1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,280
Speaker 1: What is up everybody?

2
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 2: Welcome to a Friday edsue of Texans All Access from

3
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 2: the Hondai Texans Radio Studio.

4
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, Football on the Sideline Reporter.

5
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: So great to be with you as we are less

6
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: than forty eight hours away from taking on the Arizona

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: Cardinals at Energy Stadium for the first time since twenty seventeen. Yes,

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray and the Cardinals with Kyler Murray one to oher,

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: So it's a team to be reckon with. There's no

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 2: doubt with all that Kyler Murray brings to it. He

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: is in serious mode and he don't want to talk

12
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 2: about the Vikings. He doesn't want to talk about Josh Dobbs.

13
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: He just wants to talk about beating the Houston Texans.

14
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: Hopefully that won't happen. So we'll have my keys and

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: my predictions a little later in the show. Will also

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: have Blake Cassman with us, both doing a pregame interview

17
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: and a little Drew Dozen got a couple of cutlets

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: from Devin Singletary and Jalen Peatree.

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: We got defensive coordinator.

20
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: Matt Burt joining us as well, plus Drew Doherty wet

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: behind enemy sidelines this week with Ed Smith of the

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: Believe Network right there in Arizona. Now, what's this connection

23
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,919
Speaker 2: to last week with the Bengals. Well, Earth Smith Junior

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: a tight end for the Bengals. His father, IRV Smith,

25
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: is the brother of Ed Smith.

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: Follow that.

27
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: So Ed Smith's here with us to talk about the Cardinals,

28
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: not the Bengals. So we'll have Ed Smith a little

29
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: later in the show. But we kick off each and

30
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: every show with two interviews, but the first one as

31
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: always with Marthy and Demure and the head coach. You're

32
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: Houston Texans, Demico Ryans, Mark take it away all right?

33
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: Coach?

34
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 4: Facing the Cardinals when you have the ball? What makes

35
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 4: them tough up front? What makes them a challenge? And

36
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 4: I know Buddha Baker's on that back end as well.

37
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 4: What about facing the Arizona defense.

38
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, the challenge with Arizona is they are a very

39
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 5: complex scheme. They do a bunch of different things. They

40
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 5: really want to get their two safeties involved. The two

41
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 5: safeties are their best players, so they'll do a lot

42
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 5: of inserting the safeties into the run, fits into the

43
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 5: past game underneath coverage. So they do everything they can

44
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 5: to make it as difficult as possible, giving you different pictures,

45
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 5: changing up the look, dropping eight in coverage, so they

46
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 5: will be very multiple in their scheme. We just have

47
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 5: to go through our process and execute. If we execute

48
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 5: like we're supposed to, we'll be just fine.

49
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 4: Well, it's Murray's second game back. As we look at

50
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 4: their offense and whatever they've done earlier might be different

51
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: with him, and from week one to week two with him,

52
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 4: what are you expecting from their attack?

53
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 6: Right?

54
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 5: Expecting them to really rely on what Murray has done

55
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 5: in the past. Right, the offense that was ran before

56
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 5: under center, A lot of those things from the Cleveland

57
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 5: background really doesn't fit Kyler style.

58
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 7: So I expect them.

59
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 5: To be more in gun, more of the quick rpo

60
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 5: passing games, zone read, and they they'll of course take

61
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 5: their shots to Hollywood Brown when they get an opportunity.

62
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: All Right, it's the NFL.

63
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 4: I know guys are out for all teams, but you've

64
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 4: got a lot of guys out and know they're guys

65
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 4: coming in a lot of mixing and matching, but have

66
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 4: overcome it. How does that help your team confidence wise?

67
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: In these situations?

68
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 5: It really helps us because no one gets flustered. If

69
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 5: somebody's out, nobody's in a panic. Everybody understands that it

70
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 5: doesn't matter who's out there, right, everybody's going to give up,

71
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 5: give their best. And if we play together as a team, right,

72
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 5: that's where we thrive, right, not relying on one particular person,

73
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 5: but everybody doing their job, playing together.

74
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 7: That's how we are able to thrive.

75
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 5: Even though we've lost a lot of people, mixed in

76
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 5: a lot of groups here and there. Everybody going in

77
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 5: playing relentless, that's how we can overcome.

78
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 4: You've been playing really well at home. Crowd gets louder.

79
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 4: What about communication with the defense? How do you get

80
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: ready for that? Do you practice with more noise? How

81
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 4: do you prepare for that?

82
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 5: And we cranked up the music this week because we're

83
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 5: expecting our fans to be rowdy, So we cranked up

84
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 5: the music on defense to make it difficult for our

85
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 5: guys in practice. And that's what we want in our

86
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 5: stadium on Sunday.

87
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 7: We want it to be.

88
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 5: Difficult for the defense. But if it's difficult for us, now,

89
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 5: it's the challenge for their offense. So we want to

90
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 5: have Kyler confused so he can't do many checks at

91
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 5: the line. So hopefully our fans are rowdy and loud

92
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 5: because we need them.

93
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: All right, what about the kicking game phase of this thing?

94
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, if kicking game be huge, we'll see if we

95
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 5: can get some opportunities in the punt return game. They

96
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 5: have a really dynamic returner right in number eighty three

97
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 5: doors explosive, really good contact balance that we have to

98
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 5: do a great job of swarming in our coverage lanes,

99
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 5: and we'll see if we can get an opportunity in

100
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 5: the punt return game as well.

101
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 7: With our returners.

102
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: All right, coach, thanks a lot, good luck.

103
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: Thanks Mark also joining us to kick off the show.

104
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: One of Drika Ryan's I don't know pet projects. Is

105
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: that the right way of saying this, I don't know.

106
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: One of the players that has thrived in this defense

107
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: Undernmika Ryans is Blake cash Bean. He sat down to

108
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: talk about this one against the Cardinals with our own

109
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: drud Tordy Drew.

110
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: Take it away.

111
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 6: Linebacker Blake Cashman joins us, Now you're taking on the

112
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 6: Arizona Cardinals, and before we get into the matchup, you

113
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,559
Speaker 6: know we talked back in May at a community event

114
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 6: and you were really excited about the defense you're playing

115
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 6: in and the position that the coaches had you focused

116
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 6: on and said, hey, take ownership of this spot. You've

117
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 6: definitely come out and done that. How do you think

118
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 6: about your progress and how do you think it's going

119
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 6: in that regard? On a personal level.

120
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 8: I think my progress has been has been good.

121
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 9: I feel like every week that goes by, I get

122
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 9: more and more comfortable and I had the confidence where

123
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 9: I can take, you know, or start to take this

124
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 9: defense to the next level. As you know, the season's

125
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 9: gone on, coaches have definitely put more responsibility on my plate,

126
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 9: which you know, I like to see because I think

127
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 9: as a player, that tells you you're doing something something good.

128
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 9: But really just answering that call that the coaches are

129
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 9: putting on me and just have owning those new responsibilities,

130
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 9: new techniques, new positions in the defense really helped me

131
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 9: thrive in this defense.

132
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 6: And collectively, where do you think you guys are headed

133
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 6: right now? I think we're rolling in the right direction.

134
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 9: Obviously, you know, we still got a lot of ball

135
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 9: to play, but you know, I think we're starting to

136
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 9: play with some sound football on all phases, and that's

137
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 9: what it takes to be you know, a playoff team,

138
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 9: you know, a potential championship team. You know you have

139
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 9: to be ext on offense, defense, special teams, and we're

140
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 9: starting to do that. Obviously, there's still things we can

141
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 9: be better on. But you see the confidence in this

142
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 9: locker room and on this team.

143
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 8: You see the energy. You know we have all the.

144
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 9: Right pieces and when it takes to be in a

145
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 9: great spot at the end of the year.

146
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 6: And the last two weeks in particular, and this happens

147
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 6: every game, but especially so the last two weeks. All

148
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 6: three phases offense, defense, special teams. You're a part of

149
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 6: two of those. You guys have come up with massive,

150
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 6: massive plays, not just one, but many plays on each

151
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 6: side of the ball. When you're doing that collectively, I

152
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 6: imagine it just kind of amps up the fun you

153
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 6: guys are having, especially when you're winning.

154
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 8: Right absolutely.

155
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 9: I mean you see I think it's since the game,

156
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 9: Like on that kickoff, Dari came down smacked the tattooed that.

157
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 9: I mean, you just see the excitement from the sideline

158
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 9: and defense is taking the field. But the great special

159
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 9: teams play, but as a defensive player about to take

160
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 9: the field, like that gives you extra juice without question,

161
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 9: and you know they're the opponent's sideline and team is

162
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 9: going to feel that energy. You know, some people don't

163
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 9: like to believe that, like energy momentum impacts a game.

164
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 9: You believe it that I definitely do. And great football teams,

165
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 9: great teams for any sport, really the good ones, great ones.

166
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 9: They have contagious energy. And I remember Demiko talked about that,

167
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 9: I'll wave back in OTAs you know, no energy vampires,

168
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 9: as he wants everything just be lifting up each other

169
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 9: and feed off on each other because it gives you confidence.

170
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 6: You got Kyler Murray and the Cardinals coming into town.

171
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 6: They're two and eight, but this does not look like

172
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 6: a two and eight team with him in the offense. Now,

173
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 6: he's only played a game. They won that game last week.

174
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 6: What's the challenge that he presents for the defense as

175
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 6: a whole when you're lining up against a.

176
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 9: Guy like that, He's a guy that's elusive, dynamic player.

177
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 9: He can extend plays, and whenever you can extend plays,

178
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 9: it's very challenging on the back end because coverages.

179
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 8: Get broken down.

180
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 9: So we really have to be great at our always

181
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 9: assault the pocket, d line, any linebackers safeties that are blitzing,

182
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 9: like taking the right tracks to keep him contained. I mean,

183
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 9: if we do, then our coverage is tight. You know,

184
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 9: will be successful no matter down in distance. But get

185
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 9: a lot of respect for him as a player and.

186
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 8: What he's able to do.

187
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 9: And they got a lot of weapons on that team,

188
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 9: so we have to play sound football.

189
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 6: Yeah. One interesting weapon that you probably got to tangle

190
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 6: with the time or two is Trey McBride, the tight

191
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 6: end coming off a big, big game. How impressive is

192
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 6: He's a young guy, second year in the league.

193
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, so I didn't really realize he was just a

194
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 9: second year players.

195
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 6: That's a compliment.

196
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, And that's exactly.

197
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 9: And so as I started to watch the tape on

198
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 9: Arizona this week, I was like, Wow, this guy is

199
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 9: getting targeted a lot and tells you the team and

200
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 9: Kyler Murray or the whoever is at corback has a

201
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 9: lot of confidence at that spot or towards him. But

202
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 9: he's an athletic, big Bay guy, and he moves well.

203
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 9: He's a playmaker. So you know, if you're matched up

204
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 9: on him, like you just got to know that the ball,

205
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 9: there's a good chance the ball is coming your way,

206
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 9: and you know, own your technique because at the end

207
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 9: of the day, your technique is gonna win you the down.

208
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 6: You've been a big, big part of a very successful

209
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 6: run defense, Top ten run defense so far the season.

210
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 6: What's the test that James Connor he's better averaging better

211
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 6: than five yards of carry. What's the test he's gonna

212
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 6: bring to you, guys?

213
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 8: It's having a great year. We have a lot of

214
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 8: respect for him.

215
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 9: Talked about how you know he's a big running back

216
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 9: that seeks contact. You gotta lower your show, brads and

217
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 9: bring some power behind you. But they do a lot

218
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 9: of different things in the run game, especially with Kyler

219
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 9: Murray now back with his own Reid just kind of

220
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 9: a double threat there. You don't know if it's balls

221
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 9: me handing the runing back or the quarterbacks keeping it.

222
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 9: But it's it's really gonna just take the front seven

223
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 9: guys disrupting and pushing the line of scrimmage back, which

224
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 9: is gonna have to make a back like James conn

225
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 9: check his feet a little bit. You can't let a

226
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 9: guy like that with his size start building speeding met

227
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 9: him downhill through a big open gap Like I don't

228
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 9: care how great an attack they are, Like, it's not

229
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 9: a fun position being having to take a runover, So

230
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 9: you know, we really got to just do a good

231
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 9: job at disrupting any of their polers and the power counters.

232
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 8: And pushing the line scremers back.

233
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 6: Las. You guys are a confident defense. How does having CJ.

234
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 6: Stroud as a quarterback on the other side for the

235
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 6: offense affect that confidence that you guys have?

236
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 8: A love it? I love it.

237
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, having a quarterback playing as well

238
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 9: as plays, he's such a special player in person because

239
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 9: we know and believe and have all the conference where

240
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 9: that the offense is going to get it done. You know,

241
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 9: I think as a defense, it just opens up your

242
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 9: playbook more and I think it allows you to potentially

243
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 9: be more aggressive if you want to bring more pressures,

244
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 9: get after teams, which you know, going into a week

245
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 9: like this with a smaller quarterback, you want to get

246
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 9: you know, guys in his face so you know, you

247
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 9: can't see those windows in the passing game. So you know,

248
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 9: whenever you're having an offense that's balling quarterback, that's Scott

249
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 9: magic back there. It allows you to I think play

250
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 9: more free as a defensive player and allows you to

251
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 9: do more things.

252
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 6: All right, Let's hope the freedom and the magic continues

253
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 6: this weekend and the rest of the year. It's been

254
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 6: fun talk with you. Always enjoy talking with you, Blake

255
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 6: cash and best of luck.

256
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 8: Thank you. I appreciate it all right.

257
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 2: Great stuff they are from Blake Cashman and Demico Ryans MC.

258
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 2: Thanks to Mark and Drew for stopping but I drew

259
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: me back a little bit later with though Drew's dozen

260
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: in a couple of cutlets he's got. But as it

261
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: pertains to the game on Sunday, let's dive into the

262
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: injury report here because it's again a factor with five

263
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: players out for the Texans. Even with one of those out,

264
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: there is a little bit of good news, but out

265
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: for the Texans grayln Arnold out, Jake Hansen out, Henry

266
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 2: Toatoe out, Jimmy Ward out safety linebacker, linebacker safety against.

267
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray is no bueno.

268
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: Now it doesn't get much better with the defense because

269
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: two other players are questionable.

270
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 3: One did not participate on Friday.

271
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 2: Uh, close your ears kind of Will Anderson Junior dealing

272
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: with that knee is questionable after a DMP on Friday,

273
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: Dylan Horton was a full participant, also dealing with knee.

274
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 3: He's questionable as well. Yikes.

275
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,359
Speaker 2: Now on the offensive side a little better. I guess

276
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: Noah Brown with that knee is questionable. He has not

277
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: practiced all week. We saw Stephen Nelson, a veteran last week,

278
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: not practice all week, but then make it back now

279
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 2: Eco Collins is in, so no out Nico In. So

280
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: you've at least got your three of your top four

281
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 2: pass catchers for the last how many ever I'm sorry

282
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: four add Adulton Schultz. So you've had four of the

283
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: top five pass catchers on the roster each of the

284
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: last how many ever weeks. It just hasn't been the

285
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: same guys. And now you're not gonna have no Brown. Well, sorry,

286
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: he's questionable, so you may not have Noah Brown. The

287
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: good news, if there is any, is that Damian Pierce

288
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 2: was back at practice today on a limited capacity. He's out,

289
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 2: but at least he's back at practice, so that's a

290
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: move in the positive direction. If you will, so again,

291
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: out Grayland, Arnold j Cansen, Hery Totoa, Jimmy Ward, Damian

292
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 2: Pierce all out, questionable, Will Anderson junior, Dylan Horton, and

293
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: Noah Brown. Now on the Cardinals side, you've got four

294
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: guys out. Joey Blunt safety, I Mario Democcato from TCU,

295
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 2: the rookie running back, he's out, Jonathan Lovebetter Devens the

296
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 2: lineman out, starter, Zach Paskeal hamstring out. I don't know

297
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 2: if any of those kind of moved the needle.

298
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: I guess.

299
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: These might limited participants. Tristan Cologne, calf, DJ Humphreys ankle,

300
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: Kevin Strong knee is he Go Turner hamstring, Michael Wilson

301
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 2: the rookie dealing with a shoulder. Now, he just showed

302
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: up on the injury report with that shoulder, so that's

303
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: always something to keep an eye on.

304
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: Those five are questionable.

305
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 2: You're talking about starting inside and Terror Liman to Cologne,

306
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 2: DJ Humphries, they're starting left tackle opposite Paris Johnson junior.

307
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: And Michael Wilson has been turning heads as a rookie.

308
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: Those five are questionable. Just to kid ankle, full participant,

309
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: no status is in. So you've got five out for

310
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: the Texans, four out for the Cardinals. It's a little

311
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: bit uh probably slammed towards the Texans, but it is

312
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: what it is, So there is going to be that

313
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: transaction email on Saturday that we get that will tell

314
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: us there's gonna be some movement. I don't know about

315
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: going to IR but Texans. If Grayland Arnold is hurt,

316
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 2: Texans don't have enough safeties. I mean, they basically have

317
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 2: got Jalen Petrie and DHC. So there's got to be

318
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: something done at the safety position. What that is I

319
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: don't know, but we're going to find out, uh here,

320
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: very soon because Grayland Arnold is out with that calf

321
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: So uh boy, keep an.

322
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: Eye out for that transaction email.

323
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: Actually it'll come to you, probably something in the form

324
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: of social media of some sort. But uh yeah, another weekend.

325
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: And I actually said this the data Marcus said. The

326
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: crazy thing about what I just read to you is

327
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: we're probably as healthy as we've been in a long time,

328
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: which is crazy to think about because you guys still

329
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: got five guys out. So it should make Sunday very

330
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: very exciting, no question about that. Making Sunday exciting will

331
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: be defensive coordinator Matt Burke.

332
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: Hopefully, if the.

333
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: Defense does what he and Debeque Ryan say, maybe it

334
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: won't be as exciting, but hopefully Matt Burke will be

335
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: exciting when he comes up next and he talks some

336
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: trash about one of the biggest games of the weekend

337
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: in college football.

338
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: That's next on Texans All Access. What's Up? What's Up?

339
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: Happy Friday?

340
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 2: Everybody, Welcome back to Texans All Access. I'm your host,

341
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: John Harris, Football and sideline reporter and proud Brown University

342
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: class of nineteen ninety four alum.

343
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: Why does that matter? Well, let's get to it here.

344
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 2: Mark Vandermuer and I had a chance to catch up

345
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: with defensive coordinator Matt Burke, alum of Dartmouth, and that's

346
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: important because those two IVY League teams face off this

347
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: weekend at Brown Stadium and Provance, Rhode Island.

348
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 3: Go Bruno get the win over Darmitt.

349
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: The little trash talk here between coach and myself, but

350
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: we had plenty to talk about before we.

351
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 3: Got to that moment. Right here, Matt Burke with Mark

352
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 3: and I.

353
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: Let's go.

354
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 4: Joining us now in the Hyundai Texans Radio studio. It's

355
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator Matt Burke, coach, how's it going today?

356
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 10: Going great? How are you guys?

357
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 4: We're doing great? Looking forward to the matchup with Arizona.

358
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 4: So let's talk about the elephant in the room. He's

359
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 4: not exactly the size of an elephant Kyler Murray. When

360
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 4: you think of the Cardinals, you think of him coach.

361
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 4: So what kinds of challenges does he bring to you?

362
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, obviously dynamic athlete at that position. You know, obviously

363
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 11: got to go against him last year for a whole

364
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 11: year and see see how he operated. So just the

365
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 11: sort of secondary plays plays off schedule, moving around, scrambling

366
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 11: for first down, scrambling to throw. It's a big challenge,

367
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 11: big challenge for us.

368
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: There's something that you can prepare for coaching, and there's

369
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: some of it that you probably can't.

370
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: So how do you kind of go about that.

371
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: And even replicating it in practice what he's able to

372
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: do off schedule?

373
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: How do you kind of even go about that aspect?

374
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 11: Yeah, because I mean literally you're talking about unscripted plays,

375
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 11: right and stuff, So you can't you never know how

376
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 11: he's going to escape and spend one way versus another,

377
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 11: So you just sort of try to, you know, institute

378
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 11: your rules of Hey, when he gets out of the

379
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 11: pocket or when he starts buying time moving around, how

380
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 11: are we handling that, Who's who's responsible for him, who's

381
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 11: responsible for the coverage element, and how you balance that

382
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 11: that stuff. So again, there's going to be the specific

383
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 11: way it happens on Sunday.

384
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 10: It's you know, you can't really like plan for that.

385
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 11: So it's more of just what are our rules when

386
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 11: this starts happening, and how do we how do we

387
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 11: try to keep.

388
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 10: It from happening. You know, obviously first and.

389
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: Foremost when you were there, what was he like in practice?

390
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 4: How much improvisation would he do within the framework of

391
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 4: the offense or getting out of it to try to

392
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 4: make plays against the look team?

393
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, a little bit. I think it was a little

394
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 11: bit more. You know, in practice you try to sort

395
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 11: of practice the perfect play. It's essentially like, hey, okay,

396
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 11: this is where we want the ball to go or

397
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 11: to throw to go. It was so natural for him

398
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 11: to be moving and get out of the pocket that

399
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 11: he didn't have to practice that a lot, you know

400
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 11: what I mean, Like you see just when in the moment,

401
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 11: he's just pretty dynamic, and so we didn't necessary practice

402
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 11: that a lot. I mean, there's always like a hey,

403
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 11: let's build one into practice. So the receivers get used

404
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 11: to scramble, drill and where they're going off their route concepts,

405
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 11: those sort of things. But I think he's just pretty

406
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 11: natural at feeling those moments and where to get out

407
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 11: and how to get out and how to make those plays.

408
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: Coach, what do you see from Jonathan Garnard?

409
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 2: He picked up in our sack the other day and

410
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: so you know, numbers wise, okay, whatever, but just the play.

411
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: You've seen from Jonathan Gernard in particular.

412
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: You know, he's been here, he's been through a lot

413
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: of different defense coordinators, a lot of different defensive line

414
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 2: coaches along the way, and yet he feels like he's

415
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: gotten better each and every week.

416
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: But what have you seen from him thus far this year?

417
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, I would say that, I know, I do feel

418
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 11: he's gotten kind of getting better every week, and he's

419
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 11: growing in the style we're asking him to play.

420
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 10: I think I've said this before.

421
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, he's got really long arms for

422
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 11: not like a super super tall guy, He's got really

423
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 11: long arms, and I feel like he's really utilizing that

424
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 11: length to his advantage. So, I mean that's been sort

425
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 11: of something we've preached with him of like, man, those

426
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 11: are weapons for you like use them. So he's really

427
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 11: developed his sort of rush package with being able to

428
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 11: use his length and separate off blocks.

429
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 10: So the finishing, I mean, you know, you kind of

430
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 10: poop who the stats.

431
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 11: The numbers, but like I think that's a you know,

432
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 11: an offshoot of what he's doing. He's able to get

433
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 11: separation so you can finish more at the point of attack.

434
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 8: You know.

435
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 10: The thing with Jags, he's been you know, healthy issue.

436
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 11: I mean, I know that's been an issue in his past,

437
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 11: and he's really shown to me that he's a he's

438
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 11: a physical player and he's willing to grind through it

439
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 11: and he's got some ruggedness to him.

440
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 10: So I mean he stayed healthy. He's trying to have

441
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 10: a rush plan.

442
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 11: He's using his length and some of his skill set

443
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 11: to his advantage, and I think that's kind of all

444
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,479
Speaker 11: showing up in his numbers.

445
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 4: How about the player're getting up the middle along the line,

446
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 4: because Sheldon comes up with three sacks, Moleak is Moleik.

447
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: When Hassad was in there, you had some good production

448
00:19:59,040 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: from him.

449
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 4: What about those guys and how important is that to

450
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 4: disrupting an offense?

451
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 8: Yeah?

452
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: Huge?

453
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 11: I mean we always said, like, the most direct path

454
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 11: to the quarterback is from the inside right, And obviously

455
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 11: you know a lot of teams are structured to sort

456
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 11: of build that pocket for a quarterback, and everyone sees

457
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 11: the edge rushers, but the more you can get interior push,

458
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 11: whether it's being production like Malik had a couple side

459
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 11: game a few weeks ago, and obviously Rank had a

460
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 11: huge game last week. But not only that, like talking

461
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 11: about someone like Kyler, where you can close off some

462
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 11: of those step up lanes and now your ends come

463
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 11: more into play.

464
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 10: You know what I mean.

465
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 11: If you have your ends rushing and there's no push

466
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 11: in the middle, there's some separation there, then it's not

467
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 11: all working together. So having those two guys and all

468
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 11: the guys we've plugged in there be able to kind

469
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 11: of create pressure, create sacks, create push and the inside

470
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 11: part of the pocket. That's the easiest way to start

471
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 11: disrupting a QB.

472
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: Because one of the guys we did mention for the Cardinals,

473
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: Marquise Brown Hollywood, got some speed, So I want to

474
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: flip it over to the corners. Last week, you have

475
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: kind of a three corner rotation with staying with Steven

476
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 2: Nelson in with Shaq Griffin, how did that kind of

477
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 2: work for you against the Bengals because I know going

478
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: in you probably didn't have Steven I think for probably

479
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 2: any of practice last week. Stat's coming back off the injury,

480
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 2: and you know Shaq has played. So how did that

481
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 2: kind of three corner rotation help you? And how do

482
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: you think that will help you against a guy like

483
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 2: him in particular?

484
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think again, we're always trying to deploy those

485
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 11: guys in the best way possible, and with you know,

486
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 11: Nelly missing a lot of practice last week, Sting coming back, like,

487
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 11: we didn't want to put a full burden on either

488
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 11: of those guys, and obviously then having Shaq, who's played

489
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 11: a lot of football for us and done a good job.

490
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 10: So really trying to just keep those.

491
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 11: Guys fresh and and and again especially with two guys

492
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 11: a little bit uncertainty of how much they could take

493
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 11: or where their capacity was.

494
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 10: But you know, I think same thing.

495
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 11: I mean this week, anytime you can kind of keep

496
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 11: guys throwing their fastballs and keep guys fresh and loose

497
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 11: and playing fast like, that's going to be a being

498
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 11: you know, advantage for so I would just as a

499
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 11: just non asked, like, I would just give a lot

500
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 11: of credit to the all the position coaches last week, man,

501
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 11: like even you know, the linebackers. We were rolling guys

502
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 11: through D line and like we had nine guys up

503
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 11: trying to get all those guys work. I mean, obviously

504
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 11: the corner rotation getting DHD rate to play. I think

505
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 11: the coaches did a really good job last week kind

506
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 11: of having that rotation down, planning those guys out and

507
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 11: really doing a good job.

508
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 10: In a game.

509
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 4: Well along those lines with the players, and we see

510
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 4: this both sides of the ball, but with the defense.

511
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 4: There's a togetherness here. There's something about this because every

512
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 4: time somebody goes out, another guy comes in. It just

513
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 4: happens position groups all over the team, it seems, so

514
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 4: what about that part of it?

515
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: Coach? What makes this team so together?

516
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 11: I know, I see everything starts as meek, and I

517
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 11: think just what he's preached as a as a team

518
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 11: and team first and all that sort of messaging. And

519
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 11: again not the coaches, I mean, I think, you know,

520
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 11: we just don't bat an eye like you don't have time.

521
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 11: It's NFL, you don't have time to bemoan. Oh this

522
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 11: guy got hurt on.

523
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 10: I don't. I wish I had this, Like that's not

524
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 10: how it works, man cares.

525
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 11: So I think, like, you know, our approach is like, okay,

526
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 11: what do we have to do this next one?

527
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 10: A right? Who's available? How do we use them?

528
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 11: Like we have three corners, Like how do we deploy

529
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 11: those guys best? Hey, what's our linebacker matchups that we

530
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 11: like this week? All those things? Like I think the

531
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 11: players start to feed off that again, starting with how

532
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 11: you know Demico structures things.

533
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 10: But just like that's just the approach.

534
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 11: I know it's cliche, the sort of next man up thing,

535
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 11: but that's kind of how we operate, and I feel

536
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 11: like the players just buy in, Like, man, we don't

537
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 11: blame that guy's prepared and ready to play and whatever

538
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 11: role he's asked to.

539
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 2: Play, could you mention him? So I want to. I

540
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: want to discuss him a little bit. And that's DeAndre Houston.

541
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 2: Carson years here for a few weeks, He's not here

542
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: for a few weeks. Then he's got to step into

543
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 2: a game against Tampa Bay where I mean bow safeties

544
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 2: go down in front of him, like holy cow.

545
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: He's been back for maybe all what four days?

546
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 2: But then he's ready for the Bengals, and he makes

547
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 2: that touchdown saving tackle at the end he has to pick.

548
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: He has seven tackles.

549
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 2: What are you seeing in his play in the fact

550
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: that Jimmy, MJ and Eric aren't able to go, but

551
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 2: he's able to step in there and make make.

552
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 10: Plays for you.

553
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I think even his sort of first

554
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 11: stint here with us, just a true professional. And I

555
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 11: think the reason that he had success on Sunday was

556
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 11: he was just always in the right position, ye like,

557
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 11: and he's really sharp like practices with intent, like studies learned.

558
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 11: So on Sunday he was never out of position and

559
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 11: that and so then you make the plays that come

560
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 11: to you. So he's in position when the ball gets

561
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 11: a little bit overthrown to intercept that uh, he sees

562
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 11: the long one break out, he puts his head down

563
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 11: and runs.

564
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 10: And that's how he practiced. He finishes at the ball.

565
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 11: I he practice, so he says, I'm gonna go finish

566
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 11: the ball, gets that guy down at the seven yard

567
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 11: line to help us, you know, the tackles he's in.

568
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 10: The fit, you know.

569
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 11: So I think just just his approach as a professional,

570
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 11: veteran guy like He's just such a steady dude. He

571
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 11: always was in the right place at the right time.

572
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 4: All Right, I have a very important question now because

573
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 4: not Dartmouth and Brown are playing this week. Oh let's go,

574
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 4: and we've got a lumps of each school, Johnny from

575
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 4: Brown and coach from Dartmouth.

576
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: So what's gonna happen here on Saturday? Dartmouth will lose.

577
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 11: No, I know this, if we need it, we need

578
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 11: some help. We need we need I never thought I'd

579
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 11: say this. We need Yale to beat to beat Harvard.

580
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 11: But wow, if Dartmouth wins and Yale wins and we

581
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 11: we steal a piece of the title here. So we're

582
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 11: going and we're going big Green in a in a

583
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 11: in a runaway.

584
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 2: Our buddy James Perry will get this done for Brown

585
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 2: will finish with a solid regular season, a winning regular

586
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: season for the first time in a while. But we

587
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 2: do have to beat the me and Green. So this

588
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 2: is an odd year. So I think odd years. That

589
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: means we're up in Hannover.

590
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 11: Browns hoping to just have a winning season. We're talking

591
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 11: about titles, all talk.

592
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 4: About Ivy League title here, baby steps, coach, Baby steps,

593
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 4: We've been down in the muck a little bit.

594
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: We got we gotta get out of it so they win. Listen,

595
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 2: we beat Princeton already this year. We beat Penn already

596
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 2: this year.

597
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: They're named the Quakers, aren't they Pacifists? I don't know

598
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: how this works. Okay, I gotta ask you this.

599
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 2: Wait before we go, fellow Ivy leaguer, who do you

600
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 2: hate more Yale or Harvard?

601
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 11: Because every every sports, it's sports sports. When I was there, uh,

602
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 11: Princeton was kind of our rival. Yeah, yeah, when I played,

603
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 11: they were always our last game. So we always finish

604
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 11: with them. And at the time they were, we were

605
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 11: good and they were good. Like when I was there, Uh, Penn,

606
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 11: Princeton and Dartmouth were kind of the three yep that

607
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 11: were kind of having success. And you know, when Murph

608
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 11: got to Harvard, he kind of turned that around there

609
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 11: and tough too, so like for me, like Princeton was

610
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 11: always kind of we always finished with them, and it

611
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 11: was always a big game, like title implications, five of

612
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 11: those type of things.

613
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 10: So that was kind of around.

614
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 11: I coached at Harvard, so I got I got a

615
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 11: little soft spot for Harvard.

616
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: God, now I know this, oh Man meant they were

617
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 2: the worst.

618
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: They were the worst.

619
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 2: They would run through our warm up drills and I

620
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 2: was like, okay, senior year, if they do that again,

621
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna We're gonna go, We're gonna dance.

622
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: And then they were already down on their side of

623
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: the field.

624
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: So either way, everybody's got that IVY League team. If

625
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 2: they're in the IVY they hate.

626
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 10: I'll tell you, I'll tell you I get Princeton.

627
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:44,959
Speaker 1: Though understand, I'll tell you who.

628
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 10: I never gave any consideration to his Brown.

629
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 4: We never Yeah, we never worried about enough to of course,

630
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 4: years of struggle.

631
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: Coach like a lot of good luck.

632
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 10: I appreciate it, guys.

633
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 2: Coach having some fun at my expense, But that's okay.

634
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: Both teams five and four. Brown cannot win the league

635
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 2: or tie for the league. Dartmouth can. But if Brown

636
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 2: ends up with a win, I'll be six and four,

637
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 2: first time winning record in.

638
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 3: A while, in a while. So James Ferry has done

639
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 3: some good. Thanks Dark Brown.

640
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 2: So proud of him from a long ways away and

641
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: would love to have bragening rights on Sunday for when

642
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: I see coach Burke after the Texans get this win.

643
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: Against the Cardinals. Speaking to the Cardinals, Ed Smith from

644
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 2: the Belief Network knows about the Cardinals. He will join

645
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,959
Speaker 2: us next right here on Texans All Access. Start right

646
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 2: back into the show, a tgif F edition of Texans

647
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 2: All Access from the Nonde Texans Radio studio with Ed

648
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: Smith of the Belief Network. He covers the Cardinals, knows

649
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 2: them extremely well. He is the brother of IRV Smith,

650
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 2: who is the father of Arthsmith Junior, who the Texans

651
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 2: played last week with the Bengals. Here's Ed Smith along

652
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 2: with Drew Doherty. He goes behind enemy sidelines.

653
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 6: This is a real treat. We've got Ed Smith going

654
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 6: behind enemy sidelines for us. We're gonna talk all about

655
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 6: the Arizona Cardinals. And of course you played in the

656
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 6: NFL the XFL as well offensive I'm in you did

657
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 6: some big things. And what do you think about this

658
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 6: Arizona Cardinals team and the calculus how it's changed with

659
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 6: Kyler Murray's return. It's not to win team really when

660
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 6: you look at it that way, right.

661
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, And you know it comes at the strange time. Obviously,

662
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 12: it's been kind of an up and down season, you know,

663
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 12: one to eight before Kyler steps in last week, and

664
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 12: it's a weird deal, Drew, where we want to see improvement,

665
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 12: but at the same time, we don't want to see improvement,

666
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 12: you know, for next year, and you know, all of

667
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 12: a sudden, all the you know, the calculus is happening

668
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 12: with this draft spot that's going to be fluctuating. And

669
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 12: then the ironic thing about this game obviously is, you know,

670
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 12: we have one of your picks for next year, for

671
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 12: next season, and we went into the season things that

672
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 12: I'm thinking that was going to be a very high pick,

673
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 12: and obviously, with the success of the Texans, that pick

674
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 12: has gone from uh, you know, in a lottery portion

675
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 12: to right now currently at the twenty spot.

676
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 7: So there's so.

677
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 12: Many different things going on with this game. And you know,

678
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 12: we got Kyler coming off the injury. You know, we

679
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 12: want to protect him, but we also want to see

680
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 12: what he can do. And and you know, the I

681
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 12: guess he's kind of auditioning for the you know, GM

682
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 12: and and Gannon to see what they're going to do

683
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 12: moving forward next year, and you're going to all the

684
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 12: speculation about what they might do if the pick is

685
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 12: high enough. So just so many different things going on.

686
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 12: Great see him back in the lineup, and he did.

687
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 12: It didn't look like there was a whole lot of

688
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 12: rust on him. So it'll be interesting to see how

689
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 12: this second game on the road against the team that

690
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 12: is up and coming. You know, you being the Texan,

691
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 12: so we're excited about the direction, but we're also confused

692
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 12: at the same time.

693
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, you bring up an excellent point, and I want

694
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 6: to dig into Kyler Murray as a quarterback in just

695
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 6: a moment, But let me throw this little knuckleball in

696
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 6: there as well to all the stuff you brought up.

697
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 6: So Texans and Cardinals make that trade on Draft night,

698
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 6: Houston moves up to take will Anderson, very excited about

699
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 6: what they got with him, and then the news breaks

700
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 6: we're doing this on a Wednesday morning. The news breaks

701
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 6: a few hours ago that Deshaun Watson's not going to

702
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 6: play the rest of the year for the Cleveland Browns.

703
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 6: So Houston, you know, right after the trade was made,

704
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 6: internally they were thinking and saying, well, we think we're

705
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 6: going to be better than the Browns, and that wasn't

706
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 6: the case and is not the case yet record wise,

707
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,239
Speaker 6: but it looks like that could change now. So that

708
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 6: kind of adds another little wrinkle to everything going on.

709
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 6: And it's weird how the NFL seems to make these

710
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 6: storylines marry together. It's like a script. You know. They

711
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 6: make that joke last year about the script being written.

712
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 6: But anyhow, what do you think about Kyler Murray? Who

713
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 6: is Kyler Murray? Can you tell truly after one game?

714
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 6: Is he the same guy before? Is he a little different?

715
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 6: Is this offense better suited with him or for him?

716
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 6: I mean, what do you think one game in? Is

717
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 6: it too too much to say or.

718
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 12: Way too early?

719
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 10: You know?

720
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 12: And as I mentioned, you know, it is a little

721
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 12: bit of an audition for him. You know, he so

722
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 12: far the organization, meaning you know, general manager Ganning Petsing,

723
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 12: all of our personnel, they've been saying all the right things.

724
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 12: You know, Court Curry's gonna college, has done everything we've

725
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 12: expected on of them, and you know, he's our guy

726
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 12: moving forward. And you say to yourself, well, what are

727
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 12: they supposed to say? You know, well, you know, we're

728
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 12: not really sure and we're gonna see how he plays

729
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 12: and depending on that, you know, we might go out

730
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 12: and get a quarterback next year. They can't say that, so,

731
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 12: you know, and realistically, and I'm I've been kind of

732
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 12: putting it out there, Drew. I think because our roster

733
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 12: is so bad, because we really don't have much to

734
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 12: play for currently at two and eight, this isn't a

735
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 12: playoff team, you know, any by any stretch of it,

736
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 12: of the imagination. You also worry about further injury. You know,

737
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 12: we all know coming you know, for former athletes, we

738
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 12: know coming off an injury of that magnitude, you're never

739
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 12: really good until, you know, like meaning one hundred percent

740
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 12: your mind and body till the following year. So you

741
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 12: know there's a little precaution that might be taking, you know,

742
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 12: because you don't want to re injury. At the same time,

743
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 12: there's the salary hanging over your head, meaning you know,

744
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 12: our front office and we all know every organization would

745
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 12: love to have that quarterback on the rookie deal, you know,

746
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 12: that way you can maneuver a little more the priority.

747
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 12: And they gave Murray the bag early, so he does

748
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 12: have that salary that goes along with everything. And then

749
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 12: you know some might not be sold on his stature

750
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 12: meaning you know he is a shorter quarterback moving forward,

751
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 12: Does he work perfectly in petting and Ganning's you know,

752
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 12: you know, ideal moving you know forward, So we don't

753
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 12: know any of these things. He did look very good

754
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 12: the other day, but he was scrambling. You know, you

755
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 12: have a good offensive line in front of him. We

756
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 12: you know, Connor, thank goodness, got back in there. But

757
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 12: we don't have any what I would call major weapons

758
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 12: on the outside. So he's going to be running for

759
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 12: his life a little bit. And my theory is they're

760
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 12: gonna put him out there maybe three games maybe four,

761
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 12: to show everybody what he can do. And if he

762
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,239
Speaker 12: looks really good, then you know, we now put him

763
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 12: back on his shelf, and their excuse will probably be, well,

764
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 12: you know, we don't really have much to play for it.

765
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 12: We just wanted to see he looks great, and we

766
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 12: don't want to risk anything moving forward. So he's our guy.

767
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 6: And risk that's a risky proposition though as far as

768
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 6: what it says the fan base and everything, you know,

769
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 6: like you could see that going down.

770
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 12: Huh yeah. Me personally, I don't know if you want

771
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 12: to risk him out there for you know, seven eight

772
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 12: games moving forward, and then you know, like obviously with

773
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 12: nothing to play for, and then like I said, if

774
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 12: he really looks really good. Now you have the I

775
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 12: guess the bird back in your hand, you know he's

776
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 12: the chip, and if you want to move off of him,

777
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 12: he looks that much more traffic attractive to other teams.

778
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 12: But also if he does look spectacular and you now

779
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,479
Speaker 12: think he's the guy, now you know, hopefully you can

780
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 12: put him on hisself. And we don't want to use

781
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 12: the T word, but maybe you get you can use

782
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 12: the excuse that you want to get Clayton tune some

783
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 12: look just and you lose a few and you retain

784
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 12: that higher draft pick, so you can then start building

785
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 12: around Murray. If that's the most you know, there's so

786
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 12: many that we don't know, and it's all speculation. I

787
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 12: think over the next few weeks we'll see what the

788
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 12: what the card looks like, how they're going to play it.

789
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 12: But anybody who tells you they know, we don't know.

790
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 12: But I said the good in cursing point. In cursing

791
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 12: point is Murray did look pretty good the other day.

792
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 6: He sure did sug with former NFL tight end Ed

793
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 6: Smith and ed you just mentioned Connor and has he

794
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 6: gotten the ball enough because I know he was out

795
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 6: for a month, but goodness, gracious, he's averaging five point

796
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 6: to a carry. Can they feed him more? Should they

797
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 6: feed him more? What have you thought of what you

798
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 6: seen from him?

799
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 12: They should? I mean he you know, running game is

800
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 12: the kind of the security blank for any quarterback, along

801
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 12: with a good tight end and weapons on the outside

802
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 12: which you know you stack them in terms of order.

803
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 12: You know Connor's had, you know, with being dinged up,

804
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 12: it just kind of coincided with you know, the returner Murray,

805
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 12: you know you saw with a backup quarterback and Joshua Dobbinson,

806
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 12: in my opinion, did a fantastic job while I was here,

807
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 12: but he's limited in his talent, so you know, it

808
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 12: was just it's just been a mix of nothing has

809
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 12: really looked like it should because it isn't supposed to,

810
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 12: you know, backup quarterback. They stripped the roster down. You

811
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 12: got Connor here, but you don't have a great offense

812
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 12: line in front of him. So you know, Connor, they

813
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 12: should be getting everything they can out of him, and

814
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 12: I think moving forward they will because I don't think

815
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 12: they want to put Murray, you know, out there throwing

816
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 12: the ball forty forty five times anything like that. So

817
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 12: how do you combat that you run the ball. You know,

818
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 12: you maybe try some things with Murray that we didn't

819
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 12: see in the previous regime. Murray does not like being

820
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 12: under center. I think putting him under center will be

821
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 12: a big test, and it also I think utilizes Connor

822
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 12: the best. He's not in my opinion, I don't think

823
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 12: he's great when you're doing that Reid ops and stuff.

824
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 12: I think get him seven yards deep, quarterback under center, downhill.

825
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 12: So these are all the things they might want to see,

826
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 12: and now's the time to experiment with it because this

827
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 12: season at two and eight, you know it is what

828
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 12: it is.

829
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, you bring up all those variables there, how tricky

830
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 6: do you think that makes things for the Texans defense

831
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 6: in that regard? Because Tamiko Ryans has been the defensive

832
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 6: coordinator in San Francisco, he's familiar with Kyler Murray. Now

833
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 6: it's a different offense, not the Cliff Kingsbury air raid,

834
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 6: but he's seen who Kyler Murray can be.

835
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 12: It is, yeah, and Kyler is very dynamic under any situation.

836
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 6: We know this here in Texas. I mean, you've got

837
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 6: to come up with a really strong argument to say

838
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 6: that anybody in the history. But I'm talking like the

839
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 6: last one hundred and fifty years history of the high

840
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 6: school has been better than Kyler Murray. Now, listen, we're

841
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 6: talking about the NFL, but we know who Kyler Murray is.

842
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 6: Even though he's a kind of a Dallas area guy.

843
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 6: We're down here in Houston, so yeah, got to respect it.

844
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, no, And you know, you see the talent, You

845
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 12: see what he can. He does things like you mentioned

846
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 12: Drew that will make you scratch your head, like, how

847
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 12: the heck could he just do that? Yeah, you know,

848
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 12: there are other parts of his game that he needs

849
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 12: to improve on, but never has anybody second guess when

850
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 12: he's when he has a ball in his hand and

851
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 12: he throws such a pretty ball as well. You know,

852
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 12: the difficulty with Murray is because of his size at

853
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 12: this level. You know, sometimes you got to create windows

854
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 12: for him, and he can do that with his legs,

855
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 12: but it does create a different offense versus someone who

856
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 12: you can put under center just drop straight back with Reeds.

857
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 12: You know, you got to be a little more creative

858
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 12: with him, But because of the talent, you just can't

859
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 12: deny it. And then you add you know the fact

860
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 12: that you know Connor's back. You know, that'll be an

861
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 12: issue for Demico demarc in the defense. And then we've

862
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 12: seen an emergence a little bit of our tight end

863
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 12: Trey McBride. Yeah, these are future weapons that you know,

864
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 12: they can get a look at and will be a

865
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 12: problem moving forward for anybody who plays the Cardinals as

866
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 12: long as Murray's is, you know, playing quarterback. But you know,

867
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 12: we got we're optimistic here because it has looked so

868
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 12: bad and the circumstances, we were just holding our breath

869
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 12: across you know, like a crossing our fingers because we

870
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 12: just weren't sure how he was going to look coming back.

871
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 12: But I said, very, very good first look at him,

872
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 12: and he'll as as long as he's in his lineup,

873
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 12: he'll be an issue for anybody who's preparing for the

874
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 12: Cardinals and especially those teams are looking to try to,

875
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 12: you know, get into the playoffs.

876
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 6: For Yeah, yeah, you just said McBride, And I'm glad

877
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 6: you brought him up because when I saw that we

878
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 6: were going to get to talk with you, I got excited.

879
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 6: You know, the tight end position you played it in

880
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 6: the NFL, your brother earth Smith, excellent tight end. Your

881
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 6: nephew now earth Smith Junior. Excellent. I mean it's in

882
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 6: the family. And I jokingly referred to you as an

883
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 6: offense a lineman earlier in this podcast because a former

884
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 6: Cardinals tight end named Darren Fels who played here with

885
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 6: the Texans. He used to joke and call himself a

886
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 6: right right tackle, but now he wound up catching about

887
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 6: nine touchdown passes one of the seasons he was with us.

888
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 6: But you've seen a lot of good tight ends in

889
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 6: your day, McBride. You said, emerging, who's he remind you of?

890
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 6: How good can he be? How good is he? Right now?

891
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 6: He had the highest PFF rating for any player, not offense,

892
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 6: not to any player last weekend after after what he did.

893
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, I say emerging because he was obviously

894
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 12: he's been in the shadow of Artz Sure zach Ert,

895
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 12: you know, and he goes down and you know, and

896
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 12: as I mentioned, this isn't a season where we're you know,

897
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 12: like planning on stacking a bunch of wins. But it's

898
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 12: a great opportunity for some of these players to kind

899
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 12: of take that take advantage of the time they're getting.

900
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 12: I mean, Bridan is one of those guys. He's kind

901
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 12: of showing you know that you know, he doesn't necessarily

902
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 12: have to be the focal point of the offense, but

903
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 12: as a weapon out there, you put other things around him.

904
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 12: You know, we lack on the outside in our wide

905
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 12: receiver room. Obviously we got rid of Hopkins last year.

906
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 12: You know, the history has been we've always had at

907
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 12: least one great wide receiver here. We just don't have

908
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 12: that right now. That might be part of the plan

909
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 12: moving forward though, But in the meantime McBride has showed,

910
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 12: you know, he's a good blocker, decent blocker. That's one

911
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 12: of the toughest parts of being a tight end is

912
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 12: learning the you know, the blocking responsibilities and everything that

913
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 12: comes with, you know, being that Swiss Army knife at

914
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 12: this level. But he's figuring that part out. And then

915
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 12: in the meantime, you know, he had the eight catches

916
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 12: for one hundred and thirty one yards last week. That

917
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 12: is huge for him and that'll be huge for our quarterback,

918
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 12: you know, in this system, and I'm sure petsying in

919
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 12: the group they were just they couldn't be happier at

920
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 12: getting him an opportunity to see the field and then

921
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 12: what he can mean for this team moving forward. We

922
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 12: all know that I said where we're at right now

923
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 12: is hopefully not where we're going to be in two

924
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 12: three four years. And seeing this early part of what

925
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 12: he can do, it has to be exciting for.

926
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 6: That offense, no doubt. I mean, that was a monster

927
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 6: performance by him last weekend. So it's somebody that he's

928
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 6: clearly going to be a building block, no matter who

929
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 6: the quarterback is, no matter what else is around him,

930
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 6: he's somebody you can rely on and probably do some

931
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,919
Speaker 6: really good things with him. All right, let's switch over

932
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 6: to the defensive side of the ball. How leaky a

933
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 6: unit is this? Because the Texans offensively, they're starting to roll.

934
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 6: You know, they got a run game going last weekend,

935
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 6: which they've not had at all this year. They had

936
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty yards from Devin Singletary, first time

937
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 6: since November of last year. They had to back get

938
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 6: one hundred yards and he's somebody who can catch the

939
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 6: ball out of the backfield too. What it really did

940
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 6: c J. Stroup talked about it. It opened things up

941
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 6: play action wise. So they get a guy who carries

942
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 6: thirty times, cracks one hundred and fifty, but they still

943
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 6: had nine excuse me, eight passes of twenty yards or longer.

944
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 6: What do you see defensively from the Cardinals? That might

945
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 6: be a good matchup against the Texans and might you know,

946
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 6: kind of be a dark cloud on the other side.

947
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 8: Of the ball.

948
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 12: Everything you mentioned, Drew is like, wow, now we have

949
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 12: to deal with that too. And the problem for the

950
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 12: Cardinals defensively end as a team as a whole, is

951
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 12: that because they stripped the roster down, didn't sign any

952
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 12: of our free agents, went out and got a lot

953
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 12: of you know, not suspect but second tier talent, put

954
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 12: them on short term deals. We don't have a superstar

955
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 12: edge rusher, We don't have, you know, any big bodies

956
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 12: up front to really stop the run, and then you

957
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 12: don't have much in your secondary as far as your cornerbacks.

958
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 12: You know, we're young and they experienced.

959
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 13: There.

960
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 12: The only shining light in my opinion on the defensive

961
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 12: side of the ball as Buddha Baker. But he's at

962
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 12: the tail end of your you know defense. So what

963
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 12: does that mean. It means we have trouble stopping to run,

964
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 12: We have trouble putting pressure on a quarterback, and we

965
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 12: also have trouble covering in the secondary. So with all

966
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 12: those things, it spells bad formula. You know, if you

967
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 12: sit back and take your thousand lasses, you know, because

968
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 12: you know, we allow the running game to eat us up.

969
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 12: Or if you take risks and throw extra you know

970
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 12: at the quarterback trying to put pressure, that opens up

971
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 12: holes in the secondary. The one thing I will say

972
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 12: is horses, our defense can be at times and what

973
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 12: happens here to do you a lot of times it

974
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 12: seems like we have a great defensive plan to start out,

975
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,399
Speaker 12: but by the second part of the game things are

976
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 12: figured out a little bit. We don't have those horses

977
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 12: that can stand up and you know, and they tend

978
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 12: to get almost like see looks like they get tired

979
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 12: in the second half and get exposed. But with all

980
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 12: that being said, they this is a team as a whole,

981
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 12: including the defensive side of the ball, that does not

982
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 12: give up. They still continue to fight. So they can

983
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 12: give you problems if you allow us to stay in

984
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 12: the games. We also we obviously saw with Murray now

985
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 12: that as an extra course, you know, part of what

986
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 12: you'll have to defend on the other side of the ball.

987
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 12: But you know, this is all a work in progress. Defensively,

988
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 12: you know, there's not much that to scare anybody as

989
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 12: far as well, we got to make sure he doesn't

990
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 12: wreck our this part of our game plan. But you know,

991
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 12: for for the most part, this defense will at least

992
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 12: fight you, and they'll give you everything they've got. This

993
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,720
Speaker 12: is we don't have a whole lot, you know, before

994
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 12: you can say, well, you got to make sure you

995
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 12: stop JJ, or you got to stop Chandler Jones or

996
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 12: now there's not really that guy we have to make,

997
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 12: you know, contain. It's just you know, as a unit,

998
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 12: they'll get out there and no fight. But it's it's

999
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 12: how much they can give you when we're lacking that

1000
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 12: much in talent. That's the issue.

1001
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 6: Nine games, ten games in. What's your read on your head? Coach?

1002
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 6: He was somebody that's he's been in the news cycle

1003
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 6: each of the last two off seasons and then gets

1004
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 6: the job out there.

1005
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: What do you think?

1006
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 6: What are you seeing from him? What do you see

1007
00:44:59,480 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 6: for the future.

1008
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 12: I like Gannett. I like the fact that he came

1009
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 12: in here and it wasn't the same old you know,

1010
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,439
Speaker 12: same old. I mean, you know, he tried a couple

1011
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 12: of times with the speeches and stuff like that, and

1012
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 12: sometimes you look and like that's not his strength, you know,

1013
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,919
Speaker 12: the rah rah and you know it's not his thing.

1014
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 12: But what he does, you know, he set a standard

1015
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 12: in terms of we're gonna make some changes around here,

1016
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 12: how we do our business, the type of players we

1017
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 12: want in here. And that's what I've been impressed with.

1018
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 12: And the fact that, as I mentioned just the menu ago,

1019
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 12: they will fight you to the last whistle. Now wat

1020
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 12: so we're swinging with with football bats right now. We

1021
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 12: don't have those aluminum bats to get at you. But

1022
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 12: you will see this team will continue to fight. And

1023
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,760
Speaker 12: that's a good sign because I said at the beginning

1024
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 12: of the year it's not gonna be about the winds

1025
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 12: and lost his totals, especially because we didn't know when

1026
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 12: Kyler was coming back and what our quarterback situation was.

1027
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 12: What I was looking for is how these guys either

1028
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 12: win or lose. What they look like rather than the

1029
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 12: final score, meaning are they're out there and they're fighting

1030
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,399
Speaker 12: to the last whistle or do you see guys out

1031
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 12: there giving up or freelancing. It looks like every player

1032
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 12: you know, and he started off with you know in

1033
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 12: training camp. There was new rules, you know, no eating

1034
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 12: in meetings, you got to be there on time, you know,

1035
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 12: holding everybody to a standard, which I'm you know, I'm

1036
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 12: sure you're seeing a difference over there with you know,

1037
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 12: your head coach, and that means a lot, you know,

1038
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 12: and then the wins and everything will come later. It's

1039
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 12: how everybody's handling their business when they're going through these

1040
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 12: rough beginnings is what I was looking for. And I'm

1041
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 12: actually impressed with what Gain has done so far, and

1042
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 12: I think the future looks bright. You give him some talent,

1043
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 12: and you know, it seems like he's got a good

1044
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 12: coaching staff in place. They will all figure it out eventually,

1045
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 12: and they'll get out of this conservative mode they're in

1046
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,479
Speaker 12: a little bit, you know, because you know, we tend

1047
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 12: to try to keep everything in front of us and

1048
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 12: not get too fatty. At some point you got to

1049
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 12: open things up, and I think with Kyler coming back

1050
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 12: that will help us, especially offensively. But I do like

1051
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,439
Speaker 12: what I've seen from getting to this point.

1052
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 1: Great stuff there from Ed Smith and of course Drew Dorty.

1053
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: Drew's gonna stay with.

1054
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 2: Us in the next segment because he's got a couple

1055
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 2: of cutlets, and he's got a Drews dozen with Blake Cashman.

1056
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 2: That is always fun stuff. We'll have that for you

1057
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 2: on the other side. Also got my pick some predictions

1058
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 2: coming up. Plus we're from Demico Ryans on the Coaches Show,

1059
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 2: which was tremendous stuff talking about the Cardinals and everything

1060
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,479
Speaker 2: going on with this football team. That's all the next

1061
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 2: hour right here on Texans All Access.

1062
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: We got one hour down. When are left to go?

1063
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 2: Right here on a Friday issue of Texans All Axis.

1064
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 2: I'm your host, John Harris Football and all the sideline

1065
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 2: reporter for your Houston Texans. It's time to catch it

1066
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 2: with Drew Doherty. He's got a Drews dozen and then

1067
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 2: he's got Devin Singletary and he's got Jalen Patriots do

1068
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 2: one at a time.

1069
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,479
Speaker 1: Let's get to cash give a little Drews dozen.

1070
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 3: This should be interesting.

1071
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,399
Speaker 6: Linebacker Blake Cashman. We recently heard in an interview that

1072
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes has worn the same pair of underwear or

1073
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 6: shorts before every game. Do you give me weird things

1074
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 6: like that that you do?

1075
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 9: It's funny you ask me that I don't, but I

1076
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 9: have heard a lot of stories from different athletes and

1077
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 9: different school Like I've heard the the Derek Jeter one.

1078
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 8: With the when he was playing or was it what's.

1079
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 9: His name, Jason Giambo or something, Jason, Yeah, Jiambi. The

1080
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 9: bunch of guys in the Yankies they heard they wore

1081
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 9: like gold thong underwear.

1082
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,919
Speaker 6: You ever heard that one? I believe it. I haven't

1083
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 6: heard it, but I do have a.

1084
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 8: Weird one this year though. Time it's weird.

1085
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 9: But so our socks have left and right on him

1086
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 9: and I've been wearing my right sock on my left foot, my.

1087
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 8: Left sock on right foot.

1088
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 6: What's that do for you?

1089
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 9: I just it's something I noticed, like after I think

1090
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 9: the Jacksonville game, which I thought I play a good game.

1091
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 8: So you know I am. I can be superstitious. So

1092
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 8: it's like, yeah, just I'll just keep it rolling for

1093
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 8: the rest of the year.

1094
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 6: It's working, man, It's I like it. Keep it up,

1095
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 6: you know, you bring that up. The locker room is

1096
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 6: an interesting place, like with the bins of equipment and

1097
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 6: stuff like that. So speaking of the locker room, when

1098
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 6: you guys roll in on game day, you walk in

1099
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,280
Speaker 6: the locker room, what's the very first thing.

1100
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 9: That you do when I get in the locker room.

1101
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 9: I really just walked through the locker room because I

1102
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 9: go right with the caf T here I eat, Okay,

1103
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 9: But then when I come back, I get changed and

1104
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 9: I start getting into my routine, which is usually like

1105
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 9: soft tissue work, mobility, stretching, and then after that, I

1106
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 9: get rolling onto the field and.

1107
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 8: Start, you know, my warm up before the warm up.

1108
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you go through the warm before the warm up,

1109
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 6: you do the warm up to come back in. What's

1110
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 6: the last thing you do in the locker room before

1111
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 6: you go out to take the field on a game day?

1112
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 9: Watch ray Lewis like hype tape all right, and I've

1113
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 9: been watching. I guess that's something too. I could have

1114
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 9: added something I'm superstitious about. I've been doing that since

1115
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 9: my junior year of high school.

1116
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 6: Yes, the same. I know you've told me that one before.

1117
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 6: That's that's cool to hear. Yeah, so you keep doing it,

1118
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 6: you haven't stopped doing it. Keep it up, man. Okay.

1119
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,760
Speaker 6: What's the most overrated Thanksgiving side?

1120
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 8: Dish stuffing?

1121
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 7: Okay?

1122
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,240
Speaker 9: Because yeah, I mean I just feel like it's sometimes

1123
00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 9: it's too most of them, it's too dry. I know

1124
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,800
Speaker 9: sometimes people put it like a lot of cranberry or

1125
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 9: something in there to make it sweeter. I just feel

1126
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 9: like it's always it's it's always very different, and usually

1127
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 9: I'm left disappointed.

1128
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 6: What's your go to side dish?

1129
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 8: The like sweet potato or yams?

1130
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 9: Okay with the marshmallow it on Top's.

1131
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 6: Kind of sweet, but it's part of the non dessert.

1132
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 8: Yes, it's fantastic.

1133
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,919
Speaker 6: You're number fifty three? How come? Why are you number

1134
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 6: fifty three?

1135
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 9: First number I had my rookie year when I was

1136
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,720
Speaker 9: with the Jets, and I think it was between fifty

1137
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 9: three fifty six and like forty six or.

1138
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 8: No, no, forty eight.

1139
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 9: I think I just like fifty three best out of

1140
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 9: them and kind of wanted to do the same thing

1141
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 9: I did in college I had. I was given the

1142
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 9: number thirty six in college. I wasn't a fan of it,

1143
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 9: but it grew on me. But I was like, hey,

1144
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 9: this is my number, and yeah, kind of regardless of

1145
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 9: if I like it or not, I kind of wanted

1146
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 9: to make a name for that number.

1147
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,439
Speaker 6: That's good man, that's good person who makes you laugh

1148
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 6: the most is it doesn't have to be a teammate.

1149
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 6: It could be anybody in the world.

1150
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 9: I'd probably say one of my high school buddies, really

1151
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 9: a childhood for guy who I've been friends with since

1152
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 9: I was like six years old, So I think of

1153
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 9: him as like really my own brother family. But you know,

1154
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 9: we know everything there is about each other, so you know,

1155
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 9: he can make me laugh, just very just kind of

1156
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 9: a silly, goofy guy, sarcastic, but he's really big into

1157
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 9: film and comedy and all that. So I think he

1158
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 9: just has a bank in his memory of a lot

1159
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 9: of funny jokes.

1160
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 6: Hit you with that. Yeah, last week we had no

1161
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,439
Speaker 6: Brown in here. He had one of his best friends

1162
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 6: from growing up to say this basically similar type of

1163
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 6: story to you. Do you take your shoes off when

1164
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 6: you're ever on an airplane?

1165
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 8: Absolutely not.

1166
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 6: What do you think of people who do that?

1167
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 9: It disturbs me a little bit, And be honest, I

1168
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 9: really feel like if you're in public, I mean, unless

1169
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 9: you're like at the beach or something, you should have

1170
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 9: your feet covered. But on an airplane, it's just it's

1171
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 9: two of a space. Yeah, So if you're taking your

1172
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 9: shoes off and trying to air those dogs out, like

1173
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,359
Speaker 9: nobody's trying to smell some sweaty socks with his feet,

1174
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 9: Like that's that's where like people like you got to

1175
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 9: have awareness when you're around people in public, Gotta be awared, like, hey,

1176
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 9: I gotta watch out and take care of me and

1177
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 9: my business. So I'm not disturbing you know, somebody else.

1178
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 8: It's just the way I operate.

1179
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 6: You hear that, Be aware, Blake, Cashman, if you're traveling

1180
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:16,879
Speaker 6: near him, he's gonna be looking out for you. What's

1181
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 6: the first animal you would put on the arc if

1182
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,280
Speaker 6: you had the arc and the flood was coming?

1183
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 8: Kind of still am a big animal lover.

1184
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 9: I love all the like the you know, Discovery animplant shows,

1185
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,280
Speaker 9: the Life shows on Netflix. Probably gotta be like either

1186
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 9: a lion or a wolf. He was my favorite animal

1187
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 9: growing up.

1188
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 6: You want a predator on there first, I think, so.

1189
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, those are the animals that always fascinated me growing up.

1190
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 8: All right, so yeah, probably say a lion.

1191
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 6: Okay, being at the jungle, Right, we've gotta wrap things up.

1192
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,320

1232
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 14: was put in. But I don't feel like it's just

1233
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 14: a me award.

1234
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:36,040

1238
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 6: Sure, Yeah, we heard CJ talking after the game saying

1239
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 6: him doing what he was able to do the offense,

1240
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 6: what he was able to do on the ground, like

1241
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 6: that really opens up the play action And how scary

1242
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 6: is that for a pussing defenses? Maybe the rest of

1243
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 6: the season, if you guys were able to keep this going.

1244
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,800
Speaker 14: Very scary when you could be two dimensional not one dimensional,

1245
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 14: you know, keep the defense on their toes and what

1246
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:01,400

00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 14: Man, that's gonna be tough. It's always good when you

00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 2: able to do, not only that week against the Bengals,

1269
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 2: but you know, biding his time. I mean, keep in mind,

1270
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 2: I was actually thinking about this driving up here. Gets in Atlanta.

1271
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 2: He didn't have a touch, and now he's last week

1272
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 2: had thirty catches, want thirty carries, onet reception, thirty one

1273
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 2: total touches.

1274
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 3: My goodness, out a.

1275
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 2: Guy who I know had a couple slip through his

1276
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 2: hands the other day wanting to make a big play,

1277
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,240
Speaker 2: needed to make big plays this week against Kyler Murray,

1278
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 2: and that is Jalen Petrie. Let's get a little cutler

1279
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 2: with Drew and Jalen Jalen Petrie.

1280
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 6: What's the challenge with Kyler Murray at quarterback? How does

1281
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 6: this offense look as opposed to what you've seen on tape,

1282
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 6: you know, the weeks before he got back.

1283
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 15: Yeah, I feel like the offense is talents at offense.

1284
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 15: You know, they got some dynamic players, especially with Kyler back.

1285
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 15: They're doing a lot of more different things. You know,

1286
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 15: they're trying to pass the ball a lot more. But

1287
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 15: you know they're a run heavy team. But a lot

1288
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 15: of towns of players. You know, six is a great player,

1289
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 15: two is a great player, four is a great player.

1290
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 15: Like it's a lot of good players on that offense.

1291
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 15: And I think they do a lot of things well.

1292
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 15: So good challenge for us coming up on Sunday.

1293
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 6: You guys just passed the halfway point of the season.

1294
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,320
Speaker 6: Does that seem it's so far off the end of

1295
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 6: the season or it's gonna be here quickly when you

1296
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 6: look at it that way, What do you feel? What

1297
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 6: do you think?

1298
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 8: Man?

1299
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 15: Me personally, I feel like it's gonna be here quickly.

1300
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 13: And I'm just trying to.

1301
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 15: Take advantage of all this time that we have because

1302
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 15: I know in the offseason I'd.

1303
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 13: Be really bored and really wanting to be in season.

1304
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,359
Speaker 15: So you know, I'm just trying to take advantage of

1305
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,760
Speaker 15: all the reps that I have, you know, looking forward

1306
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 15: and just trying to have fun out there on my teammates.

1307
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 13: These last couple of.

1308
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 15: Weeks have been really fun, and you know, it's it's

1309
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 15: been exciting, you know, getting these wins.

1310
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 6: How much fun is it gonna be back home? Crowd

1311
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 6: will be loud, all that stuff.

1312
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 15: Oh, it's gonna be real fun back home. You know,

1313
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 15: hopefully we have sold our crowd. Everybody just come out

1314
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 15: and we just get turnt and get the dub.

1315
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 6: You like that uniform como the battle red helmets.

1316
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 13: The club red helmets.

1317
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 15: Red Helmets always do it for us, and I feel

1318
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 15: like it's always a good little change for us for sure.

1319
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 6: Last thing for me, the guy that you lock her

1320
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 6: next two is Devin Singletary. Motor just got named AFC

1321
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 6: Offensive Player of the Week for him.

1322
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 13: Are you extremely happy?

1323
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 15: You know, Motor puts into work every day. You know,

1324
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 15: he's another guy that breaks the Veggie meter and you know, shit, yeah,

1325
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 15: like he's legit.

1326
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 13: You said, we seen him throw.

1327
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 15: The touchdown in the beginning of the season and glad

1328
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 15: that he was able to run it in this time.

1329
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 15: And you know he had a great game with one

1330
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 15: hundred and fifty yards. So excited for him going forward

1331
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 15: and I know he's gonna, you know, to.

1332
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 13: Improve for us.

1333
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 6: Jill and Petrie, thanks for the time.

1334
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 13: Yes, I appreciate you.

1335
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 2: Confirmed one hundred percent. Litbaum in uh his waistband. I

1336
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 2: confirmed that after the game against the Bengals, and then

1337
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 2: I brought mine up from my pocket. Now I have

1338
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 2: pockets on the on the field with my pants, so

1339
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 2: I have.

1340
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 3: A nice place to put it. But I understand it, man.

1341
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 2: I keep that lip balm as close as I as

1342
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 2: I possibly can, especially if it's a little chilly out.

1343
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 2: So I definitely had to have it for Cincinnati, and

1344
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,919
Speaker 2: you know Jayeth Petrie had it for that game as well. Now,

1345
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 2: I didn't do my keys earlier because we had Matt

1346
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 2: Burke on and we had at Smith. So I'm gonna

1347
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 2: do my Keyston game next. In addition my predictions, we

1348
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 2: got a lot to do. The next segment is gonna

1349
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 2: be beefed up.

1350
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 3: Baby.

1351
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 1: Let's go right here on Texans All Access. What's Up?

1352
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: What's Up?

1353
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 3: What's up?

1354
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 2: Welcome back to our Friday edition of Texans All Access

1355
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 2: from Monday Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host, John Harris,

1356
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 2: Football and all the sideline reporter. It's week eleven in

1357
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 2: the NFL. I mean we're over the halfway. Is game

1358
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 2: ten for the Texans. It's the Arizona Cardinals. Plus its

1359
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 2: week eleven in the NFL. Four teams on a by

1360
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 2: So we have thirteen games, sorry, twelve games Sunday. You

1361
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 2: had one Thursday, you had one Monday. So here we go,

1362
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 2: and we got a lot to do in this segment

1363
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 2: because we're gonna do a Mike He's to the game

1364
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 2: against the Cardinals. B We're gonna make my prediction straight

1365
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 2: up and against the spread for fun, for fun, for fun,

1366
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 2: for fun. So we're clear for fun.

1367
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: So let's get some music going for this entire segment.

1368
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be awesome.

1369
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 2: So let's start with our keys to the game against

1370
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals. Now, the Cardinals are two and eight, with

1371
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 2: wins over the Dallas Cowboys and over the Atlanta Falcons

1372
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 2: last week. Both wins were in Arizona. They have not

1373
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 2: won on the road this year. Let's hope that continues.

1374
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: Now.

1375
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 2: Some of the numbers are a little skewed because there

1376
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 2: were nine games without Kyler Murray. But one hundred and

1377
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 2: twenty seven yards per game on the ground, it's ninth

1378
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 2: in the NFL. Last week, James Connor ran for seventy

1379
00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 2: three and sixteen.

1380
00:59:58,920 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 3: We'll get to him a little bit.

1381
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 2: Passing yards per game one hundred and seventy one hundred

1382
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 2: and sixty nine thirty first in the league. They're under

1383
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 2: three hundred yards per game of its coordinator Drew Petsing

1384
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 2: is an interesting guy from what you hear around the league.

1385
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 2: But he's got his hands full against the Texans defense.

1386
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 2: But he also has Kyler Murray back, and that is

1387
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 2: the very first key to the game.

1388
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: Against the Cardinals offense. I call it.

1389
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 3: Creatively executed football now.

1390
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 2: I used to call playground football because there was a

1391
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 2: large part of me, in fact all of me that

1392
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 2: felt like Kyler Murray was playing playground football with Cliff Kingsbury.

1393
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 2: There was really nothing to that game plan where you

1394
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 2: felt like, oh, yeah, this is really scripted. He was

1395
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 2: making everything happen off schedule. Watching him the other day,

1396
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 2: he felt like he was more coloring between the lines.

1397
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 2: Now when he colors outside the lines, it's still pretty

1398
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 2: exciting for.

1399
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 3: The Cardinals, not always for the defense.

1400
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 2: But the greatness of Murray is always always being able

1401
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 2: to take a dunkk and make it a shining star.

1402
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 2: As in a played dead on arrival, he can turn

1403
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 2: it into something positive. Case in point last week, fourth

1404
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 2: quarter final drive, third down, drops back to pass nothing

1405
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 2: on his left side, spins and retreats probably about ten yards,

1406
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 2: and then just outruns everybody for about a twenty yard

1407
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 2: game to set up a huge store to trade McBride

1408
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 2: a few plays later. But it's the scramble that really

1409
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 2: becomes tough.

1410
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 9: Here.

1411
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 2: Matt Burke talk about it you got plaster receivers, you

1412
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 2: gotta be solid in your rush lanes.

1413
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 3: But Kyler Murray creates.

1414
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 2: All kinds of issues playing creatively executed football, which means

1415
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 2: he'll take a play now, and it's a good play,

1416
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 2: and he'll make it a little bit better. Sometimes he

1417
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 2: still can make a bad play into a great one.

1418
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 3: And that is the power of Kyler Murray. Number two.

1419
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 3: The Connor hammer is back.

1420
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: That's James Conner.

1421
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 2: He was out for four weeks and he ran for

1422
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 2: seventy three yards and sixteen carries last week.

1423
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: He is very difficult to tackle. Let me be brutally

1424
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: honest about that.

1425
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:54,919
Speaker 3: Six foot two hundred thirty two.

1426
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 2: Pounds runs downhill with speed and does not like to

1427
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 2: be tackled. Texansers must bring their big boy pads now.

1428
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 3: He doesn't run with the speed of Kyler Murray.

1429
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 2: Buddy is fast enough, especially because Murray takes so many eyeballs.

1430
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 3: Tackling is at a premium.

1431
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 2: And the Texans are down Denzel Perriman and they're down

1432
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 2: Henry TOTOA. Linebackers have got a mission, if you will,

1433
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 2: to stop James Connor. But they have got to bring

1434
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 2: their big boy pads and Finally, offensively is the emergence

1435
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 2: of a new star, a new tight end star.

1436
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: Without zach Ertz.

1437
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 2: The Cardinals have a new tight end, second year tight ends,

1438
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 2: a new tight end. Trey McBride one of the more

1439
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 2: intriguing tight end players. He's got a little bit of

1440
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 2: Kittle in his game. He's got a little bit of

1441
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 2: Hockinson in his game. He'll block, he's tough, he can

1442
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 2: catch and run. Last week he had eight catches for

1443
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty one yards from Murray in that win,

1444
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 2: including the long one down the field where he's double covered,

1445
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 2: went up and made a catch, got the ball down

1446
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 2: inside the six yard line to kick the field go

1447
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 2: a few plays later.

1448
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals win. Cardinals win, and a big.

1449
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 2: Part of that was because of Kyler Murray, but a

1450
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 2: large part of that was because of Trade McBride and

1451
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 2: the Texans have not done a great job covering tight ends.

1452
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 3: That worries me.

1453
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: The Bengals went away from the tight ends for whatever reason.

1454
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 1: Maybe the coverage is better.

1455
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:15,439
Speaker 2: I think it was a little bit better, but the

1456
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 2: coverage has got to be pristine.

1457
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 1: On Trade McBride.

1458
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 2: That puts a lot on the linebackers to have to

1459
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 2: spy on Kyler Murray, tackle, James Connor cover trade McBride.

1460
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 2: They're gonna need some help in the safeties, and the

1461
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 2: safeties are down a few bodies, a lot of bodies.

1462
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: They're down.

1463
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 3: Jimmy Ward, they're down.

1464
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 6: M J.

1465
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 2: Stewart, they're down, Eric Murray they're down, and they're down

1466
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 2: there Grayland Arnold.

1467
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 3: There's a fourth one.

1468
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 2: So they're gonna have to find a safety over the weekend.

1469
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 2: There goes to go play in this game if needed.

1470
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 2: They've got Jaylen Petrie and DHC and those two played

1471
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 2: pretty well. But as we've seen with the safeties, they've

1472
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 2: been banged up this year, no doubt about that. All right,

1473
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 2: football with the Cardinals defense, and there are a lot

1474
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 2: of names on his defense that you're not going to recognize.

1475
01:03:58,320 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 1: It's just not that kind of defense.

1476
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 2: But they give up a lot of game, a lot

1477
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 2: of yards to the ground one hundred and thirty four

1478
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 2: yards per game on the ground, that's twenty eighth in

1479
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 2: the NFL.

1480
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 3: Then I don't give up a lot of.

1481
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 2: Yards through the air, but they give up a one

1482
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 2: on one passer rating as a defense through the air,

1483
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 2: that's not good. Total offense a lot. They're about three

1484
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 2: forty three per game. That's twenty second in the league.

1485
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 2: So what do they have, Well, they have Buddha Baker,

1486
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 2: and Buddha Baker is a certified badass.

1487
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 1: He is all over the field.

1488
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 2: Now, they're not winning a lot of games, and I

1489
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 2: really worried about that for the Cardinals that Buddha.

1490
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 3: You know, in the offseason he kind of asked for

1491
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 3: a trade.

1492
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 2: He wanted things kind of refigured, reconfigured his contract.

1493
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 3: But he's locked in now.

1494
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 2: He is all about it and you could just tell

1495
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 2: he was having fun last week with that team in

1496
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 2: a win against the Falcons.

1497
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 1: He's all over the field. You gotta know where he is.

1498
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 2: He'll blitz, he'll play the run, he'll be on the

1499
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 2: other side of the field to make a tackle for

1500
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 2: no gain on the other side of the field. That's

1501
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:53,959
Speaker 2: just the way that he plays the game. You gotta

1502
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 2: keep your eyes on boot up Baker. You gotta know

1503
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 2: where he is. Got to count for him and then

1504
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 2: use some of that bootleg and deeper action that she

1505
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 2: had last week to kind of use that against him.

1506
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 2: Number two Dennis gard deck off the edge. Now he's

1507
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 2: only six foot two thirty two. In fact, James Connor

1508
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 2: is bigger than he is. But gard Deck is a

1509
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 2: whale of a pass rusher because he's relentless. He's got

1510
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 2: spin moves, he's got inside rit moves, he's got all

1511
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 2: kinds of things that he uses off the edge, and

1512
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,360
Speaker 2: that becomes problematic for George Phant, Larry Tunzell. They handle

1513
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 2: the speed rushers, they handle the power rushers, but gard

1514
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 2: Deck's kind of a mix everything. He's kind of a

1515
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 2: wild man, underdog kind of guy, and that makes it tough.

1516
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 1: So he's gonna keep after it.

1517
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 2: Texans got to find a way to block him, maybe

1518
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 2: some chips on the way out, just to kind of

1519
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 2: slow him down a little bit. But and Tut's are

1520
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 2: gonna have their hands full with Dennis gard Deck, there's

1521
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 2: no question. And then finally I have a key eclectically driven.

1522
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 2: I would imagine that Jonathan Gannett is gonna get kind

1523
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 2: of freaky, kind of exotic on third and Long. So

1524
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 2: a little bit of that of Bengals with lou Anarumo.

1525
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 2: He brought a little bit of everything at the Texans.

1526
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 2: The Texas getting third Long, Jonathan gannon is going to

1527
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 2: dial up some stuff with Gardeck with some of the

1528
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 2: pass rushers they've got, I got a feel and you're

1529
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 2: gonna see some eclectic, exotic looking stuff on third down

1530
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 2: and long. Texans have got to stay away from third

1531
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 2: and long to have a shot. All right, let's transition

1532
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 2: out of this into games of the weekend, straight up

1533
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 2: and against the spread.

1534
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: Gotta love it. Here we go last night's game.

1535
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 2: Just as a result, if you missed it, Ravens beat

1536
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 2: the Bengals, but the carnage.

1537
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 1: Is Oh my goodness.

1538
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,439
Speaker 2: The news out of Cincinnati is no bueno as Joe

1539
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 2: Burrow and the wrist an issue out for the year.

1540
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 2: So in the span of about seventy two hours, the

1541
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 2: Bengals lost Joe Burrow for the year and the Browns

1542
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 2: lost to Sean Watson for the year.

1543
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 8: Whoa.

1544
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 2: That changes everything in that division going forward. And that

1545
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 2: leads us to the very first game of the day,

1546
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 2: and that is Steelers at Brown's. Both teams six and

1547
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 2: three games in Cleveland. The spread has moved. The spread

1548
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 2: is now one and a half. Like I said, the

1549
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 2: Browns will not have Deshaun Watson for the rest of

1550
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 2: the year. They will not go PJ. Walker, They will

1551
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 2: go with Dorian Thompson Robinson aka dt R as Cleveland's

1552
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 2: favored by point and a half. Something tells me, after

1553
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 2: the way this game went earlier in the year in Pittsburgh,

1554
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 2: the Browns are gonna rally and find a way to

1555
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 2: win this thing. It's just my hunch. So I'm going

1556
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 2: Browns to win and Browns to cover that one and

1557
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 2: a half. Just that's my hunch.

1558
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 6: All right.

1559
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 2: It's going on Duval County where the Titans are taking

1560
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 2: on the jaguarres. Jacksonville's favored by seven after getting absolutely

1561
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 2: housed last week by the San Francisco forty nine ers.

1562
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 3: And there was an interesting little.

1563
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 2: Audio piece where Fred Warner was miked up and he

1564
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 2: was like, they don't know what they're doing, and a

1565
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 2: Jaguars player said, yeah, you're right, we don't know what

1566
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 2: we're doing.

1567
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 3: I got a feeling that.

1568
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 2: Things are gonna be simplified this week for the Jags

1569
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 2: and they're gonna win this football game against the Titans,

1570
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 2: but they will not cover. This will be a five

1571
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 2: to six point game. Jaguars will win it to get

1572
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 2: the seven and three. Titans will lose to go to

1573
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 2: three and seven, and if that happens. If that happens,

1574
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 2: that means the Titans will have been three and fourteen

1575
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 2: in their last seventeen games. Just think about that for

1576
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:19,519
Speaker 2: a second, three and fourteen their last seventeen games. That happens,

1577
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 2: So Jags win, Titans will get the cover.

1578
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:23,600
Speaker 3: I'll give them that.

1579
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 2: The Raiders, the five and five Raiders are heading down

1580
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 2: to Miami. Negative body clock game is. This game will

1581
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 2: kick off at one Eastern, which will be ten am

1582
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:37,719
Speaker 2: for the Raiders body clock time, taking on a Dolphins

1583
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 2: six and three.

1584
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 1: Now.

1585
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 2: Dolphins are coming back from their game in Germany a

1586
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, so they're fresh. The Raiders have

1587
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 2: got two wins in a rows, so hey, they're feeling

1588
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 2: good about things. Doesn't matter though. Miami's gonna get this win.

1589
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:54,479
Speaker 2: They're favored by thirteen all those things considered, and I

1590
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 2: think they're gonna win this by more than thirteen. This

1591
01:08:56,520 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 2: feels like at a minimum two touchdowns to fourteen points

1592
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:02,600
Speaker 2: win for the Dolphins. That'll get a win and a

1593
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 2: cover for Miami. The Cowboys are going to Carolina, and

1594
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 2: I saw a nugget this afternoon that said that Carolina

1595
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 2: has been working on their silent count for the game,

1596
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:15,880
Speaker 2: considering there could be a lot of Cowboys fans there.

1597
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 2: Dallas is favored by ten and a half. In Carolina,

1598
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:21,799
Speaker 2: Frank Reich has taken back to play calling for the Panthers.

1599
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:23,560
Speaker 2: It's kind of a mess there for the one and

1600
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 2: eight Panthers. I think the Cowboys are gonna win this game.

1601
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:29,599
Speaker 2: I feel like thirty four to seventeen that gives the

1602
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 2: Panthers not a cover, gives the Cowboys a cover. So

1603
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 2: we're going Dallas to win and cover that ten and

1604
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 2: a half. On the road, the Bears are going to

1605
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 2: Detroit to take on the Lions. The Lions are seven

1606
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 2: and two after last week's walk off against the Chargers

1607
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 2: out in LA. The Bears got a Thursday night win

1608
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 2: over the Panthers, so they had the mini by Detroit's

1609
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:55,639
Speaker 2: favored by seven and a half at home. I feel

1610
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 2: like with Justin Fields coming back for the Bears, it

1611
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 2: could get kind of exciting, not that exciting.

1612
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: I feel like the Lions are.

1613
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 3: Gonna win this thing.

1614
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 2: Thirty four, twenty four, thirty eight, twenty four, something along

1615
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 2: those lines. That covers the seven and a half lines,

1616
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 2: win and cover a big number at home.

1617
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 3: The Chargers are going to the Packers.

1618
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 1: The Packers are just three and six.

1619
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 2: Need the Packers to win some games here, and it'll

1620
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 2: be nice if they'd be an AFC team. So I'm

1621
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 2: gonna give the Packers a little bit of an upset.

1622
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 2: I feel like the Chargers are better. They're favored by three.

1623
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give the Packers a win and winning they'll cover,

1624
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:32,639
Speaker 2: but I at least get three. So I'm going Packers

1625
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 2: over the Chargers in a mild upset in Lambeau needed

1626
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:37,639
Speaker 2: to happen.

1627
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 3: If that happens, both teams will move to four and six.

1628
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 2: The Giants are taking on the Commanders in Washington, where

1629
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 2: the Commanders are eight and a half point favorites. Boocket

1630
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 2: right now, Tommy DeVito ten points, that's it.

1631
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: Can the Commanders get to twenty?

1632
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:55,799
Speaker 2: I think so. I think they can get to twenty.

1633
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 2: I think that's enough. They'll cover the eight and a

1634
01:10:58,000 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 2: half because the Giants can't score.

1635
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 3: This very easily.

1636
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 2: Could be fourteen to three, and that's a cover and

1637
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 2: it's a win for the Commanders. So we'll give them

1638
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 2: a win and a cover against the gment all right,

1639
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 2: Bucks taking on the forty nine Ers I know it's

1640
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:13,839
Speaker 2: a twelve point spread, but the Bucks are feisty.

1641
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: We saw it in Houston.

1642
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 2: They went back home and got a win against the Titans,

1643
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 2: who look very very good doing it. The forty nine

1644
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:21,959
Speaker 2: ers are feeling themselves after a win over the Jaguars.

1645
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 2: Twelve is a bit much. I think the Bucks are

1646
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 2: getting inside that number. I think they'll get inside that number.

1647
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 2: I know the forty nine ers can throw it and

1648
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 2: the Bucks can't stop running water. But they did a

1649
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 2: good job against Will Levis. They do that against Rock Pridy.

1650
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if they get all the way there,

1651
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 2: but I think they can cover. So let's give the

1652
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 2: forty nine ers a ten point win. That's under twelve.

1653
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers win, Bucks cover, Jets, and Bills loser

1654
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 2: is pretty much done.

1655
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: Put it that way.

1656
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 2: The Bills will have Joe Brady as their offensive coordinator

1657
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 2: to favored by seven at home. The Jets are bringing

1658
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,639
Speaker 2: that big, badass defense. They just can't score. They can't

1659
01:11:56,640 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 2: score touchdowns and that is a bit of an issue.

1660
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 2: So let's go Bills to win, and let's go Bills

1661
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 2: to cover. They get one for Joe Brady, they get

1662
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 2: one for Ken Dorsey, who left Rams taking on the

1663
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 2: Seahawks in LA. Seattle's favored by a half point, so

1664
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 2: basically a pick him. I'm going with the Seahawks. They're

1665
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 2: playing pretty good football. Seahawks win beat the Rams in LA.

1666
01:12:16,240 --> 01:12:18,879
Speaker 2: Even though Matt Stafford should be back for the Rams

1667
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 2: healthy enough to play, so we'll give the Seahawks a

1668
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:23,720
Speaker 2: win and a cover there in LA. The Vikings are

1669
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 2: taking on the Broncos on Sunday Night Football.

1670
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:27,439
Speaker 1: The Vikings are.

1671
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 2: Playing really good football, but so as Russell Wilson, nobody's

1672
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 2: paying attention to Russe Wilson's get it done.

1673
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 1: Let's go Broncos to win.

1674
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 3: I don't want him to. I want the Vikings to win.

1675
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:36,759
Speaker 1: But the Broncos will.

1676
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:38,960
Speaker 2: Win and cover that two and a half and they'll

1677
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,639
Speaker 2: stop the Josh Dobbs story at least for a week.

1678
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 2: And on Monday Night. We'll talk about that on Monday.

1679
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 2: But man, what a game Eagles Chiefs, Are you kidding me?

1680
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 2: This one's awesome. We'll talk about it on Monday. But

1681
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:51,479
Speaker 2: those are your picks against the spread, and straight up

1682
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 2: coming up, Tamiko Ryans had some great stuff with us

1683
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 2: on his Coaches show, so we decided to share it

1711
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:07,599
Speaker 5: players of the game. They get a lift in, so

1712
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 5: that's pretty much their Monday. It's kind of a half day.

1713
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 5: But victory mondays they don't have to come in at all.

1714
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:16,920
Speaker 5: Monday and Tuesdays they're off days, so they essentially they

1715
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 5: get two days off this week and then we'll all

1716
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,559
Speaker 5: start up again on Wednesday. So they're always excited to

1717
01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:23,719
Speaker 5: get that extra day off.

1718
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: BA and you get that victory.

1719
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 2: Five seconds left, get the ball down at a twenty

1720
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:32,240
Speaker 2: yard line. Matt Amadul's already hit two kicks, made all

1721
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 2: those extra points. But what are you thinking at that point?

1722
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 2: Gave tied twenty seven, twenty seven? What are you thinking

1723
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:38,599
Speaker 2: when he's lining up for that kick?

1724
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: You look pretty calm. You look calm.

1725
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 7: I was calm. I felt like we were definitely within

1726
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:44,479
Speaker 7: his range.

1727
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 5: Even we got further right that played by Noah didn't

1728
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:51,679
Speaker 5: even further than we needed to. So I was feeling

1729
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:55,720
Speaker 5: good about it, thinking that, Okay, we're in range. He

1730
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 5: should make this for sure. Matt a veteran kicker, has

1731
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 5: been around for a while, made a lot of kicks

1732
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 5: pick kicks in his league.

1733
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:03,360
Speaker 7: So it was.

1734
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 5: Calm and I was hard. I was like, man, should

1735
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:07,559
Speaker 5: I watched it and not watch it?

1736
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 7: I don't know.

1737
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:10,599
Speaker 5: But when I seen it go up and through, I

1738
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 5: was like, Wow, I just can't believe we won in this,

1739
01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 5: in this fasht.

1740
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 4: Well, you remember your first coach, Gary Kubiak would not

1741
01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 4: watch the big field goals, right.

1742
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 7: Right, He would wouldn't watch.

1743
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 5: So I had a Gary moment there and I wanted

1744
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:26,080
Speaker 5: to just stare at the ground and not look.

1745
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,320
Speaker 7: But man, thankful that he made it.

1746
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:30,920
Speaker 4: So does it say anything more about next man up

1747
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 4: than having two big field goals in each of the

1748
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 4: last two wins, kicked by two different people and neither

1749
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 4: of them is eming.

1750
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 5: Wow, that's been a story of our year, right, Who

1751
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 5: is up? Who is playing this week?

1752
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 3: Right?

1753
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 5: And it doesn't really matter right for me, it's that's

1754
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 5: the next man up mentality, that's the team first mentality.

1755
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,600
Speaker 5: Like if you step out there for the Texans, we

1756
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 5: were just expecting you to go out and perform to

1757
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 5: the best of your ability, right, and we all have

1758
01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:00,520
Speaker 5: each other's back no matter what happens.

1759
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 7: It's just a true, you know, team mentality.

1760
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:08,200
Speaker 5: You feel that connection, that vibe, a really good vibe

1761
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 5: from our team that they truly care about each other

1762
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:12,759
Speaker 5: and they're pulling for each other's success.

1763
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:14,599
Speaker 2: Because it felt like it was another one of those

1764
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,680
Speaker 2: games where you got eight guys out and you talk

1765
01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 2: about next man up. It's great, you got eight guys

1766
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 2: out and that doesn't even clode. Three guys in one

1767
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:26,640
Speaker 2: on IR after the game last week, so guys step up.

1768
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:29,520
Speaker 2: It felt like it was an organization win because everybody

1769
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 2: across across every level of that game made a play. Yes,

1770
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,400
Speaker 2: there were some stars, No, it was huge, Devin was great,

1771
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:38,479
Speaker 2: But it felt like everybody contributed to this winners that

1772
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 2: the way you looked at it.

1773
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 5: But sure, that's the way I look at it. Man,

1774
01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 5: That's what I want. Everybody contributed and that's what we needed.

1775
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 5: We needed everyone, I mean, And I told our guys

1776
01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 5: this on Saturday, right before we got on the buses

1777
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:54,120
Speaker 5: to take home for the plane. That's the only red

1778
01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 5: if you get on this bus, right, if you get

1779
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,679
Speaker 5: on this bus. The only reason you're getting on this bus,

1780
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:01,479
Speaker 5: is to go help us get a win in sense

1781
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:02,280
Speaker 5: and that and that's it.

1782
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:04,759
Speaker 7: That's the only thing that needs to be on your mind.

1783
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:09,719
Speaker 5: And my god, we needed everybody, and everybody helped. Guys

1784
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 5: made big play, special teams, a great job made. Defense,

1785
01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:17,640
Speaker 5: had some really big stops, third down stops offense of

1786
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 5: course another explosive outing, right. It's just it took everybody,

1787
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 5: and it took everybody down to the new guy who

1788
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:29,400
Speaker 5: just got here on the last Tuesday, a kicker Matt

1789
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:31,479
Speaker 5: and Mondola stepping up winning the game for us.

1790
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:33,760
Speaker 4: So they score on their opening drive, but after that

1791
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 4: you really put the clamps on them for a big

1792
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 4: portion of the game until the end when they got

1793
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:40,599
Speaker 4: a little hot. But what was the key to really

1794
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 4: slowing them down during the time you did?

1795
01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 5: The key was really like our disguise and what we

1796
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:48,320
Speaker 5: were trying to do. I think that was the key, right,

1797
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:50,680
Speaker 5: we had it. We held our disguises really well. We

1798
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 5: had good stops on first down, We won first down,

1799
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,320
Speaker 5: which put them in a second and long we were

1800
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 5: able to know we were playing pass and kind of

1801
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 5: tee off with the d line, and then we got

1802
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 5: into favorable third downs and we got stops on third down,

1803
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:06,920
Speaker 5: and that's where we haven't been doing a grade job

1804
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:08,759
Speaker 5: over the past couple of weeks. But we got stops

1805
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,439
Speaker 5: on third down, we were able to get three and outs.

1806
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 5: I think we had like five in a row, you know,

1807
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 5: three and outs, which we haven't done that before.

1808
01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:18,680
Speaker 7: But we play well together defensively.

1809
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:20,840
Speaker 2: Coach, one of the things I love to do is

1810
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:23,040
Speaker 2: kind of kind of peak your brain as it pertains

1811
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 2: to pass rush. Because it felt like yesterday and I

1812
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:29,280
Speaker 2: don't know the numbers on this, just is just watching

1813
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:31,160
Speaker 2: the game. It didn't feel like it didn't feel like

1814
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 2: you blitzed a lot, And I start thinking, well, maybe

1815
01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 2: that was because those front four were winning up front

1816
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:39,639
Speaker 2: that you felt good enough. Hey, one of those guys

1817
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:41,559
Speaker 2: from the front four is gonna get there against our

1818
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:43,719
Speaker 2: offensive line, we can win four on five.

1819
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:45,760
Speaker 1: Is that kind of the way that you look at it,

1820
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 1: or do you like.

1821
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:49,680
Speaker 2: To send different looks just to see how they'll respond

1822
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:51,760
Speaker 2: before you kind of get locked in how you want

1823
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:52,920
Speaker 2: to call the rest of the game. How do you

1824
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 2: kind of look at that situation. He don't give anything away,

1825
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 2: but I'm just always curious kind of your thought process

1826
01:18:57,320 --> 01:18:58,600
Speaker 2: and how you go about it all right. Yeah, I

1827
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:00,840
Speaker 2: always try to mix it up right. Sometimes I try

1828
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 2: to go pressure early to see hout they're handling. But

1829
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:05,439
Speaker 2: I always want to see get a feel for our

1830
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 2: front four right, because if our front four is humming,

1831
01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 2: and that allows us to really, you know, keep seving

1832
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:14,320
Speaker 2: in coverage, we can double team certain guys, we can

1833
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 2: get be exactly where we need to be in coverage

1834
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 2: and buy the D line even more time.

1835
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 5: So if when our front four is right, and that's

1836
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:24,680
Speaker 5: what I told our guys, I felt it. I felt Sheldon,

1837
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 5: I felt JG. I felt weilled like they were rushing,

1838
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 5: they were getting at the burrow, they were putting them

1839
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 5: in the ground a lot. They were hitting him and

1840
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 5: it disrupted his process. And I think that allowed us

1841
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 5: right to play better on defense because he was getting

1842
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:38,839
Speaker 5: anty in the pocket.

1843
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it seems like when you can get there

1844
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 4: with four, I mean, that's obviously going to help the

1845
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 4: back end. Guys, you got two big picks in the

1846
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 4: fourth quarter. What about that part?

1847
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:48,439
Speaker 5: Two huge picks and we're only able to do that

1848
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:52,200
Speaker 5: because of Sheldon's pressure on the quarterback. We get an overthrow,

1849
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:56,599
Speaker 5: really good coverage underneath quarterback overthrows the ball right, DAC

1850
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 5: gets to pick there and then in a hurry up

1851
01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:02,760
Speaker 5: type situation and they try to scramble to catch us right,

1852
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 5: and we shock does a good job of sinking back,

1853
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 5: staying in coverage, not jumping up right. He stayed back

1854
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:11,160
Speaker 5: in coverage through the ball right to him. But it's

1855
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 5: all about the pressure. When the quarterback feels that pressure

1856
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 5: early on, even if there isn't like enough pressure, he's

1857
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 5: just gonna get as he's gonna move him. It's gonna

1858
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 5: speed up his process, and that's exactly what we want.

1859
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 4: Well, you're top ten in a lot of categories, but

1860
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:27,599
Speaker 4: rushing defense would be one of them. And what goes

1861
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:30,200
Speaker 4: into that? What's the key to being good against the run?

1862
01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:32,000
Speaker 4: I know I ask you this almost every other week,

1863
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 4: but it really is interesting to me how you're able

1864
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:35,559
Speaker 4: to do this week after week.

1865
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:38,680
Speaker 5: Right, it starts with again our edge setters, so our

1866
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 5: defensive ends how they set the edge of their physical right,

1867
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 5: they contain the run and just box it in. So

1868
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:47,720
Speaker 5: our guys, was the linebackers nickels, all right, are two

1869
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 5: d tackles. They're just our edges, are said, and they

1870
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:54,360
Speaker 5: force the ball inside. Now, those guys can they can

1871
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 5: secure a tackle. When you get beating the run game

1872
01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 5: is when you don't set the edge on them and

1873
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 5: the ball circles you, guys get outside and Will and

1874
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:07,759
Speaker 5: JG have done a great job, Dylan Horton, all right, Jerry,

1875
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 5: they've done a great job of setting the edges over

1876
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:13,559
Speaker 5: the past few weeks, and you know, forcing teams to

1877
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:15,960
Speaker 5: throw the ball. And I think we've been, you know,

1878
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 5: around some teams who didn't rely heavily on the run game.

1879
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:22,920
Speaker 5: The Bengals, they they didn't run the ball as much

1880
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:24,640
Speaker 5: as they have in the pass and we did a

1881
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 5: good job I think of hitting, mixing early and swarming

1882
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:29,120
Speaker 5: them right to take them out of a run game.

1883
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 2: On the flip side of that, coach, it felt like

1884
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 2: you blocked the edge and the run game Texans run

1885
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 2: game that much better obviously. You know, Devin gets a

1886
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:40,680
Speaker 2: touchdown off that kind of counterflip play, but you blocked it.

1887
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:42,519
Speaker 2: You god great blocks on the edge. Devin was able

1888
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:44,720
Speaker 2: to turn the corner like two or three times. How

1889
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:46,880
Speaker 2: much did that impact how you were able to run

1890
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 2: the ball because it ranted inside pretty well?

1891
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 5: But you also got the edges too. Oh yeah, that

1892
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 5: was huge. I thought our tight ends did a really

1893
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:54,519
Speaker 5: good job. The tackles did a really good job of

1894
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 5: working the edges, right. We have those double teams on

1895
01:21:57,360 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 5: the edges a lot, right trying to capture the defense,

1896
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 5: capture safeties, and the Bengals did a really good job

1897
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:06,640
Speaker 5: of mixing in a safety pressure. So now our receivers

1898
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 5: are brought into the mix and now they have to

1899
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 5: come and try to crack safeties, get in on corners.

1900
01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 5: So overall, the guys did a really good job of

1901
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 5: just great hat placement in the run game, and Devin

1902
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 5: again did a great job of running the ball and

1903
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:21,960
Speaker 5: finishing with the physical mindset.

1904
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:24,920
Speaker 4: It's really interesting to me coach the free agency got

1905
01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 4: in the offseason and guys who are not me guys,

1906
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,760
Speaker 4: they're we guys like Devin Singletary Noah Brown, wait for

1907
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:33,400
Speaker 4: their opportunities and then explode. I mean, Devin had his

1908
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:36,880
Speaker 4: first rushing touchdown yesterday, yet he's already thrown a touchdown

1909
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 4: past somehow, and Noah Brown puts up historic numbers back

1910
01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 4: to back. What about the mindset of these guys who

1911
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 4: came in the offseason.

1912
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:46,599
Speaker 5: They're hungry, right, most guys are your free agents, right,

1913
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 5: your team doesn't sign you back, right, whether it's that

1914
01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:53,040
Speaker 5: one year deal, it's like, man, you're hungry to show like, hey,

1915
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:56,040
Speaker 5: I can do it in this league, right. And I

1916
01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 5: love having those guys who have that kind of I'm

1917
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 5: gonna show the world who I really type of mentality.

1918
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 5: And those are the guys we got with with Dalton,

1919
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:07,600
Speaker 5: with Noah, with Devin, like, guys are just how to

1920
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 5: prove that they belong in this league and they can

1921
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:10,639
Speaker 5: make big plays.

1922
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:14,320
Speaker 2: Coach, I always think about you and former defensive players

1923
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 2: how they would attack a certain current player.

1924
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:18,000
Speaker 1: And I look at Devin.

1925
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:20,200
Speaker 2: I think that would be a guy I wouldn't want

1926
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:22,800
Speaker 2: to tackle ever, because if he gets you in a

1927
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 2: whole one on one, he's gonna.

1928
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:25,680
Speaker 1: Give you that dead leg and you're done. And he

1929
01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 1: did that.

1930
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 2: Probably two or three times, so slick with it. What

1931
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:32,800
Speaker 2: makes him so tough is that move just so difficult

1932
01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:35,400
Speaker 2: for linemackers, for safeties when they're coming up and trying

1933
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:37,760
Speaker 2: to get there quickly that he's just he makes that

1934
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:38,679
Speaker 2: one cut and he's gone.

1935
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:41,160
Speaker 1: That is that what it is? Kind of simple to

1936
01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:41,960
Speaker 1: his success.

1937
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it starts with the way he started

1938
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:46,519
Speaker 5: the game running the ball like he started. It was

1939
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:50,519
Speaker 5: just downhill, just not running through guys. And now you

1940
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 5: come up and you're trying to prep for that where

1941
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 5: he's now he hits you with a I call it

1942
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:56,720
Speaker 5: a little R two button.

1943
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 7: On a man little juke move.

1944
01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 5: Ye, he hits you with the juke move and you're

1945
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:02,599
Speaker 5: thinking he's gonna try to run you over, and then

1946
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 5: it's just that little move right there that sticks you

1947
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:07,560
Speaker 5: and you're stuck in the ground or Scott called it,

1948
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:10,000
Speaker 5: you're on skates, Yeah, you're falling over.

1949
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:10,320
Speaker 12: It was.

1950
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 5: It's really impressive, and it's just instinctual by him of

1951
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:16,439
Speaker 5: when and where you need to do that move.

1952
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 1: All right, we now begin the CJ. Stroud portion of

1953
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 1: the program.

1954
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 4: He's so good that his first interception ends up being

1955
01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 4: a first down for himself. His second interception just sets

1956
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:30,920
Speaker 4: up the dramatics for another down the field, last second victory.

1957
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 4: But what about the way he played and the way

1958
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:35,000
Speaker 4: he shook off the pick most importantly.

1959
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 7: It's again impressive.

1960
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:40,599
Speaker 5: I mean, what I seen in this game is where

1961
01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 5: we asked Cj'd improved, is just stepping up in the

1962
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 5: pocket right he had for the past couple of weeks

1963
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 5: he's been moving back in the pocket, going backwards, and

1964
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:50,360
Speaker 5: we just asked him to step up right and he

1965
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:54,080
Speaker 5: did that. Mason plays actually scored a rushing touchdown just

1966
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 5: by stepping up in the pocket. So to see that

1967
01:24:56,200 --> 01:24:59,519
Speaker 5: improvement week after week, that's what you want to see.

1968
01:24:59,600 --> 01:24:59,760
Speaker 13: Right.

1969
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:02,879
Speaker 5: Then the interception, right, don't want to throw the interception

1970
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 5: and at that spot, bad timing, but win an effort

1971
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:08,640
Speaker 5: by Tank to get the guy down to give us

1972
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:11,680
Speaker 5: a chance. And CJ and Tank they come to me

1973
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,759
Speaker 5: on the side like we got the ball back. They're like, coach,

1974
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 5: we got you. Don't worry, coach, don't worry, we got you.

1975
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:21,400
Speaker 5: It's like, all right, guys, let's see it. And but

1976
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:24,559
Speaker 5: for him to have that resolve like that one bad

1977
01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:27,040
Speaker 5: play didn't affect him, like he didn't go he doesn't

1978
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:29,200
Speaker 5: go in the tank after a bad play. And that's

1979
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 5: what you You have to have that koun of next

1980
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 5: play mentality as a quarterback because if bad things happen, man,

1981
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 5: we have.

1982
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:36,640
Speaker 7: A lot of ball left.

1983
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 5: And for him to go out and have that confidence

1984
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 5: that he knew he was going to make plays right

1985
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 5: to help us win that game.

1986
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:46,720
Speaker 1: All right, the coach we got you, though.

1987
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:48,080
Speaker 4: I want to get back to that for a moment

1988
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:50,160
Speaker 4: because I think it was the preseason game maybe against

1989
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:52,879
Speaker 4: Miami or something where you said, hey, I want everybody

1990
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:56,600
Speaker 4: together on the sideline, I want everybody together as a

1991
01:25:56,640 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 4: group into the game. And the fact that they said

1992
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:03,360
Speaker 4: that reminds me of that that's the togetherness you're looking for.

1993
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 4: And whether or not they came through or not, at

1994
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,519
Speaker 4: least they feel that way and they're gonna act like it.

1995
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:08,080
Speaker 7: No doubt they.

1996
01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:10,280
Speaker 5: I mean, that was the I think the preseason that

1997
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 5: was after our Miami game it wasn't good enough. We

1998
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 5: came back the Saints game, and you saw, like our team,

1999
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:18,599
Speaker 5: you saw the energy, you saw a really good vibe

2000
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 5: from our sideline, and it was the same, like guys

2001
01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:26,559
Speaker 5: just really connected. And that's what I feel like Tank CJ.

2002
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 5: Like they feel that true connection with the entire team, like,

2003
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:31,880
Speaker 5: hey man, we got this.

2004
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 7: We know we're gonna make plays.

2005
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 2: I feel one of the things coach when we talk

2006
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 2: about CJ kind of maybe doesn't get mentioned as as

2007
01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 2: such as the offensive line and okay, the offensive line

2008
01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:47,599
Speaker 2: did great in protection, okay, but what really did they do? Okay,

2009
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:49,439
Speaker 2: they blocked their guys and that's fine. But one of

2010
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:51,080
Speaker 2: the things that stood out going back and watching the game,

2011
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:53,559
Speaker 2: there were a couple of blitzes that the Bengals brought

2012
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 2: where they were they bring somebody in their gap, they

2013
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,599
Speaker 2: bring a guy from depth, and it looked like there's

2014
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 2: Chris crossing, there's you know, the cross dogs going on,

2015
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:04,720
Speaker 2: and yet guys just picked it up and CJ had

2016
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:06,839
Speaker 2: time to throw. And so I feel like the offensive

2017
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:09,960
Speaker 2: line protection was really good and picking up whatever pressure

2018
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:12,200
Speaker 2: they would bring it to a point where it felt

2019
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:14,719
Speaker 2: like we can't pressure them. So it's just sent four

2020
01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 2: the second half. But the offensive line protection, how did

2021
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 2: you see it? How did you feel that group was

2022
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:21,360
Speaker 2: able to protect CJ yesterday?

2023
01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:23,479
Speaker 7: That's always key right when CJS.

2024
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 5: When we're talking about CJ, we're only talking about him

2025
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 5: because of the protection and the time that he has

2026
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 5: and not only the offensive line, but also the backs

2027
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 5: having a step up and lock the tight ends. Like

2028
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:36,679
Speaker 5: everybody is involved in the protection. And those guys again

2029
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 5: did another great job. Right for the Bengals. Man, they

2030
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:42,439
Speaker 5: threw every pressure in the book at us ye right,

2031
01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 5: they ran zero pressure on first down. They were running

2032
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 5: cross dogs in the middle, every pressure you can think

2033
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:51,639
Speaker 5: of Nickels safety. They had it right, and I think,

2034
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 5: why did they do that? I look to it is

2035
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:56,600
Speaker 5: like that just shows the respect that they have for

2036
01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:59,800
Speaker 5: our quarterback and trying to confuse him, give him as

2037
01:27:59,840 --> 01:28:02,720
Speaker 5: men different looks as possible, and for him to know

2038
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 5: his answers versus the zero pressure and speed it up

2039
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 5: and make them pay. Like, it's just really cool to

2040
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:13,360
Speaker 5: see that growth and improvement, to see how much respect

2041
01:28:13,479 --> 01:28:16,120
Speaker 5: other teams have for him to even try to run

2042
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:18,080
Speaker 5: that much pressure at him and our O line the

2043
01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 5: way they picked it up.

2044
01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:20,559
Speaker 7: Awesome job by all Right.

2045
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 4: I know you're vaguely familiar with Arizona, having faced them

2046
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 4: so many times with the forty nine ers organization, But

2047
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:29,120
Speaker 4: what are we seeing here on Sunday Coach, Because this

2048
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:31,680
Speaker 4: is Kyler Murray Connor. This is a different team than

2049
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:33,680
Speaker 4: they were a few weeks ago, brand new team. The

2050
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:35,160
Speaker 4: record doesn't really mean anything.

2051
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:38,720
Speaker 5: Right the Kyler Murray Show, Guys got to tighten their

2052
01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:41,120
Speaker 5: shoelaces up a little tighter. He's gonna be running around

2053
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:43,160
Speaker 5: a little longer, all right this week. One thing I

2054
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 5: always remember by Kyler is you gotta cover them twice,

2055
01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:50,120
Speaker 5: all right, because if it's not there on his first hits, like,

2056
01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:52,840
Speaker 5: he's gonna start to move around, and now you have

2057
01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:55,280
Speaker 5: to really what we call plaster on defense, where you

2058
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:58,080
Speaker 5: really have to man the closest guy in your zone

2059
01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:00,640
Speaker 5: and stay with him. So our line is gonna have

2060
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:02,920
Speaker 5: to rush a little bit longer than they've done in

2061
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:06,600
Speaker 5: the past weeks because Kyler is just he's phenomenal at

2062
01:29:06,680 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 5: moving around in the pocket.

2063
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:09,760
Speaker 7: And then you add Connor in the mix.

2064
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:13,360
Speaker 5: You talk about a physical back who runs downhill, powerful back,

2065
01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:15,720
Speaker 5: it's gonna take everybody swarming him to get after him

2066
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 5: as well.

2067
01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:18,640
Speaker 1: So, coach, what's for your linebackers?

2068
01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:20,720
Speaker 2: What's a big teacher where you talk about the defensive line,

2069
01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:22,719
Speaker 2: You gotta rush a little bit longer, you gotta keep going.

2070
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:24,280
Speaker 2: If you get your hands on him, you got a

2071
01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:27,160
Speaker 2: shot to bring him down. Dbs, you plaster those receivers

2072
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 2: and then you're on them. What's your kind of key

2073
01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:32,120
Speaker 2: for the linebackers because I would imagine with Connor and

2074
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:34,880
Speaker 2: with Kyler, it's kind of not two different ball games,

2075
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:37,000
Speaker 2: but it's kind of two different approaches. How but your

2076
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:38,599
Speaker 2: linebackers and facing those two.

2077
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:41,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely two different approaches when it comes to the linebackers.

2078
01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:43,280
Speaker 5: First in a run game, you got they have to

2079
01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:45,160
Speaker 5: handle Connor when it comes to the run game, and

2080
01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:47,080
Speaker 5: they have to be physical. It won't be one guy

2081
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:49,200
Speaker 5: bringing them down, so you have to put body on

2082
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:52,080
Speaker 5: body right and really wrap him up. That's gonna be

2083
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 5: the key for those guys. And then when it comes

2084
01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:56,200
Speaker 5: to Kyler, they're gonna be asked to be in coverage

2085
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:58,040
Speaker 5: as well, so they have a little bit of that

2086
01:29:58,080 --> 01:30:00,680
Speaker 5: where they have to plaster like there are dB and

2087
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:03,040
Speaker 5: then they're also going to be asked to rushing where

2088
01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:05,240
Speaker 5: they have to rush a little bit longer like the

2089
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:06,240
Speaker 5: d Lions.

2090
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:07,760
Speaker 7: So they have a little mix of both.

2091
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:10,120
Speaker 4: What can you tell us about how different he might

2092
01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:13,080
Speaker 4: be in this particular offense because you saw him in

2093
01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:13,759
Speaker 4: another offense.

2094
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:15,360
Speaker 1: It's still him, but it's a new system.

2095
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:16,519
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's still him.

2096
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 5: I think for Kyler, he does certain things well that

2097
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:22,559
Speaker 5: play callers have to just you have to tailor to

2098
01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:26,040
Speaker 5: what he does well, so they'll be of course, design

2099
01:30:26,160 --> 01:30:29,200
Speaker 5: quarterback runs. He really loves the draw play, so I

2100
01:30:29,240 --> 01:30:31,400
Speaker 5: know they have a quarterback draw in there right.

2101
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:34,400
Speaker 7: RPO game, that's where Kyler thrives you.

2102
01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 1: Still watch a lot of the dob stuff though that

2103
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:36,880
Speaker 1: they were running, right.

2104
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:38,599
Speaker 7: Yeah, we'll watch everything that they've done.

2105
01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 5: Try to pick up on any any tendensees we can get,

2106
01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:44,439
Speaker 5: but most of it is going to be you know,

2107
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:45,400
Speaker 5: Taylor to Kyler.

2108
01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:47,080
Speaker 2: I know the answer to this, but I would like

2109
01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:48,599
Speaker 2: for you to expand on it. If you could coach

2110
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:51,120
Speaker 2: playing back at home now you got three weeks in

2111
01:30:51,120 --> 01:30:52,439
Speaker 2: a row. We talked about that before, you got three

2112
01:30:52,479 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 2: weeks in a row at home. But coming off the

2113
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:58,400
Speaker 2: last two wins and coming back home, Kyler's only a

2114
01:30:58,479 --> 01:31:00,959
Speaker 2: second start, how important does the crowd become.

2115
01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:01,519
Speaker 1: For you guys?

2116
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:04,160
Speaker 2: I know it makes communication tough for you guys at times,

2117
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:06,639
Speaker 2: but I would imagine you'd love having it rather than not.

2118
01:31:06,880 --> 01:31:10,599
Speaker 5: Right, I mean, coming back home. It's after you two

2119
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:13,080
Speaker 5: big wins. And I still remember that Tampa Bay game.

2120
01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:15,040
Speaker 5: Towards the end of that game, how loud our stadium

2121
01:31:15,240 --> 01:31:18,360
Speaker 5: was and how it affected the quarterback and their offense.

2122
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 5: They had to burn time outs, right, they caused them

2123
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:24,479
Speaker 5: a penalty, right, false start, Like our fans can truly

2124
01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:27,599
Speaker 5: impact this game right in offense? As the Cardinals they're

2125
01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:29,240
Speaker 5: going to come in, they try to communicate at the

2126
01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:30,000
Speaker 5: line of scrimmas.

2127
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:32,120
Speaker 7: We need our fans to impact that.

2128
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:34,519
Speaker 5: We need you guys to be as loud as possible, right,

2129
01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:37,960
Speaker 5: We need you guys to show up right and really

2130
01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:41,080
Speaker 5: make it chaotic for them when they are on offense,

2131
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:43,719
Speaker 5: and you're gonna make it difficult for us on defense.

2132
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:47,400
Speaker 5: But that's okay. We'll find a way to communicate. But man,

2133
01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:49,320
Speaker 5: we wanted you guys as loud as possible.

2134
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:51,240
Speaker 4: It says so much about your team the way you

2135
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:53,320
Speaker 4: were able to execute down the stretch in these last

2136
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:56,000
Speaker 4: two games. And I'm looking around the league and seeing

2137
01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:58,760
Speaker 4: a lot of teams that didn't necessarily in the last

2138
01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:02,240
Speaker 4: couple of weeks or yesterday. So tell us how much

2139
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:04,360
Speaker 4: of those other games, Because I know you show the

2140
01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:07,400
Speaker 4: players situations that come up from other games, But how

2141
01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:09,120
Speaker 4: much of those other games do you like to show

2142
01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:11,760
Speaker 4: them say, hey, look what Team EX did against Team

2143
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:13,760
Speaker 4: HY and let's not do that, or let's try to

2144
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:14,800
Speaker 4: do this, or whatever the case.

2145
01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:18,719
Speaker 5: Mater I love showing those clips is because there's teaching

2146
01:32:18,720 --> 01:32:21,160
Speaker 5: moments and things that we can learn from there where

2147
01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:24,000
Speaker 5: we don't want to put ourselves in a bad spot

2148
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:26,280
Speaker 5: if we can learn from other team mistakes.

2149
01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:27,080
Speaker 7: We want to do that.

2150
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:30,360
Speaker 5: So Friday meeting, we had a really we had a

2151
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 5: really good meeting on the two minute drive where a

2152
01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:37,360
Speaker 5: team defensively they just let the offense march down just

2153
01:32:37,439 --> 01:32:40,920
Speaker 5: because of defensive penalties and then the offensive team got

2154
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:44,200
Speaker 5: pushed back because of bad decisions and offensive penalties. And

2155
01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:46,880
Speaker 5: it was just a teaching moment. They're like, when we

2156
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:50,040
Speaker 5: go and we are in these crunch time moments, two

2157
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:53,760
Speaker 5: minute situations, like, let's just not hurt ourselves, right, if

2158
01:32:53,800 --> 01:32:56,160
Speaker 5: we don't hurt our sales, we have a chance. And

2159
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:58,720
Speaker 5: that was the teaching moment on this past Friday, And

2160
01:32:58,800 --> 01:33:01,400
Speaker 5: of course we have another big two minute to drive

2161
01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:04,200
Speaker 5: there and we did a great job of just methodically

2162
01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:06,840
Speaker 5: moving down the field without hurting our sales at all.

2163
01:33:06,920 --> 01:33:09,360
Speaker 4: All right, Amig Bank ask coach question of the week

2164
01:33:09,400 --> 01:33:12,000

2166
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:18,840
Speaker 4: team ten year old kids coach, So what advice would

2167
01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:21,400
Speaker 4: you have for youth league coaches here dealing with little

2168
01:33:21,439 --> 01:33:23,599
Speaker 4: kids trying to get them to play well but still

2169
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:25,840
Speaker 4: have fun and learn that kind of thing patience.

2170
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:29,240
Speaker 7: No, it's all about having fun for sure.

2171
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:32,519
Speaker 5: When my kids just started basketball as well, it's all

2172
01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:35,599
Speaker 5: about them just having fun and making sure the kids

2173
01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:38,639
Speaker 5: are just learn you know, a couple fundamentals of the game.

2174
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:40,960
Speaker 7: But the most important thing I think is kyd is

2175
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:41,679
Speaker 7: just having fun.

2176
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:45,800
Speaker 2: Having started my coaching career with middle schoolers from the

2177
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:50,840
Speaker 2: age of like twelve to fourteen, the absolute keys have fun.

2178
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 2: Sometimes that they're got a little too serious, but you

2179
01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:55,200
Speaker 2: gotta have fun. You gotta find ways to make the

2180
01:33:55,240 --> 01:33:58,160
Speaker 2: game fun. You gotta make competitive, and you gotta have fun.

2181
01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:00,960
Speaker 2: Now at the NFL level, you still gotta make it fun.

2182
01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:03,000
Speaker 2: You still have to make it fun in some way,

2183
01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:07,080
Speaker 2: shape or form, but a little different then, you know fun.

2184
01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:09,240
Speaker 2: As I put in air quotes, winning is fun. And

2185
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:13,040
Speaker 2: so winning on Sunday is a massively important deal for

2186
01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:15,240
Speaker 2: the Texans. Sitting at five and four, could get the

2187
01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:17,600
Speaker 2: six and four with the win. We know what that

2188
01:34:17,680 --> 01:34:19,479
Speaker 2: sets up the following week with the Jags, but we're

2189
01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:22,080
Speaker 2: not worried about that, worried about slowing down Kyler Murray

2190
01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:25,680
Speaker 2: and the Cardinals at NRG Stadium as they did in

2191
01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:29,840
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. The last time the Texans beat the Cardinals.

2192
01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:32,439
Speaker 2: Never beaten Kyler Murray, but they've only played him once,

2193
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:35,639
Speaker 2: so hopefully that will happen on Sunday. Big Thanks everybody

2197
01:34:50,040 --> 01:34:52,759
Speaker 2: we will see you one Sunday. Kickoff is at noon.

2198
01:34:53,600 --> 01:34:55,639

Speaker 2: you got the game at noon with Mark, Andre and myself.

2202
01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:06,759
Speaker 2: Let's go enjoy this one. Get in there be loud,

2203
01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:09,840
Speaker 2: get a dub for the Texans. That would be awesome

2204
01:35:09,880 --> 01:35:11,839
Speaker 2: to get to six and four and win over the Cardinals,

2205
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:15,080
Speaker 2: and it would give the Texans a winning record over

2206
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:19,360
Speaker 2: the NFC opponents for the first time in I can't

2207
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:20,000
Speaker 2: even do the math.

2208
01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:22,759
Speaker 1: I can't even go back that far. It's been that long.

2209
01:35:22,800 --> 01:35:24,559
Speaker 2: But it'll win over the Cardinals would make them three

2210
01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:28,600
Speaker 2: and two against NFC teams, which would be absolutely fantastic,

2211
01:35:28,680 --> 01:35:30,760
Speaker 2: so appreciate you guys listen, we'll see a Sunday, and

2212
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:31,959
Speaker 2: as always, go Texans.
