1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Welcome into Texans All Access. On a Tuesday, I'm Dbcity

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: along with Mark Vandermere and Drew Doherty. We got lots

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: to talk about, got a great players show. We've got

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: more players that we're going to hear from. The Emmy's

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: also happened on Monday night, so they did. I. I

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: know you guys were not watching because there was a

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: Monday night football game on, but we'll play our own

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: version of the Emmys. I did flick over there during commercials,

9
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: but never stayed long enough to find out anything that

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: was going on. So I went right back to the game.

11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: And I did see some stuff on social media on

12
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: the Emmy's are becoming like the Oscars? Where what is

13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 1: that show? I've never even heard of that show. Some

14
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: of them were brand new to me, and I got

15
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: to check them out. A show I know about really

16
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: really well, which one Ted Lasso. I dressed as Ted

17
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: Lasso for Halloweenla. I did see you dress up as

18
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: Ted Lasso, and I did see the show. So that's

19
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: what I'm all caught up. Can I get some credit

20
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: for the fact that that was my idea that Drew

21
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: looks like Ted Lasso. I told him to dress up

22
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: like ted La Deep and my wife both like concurrently

23
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: came up with that idea. There's a great idea by

24
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: both of them, and they separate. I didn't tell either

25
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: that they had said it, but they said it basically

26
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: within like a day, and I was like, that's okay,

27
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: all right, And Drew almost didn't do it. Drew was

28
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: adamant that he wasn't going to do it. The season

29
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: wasn't going well. It was a Halloween game. He felt

30
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: like this was not his time to change, yea. And

31
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: then we're like, don't be a bad sport. It's a

32
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: Halloween game, and I'll be Danny Rojas because I wanted

33
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: to be his supporting character. Oh, I want to be

34
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: Jamie Tart, Jamie Tar, Jamie Tart whatever. That song? What

35
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: is it again, Tart? No, I don't know, but I

36
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: heard the actual song at one point. It's baby Shark. Yeah, okay,

37
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: that's what it was, a little bit off on my rhythm,

38
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: way off, all right. Ted Lassa won a bunch. I

39
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: felt like Drew one a bunch with that costume. But

40
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: you okay, by the way, this department, Tyler Suttarth and

41
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: Tyler Marcott won Sports Emmy's. Yeah, a couple of weeks ago,

42
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: Tyler won two. Tyler, Suttarth, and Marcott shared one. Share one,

43
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: you each get one. Yeah, it's Marcott's first and Suttarth,

44
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: I mean he's three time Emmy winner. Yeah, he had

45
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: won one before. That's and I actually have a Texans

46
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: TV has come a long long way. I feel like

47
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: I should kick the two of you off and bring

48
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: the two Tilers into discuss not a bad idea. They

49
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,839
Speaker 1: have thoughts on things that'd be a good podcast. Yeah,

50
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: they are two Tylers and four any yeah, and a DP.

51
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into some of your quick hits

52
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: of the week Christians. I mean it was a tie,

53
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: the Texans ended their game and a type we get there,

54
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: all right? Actually, do you have hot reads on the

55
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: tie itself? I do have, right, go ahead, I call

56
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: them quick hits. I don't know you might have. I'd

57
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: like to call them quick kits because on the pregame

58
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: show they're quick hits, but they're also hot reads. For yes,

59
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: Traditionally on Texans Radio they're called hot reads. Anyway, go

60
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: ahead with the first one. I don't want to jump in,

61
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: but you know I will anyway. Well, the Texans then

62
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: in a tie. In case you're living under a rock,

63
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: Christian Kirksey discussed it. Even though the Texans defense held

64
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: the Colts to just two touchdowns on five red zone

65
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: appearances and fours two turnovers, they were not able to

66
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: eke out the win. Here's what Christian Kirksey had to say.

67
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: I've been in a tie before. It's a weird feeling. Man,

68
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: this is definitely weird in this situation because it doesn't

69
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: really feel like a tie in my eyes. It is

70
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: more so felt like, man, we should have won that

71
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: game because we were so we started off so fast,

72
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: and even though we ended in the ties, like man,

73
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: they came back and it's like they almost got the advantage.

74
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: So he's been part of one before, but he said, hey,

75
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like a tie. It feels more like

76
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: a loss. Basically, he wouldn't say that directly, but that

77
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: was the cut. And I just feel like I understand

78
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: that because he had a twenty to three leads. So

79
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: I think if you were down twenty to three and

80
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: tied it up, you might feel better about it. Maybe

81
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: not that much better. I'm sure the cults aren't feeling

82
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: that great about it, but it's a weird feeling. How

83
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: do you guys feel, because I think the feelings about

84
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: it are interesting. I've been asking everybody, loving Nick, I've

85
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: been asking everybody about the feelings about it. No, it

86
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: feels like a loss. But I think on top of it,

87
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't know about YouTube, but with about three or

88
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: four minutes to go in regulation in this game, I

89
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: thought I need a nap. I'm exhausted this. Yeah, I

90
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: mean I was drained, and I think because of the

91
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: emotional drain, physically I was drained too. But yeah, it

92
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: felt like a loss. But then you think about it,

93
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: it's like, well, it's not a loss, and then you

94
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: technically you could be one of those jokers. It says

95
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: the undefeated, first place Houston Texans. Nobody's saying that. But

96
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: it is true. It's true. It's true, But you don't

97
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: it's just like, yeah, I know you kind of you

98
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 1: say it through clenched teeth, you know, after a tie.

99
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: I think it's context. I think you're right. It's the

100
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: fact that the Texans had the lead they lost. But

101
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: on the flip side, I don't think the Colts are

102
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: celebrating this tie either, because there was a lot of

103
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: expectation on them. I mean, the Texans were still underdogs

104
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: in Week one, and I think they came in thinking

105
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: their team was going to look a certain way, and

106
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: they came out very flat. They made a lot of

107
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: mistakes early on and throughout the game. I mean, they

108
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: basically tried to give the game away, and they were

109
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: also not able to pull out a win. So, I mean,

110
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: I've been reading on Twitter. The Colts fans are not happy.

111
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: The Colts beat writers are talking about all the different

112
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: things that went wrong in the game. So nobody's happy

113
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: after a tie. But you know, it did feel like

114
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: a loss in the locker room. I was in there

115
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: after the game, and you know, you had to remind

116
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: yourselves that they didn't actually lose the game. But the

117
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: mood in the locker room, I know, Mark, you listen

118
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: to a few of the interviews with the players that

119
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: I had done, and you're like that that's really depressing.

120
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what the mood was. They were

121
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: not happy, even if they were underdogs, even if they

122
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: were winning. I think they really felt like they could

123
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: have pulled out the win and they just couldn't get

124
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: the job done. But these defensive players played ninety two snaps. Yeah,

125
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: it was a long game for them. It was a

126
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: long game for the rest of us. It was an

127
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: emotional roller coaster. But guess what. You've got the Denver

128
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: Broncos in week two and they're coming off an equally

129
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: emotionally draining loss I think in week one, maybe even

130
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: more so. They've got a short week and they didn't

131
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: get the tie. They got the loss. Good point. I'm

132
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: cool with that. You know, so you didn't bring up

133
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: ninety two plays the two big stats that just leap

134
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: out at me. And I know it's overtime. You played

135
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: five quarters, so you get more of this. But Matt

136
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: ran the ball fifty times. You normally, when the opposing

137
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: team throws the ball fifty times, they're losing. Okay. On

138
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: top of that, Jonathan Taylor ran the ball thirty one times.

139
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of plays. You are never going

140
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: to see that in a normal regulation game, and it's

141
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: rare you're going to see that in an overtime game.

142
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: But we saw that, and they still they tied it.

143
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean, just so weird. Fifty passes and thirty one

144
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: runs from your lead back. Yeah, at the end, of

145
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,119
Speaker 1: the day. You look at all the yardage they got

146
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, oh, man, I thought the defense was

147
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: doing better, and they did do very well for the

148
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: bulk of the game, but the offense start at the

149
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: sput or last five possessions. You have two first downs

150
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: and a turnover and that's it. And that was tough

151
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: to take. And I think that, obviously the momentum completely changed.

152
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: The cults feelings are largely based on well everything you

153
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: just mentioned, the fact that they missed that field goal.

154
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: They could have walked out of there with a win

155
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: after everything that went wrong, and they still would have

156
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: felt like they got to correct their mistakes, but at

157
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: least they won it for their sake, Lovey Smith, I

158
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: totally get taken the tie at that point. I could

159
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: argue both sides of this all day long. I mentioned

160
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: it's like the debate club where you have to pick

161
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,239
Speaker 1: a side to pick another and argue both sides. I could,

162
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: but he felt like, I've got to get something out

163
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: of this day. I avoided the loss by having blanket

164
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: Ship missed the field goal already. I gave my offense

165
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: another shot. They went backwards on third and one. I'm

166
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: done let's take the tie regroup for Denver, and you

167
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: know what, we get a little positive. It's not a

168
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: W in the stat sheet. We get a little half.

169
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: We get a little half win glass half full notch.

170
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: And you know what, it can turn out to be

171
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: a positive if you are in contention at the end

172
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: of the year. Look at what happened to the Steelers

173
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: last year. They made the playoffs because they had a

174
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: tie that improved their winning percentage. It drops you down

175
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: on that lost column. So look, we'll see how it

176
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: shakes out here. At least you played them very close.

177
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: You went toe to toe with them after losing by

178
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: a combined total of sixty two to three. Last year,

179
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: this game was circled, no matter if it was Week

180
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: one or Week fifteen and sixty. The Texans put a major,

181
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: major emphasis on this game, in particular because of what

182
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: happened last year. I mean, you could kind of wash

183
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: your hands of the Bills blow out last year. It

184
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: was in the rain, it was Davis mills first road start.

185
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: You were doomed from the get go as far as

186
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: that goes, But you didn't You couldn't really explain away

187
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: what you did and how you played last year. Texans

188
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: rosters better than it was last year. Texans coaching staff

189
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: is better than it was last I mean there, this

190
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: is a better team. And I think perhaps the Colts

191
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: and definitely their fans and the media, they're still tainted

192
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: with that thought of well, this is the same old

193
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 1: Texans from the last year or so, they're not. This

194
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: is a better team. I don't know how many wins

195
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: the Texans are gonna get this year, but they're a

196
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: better team than they were in twenty twenty one. And

197
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: I know that's not saying much because Texans were bad

198
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: last year. You win four games, you're a bad football

199
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: They're they're better, and they're I think they're much better.

200
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: So I think we're going to see that as the

201
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: season plays out. All Right, we talked about changes from

202
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two. How about from

203
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: week one to week two? Lovey Smith said, expect some

204
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: changes after the Week one tie. More carries for Damian Pierce,

205
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: maybe less snaps for some of the rooky defensive players,

206
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: perhaps more playing time for Kenyan Green, the rookie offensive lineman.

207
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: What do you guys think of that? I thought it

208
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: was to start off with. I thought it was very

209
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: telling that Lovey came out in his press conference Monday

210
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: unprompted and said that he's aware of the number of

211
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: carries for Damian Pierce, which were just eleven a lot

212
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: less of a lot less than what everyone expected, knowing

213
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: that he was the starting running back, and he basically

214
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: said it was one of the mistakes of week one

215
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: and they want to change that moving forward. Listen, I

216
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: watched the game up on the five hundred level because

217
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm doing my stuff on the game day central deck

218
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: and so Deep I'm texting Deep in the game for

219
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: stuff that you know, because I'm not seeing the broadcast.

220
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: It's just in the stadium, and I'm like, it's Pierce hurt.

221
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: What's going on because he wasn't getting carries. I was like,

222
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: what's what's the deal? And she said there was nothing

223
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: mentioned on the broadcast or in the in the booth.

224
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: So it's like, I just didn't understand after what we'd

225
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: seen in the preseason, for what we'd seen in a

226
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: training camp and what we'd heard from Lovey Smith and

227
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: pet Hamilton and the rest of Pierce's teammates and pierced himself.

228
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean this is a starting back. I thought we'd

229
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: see more touches. So obviously that's going to change Sunday,

230
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: We'll see more of him. But I thought that was

231
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: going to be the case Sunday, and I know I'm

232
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: not alone, and I know that's a big, big source

233
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: of frustration for a lot of people all around. Mark

234
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: and I were talking about this in his office. There

235
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: were a few times in the game. I was telling

236
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: him how we were texting, and I said, him, looking

237
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: at him, he's on the sideline, he's got his helmet on.

238
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: And there there was at least one time, maybe more

239
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: than that, where he run onto the field for a substitution,

240
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: but then sort of you turn and come back off

241
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: the sideline. They'd wave him off. So I knew that

242
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: he was ready to go in. He just wasn't going in.

243
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: He was just waiting for his opportunity. And you know,

244
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: we were all sort of confused by it. And then

245
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: Lovey just came out Monday and said, well that's going

246
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: to change moving forward now. They maybe they trusted Rex

247
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: Burkhead because he's the more veteran back, Maybe they trust

248
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: his past protection. But I think with the game on

249
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: the line, everybody wanted to see what Damian Pierce was

250
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: able to do with in that third down situation, and

251
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: we weren't able to see it. But maybe moving forward

252
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: we will. And that's really all you can hope for

253
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: moving ahead third and one. Damian Pierce, I don't know

254
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: if he gets it or not. Right, you need a

255
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: good blocking up front. Everybody has to work together. You know,

256
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: Rex Burkhead can get the tough yards as well, and

257
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm with you that that's probably the feeling of trusting

258
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: the veteran through several instances in that game. But Pierce

259
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: needs to play to get better. He's still at eleven carries.

260
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: It wasn't like he only touched at five times. He

261
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: had eleven carries, and it wasn't like he was ripping through.

262
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: And again, I don't blame that all on him. It's

263
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: a total team effort here, and I wouldn't give him

264
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: too much credit if he did great, I wouldn't give

265
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: him too much blame if he didn't. So let's just

266
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: hope you could see more of him. Because you had

267
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: twenty five carries between the two players, right, and Burkehead

268
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: had fourteen. Pierce had eleven. Let's see if they can

269
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: get Pierce a few more touches somehow against the Broncos.

270
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: And obviously the passing game has to be better at

271
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: third down. It was two for nine after halftime. You've

272
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: got to be able to get better third down opportunities

273
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: and conversions. And this is actually not breaking news here,

274
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: but you have to sustain drives the defense. It was

275
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: a similar situation to last year where the defense gets

276
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: gassed taxed because the offense is three and out. Punt.

277
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: Like I said, two first dance in their last five possessions.

278
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: Can't have it. Too much time on the field for

279
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: the d and that twenty yard line spot. Imagine this

280
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: guy's what happens if you don't turn it over at

281
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: the twenty. Let's just say you don't turn it over

282
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: at the twenty, you go three and out and you punt. Well,

283
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: they're on a long field. They might score a touchdown,

284
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: but they used up a little more clock. Maybe you

285
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: had a chance to get after one of those balls,

286
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: maybe shut down a play. Maybe not. Maybe they score

287
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown, but that elongates the time situation a little

288
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: bit and you have a much better chance to win.

289
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: You don't give them a spot at the twenty yard line,

290
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: So they'll be I think they'll be better against the Broncos.

291
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: They'll get that week one to week two jump. Let's

292
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: hope they do. Anyway, you talk about touches for Damian

293
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: Pierce and you talk about well if he's in there

294
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: late that Ford one. I mean, if you'd given them

295
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: the ball about five more times earlier in the game. Yeah,

296
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't. I won't even ever arrive. There are

297
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: a lot of water reach. Yeah, what if to keep

298
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: doing the one ifs? What if Jalen Petrie the ball

299
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: that goes through his hand, what if he catches that?

300
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: You know you can keep doing that and we do

301
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: this all the time with a Chiefs playoff loss. So yeah, yeah, well,

302
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: well to my point here, to my point, ninety nine

303
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: to go in the game is when the coach got

304
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: the ball at to twenty, so you would have run

305
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: a little bit more clock. That was a second and

306
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: sixth play. So let's say they get it with nine

307
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: minutes left. Right now, I think it's scoring three minutes,

308
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: four minutes, whatever, But at least and then they're down

309
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown, you have another opportunity to respond, and you're

310
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: not in as much duress, I would think, but look,

311
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: it is what it is. You gotta live with it.

312
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: It's a tie, it's a glass half full situation. I'll

313
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: look at the plus side of it and move on

314
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: to Denver. Yeah, I can do another another glass half

315
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: full look at it. And I don't want to be

316
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: the Pollyanna here, But it was the first game in

317
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: this season. You're not always the sharpest your first time out.

318
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: This is the first time throwing the cooks for Mills

319
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: this season. It's been a while since those two linked up.

320
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: That was a meaningful game action. I mean, maybe things

321
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: get tightened up a little bit after getting that one

322
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: week under their belt. Maybe they don't, but maybe they do,

323
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: and that's something to remember and keep in mind. Perhaps

324
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: they improve a little bit now. Everybody should be improving,

325
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: and Lovey Smith said the biggest jump is usually from

326
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: week one to week two. If that's the case, perhaps

327
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: good things And I think there are bigger jumps throughout two.

328
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: As far as the trajectory, if assuming you do get

329
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: better as a team and you don't get worse, you

330
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: don't get banged up and worse in your performance, Assuming

331
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: they get better, I think you'll see a week one

332
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: to week two jump and then I think week five six,

333
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, after the buy here because the Bys pretty early,

334
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: you'll be able to hit some stride there. Schedules tough though,

335
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: and you got a real toughie out of the way here.

336
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: You played the Colts once. That's always a very tough game.

337
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: As we know, we've gone over this material and you

338
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: got out of it without a loss. I just don't

339
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: even know how to frame is it. But it's better

340
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: than losing, folks. You're going to face two veteran quarterbacks

341
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: in the first two weeks, and next up is Russell Wilson,

342
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: and it could be worse. You could be the Broncos

343
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: waking up today because they are coming off a really

344
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: tough loss. They've got to get things together and figure

345
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: it out on a short week. Russell Wilson and the

346
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: Broncos they fall seventeen to sixteen at Seattle, a game

347
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: where they were favored to win. Against the Seahawks. Wilson

348
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: was twenty nine of forty two for three hundred forty yards,

349
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: one touchdown but no interceptions in his debut for Denver,

350
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: and LOVEE Smith before the game talked about what it's

351
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: going to be like facing the Bronchos in week two.

352
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has been an excellent quarterback as good as

353
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: Zaria is in the league for a long period of time.

354
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: So big challenge to an even bigger challenge that we're

355
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: going to face its coming week. So that's Lovey Smith

356
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: talking about the Broncos. Obviously Mark and John caught up

357
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: with him for The Lovey Smith Show on Monday. But

358
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: watching that game, Mark, I mean, I don't know, I

359
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: watching Russell Wilson there in Week two that I just

360
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: feel like the emotions of a game like that, Yes,

361
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: you're happy to get it out of the way, but

362
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: to lose the way they did on fourth and five

363
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: and not put the ball back in Russell Wilson's hand

364
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: to give him a chance to really pull out a

365
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: win or at least get a couple of yards to

366
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: make the field goal a little bit easier. I mean,

367
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a tough pill to swallow. And now

368
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: they got to turn around really quickly and host the

369
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: Texans at home and figure things out. I guess they're thinking,

370
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: all right, if I make the field goal, I don't

371
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: want too much time on the clock left for Seattle's offense. Right,

372
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: that's if I make this field goal. So let's not

373
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: call time out right now it is fourth and five.

374
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: I don't know I felt at the time. I thought,

375
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: and I don't think they talked about this in the

376
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: broadcast with Joe Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, but I thought,

377
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: run the play quickly on fourth and five, which is

378
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: easier said than done. But then if you don't make it,

379
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: you have three timeouts. At that point, you'll get the

380
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: ball deep in your territory. I know, not a lot

381
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: of time left, maybe thirty five seconds or so, but

382
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: you'll have a shot with Russell Wilson to get into

383
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: sixty four yard field goal range at the very least.

384
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: So let your guy do his thing and see if

385
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: you can convert. You're not far off the mark. On

386
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: the Manning Manning broadcast with Peyton and Eli Peyton, Manning

387
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: was saying the same thing, like, Okay, you've got three

388
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: time outs, you got plenty of time. You can run

389
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: a quick play here, and he was literally I was

390
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: listening to clips of it because I was also watching

391
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: the Troy Aikman Joe Buck broadcast, but he was talking

392
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: through like Okay, they have time to run one more play.

393
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: They got lots of time, no need to panic. But

394
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: then they run so much time off the clock thinking

395
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: while they're thinking, and then they call the time out,

396
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: which I was, like, what is And then they pull

397
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: out the field goal kicking unit, and Shannon Sharp also Broncos,

398
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: also former Bronco, loses his mind because at that point

399
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: it's when Peyton and Eli sort of figure out that hey,

400
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna kick a field goal, and Shannon Sharpe said,

401
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: kick what kick? What are they gonna what are they

402
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: gonna kick? Well, if there's any if there's any quarterback

403
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: who it's tailor made for on fourth and short, right,

404
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: that guy he can dance around and get the yardage.

405
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: She's got the arm, you know, he's got a Looking

406
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: at their skill position players, holy cow, their talents. I mean,

407
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: two really good running backs, they've got the two receivers, like,

408
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a really really good team, and

409
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: he's got so many options and he can just run

410
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: for stuff to like, Yeah, it's it's a dumbfounding decision

411
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: all at all. You also have to think about what

412
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: the opponent doesn't want you to do exactly, because think

413
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: about it from the Seahawks point of view, would you

414
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: rather have the Broncos attempt a sixty four yard field

415
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: goal or leave Russell Wilson on the field right now.

416
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: I'll take my chances with the field goal. If I'm Seattle,

417
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: I had zero confidence in Seattle stopping them all when

418
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: he got the ball in the drives. Like game over,

419
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna get this field goal. This is easy money

420
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: for exactly And even though it's fourth and five, I'm like,

421
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: fourth and five, we've seen it with Russell close and personal.

422
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: So if you're a Seattle you're thinking, oh, please get

423
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson off the field. I'd rather see McManus try

424
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: a field goal from impossible range. Nearly twelve percent conversion

425
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: rate over the history of his career from beyond sixty

426
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: whatever the numbers are. You know, we make a big

427
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: deal about analytics and look, beyond sixty yards is hard

428
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: to figure out. This is a long shot, folks, This

429
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be a long shot to make this one.

430
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: But Russell Wilson on fourth and five, it's like a

431
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: fifty fifty shot. Yeah, you know the win probability chart

432
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: that you know that, Yeah, first quarter third quarter. Well,

433
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: the Drew Doherty win probability chart when they when they

434
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: got the ball the Seahawks, it was one hundred percent Bronchos,

435
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: not when the Seahawks, when the Broncos got the ball back,

436
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: one hundred percent Bronchos will win this game. Russell Wilson

437
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: will get them in field goal territory, and their guyle

438
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: bang it through. When they went out there on fourth

439
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: and lined up for the field goal, it dropped significantly

440
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: down to win probability less than the football outsiders actually

441
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: did do a win probability. The win probability if they

442
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: had gone with a play on fourth and five thirty

443
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: six point one percent. Okay, yeah, guess what it was

444
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: if they kicked a field goal around ten less seven

445
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: point four point four see different seven. I was with

446
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: the seven percent, but my win probably had they gone

447
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: for it was one hundred percent. Gets to look Nathaniel

448
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: Hacket this fourth and five though, that's on the Drew

449
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: dohrty scale, not on there. Wait, I thought you said

450
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: starting the drive. Yeah and no, and if they give

451
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: him the ball to like, if they give Russell Wilson

452
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: the ball, yeah, he's gonna get that. No, problem. I

453
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: totally thought he get. I mean, I don't know if

454
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: i'd say one hundred percent, but I mean it was

455
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: pretty high, at least fifty fifty. This goes back to

456
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: coordinator really good at his job, gets a head coaching job,

457
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: and you might be really good at it. But this

458
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: is a tough spot for a first game for a

459
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: head coach because that's a tough decision to make right there.

460
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not that tough according to some people, but

461
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: you know, you're at Seattle. It's crazy, it's loud, a

462
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: lot of pressure, an unusual sort of situation. Maybe not

463
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: that unusual, but something where you have to sort of

464
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: play chess on the fly. That's tough for a first

465
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: time head coach. Hive me ten more yards if I'm

466
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: gonna send my kid, Yes, And you know what, you

467
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,719
Speaker 1: have to think about these situations. If I'm in this

468
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: situation now, the exact situation is hard to imagine. Maybe,

469
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 1: but you also don't have to have a feel for that.

470
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: I think it's tough for a first game for a

471
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: first time head coach. It really is. There's a difference

472
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: when you sit in that chair for so many reasons,

473
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: for so many things, you have to deal with on

474
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: and off the field, and in that situation, being a coordinator,

475
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: you never had to worry about it before. You just

476
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: had to have a play ready for the head coach

477
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: if he decides to go for it on fourth and five,

478
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: And usually the play is have Russell Wilson run around

479
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: and make a play like That's what I'm dialing up

480
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: in that situation. But they you know, it's not just that.

481
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: I think they've got a lot to clean up. Before

482
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: Sunday's game against the Texans, they had one hundred and

483
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: six yards and penalties. They fumbled twice at the goal line.

484
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: Can I mean even if yeah, even if you decide to,

485
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,719
Speaker 1: I mean, it shouldn't Maybe they wouldn't have even been

486
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: in that position, have they not made all those mistakes

487
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 1: earlier on. But I mean it's going to be tough

488
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: sledding for them this week to turn things around. And

489
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: it's a short week and that was a probably an

490
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: exhausting trip that they had to travel on. Yes it is.

491
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: Mark Vandermer would say, they're not fat and happy. So

492
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: they did not win and they're not satisfied. This is

493
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: good though, right that they're not fat, What are we're

494
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: skin I don't know what a tie is, Mark, not skinny,

495
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: now we don't feel good? Is actually not skinny. It's

496
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: better than a loss because you feel like it's a loss,

497
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: you don't have that edge, but you didn't really lose.

498
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: You're tied for first in the AFC South, So there's that. Yeah,

499
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,239
Speaker 1: I'm not really I still don't know what to make

500
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: of the tie, and I feel like we might not Ever.

501
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: This might be one of those things we look back

502
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: many years from now and say, remember that time we

503
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: tied in week when, first time the Texans tie in

504
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: franchise history, the first time they've ever gone into overtime

505
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: in week one? How about that at first but not

506
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: the first time going into overtime against the Colts third

507
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: time ever. I don't even have to look that up.

508
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: How about that? All right? I've got a quick vander

509
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: quiz for you now, said that got it done? And

510
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: also Watson in eighteen week four? Yeah, all right, Mark,

511
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: we saw three rookies make their NFL start against the Colts,

512
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: though most rookies, the Texans has started in week one

513
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: since when two thousand and two, I mean, that's that's

514
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: a lot after that for two thousand and six, two

515
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: thousand and six, Marks so good at this game. Yeah,

516
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: Demico Mario, you know, Owen Daniels might have started that game.

517
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: Charles Spencer probably started that game. Yesston Winston might not

518
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: have started one more, Um was it Winston? No, Wally

519
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: Lundi started that game. Oh my gosh, there you go with.

520
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: This has to be a reoccurring segment. And someone vander

521
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: quiz on Mark. I'm like always astounded, and I just

522
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: threw that in there, thinking there's no way he's gonna

523
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: Textan's household name, Wally Lundy, Wally Lundy, Marks like, oh,

524
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: Wally Lundy. Of course that was the other game. All right,

525
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break. We come back. We're going

526
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: to discuss my own Week one Emmys, have little votes

527
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: on that, and then we'll go around the NFL, because

528
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: why not, it's week one. Let's have some fun Texans

529
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: All Access when we come back, don't go anywhere back

530
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: with more Texans All Access. It's week two. We are

531
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: on to week two. We're hoo and one that's gonna take.

532
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a challenge all season. Mark to

533
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: say our record. Oh, I don't think about that, on

534
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: the air during the final call the other night, I said,

535
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: they are oh, and I'm thinking it's definitely oo because

536
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: it's the one loss, and then the tie column is

537
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: the third one, So just get it right, Mark, This

538
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: is me thinking on the fly, oh and one not

539
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: and one too many ends? Yea and one yeah. Hopefully

540
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: we fill up the first column more so than the

541
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: second column, and then we just throw on them one

542
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: of the end. You know, I was saying to these

543
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: guys in the studio earlier today when I was at

544
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: Central Michigan the year before I got there. This is

545
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: before college football had overtime, so we had ties, and

546
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: Central Michigan had one of the weirdest records ever. They

547
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: were six one and four. They had four ties. Yes,

548
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: I think that's a record. So there were six one

549
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: in four nineteen ninety one in football. Just strange stuff happens.

550
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you're with me, the NFL

551
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: should not have ties. We should eliminate ties. Figure out

552
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: a way to solve the problem on the field right

553
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: there or that afternoon without playing five quarters or whatever.

554
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: You know what, each team gets a possession, put the

555
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: ball at the two. We're gonna do two point conversions

556
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: until somebody wins and we're out of here. After all

557
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: that football of sixteen minutes and each team getting a possession,

558
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: if you can't come up with a winner, we're gonna

559
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: do this and get out of here with a winner

560
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: a loss. Why don't you do it like in soccer

561
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: when everyone lines up to kick all the kicks. Yeah, kicks,

562
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: but like everybody's just a line up and try to

563
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: kick field goals. No, all the entire team. Like, here's

564
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: Laramie Tunsel to try his we line up all the

565
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: emergency kickers. First, have the old lineman trying to catch

566
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: punts whoever plays a different position. Yeah, that'll be a

567
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: quick way to score. I don't think so. They should

568
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: do something kind of entertaining in the second overtime, just

569
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: to jazz things up. We're tired, we're tired, we have headaches.

570
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: We need entertainment. Now. Now I need to be entertained,

571
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: So change things up. You know, it doesn't seem like

572
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: the AFC North has a tie every single year or

573
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: is that just me? I always feel like Cincinnati Baltimore,

574
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: I feel like they always end up in ties in

575
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: that division. Last year, Yeah, it's always that division. Is

576
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: it gonna be our division next? Because I just I

577
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: don't know if I can handle more Ties. Maybe we'll

578
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: be pros if it happens again. I just like it

579
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: that Jacksonville and Tennessee both lost. I was rooting so

580
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: hard for the Giants that afternoon. Come on, come on,

581
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: put us in first place, Titans. Thank you, Randy Bullock.

582
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: All right, I am so glad you brought that up,

583
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: because I've actually put together a list of my own

584
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: Week one Emmy's because the Emmys were on and I

585
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: think we did this a few years back, but we

586
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: really didn't watch the Emmy's last night because the game

587
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: was too good. But after looking at the Week one games,

588
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: there were a lot of big moments. So I'm gonna

589
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: have I'm gonna have you vote on my first category.

590
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: The biggest shocker of Week one goes to the Texans

591
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: and Colts ended to tie the Titans fault twenty one

592
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: to twenty two the Giants after Randy Bullock misses a

593
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: forty seven yard field gold wide right, Aaron Rodgers throws

594
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: a zero road touchdowns against Minnesota as the Packers fall

595
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: twenty three to seven, or the six and a half

596
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: point underdog Seahawks beat Russell Wilson and the Broncos at

597
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: home on primetime. That's a lot of options there. It

598
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: is a lot of options. I would say the Giants

599
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: are probably the biggest shocker. I know the Texans were

600
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: big underdogs against the Colts, okay, and a tie is

601
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: a surprise anytime. But the Giants doing what they did.

602
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: When you look at the numbers for Sequon Barkley versus

603
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: Derek Henry, you'd think, wait a minute, do you have

604
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: these players right here next to the proper number? Are

605
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: you sure it's not the other way around? No, it's not.

606
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: Henry got held under ninety and Barkley went off on

607
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: the Titans and early on in that game. Look, we

608
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: were upstairs after our game. That game was up on

609
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: the monitor, and I think I said to you and

610
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: Drew when the Titans were up thirteen nothing, I said,

611
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: they're gonna win by fifty? Are you kidding? But Dabele

612
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: has done a nice jobs. Yeah, I mean, well, I

613
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: wasn't happy about it, but I thought they're gonna man

614
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: handle them in Nashville Week one. They lost at home

615
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: last year in the opener. They're not going to do

616
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 1: that twice in a row. At the same time, the

617
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: Packers who got blown out last year in the opener,

618
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: then they're not gonna lose the opener, are they? Yeah?

619
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: They are and badly. They just didn't look good. Well,

620
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: no Davante Adams, And there was so much talk about

621
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers being in the MVP conversation yet again. I mean,

622
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: I feel like there was so much hyper on Aaron

623
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: Rodgers this year that to not throw any touchdowns against

624
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota and Kirk Cousins. I mean, Kirk Cousins had better numbers.

625
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: He's got Justin Jefferson too. If you put him. Jefferson

626
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: had a day. Yeah, I mean, I don't know who

627
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: had him in fantasy football, but I would not want

628
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: to be playing against him in Week one. Some franchises

629
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: excel at producing certain positions. The Vikings produced wide receivers.

630
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's just been that way historically. I mean

631
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: you look at when Randy Moss was on the team.

632
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Diggs is now in Buffalo, and then you

633
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: look at Justin Jefferson taking over torch past. It's nice.

634
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm not comparing Diggs to Randy Moss, so don't at me.

635
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: But Diggs is a very nice receiver. You got to

636
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: admit that, all right. Next category, best storyline of Week

637
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: one goes to one. Patrick mahomesters five touchdown passes to

638
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: receivers not named Tyree Hill. Barkley goes nuts, rushing for

639
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty four yards on eighteen carries. One

640
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: of his runs was sixty eight yards. By the way,

641
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: under new head coach Brian Dable, or Gino Smith rallies

642
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, throwing two touchdown passes in a seventeen to

643
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: sixteen win against Russell Wilson. All Right, I think Gino

644
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: Smith is a pretty good storyline here. I'm no Seahawks fan,

645
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: and I was poo pooing the Gino Smith. Everybody was

646
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: kick everybody not over drew lock. But just this is

647
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: your plan. You got these two guys, and I know

648
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: they're both veterans, and Geno's played a lot of games,

649
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: by the way people looked at it last night, and

650
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: then we're saying, hey, Geno's had a lot of start. Yeah,

651
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: Gino's played in this league, but he has not played

652
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: for a while. I know he played last year, but

653
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: he hasn't played consistently being the guy you are anointed

654
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: the starter of this team opening day right, first opening

655
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: day start in eight years or something like that. For

656
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: Gino Smith, he is the story I think, or should

657
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: be deep. I think his story is overshadowed by the

658
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: late game mess up. As people define it, we don't.

659
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,479
Speaker 1: They define it differently using different words. By Nathaniel Hack, Yes,

660
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: but Gino probably and you know, as the dust settles here,

661
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: Gino will get a lot more love for what he

662
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: did on the field last night. For the Seattle Seahawks,

663
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't know where it's going for them, but people

664
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: sort of presume that they would lose last night, and

665
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: yet everybody in the NFC West taking a loss on

666
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: opening weekend, but they didn't. Because guess who's in first place?

667
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: The Seattle Seahawks, the team that everyone picked to finish

668
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: last in that division after Week one, it gets the

669
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: tough opponent they are in first place, especially after the

670
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: entire storyline throughout Seahawks camp was they have they have

671
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: no solution at quarterback. Yeah, they have no solution at quarterback.

672
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: Everyone had written Gino Smith off. He said it in

673
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: his postgame interview. They wrote me off. But I ain't

674
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: right back, and I thought, wow, that's I mean, he's

675
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: got a chip on his shoulder, as you should, because

676
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: he hasn't been able to really latch onto any team

677
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: in all these years. Me personally, I think the Saquon

678
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: Barkley stories just because he was drafted so high. He's

679
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: just been with these awful offenses the past few years.

680
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: He's been hurt, he's been hurt, and now he comes back.

681
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: It's yet another new head coach. You know, no one

682
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: knows what their quarterback situation is going to yield this year.

683
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: But he just has an outstanding Week one game. I mean,

684
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: nobody was talking about sa Quon Barkley's being like a

685
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: lead rusher, were they or did I miss it? Nobody was, No,

686
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: You're right, nobody was because people assume he will get

687
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: hurt or the Giants are gonna be that bad that

688
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: it won't matter and he won't be able to get

689
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: those yards. For whatever reason, They're gonna be down. They're

690
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: gonna have to throw it. Daniel Jones is going to

691
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: turn it over a billion times. All the narratives that

692
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: have plagued the Giants for the last few years, they're

693
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: all gonna play out. Well, maybe they don't. That was

694
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: a really great performance. Maybe it's an aberration. We'll see.

695
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: It's only week one. Everybody's gonna change, right, everybody hopes

696
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: to get better. Everyone's gonna change as the weeks go

697
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: on here. But I think it's a terrific story for

698
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: them and for him. If he stays healthy, he's certainly

699
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: a candidate to be one of the top rushers in

700
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: the league the year. Absolutely qualified for that kind of thing.

701
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, I think is the best back in the league,

702
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: but Barkley is certainly in the conversation at the very league.

703
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: If he's healthy, look at him, he's amazing. But can

704
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: he stay with it? Can he stay off the trainer's

705
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: table and into the lineup and making things happen like

706
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: he did on Sunday? And by the way, the Chiefs

707
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: and Cardinals, that Cardinals team, that's gonna be pretty interesting.

708
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,719
Speaker 1: This could be quite the train wreck this year if

709
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't, if the ship doesn't write almost immediately, I

710
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: worry for my friends who work for that organization. You know,

711
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: I know we both know people who work in that

712
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: organization that I don't know. I just don't feel like

713
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: they're going to stick together the way a lot of

714
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: teams can when they're having struggles. So we'll see, we'll

715
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: see how it plays out with them. It's only one game,

716
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: but and it is the Chiefs, and they can roll

717
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: over anybody. They can steamroll on any opponent in the

718
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: league when they're hot, and they were hot on Sunday.

719
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: I mean they're scary there, They're really really scary. Mahomes

720
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: continues to play like that, all right, worst moment for

721
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: a team goes to fourth and five and the Broncos

722
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: decided to kick a sixty four yard field goal with

723
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson on the sideline. The win probability for the

724
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons which was at ninety seven point one percent

725
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: against the Saints. They were up twenty three to ten

726
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: and the fourth quarter, but then the Saints rallied back

727
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: and you know, a couple touchdowns by Michael Thomas, a

728
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: fifty one yard last second field goal by wool Lets,

729
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: and boom, the Saints win that one or three. Jerry

730
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: Jones tells reporters after Sunday Night's game that Dak Prescott

731
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: will undergo hand surgery. Well, I think Nathaniel Hacket's gonna

732
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: win it. I think that. But as a fan, all

733
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: these things are happening, what's the worst moment, It's definitely

734
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: the Broncos. It's definitely the Broncos. Well, well, Dallas is

735
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: bad because it's it's multiple weeks. I should say Dallas

736
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: if Jerry Jones comes out right after the game and

737
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: says that immediately, I mean, I saw all these like

738
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: a it's Jerry though. You know, Jerry talks to the

739
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: media after every game, right, so he's going to be

740
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: honest about a lot of them. I feel like I'm

741
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: leading your answer on this one. Yeah, you're right. You're

742
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: right because it's multiple weeks here without Dak and they've

743
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: gone through this a couple of years ago. Last year

744
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: they won twelve games. People forget that. They just remember

745
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: remember the playoff flame out when they couldn't get the

746
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: ball spiked and they ran out of time. But I

747
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: don't feel bad for them. It's doab. I don't either.

748
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: I don't either. But you know, the funniest part is

749
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: the Week one overreaction. Someone had asked on Twitter, what's

750
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: a what's your Week one overreaction? And someone had put

751
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: a playoff scenario chart. The Texans were in the hunt

752
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: on this chart, being one and eliminated already was I

753
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: don't know why, just it's so funny. It's so funny.

754
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, just make me laugh. It's so good. It

755
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: really is. And some people would say, hey, Lovey going

756
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: for the tie should be on there. This didn't even

757
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: make my list. Were many other moments Lovey going for

758
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: the tie. We covered it at the top here. This

759
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: is a calculated move on his par Hard with all

760
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: these years of experience, didn't want to get the loss,

761
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: decided to go for a half win, and we'll see

762
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: where it takes the Texans. Maybe later on in the

763
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: season you'll be like, you know what, I'll take the tie.

764
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: That worked out in our favor. Yeah, look, everybody would

765
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: have loved to win the game. If they are third

766
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: and one, you know what, get that yard. I think

767
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: if they just get stuffed. He's going for it on

768
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: fourth and one. Somehow there's some play. But now it's

769
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: fourth and three. It's not an obvious run situation at all.

770
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: It's not even an obvious pass situation. But it's kind

771
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: of you got to throw the ball fourth and three, right,

772
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna go Mills in the shotgun and see what happens.

773
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: And if you don't make it. The way the Colts

774
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: were rolling in the second half offensively, I didn't feel

775
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: good about stopping them. I felt like fourth and three

776
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: you were probably going to lose the game. Now, I

777
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: hate to be a negative, and you and I came

778
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: up with the best play of all. What was the

779
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: best playing lineup? Jeffter a school and all you're running back? Oh, no,

780
00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: third one. The way things l formation, everybody, Frisco, I'd

781
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: want two plays right. The Driscoll thing worked, Okay, Driscoll

782
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: had that one run up the right sideline and he

783
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: tight rope the sideline, got the first down on third

784
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: and one. If they had rolled Driscoll out there, I'm

785
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: not that's not the worst idea. Okay. If you're the

786
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: Coult you're thinking, Okay, they brought him in here. He

787
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 1: handed off once and he ran it once. I don't

788
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: think he's gonna throw it. I don't think he's gonna

789
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: throw it, but you never know. Driscoll with some sort

790
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: of run pass option kind of thing, like rolled Driscoll out,

791
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: He's got he's got wheels. Now he showed it Driscoll

792
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: diving on third and one, not fourth and three, third

793
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: and one, Driscoll I would have been okay with that.

794
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: I would have been all right with that because I

795
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: think it would have kept the Colts off balanced enough

796
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: to make them wonder what's going to happen. Is he

797
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: gonna throw it, is going to run it? Is he

798
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: going to hand it off? Just a decoy? But Dap

799
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 1: Driscoll and Pierced in the game at that moment think

800
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: about it, because they would say, oh, well, it's probably

801
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: gonna go to Pierce, but maybe not Driscoll. They would

802
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: be thinking about it. And look with Burkehead in the

803
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: game with Mills one, I was thinking, they're gonna throw

804
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: it here. It's gonna be some kind of playfake. They're

805
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: gonna throw it. So they handed off. It didn't work.

806
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: They went backwards. Love. He made his decision. We'll live

807
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: with it and move on to Denver. I think you

808
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: should on a napkin or on a piece of paper,

809
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: write this up and the next time you have love

810
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: you on just just offer yourself out there. Look, here's

811
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: what we came up with on tea. I'm sure you'll

812
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: be like Mark thank you very much. I can immediately

813
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: throw it in the garbage. All right, we got one

814
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: more segment. We're gonna go around the NFL. Some of

815
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: the worst news of the NFL, maybe not so bad,

816
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: some injury updates. It's all coming up on Texans All Access.

817
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: One final segment. One final segment of Texans All Access,

818
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: we go around the NFL. Mark and I were just

819
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: talking about our Emmy nums, and I thought we both

820
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: agreed that the worst news for a fan would be

821
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: to hear about Dak Prescott. But Jerry Jones Mark, he

822
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: went on the fan this morning YEA and Dallas one

823
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: oh five point three, and he says that Dak Prescott's

824
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: not going to go in ir He had hand surgery

825
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: this morning, but there's a chance he can as fewer

826
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 1: than four games. Initial reports on Sunday had Prescott missing

827
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: sixty eight weeks, but after a successful surgery Monday morning,

828
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: reports came in at four to six weeks, and Jones hinted,

829
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 1: there's a good chance it's gonna be closer to that number.

830
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how these players do it. You know,

831
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: hand surgery, You have surgeries and you get immediately thrust

832
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: back into the lineup upon a clean bill of health

833
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: instead of you know what, you're able to be human

834
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 1: and walk around and do your thing and brush your

835
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 1: teeth and whatever you have to do. No, go get

836
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: in more collisions with other big humans, many of which

837
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: are much bigger than you, who want to maim you.

838
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: As Jim McMahon used to say, I don't know if

839
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: you ever heard that cut. I don't have it handy here,

840
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: Jim McMahon, Man, it's a weird game. They just people

841
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: want to maim you. Oh yes, yeah, it's a way

842
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: to put it. Yeah, But it's you know, the Chicago

843
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 1: Bears did their share of maiming. But I mean Derrick

844
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: Henry last year when he had a broken toe or

845
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: broken bone in his foot. I mean, I've had that

846
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: three times in my life. It's it's four months and

847
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do about it. It just has

848
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: I've been told so many times. Bone just has to heal.

849
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: You can take you can take vitamin D, you can

850
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: take calcium, you can do whatever you want, but the

851
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 1: bone's going to grow back at the rate the bone's

852
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: going to grow back. And so I thought, there's no

853
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: way Derrick Henry's going to come back for the new year.

854
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: And these these these players, these athletes are amazing what

855
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: their bodies are able to do, and they had that

856
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 1: will in that fortitude to come back and not miss

857
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: any games. I didn't see him on Sunday when he

858
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: didn't get the Hundy, you know, it didn't get what

859
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: you would expect on the ground. And I got to

860
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: see him as the season wears on here. He didn't

861
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: look right in the playoff game. Now he came back.

862
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: Didn't look great against the Giants as far as the

863
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: numbers go. But I gotta you know, I saw it

864
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: a little bit on the monitor, But I gotta watch

865
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: that game and we'll obviously get to sample's work later

866
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: on when the Texans face the Titans home and road.

867
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: All right, Well, good news also for t J. Watt

868
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: after what appeared to be a torn peck in the

869
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: Sunday's game. It looks like he's not going to have

870
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: to undergo surgery. He could also be back in as

871
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: little as six weeks, according to Tom Pellisero and Ian

872
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: Repport of NFL Network. So, I mean, Mark, you and

873
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: I know pectoral terrors season, any injuries, JJ had one back,

874
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,720
Speaker 1: but that's the game that he came back against Buffalo

875
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: was the torn Pack and we just all thought it

876
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: was nuts that he was able to come back. And

877
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: and here's t J Watt. He's going to come back

878
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: probably in October, which is crazy. Also, Whitney Mercil has

879
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: had a pick Tiar. Yes, he's Mario Williams. I want

880
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: to say it, Mario Williams. Is that of biceps? I

881
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: don't know, Yeah, maybe a biceps, biceps tries some sort

882
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: of muscle DP he tore something he was out for

883
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: the year. The year, Yeah, that was two thousand and eleven.

884
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if Mario stays healthy in two thousand

885
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,399
Speaker 1: and eleven on the number two defense in the league?

886
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: Stop me anyway? What JJ Watt was inactive on Sunday?

887
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering. You know, we talk about Andrew like

888
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: a soft tissue of the calf, right, Yeah, so you know,

889
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: hoping he can come back, and he's been through a

890
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: lot of rehab, man, I mean, you mentioned him coming

891
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: back in twenty nineteen last year. Does the same kind

892
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: of thing out for a long time comes back? How

893
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: many times can you do that? He's amazing with these

894
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: rehab returns. It's incredible to watch. I'm just wondering the

895
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: kind of wear and tear it has on his spirit.

896
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: But you know what, just keeps going through everything, it seems.

897
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: I think as long as he can come back for

898
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 1: like a playoff game or meaningful games in December, I

899
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: think that that gives you that that will to come

900
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: back and go through your rehab. I think it's much

901
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: harder if you know it's the entire year and it's

902
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: going to be a whole year before you plague, and

903
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: I think that's really hard. But I think for a

904
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: guy like JJ, he uses that as his motivation. I

905
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: mean him coming back in that Buffalo game. Like we

906
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: thought it was crazy, And I remember talking to Whitney

907
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: Merciless used to do the players show at Food Wreckers,

908
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: and I said, Whitney, you had a peck tear, like,

909
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: how how crazy is it that JJ is going to

910
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: try to come back? And he said it's insane. He said,

911
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: that is a really tough injury to come back from

912
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: in the same season, So if he's able to do it,

913
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: it'll be tremendous. Of course JJ did. He was quiet

914
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: until he had the sack against the Buffalo Bills player

915
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: the game, really play the game. It got everything. It

916
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: got the players going, at the crowd going, and for

917
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: a guy like JJ that that probably was worth even

918
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: if they lost in Kansas City next week, that play

919
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: alone was probably worth him working his way back and

920
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 1: trying to rush back for the playoffs. Four playoff victories

921
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: in a history of the franchise, still more than the

922
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys in the last twenty years. And he was a

923
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: part of all of it. But he was a part

924
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: of all of them. Well wait a minute, no, three

925
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: out of the four. Yeah, not the Brockier. That was

926
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: Clowney taken over for a while because he had that

927
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: pay in the red zone. Right, Well, it wasn't the

928
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: red zone. You're backed up. The Raiders were better. The

929
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,479
Speaker 1: Raiders were Ye. The Clowny tried to score on the play,

930
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: what like in the same end zone, couldn't get there.

931
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: But it was a big play. Kid. Reporter my son

932
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: asked him a Clowney about that in play reporter He's like, well,

933
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, Jadev, I'm like, why didn't you

934
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: score on that? I was just seeing sweating. He's like,

935
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: the guy the guy had the guy caught me by

936
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: the leg He told my son to watch the figures.

937
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: Jogi would ask that question. He asked a tough question.

938
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 1: He told Joey to go watch the film on it

939
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: and Joey said, fine, all right, well that's gonna do
