Speaker 1: in Kingwood and in those areas and areas. I didn't

Speaker 1: mention Splendora off I tan going east, man, I it

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: was it was you know, Harvey was was different in

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: a sense because we weren't here, and so I mean

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: we felt it, but it just we felt so out

17
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 1: of touch because we were up in Dallas. They wouldn't

18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: let us come back home, and this one we were

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: right here. We were all experiencing it, and it just

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: I kept seeing all the different tweets and videos and

21
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: I saw the cows on an Ian looking for a

22
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: dry place where they could graze, and I mean, man,

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: it just it brought me to tears. I'll be honest

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: with you. You guys know that I'm a relative emotional softy,

25
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: and it did. It brought me to tears to see

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: my city just be inundated like it was yesterday. I

27
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: was just I was so sad for for my people,

28
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: you know, here in Houston. So you guys hang in there,

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: and our thoughts are with you, guys, and hopefully you

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: can get back up on your feet quickly. I know

31
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people were impacted throughout the city. It

32
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: wasn't just the east and southeast side, but I know

33
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: that was where the majority of this thing hit. But

34
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: we're all thinking of you, I know. Coach Obrian mentioned

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: it in his press conference today, sending out his condolences

36
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: and thoughts to everybody and hopefully, uh And this was

37
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: a weird one because it felt like on Thursday when

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: I woke up, it's like, you know, kind of the

39
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: final yeah, the final remnants of this. It won't be

40
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: that bad, Like wow, I I mean I drove, I

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: drove through it in the morning and I'm just I'm

42
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: being surrounded by lightning and I got to the stadium

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: I'm telling you maybe ten minutes before it just unleashed

44
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: kind of in our direction, and it just it was

45
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: a weird. It was just a weird storm. And unfortunately

46
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter to those people that are dealing with

47
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: the flooding and dealing with the ramifications of the weather

48
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: that we had. So thoughts you with you, guys. There's

49
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: no question for me from Texans to all of you. Uh,

50
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: you guys, you guys are with us, uh at all

51
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: times and especially in times of needs. So I had

52
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: to get that out there. You know, as a Houstonian, Uh,

53
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: it hurts. It hurts a lot when my city's sort

54
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: of underseige, especially from something you have no control over,

55
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: something like the weather. So thoughts with you, guys. All right,

56
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: we're gonna jump into football. We got a lot to

57
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: do tonight. We got Justin Reid coming up the next

58
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: segment with our Deep sunt interview. The week I got

59
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: my first Community Credit Union, first glance keys of the

60
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: game coming up, I got my predictions for all the

61
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: games straight up and against the spread. And for some

62
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: people to hear that against the spread, well I do

63
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: that just as a way of talking about the game.

64
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you to go do anything that is

65
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: remotely gambling all that. It's just the way to talk

66
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: about the game. Really. Then Mark's gonna stop by and

67
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about this game. We're talking about the Chargers.

68
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: He might play the San Diego Supercharter song. I don't know,

69
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: maybe maybe. And then our final segment is gonna be

70
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: our player segment. So that means we got a little

71
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: beast card TV. We have got Final Word with Drew

72
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: Doherty and this week it goes to Carlos Hide. But

73
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: we're also gonna I'm gonna throw a little nugget in

74
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: there called My Football Story put together by my good

75
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: friend Tyler Suttarth, and he does such a good job.

76
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: If you guys are seeing the videos that our guys do.

77
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: Tyler Marcott and Tyler Suttarth, they're in the same office,

78
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: and I swear to you there's more just genius in

79
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 1: that office. And I always go there and I'm always

80
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm always busting their gut about something in there. But

81
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: those guys are like my little brothers man, and I'm

82
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: telling you they are unbelievable. They are unbelievable what they

83
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:32,559
Speaker 1: put together, and SuDS put together a new segment called

84
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: My Football Story. He's probably I think, done about ten

85
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: to twelve of them, and he unveiled one earlier in

86
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: the week that was justin Reid, and then he did

87
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: one on Julila Died. I figured, you know what, I'm

88
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: gonna play face the Chargers. Hearing Juli's story how he

89
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: got to Houston, going through the Chargers to get here,

90
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: I felt like it would be a good listen, and

91
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: then I watched it and listen to it today, I'm like, yeah,

92
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: this is gonna be good. So we'll have that in

93
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: our players segment as well. But we kick off every

94
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: Friday show with some hot reads brought to you by

95
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: a Geico fifteen miss can save fifteen percent or more

96
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: on car insurance. And each every Friday, the head coach

97
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: of Your Houston Texas Bill Brian, walks in the studio

98
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: with Mark Vandamer shares a few notes about what he

99
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: thinks about the game on Sunday. Coach, this has been

100
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: your first sort of normal week of preparation because you

101
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: had the opener, then you had the short week, and

102
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: here you go. How's it been for you. This week

103
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: been good. I mean it's it's been good to get

104
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: back in a normal routine, you know where We brought

105
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: him in Monday and reviewed the Jacksonville game and then

106
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: started implementing a little bit of the Los Angeles game plan,

107
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: and then Tuesday off and normal Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. So

108
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: it's been been good. Been good to get the players

109
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: back in a normal routine. I know you prepped specifically

110
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: for the Super Dumb when you went there. Now you're

111
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: going to a very different kind of place. What have

112
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: you heard about it? How do you get ready for

113
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: that environment? Yeah, it'll be different. I mean I think

114
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: the big the big differences, you know, probably crowd size

115
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: obviously is comes into play their relative to arcadence and

116
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: things like that. But I think the other big difference

117
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: is field surface. You know, I think we're going into

118
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: a place where I think a soccer game is going

119
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: to be played the night before, So I think our

120
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: guys have to really do a good job of having

121
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: the proper footwear on and making sure that you know,

122
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: they have good traction and they get over there early

123
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: and check the field out, because I think that'll be

124
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: the big, big difference. You look at the Chargers last week,

125
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: low scoring game, but they had a lot of chances.

126
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: They moved the football. Well, so what concerns you about

127
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: their offense? Yeah, they have good offense. I mean they

128
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: have a Hall of Fame quarterback and Philip Rivers very smart.

129
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: We've got to played the chess match with him. I mean,

130
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: he's a really smart guy. And they've got really good receivers.

131
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: They've got Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and Travis Benjamin

132
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: and they've got some guys and ecular the backs playing

133
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: good for him, you know. So they good offensive line,

134
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of weapons, and it's gonna be

135
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: a big challenge for us. You're a top five running

136
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: attack right now to the first two weeks, So what

137
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: are you looking to build on there? Yeah, I think

138
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: I think the running game has been good. I think

139
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: there's always room for improvement there. I think we've got

140
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: a good plan going in. We need to execute the

141
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: plan and call it properly and all those things. And

142
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: I think in the passing game, we've got to do

143
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: a good job of understanding how they're playing us. You know,

144
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: are they pressuring us, are they playing zone, making sure

145
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: everybody's on the same page. I think we've had a

146
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: good week here and I think our guys are ready

147
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: to go. It's gonna be challenging, but I know our

148
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: guys are excited about the opportunity. I always ask you

149
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: about special teams, so I'll ask you again, what about

150
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: that third phase? Yeah, Desmond King their returner, very strong returner,

151
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: punt returner could be back there on kickoffs. Really strong guys,

152
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: strong lower body, heart to tackle one on one, Gonna

153
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: have to gang tackle him, Gonna have to do a

154
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: good job against him. He's a very very good player.

155
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: And then you know they just they're very well coached,

156
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: they're very physical, they do a good job. You know,

157
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: they've been doing a good job for a while here

158
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: on special teams, and it's gonna be, you know, good matchup.

159
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: You were the number one team in the AFC last

160
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: year in turnover differential, and last week it took care

161
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: of the football. You got the big takeaway to set

162
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: up a touchdown. How do you practice that, How do

163
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: you preach that to your team to continue to do that? Yeah,

164
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: I think I think there's a lot of ways that

165
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: you try to do it. I mean it's hard, you know.

166
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: I think that you got to show it on tape.

167
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: You gotta show, you know, if you can bat a ball,

168
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: or you can you know, be in tight coverage, or

169
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, you can punch at the ball on a

170
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: ball carrier and try to get the ball out. That's

171
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: you're just showing them examples on film. Is big. I

172
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: think you have to practice it. I think you have

173
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: to really practice it every day. We try to practice

174
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: it every single day, and then on an offense, we

175
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: preach it all the time. If we take care of

176
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: the ball and we can take the ball away, we'll

177
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: have a real good shot to win games. I think

178
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: that's one of our philosophies. Coach, thanks a lot, good luck,

179
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: Thank you, Bennie. I am actually dumbfounded. Then on a

180
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: grass surface, they will play a soccer game the night,

181
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: not the afternoon, the night before an NFL game. I'm

182
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm dumbfounded by this, But what can you do about it?

183
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: They'll start the game at seven thirty. The Galaxy taken on.

184
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: I believe the Montreal impact I think is what it is.

185
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: Seven thirty game and then we got a one thirty

186
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: essentially one thirty local kick. Wow, I'm dumbfounded by this.

187
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: But maybe it's early enough in the year he won't

188
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: be that bad. But the Texans are gonna have to

189
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: adapt for and adjust for that. So we'll see how

190
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: that goes. But none you can do by it. Now.

191
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: You just got to play. I know people said one

192
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: of you. It's like John, you had three football games here. Yeah,

193
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: you're playing a field turf. You're gonna mess that fuel up.

194
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: You got soccer going all over the place. So hopefully

195
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: it won't be Hopefully it won't be horrible. It's just

196
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: the best I can say it. But you do definitely

197
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: have to deal with that. All right, Let's get to

198
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: our next hot read, and that is going to be

199
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: the injury report, because the injury report is something that

200
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: everybody likes to know on Friday because this tells you

201
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: who's in and who's out. That is I guess good

202
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: news for your Texans because when you look at that

203
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: injury report, only questionables. Now you've got one out of

204
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: this game. Everybody else is questionable. But that out is

205
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: on the charger side for your Texans. And there were

206
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: limited participants in practice. Taiwan Jones, snil killum Met Day

207
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: and then Laramie Tunsil. Those three are questionable for this game. Now.

208
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: Laramie did say after the game on Sunday and he

209
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: was planning I'm playing against the Chargers, so I hope

210
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: that's the case. But with ankles, you just I mean,

211
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: you never know, you absolutely never know. So we'll keep

212
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: an eye on that one out for the Chargers, Hunter Henry,

213
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: I think we expected that doubtful last week. He was out,

214
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: now he's moving. The doubtful is Michael Davis corner deal

215
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: with the hamstring, which means more than likely that we

216
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: will see Brandon face on at corner unless the Chargers

217
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: side to move Desmond King out there from his corner spot. Now,

218
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: Desmonds one of the better nickel corners in the league,

219
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: so I don't know if you want to move him

220
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: out and then put another nickel inside, I don't know. Well,

221
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: Michael Davis is doubtful, but he's been He was out

222
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: last week. Now he's doubtful, so I don't know. Maybe

223
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: he's moving in the right direction. But Keenan Allen, Michael Badge,

224
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: excuse me, Keenan Allen and Tavis Brown, Denzel Perry and

225
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: Mike Pouncey, Roder, Mike Williams. They were all full participants

226
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: in practice, so they're good to go. But Michael Badsley,

227
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: the kicker, is dealing with that growing issue. He is questionable.

228
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: So he fully participated in practice on Thursday and fully

229
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: participated on Friday. That's big because the Chargers need to

230
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: have their kicker back. Last week, Taie Long punter also

231
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: kicked made a field goal, but he missed two in

232
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: a three point game, So you can do the math

233
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: on that and see how that one went. So that

234
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: is your injury report. All right, our next hot read,

235
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: let's get too a little Yeah that's right, little Texas

236
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: audio jukebox, and let's go into the locker room today

237
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: to hear from a few of the guys. Let's start

238
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: with the Andre Hopkins, whose quarterback to Sean Watson, he

239
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: thinks is improving each and every day that he steps

240
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: out on that field. I feel like he's constantly growing

241
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,599
Speaker 1: every day. I don't feel like he's he's happy with

242
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: where he's at, and I don't think everybody in his

243
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: locker room feels like that. Like everyone can get better, Yeah,

244
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: no doubt. Deshaun DeAndre will Fuller Kenny Stills. They all

245
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: can get better, no, no doubt. Now they're pretty dart

246
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: good as it is. But I think everybody knows, Look,

247
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: I can bring a little bit more to the table.

248
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: And obviously DeAndre sees that in Deshaun. Now the game

249
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: is in a soccer stadium and people think, well, you

250
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: know the noise is right on top of you. Maybe

251
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: it won't be that loud because a smaller stadium. Hope says,

252
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: you know what, it doesn't matter what's the game starts,

253
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: ye stadium noise is pretty distant. Once you're out there

254
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: on the field, you know, you're kind of you holling

255
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: in You don't worry about it. But you know, just

256
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: being on the role playing a good team like the

257
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: charges Um, you know we have to make sure everything

258
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: is one point. His fellow receiver Will Fuller was asked

259
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: today about Kenny Stills. Kenny's been a fun player to

260
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: have around. He's made some big plays. I hope to

261
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: see him a little bit more on Sunday making some

262
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: big plays. And Will Floors said, I've already learned a

263
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: lot him. This guy, he just got here. You've seen

264
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: stuff in a different point of view, you know, especially film,

265
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, just coming from you know he's with the Saints.

266
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: You know, he's with Drew Brees. So I'm sure he knows,

267
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, some things that I didn't. But as as

268
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: far as like watch a film, that's the biggest thing. Yeah,

269
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: that's been pretty cool. When you have a guy Kenny

270
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: Steele who's been around, he's been with different quarterbacks, different schemes,

271
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: he she thinks differently and obviously having the experience with

272
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, that's gonna help him. So he shares it

273
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: with will I love that, absolutely love that. Now. One

274
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: of the storylines in this game, I think is the

275
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: secondary for the Chargers. That is a banged up group.

276
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: I just told you about Michael Davis, who is doubtful

277
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: at corner. They already lost Adrian Phillips, they lost Derwin

278
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: James and juliill Die who's one of the starting safeties

279
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: last year place for US. So what should the Texas do. Well,

280
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: hopefully they're gonna capitalize on that injured, banged up secondary.

281
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: I know they have a lot of injuries in a secondary,

282
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: so we're gonna really try to take advantage of that. Um.

283
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: Other than that they got they got some veteran guys,

284
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: so it'll be a good challenge. It will be a

285
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: good challenge no matter what, because every time you walk

286
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: in to the game and you think, oh, yeah, we

287
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: got this, we got this man the secondary is banged up.

288
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: Sometimes that comes back to haunt you. Hopefully that's not

289
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: going to be the case in this one. But I

290
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: like to see Will confident about what this group can do. Now,

291
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: let's hear from Laramie Tonsol talking about the rookie Tightest Howard.

292
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: They spent a lot of time together. Obviously they're over

293
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: on that left side together. He said, you know what,

294
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: tightus the student of game. I like talking ball with

295
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: this guy. I like when tyres asking questions man, because

296
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: I was in his position my rookie year, and he

297
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: reminds me just of me when huh because I used

298
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: to ask Brandon, Albert, Mikey possibly so many questions. I

299
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: know they probably got tired of me, But you know,

300
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: I love him when they ask questions meaning to care,

301
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: you mean to care about the game and want to

302
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: be great. Yeah, I love that, Absolutely love that. And

303
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: Larmy said old line bond Man. These guys are special,

304
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: closest group in football. Is the old line either. You know,

305
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: we just a close group. We always around each other.

306
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: It takes five to get the job done, so we

307
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: gotta be close. It's good Carlos Hide, he loves playing

308
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: in the system. I don't blame him. I mean what

309
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: he's doing, he's going north and south. This guy is

310
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: getting it done each and every time he walked run,

311
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: he walks on the gridiron handling a rock. Last week

312
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: twenty for ninety, let's hear from Carlos Hide in the

313
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: locker room. I don't mean to get north and south

314
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: and create create holes when there isn't nothing there and

315
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: just allow me to do myself in this game. So

316
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, I just like I said, I'm hungry. So yeah,

317
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like when I'm on FL I

318
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: just played freely and how fun with it. It's fun

319
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: out there, It is fun, and it's fun watching that

320
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: man run the rock. All right, we gotta get to

321
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: Justin Reid. So coming up, we've got our Deep Slant

322
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: Interview week presented by Axfinity. Justin Reid stoups By. He

323
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: talks about being an engineering student and of course that's

324
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: stop on letterd Fournette. Last week, coming up next, I'm

325
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: Texas All Access. Ever since Justin Reid arrived in Houston,

326
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: he has done nothing but make plays. One hundred and

327
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: one yard pick six against Washington, chasing down Antoniocallaway, forcing

328
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: a fumble in the game against Cleveland, turnover against Miami,

329
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: had to pick against Miami that led to a touchdown

330
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. But the stop that he had on

331
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: Sunday against Leonard Fournette is through sixteen seventeen, eighteen, nineteen games,

332
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: I think maybe the best play he's made, maybe the

333
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: most important play now. One hundred one yard pick six

334
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: was pretty darn important. That flipped a game going completely

335
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: the other direction. A team that again that was kind

336
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: of swapping punches if you will, completely went in the

337
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: other direction after Justin had that one hundred and one

338
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: yard pick six. But this stop on Sunday, this one,

339
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: this absolutely changed the game. Obviously, it's fourteen thirteenth, they

340
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: make it now the Texas still at thirty seconds and

341
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: a time out. They who knows what happens in thirty seconds?

342
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: Look what New Orleans was able to do, Look what

343
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: Chicago is able to do. And as a side note,

344
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: I was watching NFL Turning Point, which is a great show,

345
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: and were one of the segments was on the Bears

346
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: Broncos game and Matt Naggy showed the Texans Saints the

347
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: end of the Texans Saints game to his team and said, look,

348
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: this can happen. And they got put in that exact

349
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: same situation, like they watched the last minute of that game,

350
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: showing our drive one way and then their drive the

351
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: other way. And he showed that to his team and

352
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: he came to frustra for the Bears. So that's a

353
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: side note. And Turning Point, by the way, is a great,

354
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: great show. It's second the Telestrator, but you know it's

355
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: pretty good and gotta I gotta give him a philm

356
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: Films credit, you know. But that said Justin Reid with

357
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: the game winning play. He got to help up front

358
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: reader Blacks and Cunning and they did a great job

359
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: stopping Leonard's initial surge and then when he spuned, Justin

360
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: finished him right there. And I'm talking inches maybe an

361
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: inch from the goal line. Boy, it was close. It

362
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: was really close. Now why did I talk about Justin

363
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: Reid to start this segment, Well, it's time for a

364
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: deep slant Interview of the Week presented by Exfinity Tpcenter

365
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: was sitting down with the second year safety from Stanford

366
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: fellow Engine. You're in grad justin Reid big game against Jacksonville.

367
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: You came up with the stop. I know you've been

368
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: asked about it over and over again, but tell me

369
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: what you were actually thinking before the ball was snapped

370
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: that final play. Before the ball is snap, I kind

371
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: of expected him to give the ball to Leonard. You know,

372
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: he was their star player, their feature player. It was

373
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: Minshoe's first time playing in the game. If I was

374
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, I would have wanted to give the ball

375
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: to my star player as well, kind of take the

376
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: pressure off the young rook and let my star player

377
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 1: finish the game. And I was actually responsible for him

378
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: on that play. D line did a great job getting

379
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: excellent pushed, really pushing the D line back, giving him

380
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: only one place to go, and I made my job

381
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: easier to just go in and fill the gap make

382
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: a play. Yeah, I was gonna ask you about all

383
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: the moving parts that it took to sort of make

384
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: that play happen. How many times have you guys watched

385
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: it since the game ended to sort of break down

386
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: what everybody was doing. Yeah, I've watched it a couple

387
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: of times, and I like, we hear about it, and

388
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, and I get all the credit for it,

389
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: But this really was a team effort on that one play.

390
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: You know, I was just the one who was able

391
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: to make the tackle. But like I said, the d

392
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: line did a great job doing their job. The dbs

393
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: did a great job covering everything up to discourage them

394
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: from one to pass the ball and one of the

395
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: hand the ball off. Is really just a team effort.

396
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: All right. We talk about your rookie year, how much

397
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: success you had. It's year two for you. What is

398
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: that like for you? Expectation wise, it's kind of hard

399
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: to top the rookie year that you had. But how

400
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: do you sort of set goals for yourself and measure success. Well,

401
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, I get the build on top of what

402
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: I did last year. You know, I don't get I

403
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: get the start at where I was last year, built

404
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: on top of that. As far as mentally physically, I

405
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: get to come in just with a little more experience.

406
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: Now I know the defense a lot better, I know

407
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: my teammates a lot better. I'm a lot more comfortable now.

408
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: I get to be the guy making all the checks

409
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: and calls, and you know, my teammates rellowed me to

410
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 1: do that, and I feel like that's one of my strengths,

411
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: is really dissecting what the offense is doing formationally, what

412
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: their adjustments are, and just trying to come back that

413
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: and just you know, make some plays whenever they're presented

414
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: to me. We had Brendan Scarlett and the locker room

415
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: asking players questions. One of them was who would you

416
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: pick for a group project? Your name kept coming up

417
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: over and over again. Obviously could you went to Stanford?

418
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: But I saw somewhere that you had only picked Stanford

419
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: the night before that you had to declare, yeah, that's

420
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: that's actually a true fact. I picked it on signing day.

421
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: I was between signing day, Yeah, Stanford LSU on signing day.

422
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 1: I made the decision the night before. I woke up

423
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: and decided to go to Stanford. And there's a couple

424
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: of reasons why. Um first and foremost like my brother

425
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: was out there at the time playing with San Francisco U. Secondly,

426
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: Dwayne A. Keena, one of my favorite coaches of all time.

427
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: You just came from Texas. Long resume of guys like

428
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas, Kenny, Viccarroll Sage Griffin, Michael Hugh, and I

429
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: just wanted to feed off that experience that he had

430
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: to teach me. And then thirdly, I mean it's just

431
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: you know, the school, the opportunity that's there. You know,

432
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: the people you meet. I've I've gotten to sit down

433
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: with senators, were got to sit down with the CEO

434
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: of Google, met with the CEO of Yahoo. You know,

435
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: just get to meet people. Yeah, and your brother, like

436
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: you mentioned, he was out there playing for the forty

437
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: nine ers. You got to keep in touch with them

438
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: a lot over those four years, right, and usually you

439
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: got to actually he would watch would he watch your

440
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: film where you would watch? Yeah, I would go to

441
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: us how and I would watch his games. If we

442
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: both had a home game, we'd watch each other's games.

443
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: He would actually show me their tape of the week

444
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: before and break down what they did schematically, what their

445
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: keys were, what an NFL the differences between NFL offense

446
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: and the college offense. Like you won't see as much

447
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: the qb read because nobody wants to get their starting

448
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: quarterback hurt in the NFL. You know, you can't replace

449
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: them you know, so you just taught me those things

450
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: so that when I did come in last year, and

451
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: that's what really helped me be so successful is that

452
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like it was my first time going

453
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: through it now, even though that it was, I felt

454
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: like I've kind of seen a lot of it before.

455
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: Did you ever have time to go to his games

456
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: or do you have time to come to your games?

457
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: I know the NFL schedule sort of crazy like that

458
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: with college, but when did you guys actually get to

459
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: watch each other play? Yeah? Yeah, I love going to

460
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: his games. You know, he's send in the same section.

461
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: Really whenever we both had home games, it happened about

462
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: three times a year. You got to go sit and

463
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: watch him play. Well, you'd like to be playing him

464
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: in a few weeks. I know. Everyone asks what's the

465
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: game that you're looking forward to on the schedule, and

466
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: you've made like no bones about it. Yours is going

467
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: to be week for playing your brother, because that doesn't

468
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: happen now often the two brothers get the face would

469
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: be the first time that has ever happened for us. Yeah,

470
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: and it's so early in your career for year two

471
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: for you two to face each other like that, What

472
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: what has that been like for your family? Oh man,

473
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: everyone's really excited. My parents already have to split. Jersey's done.

474
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,239
Speaker 1: Um shoot, I'm trying to recruit as many tickets as

475
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: I can in the locker room. Right now. My list

476
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: is at thirty. Um, I feel like it's gonna go.

477
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: Might it might jump up a little bit higher? Um?

478
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: So you know, just doing that recruitment, you said that

479
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: that you might have a pretty big cheering section. But

480
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: is it going to be you think you have more

481
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: of a cheering section or you think Eric will I'm

482
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: the home team, it's gotta be. Is there more pressure

483
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: on him because he's older, because you're someone your second year,

484
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: but he's a veteran, So is there more pressure on

485
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: him to have a better game than you do? You

486
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: think we are both very competitive. We've already started our

487
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: competitive streak. We check how many tackles and how many

488
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: interceptions we had for the whole year, and we're like talk,

489
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: mess with each other the whole time, but it's all

490
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: in like good heart of this. I don't think there's

491
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: there's any more pressure on him to go and perform

492
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: than there is on me to go and perform because

493
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a standard that we both hold

494
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: ourselves too to go out and always put it put

495
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: our best on the field every time we step up.

496
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: How much do you guys help each other now or

497
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: how much does he help you now? In the NFL,

498
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: obviously you're not in a competing division or anything. Yeah.

499
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: And one of the cool things, one of the cool

500
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: things about that we're playing each other's divisions this year

501
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: is that I'm able to give him some notes on

502
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, Titans, and Colts, and he's able to give

503
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: me some notes on New Old, Yeah, on the NFC

504
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: South and all these teams in there. So you know,

505
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: it helps us with some tennessee some familiarity there. All right.

506
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: I know we've talked about you're engineering the degree that

507
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: you're getting at Stanford. Did I read correctly that you're

508
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: going to start maybe taking some classes locally to sort

509
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: of speed that process up, that you're going to go

510
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: to Rice? Yeah, so I'm allowed to take one semester

511
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: for local Rice fans by the way. Yeah, Yeah, So

512
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: I was I might actually do it this season, you know,

513
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: because I was thinking it'd be really good for me.

514
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: I really want to stay in Houston this year really

515
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: try and you know, spread my roots in here a

516
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: little bit more. Now I'm getting set into the city.

517
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: So maybe this offseason I'll go out and take some

518
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: classes at right like spring summer like that. Yeah, like

519
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: around the wintertime, well really right after the season ends,

520
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: whenever that is, hopefully it's not till summer. Is that

521
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: kind of nice for you? Because I mean school is

522
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: just such a drudge for a lot of students, but

523
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: for you because you you're focused so much on football

524
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: for part of the year and then to go to

525
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: school and get to focus on like something that's completely

526
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: different from what you do every sing or are you

527
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: just like more worn down by the time, because I

528
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: feel like I'm in a little grayer because I'm like

529
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: kind of like a half alumni kind of not you know,

530
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm still around the same age as a lot of

531
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: these kids. But at the same time, I get to

532
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: talk to alumni about you know, the real world and

533
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: things that I'm doing outside of school too, So it's

534
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting perspective. All Right, what's what's your

535
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: best class like in school growing up? Yeah? Favorite, so

536
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: on high school or in college. Let's do both okay. Um.

537
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: Growing up in high school, it was always a mathematics

538
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: I was always a big numb guy. That makes sense

539
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: for engineers. Don't ask me to write a paper because

540
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 1: I'd be really bad at it unless it's about math, right,

541
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: you know something that there's one answer to, you know. Um.

542
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: And then in college it was really this coding class

543
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: that I took, Yes One of six eight, which is

544
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: really just about introduction to coding. Um. Eventually that segued

545
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: into prediction models and that type of stuff. It's just

546
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: always really interesting to me. Maybe you can make your

547
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: prediction models for the NFL, like staffs analysis stuff like that.

548
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: Maybe down the road we'll see, all right, we'll see

549
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: good stuff. Thank you so much. Justin. I appreciate you guys.

550
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: That dude is just awesome. I just absolutely love the

551
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: guy and looks guys from players from Stanford. First of all,

552
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: I love David Shaw. David Shaw was one of my

553
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: favorite college coaches in the country. I've met her a

554
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: few times when he's coming to Bear Bryan Awards, and

555
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: he's just absolutely awesome and he produces just great players,

556
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: you know, Brent Scarlett, Peter Callum By Justin Reid. I mean,

557
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: the players have come out of Stanford, have meant a

558
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: lot to this team and love being around those guys.

559
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: And you'll hear more from Brent and Scarlett later a

560
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: little b scar TV letter in our players segment. But

561
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: when we get back, it's time for our first Community

562
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: Credit Union First Glance Keys to the Game. What do

563
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: I think about this one? And how will the Texans

564
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: get a win when they go to LA on Sunday?

565
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: How that for you? Next? Right here in Texans All Access,

566
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: what'll it take to beat the LA Chargers on Sunday? Well,

567
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked, because it's time for this week's

568
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: first Community Credit Union First Glance Keys to the Game. FCCU,

569
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: the Official Credit Union of the Houston Texans. Welcome back

570
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: the Texans All Access from the Honday Texans Radio studio.

571
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris. So let's dive into this

572
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: one and figure out how the Texans can beat Philip

573
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: Rivers and the Chargers on Sunday. So let's start with

574
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: the Texans defense, and we're gonna start with Rivers right

575
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: off the top. Number one. I thought about how to

576
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: write this, and I'm not sure exactly it came up

577
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: with the right way of writing this. But in getting

578
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: to play Rivers and having success against Rivers, you have

579
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: to try and show him something he's never seen. When

580
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: he looks gets a pre snap breed and he's like,

581
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: I know what y'all are in. He has the quickest

582
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: adjustment timing, I think is a quarterback that I've seen.

583
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: In other words, he knows what he wants to do

584
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: as soon as he recognizes it. There's a famous miked

585
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: up where I think he's playing the Raiders and he says,

586
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: y'all think that blitz gonna work. Y'all think that blitz

587
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: gonna work? And he just torched it. So how frequently

588
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: can the Texas defense put put pressure on Philip Rivers?

589
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: And how varied can they scheme up that pressure? In

590
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: other words, can they get pressure the middle? Can they

591
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: get pressure off the edges? Can they bring the nickel?

592
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: Can they double a gap muggers? Can one come and

593
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: then maybe one delay blitz? Like? How many different ways

594
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: can they get pressure on Philip Rivers? Now? The best

595
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: way is with a three or four man pressure and

596
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: maybe not even working games or twists or stunts or

597
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: anything up front you're just straight rush one on one

598
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: boom you win. That would be great in a three

599
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: or four man because then you drop seven eight in

600
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: the coverage, and that means you can double team Keen Allen,

601
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: you can bracken him, you can do a lot of

602
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: different things to cover him. So you take that, you

603
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: take that away hopefully, and now Rivers gotta hold the

604
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: ball a little bit. You guys are winning up front.

605
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: Now you're getting pressure that way. But if you got

606
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: to scheme it up with five or six, you've got

607
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: to spin the dial on him. You got to bring

608
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: some edge pressure. I saw a couple of things that

609
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: Texas were doing the other day against the Jacksonville Jaguars

610
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: that I kind of like, like, wait a second, I

611
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: like what rushing next to Jake Martin. But what you

612
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: could tell was that they weren't really used to working together.

613
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is a lot of

614
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: times in the past guys that rushed on the same

615
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 1: side of JJ that would sort of let JJ make

616
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: his move and then they would adjust, and which is

617
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: which is fine. It actually kind of turns into kind

618
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: of an indirect stunt really, because JJ will do his thing.

619
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: What you what happens though, is if you're not working together,

620
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: then you both jump out of your gap and it

621
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: leaves a huge room for the quarterback the run. Now,

622
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: Minsh you could take advantage of it. Rivers won't. But

623
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: how many different ways can you get pressure? I love

624
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: the overload blitz that they sent Garter Minshew last week

625
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: where Justin Reid came off the edge, they adjusted slid

626
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: to him, and then Zach blasted through the B gap

627
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: and nobody accounted for him. He gets right to Minshew sack.

628
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: That's the kind of thing you gotta have against Philip Rivers.

629
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: The one thing I would love to see though, more

630
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: than anything else, is can you get pressure in his

631
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: face those A and B gap blitz blitzes? Because he

632
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: won't beat you're on the edge. Where Philip could hurt

633
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: you is if you rush high or to the outside,

634
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: or you get funneled outside and then he's able to

635
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: step up where the center basically would be and now

636
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: he's got the whole field of vision and now he

637
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 1: can throw darts that way. But if you him him

638
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: in the well in the A and B gaps and

639
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: that's where the pressure comes from, he's got no escape plane.

640
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: He's not gonna dart around you like Deshaun could or

641
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew could. He's gonna have to deliver from that spot. Now,

642
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: he's brave and bold enough to do it. But you've

643
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: got to vary that pressure on him. He can't sit

644
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: there and go, I know that blitz and I'm gonna

645
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: eat that blitz up because I know exactly what to

646
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: do to it. You've got to spin the dial on him.

647
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: Number two. Have a plan for running back Austin Eckler.

648
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: Now it's easy for me to say, but I say

649
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: that because I think Eckler, because he's not Melvin Gordon.

650
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people would be like, it's

651
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: not Melvin Gordon. Austin Eckler's a really good running back

652
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: in the backfield. Out of the backfield, on pass routes.

653
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler is a tremendous running back, a tremendous offensive weapon.

654
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: They want to use him in a lot different ways.

655
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: I didn't tell straight. You'll see it on KPRC Game

656
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: Day two where Austin Eckler goes out wide. He runs

657
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: a double move on a safety and gets opened by

658
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: three yards and Philip just dropped it in a bucket.

659
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: To him, he's kind of a poor man's Alvin Camari.

660
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: He's not as big, he's not as strong, as not

661
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: as fast. But the way the Chargers would like to

662
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: use him, Eckler is a problem. Now. The Texans inside

663
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: linebackers have done a pretty good job, for the most

664
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: part handling those things, but they've got to have a

665
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: plan for him, and whether it's a similar plan to

666
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,239
Speaker 1: the way that they handled Kamara, I don't know if

667
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: you want to go that far, but you've got to.

668
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: You've got to defend him in a very similar manner,

669
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: which leads me to number three. When running back Justin

670
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: Jackson gets on the field, you better bring your big

671
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: boy pads because Jackson comes on the field fresh and

672
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: he's as good a number three turn number two running

673
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: back as I've seen. He runs hard. It's almost as

674
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: if he has one task. You carry the football and

675
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: you run like a stallion and you force everybody to

676
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: just bounce off of you, and that's what happens. He

677
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: breaks tackles, He is physic goal now. He hits the

678
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: hole very quickly, So you've got to be gap disciplined

679
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: and also you got to realize when twenty two goes

680
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: in the game, more like he's getting the ball, so

681
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: he'll get maybe eight to ten carries. He doesn't get

682
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: a ton, but they're gonna pound it with him. You

683
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: must treat him like Leonard Fournette because if you don't,

684
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna take a two yard run turn into nine

685
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: yard run. Because you're not a tacking well, number three,

686
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: number four, you got to spend a dial with your

687
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: coverage looks against Keenan Allen. Now, Alan will spend a

688
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: lot of his time in this slot because they've got

689
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: Travis Benjamin, because they have Mike Williams. They allowed Alan

690
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: to go inside. And there are some teams that don't adjust.

691
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers don't really adjust. They left a linebacker on

692
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: him basically most of the night because they just weren't

693
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: going to adjust. And the Chargers are like, well, we'll

694
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: take that, thank you very much. Alan had like fourteen

695
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: catches on him and just destroyed them in a big

696
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: win for the Chargers last year at Pittsburgh. You've got

697
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: to have a plan for him, whether that's Robi going inside,

698
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: whether it's some sort of bracket coverage you got kind

699
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: of in and out on him, somebody jamming him at

700
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, which you got maybe a robber

701
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: or a thief, plan over the top, whatever you have.

702
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen runs tremendous routes. Tremendous routes so to the

703
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: extent that you can't have two people in the vicinity

704
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: that have eyes on Alan because what looks like an

705
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: out route might turn into back to the inside. So

706
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: if there's a way to kind of play in and

707
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: out coverage on him, beat him up at the line

708
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: of scrimmage a little bit, disrupt the route if you can.

709
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: He's a big guy who doesn't He's not a blazer,

710
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: but he's fast enough and he works the sideline like

711
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: a champ. Keen Allen is a huge problem, but you've

712
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: got to spin the dial. What you'd like to be

713
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: able to do is have Alan look at the coverage

714
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: and go, I don't I'm not sure what it is.

715
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: Then he comes off the ball and he's still not sure, like, man,

716
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: what is this? So whether you use robbers, we'll use

717
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: rats or thieves, whatever that is. And what I'm saying

718
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: with that is a guy or two that's not designated

719
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: on a man, but essentially kind of hides out and

720
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna go steal the cheese. She kind of baits

721
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback. I always loved playing we called it Robber.

722
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: Always loved playing Robbert because I could kind of read

723
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback's eyes and I didn't have I didn't have

724
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: man responsibility. So maybe that's some of the stuff that

725
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: you use for Keen Allen and lasting certainly not least

726
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: let JJ Watt move up and down the line of scrimmage.

727
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 1: This is in offensive line that is banged up already.

728
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: Russell okuom starting left tackle. He's been out, he'll be

729
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: out for a little bit longer. Then you go down line.

730
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: Michael Skullfield is a tackle playing guard, and he probably

731
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: shouldn't even be either. Mike Pouncey is the best offensive

732
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: linement Chargers have. He went out of practice yesterday with

733
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: a hamstring. He didn't participate, so he's banged up. And

734
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: then you've got Dan Feeney, good player, not great. And

735
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: then you got Sam Tevy so well, I'm sorry, Skullfield

736
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: and Tevy playing the right side. Phoeni's on the left side,

737
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 1: so you've got trans Scott and left tackle Dan Feenie

738
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: at left guard, Pouncey in the middle, and then you

739
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: got Skullfield and Tevy, every single guy on that front

740
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: where JJ would line up guard, tackle, guard, tackle. He

741
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: can't whip repeatedly one on one. Now he lines up inside,

742
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: he should probably get some help. But knowing that you

743
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 1: can scheme it up so that JJ, if he's drawn two,

744
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: maybe even three guys, you're freeing somebody else up to

745
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: get to the quarterback. But if you're gonna put trans

746
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: Scott one on one on Whitney merciless, thank you. If

747
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: you're gonna put Sam Tevy one on one on JJ,

748
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: what thank you. I don't think there's any way the

749
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: offensive line can afford to do that. And if Pouncey

750
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: is banged up in this game, then you should be

751
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: able to rush from the inside. Has some success too,

752
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 1: But we'll see. Pouncey's a tough dude. Play Lakeland, Florida.

753
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: You come out of Lakeland, man, you're pretty tough. So

754
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: he'll have something, so I would expect him to play.

755
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on that one, but move JJ

756
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: up and down the line of scrimmage to get him free,

757
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: because I think you can scheme him up this week.

758
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: All right, flip it over to the Texans offense. It

759
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: starts number one by not letting Joey Bosa and Melvin

760
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: Ingram wrecked the game. Coach O'Brian talks about this all

761
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: the time. Don't let the game wreckers wreck it. JJ

762
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: is a game wrecker. The Chargers are saying the same thing,

763
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: don't let what wreck it. But they may not have

764
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: a choice. He may wreck it and let everybody else

765
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: do the cleanup. Bosa and Ingram are going to do

766
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: the wrecking. You've got to account for that. And now

767
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: hopefully you know Laramie is gonna be good to go,

768
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 1: and he'll be fine. I know he's dealing with the ankle.

769
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: But you get Boston Ingram under control, you can riddle

770
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: that secondary. Don't get to that in a second. How

771
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: about right now, key number two? Attack the side opposite

772
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: Casey Hayward. That was Michael Davis, or was supposed to

773
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: be Michael Davis. He's under out the free agent of

774
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. It's been Brandon face on

775
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: and he's been torched the last few weeks. That corner

776
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: side is not very good. What compounds that is our

777
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: next Key. They kind of work kind of one and

778
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: the same. The safeties for the Chargers last year. Let's

779
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: just take the playoff game for instance, Derwin James, Adrian Phillips,

780
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: and Jelilla Die. Darwin James on IR. Adrian Phillips just

781
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: won on IR and Jill Dies playing for your Houston Texas. Now,

782
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: Ray Shawn Jenkins did get time last year, but he's

783
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: one guy. There are two safeties, and then when they

784
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: go sub package, what are they gonna do. Obviously Desmond

785
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: King is gonna get that in sub package. He's a

786
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: pretty good nickel. But who plays the other safety? You

787
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: could potentially have a starting, undrafted free agent rookie at

788
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: the other safety, or a rookie that has not made

789
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 1: his way in the NFL yet this year Adderlie. Either way,

790
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: you've got an opportunity to attack the safeties and the

791
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: corner opposite Casey Hayward. I'm not saying that you avoid

792
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 1: Hayward altogether. I don't think you can ever go into

793
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: a game and say he's just taken away one other field.

794
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: He's not that good. He's a great player, but he's

795
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: not Dion Sanders. That's you know, that's the guy that

796
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 1: you would you would avoid. This team does not avoid

797
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: Jayalen Ramsey. It throws at Jalen Ramsey a lot. So

798
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: this team will throw at Casey Hayward. But you've got

799
00:38:55,360 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: opportunities all over the field. Take advantage of them. Now,

800
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: Keen Number four is pound the rock. But I say

801
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: that as maybe pounding the rock becomes the fugaise if

802
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: you will, because they know we're coming in with the

803
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: fourth ranked, fifth ranked run game in the league, and

804
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 1: we've been pounding it, and they know that Bill loves

805
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: to pound the football. But maybe that's the setup. We're

806
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: gonna low you in. Run it, Run it. Now we

807
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: have success with it. Hammer the hammer, the rock. It's

808
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a pretty hot day. Hammer the rock. Ken

809
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: the defense fresh, but they're gonna get to a point

810
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: where they sell out that they go single hot and

811
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: try and stop you in the run game and then

812
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: drop the hammer. Remember Rocky four when Apolo creeds fighting

813
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: Ivan Drago and there's a point where Apolo's lands and

814
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: jabs a couple of combinations and the Russia just kind

815
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: of taking him. Drago's just kind of taking it, and

816
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the trainer and the side is

817
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: just like Shoshnaya. I don't know, he evoked some sort

818
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: of vodka Creed or s then on Apollo Creed and Drago.

819
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: Just at least that's kind of the way. This might

820
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: be like Lulham out the run, lull him in and

821
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden drop the hammer and then

822
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: go to battle against those those safeties, those untested safeties

823
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: and an untested corner. Actually he's been tested, he just

824
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: failed to test and really exploit them. Well, that would

825
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: be fun. And last, it's certainly not least on the

826
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: offensive side. And these can kind of work together in

827
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: some sense. It kind of you know, the attacking through

828
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: the passing game, etc. Find this offense is inner drip

829
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: or swag or confidence or wherever you want to call it.

830
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: You know, some some people call it drip swag. I

831
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: don't know, like the swag by like drip better. But

832
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: confidence this team And I'll take you back to Green

833
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 1: Bay this summer there was I think of all the

834
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: periods against the lines, the Packers and preseason games, even

835
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: in the Saints game and the Jaguars game, there was

836
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: one time to me where this offense was just at

837
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: a level where you go. You can't stop that. You

838
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: can't stop that. And that was in Green Bay. And

839
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: what I remember about that was there was a moment

840
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: when the Packers were playing music like we knew a

841
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: practice and they were playing Walk a Flock of Flame

842
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: and they're playing Groce Street Party and guys in the

843
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: sideline are just dancing and it's a full on dance party.

844
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 1: Sean's bebopping scotting in the huddle like he's bouncing around

845
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,919
Speaker 1: a little bit. Gets the play call, boom, touchdown, next

846
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: play ten yard game, next play touchdown, next play touchdown.

847
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: It was like three out of four plays won in

848
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,919
Speaker 1: the end zone. It was like, this team has got

849
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: kind of a rhythm to it. It's got a swag,

850
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: and I think, unleash that. Play with that, don't don't

851
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: play can find, don't play tight, let it loose. Play

852
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: the way you are be the offense. You can be.

853
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: Find that inner drip, that swag, and then and then

854
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: play with it. Get a first down, slime season, you know,

855
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: you get a touchdown, you know, squad photo, whatever, But

856
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: find that that swag. You got the swag you unleashed

857
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: on green Bay that day, and unleash it and play

858
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: that way and play with that at all times. Say

00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 1: like to say, I gotta go to HR and find

873
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: that if that is in fact true, I don't even

874
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: know that. No. Yeah, I mean I say it every

875
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 1: now and again. But you, uh, you're a good boss.

876

878
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: want to win football games, and that's that's kind of

879
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: the uh that's the key to success. I think happiness

880
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: and mark I said this um earlier when I was

881
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: talking about my Keys to the Game, I said, one

882
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: of the things with this offense in particular, and I

883
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: don't I don't think the offense has been bad. I

884
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: do think in the second half the other day they

885
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: kind of kind of slugged through that second half. But

886
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: I feel like this offense has to that's the right

887
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: way of saying, like the old song, you gotta I

888
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,439
Speaker 1: gotta be me, I gotta be me, they gotta be them. Yeah,

889
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: the offense has gotta be them. And I'm people like,

890
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 1: what do you mean? I was like, they've got kind

891
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 1: of a you know, with Dashawan and DeAndre and these

892
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: running backs with will tight ends. I mean, they've got

893
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: a certain kind of what is the genestic qua, the swag, drip,

894
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 1: whatever you're gonna call it. Confidence. They're kind of best

895
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: when the kind of the music's flowing, the rhythm's going

896
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: through them, whatever you want to say. But I kind

897
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: of feel like they were a little bit buttoned up

898
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: in a second half and they and I don't know

899
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: what exactly it was, but I feel like they've just

900
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: got to be them. Let that kind of inner drip show,

901
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: like celebrate, dance around a little bit, have some fun,

902
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: smile just and I think that's the best way to

903
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 1: move the football. I go back to the trip to

904
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: Green Bay, and there was that one moment when the

905
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: music's cranked up and they've got dance party going on

906
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: on the sidelines, and I can see in the huddler

907
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: guys dancing the huddle, and then three of the next

908
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: four plays or touchdowns. It just feels like that's the

909
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: kind of team with the kind of music just flowing

910
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: in their head, that they're better that way than any

911
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 1: other way. They're not an F one fifty truck. Put

912
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: it that way. They're not an F one fifty sports car.

913
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: They're sports car that has that power that cranks up

914
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: the music and let's go. Yeah, you know, they're not

915
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: an F one fifties plown through everybody. They got a

916
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: kind of Ferrari Maserati sort of thing. Crank up the

917
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 1: music and let's roll. Well. I've got three things on this.

918
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: First thing is they really haven't played together. You know,

919
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned all those names and all the people and

920
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: all the faces and new faces and old faces and

921
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: putting it all together, and I just think they need

922
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: a little time to gel. Now. Second thing is this,

923
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they look pretty good in New Orleans overall,

924
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, under their I know it was kind of

925
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: like whoa, you know, tidal wave at the end with

926
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: the two play drive and but you had a running

927
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: game throughout. And I know they've stalled out a couple

928
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,839
Speaker 1: of times. Whatever, But against Jacksonville, Johnny, how about this one.

929
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: Jacksonville's pretty good. I'm watching them last night. I'm thinking,

930
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: I like this win now, this week two victory they

931
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: chose got and I'm not gonna complain about thirteen points

932
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: because I think that the Jags showed the Jag swag

933
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: last night. And I think that that's me thinking about it.

934
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: The team believes in Minshew. I mean you're seeing it.

935
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: The eye test is there. I'm not saying Minshew is

936
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 1: gonna be the next Tom Brady or anything, but I

937
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 1: think that this guy's going to turn into a quarterback.

938
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: And look at him, Johnny, he's third in the league

939
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: in completion percentage right now, he's seventh. I think he's

940
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: seventh or more in quarterback rating. I mean among guys

941
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: who actually play. So Minshew is off to a tremendous

942
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: start for them. And I know it's not all him

943
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: in some of its misdirection and bootlet. So what you

944
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: know that people have to respect Fournette and it's not

945
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: like Fournette's going nuts. Here's the other thing. When Teddy

946
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: Bridgewater started to play pretty well early on in his career,

947
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: you looked at the rushing totals. They had Adrian Peterson

948
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: still and they were running for a buck fifty a game.

949
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: Not to take anything away from Teddy, but that's a

950
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: quarterback's best friend to have that running game cranked up. Well, minshew,

951
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 1: hasn't they have the respect that defenses give Fournette. But

952
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: it's not liked to set the world on fire. No,

953
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: he had the big run last night, but that was one.

954
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: So to me, the Jags are better than expected. And

955
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: then I'll go to hey, it is early. Now, let's

956
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: go on the road and see what they can do

957
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: here against the LA Chargers because they have a tendency

958
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: I think to play well on the road. They like

959
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 1: being on the road. I think they kind of banded

960
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 1: together and bond together. I think last weekend, look if

961
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: short week coming off whatever that lost to the Saints.

962
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: They were fired up for the game, but they just

963
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: couldn't get going out of the locker room. You mentioned

964
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: second half. That first drive in the third quarter was

965
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: really clunky, and it was they just didn't look like

966
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,879
Speaker 1: themselves or how good they could be. Obviously, So let's

967
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: just see what happens here in the next few weeks.

968
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: Is they play together, get some continuity on that line,

969
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,760
Speaker 1: start to work together, and then you should see some results.

970
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: If you don't buy, then then maybe you have some issues.

971
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: Well that's what really kind of I thought about as

972
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: I was watching Gardner Minshew and I just I see

973
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: the Jacks sort of feeding off him and the guys

974
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: must dashed up and he's just smiling, laughing, had a

975
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: good time. And I thought back to the Sean's rookie year,

976
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: those six seven games that he played, and I just

977
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: remember the vibe was, man, this kid can do anything. Man,

978
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: this is fun. This is really this is really fun.

979
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: And I felt like against the Saints there was that,

980
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to say, back against the wall I'm

981
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: in towd. I don't think it was that, but I

982
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: think it was we're improved to a nation that we

983
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: could play. Yeah, and we could play. Yeah, we just

984
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,720
Speaker 1: add Laramie and we got these two backs that nobody's

985
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: ever seen in a Texans uniform. But we got some

986
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: dudes that could play. And I think they sort of

987
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: played with that when they got against Jacksonville's like, look,

988
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:39,320
Speaker 1: you know, coach said to me at half time, He's like,

989
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: Johnet has the top five defense in the league. And

990
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: in the first half we just browbeat him, I mean

991
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: physically knocked them off the ball. And then the second

992
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: half got started kind of clunking. You think, going back

993
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 1: to kind of my my fine tuned machine analogy, it's

994
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: like when you have a Ferrari that's just losing a

995
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: lug nut, you, I mean, that shuts the whole thing

996
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: down four to one. Fifty is like, well that's fine.

997
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't have nuts. I got four tires. I'm in

998
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: an edgine. I'm good. But I feel like they're just

999
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: watching the Jags. There was this kind of emotion, kind

1000
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: of happy emotion. I don't know the right word is

1001
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: the right word, but it's like they're they got behind mints.

1002
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: You like, the defense looking at it, going, hey, boys,

1003
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: we got a quarterback. Look at this, we got a

1004
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: quarterback we could play. I'll give you another. I'll give

1005
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: you another one. All right. So when camp began, training

1006
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: camp begins, I'm gonna tell you, Okay, the Jags are

1007
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: wanted two. You'll say, all right, whatever, Yeah, I'll tell

1008
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 1: you the Titans are one and two, and you'll say, well, really,

1009
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you they're one and two and you'd figure, well,

1010
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: they probably lost to Cleveland, and they probably lost to

1011
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck and the Colts at home, and they beat

1012
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,959
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. That's what you might think if I told

1013
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: you they're gonna be one and two after three games.

1014
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 1: This goes to show you all. You know, we talked

1015
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: for seven months in the off season, and it means

1016
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 1: nothing when you get to these real games. But the Titans, Johnny,

1017
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: they blast Cleveland on opening days, spoiling the coming out party,

1018
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: and then they lose to two quarterbacks that were not

1019
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: starters when training camp began. How about that? You lose

1020
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: to Jacoby Brisset at home, and then you lose to

1021
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,879
Speaker 1: Gardner mentioned in the division in the US, and you need,

1022
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: like last night, you need this one bad. And the

1023
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: Jags defense was a tsunami on the Titans offensive. Attack.

1024
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean it was overwhelming to them, the job they did.

1025
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: That's what makes me feel better about Hey, you were

1026
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,760
Speaker 1: able to run the ball against those Jaguars. And Watson

1027
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: wasn't inflating the rushing stats with with high carbohydrate quarterback runs.

1028
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: This was pure ProTem. It really was. It was offensive

1029
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: line running backs smacking them around, creating holes, making hay

1030
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, the Titans gave up nine sacks.

1031
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: Nine Oh my god, they're not all on the it's

1032
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: a lone. I will tell you that Marcus Mariota's pocket

1033
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: awareness is like a negative five. He doesn't It's like

1034
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: there are times where he gets rid of the football

1035
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: way earlier he should have, and then there are times

1036
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: where he holds onto it way longer he should have.

1037
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: And it fun interesting because at the end of the

1038
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: night he's got well, he threw for three hundred plus yards.

1039
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 1: We get through for three hundred plus yards against US

1040
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: two on a night they scored seventeen points yea, and

1041
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: he completed I think it was seven third down passes

1042
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,839
Speaker 1: that didn't go for first downs? Yeah, what's that tell him?

1043
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: That inflates I mean, it's that sounds very David talking

1044
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: about empty calories. That's what that is. Yeah, yeah, I

1045
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: mean stats don't mean everything that way. And if you

1046
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: have him in your fantasy team that the yardages will

1047
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,439
Speaker 1: show on you. If you got him on your fantasy team, well, look,

1048
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: I talked to somebody the other day who has one

1049
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 1: league with Breeze and one league with Roethlisberger. So it

1050
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: sucks to be him. Oh my gosh, But what are

1051
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Yeah, that's fantasy football happens. I know

1052
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: that the Times, playing a short week, had to travel.

1053
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,359
Speaker 1: I get all that. Just played Colts and I get

1054
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: all that. I wish we'd played the Titans soon. Oh yeah,

1055
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: but you play them the last three weeks of the season.

1056
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you're hoping here that the Bucks and the

1057
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 1: Titans they're done by them. But I can't say the

1058
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: Titans will be done because it will not. They will

1059
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: play hard. They're gonna play hard. You're right, And they

1060
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 1: have talent. We know it. They have Derrick Henry, they

1061
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 1: have talent. They beat some good teams last year, they

1062
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: had a winning record. It is not over by any stretch.

1063
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: I'm not, and I don't want the listeners to think

1064
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm writing them off. I'm just saying that it's a

1065
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: very rocky start for them, considering you lost two divisional

1066
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: games this way and you know you're off you go

1067
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: and you're gonna try to rectify that. Look, the Texans

1068
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:39,760
Speaker 1: began oh in three last year and won the division,

1069
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: so anything's possible. But it's a very interesting division. Now

1070
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: you have the Colts with Jacoby Brissette who beat the

1071
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: Titans nineteen seventeen. Rallied the Colts to take the Chargers

1072
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: into overtime before they lost, and now they're at home

1073
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: to Atlanta this weekend. I mean, this is every week

1074
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL is just so riveting. It is so

1075
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: exciting to see what's going to happen in these games

1076
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: the red zone channel that you know, obviously the Texans

1077
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: game is the most important one to us, but how

1078
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: these other teams play is important. And I'll tell you

1079
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 1: what else. This being an AFC team that you're facing

1080
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: this weekend. I mean, this is big for a variety

1081
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: of reasons, being an AFC team if it comes down

1082
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: to those AFC tie breaking possibilities, Because the Chargers are

1083
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty good, you think. And then the other

1084
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: thing is this they beat the Cults. So this turns

1085
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: out to be a common opponent and you really want

1086
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:33,240
Speaker 1: to do well against them. Yeah, no question. But this division,

1087
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: the one thing I know that I'm a thousand percent

1088
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: sure about is it is physical. With Saxonville now back

1089
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, with the way that we play, the Titans

1090
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: do play physical if nothing else, they'll play physical and

1091
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: the Colts will get after you upfront. This is this

1092
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 1: is a this is the old Black and Blue Division.

1093
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: You will get beaten up when you play games in

1094
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: the division. Think about the division games at this point.

1095
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: Last night was twenty to seven, right that, I think

1096
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: that was twenty to seven, thirteen to twelve, we won,

1097
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 1: nineteen to seventeen Colts Titans. Oh that's a really good point.

1098
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 1: The three division games have all been like that way,

1099
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 1: all twenty or less. Yeah, oh, good point. And that again,

1100
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: that's why I don't feel like you should never feel

1101
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: bad after a win of any kind really, unless you

1102
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 1: lose a star player. But you shouldn't feel bad about

1103
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: the low point total on Sunday this past game because

1104
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: you were able to win. You made the big stop

1105
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,280
Speaker 1: at the end, and obviously you want to play better offense.

1106
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: But let's see what they can do here. I mean,

1107
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:43,800
Speaker 1: no question, Colts a point and a half favorite over Atlanta.

1108
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,359
Speaker 1: I thought that was a little low, a little low,

1109
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 1: A little low, you mean little would have been favored

1110
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: by three or by three three and a half. Atta

1111
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: be pilly, I know they did. That's why I can't

1112
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: figure out. But they're in consistent. Maybe they lost to Minnesota,

1113
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: which they're getting, only they lose the Minnesota Minnesota through

1114
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: it only ten times. They just ran all over Atlanta.

1115
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: So the Colts can run the football, and we'll see

1116
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: if they do it against them, and they're gonna be

1117
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:16,359
Speaker 1: at home. Look this again, that game's gonna tell us something,

1118
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: although I don't know what Atlanta is gonna tell us

1119
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 1: because they are inconsistent historic like last year they were

1120
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: inconsistent right and then and you know, they're the one

1121
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: team to lose the Super Bowl after being up twenty

1122
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: eight to three and they lose, I mean, my goodness,

1123
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: losing it overtime. So let's just see how that one

1124
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: shakes out. And they're gonna be here in what two weeks?

1125
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,320
Speaker 1: They have Carolina next week, Atlanta the week after that.

1126
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: This is gonna be interesting. Yeah, It is gonna be interesting.

1127
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's even more interesting. Check out the Jaguars schedule.

1128
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: The Jaguars next week. They've got the Mini buy obviously

1129
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: this weekend. Then they go to the Broncos, to the Panthers,

1130
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: both teams own two. Then they get the Jags minus

1131
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: Drew Breeze at home. Then they go to the Bengals,

1132
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: then they get the Jets at home before going to

1133
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: London to face US. Oh, they could get really well here.

1134
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 1: They could get well on playing as well as they

1135
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: did last night. They could get well, That's what That's

1136
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: the other thing I was thinking about last night. I

1137
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: was thinking, this London game looks a little prickly from

1138
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: a distance here. Hello, Yeah, but yeah, let's I want

1139
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 1: to cross that bridge, cross that bridge, cross that ocean

1140
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: when we get to it. All right, you heard Mark's

1141
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: prediction on Atlanta versus Innapolis. What's my prediction for Intlanta

1142
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: versus Indianapolis? To give you that plus the thirteen other

1143
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: games that will take place this weekend right here in

1144
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: Texans all Access. I'm talking right now to everybody, but

1145
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:42,600

Speaker 1: a little bit? You want to get your kids attention

1149
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,800
Speaker 1: with math instead of he can't do math. Math is

1150
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,879
Speaker 1: so hard. Look, I've heard every excuse in the book

1151
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 1: having taught math. You need to sign up Petro's Math

1152
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: DRO's presented by Conico Phillips. Toros Matros is a video

1153

Speaker 1: series designed to help third fourth graders learn how to

1154
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: tackle math in the classroom. Go to Houston Texans dot

Speaker 1: they will learn math that much easier and quicker. Trust

1158
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: me on that I have been there. As soon as

1159

1161
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: have them forever. That's how you can teach math to them.

1162
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: So sign up for Toros Matros, presented by Conico Phillips.

1163
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: All Right, welcome back to the show from the Hounday

1164
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: Texans Radio studio. I'm your host, John Harris, and it

1165
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: is time to make my predictions. I do this every

1166
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: single week. I pick every game in the NFL straight

1167
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 1: up and against the spread and against the spread. I'm

1168
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 1: not telling you go to Vegas and put all your

1169
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: money down. That's foolish, but it's a good way to

1170
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: talk about the games. And this week we have two games,

1171
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 1: two that have twenty two point spreads that I've I

1172
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: can't remember the last twenty point spread before the two

1173
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: thousand and seven Patriots. Two thousand and seven Patriots had

1174
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: some twenty point spreads and vetters got burned by going

1175
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: with the Patriots on those. I don't know if you're

1176
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: getting burned with these this early in the season. But well,

1177
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: we'll get to those in just a second. But I

1178
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: need my music, maestro, please there it is NFL Films

1179
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: music r I P to the sables. They started all this,

1180
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 1: and thank you very much. Okay, we're gonna start in Buffalo,

1181
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: where maybe the most surprising two and o team, the

1182
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Then you step back and you go, Okay,

1183
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: the Bills beat the Jets, had to come from behind

1184
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: to do it, and they beat the woe begone Giants.

1185
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: But they're two and oh. They dominated East Rutherford went

1186
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: to East Rutherford back to back weeks, got the wins,

1187
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: and now they get the Bengals. The Bengals got hammered

1188
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: last week by the forty nine ers. I don't want

1189
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: to say that NC had come with Cincinnati. I just

1190
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: was I was kind of fooled. I think we all

1191
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 1: were like, wait a second. They went off the Seattle

1192
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: and lost by one and played their guts out, and

1193
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna come back and play pretty well. Did not

1194
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: play well, did not play well at all. Aj Green

1195
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: is seemingly further away and coming back it's gonna be

1196
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: a while. Buffalo is a six point favorite. I'm gonna

1197
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 1: lay the six. I'm taking Buffalo to win and cover

1198
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: up in Orchard Park. One of those twenty two point

1199
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 1: spreads comes in the next game. The owing two Dolphins

1200
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: going to Dallas to take on the two no Cowboys,

1201
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 1: and look here, Josh Rosen gets the start against the Cowboys.

1202
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: Oh God, I set a small prayer for Josh Rosen.

1203
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: You talk about tough situation for a first round pick.

1204
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Last year, he gets to play behind that offensive line

1205
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: of Arizona, and now he's gonna play behind that offensive

1206
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: line in Miami. I'm tempted to do it, and I

1207
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: think I'm going to the Cowboys are a machine at home.

1208
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 1: The Cowboys will win and cover that twenty two and

1209
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 1: a half. There's a rule in the NFL says when

1210
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 1: you get twenty two and a half points to take him,

1211
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. Rosen's gonna be running for his life.

1212
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna do everything possible to keep them

1213
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 1: in a game, but it's not gonna happen. The Cowboys

1214
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: will roll big. Packers take it on the Broncos. Oh,

1215
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: with two Broncos, I think that was expected two and

1216
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: old Packers. After games with the Bears and Vikings, I

1217
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: thought maybe a split start the year. Maybe, but I

1218
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 1: was like, man, they get a split, they had to

1219
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: be the Vikings. I think the Vikings are gonna be

1220
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: pretty good. But they beat the Bears on Thursday that

1221
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: to open a year. They were up twenty one and

1222
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 1: nothing on the Vikings before the Vikings did anything at all.

1223
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: One of that game twenty one sixteen. The Packers at

1224
01:00:58,240 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: home are seven and a half point favorite. I don't

1225
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 1: like the hook on this one a half, so I'm

1226
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Packers to win. I think the

1227
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 1: Broncos will play hard. Vic Fangio he knows defense. The

1228
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 1: defense will keep them in a game. The Packers There's

1229
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: still not all the way there offensively, so I think

1230
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: they keep it close enough. But boy, that Packers defense

1231
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: is good. This feels twenty to thirteen, twenty to sixteen,

1232
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: sixteen to nine, a seven point victory top. So I'm

1233
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Broncos to cover Packers to win.

1234
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 1: Falcons Colts. The Colts are favored by one and a half,

1235
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 1: which essentially means Vegas looks at this as a toss up.

1236
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 1: Now I want the Falcons to win, but the Colts

1237
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 1: are playing at home for the first time all year.

1238
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: They split. They lose it over time to Sanity San

1239
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 1: Diego to La. I went all weak, not Saint San Diego.

1240
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: Now I'm saying it. They lost that close to La.

1241
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 1: Then they went to Tennessee and beat the Titans, coming

1242
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 1: from back from behind and win that game. I think

1243
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: the Colts winness, I hate say it. I think the

1244
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: Colts win this. They get to Tune one, they go

1245
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 1: a top the division. Hopefully the Texans will join them,

1246
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: but the Cults are gonna get the win and the

1247
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 1: cover over the powerful Atlanta Falcons coming off that Sunday

1248
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 1: night win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Matchup of the day

1249
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: of two and oh teams, Ravens going to the Chiefs

1250
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: now Last year, this game went down to a fourth

1251
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: down play at Tyreek Hill made on a throw from

1252
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes that was just otherworldly. They don't make that throw.

1253
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 1: The Texans end up getting a by crazy as that seems,

1254
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 1: but he didn't make that thrown. Hill made that catch.

1255
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: The Ravens offense putting up numbers that maybe a lot

1256
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 1: of people didn't expect. Now it's been against the Dolphins

1257
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals. To take it with a grand of salt.

1258
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City's favored about five and a half. I think

1259
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 1: kans City wins this game. I think kanaser Hey gonna

1260
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 1: win by touchdown. So I'm going Chiefs to win and

1261
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: to cover that five and a half. Raiders and Vikings

1262
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: are both one and one, playing in Minnesota where Minnesota

1263
01:02:56,880 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 1: last Atlanta last week ugly against the Packers, but playing

1264
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: at home running the Rock. I think the Raiders came

1265
01:03:04,360 --> 01:03:06,439
Speaker 1: back down to earth a little bit in that second quarter,

1266
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: in particular against the Chiefs. They've shown some life on defense,

1267
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 1: shown some life, but I think the Vikings defense will

1268
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: give the Raiders some problems. I think Minnesota's gonna end

1269
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: up winning this football game. But nine points is too much.

1270
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 1: Take the Raiders to cover and get inside that nine.

1271
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 1: But Vikings to win. Jets and Patriots, this is your

1272
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 1: other twenty two points spread. Let's make this one easy.

1273
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:32,919
Speaker 1: Patriots to win and cover the twenty two. This could

1274
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: get really really ugly. Lions go to the Eagles the

1275
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 1: one oh and one lines. Lions beat the Chargers last

1276
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: week thirteen to ten. Defense played opportunistically. I don't think

1277
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: they played great, but they played opportunistically and he got

1278
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 1: The Eagles started off the year with a big win

1279
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: over the Redskins, then lost last week to the Falcons.

1280
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: Let's say about an inch. That was more than that,

1281
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: but they didn't come up with a first down to

1282
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 1: throw the accurts. They got stopped just before the first

1283
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 1: Albu marker. The Falcons got to win. Eagles are favored

1284
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 1: by six at home. I think the Eagles will win

1285
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,439
Speaker 1: this by ten or more. I think the Eagles will

1286
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: start to kind of find a groove. This is where

1287
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 1: it starts. Eagles to win and cover that six. The

1288
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: Cardinals and the Panthers. Who will it be? Kyle Allen,

1289
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 1: cam Even I gotta feeling this, Kyle Allen going against

1290
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's former team at A and m. Oh it's

1291
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: a little grudge match when they were at A and M.

1292
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 1: I don't think the two liked each other. But that's

1293
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 1: just my impression of that whole situation. It was not great.

1294
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 1: But playing at home, Arizona's favored by two and a half.

1295
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: Caroline is a better overall football team, and I'm gonna

1296
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: trust that that the Panthers get to win, and obviously

1297
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: we'll get to cover. So let's go Panthers to win

1298
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 1: and get inside the two and a half. So even

1299
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 1: if Cardinals win by one or two, I get a

1300
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 1: victory with that. But I'm going Panthers to cover. Cardinals

1301
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: Panthers to win, alright. Sorry Giants and Buccaneers, Oh God,

1302
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: Daniel Joe will start against the Bucks. Tampa Bay is

1303
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: favored by six, and probably some of that is because

1304
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 1: Jones are starting for the first time. I don't think

1305
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 1: the John's are a very good football team. They are

1306
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 1: sae Quon Barkley and a bunch of guys, to be honest,

1307
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with the Bucks. They're gonna win

1308
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: one ugly twenty one, seventeen, twenty three, twelve, something like that.

1309
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: I think the Bucks to win in to cover on

1310
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 1: this one. I think the number, this number is set perfectly.

1311
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 1: That's six seems really about right. So I'm gonna go

1312
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 1: with Tampa Bay to win. And because I gotta make

1313
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 1: a choice, I'm gonna give him cover. I'm gonna say

1314
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 1: they win by seven. Texans Chargers. You know where my

1315
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 1: head is on this. I can't go against my head,

1316
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: my heart. So Texans are a three point underdog, essentially

1317
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 1: Vegas saying that the Chargers are a hair better than

1318
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:49,920
Speaker 1: the Texans find out on Sunday. But I'm taking Texans

1319
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 1: to win. Obviously. Steelers, after an O and two start,

1320
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 1: go to San Francisco, San Francisco six and five. The

1321
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 1: Steelers will start Mason Rudolph, but they gotta go out

1322
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: to the West coast this one. I'm conflicted because I

1323
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 1: feel like the Steelers are kind of in that circle,

1324
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:11,240
Speaker 1: the wagon mode, this is this is the time. But

1325
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers walloped the Bengals last week, just

1326
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: smashed them, and they beat up on the Buccaneers with

1327
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: some defense the week before, so defense sort of won

1328
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 1: the game Week one, offense took over the week two.

1329
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 1: I think the Niners are kind of a scary team.

1330
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers will play hard with Mason Rudolph.

1331
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:31,760
Speaker 1: Like the six and a half is too much for

1332
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 1: San Francisco, but I'm gonna go San Francisco to win,

1333
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 1: but a close one. So Pittsburgh gets inside the six

1334
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 1: and a half, but the forty nine Ers get the win.

1335
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 1: Saints go to the Seahawks after LA. They go up

1336
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 1: the coast, but now they start Teddy bridge Hill some

1337
01:06:47,600 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 1: who they start. I think you're gonna see both taston

1338
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:51,920
Speaker 1: Hill and Teddy Bridgewater. The Seahawks are gonna have to

1339
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: prepare for both. Saints are a good football team with

1340
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: Drew Briefs plays. They did not put up points the

1341
01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 1: other day with Teddy Bridgewater. That's a little serning. The

1342
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: Seahawks are kind of all over the place, but went

1343
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 1: out to Pittsburgh last week and gotta win. Knocked I

1344
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 1: don't know they really knocked Ben out of the game.

1345
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 1: Ben was already kind of He didn't get hit, He

1346
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 1: just hurt the elbow. That's been bothering him, but he

1347
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 1: went out of the game. That held Mason Rudolphin check

1348
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 1: got twenty eight twenty six win on the road going

1349
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: back home. It's a tough place to play. Seattle will

1350
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 1: make it miserable for Bridgewater Hill. I think the Seahawks

1351
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 1: get to win and they cover that four and a

1352
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 1: half point spread. Rams and Browns on Sunday night. Rams

1353
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 1: are favored by three. Browns got a little bit of

1354
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 1: confidence against the Jets. That might be false confidence. The

1355
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:38,919
Speaker 1: Rams are coming in having beaten the Panthers on the road,

1356
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: hammering the Saints, knocking Drew Brees out of that game.

1357
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 1: I think the Rams are gonna win this thing. I

1358
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 1: still think the Browns are not quite there. The Jets

1359
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 1: were rolling the Dice blitz in, they missed coverages in

1360
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: the back end. The Jets not a very good football team.

1361
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 1: The Browns should have beat them by forty and didn't.

1362
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 1: Don't know if I take a lot out of that,

1363
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 1: but I just don't think the Browns are playing exceptionally well.

1364
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: So I'm going with the Rams. Aaron Donald's a little

1365
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 1: banked up in this one, so I'm a little worried

1366
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: about that. But I'm gonna take the Rams to win it,

1367
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: to cover that three on Sunday Night in Cleveland. I mean,

1368
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland's gonna be raucous, but I'm still going with the

1369
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 1: Rams to win that one and cover the three Bears

1370
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 1: Redskins on Monday Night. Oh God, that's our Monday Night game,

1371
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 1: the Bears and Redskins. Oh this is brutal. Yikes, Chicago

1372
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,560
Speaker 1: favory by four, I'll lay the four. I'm taking the

1373
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 1: Bears to win and cover. I mean it might be

1374
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,679
Speaker 1: seven to nothing. I don't know the Redskins are gonna

1375
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,799
Speaker 1: scrawl that much against the Bears. I don't see that happening.

1376
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 1: But it's in Washington. Washington usually plays pretty well Monday

1377
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 1: night at home, but I just don't know if they

1378
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 1: can score against the Bears. So I'm going Bears up,

1379
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 1: Bears to win and cover the four, because Hurricane Dicco

1380
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 1: would say so. So there you go. All right, those

1381
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 1: are your prediction, straight up and against read. You can

1382
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 1: keep track of that and see how poorly I did

1383
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Because the NFL, especially early on in NFL,

1384
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: you can't get a read on anything anything other than

1385
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:10,600
Speaker 1: the fact that there are a couple of teams that

1386
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: are dreadful that will not cover twenty two points. Friends,

1387
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 1: this week, that's about what you know. So there you

1388
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 1: go your predictions for this week. Now we get back.

1389
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:22,640
Speaker 1: It's our players segment. We got a lot for you.

1390
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 1: We've got Player Reporter sponsored by Arctic, a little be

1391
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:28,679
Speaker 1: scar TV. We've got My Football Story and I picked

1392
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 1: it this week because I think this is a big

1393
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:33,679
Speaker 1: week for a guy named Jalil A Die. He's going

1394
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: back to face the team where he was for six years.

1395
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 1: I'd imagine a lot of emotions for him. But a

1396
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 1: great video segment we have that my buddy Tyler Suttart

1397
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,720
Speaker 1: did called My Football Story. He tells us football story.

1398
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good one. So we'll have that for

1399
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 1: you and then the final word with Drudeherty. This week

1400
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:52,600
Speaker 1: it's Alapo Carlos Hide. We'll have all that for you

1408
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 1: So hopefully you're there, and I would tell you to

1409
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 1: where red where red red to me stands out also too.

1410
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 1: That's the other thing I said this. The other night,

1411
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 1: I was watching Georgie of Vanderbilt first game of the

1412
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:38,759
Speaker 1: year in Vandy in Nashville. It looked like a Nashville

1413
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:42,759
Speaker 1: home Nashville road game. It was red all the way throughout.

1414
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:44,680
Speaker 1: All the Bulldogs had gone up to Nashville, and I mean,

1415
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 1: Nastionll is probably a great trip to take for us

1416
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 1: to see fans. It's really the biggest city that you're

1417
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:51,680
Speaker 1: gonna go on a trip. And it's week one, so

1418
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 1: you go see your dogs take on Vanderbilt, and you

1419
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: just load it with red, and it looks great on television.

1420
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 1: That's the other thing. Looks great on television. Go fill

1421
01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:03,519
Speaker 1: up this bandbox with a bunch of red, even though

1422
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,720
Speaker 1: the Texas will be wearing blue. I believe blue. Maybe

1423
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 1: I think the cult war blue that game was. I

1424
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 1: was just watching the cafeteria. It plays all the time

1425
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:18,000
Speaker 1: in our cafeteria, and I think Look, I'm pretty sure

1426
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 1: the cult war blue, so maybe we're in blue. We'll

1427
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:23,599
Speaker 1: find out. I'm sure with mid eighty temperatures, they probably

1428
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:26,759
Speaker 1: want to wear white. Bullsee, maybe they wear their powder blues.

1429
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:30,719
Speaker 1: That's gonna be hard to see. Man. I love those uniforms.

1430
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 1: I love, love, love the powder blues. I love the

1431
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:35,639
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties powder blues. But I even like these two.

1432
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 1: So hopefully you just wear red. That's all you gotta do.

1433
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 1: You just gotta wear red. All right, we got a

1434
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:43,640
Speaker 1: lot to do this our players segment. We turn this

1435

Speaker 1: interesting topic this week. What would your intro song be? Now,

1443
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,599

Speaker 1: Cole what he means by that. But I think it's

1445

Speaker 1: listen to the wool Tang Clan in twenty nineteen, it

1462
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:19,080

01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 1: good way. I've been told I'm an old soul, so

1498
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:01,400
Speaker 1: this week, and it's a special one. My buddy Tyler

1499
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 1: Suttart does a great job with our videos. He does

1500
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 1: a series called The fifty Three. He also started one

1501
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 1: called My Football Story. It's pretty self explanatory, but it's

1502
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 1: told through the eyes of the player, and I figured,

1503
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 1: you know what, this week, it's a great football story

1504
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 1: to learn about Jolilla died, going back to face a

1505
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 1: team where he was for six years. Now doing a

1506
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 1: nice job for your Houston Texans. Here's my football story

1507
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:39,960
Speaker 1: with Jalila Die's chasing Sometime Square. Julia would die first

1508
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:43,800
Speaker 1: second season, get the fourteen. I'm a front of time

1509
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: of Florida area. Playing football for me growing up was everything.

1510
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 1: Kind of state of Florida. It's almost like a culture there,

1511
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 1: you know, similar to Texas we live in. Breathe football down.

1512
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 1: I want to review high school what it was like

1513
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:57,920
Speaker 1: playing there was everything. The city came out of the

1514
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 1: city shut down for the games. Florida has is big

1515
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:03,760
Speaker 1: for high school sports, especially football. My older brother went

1516
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: there as well, so it was almost like a family tradition,

1517
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 1: and my sister and my brother followed me up after that.

1518
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:11,599
Speaker 1: So it was awesome planning. Man, I think I left

1519
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:16,080
Speaker 1: a good legacy coming out of high school. I had

1520
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 1: a lot of options, butch Jones was the West Virginia

1521
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:21,439
Speaker 1: receiver coach, got the head coaching job of Central Michigan

1522
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: calling me up and that's how she wrote short and

1523
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 1: it's intercepted by Julia. Ladye He's got it at the

1524
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:31,280
Speaker 1: thirty five. Julia looking for room, small time pleasant a

1525
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 1: small d one in school when the football seasons in

1526
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 1: when the school year begins the city's live packed out

1527
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 1: about eighteen thousand strong, had some good glory days, then

1528
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 1: believe it or not, won them Matt twice and then

1529
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:46,400
Speaker 1: did some good things. Patty is sacked die leading that

1530
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 1: Charger break to the quarterback. I've always wanted to play

1531
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:51,679
Speaker 1: in the interfl since the age of seven. I always

1532
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:53,680
Speaker 1: told my mom that one day I'm gonna make it.

1533
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be on TV. She always reminds me of

1534
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:57,759
Speaker 1: the two coming in. I was projected to be drafted

1535
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,560
Speaker 1: anywhere from the fourth because it's sixth round, I went undrafted.

1536
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 1: I went to the Chargers, busting my tail on special teams.

1537
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:06,720
Speaker 1: From there, got some good reps on the defensive side

1538
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:08,559
Speaker 1: of the ball, and I kind of took off from

1539
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 1: there and that's where I made my niche for the

1540
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: last six years in San Diego for four, in LA

1541
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 1: for two one hour, I'm here having to be a

1542
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 1: TEXTI Houson has been good. I like the organization. I

1543
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 1: like what the building here. It's a winning culture every year.

1544
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 1: It's it's just something that I want to be a

1545
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: part of them. And when I see an opportunity come,

1546
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:27,600
Speaker 1: I jumped on it and with no looking back and

1547
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:28,760
Speaker 1: said that I want to be a part of it

1548
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:37,639
Speaker 1: and take this team to the next level. Jolie would die.

1549
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 1: It was first second Sea washed. The thirteen such as

1550
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 1: we call him, has got I think for ten my

1551
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 1: football stories, I mean really really good. He posted want

1552
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 1: to justin Reid last week, I believe, or maybe at

1553
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:55,960
Speaker 1: the beginning of this week. I think maybe at the

1554
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:59,639
Speaker 1: beginning of this week, just fantastic stuff I'd love to hear.

1555
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:01,760
Speaker 1: And some people may know some of those stories, but

1556
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 1: to just hear it from the player himself, I think

1557
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:09,680
Speaker 1: is is really really cool. Now every single week, I

1558
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:12,439
Speaker 1: in this final segment on Friday give the final word

1559
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 1: to Drew Doherty and he gets a chance to catch

1560
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:17,559
Speaker 1: up with the player. First week was Deshaun Watson. Last

1561
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 1: week with Johnson Joseph Today. It's a guy that had

1562
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:22,519
Speaker 1: never been in studio before. He had never been in

1563
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: the studio. He walked in and he saw us sitting

1564
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 1: in here and he goes, man, I'm going live. We're

1565
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, you're good. We're recording this. We're

1566
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,040
Speaker 1: gonna play this later and then you can just see like,

1567
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 1: oh okay, cool. But then he opened up during this

1568
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 1: interview and It's great to catch up with Carlos Hide.

1569
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 1: The final Word this week with Drew Doherty goes to

1570
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 1: El Guapo. Thanks a lot of friends. We've got running

1571
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:44,559
Speaker 1: back Carlos Hide with us and Carlos will have first

1572
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 1: two weeks, it's been for you one hundred seventy three

1573
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 1: yards thirty carries. You're getting five point eight yards per pop.

1574
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 1: On a personal level, what have these first two games

1575
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:56,840
Speaker 1: been like for you? They've been good. Marv's Alona has

1576
01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: been doing a good job for me, creating space, allowing

1577
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:02,640
Speaker 1: me to know come through, you know, a small a

1578
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:05,599
Speaker 1: small gap or maybe you know they created a hole

1579
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:07,599
Speaker 1: for me to come through and get my shoulder square

1580
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:10,360
Speaker 1: and you know, make something happen. You're right, they have

1581
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 1: created some holes. But when there haven't been holes either,

1582
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 1: you've still done a good job of making some holes

1583
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 1: for yourself. Been a nice union with you too. You

1584
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:20,639
Speaker 1: and the offensive line, right yeah, I mean just being

1585
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 1: a running back. You know, you got to be able

1586
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:25,439
Speaker 1: to create. Sometimes the old line is not going to perfect,

1587
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean block it perfect, So you gotta know how

1588
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 1: to create, you know, a hole for yourself. And we've

1589
01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:33,320
Speaker 1: been doing a good job though. That's for sure. And

1590
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 1: over the last year so you've been with a few

1591
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:38,639
Speaker 1: different teams. What's been the biggest challenge learning this offense?

1592
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:40,439
Speaker 1: Because it looks like you've learned it the snap of

1593
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:42,800
Speaker 1: a finger. Well, the good thing is that I don't

1594
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: have to learn every single thing right now. You know,

1595
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 1: it's more just learning the game plan for the week.

1596
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 1: So it's a lot easier, you know with that. I see,

1597
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 1: if I was coming in it was like training camp

1598
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: learning the whole offense right now. But I don't have

1599
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 1: to do that right now, which is a good thing

1600
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:58,679
Speaker 1: for me. I can focus on, you know, each week,

1601
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 1: what's the game plan this week? And I can just

1602
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 1: lock in on the game plan because that's what we

1603
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:05,680
Speaker 1: gonna execute any game anyway. So you've seen you run

1604
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 1: the ball very, very effectively. Haven't seen you catch the

1605
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 1: ball too much, but that's something you can definitely do.

1606
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 1: A few seasons ago you had fifty nine receptions. Is

1607
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:17,080
Speaker 1: that an aspect of your game that when it comes,

1608
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:20,360
Speaker 1: when the time is presented, you're looking forward to doing. Yeah,

1609
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 1: I've told them on coach, you know a few times

1610
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, coach, I catch the ball. You know,

1611
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:27,720
Speaker 1: I've been working. You know, when I was in Kansas City,

1612
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:29,720
Speaker 1: I was working, So I was like, y'all need me

1613
01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 1: to run some routes. You know I can do that too.

1614
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: You know, I'm more than just you know, running the ball.

1615
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 1: But like you're doing a good job running the ball,

1616
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 1: just focus on that. So whatever they want me to do,

1617
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that. You know, I'm gonna focus on that. Well,

1618
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: let's talk about this week's opponent. You got the Los

1619
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:46,640
Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers. They're one and one as well. They were

1620
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 1: a playoff team last year as well, went two rounds

1621
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:52,040
Speaker 1: in and they have some guys up front that can

1622
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 1: do some damage on the whole. What do you see

1623
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 1: from that front seven? It definitely would be a good

1624
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:59,720
Speaker 1: test for us, though another AFC Division opponent, it'd be

1625
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 1: a good test for us. Like you said, they got

1626
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:04,400
Speaker 1: some guys up front that we got to do a

1627
01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:06,720
Speaker 1: good job blocking this week. If we can slow those

1628
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:09,639
Speaker 1: guys down and get the Shawn time and let him

1629
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 1: find a receiver, I think we would be all right.

1630
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:13,400
Speaker 1: And another thing, we got to get that run game

1631
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:15,559
Speaker 1: going on. So so you know, if we come out

1632
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:17,600
Speaker 1: we execute our job, I think we can handle the

1633
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 1: front seven and things should go out with He played

1634
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 1: a little bit with Pat Mahomes, saw him in practice

1635
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 1: and whatnot. You're now with the Shawn Watson. Those are

1636
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:28,479
Speaker 1: two of the brightest young quarterbacks in the league. What

1637
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 1: have you seen so far from dw four the song.

1638
01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 1: He's definitely a competitor, big time competitor. I love playing

1639
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 1: with him. I love the fire he brings to the

1640
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:40,280
Speaker 1: game and the guys just a winning If we down

1641
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:43,280
Speaker 1: about seven and fourteen whatever, you know, he's gonna definitely

1642
01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: put us back to the position to get that win.

1643
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 1: And you know he's proving that. And I just love

1644
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:51,440
Speaker 1: playing with him. And he's just he's a big competitor

1645
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:54,679
Speaker 1: and he helps me, you know, because he's a threat

1646
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:57,439
Speaker 1: at running the ball also, so you know, teams can't

1647
01:21:57,479 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 1: just keying on me because he would take off on

1648
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 1: you too. I know, when you look at the stat sheet,

1649
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 1: there's only three people who've carried the ball for the

1650
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:06,240
Speaker 1: Texans this year. You, Duke, DeShawn, y'all are all going

1651
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 1: for five point eight, five point nine, five point eight yards.

1652
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:10,760
Speaker 1: It's kind of crazy that that's what y'all are doing.

1653
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:13,720
Speaker 1: It looks like, bottom line, it's just a fun guy

1654
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 1: to play with, that guy quarterback in it. Yeah, it is, man.

1655
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:19,439
Speaker 1: You know, he's a he's an siding player. Sometimes you

1656
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 1: get caught up just watching him instead of, you know,

1657
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:25,040
Speaker 1: going down to go catch a block for him. You know,

1658
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 1: it's just it's just exciting. You know, it's excited to

1659
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:29,719
Speaker 1: see and it's fun to see. This week, we definitely

1660
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta protect him though. You gotta do better

1661
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:34,479
Speaker 1: protecting him, man, and you know, allowing him to play

1662
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 1: his game. All right, Carlos side, best of luck against

1663
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Thanks so much for taking the time to

1664
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 1: talk with us, and we'll see you again really soon.

1665
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:43,880
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for having that man's been running the

1666
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:46,880
Speaker 1: rock or he has done a really nice job for

1667
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:50,280
Speaker 1: this team last week. Twenty carries ninety yards. Got off

1668
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 1: to a really good start in the first half, and

1669
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:55,599
Speaker 1: then I think the whole offense sort of just kind

1670
01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 1: of slogged through the second half. I kind of felt

1671
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:01,720
Speaker 1: like the second half was the first drive of the

1672
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: second half was sort of symbolic of the way that

1673
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 1: the second half was gonna go. They got a first

1674
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:08,800
Speaker 1: down right away. I think Carlos had had a nice

1675
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 1: run and they picked up a first down on that

1676
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 1: on the start of that drive six to three. Just

1677
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 1: kicked a field before the half. We're getting in the back,

1678
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 1: getting the ball back and ready to double dip. Got

1679
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 1: that first down and then fumble the ball on an exchange.

1680
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 1: I think it was supposed to be a play action fumble,

1681
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 1: the ball got on it, and then snap the next play.

1682
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 1: Sean wasn't ready for it. Who knows who's that's on.

1683
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean, only only Deshan and Nick. No, they botched that,

1684
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:40,640
Speaker 1: but they're able to get back on the ball. But

1685
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:43,560
Speaker 1: that just seemed to be kind of the way it

1686
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:46,640
Speaker 1: was going in the second half, and I don't know,

1687
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 1: maybe that was just kind of a tone center in

1688
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:51,280
Speaker 1: the wrong direction. But hopefully we got that out of

1689
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,439
Speaker 1: our system and we're ready to rock. And Carlos Hide's

1690
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a big, big part of it, I think

1691
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:58,960
Speaker 1: against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, and there it

1692
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 1: is the challenge this game against the Chargers. And when

1693
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 1: the schedule came out, I remember looking at this one going,

1694
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 1: oh boy, you gotta go to New Orleans a start

1695
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 1: the year. And then I circled this game and I said,

1696
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 1: no matter what, happens in New Orleans. They'll look it's

1697
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:15,880
Speaker 1: the first game, win or lose. Wins gonna be great. Lose, Okay,

1698
01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:17,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. But as long as you come

1699
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 1: home and beat Jacksonville, which anyone's gonna be easy. But

1700
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:21,720
Speaker 1: I felt like, if you come back and home and

1701
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:23,680
Speaker 1: beat Jacksonville and be at least one and one going

1702
01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:26,519
Speaker 1: out to LA, then you've got an opportunity in this

1703
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 1: game against LA. Now, I never anticipated that they would

1704
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:31,800
Speaker 1: have so much offensive change by adding Tonsil, by adding

1705
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,840
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide, adding Duke Johnson, losing Lamar Miller. I didn't

1706
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:38,920
Speaker 1: realize that that much kind of upsetting the offensive apple Cart,

1707
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 1: I didn't anticipate that. But knowing what's happened in these

1708
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 1: two games, we're kind of right at the spot that

1709
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 1: I expected, one on one going out to LA with

1710
01:24:49,240 --> 01:24:51,720
Speaker 1: an opportunity to make a statement against one of the

1711
01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 1: best teams in the AFC. One of the best teams

1712
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:56,920
Speaker 1: in the AFC West. Team was twelve and four last

1713
01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 1: year team went to the playoffs, won a playoff game

1714
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. This is a really good football team, but

1715
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:05,599
Speaker 1: so is the one that's in the locker. Room across

1716
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 1: from me, and now it's time to show everybody that

1717
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:11,960
Speaker 1: that one thing, but this is one of the best

1718
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 1: teams in the AFC, that this is one of the

1719
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,559
Speaker 1: best teams in the NFL. This is a statement game.

1720
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:19,040
Speaker 1: This is a prove it game. Proven to those people

1721
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 1: that don't believe that you belong. Prove of those people

1722
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 1: that keep ranking you fifteen or sixteen in some cases

1723
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:27,280
Speaker 1: twenty on the power rankings. Go out to LA and

1724
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 1: make a statement. Make a statement, prove it, prove that

1725
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 1: you belong, and set yourself up to come back with

1726
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:37,720
Speaker 1: an opportunity with two home games after you take this

1727
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:41,600
Speaker 1: w out in LA. Go get it done. Let it

1728
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: all hang out and get it dub all right, everybody,
