1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,960 Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody. Welcome in to your Monday edition 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: of Texans All Access. I'm your host, John Harris, Football 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: and all the sideline reporter, so glad to be with you. 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 1: We are going to catch up with Andre where and 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: take a very quick two minute trip through the NFL 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: this weekend a little bit later in the show, but 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: there's news in the AFC South and for that I 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: bring in my man Mark Vandimer. All right, Mark, some 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: crazy news coming out of Indianapolis. Maybe not so much 10 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: that Frank Reich was fired today, but what they did 11 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: afterwards with Jeff Saturday, former center for Peyton Manning and 12 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: the Colts now stepping is as interim head coach. We 13 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: do this on Monday sometimes because there's always crazy stuff 14 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: happening over the weekend. Your gut reaction to what's happened 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. So many questions, Johnny. One question is did 16 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: Ers call Peyton Manning and ask him if he wants 17 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: to take it for the rest of the year. Oh boy, 18 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: that's what I want to know. Did that If he 19 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: asked Saturday? I bet he started with Peyton. Was there 20 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: anybody else other than Saturday who he considered for this, 21 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne is coaching with them, right, Yeah, so he's 22 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: already there. And if I'm Reggie Wayne, I'm thinking, well, 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: why didn't you ask me? You know, Wasn't I as 24 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: as important as Saturday to this whole operation? But I 25 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: guess he has his reasons right, And doesn't it feel 26 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: like an ursay thing much more than a Chris Ballard? Oh, 27 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: this is an ursay thing. Absolutely, I would. I would 28 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 1: bet every dime I have that that was not an 29 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: idea considered by Chris Ballard, not at all ways, Ballard, 30 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: let me go get a broadcaster. Jeff Saturday is a 31 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: decorated player. I get it. He was an awesome center 32 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: for Peyton Manning. But really, yeah, I don't That part 33 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: of it is kind of mind blowing. But it's a 34 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: Jim Rsay thing. This is not a Chris Ballard thing. 35 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: And I know what's going to happen, and I'll stick 36 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: up for Ballard on this one. I know it's going 37 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: to happen. I know the media. Chris Bellard. No, Chris 38 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: Baller did not make this decision. This is one of 39 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: those where there is no debate who made this decision. 40 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: It was a Jim Mercy decision all the way. Well, 41 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: Lovey's right because we talked to love Smith about it 42 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: and he didn't say it directly, but he said, when 43 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: you fire a coach at this time of year, you know, 44 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: maybe you think, well, you signed him up for the season, right, 45 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: And I feel that way. Look, this is the Colts, Johnny. 46 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: You know how I feel about the Colts course as 47 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: well documented how I feel about the Colts course. But 48 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: even I'm sitting here thinking, why didn't you just let 49 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: them finish it out? Is it that bad? Is there 50 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: a mutiny? Are they that's the thing? Yeah, not mutiny, 51 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: But have they given up on Reich? Has have the 52 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: players just tuned them out? And maybe that's happened. Maybe 53 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: that has definitely occurred. I don't know, but that's up 54 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: to them to find to decide and find out and 55 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: make a decision based on the information they get. And 56 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 1: maybe maybe Ballard did know something and maybe they talked 57 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: about it together. I don't know. We don't know what's 58 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: happening hind closed doors there, but it is weird that 59 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: had happened this early to me. I know they're not 60 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: having a good season at all, but they don't have 61 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: a quarterback the Matt ryanthing melted down very quickly. And 62 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: now what are they supposed to do? Wouldn't Nick Foles 63 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: have steadied the ship a little bit better? That's the 64 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: one I'm trying to figure out. That's the one that 65 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: is kind of doghead turn, Like, wait, nick Foles on 66 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: the roster. Why didn't he get a shot? Had Ellinger 67 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: come out and played like Taylor Heineke or something, you'd say, 68 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: all right, I get it. They knew about Ellinger. He 69 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: was doing well in practice. Look, team, he was really 70 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: performing well, and they figured give him a shot. Okay, 71 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: but when they said he started the rest of the games, 72 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: actually not. But and when they said he was starting 73 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: the rest of the games, I thought, yeah, maybe it 74 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: is that maybe they really feel like they've got a 75 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: diamond in the rough potentially, and they want to have 76 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: a look at him, a long look. That's why they 77 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: said he's getting the rest of the games instead of 78 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: going out and getting another veteran or starting Nick Foles. Okay, 79 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: you're ready for this. I'm ready. I mean, playing box 80 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: score here on this one is just awesome. Yea. So 81 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: the Patriots played to Colchesterday Colts ran for seventy eight yards. Yeah, 82 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: that's not them. Sam Ellier ran for thirty nine of those. Yeah, 83 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: that's really not them. So Dion Jackson's long run five yards, 84 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: Jordan Wilkins long run five yards, Philip Lindsay two yards, 85 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: and Paris Campbell had a run for a yard. They 86 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: had seventeen carries for thirty nine yards from their running backs. 87 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: Non quarterback. Sam Ellinger was sacked Ferris Bueller nine times, which, 88 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: by the way, I got a text from my wife 89 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: out in Los Angeles. She lives across or they live. 90 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: My daughter lives where they're living right now. They live 91 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: across from Cameron from Ferris Bueller, Alan Rues. Yes, And 92 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: guess who my wife met had a long conversation with 93 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: on Sunday, Alan Ruck, Alan Ruck, Yeah, Alan Ruck, Yeah, 94 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: I mean Allan. It doesn't matter. Everyone knows him as 95 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: Ferris's buddy who had lost the car. Yeah, through the window, 96 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: and they know him from succession to HBO, which is 97 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: a good show. Yep. So nine times Ellinger sacked. In fact, 98 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: he was sacked a total of sixty yards. Now I know, 99 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: I know, sixty yards goes on the passing total, the net, 100 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: the net passing total, so net passing yards forty three. 101 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: Oh see, that's the big problem. Even Matt Ryan in 102 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: that game. I know the Patriots are coming after him 103 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: while he's throwing picks. Matt Ryan's done. He's gotta be done, right, 104 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: gotta be gotta be. I don't think they put him 105 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: back so bad for Frank Ryan, I don't know. So 106 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: here the receivers, Jordan Wilkins four catches fifteen yards, Michael 107 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: Pittman three catches twenty two yards, Paris Campbell two for fifteen, 108 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: Dean Jackson two for thirteen, Moley Cocks two for thirteen. 109 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: They're long was Alec Pierce had one for twenty three? 110 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: So they caught the ball fifteen times. No one longer 111 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: than twenty three. All right, so you play general manager 112 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: for me in the DeLorean. Right now, let's go back 113 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: to twenty nineteen. You ride out the season with Jacobe Briseid, right, 114 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: because you have to Love retires in the preseason. You 115 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: have no choice. You get through that campaign. Yep, here 116 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: you are. It's the twenty twenty offseason. I know it's 117 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: the pandemic, but we were all at the combine together. 118 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: What is your planet quarterback? If you're mister Indianapolis Colts 119 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: GM knowing what is about to happen. Yeah, you get 120 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers for a year, congratulations. But after that it's 121 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: shaky at best. You had three quarterbacks that are turning 122 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: out to be very, very good in that draft. You 123 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: had Burrow, Joe Burrow, you had too a tongue of Baloa, 124 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: and you had Justin Herbert. Now you would have had 125 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: to have gotten into the top seven to do that. 126 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: But what did the Colts do. The Colts traded that 127 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: first round pick in twenty twenty. They got to Forest 128 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: Buckner back in that trade, but they were sitting at 129 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: number thirteen. It probably would have behooved them to package 130 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: that maybe the next year's won and move up and 131 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: go get one of those three guys. Because could you 132 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: imagine Tua, Burrow or Herbert in Indiana. I don't want to. 133 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to, especially I don't either Herbert. Oh 134 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: my gosh, that would have been an absolute nightmare. Now, 135 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: things got pretty desperate in Indianapolis. The fact that they 136 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: went out and actually I don't know if they were 137 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: saying to Andrew luck, Hey, please come back, please come back. 138 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: I think maybe it was just an investigative call. But 139 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: apparently they did reach out to him this at some point, yeah, 140 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: to see if he would he would eventually come back. 141 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: Which I go back to Philip door Set what he 142 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: said about Andrew Luck and what he told us, and 143 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: that was, I don't think it's completely done. I'm like, what, No, 144 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: he needs to be completely done now. I don't know 145 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: contractually all that kind of stuff. I don't think Andrew 146 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: Luck would would come back. But here's the last kicker 147 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: for the Colts. What's been well through the first six games, 148 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: it was our bugaboo. We couldn't do anything one not 149 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: first down, not second down, but third down. The Colts 150 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: were zero zero point zero for fourteen on third down 151 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: against the Patriots. Against the Patriots, well, look it's the fourteen. 152 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, the master of ceremonies on defense because he's 153 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: still the greatest defensive coordinator of all time, and he 154 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: looked at Ellinger, he looked at the Colts offensive line, 155 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: and he said, they're not getting anything. Essentially, Ellinger is 156 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: a rookie. Essentially. Sure when he faced the rookie in 157 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: this building last year, that rookie sliced him up. Davis 158 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: Mills went to work on him so well that you 159 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: know what, that was a really fine day for a while. 160 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: It really was for a while against that team. Was 161 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: you're right, but Davis Mills is better than Ellinger. Yeah, 162 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: he's no doubt. Yeah, and absolutely, you know, I know 163 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: Davis is not having a good year this year. In fact, 164 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: you look at the numbers versus last year, it's just 165 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: not happening for him this year overall. But still last 166 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: year we saw what he did against the New England Patriots. 167 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: I ultimately, at the end of the game, the Patriots 168 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: won that one, and they will win more often than 169 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: not against an inexperienced quarterback. I mean most teams will, 170 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: but especially Bill Belichick. I'm now curious, I mean super 171 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: curious to see how this coaching hire goes Indianapolis. Yeah, well, well, 172 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: here's the thing. They're gonna be after a quarterback and 173 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna be after a coach, And you're right, it 174 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: is well worth watching because they still have a lot 175 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: of talent on that team. They come back next year 176 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: with a lot of the same talented guys. They had 177 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: a coach and a quarterback, and I don't know who 178 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: the coach is going to be because I can't even 179 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: tell you the hot candidates right now. Where are they? 180 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, you look around Gannon with the Eagles, 181 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: who the Texans interviewed. He'll probably get a job next year. 182 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: Scenario for you, are you set down ready for this own? 183 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: Are you gonna go Alabama offensive coordinator to Indianapolis? Doesn't 184 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: He don't have to know what's going there. Wait a minute, 185 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: he and Ballard like each other. There's some kind of 186 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: king to each other. Yeah, they've known each other. We go. 187 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: I don't think it would happen. It's not gonna happen. 188 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: I mean, because I think Indianapolis is gonna have to 189 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: tank all the way the rest of the year. Oh 190 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: you're talking. You're talking about the quarterback coach Combo. Yeah 191 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: do you think that? Well, listen, far be it from 192 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: me to be an Alabama or SEC expert. But but 193 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: what I'm seeing with O'Brien coach in the offense and Bryce, 194 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: I'm not exactly humming along. I'm with you, I agree totally. 195 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: But in this league it's not what I say. It's 196 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: not show friends, it's show business. Well, in this league, 197 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: it's not about win friends, it's about win business and 198 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: whatever gets you two wins, you put that aside. Think 199 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: about Gary Kubiak, I don't Maybe maybe Gary knew Wade Phillips. 200 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, but from the outside looking in, it 201 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: felt like that was something that was either suggested to 202 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: Gary or done and said, Gary, here, Wade Phillips needs 203 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: to be your defense. I don't know. So I don't 204 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 1: know how those two felt about each other, what they 205 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: knew about each other, but they found a way to 206 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: work together and make some magic, especially in twenty eleven. 207 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: Before the last game of the regular season. In twenty ten, 208 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: a lot of people thought Gary was gonna get fired. 209 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: Wednesday practice at the bubble Bumm. Phillips is there with 210 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: Dan Pasttorini, and I thought, okay, Wade Phillips is coming 211 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: real ready, Oh yeah, as soon as I saw those 212 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: two had practiced the final week of the regular season, 213 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: a year in which ten of twenty ten the Texans 214 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: were having a bad year after having their first winning season. 215 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: We all know the defense, blah blah blah. But there 216 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: they were, and I thought, Wade's coming. Get ready. Buckle up. 217 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: The fact that the that the Phillips Brigade and the 218 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: mcnairs had bonded and they were having lunch in the 219 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: cafeteria afterwards, and I, you know, past Storini's there, but 220 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: they had not know that. That's fantastic. A year later, 221 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: they're in the playoffs and bum Phillips is walking out 222 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: of the tunnel. That was the game that made perfect sense, 223 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: A great moment, perfect but point being, you find what 224 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: makes you win. Now. I don't think the Colts are 225 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: gonna look at and go, you know what we're missing, 226 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: you know where we're missing that. No, I don't think 227 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 1: they're gonna I don't think they're gonna get to that situation. 228 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: But I am curious how Kevin O'Connell's success with the 229 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings place into coaching hires and think about, I 230 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: know you're running out of guy, you're running out of 231 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: guys on that McVeigh tree. Kind of pretty soon they're 232 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: gonna be getting the ball boy from the Rams of 233 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, like, oh, you you've been around 234 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: these guys, your head coach, come on, come on, Sean 235 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,599 Speaker 1: is off that tree right now. With the way the 236 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: Rams are playing and the way McVeigh got it handed 237 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: to him against the Bucks, I mean that offense is 238 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: really not doing much. However, I still think Sean McVay 239 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: is a fantastic football coach. Not saying that McVay is 240 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: the answer, but I'm I'm very curious how this one goes. 241 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: There's also a coach, Oh, this would be interesting. There's 242 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: also a coach that is in TV right now that 243 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: is a hot commodity, and a lot of people thought 244 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: you would go to Dallas who used to be with 245 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: the Saints. Yeah, I think he's going to Dallas if anywhere. 246 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: I thinks after Dallas flames out in the playoffs, I 247 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 1: think he could be an opening. I think he can 248 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: wait it out too and wait for that to happen, 249 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: because I think that will happen eventually. Would you go 250 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: to India if you're Sean Payton, No way, no way 251 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: going to Indianapolis before unless you know, unless you know 252 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: I'm able to bring this quarterback with me, or I'm 253 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: getting this quarterback to Wig, there's no shot. He wants 254 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: full control, and I would imagine Ballard does too. That's 255 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: a that's a different ballgame. Al he's not even going 256 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: to Dallas unless he tells Jerry Listen. Remember Bill Parcels 257 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: and the kind of control you gave him the shop 258 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: for the groceries. I want the same thing. And it 259 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: worked out great with Parcels because he went five and 260 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: then you went to the well. Parcels turned that team 261 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: into our relevant team again. Yeah, I know, I mean 262 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: from that same point. Yeah, but it was not going 263 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: to be a long That was not gonna be a 264 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: long relationship. That was a microwave relationship about that. That 265 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: was not a Belichick Patriots slow crockpot relationship. You know 266 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: what I mean? You know what I love about Parcels, Zoe. 267 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: He goes to Miami and doesn't coach, He just runs it. Yeah, 268 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: and they win. Yeah, he turns them into a winner. 269 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: He's amazing. But that's not gonna happen. I mean, I 270 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: don't mind dysfunction in THEFC South at all, just hopefully 271 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: it's not us. Well, i'll tell you who's not dysfunctional, 272 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: the Titans, except they can't get their quarterback healthy. Other 273 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: than that, that is a terrific organization that finds a 274 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: way to win games. I know they lost last night. 275 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: I won't go moral victory here, but man, they were 276 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: toe to toe with the Chiefs at their place with 277 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: a with an offense that could move the football through 278 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: the air one iota. Do you have more respect now 279 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: like I do for Ryan Tannehill. I don't think Ryan 280 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: Tannehill is the answer long term for the Titans. I 281 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: think you really maxed out. You've gotten to the ceiling 282 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: of Ryan tannehill skills. However, watching the Leek Willis and 283 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: watching that game last night, I just kept thinking and 284 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: kind of pining for the Titans, like, man if tanne 285 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: was there, I think he would have made this throw. 286 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: I think you would have made this decision. I think 287 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: these things would have been a little bit better. They 288 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: don't have a true receiving throat without trailing Burke's out there. 289 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: I mean, Robert Woods is a great number two. They 290 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: need a true receiving threat and they need Burks to evolve. However, 291 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: I find myself thinking, man if tanne we're out there, 292 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: I think I think they could have put up twenty 293 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: four that would have won that game. Oh yeah, that 294 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: defense played. That defense played its guts out. I mean 295 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: plays they played forever too. I was watching some highlights 296 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: up in my office after what you said earlier this 297 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: morning about Jeffrey Simmons and all those guys being gassed 298 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: and playing ninety plays or whatever on defense. And if 299 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: you watch those end of game toward the end of 300 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: the game offensive highlights for the Chiefs, and just watched 301 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: the Titans defenders, they are out of Jews. Yeah, they 302 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: had nothing left and I blame them. They were out 303 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: there way way too long. Of Rabel knows that. But 304 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: to answer your question, look, I have respect for Ryan Tannehill, 305 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: but Sam Malik Willis does make me appreciate him more. 306 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: If I'm a Titans fan, necessarily, right, put another quarterback 307 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: in there who's good, because Malik Willis just isn't ready 308 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: to go. He's not prepared to play in this league. 309 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: He's done right, Banana right now, Just give a time, 310 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: right and maybe it doesn't happen, but maybe it does. 311 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: Maybe it goes right to Brown. You ever those green 312 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: bananas and the next day there Brown, you're thinking, where 313 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: was the good part? Yeah, he's gotta ripe in a 314 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: little bit. But I think he's got He'll show you, 315 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: Like like I said before, I said many times about him, 316 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: he'll show flashes like the throw he made to Hooper 317 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: going right to left, brilliant throw. But he couldn't get 318 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: back to that. He just couldn't get back to that 319 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: at that part in the game at all. And then 320 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: she said the ball for the rest of this thinking game. 321 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: And it wasn't like they dominated on the ground. It 322 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: was Mahomes throwing it well for the most part running it. Yeah, 323 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: that he made some big plays with his legs last 324 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: night and that was a huge factor. Okay, I thought 325 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: there was something that No, I was not listening to 326 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: the game but had it on. But they I knew 327 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: what they were showing. They showed a couple of highlights 328 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: of the Titans rushing from the edge. Yeah, and Mahome's 329 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: getting up and out of the pocket, and they did it. 330 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: The Titans did it two or three times. I wouldn't 331 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: be surprised if that was the Titans m to force 332 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: him one way and then play coverage because essentially, once 333 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: he gets out of the pocket, it's half field, right, 334 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: you take away the other half of the field because 335 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: now he's on that half, he's scrambled out. I wouldn't 336 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: be surprised if that was that was that was a 337 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: ploy that side, get him over to one side, and 338 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: now he's just on one side of the field and 339 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: then you just push your coverage all to that side 340 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: better if somebody chasing after him. No, I know, I mean, 341 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: I understand it. I mean, but I think that's not 342 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: a bad plan against mobile quarterbacks. Invite the in and 343 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: the out and then move your coverage all that way 344 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: and then pursue over to him. And I think they 345 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: did a pretty good job with it. But I didn't 346 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: hear what Collinsworth was saying. My guest was Collinsworth was 347 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: trying to say, Hey, the Titans are letting this happened, 348 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: and they can't let that happened. I think the Titans 349 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: were doing a purpose because they pushed Mahomes towards the side. 350 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: It's not a bad it's not a bad m to 351 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: think about against mobile quarterbacks is to push him to 352 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,239 Speaker 1: one side of the field and then roll all your 353 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: coverage over there. I didn't hear what he said, so 354 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: he may have been saying exactly what I am. But 355 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: that's what I would do against him if I and 356 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: we It felt like we were doing that against him 357 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: in the divisional playoff round. But I don't know that 358 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: we were doing on purpose. I don't think we're doing 359 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: on purpose. I feel like Fable last night, I think 360 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: that I felt like that defensive design was my purpose. 361 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: But man, heads off to the Titans for that. And 362 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: you know me, I can't stand at that group. I 363 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: cannot stand that till just and Vrabel can drive me 364 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: crazy at times. But man, the way they played last night, 365 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: that defense in particular, Holy, I hate it that they 366 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 1: have seized control of this division. Not that I want 367 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: to see up there. I'd rather see the Texans up there, 368 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: but hey, the Jags one yesterday, how about that? Yeah? 369 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: But the Raiders are just I look back at that 370 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: game in Vegas and I think they look so different 371 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: than they do in almost every other game I see them. 372 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: That's three seventeen point leads blown blown for them by 373 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: the Raiders this year. This year, three seventeen point leads blown. 374 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: So unbelievable. Mark, Thank you very much, Thanks SNY.

So oh, that's what hard song to 406 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: understand because I don't know what was being consumed at 407 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: the time when they made it.

It has a place for me. It 427 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: mellows me out. And I'm not talking about modern day 428 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: country music.

All right, So, Dre, 437 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: before we talk all the pigskin, all the gridiron stuff, 438 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: your thoughts and what you saw on the Diamond Saturday 439 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: night with the Astros winning the championship, just extremely impressive 440 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: in the manner in which they they've played all season long, 441 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: and especially to close out the Phillies. But the one 442 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: thing I think that I get out of this, or 443 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: the one thing that's more sentimental to me, was just 444 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: Dusty winning his first World Series after being involved in 445 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: baseball for so long, manager for twenty five years. Oh, 446 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you could tell when you have a good coach, 447 00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 1: you know, by how the players respond to him, and 448 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: every one of those guys, to a man, they loved 449 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: Dusty Baker. And that's irreplaceable. Uh, It's it's something in 450 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: the chemistry of a football of a football team, of 451 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: a basketball team, or in this case a baseball team 452 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: that you can't replace it because it's going to win 453 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: games for you at certain times because of your love 454 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: for the manager or the coach. And just to see 455 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: the way it played out and to see the excitement 456 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: they had for him once the game was quinch that's 457 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: priceless in my eyes. I thought, I think that's a 458 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: great point. Andre the initial celebration, the first impulse is 459 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: to celebrate with Dusty. That was the team and the dugout, 460 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: and that was really up. Yeah, he was gonna go 461 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: down from the forefront of everybody's minds at that time. 462 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: It's like, where is he? Where can I you know, 463 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: how can I touch him? How can I congratulate him? 464 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: How can I celebrate with him? It was all about 465 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: Dusty uh And, I mean right after the final out, 466 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: that was to me, that's that story book stuff. Drammat 467 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: both of you. This finished, complete this sentence, fill in 468 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: the blank. The Astros won this World Series because pitching. 469 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: I'd say, pitching and hitting, which is the game. But 470 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying about pitching and clutching. The 471 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: bullpen was outstanding. Pitching. Look at look at look at Pressley, 472 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: look at a brave like look at its sub one face. 473 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: It's crazy. I mean that's it. Yeah, in an arrowware 474 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: you're going you gotta have that to win baseball games. 475 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: But you also got to have the bat working at 476 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: times two and with your on uh and did in 477 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 1: the playoffs, did all basically all season long for this 478 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: team was I mean, it's it was unbelievable. So yeah, 479 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: I mean I would have to say both the pitching 480 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: and then the hitting when they needed it the most, 481 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 1: the hitting showed up. You could the thing about the 482 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: bullpen being so good, which I love and I think 483 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: about this in football too sometimes, especially with the Texas 484 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: being where they are. I want to shrink the game, 485 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: because shrink the game. Can I get to the first 486 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: the end of the first quarter and it's still within distance, Like, Okay, 487 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 1: now I gotta win a forty five minute game, or 488 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: I gonna win a thirty minute game. Now I gonna 489 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: win a fifty minute game. All you had to do 490 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: is win a six inning game. If you could win 491 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: six innings and you got to the seventh with the lead, 492 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: it's done. It's over. And if you could say that 493 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: about your bullpen, you shrunk the game to six innings. 494 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: That's all you had to do. And then if you 495 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: came up with the clutch hit in any of those 496 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: last three innings, you're golden. And that's exactly what they did. 497 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: There are a lot of teams where you want to 498 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: get to their bullpen. With the Astros, if you get 499 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: to their bullpen, it's over. If they have the lead, 500 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: you're dead. You're dead. You're not coming back. And that's 501 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: what happened of the Philadelphia Phillies and everybody else in 502 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: their way. All right, Dre, So the Texans come close 503 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: against the Eagles on Thursday night, another fourth quarter game. 504 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: They're within four, and the fourth quarter it slips away. 505 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts as they're playing all these young guys, 506 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: trying to get them some experience. They're competitive, they're just 507 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: not able to get over the hump. Now. I feel 508 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: like I've said that to you every single week of 509 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 1: the season, other than the Jacksonville game, which they won. 510 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: But that's how it's been. Yeah, you've got them, got 511 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: to figure out a way to close out games or 512 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: to win games. And the reason why I say that, 513 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: and you're like, yeah, no, Joe, but you're you're playing 514 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,959 Speaker 1: as many as ten rookies on the field at certain times, 515 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: on both the offense and the defense, and so you've 516 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: got a lot of guys doing it for the first 517 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: time at a speed in which they're not used to. 518 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: And so that's why games are getting, you know, getting 519 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: away from them. Later you're within four and then all 520 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden, by the end of the game, it's 521 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 1: turned into something else. It's you know, you haven't lived 522 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 1: in that that's that speed yet and and how to 523 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: how to play in it for sixty minutes and so 524 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: it's gonna be it's it's a I don't I know, 525 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: they don't want to use the word rebuilding or building 526 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: or whatever it is, anything with that word in it. 527 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: But guys have to build to a point where they 528 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: know how to play within that speed for a certain 529 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: amount of time. And uh, and it's not there yet. 530 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: It's it's impossible when you're playing that many rookies for 531 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: them to know it and know how to close out games. 532 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: Drew asked this question of John McClain earlier. And now 533 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: that we've seen the Eagles up close, I mean we 534 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: saw the Bills last year, and the Bills that made 535 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: some changes, but the Bills really struggled against the Jets. 536 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: And congrats to former Texas assistant Robert Sala getting it 537 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: done with the Jets. Big big rent for them in 538 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: met life. So knowing how this league is, and there's 539 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: a bit of a roller coaster with the Bills. They 540 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: didn't play great in Miami. They were actually oh and 541 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: two in the ANFC East or losses. Their two losses 542 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: are in the ANFC East. If I gave you five bucks, 543 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: because again my budget continues to go down, you get 544 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: to go to Vegas and put it on the Eagles 545 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: or the Bills to win it all? Which team would 546 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: you put it on? Who? After seeing the Eagles up 547 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: close and personal, it makes it tough, and I'm even 548 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: more convinced that it'll probably be a Bill's Eagles Super Bowl. Wow, 549 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: I would still I would still put the put the 550 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: money on the Bills because of just the grittiness of 551 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. How the loss yesterday to the Jets just 552 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: irks him to no end, and he watch what type 553 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,719 Speaker 1: of football he's gonna play going forward. You know, you 554 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: could tell in this in the press conference after the 555 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: game that he couldn't wait. He can't wait to get 556 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: back to work. Most guys are, hey, I got the 557 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,719 Speaker 1: day off. You know I'll get back to it. If 558 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: he can't wait. I guarantee you he's in there today 559 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: looking at the Jets game what he could do to 560 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: get better, and then he'll turn the page on it 561 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: by Wednesday. But it's bothering him and it's a good thing. 562 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: And you know we've talked at length about the depth 563 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: of the Bills. It just goes to show you that 564 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: in the NFL, no matter who it is, you can't 565 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: just roll your helmet out there and think, oh this one, 566 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: we got this one today, because you'll get you'll get 567 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: had at if you take that approach, which is I 568 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: think what happened yesterday with the Bills and the Jets. 569 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: Jets are an amazing story along with the Giants, who 570 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: the Texans will see this coming Sunday. From a standpoint 571 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: that the Jets don't even have their full roster. He's 572 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: got a lot of guys that were out early and 573 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: they're still battling, which tells me there's really really good 574 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: coaching and development going on while the season is happening, 575 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: and so Jets are gonna be They're gonna be around 576 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: for a while because they've got some really good, young, 577 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: talented players that are starting to figure it out in 578 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: a hurry. It's interesting how Salah and Mike McDaniel. McDaniel 579 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: with the Dolphins. They're both doing really well right now. 580 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: Both teams are six and three. McDaniel, I didn't know 581 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: what to make of that higher I don't know if 582 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: that was gonna work or not. And look, it's still early, 583 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: but it's working pretty well so far. And I think 584 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: Ta looks really comfortable with him Andrea. I think they've 585 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: created an environment where Look, he's got all those weapons, 586 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: but mentally it just seems like from afar, seems like 587 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: he's very comfortable. We're gonna see them Thanksgiving weekend in Miami. Yeah, 588 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: you know, when everyone else was ready to jump off 589 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: the two A bandwagon, I was like, wait a minute, Yeah, 590 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: I've seen the guy. How close and personal this kid 591 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: can play and if if he can't play it, then 592 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: you know, play the position. And I just give up 593 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: on it because I know how talented arm talent is, 594 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: how he can throw the football, how accurate to it is, 595 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: how mobile he is, how much he loves the game. 596 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: And you see him out on the field going through 597 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: progressions and plays and stuff himself before hours before a 598 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: game is to take place on a Sunday. The kid 599 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: loves the game. And the thing about what fans have 600 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: to realize about the position a quarterback is that you're 601 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: only as good as what's around you, really, what's in 602 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: front of you. And if you can't protect him, it 603 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: was certainly if you don't have skill position players around 604 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: him that can help him, it doesn't matter how talented 605 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: you are, you're gonna look. The NFL has a way 606 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: of being, you know, just humbling you at that position 607 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: if you don't have the necessary stuff around you. And 608 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: once they put it together around to it and started 609 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: to care a little bit about winning, then you see 610 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: what you really have into it. And so now it 611 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me what he's doing. It's just it surprised 612 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: me that people took the attitude that he could he 613 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: couldn't play or you know, it was all these scenarios, Hey, 614 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: should we should we trade for twah and you know this, 615 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: that and the other. Dang right, you should if if 616 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: you got a chance to get him, because he's a 617 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: hell of a player. And I think everybody's now starting 618 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: to see exactly that. Andre, you hit it at it. 619 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: I don't know that you said exactly what I was 620 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: going to ask you, So I'll ask you this. The 621 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: players around to a Jalen Waddle and Tyre Tyreek Hill 622 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: absolute explosive dynamos. And we know the NFL is a 623 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: copycat league. And the Chiefs felt like that we don't 624 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: need Tyreek Patrick Mahomes will get us where we want 625 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: to go. I think the Chiefs are not as good 626 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: because Tyreek Hill's ability to run away from run over, 627 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: run around, run past is gone, and I think that 628 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: really hurts them. I think we saw that last night 629 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: against the Titans. Do you think teams as and I 630 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 1: don't know that you can do it, but do you 631 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: think teams are gonna try and emulate what they have 632 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: with Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Hill with how easy they 633 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: make the offense look because of how explosive they are. Absolutely, 634 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: and I think Hardeman is who the Chiefs are trying 635 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: to put in that role, uh and use him in 636 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: a Tariq type manner, But I honestly didn't think that 637 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: chemistry wise, that would work out two smaller receivers kind 638 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: of doing the same thing, and you know it was 639 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,800 Speaker 1: it would just kind of get they get washed away 640 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: at times during the game. But you're right, they're so 641 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: explosive that when you just get them the football, look 642 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: out and you can get them the football in space. 643 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 1: And to have two of them that can do that 644 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: is amazing, and so h yeah, I think everybody at 645 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: some points going to try to copycat them. But there's 646 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: one problem. There's only one Tariq and there's only one 647 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: Waddle that you know, the players like that, you're gonna 648 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: you could search in the draft up and down from 649 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: year to year, and you won't get anything even close 650 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 1: to them. So you can try to cop pecat them, 651 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: but I don't. I just don't know because you're talking 652 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,919 Speaker 1: football IQ that these two guys have. You're talking about 653 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: a love and a passion for the game. You might 654 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: get two guys that can run that are similar in 655 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: terms of speed, but the quickness to change the direction, 656 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: and then you pour what I just described the mental 657 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: side into the game. That it's just not a track 658 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,720 Speaker 1: guy out there trying to survive. It's two football players 659 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: that actually love doing the job. That's tough to emulate. 660 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: It is super tough. I just don't think anybody's gonna 661 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: get that close to it. And yes, the Chiefs missed 662 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: it because they're not as dynamic, not as explosive. They 663 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: don't have a guy that constantly can take the top 664 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: off and then I can work the underneath stuff with Kelsey. 665 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: They're getting it done, just in a different manner, kind 666 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: of a patchwork type way. But yeah, they missed Hurry Hill. 667 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. Dre Brady had a moment yesterday. 668 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 1: He came back against the Rams. They got it done. 669 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: It was really thing to see. And I was making 670 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: the point earlier. Just give him a little time. He 671 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,359 Speaker 1: needs a little time instead of this massive rush up 672 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: the middle of whatever he's been facing from time to 673 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: time this year. But he still got it, and then 674 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: a lot of drops yesterday too. I'm just wondering how 675 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: long it's gonna last. Then I look at Aaron Rodgers 676 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,399 Speaker 1: as well. I think when those two guys go, look, 677 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: we got a lot of good young quarterbacks. He got Mahomes, 678 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: he got Lamar Jackson out there. I know somebody's coming 679 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: back in Cleveland. I get that, but it just feels 680 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: like the era will really be over. And it was 681 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: such a good era for quarterbacking and you're just hoping 682 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: the next one is as good. I know it'll be different, 683 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: but you're hoping it's as good. Yeah, I think the 684 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: era of drop back passers are that that windows closing, 685 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,280 Speaker 1: and those are two of the better ones to ever 686 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: And I mean, ever do it Brady and Aaron Rodgers. 687 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 1: When you look who lost to the Lions, by the way, 688 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,280 Speaker 1: I wonder when the last time that actually has happened. 689 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: I have to go back and take a look at that. 690 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,720 Speaker 1: But when you know, I watched some of that Tampa 691 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: game against the Rams, and you know what surprises me 692 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: is the amount of guys on the sideline that are 693 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 1: hurt for Tampa Bay. Yet we're criticizing Brady. I just 694 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: spent five minutes talking about what's important around the quarterback 695 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 1: and if you got if they flash to the sideline 696 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: once and he's got a couple of offensive linemen in 697 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,239 Speaker 1: street clothes, well you know that those are starters that 698 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: would be playing. You've got key skill position players, and 699 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: yet they're finding ways to be competitive and stay in 700 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: games in spite of what's not there. Imagine what Tampa's 701 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: gonna be like if they're able to heal up and 702 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: make a run the second half of the season. Because 703 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: he's still he's still Brady. We've talked about as he done, 704 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: we're ready to throw dirt on him this that day. 705 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a minute. Every time I've heard this conversation, 706 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: the guy comes back the next week and it's like, 707 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 1: oh yeah, let's leave him alone. He is not ready 708 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 1: to go quite yet. And yesterday I think he proved 709 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: it that he's not ready to go. Once they get 710 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: some pieces back, look out, Tampa's gonna be dangerous again. 711 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: You bring up a great point, Dre because last year 712 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:13,760 Speaker 1: in the regular season, the Tampa Bay offensive lineman played 713 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: night the five that you would expect to start started 714 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: ninety percent of the snaps. But when they got to 715 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: when they got to divisional playoff round, that's when Tristan 716 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 1: Worth Scott hurt. And that is what really costs them 717 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 1: against the Rams. You have those pieces. And here's the thing, 718 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: because the NFC South stinks, they just have to get there, yep. 719 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: And they can just muddle their way through it, get 720 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: a few guys healthy near the end of the year, 721 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Oh yeah, by the way, 722 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, when the Bucks won a championship, guess 723 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: where they won their first three playoff games on the road. 724 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: On the road, on the road. Yeah, against God. You 725 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: just have to get them there and good quarterbacks. And 726 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: this plays into my point about the Eagles, because the 727 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 1: Texans did spend a lot of time in that Philadelphia 728 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,240 Speaker 1: backfield on Sunday, and I that's notable when you face 729 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: you know, Vina Vea, some of these other dudes who 730 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: could possibly get there in a playoff situation, that's going 731 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: to be worth monitoring for sure, Dres go ahead. That 732 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,719 Speaker 1: does worry sorry, Mark, when when you look at the 733 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 1: Eagles early in the game, there was a tremendous amount 734 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: of pressure. Jerry Hughes had two sacks against the Eagles 735 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,800 Speaker 1: the other day. And you know, we're talking some teams 736 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: that have got Jerry Hughes plus a couple of more dudes. So, uh, 737 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,399 Speaker 1: that worries me a little bit just how close they 738 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,439 Speaker 1: were getting to to Jalen Hurts in terms of their 739 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 1: ability to navigate through the playoffs. And and uh and 740 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: I actually make a legitimate Super Bowl run. But the 741 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: schedule sets up perfectly for Philadelphia, Howard, That's always some 742 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 1: fun stuff with Andre Ware coming up. Let's go around 743 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 1: in the NFL very quickly, two minute drill style right 744 00:39:55,960 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 1: here on Texas All Access.

They stay hot with 752 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: two a tongue of violo at quarterback. Bengals bounce back. 753 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 1: Maybe the Panthers buy three touchdowns Joe Mixon five tuddies. 754 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,439 Speaker 1: Lions beat the Packers.

Now Josh Allen is hurt. Keep an eye 757 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: on that if he's on your fantasy team.
