1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:00,720
Speaker 1: What's happened?

2
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,120
Speaker 2: Everybody?

3
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome into a Friday in show of Texans All Access

4
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: from Monday Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host, John Harris Football.

5
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: I on a sideline reporter, getting ready for Sunday, less

6
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: than forty eight hours away from arguably the most important

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: game for the Texans this season, as the six and

8
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: five Texans face the six and five Broncos. And I

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: read a stat earlier, and look, you never, you know,

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: playoff percentages, you never really Some of that can be

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: just way off.

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: Some of it could be right on.

13
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: I think just common sense tells you given the teams

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: at six and five already, give the teams at seven

15
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: and four already, if you're in competition with a team

16
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: that six and five and they've beaten you, it makes

17
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: that much tougher. But I saw percentages today that the

18
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: Texans win this game, there's like a fifty one to

19
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 1: fifty two percent chance of making a playoffs.

20
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: Lose it.

21
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: It's like a fourteen percent chance I'm making a playoffs.

22
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 2: Now.

23
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: Anything can happen. And the fact that we're even mentioning

24
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: the P word is pretty amazing, really amazing to think

25
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: about in twenty twenty three. But that's where we are

26
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: because this team has raised expectations and hopefully they will

27
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: raise the play on Sunday and gonna win over the

28
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. So we have got a lot to do today.

29
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Demico Ryants, We're gonna from Shaq Mason,

30
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: Henry Toyatoa, Nico Collins. We're gonna go behind me sidelines

00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: now once but twice. We're gonna have a little in

00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: It's fantastic to see.

39
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: I'll be wearing my shoes that were a Harris original.

40
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: I did them, I did all the art on them.

41
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: Very proud of them for autism speaks, autism awareness, So

42
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: that's gonna be my cause. So I'll be wearing those

43
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Can't wait to be able to do that.

44
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: It's kind of cool as guys where I practice today,

45
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: they were wearing them. Try to get them broken in

46
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: a little bit so they can wear them on Sunday

47
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: and not feel the effects of a.

48
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: Brand new shoot on their feet.

49
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: So we have got a lot to do, So let's

50
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 1: kick off this first segment as we always do with

51
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: Mark vandermir and your head coach, Tamiko Ryans.

52
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 3: Coach, talk to me about their return game and field

53
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: position in this one to start Marvin Mams. They seem

54
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: to get good field position a lot. I know the

55
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 3: takeaways have a lot to do with that as well.

56
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 4: Now for sure it's going to be a game of

57
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 4: the battle of the hitting yardage and we have to

58
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: win field position when it comes to the punt game.

59
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 4: They don't think the kickoff game would be much of

60
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 4: a factor here, but when it comes to the net punt, like,

61
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 4: we have to find a way right to stifle their

62
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 4: returner and we have to find a way to also

63
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 4: gain gain some yards on our point return game as well.

64
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: How does their ability to take the ball away affect

65
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: the way you play offense if at all?

66
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, we just got to understand right going in, these

67
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 4: guys do a really good job of attacking the football.

68
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 5: So we just have to be aware, all right.

69
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 4: We have to have awareness when we're you know, running

70
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: the ball in traffic. We got to make sure we

71
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 4: have our offhand on the ball, make sure we're protecting it,

72
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 4: make sure we're finishing to the ground with both hands

73
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 4: on the football. Right, we have to secure. We have

74
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 4: to make great decisions at the quarterback position.

75
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: Right.

76
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 4: We know their defensive backs they are elite that getn't

77
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 4: after the football. So we just have to have great

78
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 4: ball placement, right, be decisive where we're going with the football,

79
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 4: and we just go.

80
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 6: Right.

81
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 4: You don't focus on it, you just go. You operate

82
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 4: as fast as and efficiently as possible.

83
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 3: How did you like the way your look team portrayed

84
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: them this week getting ready for this one.

85
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, it did a really good job. Our corners.

86
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 4: I think D'Angelo ross is one guy stood out too,

87
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 4: as he made he made it tough on our receivers.

88
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 4: He did a good job of competing, forcing the guys

89
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: to really be aggressive at the catchpoint. And that's what

90
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 4: they needed to understand this week. We have to be

91
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 4: aggressive at the catchpoint at the receiver tight end position

92
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 4: and D'Angelo gave a really great look.

93
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: All Right, you've seen Russell Wilson many times before. What

94
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: are you seeing in this version of Russell Wilson where

95
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: we're at now?

96
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: Now you're seeing For me, I'm seeing a more healthy

97
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 4: version of Russell Wilson and he's been in the past.

98
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 4: He looks like the old Russell, athletic in the pocket,

99
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 4: being able to just keep playing plays alive.

100
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: Right.

101
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 4: He still has that scramble ability which he's always been

102
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: great at in his career. But you see the offense

103
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: is kind of tailored to what Russell has done best. Right,

104
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 4: playing Russell in the past, there are some things within

105
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: their offense that you see Russell has his imprint on it, right,

106
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 4: and things that he does really well.

107
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 5: We have to be ready for it. All starts with

108
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 5: the deep ball.

109
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 4: He throws one of the best deep balls in the

110
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 4: League's our corners, all right, will have to make a

111
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 4: play there with the deep ball, and then just have

112
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 4: to be when we think we've covered him and he's

113
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 4: on the move, right, I tell guys, you gotta cover

114
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: him twice because Russell is gonna move around. It's gonna

115
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 4: extend plays. But we have to play, So we have

116
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 4: to be sticky on our guys.

117
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: What about their ability to run the ball. What kind

118
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 3: of challenge is that to stop them doing that?

119
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, running the football, I think with their offensive line

120
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 4: they've been they've had some good continuity up front. Those

121
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 4: guys been together for or most of the entire season.

122
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 4: Now they've done a good job. And then it goes

123
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: to their backs. I think all three backs run the

124
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 4: ball well. Their physical backs all right, play with great

125
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 4: speed and not only a run game, but the screen game,

126
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 4: that's where the backs show up.

127
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 5: So for us, it's.

128
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: Gonna start with the edge set again, right, Can we

129
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 4: set edges right? And they're outside zone schemes, and can

130
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 4: we set the edge, funnel the ball back inside, swarm,

131
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 4: inside out, physical and attack.

132
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: The football coach? Thanks a lot, good luck, Thanks.

133
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: Mark, all right, that's the head coach your Houston Texans

134
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: Demko ryans and excited, and I'm glad that Mark asked

135
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: him about that special teams. Marvin Mims Junior, you have

136
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: something that Nick and I talked about during our hit

137
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: each week we do Wednesday nights, six pm.

138
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: Right out of the shoot.

139
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: You definitely don't want to miss on Texas All Access

140
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: executive actually president of football ops and general manager, Nick

141
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: Cascario joins Mark and me and talk about everything that

142
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: has to do with the game, and he made sure

143
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: to bring up Marvin Mims Julior, the rookie out of Oklahoma.

144
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: Who's your great things on special teams. Now, let's get

145
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: to the players that will play this game. We have

146
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: not one, not two, but three player interviews with Drew Doherty.

147
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: Let's take a listen. This first one is with Shaq Mason,

148
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: and there's two little cutlets with Nico Collins and Henry Totour.

149
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 7: We had offensive lineman Shaq Mason with us right guard.

150
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 7: Tell us what is the mood of the team right now?

151
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 6: Heading into this game in December, both teams Broncos and

152
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 6: Texans have winning records.

153
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 7: What's the mood of the team right now?

154
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 5: We're Jews. You know, we're trying to get the ball

155
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 5: roll in. We're in a position to play meeting for

156
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 5: football late in the season, so you know, it's a blessing.

157
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 5: But I think we're looking forward to the challenge a hand.

158
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 6: We lose the game last week, he won three in

159
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 6: a row before, but there was no panic there was

160
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 6: no moping in the locker room afterwards. It was a

161
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 6: big game. Yeah, but there's a lot of football left.

162
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 6: There's a lot of optimism on this team, right absolutely.

163
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 5: Like you said, Man, we lost the last game, but

164
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 5: we took a lot from it. There's no such thing

165
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 5: as a good law. You know, you want to win

166
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 5: them all. But at the same time, you know, there's

167
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 5: a lot of lessons you can learn from that game,

168
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 5: and I think we're in a better position as a

169
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 5: team after that. To a certain extent, you need that,

170
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 5: I think moving forward. You know, we took a lot

171
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 5: of less from that game, and I think we'll implement

172
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 5: them moving forward.

173
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 7: Yeah.

174
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 6: You know, as an offensive line, there have been a

175
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 6: lot of different combinations game by game this year. You've

176
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 6: been a constant in there at the right guard spot.

177
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 6: It'll be a new one this week to start out

178
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 6: left to right, you guys have. It hasn't really phased you.

179
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 6: I think it hasn't messed with what you guys are doing.

180
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 6: How difficult is it, How undifficult is it to do

181
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 6: what y'all have done and to have different combinations out there.

182
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 5: I think it's really, man, just a testament to the

183
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 5: gods stepping in. For a guy to be put into

184
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 5: that position with no type of warring or anything and

185
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 5: go out there and perform is that's a tip of

186
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 5: the hat to them. And you know, our codes as

187
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 5: well for getting each everybody prepared, because you know, when

188
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 5: we do drills and team reps, you know everybody's getting repped.

189
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 5: So we're trying to get everybody up to speed as

190
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 5: quick as posible. So I mean it because like like

191
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 5: you see, you know, you never know when somebody's gonna

192
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 5: go downs.

193
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 6: Winning the ball game is obviously the clear goal, but

194
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 6: offensive line wise, what are some of the goals you

195
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 6: guys are trying to accomplish this week against Denver?

196
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 5: For one, we definitely want to be the physical team,

197
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 5: be the most physical unit on the field that goes

198
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 5: hand and in with the winning football. If you're a

199
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 5: physical front nine times out the team you're gonna win

200
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 5: the game. You know, everything starts and ends with us,

201
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 5: and I think that's something that we've emphasized this week,

202
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 5: is just being physical, finishing, and you know, just just

203
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 5: taking the fight to those guys.

204
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 6: Tell me about those guys, especially the guys up front

205
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 6: defensively for the Broncos.

206
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 5: Those guys fly around, They have a good front, fly around.

207
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 5: Zach Allen's a good player. You know, he's definitely deserving

208
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 5: another recognition he gets. They got DJ Jones, you know,

209
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 5: he's a good player in the middle. Solid. Definitely work

210
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 5: cut out for us, but we're looking forward to the

211
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 5: task for sure.

212
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 7: Yeah. CJ. Stroud.

213
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 6: He was named on Thursday as the AFC Offensive Player

214
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 6: of the Month for November. He was also the AFC

215
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 6: Offensive Rookie of the Month for about the November. He's

216
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 6: always very quick to say, hey, it's it's the line.

217
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 6: They're the ones responsible for our success as a team.

218
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 6: When you hear stuff like that, how proud are you

219
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 6: that he gets an award like that and that he's

220
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 6: doing so well because you guys have a big, big

221
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:11,599
Speaker 6: role with all that.

222
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 5: That's amazing, man, just for the simple fact that he's

223
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 5: getting that recognition and you know he's shouting us out,

224
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 5: but you know, in reality, he's making the players back

225
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 5: there as well. You know, he's a he's a great player, man,

226
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 5: and it's great to see him get recognized and cause

227
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 5: we see, you know, the day in and day out

228
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,599
Speaker 5: of how hard he works, how he stayed how he

229
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 5: tries to pick apart things, so it's going hand and

230
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 5: handed with how he carries itself.

231
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 6: How you've been on some fantastic teams in the NFL

232
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 6: in your career. How much of a vocal leader are

233
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 6: you now as a player.

234
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 5: I'm probably a little more vocal now than I was

235
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 5: in the past, older than I was, and that was

236
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 5: part of me being here, coming to an organization that

237
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 5: hasn't necessarily had the success here recently. I know they

238
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 5: had success previous in previous years, before previous two, but

239
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 5: I think that was a focal point of mine, is

240
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 5: to try to lead some of the guys and kind

241
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 5: of show them what it's like and try to implement

242
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 5: to them and be vocal to tell what it's like

243
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 5: to win and how the winning mindset works, and you know,

244
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 5: just share different things with them.

245
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 7: How much fun is this?

246
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 5: It was a lot of fun, A lot of fun.

247
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 6: Man, Shack Mason, thanks so much for the time. Best

248
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 6: of luck on Sunday against the Broncos. Best of luck

249
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 6: the rest of the way.

250
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 5: Appreciate you.

251
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: Shortened to Shack Mason. His full name is Shaquille Elijah

252
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: Wan Mason, and I thought about Shaq, because on the

253
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: sideline last week I saw Akim Olijauan and it's like, Shaq,

254
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: I wanted to run down there, Shaq, Shaq, It's it's

255
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: a Kim Elijah Wan, It's who your middle name is.

256
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: But I didn't do that.

257
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: You know, that would be fan boying I best, probably

258
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: a little bit too much, but either way, great stuff

259
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: there from Shaq. Will hear a little drews dozen from

260
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: Shaq Mason a little bit later in the show, but

261
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: right now, we got a couple of what Drew Doherty

262
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: likes to call cutlets, a little shorties with guys in

263
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: the locker room. The first one is with Henry toatoa, Hey.

264
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 6: Henry, let's talk about the Denver run game. What have

265
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 6: you seen from them on tape that's most impressive? What

266
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 6: sort of challenges does it present?

267
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 8: The biggest thing is the backs can get downhill quick

268
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 8: and they find a lot of seams inside of a

269
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 8: defense that they try to expose. So they have three

270
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 8: great backs and they're all different style of runners, but

271
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 8: they all get downhill pretty fast.

272
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 6: From the Russell Wilson you solve and knew about growing

273
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 6: up in college, how's he compared to the guy you're.

274
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 7: Seeing on tape getting ready for this game.

275
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 9: He's the same guy, is he?

276
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's the same guy to me.

277
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 8: He can make plays with his feet, he knows where

278
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 8: to put the ball, and he puts the ball on

279
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 8: the right spot every single time where it needs to be.

280
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,599
Speaker 8: So I think it's gonna take for us to be

281
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 8: able to all be on the same page, fly to

282
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 8: the ball, put some pressure on him, and ultimately make

283
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 8: life hell in that back to the for him.

284
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 6: I ask Nico this about the offense, but defensively, where

285
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 6: do you think you guys are headed as a whole?

286
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 9: I think the only way is up.

287
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 5: Honestly, I think we have all the right pieces for it.

288
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 8: And like I always go back to this, like Complmary football,

289
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 8: if all eleven guys are on the same page, we're

290
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 8: all doing our job. I think we're so hard to

291
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 8: beat and we have the guys in the room to

292
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 8: do it. And you know, I'm really really excited for

293
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 8: where we're going.

294
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 7: Henry, thanks for the time.

295
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 5: Appreciate it.

296
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 2: Boy.

297
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: It's good to have Henry back. Last week against thee

298
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. Just having those linebackers back and then Denzel

299
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: Paraman back this week, so you got the full allotment

300
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: of guys, so they can rotate in with Cash and

301
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: Christian and Henry and Denzel and have all those guys

302
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: on the field together at different points and keep them

303
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: all fresh. That's gonna be great. That's gonna be very important.

304
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: Down the stretch. There's no question. Now.

305
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: A guy that has been absolute extraordinary this season is

306
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: Nico Collins, a third year wide receiver out of Michigan

307
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: from the state of Alabama. A little cutlet with Drew

308
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: and Nico.

309
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 7: Ko, where do you think this offense is headed?

310
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: I feel like we had in the right division.

311
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 10: You know, it's a lot of growth, you know, a

312
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 10: lot of details.

313
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 5: You know.

314
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 10: I feel like, always improve on the offense as a unit, offense,

315
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 10: both sides, office in defense.

316
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 6: You know.

317
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 10: So I feel like for us man today was was

318
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 10: a you know, watch you know the film from last week,

319
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 10: come out of practice, improve on it, and then to

320
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 10: get ready for dinner this week. Man, I feel like,

321
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 10: but it's it's a long week. Continue to stack details,

322
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 10: continue to watch film, film study manas get ready for Sunday.

323
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 7: How often do you get the game plans?

324
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 6: Start practicing on a Wednesday on Thursday and see what

325
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 6: you got, and then the stuff that you guys planned

326
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 6: and pinpointed comes to fruition on game day, it really hits,

327
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 6: It takes off, and you guys are able to exploit

328
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 6: something there.

329
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, I feel like it really starts, you know, right

330
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 10: after you know, Sunday, after you play watch the game

331
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 10: from the previous game Monday, and then you know, Tuesdays,

332
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 10: you know, off day, So it really starts Tuesday, harping

333
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 10: details and locking on the game film, you know, see

334
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 10: what covers they run and seeing what they scheme schematically.

335
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 2: You know, just seeing what they do.

336
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 10: You get to get the feel for it and go

337
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 10: out to practice, go out to practice bed and uh,

338
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 10: just get ready for you know, it's.

339
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: Gonna be fun.

340
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 6: But have you ever had an instance where you work

341
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 6: on something in particular and it just blows up in

342
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 6: a good.

343
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 7: Way for you guys? Yeah?

344
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean yeah, it's kind of kind of you know,

345
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 10: we we assume what they gonna be in Sunday. You know,

346
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 10: it's kind of like an assumption thing. But you know,

347
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 10: going out Sunday, you really don't know until you're out there.

348
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 10: You know, I feel like whatever they show. You know,

349
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 10: we're gonna have to adapt to it, you know, that's

350
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 10: that's part of you know. So I feel like just

351
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 10: we're gonna be prepared for anything they throw at us

352
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 10: and get ready for Sunday, you know, just whatever they

353
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 10: trying to mix it up, you know, be ready for it.

354
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: All right, Steve into the injury slash status report for

355
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: this one, and I will say it's much better than

356
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: it's been in previous weeks. Doesn't mean it's a clean sheet,

357
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: and there's one big out. In fact, that's the only out,

358
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: and that's Dalton Schultz. Hate seeing that hamstring issue that

359
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: popped up late in the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

360
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: Didn't practice all week. Unfortunately, gonna miss Dalton Schultz, but

361
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: probably gonna mean more opportunities for Brevent Jordan Eric Salbert, who,

362
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: by the way, is the answer to the tribute question

363
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: am I by the numbers this week? Who was the

364
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: only player to catch a touchdown in the Texans Broncos

365
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: game last year and it was the game winning touchdown

366
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: from Russell Wilson to Eric Saubert who was a member

367
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: of the Denver Broncos last year. In Week two, he

368
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: is now a member of the Texans, and he will

369
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: play a big role. With Dalton Schultz out questionable, some

370
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: bigger names here, I should say bigger names, some big

371
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: names here, starting with Noah Brown. Now Noah throughout the

372
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: week kind of ramped up a little bit and then

373
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: down a little bit. Limited participant and I practice on

374
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: Wednesday to Wednesday, Thursday, did not participate on Friday. His

375
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: listen is questionable. Tank Dell limited after well, he's limited

376
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: all week. He was a d MP on Wednesday, limited

377
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: on Thursday, limit on Friday. He's questionable, but it feels

378
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: like Tanks can give it a go. Sheldon Rankins, dealing

379
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: with the elbow issue, was limited today after being a

380
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: d MP yesterday. He's also questionable. Jake Hanson hamstring hand.

381
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: Good to see Jake back full at practice the last

382
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: two days. He is questionable. So four questionables. No Brown, Tankdale,

383
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: Sheldon Rankins, Jake Hansen one out, Dalton Schultz. In the

384
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: Broncos side, they're pretty healthy for the most part. Damari

385
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: matthis questionable with a back issue of the backup corners

386
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: to being not at tomorrow. Mathis but that's it. Bronco's

387
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: relatively healthy Texans moving finally in that particular direction. Uh,

388
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: but good to see them getting a number of guys back.

389
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ward included who is got no status which means

390
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: he's in. That's great, larry My Tunsell, George Fan and

391
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: of course CJ.

392
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: Stroud.

393
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: They are all in with no status as well. So

394
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: that's good news. Bad news Dalton Schultz being out, so

395
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: guys are gonna have to step up. There's no question

396
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: in his stead breather Jordan Eric Salbert. Don't know what

397
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: else they'll do at tight end, whether they'll bring up

398
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: Dalton Keen again. We'll see how that goes. But Texans

399
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: missing Dalton Schultz in this one, all right? How does

400
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: that manifest itself in this game against the Broncos. We

401
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: I'll give you my keys to the game next right

402
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: here on Texans All Access.

403
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: What's up, everybody?

404
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back to a Friday edition to Texans All Access.

405
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Sean Harris Football and a sideline reporter

406
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: as we whittle away at the time the Texans take

407
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 1: on the Broncos. Noon kick. Keep that in mind, folks,

408
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: Noon Kick, I know your tickets and everything will probably

409
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: say three to ZHO five but again, this game was

410
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: flexed a couple of weeks ago, about ten days ago,

411
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: maybe I think to a noon game. Why why was

412
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: it flexed? Well, they wanted to give the Texans and

413
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: Broncos a little bit bigger stage. Now we get to

414
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: my predictions a little bit later in the show, you'll realize, hey,

415
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: wait a second, there aren't many games of winning record

416
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: teams facing one another. You got obviously the Niners and Eagles,

417
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: that's one, but the only other one is six and

418
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: five Texans six and five Broncos. So that's why the

419
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: game got moved to noon. So make sure you're in

420
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: your seats well before noon. They'll come rolling in at

421
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: two thirty going okay, I'm early, look, and then all

422
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's the fourth quarter. You're like, what happened?

423
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: The game got flexed to nuon, So make sure you're

424
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: paying attention and you get in there in time, on

425
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: time for a game that's gonna be seen by a

426
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: lot of people across the country as they a lot

427
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: of people might be seeing the Texas for the first time.

428
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: So hopefully the Texans show up, get it done, beat

429
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: the Broncos, get to seven and five and get ready

430
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: for a trip to New jay Z and face the Jets.

431
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: With or without Aaron Rodgers.

432
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: Okay, December one, which always makes me a little sad

433
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: because thirty four years to the day, my final game

434
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: against PNG, who's actually playing tonight at NRG Stadium, Port

435
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: deschis Grove, taken on Huntsville, a playoff game. I really

436
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: should be cheering for Huntsville, but I can't show any bias.

437
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: But PNG beat me in my last playoff game, my

438
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: last game in high school over at the Astronom, so

439
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm you know, almost looking right at it. It's just

440
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: like one hundred yards, like right over there where I

441
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: lost on this night thirty four years ago. Good grief.

442
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: Oh man, all right, let's not think about that. Let's

443
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: think about wins. Let's think about getting a win over

444
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. Let's think about the keys to getting

445
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: a win. So let's crank my music and let's talk

446
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: about the Broncos and how the Texans are gonna go

447
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: get a w against this group. Now, the Broncos are

448
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: six and five, as many of you know, they've won

449
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: their last five games. They beat the Packers by to

450
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs of the six mahomes. They beat the Bills

451
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: after missing a game winning field goal. Bills are twelve

452
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: guys in the field, they got to rekick it and

453
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: when the game Vikings had to come from behind and win.

454
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: That went twenty one to twenty. Perhaps the best performance

455
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: they had was against the Browns in beating them twenty

456
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: nine to twelve last week. Now they came to seventeen

457
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: twelve when the Browns try to reverse, they fumbled, the

458
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: Broncos got the ball, great territory troppling with a touchdown.

459
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: Then they got another touchdown in a safety and all

460
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden foro you know, it's twenty nine to twelve,

461
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: and they won five in a row, and they got

462
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: all the confidence in the world.

463
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 2: Now, let's talk about the offense.

464
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: One hundred and sixteen yards per game on the ground

465
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: as twelve to the NFL. Pretty good running game, and

466
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: they're going to run it no matter what it might

467
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: be one yard, two yard, three yard one two four

468
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: one two minus three minus two four. They're just gonna

469
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: keep running it. That's just what Sean Paige wants to

470
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: do with his team. Twelve the league passing yards, it's

471
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty five yards per game, twenty fifth

472
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: in the league. They're just at three hundred yards in

473
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: total offense at twenty third. They also have turned the

474
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: ball over fourteen times. We'll hang your hat on that

475
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: for just a second because I'm gonna give you a

476
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: number that's gonna blow your flipping mind in a little bit.

477
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: But we know the offense is left by Russell Wilson.

478
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: He's got some very athletic wide receivers and offensive line

479
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: that has been added to. They've had first rounders, they've

480
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: had money free agents, second third rounders, and they put

481
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: it together. It's a pretty nice offensive line, to be

482
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: honest with you. So let's get into the keys against

483
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: his Broncos offense. And it starts obviously with mister unimited

484
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,959
Speaker 1: and if you haven't seen the video, go check it out.

485
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Now, I'm not gonna sit here and tell

486
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: you that Russell is playing better ball than CJ. They's

487
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: playing better ball than you know, every quarterback in the league.

488
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: He's playing really good football. It's controlled, it's smart. He's

489
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: not taken ridiculous risks with the football. He's not scrambling

490
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: a ton if he scrambles. He's looking down the field,

491
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: trying to find a receiver down the field, but he

492
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: will put it in the end zone if you don't

493
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: take care of your defensive keys, Mija p's and ces.

494
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: He did that last week against the Browns. Pulled it

495
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: on his zone read, two yard touchdown, fourth and three run.

496
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: He pulled it down on a scramble, got a first down, fumbled,

497
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: but got a first down. Mister unlimited. Is really that

498
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: this year he's playing really solid football. He's got twenty

499
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: touchdowns and four interceptions. That's tremendous. Now he's not putting

500
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: up a ton of yards, budd, he is putting the

501
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: ball on the end zone. Especially lately. Now I read

502
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: you those scores, they haven't been scoring a.

503
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: Ton of points.

504
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: Packers nineteen, Chiefs twenty four, Pills twenty fourth, Vikings twenty one,

505
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: Browns twenty nine. They got two of that from a

506
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: safety and they got a couple others because they got

507
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: great field position off turnovers. And that's been a big

508
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: deal for them. Russell Wilson's making it pay off. They've

509
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: got to disrupt him. And as Mark said today, and

510
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: this is absolutely one hundred percent true, because I saw

511
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: the twenty thirteen game. I was up in the press box.

512
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: That was a game that Texans had dead to rights,

513
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: but it was within Russell Wilson's grasp, but he went

514
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: and stole it from them. And then twenty seventeen, I

515
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: watched that entire game of the sideline. It's one of

516
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: the greatest professional football games I've ever seen, but it

517
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: was not Russell proof. Russell then goes down, throws a touchdown,

518
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks win that twenty twenty one. It wasn't close,

519
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: and russ just did enough to get it done. Now,

520
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: is he going to deal with the Broncos? Probably so.

521
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: So you've got Russell proof this game. You have got

522
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: to be up big going into the fourth quarter, and

523
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: you've got to be putting a pounding on him throughout

524
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: the game to make sure that he is not picking

525
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: you apart or that he even thinks he has a

526
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: chance in the fourth quarter, because if he does, he

527
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: will and.

528
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 2: That's trouble all right.

529
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: Now, To protect Russell Wilson, Let's go to heat number two,

530
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: the Bowls School. Let's Garrett Bowles left tackle. When he

531
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: was drafted there, it was two, probably two and a

532
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: half three years of injury, holding issues, penalty problem, just

533
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: a lot of undisciplined stuff that a very athletically gifted

534
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: young man was trying to figure out.

535
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 2: Well he did.

536
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: He did figure it out, and now that offensive line

537
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: is one of the better ones in the NFL. Bulls

538
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: a left tackle that had been powers at guard, they

539
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: had look cushion barrier or the center that quin miners

540
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: at guard. They brought in Mike.

541
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: Mcglinchy this year.

542
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: That offensive line can get it done. And last week

543
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars, Texas pass rushers didn't get to Trevor

544
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: Lawrence Bowles is better than anybody the Jaguars have. The

545
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: Texas are going to have to find a way to

546
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: win against Garrett Bowles. Now, speed and power can hurt him,

547
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: and inside moves can hurt him. When he's gotten beat,

548
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: he just reaches out, grabs trips.

549
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 2: He can do some things.

550
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: He will not let Russell Wilson get hit, but he's

551
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: also drawn a lot of penalties that way. Garnard and

552
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: will Anderson. That's typically where Garnard rushes from is the

553
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: right side. He has got to go to work, has

554
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: to or it's going to be a long day against

555
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: Garrett Bowles an offensive line. Last in certainly not at

556
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: least in the offense is Courtland Sudden. This guy is

557
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: an incredible football player. Think Nico Collins in a Broncos jersey.

558
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: That's Courtland Sudden six four to two sixteen. Last year

559
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: up in Denver, he had seven catches for one hundred

560
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: and twenty two yards. He's fully healthy. Russell Wilson likes

561
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: throwing the ball up for him, letting him.

562
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: Go get it.

563
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: It's like he's the DK Metcalf for the Broncos. He

564
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: is a problem. Now, how did the Texans go about

565
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: covering him? That's going to be a major question. All right,

566
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: slip it over to this opportunistic Broncos defense. Now, the

567
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 1: numbers aren't great when I say him to you, one

568
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two, one hundred and fifty five yards

569
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: per game on a ground to give up this last

570
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL passing yards he give to thirty three

571
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: this twenty thirty NFL total offense three eighty eight. Now,

572
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: the difference is the last five games they're giving up

573
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty nine yards on the ground players,

574
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: they're giving up almost close to two hundred in the

575
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: first five games. So the running defense has gotten better.

576
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: But even at one hundred and thirty yards per game,

577
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: it's not great. So let's talk about it. Number one

578
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: shut down certain Patrick certain is one of the better

579
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: corners in this league, if not the best. He will

580
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: take one player out of the game. He will take

581
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: one side of the field completely away. The Texans have

582
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: to make sure they are smart and attacking Patrick.

583
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: Surtan.

584
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: Number two simply Simmons. Last year the Texans did not

585
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: face Justin Simmons. He is a ballhawk.

586
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 2: He finds it. He is smart.

587
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: Without Kareem Jackson back there, Simmons is gonna have to

588
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: pick up a little bit more slack. But at CJ

589
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: tests in the middle of the field. He's got to

590
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: be smart and know where Justin Simmons is at all times.

591
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: And last, it is certainly not least. I could come

592
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: up with a Z the adjective as I did for

593
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: Sirtan and Simmons. I just came up with scintillating Zach.

594
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: He's been fantastic. He get the sack for safety last

595
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: week against the Browns Indian zone that captain at twenty

596
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: nine twelve two hundred and eighty five pounder at six

597
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: y five, moves really well, very difficult to block, and

598
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 1: the run game slippery, athletic and strong. Zach Allen's going

599
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:51,479
Speaker 1: to be a problem with Texans.

600
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: Have to address that.

601
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: Get a couple of hats on him each and every

602
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: play and make sure that Allen doesn't wreck the game

603
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: from inside. But you don't normally expect, but that's where

604
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: Alan plays, and that's where Alan can be a major,

605
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: major issue. Texas handle that.

606
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 2: Oh way, you go?

607
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: All right, we get back. It's a little Drews dozen

608
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,240

Speaker 5: Growing up I was number thirty four because of him.

666
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 5: He was a power hitter. Once I went to the pages,

667
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 5: got to meet him, and you know, it was pretty much,

668
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 5: you know, a connection from there.

669
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 7: You said you're thirty four.

670
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 6: That's also fitting because your middle name is awesome and

671
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 6: it's Elijah wan Elija won obviously thirty four here in Houston,

672
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 6: So we love that too. Did you get a chance

673
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:48,840

680
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 7: that happen.

681
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 6: You need to meet the dream next time he's here. Okay,

682
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 6: what's the most just embarrassing thing that you've ever worn?

683
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 5: Three four halloweens ago? I was dressed up with Scooby

684
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 5: Doo with my kids.

685
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 7: So that's not embarrassing. You're being a dad. That's cool,

686
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 7: That's great. I like it. Scooby Doos fun.

687
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 6: What music would you want played every time you walked

688
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 6: into a room, kind of like entrance music walking into

689
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 6: a room.

690
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 7: What song would you want or what music would you want?

691
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 5: It would definitely be some form of hip hop specific song,

692
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 5: probably be Nipsey Hulsel Don't Take Days Off. I've listened

693
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 5: to that song every game day for since college.

694
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 7: So that's the one. Huh.

695
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 6: The animal that you'd most want as a pet, and

696
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 6: you knew it would never go crazy and just like

697
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 6: kill everything in this path, So any animal basically you

698
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 6: could choose to have as a pet a line that's

699
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 6: I think the common choice around here when I've asked

700
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 6: that question.

701
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 7: What was the best Christmas gift you ever got?

702
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 5: Crazy one one Christmas I got Shaquille O'Neil Jersey. That

703
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 5: was the when he was with the Heat, the throwback

704
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 5: where they had you know how they had the black,

705
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 5: the pink, the strip.

706
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I style.

707
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably one of my favorite be Cris present growing up.

708
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 6: He's one of the most dominant players of all time.

709
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 6: So what do you think is most impressive about him?

710
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 6: His basketball stuff or his business acumen and all he

711
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 6: said off the court.

712
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 5: I'll probably say his business side of it.

713
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 7: I mean, it's remarkable.

714
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 2: It is.

715
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 5: It is crazy because he had the physical tools to

716
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 5: you know, do the basketball stuff, but to have the

717
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 5: maybe even more success off the court. What was it

718
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 5: like when you met him? What y'all talk about just

719
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 5: growing up? How you know what I'm saying, How why

720
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 5: I was named after him and things like that. I mean,

721
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 5: and to this day, I mean, we still we still talk.

722
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 5: I'll probably talked to him maybe probably like twice a month.

723
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 5: You know, he really just you know what I'm saying,

724
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 5: chit chat, check in and see everything's going.

725
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 7: So that's awesome.

726
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 6: We got to get him out to a Texan Game'd

727
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 6: be fun to see him here. We do get him

728
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 6: and dream together because I know he's a big fan

729
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 6: of dreams. He's a big fan of Yao's too. My

730
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 6: most chill teammate is.

731
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 5: Who alt for sure?

732
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 7: Larry Tuttle. Yeah, how come he just even killed?

733
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 5: Never too high, too low, just never rattle up. But

734
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 5: you know, you see him walking in this, he moved gracefully,

735
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 5: you know, just a it's a chill dude.

736
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 7: Okay. The teammate who gets you the most amped.

737
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 5: Up is who probably Jimmy Ward?

738
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 7: Really? Yeah, how come?

739
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 5: Jimmy's a uh he's an electric guy, he is, and

740
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 5: he he brings a lot of energy each and every day.

741
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 5: So I'd probably say Jimmy probably gets me amped up

742
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 5: each and every day. And his lockers to two lockers down.

743
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 7: So how do you like that?

744
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 6: Have you?

745
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 7: Cause?

746
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 6: I imagine before you came here, you were like most

747
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 6: NFL locker rooms. It was like this before Demico got here,

748
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 6: where the offensive linemen were all together, the receivers were

749
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 6: all together, and so it was all by position group

750
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 6: and usually the defense was on one side the offense

751
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 6: was on the other there's a little pocket in the

752
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 6: middle with the special teamers.

753
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 7: How do you like that that mix up of I

754
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 7: like it.

755
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 5: I like it like it was when when it first happened,

756
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 5: I'm like, what are we doing? But but you know,

757
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 5: as the weeks grew and I'm like, I kind of

758
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 5: like this over, you know what I'm saying, Cause we

759
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 5: we see the position group all the time, you know,

760
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 5: so you around new people, you know, you get to

761
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 5: know each teammate differently. So I mean I like to

762
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 5: I like to set up now.

763
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I don't off the top of my head,

764
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 6: I don't know exactly who you're next to, but he's there.

765
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 6: I know, Tank Dell and Dalton Schultz are kind of

766
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 6: close by you too.

767
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,280

Speaker 7: Brown, Tank.

770
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 6: That's that's a lot of it's a lot of explosion

771
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 6: right there. Okay, if you could choose anybody else on offense,

772
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 6: doesn't have to be a sarily alignment. But anyway on offense,

773
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 6: and the defense calls and says, hey, we need this

774
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 6: guy to fill in at a position on defense for

775
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 6: a series. Who's going to fill in at any of

776
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 6: the spots. Who's the best suitor to play on the

777
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 6: defensive side of the wall? I say me, yeah, what

778
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 6: would you play?

779

Speaker 5: I play a D tackle?

780
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 7: Okay, would you mess with some guys?

781
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 5: I think I would. I mean, I'm high school. I

782
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 5: had eighteen sex for senior year. So I like to

783
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 5: tell Till the D line coach that all the time.

784
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 7: How hard was it to give the defense up?

785
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 5: When he moved on? It was? It was hard because

786
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 5: I mean I I thought I was gonna play defense

787
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 5: in college, but you know, once I got there, it

788
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 5: was the triple option offense. So we've done defensive listances,

789
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 5: so you know, the switch was pretty easy.

790
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 6: Okay, let's play make believe you are who you are

791
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 6: right now, same size, speed, height, strength. You get to

792
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 6: put on your current high school's uniform and go play

793
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 6: a game with them. What's the stat line going to be?

794
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 6: And you can pick the positions, don't have to be one.

795
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 6: Would you play both sides of the ball?

796
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 7: What are you playing? And what's the stat line going

797
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 7: to be?

798
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 5: I probably still play dtackle, but still be a different,

799
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 5: a lot a lot different these days I mean, however

800
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 5: long the game is, I think I have every TfL

801
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 5: sack because.

802
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 7: You just said eighteen sacks in the season. You can

803
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 7: get that in a game.

804
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 5: Get a game, all right?

805
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 7: Would you touch the ball? Would you be a ball

806
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 7: carrier on offense or would you be?

807
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 6: No?

808
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 7: You would you give up that chance to maybe tote

809
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 7: the rock?

810
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 8: And?

811
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 5: Uh, how you all let that go? Just because I

812
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 5: know even even high school kids, you know, I still

813
00:33:59,120 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 5: don't want to be tackling.

814
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 7: Okay, last thing, what's your favorite Christmas song of all time?

815
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 5: Probably Silent Night?

816
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 7: Silent Night?

817
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, can you give us a little bit la?

818
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 7: I had to try shack with shack, there's been a

819
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 7: drews dozen. Thanks so much for the time.

821
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: doubt about that whatsoever.

822
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 2: You listen.

823
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: When mom's talking and my wife is talking, I'm listening.

824
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: She doesn't think I do. She doesn't think I listened.

825
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 2: As much as I do, But I do. I listen, Babe,

826
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 2: I listen. There's no doubt about that.

827
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: All right, it's Go Behind any Sidelines with Drew Doherty,

828
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: and this week it's Phil Mulaney who covers the Broncos

829
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: from Broncos dot Com. We always see him at the combin.

830
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: Feels a great dude and has great stuff. Here we

831
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: go behind him sidelines with Phil Mlaney of Broncos dot Com.

832
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 6: Phil, whenever I talk about you with others, I just

833
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 6: kind of say, he basically does what I do.

834
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 7: But for the Broncos.

835
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 6: You know you can you can write, you can do TV,

836
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 6: you produce, you can do radio, you can do it all.

837
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 6: I mean, your podcast. What's your official title though, just

838
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 6: so we're all clear.

839
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 9: Like a reporter producer. I guess this would be my

840
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 9: official title. But yeah, I'm kind of like the Drew

841
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 9: of the Broncos, except I'm not quite as funny.

842
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, I'm the Fill of the Texans.

843
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 6: Let's just put it that way. You've been there, you've

844
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 6: been there a while. What's the What was the first

845
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 6: year you started?

846
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 9: Twenty thirteen, So two of my first three years the

847
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 9: Broncos went to the Super Bowl. I was like, it's easy,

848
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 9: how it is?

849
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 5: Every year?

850
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 9: Right, I can get access to this and so a

851
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 9: little bit of a Peyton Manning effect there.

852
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 7: Not bad, not bad.

853
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 6: Well, it's funny when I look at this matchup coming

854
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 6: up Sunday noon here at Energy Stadium. In a lot

855
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 6: of ways, it's like looking in the mirror. It's a

856
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 6: team with a new head coach. You've got quarterbacks who

857
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 6: are playing really, really well, have kind of similar statistics,

858
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 6: can elude the pocket, but still look downfield to throw

859
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 6: most of the time. They're both playing at a really,

860
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 6: really high level. You've got opportunistic defenses, pretty good on

861
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 6: the turnover ratio. I think you guys are I can't look,

862
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 6: but the Texans are top tennis I know for sure,

863
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 6: but you guys have peeled off five wins in a row.

864
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 6: Texans had a hiccup last week, but since Week three

865
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 6: they've been playing excellent football. There's a lot of similarities

866
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 6: in this matchup. Let's start with a quarterback, though, Russell Wilson.

867
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 6: This is not the Russell Wilson that the Texans saw

868
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 6: week two of the twenty twenty two season. Looks like

869
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 6: the old guy that was one of the tops in

870
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 6: the NFL.

871
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean this offseason he was really dedicated and

872
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 9: he came back like fifteen pounds lighter, and that's really

873
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 9: made a big difference. You know, you mentioned alluding to

874
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 9: pass rush. There he's getting away from guys that last

875
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 9: year it would have been a ten yard sack. You know,

876
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 9: last week, Miles Garrett, you know, leading the NFL, and

877
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 9: sacks is chasing him around and he can't quite on

878
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 9: one play, he can't quite get to Rust, and Rust

879
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 9: is heading downfield and taking off. So yeah, he looks

880
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 9: like vintage Russ. Really, he's making plays. He's leading fourth

881
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 9: quarter comebacks. You know, a lot of what Russ likes

882
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 9: to do is sort of that what they call that

883
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 9: second act where the first play, you know, the timing

884
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 9: is not right whatever, then he takes off. He's scrambling

885
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 9: all around and then boom, it's like a thirty yard

886
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 9: play downfield. So yeah, this is the Russ that the

887
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 9: Broncos thought that they were trading for.

888
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 6: You know, you and I touched on this as we're

889
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 6: getting ready and setting this whole interview up. But the

890
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 6: vibes in the building, I imagine are just night and day.

891
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 6: What you've been through over the last what seven years,

892
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 6: over the saying last five weeks versus the previous seven years.

893
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 7: Right totally.

894
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 9: I mean it's like I'm like, where what's this feeling?

895
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 7: Like?

896
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 9: I don't like I do like a postgame show for

897
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 9: the Broncos and I'm like, wait, how do you do

898
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 9: the wins again? You know, I'm taking a little bit

899
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 9: of time to adjust to this, but you can certainly

900
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 9: feel it in this locker room. There's a lot of confidence.

901
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 9: You know, everybody's in a good mood. And yeah, I

902
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 9: mean I think that if you're not really a Broncos

903
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 9: fan or paying attention, maybe the only thing that you

904
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 9: know about this team is that they give up seventy

905
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 9: points to the Dolphins at the beginning of this year,

906
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 9: you know, and since that point, though, this team has

907
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 9: really changed things around. During this five game winning streak,

908
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,919
Speaker 9: They've beaten some really good teams. You know, they beat

909
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 9: the Chiefs, they beat the Bills, they beat the Vikings,

910
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 9: and then last week they beat the Browns. So it's

911
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 9: not like they're just beaten and you know, a lot

912
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 9: a bunch of teams with losing records. I mean, they're

913
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 9: getting it done against some of the top teams in

914
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 9: the NFL, and there's a lot of confidence that comes

915
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 9: with doing that. And I think right now it really

916
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 9: feels like the Broncos have turned a page, turned the corner.

917
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, you bring up that seventy point game, that's really

918
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 6: if you look at the totality, that's you. That's an

919
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 6: outlier now, and you take that game out and you

920
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 6: take about then if you're on the other end, you

921
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 6: take out the game in which the Broncos only allowed

922
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 6: nine points, you use those, you average the rest of those.

923
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 6: They're only giving up around twenty one to twenty two

924
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 6: per I know it's officially if the whole season they're

925
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 6: at twenty five, but you take out those two, it's

926
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 6: a pretty solid defense. It's really good at getting takeaways.

927
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 6: What is the strength in your mind of what they're

928
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 6: doing defensively. That's kind of caused some of the success

929
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 6: of the last five well.

930
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 9: I think at the beginning of the season they had

931
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 9: a couple of veteran pass rushers that were in the building,

932
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 9: Randy Gregory Frank Clark, and they decided that they were

933
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 9: going to move on from both of those guys and

934
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 9: let the younger pass rushers give them some confidence, give

935
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 9: them some more snaps out there, and it's really paid

936
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 9: off because young guys like Baron Browning, Jonathan Cooper, Nick

937
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 9: Benito off the edge. They've really come to life here

938
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 9: over this five game winning streak, and they've done a

939
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,959
Speaker 9: great job getting pressure on the quarterback and that's led

940
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 9: to some of these turnovers. And they've had fifteen over

941
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 9: the last four games here, so that's like the most

942
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 9: turnovers they forced in three games in four game stretch

943
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 9: since nineteen nine. So they've really been taking it away.

944
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 9: Some of it has been lucky, but some of it's

945
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 9: been like the mindset, like they're just like ripping at balls.

946
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 9: They're playing really aggressive football. And definitely, I think those

947
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 9: outside linebackers, those pass rushers, they've really been the difference here.

948
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 9: Of course, the stars on the defense are Patzertan and

949
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 9: Justin Simmons in the secondary, but really the difference from

950
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 9: the beginning of the year to right now, I think

951
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 9: it's been that that outside pass rush.

952
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, you brought up Simmons. I mean, how how valuable

953
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 6: is that guy having him at the back end.

954
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, he didn't play in that Miami game when they

955
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 9: gave up seventy points. He was injured in that one,

956
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 9: and you know when he comes back, you know, he's

957
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 9: just sort of that leader. He gets everybody on the

958
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 9: same page when he does his press conferences. He probably

959
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 9: says the word communication like fifteen times, you know, and

960
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 9: you kind of roll your eyes, you know, every time

961
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 9: he says it, because it's kind of a joke now,

962
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 9: but it is a big deal where he's the guy

963
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 9: who you feel confident with him back there, and he's

964
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 9: sort of that center fielder type of safety where he's

965
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 9: a ballhawk. He's just reading the quarterback's eyes. And you know,

966
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 9: he's been getting interceptions, you know, the last couple of

967
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 9: years here at a really a high rate.

968
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 6: All right, we're pingponging around here. Let's go back to

969
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 6: the offensive side. Some of the pass catchers that are

970
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 6: doing good things for Russell Wilson. You know, I'm an

971
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 6: SMU Mustang. So Courtland Sutton, I'm a big fan. He's

972
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 6: he's looking like the Courtland Sutton that we knew and

973
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 6: you know, knew it all at last. Yeah, what's going

974
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 6: on there?

975
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,919
Speaker 9: Well, he tours ACLA in twenty twenty, and the last

976
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 9: couple of years it's taken him some time to get

977
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 9: that explosiveness back and then also sort of just trusting

978
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 9: his body too, you know, the mental aspect of coming

979
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 9: back from that injury. And I don't know what's gotten

980
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 9: into him here, but he's turned into a touchdown machine.

981
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 9: I'm I'm not sure if it's like a Sean Payton

982
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 9: type of thing where he just has this confidence about

983
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 9: him now. But he's making a lot of contested catches.

984
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 9: He's never been that guy who's been like a super

985
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:15,280
Speaker 9: impressive route runner or a guy who's like wide open often,

986
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 9: but he's that bigger body type of guy that high

987
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 9: points the ball, wins a lot of jump balls, makes

988
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 9: a lot of contested catches, and he's developed this chemistry

989
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 9: with Russell Wilson where hey, if it's a big third

990
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 9: down or they're in the red zone, that's his go

991
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 9: to guy. That's the guy that he trusts is gonna

992
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 9: come down with the ball. And I think it's led

993
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 9: to eight touchdowns this season. So he's really been a

994
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 9: different kind of player than the Broncos have seen the

995
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 9: last three years. What are you seeing from the run

996
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 9: game there? Oh, that's Rehally. It really all starts for

997
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 9: this offense. This last offseason. They went out and got

998
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 9: Mike McGlinchey, Ben Powers. They really reinforced that offensive line

999
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 9: and right now they're really healthy and they've been able

1000
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 9: to play a lot of football to all five of

1001
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 9: them together, and that's like really a cohesive unit and

1002
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 9: it's really led to a strong running game here. Javonte Williams,

1003
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 9: he tore his ACL last year, but it didn't take

1004
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 9: him that long to come back. I mean, he didn't

1005
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 9: miss a game this year and really hit the ground running.

1006
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 9: He's the sort of that combo back where he's got

1007
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 9: some speed, but he's got that power too. So it

1008
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 9: really starts with the Broncos trying to establish the running

1009
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 9: game with Javonte Williams, and then they have Sama JP

1010
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 9: Ryan that they brought in this last offseason. He's a bruiser.

1011
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,959
Speaker 9: I mean, I've not met a running back who looks

1012
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 9: the way he does. You know, he's just a huge guy.

1013
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 9: There's like this story about him and when he was

1014
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 9: at Alklahoma where this woman was trying to change her

1015
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 9: tire but she didn't have a jack and so he

1016
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 9: just came over and like lifted the car up and

1017
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 9: she So, like anytime anything Samajay he does that, that

1018
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 9: story tends to pop up. So and then they have

1019
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 9: this undrafted running back Julil McLoughlin, who's sort of that

1020
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 9: speedy kind of guy, and he's a change of pace

1021
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 9: back that the last couple of weeks they haven't featured

1022
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 9: him as much just because they've been playing some really

1023
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 9: bruising defenses. But when he gets open in space, he's

1024
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 9: got the ability to really take it to the house.

1025
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 6: So overall, what would you say the Sean Payton effect

1026
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 6: has been on this team confidence?

1027
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 9: I really think that, Like I don't know what happened,

1028
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 9: I don't know how they started to believe, but like

1029
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 9: there was just such a change in the way that

1030
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 9: this team carries itself. I really think they've adopted his

1031
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 9: personality like more than anything. And you know, this training

1032
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 9: camp that they went through is much more difficult than

1033
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 9: they have gone through in the last couple of years

1034
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 9: around here. Really sort of set the tone set of

1035
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 9: me that, hey, we're gonna work, we're gonna roll up

1036
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 9: our sleeves here, we're gonna get after it. And I

1037
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 9: think it took a little bit of time at the

1038
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 9: start of this season for everybody to buy in. But

1039
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 9: once they started winning some of these games, once they

1040
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 9: started seeing their hard work pay off, now they're like

1041
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 9: all in and they've got this confidence and they play

1042
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 9: a really a physical style of football, and I think

1043
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 9: that that comes from Sean to the defense. You know,

1044
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 9: we mentioned the turnovers. They're just like a confident bunch

1045
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 9: right now. And I think anytime you win five games

1046
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 9: in a row, you sort of feel like that. And

1047
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 9: it's been a good role for this team. And you know,

1048
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 9: like we mentioned off the top here, these are two

1049
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 9: teams in very similar situations here where playing with a

1050
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 9: lot of confidence, and you know they're right neck and

1051
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 9: neck there for fighting for that wild card spot.

1052
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is a game I don't think many people externally,

1053
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 6: maybe even internally had circled once the schedule came out,

1054
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 6: But here we are. It's gonna be December. Texans and Broncos.

1055
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 6: Are you know one of them? Both of them could

1056
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 6: be in the playoffs. It's not out of the realm

1057
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 6: of possibility. This is a massive game.

1058
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 7: Phil.

1059
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 9: It's so much fun seeing CJ. Stroud and what he's

1060
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 9: been able to do for you guys. I mean, it's

1061
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 9: it's really been amazing to see just what he's second

1062
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 9: in the league in passing yards just five interceptions I

1063
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 9: think this season. So I mean for a rookie to

1064
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 9: come in there, I mean It's been a lot of

1065
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 9: fun to watch, you know, externally here. You know, I

1066
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 9: like seeing the young guys do well around the league,

1067
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,800
Speaker 9: and just same with the Broncas. There's a complete culture

1068
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 9: change and everything with the Texans. It should be an

1069
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 9: exciting game. And you mentioned the seven years here with

1070
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 9: the Broncos, a lot of losing. Just to be talking

1071
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 9: about a meaningful matchup in December, that's exciting.

1072
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 5: For us here.

1073
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 6: That used to be every single year for you guys,

1074
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 6: I mean going back to the seventies. So yeah, it's

1075
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 6: good to see winning football again there in Denver and

1076
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 6: here in Houston. Phil, I always enjoy talking with you.

1077
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 6: I look forward to seeing you this and then again

1078
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 6: in February at the Combine for a much longer sit

1079
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 6: down like we always have there in the media center.

1080
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,720
Speaker 6: But it's good to see my friend, and I appreciate

1081
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 6: you taking some time out for me.

1082
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 9: Thanks for having me. Andre always appreciate catching up.

1083
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 1: Good dude. Gonna see him on Sunday film Alania Broncos

1084
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: dot Com. I did a podcast with Sidney Jones, who

1085
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: also is part of the Great Broncos team. Their dever

1086
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: Broncos dot Com, So make sure you check out their stuff,

1087
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: especially if you're a Broncos fan, if you're just listening

1088
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: to see what they got to say about the Broncos, Well,

1089
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,799
Speaker 1: here you go. Good stuff. All right, that's one our down.

1090
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: We got one hour left to go. When we get back,

1091
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a little in the lab with Drew

1092
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: Doherty and myself and we'll get a little bit more

1093
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: knowledge about the Broncos. As we let Drew go behind

1094
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: enemy sidelines again. He kept wanting to do it. I said, Man,

1095
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1096
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:48,879
Speaker 2: Is it too much?

1097
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 5: No?

1098
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: Never too much? When Drew Dorty is on the task.

1099
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: That's next on Texans All Access. What's happening to good people?

1100
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: Texans fans everywhere appreciate you listening to Texans All Access

1101
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: on a TGIF. Addition, first day in December when games

1102
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: are to remember we got one on Sunday against the Broncos.

1103
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: Remember noon kick game flex from three h five up

1104
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: to noon so the nation could see the Texans.

1105
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 2: That literally is the reason.

1106
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 1: I'm not making that up. That was what the broadcast crew,

1107
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: Mike North and his team, my man Blake Jones, they

1108
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: all decided that was the flex move to make. Now

1109
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: They also flex the Monday night game, which is the

1110
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: first time they've ever done that. They took the Patriots

1111
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,240
Speaker 1: and Chiefs off.

1112
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 2: A Monday night game.

1113
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: And as Albert Brees said, how bad do you have

1114
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 1: to be for the TV networks to flex out a

1115
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes primetime game. It tells you where the Patriots

1116
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,839
Speaker 1: are right now. So Eagles and Seahawks, I think are

1117
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: jumping into that spot on Monday Night Week fifteen. But

1118
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: we got more pressing concerns and that's what happens Sunday.

1119
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: So let's talk about Drew Doherty do a little in

1120
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: the lab to kick off the segment.

1121
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 6: Darn it, John, Texans are coming off a loss, first

1122
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 6: time since October thirtieth. That was a Monday morning. Yesterday

1123
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 6: was a Monday morning that we woke up after Texans loss.

1124
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 7: That's ty Cotton.

1125
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 6: If you think about it, what's been going on around

1126
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 6: here the last four or five years.

1127
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you think about it, this is kind of

1128
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: my just reaction to hearing that news, Like I mean,

1129
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 1: you know, watching the game live, going back and rewatching it,

1130
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, the all twenty two all that kind of stuff.

1131
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: It just was frustrating because I felt like there were

1132
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: a lot of there were missed opportunities. I know there

1133
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 1: was a lot of talk after the game about officiating

1134
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: and all that, and I have said this often and

1135
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: I will say it till the day I die. The

1136
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,919
Speaker 1: officiating never cost a team of a game.

1137
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 2: Never.

1138
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's the last play, I don't

1139
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: care it's first play. It doesn't matter. There are one

1140
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty plays in an NFL game, roughly maybe

1141
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: a little less, but a bit about that. You can

1142
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: overcome a bad call here, a bad call there.

1143
00:49:58,239 --> 00:49:58,399
Speaker 7: Now.

1144
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: I will not sit here and tell you that officiating

1145
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: was great. But the Texans, they were kind of their

1146
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: own worst enemy. I do think the Jaguars played well

1147
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: enough to win. I don't know if I would say, oh, yeah,

1148
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: the Jags were definitely the better team. They executed a

1149
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: few things a little bit better, and it got off

1150
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: to a better start in the game than the Texans did.

1151
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: But I don't feel like, oh yeah, the Jags are

1152
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: so much better. They're the best team in the AFC said,

1153
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: I don't get that. I don't get that vibe at all.

1154
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: I think there's a happy media to be found between

1155
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: these two games. I do think they're very close. But

1156
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: I still feel like the Texans, in really their C

1157
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: minus game, were that close to going overtime. Yeah, potentially,

1158
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: unless Trevor Lawrence was gonna do some kind of miracle

1159
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: stuff at the end, which he had to tide them out.

1160
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: I think, you know, you get the overtime, anything happens,

1161
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: but you know they're that close to taking over time

1162
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: playing their C minus game. And I think that should

1163
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: tell you something against the eight and three football team.

1164
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 6: And John, what if I told you, what if I

1165
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 6: told you, oh, here we go.

1166
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 7: What if I told you on.

1167
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 6: Sunday morning, say eleven o'clock, came up to you, put

1168
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 6: my arm around you, and said, hey, pal, good to

1169
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 6: see you. Texans today are going to win the turnover battle.

1170
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 6: Texans today are not even going to turn the ball

1171
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,720
Speaker 6: over at all. They're gonna win the turnover battle.

1172
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 1: CJ.

1173
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 6: Stroud check it out. He's gonna throw two touchdowns, he's

1174
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,719
Speaker 6: going to run for another. He's going to finish with

1175
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 6: a passer rating of one sixteen and based on what

1176
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 6: you'd seen from him recently, no turnovers that high a

1177
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 6: passer rating. You win the turnover battle. What if I

1178
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 6: told you those things on Sunday morning.

1179
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 1: What if I told you, yeah, I would have felt

1180
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: really good about the Texans opportunity to go win a game,

1181
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: especially CJ finishing the game against the Cardinals with the

1182
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: three interceptions. I would have thought, Okay, he's back on track.

1183
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. What I didn't like on

1184
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: Sunday was that there were too many, too many moments

1185
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 1: of CJ having to escape early pressure and then make

1186
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,240
Speaker 1: something happen. And and look, that's gonna happen in the NFL.

1187
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: It happens for every quarterback. Mahomes does it all the time.

1188
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 1: Josh Allen does it all the time. Joe Burrow has

1189
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: to do it all the time. I mean Burrow did

1190
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: it against us. You know, the sixty four yard er

1191
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, he's almost sacked, should have been sacked, He

1192
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: gets out of it, fires a dime, Chase goes in

1193
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,240
Speaker 1: the end zone, and the whole game changes at that point.

1194
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: So it happens. It just happened a little bit too much.

1195
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: Here's the flip side of that, and and this is

1196
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: why this is kind of a weird game.

1197
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 6: Group is the flip side is he looked really, really

1198
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 6: good doing it.

1199
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 2: Well, yeah he did.

1200
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 6: Gracious, he was limited.

1201
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 1: Field A lot of ye to say, A lot of

1202
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: people want to say, well, the offensive line just broke down.

1203
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: And look, I'm not going to sit here and tell

1204
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: you it was the best offensive line game I've ever seen.

1205
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: But the offensive line, there were there were sometimes where

1206
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 1: CJ Would move or slide up in a pocket because

1207
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 1: eventually a rusher would just try something and go high

1208
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 1: side and he'd slide underneath it. Like, to me, that's

1209
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: that's not that's not pressure. He's just going to an

1210
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 1: open spot where he can throw. But there was too

1211
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 1: much pressure. So I don't ultimately think the offensive line was,

1212
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, horrible, terrible. I thought you just did some

1213
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: good things when he went in left guard, when Titus

1214
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 1: went down in the in the second half. There were breakdowns,

1215
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: there were there. You know, Josh Josh Allen had two

1216
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 1: and a half sacks, and everybody's you know, putting him

1217
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: up on this pedestal of how great he was. And

1218
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was very very good. His rushes were excellent,

1219
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: I'll give you that, But two of his sacks were gimmes.

1220
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: One of his sacks came when he was a free

1221
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: rusher and CJ tried to beat him around the side

1222
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: and couldn't, and then the other one came on a

1223
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: screen that was you know, was just broken up from

1224
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: the beginning, and Alan gets a sack because Laramie is

1225
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: expecting it to be a screen so he can eventually

1226
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: release and go downfield, so he lets Alan go. Alan

1227
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,479
Speaker 1: gets a sack because you know, CJ couldn't find Devin

1228
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: on the screen. So it was just kind of a weird,

1229
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: weird day. Drew. To your point, CJ threw for a

1230
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: lot of yards, but we've seen him have better games.

1231
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: I felt like with you know, the pressures the quarterback

1232
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 1: hits in the sacks, I think you're four sacks and

1233
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 1: you'd think, oh oh, I was bad. I didn't think

1234
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 1: the old line was was terrible. Now, run game not good.

1235
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 2: Run game was not good. That was not good.

1236
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,720
Speaker 6: Okay, so let's fast forward to this week. Russell Wilson

1237
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 6: looks like the old Russell Wilson. Twenty touchdowns, four picks,

1238
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 6: passer rating over one hundred. He looks good. They won

1239
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 6: five in a row. This a good team, this a

1240
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 6: beatable team. But this doesn't look like the guy we saw.

1241
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 6: We two last year when they were they didn't know

1242
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 6: what they had, the home crowd in Denver chanting the

1243
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 6: play clock when he got under ten seconds. I remember

1244
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,439
Speaker 6: coming down from the press box late in that game

1245
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 6: and I get out of the elevators and they're pre there.

1246
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 6: It's back like you can't really, you don't just get out,

1247
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 6: and you're like you have to wind your way in.

1248
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 6: And I remember hearing the crowd chanting the play clock, thinking,

1249
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 6: why would they be doing that, because they're only going

1250
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 6: to give the Texans the idea or if Texans the memory,

1251
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 6: or remind the Texans at the play clock. Oh my gosh,

1252
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 6: they're doing it for their own and they're doing it sarcastically.

1253
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 6: I was stunned by that. Russell Wilson looks good. So

1254
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 6: with all that in mind, on Monday morning, who are

1255
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 6: you going to say, is the Texans Cream of the

1256
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 6: Crop award winner? If the Texan's going to win this

1257
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:23,760
Speaker 6: game the cream of the crop.

1258
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: Well, we're recordings on Tuesday, of course, so well, you know,

1259
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: there might be some guys that pop up on the

1260
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: injury report, so I just want to be you know,

1261
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: you just never know who's gona pop up on the.

1262
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 2: Injury report, right.

1263
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: But to me, it's two players. It's John Grenard and

1264
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: it's Will Anderson Junior. It's those two that have got

1265
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: to be cream of the croppers. Look, Garet Bowles has

1266
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: done a really nice Jeff, He's gotten better and better

1267
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 1: gar Bowls, to me, is the epitome of you don't

1268
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 1: give up on a guy just because the fans all

1269
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:54,919
Speaker 1: want you to give up on him after a couple

1270
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: of years, because that guy's turned into a really, really

1271
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 1: good offensive tackle. And I feel like the bronckt the

1272
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 1: Broncos alred the epitome of that this year. But Will

1273
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 1: Anderson Junior and John Grenard, I thought, strung together some

1274
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: good rushes. But Trevor Lawrence in that scheme for the

1275
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:17,959
Speaker 1: the Jaguars is one two three throw shotgun cat catch throw,

1276
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: and they won with some rushes and they just they

1277
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: got there and the ball's already gone because that's the

1278
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,359
Speaker 1: way that offense is designed. Now the Broncos offense isn't

1279
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: quite that way, and Russell has been known to hold

1280
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit. So if their rushes are good,

1281
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 1: they've got to get back to Russell. But they got

1282
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: to finish him. We've seen Russell. You know, look, he's

1283
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 1: not the twenty thirteen Russell Wilson, but he is Russell

1284
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 1: Wilson still, and he's smarter and he can do some

1285
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:53,280
Speaker 1: things that you know, maybe he couldn't even do it before.

1286
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 1: But Sean Payton has now given him that trust, He's

1287
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: given him that opportunity. And so I think John Grenard

1288
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 1: and Will Anderson Junior have got to do a great job.

1289
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: And now I bring up the injury report because you

1290
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: just I mean, Will has been on the injury report,

1291
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: but he's played, you know, John Grenard, I don't think

1292
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:10,800
Speaker 1: it's showed up on an injury report, but you just

1293
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:12,320
Speaker 1: never know. But those are to be the two that

1294
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: I would go with as my creamy the Croppers against

1295
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: the Broncos.

1296
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 7: What do you say the crop I think it's gonna be.

1297
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 6: I think it's there's gonna be Adult and Schultz day,

1298
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 6: just based off of the spinning of the wheel, because

1299
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 6: I think I think we're at the point now where

1300
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 6: Nico Collins and Tank Dell, no matter what, we're gonna

1301
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 6: have between them five big catches minimum per game. So

1302
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be someone else as well. Stepping

1303
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 6: up and we've seen Schultz do this before, we've seen him.

1304
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 6: Does he have five touchdowns since like this the wind

1305
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 6: streak started. So I kind of think I kind of

1306
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 6: thk it's gonna be adult Schultz type of day.

1307
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 7: I just I don't know.

1308
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 6: I just I kind of it's either that and or

1309
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 6: the combo of Singletary and Damian Pierce. Because Texans didn't

1310
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 6: face very good run defenses in the two games leading

1311
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 6: up to the Jacksonville game, and Jacksonville has a great

1312
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 6: run defense, and I kind of think they were able

1313
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 6: to flourish. I kind of think Singletary was able to

1314
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 6: flourish against the Bengals and then the next week get

1315
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 6: that one hundred yard game because those run defenses on

1316
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 6: paper had struggled, they'd really had their troubles bottling guys up.

1317
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 6: You can run on the Broncos. And if you can

1318
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 6: do that, because we know the explosiveness is always going

1319
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 6: to be there in the passing game, I think that

1320
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 6: that sets up nicely for it. I think the Texans

1321
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 6: can do and that's I think the Texans can certainly

1322
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 6: win this game. I mean, they've beaten better teams. They

1323
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 6: had a hiccup last weekend, but hey, you hit a

1324
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 6: pass to Tank Dell early go on the one that

1325
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:46,479
Speaker 6: the phantom I legal shift was called.

1326
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 7: And I'm with you.

1327
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 6: You know, you can't blame the refs. They didn't help,

1328
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 6: they weren't good, but you didn't lose because the rest.

1329
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 6: He just didn't play a great game. And that being said,

1330
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 6: that's what's encouraged me the most is they did not

1331
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 6: play a great game. And like you said, a few

1332
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 6: more inches they're going to overtime, you know, a few

1333
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 6: more inches that that thing sneaks over the crossbar and

1334
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 6: they're going in overtime. And I like my chances with

1335
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 6: the Texans there and overtime. So I think it's a

1336
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 6: Dulton and or running Backs cream of the crop type

1337
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 6: of day.

1338
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: And I think also with it, that's a good choice, Drew,

1339
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 1: because I think one of the other things too. I mean,

1340
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: I think the Broncos have gotten some pressure from some

1341
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: young guys out in the edge. I don't think they're

1342
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: the most dynamic pass rushing team in the league, but

1343
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: they're they're good and Zach Allen is going to be

1344
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: a problem, there's no doubt about that. The takeaways I

1345
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 1: think one of the things that can really help, especially

1346
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: if the run game isn't quite all that is get

1347
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: the ball to your running backs. They're a number There

1348
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 1: are a number of times, there was a handful of

1349
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 1: times in which the running backs are kind of floating out.

1350
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 1: Why just you want to check down route like, Hey,

1351
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm over here on the sideline. You can throw it

1352
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: to me and there's nobody over here. And I think

1353
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: you can have a few more of those. That just

1354
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: takes the pressure off of CJ of you know, check check, check, nothing.

1355
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: All right, you guys take it. I don't want to

1356
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 1: keep taking these hits. You guys take it, And all

1357
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, now you've got Damian Pearson Devin Singletary

1358
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: of the ball of space.

1359
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 2: You don't have to just.

1360
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: Throw screens to them, you o. Their checkdowns are okay,

1361
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: and checkdowns to them are are good. It's one thing

1362
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 1: you and I have been talking about is getting the

1363
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 1: running backs a little bit more involved in the past game.

1364
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 1: And maybe that's another layer of the onion to pull back,

1365
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: is that they can be more involved in the past

1366
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: game to give them another I don't know, six to

1367
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: eight touches between them in the passing game as opposed

1368
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: to just pounding their head up against the brick wall

1369
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: like they were last weekending as Jacksonville all Right.

1370
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 6: Twitter question of the day. With Andre Johnson being named

1371
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 6: a Pro Football Hall of Fame semi finalist, your favorite

1372
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 6: Andre Johnson play of all time was.

1373
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: I still think it's the Washington game at twenty ten. Yep.

1374
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean that was such a trudge uphill because of

1375
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: how bad that game started. But I've always loved talking

1376
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 1: to Andre about that play because he's it's a matter

1377
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: of fact about it, and I always love talking to

1378
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 1: about it because he's just you know how he you know.

1379
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 2: How he speaks.

1380
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just well, that guy was in the

1381
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: way and I had to go up and get the ball,

1382
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: and that was it.

1383
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it really was.

1384
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: But there's a lot, there's a lot that went into

1385
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 1: that play when you, you know, break it down, which

1386
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: I think you and I did that on a film

1387
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 1: room a long long time ago. We did, And there

1388
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 1: was so much to that play that kind of showed

1389
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: the greatness of Andre Johnson, you know, just the smarts,

1390
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: the route running and then the athleticism at the end

1391
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: to finish in a big, massive, huge spot and that

1392
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: Texas get that win. So to me, twenty ten against

1393
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: Washington is always one of my faves.

1394
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 7: Great choice, I love it.

1395
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 6: Mine is a touchdown two thousand and nine at the

1396
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 6: at the Arizona Cardinals. I was up in that press box.

1397
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 6: It's up in a corner and it was in the

1398
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 6: opposite corner of where that touchdown happened.

1399
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 7: And I don't know what it was.

1400
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 6: I think it was a reflect in the glass or something.

1401
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 6: But when that one defender bounced off of him and

1402
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 6: laying on his back simultaneously, when that happened, there was

1403
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 6: like a light shooting straight up from out of that guy,

1404
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 6: like a blue flash. I'm not joking really, and you've

1405
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 6: never heard that, I joke. I was like, that's uh,

1406
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 6: that must have been his soul leaving his body. But

1407
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 6: it was just it all kind of happened, and I

1408
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 6: was like, holy moly. Yeah, but yeah, that's my favorite one.

1409
01:02:30,200 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 6: It's there's so many you could choose from The walk

1410
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 6: off against Jacksonville is a big one.

1411
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1412
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 1: Heeremiah Bell two thousand and eight Miami is a massive one.

1413
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 9: Man.

1414
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love telling that story. That was that was

1415
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: the hurricane Ike Hear and then Texans were they were

1416
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 1: to start the year. And I'm watching that game up

1417
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: in the prist box and you know, I got the

1418
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: I got the haul past for that day to go

1419
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 1: do my job, and so I'm you know, it's getting late.

1420
01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 1: It's just frustrating. I'm like a man. So I actually

1421
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 1: had stopped to talk to somebody and I look up

1422
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 1: and it's a fourth down play. I'm like, all right, well,

1423
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 1: I'll watch this fourth down play and then I'll I'll

1424
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 1: get out of here. And Andre goes up over year

1425
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 1: Amia Bell steals the ball away from him, and I

1426
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 1: was like, okay, this is now interesting. I need to

1427
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 1: stay and watch the end of this. And thankfully I

1428
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: did because Matt Schopp took it in. Texans got to win.

1429
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 1: You felt the good leaving the building that day, like,

1430
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 1: oh man, that year Amia Bell catch over a year?

1431
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: Am I oh you do say? Oh yeah, year Amia Beell.

1432
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: Everybody remembers that catch in two thousand and eight against

1433
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 1: tall If that was awesome?

1434
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 2: Love it.

1435
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 7: I always love talking with you.

1436
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 6: Can't wait to see the Texans get back at it

1437
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 6: against the Denver bron because it's a big game. It's

1438
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 6: fun to be playing big games this late in the season.

1439
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 6: It's gonna be December. John and the Texans are squarely

1440
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 6: in the playoff hunt. I think they're going to be

1441
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 6: in the playoffs, and I love it. Football is so

1442
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 6: much fun again around here, and I love talking about

1443
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 6: fun football with you.

1444
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 2: Man.

1445
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 1: Appreciate that, brother. Yes, it's always fun with Drew Doherty

1446
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 1: in the lab. I mean, we did three years of

1447
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 1: four win, four win, three win football. You're trying to

1448
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: find things to put together, and in the lab we

1449
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 1: still did it. And now we're experiencing some wins and

1450
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 1: some highs and that's good. So hopefully Sunday will be

1451
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 1: a high for us. But can that happen? How good

1452
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: are these Broncos. Let's let True go behind enemy sidelines

1453
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: with Patrick Keyoti from the Believed Network.

1454
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 6: Now good to be with Patrick Keyote. He knows the

1455
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 6: Denver Broncos inside out. You can hear him on the

1456
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 6: Believe Network of podcasts. Patrick, good to be with you.

1457
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 6: This is a big matchup. This is a refreshingly big matchup.

1458
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 6: When you rewind and go all the way back to

1459
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 6: Week two of twenty twenty two, when these two teams

1460
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 6: met each other there in Denver. Both have great quarterback play.

1461
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 6: They both got new head coaches who each franchise was

1462
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,640
Speaker 6: very interested in the other. I think each franchise is

1463
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 6: happy that they got the guy they got and there

1464
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:53,919
Speaker 6: are some great things brewing. How refreshing is it after

1465
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 6: you know, what's been a down time for the Denver

1466
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 6: Broncos franchise the last seven years. How refreshing is it

1467
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 6: to be playing meaning football in December.

1468
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 11: It's incredibly refreshing. I mean, this is a team that

1469
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 11: you know a lot of players have been struggling because

1470
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 11: their whole career in Denver, all they've experienced is losing, essentially,

1471
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 11: you know, so many years of losing, where this organization

1472
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 11: is so used to the opposite.

1473
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:21,439
Speaker 1: It was really nice.

1474
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 11: You know, everybody was really excited last year when we

1475
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 11: hired Nathaniel Hackett, and everybody was excited about the Russ trade.

1476
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 2: And it just felt like a massive letdown last year.

1477
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 11: And I know that Houston's been going through a very

1478
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 11: similar thing, a lot of off the field stuff and

1479
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 11: then you know all the coaching turnover. This is so

1480
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 11: nice to be playing meaningful football in December. So refreshing

1481
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 11: for the Denver Broncos organization with Sean Payton actually establishing

1482
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 11: a culture, establishing that winning mentality in the locker room.

1483
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 11: And honestly, you know what, for all the talk about

1484
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 11: the Broncos, it is nice to see the Houston Texans

1485
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 11: enjoying some success. Jamiko Ryans was a coach that I

1486
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 11: was extremely interested in. I thought that he would have

1487
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 11: been a great candidate for the Denver Broncos. I know

1488
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 11: that they were interested in him as well. Both franchises

1489
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 11: ended up with the guy that they're supposed to have

1490
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 11: in the end, and we're seeing the result of that.

1491
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 11: Both coaches coaching winning football, both quarterbacks playing very well.

1492
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 11: You'd love to see it and good for both of

1493
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 11: these organizations.

1494
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 6: Patrick Chyoti is the host of Let's Ride on the

1495
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 6: Believe Network with former Broncos corner Chris Harris Junior. I

1496
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 6: bet that's a lot of fun that podcast with that guy.

1497
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,919
Speaker 6: Let's focus on Russell Wilson. I host a TV show

1498
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 6: here in town. We shot this week's version yesterday and

1499
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 6: the question I posed to two of the guests was,

1500
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,680
Speaker 6: Russell Wilson, is he all the way back or dot

1501
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:52,919
Speaker 6: dot dot nah?

1502
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 11: So you know that is the main question right it

1503
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 11: is Russ Back. Is he you know, is he let

1504
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 11: Russ Cook? You know, Russell Wilson? Is he Seattle Russell Wilson?

1505
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 2: And I don't think so.

1506
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 11: I don't think that it's quite the same.

1507
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 2: And you know what, that's okay.

1508
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 11: I don't think that we necessarily need to have that

1509
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 11: version of Russell Wilson back. I think that right now

1510
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 11: he's doing what is asked of him as a quarterback,

1511
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 11: which is just keep the drives going, take care of

1512
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 11: the ball, don't make mistakes, and he's doing a good

1513
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 11: job of that, orchestrating drives down the field and then

1514
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 11: finishing in the red zone when it matters the most.

1515
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 11: That's the biggest thing for him as a quarterback is

1516
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 11: how can you limit the mistakes, limit the turnovers and

1517
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 11: finish when it matters the most. And from what I've

1518
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 11: seen from his offensive skills set this season compared to

1519
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 11: last season, it's a lot. It's way different than last year.

1520
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 11: Right last year, you're running two different schemes and there's

1521
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 11: just a bunch of confusion from the top down. Coaching

1522
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:08,960
Speaker 11: is you know, very suspect having problem getting play calls

1523
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 11: in and then you go to this year where there's

1524
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 11: so much more structure, We're making way more changes at

1525
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,000
Speaker 11: the line of scrimmage, and he's just operating at a

1526
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:21,879
Speaker 11: different level. And it No, it's not the three hundred

1527
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 11: plus yards a game Russell Wilson. It's gonna be one

1528
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 11: hundred and seventy passing yards a game, Russell Wilson. But hey,

1529
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:32,720
Speaker 11: we went two for two in the red zone and

1530
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 11: we're gonna win the game. That is the that's the

1531
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:38,600
Speaker 11: style of football that you know. Honestly, it's it is

1532
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,280
Speaker 11: refreshing to see a lot of Broncos fans need to

1533
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 11: remember that Super Bowl season. Right in twenty fifteen, Peyton

1534
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 11: Manning is on the downturn, he's got the injury, he's

1535
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 11: not playing well at all. We all remember that for

1536
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 11: interception first half in Kansas against Kansas City. That was

1537
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 11: not a fun time to be a Broncos fan. But

1538
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 11: brock As comes in.

1539
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 2: He's not blowing up the league.

1540
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:05,559
Speaker 1: He's not throwing for two fifty plus every game.

1541
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, we know, we know, dude, he played here. Yeah

1542
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:08,760
Speaker 7: I know.

1543
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,560
Speaker 11: But like what he did during that stretch was he

1544
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 11: just played well enough to get the Broncos to wins

1545
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 11: and then the defense shorted up in the end. And right,

1546
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 11: right now, that's kind of what we're seeing. Just play it,

1547
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 11: play well when you need to, let the defense do

1548
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:31,680
Speaker 11: their job. No, Russ is not back, but kind of

1549
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 11: Russ's back.

1550
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:35,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, Russ is back doing what you need him to do.

1551
01:09:35,920 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 2: Missus.

1552
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 6: Patrick Keyoti talking with us. He hosts the podcast in

1553
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 6: the Denver areas, the Let's Ride Podcast with Chris Harris Junior,

1554
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 6: the excellent corner of the Denver Broncos. Okay, how much

1555
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 6: is this run game helping out what Russell Wilson, what

1556
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 6: this offense needs to do. It's it's an interesting dynamic,

1557
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 6: isn't it.

1558
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 11: Yeah, it is, And and that's the Sean Payton identity.

1559
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 11: Right We're gonna we're gonna run the ball, we're gonna

1560
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 11: pound it, we're going to control the clock, and we're

1561
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 11: going to pass when we need to. Right, this run

1562
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 11: game is a necessity at this point for the Denver

1563
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:12,920
Speaker 11: Broncos offense because play action is such a big part

1564
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 11: of what Russell Wilson does as well. He's probably one

1565
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:18,719
Speaker 11: of the better quarterbacks off of play action for the offense.

1566
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:22,680
Speaker 11: Setting the tone early, setting that physicality.

1567
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 2: That is what is going to win you games.

1568
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,680
Speaker 11: Going into that game last week against Cleveland, that was

1569
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 11: one of the games I was worried about, not so

1570
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,600
Speaker 11: much on the offensive side, but that defense is just

1571
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 11: so good. So what they were able to do is

1572
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 11: just create that physical tone with a really good defense,

1573
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 11: one of the better run defenses in the league, and

1574
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 11: then they run for one hundred and seventy plus on him.

1575
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 11: That's your recipe for success. Giving Javonte Williams twenty carries

1576
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 11: a game, getting some a JP Ryn catches out of

1577
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 11: the backfield, short yardage, third down situations where hey, maybe

1578
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:00,639
Speaker 11: it's not a passing down, but we know we're gonna

1579
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 11: be able to pick up a couple of yards.

1580
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:04,560
Speaker 1: That was a huge key to it.

1581
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 7: They changed some of the stuff they did.

1582
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:10,600
Speaker 11: Schematically, and Peyton's been doing that all season long, just

1583
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:15,639
Speaker 11: depending on who he's matched up against. So it's all

1584
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 11: starts at the top right, setting that tone, setting the physicality,

1585
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 11: and then you get Javonte back from the injury that

1586
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 11: was massive. He is getting back to his old self,

1587
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 11: and then Sama JP Ryan just continues to be one

1588
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:31,719
Speaker 11: of the better free agent additions to this team. Jelium

1589
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 11: McLoughlin has kind of slowed down a little bit these

1590
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 11: last couple of weeks because they're facing more physical fronts,

1591
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 11: but I would definitely expect him to stay in the mixed,

1592
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:42,879
Speaker 11: you know, whether it's catching passes out of the backfield

1593
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 11: or whether it's you know, they're going wide zone, whatever

1594
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 11: it is, just get him involved sometimes because he can

1595
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:51,599
Speaker 11: be that pacesetter. Definitely love to see what the Broncos

1596
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 11: are doing in the run game.

1597
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 2: It's been a huge part of their success.

1598
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 7: Patrick.

1599
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 6: You know, you bring up that that win last Sunday

1600
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 6: over Cleveland and text fans people in the organization. They're

1601
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 6: keeping an eye on Cleveland all season long, and it

1602
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 6: seemed like, how the hell are these guys not losing,

1603
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 6: And it's because of that excellent defense, and they're keeping

1604
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 6: that eye on the Bronco or the Browns because the

1605
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 6: Texans have that Brown's first round choice. They traded away

1606
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 6: the Texans own to Cleveland in that deal to move

1607
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:20,880
Speaker 6: up to take Will Anderson. So all eyes have been

1608
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 6: on Cleveland, all eyes have been rooting.

1609
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:23,759
Speaker 7: For Cleveland losses.

1610
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 6: So thank you to the Denver Broncos for maybe just

1611
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:29,560
Speaker 6: a little bit driving that draft pick closer to the

1612
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 6: tippy top of the draft. But the defensive side of

1613
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 6: the ball, the names that people notice and bring to

1614
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,559
Speaker 6: mind first are out the back end. Patrick Sartan, the corner.

1615
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 6: You know, Justin Simmons, the excellent safety. He's already got

1616
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:44,639
Speaker 6: thirty career interceptions. You know, the best in franchise history

1617
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:47,680
Speaker 6: for the Texans is nineteen, which that's nothing to steeze at,

1618
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 6: but he's already got thirty. And when you see those

1619
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 6: two names, yeah, you know they're great. But what are

1620
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 6: the names that people don't hear enough about?

1621
01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:57,719
Speaker 7: Is it Nick Bonnito?

1622
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:01,480
Speaker 6: Is somebody else who should Texans fans kind of familiarize

1623
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:03,639
Speaker 6: themselves with outside of Simmonsons.

1624
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 11: Certain, I mean, that's a great question. There's really three

1625
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:08,640
Speaker 11: names for me that come to mind. Out of the

1626
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 11: ones that you know you named. The first is going

1627
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 11: to be Baron Browning. And the reason that he's going

1628
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 11: to be so important to watch for Texans fans that

1629
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 11: you know, you just lost Titus Howard. That's a big blow,

1630
01:13:19,439 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 11: right for a team that has given up eleven sacks

1631
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 11: in the last four games, thirty nine pressures in the

1632
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 11: last four games. This is going to be one of

1633
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:30,679
Speaker 11: those matchups to watch. Is Baron Browning against Laramie Tunsel

1634
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,559
Speaker 11: or whether they put him on the other side, that's

1635
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,479
Speaker 11: going to be your due to watch. Ever since he

1636
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 11: has come back from his injury, the Broncos have seen

1637
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 11: success in creating pressure in the turnover battle. They've seen

1638
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 11: that and Baron Browning is a big reason for that.

1639
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:50,680
Speaker 11: The other two names Drew J. Kwan McMillan, who has

1640
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 11: been playing absolutely lights out, and Fabian Moreau. Fabian Moreau

1641
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 11: putting him in for Damari Mathis was arguably one of

1642
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:03,360
Speaker 11: Vance Joseph's greatest career decisions because that guy has been

1643
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 11: playing absolutely lights out. He's allowing just over a fifty

1644
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 11: I think it's fifty seven point nine or fifty nine

1645
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 11: point seven passer rating when he's thrown to.

1646
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 1: Guy has absolutely balling out.

1647
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 6: And he was here in camp a year or so back.

1648
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,599
Speaker 6: I mean he was a Texan for a little little bit, yeah.

1649
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 11: Right, And it was it was really weird because you know,

1650
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:26,640
Speaker 11: Mathis had a great season last year and everybody was

1651
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 11: so excited about him coming back and then he just

1652
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 11: played horribly and they put in Moreau and it's like,

1653
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 11: what are we doing, Like, why don't we go out

1654
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 11: and get somebody. No, this guy has been playing absolutely

1655
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:40,559
Speaker 11: lights out. He is gonna be the matchup to watch

1656
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 11: because I personally love the Houston Texans wide receiver room.

1657
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 11: I think it's one of the more underrated rooms in

1658
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 11: the league. I've been saying that since before the season.

1659
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 11: They were one of my favorites on paper, and now

1660
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 11: seeing the success that CJ. Stroud has had, Faban Moreau,

1661
01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:00,120
Speaker 11: Jay Kwan, McMillan, Baron Browning, those are the names that

1662
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 11: I'm like, if you want to beat CJ. Stroud right now,

1663
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:06,839
Speaker 11: you those three guys have to ball out in the secondary.

1664
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:09,760
Speaker 11: PS two Justin Simmons, Yeah, they got to do their

1665
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:12,600
Speaker 11: jobs right. These other three guys, they have been the

1666
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:16,679
Speaker 11: catalysts for this amazing defensive stretch that we've seen twenty

1667
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 11: five percent of offensive drives ending in turnovers. I don't

1668
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 11: think we've seen anything like that in the NFL for

1669
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:24,760
Speaker 11: a long time.

1670
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a fantastic stat there for the Denver Broncos.

1671
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,599
Speaker 6: And we're talking with Patrick Keyoti. He hosts the Let's

1672
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 6: Ride podcast all about the Denver Broncos. Does that with

1673
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 6: former Denver corner Chris Harris Junior. The takeaway is it's

1674
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 6: something that Texans have been good at it. They've been

1675
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 6: clean with the football. There was a little stretch there

1676
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 6: where Stroud, you know, throw a not a flurry, but

1677
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 6: a little cluster of interceptions are over two games stretch.

1678
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 6: But other than that, been very very.

1679
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:53,800
Speaker 7: Judicious when throwing the ball.

1680
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 6: Top ten in the NFL and turnover to differential as

1681
01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:00,599
Speaker 6: a team are the Texans. That's something that it bears

1682
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:02,679
Speaker 6: watch and you got to make sure you're clean against

1683
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 6: a team like the Broncos, against an opportunistic defense like

1684
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 6: the Broncos. That's a stat man, a quarter of their

1685
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:12,679
Speaker 6: drives ending in turnover takeaway. Excuse me, that's fantastic for Denver.

1686
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:15,599
Speaker 6: I mean, that's clearly one of the reasons they're winning.

1687
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:19,040
Speaker 11: I should clarify that since week six, right yeah, yeah,

1688
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:23,480
Speaker 11: so yeah, So it's a good stretch. It's an absolutely

1689
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 11: amazing stretch. And this defense still, you know, still ranked

1690
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:31,400
Speaker 11: last in the NFL in rushing yards allowed, still one

1691
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:34,200
Speaker 11: of the bottom teams as far as passing yards allowed.

1692
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 11: I believe overall defense is twenty ninth in the league.

1693
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 11: And the Miami game is going to be a big

1694
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:43,040
Speaker 11: part of that. But looking at how they bounced back,

1695
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 11: I mean that early season, those early season games where

1696
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 11: they struggled on defense, I mean they weren't creating pressure

1697
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 11: at all. You were barely creating turnovers and just getting

1698
01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:57,600
Speaker 11: run through on the ground and through the air. That

1699
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:01,680
Speaker 11: was like a humbling time for this defensive group. And

1700
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 11: kudos to Vance Joseph and Sean Payton for sitting all

1701
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 11: of those guys down and being like, this is not

1702
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 11: going to win you guys football games. This is not

1703
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 11: gonna be it. You got to change something, and they

1704
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:18,200
Speaker 11: made some changes personnel wise, Frank Clark and Randy Gregory,

1705
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:22,360
Speaker 11: they said goodbye to them, saying Bassie and Damari Mathis

1706
01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:25,400
Speaker 11: got demoted. Bassie left, he's with the Chargers now. But

1707
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:27,680
Speaker 11: you bring in these other guys and then you get

1708
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:31,639
Speaker 11: Baron Brack, Baron Browning back, and it's like the youth

1709
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 11: movement has infused this defense. They've got some key veterans

1710
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:38,640
Speaker 11: in spots, but most of these young guys are just

1711
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 11: playing really well. You mentioned Nick Benito. Nick Benito has

1712
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 11: had a great second season, going from his rookie season

1713
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:48,880
Speaker 11: where it was almost like why didn't we pick this

1714
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,760
Speaker 11: guy with our second round pick if he's not even

1715
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 11: gonna play well, let him develop, let him get his

1716
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 11: you know, let him get his footing in the NFL.

1717
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:01,679
Speaker 11: And now he's he's found his role. He's been doing well.

1718
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 11: I believe he's got about either seven or eight sacks

1719
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:08,639
Speaker 11: on the year. It's good to see the young guys

1720
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:12,959
Speaker 11: getting their run and doing something with it. This defensive

1721
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:16,719
Speaker 11: grow desperately needed it. You go from losing by fifty,

1722
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 11: allowing seventy points to the Miami Dolphins, and then you

1723
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:24,759
Speaker 11: end a sixteen game streak against the Kansas City Chiefs

1724
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 11: in the same season.

1725
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.

1726
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 11: If you would have told me before the season that

1727
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,120
Speaker 11: that was going to happen with this group, I would

1728
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:33,559
Speaker 11: have laughed in your face and it wouldn't have been

1729
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:34,320
Speaker 11: a bit of conversation.

1730
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 1: That was a great conversation with Drew Doherty and Patrick

1731
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:42,240
Speaker 1: Keyoti from the Believe Network does a great job knows

1732
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 1: the Broncos inside out.

1733
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:45,200
Speaker 2: As you heard.

1734
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 1: Next, we got all kinds of games going on in

1735
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:51,840
Speaker 1: the NFL this weekend. I will pick them straight up

1736
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 1: and against this spread right here on Texas All Access.

1737
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 1: Next all right, here we go Friday night, best.

1738
01:18:57,800 --> 01:18:58,560
Speaker 2: Time to do this.

1739
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:02,240
Speaker 1: As always, I love picking games straight up against the spread.

1740
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 1: I just love that. I love to talk about the game.

1741
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:07,439
Speaker 1: I love to talk about the games themselves happening in

1742
01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm over one this week because I picked

1743
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to win. I picked the Cowboys to cover.

1744
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,760
Speaker 1: They didn't because Seahawks played their guts out forty one

1745
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,640
Speaker 1: thirty five. What a game on Amazon last night. So

1746
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 1: let's get it together. Pick the rest of these games

1747
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 1: straight up and against the spread. Now, like I said earlier,

1748
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,639
Speaker 1: this is not a BAFO week of games. If you will,

1749
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 1: there's one magical one and we'll talk about that. But

1750
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:37,640
Speaker 1: these games don't include teams with winning records except for

1751
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos and the Houston Texas, which you know I

1752
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:40,760
Speaker 1: never picked that one.

1753
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 2: I don't go against my heart, my head.

1754
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 1: I never picked that, even though I do feel like

1755
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:45,960
Speaker 1: the Texans are gonna win that thing and cover that

1756
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,720
Speaker 1: three point spread. But I don't pick that one for

1757
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: that particular reason. So let's get my music going. Well,

1758
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: let's crush these games. The Chargers are taking on the Patriots.

1759
01:19:57,280 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 1: This game is a five and a half point spread

1760
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:04,080
Speaker 1: for the Chargers in Gillette Stadium. This feels kind of

1761
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:07,719
Speaker 1: like a trap. This feels like also the last salvo

1762
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:12,080
Speaker 1: of Brandon Staley. I feel like if the Chargers lose

1763
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:16,120
Speaker 1: this game that Staley is completely done and maybe done,

1764
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 1: as in they fly back home and it's done. They're

1765
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,720
Speaker 1: interim coaching it the rest of the way, and the

1766
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:25,679
Speaker 1: Chargers finished the season like five and twelve. For that reason,

1767
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:27,599
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the Chargers are gonna go win this game.

1768
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:29,559
Speaker 1: They're gonna get the five and seven. They're also gonna

1769
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:31,679
Speaker 1: cover the five and a half points spread. The Patriots

1770
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 1: will fall to to and ten, Chargers will move to

1771
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 1: five and seven. So I'm going with the Chargers to

1772
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,880
Speaker 1: win and cover that five and a half. All Right,

1773
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 1: there's on the Cardinals. We're taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers

1774
01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:47,280
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh finally hit the offensive juggernaut explosion last week.

1775
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: They've been over four hundred yards now. They didn't scored

1776
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: to our points. In fact, I think you always scored seventeen,

1777
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 1: but they got the offense moving now. Is because Matt

1778
01:20:56,960 --> 01:21:00,519
Speaker 1: Canada was out? Was it because they just bonded with

1779
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:04,439
Speaker 1: new offensive leadership. Who knows. I think Pittsburgh's not gonna

1780
01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 1: explode again, but they are going to do enough to

1781
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 1: cover that six and a half point spread. This feels

1782
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:13,280
Speaker 1: like seven to ten, twenty four to fourteen, twenty one

1783
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 1: ten sort of thing, and that favors the Steelers winning

1784
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:20,760
Speaker 1: and covering at home. Cults are taking on the Titans now,

1785
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 1: I am I'm a bit not perplexed. Culture playing some

1786
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 1: good football. Gardner Mitchell is not doing a lot. You know,

1787
01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 1: his touchdoun interception issue is eight to seven.

1788
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 2: It's weird.

1789
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:34,080
Speaker 1: Get the Colts keep winning games. They've been doing it

1790
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: with their running game of the defense. Well, there's no

1791
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. Is that the opening the Titans need? Yes,

1792
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 1: it's going to be. The Titans are gonna win at home,

1793
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 1: and obviously they're one point underdog, so they will cover

1794
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:48,519
Speaker 1: that too. So Titans to win and cover against the Colts.

1795
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:52,839
Speaker 1: On Sunday as Indies a one point favorite. In Tennessee,

1796
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 1: the Lions are taking on the Saints.

1797
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 6: Now.

1798
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:55,639
Speaker 2: The Lions are all over the place.

1799
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,920
Speaker 1: They're coming off that Thursday Thanksgiving loss to the Packers.

1800
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 1: Now they're going down to New Orleans and New Orleans

1801
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 1: is all over the place. They just lost Atlanta. I'm

1802
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:05,680
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Lions in this one to cover

1803
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:06,960
Speaker 1: the four and a half in the Dome.

1804
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:07,679
Speaker 2: It to be loud.

1805
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:10,880
Speaker 1: The Lions usually bounce back with a solid, strong game

1806
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: after a tough one, so let's go Lions to win

1807
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 1: and cover that four and a half. The Falcons take

1808
01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 1: on the Jets. I got no read on this at all,

1809
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:19,759
Speaker 1: and Atlanta's favorite by two. Tim Boyles. Starting with the Jets.

1810
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:21,640
Speaker 1: There's a part of me that thinks the Jets will

1811
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:24,960
Speaker 1: rise up and do something, but I just can't see it.

1812
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go Atlanta to win by three twenty

1813
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 1: to seventeen.

1814
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 2: That'll cover the spread.

1815
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 1: Falcons can win on the road, a much needed to

1816
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 1: win to stay atop the NFC South. The Commanders are

1817
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 1: taking on the Dolphins in Washington. Nope, Dolphins beating Miami

1818
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 1: all Right'm sorry, Dolphins beating the Commanders and covering the

1819
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: nine and a half. Can't see Commanders staying that one.

1820
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 1: Keep it out with close. Dolphins will explode. Panther's taking

1821
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: on a Bucks. Bucks are at home a five point favorite.

1822
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: Let's go Bucks to win that and cover the five

1823
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 1: the Browns are taking on the Rams out in LA.

1824
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 1: They've been out in La the whole week. The Rams

1825
01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 1: are faired by four. Let's go Rams. Let's cover that

1826
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco star for the Browns. I think the Browns

1827
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 1: will keep it close, but not close enough. Rams are

1828
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 1: gonna win this thing by seven. Chiefs taken on the

1829
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:08,880
Speaker 1: Packers Sunday night. It's gonna be a good football game.

1830
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City is faired by six, and Lambeau take the

1831
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 1: Packers to cover the six Chiefs to win. And finally,

1832
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:17,799
Speaker 1: in the biggest game of the weekend, we're going Niners

1833
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:20,680
Speaker 1: over the Eagles. Niners favored by three, They're gonna win

1834
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 1: by seven, thirty four to twenty seven in Philly. Eagles

1835
01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:26,599
Speaker 1: have been playing with fire and they'll get burned this time.

1836
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 1: So it's all your games for Sunday we get back.

1837
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:31,400
Speaker 1: It's Heer from Demico Ryans one final time on Texans

1838
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:34,439
Speaker 1: All Access. We go on final segment of this edition

1839
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 1: of the Texans All Access from the Hunday Texans Radio studio.

01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:00,760
Speaker 1: talk to Demiko Ryans, and why not talk to him

1848
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:02,599
Speaker 1: a little bit more about the Denver Broncos. He gave

1849
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 1: some great stuff talking about Russell Wilson and the crew

1850
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 1: from Denver.

1851
01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 3: This league fascinates me. You work all off season long

1852
01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 3: and then you have these games and it comes down

1853
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:17,880
Speaker 3: to just inches literally yesterday, and so every weight you lift,

1854
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 3: every rep you run in the offseason might affect a

1855
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 3: moment like that.

1856
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 5: No matter what it is, right it man, it's all

1857
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:25,840
Speaker 5: about the details, right.

1858
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 4: Every team is good, everybody has great athletes, everybody has

1859
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:33,679
Speaker 4: strong play, everybody has good scheme. But when it comes

1860
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 4: down to it, right, all these games in NFL comes

1861
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 4: down to the last possession. So it's about those small

1862
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:43,080
Speaker 4: details and who can execute right, Who can execute in

1863
01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 4: that critical situation, that critical moment? Can you execute and

1864
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:49,080
Speaker 4: can you be on it to put your team on

1865
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:49,800
Speaker 4: the winning side.

1866
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:51,840
Speaker 2: We know you're a pretty cool customer, coach.

1867
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 1: But it's seven straight within the last minute of the game,

1868
01:24:57,240 --> 01:24:59,680
Speaker 1: and I know, I get a little bit nervous, but

1869
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 1: find yourself kind of like, all right, we're just kind

1870
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:03,439
Speaker 1: of back where we normally are.

1871
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 2: That's you kind of you're you're more accustomed to it.

1872
01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 1: You're comfortable, kind of being uncomfortable in the last minute

1873
01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 1: of the game, so to speak.

1874
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:12,759
Speaker 2: You kind of fuel that after all these games.

1875
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:14,760
Speaker 5: That you've met and that it seems to be who

1876
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 5: we are.

1877
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:17,600
Speaker 4: So I had to get comfortable in that moment, and

1878
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,680
Speaker 4: you know, probably a little more nervous earlier on in

1879
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 4: the season. But now seeing our guys, right and how

1880
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,639
Speaker 4: they performed in those moments, is seeing us come out

1881
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:29,560
Speaker 4: with victories, Right, They've given me that confidence and know

1882
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:31,960
Speaker 4: that I know we're gonna find a way to make

1883
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:33,880
Speaker 4: a play. I know we're gonna find a way to

1884
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 4: be on the winning side of this game. So it's

1885
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:38,600
Speaker 4: all about those players in a way they execute in

1886
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:40,400
Speaker 4: that moment to give me that confidence.

1887
01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:40,840
Speaker 2: All right.

1888
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:44,120
Speaker 3: So for the Denver Broncos, you probably don't look at

1889
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:46,599
Speaker 3: too much tape from earlier in the season, right, maybe

1890
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 3: the Miami game, you don't even look at it. I

1891
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 3: don't know if you do or not, coach, but here

1892
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:52,000
Speaker 3: they are having won five games in a row, that's

1893
01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 3: tied for the league's longest winning streak, and they're taking

1894
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:56,679
Speaker 3: the ball away a lot lately. What are you seeing

1895
01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:58,920
Speaker 3: in them so far? Before you dive really deep into

1896
01:25:58,960 --> 01:25:59,759
Speaker 3: the prep this week.

1897
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 5: Starts with their defense.

1898
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 4: As you said, the way they're creating turnovers right, giving

1899
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:07,200
Speaker 4: their offense a short fields, that's how they're winning games.

1900
01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:07,400
Speaker 8: Right.

1901
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 4: They're playing really good on defense, and we have to

1902
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:12,880
Speaker 4: mask that defense. We have to play better. I know

1903
01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:15,680
Speaker 4: this game is going to be about the turnover battle, right.

1904
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 4: We got to find a way to create some turnovers

1905
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 4: for us on a defense.

1906
01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 5: Right. But that's where Denver is. They're going to run

1907
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:23,080
Speaker 5: the ball well.

1908
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 4: They got good backs, good old line, They run the

1909
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:27,559
Speaker 4: ball well, and then they really rely on their defense.

1910
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:30,599
Speaker 1: Coach, When you face a quarterback like the one you're

1911
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: about to face, he's a guy that's made a lot

1912
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:34,600
Speaker 1: of people miss over the years doing the things that

1913
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:36,880
Speaker 1: he does. We talked about it a little bit with

1914
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:38,720
Speaker 1: some of the quarterbacks you face. You know, how much

1915
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 1: longer you got to stay in coverage, you'll plaster receivers.

1916
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:43,479
Speaker 1: You'll double covering your receivers because this guy could get

1917
01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 1: out and go. Russell's been doing it for a long time.

1918
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:48,560
Speaker 1: How big a concern is that even though he's a

1919
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 1: little bit older as a quarterback, as a quarterback now

1920
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,760
Speaker 1: as a human being, but as a quarterback, but yeah,

1921
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:55,920
Speaker 1: he can still hurt you in that in that particular way.

1922
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 1: How tough does that make it on your linebackers on

1923
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:01,719
Speaker 1: your front to make sure that he doesn't playoff schedule?

1924
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:05,240
Speaker 4: And it's really gonna be so played against Russell a lot,

1925
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 4: and that's when he's created those plays like gets down

1926
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter, he scrambles and makes a play

1927
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:14,400
Speaker 4: to keep takest in to drive. So our d line

1928
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:16,599
Speaker 4: they have to be in tune today. He can get

1929
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 4: out at any time. The linebackers, the safeties, all right,

1930
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 4: whoever's in covers. We have to have him right accounted for.

1931
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:25,160
Speaker 4: So we have to make sure our pressures are designed

1932
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:27,720
Speaker 4: a proper way and we can cover up all of

1933
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 4: the gaps to make sure he can't get out.

1934
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:29,800
Speaker 2: All right.

1935
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 3: Since you're the head coach of this team, you're just

1936
01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:33,559
Speaker 3: gonna have to indulge me on this coach, we played

1937
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:36,800
Speaker 3: against the Broncos obviously before, but I remember a big

1938
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:39,760
Speaker 3: Bronco game with the Texans in two thousand and seven.

1939
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 2: It was a prime time Thursday night or do you

1940
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:42,720
Speaker 2: remember this one?

1941
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:43,799
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, already?

1942
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:47,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you went to five hundred for the first

1943
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:50,040
Speaker 3: time in franchise history that night.

1944
01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 2: It was a big game. Mario had a good game.

1945
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:53,519
Speaker 2: You had a good game, So you remember that.

1946
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 4: I definitely remember that evening battle red. You don't forget

1947
01:27:57,120 --> 01:28:01,600
Speaker 4: those battle red moments. But remember playing against Denver. I

1948
01:28:01,680 --> 01:28:03,600
Speaker 4: think the roof was open at night. It was a

1949
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:06,640
Speaker 4: primetime game. There weren't many prime time games, but you

1950
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:11,600
Speaker 4: remember those opportunities and uh man, funny how you know

1951
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:14,760
Speaker 4: full circle or now you get opportunity all right to

1952
01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:17,599
Speaker 4: be in a prime time spot. I call it getting

1953
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:19,880
Speaker 4: a noon game, getting more eyes on us this week.

1954
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 4: Great opportunity for our guys to go out and show

1955
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 4: what Texan football looks like.

1956
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 2: Coach, You've always wondered this game, is that an ergy?

1957
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:27,400
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1958
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:30,800
Speaker 1: I'm very glad for that, because especially the crowd lately

1959
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 1: has been incredible and they've given you a boost. You

1960
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:36,320
Speaker 1: could tell Trevor was really working to communicate with his guys.

1961
01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:40,759
Speaker 1: How tough is it to play in Denver with the altitude?

1962
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:41,400
Speaker 2: Is it that much?

1963
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 1: Is it better that the game is here? Is altitude

1964
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:45,720
Speaker 1: really a factor for players when they're up in there?

1965
01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 4: Definitely a different factor. Yeah, you talk about breathing and trying.

1966
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:51,880
Speaker 4: You can't get acclimated as quickly as we would go in,

1967
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:55,640
Speaker 4: say Saturday before the game. It's hard to get acclimated.

1968
01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 4: So it is an issue when you play in Denver.

1969
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:00,560
Speaker 4: So happy to be in in ourd happy to have

1970
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:02,960
Speaker 4: our crowd cause of fits for Russell.

1971
01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:05,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, isn't the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs

1972
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 2: or something like that. Shouldn't they be the best.

1973
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 3: Road team in the world with the altitude that they

1974
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,120
Speaker 3: deal with on a regular basis that I don't know,

1975
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe not?

1976
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:13,080
Speaker 2: Who knows?

1977
01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:16,120
Speaker 3: The battle red One quick question about that. You went

1978
01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:18,439
Speaker 3: all read yesterday with the red helmet. You like that

1979
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:20,560
Speaker 3: combo better than the week before? Do you have a

1980
01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:22,880
Speaker 3: personal preference here because the week before you had the

1981
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:24,200
Speaker 3: color rush with the red helmet?

1982
01:29:24,479 --> 01:29:26,400
Speaker 2: You probably don't care. Let's just go out and play

1983
01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:26,960
Speaker 2: some football.

1984
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 4: I do like the real Hilmets, The real Hillmet pretty sweet,

1985
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:32,960
Speaker 4: and I think our guys really love the real Hillmets.

1986
01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:35,560
Speaker 4: The battle red is always cool. The color rush that

1987
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,120
Speaker 4: was a unique combo that I really liked as well.

1988
01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:40,519
Speaker 4: I think anytime you throw the red on, the guys

1989
01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:41,280
Speaker 4: get fired up.

1990
01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:45,400
Speaker 1: Coach, how much Sean Payton had spent a long time

1991
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:48,360
Speaker 1: with New Orleans and then there do you go back

1992
01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:51,320
Speaker 1: to that those years at all I'm preparing for a

1993
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:53,880
Speaker 1: game like this because Shawn's only been in Denver for

1994
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:56,960
Speaker 1: one year, or because situations are so different, He's got

1995
01:29:57,040 --> 01:29:59,600
Speaker 1: much different quarterbacks that you got to just rely on

1996
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:00,920
Speaker 1: what you say you with Denver this year.

1997
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:03,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll rely on what we see with Denver this year.

1998
01:30:03,400 --> 01:30:05,559
Speaker 4: And then as as we get later in the week,

1999
01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:07,600
Speaker 4: I have time to peek back at some of the

2000
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:11,200
Speaker 4: games we played versus the Saints back in I think

2001
01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:14,679
Speaker 4: twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, played against those guys, So we'll see,

2002
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 4: you know how Sean called it down.

2003
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:18,200
Speaker 2: Along those lines, and you don't have to tell me

2004
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:18,680
Speaker 2: what it is.

2005
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:21,479
Speaker 1: But is there anything particular that you're looking for as

2006
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:23,400
Speaker 1: you go back, as you're going through, are you looking

2007
01:30:23,479 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 1: for anything particular?

2008
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:26,800
Speaker 2: And kind of a review of former years.

2009
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:29,439
Speaker 4: And he's looking for a tendencies and how you know,

2010
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:32,200
Speaker 4: how he tries to attack, you know, a similar scheme.

2011
01:30:32,600 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 4: So I look at all the previous opponents that he

2012
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:38,320
Speaker 4: had that plays a similar scheme to us, and we'll

2013
01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:41,400
Speaker 4: see the play calls when and where he tried to,

2014
01:30:41,880 --> 01:30:44,320
Speaker 4: you know, take a couple of shots or reverse any

2015
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:45,599
Speaker 4: gadget plays.

2016
01:30:45,680 --> 01:30:47,320
Speaker 5: Things like that. May that may show up.

2017
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:49,360
Speaker 3: We know you don't do it, but do you have

2018
01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:51,880
Speaker 3: to tell your players or remind them not to do it?

2019
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:54,000
Speaker 3: Not to stick your head out of the hole and

2020
01:30:54,360 --> 01:30:56,040
Speaker 3: look at what the other teams around the league are

2021
01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:57,920
Speaker 3: doing this time of years. You head down to these

2022
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,519
Speaker 3: final six games with the regular season and then I

2023
01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:02,240
Speaker 3: know we talked about focusing.

2024
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:03,400
Speaker 2: On the next one. Do you have to remind them

2025
01:31:03,439 --> 01:31:04,920
Speaker 2: of that or is that not necessarily?

2026
01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:07,559
Speaker 4: I just told our guys today, like, look the next

2027
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:10,760
Speaker 4: six games that we have, right, everybody is vying for

2028
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 4: a spot. So we have an opportunity one week at

2029
01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:17,360
Speaker 4: a time. You just handle business the right way, but

2030
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:20,120
Speaker 4: everybody is vying for that same spot. So if we

2031
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:22,760
Speaker 4: go out play our style of football the way we

2032
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:25,120
Speaker 4: were supposed to play, we'll love where we end up

2033
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:26,840
Speaker 4: at the end of the six weeks.

2034
01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:30,120
Speaker 1: Coach Dever, like you mentioned earlier, they got a team

2035
01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:34,080
Speaker 1: living off of turnovers with I think thirteen in the

2036
01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:36,559
Speaker 1: last four weeks, and that's really been something that's kind

2037
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:40,640
Speaker 1: of propelled them overall defensively, Certain in one corner Alabama

2038
01:31:40,720 --> 01:31:44,360
Speaker 1: guy shockingly, but overall defensively, what are you kind of seeing?

2039
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:46,040
Speaker 1: Is you just taking kind of a thirty thousand foot

2040
01:31:46,120 --> 01:31:46,680
Speaker 1: view look at them?

2041
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:48,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, starting with their defensive line.

2042
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:51,519
Speaker 4: I always think DJ Jones, He's made a lot of

2043
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:54,639
Speaker 4: plays at the interior nose spot, so it starts with him,

2044
01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:57,960
Speaker 4: and they're Nick Benito on the edge is doing a

2045
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 4: really good job Cooper on the edge. They have really

2046
01:32:00,439 --> 01:32:03,320
Speaker 4: good edge players. But the strength of their team definitely

2047
01:32:03,400 --> 01:32:06,920
Speaker 4: relies it lies in their secondary. They have multiple guys

2048
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:11,360
Speaker 4: at different spots where it's the safeties, the nickels, the corners, they're.

2049
01:32:11,160 --> 01:32:12,040
Speaker 5: All over the field.

2050
01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:14,559
Speaker 4: Mix Dvance does a really good job of mixing up

2051
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:17,920
Speaker 4: the looks, the coverages, and I know they'll be coach

2052
01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:20,599
Speaker 4: well Vance does a really good job of coaching those guys,

2053
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,240
Speaker 4: and they're gonna strain us. Vance is going to change

2054
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:24,800
Speaker 4: it up a lot, give us a lot of different

2055
01:32:24,840 --> 01:32:26,880
Speaker 4: blitz looks. So we just we have to be on

2056
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:30,000
Speaker 4: it right. We can't focus on all the chaos that

2057
01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:32,120
Speaker 4: he will show us. Right, We just have to go

2058
01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:35,160
Speaker 4: out and execute one play at a time. Back to

2059
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:36,760
Speaker 4: our basics, back to our fundamentals.

2060
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:40,320
Speaker 3: All right, The Amergy Bank asked coach question of the week. Now, Coach,

2061
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:44,320
Speaker 3: it's the holidays, Christmas music is being heard. Is it

2062
01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:47,960
Speaker 3: too early for Christmas music? Or are you okay with it?

2063
01:32:48,040 --> 01:32:51,360
Speaker 3: When is it acceptable to start hearing Christmas music? You

2064
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:54,320
Speaker 3: probably don't hear anything. You're here all the time. It's

2065
01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:56,679
Speaker 3: not like it's playing in the building constantly or anything.

2066
01:32:56,840 --> 01:32:57,720
Speaker 5: Is it December yet?

2067
01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:02,519
Speaker 2: Let's way, do we get the dead rule? Are the

2068
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:04,439
Speaker 2: decorations up in the Ryans household?

2069
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:07,479
Speaker 4: Yet they're getting pulled out of the garage tonight it

2070
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:09,559
Speaker 4: will start start throwing some things up.

2071
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:12,000
Speaker 1: How much do you get asked to contribute to the

2072
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:14,840
Speaker 1: the the decoration of the house.

2073
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:20,040
Speaker 4: Definitely the Christmas tree, that's the big one. They take

2074
01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:22,160
Speaker 4: care of everything that's good.

2075
01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:24,720
Speaker 3: That's the thing of pride right there. All right, do

2076
01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:27,639
Speaker 3: you have a favorite Christmas song? And we will ask

2077
01:33:27,720 --> 01:33:28,840
Speaker 3: Nick Casario this as well.

2078
01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:32,439
Speaker 4: By the way favorite Christmas song. Oh, Silent Night by

2079
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:33,640

Speaker 2: Nice. Oh that's good. I like it. That's good. That's

2081
01:33:38,080 --> 01:33:40,200
Speaker 2: a good one. Coach, thanks a lot for joining us.

2082
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:41,240
Speaker 5: Good luck this week, you guys.

2083
01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 1: Not only did Coach give Silent Night, he specifically said

2084
01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:49,760
Speaker 1: the Temptations version of Silent Night.

2085
01:33:50,320 --> 01:33:53,479
Speaker 2: I love it my favorite Christmas song.

2086
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:58,000
Speaker 1: I can't even believe that I'm about to kind of

2087
01:33:58,040 --> 01:34:01,680
Speaker 1: out myself, but I love love two Christmas songs, and

2088
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,320
Speaker 1: maybe i'm sort of I don't know.

2089
01:34:05,560 --> 01:34:08,599
Speaker 2: I I know that. Look, I'm fifty one years old.

2090
01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:10,880
Speaker 1: I probably should love the Silent Nights and the you know,

2091
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:13,240
Speaker 1: I should love something from that King Cole, and I do.

2092
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:15,719
Speaker 2: But I love two songs.

2093
01:34:16,520 --> 01:34:21,360
Speaker 1: I love Kelly Clarkson Underneath the Tree, and I love

2094
01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:25,120
Speaker 1: Mariah Carey. All I want for Christmas is you. Those

2095
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:26,559
Speaker 1: are the two that I love. Those are my two

2096
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:29,599
Speaker 1: Christmas songs. So whenever those pop on, my family always

2097
01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:32,240
Speaker 1: laughs at me because they're like Mariah Carey and Kelly Clarkson,

2098
01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:34,559
Speaker 1: like they're the last two. I think that people would

2099
01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:36,280
Speaker 1: think I like it. I like them, I like them

2100
01:34:36,280 --> 01:34:37,880
Speaker 1: a lot, but I gotta check out side of the

2101
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:39,760
Speaker 1: night by the Temptations, I'll be doing that. So a
