00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,839

00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,800

00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 3: Monday night, that's the matchup, first time ever on the

25
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: road in the wild Card round, the Texans up against

26
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: it in Steel City.

27
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: Your thoughts.

28
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 6: Then you get it in prime time and the only

29
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 6: game of the day, so all the eyes are on you.

30
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 6: So this will be a great matchup, a great rating

31
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 6: for the network, and then you know, a good football game.

32
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 7: Pittsburgh has come seems like they've.

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 8: Just turned the corner.

34
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 6: They get dk Metcalf back, so it's going to be

35
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 6: another weapon for Aaron Rodgers. Yes, that Aaron Rodgers. The

36
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 6: running game seems to have come around, So it'll be

37
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 6: a it'll be a challenge for this defense a little bit.

38
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this and Dre stressed it. Aaron Rodgers.

39
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: It was the last time we beat Aaron Rodgers.

40
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: Two thousand and eight. Yep, in Green Bay.

41
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: Worked us in twenty twelve, came up with big plays

42
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,639
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, just toyed with us during the COVID

43
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 1: year and then.

44
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: With the Jets.

45
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: The Jets, he beats us because he dives balls to

46
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: Devonte Adams and Garrett Wilson all night.

47
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: So but DeVonta Adams and Garrett Wilson are play so

48
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: that's good. Okay, So Tray. Here's my stats. What's your

49
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: reaction to it?

50
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: On Mark's reaction to it, six one in one the

51
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: last four years against the Indianapolis Colts, the pendulum has

52
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: swung over to the Texans. Mark said, five and one

53
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: for Tamico Ryans. Obviously they have some issues. But when

54
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: you've taken the nemesis and you've flipped the script, Hey,

55
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: how great is that be?

56
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: How cool is that?

57
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 8: That's pretty cool?

58
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 6: You know, you spend all off season thinking about certain

59
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 6: teams as you're working out and you're getting yourself prepared

60
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 6: for the season and the.

61
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 8: Grind and the long haul of it all.

62
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 6: And you have those those things in mind, and then

63
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 6: you know there's certain teams obviously that you you you

64
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 6: feel a certain way about and just from the standpoint

65
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 6: of wanting to compete against them. Uh, maybe you were

66
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 6: around when they were beating up on you. But most

67
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 6: of these guys don't know that the court you know

68
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 6: how good the Colts were. Uh, they just know that

69
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 6: they own the Colts now, and so that's it's a

70
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 6: good thing. It's it's one of those.

71
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 7: But I think I think the division as a whole

72
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 7: is coming.

73
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 6: Jacksonville obviously with a home game and winning the division

74
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 6: this year. I think Tennessee with cam Ward is they're

75
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 6: on the right track. They start to get some players

76
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 6: around him, and uh, who am I leaving.

77
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: Out the Colts themselves?

78
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then the and then the Colts themselves. I

79
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 6: think their quarterback away, I really do. And you know,

80
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 6: Daniel Jones doesn't blow out as Achilles.

81
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 8: Who knows what we're.

82
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 6: Talking about in terms of you know, maybe they get

83
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 6: in the playoffs as a third team from the AFC South.

84
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 8: Who knows, but it.

85
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 6: Would it would be interesting and with a quarterback, maybe

86
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 6: they win that game last week.

87
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 7: Texans win yesterday and we're the division champions.

88
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 6: So it's it's just a whole you know, everything goes

89
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 6: into the quarterback position. I'm just glad we have it

90
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 6: right and right now.

91
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: Andre.

92
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 3: We could talk about the defense in a moment, but

93
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 3: paint a picture for me, if you will, of the

94
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 3: Houston Texans offense the way you want to see them

95
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: operating with what they have to work with when they

96
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: take on Pittsburgh a week from tonight.

97
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would almost I want to see them challenge

98
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 6: the Steelers. If you sit in the box with the Steelers.

99
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 6: They figure it out pretty quickly. It's a veteran defense.

100
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 6: They've got some guys with a lot of experience, so

101
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 6: they can adjust on the fly and do some things

102
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 6: and get guys lined.

103
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 8: Up and in the right spots in a hurry. So

104
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 8: it's to their advantage.

105
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 6: If you want to play slow, I would go there

106
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 6: and play fast and keep keep personnel that you want

107
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 6: on the field, allow CJ to go two minutes and

108
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 6: you know, open the t up a little bit, uh

109
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 6: and let him play comfortably and uh and just go

110
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 6: run plays and not thinking I may do it early

111
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 6: just to get him in you know, uh, foundationally stable

112
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 6: in the game where where he's just ripping and raring

113
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 6: to go, and he's playing that way. But if you

114
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 6: just it's they just want to play slow and methodical

115
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 6: and that's just their their game, and so you you're

116
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 6: playing into their hands if you do it that way.

117
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: Drey As the Ravens are taking on the Steelers last night,

118
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: and that game is going back and forth. I mean

119
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: it is pingponging all over the place. I told yeah,

120
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: incredible game, unbelievable game. I told Mark that it wasn't

121
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: so much. I didn't want to see like either team,

122
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: it was I didn't want to see one player and

123
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: that was Lamar Jackson, because as healthy as he could

124
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: possibly be at this point, he was making plays like

125
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: the magician that Lamar Jackson is. As you were watching

126
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: the game kind of how were you thinking about the

127
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: Ravens versus the Steelers or were you thinking about it

128
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: as you know there's a certain guy to want to face. Look,

129
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm not happy about facing Aaron Rodgers, but I would

130
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: have rather not faced Lamar Jackson. So okay, we'll take

131
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: Rogers because I was afraid that Lamar Jackson in Baltimore

132
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: would do some of this, some of the same magician

133
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: stuff that he's always done against the Texans.

134
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he's still in a you know, one week better,

135
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 6: so you're getting him with, you know, a little bit

136
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 6: healthier Lamar one more week removed from the back injury.

137
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 6: But yeah, and then you throw Dereck Henry.

138
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 8: Into that mix. Yeah as well.

139
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 6: Don't want to see him, and Zay Flowers don't want

140
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 6: to see him at the tight end all of it,

141
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 6: and so, but I do want to see their defense,

142
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 6: and so I think, and you know, when you analyze

143
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 6: it and you start to measure who'd you rather play?

144
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 8: That defense is to hell, and so I.

145
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 6: Would love to play play the Ravens over the Steelers

146
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 6: for that reason and that reason alone. They've got a

147
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 6: tremendous amount of injuries. It's almost like when we went there,

148
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 6: you know, how many guys there's maybe more guys than

149
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 6: when we went there that were out in that in

150
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 6: that game. So that's the team I would have preferred.

151
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 6: But you get what you get, and you get ready

152
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 6: to go play, and uh, we just get to call it.

153
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 6: We don't have to suit up and hit anybody or

154
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 6: throw any passes.

155
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: Well, and it's a good thing too, by the way,

156
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: what Yeah, we don't have to suit up hit anybody

157
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: or to pass.

158
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: That's a good thing. We're in the right roles.

159
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: It's funny with Derek Henry because it felt like, yeah,

160
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: you can keep them contained. It's not much of a

161
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 3: factor anymore. One hundred and twenty six yards on twenty carries.

162
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 8: I mean, it's.

163
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: Funny how Henry. It's like one of those basketball players. Yeah,

164
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: quiet night at thirty right, It just you know, I

165
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: got a few here at the line, a couple of threes,

166
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: a few other buckets.

167
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, it's thirty. That's Derrick Henry.

168
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 6: And that's Pittsburgh's selling out to stop him. I mean,

169
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 6: they went five man front the whole night just to

170
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 6: make sure that they had eyes on Derrick Henry at

171
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 6: all times. And he still goes for one twenty six

172
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 6: And I think it's screwed up there.

173
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 8: It's crazy how good he is.

174
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,119
Speaker 1: And I think its screwed up their secondary too, because

175
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: they had to play all that base stuff. They didn't

176
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: know how to react when the Ravens started switching routes

177
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: and crossing the field. I feel like the secondary was

178
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: all screwed up. Jaylon Ramsey didn't look like he knew

179
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: what he was doing all night long.

180
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: That's the thing, Tray.

181
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: Now, the Texans clearly do not have Derrick Henry, but

182
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 3: the Steelers had some busts in the second time God Big.

183
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 8: One Daylon Ramsey.

184
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 6: I mean, on the several occasions, you know, he's the

185
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 6: guy looking back and you feel like he's responsible as

186
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 6: the guy that busted the coverage and allowed for big

187
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 6: plays or even touchdowns late in the game.

188
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 8: So yeah, sign me up for that. Let's go. Yeah.

189
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 3: Look the texts have a different out of attack, but

190
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: maybe there are some things there you can take advantage of. Drey,

191
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: how much does it help that the Texans have been

192
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 3: on the road in the playoffs before with a lot

193
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: of these guys. Now, they didn't win Ravens two years ago,

194
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: they're tied ten to ten and a half Chiefs. Last year,

195
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 3: it's a pretty close game, but they don't win it.

196
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: But they beat the Chiefs in cold weather a few

197
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 3: weeks ago, and they've been on the road in the

198
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: playoffs and now you have a quarterback making his fifth

199
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: playoffs start in that environment. Look, they haven't been exactly

200
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: here before, but I feel like there's some experience to

201
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 3: draw from and maybe they can take advantage of it.

202
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 6: Your thoughts, Yeah, it's a tough place to go play,

203
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 6: that's for sure, and so you know you're going to

204
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 6: draw from any experience that you've had, how to prepare

205
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 6: for a cold weather game, all the way down to

206
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 6: let's just go.

207
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 8: Play and all of it.

208
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 6: Everything in between matters, because it does start to get

209
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 6: to you if you're not getting a lot of reps,

210
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,599
Speaker 6: or even if you are, the cold just seems to

211
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 6: do crazy things to you mentally and it's another element

212
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 6: of the game that you have to fight, and that's

213
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 6: quite honest. But you know, I think they'll be fine.

214
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 6: You mentioned the Kansas City game. It's chilly there after

215
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 6: a while, and you kick the ball off, it just

216
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 6: becomes a game. If you're moving around and you can

217
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 6: find a way to stay warm. You get the heated

218
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 6: benches and all that stuff. So I think from that standpoint,

219
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 6: they'll be fine. It's just getting used to, you know,

220
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 6: some things like you know, the field being harder because

221
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 6: of it. It's because it's cold. The ball's a little

222
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 6: harder because it's cold, and they'll be used to those

223
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 6: things and actually practicing in the elements of it all.

224
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 6: And the Texans are just gonna have to find a

225
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 6: way to simulate it when you get there. And hopefully

226
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 6: this week it'll get a little chilly here, but not

227
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 6: anything like what.

228
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 7: We're gonna face when you get to Pittsburgh.

229
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: Okay, Pittsburgh weather on Monday daytime high thirty four degrees,

230
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: it's a scorcher, yeah, and at night twenty seven degrees,

231
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 3: low wins though southwest five to ten.

232
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: You know that sounds like what sunny and arrowhead.

233
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I know you could have your heater

234
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: up in the press box.

235
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: Many What what is the game plan here, because you've

236
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: been known to bring a space heater with you.

237
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: Is it gonna happen again?

238
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 8: I think it's gonna happen again.

239
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 6: I'm gonna have a special bag just for the space

240
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 6: heater and cram everything in there with it.

241
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 7: But it's going on this trip, that's for sure.

242
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: And what about Look, I remember hand warmers.

243
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know electric handwarmers that you can charge up

244
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 6: and recharge.

245
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 3: Oh power, You could plug in an electric blanket.

246
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 2: You know, you could do a lot of things.

247
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 8: Yeah.

248
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: You know who.

249
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 2: Doesn't have that good idea? That's a great idea, Trey electric.

250
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 8: It might even be better than the heater.

251
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: That's a that's a great idea. Just giving him a

252
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: great idea, easier to pack, Dray.

253
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know who doesn't have that?

254
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 9: Me?

255
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 8: Yeah?

256
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 3: Well sorry, Johnny, I mean, but you're gonna have to

257
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: suit up, man, Johnny.

Speaker 8: Uh to order.

Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotta get operated.

00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 6: get some hunting gear investment, just just for this week.

265
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, who knows and knows where we're going after

266
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 6: this week, So it's gonna be maybe cold aft everywhere

267
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 6: if we don't get a home game.

268
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: True, and it goes on Mark's budget too, So what

269
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: there's that right there? You go, Okay, this for both

270
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: you guys. All right, there's six games this weekend. Six games.

271
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: I want you to tell me the most intriguing in

272
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: the NFC and the most take the Texans out of it,

273
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: take the Texas out of it.

274
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: So two in the a f C.

275
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: Three in the NFC you got Packers at Bears, you

276
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: got Niners at Eagles, you got Rams at Panthers, Chargers

277
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: at Patriots, Bills at Jaguars. Which is the most intriguing

278
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: playoff game? Which game? I mean, we'll watch them all

279
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: because that's us. We're sick that way, But which one

280
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: you look at and go, you know what, I really

281
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: this one intrigues me more than any other game.

282
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: NFCFC.

283
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: Just give me the one you're most intrigued with, Dreight, Mark,

284
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: you go second.

285
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 8: Bill's Jaguars.

286
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was mine, because that's mine.

287
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 6: I don't really know what the Bills are. They've just

288
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 6: found a way to win. And I think a lot

289
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 6: of it goes through Josh Allen, quite honestly, and he

290
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 6: can just will the entire team, not just the offense,

291
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 6: but his play affects the entire team. They're not as

292
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,239
Speaker 6: talented on offense, and they're on the road going to Jacksonville,

293
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 6: and I'm wondering if just the mental side of having

294
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 6: to play the Bills will be enough for the Bills

295
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 6: to overcome anything Jacksonville can do, because you know, you

296
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 6: got to be thinking, that's a tough draw for them

297
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 6: after winning the division. That's a hell of a draw

298
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 6: for Jacksonville. So can they get over the fact that

299
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 6: that's who they got in the first round? They're coming

300
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 6: to Jacksonville, and Jacksonville can play its best because I

301
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 6: think you know, on paper, every you go down the line,

302
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 6: at every position, I think I would choose Jacksonville as

303
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 6: the better team on paper.

304
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 8: But you got to go out and play.

305
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 6: And then there's some different stuff that Josh Allen brings

306
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 6: and he wills his team to wins and all of it.

307
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 8: He has an effect that permeage.

308
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 6: Through the entire team, and I wouldn't be surprised at

309
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 6: all if Buffalo went to Jacksonville and knocked them off

310
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 6: in the first round.

311
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: I am very surprised that they put the Chargers at

312
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 3: the Patriots in the Sunday night slot.

313
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 2: That is the primo slot, and I'm just shocked.

314
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 3: I thought they would put the forty nine Ers and

315
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 3: Eagles there, or the Bears and Packers. Now the Bears

316
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 3: and Packers of Saturday night primetime. That's a huge game,

317
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 3: and that's very appealing from a national perspective.

318
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: I get it, But it's the.

319
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 3: Bills and Jaguars for me, because those are our guys, right.

320
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 3: It's the division, it's the Jags, it's the Bills. We've

321
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 3: seen them a lot. They feel like a de facto

322
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 3: division opponent as much as you played them in recent years.

323
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 3: So here you go. And if the Bills pull off

324
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 3: the upset, and if the Chargers pull off the upset

325
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: and h the Bills are favored actually at Jacksonville.

326
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: But you know what I'm saying, if they win as

327
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: the road team.

328
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: And the Texans win, then you're a home the next

329
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 3: weekend against the Buffalo Bills. It is right out there

330
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 3: for you, and it will be guaranteed to be a

331
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 3: Sunday game because you're playing Monday night. So the winner

332
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: of that one is automatically funneled into a Sunday slot.

333
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: That is very cool stuff, Drey.

334
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: Let's shift gears for a moment here, because we had

335
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 3: a great Kinders Texas Bowl and the yeah Cooks.

336
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 8: Indeed go Koogs this morning, baby talk. Oh yeah, fucking

337
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 8: Cooks this morning.

338
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 6: After beating on beating on that other uh, that other Fenine,

339
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 6: the other cat from LSU.

340
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, man, I love that. Yeah.

341
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: And well, how about the hoops team beating on the

342
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 3: bear Cats this weekend?

343
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, they were damned for a week for the

344
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 8: cos a week for.

345
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 3: The So tell me this though, because and there are

346
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 3: a lot of different directions we can take. I don't

347
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: want this to be a whole what's wrong with college

348
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 3: athletics thing, but it just bothers the daylights out of me,

349
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin. Oh, I can't possibly win here long term.

350
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 3: And meanwhile they're winning. And you know what, I won't

351
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: be shocked if you're not in the playoff next year.

352
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 3: You know, Well, I'm giving you my assistance. Well, so

353
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 3: what so what and that whole dynamic of are they

354
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: going to be able to coach pass Round one or

355
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 3: whatever round was last week?

356
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 2: Really? Really are we going to go through this?

357
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 8: Uh?

358
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 3: But your thoughts on Ole Miss and the Canes getting together,

359
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 3: and it's just so great that Bama, Ohio, State, Georgia,

360
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: they're all out, get them out, get this new blood

361
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 3: in here.

362
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 6: It's kind of love. I love the fact that it's

363
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 6: new blood. I was talking with somebody about that the

364
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 6: other day. There's so many new teams that are still

365
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 6: involved or involved in the playoffs that you start rooting

366
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 6: for underdogs and things of that sort.

367
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 8: But it's just been fun and.

368
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 6: Overall, you know, a good college season that continues. The

369
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 6: Canes are one hell of a story. I mean it's

370
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 6: a hell of a story. The Coog's winning ten games

371
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 6: this year in the second year of Willie Fritz as

372
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 6: as it's outstanding, and they're only gonna build so Coogs,

373
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 6: don't don't don't panic about who goes into the portal and.

374
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 8: And this, that and the other.

375
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 6: I have faith in Willie Fritz and he will build it,

376
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 6: and it will be the foundation will hold. Trust me,

377
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 6: It's gonna be one hell of a deal. But in

378
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 6: terms of the transfer portal, I could go on all afternoons,

379
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 6: so I won't. But I cannot tell you how frustrated

380
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 6: I am. I cannot tell you how it's teaching the

381
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 6: wrong thing to youth and giving them an experience that

382
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 6: they're not ready for, a responsibility that they're not ready for,

383
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 6: because parents are involved in this and wanting the money,

384
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 6: the financial aspect of it. There are eighteen thousand kids

385
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 6: that play college football. Forty five hundred of them are

386
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 6: in the portal. That's a quarter of the the kids

387
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 6: that play college football are in the portal. We have starters,

388
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 6: Starters leaving schools to go elsewhere, why and for what?

389
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 8: For one year? I'm leaving to.

390
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 6: Go get a bag or go get paid, or whatever

391
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 6: it is you want to call it, And you're leaving

392
00:18:54,280 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 6: a legacy behind that you know could have potentially affect

393
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 6: to you or help you the rest of your life. Right,

394
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 6: and you just right for for one year of money,

395
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 6: and then you graduate and you go get a job

396
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 6: that's gonna pay you the fifty five thousand dollars or

397
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 6: whatever it is that you're gonna make, and you're like,

398
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 6: what what is this? You know, they're not used, they're

399
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 6: not prepared for that, and so it's it's just ruining

400
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 6: kids and you're doing way more damage then you think

401
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 6: you're gonna you think you're doing as a parent. We

402
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 6: got to get this thing back on track somehow.

403
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,479
Speaker 2: Drey, just give me a quick comment.

404
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 3: Obviously playing locally where you're from helped in this way,

405
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 3: but just being part of the University of Houston community community,

406
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 3: all the contacts, the networking, all of that friendships you've

407
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: built that are still helping you today. And helping might

408
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: be a strong word, but it's all part of the

409
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 3: fabric of it all right. How much has that helped

410
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 3: you being part of that?

411
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's an accurate word, mark and uh, you know,

412
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 6: things all the way down to being able to help

413
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 6: others get jobs and things of that sort and being

414
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 6: a part of a community forever Houston. University of Houston

415
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 6: is home for me. I can say that I can

416
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 6: always go home. You transfer four, five, six, seven, Yes,

417
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 6: that many times people are transferring every year trying to

418
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 6: find where they can get the next dime, and you know,

419
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 6: so on and so forth. There's a kid working on

420
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 6: a seventh school seventh this offseason, I'm anxious to see

421
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 6: who's dumb.

422
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 8: Enough to sign him. But we'll see.

423
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 6: But I can always call the University of Houston home.

424
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 6: I can call there for favors. I love doing favors

425
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 6: and things for them, to help each program or the

426
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 6: university itself as much as I possibly can, and.

427
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 8: The feeling is mutual.

428
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 6: There are a lot of kids that are going to

429
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 6: go through the college experience after all this transferring and all,

430
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 6: and they when it all ins, you have no degree,

431
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 6: you haven't been drafted, you're not playing professional football.

432
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 8: Where the hell are you? What are you going to

433
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 8: do now? Right?

434
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: Okay, how about this?

435
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: So Trinidad Chamberlins for those that aren't aware, he's the

436
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: Old Miss quarterback. He was the quarterback at Farris State

437
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: Mission two champion last year.

438
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 8: Great story, by the way, great.

439
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 2: Great, great story.

440
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: Now he's he has he's looking for a waiver for

441
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: a final year at Old Miss. In fact, he has signed.

442
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: This is the this is the weird part of all this.

443
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: He has signed an extension to stay at Old Miss

444
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: as long as the waiver goes through. Now there's kind

445
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: of this legal fight that he's got going on. This

446
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: was tweeted by Ross Dellinger, who's one of the better

447
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: college football writers there is. Fletcher Smith, Trinidad's agent, contends

448
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: that the top transferring quarterbacks in college football command seven

449
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: million dollars including incentives for a year. For a year,

450
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: that's as much or more than third round NFL draft picks.

451
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 8: Yeah.

452
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 3: Well, you know, if you're playing for one of these

453
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 3: big schools and going to the championship and playing on

454
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 3: national television and twenty million people are watching you some

455
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 3: in some ways, I do get that, Johnny, everybody, the

456
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 3: last majority get it.

457
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: I get it. But to see that number is staggered.

458
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 3: Arch made what six last year, and that's the markets as.

459
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 6: Much as I thought it would be. I thought it

460
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 6: would be somewhere around three three and a half. Yeah,

461
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 6: for the kind of the going rate, that's ridiculous. Seven million.

462
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 8: Go ahead and go to the draft or which whatever

463
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 8: you gotta.

464
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 6: Don't don't point that gun at us. As if I'm

465
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 6: a school is what I would I would be thinking, Uh,

466
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 6: that's it's ridiculous.

467
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,239
Speaker 8: It is.

468
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, you stay in school if if you can get

469
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 6: it and you're not gonna be drafted high. I don't

470
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 6: know what the you know, his prospect is or how

471
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 6: he's being ranked or rated or whatever. I know this,

472
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 6: he's a hell of a player that I spend money

473
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 6: to go watch. That's for sure.

474
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: Looks great and he'll go up.

475
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 6: The fact that he wants to stay at ole miss

476
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 6: as opposed to going to l s U, Yeah that

477
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 6: tells you a lot.

478
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 8: And Laine is just Layne has lost it. Man, how

479
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 8: do you take.

480
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 6: This is a team that's riding a ton of momentum.

481
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 8: How can you leave it? Yeah, you're in a better

482
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 8: position than LSU.

483
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 3: Exactly, exactly. And you know what, it's funny. Because he

484
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 3: had the money, people started to like him again or

485
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 3: for the first time, for the first time.

486
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 8: Colors again.

487
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the he's the bad guy again.

488
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: He was becoming maybe not the good guy, but it

489
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: is bad guys want to stay bad guys.

490
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 2: That's just they can't.

491
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 6: He can't kind of take some superhero that you know,

492
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 6: we've we've inexperienced that in our youth, that maybe was

493
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 6: on the fringe of being a good guy.

494
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 8: But just the hell with it. I'll just stay you know,

495
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 8: there's gotta be SI by the end of the afternoon.

496
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 8: I'll send it out on our text three.

497
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,840

Speaker 3: Dray looking forward to Monday night.

499
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 8: Can't wait.

500
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot for joining us.

501
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 8: All right, guys, I can't wait.

502
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: That is a common theme.

503
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: Cannot wait for Monday Night football, not tonight, next Monday,

504
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: taking on the Steelers in Pittsburgh seven fifteen local time.

505
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 2: I think is the actual time.

506
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: We'll have you covered here on sports Radio six cent

507
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: a week and then up in Pittsburgh we will be there,

508
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: so cannot wait for that one.

509
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 2: All right, We get back to.

510
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: General John McClain had plenty of thoughts about facing Pittsburgh.

511
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: You know, the General is happy about Houston football against Pittsburgh.

512
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that with him next on Texans All Access.

513
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 2: What's going on, everybody?

514
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Texans All Access from that Texans Radio studio.

515
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, Football Analyst, reporters time catch

516
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: up with the Hall of Famer the General, John McLaine,

517
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: Woody marks.

518
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: And Togy I I formation first and goal at the

519
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 2: two Stroud digs in on first and goal.

520
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 3: Here's the gift. He's gonna fake it. CJ is going

521
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 3: to take it himself.

522
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 5: Everybody bought the faith and Stroud ran around the right

523
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 5: side for the score.

524
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 2: And by everybody, I mean me, J Car know what

525
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: was going on?

526
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 3: Well, Tommy looks so convincing for that split second when

527
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 3: I said that, and it's the speed. Yeah, I got

528
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: a lag a little bit there because had it ran

529
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 3: it in for the score. Tommy got his TV later,

530
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 3: of course, as the game ended in that jubulant celebration

531
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 3: in the end zone. To conclude the regular season with

532
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 3: a nine game winning streak, and you know streaks, we

533
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 3: talk about them. If you win the opener next year,

534
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 3: let's say you go all the way to the Super Bowl.

535
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 2: Do you count that as part of the streak. I

536
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: guess you do.

537
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 3: It's a different kind of streak because regular season streaks

538
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 3: and postseason streaks they're two different animals in statistical land.

539
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 2: But whatever it is, you've won nine in a row

540
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 2: heading into.

541
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 3: The playoffs and it's super exciting playing the Steelers Monday night.

542
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 3: Let's talk about it with the General John McLean. Okay, General,

543
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 3: here you are twelve wins, Tiger franchise high, nine in

544
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: a row, Tiger franchise best, and you're facing the Steelers

545
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: Monday night your thoughts.

546
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 10: Other than clinching a playoff spot, there's not much better

547
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 10: in the last game than being able to play your

548
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 10: backups and still win. In the way the Texans won,

549
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 10: that game was so exciting, scoring thirty eight points to Yeah,

550
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 10: of course with a fumble return, and I it was

551
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 10: fun to watch and Jamie fat Ben, it's amazing what

552
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 10: kind of season he said he had missed inside forty

553
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 10: and seeing him Tommy Townsend has done a good job.

554
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 10: I've been wanting to see British Brooks carry the ball

555
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 10: off season, I said two twenty five. I was told

556
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 10: in camp that he worked like crazy on the Wights

557
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 10: that had gotten up to two forty three, so they

558
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 10: used him as a fullback and he averaged four point

559
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 10: eight yards of carry. It was great to get to

560
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 10: see a lot of backups get a lot of playing time,

561
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 10: and of course the victory was incredible. And as someone

562
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 10: who as the Texans, let's see Houston has not won

563
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 10: a road game of the playoffs since nineteen eighty eight,

564
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 10: when the Oilers beat Cleveland. Haven't been the championship game,

565
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 10: of course, since seventy nine, when the Oilers lost at Pittsburgh.

566
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 10: As someone who covered Houston at Pittsburgh in the playoffs,

567
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 10: all losses. I would love to see the Texans get

568
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 10: some revenge for us old fans in Houston who watched

569
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 10: so much frustration. And after watching the game last night,

570
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 10: I wanted to see them play the Steelers. And after

571
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 10: watching well, Lamar Jackson looked like he is back, especially

572
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 10: in the fourth quarter, and the fact that the Texans

573
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 10: beat them up so badly without him and all those

574
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 10: defensive starters. I'd rather see him go up against Aaron Rodgers.

575
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 10: But Aaron Rodgers played great in the fourth quarter too,

576
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 10: And with the weather's supposed to be cold, possible snow.

577
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 10: That's what I always remember about playoff football in Pittsburgh.

578
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 10: It's going to be low scoring, probably settled by Phil Goles,

579
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 10: and if it's any thing near what it was last night,

580
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 10: I don't know if all those Steeler plans were even

581
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 10: those terrible towels will be able to take a second

582
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 10: consecutive game like that, because it was magical. I felt

583
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 10: terrible for Chris Boswell from Rice, who had a cup

584
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 10: of coffee with the Texans. Then I felt terrible for

585
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 10: the Baltimore kicker. But I'm still glad it's going to

586
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 10: be the Texans and the Steelers general.

587
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: For old heads that remember those Oilers Steelers matchups back

588
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: in the day, and not just the playoffs. I mean,

589
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: they had hard hitting games twice a year, but then

590
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: they meet in the playoffs. That was one of the

591
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: things that I told Mark and we were talking about

592
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: after the game. I said, you know, I just remember

593
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: those seventies Steelers that I always wanted to be involved

594
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: with a playoff game in Pittsburgh. Like there was something

595
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: about that was like the real playoffs, playing them up

596
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: there in Pittsburgh. So in a way, it's sort of

597
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: romantic that it's the Steelers on the road. I know

598
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: for some of us old heads. I know the Steelers

599
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: haven't won a lot of playoff games, but it feels

600
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: like it matters that it's the Steelers on the road.

601
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: Maybe here it would have been great too, but the

602
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: fact that it's on the road in their building, just

603
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: seeing the black and goal in a playoff game, I

604
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: think for me it would be really cool. And I

605
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: can imagine for you covering those teams all those years,

606
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: it's got to be cool for you too.

607
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 10: Del Rogerson, who covered the Oilers, longer than I did.

608
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 10: He was with me in the press box yesterday and

609
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 10: we were talking about that possibility, not knowing they would

610
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 10: actually play Pittsburgh. And there still are a lot of

611
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 10: fans here who remember those times. During the Lovely Blue period,

612
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 10: Steelers won four super Bowls in six years. It was

613
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 10: the Oiler's misfortune to play in their division and one

614
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 10: game that I would point out, the Steelers were going

615
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 10: to miss the playoffs unless the Oilers beat the Bengals. Here,

616
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 10: the Oilers beat the Bengals here. Steelers got in the playoffs,

617
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 10: won a Super Bowl, and everybody in the Oilers organization

618
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 10: got a really nice briefcase from the Steelers, made out

619
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 10: of football, made out of what you may out of

620
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 10: the football, and they court carried those things with a

621
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,479
Speaker 10: lot of pride. That was a great rivalry because they

622
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 10: played twice a year, and both teams are really physical

623
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 10: and the ball a lot, especially there Ocampbell and the Oilers.

624
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 10: And now I'd love to see the Texans go up

625
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 10: there and beat them. There was one loss to Pittsburgh

626
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 10: in which the Oilers lost, but Houston won. It was overtime.

627
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 10: In eighty nine, Gary Anderson kicked a fifty yard field

628
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 10: goal and everybody was devastated, except when it became Jerry

629
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 10: Glamville's last game as the head coach. Then it was

630
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 10: almost worth losing.

631
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 3: Wow, almost worth losing. I have that one up. I'm

632
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 3: looking through the history here. That was a nine to

633
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 3: eight record, well nine and seven going into the postseason,

634
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 3: and yeah, twenty six to twenty three Pittsburgh at the Dome. Wow,

635
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 3: that's tough stuff. Okay, General, it's done. The regular season

636
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 3: is over, so no more speculation on things you need

637
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 3: to improve in the regular season to get ready for

638
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 3: the playoffs. You are what you are going into the

639
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 3: postseason Monday night, it starts at Pittsburgh. What do you

640
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 3: think of this Texans team and what they have, what

641
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 3: they need to do to win this.

642
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 2: Game and go on the run that we're all dreaming about.

643
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 10: Great defense, great special teams, suspect offense. In the five

644
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 10: games they lost, they averaged fourteen point four points, and

645
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 10: they lost them by an average of four point eight points,

646
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 10: all one score defeats. In their twelve victories, they scored

647
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 10: at least twenty eleven times, and they averaged twenty seven

648
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 10: point six in those victories and allowed sixteen point five.

649
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 10: So the key is to score twenty points. Now you

650
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 10: think that ought to be that that shouldn't be that

651
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 10: big a deal, but it was for this offense. And

652
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 10: I thought it was interesting. Two touchdowns and three red

653
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 10: zone the appearances after getting not even getting in the

654
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 10: red zone against the Chargers, and then when they had Tokya,

655
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 10: I lined up at fullback at the two and then

656
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 10: course Stroud had to run it in and did a

657
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 10: good job on that run. Then that was a new

658
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 10: wrinkle from offensive coordinator Nick Kaylee. And when you're gonna

659
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 10: get the kind of weather they're gonna get in Pittsburgh,

660
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 10: you're gonna have to run the ball. And I thought

661
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 10: Texan's getting one hundred and thirty four yards averaging four

662
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 10: point two to carry Money Mills at a twelve yard run.

663
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 10: Bargis Brooks had a twenty yard run, so the numbers

664
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 10: looked pretty good. And the run defense, Jonathan Taylor fourteen

665
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 10: carries twenty six yards, that's one point nine a carry,

666
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 10: and they're gonna play great run defense because they always

667
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 10: play great run defense. So it's gonna come down to

668
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 10: a whole quarterback who's used to playing in bad weather

669
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 10: at b Aaron Rodgers of course against a young quarterback

670
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 10: who's not And I think the key is going to

671
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 10: be those two quarterbacks because I don't think either team

672
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 10: will be able to run consistently. I think both will

673
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 10: play great defense and uh, even though Chris Boswell missed

674
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 10: his first extra point in four years, both kickers are

675
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 10: really good. And so I think it's gonna be the

676
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 10: old versus the young. It's gonna be Rogers versus Stroud.

677
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 10: The one that plays the best, uh is gonna win

678
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 10: a game.

679
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: So this was posted by NFL and CBS. The last

680
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 1: ten champions of every division in the AFC.

681
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 2: Okay, you know there's a logo, so they're all by

682
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 2: logos mark logos.

683
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 8: Yeah.

684
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: So in the NFC South, like there's a logo missing,

685
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: Like it's not it's not there.

686
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can imagine which one this is.

687
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: It's the Horses Horses Yeah yeah, yeah, Like it's not showing,

688
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: so that means, yeah, you know, the last ten champions

689
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: of every division do not include the Indianapolis Colts.

690
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 2: General.

691
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: I bring that up because at one point they were

692
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: ought to be the best team in the league. They

693
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: were thought to be the seventy two Miami Dolphins seemingly

694
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden reality hit them. They

695
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: came here yesterday, played hard with Riley Leonard, give him

696
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: credit for that score thirty, but still lost the game.

697
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: After the game, shortly thereafter, Carly Ursa Gordon announced both

698
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: Chris Ballard and Shane Steiken are coming back for twenty

699
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: twenty six. Smart move, wrong move, right move, questionable move.

700
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,439
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about both Steichen and Ballard coming

701
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: back to the Colts, And I'll throw on top of

702
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: that the quarterback question for them in twenty twenty six,

703
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: what do.

704
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 8: You do well?

705
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 10: I think it's the right move. You can't hold against them.

706
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 10: The fact Daniel Jones got hurt. Now, the wills started

707
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 10: to come off before he got hurt, but then he

708
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 10: was playing with the fractured fibula that limited him from running.

709
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 10: And he's a really good runner, a very smart runner.

710
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 10: But teams figured out and I think it was Pittsburgh

711
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 10: was the first to do it. Throw everything you got,

712
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 10: Jonathan Taylor and make Daniel Jones beat you and he

713
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 10: couldn't do it. And I think the new owner, Carly

714
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 10: Ursay Gordon, and she's there and been in every part

715
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,280
Speaker 10: of the organization been wearing a headcent for years, nobody

716
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 10: taking attention till this year. She knows what she's doing

717
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 10: and they've got talent on that team.

718
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 8: We all know it.

719
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 10: And Shane Stiking, I think, is a pretty good coach,

720
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 10: very creative, and they as far as you know, Antie

721
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 10: Richards has got to be gone. Riley Leonard is going

722
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 10: to be the backup, but do they start him and

723
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 10: sign Daniel Jones to a one year deal. Nobody's gonna

724
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 10: sign Daniel Jones more than a one year deal when

725
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 10: he's coming off of torn achilles and a fractured fibula,

726
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 10: So he signs there a one year, make it season.

727
00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 10: Riley Leonard plays early if he's not ready, and you

728
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 10: ride with those two and you hope Jones stays healthy.

729
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 10: But the AFC South has gotten a whole lot better,

730
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 10: and the Titans have the most money to spend under

731
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 10: the salary cap and a new GM, not a new

732
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 10: G and Mike Bgonzi, who has new control, and people

733
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 10: in that organization have been telling me Biganza came from

734
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 10: the Chiefs. Is a very sharp guy who knows what

735
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 10: he's doing, and so he's going to get to and

736
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 10: Amy Adams struggle sign off on it. Hire the coach,

737
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 10: and he's got a lot to play with, high draft

738
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 10: picks and a lot of money, so you think. And

739
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 10: Tim Ward over the last second half of the season

740
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 10: had like ten touchdowns, two interceptions, he ran for four.

741
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 10: Of course he got hurt running for a touchdown. Played

742
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 10: every snap until he got hurt yesterday. That they ought

743
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 10: to be improved. So the division is going to be

744
00:37:55,280 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 10: a lot tougher next season. And the Colts got to

745
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 10: be able to find a quarterback because they get seem

746
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 10: to have everything else to help them stay in the mix.

747
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 3: General, great stuff, Thanks so so much, and we'll catch

748
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 3: up later on in the week. Plenty to talk about.

749
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: Great stuff there from John McLain, the Hall of Famer.

750
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 1: All right, tomorrow night we have a live show outside

751
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: the team store. Owen Daniels' best tight ended team history

752
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: will join us on the spot at six o'clock. Make

753
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: sure you make sure you are there. Owen Daniels. Can't

754
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: wait for him to join us. All right, get back.

755
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: We're playing the Steelers on Monday. It was almost the Ravens,

756
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: then it was almost the Steelers. Then it was almost

757
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens again. Then it was almost the Steelers, and

758
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: then it was almost the Ravens one final time.

759
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 2: How did it sound on both ends?

760
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: The anguish of the Ravens, the exhilaration of the Steelers.

761
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 2: How did it sound last night? We'll do that next

762
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 2: the Texans All Access?

763
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 8: What's van? Everybody?

764
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Monday edition of Texans All Access from

765
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: the other Texans Radio studio. I'm your host, John Harris,

766
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: football analyst, sideline reporter for your Houston Texans and your

767
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: Texans will play in Pittsburgh on Monday evening, Monday night

768
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 1: football playoff style.

769
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 8: Let me be doing this.

770
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, five six years, I think, but it's

771
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: always been a four to five game. And that's why

772
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: we were kind of once the Texans had locked up

773
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: that five spot, kind of thought, man, this might be it.

774
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: This might be the Monday night football game. And it's

775
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: just a matter of whether we go to Baltimore, where

776
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: we go to Pittsburgh. We go to Pittsburgh for a

777
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: number of reasons, because Aaron Rodgers got it together, because

778
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton went out of the game. But a lot

779
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: of people will just point to the end of the

780
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,480

Speaker 1: the Ravens, missed the kick, So how did it sound?

782
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: Mike Tarrico, I think one of the best in the business.

783
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: This was his call on NBC Sports along with Chris Collinsworth.

784

Speaker 9: Tyler Loop made his only try tonight from forty He

Speaker 9: is thirty of thirty three on the season. He has

797
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 9: not missed from inside fifty yards. This will be a

798
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 9: forty four yard attempt. It will come from the middle

799
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 9: of the field. It's for the division. Loop is ready,

800

823
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 11: Sap was good, the hold was good, the kick was

824
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 11: pushed right.

825
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 2: Everything coming down to one kick. It's amazing, Ryan, All

826
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 2: the work you do in your season comes down to

827
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 2: one play.

828
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: Oh each and every time I hear and you'll hear

829
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: it forever. You hear that miss Oh my gosh. I

830
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: hate to win a game on a missed field goal,

831
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: but it's happened. I mean, Scott Norwood Wide Wright Giants

832
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. I remember back in twenty sixteen

833
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: Christmas eve Day, we had a afternoon game I believe

834
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: it was maybe a night game against the CINCNTI Bengals.

835
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: And to win a division we need a little bit

836
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: of help from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Doug Maroon had just

837
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: taken over as interim coach and had a shot beat

838
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,479
Speaker 1: the Titans. So all we had to do was beat

839
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Tough game, back and forth. Similarly, we ended

840
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: up taking a two point lead, but the balls on

841
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: the foot of Randy Bullock late in the game, and

842
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: I remember, I go back behind the goal post for

843
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: every field goal of substance you have, it's a chip shot.

844
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,800
Speaker 1: I may not do it, but if it's forty plus,

845
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: I get myself back there. And there's also something kind

846
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 1: of comforting knowing okay, that's gonna be good, or bracing

847
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: myself for wide right.

848
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 2: So when I went back there in.

849
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen and I stood under the upright, I said,

850
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not standing in the upright. I

851
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: can't watch this thing go through Christmas Eve night. I

852
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: just can't can't do it. And so I actually moved

853
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: myself to the left of the upright and I swear

854
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: to you, Randy Bullock hit it right over my head

855
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: and I'm screaming wide right, wide right. And the Texans

856
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: ended up winning the division that night as a result. Now,

857
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: we went to Tennessee, yeah later later that month, actually

858
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: the next week, and things didn't go as well. There

859
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,720
Speaker 1: was some hubbub in the hallway in the locker room,

860
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: and the Texans ended up losing the Tights next week,

861
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: but didn't matter. They were in the playoffs. But yeah,

862
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, that's the way that kind of that season went.

863
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: So I've been there in a positive manner, but I

864
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 1: can't imagine what that is feeling like on the losing side,

865
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: but you know what it sounds like on the winning side.

866
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 1: So here's Rob King describing the action for Pittsburgh Radio.

867
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:15,880

Speaker 1: That's Mac Starks, Travis Johnson's cousin, which I found out

881
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: because I've got coached against Max many many many years ago.

882
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,600

906
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,080

Speaker 3: we can tell. And you continue to work with different guys.

911
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 3: What about the ability to work with different guys on

912
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 3: the fly and getting them involved in what you guys do.

913
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 13: Well, thanks for having me. Always fun to come on here. Well,

914
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 13: I mean it's a testament to the culture in the room.

915
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 13: We really pride ourselves into being that group that's consistent

916
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 13: no matter who's in. One thing we say is we

917
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 13: have no weak links. So who's ever in has to

918
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 13: hold it down, hold their role down, and show up

919
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 13: and do what we expect them for them to do.

920
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 13: And our new guys have jumped right in and they've

921
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 13: done a great job. Number One, there are great people,

922
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:15,280
Speaker 13: hard workers, extremely humble guys, and that normally works when

923
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 13: you have guys like that. They just want to do

924
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 13: their job. They just want to be accountable and be

925
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 13: somebody that everyone can trust. And that's why we've had

926
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 13: the result we've had.

927
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 2: Coach is a guy that I know.

928
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 1: He does a lot for CBS and does a lot

929
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: of film stuff, and he has a tweet he says,

930
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: winning championships is offering about your stars, top players showing up,

931
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: But can the bottom middle of roster achieve and be

932
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: there when called upon? He said, and he continued, I

933
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: love seeing guys on Houston's front like TOGYI and Dylan

934
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: Horden playing the run like this, and he has to

935
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: play from the Chargers game. They'll be needed in January.

936
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: Those are guys that don't get talked about a lot.

937
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: We talked about the nil we talk about Will, but

938
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: guys like Tommy, Dylan Horden's stepping up. I thought it

939
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 1: was interesting because I saw that tweet right before you

940
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: walked in. What do you think about him making a

941
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 1: comment about that, like, yeah, you need your starts to play,

942
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: but you got to have those other guys that maybe

943
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: other people won't talk about.

944
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 2: They've got to raise their play as well.

945
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 13: Absolutely, I mean I always I'm always gonna give credit

946
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 13: at the top. Our head coach just sets the tone

947
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:16,879
Speaker 13: for this team. And it don't start in training camp,

948
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 13: and I'm talking about from phase one when we get

949
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 13: back in the off season. I mean, we are extremely,

950
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 13: extremely consistent with our message and how we play here,

951
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 13: and so anybody that is in that locker room, the

952
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,399
Speaker 13: standard is set from the top, all right, and down

953
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 13: to Coach Burke and myself and coach Frank like we're

954
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:39,439
Speaker 13: the standard is set.

955
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 8: So whoever you are, like, you have to play that

956
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 8: this standard.

957
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 13: And obviously with guys like Will and Daniel who are

958
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 13: the stars, then they hate hearing that right by the way,

959
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 13: they hate hearing stars make some cringe because they want

960
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 13: to be one of the guys. They just want to

961
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,919
Speaker 13: work they're working the hardest. Are that trends are working

962
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 13: the hardest. So there's nowhere to hide in this building

963
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 13: because especially in the D line room, because guys are

964
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 13: working hard. So Tommy and Dylan Horton man high character, guys,

965
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 13: high intelligence, extremely tough. I mean, it's just it's just

966
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 13: who they are so and they want to meet the standard.

967
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 13: They want to meet the standards. So whoever's out there playing,

968
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 13: nobody wants to be the guy that left the room.

969
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 8: That's you know what I'm saying.

970
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 13: So it really doesn't matter if you're out there on

971
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 13: this defense from the front to the middle to the

972
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 13: back end. Like I'm one of the eleven, like, I

973
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 13: do not want to be the guy that is not

974
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 13: running to the ball. I do not want to be

975
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 13: the guy that didn't that didn't control my gap. I

976
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 13: do not want to be the guy that cost this team.

977
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 13: So I think there's a there's a strong colture there

978
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 13: set from the head coach on the coach Burke and

979
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 13: then just with the players themselves and guys just guys

980
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 13: just meet.

981
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 8: Meet the standard.

982
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 3: Is a guy like Derek Barnett a great example of that.

983
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 3: I call him Big Play Barnett because he always seems

984
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:03,800
Speaker 3: to make big plays. And if you put together the

985
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,720
Speaker 3: Derek Barnett highlight reel, you might think he's playing seventy

986
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 3: snaps a game coach, because he's got a lot of

987
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 3: big plays. But what about that kind of player doesn't

988
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 3: play the majority of the snaps necessarily, but he plays

989
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 3: plenty of them and takes advantage of them.

990
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 13: Everybody forgets Derek Barnett has a Super Bowl ring. He

991
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,320
Speaker 13: got one with the Eagles, and he's one of a

992
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 13: few in this building and it's got a ring, so

993
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 13: he knows what it's like to be a champion. So

994
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 13: every single day he's working to that standard. And one

995
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 13: thing that I mentioned today after practice to the d

996
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 13: line is that Derek Barnett, like every single day, every

997
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 13: single practice, he is on the side getting extra working,

998
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 13: showing up early, getting extra working, like just being consistent.

999
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 13: Even when he had zero sacks, still the same process.

1000
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 13: And that's when that stuff starts to show up late

1001
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 13: in the season because he just sharpening that sword, starpening

1002
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 13: that sword, starpening that sword. At some point point that's

1003
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 13: as sharp as it is, it's gonna pierce, it's gonna

1004
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,839
Speaker 13: show up, and that's who he is. He's been doing

1005
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 13: it so like behind the scenes, not allowing yourself to

1006
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 13: get too high or too low, Like Okay, I didn't

1007
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,280
Speaker 13: make this play. This game has been a couple of plays,

1008
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 13: a couple of games since I've made a play. Man,

1009
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 13: Keep trusting the process, keep working hard. It's gonna show

1010
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 13: up at some point. And that's who he is. I mean,

1011
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 13: he's won a championship. Nobody's tougher than that guy. And

1012
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,399
Speaker 13: when he gets on, he just maximizes the opportunity he's given.

1013
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 13: And so that that's that's who he is, That's who

1014
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 13: he's been since he's he's walking in this building, coach.

1015
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: One half of the Samoan swarm is new and that's

1016
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: Lucky Foto. Yes, what can you tell us about Ley?

1017
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: He's only been in the building for a little bit,

1018
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: and we saw him the other day for the first

1019
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: time as a Texan, and we remember him as a Cardinal.

1020
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: I remember a few years ago with the Cardinals, he

1021
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 1: was really good against us. What can you tell us

1022
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: about Lecky and what he's brought thus far?

1023
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 13: Well, he brings another tough guy, blue collar guy that

1024
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 13: just wants to work and I mean, it's so funny

1025
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 13: that I'm saying the same thing about every guy, but

1026
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,760
Speaker 13: it's true. And it's so easy to say this because

1027
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 13: it's true. So once he got in the building, for

1028
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 13: the moment I met him, there was a great energy,

1029
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 13: just extremely happy to be back on a team because

1030
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 13: he got released. And you know, when you get cut

1031
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 13: or you get released and you get another opportunity, man,

1032
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,439
Speaker 13: to look in your eye, the feeling in your heart

1033
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 13: is different. It's just like, man, I'm just happy to

1034
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 13: be playing football, let alone be playing for a team

1035
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 13: that has a chance to go on a nice run

1036
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,720
Speaker 13: and for a team that's just playing really good defense.

1037
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 8: So his film popped off off the tape.

1038
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:48,440

1042
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 13: looking for from the play style, from the mentality. We're

00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,320
Speaker 3: How hard is it to coach them up on exactly

1062
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 3: what needs to be done in particular situations. I mean,

1063

Speaker 3: he's playing guns of the games stuff. He's in there

1064

Speaker 3: with Tommy and the Pitts, and I know you guys

1065
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 3: sometimes like to do some things on the defensive line

1066
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 3: that are creative. So what about teaching all of that

1067
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 3: in short order?

1068
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 13: Well, honestly, that's part about the about the NFL. Like

1069
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 13: you're you're gonna have some new guys. You know, you're

1070
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 13: not gonna start out with the same guys that you did.

1071
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 8: In training camp.

1072
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 13: You're gonna end up playing playing with guys that's been

1073
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 13: here for a week, and you you there's a little

1074
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 13: bit of extra work during the week, you know, just

1075
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 13: kind of catching them up to speed. You kind of

1076
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 13: figure out what they do well and what and what

1077
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 13: comes natural to them, and you try to put them

1078
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:40,439
Speaker 13: in situations that, oh that's we we might have called

1079
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 13: it this. We call it this. Oh man, that's the

1080
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 13: same thing that we call it. Hey, how did you

1081
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 13: how did y'all play this over there? Are we played

1082
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,879
Speaker 13: it like this? Okay, we play it like that as well?

1083
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 13: Hey we we played a little different. We play it

1084
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 13: like this. So, like you try to match in their

1085
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 13: mind what they know and try to like put them

1086
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 13: in a situation they can where they can be effected,

1087
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 13: you know. And then obviously week two you progress to more.

1088
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 13: You don't you don't throw the whole kitchen steak out

1089
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 13: them and just expect them to be one hundred percent

1090
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,399
Speaker 13: on the test, but you do try to put them

1091
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 13: in situations where they can or they can affect the

1092
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 13: game in a positive way and then you just clean

1093
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 13: up whatever as we go and hey man, just play fast,

1094

Speaker 13: day for us, right And one of the you know,

1096
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,919
Speaker 13: one of the most warming things to tell you guys, like, listen,

1097
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 13: you got Will on one side and the nail on

1098
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 13: the other side. We don't need you to come in

1099
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 13: here and save the game. We just need you to

1100
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 13: make sure you do your job. And we got enough

1101
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 13: people around you to hold it down, so you just

1102
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:48,439
Speaker 13: do your part, don't try to do too much, play hard,

1103
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 13: we'll fix We'll fix it on the go.

1104
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,399
Speaker 1: And when we have our guy in studio, he says

1105
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,919
Speaker 1: that very thing. But I'll want you, if you can't coach,

1106
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: to speak about Tommy Tokii. And it started last year

1107
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: because us spot for Mark and I'll tell him, you know,

1108
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: who's at the bottom of pie who's making a tackle

1109
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: And I kept saying Tommy's name, Togy toky I kept

1110
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: saying it. And then in the in the playoff game,

1111
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 1: he has the sack of Patrick Mahomes. He comes back

1112
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: this year and he just seemed like he took his

1113
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: game to a different level. What does he meant to

1114
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: your defense this year.

1115
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 13: And call him mister consistent. And he's not just mistic

1116
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 13: consistent on the field, he's missic consistent off the field.

1117
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 8: We have a we have a joke, me and Tommy Man,

1118
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 8: we have.

1119
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 13: A great relationship, and I always joke with him because

1120
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 13: he'll be in a weight room early. Like as coaches

1121
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 13: you try to work out, you got to get in

1122
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 13: there early before they get in there because there's no

1123
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 13: no space in there. So like I'll come in there early,

1124
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 13: and then he'll he'll be come in there. And I

1125
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 13: used to joke with him, like, all right, Tommy, I've

1126
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 13: seen you, like I'm your coach, I've seen you.

1127
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 8: You can leave now. I see that you're here early,

1128
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 8: Like I get it. And he'll just laughing.

1129
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 13: But he's here before everybody a lot of times, getting

1130
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 13: his stretches and getting his lifts and getting getting a recovery,

1131
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 13: and like even when he was on a backup or

1132
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 13: not up, he was consistent. I mean, the guys that

1133
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 13: are special, that are consistent in our locker room are

1134
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 13: doing their process all the time, whether they're an early bird,

1135
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 13: whether they stay late, whether they do things on the side,

1136
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 13: whether they do stuff out of the building. They're doing

1137
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 13: more than most people, and they're doing it consistently, and

1138
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 13: you compound that together consistently over time, the results are

1139
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 13: going to add up at some point. And I think

1140
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 13: you're starting we're starting to all see the things he's

1141
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 13: done behind the scenes that hey, he trusted his process

1142
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 13: and he's been consistent and he's getting rewarded for it now.

1143
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 13: And he's always made plays. He did that in OTAs,

1144
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 13: he did that in training cap, he did that in

1145
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 13: a preseason. He was down the first few games as

1146
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 13: soon as it's no what's called. He made a bunch

1147
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 13: of plays the first game, and it's just like, man,

1148
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 13: this guy, this is just what this guy is and

1149
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 13: who he is, and you're we're just experiencing what we've

1150
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 13: seen this entire time since he's been here.

1151
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 3: D Youl like coach Rod right with us, so coach,

1152
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 3: I'm watching the ball as a play by play guy.

1153
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 2: But I do notice as the game where is on.

1154
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 3: Very often I'm first down, second down, You'll have Dylan

1155
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 3: and Derek in the game on the edges, and then hey,

1156
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 3: it's third and four or more, let's bring Will and

1157
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 3: daneel in and I know, you can't control everything. Sometimes

1158
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 3: they convert the third down, very often they don't. But

1159
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 3: what about setting up those rotations with the guys.

1160
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 2: How hard is that for you?

1161
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 3: And that's really your job on game day, right, the

1162
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 3: coach trusts you to set that rotation and keep everybody's

1163
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 3: reps where they need to be right well.

1164
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 13: To be able to play as hard as we play,

1165
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 13: as physical as we play, we've got to be able

1166
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 13: to have depth.

1167
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 8: So if you're up, if you have a helmet, you're

1168
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 8: gonna play. You're gonna play a good amount.

1169
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, it's not one of those man like

1170
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 13: you you're up, but you're not gonna like you're gonna

1171
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 13: if you're not playing Dlon, you're gonna be playing a

1172
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 13: lot of special teams, you know, So our guys know

1173
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 13: when they get in the game, like well, sometimes we'll

1174
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 13: have those guys start off and and and play based

1175
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 13: down and have Willing and Neil come so like that's

1176
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 13: that's just a part of our structure between myself and

1177
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 13: coach Frank Okam, just making sure the rotation is legit.

1178
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 13: We'll mix and Matt some uh, we don't, you know.

1179
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 13: We we truly feel like we're nine deep when we

1180
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 13: go in there, it doesn't matter who's in the game with.

1181
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 8: All of our guys have made big plays for us.

1182
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:38,959
Speaker 13: Like you said, big play, Dbat, I mean, he's made

1183
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 13: game changing plays for us. And it's because he's played,

1184
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 13: you know what I'm saying. So like he's been in

1185
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 13: meaningful plays where I've other places I've been are played

1186
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 13: as a player.

1187
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 8: Man, I don't know what it's like.

1188
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 13: To be out there in a in a in a

1189
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 13: real situation, all right, because I just haven't been in

1190
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 13: it where our guys. I mean, the depth is created

1191
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 13: that way because this guy has been playing. You know,

1192
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 13: Tommy was playing a lot before he took over as

1193
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 13: a starter. dB years ago we had we had injury, man,

1194
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 13: he stepped right in and started and and and I

1195
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 13: just think just last year when when when Will went

1196
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 13: down for a few games, dB stepped up and started.

1197
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 8: No problem.

1198
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 13: Ou Tree is obviously starting this league. So we have

1199
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 13: we have good depth. We trust our guys. Our guys

1200
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 13: have been in tough situations and haven't flinched. And that's

1201
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 13: because we play them, you know. So it's it's been

1202
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 13: very good for us. And then you know, Will and

1203
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 13: danil aren't getting aren't playing uh sixty snaps and out

1204
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 13: of gas at the end of the game, you know.

1205
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 13: So we want to be able to share the wealth

1206
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 13: that gives us all great playing experience, but that also

1207
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 13: keeps us fresh over the long season.

1208
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: Coach, what's the value to you of two grizzled vets

1209
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: in Sheldon Rankins and Denico Autry? I mean as a coach,

1210
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys have seen some things, they've been around.

1211
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 1: How does their leadership kind of help some of the

1212
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 1: younger guys? What do those two mean to you?

1213
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 13: And Frank Well, it's it means the world because I mean,

1214
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 13: you have guys that have seen it, who have been

1215
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 13: in big situations, have played in the playoffs. Who's not

1216
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 13: going to be afraid to go on the road. We're

1217
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 13: bouncing ideas off of each other. You can trust, trust

1218
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 13: that they know what they're doing, Trust that they're gonna

1219
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 13: watch film, study their playbook. I mean, it's it's it's

1220
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 13: it's a real treat to have guys like that in

1221
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 13: the room, because, like I said, me and me and

1222
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 13: Sheldon work together in twenty twenty three, so he so

1223
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 13: when we were down oh and three nobody flinched.

1224
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 8: Everybody just say all right, we just go back to work.

1225
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 13: Whereas if you haven't been in that situation before, you know,

1226
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 13: you may try to you may try to do too

1227
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 13: much or not enough or panic. And just to have

1228
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,480
Speaker 13: veterans in the room that are doing it the right way,

1229
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 13: understand what understand what the process is. I mean you

1230
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 13: you just can you just can go to sleep at night.

1231
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 13: Uh And and I know that I have guys that

1232
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 13: can do it and be consistent doing it, and that's

1233
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 13: why they're in the league. They've been in this league

1234
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 13: this long. Like you're not going to be in the

1235
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 13: league ten plus years and not be consistent in what

1236
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 13: you do. And like Rank is like a like a

1237
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 13: freaking coach on the field, and as I mean, obviously

1238
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 13: one of the toughest guys that I've ever met. Yes, yeah,

1239
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 13: it does, it does really help our room.

1240
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 2: Coach.

1241
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 3: You mentioned Frank Okam, your assistant, and he's new this year,

1242
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 3: former Texan fellow Longhorn, And we've had him in here.

1243
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 3: Very intelligent guy, different personality than Nate who had last year.

1244
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 3: So what about Frank and what he's added to the

1245
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 3: equation coaching the defensive line.

1246
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 13: Well, Frank is a is a former Texan obviously, and

1247
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 13: a former D line coach at two different franchises. All right,

1248
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 13: So he brings credibility from the standpoint of running his

1249
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 13: own room, and he brings credibility as a as a

1250
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 13: D lineman. All right, So a lot of his knowledge.

1251
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 13: I always said, man, it's one thing to coach it

1252
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 13: the double team. It's another thing to say, Hey, this

1253
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 13: is how I actually play the double team. And to me,

1254
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 13: no disrespect to anybody who has not taken a double team,

1255
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 13: it's I can understand, hey, that those things are hard. Yeah,

1256
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 13: they're they're hard, Like you're gonna if you get ten

1257
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 13: double teams in a row. Sometimes it don't matter how many,

1258
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 13: how perfect your technique is, it's still six hundred tend

1259
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 13: plus pounds trying to knock you off the ball. Hey,

1260
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 13: maybe we might need to move this guy a little bit,

1261
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 13: Maybe we need to change the target by playing back

1262
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 13: to the tackle. And I think like that just brings

1263
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 13: instant credibility to the room. His passion for the game,

1264
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 13: his intelligence around the game is second to none. The

1265
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 13: way he sees the game when it comes to uh

1266
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 13: coaching inside guys and also matching up our games with

1267
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 13: the outside guys is elite. And obviously he understands the

1268
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 13: standard around here and it's important to it's very important

1269
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 13: to him that this franchise wins.

1270
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 8: And we're always looking for that is man, what's that?

1271
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 8: What's that?

1272
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 13: What's that little edge that when everybody's a little tired,

1273
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 13: that this guy's gonna bring it just a little bit more.

1274
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 13: And obviously with him, uh, playing here and and being

1275
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 13: a guy that's been in the NFL and really appreciating

1276
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 13: being being the next player, man, I think that's his

1277
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 13: winning edge, and uh, he's been, He's been a gift

1278
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 13: to the d line room.

1279
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: Coulse, there have been so many pivotal points in this

1280
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: season where the season could go left, it could go right,

1281
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 1: it could go a lot of different ways. And I

1282
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 1: think if you asked everybody in the locker room, they

1283
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: might all have a different answer to be go talked

1284
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: about the Jacksonville game and that, But then for you

1285
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:44,439
Speaker 1: guys up front, it may have been the Tampa game.

1286
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 1: The Tampa game, looking back, I would imagine not one

1287
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 1: of the best games you guys have.

1288
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 2: Played this year.

1289
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 1: What did you guys kind of learn from that game

1290
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 1: and take out of that game that you then applied

1291
01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 1: to every other game the rest of the year and

1292
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 1: said that ain't have against us.

1293
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 13: It was a run game. It was honestly the run

1294
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 13: game we were. We winning that game with confidence, knowing

1295
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 13: that we felt good coming out of camp and going

1296
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 13: into the Rams game and they were able to run

1297
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 13: the ball on us. Some of our fits were off

1298
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 13: and some of our technique was off, and I felt

1299
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 13: like going we the very next week, We're going into

1300
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 13: the number one rushing offense in the NFL at the

1301
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 13: time in Jacksonville, and we wanted to go in that

1302
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 13: game like, hey, we you are not running the ball

1303
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 13: on us, and to lead that game, even with the loss,

1304
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 13: confident that we can stop a team from running the

1305
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 13: ball when we want to. It was was really, like

1306
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 13: you said, it really started something. We felt like we

1307
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 13: rushed the passer well enough that game, but we felt

1308
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 13: like we were we were behind the chains and a

1309
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 13: lot of situations in Tampa because we were they were

1310
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 13: able to run the ball. And so that definitely was

1311
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 13: something that uh that we put a notch on our

1312
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 13: belt in that game, even though we did not win,

1313
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 13: and and We've carried that into into the rest of

1314
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 13: the season, and our our group is really motivated. We

1315
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 13: have very high standards. We know when we've missed the

1316
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 13: missed the standard. No one has to tell us. I

1317
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 13: don't have to tell them. You know what I'm saying.

1318
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 8: They they know.

1319
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 13: And so at the end of the day, Uh, we

1320
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 13: just we always want to always want to do our best.

1321
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:27,920
Speaker 13: We always want to put our best foot forward and

1322
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 13: play winning football at the end, you know, because we

1323
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 13: we we looked at the Tampa game, you look at

1324
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 13: the Rams game.

1325
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 8: All of us walked away.

1326
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 13: You're a play away from winning winning both of those games,

1327
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 13: play away from winning Jacksonville. So at the end of

1328
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 13: the day, we're in positions to win football games. We

1329
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 13: got to finish and and that's why I believe we

1330
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 13: didn't panic, and none of the other guys in locker

1331
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 13: room panic and just stuck to the process.

1332
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 2: Excellent coach, Thanks a lot for joining us, Good luck,

1333
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you, great stuff from Rod. Right we

1334
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 2: get back, we'll go around the NFL. A lot of

1335
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 2: coaching changes happening. We'll have those for you next right

1336
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 2: here in Texas all Access.

1337
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, here we go Monday edition of Texas All

1338
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:17,639
Speaker 1: Access from the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host,

1339
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 1: John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter.

1340
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:20,679
Speaker 2: Boy.

1341
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:23,640
Speaker 1: A lot has been happening in the NFL today. We

1342
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:28,920
Speaker 1: call it Black Monday, and it's well because it's bleak

1343
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,599
Speaker 1: for a lot of people. Now going into Black Monday,

1344
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:36,600
Speaker 1: we knew there were two head coaching openings heading in.

1345
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: You had the Tennessee Titans, that was from a while ago.

1346
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 1: You already had the New York Giants added to the

1347
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,040
Speaker 1: list today. I don't think any of these are a surprise,

1348
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:52,879
Speaker 1: but some were kind of like huh, Arizona Cardinals Johnathan Gannett.

1349
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 1: Now we saw the Cardinals a few weeks ago. They

1350
01:08:55,600 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 1: had all kinds of injuries. Kyler Murray's status injury not.

1351
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that helped matters. It felt like after

1352
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 1: the the Willy Anderson trade, Will Anderson and Kayln Bullock trade,

1353
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 1: I should say that the Cardinals will start turning the corner.

1354
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 2: That hasn't happened.

1355
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,760
Speaker 1: Kris Jonathan gannon his job, Manti Asin fort GM, he

1356
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: will stay, he will find a new coach.

1357
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 2: Raiders fired Pete Carrot one year.

1358
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 1: It's all he got Tom Brady, John spytech to GM

1359
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:22,720
Speaker 1: will lead the way and trying to find a new coach.

1360
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 1: So I find strange that Brady's doing it. But whatever,

1361
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you got Troy Ake been helping the Dolphins.

1362
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 8: What are you gonna do?

1363
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 1: Giants and the next one are connected Cleveland Browns. I

1364
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:36,639
Speaker 1: say they're connected because Kevin Stefanski fired. But the Giants,

1365
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:39,759
Speaker 1: the Falcons, and Titans have all inquired on Stefanski already.

1366
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:40,839
Speaker 2: Already.

1367
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 1: I think that one was coming down the down the

1368
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 1: pike and everybody kind of saw it coming. But if

1369
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:48,559
Speaker 1: I Kevin Stefanski, I'm kind of like, good, I'm out

1370
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:50,679
Speaker 1: of this. I'm out of this mess what they handed

1371
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 1: him and what he had to try and deal with.

1372
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 1: Then Cleveland it's a mess.

1373
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 6: Uh.

1374
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:59,679
Speaker 2: And then the Atlanta Falcons fired Raheem Morris and GM Terry.

1375
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:06,679
Speaker 1: Fountaineau Falcons full full front office and head coaching reset

1376
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 1: there now, GMS, I met you. Terry Fino, he fired,

1377
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 1: he was fired. Miami Dolphins GM Chris Career he was

1378
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: fired as well. But that was a while back. So

1379
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 1: you've got two four six head coaching openings. You got

1380
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:23,759
Speaker 1: two GM openings at this point. So things move fast

1381
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 1: and furious, as you know.

1382
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:30,200
Speaker 2: In the NFL. So we'll see where those teams take it.

1383
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 1: They're already interviewing or not interviewing, their accepting interviews in

1384
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: Tennessee Ce Spagnolo and Matt Nagy, Lou Andrumo, defense coordinator

1389
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 1: There's no better way to close down this Monday show

1390
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: than our discussion with Demico Rides. If you missed it,

1391
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,200

Speaker 1: hear it, well you can hear it again because it's

1393
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 1: absolutely fantabulous.

1394
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 3: Coach, We're gonna talk a lot about the victory over

1395
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 3: Endy to wrap up the regular season, but it's so

1396
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 3: special to be in the postseason. Over half the league

1397
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 3: is done. The Texans move on your thoughts.

1398
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 14: Couldn't be more proud of our team right to earn

1399
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,679
Speaker 14: the right to be in the playoffs and to still

1400
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 14: be working. It's fun, it's exciting, and it's something you

1401
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 14: earn and you can't. No one can take that away

1402
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 14: from you. So I'm excited. Man, That's what you work for.

1403
01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:39,519
Speaker 14: You work hard in training camp thinking about these moments

1404
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:42,560
Speaker 14: like how do you persevere throughout the season, how do

1405
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 14: you weather the storm of you know, injuries and different

1406
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 14: things losses, Like how do you weather the storm to

1407
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 14: still be ready to roll in the playoffs having the

1408
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 14: majority of your guys, having them available and ready to

1409
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:58,480
Speaker 14: go in the playoffs.

1410
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 4: Man, I couldn't be more right now the coach I.

1411
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 1: Want to ask you about and actually this after the game, yes,

1412
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: but we don't go into it a little bit.

1413
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:08,600
Speaker 2: How difficult to challenge this was?

1414
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 1: You know, you're in the playoffs, you knew there's a

1415
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:14,439
Speaker 1: shot at the division, but then there's a Jacksonville game,

1416
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 1: the Titans game. You knew you wanted to keep guys healthy,

1417
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 1: but yet you still wanted your team to compete. You

1418
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 1: got all these kind of cross streams going on. How

1419
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 1: tough was it to kind of get through the week,

1420
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:27,800
Speaker 1: get through that moment of we got to compete, but

1421
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,760
Speaker 1: you know what, I gotta get some guys, maybe some rest.

1422
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 1: Gets gonna look at some other guys in case you

1423
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 1: got to go to them in the playoffs. How tough

1424
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 1: was it to kind of get through the week and

1425
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 1: through Sunday. Yeah, it takes me back to.

1426
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 14: Like the Raiders week where it's kind of like one

1427
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 14: of those weeks that's challenging from a standpoint of you know,

1428
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 14: how do you motivate the guys, get them up and

1429
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 14: going knowing that, oh, you feel like, oh, we should

1430
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 14: beat this team. We're playing the Raiders and now you

1431
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 14: play the coach like, oh, well, we really don't have

1432
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:55,760
Speaker 14: anything to play for.

1433
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 4: Well, how do you motivate them to get the guys.

1434
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:00,680
Speaker 14: Going, Hey, well, we don't know what's gonna happen in

1435
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 14: the game, you know, versus the Titans and the jack

1436
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 14: So we got to go for it right. We don't

1437
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 14: want to sit here and not go for it and

1438
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:11,839
Speaker 14: look up it's like, oh, something wild happened and Tennessee

1439
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 14: beat Jacksonville and we missed an opportunity to win our division.

1440
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 14: So the mindset of the mentality was we're going for

1441
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 14: it right, and we'll see where where we end up.

1442
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 14: And you know, Jacksonville got up pretty good, but it's

1443
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 14: still for me and my seat. I'm never going into

1444
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 14: any competition you know to lose, all right, I'm playing

1445
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 14: checkers at home with my kids.

1446
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:36,639
Speaker 4: I like, we're playing checkers. I'm trying to win. I'm

1447
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:41,440
Speaker 4: trying to win. No, go trying to win. I'm a competitor.

1448
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 14: So even though you know you have that moment, Okay, man,

1449
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 14: the Jacks are up pretty good.

1450
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 8: That game is over.

1451
01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 14: Like, man, I still struggle with taking our guys out, right,

1452
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 14: but I knew I had to do it. I knew

1453
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:55,600
Speaker 14: it was the right decision to try to get some

1454
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 14: guys out, But man, I still want.

1455
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:58,679
Speaker 8: To win the game.

1456
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 14: Like, I'm not even here letting Indy come in our

1457
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 14: house and in their season on a good note by

1458
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,680
Speaker 14: by beating us. I'm not going out that way. And

1459
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 14: so I'm so happy for all the guys who got in.

1460
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:14,759
Speaker 14: It took everybody, different guys and different moments. Man stood

1461
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 14: up and made the plays we needed to make to

1462
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,559
Speaker 14: win the game. So it was such an exciting win

1463
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 14: to ended how we ended it was. It was a

1464
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 14: really exciting victory and I'm so happy that we won

1465
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 14: that game.

1466
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 2: Tell us about your new defensive end to EJ Speed.

1467
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 8: There. Yeah, it was.

1468
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 4: That was one just in the moment that happened.

1469
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 14: Barnett, he was he was gassed at the time because

1470
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,680
Speaker 14: we took Will and the kneel off and Barnett was

1471
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 14: rolling him, and Barnett and de Horton they were rolling

1472
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 14: on the this. I was like, man, it's a lot

1473
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:49,840
Speaker 14: of reps, and Barnett just couldn't go anymore. So it's like,

1474
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 14: who's EJ.

1475
01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 4: Get out there?

1476
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 7: Go?

1477
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 4: EJ looks back at me like really, coach, like just

1478
01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 4: go set the edge.

1479
01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 8: I know you can do it.

1480
01:14:58,080 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 14: So EJ got out there for a couple of rep.

1481
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:03,599
Speaker 14: It just show man team players, right, that's what you need.

1482
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:06,720
Speaker 14: You need guys who are willing to do whatever it

1483
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 14: takes right to get it done. In such a wile moment,

1484
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 14: you know, we don't have everybody available, but EJ step stuff,

1485
01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 14: goes out, plays a few snaps of defensive end.

1486
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 4: Actually did a good job backside of closing on one place,

1487
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:20,599
Speaker 4: So credit to EJ.

1488
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 3: Flashback twenty eleven season finale, first Texans playoff team. It's

1489
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 3: the Week seventeen game at the time, doesn't really help

1490
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 3: the Texans, but Garrett Graham ends up playing a little

1491
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 3: defensive end in that game because Kubiak was trying to

1492
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 3: put it all together. Similar situation running out of bodies.

1493
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,080
Speaker 3: You only have so many players you can use, you know, I.

1494
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:44,240
Speaker 14: Did think about that throughout this week. I thought about this, like, man,

1495
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 14: who else could play defense for US? I can use

1496
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 14: British or Harrison. I'm trying to think of the offensive

1497
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 14: guys that I maybe would have had to pull over

1498
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:53,080
Speaker 14: and play defense.

1499
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 8: But good thing we didn't get to that moment.

1500
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up British. Yeah, because he gets

1501
01:15:58,080 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 1: in there. You know, first couple of carries that can

1502
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 1: get a whole lot and kind of the second one

1503
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 1: got stuffed. But then he has that run coach off

1504
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 1: to the left where he kind of sliced in between

1505
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 1: those two Colts defenders and you saw man a little

1506
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 1: bit of burst.

1507
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 2: He really came in and gave you something. Would you

1508
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 2: see from British Hunton?

1509
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, Man, I was really excited to see some of

1510
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:17,880
Speaker 14: the runs that he had, specifically that twenty yard run there.

1511
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 4: He did exactly what you want to do as a run.

1512
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 14: He did a great job of pressing the outside and

1513
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:24,560
Speaker 14: I call it you slash, you make one cut and

1514
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 14: you get vertical. It was a really nice run by

1515
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 14: him to get a big twenty yard game we needed

1516
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 14: the most and Kayler's like, let's just keep giving it

1517
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 14: to him. So he had run after run. He had

1518
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 14: a nice little spin move about four plays later, so

1519
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 14: he did. He did a really nice job of taking

1520
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 14: advantage of the opportunities he had. Had some really nice

1521
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 14: runs there to really put us in position to close

1522
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 14: that game out.

1523
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:49,599
Speaker 3: What he ran well for you in the first half, coach,

1524
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:52,400
Speaker 3: and he's got that lateral quickness. Can you talk about

1525
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:54,400
Speaker 3: his style a little bit and how it's developed over

1526
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 3: the course of the year.

1527
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 14: He does what he does, have his little jump cut

1528
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,160
Speaker 14: a little you know, he mixed guys miss in the

1529
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 14: whole a little bit, and it's uh, each that's the

1530
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 14: cool thing about running backs.

1531
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:07,680
Speaker 4: Each guy has his own little unique style that you

1532
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:08,639
Speaker 4: really can't teach.

1533
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 14: Guys, you know, like Jawar he's more of a speed

1534
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 14: one cut guy, and you get Woody he can make

1535
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:17,880
Speaker 14: guys miss with the lateral quickness that he has. And

1536
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 14: Tubb comes in just pounding getting five yards of carry.

1537
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 14: So it's really cool. You got guys, especially defensively, trying

1538
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 14: to defend different running backs and different running styles. It

1539
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 14: really when you mix it up on guys with which

1540
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 14: guys in it makes it tough on defenders as well.

1541
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 1: What kind of styler is new running back Tommy Tokya

1542
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 1: guy downhill Man, Coach, we saw him. I saw him

1543
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 1: go in the huddle and I immediately like Mark toky

1544
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: ice in thinking full back and then he doesn't get

1545
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 1: the touchdown there, but he gets on the last play

1546
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:50,920
Speaker 1: of the game.

1547
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 2: I thought it was a great story.

1548
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: You told me after the game about the emotional outburst

1549
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:59,560
Speaker 1: basically from the sideline and everybody in the stadium was

1550
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:03,080
Speaker 1: going crazy in that and what led to that kind

1551
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 1: of emotional moment for everybody, everybody kind of celebrating with

1552
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:09,040
Speaker 1: Tommy doing his you know, ask for Samoe and uh

1553
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, uh celebration.

1554
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 2: What was that like for you? Kind of watching it

1555
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,200
Speaker 2: all unfold seeing him get in the end zone.

1556
01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 14: Man, it was such a cool moment because as a coach,

1557
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,559
Speaker 14: r you, man, my mind is always racing throughout the week,

1558
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 14: and you know, coach Papa Viz comes and was like, man,

1559
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 14: can we use Tommy on a short yard? And I'm like,

1560
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:32,000
Speaker 14: of course, that's that guy. He's very dependable. He's gonna

1561
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 14: do We ask him to do. Of course, let's use

1562
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:36,719
Speaker 14: Tommy and let's make sure he gets one to carry

1563
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 14: as well. So we had him a couple of plays,

1564
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:41,760
Speaker 14: or he had him blocking, you know, on the goal line.

1565
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:45,639
Speaker 14: And when we got the when we got when Danil

1566
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 14: got the strip sack, Henry scooped up the fumble and

1567
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 14: we're there close to one or two yard line. I

1568
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 14: don't even remember. I just started telling Kay, hey, put Tommy.

1569
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 14: Let's make sure we get gets Tommy touchdown. Because I

1570
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 14: told the guys on Friday practice. After Friday's right, is

1571
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 14: when we ran those plays, and I told the entire

1572
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 14: team after I brought them up, I was like, man, look,

1573
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 14: I know guys get excited for touchdowns, but when Tommy

1574
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 14: gets his touchdown, our whole team is going to be

1575
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 14: fired up, and I want everybody throwing it, throwing up

1576
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:20,760
Speaker 14: the celebration. And so I thought it would happen a

1577
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 14: little earlier on the on the fullback dive play.

1578
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:25,120
Speaker 8: It didn't happen.

1579
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:27,400
Speaker 14: In so it's very fitting that at the end of

1580
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 14: the game, the last play, Tommy gets it. And that's

1581
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 14: why our sideline just they erupted everybody. I mean, we

1582
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 14: got coaches trainers everything. Let's see everybody running down there.

1583
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:40,040
Speaker 8: Were you down there? Saw you down there?

1584
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have but yeah, no it was.

1585
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 4: It was such a man, it's such a cool moment.

1586
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 14: I just want a big picture of I want that

1587
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:50,639
Speaker 14: frame of that last play of our regular season.

1588
01:19:50,800 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 8: Whatever.

1589
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 4: The excitement and joy on everyone's face.

1590
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 2: That's great, coach.

1591
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:57,400
Speaker 3: When you have that element that you install into a

1592
01:19:57,479 --> 01:20:00,639
Speaker 3: game plan and it is in there, does that help

1593
01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 3: keep guys loose?

1594
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 2: They're looking forward to that moment.

1595
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:06,280
Speaker 3: It's something extra for them in addition to everything else,

1596
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:07,760
Speaker 3: all the hard work they have to go through to

1597
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:08,559
Speaker 3: get ready for a game.

1598
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:11,839
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, it definitely. It definitely makes the defensive players

1599
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:14,040
Speaker 14: perk up. So now they're up, they're not sitting on

1600
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 14: the sideline like, hey Tommy is in. Well Tommy was

1601
01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 14: actually on the defensive snap and then he's running towards

1602
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:21,200
Speaker 14: the sideline.

1603
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:22,599
Speaker 4: I was like, no, you stay out there.

1604
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,600
Speaker 14: So all the defensive guys want to They perk up

1605
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 14: and they're excited to see you know him get it,

1606
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:30,080
Speaker 14: get in, get in on offense and try to make

1607
01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:32,600
Speaker 14: a play. You know, I know it's another guy that

1608
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 14: used to play here, that used to get a lot

1609
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:37,559
Speaker 14: of offensive players. JJ Watt, you know, scored a lot

1610
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:39,280
Speaker 14: in the red zone, made a lot of big plays.

1611
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 8: Didn't worry We.

1612
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 1: Didn't worry you with the defensive players knocking at Nick

1613
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 1: Kelly's door this morning, what do you what do you

1614
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:45,680
Speaker 1: got for me?

1615
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:47,439
Speaker 8: What do you got from me? What can I what

1616
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 8: can I do?

1617
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 4: I got to show that they can catch the ball,

1618
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:51,559
Speaker 4: all right?

1619
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,800
Speaker 1: Definitely not There's definitely not a guy that did catch

1620
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 1: the ball. And I told Mark this this stat today,

1621
01:20:57,160 --> 01:21:00,559
Speaker 1: which I think is unbelievable that a lot Ja Huzzy

1622
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:04,760
Speaker 1: has more interceptions in twenty twenty five than the entire

1623
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:07,760
Speaker 1: New York Jets defense did, which is amazing to think

1624
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: about it.

1625
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:10,679
Speaker 2: But he gets an interception yesterday.

1626
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 1: We haven't seen Elijah for a long time, to be

1627
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:14,640
Speaker 1: dealing with injuries and then kind of getting him on

1628
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 1: the field.

1629
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 2: But he went on a field yesterday. He's a rookie.

1630
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 2: I'm sure things are flying a million miles an hour.

1631
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:21,280
Speaker 1: And I thought it was interesting because I asked him

1632
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 1: about going out in the field, and you know, the

1633
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:27,400
Speaker 1: expectation not being well, you know, you're.

1634
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 2: A rookie, just go out there.

1635
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 1: No, the expectation was you go up there and you

1636
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:32,160
Speaker 1: play like a Texan, and he said he kind of

1637
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:35,519
Speaker 1: felt that that pressure, that responsibility to do that. Would

1638
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 1: you think watching him out there for a few snaps,

1639
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 1: the rookie gett an interception a big time Yeah.

1640
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 4: Really impressive story for Eliza. Mean, we we got Eliza.

1641
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:44,599
Speaker 8: He was he was hurt.

1642
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 14: You know, they're in the draft and so we're really

1643
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 14: thinking Eliza will be a probably a next year player

1644
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 14: for us.

1645
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:52,680
Speaker 4: But he did such a great job, you know, in his.

1646
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 14: Rehab process, working hard, putting himself in position to go

1647
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,719
Speaker 14: out and competing when he got on the practice Fielity

1648
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:00,600
Speaker 14: did a lot of good things and so you know

1649
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 14: he earned an opportunity to go play. And when he

1650
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:05,679
Speaker 14: went out there, I thought he played fast, he played physical,

1651
01:22:06,160 --> 01:22:09,560
Speaker 14: he flew around how Texan should fly around. And you know,

1652
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 14: he made the huge interception for us. And also he

1653
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 14: made another huge play in the red zone where he's

1654
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 14: chasing down their receiver to you know, tackle him, knock

1655
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:20,040
Speaker 14: him out of bounds to force him to have to

1656
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:21,120
Speaker 14: kick a field goal there.

1657
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 4: You know, their their last drive.

1658
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 14: So two huge plays in the game comes from a

1659
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 14: rookie who hasn't got many reps, but he stepped in

1660
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 14: and he knew one thing, You're gonna play fast, You're

1661
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 14: gonna play physical, and great things happen because of that.

1662
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:37,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, And Johnny mentioned Rod Right. We talked to him

1663
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:38,719
Speaker 2: last week and he brought.

1664
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:40,720
Speaker 3: Up a great point that if you don't do what

1665
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 3: you're supposed to do the way you want them to

1666
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:45,760
Speaker 3: do it, coach, you're gonna stand out like a sore thumb.

1667
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:46,679
Speaker 2: That's what he said.

1668
01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 3: And is that sort of an accountability to each other

1669
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:52,240
Speaker 3: that they have, and that's really what you want, right

1670
01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:55,320
Speaker 3: for them to be accountable to the players, not just

1671
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:55,880
Speaker 3: the coaches.

1672
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:58,559
Speaker 14: Yeah, for sure, I want our guys to be accountable

1673
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:01,559
Speaker 14: to each other. Every single snap is not I tell

1674
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 14: a guy, it's not about me. It's not about us

1675
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 14: as coaches. So I put on displays like, hey, what

1676
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 14: are you supposed.

1677
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 4: To be doing and why are you not doing it?

1678
01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 14: By you not doing what you're supposed to do, it's

1679
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:16,800
Speaker 14: not about like you're letting your teammate down, Like if

1680
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,559
Speaker 14: he was thinking, you're supposed to be in this position

1681
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 14: and you're not. You're supposed to make this specific check

1682
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:25,920
Speaker 14: or alert and you didn't like, you're letting your teammates down.

1683
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:29,160
Speaker 14: I want to put that pressure on them, on the

1684
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:32,719
Speaker 14: guys to let them know like, man, well I can't

1685
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:35,719
Speaker 14: do that. I'm putting everybody else in a bad spot.

1686
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 14: Nothing to do with coaches, but it's about the team

1687
01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 14: and their teammates, Like you don't want to be that

1688
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:45,639
Speaker 14: guy that I have to highlight, unfortunately in a team meeting,

1689
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 14: because if it's something you're not doing that we don't coach,

1690
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,240
Speaker 14: or something that we've talked about over and over again

1691
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:54,920
Speaker 14: and you're not doing it right. Man, No, get it right,

1692
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:58,120
Speaker 14: so you can put stuff on tape that your teammates

1693
01:23:58,160 --> 01:23:58,800
Speaker 14: can be proud of.

1694
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 1: Interesting moment ended up being a third down offensively that

1695
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:03,680
Speaker 1: we didn't get.

1696
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 2: But I think it was like third and seven.

1697
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:08,479
Speaker 1: We were going, we were going left to right, and

1698
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:11,519
Speaker 1: the Colts showed, they showed pressure. They were showing seven

1699
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 1: at the last scrimmage that everybody up there and buying them.

1700
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:16,920
Speaker 1: I remember was on the left side and as CJ

1701
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:19,920
Speaker 1: is trying to evaluate what's going on, he moved Dar

1702
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:22,760
Speaker 1: to the other side, and I guess he thought biding

1703
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:24,679
Speaker 1: them was gonna end up dropping. Well, bid them blitzed,

1704
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:27,800
Speaker 1: they dropped on the other end. After the incompletion, I

1705
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 1: could see CJ was probably more mad about that play

1706
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:33,640
Speaker 1: than I had seen him about other plays, And it

1707
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:35,519
Speaker 1: got me thinking about and I think it's a good

1708
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 1: question to ask you. When you were a player, you

1709
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: obviously made a ton of tackles all over the place,

1710
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:43,720
Speaker 1: But I get the impression watching CJ, like he's more

1711
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:46,920
Speaker 1: happy when he sees a check, he sees something he

1712
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:49,400
Speaker 1: uses his football IQ to beat a team and not

1713
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 1: just with his arm. Were you that way as a player,

1714
01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:54,720
Speaker 1: Like if you checked to a play as opposed to, yeah,

1715
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 1: you ran a bunch of guys down and made tackles,

1716
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:57,960
Speaker 1: but when you checked to a play and then that

1717
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:00,680
Speaker 1: check worked against the off answer? Is that kind of

1718
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 1: what you just's going through right now, kind of that

1719
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:04,800
Speaker 1: cerebral game that he's playing in his head too.

1720
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 14: Yeah, those are the plays I feel like as players,

1721
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:10,000
Speaker 14: you get most excited about the mental, the cerebral plays

1722
01:25:10,080 --> 01:25:12,519
Speaker 14: where you know you're gonna make the athletic plays.

1723
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:14,719
Speaker 4: You've done that like your entire life.

1724
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:17,599
Speaker 14: That's why you're in the NFL because of your athletic

1725
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:20,720
Speaker 14: ability and the physical traits that you have. But when

1726
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 14: you study a team all week, right, and you know

1727
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:26,920
Speaker 14: this specific look that you've seen on tape, you've study,

1728
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:30,559
Speaker 14: you walk through it, you've went through the checks, and then.

1729
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:32,560
Speaker 4: You get that look in the game and it's like,

1730
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 4: oh man, this is it.

1731
01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:36,400
Speaker 14: Like and you make the proper check to put your

1732
01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 14: team in a position to make a play like those

1733
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:41,560
Speaker 14: are the plays you get. Yeah, I will say you

1734
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 14: get a little extra fired up for because it was

1735
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 14: like that chess matching. It's like, oh, I got you,

1736
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:50,559
Speaker 14: I got you moment from a mental standpoint, that gets

1737
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 14: you fired up, right, And from that look. They had

1738
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 14: a lot of zero pressure looks that we had practiced

1739
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 14: throughout the week, and we had a lot of different

1740
01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:01,000
Speaker 14: answers for the zeros, and they dropped out on that

1741
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 14: specific one and we didn't. I think CJ is probably

1742
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:05,360
Speaker 14: more frustrated at all.

1743
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:05,599
Speaker 6: Man.

1744
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:08,639
Speaker 4: That was a look that they kind of they got

1745
01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:10,400
Speaker 4: us on. You know, we thought it was zero but

1746
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:10,880
Speaker 4: it wasn't.

1747
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:12,880
Speaker 14: So it's a good job by the Colts of actually

1748
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 14: mixing up their look and switching it up in that moment.

1749
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 3: Coach having been to the postseason with a lot of

1750
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 3: these guys before and having a quarterback making his fifth

1751
01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 3: Playoffs start.

1752
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:23,200
Speaker 2: You're on the road.

1753
01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 3: You've played on the road in cold weather before, you

1754
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:27,760
Speaker 3: won a game in cold weather this year. How much

1755
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:31,720
Speaker 3: does all of that help as you venture to Pittsburgh.

1756
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 14: And Mark, I'm hoping it helps a lot, man, because

1757
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:37,559
Speaker 14: I can't say we haven't been there, done that, right.

1758
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 14: You can't say we've been on the road in a

1759
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:43,240
Speaker 14: tough environment and like we've been. We've been on the road,

1760
01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 14: tough environments, cold you, no, tough crowd, like we've seen

1761
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 14: all of that for the past couple of years, right,

1762
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,760
Speaker 14: and some of them we didn't come out on top,

1763
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:56,160
Speaker 14: and we know what we needed to do to correct that.

1764
01:26:56,680 --> 01:26:58,840
Speaker 14: And you know, this year thought we did a really

1765
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:01,640
Speaker 14: good job of going up the Kansas City, tough environment,

1766
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:03,160
Speaker 14: a lot on the line, we found.

1767
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:03,720
Speaker 8: A way to get a win.

1768
01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 14: And so now it's like, man, we're here, We're going

1769
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 14: to Pittsburgh House.

1770
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 8: What you want.

1771
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:13,320
Speaker 14: It's such a historic plays, great tradition, great fans. We

1772
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:15,519
Speaker 14: get the opportunity to go there on the road. It's

1773
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 14: gonna be cold, it's gonna be out there, like, let's go.

1774
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:20,759
Speaker 14: It's time for the Texans to put it all together

1775
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 14: in the show that hey, we can go win our

1776
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:27,680
Speaker 14: game on the road in a tough environment in the playoffs, Like,

1777
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 14: let's go get it done.

1778
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:29,400
Speaker 8: Coach.

1779
01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 1: I know you haven't had time, as none of us

1780
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:34,720
Speaker 1: have to get through Steelers scouting reports and all that,

1781
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 1: But you do do the guy pulling the trigger fac

1782
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 1: him last year? You face him as a player, and

1783
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 1: that being Aaron Rodgers. Some of the throws he made

1784
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:45,600
Speaker 1: last night, it's like, well, that's Aaron Rodgers. We know

1785
01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:49,720
Speaker 1: yet he's forty two, yep, whatever the case might be.

1786
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 1: What her thoughts about facing a guy that's got a

1787
01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 1: lot of rings around the tree. But man, he's won

1788
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:56,120
Speaker 1: some games, he's made some throws, and he's done that

1789
01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 1: against us at times too.

1790
01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:01,439
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, Aaron's he's a Hall of Fame quarterback.

1791
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 14: He's won the Super Bowl, He's been at the highest level, right,

1792
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 14: and he's done that because he's such.

1793
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:08,960
Speaker 4: A cerebral guy that we talked about already.

1794
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 14: He's very smart, understands disguises, understands coverages, knows the weakness

1795
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:16,640
Speaker 14: and stuff those coverages and where you're supposed to be.

1796
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 14: So for us, you know, as you face them for

1797
01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 14: our defense, like guys just have to understand it's not.

1798
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 4: About Aaron Rodgers.

1799
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:28,840
Speaker 14: It's just about playing your defense. How we play defense, like,

1800
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 14: make him have to deal with us. Yes, they're good players.

1801
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:33,960
Speaker 14: He's a good They got a good team, good offensive unit.

1802
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:36,600
Speaker 14: We have a good defense. Like, that's going to be

1803
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:39,599
Speaker 14: the matchup. Like, and can we make him play? Can

1804
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:42,760
Speaker 14: we force make can we you know, force him to

1805
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:45,160
Speaker 14: be under some durest Can we make him make some

1806
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:48,000
Speaker 14: bad decisions, make some bad throws, and can we capitalize

1807
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 14: on those?

1808
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:50,200
Speaker 4: So it's a good challenge for us.

1809
01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 14: They'll get Metcalf back who's been a good, you know,

1810
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:56,360
Speaker 14: outside receiver, made a lot of big plays. But man,

1811
01:28:56,439 --> 01:29:00,280
Speaker 14: I'm excited for our guys to get this opportunity going against.

1812
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:02,280
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers, one of the best quarterbacks played the game.

1813
01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:05,120
Speaker 2: I like that it's a five star matchup because we're there.

1814
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:07,839
Speaker 1: That's used to like they like to use that slogan

1815
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:10,439
Speaker 1: back in eight it's a five star matchup because we're

1816
01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:10,680
Speaker 1: in it.

1817
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 2: So I'd like to thought, Hey, it's a five star

1818
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:13,800
Speaker 2: matchup because we're in.

1819
01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 8: You know it.

1820
01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:17,320
Speaker 3: Coach, one of your big weapons is Kaemi Fairbairn, who

1821
01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:21,000
Speaker 3: drilled six field goals in the regular season finale, amazing

1822
01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 3: stuff throughout the course of the season, and you needed

1823
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:25,800
Speaker 3: almost every one of his field goals and then something

1824
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:28,519
Speaker 3: from Matthew Wright as well to get to where you are.

1825
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 3: And now you go to Pittsburgh, which is a tough

1826
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 3: place to kick. Boswell's been there for a century, But

1827
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:35,600
Speaker 3: there were miskicks in the Sunday Night game. Can you

1828
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:37,800
Speaker 3: go over the process of how these guys get accustomed

1829
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:40,719
Speaker 3: to the environment with the operation with Brinkman and Tommy

1830
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:43,280
Speaker 3: Townsend and Emy, and how they go about their business

1831
01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:45,240
Speaker 3: to be prepared for these situations.

1832
01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:49,439
Speaker 14: Yeah, for our specialists, man, it's I mean, nobody practiced

1833
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 14: as much as their as much on their craft as

1834
01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:55,080
Speaker 14: those guys. Like when you talk about the snap, the hole,

1835
01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:58,160
Speaker 14: the kick, like why does it look so automatic.

1836
01:29:57,920 --> 01:30:00,080
Speaker 8: In these games? Those guys are all while we're.

1837
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:03,960
Speaker 14: Doing offensive defensive reps, they're off on another field. They're

1838
01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:08,000
Speaker 14: working their snap coach Ross and Will. They're working with

1839
01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:10,360
Speaker 14: those guys on all the different trying to make it

1840
01:30:10,560 --> 01:30:13,200
Speaker 14: tough on them as best as possible, walking in front

1841
01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:16,000
Speaker 14: of Emmy to make it make it hard, make the kicks.

1842
01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:18,880
Speaker 4: As tough as possible. And you know, it takes a

1843
01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:19,479
Speaker 4: lot of work.

1844
01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:21,720
Speaker 14: It takes a lot of time, and they put the

1845
01:30:21,840 --> 01:30:24,559
Speaker 14: time in to make it look easy, like you don't

1846
01:30:24,640 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 14: you kick six field goals and they make it look easy.

1847
01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:30,040
Speaker 14: Those guys spend a lot of time to make it

1848
01:30:30,120 --> 01:30:32,599
Speaker 14: look that way, and it's going to be for them.

1849
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:33,040
Speaker 8: You know.

1850
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 14: We go into you know, a game on a road

1851
01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:39,639
Speaker 14: like those guys are out there before everybody else comes

1852
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:42,000
Speaker 14: on the field. They're out there. They're checking the weather,

1853
01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:45,360
Speaker 14: checking the win to see what those conditions are and

1854
01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:47,960
Speaker 14: how they have to make some adjustments as well. So

1855
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:53,520
Speaker 14: very prepared, very detailed, very hard workers in the background

1856
01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:55,840
Speaker 14: a lot. But when the game is on the line,

1857
01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 14: as we saw last night, I mean, their kicker goes

1858
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:02,600
Speaker 14: down and never like he misses the extra point and

1859
01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:06,439
Speaker 14: Baltimore makes a huge play on fourth down and seven

1860
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:08,680
Speaker 14: to get them in rains and they're kicker mi. So

1861
01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:12,519
Speaker 14: Emy's done a great job of making it look easy.

1862
01:31:12,680 --> 01:31:16,879
Speaker 14: But we know in all those even in inside outside,

1863
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:19,840
Speaker 14: it doesn't matter, those are always tough plays to make,

1864
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:22,720
Speaker 14: and we're thankful to have Emy because he makes it

1865
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:24,760
Speaker 14: look so he makes it look so easy, but we

1866
01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:27,000
Speaker 14: know he does a he has a really tough job

1867
01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:29,800
Speaker 14: and we're very thankful for him. And like you said,

1868
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:32,679
Speaker 14: our season wouldn't have gone away is gone without him

1869
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:34,760
Speaker 14: scoring the points that he scored for us.

1870
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:37,560
Speaker 1: Coach, I know where and when does it matter to

1871
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:41,160
Speaker 1: you take this ball club anywhere? Anytime play football game.

1872
01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:44,479
Speaker 1: Does it help to have like typically play at Saturday

1873
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:46,320
Speaker 1: at three thirty. I think that's well known. But now

1874
01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:48,240
Speaker 1: we're playing Monday at eight o'clock. You got a couple

1875
01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:51,799
Speaker 1: more days to kind of let some bumps and bruises

1876
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:54,120
Speaker 1: heal a little bit. I mean, in a sense, does

1877
01:31:54,160 --> 01:31:56,720
Speaker 1: that help a little bit to play Monday night, to

1878
01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:58,800
Speaker 1: have a little extra time after a long season.

1879
01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:01,000
Speaker 14: I think it does help. Get in an extra day

1880
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:03,680
Speaker 14: of rest. I think it does help us as a

1881
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:05,880
Speaker 14: team and to get our guys out in the game

1882
01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:08,439
Speaker 14: on Sunday health So you know, we should be well

1883
01:32:08,560 --> 01:32:11,439
Speaker 14: rested and our guys should be feeling good going in

1884
01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:13,840
Speaker 14: on Monday night. I mean, that's that's how you want

1885
01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:16,240
Speaker 14: to be going in the postseason. So we're in a

1886
01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:19,160
Speaker 14: good spot health wise. So and now it's a matter

1887
01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:20,519
Speaker 14: of going out and just playing well.

1888
01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:23,719
Speaker 2: I know all the players, coaches, you like your routines, habits,

1889
01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:27,400
Speaker 2: et cetera. Playoffs? Is it important to keep it the same?

1890
01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:29,360
Speaker 2: Do you take it up and notch?

1891
01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:32,320
Speaker 3: How do you handle it, coach, Because everybody's gonna try

1892
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:34,240
Speaker 3: to take it up a notch on the field, So

1893
01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:36,439
Speaker 3: what do you do to make sure you're ready for

1894
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:36,920
Speaker 3: that moment?

1895
01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:39,200
Speaker 14: Yeah, we keep it all the same, Like as we

1896
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:42,120
Speaker 14: mentioned here before on the show, Like because it's a

1897
01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:45,559
Speaker 14: Monday game, we'll kind of push it out and make sure,

1898
01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:48,679
Speaker 14: you know, we keep our week as normal as possible.

1899
01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:51,600
Speaker 14: So our normal work week will start on Thursday and

1900
01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:55,639
Speaker 14: we'll we'll go from there. I think as athletes becal

1901
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:58,960
Speaker 14: professional athletes, you get into your routine and your habits,

1902
01:32:59,120 --> 01:33:02,000
Speaker 14: and you never want to throw guys off of their routine.

1903
01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:03,720
Speaker 14: So that's why I try to keep our schedule as

1904
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:06,559
Speaker 14: normal as possible. But we should get some well needed

1905
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:10,800
Speaker 14: rests and a normal work week. Let's work really well

1906
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:13,639
Speaker 14: throughout the week because as always say, how you work

1907
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:15,760
Speaker 14: throughout the week shows up, you know on game day.

1908
01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:19,639
