1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: What's up.

2
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 2: Everybody, Welcome into a Monday at istion of Texans All

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 2: Access a playoff edition. Well it was a playoff edition.

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 2: It's brought to you by a mattress firm until Saturday happened. Man,

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: what a sad show. This is always a sad show.

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: This is always a sad day. Season's over. I know

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 2: some would argue the last few years like, oh did

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: you love this day?

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: No, the season's over. It's always it's always tough because

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: you're not grind me. Football is going on. You got

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: a game every weekend.

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 2: This year in particular, it was really really tough for

13
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 2: it to be over. Yeah, everybody's fatigued and tired and

14
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: excited about twenty twenty four and what this team can

15
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: do in twenty twenty four.

16
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: But man, I loved watching his team.

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 3: I really did.

18
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: This twenty twenty three team had a lot and we

19
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 2: actually will talk to our guests tonight about all of

20
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: that and then some we'll also have my Ultimate eleven

21
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: Offensive plays of the Year revised. I had to revise

22
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: them a little bit because we had a few offensive

23
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: plays that needed to get into.

24
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: The Ultimate eleven.

25
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: So we'll have that a little bit later in the

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: show plus twelve, little Demico reloaded, and what better way

27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: to end the show than a little Demico reloaded.

28
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: So we'll have that all for you on the show.

29
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 2: But we're gonna kick it off with our pal, our

30
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: radio broadcast partner, who I've gotten to be great friends with.

31
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: He's a great friend of mine, great friend of ours,

32
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 2: great friend of Houston.

33
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: He is of Houston with the University of Houston. He's

34
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: a Houston legend.

35
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: Our friend Andre Ware Martian May and I caught up

36
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: with him, talk about this game, talk about what was

37
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 2: our favorite moment? What do we take out of this year?

38
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: A lot of fun stuff here. Take a listen, Andre

39
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: with me and Mark CJ.

40
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 4: Will throw on the first play for the Texan steps up,

41
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 4: fires deep.

42
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 5: Down the field and caught by Nico cons up to

43
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 5: twenty fifty to ten to five, rocking roll touchdown Houston

44
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 5: seventy five yards on the opening play, Hello, indeed, unreal.

45
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: Oh we're gonna remember that one.

46
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 6: Can you say what you wanted to say? Can you

47
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 6: say that or what I'm deleted? Yes, Inde maybe maybe one.

48
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: You know.

49
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 4: It gets me all fired up, though, Ben firing up

50
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 4: Detroit rock City Break. I mean that that does it

51
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 4: for me. I gotta say. And Andre Ware is joining

52
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 4: us now, Dre will have the tome of my life.

53
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 4: More eighties music coming your way. Detroit Rock City is

54
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: actually seventies. But anyway, Drake, it was rough on Saturday night.

55
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: Let's get to the playoff game. Second half. Ravens run

56
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 4: away with it almost literally. But we're also reflecting on

57
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 4: the season that was.

58
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 7: It didn't end like we wanted it to, but it

59
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 7: was one heck of a ride for the better part

60
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 7: of what.

61
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 3: Nineteen weeks or so twenty weeks, it was great.

62
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 7: I mean, you couldn't ask for more kind of Demico

63
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 7: came in, rejuvenated a fan base, rejuvenated an organization, and.

64
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 3: We talked about it a little bit on on Saturday.

65
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 7: Even going all the way back to the draft, it's

66
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 7: been exciting since that moment. And so I can't I

67
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 7: can't wait until next year and see what next year brings.

68
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: Okay, uh, since we're looking back, this one's for both

69
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: of you.

70
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: And we just played the Nico seventy five yard catch

71
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: against the Colts, which is a pretty good.

72
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 4: One's funny because as he's rolling that highlight I'm thinking,

73
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 4: what game is this?

74
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, what's your favorite? Which one is?

75
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: Which one is your favorite? I mean, I know they're

76
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: like our kids. You know, you can't like one more

77
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: than the other. But let's be honest, we like one

78
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 2: kid more than more than the others. That's very true.

79
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: Every parent out there is not in their head like that.

80
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: We don't say it, but we know it. Like, Okay,

81
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: I really like Joey, then I'm more than I like Jimmy.

82
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: Jimmy's always getting in trouble, you know, all that kind

83
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: of stuff. We have a favorite, we all have a favorite.

84
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: Dre Mark, what are your favorites for your reason?

85
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: Your reason? What's your favorite moment from this season?

86
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: Right?

87
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: You got one? You want to go first?

88
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 7: Well, and then now that analogy of kids holds true

89
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 7: for me because I only have one, so I can

90
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 7: I don't think it.

91
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 3: I only got one son, that's it. But man, one

92
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: moment I think it almost had to be. You know,

93
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: it's kind.

94
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 7: Of cliche because you're going, we just heard the highlight,

95
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 7: But to open a game like that, I think every player,

96
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 7: especially an offensive player, wants to hit on the first

97
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,119
Speaker 7: play of the game. So going back to that Nico

98
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 7: Collins seventy five yard touchdown kitch that registers for me

99
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 7: because that's how you want to open a game as

100
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 7: a quarterback, as a receiver, an offensive line. Just hey,

101
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 7: let's let's get one big one right now. We've seen

102
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 7: this on film. Let's attack it this minute, this moment

103
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 7: from this look, and then it plays out that way.

104
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: That's the one for me against the Colts.

105
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: Good Man, there were so many good ones.

106
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 4: If you went one in sixteen and the one was

107
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 4: beating the Titans in their oiler uniforms, you might say

108
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 4: because that was so satisfying, especially the way they did it.

109
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 4: But if I have to pick one, I'm gonna go

110
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: Tampa because to beat them here, to do it the

111
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: way you did it, to have Daria Gounbowale kick a

112
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 4: field goal in the game, I mean that was just

113
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 4: that moment alone within that game. And then they go ahead,

114
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 4: and you see how good they ultimately were. I mean,

115
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 4: there they are yesterday, battling for their playoff lives and

116
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 4: given Detroit everything they can handle, and then CJ puts

117
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 4: together that drive and hits Tankle on the sideline.

118
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: Then ten seconds left.

119
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: Of the game, drills it to the back of the

120
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 4: end zone, dealt with the big catch, and to have

121
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 4: rookies hook up like that, knocking off a team like that.

122
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 4: That was an eruption of joy at NRG Stadium. And

123
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 4: I think that's the one I'll probably take with me

124
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 4: for I'll take a lot.

125
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: Of them with me for a long time, but that

126
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: one maybe the most.

127
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: Okay, I asked a question, So you guys brought us

128
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: some great ones. I had been flirting with the beating,

129
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: the Oilers, Titans, whatever you want to call them, but

130
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: I come back to this. I feel like this is

131
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 2: my opinion. I feel like there's one play that changed

132
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: the entire time, I say season and the entire season.

133
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: It's my favorite because this team was always about Oh

134
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: that guy made a play.

135
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 1: Oh that guy made a play. Wait, who's that guy?

136
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: Andrew Beck's kickoff return against Jacksonville is the most improbable touchdown. Yeah,

137
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: anybody on this team scored this year, and it flipped

138
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: the game. It was seventeen to ten, the Jaguars are

139
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: getting back in it and he fumbles the kickoff. Oh

140
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: my god, they're gonna get on this. They're gonna tie

141
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: this game up and we're about zero and three. He

142
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: picks it up and starts rumbling down the sideline and running,

143
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: and he leaps over the last guy.

144
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: And the joy on the sideline is.

145
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: What stayed with me, because as I'm looking at him running,

146
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: I'm looking down the sideline, I can see everybody, and

147
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: he gets in the end zone and it was just

148
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: like you could hear it in your call, like Andrew

149
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: Becks scores a touchdown, Like it was crazy, that strange

150
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 2: and crazy of a year that that runback was. To me,

151
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: it was the pivotal play. Now you're up twenty four

152
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: to ten. Now they're over the sidelines going, oh my god,

153
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: we just let Andrew back have a touchdown. You end

154
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: up beating him thirty seven to seventeen, and now the

155
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: season's on. And I will tell you of all the

156
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: joyous locker rooms that I was in this year, that one,

157
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: that one that afternoon was as joyous as any of them.

158
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: That was incredible, that locker room. They were to get

159
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: win number one, Samiko's first win. How they had done

160
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: it at the Jags, which, by the way, we have

161
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: an eight game winning streak on the road in the division.

162
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: How about that in the division in the division on

163
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: the road, So that's mine Andrew Besky coffee turn, all right.

164
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 4: But that being said, Dray, here you are in the

165
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four offseason, all of a sudden, and it's

166
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 4: weird when the season ends in the postseason, it just

167
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,679
Speaker 4: comes to a screeching halt, you know, because you're already

168
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 4: planning next week because you have to otherwise you're caught dead, right,

169
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 4: so you have to be ready for the next game,

170
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, there is no game.

171
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 4: So here they are assistant coaches being interviewed. Dude, lots

172
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: of free agents. What are your thoughts, because this becomes

173
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 4: a completely different team, maybe not completely, but a very

174
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 4: different team next year. You can't possibly re sign everybody.

175
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 4: You're gonna have draft choices, you might have some coaches leave.

176
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 4: Here you go into twenty twenty four, what are you thinking?

177
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think certainly every year.

178
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 7: You come back, it's a little bit different obviously with

179
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 7: free agency, and you just try to hold on to

180
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 7: as much of a nucleus as you possibly can't. Who's

181
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 7: in that nucleus is the question, and then it's where

182
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 7: can we surround the nucleus and get better, and I

183
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 7: think it's going to be in the trenches, guys.

184
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 3: I think on both sides of the ball.

185
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 7: Baltimore exposed some things defensively up front where you gotta

186
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 7: have some production and maybe even some more bulk and size.

187
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 7: I think that's where they go, maybe even adding a

188
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 7: corner through the draft, and certainly safeties for depth purposes.

189
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 7: I think a lot of the rebuild, so to speak,

190
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 7: will be on the defensive side of it. Then on

191
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 7: the offensive side, can you add an offensive lineman or

192
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 7: two absolutely, Can you get better at a receiver? Absolutely?

193
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 7: Can you add depth at running back? I think there

194
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 7: as well. So it's gonna be a busy, busy offseason

195
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 7: for this group.

196
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: Drake, going back to Draft night, you and I are

197
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: sitting next to each other and we're kind of watching

198
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 2: this whole thing unfold and the Texans walk out of

199
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: there with CJ. Stroud and Will Anderson, and we were

200
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: excited about that combination in particular, but just Nick going

201
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 2: up making that move, them honing in on those.

202
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: With two particular players.

203
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: Looking back to Draft night and then going forward till today,

204
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 2: did it live up to it? I mean, in year one,

205
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: at least the hype for both CJ and for Will.

206
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: Were we justified in our excitement for what those two

207
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: guys were able to bring this year?

208
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 7: In your estimation, Oh, I think I think they provided

209
00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 7: more than what was expected. You know, nobody saw what

210
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 7: CJ Was gonna bring and and uh, you know, the

211
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 7: production that you were gonna get at the quarterback position.

212
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 7: To get this deep and still be playing in the postseason,

213
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 7: you had you have to have one, and you have

214
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 7: to have a guy that you feel pretty comfortable with.

215
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: I think he provided that. Nobody saw it coming in

216
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: his rookie year.

217
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 7: And then for Will Anderson, I think he surpassed expectations

218
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 7: as well. I think if he were a little closer

219
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 7: to one hundred percent, Uh, we'd have saw a whole

220
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 7: lot more out of Will Anderson. You know, I think

221
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 7: the ankle bothered him down the stretch. You know that

222
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 7: there were other injuries here and there, But I think

223
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 7: both guys totally surpassed what our expectations were on draft night.

224
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 7: We we expected him to be good players and fundamental

225
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 7: pieces for this organization for for years to come.

226
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: That's certainly the case.

227
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 7: And uh, and I think you know now you can

228
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 7: hang your hat.

229
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: On both sides of the ball.

230
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 7: I knew it, and to address both sides on draft

231
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 7: night and that the type of production play out.

232
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: Nobody could have saw that coming.

233
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, just incredible stuff. Drey CJ. Stroud here is his

234
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 4: first pro offseason. Last year was draft prep, workouts, whatever

235
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: the case may be, getting ready to get picked, and

236
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 4: then all the rookie stuff, rookie camps, et cetera. What

237
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 4: do you think the focus is here as he gets

238
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 4: ready for year two.

239
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 7: I think it's gonna be building his body to withstand,

240
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 7: you know, seventeen eighteen weeks of just what he's witnessed

241
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 7: this season, and you know, you get tired at some

242
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 7: point because you're well past what you played any amount

243
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 7: of games that you played on the collegiate level. So

244
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 7: I think it's that first and foremost. Can he become

245
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 7: a little bit better runner. We don't know, because that's

246
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 7: not what he's asked to do, but I would imagine

247
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 7: that you would say he could get quicker, he could

248
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 7: get faster because the accuracy in the arm that's there,

249
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 7: the timing is there.

250
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: You're always continuing to work on that.

251
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 7: And as they bring in new receivers, you want to

252
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 7: see how that, you know, translates on the field. So

253
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 7: he'll be working with some guys throughout this whole process,

254
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 7: I'm sure, but uh, you know, and and I don't know,

255
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 7: maybe even the release a little bit quick or something,

256
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 7: just stuff that you're always tinkering with as a quarterback

257
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 7: to just get your game better.

258
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 3: But I don't know that he has to improve on much.

259
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 7: It's just going to be a chemistry standpoint from do

260
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 7: you mesh with what being signed and drafted during the offseason, dre.

261
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 2: From a rookie to a second year guy or a

262
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 2: second year player.

263
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: That big jump.

264
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 2: You know, we talking about making the jump, and you know,

265
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: obviously CJ is not the only one that has to

266
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: do that. You know, Tank's going to do that, well,

267
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: Anderson's gonna do it, Henry's going to do it.

268
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: What's the biggest key? And what what? How big is that?

269
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 8: Is that?

270
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: Really an important year? That year one to year two?

271
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: Like, Okay, I don't have everything licked, I don't have

272
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: everything under control, but man, I kind of know a

273
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: lot more than I did when I came in. I

274
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 2: played that NFL speed. How important is that your one

275
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: year two jump for these guys to take.

276
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: What's it's important from the standpoint, are you Are you

277
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: a a core player? Are you a guy that they

278
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: that can be you.

279
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 7: Know that that could be relied upon every year and

280
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 7: a fund of you know, foundational piece to all of this.

281
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 7: And I think the answer with with with a lot

282
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 7: of players on this team, Tank dell uh, He'll have

283
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 7: to answer can he go to the next level?

284
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 3: A guy like John Matchi? Can he go to the

285
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 3: next level? Nico?

286
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 7: I think he proved that this season after a couple

287
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 7: of years of people doubting that the size was.

288
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 3: Always there, the speed was always there.

289
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 7: Could he stay healthy was the only question, and he

290
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 7: did that for the for the better part of the season.

291
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 7: So I think it's going to be that for a

292
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 7: lot of players. I think it's that for CJ at quarterback,

293
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 7: man I would take ten years of what he just

294
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 7: gave us and not complain one bit. And because I

295
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 7: think that is he has played that much better. Do

296
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 7: I expect him to go to the next level? Absolutely,

297
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 7: and I think he'll elevate and this team will elevate

298
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 7: as he does.

299
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 4: All Right, Ray, the Ravens are going to entertain the

300
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 4: Kansas City Chiefs. Buffalo gave it a shot, couldn't get

301
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 4: it done. Lots of injuries, bad execution. Down the stretch,

302
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 4: Chiefs looked like the Chiefs.

303
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: On the road.

304
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 3: They did great.

305
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 4: Now they have to go into the Ravens nest. It's

306
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 4: their turn. Who do you got? What are you thinking

307
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 4: about this weekend's matchup in the AFC?

308
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: I got the Ravens all day long. I got the

309
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: Ravens winning at all.

310
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 7: I haven't seen a team that complete at this point

311
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 7: in the season maybe ever. And from on both sides

312
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 7: of the ball, they owned each lot in a scrimmage,

313
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 7: which is how you win championships, especially this, You know,

314
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 7: when you're talking about this late in the season, having production,

315
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 7: They've got it on both sides. They've got depth on

316
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 7: both sides. They got arguably the best kicker in the league.

317
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 7: So once they crossed the fifty, it's the.

318
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 3: Point points are going on the board.

319
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 7: I don't know how Kansas City can go in there

320
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 7: and fade what they have.

321
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: I mean, they may be able.

322
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 7: To pick at a corner or two here and there,

323
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 7: but they do a heck of a job of just

324
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 7: covering things up. So I don't really see anybody beating

325
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 7: the Baltimore Ravens this year in this this Super Bowl.

326
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: I want to read you both with something that dan

327
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: Or Lobski apparently said on Get Up, Well, here we go.

328
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: The Detroit Lions went Owen sixteen and they've got more

329
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: NFC Championship game appearances this century than the Cowboys.

330
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 4: Yeah along those.

331
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: Lines, Drew, all right, Andre, what does it mean for

332
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: the city of Detroit? And you know that city pretty well?

333
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: What do you know about what does it mean for

334
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: the city that dero for them to get to an

335
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: NFC Championship. I mean, you were on a team that

336
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: last went to one in ninety one? What does it

337
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 2: mean that city? You know, it's not at home. They

338
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: gotta go to San Francisco and it's tough. But what

339
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: does it mean after all these years of futility to

340
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: actually get there to the NFC Championship game.

341
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I.

342
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 7: Would compare Lions fans in a way the Saints fans

343
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 7: a lot. Now they obviously don't have the Super Bowl win,

344
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 7: but the passion, oh, it's always been there. It is

345
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 7: as blue collar as it gets.

346
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: I was talking.

347
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 7: Telling Mark about when I was there covering the Mac

348
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 7: Championship game.

349
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 3: Just how beautiful the city of Detroit. Yes, I'm saying it.

350
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 3: How beautiful the city of Detroit has become. And there's

351
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 3: a lot of.

352
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 7: Pride in that area, and being a Lions fan, that

353
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 7: was just that's just been pinned up and it's been

354
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 7: being released all at one time.

355
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 3: Thirty something years later, here they go into the NFC

356
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 3: Championship game.

357
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 7: You mentioned that I was a part of that team,

358
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 7: played in that game, Doph in that game by Darryl Green,

359
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 7: a Houstonian, And it's just so it's been so long,

360
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 7: the passion has been bruined, The wants have been there

361
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 7: for years, and the fans have stood by that franchise

362
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 7: year after year, and now they can kind of exhale,

363
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 7: so to speak. It means everything to that city. It's

364
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 7: a prideful city, as I mentioned, and people just love

365
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 7: love the Lions. You can bring up Pistons, you can

366
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 7: bring up Tigers, but the Lions run Detroit and fans.

367
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 3: Will will let you know it certainly.

368
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 4: Right now, all right, So the Lions of the forty

369
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 4: nine ers Jared goff Rock purty forty nine ers, Look,

370
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 4: they could have lost to Green Bay.

371
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: They didn't they held serve.

372
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 4: I know you have them losing to the Ravens, but

373
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 4: what kind of shot do the Lions really have here?

374
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 3: I think they've got a legit shot.

375
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 7: I mean you talking about Jared Goff going back home

376
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 7: to where he's basically played his college football. It's gonna

377
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 7: have to layout out there, and he's comfortable in that environment.

378
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 7: So you just kick some years, things just align and

379
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 7: it just seems like, you know, when you doubt the

380
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 7: Lions and they can't, they seem to get it done

381
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 7: every you know, and now all of a sudden, Dan

382
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 7: Campbell's no longer you know, a punch line and a joke.

383
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 7: Everybody's looking at him as a legit Head coach Aaron Glenn,

384
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 7: you know, call and plays defensively, They're getting things done

385
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 7: on the offensive side, and Jared Goff proving people wrong

386
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 7: playing with a chip on his shoulder. It could aligned

387
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 7: and they could go there. Certainly, nobody had that game

388
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 7: being played as close as it did with the forty

389
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 7: nine ers and the Packers. I think the Lions are

390
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 7: a little bit better football team at this stage in

391
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 7: the game than the Packers, So I think everything's on

392
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 7: the table. If in terms of the Lions being able

393
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 7: to go to go out there and actually win against

394
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 7: the forty nine ers and end up in the Super

395
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 7: Bowl in Vegas.

396
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 4: All right, back to the AFC, Nick Wright tweeted something

397
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 4: that I agree with. He said, Bills fans do not

398
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 4: blame Tyler Bass. He's trolling here, but I do agree

399
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 4: with this deep down. You know, even if he made

400
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 4: the field goal, Mahomes was just going to rip your

401
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 4: heart out in even more excruciating fashion. I totally agree

402
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 4: with that. That was going to tie the game with

403
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 4: under two minutes to go. If you're the Bills, you

404
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 4: have to run out the clock and either kick a

405
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 4: field goal or score a touchdown. Either you're going overtime

406
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 4: with no time left on the clock for Mahomes in regulation,

407
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 4: or you have the lead and that's it for Mahomes.

408
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 4: You cannot allow him to have any time on the clock.

409
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 4: They failed the moment they even attempted the field goals.

410
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 7: Ray he was able to do it with thirteen seconds

411
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 7: mark to get it to overtime and then beat the fields.

412
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 7: So if you know, if you got anything over a

413
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 7: minute and a half that you're leaving Mahomes, that's an eternity,

414
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 7: And yeah, I believe you'd go right down the field,

415
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 7: put them in field goal range and get it done.

416
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 7: If not, you're thinking he's gonna get it first in overtime.

417
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 7: If they get it first in overtime, he'll take care

418
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 7: of it the first drive there.

419
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 3: So by all means, don't blame that young man.

420
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 7: But you know, I was a kicker once I understand

421
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 7: the amount of pressure that goes with that position, not

422
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 7: to that degree, but to a lesser degree. And all

423
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 7: you have is one job, and so it's easy to

424
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 7: finger him as the guy to blame. But no, it

425
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 7: was way too much time left for Mahomes and company.

426
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: So five years ago we sat in this same exactly,

427
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: well over five years ago, we sat in the same

428
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 2: room that we're in right now, and it was draft night,

429
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 2: first round. We got near the end of the first

430
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 2: round and Dre hits me and he shows me a

431
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 2: text and it's to and from Lamar Jackson. And Lamar

432
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 2: was a guy that really he didn't open up to

433
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 2: anybody in the interview process. He didn't talk to anybody

434
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 2: but you, Andre Ware, he talked to you. So you know, Lamar,

435
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: you kind of know how he ticks. How much does

436
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: this mean for him to win an AFC championship, beat

437
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: Mahomes in the process, get to the Super Bowl? Just

438
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: that alone, much less win the super Bowl. What does

439
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: this mean for him? Do you think, Dray.

440
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 7: I just hope he doesn't try to play outside of

441
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 7: what he did on Saturday because it means everything, Johnny,

442
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 7: that's all the kid plays for championships. Uh, And you

443
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 7: know he gets he's gonna be He's gonna get the MVP.

444
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 7: He's been the MVP before. The Ravens have gone on

445
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 7: runs with him before. But the question is.

446
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 3: Gonna be can he win a Can you win a

447
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: championship with his style of play?

448
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 7: And he wants to prove everybody wrong so badly, so

449
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 7: desperately wants to prove him wrong. And so you'll see

450
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 7: you'll see Lamar take on a different, different edge to him.

451
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 7: He'll run a little bit more against the Chiefs because

452
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 7: it's there. He's a lot better runner than than Josh

453
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 7: Allen in my opinion, because of the speed element and

454
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 7: quickness and the ability to make you miss.

455
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 3: Uh.

456
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 7: He's a problem that the Chiefs are gonna have to

457
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 7: try to figure out.

458
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 3: And then if you figure him out.

459
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 7: Here comes Gus, Here comes Justice. He'll you know, here

460
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 7: comes the other kid that they just picked up from.

461
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: The Galvin Cook Cook.

462
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 7: I mean you talk about here Mark Andrews may be

463
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 7: healthy enough to play, though I don't take Isaiah Likely

464
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 7: off the field whatsoever and cut down his production.

465
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 3: And then you talk about the weapons on the outside.

466
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 7: So to kind of put a bow on what you

467
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 7: ask me, it means everything to Lamar to prove all

468
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 7: that's his chip going all the way back to draft night.

469
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 7: Could he play quarterback? He should be playing wide receiver.

470
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 7: You know people, some people still feel that way even

471
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 7: after all the production, and in his mind they feel

472
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 7: that way. And so he's out to prove those people wrong,

473
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 7: win a championship and say hey, I told you so.

474
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 4: Dre On average, by and large free agent decisions as

475
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 4: they way coming to Houston, how much of it is.

476
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 4: I know it's always about money, right, but is it

477
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 4: a tiebreaker at the very least or a scale tilter

478
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 4: if you take into consideration Dimiko Ryan C J. Stroud, Houston,

479
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 4: no state income tax, all of that stuff versus I

480
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 4: might have a little bit more money in an offer

481
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 4: somewhere else.

482
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: But I think I'll play here. What about those decisions?

483
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 4: How much does it help, in other words, to have

484
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 4: Demico and CJ here and this being in Houston, Texas.

485
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 7: Well, no state tax certainly helps a bit a bunch

486
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 7: when you sit down and explain what was going out

487
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 7: out the bank account for taxes and things of that sort.

488
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 7: So that plays, that plays a role that that people

489
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 7: don't necessarily talk about.

490
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 3: But when you have a quarterback like CJ.

491
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 7: Stroud and a head coach like Tamiko Ryans, guys talk

492
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 7: and that's how you sell recruits in college or players

493
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 7: on the on the on the roster and the head coach.

494
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 7: And it's that way in the NFL when you're approaching

495
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 7: free agency and who wants to go play with where

496
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 7: That's why the Ravens are built the way they are.

497
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 7: You got a chance to go win a championship with

498
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 7: a guy like Lamar Jackson and you want to be

499
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 7: a part of that. Well, you get this deep in

500
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 7: the into the season in your first year, that's a

501
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 7: that's a no brainer. Sells pitch that you can use,

502
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 7: and you got that and you don't really even have

503
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 7: to put it on the table. It's just there and

504
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 7: everybody else is talking about it. But when you come

505
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 7: in as a free agent and you're interviewing as well

506
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 7: as they're interviewing you because you have options, but you're

507
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 7: talking to people within the franchise and how is it

508
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 7: on a daily basis? How's this place run on? Man,

509
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 7: it's super Coach gives us this, this, and this, he's

510
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 7: this way. Well, what about CJ or he prepares, he's

511
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 7: the first guy in the building. You got a chance

512
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 7: to win every single week. All those things start to

513
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 7: matter and stack up for potential free agents, and you

514
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 7: watch there are gonna be guys that are coming here

515
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 7: that you didn't think we could, that would ever put

516
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 7: on a Texans uniform for that reason a little later

517
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 7: in the career and they're trying to win a.

518
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 3: Championship at this stage.

519
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 7: That's those are the things that push it, push push

520
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 7: him across the finish line.

521
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,240

Speaker 2: Football on a sideline reporter for your Houston Texans.

549
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: And not in the greatest.

550
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: Mood, because well, this is our last day of radio

551
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 2: for All Access until the Monday after the Super Bowl,

552
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: and then we'll come back and take over six to

553
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 2: seven at that point, and hopefully at that point we'll

554
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 2: have a lot to talk about. There are gonna be

555
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 2: a lot of changes. There always are. It's just a

556
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 2: matter of which ones. Hopefully there aren't a lot, but

557
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: just bracing for a lot of changes. Well there's players, coaches, staff,

558
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 2: et cetera. But it's gonna be a tough one for

559
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: sure because this was a very, very fun team to

560
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 2: be around. But twenty twenty three was a great year

561
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 2: because Indy Kalu was added into the mix and it

562
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: made for tremendous Mondays and Tuesdays and every day we

563
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: got an opportunity to talk to Indy Kalu really absolutely

564
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: loved it. So let's talk with Indy Kalu right now.

565
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: Let's get to this.

566
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 4: First, your take on what you saw Saturday, and then

567
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 4: we'll get your thoughts on the season. Go ahead with

568
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 4: Saturday night, as the Texans fell to the Ravens.

569
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 9: Like everybody at halftime very encouraged, knowing that the Houston

570
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 9: Texans walked into that locker room, you know, saying to themselves, Hey,

571
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 9: one more half and we can really get this done,

572
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 9: when I don't think anybody gave them a chance. And

573
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 9: then the second half, I just felt like reality set

574
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 9: into play. I mean, there's a reason why with all

575
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 9: these great talented players in the NFL, Lamar Jackson is

576
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 9: about to get his second MVP, and I think he

577
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 9: showed it more so in the second half than in

578
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 9: the first. And when I'm watching it at Mark and John,

579
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 9: I'm thinking to myself, like, how do you prepare? As

580
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 9: a guy who played in the INN for twelve years,

581
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 9: I still don't know how I would prepare for Lamar

582
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 9: Jackson because there's just certain things that I don't care

583
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 9: if you put your shiftiest wide receiver at quarterback during

584
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 9: scout team week. There's just certain things that you just

585
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 9: can't prepare for. And I just feel like in that

586
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 9: second half he along with and it's not just about

587
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 9: Lamar Jackson, I mean on their defense. You know, they're

588
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 9: two linebackers. You could talk about them having the best

589
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 9: tandement linebackers in the NFL arguably, but yeah, I just

590
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 9: felt like the second half reality really set in.

591
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 3: And that's not a shot against the Texans.

592
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 9: That's just a nod to the Baltimore Ravens and how

593
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 9: great they've been playing.

594
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Mark, you know I've picked Baltimore the

595
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: last couple of years, like, Okay, if Lamar is right,

596
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: then it's amazing to watch me downfield level and seeing

597
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: all these great quarterbacks. I mean obviously seeing CJ every

598
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: single week, it's incredible. But when you see a guy

599
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 2: move with the ball in his hands so that he does,

600
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable. Like I said before the game, I thought,

601
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 2: going back there, I thought about rust versus rest. Lamar

602
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: didn't throw the ball exceptionally well. He didn't throw it

603
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: exceptionally well. But and that's why I thought, you know what,

604
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 2: if things get tough, they're gonna run him.

605
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: And they did.

606
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 4: They when they were dropping back in the first half,

607
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 4: the past rushers getting to him, great drawing, our guys

608
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 4: are getting to them. The coverage is good downfield, whatever

609
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 4: the case may be. But in the second half, they said,

610
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 4: you know what, throw the quickies, let's run the football,

611
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 4: Let's run the rocks.

612
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 10: Right to what we do.

613
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: And that was just the physical mindset, top rushing attack

614
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: in the league. Do what you do, and they did

615
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: what they did.

616
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, India, at that point in this conversation, we'll look back,

617
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 2: we'll look forward.

618
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: Let's look forward a little bit.

619
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: Team has constructed excuse me, and I don't know what

620
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: the contracts will be and all that kind of stuff.

621
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 2: But if Dimico came to you and said, Indy defensively,

622
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 2: I know it was a tough night. But just over

623
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 2: the season what you saw, what do you think are

624
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: kind of the biggest needs for the team going forward

625
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the ball in particular?

626
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 8: You know what? What's tough about that?

627
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 9: When I was looking at the game, and you know,

628
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 9: after the game, you play armchair general manager and you say, okay,

629
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 9: what pieces can you add so you could beat the

630
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 9: Baltimore Ravens Again, It's just tough to think that there's

631
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 9: any one piece coming out of college that you say,

632
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 9: you know what, if we could draft this guy, he's

633
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 9: gonna shut down Lamar Jackson. It's like, no, like it's

634
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 9: more of the system, the scheme and continuing to add

635
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 9: pieces to the puzzle. And I say that in my

636
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 9: long winded approach, you can't have too many pass rushers.

637
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 9: You know, I'm thinking another three technique pass rusher that

638
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 9: can really get after the quarterback. But with Baltimore Ravens,

639
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 9: it's just more of an approach. I don't know if

640
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 9: y'all notice Christian Harris made what I thought was a

641
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 9: great open field tackle against Lamar Jackson for the pocket

642
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 9: broke down, and I even reminded and showed my son.

643
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 9: I was all, look, this is a great play, because

644
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 9: as I was watching it, I was expecting Lamar Jackson

645
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 9: to juke came out and just pick up another ten

646
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 9: fifteen yards. But he made an awesome play just that

647
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 9: shirt tackling Nate Maybe John that stud another stud linebacker,

648
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 9: that guy that you just put him there, and he's

649
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 9: gonna be hopefully the next Domico Ryans to Bryan Cushing.

650
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 9: Even with Peatrees step back this year, I still feel

651
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 9: pretty confident and comfortable with the defensive back, so it

652
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 9: would be a piece in the front seven.

653
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 4: All Right, I'm going to go out of order in

654
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 4: the line of questioning here, but just addressing free agents,

655
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 4: because this team has what fifteen to twenty free agents

656
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,959
Speaker 4: that they have to deal with one way or another,

657
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 4: and we can get into how they might handle those things,

658
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 4: but just in general and deep a free agent, we

659
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 4: always talk about, hey, they go wherever the most money is.

660
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 4: How true is that versus Hey, I want to play

661
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 4: in Houston with CJ. Stroud and for Damico Ryans and

662
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 4: oh you have the state income texting into play as well.

663
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 4: If it's a tie, is that the tie breaker or

664
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 4: would you take a little less maybe because the income taxes,

665
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 4: because hey, Dmiko Ryans and CJ.

666
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: Stroud and the whole environment here.

667
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 4: How does all that work in the mind of a

668
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 4: possible free agent out there?

669
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: It depends where each player is in their career.

670
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 9: You know, if you have a guy that's already accomplished

671
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 9: everything on the individual level, and you know he's made

672
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 9: all the money and he just wants a championship, like

673
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 9: Mike Evans, who I would love to see in a

674
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 9: Houston Texans uniform next year, his priority more than likely

675
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 9: will be obviously the money. I mean, you know, once

676
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 9: it's over, it's over. So once once it's over, you

677
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 9: stop getting those checks. So the money's always going to

678
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 9: be a factor. But I think a guy like Mike

679
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 9: Evans is really truly going to be chasing a ring.

680
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 9: But then if you have a guy that you know

681
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 9: proved himself and you know he's still somewhat young, he

682
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 9: wants to get that big contract, he wants to continue

683
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 9: to establish himself as one of the better players in

684
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 9: the league, they're not going to put that priority of

685
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 9: as we're an older guy who's on his last contract.

686
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 9: But regardless of all of that, now you're in a

687
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 9: position where when you look at the Houston Texans as

688
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 9: an organization, it's a positive. You know, no matter what

689
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 9: stage in your career you are, you're not thinking, oh, Texans,

690
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 9: they got a lot of drama. The head coach thinks

691
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 9: he's a general manager, and you have somebody who's running

692
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 9: the show who doesn't even have the qualification. It's like,

693
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 9: that's not even a thought. So it's only gonna bode

694
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 9: well for the text and the free agency. But you're

695
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 9: still gonna have to open up that check book.

696
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: Wait, what was that scenario you just described to be?

697
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: Never mind Moob, Yeah, I just made it.

698
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 4: It's a fictional, hypothetical thing. I got you and d

699
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 4: said the thing I always hear from retired players or

700
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 4: I they just it encapsules it so well, which is

701
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 4: the gigantic check stop coming in. That's what happens when

702
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 4: you retire. When it's over, that's over. And you're right,

703
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 4: you have to take that into consideration.

704
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: If you're a professional, answer you know, you know it Mark,

705
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: you know what's coming.

706
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 9: But it's funny. It's funny, and it's not funny if

707
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 9: you're not prepared. But you literally go from picking up

708
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 9: or having deposited a huge check every Tuesday until it

709
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 9: just then when it's over, it just stops. It's not like,

710
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 9: you know what, for the next six months, I'm gonna

711
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 9: get fifty percent of what I was making. Then after

712
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 9: that twenty percent, it's like, nope, as soon as they.

713
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 8: Walk you out of the door, that check is right there.

714
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 3: Just stop. So, yeah, it's an adjustment.

715
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: Andy, what's his day like for players?

716
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 2: And by that, I mean you know it played Saturday,

717
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 2: they had Sunday off, and now they come in for

718
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 2: locker clean out day. And one of the things that

719
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 2: I don't know why the first couple of years it

720
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: kind of didn't hit me this way. I guess because

721
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: we had guys that we knew were coming back. But

722
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 2: it's really hit me that every single year is a

723
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 2: different year. You don't bring back the same group. In fact,

724
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 2: it it changes significantly, and the last four years in

725
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 2: this building have been changes significantly. We'll see what happens coaching, staff, players,

726
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. But Andy what's his day

727
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 2: like for the players? Knowing that, knowing that especially if

728
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: it was a fun year, if it was a good year, Like, Hey,

729
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 2: a lot of these guys. I look around my d

730
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: line room, I'm like, sixty percent of these guys will

731
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 2: be here. You know, maybe twenty percent of the guys

732
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 2: will be here. Heck, maybe I might be the only

733
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 2: guy that's here. How do you guys kind of how

734
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 2: do players kind of treat this locker clean out day?

735
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 2: I'm sure their bodies are about to be refreshed and

736
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 2: so they feel good about that, but leaving teammates and having,

737
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 2: you know, the thought that you're not going to have

738
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 2: this team in the same form again, what's this day

739
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 2: like for players?

740
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 9: Man, that's an awesome You're bringing up some awesome memories

741
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 9: with that question. It's a lot of reflection and though look,

742
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 9: what do they say. There's gonna be thirty one disappointed

743
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 9: teams in the NFL at the end of the year,

744
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 9: because if you don't win the Super Bowl, then obviously

745
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 9: it ends in disappointment. But these guys understand what they accomplished.

746
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 9: I have to believe John, there's a lot of reflection

747
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 9: after the disappointment when the plane landed and shout out

748
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 9: to the fans who were out there waiting, you know,

749
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 9: to show their support after that loss. Guys have been smiling,

750
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 9: but you know what, this was a special season when

751
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 9: you think about the turnaround from the last two years

752
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 9: to what they accomplished. So I think there's gonna be

753
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 9: some smiles, but there's also gonna be some Dalton Schultz,

754
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 9: you best believe he probably won't admit it, because the

755
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 9: guy he is, You best believe he's been on the

756
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 9: phone with his agent already. You know, Nico Collins has

757
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 9: been talking to some people like, Hey, I know I'm

758
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 9: still in the contract, but should I or should I

759
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 9: not report to the mini camp coming up?

760
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 3: You know CJ. Stroud.

761
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 9: I mean, he needs to sit back and just smile

762
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 9: and appreciate what he's done, you know, those that around him,

763
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 9: what they've been able to accomplish this year. So I

764
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 9: think there's a lot of reflection. There's gonna be a lot.

765
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 3: Of hugs the in the locker room because.

766
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 9: Just like you said, these guys know, they know that

767
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 9: this team's gonna look different. They know that guys who contributed,

768
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 9: who are part of the success of this season, They're

769
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 9: not gonna be here, So there's gonna be a lot

770
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 9: of hugs, a lot of.

771
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 3: Like, man, what a heck of a run did we

772
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 3: just have?

773
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 9: But I think there's just gonna be this overwhelming feeling

774
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 9: of appreciation in that locker room today.

775
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 4: All right, give me two or three of these When

776
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 4: people ask you what did you take away from the

777
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three season?

778
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: What stands out in your mind?

779
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 4: And look, we can have this conversation for years, but

780
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 4: right now, where we sit, right now, what will you

781
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 4: take away from this season?

782
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: Most thoughts.

783
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 9: That the word culture is not just a word, like

784
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 9: with this team, with this coaching staff, is tangible. You

785
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 9: could feel it like there's truly a different feeling in

786
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 9: the locker room, on the football field and with expectations.

787
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 9: And that's just something that I truly appreciated watching on

788
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 9: this journey. Look, we had a guy like Henry totoa

789
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 9: early on we're saying, wow, what I fine? Then he's

790
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 9: still a great find, fifth round pick. He did things

791
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 9: in his first year that I only dreamed of doing

792
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 9: as a fifth round pick. But when play dropped off,

793
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 9: another guy stepped up. You know what, as much as

794
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 9: we like you as a person, you're gonna have to

795
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 9: take a back seat. But he continued to grind and

796
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 9: still showed up, like the work culture is not just

797
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 9: a word. It's like you have to fit in, you

798
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 9: have to produce. I'm still gonna respect you as a

799
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 9: football player as a man, but if how do you

800
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 9: bench Petrie? Like like that's something I don't have the

801
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 9: Webbels to do because of what he did as a rookie.

802
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 9: But he took it like a man, and you know,

803
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 9: I think he's bouncing back like there's a respect there, Mark,

804
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 9: And there is a culture shift. And it doesn't mean

805
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 9: just because I'm Demico a good person that if things

806
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 9: don't work the way they're supposed to, I'm just gonna

807
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 9: let us slide. So I really, when I look back

808
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 9: at this year, the culture, the shift, it was tangible.

809
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 9: You could like almost feel it when you when you

810
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 9: follow this team.

811
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 2: I'll say this from that standpoint in these in these

812
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 2: dead on and I'm not I'm never you know how

813
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 2: I feel.

814
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 10: Mark.

815
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 2: I love coming in this building every single day over

816
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: the last three years he was it was tough to

817
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 2: walk in and go, well, it's Texas Monday. What the

818
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 2: hell we're gonna talk about today, you know. And we

819
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: always have fun. I know, no, I know, we always

820
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: have fun.

821
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 3: I know that.

822
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 4: And we always after every show, Johnny's like, man, that

823
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 4: was a really good show.

824
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: A lot of time we've we've found away fun, we

825
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 2: found a way. But there's been so much joy added

826
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 2: in this building. Oh my gosh, so much joy added

827
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 2: in this building. Abundance of it's been incredible. And I'll

828
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 2: say this and I'll say it public. Adding Indie Clue

829
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: to our Texans Monday has made my freaking season.

830
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it has been Indy.

831
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,759

835
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 2: the hell of a job in the preseason broadcast.

836
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: Man.

837
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 2: I think that's one of the things I take out

838
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 2: of this year is how much you've meant to us

839
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 2: and how much insight you've brought just for a player,

840
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 2: insight just knowing football and all that kind of stuff.

841
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 3: Man.

842
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,560

843
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 4: when we were four and twelve you know that really

844
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,080

Speaker 2: I'm sure you enjoyed missing those four and twelve seasons,

848
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 2: Indie a whole lot more.

849
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: But what he's a front runner, that's what he is. Yea, yeah,

850
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I don't know about that.

851
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 2: But Indy, your first well your first year with us,

852
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: just your overall thoughts with that real.

853
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 9: Quick and not to get to corny emotional mark. You

854
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 9: know how I feel about you from day one, from

855
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 9: the day I retired, You've been a huge help in

856
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 9: my post career life. And John, I'm not just saying

857
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 9: this is because of the flyers you gave me. I've

858
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 9: always listened to you and I said, out of all

859
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 9: these schmucks that are on there talking about football, talk

860
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 9: bad about players, you have a certain respect for the

861
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 9: game that I've always appreciated, like from day one, Like

862
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 9: you know, I know you coached, I know you played

863
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 9: college football, I know that you've been in the trenches.

864
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 9: But just hearing you break down especially I don't want

865
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 9: to say especially because then it takes away from the

866
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 9: other things that you do, but your draft breakdown, Like

867
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 9: I in passing, I'll ask you about some random guy

868
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 9: and before you even answer, I think to myself, you

869
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 9: know what, that was stupid. First, I just see if

870
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 9: he knows this guy who's projected to go in the

871
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 9: fourth round and you're breaking them down and you give

872
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 9: me two pages of material just off the top of

873
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 9: your dome. So I really appreciate like the respect that

874
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,479
Speaker 9: you have for the sport that I love. And that's

875
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 9: been you know, it's meant so much of me in

876
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 9: my life. But I really enjoyed this look. Even when

877
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 9: I was down the dial, Mark, I kept saying, hey,

878
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 9: we can still do things. You know, this is Texan radio,

879
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 9: and you're like, you know, it might not work out.

880
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 9: So for it all to work out the way that

00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 9: it did, I just I just really appreciate y'all. And

Speaker 2: his words for me, we're just I just have the

903
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 2: ultimate respect for him. Just incredible players. One of the

904
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 2: first players I met when I came to Houston in

905
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven. Got a chance to know him

906
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 2: a little bit, and then once his career is over,

907
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 2: got a chance to know him a little bit more

908
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 2: and just absolutely love that man.

909
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: He's tremendous. So great stuff from Indie Klue all year long.

910
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 2: Okay, we get back. We're gonna go around the NFL.

911
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 2: There are plenty of things happening in the NFL. Some news,

912
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 2: give you some Texans news as well as some reserve

913
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 2: contracts we're handing out. We'll do that next right here

914
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 2: in Texans all access.

915
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody?

916
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 2: Welcome back to a Monday edition of Texans All Acts

917
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 2: Says from the Honday Texans Radio studio, our last one

918
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 2: in the year. I'm your host, John Harris, football analyst,

919
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 2: sideline reporter for your Houston Texans, and we'll go around

920
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 2: the NFL.

921
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna start here in Houston as the Texas.

922
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 2: This typically happens every year at the end of the

923
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 2: year reserve contracts, reserve slash future contracts.

924
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 1: That means a lot of times.

925
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 2: Guys that are on IR or on IR practice squad,

926
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 2: you essentially lock up with a reserve contract that they

927
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 2: stay with you. They're part of your ninety man roster

928
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 2: going forward. So the Texans did that with I believe

929
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 2: it's twelve guys. Somebody just recently added Mctilvin McTelvin Ajem

930
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 2: from out of Arkansas, devensive tackle, Alex Bachman, wide receiver

931
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:27,439
Speaker 2: Tim Boyle, quarterback Jared Doakes, running back Ali Gay who

932
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 2: is a rookie from LSU. Brandon Hill Moll unfortunately got

933
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 2: hurt early on that really kind of stunted his progress

934
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 2: and I hate that for Brandon.

935
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: I think he's got something there.

936
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 2: Brandon Hill, safety from Pitt Johnny Johnson, the third wide

937
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: receiver who's active in Week eighteen, Dalton Keene tight end,

938
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 2: Troy Pride corner.

939
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 1: JJ Taylor wide receiver, wide receiver, running back. He's fun.

940
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: By the way.

941
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna tell you, I can't wait to see

942
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 2: JJ Taylor in training camp because that that dude could

943
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 2: screwt uh. Jalen Thomas rookie tackle at SMU, and the

944
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 2: Jared Wayne wide receiver from pit. Now that's not everybody

945
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 2: that was on the practice squad, but that's twelve guys

946
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 2: that will be on the ninety man roster, all things

947
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 2: considered as we go forward. But they signed reserve slash

948
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 2: future contracts as it goes forward. Now, as it pertains

949
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 2: to the Texans and moves and all that kind of stuff,

950
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 2: league year starts minimum March, so that's when you'll probably

951
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 2: start hearing some things. There were some obvious noise about

952
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 2: some pre agents, you know, Saturday Saturday night, you know, hey,

953
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 2: you're gonna be with the team next year, all that

954
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. So you know, guys like John Garnard,

955
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 2: Devin Singletary, Dalton Schultz, et cetera, et cetera. So if

956
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 2: a player is gonna stay with a particular team they

957
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 2: can get that contract done, but at this point, my

958
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 2: guess is they'll probably wait field offers as we get

959
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 2: closer to the free agency.

960
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a little less than two months

961
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: down the road.

962
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 2: So Texans obviously have to get to work, and they

963
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 2: will get to work. This is the first step in

964
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 2: that making sure these guys stay in the building.

965
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: With those twelve names I just mentioned.

966
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars made some news they are hiring former Falcons

967
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,959
Speaker 2: defense coordinator Ryan Nielsen. Neilson did a really good job

968
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 2: with the Falcons defense. That defense gave us some issue

969
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 2: for sure when we went up there. Obviously CJ threw

970
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 2: that touchdown pass atdald Schultz, but that defense flew around.

971
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 2: So Jaguars getting a pretty solid young defensive coordinator, which

972
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 2: I don't like, which Mike Caldwell would have stayed, but

973
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 2: they fired Caldwell. They moved on the Falcons obviously moving

974
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 2: in a different direction after Arthur Smith was fired, so

975
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 2: that left Ryan Nielson available. He will take that Jacksonville

976
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,959
Speaker 2: Jaguars defensive coordinator job.

977
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 1: Dang it.

978
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 2: Now the Lions continue on in the playoffs, they will

979
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 2: go to San Francisco this Sunday. It'll be AFC Championship

980
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 2: at two, it'll be the NFC Championship at five thirty.

981
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 2: Potentially in that game could be former Eagles former Cardinals

982
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 2: tight end Zach Ertz. He is signed to the practice

983
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 2: squad and would have a chance to be elevated for

984
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 2: the NFC Championship game championship game in San Francisco. It's

985
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 2: outside the possible, the round possibility. Sam Laport has been great.

986
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 2: Uh you also had by my blanket on the name

987
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: number eighty nine. Brock Wright made a huge play in

988
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 2: that game against the Buccaneers. And congratulations of Detroit going

989
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 2: to the NFC Championship. I mean, they go thirty years

990
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 2: without a playoff win and then let's say, finally get

991
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 2: back in the playoffs.

992
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: They take it the NFC.

993
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 2: Championship, So congratulations to them. Now the NFC North we

994
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,240
Speaker 2: will see next year. We will face the Chicago Bears

995
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 2: at home. They are hiring former Seattle offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.

996
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: He did a great job.

997
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 2: I thought, was you know Smith the last couple of

998
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 2: years he had been in the Rams system with Sean

999
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 2: McVay kind of rise through the levels there then he

1000
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 2: left for Seattle. It's done a really nice job. He

1001
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 2: will take over as the Bears offensive coordinator, which I

1002
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 2: don't know what that means for justin fields, but Shane

1003
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 2: Waldron comes out of that kind of Shanahan McVey, Bobby

1004
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 2: Slowig sort of a tree, if you will.

1005
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: That would lead me to believe that they're gonna be

1006
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: looking at somebody. You could throw it a little bit more.

1007
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 1: Maybe Kayla Williams gonna Drake May.

1008
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 2: We'll find out Bear's got the first pick in the draft,

1009
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 2: so we'll see what they do with their quarterback position.

1010
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,479
Speaker 2: There's a lot of talking about kay Williams and Cliff

1011
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 2: Kingsbury going together. That won't happen. Kay the Williams and

1012
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 2: Shane Waldron, that could ultimately happen. Okay, one our down,

1013
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 2: one hour left to go. We get back. We are

1014
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 2: going to review, relive and just basking the glory of

1015
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 2: the ultimate eleven.

1016
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: Offensive plays of the year. That's next on Texans All Access.

1017
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:52,760
Speaker 1: What's Happened? Everybody?

1018
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 2: Welcome back this money edition of Texans All Access from

1019
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 2: the mondaye Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host, John Harris,

1020
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 2: football Analyst, sideline reporter, and it's time for Ultimate eleven

1021
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 2: Offensive Plays of the Year.

1022
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: Now, am I gonna forget something? Yeah? Probably?

1023
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 3: Now.

1024
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 2: I did this after the brown the loss of the Browns,

1025
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 2: and I did it couching it with the thought that, look,

1026
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 2: the season's not over, but I really don't want to

1027
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 2: go back, and we love the Browns game at this

1028
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 2: point the regular season one.

1029
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: So what do I do here?

1030
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 2: So I'm like, I'm gonna do Ultimate eleven Offensive plays

1031
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 2: this week. The offense Ultimate eleven defensive plays, which would

1032
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 2: have been the end of the season matchup had we

1033
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 2: lost to the Colts, would have been a nice symmetry and.

1034
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: Away you go. But it didn't turn out that way.

1035
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 2: We ended up having more that we could add to

1036
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 2: the mix. Soakes a little revised Ultimate eleven Offensive Plays

1037
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 2: of the Year, and I have a tie at number eleven.

1038
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 2: It's also to help me with the formatting of this

1039
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:02,439
Speaker 2: particular show, and it actually happened in the playoff win.

1040
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 2: The two touchdowns from CJ. Stroud one to Brevian Jordan.

1041
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 4: Here we go with Schultz mostening to the left, Stroud

1042
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 4: under center. Here's a little drop back in a pass

1043
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 4: to Brevin Jordan right side across the thirty five cuts

1044
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 4: outside forty fifty the forty right sideline.

1045
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 5: He's gonna go all the way, Brevin Jordan to the

1046
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 5: end zone. No flax touchdown. My goodness. The Texans go

1047
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 5: seventy six.

1048
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: Yards in one play to retake the lead on Cleveland.

1049
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 11: If you've give me a rethough, Padna, I missed you

1050
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 11: the first time on that high five, Brevin Jordan just

1051
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 11: pulled away from somebody. It looked like the same bolt

1052
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 11: down the sideline.

1053
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,919
Speaker 2: Oh, Brevin Jordan ran away from former teammate Obo Okoronquo

1054
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 2: and ran away from him. We talked about that with

1055
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 2: Brevin on the at your show. Hopefully you got a

1056
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 2: chance to hear that interview. Now Brevin is gonna share

1057
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 2: the spotlight with his tight end teammate Dalton Schultz. So

1058
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 2: eleven A Brevin goes seventy six yards eleven B against

1059
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 2: the Browns and the playoffs Dalton Schultz for thirty seven

1060
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 2: yards to give the Texans a twenty.

1061
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: Four to fourteen lead. That's what we have to kick

1062
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 1: off our ultimate eleven.

1063
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 4: Stroud out of center on second and twenty at the

1064
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:30,760
Speaker 4: Browns thirty seven one back motor.

1065
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: CJ fakes the gift, steps out to his life.

1066
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 4: He's got a lot of time, and he throws teeth

1067
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 4: and he wants Dalton Schultz has him rock and roll touchdown.

1068
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: Kostend. What a play design.

1069
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 12: If you don't roll a guy one way and then

1070
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 12: have him throw back across the field, he goes against

1071
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 12: everything you're thinking about unless he can set his feet.

1072
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: And so they they protected perfectly. Allow Sultz to come.

1073
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 12: Back on a crosser, a deep crossing route going back

1074
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 12: against the away from CJ.

1075
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,479
Speaker 1: Stroud and he puts it in the air. Sultz makes

1076
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: up for the drop.

1077
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 5: And so thirty seven yard touchdown reception and CJ. Stroud

1078
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 5: Welcome to the NFL playoffs, introducing the rookie Stroud with

1079
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 5: three tds in the first half.

1080
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: CJ was magical that day. Those two come in at

1081
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 1: number eleven.

1082
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to number ten against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1083
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 2: Sixteen to six against the Steelers, Texan's looking for a

1084
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 2: little bit of spark to get back going. You know,

1085
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 2: the terrible Towels got going in that game a little

1086
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 2: bit when it was sixteen to six.

1087
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: Thought they had a shot, but then no not CJ. Stroud.

1088
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 2: Devin Singletary, before Devin really had taken over as a

1089
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 2: number one running back, came into the game and it

1090
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 2: was time for a little razzle dazzle, as Mark Vandermuir

1091
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 2: put it as he found Dalton Schultz for a touchdown

1092
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 2: to put them up twenty three to six against the Steelers.

1093
00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: It's at number ten, second and goal at the six.

1094
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 4: Stroud under center, pitches the ball to Singletary, throws to the.

1095
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 5: Endsode Rassel dazzle cut for a touchdown Tolton Schultz.

1096
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: The Texaid score.

1097
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 2: Then they would hit the Nico touchdown, then they would

1098
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:19,439
Speaker 2: beat the Steelers. That put the Texans at two and two.

1099
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,360
Speaker 2: Now they were zero in two when they went to

1100
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 2: Duval County to take on the one to one Jacksonville

1101
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 2: Jaguars in Week three. And the talk that week against

1102
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 2: the Jaguars for the Jaguars was, Hey, you got a

1103
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 2: two week trip up coming to London. What about London?

1104
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 2: How about going over to London? Hey you got these

1105
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 2: two games in London. Everything was about London. Nothing was

1106
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 2: about the Texans. And I thought that was interesting, So, okay,

1107
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 2: maybe they're not ready for what we can do. Well,

1108
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 2: the offense had started getting rolling against the Colts, but

1109
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 2: it really got rolling against the Jacksonville Jaguars. I thought

1110
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 2: we might be in some trouble early first three and out.

1111
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,720
Speaker 2: Oh boy, not good. Holy col guys got the ball

1112
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 2: a drive a little bit, but now they got to

1113
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 2: kick a field goal.

1114
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: Brandon McManus pushes it wide.

1115
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 2: Right now, the Texans have got great field position and

1116
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 2: they were about to unleash a can of you know

1117
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:20,760
Speaker 2: what on the Jags. Right here, going deep at number nine,

1118
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 2: CJ found Tank. This put the ball down at the

1119
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 2: one yard line and signaled what the Texans offense was

1120
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 2: going to be this year. CJ to Tank at number

1121
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,080
Speaker 2: nine for forty six yards to the one.

1122
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 4: Second down and seven from the forty eight of the Jags.

1123
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,280
Speaker 1: Stroud fakes to give now.

1124
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 4: Guns long downfield and he wants tag.

1125
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,959
Speaker 5: Dell, and Dell has that catch inside the one yard line.

1126
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 5: Stop there, big play to tachtell.

1127
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:50,439
Speaker 2: Now, the Texans offense has been fairly spectacular all year long.

1128
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: There have been some moments of not so greatness.

1129
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 2: But I found one, or wanted to put one that

1130
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 2: came in a losing effort, And he came in week

1131
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 2: five at Atlanta.

1132
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: Late in the game, CJ.

1133
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 2: Stroud put together a drive just after the two minute warning.

1134
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 2: Dalton Schultz and CJ connected on a play that they

1135
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 2: talked about on the sidelines. A little nodding go by

1136
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 2: Dalton Schultz kind of looked like he was gonna run

1137
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 2: the en route of the basic and then boom boom,

1138
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 2: and he went by Jesse Bates and Stroud hit him

1139
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 2: to take the lead, and it sent the sideline into hysterics. Unfortunately,

1140
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 2: Desmond Ritter holds some magic. That's why this one's not

1141
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 2: any higher. But at number eight, the only one in

1142
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 2: a losing effort. CJ to Dalton late in the game

1143
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 2: against the Falcons.

1144
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 4: Texans in the huddle, Singletary is in the game, Netschi Woods.

1145
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 4: They'll send Nico out to the left side, strout of

1146
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 4: the gun, Singletary to his left. Third down and eight

1147
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 4: at the Falcons eighteen. CJ gets the snap, CJ looking firing.

1148
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: To the end zone. God down Dalton Schultz.

1149
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 10: They do it.

1150
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 5: Eighteen yard touchdown, passed to the tight end and the

1151
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 5: Texans could take the lead with the extra point.

1152
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,840
Speaker 1: And what a throw by c J.

1153
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 2: Stroud And that was just the beginning of the late

1154
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 2: game heroics. And we'll get into a little bit more,

1155
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 2: but number eight right there, CJ hitting Dalton for the

1156
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 2: touchdown against the Falcons. Not enough on that day, but

1157
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 2: what a magnificent moment for both CJ.

1158
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: Stroud and Dalton Schultz a right.

1159
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 2: Number seven came in a game that was not looking

1160
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 2: good early. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had come to town

1161
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,320
Speaker 2: and they had to break a losing streak and Baker

1162
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 2: Mayfield was hot and the Texans were in a lot

1163
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 2: of trouble, especially because Kaymi Fairbairn had gone out, so

1164
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 2: they had to rely on Daria Goombawally later.

1165
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:49,479
Speaker 1: In the game.

1166
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,879
Speaker 2: But before we could get there, Texans had to get

1167
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 2: within a touchdown or two of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

1168
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,760
Speaker 2: Well third quarter, ball to twenty five to start a drive,

1169
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,479
Speaker 2: CJ found Noah, got a block from Tank and Noah

1170
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 2: would take it seventy five yards to the house to

1171
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 2: cut the lead in half against the Buccaneers.

1172
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,280
Speaker 1: That comes in number seven. CJ fakes the GiB CJ

1173
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: planting and he throws.

1174
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:16,399
Speaker 4: Down field over the middle and he's got.

1175
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 5: A man brown look side fifty forty look sideline full

1176
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 5: throttle twenty fifteen.

1177
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: Ten five, fighting for the goal line.

1178
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 5: Head, He's got it, tuckdown Houston.

1179
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: Rock and roll seventy five yards.

1180
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 12: What a block by Tank Dale, I mean you gotta

1181
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:41,720
Speaker 12: have unselfish players to be successful offensively, and some guys

1182
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 12: just have to flat out do the dirty work every

1183
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,799
Speaker 12: once in a while. You all can't be stars. And

1184
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:52,240
Speaker 12: the block by tank Dal, I mean freeze up. Noah Brown.

1185
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 5: Boy, he tightrope that sideline, barely stayed in bounds and

1186
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 5: fought off a defender right inside the ten to get

1187
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:01,879
Speaker 5: to the goal line.

1188
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 4: It was Davis, and he stiff armed him and to

1189
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 4: get across.

1190
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 2: That got things rocking in the second half in the

1191
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 2: game in which CJ threw for four hundred and seventy

1192
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 2: yards and five tundies against the Buccaneers, that was one

1193
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 2: of them. That was a big one to Noah Brown.

1194
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 2: All right, it's boot to number six. Let's go back

1195
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 2: to Jacksonville. In week three. The Texans had fought their

1196
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 2: way through this one. It was seventeen ten Andrew becket

1197
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 2: to kickoff return made it twenty four to ten. They

1198
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 2: kicked a field goal to go twenty seven to ten.

1199
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 2: Jack scored his twenty seven to seventeenth though. Okay, maybe

1200
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:36,919
Speaker 2: the Jags are getting back in it well.

1201
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 3: CJ.

1202
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: Stroud and Tank Dell are about to shut the door.

1203
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:45,439
Speaker 2: Third down stadium rocking in Duval County, and CJ says,

1204
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 2: you know what, let's just go to Tank. Sixty eight

1205
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 2: yards later, the Texans put the Kapper on a huge

1206
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 2: thirty four to seventeen lead and the thirty seven to

1207
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 2: seventeen wins. Sixty eight yards. The touchdowns from Stroud to

1208
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 2: Tank comes in. It's six Stroud talking to his teammates.

1209
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 2: Thirt and three from the Houston thirty two CJ and

1210
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 2: the gun one back BURLM. CJ gets the snap. Here

1211
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 2: comes the blift, CJ firing.

1212
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 5: Daffield to us right and Tank has it at the

1213
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 5: forty the thirty. The twenty ten five touchdown, Tank down

1214
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 5: to the house. Wow, sixty eight yards the rookie scores.

1215
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 1: I think Andre said it best for all of us. Wow,

1216
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: what did we just see?

1217
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 3: What?

1218
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 2: We saw a lot of that and we're gonna get

1219
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 2: some more of that. Uh in just a little bit.

1220
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 2: Let's get to number five. Now, the passing moments of

1221
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 2: this year. You've already heard Devin Singletary had won. Most

1222
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 2: of them were CJ.

1223
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: Stroud. From a quarterback perspective, they're almost all CJ.

1224
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 2: Stroud except for one week against Tennessee and two moments

1225
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 2: made it one and number five down by seven, the

1226
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 2: Texans have fought their way back. The Titans needed to

1227
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 2: tie the game. They sat at the three yard line.

1228
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 2: They got stuffed on first down. Nothing on second down,

1229
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 2: third and three. You knew they were gonna have to

1230
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 2: go for that two downs to get it. They only

1231
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 2: need one because Case Keenum would take his Houston and

1232
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 2: Texans legend to another level when he found Noah Brown

1233
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 2: for this touchdown to tie the game in Tennessee.

1234
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 4: It's at number five end zone to our right, crowd

1235
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 4: wrapping it up. Tenth player of the drive, Texans. Ten

1236
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 4: seconds on the play clock.

1237
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: They get out of the huddle, third and doll at

1238
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 1: the three.

1239
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 4: Keenum and the guns Singletary in the backfield but them

1240
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 4: Schultz motioning to the left.

1241
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 1: Kingum to throw. Kingum scrambling to the right, throws to

1242
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: the end zone.

1243
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 5: God touchdown Houston, Noah Brown three yard TD pass, Yes, Baby,

1244
00:59:54,240 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 5: Case Kingum, welcome back touchdown pass the day Noah Brown

1245
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 5: started this game hot, gonna finish this game.

1246
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 2: Hot, all right, It's get to number four and for

1247
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 2: number four, we go to Cincinnati in one of the

1248
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 2: crazier games of the year. The Texans had pretty much

1249
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 2: dominated this game. We're up twenty seven to seventeen, had

1250
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 2: third down at three, had run the ball all day,

1251
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 2: but decided to throw it. CJ threw an interception, the

1252
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 2: Bengals scored made twenty seven to twenty four. Texans couldn't

1253
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 2: get a first down. Bengals went down, kicked the field goal,

1254
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 2: made twenty seven to twenty seven. But the Texans had

1255
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 2: enough time, had enough life, but they were running out

1256
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 2: of it because they got to a third and long

1257
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 2: and thought, my god, they're gonna kick it right back

1258
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 2: to the Bengals, and they couldn't afford to do that.

1259
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 2: So at this point it was time for two guys

1260
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 2: to step up and make plays on not consecutive downs,

1261
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 2: but one down on third down and then two plays

1262
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 2: later the big play. Well they were both big plays,

1263
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 2: So I split this in to four A and four B.

1264
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 2: First one, third down conversion c J. Stroud to Dalton Schultz.

1265
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 2: Second one CJ. Stroud to Noah Brown to get them

1266
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 2: in field goal range to beat the Bengals four A

1267
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 2: and four B.

1268
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: Let's go.

1269
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 5: Here's the snap, Stroud looking, Stroud firing downfield and caught

1270
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 5: by Schultz at the forty six yard line. The tackle

1271
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 5: made by Cam Taylor Britt the forty six of the Bengals.

1272
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 4: Thirty one seconds to go. Now, motion by Boom CJ.

1273
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 4: Takes the snap, throws over the middle, hits Noah Brown

1274
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 4: breaks a tackle thirty twenty five Noah twenty and he's

1275
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 4: wrapped up at the twenty yard line.

1276
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: Timeout called with five seconds to go.

1277
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 5: They get the ball to Brown and they're ready to

1278
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 5: try a field goal.

1279
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 2: Every single yard and Noah Brown fought for was important

1280
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 2: because matt Amadola's thirty nine yard field goal just got

1281
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 2: inside the upright. I'll never forget seeing that thing go

1282
01:01:57,960 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 2: through was absolutely awesome.

1283
01:01:59,760 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 1: Now.

1284
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 2: Texans also had a game winning field goal in overtime

1285
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 2: against the Tennessee Titans, and it wasn't looking good for

1286
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 2: a long time. They tied the game, as you heard earlier,

1287
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 2: with Noe Brown's touchdown, but then overtime the drive they

1288
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 2: had went backwards twenty one yards, so the minute forty

1289
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 2: eight and forty seven. They got the ball back at

1290
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 2: the twenty yard line and it was time for a

1291
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 2: little case Keenum magic. He would find motor for forty

1292
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 2: one yards, which helped set up a long Kimi fairbarn

1293
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 2: Field goal to win it at the gun. But at

1294
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 2: number three, Case Keenum finds motor. A little scramble drill.

1295
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 1: This is awesome.

1296
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 4: One forty three to go in overtime, two timeouts for

1297
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 4: the Texans. Case Kingum shut gun first down Texans at

1298
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 4: the Houston twenty Motor in the backfield.

1299
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: Case puts the leg down.

1300
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 4: Kingum to throw Keenum pocket collapsing, scrambles to the right.

1301
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 1: Kanum floats the ball downfield.

1302
01:02:55,720 --> 01:03:00,040
Speaker 5: He's got a man motor across the fifty forty right sideline,

1303
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 5: well in the Titan territory and the bounds at the

1304
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 5: thirty eight yard line.

1305
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 1: Big playing a singletary.

1306
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 2: Texas would beat the Titans dressed as oilers, and it

1307
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 2: was freaking awe some awesome, just as awesome was against Arizona.

1308
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 2: We came back for a three game stretch, had the

1309
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 2: Cardinals at home, and right before the half, CJ. Stroud

1310
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 2: found tank Dell forty yards down the field, and then

1311
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 2: there was a really cool moment. So two A is

1312
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 2: the touchdown to B is well, they'll just take a

1313
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 2: listen to what two B is.

1314
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 4: Offset iye, CJ drops back in the pocket, looking flushed

1315
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 4: out to the right. CJ comes at long downfield and

1316
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 4: got touchdown.

1317
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 5: Amazing catch, Tank Dell wanna throw by Stroud. F Del

1318
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 5: with the reception jump said to the stands.

1319
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 11: Go Coobs, that's my guy. Unbelievable. What a grand Bay

1320
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 11: Tank Dale. I mean, he extended every bit of his

1321
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 11: body to make that catch.

1322
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 5: Whoa extra point by Amadola up and good and the

1323
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 5: crowd is chatting.

1324
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: M P fors c J Stroud.

1325
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 2: Now, unfortunately with the injury, obviously CJ not gonna be

1326
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 2: in the MVP discussion at the end of the year,

1327
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 2: but he certainly was at that moment. He certainly was

1328
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 2: the dude we all thought he was going to be,

1329
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 2: whether he's MVP or not. Okay, let's get to number one,

1330
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 2: and there again, is gonna be a little sharing here

1331
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 2: because to me, there are two moments and they both

1332
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 2: come in the regular season. One happened in a game

1333
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 2: against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The other happened in Week

1334
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 2: eighteen against the Indianapolis Colts.

1335
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: You knew it. We were coming down to this.

1336
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 2: I couldn't decide between the two, so I decided, you

1337
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 2: know what, screw it, I'm putting them both at number one.

1338
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 1: My up A eleven. I'm gonna do what I want.

1339
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:01,439
Speaker 1: So let's start with number one.

1340
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 2: A CJ to Tank to beat the Bucks.

1341
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: Thirty nine thirty seven.

1342
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 5: Strand of the gun, empty backfield after motion, first down

1343
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 5: of the Bucks, fifteen ten seconds to go.

1344
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: CJ gets the snap. CJ looking throwing to the end.

1345
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 10: Zone, the slade down with the.

1346
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 1: Rest option rock and roll.

1347
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 5: My goodness, there are flats on the field put beyond

1348
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 5: the defense.

1349
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 10: Wanta come back?

1350
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: Go Koogs, Let's go.

1351
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 5: Here's the call from land Clark, bring us some good news.

1352
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 5: After the play, unfortunately, conduct defense four.

1353
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 2: That is the ultimate offensive moment at home playoffs are

1354
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 2: otherwise throws that out route, that's sale route to Tank

1355
01:05:55,480 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 2: on the play before Tank drags the foot. Next play,

1356
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 2: Tank back in the end zone, touchdown. Place went nuts.

1357
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 3: I mean it was.

1358
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 2: It was incredible joining CJ and Tank up on the podium.

1359
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 2: It's gotta be if obviously we know CJS drives MVP

1360
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 2: Offensive MVP of the Year. Nico Collins is right there

1361
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 2: behind him. Week eighteen, Colts go up three to nothing.

1362
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 2: First offensive drive, first offensive play, dial it.

1363
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 1: Up Baby, throw it deep one B.

1364
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 2: CJ finds Nico seventy five yard touchdown. That and the

1365
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 2: play at Tampa Bay are both at number one.

1366
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 4: First down from the Houston twenty five yard line. Devin

1367
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 4: Singletary in the backfield, CJ under center, with Nico Collins

1368
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 4: to the wife side left and Schultzen motion to that side.

1369
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 1: CJ calls him out.

1370
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 4: CJ will throw on the first play for the Texan

1371
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 4: steps up, fires deep.

1372
01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 5: Down the field and cut by Nico Collins up the

1373
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 5: twenty ten five rock and roll touchdown Houston seventy five

1374
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 5: yards on the opening play.

1375
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 1: Hello, indeed, unreal? What a throw? What a catch? What

1376
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 1: a start to this game?

1377
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 11: You cannot win a football game early kicking field goals.

1378
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,439
Speaker 11: They knew it was going to be zone coverage. That's

1379
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 11: exactly what the Colts do every single week, weekend, week out.

1380
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:30,919
Speaker 11: Another outstanding job by this coaching staff of knowing what

1381
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 11: to expect and then deliver it.

1382
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 4: Beginning the game with an explosion wow at Lucas Oil Stadium.

1383
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 1: And not a bad place for that to have happened.

1384
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 2: All right, when we get back, it's a quickie the

1385
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 2: ultimate play of the year.

1386
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 1: In my opinion.

1387
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 2: In my opinion, we'll have that for you next right

1388
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 2: here on Texans All Access. What's up, everybody walking back

Speaker 2: the ultimate eleven offensive Plays of the Year revised.

1394
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: I revised it at number one. It was Tank Dell's

1395
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 1: touchdown catch against Tampa Bay.

1396
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:28,719
Speaker 2: It was revised to a tie tank Dell, Tankdell's touchdown

1397
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 2: catch against Tampa Bay and Nicocollins seventy five yard touchdown

1398
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 2: catch against Indianapolis in Week eighteen.

1399
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:41,559
Speaker 1: I couldn't pick between the two, so I just went.

1400
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 10: With both of them.

1401
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 2: Now, to me, the play of the year, though, was

1402
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 2: actually neither of those. I don't think now. I do

1403
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:53,680
Speaker 2: think we could have beaten Tampa Bay and I do

1404
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 2: think we could have beaten India at the end of

1405
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:58,639
Speaker 2: the year. But without a win in week three, I'm

1406
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 2: not totally sure that the Texans even get to a

1407
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 2: point where they're in a playoff hunt. They go down

1408
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:09,759
Speaker 2: to Jacksonville and lose, they're owing three. All things set

1409
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,839
Speaker 2: that point change. You know, Look, maybe they don't beat Jacksonville,

1410
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:14,640
Speaker 2: but they do beat Carolina in the same spot. I mean,

1411
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 2: who knows. So we've seen this team start zering three.

1412
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 2: They did it in twenty eighteen. They bounce back, but

1413
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 2: that was a different squad. But going down to Jacksonville

1414
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 2: and making a statement was huge. So first half at

1415
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 2: Jacksonville seventeen to nothing, got it under control, hammering the Jacks,

1416
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:32,479
Speaker 2: just hammering him.

1417
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 10: It's awesome.

1418
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 2: Jacks come out the second half. You know they're gonna

1419
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 2: fight back there. THEYFCEE South Champs at twenty twenty two.

1420
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:41,800
Speaker 2: They fight back three points here, touchdown there, seventeen to ten.

1421
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 2: They're getting back in it. Crowds in it.

1422
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 3: Oh, dang it.

1423
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 1: We got a lot of time in this game, man,

1424
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 1: we gotta do something.

1425
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:53,560
Speaker 2: We need points on this drive, well, the ball was

1426
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 2: kicked off, and it was kicked off very very short.

1427
01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:01,799
Speaker 2: Then an adventure began that finished with the ultimate play

1428
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty three season.

1429
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 4: Right here, Brandon McManus will kick off from aarra left

1430
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 4: to right with Mike Boone back deep, one yard deep

1431
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 4: at the end zone. Last time he let it bounce

1432
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 4: and this is gonna be inside the ten and this

1433
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 4: is dropped picked up by Beck. Beck still going running

1434
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 4: to the right side. Beck has some room.

1435
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 5: Twenty five, thirty, thirty five, forty, he's at the fifty.

1436
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 5: He's at the forty five of Jacksonville. Beck across the

1437
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 5: thirty to twenty, the fifteen, ten to five, Are you kidding?

1438
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 5: Rock and roll touchdown Houston. My goodness, oh my Beck

1439
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 5: picked up the ball. The earth started shaking in North Florida,

1440
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:46,680
Speaker 5: and he ran to the right side and found the

1441
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 5: lane to the end zone.

1442
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 1: It's why they tell those guys never to back up.

1443
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 2: That to me turn the season around. It is sure

1444
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 2: to win in Jacksonville.

1445
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: And that was the start of the twenty three season.

1446
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 1: We get back.

1447
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 2: It's Demko Reloaded right here in Texans All Access during

1448
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 2: Friday show throughout the year on Texans All Access, we

1449
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 2: got to where we would play what we called Demiko Reloaded,

1450
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 2: and we finished the week with the words from Dimico

1451
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 2: from our interview with me and Mark, and we had

1452
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 2: a chance to catch up with him today And if

1453
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 2: you missed out of the Coaches Show, you know what,

1454
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 2: we just want to play for you again because we

1455
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 2: feel like the future this franchise is so bright.

1456
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:32,280
Speaker 1: And we didn't talk one one lick really about the

1457
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: Baltimore game, to be honest.

1458
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 2: We just talked about the season and it was a

1459
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 2: really fun conversation. So that's the way we're going to

1460
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:41,679
Speaker 2: end all access right here, a little Demko reloaded.

1461
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,679
Speaker 4: Here we go one more time for the twenty twenty

1462
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 4: three season in the Hunday Texans Radio studio with head

1463
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 4: coach Demiko, Ryan's coach.

1464
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: Great to see.

1465
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 4: I know it didn't end the way you wanted it to,

1466
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,679
Speaker 4: but what a campaign. I know, a lot of reflection

1467
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 4: right now looking forward to the future. Your thoughts as

1468
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 4: you embark on twenty twenty four.

1469
01:11:57,640 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 10: Oh wow, what an incredible season.

1470
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:04,800
Speaker 13: I told our guys this morning, I really appreciate all

1471
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 13: of our guys for the work that they put in.

1472
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 13: I think what goes unnoticed in this season is how

1473
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:13,440
Speaker 13: many guys have to push through and they're playing through injuries,

1474
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 13: they're playing through pain, and they're doing everything possible to

1475
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 13: just go line up and play. So I just want

1476
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 13: to let guys know I don't take that lightly and

1477
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 13: really appreciative for the guys and the sacrifice that they

1478
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 13: put their bodies through to allow us to have the

1479
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 13: season that we have. But man, many many great accomplishments

1480
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 13: throughout the season, a lot of special.

1481
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:37,559
Speaker 10: Moments, and I think just none other than just seeing

1482
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 10: the young.

1483
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 13: Group of guys, our rookies, our young players being able

1484
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 13: to step in and immediately impact our team right and

1485
01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:46,680
Speaker 13: be the reason why we had a successful season. You

1486
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:50,639
Speaker 13: talk about the impact of Cjr. Right off the back.

1487
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 13: You want to win games in this league, you have

1488
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 13: to have a quarterback right who can get the job done,

1489
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 13: who can lead an offense. And to get a young

1490
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 13: player his first year to accomplish all of the things

1491
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 13: he accomplished, all the records he was able to set,

1492
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 13: and to know he's just getting started, right, it's just

1493
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:10,639
Speaker 13: so encouraging for the future and to see where we

1494
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 13: are when you know you have a young player who's

1495
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 13: been through those two minute drives, who's led our team

1496
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 13: to winning drives, right it's encouraging to continue to build

1497
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 13: on the success that he's had and man, what a

1498
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 13: bright future we have with.

1499
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 1: Him, coach.

1500
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 2: I think the word culture is used a lot, and

1501
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 2: I think sometimes it's not really appreciated. To find very well,

1502
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 2: he called vibe whatever it is. I know, Mark and

1503
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 2: I have talked about this a lot, the fact that

1504
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 2: we wanted to be in the building every single day

1505
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 2: to see the guys, to see you, to be around

1506
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:46,799
Speaker 2: this particular team.

1507
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:48,960
Speaker 1: How important was it for you.

1508
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 2: To kind of estab establish the culture, your culture the

1509
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:55,439
Speaker 2: way you wanted to see it, and you feel like

1510
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 2: you were able to do it to the extent you

1511
01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 2: wanted to this year, right.

1512
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:00,839
Speaker 13: I do feel that, man, that culture or it drives

1513
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 13: not only the team, but it drives the entire building right,

1514
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 13: our entire organization. But to see you know, whether it's

1515
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 13: the business side, or see everybody you walk past in

1516
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 13: the halls, just to see the smiles on everyone's faces,

1517
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 13: the excitement right to be pre prepping for a playoff game,

1518
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 13: then feel that buzz and the energy.

1519
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 10: It's one thing you know, for me, is to get

1520
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 10: that culture right.

1521
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 13: It's about the people that you bring in right, And

1522
01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 13: so starting with the free agents that we brought in

1523
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:29,800
Speaker 13: and then our rookie class. It's like we brought in

1524
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:34,479
Speaker 13: the right people who had the right mindset, positive energy, right,

1525
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 13: they had a ton of success by growing closer together

1526
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 13: throughout the entire year. I felt like at that culture

1527
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 13: it kind of permeated when our team continued to get

1528
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:46,720
Speaker 13: closer and closer and closer, and I felt like, man,

1529
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 13: we got connected right at the right moment. Towards the

1530
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:51,280
Speaker 13: end of the season. We needed to make a run,

1531
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 13: and we needed a lot of special plays by a

1532
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:57,519
Speaker 13: lot of special people. Man, it showed up most. So

1533
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 13: that culture is definitely happened quickly, right, And to get

1534
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:03,759
Speaker 13: that in the first year and to continue to build

1535
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 13: off of that, I think it's very encouraging for us.

1536
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:08,479
Speaker 4: You mentioned in your press conference one of the great

1537
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:10,800
Speaker 4: memories is the Tampa Bay game because of the way

1538
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:14,559
Speaker 4: the guys really banded together in that game and Dari

1539
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 4: Gonna be Wily kicking a field goal. I mean that

1540
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:19,679
Speaker 4: kind of was a great example of teamwork right there,

1541
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:22,040
Speaker 4: everybody doing even more than their job.

1542
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 10: Maybe, Yeah, it helps.

1543
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:25,639
Speaker 13: Man, When I first my first team and I said

1544
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 13: this is gonna be a team first, Morganize is gonna

1545
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 13: be about the team, our first, you know, message to

1546
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 13: our guys. So the number one rule is to protect

1547
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:36,600
Speaker 13: the team. So it's all about that team atmosphere that

1548
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 13: you come to the Tampa Bay game. Right then, we

1549
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 13: got our our running back kicking field goals. I mean

1550
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,280
Speaker 13: the plays that our rookie quarterback is making on this

1551
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,320
Speaker 13: two minute drive right to put us in position to

1552
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 13: another rookie, Tank Dale showing up making unbelievable cantes. I mean,

1553
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:58,800
Speaker 13: it was it was such a it was a it

1554
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 13: was a loose game. Fund They say, man, we lost

1555
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 13: our kicker, Like what what.

1556
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:03,559
Speaker 3: Are we gonna do?

1557
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 13: Daray is warming up and Frankie is going It's like, hey, coach,

1558
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 13: I know his rains.

1559
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:09,639
Speaker 1: He's here.

1560
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 13: It's like I'm listening to the running backs range as

1561
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 13: a kickers, like this just a game, a moment. I'll

1562
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 13: never forget it. And for me having to make the

1563
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 13: call to you know what, we were going for two,

1564
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:23,800
Speaker 13: going for two, it's like, you know what, let's kick

1565
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,919
Speaker 13: it and he makes it. And to see the reaction

1566
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 13: from our sideline, to see the reaction from our our

1567
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:34,200
Speaker 13: fans just going crazy. See Daray's reaction with the Steph

1568
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 13: Curry walk off, mom. It was just such a cool

1569
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 13: game one I always remember.

1570
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:42,640
Speaker 2: As you're going back through all of that him like

1571
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:45,840
Speaker 2: a lot that all happened in one game. I mean,

1572
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 2: it wasn't a game winning fuel goal, it was pretty

1573
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 2: darn close, which kind of goes to the concept of

1574
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 2: the team. If you're counted as a game winning fuel goal,

1575
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 2: you three guys kick game winning field goals this year,

1576
01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:00,640
Speaker 2: which is pretty crazy, is that you're is that the

1577
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 2: one that ultimately stands out more than any other? Does

1578
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 2: it stand out more than Indy? I mean that win

1579
01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 2: at Indy is get you in the playoffs. You beat Indy, which,

1580
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:13,799
Speaker 2: by the way, we got an eight game road division

1581
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:17,280
Speaker 2: winning streak, going just kind of odd, but we've got that.

1582
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:19,479
Speaker 2: You want all three game division games on the road.

1583
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:22,760
Speaker 2: But what does the Indie game sit, coach? The second one,

1584
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 2: of course, not the first one.

1585
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:26,560
Speaker 13: The second one sits, you know, right next to the

1586
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 13: Tampa Bay game. Right when you talk about another mess

1587
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 13: is I always give our guys is like, whatever we

1588
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 13: have to do, however.

1589
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:36,839
Speaker 10: We have to get it done.

1590
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 13: We have to win this game to have an opportunity

1591
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 13: to play in the playoffs, and every season, every time

1592
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 13: you start, that goal is to win your division, because

1593
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:48,559
Speaker 13: you know, you win a division, you're in the playoffs.

1594
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 13: Everyone wants to play postseason football. So to be able,

1595
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 13: right for it to come down to that the last

1596
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 13: drive of that game, and it was wow, what a

1597
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 13: moment and it's probably the highest I've jumped in a

1598
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 13: long time. It was pretty high. Clinch an awesome moment

1599
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 13: for our team. I was so happy for our guys

1600
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 13: man that first, our first year together, for them to

1601
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:12,680
Speaker 13: be able to get into the playoffs. Like, I know

1602
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 13: how special that is. I know it's the one you

1603
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 13: always remember because I tell those guys, man, I played

1604
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:19,439
Speaker 13: for ten years and I only made it to the

1605
01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 13: playoffs a few times, and you remember those times and

1606
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 13: those are special. And so I want our guys to

1607
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:27,599
Speaker 13: feel that, you know, every single year, I want them

1608
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 13: to feel that. So to get that done at that

1609
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 13: moment versus divisional rival, like that was one that's up

1610
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,919
Speaker 13: there as well. You clinch your spot in the playoffs.

1611
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 13: The excitement just from everyone. I was happy. It's like, man,

1612
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 13: we did it. We're in And that was a special

1613
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:43,639
Speaker 13: moment for us.

1614
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:46,280
Speaker 4: Seven of the ten regular season wins you got were

1615
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 4: nail bitterers, all down of the wire, and as you know,

1616
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 4: those can go either way, but you got seven of

1617
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,960
Speaker 4: them to go your way. And even though the team

1618
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 4: changes year to year, are you going to use those

1619
01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 4: as teaching moments in the future, Hey, look what happens here.

1620
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:01,840
Speaker 4: We got to make the plays down the stretch. And

1621
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:04,120
Speaker 4: I know you'd rather just blow people out, but it

1622
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:05,280
Speaker 4: doesn't always happen that way.

1623
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 10: It doesn't happen that way. There's a crazy stat.

1624
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,599
Speaker 13: In the around the league that I mean, it's over

1625
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 13: eighty percent of games come down to that last drive

1626
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:17,639
Speaker 13: or come I would say within nine points.

1627
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 10: Most games are determined.

1628
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:20,840
Speaker 13: And that's why I tell people, that's why they have

1629
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 13: that red zone channel and everybody's tilling in because there's

1630
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 13: always excitement on that final drive for us to gain

1631
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 13: that experience and get those learning lessons in the last

1632
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:34,520
Speaker 13: drives of games. I think it truly helps your confidence

1633
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:36,879
Speaker 13: when you have a young quarterback. For a rookie quarterback

1634
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 13: to be able to drive down the field in those

1635
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 13: two minute situations and make those plays right as he

1636
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 13: faces those as he moves forward in his career, it's

1637
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:49,000
Speaker 13: like I've been here before, so it's not gonna be

1638
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 13: a moment of an anxious moment or nerve.

1639
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 10: Like I've been here. I know what it takes. Let's

1640
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:56,400
Speaker 10: do this, this and this.

1641
01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:59,519
Speaker 13: I remember when I drove down versus Tampa Bay and

1642
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 13: make these plays to win a game put us in position.

1643
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 10: So I think it does.

1644
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 13: If it does anything, it's that confidence booster that man,

1645
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 13: we've been here. Games are always going to be close

1646
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:12,080
Speaker 13: in the NFL, but we know how to operate in

1647
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:14,679
Speaker 13: those moments. We learned a ton in our first year

1648
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:15,679
Speaker 13: of how to get it done.

1649
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:16,120
Speaker 1: Coach.

1650
01:20:16,160 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 2: One of the things I heard Skid from Chris Peterson

1651
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 2: and Boise State. I'll never forget when he said this

1652
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:23,240
Speaker 2: when two thousand and six they'd won that Fiesta Bowl

1653
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:25,600
Speaker 2: and nobody knew wo Boiseley State was. I talked to

1654
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 2: him in two thousand and nine. He said, John, you

1655
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:31,519
Speaker 2: know what became our biggest opponent was expectation. He was like,

1656
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 2: dealing with expectation became something different in years after that.

1657
01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:37,800
Speaker 1: We had to learn how to deal with expectation.

1658
01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:41,360
Speaker 2: And I bring that up because we're no longer going

1659
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 2: to be Oh Dimiko Ryans and the cute little story.

1660
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 1: That's the Texans.

1661
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 2: There's going to be a lot of expectations heaped on

1662
01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 2: you in the future and on this team and this

1663
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 2: organization in the future. How tough coach is that to

1664
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 2: kind of deal with that as you go forward, and

1665
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:59,520
Speaker 2: how important will it be to deal with those expectations

1666
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 2: of a lot of people going forward?

1667
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 13: You know, John is there's no greater expectations than the

1668
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:07,639
Speaker 13: expectations we put on ourselves. So with that being said,

1669
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 13: like we had those expectations even this year.

1670
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:13,160
Speaker 10: You know, everybody, no one on the outside kind of

1671
01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 10: knew what we had or who we could beat.

1672
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 13: So but for me, that's the expectation every year because

1673
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:21,719
Speaker 13: I know all the work that goes into Like guys

1674
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 13: just given their all to win games and be in games.

1675
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 13: So for us, it's like, man, we expect to win

1676
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:31,679
Speaker 13: every game internally, right, no matter what they say externally,

1677
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:34,760
Speaker 13: we expect that. So moving forward, if the expectations are

1678
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 13: higher on the outside, still doesn't change for us. Like

1679
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 13: that's where that's why we've always been, that's how we

1680
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:42,800
Speaker 13: always operate. And I think if anything, it's a it's

1681
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 13: great that now you know the Texans will be talked

1682
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:49,000
Speaker 13: about in that light of expecting to you know, win

1683
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,640
Speaker 13: a division, expecting to be in the playoffs, and now

1684
01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 13: how far can we go and move forward?

1685
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,719
Speaker 4: A couple of things about players venturing off into the offseason. Coach,

1686
01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:59,760
Speaker 4: give me an example or maybe a hypothetical on the

1687
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 4: you might address a player in a one on one

1688
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 4: who you know is coming back, but there they go

1689
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 4: into the off season. Do you give them a list

1690
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 4: of things to improve upon or just things to handle?

1691
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:11,639
Speaker 4: How do you handle that kind of first thing.

1692
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 13: Going into the off season, Tell guys, make sure you

1693
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 13: get some risks, right, That's the most important thing, right,

1694
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:19,120
Speaker 13: is just man decompressed, get some rest.

1695
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:21,559
Speaker 10: Long season. You need that time to rest.

1696
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 13: And then it's a period of time and call it

1697
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 13: mid February where man, you need to be in the

1698
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 13: weight room. You need to be on it, you know,

1699
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 13: with it when it comes to the strength and conditioning

1700
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 13: aspect of your game. That's where you get where I've

1701
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 13: seen guys gain the most, gain the most to their

1702
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:41,960
Speaker 13: game or being able to add you know, to their

1703
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 13: game and taking care of their bodies is when you

1704
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 13: get in that weight room in mid February and you're

1705
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:50,639
Speaker 13: working so come OTA's, you're not getting ready and ot

1706
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 13: like you've you're there, you're prepared, you're ready to go.

1707
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:56,720
Speaker 13: And when guys are taking care of their bodies the

1708
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 13: right way, that's where I lean on the most talking

1709
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:00,599
Speaker 13: to guys in the all seas, and it is making

1710
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 13: sure you handle that February through April the right way

1711
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 13: because if you handle that the right way, those guys

1712
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:09,000
Speaker 13: they did that right, then they're gonna.

1713
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 10: Have a healthy season. And that's where it all starts.

1714
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:13,640
Speaker 13: And then we'll get to the x's and o's or

1715
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 13: different techniques of how to get better when we hit OTA's.

1716
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 13: But your body has to be in prime condition and

1717
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:22,599
Speaker 13: ready to sustain you through the entire season.

1718
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:25,040
Speaker 4: Did you change the way you handled that part when

1719
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 4: you were a player and has that affected how you

1720
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 4: coach players?

1721
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:29,679
Speaker 10: Yeah, different from when we were playing.

1722
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:32,560
Speaker 13: Like the off season started like around this time, and

1723
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 13: you know, after the new CBA agreement, the off season

1724
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 13: was shortened, so you only get nine weeks, and that

1725
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 13: you cannot just squeeze in a full off season in

1726
01:23:43,439 --> 01:23:46,160
Speaker 13: nine weeks. It takes way more time than that. So

1727
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,960
Speaker 13: for me, we were working that way and they'll just

1728
01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:51,720
Speaker 13: here working out all the time. But now it's just

1729
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 13: getting our players back to that mode of that's what

1730
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:56,799
Speaker 13: it takes to have a healthy season.

1731
01:23:57,120 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 10: You got to be prepared in mid February.

1732
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 2: You have a special relationship with a lot of players,

1733
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 2: but the head coach quarterback relationship, I'd imagine that something

1734
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:09,560
Speaker 2: pretty special, and you were able to establish that this

1735
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:11,840
Speaker 2: year with CJ stroud A.

1736
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:13,479
Speaker 1: How special was that?

1737
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:16,679
Speaker 2: With CJ be as great as he was, there's always

1738
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:19,280
Speaker 2: obviously room for improvement. What do you think are the

1739
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:21,240
Speaker 2: keys for CJ taking a step from year one to

1740
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:21,639
Speaker 2: year two.

1741
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a great relationship, right. CJ is a very

1742
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 13: genuine person, right, and it's easy to talk to him.

1743
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:32,120
Speaker 13: Easy to remember even back when we were figuring it

1744
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:35,680
Speaker 13: out in OTA's training camp. Remember, sometimes you definitely get

1745
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 13: heated at mean because I'm putting the pressure on him

1746
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:40,639
Speaker 13: because I know what's gonna come. You know, in the season,

1747
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 13: it's going to be a lot of pressure. So I

1748
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 13: like to put those put the quarterback in that pressure

1749
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 13: position in the off season, right, and you know, just

1750
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 13: seeing him grow, seeing his command of the huddle, seeing

1751
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:57,400
Speaker 13: his communication with the offense, his ability to get everybody

1752
01:24:57,479 --> 01:24:59,600
Speaker 13: in the spots when they're asking him a ton of

1753
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:03,480
Speaker 13: course after they break the huddle. Seeing just his confidence

1754
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 13: and calm of getting everybody in the right spot and

1755
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:08,360
Speaker 13: just seeing him grow as a player throughout the year

1756
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:11,799
Speaker 13: has been It's been special, and I think he'll continue

1757
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:14,680
Speaker 13: to take those steps. We got to continue to help him,

1758
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 13: surround him with the right people to help him right.

1759
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:20,519
Speaker 13: He wants to throw the football all all day, every

1760
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 13: players asking me, last guy, let me go in. I

1761
01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 13: want to just like nah, man, this is kind of

1762
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:27,720
Speaker 13: out of hand, but it just shows his mindset. He's

1763
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 13: always competing. If you have a guy who has that

1764
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:34,559
Speaker 13: competitive spirit, has that internal dry to continue to get better,

1765
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 13: is easy to work.

1766
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 3: With the guy.

1767
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 4: I would never ask you this in the offseason, but

1768
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 4: since we're recapping twenty twenty three, still a little bit here, coach,

1769
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 4: and I know we're getting ready for next season already.

1770
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 4: A couple of sentences from the following games. First Jacksonville

1771
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:52,920
Speaker 4: down there, your first win. What stands out to you

1772
01:25:53,080 --> 01:25:54,120
Speaker 4: A couple of things.

1773
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 13: The first Jacksonville game, just the dominance and how we

1774
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 13: ran the football throughout that game, and how we ran

1775
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:08,880
Speaker 13: control the Andrew Beck like the return for a touch

1776
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 13: the kickoff return for a touchdown, the heaviest player in

1777
01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:17,840
Speaker 13: the NFL to return, I mean, the the Blake cash

1778
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:18,439
Speaker 13: Man pick.

1779
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:19,160
Speaker 3: I mean it was.

1780
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:21,759
Speaker 13: It was a lot of a lot of cool moments,

1781
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:25,160
Speaker 13: but none cooler than just lining up in four minute

1782
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:27,600
Speaker 13: mode and they know you're running the ball. We know

1783
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:29,800
Speaker 13: we're running the football, and to be able to just

1784
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:32,960
Speaker 13: seal that game the way we ran the football, That's

1785
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:33,879
Speaker 13: the thing that sticks.

1786
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:34,080
Speaker 10: Out the most.

1787
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:35,639
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do them all, but what about

1788
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh here on JJ Watt Day.

1789
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,679
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, JJ Watt Day in the in the battle

1790
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 10: Red Jerseys.

1791
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:47,120
Speaker 13: What sticks out most there is offensive line and the

1792
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:50,719
Speaker 13: job that they did versus you know, sorry JJ.

1793
01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:51,840
Speaker 10: But your brother there, TJ.

1794
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 13: We shut him out, and just seeing our offensive line

1795
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 13: because we had a lot of injuries at that time

1796
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:01,120
Speaker 13: on to our offensive line, but seeing the way they

1797
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:03,720
Speaker 13: stepped up, didn't matter who was in there, like, they

1798
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 13: did a great job of protecting and we were able to,

1799
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 13: you know, protect CJ. In that game, we played well,

1800
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 13: Steve steven Nelson with the pick on the deep ball,

1801
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 13: just a really great game from the defense. We talk

1802
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 13: about swarm and always go back to that game. I'm

1803
01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:21,400
Speaker 13: trying to find some old clips. When I talk about

1804
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:24,439
Speaker 13: swarming as a defense, that game sticks out because they

1805
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:27,600
Speaker 13: our guys flew around and it was multiple guys at

1806
01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:29,480
Speaker 13: the ball, like every snap.

1807
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:33,400
Speaker 1: A zooma had at Cincinnati that win at the buzzer.

1808
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:34,960
Speaker 10: Who had Cincinnati.

1809
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:41,720
Speaker 13: Wow, man, it was motor again in the way his

1810
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:46,559
Speaker 13: touchdown on the outside cracked toss play and seeing Dalton

1811
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:48,639
Speaker 13: and Fance block there.

1812
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:51,160
Speaker 10: Awesome played. And of course there's.

1813
01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 13: Noah Brown there at the end the way you know

1814
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:56,840
Speaker 13: he catches that pass to get us in field goal range.

1815
01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:59,720
Speaker 13: And one that sticks out is Michael Dieter. He's just

1816
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:03,120
Speaker 13: they're watching Noah running. He's looking at the clock, looking

1817
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 13: at He's telling Noah to get down, get down, and

1818
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 13: he starts banging the time out like that that moment

1819
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:11,880
Speaker 13: right there. Then Matt and Mondola right Steven in the kick.

1820
01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 4: I got one more at tennessee them we're in the

1821
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 4: order uniforms. You don't have c JF case he hits,

1822
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:20,759
Speaker 4: but doing your I'm like, I'm about to start crying,

1823
01:28:21,560 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 4: but these are these are standing out.

1824
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:24,840
Speaker 1: I just wanted to get your thoughts on that one.

1825
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, that was that game there stood out.

1826
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 13: I mean from the first snap, like Christian Harris, I

1827
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:31,720
Speaker 13: think that's where he started to show up even more,

1828
01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 13: playing physical versus Derrick Henry. Entire defense shutting out Derrick Henry.

1829
01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:40,479
Speaker 13: That was just the moment from the entire game. But

1830
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:44,639
Speaker 13: then you know, seeing Case, you know, roll out there

1831
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 13: at the end and he finds Motor and he's running

1832
01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 13: down the sideline, and I know, it's like, we got it,

1833
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 13: we got it, we got this game is over.

1834
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 11: Man.

1835
01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:55,320
Speaker 10: That was that was one.

1836
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:58,599
Speaker 13: Of course, so much pride for all of our fans

1837
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 13: back here in Houston, and everybody felt the way about the.

1838
01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:04,880
Speaker 10: Oilers jersey and then wearing them versus US.

1839
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:08,439
Speaker 13: So I was happy to see how happy our fans

1840
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:11,160
Speaker 13: were we got back and thank you for beating them

1841
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:12,839
Speaker 13: and they're winning the Oilers jerseys.

1842
01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:14,360
Speaker 10: They were very thankful for that.

1843
01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:16,360
Speaker 1: One coach along those lines to that game, I'm glad

1844
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:16,880
Speaker 1: you brought that up.

1845
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 3: Mark.

1846
01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that we've talked to you about this.

1847
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 2: How difficult the decision was that that week to go

1848
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:25,960
Speaker 2: with Case in that particular game and that situation. How

1849
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:27,960
Speaker 2: tough was that for you as a coach knowing you've

1850
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:31,640
Speaker 2: got two capable guys, but okay, we're gonna go a

1851
01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:34,559
Speaker 2: case in this game. We just think he gives us

1852
01:29:34,560 --> 01:29:36,400
Speaker 2: a better chance to win. How tough was that a

1853
01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:38,080
Speaker 2: week for you to kind of make that decision?

1854
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:39,320
Speaker 10: Very tough.

1855
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:42,559
Speaker 13: I can't say I made that decision easy. I can't

1856
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:45,960
Speaker 13: say I rested well through throughout that week because it

1857
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:48,600
Speaker 13: was it was a tough decision to make, just for

1858
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:49,879
Speaker 13: all parties involved.

1859
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 10: Very tough.

1860
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 13: You know, as the week went on, felt like, you know,

1861
01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:56,160
Speaker 13: it was the right decision, and I felt like, man,

1862
01:29:56,240 --> 01:29:58,600
Speaker 13: the decisions I made has to be the decision to

1863
01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:00,920
Speaker 13: put us in the best position win a game. And

1864
01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:04,160
Speaker 13: that's what I kept going back to, like who's gonna

1865
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:07,559
Speaker 13: or what combination of guys are gonna help us win

1866
01:30:07,680 --> 01:30:08,120
Speaker 13: this game?

1867
01:30:08,280 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 10: And that allow me to make that decision.

1868
01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:13,120
Speaker 4: All Right, you're a head coach, so I know this happens.

1869
01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 4: Sometimes you think about the losses more than the wins.

1870
01:30:15,479 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 4: But what will you take away from the losses that

1871
01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:21,360
Speaker 4: you did have into the future and say we've got

1872
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:22,240
Speaker 4: to be more this.

1873
01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:24,599
Speaker 1: What can you tell the listeners about that? Coach?

1874
01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:27,320
Speaker 13: Yeah, with the losses, I mean I just go back

1875
01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 13: to our most recent losses versus Baltimore, it's like, you know,

1876
01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:37,120
Speaker 13: we we gotta we gotta be better when it comes

1877
01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:40,919
Speaker 13: to just pre snap operation. We gotta play cleaner football.

1878
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:43,960
Speaker 13: We have to be able to run the football more effectively,

1879
01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:48,560
Speaker 13: to sustain drives right and defensively like and it's just

1880
01:30:48,640 --> 01:30:51,639
Speaker 13: all across the all across. When you lose games like, man,

1881
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:54,679
Speaker 13: did your playmakers show up and make plays when they're

1882
01:30:54,680 --> 01:30:55,880
Speaker 13: in position to make plays?

1883
01:30:56,280 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 4: Right?

1884
01:30:56,479 --> 01:30:59,840
Speaker 13: It felt like no game speaks more to than the

1885
01:31:00,120 --> 01:31:03,760
Speaker 13: Ravens game. Their playmaker Lamar Jackson in the second half,

1886
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:06,240
Speaker 13: he took off, he put the team on his back

1887
01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:10,000
Speaker 13: and he made plays. Okay, who are our playmakers who

1888
01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:12,400
Speaker 13: can step up in the critical moments to help us

1889
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:13,040
Speaker 13: win games?

1890
01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:13,320
Speaker 3: Right?

1891
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:15,639
Speaker 10: That's what this league will always be about.

1892
01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:20,080
Speaker 13: The players, and the best players shine at the brightest moments,

1893
01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:23,080
Speaker 13: and that's what we have to have, right, big time

1894
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:25,680
Speaker 13: playmakers step up in the big time moments to get

1895
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:27,920
Speaker 13: us over that hump we get in that spot again

1896
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:31,160
Speaker 13: in a divisional round, like, who are playmakers who are

1897
01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:32,400
Speaker 13: willing to shine in that moment?

1898
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:33,200
Speaker 3: Coach?

1899
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:34,880
Speaker 2: I mean this in a hopefully it's going to come

1900
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:36,760
Speaker 2: out a bad way, but as you look back at

1901
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:41,800
Speaker 2: your year as a head coach, which everybody, I mean,

1902
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:44,040
Speaker 2: I know you don't love on social media, but I'm

1903
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:46,560
Speaker 2: sure Omar told you at some point that you were

1904
01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:49,200
Speaker 2: a superstar social media because of your video talking with

1905
01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:52,800
Speaker 2: Christian Harris about what he was gonna see and then

1906
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:53,639
Speaker 2: it came to fruition.

1907
01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:56,080
Speaker 1: But as a head coach, there's so many things in

1908
01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:59,640
Speaker 1: your first year that you learn to do on the

1909
01:31:59,800 --> 01:32:01,960
Speaker 1: job as you go forward.

1910
01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:04,200
Speaker 2: Are some of the things that you feel like you

1911
01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:06,720
Speaker 2: want to do a little bit better or didn't do

1912
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:09,400
Speaker 2: that you know you're gonna face going forward as as

1913
01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:09,960
Speaker 2: a head coach.

1914
01:32:10,080 --> 01:32:12,240
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think just head coach and why it all

1915
01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:16,519
Speaker 13: starts with just you know, communication amongst your staff players,

1916
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 13: like being on the say, I can think back to

1917
01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:22,479
Speaker 13: our first you know, two games, just how crazy it

1918
01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 13: was on the sideline and his sets. It's like so

1919
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:28,760
Speaker 13: many people barking and things like WHOA, I gotta make

1920
01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:31,320
Speaker 13: sure I really all in. So after that second game

1921
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:33,960
Speaker 13: was able to real it all in, Hey, we only

1922
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:36,400
Speaker 13: need to hear this, this and this on it. So

1923
01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:39,200
Speaker 13: it just calmed everybody down, allowed me to make like

1924
01:32:39,320 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 13: clear decisions in that moment critical games, like you have

1925
01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:45,080
Speaker 13: to put the team again in the best boy to

1926
01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:47,720
Speaker 13: win games. I felt like I grew in that in

1927
01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:50,960
Speaker 13: that light when it comes to just communication on the sideline,

1928
01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:53,920
Speaker 13: his sets, game management type of things, and then.

1929
01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:56,759
Speaker 10: Just as overall right as a head coach, I always

1930
01:32:56,760 --> 01:32:57,160
Speaker 10: look at it.

1931
01:32:57,200 --> 01:32:59,680
Speaker 13: Man, how can I continue to serve our guys and

1932
01:32:59,720 --> 01:33:02,679
Speaker 13: help guys and make sure like we're doing the best

1933
01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:05,559
Speaker 13: thing possible putting our guys in the best position possible

1934
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:09,840
Speaker 13: right to play their best Like are we we doing

1935
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:11,200
Speaker 13: things right schematically?

1936

Speaker 10: And thank you all for me?

1937
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:16,000

01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:19,120
Speaker 3: Get better?

1940
01:33:19,240 --> 01:33:21,679
Speaker 10: How can we evolve? Because you never stay the same?

1941
01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:22,200

Speaker 13: lot of respects, but also, man, there's a ton of

1944
01:33:28,479 --> 01:33:31,160
Speaker 13: things we can get better. And when it comes to schematically,

1945
01:33:31,200 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 13: it comes to executing right, playing cleaner, we can get

1946
01:33:34,200 --> 01:33:35,240
