1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Hello, Texans, Welcome to the show. Great to have you

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: a board tonight. And because it's a short week, we're

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: gonna get right to a modified version sort of of

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: the Demico Ryan Show. We caught up with the head

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: coach today, so that's awesome. We'll have Nick Cassio on

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: Tomorrow night at six, following the Texans lost at Seattle

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: and a very little amount of time to get ready

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: for the next outing against San Francisco Sunday at noon

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: at NRG Stadium. So presented by AMIG Bank, the official

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: business bank of the Houston Texans. Here's Demiko Ryans in studio.

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: Coach. Great to see it, Great to see you guys.

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: All right, everybody's real fresh after that trip. Short week

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: to play the forty nine ers at home. But take

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: us through some of the elements of the game, coach,

15
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: because I know it was a rough one in Seattle

16
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: and you don't have much time to get ready for

17
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: the next one.

18
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, that was a tough one, horror fall battle.

19
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 4: I thought our guys, you know, we had had some

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 4: plays that we made to keep us in the game right,

21
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 4: multiple times, we had opportunities.

22
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: Is phil short there?

23
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 4: We got to be able to move the ball better

24
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 4: and score points in the red zone.

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: A couple of things on our.

26
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 4: Keys to victory were really finishing in the red zone

27
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 4: with points. I knew we had to score to win

28
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 4: that game. And also just controlling the line of scrimmage.

29
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 4: When you look at it, we didn't control the line

30
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 4: of scrimmage in a case where the past two weeks

31
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 4: were able to displace the D line, we were able

32
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 4: to run the ball a little bit and we got

33
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 4: you know, we got knocked back. We could have run

34
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 4: the ball as well, so we lean more heavy on

35
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 4: passing the football and you know, they made some plays

36
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 4: there and we just gotta be better from a standpoint

37
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 4: also of just everybody just doing their job, doing where

38
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 4: we were coached to do, doing it on a consistent basis,

39
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: Like we got to do better in that in that end,

40
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 4: and that starts with me, Couch.

41
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: One of the things you did do much better last night.

42
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 5: She got the turnovers and they came in a big time,

43
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 5: and including Wills where it actually turned into a touchdown,

44
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 5: which I thought, once he makes that touchdown, we're seventeen twelve, Like, okay,

45
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 5: now we got the momentum. Here we go what are

46
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 5: your thoughts about just the turnover machine kind of getting going.

47
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 5: Kaylan's starting it with that interception. That was just a

48
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 5: great one at that moment what we needed badly he

49
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 5: came up with it. But getting the four turnovers last

50
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 5: night that was big for the defense.

51
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 4: Now, that was huge, right is getting turnovers? And mentioned

52
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 4: this too, You have to like getting the turnovers are

53
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 4: a great thing, but is now what do you do

54
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 4: after the turnover and to really swing the game in

55
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 4: your favor, It's all about getting points after the takeaway

56
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 4: and that's where we fail.

57
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: Sure, Wheel did our standing job.

58
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 4: Of getting a sack strip recovering it for a touchdown

59
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 4: is an outstand to play to spark our entire sideline,

60
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 4: entire team, but we just needed more off of the

61
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 4: other takeaways.

62
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: Coach, you mentioned in your press conference something about practicing

63
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: things well and sometimes that is.

64
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: Not always taken to the field.

65
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: What does it take to make practice habits be game

66
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: habits for you?

67
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you just have to be locked in and that's

68
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 4: that's the main thing. Each and every snap. It's one

69
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 4: snap at a time. And I say that not just

70
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 4: a cliche, but it's truly like it's this one snap,

71
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 4: Can I focus in, Can I do the things, remember

72
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 4: the things that we've studied all week, and can I

73
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 4: go out and execute that on that one given snap

74
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 4: and you put that away and then you reset for

75
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 4: the next snap. And so it just takes a lot

76
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 4: of mental focus, right. It takes mental clarity to be

77
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 4: locked in to be in the moment.

78
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 3: Right. You can't think.

79
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 4: About the last play or the net. You gotta think

80
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 4: about this one play. This is all I have. You

81
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: got to be locked in in the moment.

82
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 5: Coach, when you were talking kind of about the game,

83
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 5: some of the things that kind of I'm sure you're

84
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 5: ruminating on our eight thousand hour flight last night, the

85
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 5: offensive line or just the offense in general not being

86
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 5: able to get movement? Is that probably the biggest one?

87
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 5: The physicality of that against a team that was we know,

88
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 5: very very physical. Was that probably the biggest one offensively

89
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 5: that you look at and say, yeah, I really would

90
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 5: have liked our physicality be the better at the point

91
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 5: of Attech.

92
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the main thing we knew. All we talked

93
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: about their front and how they're strong. They're the strongest

94
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 4: part of their team was their front, And we had

95
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: to be able to control their front on our double

96
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 4: team blocks where we didn't. We got split on some

97
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: of the double team blocks where you're not expecting that

98
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 4: to happen.

99
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: So we just got to be able to train better.

100
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 4: We got to be able to play with better technique,

101
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: and if that's the key to winning the game, we

102
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 4: have to execute that and get it done.

103
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: All right, So running game as a whole coach, because

104
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: we know you want to run the football and you

105
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: just haven't gotten the consistency you're looking for in a

106
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: short week.

107
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: What can you do to improve that kind of thing?

108
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you just get back to the basics and the fundamentals, right,

109
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 4: You don't try to reinvent the wheel. You get back

110
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 4: to the things that we do we have done well,

111
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 4: and you try to lean in on those things. And

112
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 4: you just making sure that we're clean on our blocking

113
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 4: us some who we're going to, making sure we're id

114
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 4: and the proper people and going to them and actually

115
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 4: finishing on the correct people.

116
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 2: Coach Kaylen makes that interception.

117
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 5: He also had a couple of plays down the field

118
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 5: where then that one over out where he looked him

119
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 5: it was going away from him, and yet he still

120
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 5: got over the top of the route and made a play.

121
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 5: It feels like he's getting more comfortable in that role

122
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 5: of being that rangey center fielder for you, no matter

123
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 5: what coverage you're in. What have you seen from Kayln lately?

124
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, Kaylen was able to display his range in the

125
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 4: back end, you know, versus our last game because the

126
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 4: ball was up right. There's a lot of deep balls

127
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 4: that were thrown up, and he was able to show

128
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 4: his range and go make plays on the football. And

129
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 4: that's what he's capable of doing. He's that center fielder

130
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 4: who can make those plays for us, and it was

131
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 4: on display versus the Seahawks.

132
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 3: And I always say, if.

133
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 4: Teams want to try him there, he has to be

134
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: the guy to go erase it and go get the football.

135
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: Coach Jellen Knowle has this clutch ability about him. It

136
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: wasn't a ton of catches, but it was a pretty

137
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: big game relative to his rookie season. So what are

138
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: you seeing from him and what can you tell us

139
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: about using him more or how you want to use

140
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: him going down the line.

141
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's definitely continued to, i mean, make more and

142
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 4: more plays for us. We needed a bit play in

143
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 4: a big moment there at the end of the half.

144
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 4: I mean, with an outstanding catch by him to catch

145
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 4: it over the defender to put us in field goal range.

146
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 4: Big play by him, fourth down, another huge moment in

147
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 4: the game.

148
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 3: We needed it.

149
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: CJ found him on the sideline. So he's continued to

150
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 4: make big play after big play. We just got to

151
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 4: find a way to you know, keep leaning in on that,

152
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 4: all right, keep leaning in, find a way to get

153
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 4: him the ball even more.

154
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: How tough was it because Kirk gets injured during practice

155
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: last week, you lose Nico through the course of the game,

156
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: a lot of shuffling you have to do. Burios is

157
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: up for the first time.

158
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: That kind of Yeah, a lot.

159
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 4: Of shuffling that goes on. I tell guys, and my

160
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: theme kind of throughout the week was like, it don't matter,

161
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 4: like we're going across the country playing late. Whoever has

162
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 4: to be that guy to step up to make a play. Really,

163
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter, Like no excuses, no explanations, Let's just

164
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 4: go get the job done. And he saw guys have

165
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 4: to step up, and know I would say, was the

166
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 4: main guy who stepped up and made plays for us.

167
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: Coach, you talked about your frustrations.

168
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 5: How did you feel about the complimentary football aspects, because

169
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 5: there was a couple of really good moments, like you

170
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 5: mentioned in a half Deniko blocks the field goal, you

171
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 5: get to throw to Knowle, you get the field goal

172
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 5: right there, you have Tommy pinning him down inside the

173
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 5: five with his punt. That's when Will gets the strip side.

174
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 5: Complimentary football was there for you and you had some

175
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 5: good moments. How'd you feel about those moments? And how

176
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 5: do you feel about, Hey, we need a few more.

177
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: Of those now. I felt good about it.

178
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 4: You see it right, and I can show the film

179
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 4: when it's when it's done right, And we got some

180
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 4: really great moments of win is doing right and we

181
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 4: execute the right way and it's beautiful football. But there

182
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 4: are some moments out there where we're not lacking. So

183
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 4: it's just a matter of finding that consistency, like who

184
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 4: are we truly? Like, let's be the same and each

185
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 4: and every time that we're out on the field, let's

186
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 4: have that consistency.

187
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: That's what that's gonna put us in a win call.

188
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: How do you handle the week's schedule wise, coach, because

189
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: you can't have a normal Wednesday practice. I would assume

190
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: because you just played less than two days and it's

191
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: not like a Sunday Thursday thing, but it is significant,

192
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: especially with the morning arrival following the game.

193
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a short week for sure, getting back at

194
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 4: seven am in the morning. That's that's a new one

195
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 4: for me. Well, we can't have a normal Wednesday.

196
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: What we'll do.

197
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 4: We'll go out, move around a little bit, and we'll

198
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 4: kind of do a walk through and just to get guys,

199
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 4: you know, some reps, get a moving around, and then

200
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 4: we'll have our normal Thursday practice and get back to it.

201
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 5: Coach, traveling as we have. I went back and looked

202
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 5: the schedule, like we went play Tennessee, then we end

203
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 5: up going to Baltimore having a buy and then going

204
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 5: to Seattle.

205
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: We finally get home, and we get home for three weeks.

206
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 5: I know, we don't want to put the other two

207
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 5: weeks and you know, front of San Francisco, et cetera.

208
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 5: But just to be able to be home for a

209
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: significant stretch of time. How important is it at this

210
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 5: time of year to not have to travel, but to

211
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 5: play those three games at home.

212
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 4: It's always great to be home, always great to be

213
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 4: you know, in your bed always great to be in

214
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: front of our fans. So we're excited to be home

215
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 4: on his three game stretch here and play some good,

216
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 4: good opponents coming up, and we got to go out

217
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 4: and just play better football.

218
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: That's the main thing for me.

219
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 4: Just being home or wherever you are, the execution doesn't change.

220
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 4: Like you got to be able to go out and

221
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 4: play great football, play great football that our fans be

222
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 4: excited to see him.

223
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,239
Speaker 1: How is the Shanahan Kubiak offense different from the Kubiak

224
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: offense that you're just faced in Seattle.

225
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 4: Oh, it's very similar, right, Just watching some of the

226
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 4: film is very similar, seeing some of the same concepts

227
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 4: that show up. So the difference is with Kyle, he's

228
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: just going to be able to get to it, get

229
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 4: to a lot of different formations, many many more motions

230
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 4: and formation variations.

231
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 3: He just get to it a different way. And we

232
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 3: know Christian McCaffery is.

233
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 4: Going to be their go to guy, right, he's going

234
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 4: to be the guy to try to feed the ball too,

235
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 4: So we got to go out and stop him.

236
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 5: Could you had an up close personal look at Rock

237
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 5: Purdy may not play, it might be Mac Jones, And

238
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 5: I know there are different between the two. And I

239
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 5: know we've talked about prep before, and I would imagine

240
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 5: that you've seen the San Francisco offense.

241
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: A few times in your day. You may have seen

242
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: it before.

243
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 5: But either one of those two quarterbacks or just those

244
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 5: two quarterbacks, what have you seen from those two guys?

245
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 2: I know you've probably not too much time to prep.

246
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 5: You've probably seem a little bit play maybe on Sunday

247
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 5: night against the Falcons.

248
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: What do you think about those two quarterbacks?

249
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 4: I think Mac has stepped in and did doing an

250
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 4: outstanding job, right, And it all starts with just their.

251
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 3: Time and how they're moving.

252
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 4: They're trying to create a lot of distractions, right, and

253
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: they have a lot of people open, right, So as

254
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 4: a defense, you have to be able to have your

255
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 4: eyes in the right place. You have to communicate well

256
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 4: with all the motions that they give you. But I

257
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: think Mac and Brock had done a good job.

258
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: Is just getting the ball.

259
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 4: Out very quickly to the open receivers and then they

260
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 4: have their designated shots when they want to go downfield,

261
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 4: but for the most part, they'll just methodically drive down

262
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 4: the field. So we got to find a way to

263
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 4: get stops on early downs and then went on third down.

264
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: How often I would have this is much more of

265
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: an offseason thing. When you're talking with undrafted guys or

266
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: guys who were drafted Day three or whatever, do you

267
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: point out players like Brock Purdy or other guys you

268
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: have worked with who weren't drafted that high who turn

269
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: out to be really significant players in this league.

270
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 4: You always want to point out those guys to let

271
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 4: let everybody know, like, it really doesn't matter how you

272
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 4: get in, like whether you're a seventh round pick, whether

273
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,239
Speaker 4: you're a free agent, like there have been many examples

274
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 4: of a lot of guys who not just first rounders, right,

275
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 4: who make it and succeed in this league. And you know,

276
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 4: and I love the stories of the undrafted free agents

277
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 4: or the late round picks because nobody's expecting anything out

278
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 4: of those guys. And it takes a lot of grit.

279
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 4: It takes a lot of toughness for a guy to

280
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 4: you know, work his way up. But it's just a

281
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 4: matter of it doesn't matter who you are, is just

282
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 4: how you go out and how you play, how you

283
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 4: show that character of yourself when you're playing, and that

284
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 4: it resonates with the underdog stories that everybody loves a

285
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 4: guy who's not supposed to make it by means of

286
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 4: being undrafted, but he comes out and he does well.

287
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 4: Brock Purty, mister irrelevant. He comes out nobody's expecting anything.

288
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 3: But seeing the.

289
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 4: Way he operated and the way he worked in practice,

290
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 4: I could tell right away that he had a different

291
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 4: he had a different feel about him right he had.

292
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: He moved with a lot of confidence.

293
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: He played a lot of football at Iowa State, and

294
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 4: so he had a lot of reps on task and

295
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 4: so he he got out there and he was a

296
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 4: gunslinger making plays and he earned his keep.

297
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: And then now he's a starting quarterback for the forty Niners.

298
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 5: Sounds a lot like a defensive tackle we got right now,

299
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 5: then Tom Toky.

300
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: He's done some good things.

301
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 5: He had a nice night for you, coach, won't ask

302
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 5: you about a different defensive tackle. Defensive end came back

303
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 5: last night, had the big field goal, block, had a sack.

304
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: What does it mean to afton e ka autry.

305
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 4: Back and it's everything for us what Deniko can do

306
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 4: in our and our pass for us having him, Will

307
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 4: and Daniel out there together like Deniko is a problem

308
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 4: especially as an end rusher, whether he's rushing over the

309
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 4: guard or center, like, he just presents a problem. He's big, strong,

310
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 4: he knows how to get to the quarterback. He's done

311
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 4: it a lot in his career. And then you know,

312
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 4: one of the best guys I seen at field goal block.

313
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 4: He finds a way to find a crease and get

314
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 4: through and lifts up, and he actually made the other

315
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 4: guys around him better. I saw more guys like knocking

316
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 4: back getting their hands up. So I'm happy to have

317
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 4: him lift our defense and be able to be an

318
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 4: impact player for us.

319
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: Another guy we wanted to highlight, Woody Marks, had that

320
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: ball poked out. When they recovered it was a fumble

321
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: and it's happening so fast You're thinking, wait, are they

322
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: blowing this thing dead or no, is this an incomplete pass?

323
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: It's a fumble and he gets it back for you.

324
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: Burios recovers in the end zone.

325
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 3: What about past? Wow, man, he talk about a player like,

326
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: what's going on here?

327
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 2: Right?

328
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 3: Ball comes out?

329
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 4: We don't want the ball to come out, of course,

330
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 4: but they recover the ball and to see wood he's reactioning.

331
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 4: He instantly takes off and he's going to attack the

332
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 4: ball right and he gets the ball out, thank god

333
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 4: he did. And then I think it was Jake Andrews

334
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 4: came through, he hit the ball and then ultimately Burios

335
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 4: was able to recover the ball in the end zone.

336
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: It just goes back to it's all about the ball.

337
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 4: Every single every single snap is all about the football,

338
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 4: and whenever the ball is on the ground, we have

339
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 4: to go get it. It's our ball when it's on

340
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 4: the ground. And what he definitely showcase that and we

341
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 4: need it in such a huge moment for us to

342
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 4: make them have to just take the penalty and not

343
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 4: have the touch back.

344
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: You've talked about your defense attacking the ball, and you've

345
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: also said in the past something like you want your

346
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: offense to attack the ball also, you want them to

347
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: have that nasty whatever it is mindset, my words, not yours.

348
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: What does it take to get that done?

349
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: You mentioned fundamentals, but what about the mental aspect of it, coach,

350
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: or is it something that will happen naturally as you continue.

351
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 4: To do It's definitely a mental aspect. When you're on

352
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 4: the offensive side, when it comes to attacking the football,

353
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 4: it's like, how are you catching it with aggressive hands

354
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 4: going up, and you gotta have aggressive hands to go

355
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 4: get the ball. Defenders on you, how tough are you

356
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 4: like to finish through the cats and come down with

357
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 4: the football. Sometimes you just got to go attack it,

358
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 4: and you have to have that mindset that is my

359
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 4: ball and his mind only, and I'm coming away with

360
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 4: the football. So it all starts with the mindset. If

361
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 4: you have the right mindset, we can all attack the ball.

362
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 5: Coach, on that play, there are a lot of things

363
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 5: going on. First of all, was CJ's arm going forward

364
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 5: or not? Was it a pass or not? Did Drake

365
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 5: Thomas get in the end zone before the ball was

366
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 5: popped away?

367
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: Was the ball that recovery taxis?

368
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 5: There's a lot of things happening on that particular play

369
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 5: we were talking about on the broadcast. How much are

370
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 5: the officials at that point communicating to you, Okay, here's

371
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 5: what happened.

372
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: It was ruled this, it was ruled, this was ruled this.

373
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 5: How much are they giving you of the situation at

374
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 5: that particular moment. How much are they keeping you informed

375
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 5: on that particular situation.

376
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 4: Well, when the stop it happens like that and they're

377
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 4: reviewing it. So a ref comes over next to me

378
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 4: and as he's getting the information, he kind of we're

379
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 4: kind of talking and he gives me the information that

380
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 4: he has. So it's kind of spotty because he gets

381
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 4: a little bit.

382
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 3: And he's trying to share.

383
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 4: So you I really don't get the full story until

384
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 4: they're done with the review, but so I'm getting bits

385
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 4: and pieces of First thing, first, I'm at, was it

386
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 4: a fumble?

387
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 3: Right?

388
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: Right?

389
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 3: And you try to start there.

390
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 4: So the ref did a really good job of communicating

391
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 4: what was going on to me and what the other

392
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 4: side was doing. Right, they were gonna take the penalty,

393
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 4: So he did a really nice job of communicating that.

394
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: What do you think it's gonna be like to see

395
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: the forty nine er uniforms over there? Because you know,

396
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: we always talk about you a Texans player and everything.

397
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: Here you are with the Houston Texans as the head coach,

398
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: and you had a lot of time spent with the

399
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: forty nine ers with a lot of former Texans employees

400
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: too over there, so that aspect plays as well, what's

401
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: it gonna be like for you, coach?

402
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be you know, it's gonna be a

403
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 4: great time to see some old friends. This guy's still

404
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 4: coaching over there some players I was able to work with,

405
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: and look, I'm thankful for the organization giving me at

406
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 4: art and coaching allow me to grow, develop and to

407
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 4: be where I am right now today.

408
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 3: So thankful for them. But a game time, It's all Texas.

409
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: Let's go, babe. I'm ready to get after him.

410
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 5: Mark asked you the question about Kyle's offense versus you know,

411
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 5: maybe carriers or what Mike shan hand ran, et cetera.

412
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: What makes Kyle the play caller as good as he is.

413
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the one thing with Kyle is he

414
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 4: never stops thinking about a different way to do a

415
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 4: play right, and so he's always thinking, even though he

416
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 4: has his playbook of what he's done in the past,

417
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 4: Like he's always pushing the envelope of Now you see

418
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 4: the other running back starts to bump motion out of

419
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 4: the backfield, like Kyle kind of started that, and you

420
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 4: got the running back just in a weird spot on

421
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 4: the field. But he gets a free release and he's

422
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 4: able to catch a pass. So he's always thinking outside

423
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 4: of the box. He's always pushing the envelope, and he's

424
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 4: always game planning, even up.

425
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 3: Until up until kickoff, like he's changing things.

426
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 4: He's on those last minute ass He's always adjusting things.

427
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 4: So that's what makes him good at what he does.

428
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 4: And he's you know, he'll take his time and drive

429
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 4: the field right. He doesn't always hunt up the big plays.

430
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 4: He'll stick with the run, take the short passes, and

431
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 4: methodically drive down the field.

432
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: Coach, how tough was communication offensively against Seattle? When you're

433
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: talking about quarterback and offensive line and change his adjustments.

434
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: You have to make it the line of scrimmage versus

435
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: how it's going to be at home when you have

436
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: some quiet to operating offensively.

437
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was loud in Seattle, but not as loud

438
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 4: as I've as I've heard it before, So we kind

439
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 4: of got a little break there in Seattle. It wasn't

440
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 4: as as loud as he's been before. I think a

441
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 4: lot of people were focused on the baseball game. But

442
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 4: I think here at home, our guys understand now is

443
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 4: going to be quiet. We can get in and out

444
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 4: of the huddle, we can make our checks that a

445
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 4: lot of scrimmage. Should be very easy to do that

446
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 4: at home, but it should be hard for us on defense.

447
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 3: So fans.

448
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 2: We need you.

449
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 4: We need the loud noise, especially when we're on defense.

450
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 4: We need to cranked up. We need that energy from

451
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: our fans for sure.

452
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 5: Coach your thoughts on Dalton what he gave you? Not

453
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 5: last night, but this year, it feels like he has

454
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 5: been dialed in, He has been available. He has made

455
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 5: great Keademy. The first catcher is that one handed catches,

456
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 5: like right.

457
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 2: In front of me, Like, whoa, that's a great catch.

458
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: What do you think about the way.

459
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 4: Dalton's Daughton's had a phenomenal year, Like he's showed up

460
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 4: in the passing game, which we all know that's Dalton's

461
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 4: pass and what he's what he's been great at is

462
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 4: in the passing game, right, and but well, I'm more

463
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 4: proud of him is into blocking, Like I think he's

464
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 4: done a better job at blocking at the line of scrimmage.

465
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 4: And then last night, just to see him get target

466
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 4: at the target and him making plays on the sideline,

467
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 4: you know, making guys man finishing inbounds, finishing through guys,

468
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 4: playing physical. I was I was very happy with the

469
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 4: way that he played. And right, he's definitely a warrior

470
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 4: and I'm excited to see him continue you to get

471
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 4: better and prove and make some more big plays for

472
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 4: us this week.

473
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: Coach, as I want to give full disclosure here as

474
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: we record this, we're all coming off the Red Eye

475
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: a few hours ago, and you're remarkably fresh. So sleep

476
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: on planes, I mean, how do you do it, coach?

477
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: How do you get the energy?

478
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 4: I probably slept by maybe two hours on the plane

479
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 4: and I'm rolling. I tried to take me a little

480
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 4: twenty minute walk on the traadmill before I came in

481
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 4: here so my energy could be up and ready to go.

482
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 4: But hey, it's we can't control it, h my deal,

483
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: And you can control what you can't control. We can't

484
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 4: control the flight, what time we get back. Man, we

485
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 4: just rock with it. There's no excuses and pressing forward

486
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 4: on the San Francisco ready to put our best game

487
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 4: playing forward so we can get this bad taste out

488
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 4: of our mouth.

489
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 3: Coach.

490
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's a long trip, but I

491
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 5: mean we make long trips all the time, not one

492
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 5: of this length. But what's kind of your your methodology

493
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 5: after a game? Do you when we get on the plane,

494
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 5: you want to just kind of check out for a

495
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 5: little bit cannot maybe watch a movie or do you

496
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 5: want to just dive right into the film right there

497
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 5: on the set?

498
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: Think he's watching a movie.

499
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 3: I would love to watch a movie.

500
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 4: Trying to finish this last mission impossible, But I can't

501
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 4: finish it because.

502
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 3: The film is just on my mind.

503
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 4: So I have to once I get my computer, get

504
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 4: it all set up. Now I'm going through watching the

505
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 4: entire game, typing in my notes, coming back in the

506
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 4: next morning, watching it again.

507
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 3: So I wish I could watch a movie.

508
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 5: So how many times will you end up watching the

509
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 5: game before you end up meeting with your staff?

510
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 4: Before I meet with my staff, I'll watch it at

511
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 4: least at least two times, all right, sometimes three times.

512
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 4: Then I'll watch it again with the defense and offense

513
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 4: and special teams, each individual staff.

514
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 2: All right.

515
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: The Amagey Bank ask coach question of the week, Repid

516
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: Htown game coach, So another question about Houston for you?

517
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: Here you are in Htown and this is a big

518
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: age Town celebration on Sunday again. What makes h Town

519
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: so special to you? And has that changed evolved as

520
00:21:58,800 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: you've been here longer?

521
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 4: I think for me, the one thing that always stand

522
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 4: out about stands out about Acetown. It's just it's the people,

523
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 4: all right, this huge melting pot, all different people coming

524
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 4: together and everybody can have an opportunity to succeed here

525
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 4: in Houston. And it doesn't matter your background, right, And

526
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 4: just think about my neighborhood where I live, a lot

527
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 4: of different nationalities, a lot of different people, but it's

528
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 4: all love. And that's the cool part about Houston. And

529
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 4: that's why I think a lot of people are moving here.

530
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 4: They're migrating to Houston because of it's such a warm

531
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 4: and loving place and you can be successful in whatever

532
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 4: you do when you're gonna find good people, also good food,

533
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 4: gonna find good people who truly respect, love and care

534
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 4: for each other.

535
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 2: Outstanding coach, thanks a lot for joining us.

536
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 3: Good looks, guys.

537
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: There's a head coach, Tamiko Ryans now coming up, Johnny

538
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: and I will go over how tired we are just kidding?

539
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: Oh maybe we'll do some of that, but we're.

540
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: Gonna talk about the game at Seattle and what's to

541
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: come this week, what's it gonna take to get off.

542
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: Then I'd finally get this thing moving in the right direction.

543
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: It's Texans Radio here in the Hyundai Texans Radio Studio.

544
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: Mark Vandermin and John Harris with you Fresh as Rose

545
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: is following last night's game at Seattle, where we're not

546
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: crying here, We're.

547
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 2: Not singing the blues.

548
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: We're just pointing out that if we sound like we

549
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: don't make much sense, we have an alibi. We have

550
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: an alibi red eye, no sleep, that kind of thing.

551
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: That's our alibi for not making sensor, being incoherent, or

552
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: not putting together complete sentences as opposed to the way we.

553
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 2: Normally are, which you know we have no excuse for that. Yeah,

554
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 2: I think we're coherent most of the time. I think

555
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 2: we are.

556
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean a few questions with Demiko Ryans, I felt

557
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: like I was having an out of body experience and

558
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: I was looking down upon me asking the question hoping

559
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: everything's going well, Like I hope whatever's in my body

560
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: right now is asking the question. We can all relate

561
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: to that. We're just having fun with the long travel.

562
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: It was weird to finish a game so late, the

563
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: latest finish in franchise history, even a little bit later

564
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: than the Charger game in twenty thirteen, and just to

565
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: have the long flight back and everything and again no

566
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: singing the blues, just dealing with it because it's kind

567
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: of funny to me because we do these shows afterwards

568
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: and you never know what's gonna come out.

569
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 2: So here we are, John, Yeah, exactly.

570
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 5: I couldn't remember ever landing and getting on the bus

571
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 5: and driving back to the stadium in any sort of sunlight.

572
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: No, we've done this, We've done this. I want to

573
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: say twenty twelve for sure against the Patriots, that Monday

574
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: night er took forever back because I don't know why.

575
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: And I think maybe the Thursday night or one or

576
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: two of those Patriot primetime games that were during the

577
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: week because the Thursday night obviously you're coming back on Friday.

578
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: That was week three twenty sixteen, and you had the

579
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: twenty twelve game, which was Monday night, and I just

580
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: remember rolling back in with the rush hour traffic. Yeah,

581
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: so it's kind of interesting, like, hey, sorry we lost.

582
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: You know, you're waving everybody no less, I'm sorry about that.

583
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 5: The beginning to past time, it was, you know, Monday

584
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 5: night was Monday football is such a special night. But

585
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 5: I think it's just been so frustrating when we just

586
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 5: are are out of sorts and yeah, sure. We were

587
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 5: so out of sorts last night for I don't know why.

588
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 5: I litany of reasons.

589
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 2: You know.

590
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: Titus after the game mentioned complacency, which.

591
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 5: I which is weird, kind of raised eyebrows to like, ye,

592
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 5: what that is strange? And I think if that's you know,

593
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 5: if that's something that's happening on the offense, I'm like, Okay,

594
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 5: I don't think it's happening on defense. I don't think

595
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 5: it's happening on defense. I mean, those guys, they they

596
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 5: were putting some tough situations on Monday night and they

597
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 5: they battled and it wasn't perfect with jays n Is.

598
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: By the way, Jay Sen is a bad mofo Oh.

599
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 2: He's really good.

600
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 5: He smokes, he's and darnold, he's better than I think

601
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 5: people even expected. I thought coming out of college, I

602
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 5: thought he was going to be a really good NFL receiver.

603
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 2: He is a great wide receiver. There are a lot

604
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 2: of great there're a lot of good ones.

605
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 6: Now.

606
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're making a lot of good receivers, especially at

607
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 1: that university.

608
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 5: That university. Brian Hartline Holly smokes between Garrett Wilson, Chris Olav,

609
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 5: Marvin Harrison Junior JSN, I'll tell you right now, and

610
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 5: it's not recently biased. I think he's the best that

611
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 5: we've seen this year. No, Puka did it a different way,

612
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 5: and I feel like I don't want to take anything

613
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 5: away from Puka because Puoka is a badass. But Pouka,

614
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 5: I think gets helped out a little bit more than

615
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 5: mcveigh's scheme to get him open. I feel like JSN

616
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 5: is just so quick and so sudden that he makes

617
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 5: his own separation and the touchdown that he dunks on

618
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 5: the goalpost, I mean that ball is not thrown perfectly,

619
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 5: and because Sam is getting some pressure at that point

620
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 5: and Darnald just kind of puts it out there and

621
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 5: Jaysn kind of jumps, leaps, kind of pulls the ball

622
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 5: away during a game live. I really I don't know why.

623
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 5: Maybe because I just had a different angle on it.

624
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 5: I was like it was a good catch. When I

625
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 5: saw it on TV, I'm like, WHOA, that was actually

626
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 5: a more challenging catch that I thought, And it was a.

627
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: You're right that Darnald had to hurry that ball, but

628
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: he flamed that one in there. He did, and even

629
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: under confidence in him that he's going to make the

630
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: reception and he does. It's funny with JSN, Johnny, because

631
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned Puka. JSN. He's the kind of guy who

632
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: could and it was kind of like Andre Johnson used

633
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: to be. Sometimes you're like, he's not having a huge game,

634
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: is he? And then you look up and it's six

635
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: for one hundred touchdown or something, and you're thinking, oh,

636
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,239
Speaker 1: he is Jason. I'm not saying it wasn't like that

637
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: last night or it was like that last night, because

638
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: you know, two catches less would have been six. But JSN,

639
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: you know, he exploded a couple of times, but he

640
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: could have had five or six and gotten close to

641
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: the century mark. And I'm not saying it would have

642
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: been quiet, but you know what I mean, it's kind

643
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: of like a basketball player. You look up all of

644
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: a sudden, he's got twenty five thirty You're like, oh,

645
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: I didn't realize he was getting that many.

646
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 5: They put up they flashed up a stat in the

647
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 5: stadium up on their video board and said, and I

648
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 5: can't remember when it was the second half some time,

649
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 5: and they said, js N's the second seahawk I think

650
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 5: in history, three consecutive hundred yard games and he's had

651
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 5: eight catches in the last three games each and had.

652
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: Great receivers there. They had Locket and large March and DK.

653
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 5: I think DK metcalf was the one that he had tied,

654
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 5: so he is he's on its way. I was very

655
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 5: glad that he ended up in Seattle. We see him

656
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 5: every four years. He's tremendous. But I got to give

657
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 5: a lot of credit to Mike McDonald a defense. That

658
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 5: defense was locked in. They had guys playing on a

659
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 5: defense like Tyokatta and Drake Thomas, and they don't have

660
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 5: like the special you know, TJ.

661
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: Watt, Miles Garrett, like pass.

662
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 5: Rushers a line as special though, but they're together they

663
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 5: are really really good.

664
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and really good.

665
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 5: And with the Marcus Lawrence healthy that that changes things.

666
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 5: And they did not have tank when they played the Buccaneers.

667
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 5: So you take to Marcus Lawrence off that defense, you're like,

668
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 5: WHOA okay, now, boy, imf is a good player. He

669
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 5: got a strip sack that eventually was overturned because of holding.

670
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 5: But they they're they're similar to our defense in that

671
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 5: they take no bs. They you know, like they're just

672
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 5: physically gonna they're gonna physically demand that.

673
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: To beat them.

674
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 5: You're gonna have to exceed their physicality by such a

675
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 5: high level that they're only gonna be a few offensive

676
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 5: lines and offenses that do that, and ours was not that.

677
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 5: On Monday night, we did not answer them physically. We

678
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 5: again didn't score from the sixth inch line on a

679
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 5: Monday night football game.

680
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: We had third and one, fourth and one, So that

681
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: happened against the Bucks.

682
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: Happen against the Bucks. Yeah, uh? And then third and one,

683
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 2: fourth and one.

684
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 5: It's twenty to twelve, and to me, this is the

685
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 5: key spot in the game because after you've gotten back,

686
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 5: there's kind.

687
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: Of a key sequence to me.

688
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 5: After Will gets the fumble, which was a hell of

689
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 5: a play, he gets the phone, makes a touchdown, it's

690
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 5: seventeen twelve, and I'm like, man, if we get this

691
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 5: two point conversion, we're within three.

692
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 2: Ooh, now we're putting some pressure. You didn't get it.

693
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 5: You don't get the two. And then on a kickoff,

694
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 5: I can't remember who ran it back. I think it

695
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 5: was Horton. Treymont Smith pops out of the kickoff coverage

696
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 5: at about the twenty yard line, but he slips, so

697
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 5: Horton is able to get another fifteen to seventeen.

698
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: Yards up across the forty.

699
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 5: So then they take that you let's score a touchdown.

700
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 5: We hold them, but they kick a field goal. So

701
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 5: now it's twenty to twelve, so it's still trudging uphill,

702
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 5: but we're one score a touchdown at two, like we're

703
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 5: in this thing. CJ hits Dalton on second down and

704
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 5: I look across the field and I see the ref

705
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 5: on the Seahawks sidelines. He does this over his head,

706
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 5: kind of way too over his head, because I remember

707
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 5: I said, yah, got it, and then you said, yeah,

708
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 5: he's got the first down, and so then I see no,

709
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 5: the sticks are moving back and they're making it third

710
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 5: and one. And as soon as I mark, I swear

711
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 5: to you, as soon as I saw that, I was like,

712
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 5: oh no, and.

713
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: Third and one and we're saying, oh no.

714
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 5: It was just that I against that front. I just

715
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 5: felt like this, it's a man short yard is just

716
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 5: a bad matchup. And if you remember earlier in the

717
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 5: game thirty one, what do we do. We threw the

718
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 5: quick out the eco. Now Nico is still in the

719
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 5: game at that point, but third and one, fourth and one,

720
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 5: we don't get it. They get a short field. Now

721
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 5: they score a touchdown. Now they're up twenty seven to twelve.

722
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 5: And that to me, that that whole sequence was just

723
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 5: all about, you know, missed opportunities.

724
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: And that affected your play calling later when you got

725
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: that point blank range that troll line. Now we can't

726
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: run it right, So now we got to do other

727
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: stuff that didn't work because CJ gets strung out on

728
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: a play. You know what happened on fourth down, they

729
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: get the false start. Now it's fourth and goal at

730
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: the five, and it's all over. Yeah, and it's too

731
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: bad we're saying that it's all over. But they have

732
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: been really challenged to score points in the red zone.

733
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,959
Speaker 1: We all know that against the good team, even from

734
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: this far away.

735
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 2: Johnny, it's three.

736
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: Offensive touchdowns and the four losses. Correct, Oh, good question,

737
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: it is because they got two last night but one

738
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: offensive touchdown. They got none against the Rams. They had

739
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: one against the Buccaneers and one against the Jaguars.

740
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 5: Wait, we had two offensive touchdowns against the Bucks. Nico

741
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 5: had that deep ball and then Nick Chubbs run. Oh

742
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 5: that's right, Nick, too late, Okay, so that's four and four. Yeah,

743
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 5: but that's not I mean the culture scoring for every

744
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 5: single week out, don't matter who the culture playing, the

745
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 5: culture scoring four every week out. And you know they've

746
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 5: got a rookie tight end, they've got a quarterback.

747
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: Who's new, and yet they're together.

748
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 5: Yet they're they're scoring points out, you know, and look,

749
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 5: say what you will about They did it against the Raiders,

750
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 5: They did it against the Dolphins.

751
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 2: You have done it against some pretty sorry teams. You know.

752
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 5: People thought the Chargers were gonna be good and they

753
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 5: stuffed it right down to throw the charge did.

754
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: That was a game that I thought, Okay, they can

755
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: beat the Colts, but they wore those horrific uniforms and

756
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: I think that really derailed their chances of winning.

757
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: They're not intimidating. You can't wear yellow, full yellow. Why

758
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 2: not just wear all pink and see how that works.

759
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 2: I mean it just it's not gonna be.

760
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: A better message for Cancer Awareness Month instead of wearing

761
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: the yellow, which means nothing. It doesn't even look Charger ish.

762
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: It looks awful.

763
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 2: See.

764
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 5: I always think when we play the Raiders, and like

765
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 5: I said, Raiders, it's intimidating, but it's just you see

766
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 5: a silver and black, you're like, especially if you know

767
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 5: NFL history.

768
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, of course.

769
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: And you know, like this Sunday we have an opponent

770
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: like that. You seeform, You're thinking, okay, it's on.

771
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 5: And we don't see the forty nine uniform all that much.

772
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 5: You see it every four years, and so it's always

773
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 5: kind of cool when you see it.

774
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: I remember we are out in Santa.

775
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 5: Claire in twenty twenty one and we had just won

776
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 5: a couple games in a row and we're playing them,

777
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 5: and I remember Randon Cook scoring a touchdown to go

778
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 5: up on him.

779
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 2: I was like, holy cow. But man, that team was

780
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 2: low to a talent in twenty twenty one.

781
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 5: Fred Warner, that's a they played out of their mind

782
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 5: Sunday night. My hope is that Sunday afternoon they kind

783
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 5: of come back down to earth. Some of the enthusiasm

784
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,959
Speaker 5: is worn off road trip, road trip, playing a little

785
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 5: bit earlier in their body clock is used to and

786
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 5: maybe that pays off.

787
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 2: Put every break you can get.

788
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: You got a tremendous break, big picture, You got a

789
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: tremendous break when you played the Ravens the way they were. Yes,

790
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: that was a gift and you took advantage of it fully,

791
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: which was great. C j Stroud AFC Offensive Player of

792
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: the Week. Awesome, but you got to build on that momentum.

793
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: There's no way you could come out against Seattle.

794
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 2: The way you did. It's just not gonna work.

795
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: You can't do it. You can't have it. You can't

796
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: come out like that. And they know it, and it

797
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: kills me for Demiko, because they got it. They got

798
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: to just put their best foot forward, full throttle, whatever

799
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: cliche you want to use all the time. You get

800
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: to do this once a week and this is the

801
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: first time in fourteen fifteen days because you had to

802
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: buy in an extra day and they didn't do it.

803
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: And it just shocks me how difficult it can be

804
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 1: to score points. Look, I know the defense is far

805
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: from perfect, but you get four takeaways.

806
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, plus they scored a touchdown.

807
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: They scored a touchdown off one of them directly, and

808
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: you block the field goal. Your chances of winning in

809
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: that scenario and that parlay right there has got to

810
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 1: be ninety nine percent. So it's real tough to stomach

811
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: this one. You have no choice but to take it.

812
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: The four losses are all to good teams. I don't

813
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: know if the Jags are a good team.

814
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 2: Anymore.

815
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: But they were pretty decent when you were playing them,

816
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: and number one in the league and turnover margin and

817
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 1: all of that, and they beat But these four losses

818
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: all have a theme inability to execute offensively, especially in

819
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: the crunch, having an opportunity in the crunch and not

820
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: able to take advantage of it. I know that two

821
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: of the others have, even the Jags game and an

822
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: element of the Rams game too. You're unable to make

823
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: a late stop to get to the ball one more time,

824
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: But how many times can you ask them to.

825
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 2: Do this for you?

826
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: You have to reward that side of the football and

827
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: put it in the end zone a couple of times

828
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 1: to make things a little easier on them. They're under

829
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: immense duress and that thing. That's why I think it

830
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: leads to things. This is just a theory, psychological whatever.

831
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: It leads to things like asease what he did, or

832
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: stingy with the stiff arm face mask because you're trying

833
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: to do so much, make a statement, make something happen.

834
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if Asas is trying to knock Darnold

835
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 1: out of the game or what. Look he knows it's wrong.

836
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,399
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know I haven't talked to him

837
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 5: today about it, but it's got to be tough. I

838
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 5: walk down to get a drink in our cafeteria and

839
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 5: they have ESPN playing and Dania Rolovsky was talking and

840
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 5: I couldn't hear him. But because he was on the

841
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 5: broadcast last night, we saw him in the booth next

842
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 5: to you, guys, I waved till low. They posted a

843
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 5: They posted to me, what is a really telling number?

844
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 5: The Seahawks last night had ten pass breakups? And I

845
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 5: thought about that, and there's a line, there was a

846
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 5: there was another line underneath it. I think it was

847
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 5: probably like a it was like the high for them,

848
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 5: or so it was. It was a high number. We

849
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 5: shouldn't have a game where a defense has ten pass

850
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 5: breakups against us.

851
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: Cut that in half and it's a completely different situation.

852
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 5: So it makes you think, okay, well why were there

853
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 5: ten pass breakups? And then you know, and there's so

854
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 5: many there's so many aspects that go into that. You know,

855
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 5: receivers getting separation, Seahawks understanding route combinations and playing them

856
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 5: really well. I think there's a combination of all that.

857
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 5: But a defense should not have ten pass breakups against you,

858
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 5: and they in that unit did, and I'll give him credit.

859
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 5: They were playing without Julian Love and Devin Witherspoon. Good lord,

860
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 5: if they had those two guys. Now, the guys that

861
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 5: played in their in their stead, Nick Ming Worry and

862
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 5: Tyle Cotta, they were fantastic.

863
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were really flipping that. The rookie's gonna be good. Yeah. Oh,

864
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 2: even Warrior's a stud. Yeah. I mean, I thank god

865
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 2: he's over in the NFC.

866
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 5: I will love watching that dude get that pass breakup

867
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 5: he had on Nico. That's a route that that Nico

868
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 5: and CJ hit a lot, but they take advantage of

869
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 5: a linebacker or in that case, he was playing the

870
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 5: star or the safety because he's two thirty.

871
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 2: He's two thirty.

872
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 5: He measured two twenty seven round up to two thirty

873
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 5: at the combine ran four to three. So they can

874
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 5: play him like Cam Chancellor. They can play him down

875
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 5: in the box, they can play him from from death.

876
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 5: And so he did what our linebackers are having trouble doing.

877
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 5: There was a completion of JSN where we had two

878
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 5: guys that jumped the low route and JSM was run

879
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 5: high route. Our linebackers were not finding those other routes,

880
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 5: even worry took one look where he was exactly what

881
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 5: we're supposed to do, dropped right into coverage, and then

882
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 5: as soon as he got there, he made Nico pay

883
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 5: for going in his area. And that secondary and that

884
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 5: defense was just on top of.

885
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 2: Everything that else.

886
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: He starts with the line, Like you said, though, it

887
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: all starts with that line.

888
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 2: They are wonderful together.

889
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: Yes, they're really potent up front, and I believe that

890
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: that's a huge factor in the game. They might be

891
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: the MVP unit as far as I'm concerned. I know

892
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 1: Donald played well. He didn't play that well. I mean, look,

893
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: he threw a pick, FuMB on the end zone, fumbled,

894
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: you know, was not perfect to say the least. But

895
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: he made enough big throws and look what do they do.

896
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: They lead the league in explosives, right JSN Donald He

897
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 1: does that. So you look at the overall quarterback numbers,

898
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: a touchdown and a pick and it's not that sexy

899
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, but he makes the

900
00:39:58,800 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: big play when he has to.

901
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,720
Speaker 2: This offense and I don't know where it's going.

902
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: Look, they might flame out late in the regular season, playoffs, whatever,

903
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: but you lost to the Rams. You lost to them,

904
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,720
Speaker 1: you still have two more in the NFC West, starting

905
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: this Sunday against the forty nine Ers. Then you have

906
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: Denver's defense. Look, this is tough. This is a brutal schedule.

907
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have the Titans. You'd love to

908
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: play the Titans every week, but you got to wait

909
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: to get to the next three to get to them again.

910
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: And they're capable of giving somebody a game. You know,

911
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: it's just stop me, It's just you gotta win Sunday, Johnny.

912
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: Right now, big picture, you're two and four. You've been

913
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: two and five before and won a division. But that

914
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: was a miracle and it was an easier schedule. I

915
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: hate to use the word easier for its more palatable schedule,

916
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: and not as good a division, and not as good

917
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: a division. It was Hasslbeck in a diaper year, and

918
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: you had a situation where you could claw your way

919
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: back into it. Now you got a long way to

920
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 1: go here. You've got to win one game and that Sunday.

921
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: And I feel like we've been saying this for a

922
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: lot of weeks when you started out zero and three

923
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: and everything, but you cannot afford to go three games

924
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: below five hundred again, right, this is a chance to

925
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: start climbing out of it again. You've got another opportunity,

926
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: take advantage of it.

927
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 2: On Sunday, the.

928
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 5: NFC West Rams five and two. In fact, the Rams

929
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 5: have won the AFC South. They beat everybody in the

930
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 5: AFC South plus the Ravens, the only two losses the

931
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 5: hour at NFC teams, and they actually.

932
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 2: Shouldn't have lost those games. The forty nine Ers are

933
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 2: five and two.

934
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: And they've been five and two with all the injuries

935
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: and mac Jones playing a bunch. And the Seahawks are

936
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: five and two and we just saw them up close.

937
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 5: Those are three of the top ten teams and we've

938
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 5: well we've played two of them, will play the third

939
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 5: one on Sunday.

940
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: On Sunday and then you play a Denver team.

941
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 2: That's good. Yeah, they're five and two.

942
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 5: I mean head to score thirty three points in the

943
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 5: fourth quarter, which I break down in matchup coming up later.

944
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 5: But the bo Nicks is finding ways to win. You know,

945
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 5: they should have beaten the Colts. They should be six

946
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 5: and one. Honestly, well you could say that they should

947
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 5: have lost to the Giants too. I mean that's that's ridiculous.

948
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 5: That was one of the five I mean five to two.

949
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 5: So it this schedule doesn't let up. It doesn't let up.

950
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,919
Speaker 5: There's another Titans game, there's Raiders and Cardinals down the road,

951
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 5: but you're playing a first play schedule, so you don't

952
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 5: get the you know, like the Jaguars get to play

953
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 5: the Jets.

954
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: I think I'm crazy here, and we can talk more

955
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: about it as the week progresses. I think you have

956
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: everything in the toolbox. You just have to use the

957
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: tools the right way. And I think they got to

958
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: come together and make this all work out. They got

959
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: enough talent. They have enough talent to win these games.

960
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: They're not executing. It sounds I sound like a coach.

961
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: Now you got to execute.

962
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 2: But it's true.

963
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: You know, they say these things because they're right that

964
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: you gotta do it the correct way, the way they

965
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: draw it up. Tomko talked about seeing things in practice

966
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 1: that did make their way onto the field. They got

967
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: to figure that out otherwise it's completely on them. I mean,

968
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 1: Demiko said it's on me, which I know coaches get

969
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: a lot of grief for that, but that's what the

970
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: head coach is. He's the final layer of accountability when

971
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: it comes to the football game being operated.

972
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 5: And Sunday you'll face a forty nine Ers defense without

973
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 5: Nick Boson, without Fred Warner.

974
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 2: Good.

975
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 5: Now, talk about McCaffrey and Kittle. Geez, yeah, now you

976
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 5: gotta face them. Yeah, But we know as well as

977
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 5: anybody the issue on Monday night was not the defense.

978
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 5: This offense has got to start finding physicality from play

979
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 5: one to play sixty five.

980
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely all right.

981
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: On the way out, c J Stratt a couple of

982
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: things that he had to say, and then we'll get

983
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: you ready for Texans matchup tonight. It's Texans All Access,

984
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: final segment of the night here on Texans Radio. Following

985
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: the Texans loss at Seattle last night, twenty seven to nineteen.

986
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: I was going to say, so close yet so far

987
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: with that score, but it felt farther away than that

988
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: score might indicate in many ways. Yet you were there

989
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 1: with chances to win short yardage especially difficult for the offense,

990
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: third and short, fourth and short, and then down at

991
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: the goal line, inches away, Unable to put it across

992
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 1: and get things done on that side of the football.

993
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: Defense not perfect, but made a lot of plays, got

994
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: a lot of takeaways for you four of them. You

995
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: also blocked the field goal. You know the rest of

996
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: the story. You made plays all over the place, but

997
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: you gave things up as well. You had the ten penalties.

998
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: It really hurt to see the team play that way,

999
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: and everybody wants to get over it fast. The only

1000
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,240
Speaker 1: way to do that is with a victory Sunday against

1001
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: San Francisco.

1002
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 2: What's it going to take?

1003
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: We'll continue with that conversation as the week progresses here,

1004
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:31,280
Speaker 1: but here's CJ. Stroud after the game about the Houston offense.

1005
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: What's up? What's it going to take? What was it

1006
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 1: like against Seattle?

1007
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 6: The type offense we're running is like you know, like

1008
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 6: I told you all this about deathbout thousand cuts and

1009
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 6: sometimes you when you live by the sport, it's hard

1010
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 6: because you know you're not taking a bunch of deep

1011
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:48,959
Speaker 6: downfield shots, but you're asked to be you know, really

1012
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 6: good on first second down time and time and time again,

1013
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 6: and something that we just got to get better at.

1014
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 6: It's still new to a lot of us, but yeah,

1015
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 6: I definitely think, you know, we can be better at that,

1016
00:44:58,800 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 6: and none to definitely hope.

1017
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: The other one from CJ. Stroud here Nico Collins with

1018
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: the concussion last night, had to leave the game. Who

1019
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: knows about Sunday. Christian Kirk injured last week with the

1020
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: hamstring problem in practice, who knows about him Sunday. Here's

1021
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: CJ talking about life without Nico. What are they going

1022
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: to be able to do?

1023
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gonna be tough. You know, he's our past

1024
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 6: player offense. You know, he's one of the best players

1025
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 6: in the league time and time again. And we also

1026
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 6: got to find ways to get the ball, you know,

1027
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 6: in better situations. So that starts with me, you know,

1028
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 6: trying to get us in the right looks. But yeah,

1029
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 6: I just it will suck. But hopefully, you know, he'll

1030
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,439
Speaker 6: be okay, and you know we have a short week.

1031
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 6: But if not, we got to just step up in

1032
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 6: other ways and you know, put more you know, my

1033
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 6: play hopefully to try to you know, help us out.

1034
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 1: A couple of cuts there from CJ after the game,

1035
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: and CJ was coming off that AFC Offensive Player of

1036
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: the Week performance against the Baltimore Ravens, So you have

1037
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: to hope that they get back to that form collectively

1038
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 1: on Sunday at noon against the forty nine ers. It's

1039
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: repping eight each town day. The following game will be

1040
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: against the Broncos and that is Legend's homecoming and that's

1041
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: the day they put Janis McNair into the Ring of

1042
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: Honor with Bob McNair and I'm looking forward to all

1043
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 1: of that. And a week from tonight, we're going to
