1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: Hello, Texans, Welcome to the program. In less than seventy

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: two hours, we will know the result of the Texans

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: Colts game.

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 2: Wow, let's go.

5
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: NFL starts Thursday night, football Chiefs and Ravens getting it on.

6
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: Texans will play both of those teams this year. But

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: let's begin the show like this. Now, usually it's John

8
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: McClean on a Thursday to lead us off, but we've

9
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: got Matt Burke, defensive coordinator in the hopper, So let's

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: talk to the DC and then we'll get to the

11
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: general afterwards. Here as Johnny and I catch up with

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: Matt Burke in studio. Coach, it's been a while.

13
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: How are you doing.

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 3: I'm doing good. How are you guys?

15
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: We're doing great. Looking forward to Week one? Here we are.

16
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: So you're facing the Indianapolis Colts, and tell us a

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: little bit about the kind of attack you're going to

18
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: be seeing on Sunday, because we saw them last year.

19
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: They were different in Week eighteen than they were in

20
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: Week two. What are you expecting in Week one this year?

21
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 4: Yeah?

22
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 5: I mean I would say everything you know starts with

23
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 5: a run game for them. That Week eighteen game was

24
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 5: our worst rushing game of the year on defense, you know,

25
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 5: so I think just kind of combining that with their philosophy.

26
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 5: They were like top ten in terms of attempts last

27
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 5: year from a rushing standpoint too, So you know, in

28
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 5: factoring in obviously Richardson coming back and his ability to

29
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 5: run the ball. So I think it's going to start

30
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 5: there for us in terms of stopping the run. Kind

31
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 5: of usually always does, but you know, probably even more

32
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 5: so this week from like probably what the focus their

33
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 5: attack is going to.

34
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: Be, the additions that have been made on defense.

35
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 6: Coach Daniel on the outside disease inside Kamara is a

36
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 6: rookie draft pick. You guys are all on your second year,

37
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 6: most of the staff is back. How's that transition been

38
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 6: with continuity with guys that have been here but then

39
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 6: working in the guys that just got here.

40
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that.

41
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 5: I think it always helps when you have that level

42
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 5: of continuity from a coaching perspective and some of the

43
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 5: players that already here, Then when you're adding new players

44
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 5: into that, there's already that foundation and those guys are helping,

45
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 5: you know, preach the message, talk the techniques, all those

46
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 5: sort of things. So, I mean last year, if you

47
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 5: think about it. We were essentially how to teach everybody

48
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 5: all of it, you know. So I think it just

49
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 5: hopefully is a smoother transition for easing those guys into

50
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 5: to play in our style of football.

51
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: You talked about stopping the run last year, you want

52
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: to do it better. How hard is it to tell

53
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: in the preseason training camp, preseason games how good you

54
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: might be stopping to run. You make the changes personnel wise,

55
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: and teach them everything, but you really haven't had that

56
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: many reps at it yet.

57
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

58
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 5: I mean that's always like, you know, a week one's

59
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 5: a big unknown in a lot of areas, and and

60
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 5: you try to, you know, between the practices and obviously

61
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 5: preseason games and what you're doing through through this whole

62
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 5: training camp, try to have a sense of what your

63
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 5: strengths are and what your player strengths are and how

64
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 5: we're utilizing them. But yeah, just like probably for everybody

65
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 5: around that's gonna be watching the game, there's always that

66
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 5: little sense of unknown of like, all right, how is

67
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 5: this really gonna look when we put it together? You know,

68
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 5: and so bore excited at like they they've done a

69
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 5: really good job of again, what we can what we

70
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 5: can glean information from in terms of practices and the

71
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 5: preseason reps and stuff.

72
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 7: We're excited about where we're heading with that coach.

73
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 6: I think one of the plays that I get asked

74
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 6: the most about local kid play at Baylor. I think

75
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 6: Jalen Petrie's probably a player that I get asked a

76
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 6: lot about, probably more than any other player because I

77
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 6: think fans really because he's local, because he had a

78
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 6: solid rookie season that they want to know how's he doing.

79
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: He's been playing some nickel, he's playing a different spot.

80
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 6: How do you think Jalen's training camp will help him

81
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 6: be better for this year?

82
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 3: You think, yeah, he's had a great camp.

83
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 5: He's had a great camp, And you know, I think

84
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 5: just it's like all the players, and I always felt

85
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 5: like our job as coaches was to like put the

86
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 5: players in the best position to be successful. So, you know,

87
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 5: in terms of just deploying him and moving him around

88
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 5: some we're just trying to get him. He's a really

89
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 5: good player, he is, and so like, how do we

90
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 5: how do we unlock that and how do we how

91
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 5: do we almost weaponize his talents? So we've tried to

92
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 5: do that a little bit this year, and I think

93
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 5: we'll see how that plays out.

94
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: On Sunday, in a TV production meeting, we had a

95
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: visit with a Zizel Shier and we all left better

96
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: people for a coach. I mean, I'm kind of joking,

97
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: but I'm not. The guy's amazing on and off the field.

98
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: What's he bringing to the table so far? What can

99
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: you share with you?

100
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 5: I mean again, I know he came out of his

101
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 5: name captain and obviously in a short stint here and

102
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 5: you know, so with players respecting.

103
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 7: And seeing what he is and just you know, I

104
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 7: think for.

105
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 5: Me always with players, it starts with his approach from

106
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 5: a work ethics standpoint, and the time he puts in

107
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 5: and the care and importance he has for how he

108
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 5: practices and how he prepares himself. So I mean, that's

109
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 5: the starting point before, you know, to be a leader,

110
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 5: like you have to live it before you can talk it,

111
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 5: and he does. But he is, you know, I think

112
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 5: I would say this just in general, like from a

113
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 5: free agency standpoint, when you're trying to sign guys, when

114
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 5: you have somebody like obviously with his ease that has

115
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 5: a history with Miko and some of the other guys,

116
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 5: on the staff that you can vouch for that part of.

117
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: Them, you know. I mean like that's always an unknown.

118
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 5: Like you can watch film and evaluate these guys and

119
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 5: talk to guys you know around the league, but you

120
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 5: know when you have someone that's been around that can

121
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 5: be like, this is the type of person he is

122
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 5: and the type of character he's gonna bring and and

123
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 5: you know, we talk about culture around here a lot

124
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 5: and what that means and bringing the right people in

125
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 5: is what helps to find your culture. So I think

126
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 5: having the background that we had with him as a

127
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 5: person made it a real easy decision to kind of

128
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 5: bring him into the fold. So he's been awesome, helping

129
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 5: not just the linebackers but all all levels of defense.

130
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: It's been cool.

131
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 6: Could you imagine you try to find that with your

132
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 6: rookies as well, Like you try and find that with

133
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 6: whatever guys you'm bringing in. I think with Will Anderson

134
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 6: it was like, Okay, we get it. Kamari comes in

135
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 6: as a second round pick play at Georgia. I thought

136
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 6: he had a really good career, but then all of

137
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 6: a sudden, you see him get here and he just

138
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 6: seemed ust like he was every day doing something where

139
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 6: you go, whoa, this dude can ball out. What are

140
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 6: your thoughts on Kamari, how far he's come, and what

141
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 6: you expect out of him.

142
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna I'm not gonna say push back. I

143
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 5: think the thing I've been impressed with Kamari is not

144
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 5: the whole moments, that's all the other stuff. Yeah, Like,

145
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 5: same thing you talk about, a business like approach.

146
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 3: I mean he doesn't say much in meeting.

147
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 5: I mean he's just sitting there taking notes, but you

148
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 5: ask him a question or whatever it is, he's spot on. Like.

149
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 5: He's just been very, very mature and business like with

150
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 5: his approach to preparation, and I think that's what's probably showing,

151
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 5: you know. I mean, he's putting himself in really good

152
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 5: positions to make some of those plays because of his preparation.

153
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 5: So it's been impressive to watch, honestly, the day in

154
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 5: and day out with him, and the consistent level of

155
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 5: every time he steps in the building who he is.

156
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 3: Whatever it is he's.

157
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 5: Attacking rehab, he's attacking you know, meetings and learning, or

158
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 5: he's attacking technique on the field. Like, it's a very

159
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 5: high level consistency of approach to all those things.

160
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 3: So that's been kind of what's been impressive with him most.

161
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Matt Burke with us, the guys on the edges.

162
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: I know, pass rush comes from everywhere, but the guys

163
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: on the edge is when you look at Wilt adding

164
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: Danielle Hunter, Derek Barnett back and he really was significant

165
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: for you at the end of last year.

166
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: What about what you have to offer their coach.

167
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that whole group.

168
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously daniel you know, starting there was just

169
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 5: his history of production as a rusher and uh and

170
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 5: what he brings. We felt like that would be a

171
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 5: good compliment with obviously having something like Will in place,

172
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 5: and like you said, Derek and I have a history

173
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 5: with Derek a longer history from from Philadelphia and what

174
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 5: he's done. But you know, we had some injuries last

175
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 5: year and kind of brought him in. He really produced

176
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 5: for us. And getting Jerry back in the mix too,

177
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 5: is uh spry young whatever, he's thirty something, I don't know,

178
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 5: but uh, yeah, it's been it's been cool to see

179
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 5: that room sort of gel and and developing those guys specifically,

180
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 5: and you know, this week it's a challenge obviously with

181
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 5: the quarterback that's got the mobility that that Richardson does,

182
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 5: and I think that's probably going to be important that

183
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 5: that rushing together this week is what's going to be challenged.

184
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 5: Like as good as those guys can be individually, you know,

185
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 5: a quarterback like this makes you really have to rush

186
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 5: as a unit. And so the seeing that gel and

187
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 5: hopefully come together and come to fruition this week is

188
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 5: going to be critical to our success because you can

189
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 5: have great one on one pass rushers, but if they're

190
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 5: kind of independent contractors is going to be escape lanks.

191
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 5: There's going to be other issues that that kind.

192
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 3: Of rise up.

193
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 5: So I think the cool part is sort of like

194
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 5: the cohesion that those guys have started to show and

195
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 5: really starting to understand how they like work together.

196
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna use that. I like that part.

197
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 6: Can't be independent contractor earlier they got rushed together.

198
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: I like that you allowed Okay, good uh Coach.

199
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 6: I've heard CJ talk about this a few times when

200
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 6: he's been asked. I mean he you'll see him sometimes

201
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 6: at practice. He'll he'll ask a hease. They'll be sitting

202
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 6: there during a break and they'll be talking. You can

203
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 6: just see their hands moving, so you know, they're talking

204
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 6: ball because they're doing routes and things, but CJ also

205
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 6: talking said he talks to you at times about things that, Hey,

206
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 6: what did you guys do to me on that particular play?

207
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: What? Wait, what were you guys in? How are you

208
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: guys doing that?

209
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 6: How has that kind of helped the relationship between offense

210
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 6: defense in a sense that he'll come to you and

211
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 6: he'll ask you like, hey, what were you guys showing me?

212
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 6: Or what were you guys in that play that your

213
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 6: quarterback is that inquisitive about what's been happening. How did

214
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 6: you guys beat him on that play? What's that kind

215
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 6: of been like to see kind of CIJ at the

216
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 6: other side of the ball, to see him want to

217
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 6: know more about what you're doing on the defensive side

218
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 6: of the ball.

219
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I would I mean that that's a

220
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 7: lot of levels to that question.

221
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say. I mean, first of all, that

222
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 5: speaks to CJ's growth. I mean, we did it last

223
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 5: year some, but he's really into it now and really

224
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 5: wanting to understand, you know, a deeper level like moving

225
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 5: into a second year and those sort of things, and

226
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 5: even you know upstairs, I mean My office and Bobby's

227
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 5: office are right next door each other, so he'll be

228
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 5: coming into Bobby's office, but he'll I might have something

229
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 5: up on, you know, watching some film, or he might

230
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 5: just pop in and stuff. And so it happens even

231
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 5: off the field too. But I think again kind of

232
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: zooming out bigger picture stuff. Uh, I just see that

233
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 5: happening all across the team. Right, I've said this before.

234
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 5: I've you know, you see Stefan and and staying talking

235
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 5: after a play or like, hey, what leverage we in there?

236
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 5: I try to do this to you what you see

237
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 5: and and man, how'd you beat me on that?

238
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: You know?

239
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 5: And like so like Joe Mixon has been awesome another

240
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 5: edition of like coming across the ball and talking to

241
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 5: those guys so as he's there's just it's been a

242
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 5: really cool, uh collaboration across the ball.

243
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 3: That guy just want to get better and and understanding

244
00:09:59,240 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: that Hey.

245
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 5: That's a different perspective, right, Like all right, I'm looking

246
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 5: at things from an offensive mindpoint. I'm a quarterback and

247
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 5: I see this in this well, hey it's a defensive guy.

248
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 3: What does that mean to you?

249
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 5: Or you may tell me something that I don't have

250
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 5: that lens. I don't have that perspective on it, and

251
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 5: so I just think that's a credit to the players

252
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 5: that they're the desire to get that knowledge and to

253
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 5: see the different angles and different perspective things that that

254
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 5: hopefully again lead to a faster growth and for you know,

255
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 5: a guy like CJ or whomever that is, to to

256
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 5: really expand sort of what he what way he sees

257
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 5: the game.

258
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: All right, One more quick one highlight of the offseason

259
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: for you your time off Celtics winnings any more, mountains climbed.

260
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 5: So all of that, actually I did. I was actually

261
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 5: went to Game five in Boston. Actually, so I'll give

262
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 5: I it's supposed to be quick. I I had tickets

263
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 5: to Game five, and then when when they went up

264
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 5: three to nothing, I was like, well man, they may

265
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 5: not get to Game five. So I rigged it up

266
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 5: and I convinced my family to let me drive up

267
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 5: to Dallas for Game four, which is possibly the worst

268
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 5: basketball game I've ever So I actually went up there

269
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 5: to Dallas.

270
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 7: For that when I was a Friday or Saturday.

271
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: It was.

272
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 5: I just drove up for the day and witnessed that

273
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 5: debacle and came back Actually had three buddies from Boston

274
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 5: fly down to meet me.

275
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 3: There.

276
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 5: We were we were getting ready to celebrate a title

277
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 5: that day, but it got pushed out.

278
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: So it was actually cool.

279
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 5: So ident UH flying up to Boston, UH and witnessing

280
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 5: that too, and UH, I was I've said this like

281
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 5: I and you know, we've talked some soccer here before.

282
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 5: I actually went to two Liverpool matches too. I went to

283
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 5: anfield and UH and went over to UH to see

284
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 5: the Caribou Cup final in Wembley.

285
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: Also for me, I.

286
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 5: Always like never like want to totally lose perspective of

287
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 5: the fandom. It's hard in our job, like we're so busy,

288
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 5: busy business like moving teams, you know and stuff. So

289
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 5: like I hold on to these little, like little pockets

290
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 5: of like being an actual fan and just going to

291
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,880

294
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 5: to be a fan for a little bit this offseason,

295
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 5: which was nice. And then UH and then spent some

296
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,560

Speaker 1: I appreciate it, guys. Johnny, Yeah, here we go, Johnny.

312
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: Matt Burke is a hard guy not to like, and

313
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: he's got a big assignment along with the rest of

314
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: the Texans this weekend. But let's start on that side

315
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: of the football.

316
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 3: Man.

317
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: When you look at having to stop Jonathan Taylor, having

318
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: to stop whatever we expect out of Anthony Richardson, They've

319
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: got weapons galore. I know we're going to get into

320
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: this with the general as well, but this is a

321
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: real tall order going into their building where they will

322
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: have quiet to operate because it is the Colts and

323
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: they know how to behave when their team is on offense.

324
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: This is going to be big. One of the things I.

325
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 6: Always think about Mark is which team carries the most

326
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 6: pressure in this game, and I kind of feel like

327
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 6: because they're playing at home and there's a lot of

328
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 6: talk this offseason about well we didn't have Anthony Richardson

329
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 6: and we're a different team, and.

330
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: Well we beat them in week two.

331
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 6: I think the pressure resides all on them. Wow, And

332
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 6: that's a good thing. Now. Obviously there's a lot of

333
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 6: talk about us and what we can live up to,

334
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 6: but I just think it's on them because if they

335
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 6: think that Anthony Richardson, now Richardson comes out goes the

336
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 6: first two drives for a touchdown, Okay, that pressure flips

337
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 6: all the way back over to our side.

338
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: Like that's four.

339
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 6: That's four touchdown drives in five drives that he's had

340
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 6: against the Texans, and four of them will have gone

341
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 6: for touchdowns. Oh my goodness. Now, the pressure is definitely

342
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 6: on us. But if they struggle out of the shoot offensively,

343
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 6: Texans are tackling well and Richardson can't really get it

344
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 6: going with the passing game, I think they start to

345
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 6: feel more and more pressure, especially if we then take

346
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 6: a lead, because I feel like if they've got to chase,

347
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 6: it gets them away from their game and I think

348
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 6: they've got one way to win a game, and that

349
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 6: is Richardson and Taylor dominate on the ground, spiced in

350
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 6: with maybe some deep shots to Mitchell or Pierce or

351
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 6: probably one of those two. Because Downs has been out

352
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 6: for a couple of days, I don't know that he's

353
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 6: gonna be ready to go on Sunday. But either way,

354
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 6: I think that's the way they win the game. But

355
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 6: they've got to do that from ahead. So if they

356
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 6: get ahead, yeah, the pressure flips. But if they struggle

357
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 6: offensively and the Texans are moving the ball, putting up points,

358
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 6: picking up first downs and touchdowns when they need to

359
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 6: want to, I think the pressure just amps up that

360
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 6: much more for Anthony Richardson in this offense, like, hey,

361
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 6: this was supposed to be different. Number five was supposed

362
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 6: to be the guy. He was number five picking the draft, Like, well,

363
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 6: here we go. But that being said, I think the

364
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 6: pressure is on Indianapolis until this game gets rolling, and

365
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 6: then we'll see where the Texans can tackle well enough

366
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 6: to stop them.

367
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's funny with the pressure situation. I

368
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: think the pressure meter is about equal on both teams.

369
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: Because of what you said. If the Colts can't beat

370
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: the Texans at home opening day everybody healthy virtually, then

371
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: when are you going to beat them?

372
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: Right?

373
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: When is it all going to come together for the

374
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. But the Texans are the favorites and they're

375
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: supposed to win the division. So if the Texans can't

376
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: go in there and win, then what are you looking

377
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: at at that point? So I'm not sure who to

378
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: gauge the pressure toward in this game. I think you're

379
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: right it ebbs and flows. Now you look at the

380
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: point totals last year. You look at what happened in

381
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: Week two for the Houston Texans. They put up twenty points,

382
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: they gave up thirty one. In Week eighteen, you look

383
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: at it the other way, right, the Texans put up

384
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: twenty three, gave up nineteen. I think both teams are

385
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: going to be able to score some points in this game.

386
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: And that's why you and I don't know if we

387
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: said this on the air, but you and I both

388
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: think high twenties is what's needed to get it done

389
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,119
Speaker 1: against the Colts.

390
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

391
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 6: Absolutely, I think that's what it's gonna take because I

392
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 6: do think the Colts will get that running game going.

393
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 6: I think in week one, when guys have not played

394
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 6: full games, it takes a little while. You're probably gonna

395
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 6: have to have your rotations going at a lot of

396
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 6: different positions, and so I think some fatigue sets in.

397
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 6: I remember back to twenty twenty two, the Texans had

398
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 6: a big lead and then fatigue said, and then the

399
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 6: Colts got back in it by just pounting away with

400
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 6: Jonathan Taylor and couldn't stop them at that particular point.

401
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 6: So I do think twenty eight's got to be your number.

402
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 6: I think that's what it's gotta be. Now I'll take

403
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 6: I'll take twenty three and take my chances, but I

404
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 6: think twenty eight is what gets you a win as

405
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 6: long as you're not turning the ball over making dumb

406
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 6: mistakes early in the game, which hopefully is a Texas

407
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 6: team that doesn't do that. But I think twenty eight

408
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 6: is that magic number to go get a win if

409
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 6: you get to twenty eight, Like, if I give you

410
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 6: twenty eight points right now, Mark.

411
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: Would you take it? I would, because I think that's a.

412
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 1: Win twenty eight points to Sunday against the Colts. Absolutely,

413
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: And if you give me ten wins. I've had this

414
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: conversation with people in the twenty twenty four season, I'd

415
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: take that as well. I hope for more and I

416
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: think they can get more, but I'd rather just take

417
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: the sure thing if you're gonna give it to me.

418
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 2: But there is no sure thing.

419
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: There is a sure thing about injury reports coming out,

420
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: and the injury report for Thursday.

421
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 2: MJ.

422
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: Stewart's still a DNP, so I would expect that he

423
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: would not go. This is a kind of sneaky one. Look,

424
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: it's not like CJ. Stroud is out right. We love MJ.

425
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: MJ helps on special teams, can play safety for you.

426
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: Of course, he's been the personal protector in punts very often,

427
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: so there's that. I don't know how they're going to

428
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: set it up this year, and obviously without him, you

429
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: got to do it another way on Sunday at the

430
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: very least. But what are your thoughts on the injury

431
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: report situation? It could be a whole lot worse. I

432
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: love seeing Will not on it at all.

433
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's the biggest thing, is just Will

434
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 6: not being on it. I mean, what do we get

435
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 6: from Tim Settle, We don't know. What do we get

436
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 6: from Jeff Akudo? We don't know, and i'd like to

437
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 6: think we know we're going to get from Will. We

438
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 6: saw him for a little bit more of training camp,

439
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 6: but we don't know. And I think the good thing

440
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 6: is that you're going in there about as healthy as

441
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 6: you can be.

442
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 2: Obviously, would you.

443
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 6: Like to have Christian Harris, Absolutely, but you haven't been

444
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 6: with Christian the in since camp started basically except for

445
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 6: that one Sunday and then he went out basically thirty

446
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 6: forty five.

447
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 2: Minutes, so you really haven't had him. So you've been

448
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 2: able to do everything that you were going to do.

449
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 6: I guess without him, it wasn't like you've been practicing

450
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 6: it all along all a sudden boom, he gets hurt

451
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 6: and now you got to change course.

452
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 2: I mean, you can basically stay the course of what

453
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 2: you've been doing.

454
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 6: And I think the game to me comes down to

455
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 6: linebackers as he's Al Shire and Jake Hansen and Henry

456
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 6: Toatoa Bell, Seohn Phillips, you know whoever plays there, Nevill Cwitt.

457
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 6: He comes down me to those guys because of the

458
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 6: line scalemate, Like hopefully that leaves the linebackers open to

459
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 6: go make tackles and they better go make tackles, because

460
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 6: if there's one thing that has sprung Jonathan Taylor on

461
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 6: longer runs against the Texans, it's missed tackles and then

462
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 6: he's got four three nine speed to take the distance.

463
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: So the Texans have to tackle well.

464
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 6: And if you're not going to tackle well, you better

465
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 6: swarm with four and five guys to the football at

466
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 6: all times so the first guy doesn't get there, guys two,

467
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 6: three and four can end up making that play. So

468
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 6: I think that's gonna be instrumental. But that to me,

469
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 6: is gonna come down to the linebackers for sure.

470
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: Well, two things would surprise me, them not being ready

471
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: the Texans not being totally ready to play. It's not

472
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those oh they weren't ready to

473
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: play situations. They'll be sky high. I expect the Colts

474
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: to be that way as well. And I think the

475
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: Texans might give up some points, but they're gonna score points.

476
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna score points against the Colts. They'll move the football.

477
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: They might not run it according to our dreams the

478
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: way we'd love to see it. Look, if it happens,

479
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm down with it. I expect the running game to

480
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: be effective with mix and overall, but I think with

481
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: the Colts that's tough to run against their front. We'll see.

482
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: I just expect them to score points one way or another,

483
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: throwing it to mix in, throwing it to the big three,

484
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: the tight ends mixed into the game. You got CJ. Stroud,

485
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna find a way to protect them and move

486
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: the football.

487
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 6: I'm convinced that if you can get the ball off,

488
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 6: you can get what you want in a passing game.

489
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 6: What I'm curious to see is how the Colts respond

490
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 6: because last year they played a lot of zone and

491
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 6: the Texans ate them up.

492
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 2: I don't think.

493
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,239
Speaker 6: They've got good enough players to go man to man

494
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 6: against the Texans and be successful, but I think that's

495
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 6: what they're gonna have to do.

496
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna.

497
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 6: Have to blitz more than probably Gus Bradley wants to.

498
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 6: It's just not his thing, but I think they're gonna

499
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 6: have to do it to try and force CJ's hand

500
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 6: to get rid of the football. Then that puts the

501
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 6: Big three man to man against the secondary that's not

502
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 6: that good. So, like I said earlier, how many different

503
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 6: ways do you have to win a game? It would

504
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 6: be great to find out in week one. You could

505
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 6: win this game with one hundred yards from Joe Mixon.

506
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 6: But you know you can win it on the arms CJ. Shroud,

507
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 6: you know you can win it. Throw it to the

508
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 6: tight end. You know you can win it throwing it

509
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 6: to the big three. You know you can win the

510
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 6: game in different ways. I don't know if the Colts

511
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 6: have those ways, but I would love to be able

512
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 6: to see. Oh man, we won this game with Joe

513
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 6: Mixon in a running game that we weren't really sure about.

514
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 6: So that would be kind of fun if that were

515
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 6: a different way to win a game, if that emerged

516
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 6: on Sunday, because then that makes you really really scary

517
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 6: in the future.

518
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: Well, there's so much we haven't seen daneil Hunter in

519
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: a regular season game, Joe Mixon in any kind of

520
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: game for the Houston Texans, Laramie Tunzel since last year.

521
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: So looking forward to it. Thank you, Johnny. All right,

522
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: let's get right back to it. As John McClain is

523
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: going to join us. We'll have the General in for

524
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: a Thursday visit coming up here on Texans Radio. Right

525
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: back to it here on Texans Radio. As promised, the General,

526
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: John McClain joins us, let's get right to it. General.

527
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: A lot has happened off season, training camp, preseason games.

528
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: Here we go week one. Anything change about your opinion

529
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: regarding this team based on what you've seen through training camp,

530
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 1: the preseason games, all of it.

531
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 9: I think the offense will play great. I think the defense,

532
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 9: considering the schedule and the quarterbacks and all the changes

533
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 9: made on defense. I asked Matt Burke this question. For

534
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 9: a team that played so well, there have been massive

535
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 9: changes on this defense. There's only two players starting on

536
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 9: defense in this game who started the last game last

537
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 9: season in Indianapolis, and that's Stingley and Petrie, and.

538
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 8: So you just don't see that much.

539
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 9: But obviously that was a plan that Nick Serio, Dimico Ryans,

540
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 9: and Matt Burke came up with. So I think their

541
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 9: success or failure is going to depend heavily on the

542
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 9: defensive side, starting against Anthony Richardson and Johnson Taylor. You know,

543
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 9: Texans been terrible against Taylor. He's got four consecutive games

544
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 9: at least one hundred and forty three yards, including one

545
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 9: hundred and eighty eight last year. But they want his

546
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 9: records four to one one is the starter. So I'm

547
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 9: thinking this way it is in Baltimore too, when when

548
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 9: Anthony Richardson puts the ball in Johnthon Taylor's stomach, the Texans,

549
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 9: automatically because of history, are gonna think Jonathan Taylor's gonna

550
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 9: get the ball and Richardson pulls it out and takes

551
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 9: off around in And we saw he had two touchdowns

552
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 9: around the end last year before he got injured in

553
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 9: that thirty one to twenty victory. So I know the

554
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 9: offense is gonna play great. Passing game is gonna be great.

555
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 9: I wish they could throw on every down because they're

556
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 9: so exciting, But to me, so much hinges on the defense.

557
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 9: And fortunately, other than Christian Harris, they're in really good

558
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 9: shape physically.

559
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 6: That is big that they obviously, but they will miss

560
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 6: Christian Harris generally. As you talk about that defense, one

561
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 6: thing I kept thinking about is what's the ACI. You

562
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 6: talked about the changes they've made. They brought it to

563
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 6: the new hunter, they brought in as hezel Shire, they

564
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 6: drafted Kamari last year. If the defense does have an

565
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 6: Achilles heel, or it has a kryptonite, what do you

566
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 6: think it is tackle?

567
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 9: Because the top two were there last year when they

568
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 9: went from thirty second to sixth and against the run,

569
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 9: and the two starters Malik Collins and Sheldon Rankins combined

570
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 9: for eleven sacks and they had set the team record

571
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 9: for sacks, and one was traded and the other one

572
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 9: signed for a four million dollars a year raise. So fully,

573
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 9: Potokasti and Mario Edwards, and we all love Khalil Davis.

574
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 9: I wonder what Khalil Davis could do if he played more,

575
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 9: say he started, maybe he wouldn't be able to make

576
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 9: the big plays. But there's a lot of candidates playing inside. Obviously,

577
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 9: Demigo Ryans and Matt Burke think they can be as

578
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 9: good or better with the guys they have. Otherwise they

579
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 9: would have done what we thought and used a high picker,

580
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 9: spend money in free agency on an interior defensive alignment.

581
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: We all know they want to run the ball better.

582
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 1: So how do you think it's going to go. Pierce

583
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: makes the team? Obviously, akers out there at practice, British Brooks,

584
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: what do you think they're going to do at the

585
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: running back position? And we'll throw in possible fullback British Brooks,

586
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: I don't know if he dresses or not.

587
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 9: We talked to Bobby Brooks about Bobby Brooks. Bobby slock

588
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 9: about Brooks, and they were fourth and using a fullback

589
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 9: last year and now they don't have a legitimate fullback.

590
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 9: But I think it's because they can change. As we

591
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 9: all know, Andrew Beck's the only player on the team

592
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 9: score three different ways. But Brooks to me, is exciting

593
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 9: as a running back.

594
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 4: And I.

595
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 9: Don't know if he'll get to play much. I'm guessing

596
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 9: he would. I can see him line up at fullback

597
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 9: as a lead blocker for Joe Mixon. Mixing is a

598
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 9: good receiver. He's averaged twelve touchdowns the last three year,

599
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 9: had little fourteen hundred yards as a runner and receiver last year.

600
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 9: He's big. You know, if they get down in the five.

601
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 9: I think they had three rushing touchdowns last year three

602
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 9: whereby Stroud you need more than that. They need it

603
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 9: back where the defense is thinking, Okay, Stroud's gonna throw

604
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 9: it every time they're inside the five, and I think

605
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 9: Mixing can do that. And I'm wondering if Mixing gets

606
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 9: hurt or gets a breather. Who's coming in who had

607
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 9: the best preseason? You know, who should clearly be the

608
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 9: number two back on this team. So I don't know

609
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 9: how they're going to do it, Dargan, but Wily Courts

610
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 9: great special teams player, and how they use those backs

611
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 9: is important. I want this offensive line to prove now

612
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 9: that it's healthy, it can be a really productive run

613
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 9: blocking offensive line that is yet.

614
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 2: To be proved. Okay, it's questions for both of you.

615
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 6: Okay, so we talk all the time about the stars,

616
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 6: Stefan Diggs, Tank Dell, Derek Stingly.

617
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: I'm always interested in the X factor.

618
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 6: A player that doesn't get a lot of publicity, a

619
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 6: player that just does his job may not be a

620
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 6: pro bowler might be, but probably isn't gonna be. But

621
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 6: you know, this team just cannot get things done without

622
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 6: this particular player, Like he's the X factor offense, defense,

623
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:27,959
Speaker 6: special teams.

624
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 2: I don't care which one you pick.

625
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 6: Who is the X factor that you have your eyes

626
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 6: on to say, Okay, not gonna be pro bowler, but

627
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 6: as the guy that we gotta have on the field,

628
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 6: he's got to be productive. Maybe he impacts defensive special teams,

629
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,959
Speaker 6: offensive special teams, maybe it's just special teams.

630
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: Who is your ex factor for twenty twenty four.

631
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 9: Dalton Schultz got to stay on the team, okay, because

632
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 9: he is he and we all know how much Strad

633
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 9: likes to throw to him. You know, their last scoring

634
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 9: driving Indianapolis last year, Schultz was getting all the cadget yep,

635
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 9: and his relationship on the field in clutch situations is

636
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 9: obvious of how much Strode looks for him and the defense.

637
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 8: I can't wait to see.

638
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 9: What the Colts do when you've got these three wide

639
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 9: receivers healthy, and then you've got Dalton Schulz, then you've

640
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 9: got Mixing. I'm guessing they're going to play a lot

641
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 9: of his own because there's problem, according to the Indianapolis

642
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 9: people I've talked to, is their secondary. You know, they're

643
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 9: great in the defensive line, they're good enough at linebacker,

644
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 9: but the people up there worried about the secondary. And

645
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 9: it's not a good game for them to be worried

646
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 9: about that. So I can't wait to see how they

647
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 9: play them.

648
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: All right.

649
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: So it's hard not to go with a star when

650
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: you ask a question like that, Johnny, because a lot

651
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: of the fans, the casual fans, even some of the

652
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: more knowledgeable ones, I think, are not familiar with what

653
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: Asi's al Shier is going to mean to this football team.

654
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: It's a good one and to me, that's the straw

655
00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: that stirs the drink.

656
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: On defense.

657
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: I know Jimmy Ward is crucial as well. Did not

658
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: play in that Week eighteen matchup last year and throughout

659
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: the postseason. But now you have Ward for this Week

660
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: one matchup, and I hope you haven't forever because Ward,

661
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: al Shire, Danil Hunter, these guys are going to make

662
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: a huge difference for this football team throughout the course

663
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: of the season. And then you add in Will. It's

664
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: great seeing Will. I don't know about you, but the

665
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: highlight of my week so far is Will Anderson not

666
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: on the injury report. Ye fantastic. And I was looking

667
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: for that yesterday because we know he's been banged up

668
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: in camp and I thought maybe he still nursing something

669
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: and coming back I expected him to place that he would,

670
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: but it wasn't even anywhere to be found.

671
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 8: Let's go, okay, excuse me.

672
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 9: I felt bad ramming that last game because he tried

673
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 9: to play off the bench, couldn't shard and he was

674
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 9: limping around. And so now you hope he's one hundred

675
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 9: percent because he's certainly not used up. Yeah, and I

676
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 9: expected him to be a double sack guy, especially with

677
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 9: daneil Hunter on the other side.

678
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 6: That's my second best news of the week. First one personal,

679
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 6: but that's number two. It's very very close my first one.

680
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 6: Mine can't say it mine, I can't say that.

681
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 3: Not tell now.

682
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: Our imaginations are running well well, but.

683
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 2: Your imaginations run wild.

684
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 6: My shack Mason because I feel like this offensive line

685
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 6: and it's funny.

686
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: When we were at the combine, I ran into.

687
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 6: Uh Brooks while my blanket on Brooks's last name used

688
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 6: to write for us here why well Brooks cobino, Brooks Cobina.

689
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 6: So I was talking to Brooks, and you know, we

690
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 6: were talking about what this team is going to be

691
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty four, and I said, you know, we

692
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 6: need to run the ball better and help that run game.

693
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 6: And he looked at me, is like, do you And

694
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 6: I was like, maybe he's got a point. Maybe you

695
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 6: do have to throw it, and you can throw it,

696
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 6: but I said, I think this offense you have to

697
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 6: run the ball better because of what comes off of that,

698
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 6: the play action, the boots, the keepers, those kind of

699
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 6: things to be able to run the ball better this year.

700
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 6: I think Shaq Mason has to have a really good year,

701
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 6: and nobody's really going to talk about Shack unless he's

702
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 6: getting beat for sacks and things like that. But I

703
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 6: think is instrumental with the leadership that he's got to

704
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 6: be able to show he's got juice. Starting for as

705
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 6: a center for the first time, he's working next to

706
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 6: Titus for the first time, so now he's working in

707
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 6: between two guys. They got to work their synergy and

708
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 6: all that kind of stuff. So mine ends up being

709
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 6: Shack Mason because it's not a guy that we're gonna

710
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 6: talk about.

711
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 9: Is not only player on the team started every game

712
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 9: last year.

713
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. And the availability part I love that too.

714
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 6: So hopefully, hopefully availability ends up being something that filters

715
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 6: down through everybody. Because Daniel Hunter played, if he didn't

716
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 6: play all the games he played close to him, I

717
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 6: think Diggs played every game last year, Mixing played every

718
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 6: game last year, Shack Mason did, So hopefully that filters down.

719
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 2: You know, it's just like a good virus that gets

720
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 2: to everybody.

721
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 9: As an observation to all those people in Buffalo that

722
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 9: say they're happy that.

723
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 8: That Diggs is gone.

724
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 9: You take away four consecutive hundred catch, thousand yard seasons

725
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 9: for a guy who I think missed two games.

726
00:31:58,920 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 8: In four years.

727
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 9: That can't help but hurt that offense they're going to.

728
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 9: Now everybody says they're going to run the ball more,

729
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 9: and that's fine, They're gonna run the ball more, but

730
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 9: I still think the Bills offense is going to miss Diggs.

731
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 9: And I can't wait till the Bills come in here

732
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 9: and they play them and they quadruple teaming so he

733
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 9: won't have a big.

734
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 8: Game and they get burned by everybody else.

735
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: How much do the Bengals miss Joe Mixon. They'll open

736
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: with the Patriots this weekend, same time the Texans play

737
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: the Colts, but without Joe Mixon, I think that that

738
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,719
Speaker 1: running game is going to suffer a little bit, and

739
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: without their offensive coordinator, who's now the head coach at Tennessee,

740
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: I think they might suffer a little bit as well. Now,

741
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: not against the Patriots this weekend in all likelihood, but

742
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: as you march on through that AFC North.

743
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 9: Well, they were gonna cut Mixon, and I can't figure

744
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 9: out why Nick Serio did a really smart thing instead.

745
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 9: Of letting him be cut because they knew they wanted

746
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 9: and Bobby Sloweck thought he was really good for the

747
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 9: scheme they play that still lett him be cut and

748
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 9: having a bid for him, Hey we'll give you seven.

749
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 9: So the Bengals took the seven. They bring him in.

750
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 9: He's twenty seven years old, redo his contract. He should

751
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 9: be sufficiently motivated. And I'm really eager to see what

752
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 9: Mixon does because he's got you know, he didn't. The

753
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 9: Texans did a great job against him last year up there,

754
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 9: which to me that other net last game against Andy

755
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 9: was their biggest victory of the season on the road

756
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 9: because they beat Burrow, they beat Mixing. I think he

757
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 9: had forty six yards something like that. But this this

758
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 9: year is the you know, Bobby slow he didn't get

759
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 9: to sign off on Damian Pearce's He's able to run

760
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 9: my scheme. But every other back that's come in, not Doregon.

761
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 9: But whiley of course he's been saying, yes, that guy

762
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 9: can do it, and I'm really bumped to see what

763
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 9: he's going to be able to do.

764
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 2: I and Acres, Okay, ready, yeah, we gotta get it.

765
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: We gotta put it on wax. We gotta get him down.

766
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 2: Let's let's put him down.

767
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 6: Our prediction go for twenty twenty four because we got

768
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 6: Chiefs and Ravens kicking off in a little bit, so

769
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 6: we got to get him down.

770
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: So here's here's what we're gonna do. You get one team.

771
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 2: One team. That's it.

772
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 6: That's all you can say is one team. You can't

773
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 6: explain it. You just got to say it.

774
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 2: That's it.

775
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 1: Can't say what the predictions about nother it's good or bad.

776
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 2: You just have to say is okay, here we go

777
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 2: the winner.

778
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 8: You have to eliminate. You can't say Texans.

779
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 2: No, I'm not saying Texans. Okay, I know the rules. Okay,

780
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 2: who's winning the AFC South?

781
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: Jenckson's well, I have to say Texans there. I mean, listen, listen.

782
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: I think the Texans should be favored. I think it's

783
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: going to be a tough context throughout these I know

784
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: he's sorry, Texans, go on, Oky, next division.

785
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 2: AFC West Chiefs.

786
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, no brainer, Chiefs, the Chiefs, AFC North Ravens.

787
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 2: Ooh, I'd say Ravens.

788
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 6: Pat's a Ravens sweep. Yeah. AFC East tough.

789
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: One General Jets, Wow, Dolphins upset City Jets.

790
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 2: Yeah.

791
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: I think the Jets get banged up and it's gonna

792
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: be tough.

793
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: I think the Bills aren't as good.

794
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: Remember, the Dolphins still had a chance to win this division,

795
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: even though they were terrible down the stretch and losing everybody,

796
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 1: And we talked about guys coming in for that last

797
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: whiff of NFL dollars trying to help out that injured defense,

798
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: and they still had a shot and they and they

799
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: couldn't do it.

800
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 2: I think this year might be a little bit different

801
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 2: for them.

802
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 6: Okay, two teams, So think about who you picked for

803
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 6: the division. General, you picked Texans, Chiefs, Jets, Ravens. Mark

804
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 6: you picked Dolphins, Texans Chiefs and Ravens. Okay, think about

805
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 6: two teams that are gonna make the playoffs that you

806
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 6: didn't mention two.

807
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: You don't have to give all three. I just want two.

808
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 6: Two wild card teams that you think that you're confident

809
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 6: in won't win a division, but a're gonna end up

810
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 6: getting walk cards.

811
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 2: General Bills and Bengals. Oh nice.

812
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: I would say Steelers because they always find a way in,

813
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: don't they. I want to say the Bills, but I

814
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: feel like i'm dissing the AFC South, which I talk

815
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: up all the time. So I'll put my energy into

816
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: the Jaguars here. Nice because I was gonna say nine wins.

817
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 2: I thought about.

818
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 6: Bills and Bengals, but I'm gonna go Bills and Jags. Okay,

819
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 6: how else would that be a Jaggs Texans playoff game?

820
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 2: As long as we win, it'll be ok.

821
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 6: Let's go to the NFC. Okay, NFC East General, go Eagles.

822
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: Gosh, I hate picking the Cowboys, so I won't. I'll

823
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: go with the Eagles.

824
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 2: I well, Eagles clean sweep. NFC North, Oh, very times.

825
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say lines, take a step back. It's the

826
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers.

827
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 6: Wow, I'm gonna throw all kinds of I'm just shocking everybody.

828
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: Minnesot Chicago Bears.

829
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm going with Caleb Baby shocking, shocking, not doing

830
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 6: Stroud can do it, Kayleb Williams can do it.

831
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 2: Bears. Okay, NFC South Ooh, this is a tough one.

832
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 8: General, NFC South Falcons.

833
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: So I feel like a closet buccaneer fan right now

834
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: because not enough people are talking about them. In fact,

835
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: they're laughing at them, and they're thinking the Falcons have

836
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: improved themselves so much. Yeah, you know, all right, great

837
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: on paper, let's see it on the field, and the

838
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: Buccaneers won this division.

839
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: I'll go with the Buccaneers.

840
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 9: Her cousin's blowing out his achilles had more touchdown passes

841
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 9: than the Falcons than the Falcons.

842
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 8: I'm going.

843
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 6: I'm going Buccaneers. I just can't go with Dad Jeans Kirk.

844
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 6: I just I just can't do it. NFC West forty

845
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 6: nine ers.

846
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta go with the forty nine ers, but

847
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: I think the Rams can make the playoffs.

848
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 6: Ah, forty nine ers, Okay, give me the two teams

849
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 6: in the NFC that you didn't mention that you think

850
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 6: are gonna make the Cowboys and Backers.

851
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: I'll go with the Lions. Really take a step back,

852
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: So I'll go Rams and Cowboys because it's so enjoyable,

853
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: Johnny to see the Cowboys lose in the playoffs. You

854
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: almost want them to make it just so you can

855
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: watch them lose and keep talking about how they haven't

856
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: done anything since the mid nineties, which is just fun.

857
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: It's one of those Texas pastimes that everybody enjoys other

858
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: than Cowboy fans. Themselves. It's a natural tradition.

859
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 8: Now it's no fun when they're bad. We're going exactly.

860
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: You want them to be good enough to make it

861
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: to the stage, then lose.

862
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 8: That's satisfied. Like the Yankees.

863
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: You want to see the Yankees get into the postseason

864
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: and then flame out spectacularly rather than not make it right.

865
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 6: It's like letting the steam out of a pressure cooker.

866
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 6: I'm rather the Cowboys pressure cooker explode in January as opposed.

867
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 2: To being let out little by little, all throat.

868
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: If you hate the Yankees, which most people do, and

869
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: the Red Sox, when you're rather see the Astros beat

870
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: those teams. Yeah, it's beat the great team.

871
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

872
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: Now, I'd love to see the Texans knock the Cowboys

873
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,720
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs, but in order for that to happen,

874
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have to make it all the way to

875
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and I don't want to see that,

876
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: So I'd rather have the Texans make the Super Bowl,

877
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys lose.

878
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 9: Texans beat the Cowboys in the Super Bowl. They cant

879
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 9: a miserable those Cowboys fans.

880
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: They would be, But then they'd be saying, at least

881
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 1: we got there, and they would get a boost from that.

882
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 8: I don't totally disagree.

883
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 2: Just lose wild Card weekend.

884
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 6: My two would end up being the Lions and the Packers.

885
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 6: I think the NFC North's gonna be pretty good, and unfortunately.

886
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 2: We play them this year.

887
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: All right, give me other than Mahomes the MVP. You

888
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: got to eliminate Mahomes. We're gonna put them in the

889
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan category. So Mahomes is out of it. Who

890
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: is either second or going to upset Mahomes for MVP?

891
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: And we got a candidate right here who could possibly

892
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: do it.

893
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 9: General he could possibly do it. My big is Rock

894
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 9: Party contract year. He's got all kinds of talent wanting

895
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 9: to get over the hump.

896
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: I think there's uh I'm going with I call it prejudice, discrimination,

897
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: whatever against guys who are drafted in a certain spot.

898
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: We can't respect them until they win one or more

899
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. Because Brady was going to have that on

900
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 1: him until he just blew through all of that narrative

901
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 1: and you couldn't ignore it anymore. And they were still

902
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: saying he's probably not the greatest quarterback ever after he

903
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: won the first three Super Bowls. But then he just

904
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 1: made it impossible to say anything else.

905
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 2: I will go with CJ. Stroud. I love it.

906
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 6: I'm putting I'm putting my and then you know I

907
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 6: don't do that. I'm putting my Homer spear in.

908
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 2: The ground like I am a hole Fostola. Yeah, I'm

909
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 2: going with CJ.

910
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 6: Stroud and my dark horse dark horse, because I did

911
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 6: pick the Jets.

912
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 2: To win the ANFC East is Aaron Rodgers. He'll win

913
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 2: Comeback Player of the Year.

914
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 6: But if the Jets are going to win it a vision,

915
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 6: he's gonna get some votes for MVP.

916
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: There's no doubt here. You're right, that's the dark horse

917
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: dark course. Will he win the ed Block Courage Award

918
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: two if he does well?

919
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 9: No, there's no courage in coming back from.

920
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 8: Whatever you want it to be.

921
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: Okay, didn't seth Payne win that one year he won

922
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 1: the local version.

923
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: I think he.

924
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 1: Was a nominee, Okay, not the national guy. Who would

925
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: you say your question? I think if it's not Stroud,

926
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Love's got a shot. Because if I'm going to

927
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: go with my packer pick to win the NFC North,

928
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of love for Love and people want

929
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: to jump on that.

930
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 2: Narrative.

931
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: They want to jump on that story that love. You know,

932
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: he takes over for Aaron Rodgers who took over for

933
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 1: Brett farm. I think people like that story. The media,

934
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: they love that story, so they'll go with Jordan Love.

935
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: I think it's got a lot of love. See, that's

936
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: a that's an easy one to do, all right, General,

937
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: what do you have going on? Houston Texans dot Com,

938
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: et cetera.

939
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 9: Have a column that'll be posted Sunday about Stroud, I

940
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 9: mean Sunday Friday, about Stroud and Richardson. I have one

941
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 9: posted now about the colossal monumental victories in Indianapolis and

942
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 9: their historical impact on the franchise the last two years. Now,

943
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 9: I did one today about how last year, going into

944
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 9: the last game of the season, the Texans were third

945
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,919
Speaker 9: against the run. They ended up sixth against the run

946
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 9: because Johnathan Taylor could not be stopped and how are

947
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 9: they going to contain Taylor when they got to worry

948
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 9: about Richardson as well.

949
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 2: I'm starting to feel the stress.

950
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: I can feel it in my face right, Yes, I

951
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: can feel it because this is and I'm thinking of

952
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: Anthony richards in week two and then add Taylor to

953
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: that and it's just a nightmare and you better be

954
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 1: ready for it.

955
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 2: You know, they know it's coming.

956
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 8: You have medicine for that.

957
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: You know. I don't care about me, I care about them.

958
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: I care about the defense. Let's go General. Thank you, guys,

959
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. As always, there he is the General.

960
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: John MacLean coming out. Final thoughts, stuff going on around

961
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: the league. Houston Methodist Minutes. It's all on the way

962
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: here on Texans All Access. Okay, Texans All Access final segment.

963
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: Let's get to it with Houston Methodist Minutes. This week

964
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: it's about hydration. We all need to be more hydrated

965
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: in the hot weather. It's still going on. It's still

966
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: a factor. Doctor Alicia Robis show from Houston Methodist tells

967
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: us about it.

968
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 2: Doctor, how's it going.

969
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 4: We're doing great well.

970
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: I know we're trying to keep cool and some days

971
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: have been actually pretty decent this summer, but many have not.

972
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: And hydration is a big topic for athletes for everybody. Really,

973
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,800
Speaker 1: let's start with the athletes doctor before they go out.

974
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 1: When is it too late to hydrate? How soon? How

975
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: early should one hydrate?

976
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing is you hydrate more than

977
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 4: a few hours before your event. So for my golfers,

978
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 4: for my football players, for my trek stars. My biggest

979
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 4: thing is you need to hydrate before. You're not waiting

980
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 4: an hour before your event to start your fluid intake.

981
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 4: We want a lot one, We want good water intake.

982
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 4: We don't want d high beverages. But we really want

983
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 4: to focus on the night before your event so that

984
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 4: you're ahead of the game and not just chasing your tail.

985
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: All right, give me a couple of examples of dehydrating beverages.

986
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: I know adult beverages would be in that group, but

987
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: what else.

988
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 4: Absolutely alcoholic beverages of any kind can be dehydrating. Beverages

989
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 4: with caffeine also because of the anti diuretic cormone also

990
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 4: can be very dehydrating. So think about your tea, your coffee,

991
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 4: all of the Starbucks' fun fufoo drinks. But the biggest

992
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,479
Speaker 4: thing is people asking about green tea and some of those.

993
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 4: I think some of the orange teas and the green

994
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 4: teas are a little bit less caffeinated, but you'll have

995
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 4: to look on the label because you don't know when

996
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 4: they sneak in. Other caffeine substitutes like guarana or some

997
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 4: of the other hydrating stimulants.

998
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 1: What about Yeah, those little powder packets that I see

999
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,879
Speaker 1: people use those for electrolytes things like that. What would

1000
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: you recommend going outside the general H two O box.

1001
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think a lot of people look at a

1002
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 4: lot of different name brands CATERATEE and Powerate and liquid

1003
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 4: IV and all the different things. Celsius has a brand,

1004
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 4: et cetera. A lot of those are electrolyte components that

1005
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 4: are supposed to help you replace the sodium and the

1006
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,720
Speaker 4: potassium that we lose while we sweat. When you lose

1007
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 4: those salt components, you can sometimes have rocky sweat. And

1008
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 4: so replacing those electrolytes, either with food or with beverages

1009
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 4: that contain electrolytes, is very important because we don't want

1010
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 4: you to lose too much salt, just like we don't

1011
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 4: want you to overhydrate. The dangers of sodium and potassium

1012
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 4: balance can be really kind of concerning. And you hear

1013
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 4: about those stories of someone who drink too much water

1014
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 4: and dive. Those are not our primary concerns for the

1015
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,479
Speaker 4: general public. Eat and drink your normal foods, drink your water,

1016
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 4: drink your electrolytes. But if you're an athlete, those powders

1017
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 4: can be really helpful because you can put them in

1018
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 4: your normal water rather than searching for what kind of

1019
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 4: beverage you can purchase.

1020
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: So back in the days of the Junction Boys, when

1021
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: they were doing the salt tablets, they had part of

1022
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 1: it right. They just didn't give the guys water, which

1023
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: was a big mistake. The salt part of it could

1024
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: have been correct, absolutely.

1025
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 4: And that's why you hear about people drinking pickle juice

1026
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 4: when they're cramping and chewing toms and other things because

1027
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 4: they can get their sodium, potassium, magnesium. You know. The

1028
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 4: different tablets that we used to do were very helpful,

1029
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 4: but the water and the balance is really key. And

1030
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 4: you know, it all depends on if you're a rocky sweater,

1031
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 4: if you're just kind of a graceful glistener.

1032
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 2: Graceful listener. I like it. Doctor, Thanks so much for
