1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Hello, Texans, here we go. What a huge game. Boy.

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: We've said that several times this year, but the annie

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: keeps increasing, right, the magnitude is turned up. Sunday, Texans

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: Titans at NRG Stadium, noonkick, and folks, you gotta be there.

5
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 2: You gotta be there, you gotta be early, you gotta

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: be loud, you gotta help the Texans.

7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 3: This is it.

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: Two games left in the regular season. And look, you

9
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: could possibly lose this and still make it, but you

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 2: don't want to risk that.

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: When both you're in, you're dancing. It's done.

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: It starts with the Titans on Sunday, and tonight being Thursday,

13
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: we have, of course, Johnny Harris and the general John McClain.

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 2: So John McClain, let's start with you here as the

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: Texans and the Titans get it on for the second time.

16
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: In two weeks. Always tough to be the team twice.

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: Your thoughts right now from where we sit injury report

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: not pretty for either team.

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: What do you think of this matchup on Sunday?

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be the first of many

21
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 4: matchups we see between two rookie quarterbacks. CJ. Stroud back

22
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 4: from his concussion, Will Levis, who suffered an ankle injury

23
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 4: at the end when he was bent over backwards by

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 4: the Texans pass rush. He said, full participation in practice.

25
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 4: I think these guys are going to go at it

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 4: for years and years. And I'm looking at the Titans

27
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 4: injury for it. First of all, the Texans injury for

28
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: is scary because all four starting defensive lineman out of

29
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 4: practice and wouldn't that be something that they had to

30
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: play four backups. But I'm looking at the Titans did

31
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 4: not participate limited participation, full participation, And nowhere is Jeffrey

32
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 4: Simmons listed and did they did he put him on

33
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 4: our Okay, good, all right. Taxans know they're not going

34
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 4: to have to worry about the guy in the middle

35
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 4: that's played so great for the second time and they

36
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 4: need It's it's good for them that he's out because

37
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 4: they need to run the ball really well like they

38
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 4: did two weeks ago. But I think the Titans what

39
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 4: they want to do, just like the Texans, they want

40
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: to start with the run. They've seen what Singletary is

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 4: capable of doing. They'll have a different game plan. I

42
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 4: think that both teams will stuff to run and it'll

43
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 4: come down to the rookie quarterbacks who can do the

44
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 4: best job of throwing the ball, who can get the

45
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 4: most pressure, and Deniko Autrey. They're terrifically underrated defensive tackle

46
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 4: who had two sacks two weeks ago and I think

47
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 4: that's twelve and a half of the season. They jew

48
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 4: Scrugs and those guys got to do a better job

49
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 4: against him. But I look for Stroud to bounce back.

50
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: He's hungry, he's fired up, and Bobby Slow said today

51
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 4: he looks like he's always looked in practice, so expect

52
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 4: big things from him.

53
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 5: Well along those lines, general continue with the impact of CJ.

54
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 5: Strout on the offense, just being back in what that

55
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 5: could mean for this offensive group.

56
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: Could energize the offensive group. He's got Nico Collins healthy,

57
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: Dalton Schultz, noh Brown, So he's got the full complement

58
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 4: of receivers because Tank Dell went down so long ago,

59
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: so he's got them, and he's they're not missing a

60
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 4: starting offensive lineman because of injuries. It looks like Charlie

61
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: Heck has beaten out George Fan at right tackle, and

62
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 4: so except for the defensive line, you know, they're in

63
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 4: pretty good shape and bringing in Kareem Jackson two weeks

64
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 4: after they brought in Adrian Amos. Those two experienced safeties.

65
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 4: It's amazing. And I talked to Sean Pinner guests about

66
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 4: this on our Utopia Football podcast. The players that Nick

67
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: and his staff have brought in during the season, not

68
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: the free agents in the offseason, and that was a

69
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 4: great off season for free agents, but the ones who've

70
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 4: come in here off the street and made a contribution.

71
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 4: Like defensive end Derrick Barnett. You know he's gonna have

72
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 4: to play like you played two weeks ago against the Titans.

73
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: He's from Nashville, so he'll be realal fired up. And

74
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 4: there Jerry Hughes, and you know if Will Anderson Jr.

75
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 4: Jonathan Garnard Jonathan gnar just dominated the Titans two weeks ago,

76
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to have Jerry Hughes stepped up and

77
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 4: play his best game of the season, and Derek Barnett

78
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: to play the way he did two weeks ago, and

79
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 4: hopefully that the tackles will be able to let Collins

80
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 4: and shieldon Rankins who have been vastly underrated that they're

81
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: able to go because you know, Derrick Henry's got a

82
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 4: lot of pride and he does not want people talking

83
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 4: about him rushing for nine yards again.

84
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: What do you think or what do you think happens

85
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,679
Speaker 2: with Derek ha this offseason with his contract running out,

86
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: And he was very direct after the Texans beat the

87
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: Titans a couple of weeks ago about his future. And

88
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: he played better last week against Seattle, no doubt about that.

89
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to go out week I would imagine

90
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: in these final two games. But what do you think

91
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: happens here John? As they move on from Henry? Where

92
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: are they going to go with that ground game? And

93
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: where's he going to go?

94
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: He turned starting you know Raee Moster's thirty one or

95
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 4: thirty two and he's tearing it up in Miami. Now

96
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: he doesn't have to wear and tear on him, of course,

97
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 4: but Henry people forget early in his career, you know,

98
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 4: he didn't have a lot of wear and tear. It's

99
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 4: only during this period. They missed half of the season

100
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: two years ago. And the stats, the analytics say he's

101
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: been hitting the backfield morning he running back in the league.

102
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: That's because their offensive line is not very good. Now

103
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 4: they going to have a lot of money for free agency.

104
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 4: I don't see them overpaying for running back. You know,

105
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 4: they like their rookie Taise He's been a nice compliment

106
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 4: to Derrick Henry. So if he wants to come back

107
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 4: on a contract that's team friendly, I think they'll resign it.

108
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,559
Speaker 4: But you know, he and his agent have to weigh

109
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 4: the possibilities with another team. Yeah, he's not a receiver.

110
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: He could catch the ball. He'd throw a touchdown pass

111
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: every now and then, and I think it'd be weird

112
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: to see with another team, But it certainly won't be

113
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 4: surprising if somebody else is desperate for a thirty year

114
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 4: old running back, and I just don't see that him

115
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 4: getting anywhere near the money he wants It to. Probably

116
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 4: be a deal, maybe a one or two year contract

117
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 4: with a lot of incentives.

118
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: General. You talked about it earlier about Will Levis.

119
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 5: What's the overall sentiment there in Tennessee about what Will

120
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 5: Levis has done this year and what he projects to

121
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 5: do in the future.

122
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 4: They love Will Levis. His offensive lines were mostly terrible.

123
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 4: He does other DeAndre Hopkins. He doesn't have a receiver,

124
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 4: he doesn't have a tie in, and he's thrown some

125
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 4: deep passes. Andre needs what sixty one yards to hit

126
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 4: a thousand or something like that, and he's averaging fifteen

127
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 4: point four yards of catch, which is good for him

128
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 4: and his six touchdowns. So they're going to have to

129
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 4: help Levis. They're going to they need a couple of

130
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 4: three starters in their offensive line. Tray Lion Burks, who

131
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 4: was supposed to compensate for one of the worst team

132
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 4: trades ever aj Brown to the Eagles, and he hasn't

133
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 4: stepped up in his second year. He's hurt a lot.

134
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 4: They got to put weapons around him. He doesn't have

135
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 4: Nico Collins and Tank Dell and Dalton Sultz, and so

136
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 4: that'll be I think a point of emphasis for them

137
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 4: in the off season as they try to build around Levis.

138
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 4: And the main thing they want to teach Levis and

139
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 4: people are make a big deal out of it, he's

140
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: got to learn to slide. They might need to take

141
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: him over there to the Nashville Sounds Ballpark and have

142
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: him run the first and second all the time and

143
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 4: teaching have one of those players teaching to slide because

144
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 4: he had to do it.

145
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: General Coach of the Year candidates Dan Campbell, Kevin stefanski I,

146
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: don't want to get into all the other guys, but

147
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: I am focusing on the battle between Shane Steichen and

148
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: Tomiko Ryans, who are near the top of the Odds

149
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: board and Coach of the Year honors. So you tell me,

150
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: is it all going to come down to at least

151
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: between those two? Whoever finishes better? Is that what your

152
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 2: vote would be if you had to eliminate everybody else,

153
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: and it's got to be Stiking or Demiko, would it

154
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: be about who wins Week EIGHTEAM.

155
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 4: That's the way that you would break a time. Two

156
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 4: great coaching jobs by two first year coaches who were coordinator.

157
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 4: Steikens had to play a backup quarterback almost the whole

158
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 4: season and Gardner Minshew. And as I've said a million times,

159
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 4: I think the culture where they are because of Minshew.

160
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: They wouldn't have been this good with Anthony Richardson. Richardson

161
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 4: just didn't have starting experience. Yeah, he's in and out

162
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 4: of lineup because he's running a lot, get taken a

163
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 4: lot of unnecessary hits. So he's getting to watch and learn.

164
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 4: And Minshaw knows Saint Steiking's system from being in Philly

165
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 4: a couple of years, so He's done a really good job.

166
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 4: To me, Beco's done a great job with all the

167
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 4: injuries that he has, and I think Dan Campbell's done

168
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 4: a great job, but he was supposed to win the division.

169
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 4: Has he lost his quarterback?

170
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 6: No?

171
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 4: Has he lost his top receiver, his top running back.

172
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: No.

173
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 4: Has he lost his best pass wrestler No, he and

174
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 4: they were really good over the second half of last year.

175
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 4: Now I can see Kevin Stefanski because playing four quarterbacks

176
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 4: winning with Joe Flacco, I can see her a reason

177
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 4: why they're all wacko for Flaco up there. And I

178
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 4: think if the Browns don't crater here in the last

179
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 4: two games, you know they should be the Jets tonight.

180
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 4: I can't remember who they played next week. I think

181
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 4: because remember the voting is for regular season, and they're

182
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 4: the first team to have four quarterbacks win games for

183
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 4: a team that won at least ten games. So I

184
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: think Kevin Stepanski is gonna win.

185
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 3: General got a scale on a scale of one to ten.

186
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 5: Ravens beating the forty nine ers by two touchdowns in

187
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 5: the forty nine Ers building. What kind of statement was

188
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 5: made by the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night scale of

189
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 5: one to ten, one and not so much ten.

190
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: Massive stake in the ground.

191
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 4: Statement, John, that was a ten because we all thought

192
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers are gonna win that game. Forty

193
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 4: nine ers going in, we thought were the best team,

194
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 4: and they didn't just beat them on the field golf

195
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 4: end of the game. They physically beat up a team

196
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 4: that physically beats up other teams as beating up the Eagles,

197
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 4: the Cowboys, the Jaguars, and and now if they play

198
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 4: in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, the forty nine

199
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 4: Ers led by Kyle Santay, they got a lot of pride.

200
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 4: I don't think you're going to see them beating them

201
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 4: up two times in a year. But Baltimore, they're built

202
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 4: to win outdoors with a strong running game led by

203
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson. He's They've got him some good receivers and

204
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 4: their defense is tremendous. So I the Super Bowl is

205
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 4: going to go. The road to the Super Bowl in

206
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 4: Vegas's gonna go through Baltimore. And you guys know what

207
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 4: it's like to play in Baltimore because begin the season

208
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 4: there and Kansas City is to me right now is

209
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 4: a huge disappointment. Miami finally beat a team with a

210
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 4: winning record that did more to lose it than they

211
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 4: did to win it. Buffalo, maybe Buffalow in Cleveland right now,

212
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 4: maybe the second and third best teams in the AFC,

213
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 4: teams that are more equipped to win in Baltimore, in

214
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 4: Miami and Kansas City, which is so discombobulated. And really

215
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 4: who in the NFC Detroit? Detroit's probably gonna lose to Dallas.

216
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 4: But who is gonna challenge forty nine ers Eagles. That's

217
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 4: gonna be interesting. But it's weird that you have division

218
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 4: winners and they have seen you don't look as strong

219
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: as two red eye wildcard teams and the Bills and

220
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: the Browns.

221
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: John McLain joining us on Texans Radio, all right, let's

222
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: get back to the quarterback intrigue, because I really love

223
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: this stuff.

224
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 3: The Colts.

225
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: Let's go back to them.

226
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: Let's say the Colts and I don't want to see

227
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 2: this finish really strong, win a couple of playoff games

228
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 2: with Minshew next year.

229
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: Is there a controversy?

230
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 2: Is there an inkling of Hey, Richardson, you have to

231
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: wait a little bit here, because we did so well

232
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: with Gardner Minshew. What if they go on a deep

233
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: playoff run with him, and I want to lop another one.

234
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: On top of that. What if Will Levis? We don't

235
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: really know. It's a little shaky.

236
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to commit, says Mike

237
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 2: Brable and ran Carthin And they picked what seventh? Right

238
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: now where they stand, there might be a nice, juicy

239
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 2: quarterback they're waiting for them in the draft.

240
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: What do they do? Go ahead, that's for both of you.

241
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: Generally you go first.

242
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 4: Would you rather have bow Nix or JJ McCarthy over

243
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 4: Will Levis? Based on what Levis has done with no

244
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 4: players around him, very few around him, I don't think so.

245
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 4: They loved Levis's arm, his attitude, his fearlessness, his ability

246
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 4: to run and make plays off schedule. But of all

247
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 4: these rookie quarterbacks, he's had the less weapons around him

248
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 4: than any of them. I thought it would be CJ.

249
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 4: Stroud going in. I thought, man, they need receivers. You know,

250
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 4: Nico'collins can't stay healthy. Tankd ELL's he's a run. He's

251
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 4: gonna get hurt. He did, but didn't have any idea

252
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 4: he's going to be as great as he was. And

253
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 4: then Dalton Shultz stepping up. It's amazing the way that

254
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 4: Dimico Ryans and his coaches have elevated. Did the player's confidence,

255
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 4: execution and uh and and that's I can't wait to

256
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 4: see the free agents because they're not gonna come here

257
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 4: for cheaper, but players to those free agents, they're gonna

258
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 4: they're gonna look here first when they're looking for another team.

259
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 4: And of course Casario have to play them. But as

260
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 4: far as how boy Indy, they drafted Richardson for a reason.

261
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 4: They love him, they know he's the long term answer.

262
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 4: I don't know why it would art to sit him

263
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 4: a second year. You know, Rogers sat for three years,

264
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 4: as the quarterbacks have said for a while, but I

265
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 4: kind of think they go back to Richardson. I thought

266
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 4: you're gonna ask Black Oh, in no way, shape or form,

267
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 4: even if Flato leads them to the Super Bowl, is

268
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 4: he coming back. I've talked to media people up there,

269
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 4: have talked to two people in the organization. Read a

270
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 4: great thing in the Athletic about it. They can't have

271
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 4: the wily, pop pular Flaco on the roster with Shaan Watson,

272
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 4: who everybody has been disappointed in except for his last

273
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 4: half in which he was fourteen or fourteen, and he

274
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 4: wonted Baltimore. That's what they remember. But you can't have

275
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 4: Flacco there and watch them throw a couple of interceptions.

276
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 4: They be chanting wacko wacko, and everybody says Flacco is

277
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 4: out of there no matter what.

278
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: Interesting.

279
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 5: First of all, if on Tennessee, I absolutely look at

280
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 5: bow Nick's JJ McCarthy, excuse me, Jadon Daniels, I agree

281
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 5: that he has got not a ton of weapons around him.

282
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 5: But his weapons are okay. It's his offensive line that's

283
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 5: the issue. And so I don't know how you fixed

284
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 5: the meat tried last year. Then we got Andre Dillar

285
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 5: Daniel Brunskill. They paid a lot of money for those

286
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 5: two guys. They drafted Scarronsky. It just is it hasn't

287
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 5: been right in Tennessee. I don't think there's any question

288
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 5: in that general seeking the Browns. The Browns have the Jets.

289
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 5: Tonight we go out a little bit. Well, it just

290
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 5: hit me what I want to talk about.

291
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson, what happens next?

292
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 5: And to your point about the Shawn Watson, is there

293
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 5: a chance the Browns just say, you know what, we're

294
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 5: gonna follow what the Broncos did. We're just gonna take

295
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 5: this big old cap it, bring Flacco back on a

296
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 5: reasonable deal and roll with Flacco with a young guy,

297
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 5: maybe dthr or somebody else behind him.

298
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 3: Is there any chance.

299
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 5: That the Browns would follow what the Broncos are.

300
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 3: Going to do with Russell Wilson?

301
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 5: And how do you kind of make sense of what's

302
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 5: going on in Denver with Russell Wilson, Sean Payton everything.

303
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 4: There no chance whatsoever that happens in Cleveland. And in

304
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 4: the case of Sean Payton, it has a monstrous ego.

305
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 4: You know, he didn't give it. He didn't make that

306
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 4: trade for for two ones, two to two something else

307
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 4: and three starters. You know he didn't do it. That's

308
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 4: second worst trade in NFL history to herschel Walker from

309
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 4: the Cowboys to the Vikings that set up three super

310
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 4: Bowl victories in four years. And Deshaun Watson could end

311
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,719
Speaker 4: up being the third worst. But going back to Denver,

312
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 4: they will cut him in the off season. They will

313
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 4: designate him as a June first cap casualty because you

314
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 4: can do it with two players and that will split

315
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 4: it and it'll be a really big cap hit. This year.

316
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 4: It'll be a huge one next year, but it would

317
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 4: have been a monster and I don't know how they're

318
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 4: going to go about putting together for the next couple

319
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 4: of years working around this massive mistake. And Wilson can

320
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 4: go for the minimum and make like one point five

321
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 4: million get paid. He's getting all these millions from the

322
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 4: Browns and he could go, say, say the Raiders like

323
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 4: ain'd no Carle or Rookie dead. But they think he

324
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 4: needs a little more seasoning and bring in Russell Wilson

325
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 4: because Wilson hasn't played badness year and he's handled everything

326
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 4: in a first class manner. If you have a young

327
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 4: quarterback right now, and you might bring in Wilson for

328
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 4: the idea of a year or two. Or if you

329
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 4: draft one, say near the bottom of the first round,

330
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 4: and you want a veteran in front of him for

331
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 4: a couple of years, he'll get another job. But he

332
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 4: hit all the money is going to come from Denver,

333
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 4: And I'll bet you nobody will say this. George Peyton

334
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 4: or GM who's the one extended his contract and hired

335
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 4: Nathaniel Hackett and he was He was criticized by Sean

336
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 4: Payton in that article he did in USA today in

337
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 4: which he trashed Hackett. I'll gear I won't guarantee you,

338
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 4: but I'll bet George Peyton is out of there's GM

339
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 4: and they'll bring in somebody that Sean Payton likes and

340
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 4: has worked with.

341
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 2: I would bet that would be true as well. All right,

342
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 2: let's get to this now. Hall of Fame finalists general.

343
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: Here we go, I think and correct me if I'm wrong.

344
00:18:54,240 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: Antonio Gates and Julius Pepper's are basically locked, but everybody else.

345
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: Is a debate. Some have very strong arguments.

346
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on this class and how the goat Andre

347
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 2: Johnson is going to stack up? And is this possibly Well,

348
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: it's possibly the year, but is this the year?

349
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: What do you think?

350
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 7: Well?

351
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 4: I certainly hoped the third time is the charm, but

352
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 4: I got to tell you it's the same three wide

353
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 4: receivers who are finalists, Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne and Torry Old,

354
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 4: and they cancel each other out. I'm kind of changing

355
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 4: my strategy on my presentation because I don't want to

356
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 4: keep saying, well, he never played with a quarterback better

357
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 4: Matt Schab and he never had a great wide receiver

358
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 4: opposite him. Till the end of his career with DeAndre

359
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 4: Hopkins for one season in which I've had a thousand yards,

360
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 4: and so my goal I can't giveaway my presentation is

361
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 4: to get Jim Schwartz, who went against him for eight

362
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 4: years and as a Red Ott assistant coach now whose

363
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 4: name is in the news. I want to talk to him.

364
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan and Mike McDaniel. Shanahan and McDaniel coached him here.

365
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 4: They also are Red Eye coaches, so maybe they're having

366
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 4: a few quotes. And remember the presentation is only five minutes,

367
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 4: and I don't want to hit him up with too

368
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 4: many numbers and ask some other people who want to

369
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 4: speak up for Andre. And so Bud Graggie, Wayne's got

370
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 4: Tony Duney and Bill Pollian presenting him. And then there's

371
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 4: a little low me and then uh and Tory Old.

372
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 4: All of them have all of them are worthy of

373
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame. Everybody says that, but we're not

374
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 4: going to put three receivers in one class. And I

375
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 4: don't care if they put Reggie Wayne in first or

376
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 4: Tory Old. I just want to break the logjam, so

377
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 4: Andre get what's gets what he deserves. His enshrinement and

378
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 4: Ken and I've done. I'm doing everything I possibly can.

379
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 4: I don't know anything new different, And I tell Andre

380
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 4: exactly what I'm doing. See if he has any recommendations,

381
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 4: anything he wants to add. He's been great, he's been patient.

382
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 4: You know, if it doesn't work this year, I'm gonna say,

383
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 4: do you want another presenter? And so hopefully that it'll

384
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 4: all work out, but it's gonna be tough. Pepper's, I think,

385
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 4: is a lot Antonio Gates played a lot of years,

386
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 4: played with a great quarterback in Philip Rivers and caught

387
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 4: a lot of touchdown passes. So there's only Hall only

388
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 4: tied end. Recently he's gotten it on the first ballot

389
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 4: was Tony Gonzalez and uh, but I think there's a

390
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 4: good chance Gates gets in and that leaves three other spots.

391
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 3: It does lift three other spots.

392
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 5: And looking at these names general, I feel like, and

393
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 5: I'm not totally sure who's following. I don't know what's

394
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 5: coming the following class, but I feel like this, if

395
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 5: this this is the year that Andre makes it, because

396
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 5: like you said, I don't know that I can look

397
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 5: at I think Pepper's is a lock. But after that,

398
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 5: I don't know that I look at you any other

399
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 5: and go, yeah, yeah.

400
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 3: That guy's a lock to get in.

401
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 5: A few of these guys have been on the ballot

402
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 5: for a while, so it, like you said, I would

403
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 5: imagine it is difficult to kind of come up with

404
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 5: a different strategy to get the voters to look at

405
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 5: Andre in a different way. But I would imagine that

406
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 5: a lot of these guys are kind of going through

407
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 5: the same thing because they've.

408
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: Been on a ballot for a while.

409
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 5: I mean, Jared Allen's been on a ballot for how long,

410
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 5: Fred Taylor's been on it for how long?

411
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 3: Reggie Wayne same thing.

412
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 5: I would imagine they're all gonna have a different strategy

413
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 5: or have you know, because they've been on it for

414
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 5: three or four years as well. How do you kind

415
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 5: of I don't know. I mean, that's just kind of

416
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 5: my opinion on.

417
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 3: The whole thing.

418
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 5: I think we all know he deserves to get in.

419
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 5: But one name that's not on here, general, and I

420
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 5: just get your thoughts on it. Why is Steve Smith,

421
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 5: in your opinion, formerly of the Panthers and the Ravens.

422
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 3: Why is he not a finalist?

423
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 4: I don't know. Anguan Bolin was on there as well.

424
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 4: Hinz Ward was on there. Heines Ward played two Super Bowls,

425
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 4: was a Super Bowl MVP. He was a great blocker,

426
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 4: He was a really good receiver. He had longevity. He

427
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 4: was the epitome of a player you want in Philadelphia.

428
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 4: Not any of these show boats they got now receiver,

429
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 4: and but he hadn't. He didn't, He hasn't made the

430
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 4: final He had no finalists. And I'm glad I don't

431
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 4: need any more receivers to deal with.

432
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true, and look this receiver debate. You brought

433
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: up the big points here. Holt had a great one

434
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 2: opposite him. Reggie Wayne had a great one opposite him.

435
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 4: Quarterbacks, all of fame running backs played with both of

436
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 4: those guys. And the committee knows it because I've talked

437
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 4: to him about that, and I've let I've read the

438
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 4: quarterbacks that Andre's played with. But I don't want to

439
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 4: insult them and do it again. I'm gonna let somebody

440
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 4: else do that. But nobody ever says Andre Johnson doesn't

441
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 4: deserve it. Everybody said all three of them deserve it.

442
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 4: But I just know we're not going to put three

443
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 4: receivers in the same year.

444
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 2: All right, one more for you here, John Jacksonville, give

445
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 2: me your thoughts. Are they going to fade into the

446
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 2: dust here in these final two regular season games? Or

447
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 2: do they right the ship because Trevor Lawrence is so

448
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 2: backed up. The amount of injuries that Trevor Lawrence has

449
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 2: it's astounding and they need him.

450
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: CJ.

451
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: Bethard is not going to be able to get the

452
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: job done in the same fashion, but a banged up

453
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence certainly can't do the job. What do you

454
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: think happens to Jacksonville these final two games? Do either

455
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: the Colts or the Texans overtake the Jags for the

456
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,479
Speaker 2: AFC South title?

457
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 4: The Jags will win a time breaker, of course, they

458
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 4: swept the Colts and they have better what division record

459
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 4: than the Texans something like that. And the thing is

460
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 4: they have a losing record at all. And I read

461
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 4: a thing today about how much Bryce Young has improved

462
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 4: the last month. It hadn't showed up in victories, but

463
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 4: it's amazing the different things that he's doing better than

464
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 4: he was. So are they capable of winning? Probably not.

465
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: It would be one of.

466
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 4: Those deals where the Jaguars would have to lose it

467
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 4: with turnovers or special teams. Poor special teams play. The

468
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 4: team that can ruin the Texans and the Jaguars is Tennessee.

469
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 4: You know, Mike Brable would love to win both of

470
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 4: those games. And if the Texans beat the Titans, and

471
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 4: the Titans beat the Jaguars and the Texans beat the Colts,

472
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 4: then the Titans will have helped the Texans win the division.

473
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 4: And I think everybody should call them and say where

474
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 4: are those colors? Every time? We don't care. You gotta

475
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 4: do something special for the Titans to help the Texans

476
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 4: win the division. And it could happen because Indy, like Jacksonville,

477
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 4: has a losing record at home.

478
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 5: General real very odds out here. Browns Jets real quick tonight.

479
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 3: Who you got?

480
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 4: I'm going with the Browns. They're gonna be so fired up.

481
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 4: Those fans have been drunker and skunk since yesterday.

482
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 2: Good stuff, all right, John, We look forward to the

483
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 2: HUGEU Toopia podcast if people haven't listened to the Wednesday

484
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: release yet and whatever else you're running for Sports Radio

00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot for being with us, Gods, thank you

487
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: very much.

488
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 2: Right back to it here at Texans Radio Mark Vandermaer

489
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 2: and John Harris with you as we normally do, who's

490
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 2: better or more likely to happen, But we have so

491
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 2: much to get to that we just have to get

492
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: into it. Johnny, we face the prospect of the Texans

493
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 2: having their entire D line out for this game.

494
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: Starters and the safety position.

495
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 2: Is a bit of a mystery right now, because Petree,

496
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 2: what are they gonna do after what happened as the

497
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 2: Cleveland game transpired? As it evolved, you have Kareem coming

498
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 2: into the flow. A lot of mysteries here, and the

499
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 2: coaches have been very clear. We heard from the assistance today,

500
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 2: you don't know what's gonna happen against this Titan team.

501
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: I'm a little concerned about some of these matchups. But

502
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 2: the good thing is they're so beat up as well. Yeah,

503
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 2: they're They're about as beat up as I've seen.

504
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 5: And when I say beat up, I mean dudes on

505
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 5: ir And so I will use you know a number

506
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 5: of different things as I writ might know your faux article.

507
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 5: You know who's starting. What's the two deep? Our lads

508
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 5: does a great job. They're too deep. So they put

509
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 5: green names that are rookies. Red names are and normally

510
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 5: everybody's a blue right. Red names are guys that are injured.

511
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 5: It looks like it looks like Christmas spit all over there.

512
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 5: They're too deep. It's unbelievable. So this lat one, No, no,

513
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 5: what's today? Today's the twenty eight So five days ago,

514
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 5: on the twenty third, they put three guys on IR,

515
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 5: Jeffrey Simmons, Luke Gifford, and Jack Gibbons.

516
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, all three starters. Now we didn't see Simmons.

517
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 5: Now, the week before we played them, they put Christian

518
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 5: Fulton and Kyle Peko.

519
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

520
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 5: So just so this is it's crazy to think about.

521
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 5: Since week fourteen, so that was the week that the

522
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 5: Colts played the Titans.

523
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: They blocked those punts.

524
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 5: Right, the Titans have put on IR punter Ryan Stonehouse,

525
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 5: Joe Jones, Christian Fulton, starting corner, Kyle Pecko, rotation lineman,

526
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 5: Nick Westbrook, A Kine after our game, safety, Amani Hooker

527
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 5: after our game, Jeffrey Simmons after our game, Luke Gifford

528
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 5: after our game, Jack Gibbons after our game, and guys

529
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 5: that started against us. Jalen Duncan's dealing with a wrist issue.

530
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 5: He might have to be replaced. Daniel Brunskill missed last

531
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 5: week at right guard. He was replaced last week by

532
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 5: Andrew Rupsich. And I don't know if Bruskill's ready to go.

533
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 5: Levis probably is gonna be ready to go. T K

534
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 5: McClinton has banged up for them, Sean Murphy Bunting starting corners,

535
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 5: banged up, Kevon Wallace has banged up. Those are all

536
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 5: guys that are star for them. I mean it might

537
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 5: come to where Garrett Wallow, who got claimed on their

538
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 5: fifty three man roster from our practice squad, he might.

539
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: Start at linebacker because that's all they've got. What about

540
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 2: Tier Tart possibly starting.

541
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 5: As defensive Texans against the Titans.

542
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you have Wallow and Tart switching teams and

543
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 2: possibly starting.

544
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's wild, it reallyail.

545
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 2: This is an amazing war of attrition, this National Football

546
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: League stuff, and that's what we're looking at here. And

547
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any doubt that a healthy Levis

548
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 2: has to start for the Titans organization.

549
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 5: Right absolutely, there's no doubt, no doubt whatsoever. Every single

550
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 5: snap over these next two games for the Titans.

551
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: Will Levis has to play.

552
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 5: You gotta know what you've got You have to you

553
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 5: have to know what you have going to the offseason

554
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 5: to say nope, or we see promise, we can do

555
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 5: more with him, let's go. We can you know, plant

556
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 5: around having Will Lewis. I think that's what they're gonna

557
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 5: I had to do. But they've got to find out

558
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 5: the next couple of weeks whether they feel one hundred

559
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 5: percent confident in that decision.

560
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: Now, what helps that decision for them.

561
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 5: Is the fact that Ran Carthon took over his GM

562
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 5: Mike Rabel's been the head coach.

563
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: They drafted Will Levis.

564
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 5: It was this situation where they came into a spot

565
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 5: and Will Levis was there, and now they're trying to decide.

566
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 5: They drafted Will Levis, so they had conviction about the

567
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 5: guy already. So I think he's going to be their

568
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 5: guy going forward, which is going to be kind of

569
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 5: interesting because he's like a Jackson Pollock painting.

570
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: He's all over the place.

571
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 5: I mean, when he threw the interception, you throw it

572
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 5: down to me, and the one thing I said was

573
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 5: he just did something great. The Will Levis experience says,

574
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 5: here comes something crappy, and he threw an interception of

575
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 5: the very next play. So from that perspective, it's just inconsistency.

576
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 5: But how do you get past that?

577
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: You play? You play, so I expect see Will Levis.

578
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 5: But the point of all that is there's going to

579
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 5: be a huge difference not only for the Texans but

580
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 5: for the Titans and who plays this game?

581
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: All right, spoiler alert. I did extra points with John McClain.

582
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: That'll be Saturday night, ABC thirteen, ten thirty five pm.

583
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: And also on YouTube before that.

584
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 2: But Drew Doherty asked us over under, what was it

585
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 2: about sixty seven yards whatever that average Henry yardage output is.

586
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,239
Speaker 1: Is he over or under that?

587
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: I went over, McLean went under, OK, And I went

588
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 2: over because I thought, look, I'm not saying he's gonna

589
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 2: run for two hundred yards, but Derrick Henry, I said

590
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: seventy to one hundred yards in this game. And you

591
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: know what, I would take that going in And you

592
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 2: might think I'm crazy based on what we just saw

593
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: two weeks ago, but to me, he's gonna be really upset.

594
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: He was back against Seattle, not full.

595
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 2: Henry back, but he ran for nearly ninety yards in

596
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 2: that game four and a half plus per pop. Ran

597
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 2: for a touchdown through a touchdown pass caught a pass

598
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 2: for eleven. Look, Derrick Henry, nice little day here, and

599
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 2: I think he can do that and you could still

600
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: win because you could be good on third down, you

601
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 2: can get takeaways from Levis, you can do whatever you

602
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 2: need to do on offense with your quarterback coming back here.

603
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: And by whatever you need to do, I mean enough,

604
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: do enough on offense to win the football game.

605
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 5: So I ask you his question, which take Peyton Manning

606
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 5: out of it. Which AFC South player enjoyed playing at

607
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 5: Energy Stadium? More t Y Hilton or Derrick Henry. Now

608
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 5: before you answered, uh huh, the last time we beat

609
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 5: the Titans at home was twenty eighteen. Yeah, Monday at football.

610
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 5: This one's for you, Bob, I mean the just emotional night.

611
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 5: But starting in twenty nineteen, Derrick Henry, Yeah, last game

612
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 5: of the year, thirty two carries for two hundred and

613
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 5: eleven yards and three touchdowns. Titans beat the Texans JV

614
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 5: basically okay, last game of the twenty twenty season thirty

615
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 5: four carries for two hundred and fifty yards and two

616
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 5: touchdowns in a Titans forty one thirty eight win. Now

617
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one he missed twenty twenty two middle of

618
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 5: the season, thirty two carries for two hundred and nineteen

619
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 5: yards and two touchdowns in a Titans seventeen to ten win.

620
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 5: So I'll ask you a question again, who do you

621
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 5: think enjoyed playing at Energy Stadium more?

622
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: Who would the fans say is a.

623
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 5: Bigger quote unquote Villain Derrick Henry or t Y Hilton?

624
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 2: I think as building I think a lot of the

625
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 2: fans would still say t Wide. One of his big

626
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: moments was in a playoff game and it was a

627
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 2: real domination by the tennis I mean by the Indianapolis

628
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 2: Colts that day, and he arrived in the clown mask

629
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: and that was a day that we have to forget.

630
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 2: But that was a big day for the Colts against

631
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 2: this team and added on to other big days that

632
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 2: t Y Hilton has had. I'll give you another player

633
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: who's not Peyton Manning who really enjoyed playing at NRG

634
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 2: Stadium against the Texans.

635
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: That would be Vince Young.

636
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: Vince Young for the Tennessee Titans in six over a

637
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 2: time run thirty nine yards for the victory, and in

638
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 2: nine Monday Night football.

639
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: Gosh, get about that when I got that one.

640
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 5: I was down on the sidelines at the end of

641
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 5: that game because I was doing some stuff and so

642
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 5: that was the first time I'd actually been down on

643
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 5: an NFL sideline before and just watching they like this sucks,

644
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 5: Like wow, he's pulling that out.

645
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: He was shaking hands with the refs that you know.

646
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: But that was a bad day.

647
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 2: That was a really bad night that the Houston Texans

648
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 2: and Chris Brown missed a field goal at the buzzer

649
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 2: that would have tied in.

650
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 1: It was just a nightmarish. But that's the bad news. Yeah, okay,

651
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: you want the good news, give me the good news.

652
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 5: So at the end or the beginning of the game,

653
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 5: the cold game, the Christmas Eve game last year up

654
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 5: in Nashville. Yeah, he had forty eight yard run touchdown.

655
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 5: I thought, oh boy, here we go again. Missed a

656
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 5: couple tackles, he stiff farmed a couple of guys. I'm like,

657
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 5: oh boy, since that run, Dereck Henry has seventy six yards.

658
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 5: Check that he had seventy eight plus now eighty seven

659
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 5: yards on thirty eight carries. Yeah that's pretty good. No,

660
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 5: that's pretty good. I mean, even give that to him

661
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 5: on Sunday. I'll give you eighty seven yards on thirty

662
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 5: eight carre thirty eight carries.

663
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: Of course, i'll give you that. Just do the job

664
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: on third down. You're fine. That's incredible. Eight carry.

665
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 5: If they give him the ball thirty eight times, what

666
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 5: they're gonna do is avoid and this is this is

667
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 5: something that's got to get cleaned up with the Texans.

668
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 5: You're not talked about this. Levis tried it. He tried

669
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 5: to throw deep and he hit Westbrook a chemen one time.

670
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 5: In fact, I didn't even put that in this mix

671
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 5: because I don't even think it was a forty yard catch.

672
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: The Texans have gotten at They've given up at.

673
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 5: Least in every game, no matter how good the defense

674
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 5: has played. At times, they've given up a long forty

675
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 5: plus yard pass play that's led to points for the

676
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 5: other team. There's one shorter than that Rashid Shaheed against

677
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 5: the Saints, but.

678
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: That was the longest ball to Derek Carr.

679
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 5: Through all day, they're just getting killed by explosives. Will

680
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 5: Mallory forty three yard catch with the Colts set up

681
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 5: Indianapolis Colts third touchdown. Rashid chi thirty four yard bomb

682
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 5: Jonathan Mingo had a forty yard catch for the Panthers

683
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 5: that set up a field. In that game, Mike Evans

684
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 5: was ruled a touchdown on a fifty three catch scored

685
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 5: on the next play. Rondell Moore scored on a forty

686
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 5: eight yard touchdown catch in the south ends on the

687
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 5: first drive of the game. Jamar Chase sixty four yard

688
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 5: TV catch. The Jacksonville Jaguars had four receptions of forty

689
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 5: plus yards. Courtland Sutton had a forty five yard touchdown catch,

690
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 5: and Amari Cooper had a seventy five yard touchdown catch

691
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 5: and a fifty three yard catch in the first play

692
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 5: last week's game, Way give Derrick Henry thirty eight carries

693
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 5: to get eighty seven yards as long as you can

694
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 5: eliminate that way.

695
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 2: Too many explosives. That is shocking. Well, you just laid

696
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 2: out amazing. I don't even know if I got them all.

697
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: It's happened in some of the wins, as you've pointed out,

698
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 2: where they've just given up gigantic pass plays and they've

699
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: got to find a way to stop it.

700
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: And is help on the way.

701
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 2: Well, Kareem's here now, but you lost Jimmy Ward he's

702
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 2: on an IR now. And Jimmy Ward was pretty good

703
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 2: for this team. It's really unfortunate to see Jimmy not

704
00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 2: only miss games, but play and then get knocked out early. Yes,

705
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 2: in games you have to go the rest of the

706
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 2: game without him like Cleveland, and good luck to that, right,

707
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 2: And there you are playing Adrian Amos at safety with

708
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 2: DHC and two guys who weren't with the team on

709
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 2: opening day, and that just really hurts a lot. So

710
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 2: that's appalling, and I know the coaches are doing everything

711
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 2: they can to try to fix that. But Johnny, answer

712
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 2: this for me. Back to Henry for a moment, because

713
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 2: it's all about him. Let's be honest here, They're not

714
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 2: going to beat you any other way, but with Derek

715
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 2: Henry waking up here, correct, you know if you allow

716
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 2: Levis to actually beat you through the air, well, then

717
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 2: you don't deserve to be a playoff team anyway. Yes, right,

718
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 2: But Henry, with all the injuries they have, let's just

719
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 2: say you're starting for defensive linemen are out of this one.

720
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 2: Can they still do it? Does the game plan still

721
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 2: work that they had up in Nashville? And I don't

722
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 2: mean to the tune of twenty touches in less than

723
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,439
Speaker 2: ten yards right into the tune of relative success here,

724
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 2: so you can get off the field on third down.

725
00:37:58,440 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned to your tart early.

726
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 5: I was a big fan of his because I saw

727
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 5: that the game they played here, it was just physically

728
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 5: overwhelming and Tartan Simmons were just unblockable. So if Tierr's

729
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 5: gonna play a significant amount inside, I'm good with that.

730
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 5: And look, Heiinash and Khalil Davis have played. They've played

731
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 5: decent inside and they're not as They're not as twitching

732
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 5: explosive as you would say Sheldon and Malik are, but

733
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 5: they got to play. I feel confident with those two tiers,

734
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 5: and it probably means if both Sheldon and Malik are

735
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 5: unable to go, you probably bring up Rashard Lawrence from

736
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 5: the practice squad, who Matt Burke has experience with having

737
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 5: been with the Cardinals.

738
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: And I like Rashard Lawrence.

739
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 5: I mean I think he is he is He's not

740
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 5: gonna give you explosive things that he's gonna do the

741
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 5: right thing, and he's gonna be really hard to block.

742
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 5: The question becomes what pressure do you get from the edge,

743
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 5: because you got Derek Barnett, and you got Jerry Hughes,

744
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 5: and you got my j Sanders. You've got those three

745
00:38:58,760 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 5: and if there's anybody in forgetting.

746
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: But can they hold the edge? That's the end. I

747
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: think they can. Now.

748
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 5: My Jay's thin, but he's long and he's pretty strong

749
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 5: for a guy that's that's thin.

750
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: Just hit Henry and wait for the cavalry to arrive.

751
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 5: Well, I think the biggest thing is if you can

752
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 5: control the blocker and just force Henry to stop and

753
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 5: have to cut back inside, then you win.

754
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: Okay, then you fire. Oh yeah, he doesn't have to

755
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: do that.

756
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 5: I'm not like winning the ball game, but that's a

757
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 5: big key in getting you to a win in the

758
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 5: ball game.

759
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: That's just to win on that particular play.

760
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 5: You can't get mowed down on the outside, and I

761
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 5: don't think they will.

762
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: Are you gonna get seven sacks? I don't know if

763
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: you get that all right?

764
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 2: Kareem Jackson his back. John Weeks came to the Texans

765
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 2: in twenty ten, so did Kareem. What did the longest

766
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 2: tenure Texan have to say about Kareem's return? Also, Houston

767
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 2: Methodist minutes hand elbow wrist injuries. We cover them all

768
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 2: in Rapid Fire two. It at Triel fashion. It's coming

00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 2: for the organization, and he and Kareem coming in the

776
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 2: same year.

777
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool stuff.

778
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 2: Drew Doherty visited with Weeks about the last couple of

779
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 2: games and Kareem, and then some two minutes with a

780
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 2: Texan with Drew and John Weeks.

781
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 7: You are finishing up the home campaign five and three

782
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 7: so far.

783
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: How big would it be?

784
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 7: So it's an obvious question, but how big would it

785
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 7: be to close out the home schedule of games with

786
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 7: a victory on Sunday?

787
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be huge.

788
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 8: I mean, obviously, you know, we're very aware of the

789
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 8: position that we're in, and we understand that we have

790
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 8: got a good team coming in played them only a

791
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 8: week ago, so you know, we kind of know them

792
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 8: and they kind of know us and so to be

793
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 8: able to go out and get a victory the end

794
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 8: of the year and a big December game against an

795
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 8: AFC South of the Pony, it will be huge.

796
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 7: After the first two weeks of the season, whenever you

797
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 7: guys have dropped one, you've always bounced back quite a bit.

798
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 7: You'd never never let it linger, have you.

799
00:40:58,239 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 8: No, I know, I think a good I think the

800
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 8: team do a really good job of taking things.

801
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: Week to week.

802
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 8: I think that goes to the coaching staff. Give them

803
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 8: credit for keeping us focused on what we need to

804
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 8: be focused on and control what we can control. And

805
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,959
Speaker 8: guys come here and they prepare the right way and

806
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 8: get ready to take try to take care of business

807
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 8: for Sundays.

808
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 7: How much fun has this been for you this year?

809
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's been a blast. You know, We've got a

810
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 8: great group of guys in the locker room. The young

811
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 8: guys bring a ton of energy to a ton of

812
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 8: energy of the team and then get this old to

813
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 8: get this old guy you know, excited to be out

814
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 8: there on Sundays and it's it's been a blast. And

815
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 8: really looking forward to this last home game of the

816
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 8: season and you know, hopefully the Houston fans show out

817
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 8: and we get the dub.

818
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 7: You joke about being an old guy though you feel

819
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 7: young still.

820
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 8: That's a great question.

821
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I still.

822
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 8: You know, they keep me young, Can keeps me young,

823
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 8: Emy keeps me young, The group keeps me young. And

824
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 8: I still feel like I got some some years left

825
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 8: in me. And I'm gonna keep going to the Wills

826
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 8: fall off.

827
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 7: It's gotta feel nice. I imagine to have a guy

828
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 7: who came in with you do the same year be

829
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 7: back on the team and Kareem Jackson another twenty ten.

830
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, I love kjck. Kjack's one of my favorite teammates,

831
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 8: always in forever, and I'm super happy he's here. He's going

832
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 8: to help us tremendously on the back end of our defense.

833
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 8: You know, I don't know what else to say about

834
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 8: the man. I love the kid death and I'm glad

835
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 8: he's here. I'm glad he's ready to help us on

836
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 8: this run.

837
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 7: John Week's Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to you, Merry Christmas, Tree.

838
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 1: Thanks buddy.

839
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 2: There's Drew and John Wiks now Houston Methodist minutes, hand wrist,

840
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 2: elbow injuries, Tommy John surgery, all of it. Let's get

841
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 2: through this two minutes Rill style with doctor Corsh Jeffarnia

842
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 2: of Houston Methodist Doctor.

843
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: How's it going today? Very good?

844
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 6: Very good? Thank you?

845
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: How about you doing great? Let's discuss some of this stuff.

846
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 2: First of all, hand injuries. I know there's no one

847
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 2: type of hand injury, but it blows my mind some

848
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 2: of these NFL guys in particular, who are able to

849
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 2: get out there and play after say, breaking a hand

850
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 2: or suffering some sort of hand injury and they get

851
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 2: it wrapped up nine our receiver quarterback. They can't do it,

852
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,439
Speaker 2: but a lot of players can. Can you get into

853
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 2: that a little bit.

854
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: You've seen a lot of different things.

855
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 6: Sure sure certainly see a lot of fractures and ligament

856
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 6: injuries in the hand. And the fractures, you know, we

857
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 6: can we can compensate by putting bigger plates, bigger screws

858
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 6: than we do for the general population, so we can

859
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 6: get them out there quicker. There's been fractures that we've

860
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 6: been able to fix with very stable constructs, almost screws

861
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 6: in places that we use in their wrists and normal population.

862
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 6: We use them in the hands and have been able

863
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 6: to get them out there quicker, getting playing faster, even

864
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 6: as soon as two to three weeks.

865
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 2: Well, when you do something like that, do those screws

866
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 2: and plates eventually come out? Are they there to help heal?

867
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 2: Are they there to be removed?

868
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: How does that work?

869
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 6: They allow the healing to occur while keeping a stable

870
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 6: construct in the hand and the body basically heals and

871
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 6: the body's bone and stronger than the metal plates. So

872
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 6: we can take them out their bothers and the patients.

873
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 6: But in general we just leave them in there. If

874
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 6: they're not in a place they'll irritate the tendons or

875
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 6: the nerves.

876
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: I got to think the technology has really evolved here.

877
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 2: Maybe twenty five years ago what was going in is

878
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 2: not exactly what it is today.

879
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: Can you discuss that a little bit?

880
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 6: Sure? Sure, the plates are incredible, they're they're titanium, and

881
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 6: the screws are a lot different even now. They don't

882
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 6: just you just put a screw in through the plate.

883
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 6: You actually can lock it into the plate where it's

884
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,879
Speaker 6: a fixed construct. The strength and the plates are much

885
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 6: more than they were even ten fifteen years ago.

886
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 2: All Right, let's talk wrist injuries, because this applies to

887
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 2: the general population. An awful lot people fall, they try

888
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 2: to break their fall and they break their wrist. Is

889
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 2: this the kind of thing you see an awful lot

890
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 2: out there.

891
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 6: Quite a lot, quite a lot, especially with all the

892
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 6: new devices that are coming out, these little unit cycle

893
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 6: things and hoverboards. And when they came out first, we

894
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 6: had a rash of injuries come in from adults trying

895
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 6: to you know, live their youth again, get on those

896
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 6: things and fall on the wrist and basically call it

897
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 6: a foosh, which is a fall and outstretched hand, so

898
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 6: you basically catch yourself and try to protect your face,

899
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 6: your other vital parts of your body by putting your

900
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 6: hand out first and the risk takes in front of it.

901
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 6: And that's what we see a lot in the general

902
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 6: population for sure. And those are basically a couple of

903
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 6: varieties there's and you can treat them in the cast

904
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 6: or they're unstable and you basically put a plate and

905
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 6: screw construct on them.

906
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 2: I've got one more for you, doctor, you also work

907
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 2: on elbows. I've got a question about Tommy John surgery.

908
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 2: We see this in baseball all the time. Obviously named

909
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 2: after a baseball player. It seems like pictures are coming

910
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 2: back from Tommy John. So much faster than ever. Why

911
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 2: is that What has improved in the recovery process.

912
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 6: Well, we have more stable constructs to fix them getting

913
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 6: back quicker. But also I think the rehab has gotten

914
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 6: a lot better. And what's interesting to note in it

915
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 6: and Tommy John surgery. Sure you reconstruct the ligament, but

916
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 6: you get this intensive rehab afterwards, where I don't think

917
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 6: the pitchers are doing this in the past, where they

918
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 6: strengthen the muscles that overlie that ligament. And so not

919
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 6: only do you have a stout ligament in there, now

920
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 6: you have stronger muscles protecting that ligament. So they come

921
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 6: back and they get pitch even faster and quicker. So

922
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 6: it's a double whammy. Basically, you got stronger constructs to

923
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 6: help fix the ligament and reconstruct the ligament, and you

924
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 6: have better rehab to make it the arm and elbow

925
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 6: more stronger across the lagment.

926
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 2: Amazing stuff. Thanks so much for joining us, doctor, We

927
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 2: appreciate it.

928
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:09,879
