1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,640
Speaker 1: What's happened?

2
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 2: Everybody? Happy Friday to you wherever you are. Welcome into

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 2: Texans All Access from the Hundai Texans Radio studio less

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: than forty eight hours away. I like saying that to

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: Texans Titans Part one in twenty twenty five, the last

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: time these two teams met at Energy Stadium, it was

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 2: a loss for your Texans in week twelve. It was

8
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: also the last time the Titans have won a football game.

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: That's right, November twenty fourth, twenty twenty four, eleven, twenty

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: four to twenty four, the Titans won a day thirty

11
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: two to twenty seven. In so doing, I think it

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: was thirty two to twenty seven. In so doing, the

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 2: Titans have not won a game. Sets up as the

14
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: last win for the Titans. Welcome to the show with that,

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: Mark Vandermer, how are you doing? You know, I'd like

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 2: that you said. It's the first of two of the

17
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: first meeting this season. We've played one division game here

18
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: in Houston, and that was last week at Jacksonville, and

19
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: it just reminds us of how much season we have

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: left here. We've got a lot of season here, Johnny.

21
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: A lot of things can happen and I've looked at

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: that schedule way too long, in way too many ways

23
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: and thought about wins and losses. It's really difficult to

24
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: do that when you've had a team that's gone oh

25
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: and three, but a team that could have would have

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: should have gone two and one, three and oh, one

27
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: and two something. You look at the Jags, they're two

28
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: and one. They could be three and oh, they could

29
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: be one and two. You know, everybody's got a story

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: like that. Remember I said yesterday, every turnover has a story.

31
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: I need to something with something else. I think every

32
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: something has a story, but it all does, It all

33
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: has stories. And I know what you're referring to, and

34
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: it is what it is, because look at the Cardinals

35
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: after last night. You know they've got stories. They can

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: tell stories, and they're sad stories right now. Especially about

37
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: their uniforms. By the way, Oh my gosh, you didn't

38
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: like them. Oh, come on, you did not like those

39
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: uniform You didn't like them, Johnny. It looked like they

40
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: went through the wash with a dirty diaper. I mean,

41
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: that's what those uniforms looked like. And at first I

42
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: couldn't see them well enough. I actually texted, I texted

43
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: Doug Vasik, who's the czar of our whole rebrand uniform

44
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: upgrade last year, right, and I said, oh my gosh.

45
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: He said, you know, and I'm paraphrasing here, they looked

46
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: better in illustrations when they were showing what league rivalry

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: uniforms were out there. That's what this is called the

48
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: rivalry uniform and the directions are going to get one,

49
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: not this year. But he said, they looked good when

50
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: you saw them in illustration form. When you saw them

51
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: last night, they looked like a burrito. They looked Everyone

52
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: had their line on what the uniforms was. All I

53
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: saw like her team make would make sense. I had

54
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: the game on the TV living room TV as in

55
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: the kitchen. It's far away. I mean I watched games

56
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: like this, but you know, if I'm really focused, I

57
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: go a lot closer. So I was just I had

58
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: it on. I was just paying attention to it, and

59
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: I was like, I hate the helmet logo. It looked faded.

60
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: It just looked bad. Yeah, the regular cardinal is very

61
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: bright and bold, and this looked so muted and nothing

62
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: cool about it. The field looked good, The field's cool.

63
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: The field looked good. It was cool, but the uniforms

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: did not. Anyway, I know, this is not what we

65
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: came here to talk about.

66
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: I kept thinking, you know, about what did those jerseys

67
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: look like? And I kept thinking about my son drinks

68
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: coffee and his curate just spits little bits of coffee

69
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: else like.

70
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: All over the counter. Yep. And that's exactly what their

71
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: jerseys looked like. To me.

72
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: It was like, Oh, they got splattered coffee all over them.

73
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: They were all I like the numbers. I think they

74
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess they had to do something different.

75
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what they were trying to do with them.

76
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: But that said, these ribberries, wait till you see ours, man,

77
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: Ours are next year.

78
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: They're going to be next week. Because they do it

79
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: by division, or a couple of divisions at a time,

80
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 1: these are going to be sweet. I believe that when

81
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: people see these, because I just saw a sneak peek

82
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: and they might not have even been done yet. Yeah,

83
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: it might been an idea concept, a notion of an idea,

84
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: an idea of a notion, but I think these will

85
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: be the most popular uniforms we've got. I'm going out

86
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: on that limb, Johnny, this is gonna be cool. Yeah,

87
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: and you're only gonna get to wear them once, I

88
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: think a year.

89
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: Again. I go back to, man, if you have something cool,

90
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: let them, let me wear it. Let wear it a lot,

91
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: let me wear it. Yes, I mean, just come on mine.

92
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: And I felt being so stated concerned. Okay, I mean that.

93
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: But you know my favorite UNI deep steel dark baby,

94
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: all day long. I want you to toe. I don't

95
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: know if they're doing that this Sunday, but I liked

96
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: the color rush with the red numerals.

97
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: I like that was one of my favorites, that that

98
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 2: all deep steel blue with those color rush with the

99
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: red numerals in the old days, the old old days,

100
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: five years would I.

101
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: Thought at the time. I'm with you. I thought at

102
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: the time, let's just make this our blue uniform.

103
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: Can we do that?

104
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: I was with that, all can you just flick the

105
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: switch and do that? I guess not. The league is

106
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: very we talked about this earlier this week. The league

107
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: is very formal on these things. Very By the way,

108
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: I just came up with a new name for the

109
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: color deep steel dark. Oh nice, I like it.

110
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 2: Last week we came up with be the Difference, and

111
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 2: we would challenge you to be the difference this week

112
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: at Energy Stadium.

113
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: In this week, you're deep steel dark deep steel.

114
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 2: Let's go yeah, because there's deep steel blue and then

115
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: there's deep steel.

116
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: Very dark far where it's hard to decipher.

117
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: We played both those teams that played last night on

118
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 2: Thursday night. Yeah, I watched from beginning to end most

119
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: most of the game, and I kind of had that reaction,

120
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 2: was like, well, okay, yeah, and then when I thought

121
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 2: Seattle was running away with it, was like okay. And

122
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: then of course, you know, Marvin junior, Marvin Harrison Junior

123
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: kind of got out of his head made made some

124
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: big plays, big, big place for that team. They tied up,

125
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: and then the landing zone strikes right, How big was that?

126
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: Do? You've been saying it? You said it all along.

127
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: I never disagreed with you.

128
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,239
Speaker 2: But you said it from the beginning, from the beginning,

129
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: this was going to play a factor in a game.

130
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: And it played out last night. Kick her for the

131
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: Cardinals miss the landing zone by maybe.

132
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: A yard, maybe a yard, and that was it.

133
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: Ball went to the forty one completion in the JSN

134
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: and now they're a field goal range.

135
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: Banged it home. Ball game.

136
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: See you, the forty is nasty twenty yards. It was

137
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 2: one yard miss cost you twenty yards.

138
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: You can't be doing that perfect conditions. You'd rather obviously

139
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: give them the thirty five. I get it. It's easier

140
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: said than done. Just boot it instead of trying to

141
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: be cute. Kick your little seven iron, your little doinky

142
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: seven iron, choke up on it, you know, and get

143
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: it inside the ten. So if they get it out

144
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: till it's twenty five thirty, it's not the disaster of

145
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,559
Speaker 1: the forty. That's ten yards to that point.

146
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: I think were twenty six seconds left if I remember correctly. Yeah, here,

147
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make one small tweak to this whole thing. Okay,

148
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 2: And maybe I'm I don't know, maybe I'm I'm wrong

149
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 2: in all but why do we have to have a

150
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: landing zone?

151
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 3: All right?

152
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: What do you want to do? Just take away landing zone?

153
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: Take away the landing zone? Well, hang on, let me

154
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 1: ask you this. If it bounces short of the goal line,

155
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: like there's no landing zone, you know how, Now if

156
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: you bounce in the landing zone and it bounces into

157
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: the end zone twenty it's at the twenty.

158
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: Okay, So say the kick somehow last night, right hits

159
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: it to twenty one, right, and somehow gets all the

160
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: way to the end.

161
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: Zone, and then they get it at the twenty. But

162
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: at the twenty you don't need the landing zone. What

163
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: is the benefit here? What's the benefit of the landing zone.

164
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: It's a good point. Let's ask Frank this, because if

165
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: you took away that twenty yard line minimum, what do

166
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: you get. No one's gonna want to kick it bouncing

167
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: outside of the twenty anyway because field position. Yeah, I

168
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: think they want to take away the total squib like

169
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm squibbing it all the way down Broadway here? Why

170
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: would they? Though?

171
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: Doesn't what's the difference a squib kick that hits at

172
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: the fifteen yard line and once it hits at twenty five.

173
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: I think there is a difference. I think when it

174
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: hits at the twenty five or thirty or four. Lets

175
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: now with your new rule, Now I can squib it

176
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: from the fifty, right, Yeah, and it's gonna go doinkt

177
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: it to doink and to doink? And is that harder

178
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: to feel than a squibb or inside the twenty? I

179
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: think they have to make it a challenge to get

180
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: it inside the twenty, because if you are able to

181
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: squib it that way inside the twenty, you deserve the

182
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: weird hops and you deserve credit for being able to

183
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,359
Speaker 1: do it that way. I'm trying not to be overreactive

184
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: and be a prisoner in a moment. I'm really not.

185
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: But when I think about it, you know, that's a

186
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: good question when I think.

187
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: About old school squib kick. So, so, okay, riddle me this, batman.

188
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: Where are the two lines? What are the two lines

189
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 2: that the two groups are standing on in a kickoff?

190
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: Thirty five and forty? Is that?

191
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: It is?

192
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: That? What? It is? The forty? So the kick coverage

193
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: teams on the forty and the return teams on the

194
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: third the thirty five and thirty Yeah, thirty five?

195
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: Ye, to me, there just isn't that much difference in

196
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: squibbing a kick that really is going to get through

197
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 2: all of that.

198
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: That's a good point. You can't get through there anyway.

199
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: The way I'm talking is much more than old squib kick. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

200
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of room all now.

201
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: I mean, if you wanted it to be where And

202
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe this puts an emphasis on the

203
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: like the kick just has to clear the first two lines.

204
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: Like if one of the first two lines of guys

205
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: can put their hand up and touch the ball, the

206
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: ball's dead right there.

207
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: Okay, I can give you that.

208
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 2: But if you squib it and get it through that,

209
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: wherever it hits is where it hits. I just think

210
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: the landing zone just doesn't need to be part of that.

211
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: Interesting. All right, we'll talk to Frank. Yeah, I think

212
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: that's something we should That quest Frank for next week

213
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: is we want to talk about.

214
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: Okay, So here's another one. Did you see what Robert

215
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 2: Sala had to say? Robert slo Is the new former

216
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: former new, former new former former new now defense coordinated

217
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 2: from the San Francisco forty nine ers. Basically he was

218
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: Deven's coordinator, went to be the Jets d coach, came

219
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: back to be the forty nine stevensol we.

220
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: Have another stop last year? Did he go somewhere else

221
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: for a few minutes? I don't think he did. Maybe

222
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: the Packers I think he might have been with before. Yeah,

223
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: yeah he did. He did. He did a Rabel there

224
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: like the way Rabel did in Cleveland.

225
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: So forty nine ers played the Jaguars this week out

226
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:31,359
Speaker 2: in Santa Clara, and when solowing up to the microphone,

227
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 2: he made a comment about, yeah, you know, Liam Cohen

228
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: to young aggressive Jacksonville staff, we got to be really

229
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: really good about our hands signals because the Jaguars are

230
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: great at detecting them.

231
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: And I'm paraphrasing. Did he use the word stealing?

232
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: I think he did.

233
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, he used word stealing.

234
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow.

235
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: And I heard that. I was like okay, And.

236
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: Then I start thinking, like, wait a second, you've got

237
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 2: the coach comp system in your headset, like why what?

238
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: And then I realize what he's talking about.

239
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: And I realized he's talking about like when you watch

240
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: the Texans, for instance, And I find it fascinating that

241
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: it's coming up after the Texans game. But when you

242
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 2: watch the Texans, when there's motion, there's movement or whatever

243
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 2: there is, you can see guys for the texts, especially

244
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: as ease, he passes off communication to everybody else. He's

245
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: kind of given you know, you know, baseball signals or

246
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: whatever to everybody else. And that's what it hit me, like,

247
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: is that what they're looking at, they know what those mean,

248
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 2: they know exactly what those things are. And how they're

249
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: adapting to them. Beyond that, there are also signals that

250
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: the secondary gives to one another, where they might put

251
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: their hands together, they might open their hands, you know,

252
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: like a like a fish, but it was opening a book,

253
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 2: or that's what it looks like. And I've seen a

254
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: lot of defenses when they do that. That means palms.

255
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: That's a that's a secondary coverage.

256
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: It's palms. It's like a two. It's like a read coverage.

257
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 2: And I wanted to go back, and I haven't done

258
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: it yet, but I thought it was fascinating that.

259
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: He brought this up after our game. So do you

260
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: think they talked? Yeah, I do, Okay, yeah.

261
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 2: I do, And I think that And that's why I

262
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: find it sort of fascinating because the forty nine ers

263
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: run a similar defense to what the Texans run. Yeah,

264
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 2: it's very similar, sala and because they ran a pretty

265
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: similar scheme, run a pretty similar scheme, and so a

266
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 2: lot of the signals are going to end up being

267
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: the same. And so I started thinking about that about, yeah,

268
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: you got the coach comps system which keeps teams from deciphering.

269
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: Initial signals of plays and all that kind of stuff.

270
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: But it's the post motion, post shift stuff where defenses

271
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: are signaling and motioning to one another that it sounds

272
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: like the Jaguars in particular are picking up.

273
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: And I started thinking about that. I was like, you

274
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: know what, good.

275
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 2: On them, Oh, absolutely good on them for finding something

276
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: that they can do post movement where they can pick

277
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: it up or reading it during or maybe there's not

278
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 2: even motion or whatever. They can just look out there

279
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: and see a defensive back, you know, rub his hands

280
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: together like he's starting, you know, started starting a fire.

281
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

282
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: Well, they're playing this particular coverage, and I just wonder

283
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: how much Jacksonville use that against us.

284
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: Well, you can change that now, definitely, it means.

285
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: Fire right right right now you start deacing them, you know,

286
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: Now you start a left left left, left left, when

287
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: everybody knows.

288
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: It's right right exactly that once they're saying left, what

289
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: they mean, now you start. But what you do when

290
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: you do that is you get them to stop because

291
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: now they're not sure. Now they're not sure. The only

292
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: way that.

293
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: They can steal it is if they know for sure,

294
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: and then it pans out.

295
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: That was interesting this week. That was one of the

296
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: more interesting press conference moments this week. Yeah, coming for

297
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: the other one was Mike Tomlin saying that he wanted

298
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: Anthony richards Say to stay in the game.

299
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 2: Year You me and drey j joke about that at times,

300
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: like no, no, no, no, we want this guy to stay

301
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 2: in the game, like Trevor last year. When Trevor got

302
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 2: hurt in that game against US, We're like, dang it,

303
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: we wanted him to stay in the game.

304
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: And the mac Jones comes in, ballin, Yeah, just dropping

305
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: dimes everywhere. Yeah, you don't want to see that. We

306
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: used to feel that way about Chad Henny with the

307
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: Drive Wars in particular, who played him the wildest game

308
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: here in twenty twelve overtime win for the Texans, But

309
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: Henny put on a show that day. They were dealing.

310
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: They scored a lot of points with Chad Henny the quarterback,

311
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: and then he beat the Texans again in twenty thirteen

312
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: in that primetime game. And it's very Koubiak shown the

313
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: door the next morning. Wow, that's right. I forgot about that.

314
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: He was the culprit. Yeah, he's a he's a kind

315
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: of backup quarterback Texans killer.

316
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: Want you want to see Dre just like the air

317
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: and the backers. Next stand up, Drey, Chad, Henny's coming

318
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: in the game. What now he retired like three years ago? Drey,

319
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: We're good.

320
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: That's a name that just will resonate.

321
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: Uh, kind of like for me, like Shiria is Yuja

322
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 2: two two or whatever his name is from the Charge?

323
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Cya is your two twos? You're a two two?

324
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: Was it Shay? He think? Shay he is your two

325
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: two twenty ten Chargers game. Not exactly a household name,

326
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: No big numbers against it that day.

327
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: That day, absolutely and unfortunately on the field that day

328
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 2: was one of our favorites. Demico Ryan's sat down with

329
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: Mark Vandermier to talk about this one against the Titans.

330
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: Coach, how important is it to stick to your routine

331
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: and situations like this as you get ready to face

332
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: the Titans.

333
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: It's huge.

334
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 4: Our process works. We stick to our routine of how

335
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 4: we practice throughout the week. I feel like we've had

336
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 4: a really great practice. Thought the guys have been very

337
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: clean throughout practice. I thought the guys are urgent, they

338
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 4: were on their details, they were very deliberate throughout practice.

339
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 4: So I'm excited to see how it looks on Sunday.

340
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: All right, give me one or two of the offensive

341
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: priorities in this one, coach.

342
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 4: The first priority offensively is to play clean football right,

343
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 4: eliminate the silly penalties on first down so we can

344
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 4: stay on track. And how do we stay on track?

345
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 4: The second priority will be running the football. We have

346
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 4: to do a better job of running the football. We

347
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 4: know they have a really great player there at Jeffers Simmons.

348
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 4: Got to do a great job of trying to get

349
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 4: four hands on him as much as possible. In the

350
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 4: run game, we've had some efficient runs. Nick has done

351
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 4: a really nice job. Wood He's done a nice job.

352
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 4: We just have to be able to stay with it.

353
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: And we stay with it by not having the penalties

354
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 4: to put us behind the sticks.

355
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: Is it gonna help that Christian Kirk for the second

356
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: consecutive game now?

357
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: For sure?

358
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 4: Having Christian this time around. Think he's called his win

359
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 4: a little bit, so he's getting in the game shape.

360
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 4: But Christian has done a really nice job. We've got

361
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 4: to get him more touches of the football because I

362
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 4: think Christian is really good run after cats. So if

363
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 4: we can get him the ball more, think he can

364
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 4: make some explosive plays for us.

365
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: So they're going to run the offense. They have play

366
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: calling changes. As far as the individual doing it, how

367
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: does that affect things and what do you think of

368
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: cam Ward how he might be different in this one.

369
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, with the player calling change, I think that the

370
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 4: play caller would try to make it simpler for the quarterback,

371
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 4: give him easier reads. They'll try to get the ball

372
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 4: out quicker, give him a lot of quick game, probably

373
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 4: try to rely on the run game with Pollard a

374
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 4: little bit more.

375
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 3: So. We have to be sticky in coverage.

376
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 4: And the thing with cam where he's made some plays

377
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 4: and made some bad plays. Well, him trying to escape

378
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 4: the pocket is where he is a threat. Right when

379
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 4: he moves the pocket, guys have to remain in coverage.

380
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 4: He's made some wild throws throwing back across the field,

381
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 4: but it's been it's been successful for him, So we

382
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 4: have to do a great job right as rushers of

383
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 4: keeping him contained in the pocket.

384
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: We always talk about special teams. Last week in the

385
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: league there were four blocked kicks in the fourth quarter.

386
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: That's amazing stuff. So the emphasis has to be bigger

387
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: than ever there, right, and.

388
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 4: The special teams is always huge. That's the that's the

389
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 4: game changer for us. I feel like this week again

390
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 4: we're going to be relying on our special teams right

391
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 4: to be a game changer, whether it's in a return

392
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 4: game getting no going again, and also just in our

393
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 4: in our kick return game, if we can sustain our blocks,

394
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 4: it's just sustain our blocks.

395
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 3: I feel like.

396
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 4: We're one away from another big play. So I'm excited

397
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 4: to see our guys in our return units.

398
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 3: And we have to be aware, all right. Their coach,

399
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 3: the special teams.

400
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 4: Coach is known for a lot of fakes, so we

401
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,239
Speaker 4: have to make sure our antennas are up, especially on

402
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 4: the punt team.

403
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: We gotta be played with awareness.

404
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: All right, coach, thanks a lot. Good Luck's Mark.

405
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 2: A guy that could have been a hero on Sunday,

406
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: could have been was oh so close, was Christian Kirk.

407
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: He was open. CJ.

408
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: Stobbs gonna hit him. They're gonna tie the game and

409
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: win it overtime. Unfortunately ball got tipped away, but didn't

410
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 2: mean that. Christian Kirk wasn't gonna sit down with Greg

411
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: Bailey from ABC thirteen right here.

412
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 5: When things aren't going the way that you would like

413
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 5: him to go, what do you fall back on? What

414
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 5: were the bedrock principles that you lean on to try

415
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 5: to get on track.

416
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 6: Well, each week in the NFL is a new week,

417
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 6: So just fall back on consistency in our preparation, believing

418
00:18:58,600 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 6: in our process.

419
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: So we're just.

420
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 6: Focus on going want to know this week, and that's

421
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,959
Speaker 6: started yesterday with our game planning and just learning our

422
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 6: opponent and then you know, having good practices. Thought yesterday

423
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 6: was good, I thought today was good. So, like I said,

424
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 6: just you know, falling back into the process, being on

425
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 6: our details where we're supposed to be, and then taking

426
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 6: into Sunday.

427
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 5: What stands out practice wise to you as you as

428
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 5: you try to prepare to get that first win.

429
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it just it's execution, especially for us offensively,

430
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 6: most importantly pre snap, eliminating penalties, you know, getting out

431
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 6: of the huddle quick, you know, iding coverage, being able

432
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 6: to uh you know, get all the things done that

433
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 6: we need to do to have a successful play.

434
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 5: Uh.

435
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 6: So I think, you know, offensively, that's the big start.

436
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 6: And then like I said, it was a ball snap,

437
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 6: it was just executing.

438
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 5: You and CJ connected a couple of times. Big fourth

439
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 5: down conversion. What's starting to develop there is you finally

440
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 5: able to get out on the field and make the

441
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 5: plays that you want.

442
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 3: To make sure.

443
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 6: I just think it's a trust within, you know, repetition.

444
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 6: You know, we're gonna just keep building, you know, each game.

445
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 6: You know, that was our first game together. There was

446
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 6: a couple that we missed on as well, but I

447
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 6: thought for the most part, you know, we kind of

448
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 6: saw the same things. And you know, I think, especially

449
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 6: you know, being an inside receiver, a lot of that

450
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 6: you know, kind of predetermine itself, you know, with the

451
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 6: coverage and whatnot.

452
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: So, uh, we can definitely get better.

453
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 6: But you know, for the first game, you know, out there,

454
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 6: I like where we're at.

455
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 5: For your fans, describe what that means. See the same thing.

456
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 5: So you're lineup at receiver, he's a quarterback, You're looking

457
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 5: at the defense.

458
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 3: What does that mean.

459
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: In regards to how you run your route and how

460
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: he gets you to foot them?

461
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's it's like I said, it starts

462
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 6: during the week. You know, once we are able to

463
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 6: you know, see what kind of coverages they're in, you know,

464
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 6: especially on third downs and whatnot.

465
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: Once we break the huddle.

466
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 6: Uh, he's got to see the same thing that I'm seeing,

467
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 6: and I got to say the same thing that he's saying. Uh.

468
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: So if it's you know, post.

469
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 6: Safety or if it's split safety, uh, that's going to

470
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 6: kind of dictate where my route's going to go and

471
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 6: be able to feel that space. So, like I said,

472
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 6: you know, finding zones, being able to separate versus man

473
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 6: coverage when it does you know, allow me to do

474
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 6: that are all things that you know, we kind of

475
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 6: are looking at each other pre snap and communicating.

476
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 3: Right.

477
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 5: Eight years in the NFL, we're getting close to it.

478
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 3: Right.

479
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 5: What stands out of what about the way this Texans

480
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 5: team has handled this nose.

481
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 6: Of adversity with the oh and three star Well, I

482
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 6: think you know, at the end of the day, you

483
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 6: look at it and you can't get by in this

484
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 6: league with what ifs. But you know, you look at

485
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 6: our games, you look at our losses. We're won't play

486
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 6: away and that's the difference when you play at the

487
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 6: highest level. So I think, you know, we can have

488
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 6: confidence in that, and I know this team has a

489
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 6: lot of confidence in that if we just stop shooting

490
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 6: ourselves in the foot, and you know, in the moments

491
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 6: that we needed the most come up with those plays.

492
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 6: Who knows where we would be sitting right now. But

493
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 6: like I said, we're responsible for this week playing Tennessee Titans.

494
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 6: We know we're a good football team, and so we

495
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 6: just got to go out there and put all three

496
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 6: phases together.

497
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 3: Thank you, yep, of course, thank you.

498
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: All right, great stuff from Dimiko, Mark, Greg and Christian.

499
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: Now it is our game preview time. Let's go Texans

500
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: Titans game preview. Let's rock as The Texans will take

501
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: on Tennessee Sunday at NRG Stadium, the forty seventh meeting

502
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: in the history of this series with the former Oilers,

503
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 1: and the Titans still lead this thing twenty four to

504
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: twenty two somehow, even though the Texans have dominated relatively

505
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: in recent years this series. Johnny, it's weird because you've

506
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: had a lot of games that quote don't mean anything

507
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: like the finale last year. The Texans wanted to get

508
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: the win and they did with Davis Mills playing the

509
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: bulk of the game twenty nineteen here, last game of

510
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: the year twenty eleven. Here, I mean there have been

511
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: numerous occasions twenty sixteen.

512
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 2: There, oh, the game, Tom Savage brock Osweider game, that game.

513
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: There have been numerous games like that, but this one

514
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: certainly means a whole lot to both teams because they're

515
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: both zero and three, starving, starving, aching for a victory.

516
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: So what's it going to take?

517
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 2: Oh, what's it gonna take is I would say better

518
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: offensive play, but that's pretty obvious. How are we going

519
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: to get better offensive play? I think Dinko Ryans said

520
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: it was thinking about it when he was asked on

521
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 2: Wednesday at his press conference about offense getting it going.

522
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 2: I charted every drive from the other day, and I

523
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 2: noticed that the first play of each drive was a problem,

524
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: a problem, Nico's drop off, the tip pass, a false start,

525
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: a holding penalty that wiped out ten plus fifteen more

526
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 2: on what would have been a penalty. The drives have

527
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: got to start better. They've got to be in second

528
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: and seven. Now as the second half, they start doing that.

529
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 3: A little bit more.

530
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: Nick chubb Wood would pound into the line for three

531
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 2: or four yards. It's second and seven, second and six, good. Yeah,

532
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: that's great. It's a whole heck of a lot better

533
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: than first and twenty. So when I talk about better offense,

534
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 2: first down and first play of the drive. Efficiency has

535
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 2: got to be better.

536
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: It's got to be way better than it's been. And

537
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: don't turn it over in the fourth quarter. Whether there's that,

538
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: they know that. Let's go for three things to watch here.

539
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: Here's my first thing. Past protection. We talk about it

540
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: every week, right, it's got to be good. You are

541
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: facing a team that only has two two sacks on

542
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: the season. That's it, that's all they've got. You have

543
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: to be able to protect CJ. Straut of this game.

544
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean there won't be pressures up the middle

545
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: end Jeffrey Simmons and all that. Who is a terror

546
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: I get it, But you've got to be able to

547
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: handle yourself against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday and allow

548
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: this passing game to finally flourish.

549
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 2: At that same kind of line of thinking, we've got

550
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 2: to be better at all three levels of the passing game. Checkdowns,

551
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: short stuff, catch and run stuff. Our screen game has

552
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: been awful. We cannot get wide receiver screens working at all.

553
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: They should work, but they don't. So short stuff, checkdowns

554
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: screens got to be blocked better. Got to know who

555
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 2: to block on our screens, the intermediate game. There are

556
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 2: some things there in an intermediate game that I know

557
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: CJ hit when he was a rookie, but because he's

558
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 2: been sped up so much, because the protection hasn't been pristine,

559
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 2: there have been some things that haven't been there.

560
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: And finally, deep shots. Obviously we've got an easy one

561
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: to Niko, but hitting Christian Kirk on that slot fade

562
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: would have been huge.

563
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: So being efficient at all three levels of the passing

564
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: game for this offense to take it to another level.

565
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: Give me another thing to watch out for Sunday.

566
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 2: Well, I think defensively. We talked to Tommy TOGIAI. It

567
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 2: was fun to talk to him, and he was talking

568
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: about rushing. I asked him aout Russian cam Ward, and

569
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 2: Russian cam Ward is a challenge. You got to keep

570
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 2: him in the rushing lanes and keep him there. Then

571
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 2: you have to tackle him. And that sounds easy, like,

572
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 2: well duh, you get back to your time. A lot

573
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 2: of times guys get back there and they're not squared up,

574
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: they're not in a good tackling position, and then a

575
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 2: really strong, good athlete breaks out of there and instead

576
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 2: of being sacri five yards, he runs for fifteen, So

577
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 2: that sounds familiar. Week two, Baker mayfield the same thing.

578
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 2: He is a stronger guy than you would think. He

579
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: will keep a play alive. So as he keeps the

580
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 2: play alive and you approach him, you've got to bring

581
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: him all the way to the ground.

582
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: As simple as that sounds, Tackling cam Ward is gonna

583
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: be a challenge. Okay. Another thing to watch. Running game.

584
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: They give it up on the ground they have so

585
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: far through the first three games. The Colts ran on them.

586
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: The Colts are running the ball. Well, they're three.

587
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 3: You know.

588
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: They just lost to the Colts. They lost in Denver,

589
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: they lost to the Rams. You can run on this team,

590
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: do it, feast eat, get the ground game going. They

591
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: give up over one forty a game on the ground.

592
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: Capitalize on that.

593
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 3: Now.

594
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: The Titans are saying, right now, we got to stop

595
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: the run, if anything, and force them to pass and

596
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: then go after them that way. I get it. They're

597
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: gonna gear up for it, but find a way to

598
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: get your ground yard. It's gonna make things so much

599
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: easier if you get those ground yards through the air. Yes, absolutely,

600
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: comma through the air. Yes, God, I like the way

601
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:55,479
Speaker 1: we put that, okay, and honorable mention here, harmony, unity,

602
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: let's get to some of that here with this football team.

603
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 2: Is that even Honorroald Metch isn't that higher than anything

604
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 2: else we could talk about?

605
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: It should go on the board. This is what we

606
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: need to create a great atmosphere at NRG Stadium. Get

607
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: a lead, how about that? Get a lead, Try to

608
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: get up by ten? Oh my gosh, get that going.

609
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: Get everybody happy again. Have fun laying the game somehow?

610
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, have fun, and obviously winning is fun. But winning

611
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: happening each drive, each drive resulting in, as.

612
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: Andre likes to say, in a kick not turnover.

613
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 2: Yes, fourth quarter was a kick in the jump because

614
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: we couldn't take care of the football. Finish each drive

615
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 2: with kicks, hopefully more Kymie Fairband than Tommy Towns.

616
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: But do that, okay. Mattress Firm, Sleeper of the game.

617
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: Mattress Firm, the official sleep partner of the Houston Texans.

618
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: Who do you got?

619
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 2: I got Kaylen Block? I think that Kaylin has got

620
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: was that your guy?

621
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: No, go ahead and take him? I got another one.

622
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: I got another one, ok. I gotta get another one.

623
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 2: Uh? Kayln had an opportunity last week, and I know

624
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: he was kicking himself when it happened on the drive after.

625
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: Kymie missed the Fueld goal.

626
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 2: I think it was the play to drive and he

627
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 2: jumped Travis Hunter on the crossing route and made a

628
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 2: great break on the ball, but he couldn't hang on

629
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: to it. That drive resulted in a touchdown for the Jacks.

630
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: If he picks it, he might take it to the house.

631
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: He's got that ability. He's got the ability to jump

632
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: in front of a thrown especially with a rookie quarterback,

633
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 2: to make a make a play on a ball that

634
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 2: the quarterback never sees him coming, and then maybe take

635
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: it to the house. We've only got one interception on

636
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 2: the year, and it was a key one and it

637
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 2: turned into instant points on the next play. Kaln's got

638
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: the opportunity to have one two or more where he

639
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: jumps routes in the middle of the field and then

640
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: speeds to the end zone.

641
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: It'll be nice to see the defense score this week.

642
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: If the offense ain't gonna isn't gonna score a ton, well,

643
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: the defense can add to it.

644
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,959
Speaker 1: But you never know that he'll be a breakout game

645
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: could be what happened in twenty seventeen. That's right, fifty

646
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: seven all times that tries high against the Tennessee Titan,

647
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: and Dylan Cole added a touchdown to that. He did

648
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: defensive score, so non offensive touchdown added there. But my

649
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: guy plays offense for the Mattress Firm sleeper Woody Marks.

650
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: You know he's gonna get carries and this is the

651
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: team in which he can really start to shine and

652
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: open some eyes out there. Hey, this rookie Woody Marx

653
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: looks pretty good. Let's have that happen on Sunday against

654
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. Nude kick at RG Stadium, International Day,

655
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: Go Texans, all right, great stuff.

656
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,640

659
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: different things, but we also did the draft with him.

660
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: We're asking him to draft his best quarterback, running back,

661
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: wide receiver flex quartet from the University of Texas. He

662
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: actually does a pretty good job. That's coming up next

00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 4: a long day, but obviously the honor was was amazing.

687
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 4: Being named amongst some of the best ever in history

688
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 4: is obviously a huge honor. I was on a team

689
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 4: that was one of the best to ever do it,

690
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 4: and so I'm a guy that did my job and

691
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 4: got a blessing from it by being honored.

692
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 3: With that award.

693
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: What did you take away from that experience that helps

694
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: you today as far as keeping a team together, the

695
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: motivation or whatever you can share with us about that,

696
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: how that influenced you as a coach.

697
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it's the process. We always talk about

698
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 4: trusting the process. Some of the boring things you hear

699
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 4: man trust the process, Trust the process. I mean, it

700
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 4: really is really staying focused on what you're here for.

701
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 4: I mean, sometimes things are gonna go great. I mean

702
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 4: I was there for four years, only lost six games,

703
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 4: but the first two years, I mean, the states are

704
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 4: so high at Texas, we believe we don't win a

705
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 4: Nassal championship every year. So if you come up short,

706
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 4: it seems like the world is the end over there.

707
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 4: That's the kind of place that is. So you're you're

708
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 4: you're gonna have some days where people are going to

709
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 4: make you feel like you're not who you are, and

710
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 4: you gotta ignore the noise, all right, and then when

711
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 4: you win, you got to ignore the noise because it's

712
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 4: always it's like a roller coaster. If you do great,

713
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 4: everybody thinks you're the best ever, you're gonna win it all.

714
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 4: You don't do good and we need to get them

715
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 4: out of here. So it just keeps you, even even

716
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 4: killed keeps you. Just focus on what you have to

717
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 4: do and and take advantage of the process and at

718
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 4: the end of the day you'll love the results.

719
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 2: Coach, I found your career for a long time because

720
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: anybody from kind of southwest Houston your leave Staffs or

721
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: sugar Land, rich Roseberg, where I was from.

722
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: Did you consider any other places to go to college

723
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: or in Texas?

724
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 4: First off, shout out a leaf Southwest at yes, back

725
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 4: in the day they had the old school astro turfce

726
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 4: that wasn't two hundred and a million degrees when there's

727
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 4: when it's hot out there.

728
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: Let's be real. That was not Carter. It was put

729
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: down on that field.

730
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 4: But I did, I mean for for a short short

731
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 4: amount of time. One of my first letters is from

732
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,239
Speaker 4: A and M, and so I remember we went on

733
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 4: I believe we went to the the unofficial and we

734
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 4: went to a Nike Camp and uh just just wasn't

735
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 4: my vibe. And when I went to Austin, man it

736
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 4: was it blew my mind. So they were Texas was

737
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 4: secretly the place that that I really wanted to go to.

738
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 4: And when I went there, met Mac Brown and just

739
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 4: the culture there and where in two thousand and one,

740
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 4: where they were they were on the outside looking in.

741
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 4: I felt like, Hey, this is a place that I

742
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 4: can go to and get over the hump.

743
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 3: Help get over the hump.

744
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 4: So I never really even though I talked to a

745
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 4: lot of recruits, that was always at a special place

746
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 4: in my heart.

747
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: Do you line coach rod right with us in studio?

748
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: How do you keep your guys loose yet focused, focused

749
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: on the matter at hand? Beating the Tennessee Titans in

750
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: this case this week. But despite the start that we've

751
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: had win loss wise.

752
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 4: Well, we got a thing we talk about in our room.

753
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 4: It's all about us. And that's a humble way to say.

754
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, focus on what you're doing.

755
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 4: You know, like a lot of times when a play

756
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 4: goes negative, and for us, it's normally something we didn't

757
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 4: do correct.

758
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 3: It might have be in alignment, it might.

759
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 4: Be a false step, it might be lack of hands,

760
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 4: it might be completely not doing the play right. And

761
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 4: we always say, hey, if we do us right, normally

762
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 4: we like the results, so we really stay focused on

763
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 4: our process rather the results are what we want at

764
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 4: the end of the game or not. Like we want

765
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 4: to give our team a chance to win the game,

766
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 4: and we feel like if we could come away with

767
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 4: enough of those, we're gonna win enough games to be

768
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 4: where we need to be. So and at the end

769
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 4: of the day, we're playing football, like it's very important,

770
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 4: a lot of pressure, but like we're playing a game

771
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 4: we all love. And sometimes I got to stop everybody

772
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 4: and just say, hey, we're in the NFL, like this,

773
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 4: this is a heck of a job. So you always

774
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 4: got to keep things in perspective, and so I try

775
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 4: to always keep it like like we're back in college,

776
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 4: Like we're running around, we're having fun, we're working hard,

777
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 4: we're staying focused on what we can control, and at

778
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 4: the end of the day, like we know we're a

779
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 4: good team. We know we're a team that don't like

780
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 4: the results, but all three games had chances to win them,

781
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 4: so we just got to finish better and everybody got

782
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 4: to focus on what they can do to get us

783
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,240
Speaker 4: over the hunt, and that's what we do in our room.

784
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 2: The Monday night game against Tampa Bay, I would imagine

785
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 2: throughout that week it kind of just stuck at you.

786
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: Man.

787
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: They ran for one hundred and sixty nine and the

788
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 2: Baker ran for a few but I know that had

789
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 2: to kind of burning you a little bit. And then

790
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 2: he turned around against the number one rushing team in

791
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 2: the Jaguars and really held them to about half what

792
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 2: you had.

793
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: What they had against Tampa Bay.

794
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 2: What was kind of the biggest key and going into

795
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 2: that Jaguars game to kind of get the run defense

796
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 2: back on track like it was last week.

797
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, at the end of the day, all

798
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 4: all negative things that happened to you, if you turn

799
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 4: it around and look at and learn from it, it

800
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 4: ends up being a positive. So some of the things

801
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: that happened in that game prepared us for the next game.

802
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 4: And always tell them, man, it's like a boxing match.

803
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 4: They're gonna get punching them out. I don't care who

804
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 4: you play. This is the NFL. There's thirty two of them.

805
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 4: At some point it things may not go the way

806
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 4: that you plan it to go, Now, what are you

807
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 4: going to do about it? And it might be the

808
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 4: first half of the game, it might be the first

809
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 4: two series. And so they were able to run the

810
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 4: ball some on us and we didn't like that. That

811
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 4: humbled us and made us go back into the drawing

812
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 4: board and focus on our fundamentals. And I think going

813
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 4: into that next game, we shar sharpened our sword a

814
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 4: little bit and we took on the challenge of Jacksonville,

815
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 4: who's running the ball extremely well, and we were able

816
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 4: to get get back on track.

817
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: Coach putting Tommy Togi in the spotlight moment here we

818
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: had to be in studio and gets a chance to

819
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: play Week three, make some plays. And Tommy's been a

820
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: real contributed contributor over the last couple of years. Tell

821
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: us about that.

822
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 4: We call him mister consistent, Okay, I mean he is

823
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 4: somebody that if you watch him practice, he does it

824
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 4: that way every single time. And Coach Ryan's does an

825
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,919
Speaker 4: incredible job of really building a culture of like, hey,

826
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 4: do it on Wednesday, do it on Thursday, do it

827
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 4: on Friday. Let's not go to Sunday and be like,

828
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 4: oh he's gonna do it. Then do it every single day.

829
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 4: And that is a kid who every single day he

830
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 4: gets in practice, he's very intentional about his stance, his alignment,

831
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,720
Speaker 4: his steps, his hands, and he's making those same plays

832
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 4: during the week that he makes on Sunday. So I

833
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 4: knew when he got his opportunity. I was able to

834
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 4: tell him, hey man, you're up this week. I expect this.

835
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 4: I expect that you're gonna make plays, You're gonna make

836
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 4: an impact, you're gonna make a difference.

837
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what he did.

838
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 4: And nobody was surprised and just just extremely happy to

839
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 4: have him on the team.

840
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 3: And those are the kind of.

841
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 4: Guys that they win you ball games, and was was

842
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 4: extremely excited for him.

843
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 2: Uh the Sunday after, did he give you some grief

844
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: about what happened in Columbus?

845
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 3: Oh? Man does?

846
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 2: He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that's

847
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 2: just gonna be needling you this time because he's he's.

848
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 4: I was talking I was talking to I was talking

849
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 4: mess to him all week.

850
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

851
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 4: I still talk mess to him. So so that was

852
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 4: a great that that was a great game. And I

853
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 4: told him, hey man, we'll see you in the playoffs.

854
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 4: That was a tight game. But uh, but those those

855
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 4: freaking buck guys got the break.

856
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 2: Coach Sheldon rankins and I bring up Sheldon a lot

857
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 2: of times. I'm spotting for Mark, And that was one

858
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 2: of the things that started last year about Tommy. When

859
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 2: I'm spotting for Mark, I'm trying to tell him who's

860
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 2: coming up off the bottom pile. I kept saying Toky.

861
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, there's something there that I keep saying

862
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 2: his name. During the game, I felt like Sheldon's name

863
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 2: was popping up a number of times. There was one

864
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 2: trap play that he played that was incredible where they

865
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 2: try to trap him and any wrong armed it like

866
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 2: the attackle for that was incredible. How has he been

867
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,479
Speaker 2: playing for you these first three weeks coming back this year?

868
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 4: I mean to be honest, he's picked up right where

869
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 4: he left off when he was here. He was a

870
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 4: leader in that room in twenty twenty three, and he

871
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 4: came back and he's I think, I want to say

872
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 4: he's back home. Him and will have an incredible relationship.

873
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 4: And rank is extremely smart. He's like having another coach

874
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 4: in the room, another coach on the field. So his

875
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 4: football IQ was extremely high. So any kind of play

876
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 4: that comes to him. He's just one of those guys

877
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 4: that like he can play it, he can feel it

878
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 4: and like on that play, that that that trap play.

879
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 4: I mean, he's amazing and feeling those things and getting

880
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 4: back in and s feeling it. So it is a

881
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 4: blessing to have him because he's just such a leader

882
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 4: and he's so smart, and it just he gets every

883
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 4: He's almost like a quarterback. He gets every body calm

884
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 4: down in the right spot, and Uh, it's just amazing

885
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 4: to have him.

886
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: We asked Tommy, who's the most vocal guy in the

887
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: D line room and he said, Will, Right, I believe Will,

888
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: But is there anybody else that you would throw into

889
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: that mix or is it definitely Will winning that award?

890
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 2: This?

891
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely will? This absolutely Will.

892
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 4: He sets the pace, he sets the standard, he walks

893
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 4: in and talks it. There's no there's no way that

894
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 4: if you're playing next to him or playing behind him,

895
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 4: that you you don't step your game up because every

896
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 4: day he's here ready to play. And as a coach,

897
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 4: this this this coaching him, it's.

898
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 3: The same thing. For me.

899
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,919
Speaker 4: I have gotten better and I've evolved from the time

900
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 4: I've gotten here to now because of the pace he

901
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 4: sets and I'll say rank rank comes in. He talks

902
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 4: as well. He's like I said, he's a guy that

903
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 4: was uh, that was a leader before we got here,

904
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 4: all right in twenty twenty three he was here as

905
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 4: a leader and now he's back. So like I said,

906
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 4: those two are kind of the guys. D Hunt's more

907
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 4: of a of an example. He sets an example by

908
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 4: his work Earthic and guys, you know, when when offense

909
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 4: is up and they're taking a break, we're always on

910
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 4: the side working. And what you see the way the

911
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 4: Hunt leads, guys will see him working and they'll just

912
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 4: get behind them and they'll just they'll just do what

913
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 4: he's doing. And so we have a bunch of leaders

914
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 4: that lead by example and obviously will very vocal. So

915
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 4: when it comes to my job as a leader and

916
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 4: setting the pace, man, I got guys that if I

917
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 4: wasn't here, they would it was still the engine will

918
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 4: still be running the same. So it's it's it's a

919
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 4: blessing to have.

920
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: Coach you can handle this.

921
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 2: We started this with Xavier Hutchinson because we saw him

922
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: this summer do this. We call it the draft. It's

923
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: pretty simple. You got a quarterback, a running back, a

924
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 2: wide receiver, and a flex player. Okay, category is University

925
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 2: of Texas. You get to pick your all time quarterback,

926
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 2: running back, wide receiver, and flex play to.

927
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: Pick his teammates something. Actually, that's fine. That's fine.

928
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 3: So you're saying, flex player explained.

929
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 2: Fex player, complete tight end, wide receiver, anybody carries the ball.

930
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 3: Okay, I got.

931
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: You can pick me in any order.

932
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 3: Oh, man, of course I got.

933
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's your pick to.

934
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 3: Okay, it's a little tougher running back. Man. Oh of course,

935
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 3: I mean I can't.

936
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 4: I can't go without Ricky Ricky Okay, Ricky. Now shout

00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 3: Man, I gotta go with Roy.

941
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: He's a study. He's a study.

942
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 2: Who's your flex player? Mine would be I knew is

943
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 2: the ultimate flex player Shipley.

944
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 3: Nope, Man, I can't, I can't. I can't. I can't

945
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 3: go without Jamal Charles. That's exactly I can't go without.

946
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: That's exactly what he was.

947
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:14,720
Speaker 3: Jamal.

948
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 4: I remember, I remember we signed him, and I got

949
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 4: to the point that's I guess that's probably when I

950
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,720
Speaker 4: knew I was gonna be a coach, when I started

951
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 4: looking at who we signed, and just like, Okay, what

952
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 4: guy who's gonna help us?

953
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 3: What freshman's on come in here and make an impact?

954
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 4: How can I help them progress and help us win?

955
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 4: We signed Jamal I mean, and I looked at his

956
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 4: I looked at his high school highlights. Yeah, I mean

957
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 4: he was freaking ridiculous, ripping eighty yard touchdowns and this

958
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 4: and that, and I'm like, man, this dude is gonna

959
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 4: help us. And he was a lot smaller than until

960
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 4: he grew obviously got bigger, but his I remember his

961
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 4: coming out party was against Oklahoma, Like he ripped a

962
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 4: like a sixty yard touchdown, and from that point I

963
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 4: was like, man, this dude is going to be pretty good.

964
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 4: So I can't go without having him down there.

965
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: And so you know you're gonna be a coach because

966
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: you were looking at the.

967
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 4: Game, Yeah, like it like like as I look backwards,

968
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 4: I was like, man, like I was already doing things.

969
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 4: I was already kind of shaping depth charts and mentoring

970
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 4: and doing things.

971
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 3: So I guess it was it was written.

972
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 2: In that's for you can put up against any that's

973
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 2: pretty damn good.

974
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 4: Those are Those are all guys, Yeah, every single one

975
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 4: of them.

976
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 1: So you're in there with him.

977
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 4: That's pretty I'm in I don't know how. I don't

978
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 4: know how I'm in there because of them. We wanted

979
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 4: you only lose stix games. I guess sometimes they're hey,

980
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 4: let's pick let's pick off that roster.

981
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 3: It's more than that.

982
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: You congrats on that and good luck Sunday.

983
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 3: Thank you time.

984
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: That was fun stuff coming up. That's the fun stuff.

985
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 2: But the injury report, status report for a Friday, we

986
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 2: got to discuss it next right here in Texas All Access.

987
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 2: Happy Friday, everybody, Welcome back to this edition of Texans

988
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 2: All Access. Hopefully you having a great one wherever you

989
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,959
Speaker 2: are taking in. I'm your host, John Harris Foot playing

990
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 2: at the sideline reporter for your Houston Texans playing the

991
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans on Sunday. So how about this. The Titans

992
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 2: haven't won a game period since beating the Texans back

993
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 2: on November twenty fourth, or twenty twenty four, Week twelve

994
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 2: of last year. The Texans have won one one home

995
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 2: regular season game since beating the Colts. Twenty three twenty

996
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 2: back a week eight that won was the Miami Dolphins

997
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 2: in December one and five in the last six regular

998
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 2: season home games. That's got to change and get a

999
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,919
Speaker 2: little bit of revenge and get twenty twenty five back

1000
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 2: on track. Yeah, one in three isn't great. It's a

1001
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 2: whole lot better than zero and four at this point. Okay, Sunday,

1002
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen in from an injury standpoint, So this

1003
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 2: actually is a lot better than I expected. Texans have

1004
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 2: four names on the injury report. Three of them are

1005
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 2: full participants today in practice. They have no game status designation,

1006
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 2: meaning they're ready to go. Jake Andrews, Nico Collins, Titus Howard,

1007
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 2: three very important offensive players. However, you could argue the

1008
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 2: most important defensive player is questionable, which I will say

1009
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,320
Speaker 2: is actually a little bit of a surprise. Derek Stingley

1010
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 2: Junior did not participate in practice on Wednesday Thursday. He

1011
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 2: was a limited participant on Friday. List is questionable. Now,

1012
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,240
Speaker 2: I don't ever want to take an opponent for granted.

1013
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 2: I know we got to beat the Titans. I know

1014
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 2: we need everybody possible to beat the Titans. But if

1015
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 2: stinging one hundred percent. I really don't want to see

1016
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 2: him going on Sunday, but he's questionable, so keep our

1017
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 2: fingers crossed out of this game. Starting offensive tackle JC

1018
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 2: Latham for the Titans. Also wide receiver Bryce Oliver out,

1019
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 2: Dorian Mouse linebacker questionable, doubtful as Kevin Winston junior, a

1020
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 2: safety rookie Stity out of Penn State. That's it, So

1021
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 2: Texans questionable. Just Derek Stingley junior. Jakub Johnson, however, was

1022
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 2: put on IR earlier today, so he goes to IR

1023
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 2: and sting is questionable, So keep all that in mind

1024
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 2: as we get ready for Sunday. Coming up next, Jonathan

1025
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 2: Alexander of the Houston Chronicles sat down with us. We

1026
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 2: had a great time. Take a listen next right here

1027
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 2: on Texans All Access. We got one our down, one

1028
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 2: hour left to go on a Friday edition.

1029
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: Now I say one hour left to go.

1030
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 2: Mark's actually got our eight to nine hour on Friday evening,

1031
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 2: so we got a couple hours. But I'm sitting in

1032
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 2: the captain's seat until eight o'clock then turning it over

1033
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 2: to Mark. He'll take you up till nine o'clock. But

1034
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 2: hopefully you guys are up there traveling in high school games,

1035
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 2: going to a function whatever it might be. That's actually

1036
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 2: where I am on my way to a function this

1037
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 2: evening to talk a lot about this Texans, and I

1038
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 2: accepted the invitation probably two or three days before the

1039
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 2: season started, and now I get to go talk about

1040
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 2: I know three football team.

1041
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun.

1042
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 2: But there obviously is a lot to talk about with

1043
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 2: this team, and we had a lot to talk about

1044
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 2: with Jonathan Alexander from the Chronicle. He's got some great

1045
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 2: stuff up. In fact, I saw earlier today posted behind

1046
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 2: the scenes article about things going on with the team,

1047
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 2: some really good stuff from Jonathan Alexander coming.

1048
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 1: Up right here. Jonathan Alexander joining us right now from

1049
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: the Houston Chronicle and Jonathan interesting times. Nobody expected this

1050
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: at oh to three. Your thoughts as the team tries

1051
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: to bounce out of it and taking on the Titans

1052
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: Sunday looking for a win number one.

1053
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, we said last week was a must

1054
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 7: wing game, but this definitely is a US win game.

1055
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 7: I actually don't know if there are any owing four

1056
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 7: teams that have made the playoff. I'm sure it could

1057
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 7: have been one but yeah, they just I think for

1058
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 7: more than anything, they needed for their confidence. I mean,

1059
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 7: they know that they have the ability, right, but when

1060
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 7: you lose a lot of games like this, you start

1061
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 7: to feel like are we ever going to win? You

1062
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:19,919
Speaker 7: start to get it in your own way, as we've seen.

1063
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 7: And I wrote a story about the twenty eighteen Texans

1064
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 7: and how they turned things around, and Romeo Cornell, Jonathan Joseph,

1065
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 7: Kaymi Fairbrin all told me, like, really, when we got

1066
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 7: that first win, even though it was close, even though

1067
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 7: we could have lost before Frank Wright made that big GAF,

1068
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 7: winning that game really took the pressure off of us.

1069
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 8: And I think that's what has to happen for this team.

1070
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 2: And what followed after that was a game that was

1071
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 2: gonna have their attention. It wasn't like the next week

1072
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 2: you were playing like an zero to five team. You

1073
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 2: had Dallas coming up here on a Sunday night, so

1074
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: you were going right from the frying pan into the fire,

1075
00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 2: and they were gonna have to keep that intensity. It

1076
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 2: wasn't like, Okay, we won, yes, and you know, okay,

1077
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 2: we can cruise through this next week. No, like they

1078
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 2: had to maintain the intensity. They get that win against Dallas,

1079
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:13,320
Speaker 2: and now it's like, oh, okay, maybe we are where

1080
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 2: we should have been in that twenty eighteen season. It

1081
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 2: was very very interesting season, Jonathan. Offensively, I I wrote

1082
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 2: my know your faux article, and it's funny because I

1083
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 2: wrote my know your faux article last year week eighteen,

1084
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 2: and I made a comment that the three games prior

1085
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 2: to the Texans had three touchdowns and thirty two drives.

1086
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 2: So then I looked up, Okay, well they've played three games.

1087
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 2: What has it been this year. It's three touchdowns in

1088
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 2: thirty one drives. It's six touchdowns in sixty three drives,

1089
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 2: and two of those were a two play drive with

1090
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,720
Speaker 2: Nick Chubbs touchdown against the Bucks and then the bomb

1091
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,760
Speaker 2: to Nico last week.

1092
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna ask you the.

1093
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 2: Toughest question You'll good all day. How does it get

1094
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 2: going offensively?

1095
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 7: You know, when I look at the Titans in they've

1096
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 7: historically been a really good defensive team, offense really just

1097
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 7: set them back. I do think there are opportunities in

1098
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 7: the running game, and Texans seemed to go a little

1099
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 7: bit away from the running game last week, you know,

1100
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 7: and I think there's going to be a little bit

1101
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 7: of a concerted effort to feed Nick Chubb and Woody

1102
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 7: Marks the ball, and I think there's an opportunity. If

1103
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 7: you look at the Rams game, I think they had

1104
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 7: a one hundred and thirty seven rushing yards against them.

1105
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 7: There were two other teams that I can't think of off

1106
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:27,439
Speaker 7: the top of my head.

1107
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 8: Was it Coats played them? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1108
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 7: Two teams had one hundred and fifty rushing yards coach

1109
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 7: ran yeah, and then one other team. So I think

1110
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 7: there's that opportunity there, and that, of course, if they

1111
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 7: limit the mistakes, is going to put them in a

1112
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 7: lot of better better positions and take pressure off of CJ. Stroud,

1113
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,879
Speaker 7: take pressure off of the offense in general, and open

1114
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:50,839
Speaker 7: up things for the passing game so they can get

1115
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 7: some explosive I think Nick Caylee kind of indicated it

1116
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 7: it as well, as like they really haven't been able

1117
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 7: to dig deep into their playbook, but if they can

1118
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 7: put themselves in easier situations, they possibly do that.

1119
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: What were your expectations? And I know we all talked

1120
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: about this, but I forgot already because we're sitting here

1121
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: at zero and three. Your expectations versus what they're getting

1122
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: No one expected it to be this tough. But what

1123
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: did you expect from the offense under Nick Kelly? You

1124
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: wrote your piece earlier this week, and you know it's

1125
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: a really tough go right now. We all want to

1126
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,760
Speaker 1: see it get better. It hasn't happened yet. Maybe it's Sunday.

1127
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,720
Speaker 1: But what about that part of it? Jonathan?

1128
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, So initially when he was hired, it was you

1129
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 7: really didn't know because you didn't know what offense he was,

1130
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 7: you know, taking from, whether it was the Rams or

1131
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 7: the Patriots. But a lot of people have said hi

1132
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 7: things about him, said he was a smart guy, and

1133
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 7: I think.

1134
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 8: People still believe that.

1135
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 7: But sometimes we tend to underestimate how tough it is

1136
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 7: being a first time play caller and not having gone

1137
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 7: through certain things. Then you get into training camp and

1138
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,720
Speaker 7: you noticed that the defense was having his way against

1139
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 7: the offense. I kind of tended to think, Okay, maybe

1140
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 7: the offense is going to struggle a little bit, but

1141
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 7: this defense is going to be elite, right And I

1142
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 7: think that's kind of how we're seeing things play out.

1143
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 7: You know, I learned probably like two or three years ago,

1144
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 7: you know, when I first got here, probably twenty twenty two.

1145
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 7: You gotta trust your eyes in training camp. What you're

1146
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 7: seeing in training camp is probably what's gonna happen in

1147
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:11,879
Speaker 7: the regular season.

1148
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 8: I remember Damian.

1149
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 7: Pierce just going crazy in twenty twenty two and having

1150
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 7: that big year. But yeah, so I think a lot

1151
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 7: of what we saw in training camp is happening here.

1152
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 7: And I think Nick Keyley is really going through the

1153
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 7: growing pains as being the first time play caller.

1154
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 2: We're training camp at the Greenbrier. We saw CJ. Gardner

1155
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 2: Johnson go down with a knee injury, and everybody's like, oh, no, man,

1156
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 2: what would happen if we're without him for the whole year. Well,

1157
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 2: we got three games out of him and then he

1158
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 2: is released. Your thoughts about moving on from CJ. Maybe

1159
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 2: reasons why it was thought to be done now everything

1160
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 2: about CJ. Gardner Johnson and where do they go from

1161
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 2: here from the safety position.

1162
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, at first, I was initially surprised, but

1163
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 7: then as you start to dive a little bit more

1164
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 7: deeper into what was going on, Like the plays, the

1165
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,040
Speaker 7: big plays, exposive plays, A lot of that had to

1166
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,959
Speaker 7: do with CJ. Garner Johnson and not really playing within

1167
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:06,320
Speaker 7: the defensive scheme, and I think that he was probably

1168
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 7: hurt by a little the confidence he had in his

1169
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 7: own ability and not being there for those first four

1170
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 7: weeks after he got hurt, and not being in the

1171
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 7: system and and and being you know, CJ. Garn Johnson

1172
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 7: came in with a kind of bravado that really helped

1173
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 7: him throughout his career. But I think he also thought

1174
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 7: that he could do things that you know, don't really

1175
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 7: fit Demko Ryan's style of play. And one thing I've

1176
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 7: learned about Demiko is he's all about individuality, very much so,

1177
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 7: but you got to be performing on the field to be,

1178
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 7: you know, doing that, and he just CJ.

1179
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 8: Garner Johnson just wasn't.

1180
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 7: And I think that ultimately they felt like, you know,

1181
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 7: they should get ahead of it now and really try

1182
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 7: to steer the strip in the right direction. And it'll

1183
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 7: also give CJ. Garna Johnson the opportunity to find another team.

1184
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,919
Speaker 1: Jonathan, You've been covering CJ. Stroud from the get go,

1185
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 1: been to all the press conferences, all the on field stuff,

1186
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: in the locker room thoughts on his progress. I know

1187
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: it's not the kind of year he wants. There are

1188
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 1: some good things a lot he wants to work on.

1189
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 1: What do you think it overall on CJ?

1190
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think last year was the hardest year of

1191
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 8: his career.

1192
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 7: I think it was something that he really had to

1193
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 7: go through and had to figure out how to find

1194
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,760
Speaker 7: out what was important to him. I think he finally

1195
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 7: found that this year, but it's starting to become a

1196
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 7: lot tougher. He's having to do a lot more with

1197
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 7: less than what he had to do with his rookie year.

1198
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 3: You know.

1199
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 7: I think in some ways there were a lot of

1200
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 7: unfair expectations of him because he had such a great

1201
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 7: rookie year. But I think when you dive really into

1202
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 7: what was happening, you know, I think people assume that

1203
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 7: c J. Stroud was Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen,

1204
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 7: put me on your back type of player. But he's

1205
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 7: not really that type of guy. He's a guy who

1206
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 7: can be great when the right pieces are around him

1207
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,879
Speaker 7: and his confidence is extremely high. He can make all

1208
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 7: the throws and he can be one of the league quarterbacks,

1209
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 7: but not one of the top He's not one of

1210
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 7: the top five yet, and I think that expectation has

1211
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 7: hurt him. I think the new offense has hurt him,

1212
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,439
Speaker 7: and I think everybody needs to get on the right

1213
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 7: accord and for him to succeed, because we know he

1214
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 7: can be a really good quarterback.

1215
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 8: He's just hasn't shown it these last few games.

1216
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 2: Do you know who Nico Collins is? And do you

1217
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:35,439
Speaker 2: think Lagerius Sneid knows who Nico Collins is? And how

1218
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 2: fun does this game become now with how Lagerius sneed

1219
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 2: answered the question of locker room about Nico Collins.

1220
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, man, I tweeted about this.

1221
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,879
Speaker 7: I got my popcorn ready for this because I don't

1222
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 7: think I've ever seen Nico Collins like facial expression turn

1223
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 7: from jovial to so serious in that moment. Now, he

1224
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 7: wasn't happy about the vumba last week, but he's usually

1225
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 7: a joking, happy, jovial guy, and his face just completely

1226
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 7: turns when he heard that, And I got a feeling

1227
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 7: this is only going to turn him up and make

1228
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,360
Speaker 7: him want to go harder. The one interesting thing is

1229
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:10,959
Speaker 7: my coworker Sam wrote about that comment and I didn't

1230
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 7: even realize these guys haven't even lined up against each

1231
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 7: other played each other. Yeah, yeah, so uh, it'll be

1232
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 7: interesting to see this first time matchup. But uh, you

1233
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 7: know that fire. I saw a Nico Collins eyes. You

1234
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 7: know that's gonna that's gonna be a good one.

1235
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, be careful what you wish for.

1236
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 2: I know Eric Murray had a chip on his shoulder

1237
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 2: the entire day and he.

1238
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: Hit Nico with everything he had right in the head.

1239
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 2: And Nico just went and kept running and then stood

1240
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 2: up like I'm still here.

1241
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: You didn't get me?

1242
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:44,919
Speaker 2: Like when he goes to like, there's there's Nico Collins,

1243
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 2: like this nice, sweet individual, and then there's Nico when

1244
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 2: he gets on a field and he gets pissed. He's

1245
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 2: fun to watch. He did that against the Bears too.

1246
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 2: He had that moment against the Bears on Sunday Night

1247
00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 2: Wake through last year. Oh my gosh, they may have

1248
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 2: unlocked the box with Nico.

1249
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: They made out. They may out want unlocked. That's gonna

1250
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: be fun, Jonathan. Are the Colts for real? They play

1251
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 1: the Rams on the road this week's Could they turn

1252
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: into a pumpkin this week? How do you see it?

1253
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 7: I'll say that come week eight, if they're still rolling,

1254
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 7: if they got two losses and they're six and two,

1255
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 7: and then I'll call them a real deal, but I

1256
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 7: still don't have total faith in Daniel Jones and the

1257
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 7: rest of his team, and they'll lose this week for sure.

1258
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 8: Now I have to win this week. I'm gonna have

1259
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 8: to start reassessing things.

1260
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 1: They win this week, oh, they beat the Rams, I

1261
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 1: don't want to see that, Johnny, I'm not gonna be

1262
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: I don't want any part of seeing that. I mean,

1263
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: a Texans winn will put me in a good mood.

1264
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: But a Colts win, I mean, that's gonna ruin my

1265
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: Monday morning. I can tell you that right now. I

1266
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 1: don't want I cannot have it. I don't want any

1267
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: part of that. Jonathan.

1268
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you a dollar, and I'm gonna tell

1269
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 2: you you have to go to an establishment and put

1270
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 2: it down on the best team in the NFL, the

1271
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 2: one you feel most confident is gonna go within a

1272
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 2: super Bowl, and you have to do it right now.

1273
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 2: I'm not letting you wait to week eight. I'm not

1274
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 2: getting you to the week twelve. You have to go

1275
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 2: bet on the best team in the NFL right now.

1276
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: It's only a dollar.

1277
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 2: It's only a dollar, So it's under the olympigure shot

1278
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 2: one dollar? Who you're putting on? Who's the best team

1279
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 2: in the NFL?

1280
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 7: If I had to bet, And they're not as good

1281
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 7: as they were last year, but the Philadelphia Eagles just

1282
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 7: looked like they just know how to win. It might

1283
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 7: not always be pretty, but they're a tough team to

1284
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 7: beat no matter who you are. So if I had

1285
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 7: a dollar to put on, it would definitely be a

1286
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 7: Philadelphia Okay.

1287
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: So I asked Johnny this yesterday. More likely to win

1288
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: their division? The three and oh Colts or the three

1289
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: and oh Chargers who are up by a couple in

1290
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: the AFC West and they've already beaten everybody in the division.

1291
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: They're three and ozero against divisional opponents.

1292
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 8: The way they had three six games and division games.

1293
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's straight to start to start the season. Yeah,

1294
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: I bet that.

1295
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 7: I always thought the Chiefs were on the down Worthspiral

1296
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 7: and they need to regroup. I bet that the Chargers

1297
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 7: will win because I don't know. The Broncos already lost

1298
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 7: the game that they weren't supposed to lose.

1299
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 3: The Colt game.

1300
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, the game then the Chargers beat them, and the

1301
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 7: Chargers beat them, so they already got a game up

1302
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,479
Speaker 7: on them, and I think Jim Harbor is a phenomenal coach,

1303
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 7: So yeah, I had to expect the Chargers. The Charges

1304
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 7: are more likely to win the division than the Colts are.

1305
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 1: Okay, what do you have going out to the Houston

1306
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: Chronicle for us?

1307
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, like I mentioned, I went talked to a few

1308
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 7: people from that twenty eighteen team and kind of compared

1309
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 7: it to what the Texans are going through now and

1310
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 7: wrote about that. So check that out on Houston Chronicle

1311
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 7: dot com.

1312
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: Awesome, Jonathan, Thanks.

1313
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 8: Thanks for having me.

1314
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 2: John's got a great story going off about the twenty

1315
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 2: eighteen team that was also oh and three.

1316
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 1: Now what I remember about that?

1317
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 2: I remember a lot about that season, but I remember

1318
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 2: we started the year at the Patriots. Then we went

1319
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 2: to the Titans and it was a game against the Titans.

1320
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 2: I thought we were gonna win. We just didn't get

1321
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,919
Speaker 2: it done and we were going to We came back

1322
01:00:56,920 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 2: for Liberty White opener against the Giants and Eli Saquon

1323
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 2: just put it on us. JJ had three sacks. Everybody

1324
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 2: was really excited about that because he's coming off the injury.

1325
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: Of the year before.

1326
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 2: But we were owing three and I don't know Lessari.

1327
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 2: I remember thinking the sky was falling, but kind of

1328
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 2: had a similar feeling, like man, I just I really

1329
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 2: thought what I saw in training camp, we were a

1330
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 2: lot better than owing three. And that's kind of the

1331
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 2: way I feel about this team, you know. I remember

1332
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, Deshaun was coming off the acl of the

1333
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 2: year before, Bill O'Brien was talking a great game about

1334
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 2: Oh man, I got all these good things that we

1335
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 2: were gonna use with the shan, So.

1336
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: We were all excited about that. Really wasn't come to fruition.

1337
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 2: Then week four we went to Indianapolis, and of all

1338
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 2: the places to go to Indianapolis, a place where we

1339
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 2: hadn't had success overall, but we had won two of

1340
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 2: the last three. We'd won to fifteen sixteen. Lost in seventeen,

1341
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 2: but in that game, seventeen was weird. It was at

1342
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 2: the end of the year. Nobody really played. Everybody was

1343
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 2: banged up, hop sat Anyways, twenty eighteen comes. All we

1344
01:01:57,040 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 2: gotta do is just beat Indy with Andrew Luck back,

1345
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 2: and we'll go to one and three and get this

1346
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 2: thing kickstarted.

1347
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: And we did. We won an overtime.

1348
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 2: Kymie Fairburn hit that field goal came back for Dallas,

1349
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 2: had to ramp it up for Dallas in.

1350
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: A big way, beat them in overtime hop spins. That

1351
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: was awesome. Then now I got a little momentum. Two

1352
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: and three.

1353
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 2: The Bills come to town right after that, and in

1354
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 2: a hard fought game, JJO picked six of Nathan Peterman.

1355
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: Take it to the house. Beat the Bills.

1356
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 2: Now are three and three, and you're like, all right, cruising.

1357
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 2: Now we got a little momentum, and at three and three.

1358
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 1: We felt better.

1359
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 2: Now this team, it's gonna be a little tougher to

1360
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 2: get to three and three because you've got Tennessee. We'll

1361
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 2: see then Baltimore. You never beat him at Baltimore. And

1362
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 2: then you got Seattle. You never beat him at Seattle.

1363
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 2: So you're gonna have to to get to three and three.

1364
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to do things this organization has never done.

1365
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 2: Getting to the playoffs after alling three has already been done.

1366
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 2: But you can do it again in twenty twenty five.

1367
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 2: In fact, you need to do it all right. There

1368
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 2: are a lot of games this weekend, even over in Ireland.

1369
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 2: I will pick them all straight up and against the spread.

1370
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 2: Next right here in Texas, Oh Yeah, I'm a favorite

1371
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 2: time of the week. First of all, Friday is always good.

1372
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 2: Being with me is always good. I'm your host, Sean

1373
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 2: Harris football and a sideline reporter, but doing predictions straight

1374
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 2: up and against the spread. Frinfel gamesh It's what I

1375
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 2: live for. For fun, for fun, for fun, we picked

1376
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 2: these games. It's also a good way to just talk

1377
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 2: about the league, talk about what's going on, and so

1378
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 2: we do it where we can kind of add in

1379
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 2: a little excitement. You can play along at home. It's

1380
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 2: one of those kind of things which is always kind

1381
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 2: of fun. So you're ready, let's do it. The first

1382
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 2: game Sunday is in Dublin, Ireland. Aaron Rodgers already pissed

1383
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 2: off because they didn't go earlier to Ireland. Minnesota is

1384
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 2: a two and a half point favorite. Carson Wentz was

1385
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 2: all kinds of awesome last week. I just have a

1386
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:58,919
Speaker 2: hard time going against the Vikings here. But the only

1387
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 2: way I would do it is the Steelers. I mean,

1388
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 2: that's it's Irish royalty. I mean, gotta go with the

1389
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 2: Steelers here in Ireland. Steelers gonna win this thing outright,

1390
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 2: Rogers will finally get it right.

1391
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 1: Have a great game, the Steelers will move to three

1392
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 1: and one.

1393
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 2: They will win the game, and then so doing cover

1394
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 2: the spread all right. Back in the States at noon,

1395
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 2: Chargers taking on the Giants in New York. Negative bodyclock

1396
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 2: game for the Chargers. They've played well. I don't know

1397
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 2: that everybody, I mean everybody's making them out to be

1398
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 2: the next next nineteen eighty five Bears.

1399
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if I go that far.

1400
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 2: I think the Giants, with Jackson Darts starting for the

1401
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 2: first time as a rookie, I think they give the

1402
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 2: Chargers all they can handle.

1403
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: I do think the Chargers win this one late.

1404
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 2: Cameron Dicker, the kicker, kicks one again late to give

1405
01:04:50,760 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 2: the Charges a three point win spread of six and

1406
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 2: a half.

1407
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 1: The Chargers win, Giants get the cover. At home. Commanders

1408
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: taking on the Falcons in Atlanta.

1409
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 2: Atlanta was dreadful, dreadful last week dreadful, but Jane Daniels

1410
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 2: still banged up for the Commanders. Atlanta playing at home

1411
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 2: is a one and a half point favorite. I think

1412
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 2: the Falcons will get back on track. They will play

1413
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 2: with some juice they will get after the quarterback. I

1414
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 2: think the Falcons will win this thing. The total is

1415
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 2: forty three and a half. I think it's low. I

1416
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 2: think that's a that's a pretty high total. I think

1417
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 2: the game will go low. I think Atlanta wins. Atlanta

1418
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 2: covers the one and a half, they get back on track,

1419
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 2: they get to two and two.

1420
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 1: Saints Bill Saints Bills, Saints Bills.

1421
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 2: Really noon kick up in Orchard Park, Saints owing three,

1422
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 2: Bills three and zero. The only thing here is to

1423
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 2: spread fifteen and a half of the Bills. That's rich man,

1424
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 2: But I think the Bills get there. I think the

1425
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 2: Bills are gonna put a number on them. Even though

1426
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 2: Justin Reid knows how to beat the Bills, he doesn't

1427
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 2: have enough healthy bodies and good players with him on

1428
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 2: defense to do it. Bills win this thing like forty

1429
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 2: one seventeen, They cover and win at home.

1430
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Then Oh, Eagles, Bucks, Oh you gotta love it.

1431
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 2: The Eagles are favored by three and a half down

1432
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,919
Speaker 2: in Tampa Bay. Now some news with Tampa Bay Chris

1433
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 2: Godwin and Tristan Wurfs, it appears will play for the Bucks.

1434
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 2: That's huge because Mike Evans is out with a hamstring.

1435
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 2: I think it's a hamstring. He's out for a little bit.

1436
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield's questionable. But if there's somebody that's gonna play

1437
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 2: in this game battle of former Ou quarterbacks Jalen Hurts,

1438
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, it's Baker Mayfield. I think this is where

1439
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 2: the Eagles beat the Bucks.

1440
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 1: I don't know about that.

1441
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 2: Three and a half, though, I feel like this is

1442
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 2: gonna be close. Let's go Eagles win this thing. But

1443
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 2: the Bucks get inside that three and a half. That

1444
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 2: hook gives me the confidence to take the Buccaneers corver

1445
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 2: Thatt three. I do think Baker's gonna play, so I

1446
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 2: think they'll They'll get inside the three and a half.

1447
01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 2: The Eagles will win another close game. Browns, Oh what

1448
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 2: a win? And did I get an earfowl last night

1449
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 2: from Pops, big Packers fan just north of Green Bay

1450
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 2: watching the game. Oh, he gave me earful about how

1451
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 2: the Packers screwed that one up in Cleveland. But the

1452
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 2: Brown's gotta win now they got to face the Lions.

1453
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 1: And even though.

1454
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 2: It's a short week, even though the Browns were magnificent

1455
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 2: last week, I just don't see them going into ford

1456
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 2: Field and beating Detroit.

1457
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 3: Now.

1458
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: Can the Browns get a cover?

1459
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 2: No, this is gonna be twenty eight to fourteen, thirty

1460
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 2: one seventeen, A couple touchdown win for the Lions.

1461
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: They gotta win and a cover at home.

1462
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 2: Panthers taking on the Patriots in New England in Foxboro.

1463
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 2: Panthers a big win last week, big big win last week.

1464
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 2: Patriots scuffle a little bit in a loss. I think

1465
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 2: the Patriots get back on track here with a win.

1466
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 2: I think they win and cover the five and a half.

1467
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:03,959
Speaker 2: Patriots win playing for their defensive coordinator Terrell Williams, who

1468
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,440
Speaker 2: was diagnosed with prostate cancer. So I think the defense

1469
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 2: and the Patriots offense will do enough to get the

1470
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 2: win and get that cover of five and a half

1471
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 2: at home.

1472
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 1: All right, it's go the afternoon games, Jags Niners.

1473
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 2: Brock is back, Baby Brock Purdy is going to be

1474
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:24,679
Speaker 2: in the cat Birds seat. He is ready to roll.

1475
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 2: Jack gotta go out West. San Francisco's faired by three

1476
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 2: and a half. Look, we saw the Jags defense last week.

1477
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 1: It's legit.

1478
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 2: But I think the ninersre gonna win this thing. It'll

1479
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 2: win by ten. It'll be like a twenty four to

1480
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 2: fourteen kind of game. Trevor's gonna give one away. That'll

1481
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:42,679
Speaker 2: be the difference. Give the Niners a win and a cover.

1482
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 2: Another AFC South out to the West Coast game in

1483
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 2: the afternoon, Colts taking on the Rams. Rams are faired

1484
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 2: by three and a half. I think this is where

1485
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,599
Speaker 2: the Colts get their comeuppets. The Rams last week had

1486
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:58,720
Speaker 2: a win in hand against Eagles and field goals were

1487
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:02,200
Speaker 2: blocked not once, but twice. I don't think that'll happen

1488
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 2: this week. I think the Rams get the win. They'll

1489
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 2: win it by a touchdown, it'll be comfortable, and then

1490
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 2: the Colts are gonna well, They'll get close twenty eight

1491
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 2: to twenty one. Rams win knock the Colts from the

1492
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 2: ranks of the undefeated. Then later in the afternoon Ravens Chiefs.

1493
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 2: The Ravens are without a lot of bodies in this game.

1494
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are playing at home, yet Baltimore is favored

1495
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 2: by two and a half. I want the Ravens to win.

1496
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 2: I believe in my heart the Ravens will win, and

1497
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:35,759
Speaker 2: I think they'll cover that two and a half.

1498
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 1: So let's go with the.

1499
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 2: Ravens to get that win, get fat and happy, and

1500
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 2: then get ready for Week five with a matchup hopefully

1501
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 2: with the one in three Houston Texans Bears Raiders Bears

1502
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 2: at home, excuse me, Bears on the road in Las

1503
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 2: Vegas taking on the Raiders. It's a pretty good statement

1504
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 2: game for each one. I think the winner of this

1505
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,679
Speaker 2: game gets on a little mini run. I think that's

1506
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 2: gonna be the Bears. Kind of can't believe what I'm

1507
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 2: saying that, but I think the Bears are gonna go

1508
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 2: in get found a little something last week. I think

1509
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 2: the Bears go in and beat the Raiders. The Raiders

1510
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:09,719
Speaker 2: are one and a half point favorite, so the Bears

1511
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 2: cover the spread in so doing, going Bears to win

1512
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:16,719
Speaker 2: on the road in Las Vegas. Then, oh boy, Micah

1513
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 2: Parsons returns home. Jerry's been yapping. I think this is

1514
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 2: bad news for the Cowboys. I think the Packers bounce

1515
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 2: back after the loss to Cleveland and they go get

1516
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 2: one against the Cowboys. Green Bay's favored by six and

1517
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 2: a half. I think they win this by seventeen thirty

1518
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 2: four seventeen Packers jump all over the Cowboys. Let's go

1519
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 2: thirty four to twenty four. Oh at ten, that's enough

1520
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 2: to cover the six and a half. Monday Night Jets

1521
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 2: Dolphins both oh and three. Miami's favored by two and

1522
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:49,160
Speaker 2: a half. I yet Dolphins because they're at home. Broncos

1523
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 2: get a visit from the Bengals. Broncos are fair by

1524
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:54,920
Speaker 2: seven and a half. I think it's a little rich.

1525
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 2: Broncos get the win, Bengals get the cover. And that

1526
01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 2: is Week four in the NFL. All right, we get

1527
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 2: back to feel Good Friday. That means Tomko Ryans it's

1528

Speaker 2: finish the week on this show from six to eight

1537
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 2: feeling as good as possible. And there's one man that

1538

Speaker 2: can make us feel good, and that is Demico Ryan

1539
01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 2: So started doing this over the last couple of years.

1540
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 2: Coach came in Saturday with Mark and I talked about

1541
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 2: the game against Jacksonville. We talked about how do you

1542
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:55,640
Speaker 2: reset and get ready for the Titans on Sunday. We

1543
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 2: did all that right here and hopefully when this is

1544
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:01,240
Speaker 2: all said and done, you'll feel a lot better about

1545
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:01,599
Speaker 2: what we.

1546
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,800
Speaker 1: Got going for Sunday afternoon in the Hundai Texans Radio

1547
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:07,200
Speaker 1: studio with US head coach to Meeko Riant's coach. Great

1548
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 1: to see it, Great to see you guys. All right,

1549
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 1: So what always fascinates me is that win or lose,

1550
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:13,720
Speaker 1: you guys come in here on a Monday and it's

1551
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 1: pedal to the metal. Got to get ready for the

1552
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: next one, no matter what, because here it comes and

1553
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 1: you're better be ready. So can you take us through

1554
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 1: that process coming off the loss to Jacksonville, how you

1555
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 1: shift to get ready for Tennessee?

1556
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, we our Mondays are the same. It's about you know,

1557
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:29,280
Speaker 4: you go in and you analyze the film.

1558
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:31,439
Speaker 3: Right, you go in. I met with coaches.

1559
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 4: I meet with each each side of the ball, offense, defense,

1560
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:37,640
Speaker 4: special teams. We go through, we dissect the film, you know,

1561
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 4: going through things that happen. How can we get better?

1562
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 4: Where can we improve? We go through all of that

1563
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 4: and then we'll meet with our players later. The players

1564
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 4: come in early, they'll go through a lyft just to

1565
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 4: get their bodies primed and ready to go for the week,

1566
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 4: and then we'll put this game to bed. Right after

1567
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,640
Speaker 4: our team meeting today, our players will go with their

1568
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 4: position coaches and they'll go through each play of the game,

1569
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,280
Speaker 4: and their coach will hit it on all the positives

1570
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 4: and negatives and things we can all do better.

1571
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:05,719
Speaker 3: Things they did well, coach.

1572
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 2: I think one of the great things about just coaches

1573
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,760
Speaker 2: in general is there's so much but a lot of

1574
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:11,600
Speaker 2: times coaches.

1575
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 1: Are well, what are your ex's knows? How go to

1576
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 1: your Texas knows?

1577
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 3: How you go?

1578
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 1: Are you at this?

1579
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 2: I think coaches at some time, most point need to

1580
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 2: be assessed on how do they handle players, How do

1581
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 2: they handle disappointment? How do they handle adversity when you

1582
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 2: have a player? And Arianta talked about this after the game.

1583
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 2: He said, Hey, I struggled, I had a rough day,

1584
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:32,719
Speaker 2: paraphrasing when you have a rookie like that as a coach,

1585
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,519
Speaker 2: was kind of your responsibility in making sure that, hey,

1586
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 2: we love you, we care about you.

1587
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 1: It happened. We got to move on. We gotta learn

1588
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 1: from We got to move on.

1589
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 2: How do you make sure he doesn't lose his confidence

1590
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 2: with what he's already shown being here already this year.

1591
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:48,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's really huge for not only Tay, but for

1592
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 4: all of our guys. Like it can be a point

1593
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:54,519
Speaker 4: where you know, you haven't won a game and guys

1594
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 4: started to lose. You know, he kind of lose that faith,

1595
01:13:57,080 --> 01:14:00,679
Speaker 4: to lose that confidence, and not only yourself as a player,

1596
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 4: but your teammate. You start to look around like, hey,

1597
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 4: are we really that good? But from my standpoint, and

1598
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 4: it's kind of what I show the guys Saturday night.

1599
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:12,920
Speaker 4: I show them all the positive plays that happen in

1600
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 4: our game versus Tampa Bay, and I'll continue to show

1601
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:17,760
Speaker 4: our guys the positives.

1602
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 3: And I also show the guys.

1603
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 4: Hey, these are the handful of plays right here, like

1604
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 4: we didn't execute the right way, we didn't do things

1605
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 4: how we said we were going to do it, and

1606
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 4: what was the result of the game. So it's always

1607
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 4: leaning into the positive. When you lose, everybody's feeling feeling down,

1608
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 4: you're feeling bad. But just because you lost doesn't mean

1609
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 4: every play was a negative. There were a lot of

1610
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 4: great things that happened in the game. How can we

1611
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 4: continue to get more of those great things that happen

1612
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 4: for us? Right, so we can be on the winning side.

1613
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 4: But I know players can be disappointed and performance coaches,

1614
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 4: and man, it hurts as a coach to be in

1615
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:01,160
Speaker 4: a position you feel like, man, man I let them down.

1616
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 4: Like you start to analyze and think about it, like

1617
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:06,120
Speaker 4: what can we do better? What can we do different

1618
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:07,920
Speaker 4: to help the players be in a better spot?

1619
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that plays into you once told us on

1620
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 1: Fridays you like practicing in the stadium if possible, to

1621
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 1: see the guys or have the guys see themselves scoring

1622
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns in their home gym. Right, that plays into that

1623
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 1: for sure.

1624
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 3: That's what we'll do this Friday.

1625
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 4: We get a home game, happy to be back home,

1626
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:26,080
Speaker 4: and we'll be practicing inside our same just our guys

1627
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:28,920
Speaker 4: get a feel for hey, this is where we're going

1628
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 4: to be on Sunday, and get used to ending up

1629
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 4: in our end zone scoring points.

1630
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:35,600
Speaker 1: All right, I'll ask you this so offensively, I know

1631
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:37,080
Speaker 1: you want to be better on third down. You're a

1632
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 1: little bit better against the Jacks, but not good enough

1633
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:42,439
Speaker 1: for you to get the victory. So if I ask you,

1634
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:44,519
Speaker 1: is it mental? Is it physical? Is the answer?

1635
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 3: Yes?

1636
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 1: Is it all of the above? What are you looking

1637
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 1: for there? Offensively to be more consistent in the execution?

1638
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1639
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 4: For third downs right now, I mean we're not great

1640
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:56,680
Speaker 4: by any means on third down. We're last in the

1641
01:15:56,760 --> 01:16:00,559
Speaker 4: NFL unfortunately on third now. But it's it's a lot

1642
01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:05,280
Speaker 4: of different things starting off with you know, what's the

1643
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 4: distance to.

1644
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 3: Go on third down? Right?

1645
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 4: And we've had probably the most third and long situations

1646
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 4: probably in the NFL because of what are you doing

1647
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 4: on first and second down?

1648
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:15,280
Speaker 3: Right right?

1649
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 4: And we have to handle first down better. We've had

1650
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:20,639
Speaker 4: a lot of first down coming out to start drives

1651
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 4: where we've had penalties where we've moved backwards and then

1652
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:25,400
Speaker 4: we're in second long, third and long, So that just

1653
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 4: makes it difficult. So to be better on third down,

1654
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 4: I always say you got to win first down, or

1655
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 4: you have to get positive yards on first down. Now

1656
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 4: you're in a second and manageable hopefully you can get

1657
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 4: a few more yards, and now you want to be

1658
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:40,880
Speaker 4: operating where you're at third and two to five or

1659
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 4: third and two to six. Those are manageable third downs

1660
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 4: where you can be on the winning side more.

1661
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:49,679
Speaker 3: So, starting on first and second down, do that better.

1662
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 4: Then when we do get the third down, It's like

1663
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 4: if we are in third and long situations and we're

1664
01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 4: trying to hold the ball and we're getting a lot

1665
01:16:57,080 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 4: of pressure, it's going to be difficult in any no

1666
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:03,720
Speaker 4: matter who you're playing for whatever, third down defenses are

1667
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:07,880
Speaker 4: gonna apply pressure. Right especially when you got third and

1668
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 4: ten plus, a lot of pressure is gonna come. So

1669
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:11,680
Speaker 4: now we have to pick it up. We got to

1670
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 4: try to hold make sure the route gets there. So

1671
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 4: we just gotta do ourselves a better service on first

1672
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 4: and second down and get in shorter third downs and

1673
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,599
Speaker 4: then whenever that third down is we got to execute.

1674
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:24,799
Speaker 4: You see, we were able to get into some tempo

1675
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:28,080
Speaker 4: and some third downs in the game versus the Jags.

1676
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 4: Third and two, third and three, we got in tempo,

1677
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 4: we were able to hit some quick passes and that

1678
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 4: was that allowed us to keep the change moving. So

1679
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,639
Speaker 4: we have to just continue to do more of that.

1680
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:42,439
Speaker 2: Coach, it was ten to three fourth quarter, we will

1681
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 2: I think she had thrown the interception. So now they're

1682
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:48,480
Speaker 2: coming back the other direction and Jalen has the interception.

1683
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:52,519
Speaker 2: That's a tremendous interception, And as I'm watching that play,

1684
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:55,559
Speaker 2: I'm I always try and figure out, Okay, you man

1685
01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 2: or you zone, you reach it? And I watched that play, No,

1686
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:00,720
Speaker 2: I think it's man, I think it's zone. You're doing this?

1687
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:04,680
Speaker 2: How important is the disguising of all of that? And

1688
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 2: how important was the disguising in that play that Jalen

1689
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:08,720
Speaker 2: was able to end up?

1690
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 1: It looked like Trevor had no idea that he was

1691
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:11,760
Speaker 1: supposed to be where he was.

1692
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:14,479
Speaker 2: What did you do on that particular play to make

1693
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:17,600
Speaker 2: sure that the disguise paid off to get that interception.

1694
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:20,840
Speaker 4: At FRAZ For Trevor, we wanted to make sure the

1695
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 4: disguise was the most important thing this week. We wanted

1696
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 4: to make him figure it out posting at what we

1697
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 4: were doing, so, I thought defensively, for the most part,

1698
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:31,040
Speaker 4: we did a really good job of disguising things moving

1699
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:33,160
Speaker 4: in and out of a lot of different calls, and

1700
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 4: our guys handled that well. That third down there, I

1701
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:38,599
Speaker 4: think that third down we actually had a pressure called

1702
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:40,560
Speaker 4: and we saw a formation and we were able to

1703
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 4: check out of it and get to a zone look

1704
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:46,519
Speaker 4: and Jalen did a great job of being That's where

1705
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 4: he's supposed to be in the zone. Azaz did a

1706
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:51,679
Speaker 4: great job of communicating, getting everybody on the same page

1707
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:53,639
Speaker 4: because it was kind of laid in the down where

1708
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:56,520
Speaker 4: we got our check and man, it was an outstanding

1709
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:59,680
Speaker 4: play by Jalen, a play that we definitely needed at

1710
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 4: the time. You talk about a momentum shifter. He gets

1711
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 4: that pick and then we come back the next play

1712
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 4: and we hit Nico In on double move for a touchdown.

1713
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:10,479
Speaker 1: Another thing that went well. Jacks came into the game

1714
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 1: number one running the football in the NFL, and you

1715
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:16,120
Speaker 1: were able to keep them in check in that department.

1716
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:17,440
Speaker 1: What went into that, Coach.

1717
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:20,400
Speaker 4: Well, win in us playing the run game well and

1718
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 4: credit to our defensive tackles. They did a really outstanding job.

1719
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 4: Sheldon Tommy. Tommy stepped in and he played. He made

1720
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:32,599
Speaker 4: some nice play as far as just playing really stout

1721
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:35,880
Speaker 4: in the run game. Tim Selo Foley, those guys did

1722
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 4: a really nice job inside and it's credited.

1723
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:41,639
Speaker 3: Dylan Horton came in. He had some really nice plays

1724
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 3: on the EDGs.

1725
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:45,840
Speaker 4: As collectively as a unit, felt like we were able

1726
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 4: to be more aggressive. We attacked downhill and our d

1727
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:51,840
Speaker 4: line played stouter, which was much better than we did

1728
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 4: versus Tampa Bay. So when our d line plays the

1729
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:56,720
Speaker 4: way that they played versus Jacksonville, that gives us a

1730
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:58,679
Speaker 4: chance to have our good run defense.

1731
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 1: It's gotta be tough with those guys, the tackles in particular,

1732
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,639
Speaker 1: because you have a lot of guys who can make plays.

1733
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: Tommy was inactive Week one, but I know you have

1734
01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 1: other guys that can make plays in front of him,

1735
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:09,439
Speaker 1: So it's got to be a difficult thing to decide

1736
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 1: who to play and how often.

1737
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:12,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. It's a good problem to have.

1738
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:14,519
Speaker 4: Is I always say, you got a lot of guys

1739
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 4: who you can count on and be out there. But

1740
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 4: one thing I know Tommy is just he's deserving of

1741
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:20,760
Speaker 4: being out there, just watching the way he works, the

1742
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 4: way he shows up every single day, consistent guy, and

1743
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,280
Speaker 4: it showed up in the game like he's one of

1744
01:20:26,320 --> 01:20:29,000
Speaker 4: our most dependable guys. It showed up whether he was

1745
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 4: getting double team, whether it was scrinting, didn't matter, like

1746
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 4: he was going to be exact where he needed to be,

1747
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 4: and he was very effective for.

1748
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 2: Us as one of the best tackling linebackers we ever saw.

1749
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 2: I know it hurt your heart last week when we

1750
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:43,640
Speaker 2: and I asked you what was the one thing that

1751
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 2: bothered you, and you said tackling.

1752
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:47,439
Speaker 1: How did you think the tackling was yesterday?

1753
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:47,840
Speaker 3: Better?

1754
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 4: A little better, still still got room to grow, right,

1755
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:55,559
Speaker 4: but I thought it was definitely it was a little better.

1756
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but still a.

1757
01:20:57,240 --> 01:20:59,400
Speaker 4: Couple of plays that, you know, again, we let the

1758
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:02,559
Speaker 4: quarterback get out, we missed a tackle, we didn't collapse

1759
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 4: the pocket there on the third and third and six

1760
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 4: late in the game, we give a check down to

1761
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:12,120
Speaker 4: Hunter that we let go for twenty yard likes. Still

1762
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:14,760
Speaker 4: things we gotta clean up. Our guys are trying to

1763
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 4: play physical, but sometimes we just got to understand that

1764
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 4: we just need to wrap guys up and not try

1765
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,639
Speaker 4: to go for the big blow up shot.

1766
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:22,880
Speaker 3: All the time.

1767
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 1: Offensively running the football, coach, It's not for lack of effort.

1768
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Nick Schubb had some bruising runs Woodie Marks

1769
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:33,880
Speaker 1: as well, So you see some signs there. What's gonna

1770
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:36,080
Speaker 1: take to be more consistent running the football for your

1771
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 1: squad and for us.

1772
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 4: To be more consistent. We just got to pop a

1773
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 4: few of those runs. A couple of those runs we

1774
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:43,600
Speaker 4: got everybody blocked and the corner is stepping up and

1775
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:45,760
Speaker 4: making a tackle, like, our backs gotta be able to

1776
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 4: make a corner miss, and we got to be able

1777
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 4: to make sure we're running our feet on contact like

1778
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:53,679
Speaker 4: we're there at the initial point of contact.

1779
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 3: We're there, We're getting a hit.

1780
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 4: We gotta run our feet more, finish a little bit better,

1781
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:00,720
Speaker 4: and hopefully it get a game more pess for our

1782
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:02,959
Speaker 4: backs to hit it and make some big plays.

1783
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:03,519
Speaker 1: Coach.

1784
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:05,760
Speaker 2: Last week, I think CJ was asked about kind of

1785
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 2: his process, you know, throughout the week, and one of

1786
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 2: the things he mentioned was watching the film with with you.

1787
01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 2: When you sit down and you're you know, sitting with CJ,

1788
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:16,759
Speaker 2: are you talking to him, Hey, this is what defenses

1789
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:17,720
Speaker 2: are trying to do to you?

1790
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:19,559
Speaker 1: Are you trying to just point out things he could

1791
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 1: do better?

1792
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 2: Is it kind of everything that you could possibly see

1793
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 2: when you sit out and watch games.

1794
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:25,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, me, meeting with CJ going through the film is

1795
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 4: a little bit of both, right, It's me first and

1796
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 4: foremost to understanding like what are you thinking on this play?

1797
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 2: Hey?

1798
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 3: What did you see? What are you thinking? What do

1799
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:35,600
Speaker 3: you And then.

1800
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 4: Once I kind of game yeah, right, an idea of

1801
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 4: what he's thinking, why he's thinking that, and try to

1802
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:44,599
Speaker 4: explain to him what defenses are doing like or what

1803
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 4: this particular player is doing, how can you attack them better?

1804
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 4: So it's a matter just all encompassing, like how can

1805
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 4: I understand him, how can I help him defense with?

1806
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 4: How can I help him offensively? Well conceptually things that

1807
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 4: we can do. How can we deploy routes better to

1808
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 4: give us better options? So it's we just talking ball

1809
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 4: and for however long it needs to go, we just

1810
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:08,840
Speaker 4: sit in.

1811
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:11,719
Speaker 3: We just talk ball. And it's been really good.

1812
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:14,400
Speaker 1: He seems to like the up tempo stuff. I mean,

1813
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:16,240
Speaker 1: we all like it when it's working. Anything that works,

1814
01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:18,679
Speaker 1: we like the coach. But how much of what CJ

1815
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:23,440
Speaker 1: likes is taking into consideration when formulating a game plan offensively?

1816
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:24,400
Speaker 1: What can you tell us about it?

1817
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 4: And when you when you any quarterback that plays, they

1818
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 4: always going to have their favorites you go through the

1819
01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 4: game plan throughout the week, they're gonna have their favorite

1820
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:34,720
Speaker 4: plays that they like, so you know, and when you're

1821
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:36,559
Speaker 4: calling it, you just want to make sure you're starting

1822
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:39,519
Speaker 4: those plays and you kind of get those plays call

1823
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 4: as early as possible. When those when those guys want

1824
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:45,559
Speaker 4: it because as us all, when it's something you like,

1825
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 4: you're gonna probably perform it a little bit better. But

1826
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:50,880
Speaker 4: as we see with the tempo and certain plays like

1827
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:54,519
Speaker 4: CJ really does a good job the two minute the tempo,

1828
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 4: that's where he operates really fast, decisive, making really really nice.

1829
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:02,479
Speaker 4: So we have to kind of lean into that more

1830
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,840
Speaker 4: to put him in positions where he's playing quick, playing decisive.

1831
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 1: We always talk about flushing.

1832
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 2: It's Monday, so we can eventually flush this one and

1833
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:14,639
Speaker 2: move on to another divisional opponent. And the Titans come

1834
01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 2: in in here, and everybody wants to point out.

1835
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:19,680
Speaker 1: Well, they're owing three and they're not very good and

1836
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff.

1837
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 2: But all we have to do is point back to

1838
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:24,400
Speaker 2: Week twelve last year and see what happened when they

1839
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 2: came in here and they played the best game of

1840
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:28,760
Speaker 2: their year and knocked this off. Coach, the Titans coming in,

1841
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 2: your early thoughts about getting ready for them.

1842
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:34,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, whatever it takes, get a win. That's that's my thoughts.

1843
01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 4: Is like not having spent much time on the Titans,

1844
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 4: not really focused on the titand its it's like, as

1845
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:47,800
Speaker 4: the Texans, like, how can we execute everything that we're

1846
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:51,240
Speaker 4: supposed to do, like, be where we're supposed to be, like,

1847
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:54,280
Speaker 4: and we execute the right way. It doesn't matter who

1848
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 4: our opponent is, right, and we know they're coming in

1849
01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 4: hunger for a win.

1850
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:00,759
Speaker 3: We're hungry for a win as well.

1851
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:03,759
Speaker 4: But just because you want it doesn't mean it's gonna

1852
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 4: happen for our guys. Like when I say whatever it

1853
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:09,519
Speaker 4: takes to win, are you doing whatever it takes to win?

1854
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:11,680
Speaker 4: Are you doing all the things that it takes to

1855
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:12,559
Speaker 4: win on Sunday?

1856
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 3: Right?

1857
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 4: And that's gonna be first and foremost. We gotta protect

1858
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:18,679
Speaker 4: the football right. Offensive, we gotta protect the football. Whoever

1859
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:21,120
Speaker 4: touches it, we gotta protect it. Can't give it the

1860
01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:24,240
Speaker 4: ball away three times and expect to win. Defensively, we

1861
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:26,360
Speaker 4: get opportunities where the ball is hit us in the

1862
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 4: hand multiple times, all right, in two games here, we

1863
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 4: gotta be able to take the football away and put

1864
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:36,760
Speaker 4: the offense in position and go score. So if we

1865
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:39,680
Speaker 4: play the right way, we've been We've been there. We

1866
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:42,680
Speaker 4: gotta play the right way. We gotta finish, though, we

1867
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:44,360
Speaker 4: gotta finish. Everybody wants to win.

1868
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:45,040
Speaker 3: Everybody.

1869
01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 4: There's a lot of outside noise about what we need

1870
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:51,160
Speaker 4: to do. What's not working? Well, Well, we've done a

1871
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,879
Speaker 4: lot of good things, it hasn't resulted in the win column.

1872
01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 4: So as players, as coaches, are you doing whatever it

1873
01:25:58,520 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 4: takes this week to win the game?

1874
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:03,840
Speaker 2: I've always I've had this question to other coaches as well.

1875
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:08,879
Speaker 2: Do you need a win to in some sense validate

1876
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 2: what you're teaching? Hey, what we're doing is right. Look,

1877
01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:15,639
Speaker 2: we want what we're doing is right. This validates it.

1878
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:18,680
Speaker 2: Do you need a win to validate the things that

1879
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:19,839
Speaker 2: you're coaching and teaching?

1880
01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:22,880
Speaker 4: I mean, for me, I do not because I know

1881
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 4: that I know the process, I know what we're teaching.

1882
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 3: I know what works. It hasn't It hasn't changed.

1883
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:32,960
Speaker 4: It's just a matter of everybody just making sure we're

1884
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:36,720
Speaker 4: doing first and form of what we're supposed to do right.

1885
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 4: If we if we start there, let's do what we're

1886
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:42,040
Speaker 4: supposed to do. Know we're coaching, and we know our

1887
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:45,600
Speaker 4: process and how we structure the week, how we practice.

1888
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:46,639
Speaker 3: I know it works.

1889
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:49,600
Speaker 4: Now when it gets the game day, are we executed

1890
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 4: and doing the things that we need to do.

1891
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:54,599
Speaker 3: That's winning football, right?

1892
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 4: And if you play winning football on that's what it's

1893
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 4: going to tell you got to play winning football.

1894
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 1: On Sunday, you point out nothing's perfect on defense, but

1895
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 1: obviously you've kept the opposing point total very low so

1896
01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: far these first three games. And on offense you want

1897
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 1: to do a whole lot better. How hard is it

1898
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:11,640
Speaker 1: and how important is it to keep everybody together so

1899
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:15,280
Speaker 1: they all stick together offense, defense, special teams, because it

1900
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:17,400
Speaker 1: is a platoon sport if you will.

1901
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:17,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.

1902
01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 4: We're all in this together, coaches, players, offense, defense, special teams.

1903
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 4: And how I keep everybody together mark is I'll show

1904
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:29,719
Speaker 4: all the plays right and defensively. It always always tell

1905
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:31,759
Speaker 4: guys in a room, Hey, if you're in this room,

1906
01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:35,520
Speaker 4: and if you think, oh, because I gave up two touchdowns,

1907
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:38,920
Speaker 4: we should be okay. It's like, no, that's not the

1908
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:43,479
Speaker 4: thought process. Like we're going for zero right every single

1909
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:46,719
Speaker 4: time we're out there, and when the team scores somewhere

1910
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 4: along the lines, we're off, whether it's an assignment or

1911
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 4: a technique communication. Like when we're off, that's when we

1912
01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 4: allow a team to score. And I just make sure

1913
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:00,719
Speaker 4: I keep the defense humble. That is not just about

1914
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:03,719
Speaker 4: oh keeping the points. Now, well, how did they even

1915
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:08,200
Speaker 4: get a touchdown versus you, guys. They're all things we control.

1916
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:11,720
Speaker 4: We're in position, like are you making the plays necessary

1917
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 4: right to not allow teams to get an the end zone?

1918
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 1: And force field goes interesting. Coach, you mentioned the noise.

1919
01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 1: When you started playing, the noise was different. We actually

1920
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:23,800
Speaker 1: had the newspapers that you had to buy, and it

1921
01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:25,600
Speaker 1: was a paper and your hands get dirty and that

1922
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 1: kind of thing, and you turn off the TV and

1923
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 1: your gun. There's no noise. The internet was around, but

1924
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 1: you have to go seek it out. Now everybody's got

1925
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:35,320
Speaker 1: a phone, and everybody's got the noise coming right to

1926
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:37,360
Speaker 1: them if you will. How hard is it to keep

1927
01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:40,439
Speaker 1: the guys away from that or to tune out what

1928
01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:41,920
Speaker 1: they see what they happen to see.

1929
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:43,840
Speaker 3: Oh, it's extremely hard. Nowadays.

1930
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:46,799
Speaker 4: If you pick up your phone, you're gonna see something

1931
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:51,519
Speaker 4: from someone. So it's hard to uh, I say, to

1932
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,879
Speaker 4: see the noise or hear the noise. But the partner

1933
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 4: you control is how do you ignore the noise? Like,

1934
01:28:57,400 --> 01:28:59,519
Speaker 4: no matter it's going to be out there. You're zero

1935
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:02,520
Speaker 4: and three, we get it. It's gonna it should be noisy,

1936
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 4: all right, because you're we're not where we want to

1937
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:06,920
Speaker 4: be we're not in the spot we expect it to

1938
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 4: be in. So yeah, I get the noise, But as

1939
01:29:10,120 --> 01:29:12,479
Speaker 4: a player, as a coach, how do you ignore it?

1940
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 4: Put your head down, trust your process, and get back

1941
01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:20,719
Speaker 4: to work and do the things necessary to win the game.

1942
01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:23,760
Speaker 1: One more question for you about special teams and a

1943
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 1: general trend in the league, and I joked on another

1944
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:29,160
Speaker 1: radio show, I said, special teams. Coordinators agents have to

1945
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 1: be very happy about the increased importance of special teams.

1946
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:34,840
Speaker 1: It's always been important, but it feels like it's more

1947
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:37,479
Speaker 1: important than ever that third phase because we're looking around

1948
01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:40,080
Speaker 1: the league. You have block kicks everywhere, and big plays

1949
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:42,400
Speaker 1: in the kick return game and negative plays and all that.

1950
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 1: What do you make of the emergence or the increasing

1951
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:46,200
Speaker 1: importance of special team.

1952
01:29:46,240 --> 01:29:47,440
Speaker 3: I mean, it's exciting.

1953
01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:51,559
Speaker 4: It's an exciting play in the game when they whenever

1954
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:55,439
Speaker 4: we're kicking the football, it's an exciting play and contange

1955
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:59,719
Speaker 4: the game at any given moment. Right you see block

1956
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:05,640
Speaker 4: kick winning winning winning games, you see missing field goals, like,

1957
01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:07,880
Speaker 4: it's a lot going on in the kicking games. I

1958
01:30:07,880 --> 01:30:10,320
Speaker 4: think starting with the kickoff the way we do it now,

1959
01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 4: it's a more exciting play that you have to pay

1960
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:16,360
Speaker 4: attention to, you have to watch anything can happen. And

1961
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:18,880
Speaker 4: also with these field goals, it's like it's not just

1962
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:20,880
Speaker 4: automatic anymore, all right.

1963
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:22,160
Speaker 3: The field goal blocking.

1964
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 4: Units are getting getting very good at how they can

1965
01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:27,640
Speaker 4: disrupt the kickers and how they can affect them. So

1966
01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:30,720
Speaker 4: they're doing a good job of blocking. Our special teams coaches.

1967
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:32,639
Speaker 3: Are doing a great job with the punt looks.

1968
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:34,840
Speaker 4: You get a lot of very looks on the punt unit,

1969
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 4: punt return got some dynamic punt returns in the league.

1970
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:39,439
Speaker 3: So it's it's exciting.

1971
01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:42,000
Speaker 4: And I know special team coaches are fired up because

1972
01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:44,240
Speaker 4: they felt like they were much.

1973
01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:48,400
Speaker 1: Aside for a long time. Now not not anymore.

1974
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:51,880
Speaker 2: And punters handling snaps getting the ball. I'm telling you

1975
01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:54,040
Speaker 2: that extra point. Tommy did a great job get that

1976
01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:56,680
Speaker 2: one down. I was a little nervous, and then time

1977
01:30:56,720 --> 01:30:58,280
Speaker 2: you hit a little chip shot that was that was

1978
01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:01,840
Speaker 2: a little nerve right, speaking up fast. The fugal that

1979
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 2: they kicked that we got called for leverage. Typically it's

1980
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:08,000
Speaker 2: on the long snapper, but we looked at that at

1981
01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:11,479
Speaker 2: the replay and nobody even got near the long snapper.

1982
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:14,639
Speaker 1: Where were they saying that we had leverage. Get fine

1983
01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:18,759
Speaker 1: coach for clarity.

1984
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:21,280
Speaker 4: The rule is our guys is you're as you're rushing

1985
01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:23,519
Speaker 4: the field goal, you want to you know, we tell

1986
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 4: our guys to get your hands up to try to

1987
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:27,360
Speaker 4: block the kick because you never know how to.

1988
01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:31,040
Speaker 3: Paul can come off the kickers. And so where we

1989
01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:34,519
Speaker 3: got call was you can't have your hand down on

1990
01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:36,160
Speaker 3: a lineman's ball.

1991
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:41,160
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, propel yourself. Human nature just got it.

1992
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:42,920
Speaker 3: You just got to get both hands up.

1993
01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:45,599
Speaker 4: And we got called there with Barnett, he had one

1994
01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:48,240
Speaker 4: hand on his back and then he tried to jump,

1995
01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 4: so they called that.

1996
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:51,840
Speaker 1: Level okay, And I was just looking for clarity, alright,

1997
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,400
Speaker 1: not can anybody find you? No fine, No fine. MG

1998
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:58,240
Speaker 1: Bank asked coach, question of the week. Coach, we mentioned

1999
01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:01,240
Speaker 1: the noise, So what can you tell us on your phone?

2000
01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:04,439

2001
01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:07,600
Speaker 1: of those things? Or very rarely? How do you handle that?

2002
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:08,000

01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:10,080
Speaker 2: the way we know how. It's as simple as that,

2052
01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:14,960
Speaker 2: play well, win games, go to the next week, play well. Sunday,

2053
01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 2: beat the Titans, get a little measure of revenge and

2054
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 2: then move on. Let's score some offensive touchdowns, let's get

2055
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:24,559
Speaker 2: after it defensively and make it tough on cam Ward,

2056
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:27,200
Speaker 2: and let's leave out of there feeling good about what

2057
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:30,559
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five can be with this roster, with this team,

2058
01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:32,040
