1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:01,760
Speaker 1: What is happened to everybody?

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: Welcome into a TGIFF addition, a playoff addition of Texans

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: All Access. I'm your host, John Harris, football analyst, and

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: we are less than twenty four hours away from kickoff

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: at M and T Banks Stadium where the Ravens are

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: waiting for the Texans. Now, as you probably can figure out,

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: very similar to our trip to Indianapolis when we beat

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: the former Baltimore team, the former Baltimore Colts, the Indianapolis Colts.

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: We are in Baltimore.

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 3: As we speak, getting ready to take on the Ravens.

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: So this recorded.

12
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: We did a lot of this ahead of time, needed

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: to had to do it on Friday morning.

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: But bear with me.

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 3: There's plenty here that we can discuss, and we're going

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 3: to discuss, and it's a jam pack show. We're gonna

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: hear from Dimico Ryans in just a little bit.

18
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: We are also going to hear from Chris Kiffin, linebacker

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: coach for your Hue Texans and yes, brother of Lane Kiffin's,

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: son of Monte Kiffin, longtime defensive coordinator in the NFL.

21
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: We've also got a little pregame interview with Jonathan Grenard

22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: with Drew Doherty and Drew's also got a Drew's dozen

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: with Jag fifty two as well. Drew and I are

24
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: going to go in the lab. We'll give you cream

25
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 2: and the croppers and a couple of stories and story

26
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: time that pertain to this team and haircuts, so you

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: have to figure out what that's all about, and then

28
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 2: we're gonna go Dimico reloaded at the end of the show.

29
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: The last thing you'd like to be able to hear

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: is the head coach of your Houston Texans, who has

31
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: been a superstar in the last twenty four hours now,

32
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: we've known to be going to be a superstar in

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: many many ways. But I think people around the country

34
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: are finding out, and maybe even people in Houston are

35
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: finding out how much of a stud Demico Ryans actually

36
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: is as a leader, as a coach, as a football savant.

37
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: He's got it all. And we are very, very lucky.

38
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: When you look around the state and you look around

39
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: other locations and you see what NFL teams have as

40
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: a head coach, a leader of that organization pales in

41
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: comparison to what we got going on here. You got

42
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: the head coach, you got the GM, You've got the

43
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: quarterback that can put it all together to go win

44
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl this year. Hopefully, man, hopefully we've got

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: enough to go toe to toe with the so powerful Ravens.

46
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, they've just walloped everybody. But yeah, we're

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: gonna have our work cut out, there's no doubt. On

48
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: Saturday against the Baltimore Ravens, a number one seed in

49
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: the AFC lost four times, really three times. However, they

50
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: lost three times to three teams. The Texas beat the Steelers,

51
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: the Colts, and the Browns. And as my man, Landry

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: Locker said today on End the Loop, if you miss us,

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: if we win this game, then we're the Kings of

54
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: the North too.

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: We would have beaten all AFC North teams.

56
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 2: We got three down, we got one to go, and

57
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: if you want to go up further, it's week three

58
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: of the revenge Tour. First it was the Danapolis coach.

59
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: We avenged Week two's loss. Now we had the Cleveland Browns,

60
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: we avenged the Week sixteen loss. Now it's time to

61
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: avenge the Week one loss to the Baltimore Ravens. And

62
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: the man that will lead this team into that football

63
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 2: battle is to Mieko Ryan's he caught up with Mark

64
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: Vanamire and here that.

65
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 4: Is coach, You've been good against the run this year

66
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 4: and this team runs it a lot and very well,

67
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: but it's different with Lamar Jackson. How tough of a

68
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 4: challenge is that?

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 5: A tough talent is when you have the quarterback who

70
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 5: can run the ball, they make you play truly eleven

71
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 5: on eleven football, right, So now you have to involve

72
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 5: your post safety into the run fits, or the quarterback

73
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 5: pulls the ball, your safety has to show up. He

74
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 5: has to make his presence known in the run fits.

75
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 5: So it's tough playing Lamar, right, and it starts with him,

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 5: and they have some guests work there because sometimes he's

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 5: pulling it, but he's not pulling it as often as

78
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 5: you would think. So really, with those running like we

79
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 5: have to do a really good job of how I

80
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 5: call it defended from inside out. We want to make

81
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 5: them run loaterly to the sideline and utilize our speed

82
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 5: to get them down.

83
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: How tough is it to impersonate Lamar Jackson on the

84
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 4: look team?

85
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 5: Hell case tried this week, but that's a tough impersonation.

86
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 5: But you see the looks on Faim The biggest thing

87
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 5: is right when he pulls the ball right, how many

88
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 5: guys can we get to him right? That's the biggest thing.

89
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 5: When Lamar has made plays, it's been one on one

90
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 5: tackles and I tell goy, you're not going to tackle

91
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 5: him one on one. We need guys set in the

92
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 5: edge forcing him to cut back inside to our defensive

93
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 5: line and hopefully we can get a big hit on

94
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 5: him and take the ball away.

95
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: What about in coverage, deep coverage, maybe Flowers the tight

96
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 4: ends very dangerous.

97
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, very dangerous at all. The skill of position. It

98
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 5: starts with Flowers. He has the speed, he's dynamic, he

99
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 5: can beat you down the field. But where they hang

100
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 5: their hat the most is on the RPO games where

101
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 5: they're throwing them the bubble screens. And he's a very

102
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 5: shifty guy and he does a really great job of

103
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 5: cutting back inside. So again what we call tracking, guys

104
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 5: have to do a really great job of tracking inside

105
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 5: out versus Flowers tight end Andrews. If he plays, he

106
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 5: is definitely a big target and our safeties and our

107
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 5: linebackers will have a good matchup there versus him. And

108
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 5: the biggest thing with Lamar and their skill position. Is

109
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 5: Lamar starts to scramble, he starts to improvise, we have

110
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 5: to plaster plaster. You have to cover the man closest

111
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 5: to you and cover him as long as as long

112
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 5: as you have to, right, and that'll be the biggest

113
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 5: thing in our d line really has to stay after

114
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 5: Lamar and have that second effort to get him down.

115
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 4: What about attacking their defense running game last time, It's

116
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 4: a completely different deal. Now you have a running game

117
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 4: you can work with against the Ravens.

118
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, the teams that have beaten the Ravens, they've ran

119
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 5: the ball for thirty plus rushers. So and that's where

120
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 5: it starts. More controlling the tempole of the game. Right, Really,

121
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 5: if it's three, that's okay, but you have to stay

122
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 5: after it. You have to continue to stay after it

123
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 5: with the running game. And that's if we run the ball, well,

124
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 5: that's our chance to win the game. So it's gonna

125
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 5: start their motor and our offensive line has done a

126
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 5: great job over the past couple of weeks. We have

127
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 5: to have another great out and versus this team. Tough

128
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 5: run team started with their D line, big guys up

129
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 5: front that we have to try to move their linebackers

130
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 5: do a great job playing sideline a sideline.

131
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna ask you about that because off

132
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 4: the edge they have dangerous people and CJ's got to

133
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 4: be aware. But up the middle, Pierce and those guys

134
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 4: in the rotation very tough.

135
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's where that's the strength of their defense, right,

136
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 5: it's up the middle of the two interior guys. They're big,

137
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 5: strong guys who can really press the pocket. When we're

138
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 5: talking about the passing game, but also in a run game,

139
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 5: how do you move these guys off their spot. It's

140
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 5: going to take a lot of effort. We have to

141
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 5: be really great on our combination blocks, our double teams.

142
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 5: We really have to work to move these guys.

143
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 4: Coach, I will not ask you about cold weather, but

144
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 4: what about the win? How much did it help you

145
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 4: working in some of the win you had this week

146
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 4: at practice with the kicking game, man passing game.

147
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, the win, the win, that's the biggest factor. It

148
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 5: doesn't matter about the cold but the win. If it's

149
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 5: not too windy and you can feel like, you know,

150
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 5: you can throw the ball fairly decent, and it's not

151
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 5: a factor. The kicking game will always be, you know,

152
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 5: an issue with the win, whether it's field goals or

153
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 5: punting the ball, just being able to feel the punts.

154
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 5: It will be a huge factor in a game, so

155
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 5: you have to go out and test it early. Hopefully

156
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 5: the win is it's not too bad, and hopefully we

157
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 5: do a great job of just being locked in and

158
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 5: being focused right on protecting the football. Coach, thanks a

159
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 5: lot for their time, good luck.

160
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 3: Thanks Mark, tremendous stuff as always from our guy, Tomko

161
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: Ryans Now.

162
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: Demiko knows linebackers. He knows football, You knows defense. Chris

163
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: Kiffin does as well, and Chris is the linebackers coach,

164
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 2: and obviously he and Demko will talk a lot about

165
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: what's happening at that position. But I think the linebackers

166
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: have made significant strides, significant strides this year.

167
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: We had a good time.

168
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: It's the first time we've had Chris Kiffin and studio.

169
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: Hopefully it's not the last because he was tremendous. And

170
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: it's also the first time and Mark and I have

171
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: been doing this for ten years. I don't think we've

172
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: ever interviewed brothers before. We had Lane Kiffin last year

173
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: when he was here for the Taxak Texas Bowl and

174
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: Now we got Chris Kiffin livebackers coach for yours, for

175
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: your Texans.

176
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: Let's catch you up with Chris right here.

177
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 4: All right with us now the Hot Day Texans Radio Studio.

178
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 4: It's Texans linebackers coach, Chris Kiffin coach. How's it going today?

179
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 5: Very good?

180
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 6: Just got off the practice field, getting ready for a

181
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 6: big time matchup Saturday.

182
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 4: Off the practice field feeling fresh and warm. So you

183
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 4: think it helps what you've been through this week so

184
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 4: far with some of the cold weather to get ready

185
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 4: for whatever you're facing in Baltimore?

186
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 5: Or does it not really matter that much? I really

187
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 5: think it does.

188
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 7: You know.

189
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 6: I think that'd be an advantage for them if we

190
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 6: were down here in eighty degrees every day and then

191
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 6: get up there and get complete shocks. So I think,

192
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 6: you know, having it roughly the same weather about thirty

193
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 6: degrees today, you know, I think that's really good, especially

194
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 6: for catching balls and those guys just getting acclimated to

195
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 6: the things they have to do.

196
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: Okay, we're gonna ask you a little bit more just

197
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: a second, but I just thought of something. What's that

198
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 3: We've done a lot of interviews in our ten years together.

199
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, have we ever interviewed brothers. I don't know.

200
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 4: Well, we had look, we had Bobby Slowian can here. Okay, yeah,

201
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 4: so old brothers at the same time. Oh, because we

202
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 4: interviewed Lane.

203
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: Last, view Lane last year, but he was here for

204
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: the ball or interviewing christ this is the first.

205
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, we got a couple of brothers coach with

206
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 5: your linebacker crew this year.

207
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 3: When you think about week one playing in Baltimore Ravens

208
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: and how they're playing right now, what's been kind of

209
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: the biggest change you think over the season from your group.

210
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 6: Wow, I mean it just feels like so long ago.

211
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 6: We were laughing about it today in the meeting room

212
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 6: looking at the you know when we watch that tape together,

213
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 6: just the growth, you know, of all the guys, but

214
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 6: really the growth within the system. You know, it was

215
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 6: our first year in the system. Yeah, we had the

216
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 6: spring and OTAs and whatnot in training camp, but even then,

217
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 6: that's your first real game playing in Baltimore with those guys,

218
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 6: and then you know, coming off the game, we just

219
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 6: had at Cleveland to see some of the growth, Like

220
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 6: you know, of course, Christian Harris, like it's just a

221
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 6: completely different player from week one to week nineteen or

222
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 6: whatever it is. So that's what I've been excited to see.

223
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 6: And then, you know, and that that gives them confidence

224
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 6: going into this matchup. You know, like, holy cow, look

225
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 6: how far we've come. Let's go give it our best shot.

226
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: Ye what about Blake cash Man and what he's meant

227
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 4: to the linebacking core coach?

228
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you know, he really surprised us early

229
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 6: on when he had you know, a breakout game, so

230
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 6: to say, against Jacksonville and made some plays. And then

231
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 6: you know, he's just really giving us a lot of

232
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 6: flexibility play Sam linebacker and base. He's had to play

233
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 6: Mike linebacker a number of times when guys get banged up.

234
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 6: And then really he's kind of evolved as our third

235
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 6: down middle linebacker, you know, in coverage and and he's

236
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 6: got a knack for Russian I think, you know, against

237
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 6: the Saints there's a number of times where he hit

238
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 6: the quarterback Blitzen. So he gives us a lot of

239
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 6: flexibility and uh, and it's been great to see.

240
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 7: Coach.

241
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 3: I want to go back to Christian a little bit

242
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 3: thinking about that because I've we've talked about that a lot.

243
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: You know, what guys look like in Week one versus now,

244
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 3: and it feels like the confidence for Christian has just.

245
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 5: Grown and grown and grown and grown. And whether that

246
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 5: was he.

247
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 3: Was making plays and that fed his confidence or he

248
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: just got more comfortable in the system. What's kind of

249
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 3: fed in your opinion, Christian growth. Really, it's about halfway

250
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: through the year. I mean, he's just been tremendous.

251
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's just it's just the reps over

252
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 6: and over and over again, just sharpening his sword. Like

253
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 6: you know, I've had so many guys rotate in and

254
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 6: out of positions, and it's just he has been the

255
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 6: mainstay at will, linebacker, in base in nickel all season long, Like,

256
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 6: has not missed a snap for injury, knock on wood.

257
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 6: He's just been out there every single day and in

258
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 6: the meeting room like he's locked in. He's trying to

259
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 6: get better, he's trying to learn. It means so much

260
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 6: to him. And you know, to see again to talk

261
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 6: about that pick six the other day, like just the

262
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 6: excitement from his teammates. You know, we saw Sting was

263
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 6: the first one to react on the field and then

264
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 6: the sideline obviously, and everybody's so happy for him because

265
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 6: you know that play just came to life for him.

266
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, linebackers coach Chris Kiffin joining us in studio. As

267
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 4: a linebacker, you have to be this ferocious, go destroy

268
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 4: the ball carrier type of player and also, oh, by

269
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 4: the way, cover the tight end while you're at it

270
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 4: and be good at it. How hard is it to

271
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 4: the balance that while you're teaching them and for them

272
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 4: to execute that.

273
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think that's the excitement about playing

274
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 5: the position. You know you're in.

275
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 6: You're involved in every single play, so to say so,

276
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 6: and especially in our scheme. You know, our scheme asked

277
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 6: them to cover certain routes. Uh so we say slow

278
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 6: till you know in the run game to make sure

279
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 6: that you know it's run first. We don't really play

280
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 6: downhill as linebackers in this system. But that's that's the

281
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 6: tough part, you know, to get them to learn that.

282
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 6: And sometimes, you know, it catches them and and they

283
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 6: fall off the cliff we say and things like that.

284
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 6: But when they do know, now it's time to trigger.

285
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 6: You got to go get wet and get a TfL

286
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 6: make it play in the run game.

287
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 3: Coach Christian, still a young player in his second year,

288
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 3: you know, Blake's been around a few years. What is

289
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 3: Denzel Perriman meant through the linebacker room? Having having been around.

290
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 3: I know he's been banged up. I know there's aspen suspension,

291
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff. But what has he meant

292
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 3: to the linebacker room in their linebacker core this year?

293
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 6: Just the toughness, the style of play, the physicality, the

294
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 6: mindset of a eighth, ninth year pro that plays linebacker

295
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 6: the way it should be played. You know, you can

296
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 6: call him old school linebacker, right, Like that's the Yeah,

297
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 6: that's the downhill linebacker. We're just discussing. But you know,

298
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 6: and he, like you said, he's had some adversity this year,

299
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 6: and you know, he's just consistent again and here he

300
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 6: is helping us out at the end of the season,

301
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 6: starting for us, playing meaning football. You know, can't say

302
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 6: enough about him, and he's been great for the young guys.

303
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 6: You know, he sits next to Henry in the meeting

304
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 6: room and Henry's always picking his brain on this and that.

305
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 6: And he's been in a lot of different systems, so

306
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 6: just a lot of knowledge there and he's been a

307
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 6: pro for us all year.

308
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's it like being the linebackers coach, playing or

309
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 4: coaching for Damico Ryans. I got to think it's like

310
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 4: being the tight ends coach in Detroit and Dan Campbell's

311
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 4: the head coach. You know, the head coach knows a

312
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 4: lot about coaching your position and playing your position.

313
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 5: That's right.

314
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 6: They say that's good news, bad news, all right, Yeah,

315
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 6: but no, it's been awesome for me, you know, just

316
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 6: to even going back to the spring just to hear him,

317
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 6: you know, teach the linebackers, and every time he speaks

318
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 6: to them. You know, I'm trying to steal a nugget

319
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 6: here and there because you know, he's played it.

320
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 5: Like you said, he's coached the.

321
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 6: System for a long time and and just can't say

322
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 6: enough about him his leadership. Those guys gravitate towards him

323
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 6: and his knowledge of the system. Like it's just incredible

324
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 6: for everybody coach.

325
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: This week is Baltimore again. You talked about watching that

326
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: Week one game. A lot of things, a lot of

327
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: problems they create because of what Lamar can do, Gus

328
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: Edwards a downhill runner, all that kind of stuff. What's

329
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 3: probably the biggest chore in slowing them down, especially for

330
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: your guys A linebacker.

331
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, linebackers just finding the ball. There's only one ball,

332
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 6: and they're gonna do a lot of misdirection, a lot

333
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 6: of polling guards, a lot of you know, they bring

334
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 6: number forty two in full back, and there's just so much.

335
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 6: Somebody used to describe it as trying to read a

336
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 6: book with somebody waving a hand in front of the book.

337
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 6: You know, like there's a lot of window dressing. So

338
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 6: there's one ball. We got to find that ball, and

339
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 6: we got to run and we got to get it.

340
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 6: And if you do that consistently, you're going to eliminate

341
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 6: the explosive plays. And you know, there's a lot of

342
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 6: things to discuss. And obviously number four is playing at

343
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 6: a really high level for them, and he's gonna be

344
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 6: a key to to our defense stopping him, I think,

345
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 6: you know, and obviously lamar, So we gotta stop the

346
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 6: run game first. We got eliminate the explosive plays, and

347
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 6: then if we just play our discipline style, you know,

348
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 6: we're gonna have fun doing it.

349
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 4: I know it's been a long time, many weeks, maybe

350
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 4: twenty of them, since it was ones versus ones in practice,

351
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 4: and I don't know how you handle all the inner

352
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 4: workings because we only see a portion of it. But

353
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 4: what about this Houston offense and how it's evolved.

354
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 5: And your observations from your side of the.

355
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 4: Football, because I got to think everybody gets fired up

356
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 4: about explosive plays and the way the quarterback is playing

357
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 4: and all of that.

358
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, just it's incredible, honestly to watch it

359
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 6: from the get go, and then just to think of

360
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 6: all the games and like my mind immediately goes to

361
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 6: the Tampa game and the end and then you know,

362
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 6: CJ's even Indianapolis when we you know, we didn't play

363
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 6: well on defense the first time we played him, and

364
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 6: all of a sudden that it was like the first time,

365
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 6: You're like, holy cow. They still threw for over three

366
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 6: hundred like in the come second half, comeback, And it's

367
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 6: just been fun to watch all the positions. You know

368
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 6: that the marriage of the run game in the past game.

369
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 6: You know, you think, well, how are they going to

370
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 6: keep falling for play actions?

371
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 5: But they do. They keep working and it's awesome. There's

372
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 5: never a dull moment.

373
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 6: We're on the sideline coaching up our guys, getting ready

374
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 6: for the next series, and they're all looking at that

375
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 6: jumbo trunk because they don'tant they don't want to miss

376
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 6: a play of the excitement.

377
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: Coach, there's there's a photo of and I can't remember

378
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 3: who all is involved in the photo, but it's the

379
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 3: moment that Tyler Goodson drops the pass on fourth down

380
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 3: against Indianapolis in week eighteen. And I want to say,

381
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 3: it's like you, It's Matt Burt, it's Demico Frank Ross,

382
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 3: and you all seeming to have the same sort of

383
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 3: look on your face, like, oh my gosh, I can't

384
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: believe what just happened.

385
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 5: Do you remember that moment?

386
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: And can you take us through kind of what you're

387
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 3: thinking at that particular moment.

388
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 5: I do.

389
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 6: Coach Bowling sent me that text me that picture last night. Yeah,

390
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 6: and it is an unbelievable picture. And I do remember,

391
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 6: right because that that was a long drive they were

392
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 6: going down. We had missed the extra point, right yep,

393
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 6: And so right, wrong or indifferent, it's human nature to

394
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 6: start thinking, oh wow, they're getting close, you know, to

395
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 6: winning this game.

396
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 7: Yea.

397
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 6: And and you know, I remember there's a big stop

398
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 6: on third and three or third and two to make

399
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 6: that furth and two yep, which really ends up being

400
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 6: the play of the game now looking back, and then

401
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 6: that fourth and two, you know, they got us in

402
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 6: the call and I remember Demiko saying, oh gosh, it's FNX.

403
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 5: It's FNX.

404
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, Cash, and then all of a sudden ball snap

405
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 6: and it's incomplete.

406
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 5: It was just the moment. It was just surreal. It

407
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 5: was awesome. Chris.

408
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 4: It's been a while since you coached in college. Your

409
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 4: brother still is obviously. How happy are you that you

410
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 4: don't have to deal with that il and recruiting anymore?

411
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 4: But that is a reality for his side of the business.

412
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 4: But you recruited, you coached in college for a number

413
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 4: of years. What is the difference to you as you

414
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 4: see it now being in the NFL.

415
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 6: Oh, it's my brother actually says it's a different sport.

416
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 6: Whenever we talk about it, they call it a different sport.

417
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 5: It is.

418
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 6: It's just so different the way it's gone. And you know,

419
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 6: it's been six years now, so I'm so out of

420
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,479
Speaker 6: touch of all the rule changes and this and that.

421
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 6: But you know, at the end of the day, you

422
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 6: know those guys, and I'm coaching my guys now and

423
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 6: I still now I think that they're so young and

424
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 6: I look at Christian Harrison like he was just at

425
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 6: Alabama getting coached by Sament for four years, right, and

426
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 6: it's like it's all the same at the end of

427
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 6: the day, especially with coaching, like you want to help

428
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 6: these guys develop, whether they're in high school, college, or

429
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 6: we're now in the NFL, as young adults who want

430
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 6: to help them develop and be the best they can be.

431
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 6: And that's what we learned from our father, you know,

432
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 6: and we always took that that's the best side of

433
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 6: coaching is developing these guys.

434
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 5: You kind of stole my thunder a little bit.

435
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask you that being a coach's kid

436
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 3: myself growing up and growing up, did you talk anything

437
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 3: but ball? And now when the Kiff and family gets together,

438
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 3: is that what you guys talk? Do you get kind

439
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 3: of the well family's doing, Okay, family's good. Okay, let's

440
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: talk ball. And then that's where you guys have the

441
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 3: long discussions.

442
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 6: Yes, it's always been that way for as long as

443
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 6: I can remember. And our father is eighty three now,

444
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 6: and so he tends to tell the same stories a

445
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 6: couple of times, so we're getting used to the same

446
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 6: old Nebraska stories.

447
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 5: Of his glory days. But no, it's great and I

448
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 5: want to change it for the world. Awesome. Well, coach,

Speaker 8: moment last week against the Browns here at a n RG stadium.

461

Speaker 9: Just walking out and seeing the fans when we ran

462
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 9: out the sunnel. I think we've been here and we've

463
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 9: seen the regular season games and they show up. But

464
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 9: they finally show up, mainly show up in like the

465
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 9: end of the first quarter going into the second quarter.

466
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 9: You know, people come in from tailgate, you know, everybody's

467
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 9: just getting on their own time. But this game, man,

468
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 9: they were there packed out from the jump. And that's

469
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 9: when as soon as we're walking out of tunnel.

470
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 7: We look and you see literally everything is just that environment.

471
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 9: It's just it's like that college environment again when it

472
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 9: was on a Saturday game.

473
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 7: That was amazing.

474
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 9: I think I've been waiting on that feeling to get

475
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 9: our foot in the playoffs and actually see how that

476
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 9: environment is. That's best feelings I've been a part of

477
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 9: since playing football in general.

478
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I was thinking about you because I still think

479
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 8: back you started as a rookie when we're in COVID

480
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 8: the first game that was played here there. It was

481
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 8: against the Ravens actually, and there were no fils. That

482
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 8: had to be so weird, and it's so big a

483
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 8: gulf between what you saw then and what I saw

484
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 8: on Saturday.

485
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I remember watching that game my rookie

486
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 9: year from the box because even then we weren't allowed

487
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 9: to be on the stand, being on the sideline, So

488
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 9: being in a box and seeing us play at a

489
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 9: game that felt like a glorified scrimmage, you know, to

490
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 9: nobody's in the sands. To now you're looking up and

491
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 9: there's literally seventy thousand people in there, you know. So

492
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 9: it's a rewarding feeling just because it makes you understand

493
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 9: what it feels like to go through the grind. You know,

494
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 9: obviously we can't control COVID and all those things throughout

495
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 9: the years. But now that we're actually have a chance

496
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 9: to be able to control own destiny and have the

497
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 9: fans and actually sees the opportunity in the moment that

498
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 9: that has provided for us whenever these big games come about. Man,

499
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 9: that was the best feeling. I mean to see the

500
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 9: fans going absolutely ridiculous. And then obviously we had the

501
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 9: two pick sixes. That was kind of like the big highlight.

502
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 9: Then when we had to back to back pick sixes,

503
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 9: I said, one, I've never been a part of any

504
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 9: back to back pick six situation.

505
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 7: And then obviously to see the.

506
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 9: Crowd how they responded to that, I mean, you just

507
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 9: knew the game was over once we did that last

508
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 9: second one.

509
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 7: So it's definitely good.

510
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 8: Lots of Haymakers landed on all sides of the ball.

511
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 8: This is a hot Texans team. You're throwing special teams

512
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 8: as well. How hot are the Houston Texans right now?

513
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 9: I think we're just playing our best ball at the

514
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 9: best time. And I'm still saying that we still have

515
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 9: room to improve. I mean, obviously we're still talking about

516
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 9: playoff ball, where you should have everything figured out, but

517
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 9: nobody has it figured out. I mean, ultimately, no one's perfect,

518
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 9: because that's what we're all chasing. You have very good teams,

519
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 9: but at the same time, it's about at this point,

520
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 9: who's going to make the least amount of mistakes, who

521
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 9: could come out, who's going to have the healthiest team

522
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 9: going into it. You know, you have to be in

523
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 9: the best shape and the best trim that you'll be

524
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 9: able to go out there and fight and play your best.

525
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 9: But ultimately, this is where mistakes. You can't have any

526
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 9: oops moments anymore, you know, So that's the name of

527
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 9: the game at this point. You don't obviously not go

528
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 9: out there to not lose, but go out there and

529
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 9: try to minimize the mistakes as much as you can

530
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 9: so that way you can set yourself up.

531
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 7: So we look forward to doing that.

532
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 9: I mean, I think that's that's what we continue to

533
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 9: hold on every weekend or every week beforehand, is always

534
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 9: what are we clear, what could we clean up that

535
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 9: we've made from our mistakes, not.

536
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 7: Necessarily what they're doing.

537
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 9: I mean, we tip our hats when we need to

538
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 9: but a lot of the things that that happened to us,

539
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 9: whether it's a big play or big run, whatever the

540
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 9: case may be, is more so self inflicted. So once

541
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 9: we kind of start to clean those up and see

542
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 9: how we can really affect the game when we take

543
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 9: those out of the game, it made it the game

544
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 9: much more fun to go into it because we know

545
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 9: what we can actually do when we play best ball.

546
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 7: So definitely excited for this weekend.

547
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 8: Hey, everybody this time of year is probably playing through something. Yeah, physically,

548
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 8: how you feeling physically?

549
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 7: Feel good?

550
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 9: I mean I'm blessed man because I'm able to still walk,

551
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 9: still be able to jog, run, whatever the case may be.

552
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 7: Still being healthy period.

553
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 9: It's something I can all I can ask for is

554
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 9: is to be that, you know, especially at this point

555
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 9: in the year, because it's a marathon. I mean, when

556
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 9: you're playing a physical game like this, you're gonna be

557
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 9: nick and bruis up like it's like it's no tomorrow.

558
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 9: I mean, that's just everybody. But you gotta take care

559
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 9: of your body. You gotta understand what you need for

560
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,479
Speaker 9: your body. Listen to your body, continue to feed your

561
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 9: body the right things, make sure you're hydrating and stuff

562
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 9: like that, because, as I mentioned, I mean, whoever goes

563
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 9: into a healthiest and has their best players available usually

564
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 9: wins the games in those senses. So that's all we're

565
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 9: trying to do right now, make sure we go into

566
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 9: this game as healthy as possible so that we can

567
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 9: put our best before as we keep going to the playoffs.

568
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 8: All right, Jonathan, tell me about this Baltimore Ravens offensive line.

569
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 9: Oh Man, Baltimore, I mean, just in general, Baltimore has

570
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 9: this hard nose, blue collar type work ethic type of team,

571
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 9: which is their mo all as hardballs mo alls since

572
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 9: it's been in the league, and we respect that, We

573
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 9: understand that's that's who they are and they own that.

574
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 9: So and knowing that as that is your opponent, you

575
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 9: have to bring an extra different type of tenacity when

576
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 9: it comes in there in their home, you know, obviously

577
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 9: them being the best team in the NFL, having the

578
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 9: week off and understanding we're coming into their territory trying

579
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 9: to stop them to do something that they've been trying

580
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 9: to do for the past couple of years, especfully. So,

581
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 9: the offense line is very very good. Some vests on

582
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 9: the outside, you know, with Stanley and obviously Moses and

583
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 9: the inside they got their two guys you know Simpson

584
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 9: and on I'm seventy as well, and then you know

585
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 9: Lindabaum inside you know they're all worker is a pretty

586
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 9: good unit. And obviously with Monkey is at oc, they

587
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 9: have a very good job. They got more comfortable even

588
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 9: from week one to now, they're very, very very comfortable

589
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 9: put points up and understand how they want to tack opponent.

590
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 7: So knowing all that and knowing that they have a.

591
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 9: Refined type of what we've seen week one, that means

592
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 9: we have to go into our bag and on the

593
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 9: film session and say, hey, we got to elevate our game,

594
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 9: in which I think we have done as well from

595
00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 9: week one.

596
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 7: So it's a great thing. I always talk about it.

597
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,719
Speaker 9: Just how coming from last week, we just played Cleveland,

598
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 9: so we got to right our wrongs with that team.

599
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 7: It is destiny at this point.

600
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 9: I mean, we get another chance to go right our

601
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 9: wrong against this team that caught us early on in

602
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 9: this season, and they didn't play their best ball either,

603
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 9: I mean to say them as well, So I'm looking

604
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 9: forward to see us both playing our best ball getting

605
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 9: them at their tip top shape and us at the

606
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 9: same way.

607
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 7: It's gonna be a showdown. Man. I'm excited.

608
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 9: I'm glad to go against my old teammate again. But

609
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 9: definitely it's decided to go out there and playball.

610
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know that everyone listening and watching realizes

611
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 8: you say your old team is you were at Louisville

612
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 8: for a bit with Lamar Jackson. He's probably gonna win

613
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 8: the MVP Award. What have you seen from him as

614
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 8: far as Week one versus now in that Todd Munkt

615
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 8: offense because he's playing at an entirely different level.

616
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 7: For sure.

617
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 9: He definitely looks more comfortable. He understands where he wants

618
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 9: to attack, he understands who's gonna be opening. He's still

619
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 9: figuring it out as well, which is a good thing

620
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 9: about him and having a quarterback like him. I know

621
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 9: coach Monkin is excited to have a quarterback like that

622
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 9: that could make your plays look pretty good. Sometimes it's

623
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 9: a busted play, but yeah, man, hats off to the

624
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 9: guy man, as we all know what he can do

625
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 9: in this league, what he's been doing in this league.

626
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 9: But I know he's definitely gonna take it another notch.

627
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 9: Just because it's for all the marbles now. I mean,

628
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 9: at this point he has to there's no more. Hey,

629
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 9: I'm not going to take this player or do this

630
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 9: and that I mean he's going to go out there

631
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 9: and play ball and try to fight and make sure

632
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 9: he does the best for his team so that they

633
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 9: can win. So we got to come in it and

634
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 9: expect him to do the unthinkable. Player like that, you

635
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 9: can never bring him down to what he can do

636
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 9: and can't do.

637
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 7: This guy can do literally everything.

638
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 9: So we definitely know how we have to attack him,

639
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 9: how we want to make sure that he feels uncomfortable

640
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 9: and understand where they want to attack us with them

641
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 9: watching us in the past and playing us in the past.

642
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 7: But it's not gonna be okay, walk.

643
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 9: We understand what they want to do and they might

644
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 9: run some certain players again, but we still got to

645
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 9: go there and stop it and vice versus for them.

646
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 9: So I know they're excited to get up get going

647
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 9: at us again and vice verse for us too.

648
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 8: I like the way you phrased that, expect the unthinkable

649
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 8: turn it around. Yeah, what do you expect from your quarterback?

650
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 9: TJ?

651
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 7: Yeah?

652
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 9: I was gonna stop you early when you said just

653
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 9: for sure, like hands down MVP of my Lamar, but

654
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 9: for so respectfully, I mean, as we all know Lamar. Definitely,

655
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 9: it could be either or, but you know who I'm

656
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 9: going to say so, but if you have my vote,

657
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 9: it was my voting, my vote alone. Yeah, I'm definitely

658
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 9: taking seven. But seeing how he's how he's just progressed

659
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 9: throughout the season from that first game. Man, it's it's

660
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 9: he's doing astronomical things at this point we've seen it.

661
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 9: I'm just excited to see the new and refined version

662
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 9: of him going into it. The best thing about it

663
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 9: I think overall is he's not making it bigger than

664
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 9: what it is. He understood that. Yeah, ultimately, we just

665
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 9: took a lost last game. Didn't mean you played off

666
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 9: or what doesn't mean you did this and that didn't

667
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 9: mean that any of these negative things that you may

668
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 9: think is going.

669
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 8: To get mine team lost.

670
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 9: So don't go in thinking that you have to do

671
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 9: more to win this game. No, just do what your

672
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 9: coach will do. It's the same way we're on our

673
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 9: side on defense. We're gonna do what we're coach to do.

674
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 9: We're not gonna try to go out there and do

675
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 9: everything all over again and do more than we.

676
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 7: Did last time.

677
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 9: I was just gonna continue to try to execute the

678
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 9: game plan that we tried to do the first time.

679
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 7: Obviously we just come up with the victory. But we're

680
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 7: definitely looking forward to that.

681
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 9: And I mean, I'm looking forward to see how he

682
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 9: acts and with a second time around for sure, because

683
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 9: I know he's gonna bring it. I mean, that's that's

684
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,479
Speaker 9: not as MODI backdown at all. He's going to bring

685
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 9: it every single time. And I think that's why it's

686
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 9: so infectious for the team, because not only is he

687
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 9: want his get back, we all want our get back.

688
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 9: So definitely looking forward to three fifteen or four to

689
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 9: fifteen over there come Saturday, for sure.

690
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 8: Last thing for me, I know, you want to play

691
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 8: every game here at home and it's allowed and everything,

692
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 8: but there's a little bit of you and the rest

693
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 8: of your team, it said kind of relish going on

694
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 8: the road and trying to shut a crowd up, right, Yeah.

695
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 9: I mean, I think if you have that underdog mentality,

696
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 9: it feels you to go into take everything on the

697
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 9: road the same thing you do at home.

698
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 7: It makes you say, hey, let's take this the same

699
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 7: thing we did here, Let's take.

700
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 9: This on the road and bring it there. I mean,

701
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 9: we always come with a chip on our shoulder when

702
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 9: it comes to away games. Personally, I love away games.

703
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 9: I mean I love the fact that I can go

704
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 9: in there and possibly change the game to where now

705
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 9: your crowd is out the game, and now we got

706
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 9: momentum on our side for our defense and an offense,

707
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 9: you know, as a vision of the team and as

708
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 9: we know because I've been there. When you get your

709
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 9: home crowd out of it, that's so demoralizing because now

710
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 9: you have to rely on you and your brothers. You

711
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 9: should have been doing it anyway, but now you're really

712
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 9: solely relying on the heart of the team, the energy

713
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 9: of the team to carry you through. So whenever you're

714
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 9: playing away gaming, you always take that chip on your shoulder.

715
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 9: Understand you walking in underwanted territory, hostile territory. So I'm excited.

716
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 9: I mean, I love these type of games because you

717
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 9: make a play. You make one play and then it's

718
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 9: it's on from there. So everybody has that mentality as well,

719
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 9: and I think that when everybody makes their play, I'm

720
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 9: excited to see what happens.

721
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 8: Man We're excited as well. January football has been a

722
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 8: hell of a lot of fun. Jonathan Garnard, we appreciate

723
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 8: the time, best of luck against the Ravens and beyond, sir,

724
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 8: and we'll talk to you again versus.

725
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 7: Thank you always.

726
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: Tremendous stuff there with JG fifty two.

727
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: What a first segment, Dimiko Rans with Mark and I,

728
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 2: Chris Kiffin with me and Mark as well, and Jonathan

729
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: Grenard with Drew Dorty. Okay, we're gonna have a little

730
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 2: Drews dozen with Jonathan Gernard a little later, but coming

731
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: up next, I gotta give you my keys to the game.

732
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: Let's dive into it.

733
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 2: Let's get football le if you will, and talk about

734
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 2: this Raven squad and how the Texans are gonna go

735
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 2: about doing it. So we got to hit the injury report,

736
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 2: who's in, who's out, who's questionable, and then let's.

737
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: Hit those keys. Let's do that next right here, Texans

738
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,479
Speaker 1: All Access, what's up, everybody?

739
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: Welcome back to our Friday edition of Texans All Access,

740
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 2: a playoff edition of Texas All Access brought to you

741
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 2: by a Mattress firm. I'm your host, John Harris Football

742
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 2: and a sideline reporter for your Houston Texans in Baltimore

743
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: with the crew getting ready for kickoff against the Baltimore Ravens.

744
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: And we've reached that point in the show where it's

745
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 2: time for my keys to the game. So let's cut

746
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 2: up my music, let's get high, let's do this now.

747
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: Before we get to the keys of the game, let's.

748
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: Lead into it with some very important information. That's the

749
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: injury report.

750
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: Now this is gonna sound odd, but in week twenty,

751
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 2: second round, Division round of the playoffs, the Texans have

752
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: three players with a questionable or an out designation.

753
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: Three. That's it, which is wild to think about. That's it.

754
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 2: Out is Jerry Hughes. Now, we expected that we have

755
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 2: not seen Jerry in a while. It's not been out

756
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: of practice. Would love to be able to get Jerry back.

757
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: But Jerry is out internet ankle against Indianapolis culture. He's

758
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 2: out of this game.

759
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: Questionable. Andrew Beck.

760
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 3: Now, Andrew Beck was back practicing today, So fingers crossed,

761
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 3: Andrew Beck will be ready to go.

762
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: Third one And this one I saw immediately as we

763
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: went out.

764
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: I just immediately saw it and went, oh, no, George

765
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 2: fant illness questionable Hopefully he's gonna be okay and he'll

766
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: be back. But Charlie Heck would probably jump into right

767
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: tackle as my guess. But George Fant questionably, He's played

768
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 2: extremely well. So hopefully George can get back and ready

769
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 2: to go for Saturday. We'll learn more about that tomorrow

770
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: as we get on the plane.

771
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 3: If he's not able to get in a plane, obviously

772
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,239
Speaker 3: he's not gonna be able to play the game.

773
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: But we'll see.

774
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 2: But from the injury reports standpoint, I don't know that

775
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 2: I've seen it like this in a while. George fan

776
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 2: andrewed back, questionable, Jerry Hughes out. Now let's get to

777
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: the other side for the Baltimore Ravens. Marlon Humphrey, who

778
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: missed Week one against the Texans, will miss this game

779
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 2: against the Texans as well.

780
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: He is out with a calf injury.

781
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 2: Injured that calf against the the Miami Dolphins December thirty,

782
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: first game, so he injured. It hasn't been able to practic.

783
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 2: Is he is out of this one? Does Sean Phillips

784
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 2: with his shoulder. He didn't participated in practice. I think

785
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: all week he's listening.

786
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 3: Questionable tailand Wallace dealing with a knee issue, punt returner,

787
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 3: four fifth wide receiver, depending on how you want to

788
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 3: do it.

789
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: He is out.

790
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: Three players questionable, Mark Andrews, Devin Duvernet, they were both

791
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: on IR designated to return, and as was and as

792
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 2: is are Darius Washington's safety.

793
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: They are all this is questionable.

794
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 7: Now.

795
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 2: The thought is, what I've read today is that Mark

796
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 2: Andrews is probably gonna give it a go, So we'll

797
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: see what that's gonna mean. But Devin DuVernay not sure,

798
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 2: questionable or Darius Washington questionable. So forour questionable on the

799
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: Ravens side, Sean Phillips, Mark Andrews, Devin DuVernay, r Darius

800
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: Washington to out for the Ravens. Marlin Humphrey the All

801
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: Pro corner and tailand Wallace punt returner and wide receiver. Okay,

802
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 2: let's get into these keys against these Baltimore Ravens. And

803
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: we've we've been kind of talking of this all week,

804
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 2: so there's a part of me that's like, man, we

805
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: kind of hit a lot of this, but we hit

806
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 2: it fast. It kind of get you in and out

807
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 2: and then you get kind of a good feel for this.

808
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 2: Now the Baltimore Ravens offense has been really really good

809
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: this year. They're first in the league and rushing, I

810
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 2: mean with Lamar Gus Edwards, no JK.

811
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: Dobbins, who we.

812
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 3: Saw in the first game, but they're sixth overall total

813
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 3: offense three hundred and seven yards per game.

814
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 2: They get it done a lot of different ways. So

815
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: that gets me Number one. Why do they get it

816
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 2: done a lot of different ways? Because they have Lamar Jackson.

817
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: The eight ball in the game of pool, the focal

818
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: point of the entire game is the eight ball pool.

819
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 2: There's a danger because you don't want to knock it in,

820
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 2: So there's always this kind of danger aspect to Lamar Jackson.

821
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: Is he going to take off out of the pocket?

822
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: Did we stay in our rush lanes?

823
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 2: Is he gonna throw this one fading left, falling away

824
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: right and hit his wide receiver as he did I

825
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 2: think a couple times against the Niners.

826
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: He can do it all. The biggest thing is to tackling.

827
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: When he gets out and gets as a runner, you've

828
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 2: got to tackle him, be physical, tackle him.

829
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: But my god, just don't let him get comfortable in

830
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: the pocket.

831
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: Number two, say all day, say Flowers He took over

832
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 2: in Week one as the best receiver in a field

833
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 2: and that's not changed. He's the most dynamic weapon in

834
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: that offense for the Ravens, and the Texans are.

835
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,239
Speaker 1: Gonna have their hands full with how you account for him.

836
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: The biggest thing you can't allow him to do is

837
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 2: take a five yard route and turn it into a

838
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 2: fifty five yard catch and run.

839
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: Can't let that happen. Number three, expose any weakness and

840
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: then finish. And what that means. The Baltimore Ravens offense

841
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: line is a good one. It's a very good one.

842
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 2: Ronnie Stanley, Tyler Linderbaum very good, Kevin Zeitler good. But

843
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: Texans were able to rush Lamar Jackson really really well.

844
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 2: But they've got to finish on Lamar.

845
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 3: Get sacks, bring him down, do not let him, do

846
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 3: not hit him, fall off on the creek. He did

847
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 3: it a few times.

848
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: It hurt the.

849
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 2: Texans in Week one. Cannot allow that to happen. Defensively,

850
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: it is one of the better units in the league.

851
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 2: Six in the NFL and total offense Lopper game at

852
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: three zero one only give up one hundred ninety two

853
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: yards passing per game with the Browns gave up like

854
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: one sixty five, so never know.

855
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 1: Now with this group. Number one Roquan Smith, can you

856
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: block him? First of all? Can you find him? You

857
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: block him?

858
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 2: But worries me A little bit about Rokuan is that

859
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: Jok killed us last week and Rokwan's better Roquan the

860
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 2: last two times he's faced us thirty two combined tackles,

861
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: four TFLs, one sack, one game ending pick.

862
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: That's what he's done against us the last two times.

863
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 1: We've got a blog zero no doubt.

864
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 2: Number two Kyle Hamilton, not Alexander Hamilton, O Kyle number fourteen.

865
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 2: He's scarier. You gotta find out where he is on

866
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 2: every single play, every play. Do not mess with him.

867
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 2: He's one of the best safeties in the league already.

868
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 2: And finally introducing you to a lot a guy that

869
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 2: a lot of people know throughout the league, but maybe

870
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: you don't know him. A lot of Aggies do because

871
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 2: he played at A and m A's justin Mattabuke. He

872
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 2: said a career record with sacks with thirteen. He's got

873
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 2: twelve TFLs. Quick, he's powerful, and he's got leverage. He

874
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: is really, really difficult to block, But the Texans have

875
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: to account for him.

876
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: They must account for ninety two. But that dude conrect

877
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: the game in the middle.

878
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 3: But he's quick, powerful and could be a handful and

879
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 3: the Texans have got to account for him.

880
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: Okay, we get back.

881
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 3: We do a little Drew's Dozen with Jonathan Gernard right

00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: of radio this evening now and hopefully beyond. I really

903
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: hope this is not the last Friday show. That's that's

904
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 2: kind of hit me all day, Like man, I got

905
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 2: embraced myself for it. But hopefully it's not gonna happen.

906
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 2: I've said it the last couple of weeks. If it's

907
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: the last show, I thank you, but hopefully it's not

908
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 2: going to be. Because one of the things that gets

909
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: really really sad at this time of year is.

910
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,479
Speaker 1: When players play the last game.

911
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 3: You don't know, I mean even we go all the

912
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 3: way to Super Bowl to be sad because you don't

913
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 3: know what's gonna come back next year.

914
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully this next guy comes back. He is a

915
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: free agent.

916
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 2: Hopefully the Texans keep John Garnard around for a long

917
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 2: long time. I have been a huge fan of John Grenard,

918
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 2: and if you don't know the story, you go back

919
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty.

920
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: It's COVID year and the week, the week that COVID

921
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: actually hits. I remember the day.

922
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 2: It was March twelfth, and my family and I decided

923
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 2: that we were gonna go down as a spring break.

924
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: For my kids. And so we said, look, it's the

925
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: last spring break. My daughter was a senior same year CJ.

926
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 3: Stild was a senior, and let's go down to Galveston

927
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 3: and we'll spend a week in Galveston.

928
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: It'll be awesome.

929
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 2: We'll get down to Galveston and obviously everything's starting to

930
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 2: shut down for COVID. But in preparation for it, I

931
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 2: had gone to my guy Tommy in the film departments,

932
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 2: the Tomy, can you hold me up some games so

933
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: I can watch some prospects.

934
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: And so there's a beautiful day, even though COVID's already hitting.

935
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 2: And I go out on a deck and I have

936
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 2: Florida Missouri from twenty nineteen, and I watched number fifty

937
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 2: eight for the Florida Gators run rough shot over everybody

938
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 2: in a black and.

939
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: Gold jersey for Missouri, and I'm like, I love this guy.

940
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 2: So fast forward now about six seven weeks, we're deeping COVID.

941
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: It's the COVID Draft.

942
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,479
Speaker 2: We're all at home and we're we're calling the action

943
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 2: on a Friday night, talking about things, and we get

944
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 2: to pick number ninety and Mark says, all right, Johnny,

945
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: what do you think here? And so I'm looking at

946
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 2: my best available and one of the best available is

947
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: John Gernard. And I said, man, you know what, Mark,

948
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: John Gernard is still on the board, and I really

949
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: think this team could use a pass rush. I think

950
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 2: he's got everything that you're looking for. I think he

951
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 2: rushes the edge.

952
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 3: He's got great pass rush moves, got great length, strength size.

953
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: I caught up with him at the Senior Bowl.

954
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 3: We had an interview with him before you know, obviously

955
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 3: everything with South of COVID, and I loved him.

956
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: I was like, man, I like this guy a lot.

957
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 2: I would like for him to be a Texan. And

958
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: I swear to you, Mark goes, well, your wish just

959
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 2: came true. It is John Gernard pick number ninety.

960
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: And I just went nuts. I was like, that is awesome.

961
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: I was happy I.

962
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 2: Called it, but I was more happy that John Grenard

963
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 2: was coming to the Houston Texans. And John and I

964
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 2: have the last four years, you know, we've all gotten

965
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 2: close guys that have been around for a little bit

966
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 2: because we've seen some stuff now and John Grenard turned

967
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 2: it around this year to have an incredible year. He

968
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: staided healthy for the most part, still dealing with that

969
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,760
Speaker 2: ankle a little bit, but as we mentioned the previous segment,

970
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 2: JG gonna be ready to go, and that's probably the

971
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 2: best news that we could possibly have. There is no

972
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 2: status next to his name, and that is a great thing.

973
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 2: That means fifty two is ready to rock. As he

974
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 2: was against the Browns.

975
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 7: Now.

976
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: He still was kind of backing up a little bit

977
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: against the Browns, but you know, he was playing through

978
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 1: it and he had a great game the first time

979
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: against the Baltimore Ravens. He and Will Anderson, so looking

980
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: for a little bit of that from both of them,

981
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: but we only had one of them right now to

982
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: do a little Drew's dozen.

983
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 2: So with all that football talk I just gave you,

984
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,760
Speaker 2: let's get a little wacky with Drew and his dozen

985
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 2: questions for John Grenard event.

986
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 8: Jonathan Grenard. Green is the first part of your name,

987
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 8: So we're ranking five things with green in it. Jonathan Grenard,

988
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 8: the Green Lantern, actor Seth Green. Okay, there's a Disney

989
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 8: sports action movie called The Mean Green. It's about soccer

990
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 8: and then green Bean castrole. How did those shake out?

991
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 7: All? Right?

992
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 9: So I'll put myself as one good I like me

993
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 9: some green Bean castrole. I haven't had him in a while,

994
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 9: but when I did have I used to love it. Actually,

995
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 9: so I'll put that number two Seth Green. Actually, if

996
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 9: I remember correctly what movie was the off of, I

997
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 9: feel like I know faces more than name.

998
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 8: But he's a redheaded guy. He's been in a bunch

999
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 8: of he was in Austin Powers. He was the Sun

1000
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 8: in Austin Powers. He was in Entourage if you ever

1001
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 8: watched that show, and he always got he was like

1002
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 8: the villain of villains in Honorage. He got a big fight.

1003
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 7: I feel like I know exactly what you're talking about.

1004
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, you've seen him.

1005
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 7: Put him three. I don't care number three.

1006
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 8: That leaves the Mean Green, and that leaves the Green Lantern.

1007
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 9: I put four because I'm not gonna disbect. Greenland shot

1008
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 9: out my stepdad. It was a huge marveling DC fan.

1009
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 9: Trust me, we we went through the whole nine. So

1010
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 9: rest is so, but that was the granted is definitely

1011
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 9: going four, mean number five.

1012
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 7: Sorry, it's a movie. That's your ranking.

1013
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 8: Complete this sentence. I wish I had invented, Oh I

1014
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 8: was shot invented.

1015
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 9: I was gonna say cell phone, but very very cliche,

1016
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 9: because you know there's so many different variants.

1017
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 8: Now what it is cliches? I mean, we had airplane

1018
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 8: last week by Dalton Schultz. I would have chosen Slurpy

1019
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 8: or Margarita.

1020
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 7: Okay, I wish I would have chosen cars vehicles car.

1021
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 8: You're in a goal line situation. Texans are on offense,

1022
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 8: but they got to get one guy from the defense

1023
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 8: to help them out. You what are you gonna play?

1024
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 8: What's the what's the situation?

1025
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 7: Put me outside X? Okay, jump ball? I want it

1026
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 7: every time. I'm gonna win that one.

1027
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 8: Fade.

1028
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 7: I love to fade.

1029
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 8: Okay, And with the pinpoint accuracy of the quarterback.

1030
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 7: Dress, we got seven back there seven. I don't have

1031
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 7: to do anything. The ball was just gonna magically end.

1032
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 8: Up and you got it. Okay, which of these would

1033
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 8: you choose? You can breathe underwater but you're death, or

1034
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 8: you can fly but you're blind.

1035
00:41:58,760 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 7: I'll be under water. Okay.

1036
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean it's got to see. Yeah, it's the

1037
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 9: closest thing that we're already kind of somewhat deaf. I mean,

1038
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 9: if you're gonna hear Will's cleaking up on you. But yeah,

1039
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 9: other than that, yeah, I'm definitely going on the water.

1040
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 8: Give me a few of the most underrated entertainers of

1041
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,759

1091
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 8: Honestly, that's two. That's a surprise, really, right. But I

1092
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 8: think if you said that to most people who've been around.

1093
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 7: They wouldn't. They wouldn't think because it doesn't talk as

1094
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 7: much exactly.

1095
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 9: He's kind of as a demeanor where it's like, you know,

1096
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 9: closed off, but everybody knows you're talking. Malik probably talks

1097
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 9: the most trash on our team period that people don't know.

1098
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 9: But it's like all love. But I'm trying to see

Speaker 9: lining room is gonna get me. But I'm gonna say

1101
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 9: somebody else outside the D line room just to that

1102
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 9: people that like, I don't I love everybody on the team, now, sure,

1103
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 9: but you're it's the guy you're closest between, Damian Pierce,

00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 9: for sure.

1122
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 8: Same here, all right. It's the first thing you do

1123
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 8: when your eyes open in the.

1124
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 7: Morning, first thing I do wake up, say my deep breath.

1125
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 7: Thank God.

1126
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 9: I look over my baby girl and see that she's

1127
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 9: breathing good, and seeing my fiance seeing she all deep sleeps,

1128
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 9: and I'm like, okay, I can go to work now,

1129
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 9: you know. Once I see that, I know that day

1130
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 9: in the bed chilling and getting the extra disease all

1131
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 9: it's time for dad to go to work. So that's

1132
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 9: the most rewarding ful filing.

1133
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, you're a new father. How is the sleep going

1134
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 8: these days?

1135
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 9: It's good so far, mainly because me and my fiance

1136
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 9: have a pretty good arrangement right now when she knows.

1137
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 9: This is obviously during the season, so I can't wake

1138
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 9: up as much as the middle of the night. But

1139
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 9: you know, even if I wanted to, I don't think

1140
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 9: I could. You know, my sleep, how tired I am

1141
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 9: when I come home. I get all the time where

1142
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 9: I can with her when I do come home, and

1143
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 9: then when it's to lay it down, Daddy's out. But

1144
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 9: she's amazing so far, She's not haven't given me any

1145
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 9: many real problems. She slept through the night the other night,

1146
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 9: which is perfect, but any other time she probably wakes

1147
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 9: up once or twice. She probably had maybe one or

1148
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 9: two nights or she just did not want to go

1149
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 9: to sleep. But I mean anytime that I can get

1150
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 9: my sleep and I wake up and see her completely

1151
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,439
Speaker 9: noted out, I think the night went good.

1152
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 7: So we're good.

1153
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 8: So when you lay down and close your eyes, how

1154
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 8: long before you're out?

1155
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 7: Oo? I'm out pretty quick.

1156
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 9: I'm one of those son, So I started once I

1157
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 9: start dozing off, if we're in the living room on

1158
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 9: the couch and you know, start to rub the eyes

1159
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 9: a little bit. Once I lay in that bed, it's

1160
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 9: over with. But if I say, hey, i'mbout to make

1161
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 9: myself go to sleep, It's tough for me to go

1162
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:37,760
Speaker 9: to sleep. Once I lay my head and I'll probably

1163
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 9: take like thirty minutes. I get on my phone and

1164
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 9: then I'll doze off. But yeah, but if I but if.

1165
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 7: I'm like just tired from on the couch and then

1166
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 7: I go to the room, yeah I'm out instantly.

1167
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, Jonathan Gernard, it's always we keep going on these

1168
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 8: for forever. I always left talk with you about this

1169
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 8: and appreciate the time.

1170
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 7: Always talk. Thank y'all for having me always rue.

1171
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: I really hope the Texans bring John Gunnard back. I

1172
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: really do. I think he's a great example of what

1173
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: you do.

1174
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 2: You bring in players that have talent, they have the

1175
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 2: right mindset, they're great teammates, they foster great chemistry.

1176
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: A lot of confidence, and then you.

1177
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 2: Build them up, you develop them, they develop under your leadership,

1178
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 2: they become really good players, and then you keep them

1179
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 2: around for the foreseeable future. And hopefully that's what happens

1180
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 2: with John. My god, I hope that's what happens. But

1181
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 2: I understand the business, so I hope that's not the

1182
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 2: last Drews does. We over here with John Gunnard. But

1183
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 2: if it is, Man, we'd love you fifty two. Go

1184
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 2: and play your guts out against Baltimore Ravens. Thank you, brother,

Speaker 1: We get back.

1188
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 2: It's time to go in the lab with Drew. But

1189
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 2: we got a lot to talk about. We got haircuts,

1190
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 2: we got Creamy, the Croppers, we got Ravens. We got

1191
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 2: all kinds of things to talk about next right here

1192
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 2: in Texas All Access. We've knocked that one hour of

1193
00:47:58,320 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 2: this show. We got one hour left to go right

1194
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 2: here on a TGIFF edition playoff edition of Texas All Access,

1195
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 2: brought to you by Mattress Firm. Thank god, it's a

1196
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 2: football Friday, and it's a playoff football Friday. I'm your host,

1197
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 2: Jean Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter, coming to you. Not

1198
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,959
Speaker 2: quite live from Baltimore, but we are in Baltimore getting

1199
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 2: ready for game on Saturday. It's the first of the

1200
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,720
Speaker 2: four division round games. Kick will be a three thirty

1201
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 2: Central four point thirty. If you're up in Baltimore, if

1202
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 2: you have in Baltimore, comes say hey, I'll be on

1203
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 2: the sidelines and hopefully staying as warm as humanly possible.

1204
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: Weather it's gonna be a little bit of factor.

1205
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 3: I think the wind will probably have a little bit

1206
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 3: of an impact on things, but nowhere near what it

1207
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 3: was in Buffalo, Nowhere near what it was in Kansas

1208
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 3: City last couple of last couple of games this past week.

1209
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 2: So hopefully the Texans are ready to go. Man, they

1210
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 2: really had a good kind of dry run on Tuesday

1211
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 2: when they had practice and it was like twenty one

1212
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 2: to twenty two degrees. Wind was kicking. Boy, it was

1213
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 2: cold and had run, so I was good to go through.

1214
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 2: So hopefully that will help them in preparation for this

1215
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 2: one on Saturday. Now, a guy that was born in

1216
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 2: Baltimore but got to Houston actually within the first few

1217
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 2: months of his life is Drew Doherty.

1218
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: He and I do a little podcast called in the lab.

1219
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: So it's queued up right here.

1220
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 2: We talk a lot of different things about the win

1221
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 2: over Cleveland, getting ready for this game against Baltimore, who

1222
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,720
Speaker 2: are the cream of the Croppers, for our game against Baltimore.

1223
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 1: That's all right here, and then the lab.

1224
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 8: This is exciting, this is super exciting. I am riding

1229
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 8: going on because we saw how awful things were just

1230
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 8: this time of year ago before Demiko was hired. We've

1231
00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 8: been through three four years of just misery. I am

1232
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 8: fully engaged and enjoying this process. I know you are

1233
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 8: as well. I mean, let's just start with that. This

1234
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,680

1237
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 3: people ask and I'm like, I go back to the

1238
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 3: last three years and I'm like, think about how how

1239
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 3: y'all is a Texans fan felt the last three years?

1240
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 5: Okay, now just have that, like, have that right there?

1241
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 5: How you feel? Oh, it's terrible?

1242
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 8: Was this?

1243
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 3: It was that I was like, Okay, now go in

1244
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 3: the building every day and that's your job every day.

1245
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 3: Oh man, that's way worse. Yeah, I tell the story.

1246
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if I told the story. It's in

1247
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 3: the lab story time. So this was probably two and

1248
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 3: a half years ago. I think I was coming back

1249
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 3: from work or whatever. But I'll wear my Texans gear

1250
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 3: out and about you know, I didn't, you know whatever.

1251
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 3: And so I gone to get my hair cut. The

1252
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 3: place shall remain nameless, but I went into Great Clips

1253
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 3: and as I walked in, there was.

1254
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 8: What I just went intos lips y Yeah, yeah, whatever.

1255
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,439
Speaker 3: So I went in there and it was a place

1256
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 3: that I had gone to for for a little bit,

1257
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 3: and so I knew some of the the people in

1258
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,439
Speaker 3: there that that cut hair and they're they're really nice.

1259
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 3: And they got to where they would recognize me, maybe

1260
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 3: didn't know my name or whatever. And so I sat

1261
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 3: down at this one woman's chair where I had I

1262
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 3: had been before, and she saw my Texans stuff and

1263
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 3: she was like, oh, why why you Texans fan?

1264
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:50,839
Speaker 1: Like why?

1265
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 3: And I just kind of like, you know, I know

1266
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 3: times are tough, but you know, I work for the team,

1267
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 3: et cetera. And she stopped and she goes, well, does

1268
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 3: that mean you have to wear the logo every day?

1269
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 3: And it just hit me like, wow, okay, we've gotten

1270
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 3: to such depths that this woman is questioning like why

1271
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 3: I should even wear the logo and I work for

1272
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 3: the team, and I just I remembered that, and and

1273
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 3: so at that point, I'm kind of checked out. And

1274
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 3: she's talking about at that point, well, you know, I'm

1275
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 3: a big Cowboys fan, but I'm a big Oklahoma fan.

1276
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 3: She's talking about, you know, football, and you can tell

1277
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 3: she knows enough to be dangerous but not enough to

1278
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 3: be intelligent about it. And I just was like, yeah, okay, sure,

1279
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 3: well I've I've since moved away from that. And as

1280
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 3: you guys can see if you watch this on video,

1281
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 3: I need a haircut I got. Yeah, so I'm I'm

1282
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 3: tempted to go back there wearing Texans gear and see

1283
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 3: how she feels well, because the last that I looked,

1284
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 3: We're still playing and her teams aren't well.

1285
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 8: Time out. I've got a lady who has cut my

1286
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 8: hair since two thousand and nine. And she is fantastic.

1287
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 8: And she she once asked me, does every state have

1288
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 8: a NFL team? So a little different, Yeah, but a

1289
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 8: little different.

1290
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,879
Speaker 3: But hey, that she but she didn't deigrate, She didn't

1291
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 3: demigrate your employer right in front of your face.

1292
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 8: Sports is just not her thing, and she's she was

1293
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 8: asking a legit question when you.

1294
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 5: Know, well, I stopped.

1295
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 3: I stopped going to see her. I went to the

1296
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 3: same one. But I would ask for somebody else. But

1297
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 3: I feel like going back there and asking for her

1298
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 3: and saying and wearing it, saying, hey, we're doing pretty well.

1299
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 8: How are the Cowboys?

1300
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Cowboys they have How about them Cowboys?

1301
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 8: They playing?

1302
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 5: Oh no, they're not playing.

1303
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,439
Speaker 3: Well, they're keeping the same head coach. And we'll play

1304
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 3: them up in art Well, we'll play them up in Arlington.

1305
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,359
Speaker 1: But I digress because there are other things to talk about.

1306
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 8: True, okay, but let's talk about these Baltimore Ravens. This

1307
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 8: is gonna be a.

1308
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 7: This is it.

1309
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 8: This is a winnable game. It's for I don't think

1310
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 8: this is a nine points. I know Vegas things it's

1311
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 8: a nine. I think this is a much closer game.

1312
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 8: I think the Texans can absolutely win it because if

1313
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 8: something special at quarterback and CJ. Stroud no broken news

1314
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 8: right there. Let me just tell you what you're beating

1315
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 8: if you wind up beating the Ravens NFL Advanced Stats.

1316
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 8: I was talking about this with you before we got

1317
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:14,879
Speaker 8: on the air.

1318
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 5: Yep.

1319
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 8: So the twenty three Ravens, the nineteen eighty five Bears,

1320
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 8: which is the best team I've ever seen. Eighty five Bears,

1321
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 8: and the eighty four Niners, two best teams I've ever seen.

1322
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: Yep.

1323
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 8: So the twenty three Ravens, the eighty five Bears, and

1324
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 8: the nineteen seventy two Dolphins, which only undefeated team in

1325
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 8: the history of the league.

1326
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:32,399
Speaker 5: Yep.

1327
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 8: Those three teams all averaged twenty five points a game

1328
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 8: while leading the NFL in rushing offense and scoring defense.

1329
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 8: So it's three things there, minimum of twenty five per

1330
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 8: Number two led the NFL in rushing offense. Ravens had

1331
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 8: one hundred and fifty six and a half per game

1332
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 8: this year.

1333
00:54:57,800 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 5: Yep.

1334
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 8: And they led the NFL in scoring defense, which means

1335
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 8: they gave up the fewest points per game they averaged.

1336
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 8: Teams averaged sixteen and a half points a game against them.

1337
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,880
Speaker 8: They averaged twenty eight point four, so they win basically

1338
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 8: by twelve points every game this season on average, on average.

1339
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 8: So you're in talk with those two teams, the seventy

1340
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 8: two Dolphins the eighty five Bears. You're a historically good team.

1341
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 8: You should probably win the super Bowl or be in

1342
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 8: the Super Bowl. But I think he can beat these guys.

1343
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 8: And one thing, actually two things that I've seen have

1344
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 8: come from ESPN personalities that have really really piqued my

1345
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 8: interest and emboldened me and giving me even more confidence

1346
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 8: in this team. Lewis Riddick, who I think he interviewed

1347
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 8: for this job to be GM. Interesting guy has some

1348
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 8: cool facts. But he was talking about the chess match

1349
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 8: and how it's like four D chess between offensive coordinator

1350
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,800
Speaker 8: Bobby Slowick and they're defensive coordinator of the Ravens defense

1351
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 8: coordinator McDonald yep, not the guy that was with the

1352
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 8: Doobie brother Yeah, yeah, not that, just talking about how

1353
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,720
Speaker 8: high level things are and how one team run zone

1354
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 8: and the other team is so good at beating zone

1355
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 8: and some of the stuff that Bobby did against the

1356
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 8: Cleveland Browns that got these guys open. So I saw

1357
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 8: some of that and that was really cool. And then

1358
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 8: Orlovsky dani Rolofsky, who was a quarterback here. He was

1359
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 8: actually a backup when I was starting out with a team.

1360
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 8: Really good guy, sharp, sharp mind football wise, loves the game,

1361
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 8: you know, ingests hours and hours and hours of the

1362
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 8: footage of the game. He was pointing out, Hey, the

1363
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 8: first time these two teams played, Yes it was a

1364
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 8: twenty five to nine game, but this was not some

1365
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 8: coasting to victory by the Ravens. The Texans defense played

1366
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 8: really well, did some really good things. Remember they sacked

1367
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 8: him four times, Lamar Jackson, they stripped him and recovered

1368
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 8: to fumble once, they picked him off another time. And

1369
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 8: he was pointing out, Dan rol Loofski, none of that stuff.

1370
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 8: He was pointing out what the linebackers were doing, Christian Harris,

1371
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 8: Denzel Perrimant against the run. He got those guys. Now

1372
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 8: you're adding in Blake Cashman. So it's fun. Go look

1373
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 8: at their Twitter feeds, is what I'm saying basically, dani

1374
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 8: Rolofsky and Lewis Riddick, And it's really really cool because

1375
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 8: there's some stuff that just kind of gives you even

1376
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 8: more confidence because we already had some of the confidence

1377
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 8: with CJ. Stroud under center. But there's some of these other,

1378
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 8: you know, inside football stuff that's got me geeked up, John,

1379
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 8: And I know you can expound on a lot of

1380
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:32,479
Speaker 8: these things. On all these things.

1381
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 3: Well, one thing that stood out to me when the

1382
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 3: Ravens played their non JV roster they so.

1383
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 8: Every game aside from Week eight, team based, aside from

1384
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 8: Week two, which they lost because they were resting guys.

1385
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, to sixty five is a number I'll give you.

1386
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 3: To sixty five is a toll yardage that the Ravens

1387
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 3: generated that day against the Texans.

1388
00:57:59,000 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 5: That's the lowest.

1389
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 3: That's the lowest the Ravens have generated total yardage wise. Now,

1390
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 3: the other team that was close, which will sound weird,

1391
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 3: but to sixty eight the Arizona Cardinals. So the one

1392
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 3: thing that I like about both teams, the Cardinals in

1393
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 3: particular the Cardinals. I mean, the Cardinals defense was was plucky,

1394
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 3: if that's a good word to use, but they were

1395
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 3: really good and dialed in. Now, they gave up thirty

1396
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 3: one points in that game, but they gave up to

1397
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 3: sixty eight overall, which those are the two lowest totals

1398
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 3: that the Ravens faced and one of those was against

1399
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 3: the Texas.

1400
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 10: Now I could see the Texas, you know, it's the

1401
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 10: first game.

1402
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 3: You look at the last four games that they've played

1403
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 3: with their non JV roster after the bye week four

1404
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 3: forty nine, three ninety six, three forty three, and four

1405
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 3: ninety one. So I went and I watched the forty

1406
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 3: nine Ers and Dolphins games last night. Actually, and I

1407
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 3: as a I don't mean to do this, but I

1408
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 3: try to go in with some expectations, but not like okay,

1409
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 3: just trying, you know, because I watched a little bit

1410
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 3: of the forty nine Ers game because it's Christmas night,

1411
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 3: so I watch a little bit, but I didn't see

1412
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 3: any of the Dolphins game. And I was like, okay,

1413
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 3: are we going to see the seventy two Dolphins eighty

1414
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 3: five Bears in these games?

1415
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 10: And I'm like, damn, man, the Niners gave them that game.

1416
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 5: The Niners gave it to them, like handed it to them.

1417
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 5: On so oh turnovers.

1418
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 3: They ran the ball, I mean, perty made some he

1419
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 3: made some dumb throws, really dumb throws.

1420
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 10: I mean the one early in the red zone is

1421
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 10: just ridiculous.

1422
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 3: Now, there was a tipball interception, but then there was

1423
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 3: another one by Patrick Queen in the red zone and

1424
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:41,439
Speaker 3: the defense that boy caught it in the Ravens red zone.

1425
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 3: So as soon as he caught it, they were in

1426
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 3: the red zone. Party was just off. Now the Dolphins.

1427
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 3: The Dolphins were able to move the ball on them,

1428
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 3: and that gave me some hope, like, man, this isn't

1429
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 3: the eighty five Bears defense. It's a good defense, not

1430
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 3: the eighty five Bears defense. We can move the ball

1431
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 3: in these guys, and if we moved the ball on them,

1432
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 3: then it becomes we've got to put the ball in

1433
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 3: the end zone.

1434
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 5: And I've been on the sidelines for.

1435
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 3: Three games and we scored I think a total of

1436
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:16,479
Speaker 3: two touchdowns, so that that's got to change.

1437
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 10: And I felt like we.

1438
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 3: Moved Excuse me, I felt like we moved the ball

1439
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 3: came on them the first time. We just couldn't put

1440
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 3: the ball well. From about late first quarter on, we

1441
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 3: just con put the ball in the end zone. Took

1442
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 3: a lot of sacks that day. Pass protection will be different.

1443
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 3: You have a dater, you have a scrugs which you

1444
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 3: didn't have in the first game, and that that should

1445
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 3: help a little bit.

1446
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 8: Well, and on the whole.

1447
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 10: It's settled in. Yes, it seas it found right. They

1448
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 10: have found a little bit of a groove there.

1449
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1450
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 3: But I walked out of the room after watching those

1451
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 3: two games and went to bed, and as I laid

1452
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,919
Speaker 3: my head down, I was like, it's a good football team.

1453
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 10: It's a really good football team that we're facing.

1454
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 3: And and uh, we kind of got a group text

1455
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 3: with Andre and Mark and I and Andre must have

1456
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 3: been and thinking about the game because he's talking about

1457
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 3: great the Ravens are and all this kind of stuff.

1458
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:07,439
Speaker 3: And here's the thing. Mar Jackson hasn't taken a snap

1459
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 3: in a game since December thirty first, So on Saturday

1460
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 3: that'll be the twentieth that'll be nearly three weeks since

1461
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 3: he has taken a snap in a game. And sometimes

1462
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 3: that's enough to throw off your rhythm. And if we

1463
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 3: get a little bit of wind. I know they're used

1464
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 3: to playing in Baltimore, but look, Lamar Jackson's a Floridian.

1465
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 3: You never know, so you just that's the kind of

1466
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 3: offensive machine that it's a Lamborghini. And if all the

1467
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 3: widgets in the sockets are all working together and the

1468
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 3: pistons are firing, man, it's tough to stop. But if

1469
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 3: you just have a little bit of the widgets off,

1470
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 3: just a little bit, man, that thing can break down.

1471
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 3: And that's what you've got to really take advantage of.

1472
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 3: You You can't have busted the secondary. You got to

1473
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 3: know where you need to be. You got to tackle

1474
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 3: extremely well. Whenever you have an opportunity to make a tackle,

1475
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 3: it's got to be made on the spot. And I'm

1476
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 3: not just talking about Lamar, I'm talking about all of them.

1477
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 3: They all run really really well after the catch, and

1478
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 3: look they're gonna get theirs. They're they're this offense is

1479
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 3: really kind of rounded into shape. But you got to

1480
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 3: hope that in some sense that they're off a little

1481
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 3: bit from having this break this rust. And you've been

1482
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 3: playing since I think it was October twenty ninth. Every

1483
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 3: single Sunday or Saturday, you've played a game, so you

1484
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:26,919
Speaker 3: are in a particular rhythm of how you do things

1485
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 3: now and this is a third straight Saturday game, so

1486
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:30,919
Speaker 3: you're not rhythm too. So you've got to make sure

1487
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 3: that you capitalize upon that as much as you possibly can. So,

1488
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm looking forward to now. One last thing.

1489
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 3: You got these numbers from the the research packet that

1490
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 3: we get from the NFL, which is really cool. Yes,

1491
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 3: how about this? This is this is pretty impressive too,

1492
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 3: because they got cool stuff about us.

1493
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, they do.

1494
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 3: But whenever you mentioned the Pottsville Maroons, I'm gonna give

1495
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 3: you this number. The Ravens have seven wins of fourteen

1496
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 3: plus points versus teams with a winning record entering the

1497
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 3: game in twenty twenty. That's tied with the twenty fourteen

1498
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 3: Patriots for most in a season all time. So the

1499
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 3: Ravens and Patriots both had seven wins against teams with

1500
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 3: a winning record. The next with six is the Pottsville

1501
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 3: Maroons of nineteen twenty five. The good old Maroons won

1502
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 3: six games. Now I think they've ended up playing twelve,

1503
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 3: so it's a better percentage.

1504
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 8: I think myself a geography, like, I know geography better

1505
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 8: than most.

1506
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 5: Yeah you do.

1507
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 8: Don't know where Potsville is?

1508
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm not totally sure what Pottsville, Pennsylvania, Ohio. I mean,

1509
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 10: I believe you.

1510
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 3: Who's to say? But look, we're I think personally and Drew,

1511
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 3: you've seen every playoff game. You've been around, every single

1512
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 3: playoff team. I feel like this Texans team going into

1513
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 3: a divisional round is the most well rounded and most

1514
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 3: ready for the opportunity of all of them. Even nineteen,

1515
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 3: I felt like, yeah, defensively, we've really shown some cracks

1516
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 3: in the armor.

1517
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 5: I'm worried about that.

1518
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 3: I feel better about this team, and I don't want

1519
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 3: to be a prisoner of the moment, but I feel

1520
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 3: better about this team going into the game. No matter

1521
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,920
Speaker 3: how good the Ravens are and who they're playing. I

1522
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 3: just feel good about what this team has done and

1523
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 3: will feel good no matter what happens on Saturday.

1524
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, even if you get smashed on Saturday. You've never

1525
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 8: gone into the playoffs and been in the playoffs and

1526
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 8: it's hot yep, and you've never gone in YEP with

1527
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 8: a quarterback this good, this lethal, this efficient like CJ.

1528
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 7: Stroud.

1529
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 8: You just haven't absolutely lots of feel good about. And

1530
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 8: you brought up Lamborghini's It brings me. It reminds me

1531
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 8: of the little song that my kids sing every once

1532
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 8: in a while. You can't ride in Milamborghini. You're too

1533
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 8: big and the seat's too teeny.

1534
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 5: So there you go.

1535
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 8: Maybe the seat's too teeny for that Ravens Lamborghini to roll.

1536
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, now, there you go.

1537
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 8: Okay, we got to talk cream of the Crop award winners.

1538
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 8: If we're on Sunday, basking in the globe of a victory,

1539
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 8: getting ready for the AFC title game and a trip

1540
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 8: to either Buffalo or Kansas City, I don't care.

1541
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 5: Bring it on.

1542
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 8: I'm all for it, but if we're getting to do it,

1543
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 8: getting ready for that and kind of groggy after the

1544
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 8: late night flight return home to a jubilant city. Who

1545
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 8: was your cream of the Crop award winner against the Ravens?

1546
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 8: Then the cream of the crop mister Blake cashman, Oh,

1547
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 8: I like cash money. It's before you, before you get

1548
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 8: into your breakdown of cash money. How awesome and how

1549
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 8: hilarious was his block of that poor offensive lineman that

1550
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 8: he bade. Blake got the the on the pick six

1551
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 8: by Steven Nelson. Blake pushed this guy and this this

1552
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 8: poor offensive lineman looked like a cartoon, you know, all

1553
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 8: three hundred thirty pounds of him wheeling on the phone.

1554
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 3: It was whyat Teller and why Tayler is one of

1555
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 3: the best guards in the league, and whya Telller has

1556
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 3: done that to plenty of linebackers. So I'm sure there

1557
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 3: were plenty of AFC North linebackers watching Cash going yeah

1558
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 3: put seventy seven that he actually went out of the

1559
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 3: game after that, he went out of the game and

1560
01:05:58,120 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 3: went into the tent. He missed the next series.

1561
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 5: He was down the field.

1562
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 10: He did come in after that for a little bit,

1563
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 10: but yeah, Cashing his block was incredible.

1564
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 3: I just feel like teams that end up laying the

1565
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 3: Ravens well or beating the Ravens. And there have been

1566
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 3: three teams that beat the Ravens this year, and I

1567
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 3: feel of those, a couple of them have a pretty

1568
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 3: good linebacker play and they have fast linebackers. The Colts

1569
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 3: Sia Frankly, j Speed, the Browns j Oka Taki Taki,

1570
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 3: and I think at that point of the year, I

1571
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 3: think Anthony Walker was playing fast, smart athletic linebackers to

1572
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 3: slow down all the different things they have to slow down,

1573
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 3: and that's a lot to really be disciplined with Lamar

1574
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:50,280
Speaker 3: to handle Gus Edwards, to cover tight ends, to drop

1575
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 3: in his own.

1576
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 5: Coverage on over routes and say Flowers obj.

1577
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 3: I mean there's a lot, a lot that is put

1578
01:06:56,600 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 3: on the shoulders of Blake Kashman, Christian Hair, so I mean,

1579
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 3: this is almost kind of two fer. But I feel

1580
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 3: like Cash just got to have that game. If if

1581
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 3: Christian had that game last week, he's got to have

1582
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 3: a solid game.

1583
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 10: But Cash has got to have that kind of game

1584
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 10: this week. Love it. That's my cream of the crop.

1585
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 5: Clean the crop.

1586
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 8: Love it, my cream of the crop crop. I'm gonna

1587
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 8: go with running back Devin Singletary. Seven carries for like

1588
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 8: maybe fifteen yards in this first go round, yep. But

1589
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 8: this is a different offense. This is a different you

1590
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 8: seeing usage of Singletary. He was money in the bank

1591
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 8: on Saturday in that win. Didn't have to use him

1592
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 8: too much because you were hitting the explosives. But the

1593
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 8: explosives helped him. He helped, you know, fuel some of

1594
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 8: those explosives because of the threat of what he can do.

1595
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 8: If you want to pull off a win on the

1596
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 8: road in the cold, you're gonna need to run the

1597
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 8: ball a little bit. I don't think cold weather precludes

1598
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:54,400
Speaker 8: you from passing and hitting the explosives for that matter,

1599
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 8: but you got to get some production and you got

1600
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 8: to get it from him. And I think he's going

1601
01:07:58,600 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 8: to be up for the challenge. He's gonna be up

1602
01:07:59,920 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 8: for a job, and I can't wait to see what

1603
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 8: happens Drew.

1604
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 5: That goes to my point earlier.

1605
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 3: By watching those two games against the Niners and against

1606
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 3: the Dolphins, Devin h Chan and Christian McCaffrey got theirs

1607
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 3: got theirs early in the game when it was still

1608
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 3: a ballgame. The longer you keep it a game, the

1609
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:21,599
Speaker 3: longer motor becomes an even bigger factor and stays a factor.

1610
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 3: And so that's that's key. You keep it a one

1611
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 3: score game throughout, or you take the lead, motor becomes

1612
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 3: an even bigger factor. What happened in those games is

1613
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,560
Speaker 3: the Niners went down early in the second half, like

1614
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 3: thirty to twelve, and the running game had to go.

1615
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 10: Same thing in the Dolphins game.

1616
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 3: The Dolphins got down twenty eight to thirteen, and they

1617
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 3: just jettisoned a Chan basically, and away you went with

1618
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 3: the passing game.

1619
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 10: And so you can't allow that to happen.

1620
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 3: You've got to stay ahead within a score so that

1621
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 3: motor continues to stay a factor and the run game

1622
01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 3: continues to stay a factor against them.

1623
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 8: Let's do it, man, It's almost it's been fifty years

1624
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 8: since the city of Houston has had a football team

1625
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:08,320
Speaker 8: go to the AFC Title game. Texans is gonna win.

1626
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:12,520
Speaker 8: That's gonna happen, and I can't wait for it. And regardless,

1627
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 8: we're gonna be back next week doing one of these,

1628
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:15,960
Speaker 8: but I'd rather be doing one of these getting ready

1629
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 8: for the AFC Championship game.

1630
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, if that happens on Saturday, we win

1631
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 2: this game and we're going to the NFC Championship Game,

1632
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 2: I will cry.

1633
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 1: I will probably cry on the air. I'm just gonna

1634
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 1: tell you.

1635
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 3: This is my third Division round game lost of the

1636
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 3: Patriots played really hard.

1637
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 2: I mean it was twenty four to sixteen going into

1638
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. First play the fourth quarter, Brock through

1639
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 2: an interception and that dream. What the hell, Kansas City.

1640
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 2: We had a twenty four to nothing lead, if you

1641
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 2: haven't heard, and then things went to sideways and you

1642
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 2: know the rest this one, we'll see.

1643
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 1: Here's one thing I told Mark.

1644
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 2: Every game we've been down by four a half seventeen thirteen, seventeen, thirteen, seventeen, thirteen,

1645
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 2: twenty eight.

1646
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 7: Twenty four.

1647
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 2: Probably it's gonna be a little different game, a little

1648
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 2: different outcome than what they have been, and different from

1649
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 2: week one now three other games, I will pick them

1650
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 2: straight up and against the spread.

1651
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 1: Next right here on Texans All Access, What's happened? Everybody?

1652
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,839
Speaker 3: Welcome back to a Friday edition of Texans All Access.

1653
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 3: Hopefully not the last one of the year, but it

1654
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 3: is a playoff edition brought to you by Mattress Firm.

1655
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,679
Speaker 2: I'm your host, John Harris, Football and on a sideline reporter,

1656
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 2: and let's get to it. It's one of my favorite segments.

1657
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 2: Every single week. It's crank my music. It's time to

1658
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,639
Speaker 2: pick divisional round games.

1659
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 1: Now.

1660
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,560
Speaker 2: What I love about doing this is the fact that

1661
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 2: there are typically what sixteen games over the weekend, right,

1662
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:35,680
Speaker 2: you know, one on Thursday, You got them all on

1663
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 2: Sunday except for a Monday night game, and then you've

1664
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 2: had you know, Monday night double headers and things like that.

1665
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 7: Once you get the.

1666
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:45,640
Speaker 1: Division rounds four games, that's it.

1667
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 7: There's four games.

1668
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: And obviously I never picked the Texans.

1669
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 2: Can never go against my heart and my head, even

1670
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 2: though I feel pretty solid about what the Texans are

1671
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 2: bringing it to the table. Baltimore is favored by nine.

1672
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 2: The numbers moved a little bit one it to nine

1673
01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 2: and a half. I heard many Yabe is Landry today,

1674
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 2: Sam was eight. I don't know where that is. But

1675
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:07,920
Speaker 2: the Texans are not the biggest underdog. That would be

1676
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:09,440
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers.

1677
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 1: So let's get to that game.

1678
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:13,080
Speaker 3: Green Bay Packers taken on in the San Francisco forty

1679
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:17,640
Speaker 3: nine ers. Jordan Love was outstanding pretty similar numbers to

1680
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,800
Speaker 3: almost identical numbers to CJ. Stroud, sixteen to twenty one,

1681
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 3: two to seventy two, and three touchdowns against the Cowboys.

1682
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 1: Blew them out forty eight to thirty two down in Dallas.

1683
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:30,599
Speaker 3: That gave them a the first win of its kind

1684
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 3: for a seven seed in the NFL playoffs.

1685
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 8: So you got that.

1686
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 1: It's kind of like UNBC beat in.

1687
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 2: Virginia in March Madness a few years ago. Uh, but

1688
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 2: you got the forty nine ers at home. They're rested.

1689
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 2: Rock Perdy's got an opportunity back in the playoffs to

1690
01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 2: do some things. When the forty nine ers don't play well.

1691
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,839
Speaker 2: It's a lot having to do with the quarterback situation.

1692
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 2: Turning the ball over. That happened against the Ravens. It

1693
01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 2: cost them badly. Brock didn't play terribly, but he just

1694
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:01,759
Speaker 2: turned the ball over too much. I don't think that happens.

1695
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 2: I think they beat the Packers by ten. I'm going

1696
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 2: thirty four to twenty four ten or more, but I

1697
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 2: feel thirty four to twenty four is pretty solid. They

1698
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 2: just think the Packers can move the ball a little

1699
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:13,639
Speaker 2: bit with Jordan Love and this offense. But a ten

1700
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 2: point win gives San Francisco a cover of nine and

1701
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 2: a half points. Nine and a half point favorite. The

1702
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 2: Niners are so Niners win. NFC Championship will take place

1703
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 2: in San Francisco. Santa Clara and the forty nine Ers

1704
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 2: win thirty four to twenty four. Okay, thirty four to

1705
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 2: twenty four. Let's get to the other game of its

1706
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,639
Speaker 2: kind of the NFC. This will be on Sunday. Kick

1707
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 2: is at two o'clock Bucks taking on the Lions. The

1708
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 2: Lions are favored by six and a half.

1709
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 3: I don't know quite how I feel about that, to

1710
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:46,720
Speaker 3: be honest with you, because I feel like, actually I

1711
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 3: do know how to feel about it. I think the

1712
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 3: Buccaneers are going to cover that number. I think it's

1713
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 3: gonna be pretty close. I think both teams can score.

1714
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 3: The number I really like is the over under. Now,

1715
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:57,639
Speaker 3: I know Todd Bowles is a defensive dude.

1716
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 2: The only game of nine points last week up, but

1717
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 2: forty nine and a half that feels really low.

1718
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 1: I think both teams.

1719
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:06,600
Speaker 3: Are gonna put the ball on the end zone. I

1720
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 3: think the Buccaneers are gonna get inside that six and

1721
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 3: a half.

1722
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 2: I think the Lions are comfortable playing that kind of game,

1723
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 2: keeping it close, but winning it in the end.

1724
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: And I think that's exactly what happens.

1725
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:21,519
Speaker 3: Bucks cover, Lions win, Bucks covered Lions win, sets up

1726
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:22,599
Speaker 3: Lions forty nine.

1727
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:24,480
Speaker 1: Ers for the NFC Championship.

1728
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:29,919
Speaker 3: All Right, the final game Sunday, early evening, Chiefs Bills.

1729
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 1: A lot of snow still in Orchard Park. It's the

1730
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 1: first time.

1731
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:39,080
Speaker 2: The Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes as the starter will go

1732
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 2: on the road to play playoff game. Now, the Bills

1733
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:45,720
Speaker 2: ended up winning that game in Kansas City, and I

1734
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,680
Speaker 2: believe if Kadarius Tony was not ruled off sides, I

1735
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:50,639
Speaker 2: think the Bills would have not even made the playoffs.

1736
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 1: But as I've said this many times, you let him in.

1737
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:57,679
Speaker 2: Now they're a problem. I think the Bills are gonna

1738
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:00,080
Speaker 2: win this. I think they're gonna cover the three. I

1739
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:01,840
Speaker 2: think they're going to knock the Chiefs out for the

1740
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:04,439
Speaker 2: first time and not being an AFC Championship game since

1741
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:05,559
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes has been there.

1742
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 3: He'll make it close for a while, but then the

1743
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:09,760
Speaker 3: Bills will pull away in the fourth quarter.

1744
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:11,720
Speaker 2: The Chiefs will come a part of the Seams, and

1745
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:16,519
Speaker 2: the Bills will host the AFC Championship. Hopefully it's against

1746
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans.

1747
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 1: So there you go.

1748
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:24,800
Speaker 3: Niners winning cover, Lions win, Bucks cover, Bills win, Bills.

1749
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 1: Cover, Texans win. It's gonna set up one heck of

1750
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 1: an AFC Championship weekend. Okay, we get back.

1751

01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 3: against the Baltimore Ravens right now.

1766
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:27,839
Speaker 4: Well, here he is in a Hundai Texans radio studio

1767
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:30,640
Speaker 4: with his voice in full region, on his way to

1768
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 4: the divisional round. Coach Demiko Ryan's coach, congratulations on the

1769
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 4: enormous win over Cleveland and getting into the next round.

1770
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 4: Your thoughts on where you sit right now?

1771
01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 5: Thank you, Mark. It's an exciting moment for Houston Texas football,

1772
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 5: all right, to have such a huge win versus a

1773
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:49,679
Speaker 5: tough opponent in Cleveland. Brown's very, very proud of our guys.

1774
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 5: But then might I talked about it last week, but

1775
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 5: hopefully our guys come with that same focus. I can

1776
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:57,800
Speaker 5: feel I felt the last Tuesday how locked in our

1777
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 5: guys were, how holy they would be throughout the they

1778
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 5: were throughout the entire week. And when you feel your

1779
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 5: team you feel like that laser focus, you feel them

1780
01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 5: being locked in. It gives you that sense of confidence

1781
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 5: as a coach. It's like, all right, no matter no

1782
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 5: matter what we call, right, they're gonna they're ready for it.

1783
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:17,799
Speaker 5: They're up for the moment, they're up for the challenge,

1784
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 5: and we need the same thing again this week, coach.

1785
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:22,559
Speaker 5: I don't mean it's the way of, oh, you guys

1786
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:24,000
Speaker 5: want to revenge or anything like that.

1787
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:28,000
Speaker 3: But how much of the focus do you think was

1788
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 3: there because of how Christmas eve Day went against them

1789
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 3: the first time?

1790
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know that played a huge part in uh

1791
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 5: being locked in right anytime, you feel like not that

1792
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 5: they embarrassed us, I told the guys's almost like like

1793
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:45,320
Speaker 5: we embarrass ourselves in a sense because and I feel

1794
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 5: like we didn't show up. I've told the guys felt

1795
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:51,559
Speaker 5: like we were more so too focused on Christmas as

1796
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 5: opposed to being ready for the game and prepare for

1797
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:57,280
Speaker 5: the opportunity that we had to kind of kind of

1798
01:16:57,320 --> 01:16:59,760
Speaker 5: seal our fate and get that playoff spot locked up

1799
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 5: a lot sooner, right than the last game of the season.

1800
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,640
Speaker 5: So that does play a part in like being a

1801
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:08,639
Speaker 5: little focused. Sometimes it takes that failure. Sometimes it takes

1802
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 5: right getting punched in the mouth to kind of wake

1803
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 5: up for a second and see like, oh, I have

1804
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 5: to make sure I'm one with p's and q's, so

1805
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 5: the embarrassment doesn't happen again.

1806
01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:21,800
Speaker 4: Coach, it seemed like for a time this season you

1807
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 4: weren't stringing together the games the way you really wanted to.

1808
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 4: Maybe you had to win and then maybe a game

1809
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:29,600
Speaker 4: you didn't like, and then another way. So it was

1810
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 4: a little bit inconsistent. But now you've won three in

1811
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 4: a row head into the divisional round. What's the difference here?

1812
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:38,800
Speaker 4: What are you seeing out of your team overall week

1813
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,040
Speaker 4: to week prep and then execution throughout the game.

1814
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 5: For sure, it starts with the prep. And what I'm

1815
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:46,760
Speaker 5: seeing is consistent prep. Right, It's consistent prep. It's not

1816
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 5: a we're not a team that's surprised that we're that

1817
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 5: we're kind of here, it's or happy that we're it's consistent.

1818
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:57,560
Speaker 5: Everybody's working the same way, with the same intent, the

1819
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 5: same detail each week. And that's what I've seen these

1820
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 5: past couple of weeks. And you know that way, nobody's

1821
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 5: getting too high like oh we're here, Like no, everybody

1822
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 5: we've been talking about this for a while. It is

1823
01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:12,600
Speaker 5: like we're not just here just a loan for the

1824
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:15,680
Speaker 5: ride and just happy that the Texans are in the playoffs,

1825
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,640
Speaker 5: and now we're just supposed to be happy that we

1826
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 5: won our first game. Like you, no, the ultimate goal

1827
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 5: as everybody who suits up in the NFL, is to accomplish,

1828
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 5: you know, win it all right, and our guys understand

1829
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 5: that focus. And you don't get there just by talking

1830
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 5: about it. You get there by working at it, dlinguly

1831
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 5: throughout the week, being being on it in the games,

1832
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 5: like when you line up in the games, just executing,

1833
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 5: not making a moment bigger than what it is, but

1834
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 5: just playing good football, and just I think I always

1835
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:47,519
Speaker 5: try to pull our guys focus back to that, like

1836
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,680
Speaker 5: no matter how many TV crews are around, no matter

1837
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 5: how many interviews you're doing, like what happens when the

1838
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 5: ball is snapped, It comes back to just playing fundamentals technique,

1839
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 5: playing really clean football, and if you do that consistently

1840
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 5: for four quarters, we'll be where we want to be.

1841
01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:05,720
Speaker 1: Coach.

1842
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:08,960
Speaker 3: There was a point in that game first but mid

1843
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:13,240
Speaker 3: first quarter through the twelve minute mark of the second quarter,

1844
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 3: and I made a note of that because after that

1845
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 3: they don't score, but kickfield goal, they go down a

1846
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,600
Speaker 3: score You come back, Nico scorers. They go down and

1847
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:24,439
Speaker 3: they score with Kareem Hunt. Then Brevit gets his touchdown

1848
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:27,280
Speaker 3: to put you up seventeen fourteen? What stop the shootout?

1849
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:27,640
Speaker 7: I e.

1850
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 3: What was the key at that point for you guys

1851
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:32,479
Speaker 3: defensively to not give up another point the rest of

1852
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:32,840
Speaker 3: the game.

1853
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 5: What I've told our guys at halftime is and we

1854
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 5: cannot give up the explosive pass. We knew that again

1855
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 5: going in. It was almost like, oh man, is this

1856
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 5: a repeat of the Christmas Eve battle. It's like, we

1857
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:48,720
Speaker 5: cannot allow them to throw the explosive passes. Whatever you do,

1858
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 5: just make sure we stay back right right. Make sure

1859
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 5: we stay back, make sure we're on top of the receivers,

1860
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:57,680
Speaker 5: and make sure we force the ball to the checkdowns

1861
01:19:57,800 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 5: as much as possible. I don't care if they do.

1862
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:03,200
Speaker 5: I wouldn't even throw it to the checkdown every single time.

1863
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:06,559
Speaker 5: And I think when we were able to stay back

1864
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:09,680
Speaker 5: and they forced that, and guys were able to see like, okay, right,

1865
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 5: can they methodically just drive down the field on is No.

1866
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:14,200
Speaker 5: The only way they can get down the field is

1867
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:16,800
Speaker 5: if they create some type of chunk play. And when

1868
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 5: we stopped the chunk plays and guys were dialed in

1869
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,800
Speaker 5: on eliminating the chunk play right now, we were able

1870
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:25,760
Speaker 5: to really get after them, and the biggest thing were

1871
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 5: the third down stops right, getting off on third down,

1872
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 5: getting the pressure on Flacco, making him fluster, making him

1873
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 5: throw some you know, some bad passes at times. I

1874
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 5: think that was the key.

1875
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:40,880
Speaker 4: How much do you practice blocking during an interception return?

1876
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 4: Because coach, that was a parade going down the sideline.

1877
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 4: When Steven Nelson got that first one, everybody seemed really

1878
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 4: enthusiastic about being able to execute what they had learned.

1879
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 5: Yes, for sure, it's something we've been teaching since training camp.

1880
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:57,439
Speaker 5: We teach sideline return and we do it and our

1881
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 5: turnover drills and we'll do line return drills and we

1882
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 5: kind of kind of teach the guys like, first thing, first,

1883
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:07,639
Speaker 5: everybody wants to go when the ball it's return, everybody

1884
01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:09,920
Speaker 5: wants to just take off and run. Well, the first

1885
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,559
Speaker 5: key is you have to block the guy who they

1886
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 5: were throwing the ball to. So we say you blocked

1887
01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:18,160
Speaker 5: the intended receiver first. I think Desmond was able to

1888
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:21,840
Speaker 5: get the intended receiver right. And then if you got

1889
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 5: the ball, make sure you get to the near side

1890
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:26,360
Speaker 5: line and get down the numbers. And we kept and

1891
01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 5: we call it sideline near side line return everybody blocks,

1892
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:32,840
Speaker 5: make sure you block high end in front. So we

1893
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,840
Speaker 5: had we had the guys running down the sideline and

1894
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 5: Cashman starts with the big block on the offensive line

1895
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 5: and he takes him out, and then Stingley finishes with

1896
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:43,759
Speaker 5: a great block. I think it was on the running

1897
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:45,639
Speaker 5: back who showed up and Stingle was able to get

1898
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 5: a block on him. And that was the That was

1899
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 5: the cleanings I was selling the coaches. That's the tease

1900
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:52,600
Speaker 5: tape right there. That's the teach tape for how you

1901
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:56,360
Speaker 5: get a sideline return. That was perfect and coach along

1902
01:21:56,439 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 5: those lines.

1903
01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:59,560
Speaker 3: I know, from from our angle you're not able to

1904
01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 3: see this, but on the TV copy they showed from

1905
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:05,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, kind of from this angle over here

1906
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 3: where they were shooting kind of down our sideline, there's

1907
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:12,040
Speaker 3: a mad man in a red shirt running with Nelson.

1908
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 3: I mean he's flying, but besides him, which is you.

1909
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:19,760
Speaker 3: I saw the offensive guys jumping off the bench like

1910
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 3: Nico's running just outside of you to go like meet Nelson,

1911
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:26,320
Speaker 3: And it felt like it was that perfect moment of

1912
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:29,719
Speaker 3: this team of what it's been about. Offense, happy for defense, defense,

1913
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:32,479
Speaker 3: happy for special teams. Everybody kind of happy for each

1914
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 3: other's success. I don't know if you had a chance

1915
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 3: to see that, but did you kind of sense that

1916
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 3: when that play happened, all of everybody just running on

1917
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:41,080
Speaker 3: the field and getting excited about what just happened.

1918
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:43,639
Speaker 5: Yeah. I didn't see it until after, because, as you said,

1919
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 5: the mad Man was running as well. You're focused. I

1920
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:51,120
Speaker 5: was almost in the end zone myself. But yeah, after

1921
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 5: seeing him, now I realize it. Like I'm trying to

1922
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:56,200
Speaker 5: get guys off because the clocket started, so now I'm

1923
01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 5: trying to get guys off the field so we can

1924
01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:00,240
Speaker 5: kick the field go. And I look up and it's

1925
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:03,960
Speaker 5: Nico is Brevin. It's all of the offensive guys all right,

1926
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:09,040
Speaker 5: reserved guys out on. Everybody's just celebrating that moment with Nielsen,

1927
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 5: and that's cool. That's the team. That's the enthusiasm that

1928
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 5: I love to see from our team, and that's that

1929
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:19,439
Speaker 5: defining moment of everybody is truly happy for the success

1930
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:23,840
Speaker 5: of their teammate. Unselfish unselfish played by everyone, but we're

1931
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 5: truly thrilled excited for our guys when they make plays.

1932
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:29,800
Speaker 3: You're not a mad man, but in that moment, but

1933
01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:32,160
Speaker 3: you run it like you were chasing running back back

1934
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 3: in the day.

1935
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 5: That's for sure.

1936
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 4: Coach Christian gets the next one, the next pick six,

1937
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:39,600
Speaker 4: And I know you've answered some questions about him. I

1938
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 4: get the feeling the winning is the best thing, but

1939
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 4: you really enjoy the individuals having their game improve, the

1940
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:51,840
Speaker 4: individuals involved in seeing them improve the level of their performance.

1941
01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:53,920
Speaker 5: As a teacher, that must mean a lot to you.

1942
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:58,640
Speaker 5: It's everything. It's what I truly believe in my philosophy

1943
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 5: of coaching. It's all about, you know, it's all about

1944
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 5: developing young man and to see you know, it's not

1945
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 5: gonna be perfect, it's not gonna be all pretty from

1946
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:11,799
Speaker 5: the start, but you to see a guy like Christian

1947
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 5: grow throughout the entire year, to see him have that

1948
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 5: same play a couple of weeks ago versus the Titans, right,

1949
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:20,840
Speaker 5: and we're able to kind of correct it, and hey,

1950
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 5: this time, it just makes sure you step in front

1951
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 5: and to see that moment just happening as a teacher,

1952
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:30,320
Speaker 5: As a coach, there's no prouder moment when you see

1953
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 5: a young man step in and make that play, take

1954
01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 5: the coaching point to heart, and actually execute it the

1955
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 5: proper way. And for him to make the biggest play

1956
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:42,680
Speaker 5: of his career, and I'm so excited for Christian, so

1957
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 5: proud of him right for just making a big play.

1958
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:49,559
Speaker 5: And this, I tell guys, it's not when you try

1959
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 5: to chase big plays like they don't happen, but when

1960
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:55,920
Speaker 5: you're just focused on your individual job and you're just

1961
01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:58,760
Speaker 5: focused on your technique and you do that the right way,

1962
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:01,639
Speaker 5: like the big play will come and none speaks better

1963
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 5: than that. When that Christian made coach Just kind of

1964
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 5: along those lines.

1965
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:09,719
Speaker 3: I've always felt like at some point a coach stays

1966
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 3: in it because the coaching bug strikes them at some point.

1967
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:15,720
Speaker 3: Did you have a moment as a younger coach when

1968
01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 3: something like that happened where you taught a guy a

1969
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 3: technique and you see him have success and you're like, yo,

1970
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 3: I love seeing that happen.

1971
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:25,320
Speaker 5: Is that is that kind of the way it maybe

1972
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 5: happened for you.

1973
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 3: Did the coaching bug strike when you had kind of

1974
01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 3: a teaching lesson you gave to a player and he

1975
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 3: was successful because of it?

1976
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,160
Speaker 5: I mean it started really, I mean for me in

1977
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 5: high school, I was helping out with the high school

1978
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:40,160
Speaker 5: kids during the during the lockout year. It was just

1979
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:43,679
Speaker 5: seeing these kids just get better and better each week,

1980
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 5: and to see it all come to like we had

1981
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:49,080
Speaker 5: one spring game, and to see the kids go out

1982
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:52,680
Speaker 5: and play fast and execute and make plays, and to

1983
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 5: see their faces when they one was like, oh wow,

1984
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:59,080
Speaker 5: that really sparked a bug. Is just seeing from where

1985
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 5: we started and seeing the growth and development of those

1986
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 5: young kids just within a three week span, and to

1987
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,680
Speaker 5: see them finished with the win and how excited they

1988
01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:10,240
Speaker 5: were to win. I was like, Wow, this is pretty cool.

1989
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,040
Speaker 5: And that was the moment that coaching got.

1990
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:15,080
Speaker 4: Me as far as where we are right now, and

1991
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:16,680
Speaker 4: you talked about it, you have to do what you

1992
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:19,280
Speaker 4: do and not let the moment get too big. How

1993
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:21,680
Speaker 4: much do you rely on your experience maybe with the

1994
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:24,839
Speaker 4: forty nine ers advancing or other members of the staff

1995
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 4: who have been on teams that have advanced, and you

1996
01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:29,640
Speaker 4: yourself as a player, how much do you rely on

1997
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,960
Speaker 4: that stuff and draw from it as you address the

1998
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:34,800
Speaker 4: players getting into this next round.

1999
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 5: Right Being with the Niners past couple of years and

2000
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 5: having that experience of going, you know, a couple of

2001
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:44,320
Speaker 5: NFC Championships games, Super Bowl, and I remember I just

2002
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 5: think back to the preparation, right, and how we prepare

2003
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:50,080
Speaker 5: throughout the weeks for those games, and the one thing

2004
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:54,040
Speaker 5: that always stuck with me is nothing changed. Yeah, okay,

2005
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:57,400
Speaker 5: it's like at that moment, like you don't nobody hyped

2006
01:26:57,439 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 5: it up as this big game, and it's like it

2007
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 5: will it's the next game, right, And we kept that focus,

2008
01:27:04,600 --> 01:27:06,920
Speaker 5: and I think that's what allowed me to have that

2009
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 5: Having that experience now it helps me to speak to

2010
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:14,200
Speaker 5: our team and to keep them right steady. Yeah, even

2011
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 5: though we have a lot of young guys, I don't

2012
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:18,479
Speaker 5: want our guys getting too amped up for a game

2013
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 5: just because oh the weight of this game means this,

2014
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 5: or like no, like, just stay focused on your execution

2015
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 5: because I know that's what wins. And I know when

2016
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 5: it didn't happen when I lost games in the playoffs.

2017
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 5: I know what happened in those games. It wasn't guy's

2018
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 5: thinking about that moment too or trying to make plays

2019
01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:40,760
Speaker 5: in that moment, but it just didn't execute when we

2020
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:44,240
Speaker 5: should have. Or man, we worked on this particular play

2021
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 5: and we're not where we're supposed to be, or the

2022
01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:50,760
Speaker 5: receiver didn't run a particular route that he should have

2023
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 5: rant it was just that was That's what happened in

2024
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 5: those games, and that's what causes you to lose those games.

2025
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:59,599
Speaker 5: Is when guys lose focus, guys lose sight of executing

2026
01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:02,679
Speaker 5: the job up the proper way. That's what loses those games.

2027
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:04,200
Speaker 3: And one of the things I love coach as a

2028
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:07,120
Speaker 3: sideline reporter is the fact that the last four games

2029
01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:11,000
Speaker 3: my math is correct, maybe the last five have been inside.

2030
01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 3: That's very nice for a solid reporter. With all the

2031
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:16,840
Speaker 3: equipment everything, I don't get wet, But now you gotta

2032
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 3: go outside, as does the team. And it looks like

2033
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a little bit chillier than it is

2034
01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 3: in Houston. But we've got some chilly weather here. How

2035
01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:26,799
Speaker 3: does that help kind of preparation for the weather aspect

2036
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 3: of things.

2037
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:29,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think with our weather here in Houston this

2038
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:31,599
Speaker 5: week being cold, I think it helps a lot. Now

2039
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:33,840
Speaker 5: we can I guess you can get used to it

2040
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 5: a little bit having to prepare throughout the week. So, man,

2041
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 5: we're fortunate that we do have, you know, unseasonably cold

2042
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:42,200
Speaker 5: weather here in Houston, and we can go out and

2043
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:44,840
Speaker 5: prepare and our guys can see, you know, a glimpse

2044
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 5: of what it will feel like. You know it'll be

2045
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 5: much colder whether we're in Baltimore or Kansas City, it'll

2046
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 5: be much colder. But for those three and a half hours,

2047
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:55,080
Speaker 5: the tail guy lock in. It doesn't matter. You got

2048
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:57,800
Speaker 5: to lock in right what's ahead of us, what's on

2049
01:28:57,920 --> 01:29:01,360
Speaker 5: the other side, right of of winning this game, Like

2050
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:03,720
Speaker 5: that's all that matters. If your focus is on that,

2051
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:07,600
Speaker 5: then you can minimize you know how cold you'll be

2052
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:10,200
Speaker 5: in that moment. Yep, well, last week was no picnic

2053
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:11,200
Speaker 5: either for Houston.

2054
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:13,599
Speaker 4: Anyway, you were practicing outside getting ready for an indoor

2055
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 4: game and the wind.

2056
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 5: Coach, I think the wind has got to be a

2057
01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:16,839
Speaker 5: big factor.

2058
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:19,840
Speaker 4: When the Texans with you played at Green Bay at

2059
01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:23,200
Speaker 4: eight really cold, single digits, but Shop and the guys

2060
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:24,799
Speaker 4: talked about, hey, it wasn't windy.

2061
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:26,720
Speaker 5: They threw for over four hundred yards of that game.

2062
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:27,160
Speaker 7: That's it.

2063
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 5: The win is a huge factor. It's one thing of

2064
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:32,519
Speaker 5: being cold, but the wind and when you can't really

2065
01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:35,599
Speaker 5: throw the football like that's that's where it will struggle

2066
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:37,920
Speaker 5: and that's where it can cause some issues. So hopefully

2067
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,040
Speaker 5: the win winds isn't up too high so we can

2068
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:43,920
Speaker 5: allow CJ to spend it a little bit coach.

2069
01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:46,720
Speaker 3: I know, it's hard when you're in the moment and

2070
01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:49,200
Speaker 3: your coach and your calling ball plays and you're you know,

2071
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:51,559
Speaker 3: scoring touchdowns and you're trying to get guys. You're here

2072
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:54,920
Speaker 3: in the coaching moment no matter what. Was there any

2073
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:58,400
Speaker 3: point on Saturday where you were able to kind of say, dang, man,

2074
01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:00,760
Speaker 3: that's pretty cool. I mean, the crowd showed up, was loud.

2075
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:02,840
Speaker 3: Was there any kind of moment when you looked around like, dang,

2076
01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 3: it's cool.

2077
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 5: At the moment for me was when the lights were

2078
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:09,599
Speaker 5: off in the stadium and everybody was holding the cell

2079
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:12,840
Speaker 5: phone over the lights. I was just I mean on

2080
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:15,360
Speaker 5: the headset at that moment. I was like, oh, wow,

2081
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:17,600
Speaker 5: this is such a cool moment. I haven't seen this

2082
01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:20,920
Speaker 5: before here in Houston all year, Like what a cool moment.

2083
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,160
Speaker 5: I was just telling guy, hey, make sure you take

2084
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:25,800
Speaker 5: this in, take this moment in because this is a

2085
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:30,080
Speaker 5: really cool atmosphere. Our fans showed up big time for us.

2086
01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:32,920
Speaker 5: They were loud, and to see that moment in the

2087
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:35,240
Speaker 5: stadium where I think it was a timeout or we

2088
01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:38,600
Speaker 5: were in between quarters. So that was the moment that

2089
01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:42,000
Speaker 5: I always remember in that Browns game, there of just

2090
01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:47,320
Speaker 5: how the lights off, the cell phone lights out? All right?

2091
01:30:47,479 --> 01:30:50,679
Speaker 5: How many fans showed up? That was a really cool moment.

2092
01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:53,200
Speaker 4: For us, Absolutely great moment, and a moment later you

2093
01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:55,400
Speaker 4: were like, all right, back to the intestiny, let's go,

2094
01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:59,000
Speaker 4: let's go. But I noticed that in the locker room

2095
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:02,840
Speaker 4: afterwards there was such joy after you beat the Colts.

2096
01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:06,240
Speaker 4: So there was joy after beating the Browns, But nobody

2097
01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:09,160
Speaker 4: is ready to say this is it. Nobody is ready

2098
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:12,840
Speaker 4: to say what an accomplishment this season is? They really

2099
01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:15,519
Speaker 4: want more. You feel that you can sense it in

2100
01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:16,280
Speaker 4: all the players.

2101
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:19,240
Speaker 5: You definitely sense it. I think there was a yeah,

2102
01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:21,760
Speaker 5: the moment versus the Colts, it was that was a

2103
01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 5: great moment. We knew we were in and that's someone

2104
01:31:24,600 --> 01:31:26,840
Speaker 5: that we had been talking about all just give us

2105
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:28,439
Speaker 5: an opportunity to get in and get it, and we

2106
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:31,320
Speaker 5: earned that right to get in. Think how that game,

2107
01:31:31,640 --> 01:31:34,240
Speaker 5: how we won that game too, Like that was an

2108
01:31:34,400 --> 01:31:37,519
Speaker 5: exciting moment for us. That was a special moment. You

2109
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:41,479
Speaker 5: come into this Browns game and everybody kind of it

2110
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:44,280
Speaker 5: felt like they knew it going into the week and

2111
01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:47,639
Speaker 5: they know we want more. So that moment in locker

2112
01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:51,240
Speaker 5: room probably wasn't. It wasn't as crazy because guys expected it.

2113
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:54,559
Speaker 5: It's confidence, and that's what you wanted your team playing

2114
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:58,439
Speaker 5: better at the end of the year. Confident going into games,

2115
01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:02,280
Speaker 5: expecting to win games, expecting to play well. That's what

2116
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:05,360
Speaker 5: you need in the playoffs. I answer my question about confidence,

2117
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:07,120
Speaker 5: that was exactly it. All right.

2118
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 4: One thing I want to ask you about though, since

2119
01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:13,880
Speaker 4: Devin Signaltary has really taken off Week nine, you're running game.

2120
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:15,880
Speaker 4: I know you want to run for even more yards.

2121
01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:18,400
Speaker 4: But we've talked about this from time to time, but

2122
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:20,519
Speaker 4: this is something you can really rely on. Now, this

2123
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:23,000
Speaker 4: is something you can take with you. You know who

2124
01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:25,519
Speaker 4: you are, as opposed to Week one, where it's sort

2125
01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:28,160
Speaker 4: of feeling things out. We're thinking back to that sieg

2126
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:30,479
Speaker 4: had only played a handful of snaps in preseason games.

2127
01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:32,960
Speaker 4: That's his first real NFL games. So you guys have

2128
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:35,040
Speaker 4: a lot of experience compared to that out.

2129
01:32:35,160 --> 01:32:37,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, a lot more experience than you know.

2130
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:39,640
Speaker 5: I always say, you want to run the ball, right,

2131
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:42,120
Speaker 5: you want you run the ball to win games, but

2132
01:32:42,760 --> 01:32:46,360
Speaker 5: you know the score. You got to throw the ball, yeah, right,

2133
01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:49,519
Speaker 5: And so it's uh, we know who we are, right,

2134
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:52,000
Speaker 5: we don't have to force it. If it's there and

2135
01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:54,080
Speaker 5: we can pop some runs, we will pop some. But

2136
01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:56,960
Speaker 5: you know, we have a quarterback who can throw it

2137
01:32:57,080 --> 01:32:59,240
Speaker 5: and we can get yards in the air even on

2138
01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:02,280
Speaker 5: the checkdown on players like to play the Brevin like CJ.

2139
01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:06,479
Speaker 5: Can throw the ball five yards and get credited with

2140
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:12,479
Speaker 5: us seventy six seventy six yard past. So it's you know, however,

2141
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:14,240
Speaker 5: we have to get it done at this point, it

2142
01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:15,960
Speaker 5: really doesn't matter. Just get it done.

2143
01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:20,040
Speaker 3: Come from week one to week whatever we are. Now,

2144
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:22,760
Speaker 3: what's probably the thing you're most proud of about your team?

2145
01:33:22,960 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 5: I would say, Man, I'm proud of the growth, but

2146
01:33:25,280 --> 01:33:28,240
Speaker 5: I'm proud of just at this moment right now. It's like,

2147
01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:32,760
Speaker 5: I'm proud of just the confidence that we've earned. And

2148
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:35,559
Speaker 5: I always talk about confidence is earned, it's not given.

2149
01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:39,120
Speaker 5: And I'm proud of that confidence that we've earned as

2150
01:33:39,160 --> 01:33:41,479
