1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Welcome into Texans All Access on a Tuesday, just visited 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: with a few players on the Players Show. Love that 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: interview with Phillip Dorset, by the way, yes, antic, you know, 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: really interesting and Johnny went full Harris Strader. Should we 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: call it the Harris Strader or the Hellustrator or the 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: Johnny Strader. We need a name for it, Harris and tellistrator. Yeah, 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: but it sounds like the word hell is in there, 8 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: and that's your Dorty's also here, by the way, but 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: it's the hell Strator that's ear catching. I like that. Yeah, 10 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: I like the Hella Strader. Well, there's the Bellustrator in 11 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: New England and we all know what he's probably drawing 12 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: up today, which is this is why I changed quarterbacks 13 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: and why it didn't work anyway. But yeah, Dorsett was great. 14 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: And I brought up that University of Miami track and 15 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: field team back in the day because Andre Johnson and 16 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: Clinton Portis and whoever else used to show up and 17 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: read through Oh my gosh, Wilfork shot put. I always 18 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: thought that would be it's kind of a skit, but 19 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: not really. It's such an inside thing. But all these 20 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: track and field athletes working so hard all year long, 21 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: and then the Kanes football players show up at the 22 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: Big East Championship and they're like, step aside, we got this, 23 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: and they're these world class athletes, dominatable. Yeah, but Philip said, 24 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, Miami's program is way better now and that 25 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't be as possible today or possible at all. So 26 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: that was interesting to me. Well, yeah, I mean he 27 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: is blazing fast. I think this offseason I asked Ben 28 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: McDaniels wide receivers coach who was the fastest wide receiver, 29 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: whether it was him or Brandon Cooks or and I 30 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,639 Speaker 1: think Traymont said it was him. Out of the DBS. 31 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: We cut some speed there, but Ben didnont He declined 32 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: to comment. But it seems like Philip Dorsett when he's 33 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: out there and he's healthy, Oh man, Like I can't 34 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: wait to see what else did he do? He makes plays. 35 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: I mean in a very limited time. We saw him 36 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: last year here he made plays, and then he did 37 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: it in the preseason again. Think about Los Angeles. He 38 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: caught the one ball on the sideline, it was a 39 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: cover two whole shot, caught the touchdown. He went deep 40 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: really late in the game and it was like a 41 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: fifty yard he drew a r PI because he basically 42 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: beat the guy and they had to tackle him because 43 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: it would have been a clear touchdown. So he just 44 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: he does something to opposing defenses when he's in there 45 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: that really changes things. We saw it this weekendemy, he 46 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: caught the touchdown. He can he can make some things 47 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: happen if he's in the game. I think he might be. 48 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: We're probably gonna see more of him, certainly because of 49 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: what we've seen injury wise, but hey, just because of 50 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: what he can do, he might have shoehorned himself in 51 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: a more played time. All right, let's get into some 52 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: of your hot reads, because the transaction did come down today. 53 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: The Texans are signing former Raiders wide receiver Tyrann Johnson 54 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: and they released Tyler Johnson, who was here with the 55 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: Texans very briefly, played in just two games, and it 56 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: seemed like it was a question every single week for 57 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: Lovey Smith when he would be active. That was your question, 58 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: you were all over that I asked, I asked early on, 59 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,679 Speaker 1: and then I think but he was asked in some 60 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: shape or form what's early on? And then I think 61 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: people sort of realize that. You know, it's a special 62 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: teams thing. If he's not on special teams, the number 63 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: and the numbers don't line up. Tyler Johnson not going 64 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: to be active. But in the two games he played, 65 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: didn't have a catch. Kind of disappointing, so that the 66 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: Texans part ways with him. They had another t Johnson. 67 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: This one's a Tyran Johnson. Another former Texan here, another 68 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: former tex you're in nineteen is a rookie, undrafted rookie 69 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: out of Oklahoma State. I vaguely remember him because he 70 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 1: was on practice squad and then he sort of bounced around. 71 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: I know he was really fast too, undrafted out of 72 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, ran a fourth three four pro day. So 73 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: they get a little bit faster on wide receiver and 74 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: maybe that'll be something he can bring to this offense 75 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: as well. Tyler Johnson, we hardly knew ye and we 76 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: all thought, well, maybe he'll do something. But yeah, look 77 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,839 Speaker 1: it wasn't all him. We don't see much of that 78 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: practice portion where they're really proving their worth or not. 79 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: And he barely got in there in formations. I barely 80 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: called his name at all. You know, it's always the 81 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: usual guys in there, and Tyler Johnson was out there 82 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: a few times, but obviously no catches, so he moves on. 83 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. I think the expectation was high 84 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: because we saw the highlight reel of him catching a 85 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: pass from Brady in the playoff game, and you know, 86 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: I thought you could he could probably do something here, 87 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: but just unfortunately never really made it on the field. 88 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: Maybe he ends up back there in Tampa Bay because 89 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: they need help. Yeah they do. I don't know if 90 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: it's just that, but they need help. They're really sort 91 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: of help in Tampa Bay wide receivers. Did you see 92 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: Mike Evans and the official signing after some initially a 93 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: lot of folks and maybe some folks still do they 94 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: thought he was signing on an autograph for the official, 95 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: But this morning the story comes out that this guy 96 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: is an aggie. Mike Evans is an aggie, and this 97 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: guy was telling Evans about some golf pro that he 98 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: could work with when he when he wants to play golf. 99 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: So just sort of an odd because it got caught 100 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: on camera. He getting he was jotting down the number, 101 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 1: but didn't have a piece of paper, so he brought story. 102 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: It is a likely story, but there's still some folks 103 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: that are like, yeah, sure it matches up when you 104 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: go back and watch it. That Galveston's Mike Mike Evans. Yeah, 105 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: does the official really need to chase him down on 106 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: the field or in a viewing area. He could do it, 107 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: you know, in the locker rooms something like that, But 108 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: I guess the golf thing makes a little more sense 109 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: in that way. I doubt officials are seeking players autographs. Yeah, 110 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, I get asked. I know you guys get 111 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: asked this all the time. Can you get me so 112 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: and So's autograph. I've done it with what once And 113 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: that was back in the early what days, and somebody 114 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: really wanted it was personalized, and I wrote JJ a note, Hey, 115 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: would you mind this is too so and so for 116 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: this reason or whatever, and he's like, yeah, I'll do it, 117 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: just leave it by my locker And I did it. 118 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: And Andre Johnson I used to do it back in 119 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: the day, like once a year for somebody, But it 120 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: was always a personalized thing, not like can you sign 121 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: this because it's going to be on eBay later. Would 122 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: never do that. Yeah, as long as it's personalized, you 123 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: don't have to worry about it. I get I used 124 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: to get weird requests, like I'd love to photograph some 125 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: things around his house. Can you let him know that 126 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: I'm a photographer. Sure, it's like he's like an Esquire 127 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: and all these magazines. I think he's got the photography 128 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: part covered. Yeah. Speaking of Evans, name a better receiver 129 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,679 Speaker 1: all time NFL history from the state of Texas, from 130 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: the state than Mike Evans. I hope you've researched this, 131 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: so I'm not. I not forgetting somebody obvious. The only 132 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: guy I could really come up with would be Raymond 133 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: Barry back in the days like John United has thrown 134 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: to him. Man, Raymond Barry deeps like bad cheese face. No, 135 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: I know, I was thinking of Texas receivers exactly, exactly. 136 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: There's gotta be more the state of Texas. There's been 137 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: a zillion running backs, receivers not so much. See I 138 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 1: get accused of dated references, but Raymond everyone. Yeah, I 139 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: mean Raymond Barry was the head coach of the New 140 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: England Patriots when they lost to the Bears badly in 141 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I forget the number twenty five. I think 142 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: it was nineteen eighty five. I think the love child 143 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: of Vince Lombardi, Bill Belichick, Tom Landry and Don Shula 144 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: could have coached that Patriots team and still lost the 145 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: same way. Yeah, that Bears team was going to beat anybody. Yeah, 146 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: they were very good. And Barry was an interesting coach 147 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: because he had never had any coordinator experience. I actually 148 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: referenced Raymond Berry when David Culley got hired because I 149 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: was looking for something. I was looking for something to 150 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,679 Speaker 1: back this up, and I said, look, Raymond Barry stepped 151 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: out of the Patriots situation and did some remarkable things. 152 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: And he stepped in while the season was going on 153 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: because Ron Meyer, the late Ron Meyer, who I know 154 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: you're very familiar with coasting. Yeah. Yeah, And bron Meyer 155 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: got whacked and then it was well fired, and then 156 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: it was Raymond Berry taking over. Manuel Sanders, Gordon Nopean 157 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: was ban from. Yeah he's Texas. They're not as good 158 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: as Mike Evans. Yeah, Bryant's really good. Does Bryant If 159 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: you look at Mike Evins numbers, Yeah, Amndola would say himself, 160 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: I'm not Mike Evans. You know the thing about Mike Evans, 161 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: don't you agree if Mike Evans played in New York 162 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: or for Dallas or some other team. To get into 163 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame right now, he wouldn't have to retire. 164 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: They would they would anoint him. If you look at 165 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: his the touchdown production. I know he had that big 166 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: drop on Sunday. Everybody that made the rounds right, but 167 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,559 Speaker 1: that was a horrible game for the Buccaneers. Mike Evans. 168 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: If you look at the number since he's entered the league, 169 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: it's incredible. Every Winston throwing on the ball, or Brady 170 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,679 Speaker 1: or whoever they have there, it's really notable. That's close. 171 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean that's close. But I think Evans 172 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: is better. Tim Brown's really Tim Browns. I think Evans 173 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: is better. You preface it like there is no other 174 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: wide receiver that even comes close. Well, he's the closest. Yeah, Okay, yeah, 175 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: I mean it is. It's something to bring up, for sure, 176 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: and it's good talk radio stuff. It might expected, but good, 177 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: it might expect that very hot reads. It might have 178 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: been Texas Texan who played out of Texas College, so 179 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: that would rule out Brown, but I'll just all go Texan. Oh, 180 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you for allowing me to have him 181 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: all right, He's never had less than a thousand yards. Right, 182 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: this is Mike Evans. Uh double digit touchdown years one, two, three, four, 183 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: and then eight a well three this year. I mean 184 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: those are big numbers. I'm grey Johnson as great as 185 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: he is, and he's going into the Hall of Fame. 186 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: Never had a double digit touchdown yere. Now that was 187 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: kind of unusual considering his other numbers, But Mike Evans 188 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: is sensational. We could also say that that contributed to 189 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: the demise of Johnny Manziel, because I mean Johnny Manziel 190 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: looked fantastic all throughout college, at his pro day and 191 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: then once he was not with Mike Evans anymore. I 192 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: mean we know Travis Labhart either. Well maybe Mike Evans 193 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: should have won the Higsman, but Mike, but during but 194 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: do you remember us talking, I mean, none of us 195 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: really talked about Mike Evans way that we talked about 196 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel. Now we should absolutely not her. You know, 197 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: one more thing about him, and this all brings it 198 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: back to Galveston, Like Drew said, that's where he played 199 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: at ball and I played golf accidentally and incidentally in 200 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: Galveston with his high school basketball coach Mike Clanicky, who's 201 00:09:54,280 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: actually the uncle of Colin Gillespia. So it's all related, folks. 202 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: Colin Gillespie a former Tech seventh round pick. Yeah. Yeah, 203 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: but they're Galveston proud athletic tradition and musical tradition because 204 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: Barry White went to Galveston ball so deep, maybe more 205 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: hot reas and like, I don't really know how to 206 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: go from there. All over the plays the Boxer maybe 207 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: the greatest that's going back, that's going now. There's been 208 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: a movie made of him. Rights, Yeah, you've lost all 209 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: control controls, All right, go ahead, We've just we're here 210 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: for it. Let's bring it back to now, bring back 211 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: to injuries. Everybody. The Texans have a number of players 212 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: to watch. I mean, it's like like we have not 213 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: had a lot of injuries throughout the season, and it 214 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: seemed like this game against the Raiders was the game 215 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: that sort of made up for all the other games. 216 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: But to lose Malik Collins, Nico Collins, and then towards 217 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: the end Kenyon Green and Titus Howard, which I don't 218 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: think we're talking enough about. They came back though they 219 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: came back in the game, but what to what extent 220 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: Because I don't know about Kenyon Green. He's been dealing 221 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: with injury in camp, so I think he'll be someone 222 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: to watch. But Nico Collins with the groin injury, I 223 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: think that's a concern. Yeah, I think signing Tyrn Johnson, 224 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what it says about Nico 225 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: Collins and his health. I don't know either soft tissue injury. 226 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: And then last week he was on the injury report. 227 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: I think it was for something unrelated. But Malik Collins 228 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: now dealing with a chest injury. Don't really know what 229 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: his status is. Levey Smith obviously not commenting on it. 230 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: We'll find out the injury report tomorrow. Yeah, I'm hoping 231 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: for the best with Nico. He was starting to play 232 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: really well. That first play from scrimmage was a fifteen 233 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: yard completion, and bet you know everyone's expecting Pierce in 234 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: some way, shape or form, and then you go to 235 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: Nico for a fifteen yard game just to get the 236 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: party started right for the Houston Texans. And I love 237 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. But as we talked to Philip 238 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: Dorset last hour, as we talked to some of these 239 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: other players, obviously Cooks. Maybe you can make something happen 240 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 1: through the year without Nico. I mean, obviously you can. 241 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: You got Jordan Nakins. You have other past catchers, but 242 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 1: it's usually a receiver. I mean, it hurts losing your 243 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: leading receiver. He was very, very quietly did that. I mean, 244 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: he going into the last game had the most receiving ardage. 245 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: I haven't looked and seeing what it is now, but 246 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: I kind of think it's still around the top, the 247 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: tippy top. I mean, yeah, he was coming into his own. 248 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: We talked about speed at the top of the show. Sneaky, 249 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: sneaky fast. You never say that about a wide receiver. 250 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: But his long legs, big frame combined with his speed, 251 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: I mean, he can move. And he was really starting 252 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: to come into his own. And we're not saying the 253 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: season's over by any means, but you do worry a 254 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: little bit. And then we haven't even talked about Malik Collins. 255 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: What happened the last What's happened every game this year? 256 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: The opponents have been able to pretty much run and 257 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: do what they want on the Texans defense, and he's 258 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: as Lovey Smith as described the engine of the defense. 259 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: You know, playing that three technique spot there in the middle. Yeah, 260 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: and you've got Derrick Henry coming into the building coming 261 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: off three straight one yard rushing games. I mean, I 262 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: think that's going to be huge for this defense had 263 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: really struggled against the run, and I think Lovey the 264 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: fact that he even alluded to the fact that was 265 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: a big part of their defensive issues was losing him 266 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: after just ten plays, Yeah, worrisome. That is a big problem. 267 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: And it's not like you've been sensational against the run 268 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: with him, but without him, I'm wondering what they're going 269 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: to do. At least if they don't have him on Sunday, 270 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: they have time to prepare without him, without you know, 271 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: knowing he's well, with knowing he's not going to be 272 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: in the lineup. I think that's a big factor because 273 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: to lose him in the course of a game and 274 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: not get him back at all in that contest, that's big, right. 275 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,599 Speaker 1: And when you're played up back like Jake, especially the 276 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: way he exited, he gets up, he's down there like 277 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: Texans are backed up in their end of the field, 278 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: and he doesn't even go to the sideline. He just 279 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: walked to the corner. Tunnel with one of the trainers. 280 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: I mean it was it was like, oh, so yeah, 281 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: not encouraging, Well you don't. He brought up a good 282 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: point about Nico Collins because even on the TV broadcast 283 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: they referred to him as the Texans leading receiver. Does 284 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: that mean? Do you do you think people outside of 285 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: Houston view him as the number one threat over Brannan Cooke. 286 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: I think Brandon Cooks is the guy I would saying statistically, 287 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: but you know, he's coming into his own and could 288 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: soon be. But I'm not ready to say yeah, right, 289 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: he's not consistently delivering, but it does. You're right, it's 290 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 1: been sneaky how he's sort of maybe people would think that, 291 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, Cooks is the guys that people knowledgeable 292 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: football fans know about and think about, but a lot 293 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: of people forget about him. At the same time, I 294 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: think he's been that way in a lot of teams. 295 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: He's so productive and has been throughout his career. But 296 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: sometimes I don't want to say he's an afterthought. He 297 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: shouldn't be. Ever, believe me, the opponent knows about him. 298 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: To lose Niko, if you lose him for a bit 299 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: or whatever, it's going to be that's tough, but we'll 300 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: see how they put it together again. They do have 301 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: other options, and they have guys in the practice squad, 302 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: and we asked Philip about who's who's down there, just 303 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: to talk about those guys like Jail and Camp and 304 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: Drew Estrada, you know, players who could possibly help this 305 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: team if needed. All right, Well, Christian Harris made his 306 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: NFL debut sixty eight percent of plays on defense, and 307 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: Lovey Smith I asked him about it yesterday the press conference. 308 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: It sounds like that package could increase moving forward. So 309 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: if you look the stat sheet, he only had one 310 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: tackle it was on Josh Johnson, but moving forward, he 311 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: said he liked what he saw some flash plays. I mean, 312 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: it seems like we have really been waiting to see 313 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: Christian heiris get back in the lineup and help against 314 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: the run as well. Yeah, he had that nice stop 315 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: on Jacob's got him kind of right behind the line 316 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: of scrimmage first half. But he we talked with him 317 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: in the locker room afterwards and he was not happy. 318 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: I mean he was not and not that anybody else was. 319 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: Christian Harris, Yeah, not that anybody else was singing and dancing, 320 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: but he you could tell he's got some stuff he 321 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: wants to work on, he wants to improve, and people 322 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: were kind of giving him the questions with the benefit 323 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: of the doubt, like, hey, this is your first action 324 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: in almost a year. What and he was He's like, 325 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: I don't, you know, I don't like the way I 326 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: saw things. I don't don't I'm not happy with what 327 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: I did. You know, I don't like the way things 328 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: turned out for this team. So I'm excited because you 329 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: hear Lovey Smith say, listen, he's got a great out, 330 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: a lot better than he did today. And I thought 331 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: he did okay, But I can't wait to see what 332 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: the future holds because he's an important part of this future. 333 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: No preseason, no game speed indicator. Yeah, look, he gets 334 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: practices this time versus training camp practices. Training camp practices 335 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: are action and adventure on the football field. Practices now 336 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: are Look, they're physical, but they're not nearly to the 337 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: degree of training camp practices. So for him, that's his 338 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: first real taste. This is an elite football player. Think 339 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: about all these guys who come from these huge programs 340 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: like Alabama, Clemson. They're not used to losing games. They're 341 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: losing some games here, and you know guys like Jail 342 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: and Petrie Baylor enormous success last year. He was part 343 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: of it. Obviously, they're not used to this kind of thing, 344 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: so they take it very personally. When they're side of 345 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: the ball or their department, their position group doesn't do 346 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: as well as they want them to do. That's going 347 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: to be tough, So I expect him to get a 348 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: whole lot better. All right. Another guy that could see 349 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: some more carries, or could he Dari Goomba Walle Did 350 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: he make the case to be on the field for 351 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: more offensive snaps. Let's listen to Levey Smith, because you 352 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: tell me, I'll get the love he translator out. We 353 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 1: haven't had to use it because we really don't need it, 354 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: but let's listen to this. What we did see is 355 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: production from Dare. He's been waiting patiently for an opportunity 356 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: and he got it yesterday. And he has some flash 357 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: plays that make that caught all of our attention a 358 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: little bit, so we believe and we go on what 359 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: we see out there. Once a player gets an opportunity 360 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: for a few more cares, and he took advantage of 361 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: his yesterday. All right, my assessment through the Lovey translator 362 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: is Dari's gonna get some touches. Okay, He's gonna get 363 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: some carry, He's gonna get some throws his way. I'm 364 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,719 Speaker 1: not sure how, when, how it all works out, what 365 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: it means for Rax, but Darry's gonna play a little 366 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: bit and he deserves too. He can move. We saw 367 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: it in the preseason. We saw it Sunday in in 368 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: the final driver on the final drive, and you interest, 369 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: you hear that question that was asked of Lovey in 370 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: the press conference, and it was kind of it's kind 371 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: of rationalized by saying, you know, it was trash time 372 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: and you were out. They didn't see this, but I'm paraphrasing, 373 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: they were playing you differently, and love he pointed out, well, 374 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: he took advantage of that. You know, maybe they were 375 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: playing it differently, but he got those chunks of yards. 376 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: He only had one carry, one for eight yards, but 377 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: he had the twenty three yard reception and help move 378 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: the chains some of those times. And yeah, you want 379 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: it to happen in the course of the game and 380 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: get you a lead. But this guy can play, and 381 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: he's been around the block, so you know he's not 382 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: gonna do anything untowards is like that a rookie might do. 383 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying Damian Pierce does that, but he's 384 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: somebody that's fairly reliable. It's one of your best special 385 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: teams players. But yeah, it looks like he might get 386 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: a chance on offensive. If you listen to what Love 387 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: he was saying, he saw with your own eyes what 388 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: the guy was doing. He's probably gonna play some more. Anyway. 389 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 1: It brings it full circle. That's the main reason with 390 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: Tyler Johnson was never able to help on special teams. 391 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: Now you've got Dara Gumbala, who you know helps on 392 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: special teams, and he can help you in the run game. 393 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: Plus as a receiving threat. I mean fifty four yards 394 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: it's good. I mean he did rack up those catches 395 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: pretty efficiently. So with the injury to Nico Collins, I'm 396 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: curious to see how that really factors in how much 397 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: more that you d be four you even hit the 398 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: field last week on offense. On Thursday, when the coordinators 399 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: talk Frank Ross, special teams coordinator, he answered three different 400 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 1: questions about Dry and was singing his praises. So this 401 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: is a guy who's been a good addition to the team. 402 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: It's a second time here. Remember he was a rookie 403 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: in seventeen, went through camp and otays and all that stuff. Undrafted. 404 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: He's done some nice things in his second go round here. 405 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: All right, somebody else that's done some nice things, Davis Mills. 406 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: I mean, what an offensive improvement. Really. Unfortunately the Texans 407 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: couldn't pull out the win, but offensively that was definitely 408 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: a bright spot in Sunday's game. They finished with four 409 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: hundred and four net yards on offense, two hundred ninety 410 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: six yards passing were successful, and sixty percent of third 411 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: down Those are all single game highs this season. What 412 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: did you take away from what you saw from Davis Mills? Better? 413 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: A lot better? I mean what I loved. There were 414 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: numerous things I loved. A little improv push passes, shovel passes. 415 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: I thought those were great because I hadn't seen those before, 416 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: and just to have the presence of mind to make 417 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: something happen and when everything's breaking down and whoop, I 418 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: made a little play there. The throw to door set 419 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: that we talked about, not the touchdown, but the other 420 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: one where he spun out of trouble and was able 421 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: to get outside the pocket of find door Set in 422 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: the red zone for a completion on the comebacker. I 423 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: thought that was good numerous others. The touchdown to door 424 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: Set was a laser beam. That was great. Look, it 425 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: was Davis really taking advantage of those opportunities. You want 426 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: to see even more of that. But this is a 427 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: big step in the right direction season high and yardage. Look, 428 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: I know the game didn't end the way it did, 429 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: but we got to take what you have right here, 430 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: which is a developing, young, hungry team and for Mills 431 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: to continue to improve. I asked an enormous positive look 432 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: at the quarterback situation. I think we'll get into it 433 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: later in the show, maybe the quarterback situation around the league. 434 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: You still have this opportunity, with all these games left 435 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: to see what Mills can do. Take the opportunity find 436 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: out exactly what he is before you go into the offseason. Yeah, 437 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: you just said development. In one area where we saw 438 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: some of that development came on the touchdown to More, 439 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: the very first touchdown he through because More himself said, yeah, 440 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,959 Speaker 1: I didn't run the route I was supposed to. I 441 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: was on the same page with Davis and I adjusted 442 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: and if you think about it, it's perfect. I mean 443 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: you want that type of communication, that nonverbal stuff to 444 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: happen between your quarterback and his pass catchers. I was 445 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: very very encouraged ay just when I saw it, but 446 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: b when I heard more relay that story, that made 447 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: it even more impressive that they kind of not did 448 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: it on the fly but made an adjustment and under 449 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,959 Speaker 1: some pretty hostile circumstances. There was a third down play. 450 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: The crowd was going bananas. There, boom, touchdown, Texans go 451 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: on top. All right, do you guys like it when Mills? 452 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: I kind of like it when he starts talking technical 453 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: football stuff because I'm thinking, all right, the guy knows 454 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: what is going on out there. I mean, he's got 455 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: great knowledge of the game. And look, I'll share this story. 456 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: I think Andre and I talked about in the broadcast 457 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: and maybe on Texans Monday. But Andre and I were 458 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: having breakfast on Sunday morning and he pointed something out 459 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: which is obvious, yet maybe we don't think about it enough. 460 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: He said, you know, I was thinking about Mills and 461 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: this is year two, but it's a new system and 462 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: it's a new play caller, it's a new offensive coordinator. 463 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: I know Pep's been in the building, quarterback coach, all 464 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: of that, but Andre knows he's worked with different systems, 465 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: news systems. It takes a bit. And all that was 466 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: true about Mills going into last year is still true. 467 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: It didn't play that much in college, had a big pedigree, 468 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: number one guy or whatever. He was out of high school. 469 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: But he's still where he is today in the NFL, 470 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: learning his way. It's a new system. And you know 471 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: what if in week seven it got better, all right, 472 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: Let's see if in week eight it gets even better 473 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: than that, or he starts to get more comfortable. This 474 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: thing is not over. The script is not yet written 475 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: on Mills. I don't know where it's going. Let's see 476 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: Sunday is the next chapter. For over three hundred yards, 477 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: but no receiver had more than sixty eight yards, so 478 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: he spread it around and hit a lot of different guys. Now, 479 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: you want to get the ws, that's what's most important. 480 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: But he's looking better. You can't deny that. Take out 481 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: the pick six, and it was a great game, but 482 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: it was a pick six, so you can't say it 483 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: was a great game. I know it's not about numbers. 484 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: But look at mills numbers compared to Tannehills. I mean, seriously, 485 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 1: look at mills numbers compared to a lot of guys. Now, 486 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: it's not all about numbers. You want to win football games, 487 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: and they got to find a way to do that. 488 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: But I was encouraged by what I saw at dpeople. 489 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: I have to say, though, you talk about him really 490 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: knowing this offense. On Fridays, we're in the locker room 491 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: and it's it's been you know, pretty quiet and a 492 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: lot of un less a few weeks because the astros 493 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: are also playing, so you know, you just sort of 494 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: hang around and the offensive linemen they have these like 495 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: benches that they've set up. It's I guess where you 496 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: get massages and stuff, but they've set them up like desks, 497 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: and they're always filling out pieces of paper like they're 498 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: doing homework, right. I guess it's their protections or whatever. 499 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: They're just making sure they've got them. And I noticed 500 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: last Friday it was Mills's birthday and Scott Questenbury. They 501 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: were asking Mills a question about a certain protection, like 502 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: if this happens, do we do this or do this? 503 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: And Mills was yelling it from across you know, a 504 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: few lockers, and then they finally machine gun fast by 505 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: the way, Yeah, I mean, he was just I mean, 506 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: I can't even repeat it. It It sound total gibberish to me. 507 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: So then they said just come over here. So he 508 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: went over there and he was helping the old Alignment 509 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: out with their protections and their little worksheets that they 510 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: were doing. And so I thought that was kind of 511 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: nice because he was over there and he was chatting 512 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: with them and just giving an explanation. So, I mean, 513 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: he knows this offense. He's explaining it to these guys, 514 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,959 Speaker 1: and you know, it's nice to see him go out there. 515 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: And really he looked more comfortable than at any time 516 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: this season on Sunday on the road, hostile environment. The 517 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: Raiders had to have that game. Look, the expectations, I know, 518 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: they both had poor records coming in. The expectation level 519 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: for the Raiders, you're supposed to compete for the AFC 520 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: West Championship. The Texans, look, they have high expectations for themselves, 521 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 1: but outside looking in, maybe not as high as the Raiders. Okay, 522 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: let's be honest. And the Raiders got all they wanted 523 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: from the Houston Texans for three and a half or whatever. 524 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 1: Three quarters plus on Sunday just didn't work out at 525 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: the end. Try to do better against the Titans. All right, 526 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break when we come back. You 527 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: talk about stats for the Titans, there's one that's going 528 00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: to make Mark VanderMeer furious. I'm going to get into that. Plus, 529 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: quarterback troubles are everywhere, so let's talk about some quarterback 530 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,959 Speaker 1: troubles to make ourselves a little bit better. It's all 531 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 1: coming up on Texans All Access. Don't quit anywhere, Welcome 532 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: back to Texans All Access. And the Texans they get 533 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: ready to face the Titans here at home. Then they 534 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: turn around and they've got another home game against the 535 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: Eagles on Thursday night. So back to back home games. 536 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: And here's a stat for Mark VanderMeer that is just 537 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: going to make you, oh, no, so angry. Did you 538 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: know that the Titans have not scored a touchdown in 539 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter this year? And their first points in 540 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter in all their games played just came 541 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: on Sunday via two Randy bullockfield goals. Had not they 542 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: were scoreless in the fourth quarter and then they had 543 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: won four in a row. So I think the first 544 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: two games of this streak they had no points in 545 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: the second half. So I haven't fully prepped them yet, 546 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: by the way, but they've been like that. And I 547 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: talked to Mike Keith, Voice of the Titans. We'll have 548 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: that on tomorrow night. He said, you know it, basically 549 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: said in so many words, I'm gonna translate, I'm gonna 550 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: put out the Mike the Voice of the Titans translator. Okay, 551 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: they're not as good as they were. Okay, they're not 552 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: as good as they were last year. They got off 553 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: to a rocky start, but they're finding a way to 554 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: win at games. Mike Vrabel is kind of Bill o'brining, 555 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: Bill belichicking it where it's the game plan offense and 556 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: defense and your manufacture wins. And he's always been good 557 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: at that. Remember twenty eighteen, Week two. I always go 558 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: back to that one because they had Blaine Gabbert playing quarterback, 559 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: they had no Mariota. What are they gonna do? They 560 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: ran the wild Henry. They beat the Texans in a 561 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: close game twenty to seventeen, and the Texans were fully 562 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: equipped to win that game. They had their quarterback to 563 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson and everything else. So the Titans are capable 564 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: of beating anybody. They beat the Ravens on the playoffs 565 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: when they were were the number one seed. They're also 566 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: capable of losing to anybody, like the Texans last year 567 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: at home and in the playoffs when they were in 568 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: the number one seed to the Cincinnati Bengals despite getting 569 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: nine sacks in the game. So you never know what 570 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: you're going to get. I think these games are always 571 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 1: very close with Tennessee. We'll see what happens. One thing 572 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: they've done well is they've taken advantage of winning the 573 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: turnover battle the tournament. They're plus three, they're they're only 574 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: one ahead of the Texans. Remarkably, the Texans are still 575 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: tied for tenth in turnover differential in the NFL. But 576 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: it's worked in the way of the Titans this year. 577 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: So that's something that's been big. But yeah, when you 578 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: say they're not as or he says paraphrasing, if they're 579 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: not as good as they were last year, he can't 580 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: be better than you were last year. If you get 581 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: rid of a receiver like that and you don't upgrade, 582 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 1: I mean Traylon Burks is good, but he's not that good. Yeah, 583 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: and now he's on exactly and then and then you've 584 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: got you've got the Titans defense. You mentioned turnovers. They 585 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: forced three turnovers against the Colts, basically benched Matt Ryan 586 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 1: for the rest of his career as a Colt. They 587 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: ended Matt Ryan Matt Ryan era in Indianapolis. Yeah, and 588 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: I think everyone ended it himself. I mean I should. 589 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: That's really been surprising, I mean real in the off season, 590 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: I was asked by a few different people, like, what's 591 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: the AFC South looked like I thought, oh, clearly, clearly, 592 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: it's the Colts now, And well I was dead wrong. 593 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: You still think about it on paper and it should 594 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: work because you're running the ball with Jonathan Taylor and 595 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: but look, ultimately, your quarterback is going to have to 596 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: make plays on third down and sometimes third and long 597 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: because the running game's not always going to work. And Ryan, 598 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: we saw it here. He can't move around. He's a 599 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 1: statue and he was taking some hits. He threw three 600 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: picks in that game and he's done. And I think 601 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: that's the AFC South news of the week. But I 602 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 1: know you didn't want to get there yet. No, it's fine. 603 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a totally fine time about quarterbacks around 604 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: the league because it certainly affects the Texans. We saw 605 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: him once, when we see them again, it'll probably be 606 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: Sam Ellinger because he's going to start for the remainder 607 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: of the games. But from Matt Ryan, to Drew's point, 608 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: I said the same thing Drew. I said, the one 609 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: thing they wouldn't have to worry about with Matt Ryan 610 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: is too many turnovers because he was known for protecting 611 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: the ball better than Carson Wentz or Philip Rivers. And 612 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: the fact that they have dealt with so many turnovers 613 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: this year is really astounding to me. Now, I've not 614 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: done a deep dive on this like I did in 615 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, but last year there were only twelve 616 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: guys from the two thousand and eight draft class that 617 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: were still in the league. Matt Ryan was one of 618 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: whom Dwayne Brown was another one. There were a few 619 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: other guys who I think once you got to October 620 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: they dropped out as well, and I think that number 621 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: has dwindled down even more. It just makes it all 622 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: the more spectacular when you think about Tom Brady, think 623 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,479 Speaker 1: about that. It was nine years before Matt Ryan got 624 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: drafted and he's still playing and now he's struggling right now. 625 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: But heck, last year he had him on the cusp 626 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: of a Super Bowl win or Super Bowl appearance. I mean, 627 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: think about that. A decade almost longer in the league 628 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: than Matt Ryan. And Matt Ryan's pretty much done now. Yeah, 629 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: I would say he's done. I was surprised and maybe 630 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: you guys feel this way too. The Colts come out 631 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: and say Ellinger is going to start, all right, Fine, 632 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: I know that he was named back the backup ahead 633 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: of Nick Foles, But to say that it's a hard G. 634 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: I believe it's a hard G. And I think I 635 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: always want to say it with the J. Well, they 636 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: put it on the pronunciation guide with a g r. 637 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: If if it's a J sound, then that's on their 638 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: PR department that I'm getting it wrong. Really didn't watch well. 639 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: I watched some, but I always felt like it was 640 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: said different ways by Jeff Wild in those days too. 641 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: I mean they were he you know what he was 642 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: though in those games he was a baller. He was 643 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: not a great passer of the ball. He makes some 644 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: good throws from time to time, but he could also 645 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: run and find a way to get the ball in 646 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: the end zone every once in a while. And I 647 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: know these weren't exactly great Longhorn years, so I'll stop 648 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: talking about them. But I was surprised that they named 649 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: him as the starter for the rest of the year. 650 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: He's the starter for the rest of the year. The 651 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: Texans haven't even done that with Mills the rest of 652 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: the year. What if Eliger struggles, well then it'll be 653 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: Nick Foles, I know, but they named him the starter 654 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. I know, but why 655 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: not just say he's getting the start on Sunday Listen. 656 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: I raised my eyebrow as well when I saw that. 657 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: He was one of the things that folks who cover 658 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: the team up there or hanging their hats on is 659 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: making this a what seems like a good idea is 660 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: a the he's got that winner's mentality. But b he's 661 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: evidently worked with Tom House out at us See, who 662 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: he used to be the Rangers pitching coach when Nolan 663 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: Ryan was pitching there, and he's worked with Tom Brady, 664 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck a lot of others. But they say Tom 665 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: House has basically reworked his throwing mechanics and all that stuff, 666 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: because he wasn't that great of a passer or was 667 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: an NFL worthy as a passer. But they say he's 668 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: worked on it, so we shall see. It's a lot 669 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: different when you're working with Tom House and when you're 670 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: playing in the preseason than it is when you're actually 671 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: in the regular season, and you know, the proverbial bullets 672 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: are flying, but that's what some folks are saying, Hey, 673 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: let's give this a chance. I think it also helps 674 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: that they save seventeen million dollars indeed in salary. If 675 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan played the rest of the year and got hurt, 676 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: they would have to pay him that he's already getting 677 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: his guaranteed twelve million dollars base salary. But I was 678 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: reading because I have family that lives in Indianapolis, and 679 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: I said, that makes no sense that they would bench 680 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: him now for the rest of the year. Must be 681 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: a contract thing. And my brother's like, no, he's guaranteed. 682 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: But if you go a little bit deeper, and I 683 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: think Pro Football Talk has a story on this as well, 684 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: he is owed an extra seventeen point two million dollars 685 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: that becomes fully guaranteed if he suffers an injury that 686 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: keeps him from passing his physical in March, and apparently 687 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: Frank Reich in his press conference alluded to the fact 688 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: that Jim Ersey was making this decision. He does not 689 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: want to see Matt Ryan, thirty seven year old Matt 690 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: Ryan as the Colts quarterback in twenty twenty three, so 691 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: they just they just put him on the shelf. And 692 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: Ers has showered him with praise. I think he tripled 693 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: down on Matt Ryan before the game at some point. 694 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: I saw a quote that said, I've been around leaders, 695 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan is every bit the leader that Peyton 696 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: Manning is, but apparently not as good as Manning is 697 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: a playing quarterback, So that is that problem. I mean, 698 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: he passed Dan Marino seventh all time and career passing yards. 699 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he just had such an illustrious broken nuts 700 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: that started a whole conversation Dan Marino because Dan Marino, 701 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: to me, is one of the greatest passers of all times, 702 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan is Matt Ryan is a great quarterback. Yeah, 703 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: but the j Carbo hydrates in these stabs Compared to 704 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: those days, what Marino was doing, like in his second year, 705 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: the year they went to the Super Bowl. He was ridiculous. 706 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: It's eighty four. Yeah, I don't know has anybody beaten 707 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: that recently or no, he's not many people. Who was 708 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: the first guy to throw for five thousand yards and 709 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: do all these things? And he did it on a 710 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: fairly routine basis, putting up enormous numbers comparatively that stack 711 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: up to today's. And I always bring this up with 712 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 1: Andre Where's nineteen eighty nine, hisman season, and how those 713 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: college numbers would stack up to today's college numbers, which 714 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 1: is saying something because he had only eleven games and 715 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: didn't even play the full game a lot of the 716 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: time because they were blowing people out. One last thing 717 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: on those guys we were active from O eight, it's 718 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Dwayne Brown, Kalais Campbell, Chad Henny, 719 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: and then you got to go all the way down 720 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: to Matthew Slater and Josh Johnson. They're technically active, but 721 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: they don't really play the whole heck of a lot. 722 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: Josh Johnson has played for everybody, like every team in 723 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: the league. His jersey room must be amazing, and it's 724 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: funny that Flacco and Dwayne are on the same team 725 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: right now, isn't it? Yeah? Well, okay, so that brings 726 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: us full circle to AFC South quarterbacks because on Sunday 727 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 1: it could be Ryan Tannehill. He was in a walking 728 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: boot yesterday. Mike Rabel says he's doing fine. So maybe 729 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: it's precautionary, but we could see Tannehill. You could see 730 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: Malik Willis on Sunday. This is really interesting. This really 731 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: forces the Texans to prepare for everything because Tannehill could play, 732 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: not be very good, or not be mobile, maybe take 733 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 1: a hit whoever. I mean, however it goes down, maybe 734 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: he leaves the game. Now you gotta get ready for Willis. Right, So, 735 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: however it plays out, or maybe Tannehill doesn't play at all, 736 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: Willis starts, you have to prepare for a Willis this 737 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: week along with Tannehill. There's no other way around it. 738 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: That puts a premium on prep And you know another 739 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: interesting thing, did you guys see the video of Mike 740 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: Rabel and Ben Jones? Yes? Yes, afterwards, don't get me started. 741 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: How good is Ben Jones or how not? Hey? How 742 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: good has been Jones? Great? That was a great effort. 743 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,720 Speaker 1: Though by Ben I mean to lift up Derrick Henry, 744 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: who looked like he was pretty much stuffed at the 745 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and push him for a first down. 746 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: I mean, that was It was tremendous, not surprising to 747 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: anybody in this room about Ben Jones, not at all, 748 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: because right, yeah, yeah, we're all familiar with him. Mike 749 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: Vrabel pretty darned familiar with him too. I mean, he 750 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: has spent basically the last decade with Ben Jones, with 751 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of hiatus when Jones signed with the 752 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,879 Speaker 1: Titans there for a few years before Rabel got there. 753 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:34,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, boy, Benja, well you're still Look, the center 754 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: position has not exactly been the picture of stability since 755 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: Jones left the building. Right, even when you drafted Nick Martin, 756 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: he couldn't even play his rookie year. He was hurt, 757 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,240 Speaker 1: no fault of his, and you had Greg Mann's playing center. 758 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 1: Then Martin plays for a while, but he's not an 759 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: all pro kind of player that you hoped he would be. 760 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: Ben Jones was actually drafted later. I mean, if you 761 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 1: had to do it all over again, of course you 762 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: had resigned Ben Jones. I think with Brandon Brooks and 763 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: Ben Jones. If we're gonna go revision anist or retro 764 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,479 Speaker 1: or whatever here, you would say, all right, sign one 765 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,479 Speaker 1: of them, Sign one of them, and the other guy's 766 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: probably gotta go. You can't afford to give free agent 767 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: beefy contracts to the entire offensive line. I get it, 768 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 1: because Dwayne was already making a lot of money at 769 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: the time. I get that, But maybe you could have 770 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 1: afforded one of those players. Well, it didn't help that 771 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 1: Derek Newton then blew out his knees in just horrible 772 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: fashion not long thereafter. It was just just a bad 773 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: luck across the board. Obviously you could resign those guys, 774 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: but then you lose a guy to injury. Speaking of 775 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 1: former Texans, how about the fact that Tim Kelly is 776 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: on the coaching staff there. He's a passing game coordinator, 777 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,439 Speaker 1: does not call plays, but sort of. I was talking 778 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: to Jim Wyatt, who covers the Titans, and he said, 779 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 1: it's it's a little bit of a mystery what he 780 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,240 Speaker 1: does there. Todd Downing is calling the plays, but obviously 781 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: Tim Kelly and Mike Rabel, they go back from their 782 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: time here, and Tim Kelly said sometimes he's on the 783 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: field working with tight ends, but he's his official title 784 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: as passing game coordinator. They love former Texans intention as 785 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 1: coaches end players. There's eight former players just on the 786 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,320 Speaker 1: fifty three and roster, plus a guy on injury reserve, 787 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,919 Speaker 1: a guy on the practice squad, and then on top 788 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: of that, get what three four five assistants. Yeah, the 789 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: list goes on and on, and it's understandable because we 790 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,359 Speaker 1: always talk about this. You're gonna hire who you know, 791 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: if they're good, you know them, you've worked with them. Okay, 792 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: come on in and Tim Kelly, I'm not surprised that 793 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: he's a good addition to that staff. You know, he 794 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,839 Speaker 1: knows how to handle his business. Mark, Yeah, he's going 795 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 1: to contribute. All right, Let's take a break when we 796 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: come back. One final segment and the Titans actually have 797 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: nine Texans transaction today, and let's see what Mark thinks 798 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: of Mac Jones and the quarterback dilemma in New England. 799 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's really sad about this, so ill coming 800 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: up one final segment of Texans All Access. Welcome back, 801 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,359 Speaker 1: Final segment of Texans All Access. As we go around 802 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 1: the NFL, The Titans signed a familiar face today, Chris 803 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: Conley was signed off of the Chiefs practice squad to 804 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 1: their active roster. The Titans dealing with a lot of 805 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 1: injuries at wide receiver. We talked about earlier Trader, I 806 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: hate this nine. That makes it not in Lee earlier 807 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: said eight fortune. It's not official till it's official. And 808 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 1: you know what, I hate it when a team you're 809 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: playing signs a player who knows you so well. Not 810 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: that there are deep dark secrets or whatever, but it 811 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: just bothers me when this happens. This is such a 812 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,320 Speaker 1: New England kind of move. Let's sign an offensive player 813 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,839 Speaker 1: of theirs, even though he's with the Chiefs recently. He 814 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 1: knows us well, all right. Speaking of New England, Mac 815 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,959 Speaker 1: Jones was benched for Bailey Zappy and last night's thirty 816 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: three to fourteen loss to the Bears. Mark, did you 817 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 1: stay it past your bedtime to watch New England on 818 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: Monday night? Of course I did. I couldn't help myself 819 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: because I don't know if you saw the pregame stuff, 820 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: but when they were showing the exterior shots of Gillette Stadium, 821 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: it looked like the Haunted House on the Hill from 822 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: twenty twelve when we went up there, on Monday Night football, 823 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: and it's all Misty and Sherlock Holmes and it's terrible, 824 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: and you go up there and get your butt kicked 825 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,439 Speaker 1: by Tom Brady. Well, the Bears were doing the butt 826 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: kicking last night. And I couldn't believe the way that 827 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 1: Patriots conducted their business last night. With Matt Jones getting benched. 828 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: I went out to walk the dog and I was 829 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: listening to another podcast. I was actually listening to an 830 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 1: air check of our game, but I was listening to 831 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,319 Speaker 1: something else. Then I come back and Zappy's in the game, 832 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, did Jones get hurt? No, he got benched. 833 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I was gonna say he was like 834 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: a literal shot of adrenaline coming in because they were 835 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: down ten nothing. I was kind of in the same boat. 836 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 1: I saw him score touchdown that I had to go 837 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: help put the kids to bed. I come out, Patriots 838 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 1: are on top. I mean, he got and then that 839 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 1: went away down goodness gracious, fourteen points in the span 840 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 1: of like four game minutes. He came in and took 841 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 1: care of some business quickly, but he wasn't able to 842 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: do it all the way through. The crowd was chanting 843 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: for Zappy. They got Zappy, they lows, And then afterwards 844 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick said that that was part of the plan, 845 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: was to have two quarterbacks, And then reporters went into 846 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,439 Speaker 1: the locker room and sure enough players were like, nope, 847 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: I did not know we were gonna have to. So 848 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a mess in New England 849 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 1: this week, which is weird to say they've got a quarterback, 850 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: a real quarterback controversy, because now what do you do? 851 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: It's so strange to watch the Patriots play so poorly. 852 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 1: They would have a bad game every once in a 853 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 1: blue moon with Brady. Remember the Chiefs game in twenty 854 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: fifteen and they bounced back and it's onto Cincinnati and 855 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 1: all of that stuff, But they had Brady. Now what 856 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: are they gonna do? But this is why the NFL. 857 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: Another reason why the NFL is so good, this kind 858 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: of drama. What is Bill Belichick going to do this 859 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,879 Speaker 1: late in his career when he has two quarterbacks which 860 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 1: means you know what that means? You don't really have one. 861 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 1: Although I think Zappy's okay. I think Zappy could be 862 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: pretty good, but he needs a week to prepare. You 863 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,359 Speaker 1: gotta make him the quarterback. If you're gonna make him 864 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,320 Speaker 1: the quarterback, you know he's a rookie. He's just getting 865 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 1: in there. It's Monday night football. The Bears allowed a 866 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: couple of tds, then they went to work on him. 867 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: And it's not Zappy's fault. I'm protecting Zappy now, the 868 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: Victoria native Okay and former HBU now HCU player. It's 869 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: not Zappy's fault that the defense gave up two hundred 870 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 1: yards on the ground. One last thing to close a 871 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: book on Zappy Talk today he h Albert Brewer said 872 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: that Zappi just confirmed on w EEI that there's a 873 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,240 Speaker 1: shot of him last night kind of mouthing someone something. 874 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: He was actually singing, singing along to Stacy's mom a 875 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 1: the clips. So I saw that on Twitter Stacy's mom right, 876 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: what did they think he was doing? I think people 877 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: were like, what was going on? He said, oh, I 878 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 1: was actually don't be singing songs. And he said, to 879 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 1: be honest with you, I don't even know how I 880 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: know that song. So Stacy's mom, I'm not gonna sing it, 881 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 1: but I'm surprised they played it about the stadium. They 882 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,399 Speaker 1: were probably doing a karaoke thing, like they could play 883 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,760 Speaker 1: surprising thing. That's all they do is play old music 884 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: from like the eighties and nineties, the early part of 885 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: the when they're winning it, none of it matters. No, 886 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 1: they have that stupid horn from the Bruins. Actually it's 887 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: pretty cool. I think one of my favorite memories at Gillette, 888 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 1: and there's not a lot of them, but it's when 889 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 1: they had a Justin bieber Um advertisement on their on 890 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,759 Speaker 1: their big screen about Justin Bieber coming like in a 891 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: month for a concert, and the crowd booed boo. He 892 00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: just booed Bieber. But then they put Rick Astley's that 893 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,759 Speaker 1: came on and they cheered. So yeah, it was the 894 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 1: outfield from us, Like now the outfield song has changed, 895 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,880 Speaker 1: like they just take all the good stuff. I can't 896 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 1: if I'm in a restaurant and they're playing three eighties 897 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: mix and Josie comes on Josie, Oh my gosh, don't 898 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,359 Speaker 1: let them ruin that. So it's already done. And when 899 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: we played here, I get chills. I'm saying, what are 900 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 1: we doing? Poor Mark? Well, you know they'll have to 901 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,360 Speaker 1: figure their quarterback situation out because of course Belichick's not 902 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,799 Speaker 1: going to reveal who's starting in Week eight when the 903 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 1: Patriots faced the Jets, So definitely something to watch. This 904 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: is a big game match and you know the Jets, 905 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,240 Speaker 1: this is like they want to settle all the old scores. 906 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: It's traded for James Robinson too. Yeah, that was a 907 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,320 Speaker 1: bit of a surprise, not I think, both that he 908 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: got traded and that they didn't get for him. Yeah. 909 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 1: I thought they would get a little bit more for 910 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,760 Speaker 1: James Robinson. He's pretty good and the Jets they're needy, 911 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 1: so there was no market for James Robinson other than 912 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 1: the New York Jets. I was a little surprised about that. 913 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:03,880 Speaker 1: But it is what it is. It is what it is, 914 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 1: and so and so the world turns. That's going to 915 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,760 Speaker 1: do it for Texans All Access. Coming up, Texans matchup 916 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,240 Speaker 1: with John Harris. He's going to break down next week's opponent, 917 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: give us a look back at last week and more. 918 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 1: Thanks so much, guys, Thank you for Texans All Access. 919 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,280 Speaker 1: Everybody out there, stay safe and go Texans.
