Mark Vandermaer with you on a Thursday. That 14 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 2: is really exciting because the home opener awaits. It's happening 15 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 2: Sunday at noon NRG Stadium. If you're lucky enough to 16 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 2: go to the game, be sure to be there early 17 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 2: eleven thirty. I suggest eleven thirty to watch the new 18 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: pregame presentation cooked up by the Texans organization. And it 19 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,959 Speaker 2: is fire. It is going to be awesome on Sunday. 20 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: Get there early, be it's the freaking Colts. Bring the 21 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: vocal cords. Let's have a party. And speaking of party, 22 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: there's no man who knows more about that than the 23 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: General John McClain joining us tonight. Johnny Harris is going 24 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 2: to join us in segments two and three. General, how 25 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: is it going, my Fred? Are you fired up for 26 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: this one? 27 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 6: I'm sure am home. Opener gonna be a lot of 28 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 6: there's a buzz already about it. They need to win 29 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 6: this game. They've been favored by one and a half, 30 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 6: underdog by one. Now they're back being favored again by 31 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 6: one point. So it keeps switching. I picked the Texans 32 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 6: today to win sixteen thirteen with Sean Pendergas on our 33 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 6: Utopia Football podcast, and you know they should win this 34 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 6: game in the first of many battles we're gonna say 35 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 6: between CJ. Stroud and Anthony Richardson, Tobigo Ryans and Shane 36 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 6: Steichen who was interviewed by the Texans. They liked him 37 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 6: a lot. So there's a lot of reasons. And they are, 38 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 6: like you said, encouraging fans to get in there seats 39 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 6: because they've got this tribute to Damiko, who's starting I 40 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 6: think at eleven thirty. So there's a lot to look 41 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 6: forward to as far as Sunday's game in RG Stadium. 42 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: All right, General, a lot of things happen to the 43 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 2: opener at Baltimore that we're encouraging, but one of the 44 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: things that really needs to improve, and in a big hurry, 45 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 2: is the ground game. We know about the offensive line, 46 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: We know about guys playing different positions and even during 47 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: the game having to do the old switcheroo at certain positions. 48 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 2: Laramie Tunsel missed Wednesday's practice, but back at it today. 49 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: Great stuff to see limited participation with a reported knee injury. 50 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 2: We'll see what happens tomorrow. I would assume he would go. 51 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: But your thoughts on running the football better and what 52 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 2: it's going to take against the Indianapolis Colts because it's required. 53 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 6: We all talk about a rookie quarterback like CJ. Stroud, 54 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 6: also have a rookie head coach, and they have a 55 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 6: rookie offensive coordinator and play caller. Each of those guys 56 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 6: they don't just step in a mi imediately be great. 57 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 6: You know there is a learning curve for them as well. 58 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 6: And I thank Bobby Slowick knows he needs to run 59 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 6: the ball more. Twenty three carries is not enough and 60 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 6: they know three point one yards is not enough. But 61 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 6: getting Damian Piers the ball eleven times kind of reminded 62 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 6: me of last year. He needs to get the ball 63 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 6: at least twenty times. And people say, well, they want 64 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 6: to use him more on the pass, Well, why he's 65 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 6: a runner. He looks for punishment when you got to 66 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 6: have troll the ball, throw it to Devin Singletary. But 67 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,119 Speaker 6: I think those rushing numbers will improve and Peers will 68 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 6: get the ball a lot more. Now the problem, of course, 69 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 6: they got issues up front, and I saw this week 70 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 6: New England has all five of its offensive linemen who 71 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 6: are injured. Doesn't mean they're not going to play, but 72 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 6: the Texans, you know, they're on their third center, Titus Hour, 73 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,839 Speaker 6: George Fant. He'll be able to play, but they could 74 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 6: have been on their third right tackle, on their third guard. 75 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 6: So they have. And I wrote a column about this 76 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 6: on sports Radio six ten dot com about all the 77 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 6: problems in the offensive line. I've never seen anything like it, 78 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 6: just during early in the years. So obviously, Mark that 79 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 6: affects Bobby Slog's play calling and the flow of the game, 80 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 6: and he has to adjust because of it. 81 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: All right, general, we talked about the offense a little bit, 82 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: but defensively and as I look at the injury report, 83 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: some more here and release some of this. Graylon Arnold 84 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 2: was full participation today with a Hams dring George fan Man. 85 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 2: That injury looked bad during the game. It looked like, oh, 86 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: what is this going to be? But he was full today. 87 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: That was good. Denzel Paramin full as well. On that 88 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: side of the ball. Without Petrie and without Jimmy Ward, 89 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 2: they go with Eric Murray and they also go with M. J. 90 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 2: Stewart and Graylon Arnold. Is there for depth special teams 91 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 2: the rest of it. Those guys did okay in the 92 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: second half, no doubt about that. But what about playing 93 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: defense against this Colts team. They're gonna try to run 94 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 2: the fune the ball. It looks like Anthony Richardson is 95 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 2: the guy who ignites that ground game. He led the 96 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 2: team in rushing last week in the loss to Jacksonville. 97 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: What about going up against this Colts attack and how 98 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: they might try to adjust on the horseshoe side of things. 99 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 6: The best thing about the Texans performance in the first 100 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 6: game was a run defense. You have up one hundred 101 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 6: and ten yards three point four carry, you take away 102 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson's thirty eight, and they gave up two point 103 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 6: three at Carrie. And that's against the team that likes 104 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 6: to run the ball a lot in his three deep 105 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 6: at running back. Now, they gave up three yards three 106 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 6: touchdowns rushing in a two point conversion, but they were 107 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 6: all short yard is I think overall, the run defense 108 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 6: made dramatic improvements. And what they did in preparation for 109 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson and what they did when they carried out 110 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 6: their game plan that Demiico Ryans and Matt Burke put together, 111 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 6: I think serves them well. For Richardson, Richardson's bigger and 112 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 6: stronger and probably faster than Lamar Jackson, but he's not 113 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 6: going to be a loser. And there was a story 114 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 6: going around that after the game against Jacksonville which Jaguars, 115 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 6: Jaguars trailed early in the fourth quarter score two touchdowns 116 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 6: to win, Trevor Lawrence said something about Richardson Richardson about man, 117 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 6: you gotta be more careful because he did get knocked 118 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 6: out of the game. And he's a big target. You know, 119 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 6: he's not as big as Cam Newton, who was a 120 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 6: great runner, but he's close and he's faster. So I 121 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 6: would imagine that Shane Steichen would like to throw the 122 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 6: ball down the field since you have two backup safeties, 123 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 6: but they're both veterans. They started games, and so I 124 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 6: thought they had quitted themselves. Well, I thought that the cornerbacks, 125 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 6: all three of them, Darrin Stanley Junior, Stephen Nelson, and 126 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 6: Tavier Thomas all played really well. They started up front. 127 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 6: Of course, Willie Anderson Junior and Jonathan Grenard got good 128 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 6: pressure when Demko Ryans dialed up. Blin says twice with 129 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 6: Jaln Petrie, they they either confused or forced Lamar Jackson 130 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 6: to get rid of the ball away before he wanted to. 131 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 6: So I'm sure they're going to do that with Anthony Richardson, 132 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 6: of course, because he's a rookie. It's going to be 133 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 6: so much fun to watch him. And if he ran 134 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 6: ten times in the first game, he may run more 135 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:21,239 Speaker 6: than that here because the Jaguars totally shut down everybody else, 136 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 6: and I'm guessing Texan's got a good chance to do 137 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 6: that too. A Deon Jackson is the leading is the 138 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 6: main running back again. 139 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 2: John McClean joining us tonight, Texans All Access. Great to 140 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: have you listening Sunday noonkick Live right here the Bull 141 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 2: one hundred point three FM. 142 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: General. You mentioned it. 143 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: The Jaguars were trailing the Colts in the second half 144 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 2: your level of surprise. I know, weird stuff happens on 145 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 2: Week one from time to time, but how competitive can 146 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 2: the Colts be this year? I guess the answer is 147 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 2: how far Richardson can take them and the rest of it. 148 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: Do they get Taylor back? 149 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 2: But I thought the Colts put together a pretty good 150 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: showing at home against the Jaguars, who should come out 151 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 2: firing as the defending AFC South champs. That established their authority, 152 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: but they weren't able to do it right away. What 153 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: did you think of the way that game played out? 154 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 6: I was really surprised Mark when I looked up and 155 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 6: saw the Colts hanging as close as they were, because 156 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 6: we knew they weren't going to run the ball. We 157 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 6: knew Anthony Richardson was going to be their leading rusher. 158 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 6: You know, it's ridiculous if the Colts come in here 159 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 6: with Johnathan Taylor on pup and he just killed the 160 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 6: Texans two years ago and they don't have to go 161 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 6: against it. You know, they got the Colts have a 162 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 6: good offensive line. They have a really good front seven. 163 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 6: Their defensive line has just obliterated the Texans on big plays. 164 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 6: They're strong up front, and so they've got a good 165 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 6: defense that the Texans once again CJ's Trud's gonna have 166 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 6: to get rid of the ball fast. He's gonna have 167 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 6: to throw on the run a lot. Thing that impressed 168 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 6: me the most about him Mark He didn't force the ball, 169 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 6: He was accurate. He he is really good in his 170 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 6: ball placement. When I went back and watched it a 171 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 6: couple of times, I saw I saw corners breaking on 172 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 6: the out routes thinking they were going to get a 173 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 6: pig sakes, and the ball beat them to the receiver. 174 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 6: And I'm sure the Colts are going to be licking 175 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 6: their chops a well, you know what, I'll get that 176 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 6: ball and what There's two things they need to improve 177 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 6: on offense, but not burning all the time outs with 178 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 6: eight fourteen left in the first half. Niko said, they've 179 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 6: been working on that all the week. I'll guarantee you 180 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 6: that's not going to be an issue. And the other 181 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 6: one is Stroud's got learned not to take sacks that 182 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 6: average almost ten yards of sack. Richardson was sacked twice 183 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 6: for four yards, so he took small sacks. Probably didn't 184 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 6: want to throw it into coverage, which is very good 185 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 6: for a quarterback who didn't start but one season in college, 186 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 6: and I think that I think we're going to see 187 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 6: Strapp with it and Richardson, both of them had that 188 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 6: first game under their belt. We'll see them playing a 189 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 6: lot more confidence because both teams think they're going to 190 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 6: win this game. 191 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 2: General Jaguars, after beating the Indianapolis Colts on the road, 192 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 2: they're at home against the Kansas City Chiefs. Haven't played 193 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 2: since well a week could go tonight in the NFL 194 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 2: season opener. What do you think of that matchup here 195 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 2: as the Jaguars try to get to two and zero 196 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 2: before hosting the Houston Texans next week. 197 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 6: I wonder if Kadarius Tony it wouldn't surprise me if 198 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 6: he's acted. If Patrick Mahomes goes out of his way 199 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 6: to get him the ball early, because he was one 200 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 6: of the most criticized receivers after one game I can 201 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 6: ever remember, because it happened in finally like twenty three 202 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 6: million people and somebody pointed out and he just knocked 203 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 6: down on purpose. Ever passed on to him, they would 204 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 6: have won a game. And so he can't see the 205 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 6: Chiefs starting oh to two. But if the Jaguars do 206 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 6: start to and oh, there's gonna be a lot to 207 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 6: talk about them, especially if they beat the Chiefs. It's 208 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 6: one thing to beat the Calls, it's something else entirely 209 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 6: to beat Andy Reid and Patrick Mahs. Chris Jones is back, 210 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 6: they're great defensive tackle. Unfortunately he can't catch the ball. 211 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 6: Travis Kelsey's supposed to be back. So I think Kansas 212 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 6: City is going to win that game. And if Sean 213 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 6: Bendergass pointed out and I chuckled on our Utopia Football 214 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 6: podcast today, if the Texans win and the Chiefs win, 215 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 6: the Texans are playing for the first place next week 216 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 6: in Jacksonville. And even if the Texans losing to Jaguars win, 217 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 6: I mean, the Jaguars lose and they could still be 218 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 6: playing for first. So it gives them something early in 219 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 6: the season in the fans. You know, Texan's gonna talk 220 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 6: about stuff like that, But the fans do, the media does, 221 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 6: and it's be something that would really be fun next 222 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 6: week if they beat the Colts and they talk about 223 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 6: going to jackson even if Jags are two and zero, 224 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 6: are one and one and playing for either first place 225 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 6: or a share first place. 226 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and a game in hand against the Jaguars. If 227 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 2: you're able to get that one, Let's nick not get 228 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 2: ahead of ourselves right here, John McClain, all right, So 229 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 2: the Chargers at the Titans this week, and the Titans 230 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: looking to get right after losing to the Saints at 231 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 2: the Super dooma low scoring, close game, but they could 232 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 2: not get it. Don Tannehill with the three picks Chargers 233 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 2: and a high scoring loss against Miami at their place. 234 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 2: There's really no home field advantage with the Chargers as 235 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 2: far as they're concerned. It's weird because they lead the 236 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 2: league in most social media metrics and engagement and stuff 237 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: like that, but they don't draw well and they don't 238 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 2: make money, so I don't know what to make of it. 239 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: Anyway. 240 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 2: The Chargers oh to one, the Titans ozho to one 241 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 2: in Nashville. 242 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 3: What do you think of that matchup? 243 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 6: The Titans had five field goals, Derrick Henry hardly touched 244 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 6: the ball in the second half. They got a lot 245 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 6: of criticism about that. Mike Brable was criticized for kicking 246 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 6: a bill go instead of going for fourth down a 247 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 6: to the end of the game, and Ryan Tannehill's rating 248 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 6: was twenty eight point seven. We thought Josh Allen was 249 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 6: bad and Joe Burrow was bad. Ryan Tannehill was worse. 250 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 6: In an amazing mark out, some veteran quarterbacks looked like 251 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 6: they didn't play in preseason, hadn't played in throughout training camp, 252 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 6: and looked like they've never been to an off season program. 253 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 6: And yet guys like to a tongue about lower looks 254 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 6: like he's been out there for ten games, and it's 255 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 6: hard to pigure haven't watched so many quarterbacks had bad games. 256 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 6: Now they'll bounce back. I'm not sure Tannehill is going 257 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 6: to do that, but he was terrible, and since he 258 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 6: went to Tennessee, his rating is one oh four. But 259 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 6: he needs Derrick Henry to run the ball a lot 260 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 6: to make that play action work so he can roll 261 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 6: out and throw it. Two of the three interceptions were 262 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 6: when he was forcing the ball to de Andre Hopkins, 263 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 6: and that's unlike tanner Hill to course it have turnovers. 264 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure they'll correct that. But the Chargers offense 265 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 6: is great, Titans defense is great, Titans offense is terrible, 266 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 6: Chargers defense is terrible. So I'm not gonna say it's 267 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 6: gonna be a I scoring game. I'm picking the Chargers 268 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 6: to win it because the difference is justin Herbert versus 269 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:22,479 Speaker 6: Ryan Tannehill. 270 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 3: Something's gotta give. 271 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: Okay, Johnny and are going to address this a little 272 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 2: bit later, but I wanted to get your thoughts on 273 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 2: this of quarterbacks selected top five overall in the same 274 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 2: draft head to head matchups in the rookie season of 275 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 2: QB's taking top five overall, there have only been six 276 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: games since nineteen fifty that have taken place with this 277 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: kind of dynamic, and one of them involved an oiler. 278 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 2: That would be Dan Pastorini against Jim Plunkett in nineteen 279 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 2: seventy one. 280 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: Plunket won the game. I checked. 281 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 2: The last time it happened was Trevor Lawrence against Zach Wilson. 282 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 2: It's gonna happen three times this year because you have 283 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 2: Stroud Richardson, actually have two Stroud Richardson matchups. If both 284 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 2: guys stay healthy for the second one, you're gonna have 285 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 2: Stroud Young Richardson Young. Anyway, your thoughts on that kind 286 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 2: of dynamic. It's just fun stuff to follow, and it's 287 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 2: fun that it's only happened six times in league history. 288 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: Basically since nineteen fifty. 289 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 6: It's gonna be a blast to watch, not only Stroud 290 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 6: and Richardson, but Stroud when he goes up against Bryce Young. 291 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 6: Could he go to Charlotte and make them wish they'd 292 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 6: taken him? Does he go to Charlotte and Bryce Young 293 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 6: lights it up and makes some texanss oh? Which win 294 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 6: last game? And then there's Richardson who does not have 295 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 6: the experience but looks so much better in the first 296 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 6: game that I thought he would. And it's they're not 297 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 6: going to play each other, but every four years the 298 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 6: sc South and unless they play that odd game. So 299 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 6: it's gonna be more about Stroud and Richardson. But I 300 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 6: can't wait. I think in the October twenty ninth something 301 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 6: like that, that they go to Charlotte. And that's gonna 302 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 6: be really fun. Anytime you know you've been bad. And 303 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 6: remember the Panthers were not bad last year. They weren't 304 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 6: very good, but they weren't bad. They traded up pay 305 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 6: dearly you get that top pick from the Bears, And 306 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 6: so I can't wait to watch the young quarterbacks play 307 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 6: against the other young quarterbacks and seeing how they do. 308 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 2: General, what do you make of this game between the 309 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 2: Raiders and the Bills and everything. The Bills just went 310 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 2: through on Monday Night with Alan turning it over four times. 311 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 2: And what do you think of Alan right now this 312 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 2: stage of his development? He was getting better, no question, 313 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: from eighteen to nineteen to twenty, but it seems like 314 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 2: there's a bit of a plateau and he's not learning 315 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 2: his lessons about not sliding headfirst and taking unnecessary shots. 316 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 2: There was one shot on Monday Night Football where McDermott 317 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: is literally pointing to his head and speaking to Alan. 318 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: Be smart, be smart. 319 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 3: What do you think of that? 320 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 2: And the game against the Raiders this weekend Sunday at newt. 321 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 6: When Brian Dable left for the Giants last year, he 322 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 6: wasn't the same quarterback. He had six red zone turnovers, 323 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 6: which was more than his combined first four years. Ken 324 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 6: Dorsey took over the coaching peopleboll smooth transition. It was 325 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 6: now they're still good. I look for him to bounce 326 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 6: back and win this game. And I wasn't overly impressed 327 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 6: with the Ravens, who I picked to go win the 328 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 6: Super Bowl last week. Don't know how much of it 329 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 6: was then, how much of it was the Texans only 330 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 6: time Hotel, but I expect the Bills to bounce back. 331 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 6: Josh Allen's too good of a quarterback to have another 332 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 6: game like that. 333 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 2: Jets and the Cowboys, Man, I really wish this one 334 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 2: was in New York, but it's not. It's in Big D. 335 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 2: What do you think of this one? Both teams one 336 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 2: and all. We know how the Jets had to get 337 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: it done. That was a really entertaining finish. I know 338 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 2: it was a terrible night for Aaron Rodgers and Jet 339 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 2: fans and all of that, maybe NFL fans in general. 340 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 2: And you're gonna have the Jets playing on primetime TV 341 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 2: an awful lot this year. But they're at the Cowboys 342 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 2: in the late window on Sunday of the Cowboys really 343 00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 2: that good? 344 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 6: John, I'm guessing you don't know the Cowboys gonna win 345 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 6: the Super Bowl. The Longhorn is gonna win the National 346 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 6: Championship because they're back. If we won't believe it, just 347 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 6: listen to their fans because they already know they're gonna 348 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 6: win the championships. Now, Cowboys were great. Their defense is fantastic. 349 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 6: Dak Prescott didn't have to do a lot. It was 350 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 6: just such an impressive performance. Dan Quinn's defense has got 351 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 6: pass rushers across the board, led by Micah Parson. Parson's 352 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 6: gonna end up being highest paid over Nick Bosa probably 353 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 6: next year. And I thought the most impressive performances I 354 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 6: saw was San Francisco blowing out the Steelers in Pittsburgh 355 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 6: and then the Cowboys just wiping the floor at Medlife 356 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 6: Stadium with the Giants. And people must not realize last 357 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 6: year the Jets, when Brice Hall was healthy, we're fighting 358 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 6: two and as was Zach Wilson at quarterback. They were 359 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 6: fighting two and Paul went All went down with that 360 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 6: in ACL. They've got more running backs this year. They've 361 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 6: got more depth. Hall Shod He's back with like an 362 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 6: eighty something yard run. Dalvin Cooks there. If they run 363 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 6: the ball a lot behind a bad offensive line, they 364 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 6: played great defense, they could they could they could compete 365 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 6: for a wildcard. 366 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 5: Berk. 367 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 6: It looks like Robert Salah is a really good coach, 368 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 6: so they're not gonna win this game. But you know, 369 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 6: five hundreds not too chebby. I felt, I'm no big 370 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 6: fan Aaron Rodgers. My shirt felt bad for him, the team, 371 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 6: the fans. I felt bad for the league. Everybody because 372 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 6: of such. It was such a great story to see 373 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 6: how far he can take them. 374 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 2: I know there's no magic elixir in the form of 375 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 2: a quarterback that's on his couch right now that would 376 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 2: be available for the Jets, or somebody that could trade 377 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 2: for as a reserve that would possibly start for them 378 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 2: instead of Zach Wilson, or for even more insurance. But 379 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: what do you think of the Jets going after another QB, 380 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 2: an established guy who could possibly take over the role 381 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 2: of starter. 382 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 6: They don't want to starter, you know, they'd come out 383 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 6: vehemently that is Zach Wilson. Now they need another veteran. 384 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 6: I'd go after Cole McCoy. Cole McCoy, Case Keenum, Case Keen, 385 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 6: and Cold McCoy. They're the same. Now. If I was 386 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 6: going to make a trade, you know, Flaco was there 387 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 6: the last two years. They could call they could call him. 388 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 6: But people were talking about them calling the Texans and 389 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 6: trading Davis Mills or Case Keenum. If I were them, 390 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 6: I'd want case because Case number one has played for 391 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 6: like every team in the league, and number two he's 392 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 6: been in the playoffs and he's won playoff games. But 393 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 6: Cole McCoy is available. He's, like Case, a great leader, 394 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 6: like another quarterback on the field. I watched that end 395 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 6: season Hard Knocks last season to watch Want and Hopkins, 396 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 6: and I was really impressed with McCoy behind the scenes 397 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 6: before Murray was hurt and after Murray was hurt. So 398 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 6: I'd like him and there working with Zach Wilson. I'll 399 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 6: tell you something else. I think Roger should not rehab 400 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 6: in California. He should rehab at the Jets facility, be 401 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 6: at practice every day, be on the sideline for the game, 402 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 6: and do everything he can to mentor Wilson and to 403 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 6: help that team win and overcome his loss. 404 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 2: Well, he did say he will rise again, and we'll 405 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 2: find out what that means. I guess in about a 406 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 2: year or. 407 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 6: Coming out of the dark year and a half, rise 408 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 6: out of the darkness. 409 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 410 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 2: One more thing here. Monday Night Football has the Steelers 411 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 2: entertaining the Cleveland Browns. Do you think the Browns themselves 412 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 2: look at the Sean Watson and say, you know, I 413 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 2: don't know if he's still got it. 414 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 3: It seems like it sometimes, but often it doesn't. 415 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 2: What do you think they're privately thinking about their two 416 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty million dollar quarterback. 417 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 6: I think they're so excited with winning that game and 418 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 6: just pounding the Bengals. They don't care. 419 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 7: Now. 420 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 6: He didn't play well. His rating was sixty three. He 421 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 6: had an interception in which he just threw it right 422 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 6: to the defense back. But they ran the ball well 423 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 6: Nick Chubb at over one hundred yards. Their defense is great. 424 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 6: Jim Schwartz has come in there and made it me 425 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,479 Speaker 6: even more aggressive. So I think this. I think they 426 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 6: can win that game. I way overestimated the Steelers for 427 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 6: one game. At least Steelers got injuries. Now they've lost 428 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 6: one of their best defensive players, they've lost one of 429 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 6: their best receivers. 430 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 3: And. 431 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 6: I wouldn't sprung. I'm not. I don't pick the Steelers 432 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 6: to lose at home. I picked them to win the 433 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 6: game against the forty nine ers. I'm picking them against 434 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 6: the Browns. The Texans certainly don't want the Browns to 435 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 6: start two to zero. 436 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 2: And Monday night is weird because you have a double header, 437 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 2: but it's staggered. So you have six fifteen kick Saints 438 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 2: at Panthers eight Well, seven to fifteen kick eight fifteen 439 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 2: Eastern seven to fifteen kick Browns at Steelers will see 440 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 2: ow Goos general.

You and Randy McElvoy. 476 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: What about the game? 477 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 3: Yes, again, it's Ridge Point versus High Tower for been 478 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 3: independent school district. 479 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: So I know it. I know it fairly well. 480 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 3: My mom was at Clements and Kempnor for a long time, 481 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 3: and these two schools didn't exist when I was going 482 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 3: to high school, so it shows you how old I am. Wait, 483 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 3: your mom was at Clements teaching. Yeah, I'm just hearing 484 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,679 Speaker 3: about this right now, I'm pretty sure I told you 485 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 3: that if I live like a few blocks away from Clements, 486 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 3: I know Hurricane Alicia hit anight and it blew off 487 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 3: Clement's roof. They got it together for that year. Then 488 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 3: she went over there the next year in eighty four. 489 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 3: You know why she went there because she didn't want 490 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 3: to teach me. I don't know what that says it 491 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 3: about me, but she didn't want to teach me in 492 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 3: seventh grade? 493 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: Can I teach my son? 494 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 3: And so she then went to Clements High School? And 495 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 3: then my senior year she ends up going to Kempnor. 496 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 3: The last time I was in Mercer Stadium, we played 497 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 3: Kempnor in that game in Week one in the opener, 498 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 3: Kempner beat US nine to. 499 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,959 Speaker 1: Seven, which is ugly. But how about this. 500 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,719 Speaker 3: I remember I can't remember taking the trash out most days, 501 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 3: I can remember my full stat line from that game. 502 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: Against Kempnor, of course you can. 503 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 3: I had fourteen tackles, two funnel recoveries, three catches for 504 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 3: the yards I can't remember, three catches for like thirty 505 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 3: eight and a touchdown. 506 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 2: Look at you playing both ways and lost nine to seven, 507 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 2: shaking it up nine seven, So you're gonna be a 508 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 2: mercer rich point in high tower. 509 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 3: You talk about athletes, Oh, holy smoked. The perimeter players 510 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 3: they just redid Mercer too, So it's gonna be good. 511 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Mercers in good shit. I'll look forward to it. 512 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 2: Gonna be terrific place right down the street from my abode. 513 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 2: All right, are you ready for some who's betters and 514 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 2: stuff like that? Let's go all right, this is a 515 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 2: weird one. Who's gonna have a better season after a 516 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 2: rocky start? 517 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,239 Speaker 1: Are you ready for this? 518 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 3: Bryce Young with the Carolina Panthers or second year quarterback 519 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett with the Pittsburgh Steelers. 520 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 2: Both had rocky starts. Bryce Young, Kenny Pickett better season. 521 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 2: Who's gonna have it in twenty twenty three? 522 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say Bryce Young because you start comparing the 523 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 3: offensive lines and they're pretty similar. 524 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: They're neither one of them is very good. 525 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 3: Compare the perimeter players and a similar all those Steelers 526 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 3: being without Deontae Johnson isn't gonna help, but they're pretty similar. 527 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 3: So your run game is not gonna help them tremendously. 528 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 3: But I think that the coaching that Bryce is getting 529 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 3: is gonna be better than the coaching Kenny Pickett will 530 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 3: get Matt Canada hasn't had the Steelers over four hundred 531 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 3: yards of total offense in like thirty six games or 532 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 3: some crazy number. I think Bryce will will break out 533 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 3: and do a have a better season. He just has 534 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 3: to learn get rid of football. Can't hold it. I 535 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 3: think that's one of the things. I think it's probably 536 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 3: the major thing of young quarterbacks. Get rid of the football. 537 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 3: Throw the ball on time, and once the game stools 538 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 3: down for you, then obviously you can, you know, quickly 539 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 3: get through your reads and boom go. 540 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,479 Speaker 1: But the ball has to come out now. 541 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 3: I think Bryce learned that as the game went on 542 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 3: against the Falcons. But his offensive line is not good 543 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 3: right now and they just lost Brady Christensen a guard. 544 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 3: But I just think with Frank Wright and Josh Bac, 545 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 3: County's gonna get better coaching there in Carolina and that 546 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 3: will help him develop a little bit more. And the 547 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 3: NFC South plays the NFC South, so there's six games 548 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 3: there and then they play the AFC South where the 549 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 3: NFC North and pick it. They got to play us, 550 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 3: but I don't know who they match up with, but 551 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 3: they got to play six games in that division, and 552 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 3: we just saw one of those. Kenny Pickett's not going 553 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 3: to have a lot of success against them, so I 554 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 3: think there's gonna be that too. 555 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with Bryce Hump. Okay, here's another 556 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 2: one better season. Who's gonna have it? After being a 557 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 2: semi surprising winner in Week one? Jordan Love with the 558 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers, And I think what was surprising about 559 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 2: that was the lopsided victory status of that game with 560 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: the Bears or Baker Mayfield as the Bucks went into 561 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 2: Viking Land, they went into the North and de scold 562 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 2: the Vikings. So better season from here, Baker Mayfield. Jordan Love, 563 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 2: I know you didn't try. 564 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 3: And make this easy on me, but this one's easy 565 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 3: to me. It is Jordan Love, You Love, Jordan I Love. 566 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 3: I've been a big fan of Jordan Love for for 567 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 3: a while. One of the Packers drafted him. I actually, 568 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 3: I mean I remember we were doing a draft in 569 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 3: here that night and we were kind of I mean, 570 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 3: it was a great talking point about the draft and 571 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 3: we're like, Okay, what does this mean for Rogers, et cetera. 572 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: But I think the same thing happened to Rogers. 573 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 3: He had a coup couple three years to sit and 574 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 3: come learned the game and learn, you know, how to 575 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 3: be a professional. And he's learned it from far. Then 576 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 3: he gets his chance and he runs with it. Love 577 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 3: the same thing. Watch Rogers, saw Rogers did it. He's 578 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 3: extremely talented and I think I started the show against 579 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 3: the Bears. 580 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: Here's the other thing. 581 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 3: I think Jordan loves presence, and more so, the absence 582 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 3: of Aaron Rodgers is unlocking the Matt the floor box. 583 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, not having Rogers in the organization in 584 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 2: the building is a huge factor for the Packers. They 585 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 2: can build a new identity, move. 586 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: On without him. 587 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 2: Love can become all he needs to become. Because as 588 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 2: much as he had all those reps in the offseason 589 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 2: when Rogers wasn't participating, you still know that Zaza is 590 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 2: coming back and it's not going to be the same thing. 591 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 2: You can't be your full Jamie Tart if Zaza is 592 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 2: in the building. 593 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: I like where you're going with that. I like it. 594 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 3: I didn't get to see the whole game against the 595 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 3: Bears the other day, but he was in total command. 596 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: But I was seeing Matt Lafleur do things that. What 597 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: is that? 598 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 5: Wait? 599 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: Wait, what he's got? Wait? You got two guys over here? 600 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 3: He's he got two guys two running backs to the 601 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 3: left of this quarterback in shotgun and a tailback. 602 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: What is so? 603 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 3: There were some things that he was doing that were 604 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 3: very unique. The key is if they can get Christian 605 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 3: Watson back. Dubbs played. Dubbs was questionable, He played and 606 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 3: had two touchdowns. If you Christian Watson back, the deep 607 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 3: threat and who was my guy during a draft at 608 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 3: tight end that I loved, you know, I loved him 609 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 3: from Oregon State Luke muskra Oh yeah, that's right, hey, 610 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 3: big time player, right to be one of his other guys. 611 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 3: So I think I think Love's gonna have it. I 612 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 3: don't an exceptional year, but I think he's gonna perform. Well, 613 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 3: here's the sweetener on this one, though, who had a 614 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 3: better winning week one? Because going to the Vikings and 615 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 3: winning is impressive to me. That was not a total shocker, 616 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 3: but that was a big surprise to me to see 617 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 3: the Buccaneers do that to the Vikings when the Vikings 618 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 3: are coming off the stinging playoffs of the Giants. They 619 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 3: won thirteen games last year. Teams changed year to year. 620 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: We all know that. 621 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 3: But the Bucks took I can't say took it to them, 622 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 3: but they won the game. It's a good It's a 623 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 3: really good win for the Bucks, no doubt. And I 624 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 3: think a lot of people thought the Bucks were gonna 625 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 3: be kind of mired in obscurity this year with Baker quarterback, 626 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 3: et cetera. Now, Baker's got to show that he can 627 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 3: because last year's first game with the Panthers, he played 628 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 3: really well. 629 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: And with the Rams too. 630 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, and Kay York in a fifty nine yard field 631 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 3: goal that beat them at the buzzer. But Baker played 632 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 3: pretty well in that game. It's just a consistency going forward. 633 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. But the Bears. 634 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 3: If you have a question there about big disappointment, who 635 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 3: was a bigger disappointment, it was the Bears because there 636 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 3: was so much hype around them, so much hype justin 637 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 3: fields is gonna be MVP. I mean it was. It 638 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 3: was not a complete disaster. But pretty dark close. It's 639 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 3: pretty dark close, pretty dark. That's your team. 640 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 2: That's the biggest rival in the league. Really, it's the 641 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 2: oldest rivalry of the league. In your building, Aaron Rodgers says, 642 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 2: I still own you what was it a year ago 643 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 2: when he said that, and the Packer are still on 644 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 2: the Bears without Aaron Rodgers. So there all right, Better 645 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 2: debut with a new team, Derek Carr or Jimmy g Oo. 646 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 2: Derek Carr, Jimmy g better debut with the new team. 647 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 2: Car formerly of the Raiders, Jimmy g formerly of the 648 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 2: forty nine ers, now with the Raiders, car with the Saints. 649 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, neither one of them, you know, quote unquote lit 650 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 3: it up. 651 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: I mean the Saints scored sixteen. I think the Raiders scored. 652 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 3: Seventeen at Denver at Denver and the Saints did it 653 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 3: at home. Now, I do think that Titans defense is 654 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,479 Speaker 3: pretty good, and Denver's gonna be interesting because they've had 655 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 3: some changes and coaches and you know, defensive coordinators. Evro 656 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 3: is now the defense coordinator for the Panthers. So place 657 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 3: is really close. And maybe I'm just siding with the 658 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 3: fact that I saw that miked up on the sideline. 659 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 3: You said, I miked up on the sideline with Derek Carr. Yes, 660 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 3: that was that was awesome. But he said run, run, 661 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 3: you have to go. I'll hit you. And then Jamis 662 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 3: is like, yes, Davis lo Cao is awesome. 663 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: Maybe I go with that, but I just am not. 664 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 2: And have not ever been a really big believer in 665 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 2: Jimmy for whatever, still went head first on a play 666 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 2: I saw. I didn't see the whole game, but I 667 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 2: saw him diving head first for a first down. 668 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: Jimmy, don't do it. Don't do this to yourself. 669 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 3: Jimmy finds a way to win. I give him that, 670 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 3: but I'm gonna go with Derek Carr. All Right, I've 671 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 3: got another one for you here. This is a who's 672 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 3: worst worst sacrifice thing of the body, and I'm gonna 673 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 3: go retro and current Josh Allen these days or maybe 674 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 3: any days, or Ryan Fitzpatrick when he was with us, 675 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 3: or maybe anybody worst sacrifice thing of the body, if 676 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 3: you will. 677 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: It's Josh Allen. 678 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 3: Because when Josh Allen sacrifices his body, he's given up 679 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 3: that howitzer, that ham cannon hanging off his right shoulder, 680 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 3: whereas FITZI is giving up his body. That's just kind 681 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 3: of part of FITZI. You know, It's not as if 682 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 3: it's gonna hurt him throwing. Do you remember in twenty 683 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 3: when we played them in fifteen, when he was with 684 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 3: the Jets, and we were ahead of that whole game. 685 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 3: I think we were hit by a couple scores and 686 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 3: it was down in the south ends and he runs 687 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 3: and scrambles and he gets scrambled at the goal line 688 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 3: by somebody. He got the touchdown, but I just remember 689 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 3: seeing like three guys go back, back back and just 690 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:11,439 Speaker 3: colide off him. 691 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: He gets up, his helme, his chit strips up, and 692 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: his beard. 693 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 3: He's kind of like like dang FITZI and the dude 694 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 3: played five more years after that. 695 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, five more years after that. It's incredible. 696 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 3: I'm with you. It's worse for Allen because he really 697 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 3: needs to develop a way to play without doing that. 698 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, absolutely fitsy. That's who he was. 699 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,439 Speaker 2: That's how he survived in the league for so long 700 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 2: by picking up those extra yards that way, extra tds 701 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 2: that way. But he still should have learned to slide 702 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 2: on occasion. Because against the Colts we all know Thurn 703 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 2: the last game twenty fourteen. 704 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 3: If he stays upright in that game, you might win 705 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 3: that game. You might go to the playoffs that year. 706 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 3: Like of all the times that I've heard us mad, 707 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 3: in particular Dre, I've heard dre mad I think that 708 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 3: in ten years, was the maddest he'd ever men. When 709 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 3: Fitzi went down, he was I'll never forget because I'm 710 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 3: sitting down there, and I can just imagine he lost 711 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 3: it on Fitzi because it's like, you got to know 712 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 3: you have a rookie behind you, and his angst was valid, 713 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 3: but I could imagine you were up there going, oh boy. 714 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: Because he was hot. He was hot. 715 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 3: And then of course Savage comes into game, he turned 716 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 3: the wrong way, they fumble and then ended up being 717 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:27,919 Speaker 3: the difference in the game. 718 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:28,959 Speaker 1: They scored on that drive. 719 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 3: And you know, Tom did okay once he you know, 720 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 3: got kind of settled in there and actually tied the 721 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 3: game with that runner, took a lead with that run 722 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 3: that Arion had got called back for holding. Anyway, point 723 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 3: being that was Fitzi. That's just that's the way he played, 724 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,240 Speaker 3: all right. One more for you, Johnny. 725 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 2: Better chance for success Texans offense against the Colts defense, 726 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,280 Speaker 2: all the problems they have in the secondary and everything 727 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 2: like that, or Texans defense against this Colts offense, better 728 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 2: chance for success? What's the better advantage in the matchup? 729 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 2: If there's any here. 730 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 3: I feel better about the Texans defense against the Colts offense, 731 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 3: you're still facing a rookie, which, by the way, it's 732 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 3: the my math is correct. The eighth matchup of top 733 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 3: five drafted quarterbacks as rookies. 734 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: I think it's seven seven. Yeah. 735 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:20,439 Speaker 3: It's also the first time ever that two black quarterbacks 736 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 3: drafted in the top five will meet as rookies, and 737 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 3: that will happen three times this year because we all 738 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 3: play each other. We play the Panthers, that will be 739 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 3: the second one. Panthers played the Colts, that'll be the 740 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,399 Speaker 3: third one. So pretty interesting stuff there. 741 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,760 Speaker 1: But he's still rookie. Anthony Richardson is still a rookie. 742 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson had games like Vanderbilt last year where nothing 743 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 3: went right for three quarters and Vanderbilt jumped out, kept 744 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 3: the lead, and he brought it back in the end, 745 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 3: but he just couldn't close the door because the gap. 746 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: Was too big. There's no Jonathan Taylor and so that helps. 747 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 1: Now there might be a Zach Buson. 748 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 3: We struggle with him in Week eight team, but I 749 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 3: trust this defense a little bit more that I trust 750 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 3: the offense right now. However, how many combined starts do 751 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 3: the Colts starting corners have don't think too long, three 752 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 3: zero to three, thous Flowers and Daryl Baker junior. 753 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: Flowers had two starts last. 754 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 3: Year and Dallas Flowers, Yeah, and Daryl Baker started for 755 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 3: the first time this year. 756 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: That's it. They don't have Stefan Gilmour anymore. You do 757 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 1: not Rock. You've seen it's got some experience. 758 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,399 Speaker 3: So if you can get the ball off, I think 759 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 3: you've got an opportunity against those guys. 760 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 2: Got to hold off in protection, hold off in protection 761 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 2: in order to make that pay for you. All right, 762 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 2: Johnny Prediction for tonight, Ridge Point, I tell your game 763 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 2: on Local two. 764 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,280 Speaker 3: Well, as they say in the business, you can't predict 765 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 3: the game that you're calling. But last year's game, High 766 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 3: Tower got up early, and you know, talking to both coaches, 767 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 3: that's a game that for both of them was kind 768 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 3: of a turning point because High Tower ended up fading 769 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 3: and rich Point came back and beat them last year. 770 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 3: So High Towers geared up. They feel pretty good about 771 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 3: what the squad they have and they've I'm telling you, 772 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 3: the athletes are gonna be in a field tonight.

We talk about year one to year two, 807 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 2: but there's a week one to week two jump. Do 808 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 2: we expect that from the Houston Texans in performance this Sunday? 809 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: No question. 810 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 4: The early part of the year is really about improvement. 811 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 4: Can you improve from week one to week two, week 812 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,839 Speaker 4: two to week three? And then after we've talked about 813 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 4: this on the show, about week game four or five, 814 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 4: you sort of have an idea of, all right, how 815 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 4: things are going to go. What are some of the 816 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 4: things that you're doing well. The teams that are watching 817 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,399 Speaker 4: your opponents are gonna be looking at the same thing, 818 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,240 Speaker 4: So you kind of have a foundation in place. 819 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: A right, here are the things that we're gonna hang 820 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: our hat on. 821 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 4: All Right, If we have to make a modification and 822 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,800 Speaker 4: adjustment either to the look, to the formation, or introduce 823 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 4: maybe a different concept that's gonna help us, then you're 824 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,959 Speaker 4: gonna do that. But it's seventeen games, and from where 825 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 4: you start week one to the end, you're probably gonna 826 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 4: see a different team and different players and just their 827 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:20,320 Speaker 4: overall evolution. 828 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 2: One more for you from Nick Cassio. So good at 829 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 2: evaluating the opponent. What about Anthony Richardson? How is he 830 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 2: different from Lamar Jackson, who the Texans saw last week 831 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 2: mobile quarterback. Yes, Jackson a former MVP, Richardson a rookie, 832 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 2: but how are they similar and or different? 833 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 4: The reality is they're both unique players and unique athletes. 834 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 4: They're different types of players. I think sometimes guys get 835 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:50,800 Speaker 4: lumped into same general category. But they're both highly skilled, 836 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 4: highly talented players. I would say in Anthony's case, I 837 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 4: mean his size, speed, strength combination. There's not too many 838 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 4: people like him in the league. The closest one is 839 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 4: probably Cam and we had Cam in New England there 840 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 4: at the end a little bit. When Cam came out, 841 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 4: I mean, he was big, strong, fast, athletic, and I 842 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 4: would say specific to the indie offense, the quarterback essentially 843 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 4: is the running game, which I would say in Baltimore's case, 844 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,320 Speaker 4: they've evolved a little bit, sort of a different dynamic. 845 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,360 Speaker 4: But Anthony was their leading rusher the other day. And 846 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 4: OJT is not available and probably gonna he's pup for 847 00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 4: however many weeks it is. But Anthony's a big part 848 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 4: of the running game, so you certainly have to count 849 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 4: for that. But big strong, I mean his skilled and talented. 850 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 4: Is a thrower or just a player at that position 851 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 4: from his size, his speed, his strength, he's just there's 852 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,399 Speaker 4: not too many players like him. 853 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 2: Rookie quarterback battle on Sunday at NRG Stadium. Also battle 854 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 2: to get to the food at NRG Stadium. This quickie 855 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 2: here from Texans President Greg Grissom, who was with us 856 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,800 Speaker 2: last night. So we talked about new food options like Trilberger. 857 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 2: It's gonna be tough for me not to go get 858 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 2: one of the concession stands at some point before the game. 859 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 2: But we'll see how that goes. But what about this 860 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 2: before the game, If you're going, make sure you're in 861 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 2: your seat eleven thirty. You're gonna want to see this 862 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 2: brand new pregame presentation, and Greg Grissom talked about it 863 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 2: last night on the show. 864 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be spectacular. 865 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 8: Our our video and game day presentation grew have worked really, 866 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 8: really hard on it. It's a little more thematic, it's 867 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 8: maybe something that we haven't done before, and I just 868 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 8: know it's gonna be special. I think we're gonna have 869 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,719 Speaker 8: lights flashing, We're gonna have music going, We're gonna really 870 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 8: try to tell the story of the legend of the 871 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 8: Bull and maybe how that even connects into Thunderstruck, which 872 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,239 Speaker 8: is one of our primary songs that we have on 873 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,359 Speaker 8: game day. So I think it's gonna be exciting. Gives 874 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 8: people a reason to come early, get into the seats, 875 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,280 Speaker 8: and be ready to welcome the team out on the field. 876 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 3: Always be there early. The team needs you and you 877 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 3: definitely play a role in the team's success, and Tamiko 878 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,799 Speaker 3: Ryans has been very clear about that. All right, let's 879 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,359 Speaker 3: get clear on some medical. 880 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 2: Issues with Houston Methodist minutes and doctor men Kim from 881 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 2: Houston Methodist joins us. 882 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:08,800 Speaker 3: Now, doctor, how. 883 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 1: Are you doing. 884 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 7: I'm doing great? How are you. 885 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,800 Speaker 2: I'm doing great. Let's talk about lung injuries now. Gleen 886 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 2: Patriot the Texans was out of practice with a chest 887 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 2: injury and it was reported that he might have a 888 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 2: punctured lung or a bruised lung. And I don't want 889 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 2: to get into his personal situation, but what about that 890 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,360 Speaker 2: type of injury because we've seen other players have it 891 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 2: from time to time. What's the difference between a punctured 892 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 2: lung and a bruised lung? 893 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 7: Doctor sure, bruce lung means that the lung is basically bruce. 894 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 7: So stop the lung is to kind of help you 895 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 7: exchange oxygen and also get rid of CO. Two. What 896 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 7: happens with bruce lung is that that part of the 897 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 7: lung is not working very well, so it kind of 898 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 7: helps and prevents a person from doing the main function 899 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 7: of the lung and causes a person to become short 900 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 7: of breath puncture lung. What that means is that the 901 00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:01,360 Speaker 7: lung surface opens up and releases air into the chest cavity. 902 00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,359 Speaker 7: What happens with that person can also present what short 903 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 7: as a breath, But then lung can collapse and can 904 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,840 Speaker 7: cause major health issues. 905 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,239 Speaker 2: So what causes each injury, just a hard hit to 906 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 2: the chest, wouldn't that cause some other things. 907 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 1: To happen as well? 908 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 2: Or is it one of those situations where it can 909 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,200 Speaker 2: often just affect the lung. 910 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, so it can just affect the lung. Typically, a 911 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 7: lot of this happens in a trauma situation. Puncture a 912 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:33,600 Speaker 7: lung we see lot often with the trauma to the 913 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 7: chest like a car accident, they can cause a broken 914 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 7: rip which can puncture actually into the lung itself. With 915 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:45,359 Speaker 7: the more bloot injury, you can see lung contusions where 916 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 7: the lung is bruised and is now working very well. 917 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 3: How long do these take to heal? 918 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 7: Typically, doctor, it all depends on the extent of the injury. 919 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 7: So if you have a bruise lung in one area 920 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 7: it's not really impacting next amount of the lung, then 921 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,280 Speaker 7: I think that can heal in a couple of weeks. 922 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 7: If it's majority of the lung, then you need to 923 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,359 Speaker 7: be in the hospital and get supportive air to kind 924 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,440 Speaker 7: of get the lungs in a better shape. With a 925 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 7: puncture lung, it depends on the amount of air that 926 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 7: escapes into the test cavity. If it is very small 927 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,399 Speaker 7: then it could be watched with X rays and then 928 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 7: let the body reabsorb the air. However, if it's a 929 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 7: significant then you might need to help evacuate the air. 930 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:30,240 Speaker 7: And that's a lung. 931 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,400 Speaker 2: Here, outstanding doctor, thanks so much for the information. We 932 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 2: really appreciate it. 933 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 7: You're welcome. 934 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 3: All right, there's doctor men Kim from Houston Methodist.
