1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Hello Texans fans, and welcome to the program that gets 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: you inside NRG Stadium. It's Texans All Access and we're 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,120 Speaker 1: in the Hunday Texans Radio studio across the hall from 4 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: the locker room. Team practiced today again, another one tomorrow 5 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: before hitting the charter on Saturday in anticipation of the 6 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: big one on Sunday, Texans Titans at twelve noon, and 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: General John McLean joins us from the Houston Chronicles. So John, 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: safe to say this is the biggest Texans Titans game 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: in history. Agree or disagree? Oh, of course, markets by 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: far the biggest because first place in the division is 11 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: on the line. I wrote a column this week, and 12 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: I know you wrote about it on your website about 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: this rivalry should have been intense, fears competitive, that the 14 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: fans should be frothing at the mouth at the mere 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: mention of the other team. Instead, they respect each other. 16 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: Fans here like going in Nashville, a great city. Fans 17 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: in Nashville like coming here in a great city. It 18 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: needs to get ugly and nasty. And when you played 19 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: two times in three weeks and first places on the line, 20 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: there's a good possibility of it. And then the chance 21 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: that you can play three times in four weeks. I'm 22 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: guessing that's been done sometime, but I certainly don't remember it. 23 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: I expect this rivalry takeoff with you got Vaible, you 24 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: got other coaches up there, and I can't wait for 25 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: this game because not just this one, but all the 26 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: rest of them, of course, but this one was gonna 27 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: be so much fun, and for the first time since 28 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: Jeff Fisher was taking them to the playoffs every year. 29 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: I expect every seat to be filled, every seat to 30 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: be filled. We really haven't seen that much lately. I 31 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: think oh four, when the Texans beat the Titans for 32 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: the very first time. Steve McNair was the quarterback for 33 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: the Titans. I believe the stadium had to have been 34 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: full that day because the Titans really hadn't rolling back 35 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: in the early ohs. But that's probably the last time 36 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: it was that full anyway, hasn't been recently. I know 37 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: last year before the game, my friends who are all 38 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: ticket holder said, you're gonna be amazed any empty seats 39 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: there are, because at that time they were competing for 40 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: first place, not like this. But so I'm happy for 41 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: Mike Rabow, the fans up there are got a lot 42 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: of good friends up there in the organization and who 43 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: have tickets, and they're pumped about this game, and they're 44 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: pumped about their Titans and Ryan Tannehill. All right, let 45 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: me talk to you about Ryan Tannehill because we're seeing 46 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: some really good numbers and a lot of people are 47 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: doing the stat comparisons in the last several games between 48 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: him and Watson. I don't know if that's the best 49 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: way to look at it if I'm a Titan fan, 50 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: But go with me here, Tannehill. Is he completely transformed 51 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: or is this just a run that he's making a 52 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: fresh start kind of thing and he's gonna come back 53 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: down to Earth? What do you think of it? Thirty 54 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: one years old, he's in his eighth season. The highest 55 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: rating he ever had in Miami was ninety three in 56 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: two sixteen, and he had injury. Is us at Miami 57 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of talent around him. But this 58 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: year is ratings one or eighteen. His last five, last 59 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: four in their four game winning streak have been at 60 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: least one thirty one. Only second quarterback in history Russell 61 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: Wilson was the other to do that. Four games. That 62 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: are all they have four game winning streak. He's six 63 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: and one as a starter. There everything thirty one point 64 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: seven points in the four game winning streak, thirty seven 65 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: points a game. And Derrick Henry has already set his 66 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: career high. He's on our way to fourteen fifteen hundred yards. 67 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: You have twelve touchdowns. As you know, he's a good receiver. 68 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: He's got a couple of touchdown catches. So the play 69 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: action works so well for them because you have to 70 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: be prepared to stop the two or forty seven pound 71 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. And that's a great compliment to each other 72 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,839 Speaker 1: that Tannehill has been incredibly accurate completely almost seventy four 73 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: percent team touchdowns, five interceptions. A lot of people were 74 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: surprised that he runs so well, but remember at A 75 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: and M he played wide receiver. Speaking of A and M, 76 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: Earl Campbell was up there for an autograph session this 77 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: season and he went over to the FASIL head never 78 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: been So it's a lot of players happy to see 79 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: Earl Campbell, especially at Texan. Like Ryan Tanny only came 80 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: up and introduced himself to Earl. He said, he said, 81 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: I went to Texas A and M, and Earl said 82 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: oh really, he said, I like the Aggies. Really, you 83 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: liked the Aggies of men from you tea and on 84 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: he goes, Yeah, the Aggies helped me win the Heisman Trophy, 85 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: a nice one. I was wondering where that was going. 86 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: That's funny when you have an Oiler going up to 87 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: Tennessee to visit the Titans, it's just kind of weird. 88 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: It just seems like he should be visiting here. Well, 89 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: he does visit here. He was there for an autograph 90 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: show and they asked if he wanted to come over 91 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: and get a tour, so he did. Eddie George happened 92 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: to be there, and Eddie George and Earl Campbell are 93 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: making an appearance tonight in nash Feel, just the two 94 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: of them for an exclusive audience, and I think that 95 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: would be so much fun. I've been around Earl telling 96 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: stories and I know both those guys, and Eddie's asked 97 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: me if he had another one in August with him 98 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: and Ray Lewis, and I was a huge hit. And 99 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: he asked me if I thought one of his talks 100 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: would go over down here, and I said, shoot, chat, well, 101 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: oh yeah, bring it, absolutely, bring it. Okay, So the 102 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: Titans we mentioned Bryan Tannehill. You mentioned Derek Henry what 103 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: he's doing second in the NFL and rushing. How did 104 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: the Texans stop him. They've been good at times against 105 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: the run, at other times not as good as they want. 106 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: But you have reader up front, yeah, Blackson, you have 107 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: Charles a Mena who you have some guys who can 108 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: stop the run. You just have to not bite on 109 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: that play action stuff, which is so hard to do. 110 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: I believe in his last game against Denver, the Texans 111 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: did do two things. Well, you know, it got lost 112 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: in the shuffle, as it should have to, getting a 113 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: nided by a rookie quarterback. One of them. They ran 114 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: the ball better than they had in the previous couple 115 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: of games, one hundred and thirty four yards, and they 116 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: stopped the run better for the first time in a month. 117 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: So you know, I mean, Philip Lindsay's no slouts for 118 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: the Broncos. The Texans have harnessed him two years in 119 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: a row. And Roy's freeman. They put the they put 120 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: they threw a net over him. Now, Henry's a different back, 121 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: but we're talking about you know, McKinney's a big guy. 122 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: You mentioned the lineman they're big. They What you don't 123 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: want to do is have him blow through a hole, 124 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: get on the second level, get away from the linebackers, 125 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: and then here's you know, one hundred and ninety five 126 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: pounds Jiathan Joseph closing in with him going full speed. 127 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: Are the other dp's You want him to at least 128 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: slow him down up front so he doesn't get that 129 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: big headed steam. And they've done it. Now he's at 130 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: a couple of times where he was contained in any 131 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: for a long run. They also have to worry about 132 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: him as a receiver, and he's a good receiver. He 133 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: did a couple of touchdown catches. And I'm not sure 134 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: what kind of coverage or a plan Robiokerdale will have, 135 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: but somebody, whether it's Zach Cunningham or someone else, will 136 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: be all over him as a receiver. You know, last week, 137 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: I thought the Broncos had a tremendous game plan trying 138 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: to isolate tight ends and bags on but Arder McKinney, 139 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, he's not cunning him when it comes to coverage. Obviously, 140 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: for Able and his staff see that tape of what 141 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: the Broncos did, and I would imagine they'll try to 142 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: incorporate a lot of that. But I think they can 143 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: do a good job against Henry the kids. Can they 144 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: do what only Carolina has been able to do, which 145 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: is slow down Tanny Hill and actually beat beat the 146 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: Titans for the first time, and this would make it 147 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: eight weeks. God, I had Might Keith, the voice of 148 00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: the Titans. I know you know him. I had him 149 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: yesterday and he's on the podcast Vandermeer's View on Houston 150 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: Texas dot com or wherever fine podcasts are available. How's 151 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: that for a little plug? Arthur Smith there oc He 152 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: says that they were really ready for this Tannehill thing 153 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: in the offseason when they acquired him. Do you think 154 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: that Tannehill this was expected that at some point he 155 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: would take over or it was just a gigantic Lloyds 156 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: of London insurance policy in case Mariota couldn't do the job. 157 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: If they thought that Tannehill was going to do this 158 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: when they traded for him, that means they had such 159 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: a low opinion of Marcus Mariota or they had an 160 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: overinflated opinion from Ryan Tannehill. Now, I did a charity 161 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: event up there with Vrabel and John Robinson, the GM 162 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: who made the trade, and they got it as an 163 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: insurance policy. No, and I said at the time, I 164 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: thought it was one of the best moves of the 165 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: all season because Tannehill had had some big games at Miami, 166 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: so you knew he was capable. I didn't think Mario's 167 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: gonna get benched. I thought he's gonna get hurt. So 168 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Okay, when he gets hurt, they have an 169 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: experienced quarterback, former number one pick who has had some 170 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: big games to step in, and so I thought that 171 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: was a really smart move. If anybody tries to act 172 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: like they knew Ryan tanney Hill's gonna do what he 173 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: can do and they're ball faced liars, well, I think 174 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: he was just ready for it to happen. Perhaps now 175 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: when you look at their d hold out, let's point something. Now, Okay, 176 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: he's in the last year of his contract. Steven Strasbourg 177 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: stays healthy for the dash Poles in the last year 178 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: when he can opt out, wins the career high games, 179 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: signs a two or forty five million dollars contract. I 180 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: am always suspect of guys who stay healthy in the 181 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: last year their contract or opt out in Baseball's case. 182 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,119 Speaker 1: So I Tanney Hill is gonna get a big contract 183 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: from them. They're already talking to him. He's gonna sign it, 184 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: And then you hope he doesn't have the injury history 185 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: yet at Miami. Well, what if he doesn't finish strong? 186 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: Past performance does not indicate future results. So you might 187 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: have a couple of games here that aren't as good 188 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: as what he's just done. I don't know, We'll see 189 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: how it plays. It's gonna be hard to have a 190 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: ratio of over one hundred and thirty one for a 191 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 1: fifth game and over nine yards per attempt and all 192 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: the other stuff he's doing. I think that he would 193 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: have to really falter on these last three games for 194 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: them to do that. Now, he'll be thirty two next year. 195 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: If say two attack of Voloa came out, and because 196 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: of his hip surgery or because there's so many veterans 197 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: on the market, he happened to drop to wherever they're picking, 198 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: would they take him, knowing they could have him for 199 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: five years and Taniel would be going into being thirty eight. 200 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, take a quarterback in the first round. 201 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: But I don't think they make it a priority like 202 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: the Texans did by trading up to get one because 203 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: of Hill's performance and knowing how excited they are about it. 204 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: All right, So Texans facing the Titans defensey off jorellec If, 205 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons up far landry as nine sicks. Yikes. I mean, 206 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,599 Speaker 1: this is a real tough bunch to deal with. And 207 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,719 Speaker 1: the Texans did not move the ball well through the 208 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 1: first two and a half quarters against Denver, and who 209 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: knows what that all means what they did last week 210 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: or didn't do last week, But they have to fight 211 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: a way to get the football moving early in this 212 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: game and get it in the end zone. Really, it 213 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: might be good to just keep the Texans offense in 214 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: the drising room until the second quarter and let the 215 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 1: defense stay on that. I don't know about that, because 216 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 1: they have so much talent on offense. It's inexplicable to 217 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: have so few points. Only Washington has fewer in the 218 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: first quarter. That is amazing, And they got the talent, 219 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: that's the thing. Baltimore. I think four games in this 220 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: winning streak they've come out and gone straight for a 221 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 1: touchdown in the first series and I'm like, that is amazing, 222 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: And think of what it would mean up there if 223 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: they could do it, get the lead, take the crowd 224 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: out out of it, put the time. It's a little 225 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: bit on their heels because the last thing you want 226 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: to do, and we've seen this several times come out 227 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: fall behind, whether it's because you've given up a drive 228 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: or turnover and have to play from behind. They're used 229 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: to it, so they're good at it, and it would help, 230 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,599 Speaker 1: of course that they didn't have any penalties. You know, 231 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: I wrote a thing this week the Texans will already 232 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: surpassed last year's yards. They're closing in on penalty yards. Yeah, 233 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: they're closing in on penalties. And do you know this, 234 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,599 Speaker 1: it's not all Laramie Tunsel on the false starts. He 235 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: has more than anybody in the league. And Laramie also 236 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: has more penalties. But false starts were an issue last year. 237 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: I looked up I think it was twenty four. This 238 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: year's it was twenty eight. Then maybe that was the 239 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: third most in the league last year. So they got 240 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: a look beyond Laramie Tunsel of why this team has 241 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: false starts that, as you know, having it happened early 242 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: like third and five on the thirty seven yard line 243 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 1: of Denver. Then it's third and ten, and it's just 244 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: like some of the best players are committing mental mistakes 245 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: that are hurting them much bigger than say a passing 246 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 1: Afferris would absolute drive killers. Okay, so will Fuller or no, 247 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: will Fuller. They need to find a way to get 248 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: Watson enough time to get the ball off. Make some 249 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: pass players because we all want to see them run 250 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: the football, but you're gonna have to throw to score 251 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: in this game. We all know it. They're gonna fight 252 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: a way to do it. It's almost like defensively, let 253 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry run, give them five yards pop, because that 254 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: means they're gonna have long drives. They're not gonna score 255 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: a lot of points when you running the ball all 256 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: the time. But you know you do. You want to 257 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: stop Henry and let Tanny Hill throw the ball down 258 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: the field because he's been so good at ninety one 259 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: yard touchdown past at Oakland and Watson. You know they 260 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: want to do the same thing. You know, they want 261 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: to keep Watson on the bench. And Watson, you can 262 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: tell the other day when he had those that rushing 263 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: touchdown in which he took a dive into the end zone, 264 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: it was like his touchdown catched the week before, a 265 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: dive into the end zone. And I asked him on Wednesday, 266 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: you hadn't run for a touchdown in a long time. 267 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: He had five early, now you've had three that weren't passes. 268 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: It because of how much each game means, the situation 269 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: is so crucial, and I think he hadn't thought about it, 270 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: but he basically said, yeah, this every play is key 271 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: here and it is so I look for him to 272 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: have a good game. He is two and one against 273 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: the Titans. His rating is one twenty. He has eight touchdowns, 274 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: two interceptions, two touchdowns rushing. And the game up there 275 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: last year where they got back twenty seventeen and I 276 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: was his second game after spending the offseason rehabing, but 277 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: his rating was still one of six nine and then 278 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: here he scored fifty seven and thirty four, so they 279 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: know what he can do for Rabels been present for 280 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: all three of those games, including his last year here 281 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven. Team they're gonna try to 282 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: have a plan, yea, it will contain to Sean Watson. 283 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: And Rabel told me when he became a head coach, 284 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: I said, does your form me Artie with Watson, should 285 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: that he help you? He said, you can't plan for 286 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: the plays he makes instinctively because he didn't know what's coming. 287 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: So how would you know what's coming? Well, let's hope 288 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: he makes plenty of them, all right. John McLean's gonna 289 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: stay with us. We'll go around the league. How's Denver 290 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: gonna do this week? Also, what's up tonight with the 291 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: Ravens hosting the Jets and other AFC South matchups? And 292 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: by matchups I mean other teams in the division of 293 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: what they're doing this week? And Tampa Bay next week's opponent. 294 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: What are they up to? Hot reads? And the opening 295 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: segment with the general is one gigantic hot read presented 296 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: by Geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or 297 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: more on car insurance. It's Texans Radio. We are counting 298 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: down to Sunday at noon when the Texans take on 299 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans in Nashville. AFC South first place on 300 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: the line. Texans have it right now via the tiebreaker, 301 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: as you know, and whoever wins Monday as a full 302 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: game lead with two games to go, and John the 303 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: Texans if they win any two of the next three, 304 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: they win the division. They could even conceivably lose the 305 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: next two, provided that the Titans would lose to the 306 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: Saints and still beat the Titans closing day and win it. 307 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: But they want to take care of business on Sunday. 308 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: Another team that wants to sneak back into the business 309 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: is the Indianapolis Colts, who will be at the Saints 310 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: on Monday. I don't know if we want to talk 311 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: too much about that game, but the Colts, you see 312 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: the injuries piling up here. John, It's just not going 313 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: the way they wanted down the stretch. I don't think 314 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: they're a playoff factor. They just gave up thirty eight 315 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: points at Tampa. They scored thirty five, and they got 316 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: a new kicker and Chase McLaughlin will never see Adam 317 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: Mintary again. It's a shame the way his career ended 318 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: there two one field, one short field goal, one extra 319 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: point from having two more wins on kicks that he 320 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: could make in his sleep and didn't. But I don't 321 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: see them as a factor anymore. Be great in the 322 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: NFC if they beat the Saints, but I can't imagine. 323 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: I also, boy, you know the Saints going to Tennessee 324 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: in that next game. The way the Titans are playing, 325 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: they could beat them. They could beat them. But we'll 326 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: see what happens this weekend, and you never know how 327 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: injuries pile up or anything else. But Saints are obviously 328 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: a very good football team. Jets at the Ravens tonight. 329 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: You give them a prayer to at least slow down 330 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: Baltimore this evening. No prayer. The Jets are great against 331 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: the run with Greg Williams. Greg Blitza is more than 332 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: any coordinator in the league fifty three percent of the time. 333 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: But he does not have Jamal Adams. That's a big, 334 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 1: not half player, and he doesn't have their first pick. 335 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: Quinn and Williams. They're both out the defensive tackle. They're 336 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: both out because of injuries. So I fully expect the 337 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: Ravens to have a field day. The only way it 338 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: would be even interesting as if some Sam Darnel is 339 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: his best game of the season. John Denver. Not only 340 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: have they won two in a row Withdrew Locke and 341 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: four over their last night, that's right, So they're a 342 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: pretty decent team since they got it together with the 343 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: baptismal first few games under Vic Fangio. Obviously they look 344 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,719 Speaker 1: great here last week they're gonna be at the Kansas 345 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: City Chiefs. What about a prayer for them this weekend? 346 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: Drew Locke, who went to Missouri, he goes back to Missouri. 347 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: Chiefs are playing really well right now. You know they 348 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: got their I on getting that first round by Would 349 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: it be weird to see the Patriots playing in the 350 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: first round? I don't know, hope they've ever played in 351 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: the first rounds and they have Baltimore O nine they lost? 352 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: Is that so after they lost here, that's the stant 353 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: possibility for the Patriots and Chiefs defense playing better. So 354 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 1: even though Drew Locke did well, I don't see them 355 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: going into Arrowhead and beating the Chiefs anymore than I 356 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: saw them coming in urg Stadium and beating the Texas. Hey, 357 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: you're right, the Chiefs are alive for a first round 358 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: by possibility. They need the Ravens to have a meltdown. 359 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen though. All right, So the Giants 360 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: hosting the Dolphins. I know the Chiefs beat the Ravens, 361 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,479 Speaker 1: but Chiefs have four losses and the Ravens have two. 362 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,719 Speaker 1: Giants hosting the Dolphins bring this up because Eli's done right. 363 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: So this is the farewell tour. I think that it 364 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: would have been such a great story if he'd been 365 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: able to maintain that first half Performancefladelphi. He didn't. I 366 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: think he's gonna win this game. They're gonna give him 367 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: a standing ovation every time he's seen on the field, 368 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: and he deserves it. He certainly does. Okay other action 369 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: that we are following, I just want to talk about 370 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: the Jaguars for this reason. They're gonna be at the Raiders. 371 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: These are two teams that have been having meltdown catastrophic 372 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: blowout losses. So who's gonna stop their streak this weekend? 373 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: And what happens in Jacksonville? Shot Con is he gonna 374 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: wipe everybody out of that organization and start over Jacksonville. 375 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: It is the first teams into the nineteen eighty six 376 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: Buccaneers to lose five consecutive games by the least seventeen points. 377 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: That means they've quit on Doug Marone, he's gone, Dave 378 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: Colwell and Jim gone. I'm guesting Conflin at seventy four. 379 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: Do I want Tom Cofflin hiring people and having my 380 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: organization to start over with him. The answers, no, I 381 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: think they're all gone house cleaning, And I'm worried if 382 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: Kauflin were there, he would go after Matt Rule. I'm 383 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: worried that if the Giants were to fire Pat Shermer, 384 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: who I've never thought was any good he's now at 385 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: five years head coach, five losing records, that the Giants 386 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: would come after Matt Rule because he coached there for 387 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: a year, and basically every story I would say about 388 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: a possible opening, they're mentioning Matt Rule. But I think 389 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: the Jaguars they're all gone. The Raiders they've lost three 390 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: in a row after they were right there in the 391 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: contention for the division. And the wild card tells me 392 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: John Gruden's going to want a new quarterback Derek Carr. 393 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: Either he stays there with a number one pick, or 394 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: Gruden goes after one of these older guys because there's 395 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: gonna be so many unavailable. The Cowboys are hosting the Rams. 396 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: Of course, the NFC East is highly gettable, but the 397 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: Rams are hot. I mean, they just killed Seattle there. 398 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: They it's still a long shot to make the playoffs, 399 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: but the Cowboys, I keep picking them to win and 400 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: they lose. I guess because they're home. I'm going to 401 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: pick them to win. Really, yeah, just because they're home. 402 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: What about this Bills Steelers deal on Sunday night? This 403 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: is an intriguing game. I like this one. I like 404 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: the Bills in prime time. It's about time, only the 405 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: second time they've been on Sunday nights since the playoffs 406 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: in ninety nine. And their defense is really good, their 407 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: offense is not. They need some more offensive weapons in 408 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh with Duck Hodges, He's three and oh as a starter. 409 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin is right up there with Mike Mike, Kyle 410 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: Shannah and his Coach of the Year candidate Steelers. Steelers 411 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: not gonna lose this game at home? Okay, So Heisman 412 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: Trophy OU Bowl with Kyler Murray and the Cardinals and 413 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and the Browns Brown's visiting them. Do the 414 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: Browns continue their run? I think they do against the Cardinals. 415 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: I think that answers itself. John, but it's Freddy Kitchens. 416 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: Is this late run gonna be enough to keep him 417 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: in the coach's seat in Cleveland? He shouldn't be. They 418 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: need a veteran coach who's been through the wars to 419 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: come in there and manage all those egos. Kitchens in 420 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: over his head has been for the get go, and 421 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: this would just set to help help the new guy 422 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: coming in. But he's gonna have to be a psychiatrist 423 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: as much as he is a coach. John Ron Rivera 424 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: is gone in Carolina. They're gonna host the Seahawks, so 425 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: Dave Tepper is going to have a lot of work 426 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 1: to do to find out who's gonna be his next guy. 427 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: Marty herne is. He wants to keep Marty Hearney, but 428 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: that's not a good situation for new general manager to 429 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: come in and the former general manager two different dance 430 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: be there on the staff. That's not fair. So I 431 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: assume he's gonna hire a GM first. In today's I'm 432 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: really interested in Rick Smith. Rick Smith I've been here 433 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: and wants to come back to the NFL, and I 434 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: think anybody looking for general manager would be wise to 435 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: interview Rick because he can go back and say, Hey, 436 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: I traded up to get to Shaun Watson, I knew 437 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: how to get a quarterback. I drive to J J Y, 438 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: I drafted DeAndre Hobbs. Yeah, I'll say don't look at 439 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: my second third rounders, but look at my first ones, 440 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: and I think Rick's got a chance to get a job. 441 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera definitely gets a job. Definitely gets a job, 442 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: unless he wants to take a year off like Mike McCarthy, 443 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: But I've heard him say he wants to keep coaching. 444 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's this year. Wood Cleveland Hire McCarthy. 445 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: Dorsey worked with him in Green Bay, knows him very well. 446 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: McCarthy handled Aaron Rodgers all those years, he handled Brett Farve, 447 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: hought to be able to handle Baker Mayfield. I would 448 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: think McCarthy would would be a candidate, and I think 449 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: he'd be a good candidate back to the Cowboys. If 450 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: Garrett is on the open market, does he get a 451 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: head coaching gig? No? No way? Okay, are there any 452 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: high school openings? Is Mike Tomlin underrated, overrated or properly rated? 453 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: Here yere? He is being properly rated because everybody's talking 454 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: about the great coaching job he does. The fans have 455 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: been wanting to get rid of him for years, and 456 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: he has done a tremendous job. He's probably lucky that 457 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett caught basin Rudolph because that ended up. Rudolph 458 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: didn't do squat the next week and he had to 459 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: go with his third stringer, Douck Hodges. And arrest is history, 460 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: and their defense is great. So I think that people 461 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: are seeing how great he is. You know, if you've 462 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: got a lot of great athletes, like players like anthonio' Browning, 463 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: Levion Bella had been Roethelisberger, and you go every year 464 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, you don't get respect. It's too bad. 465 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: You've got to lose a lot of players and be 466 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: an underdog and then all of a sudden when for 467 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: people to give you the respect you've deserved for a 468 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: long time. All right, So the Patriots Bengals the scouting 469 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: video controversy, what did you make of it? First of all, 470 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: it was done and right in front of Bengals officials, right, 471 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: And I don't think that the Patriots were their experience 472 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: in subterfuge would have told a guy to set up 473 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: right in front of him where they can see your 474 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: monitor pointed at the bench, and now they could say, 475 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: let's go to the videotape and look at it. And 476 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: Billichick in the past when he was guilty would say 477 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: we're onto this team or that team, and he has 478 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: been adamant this week. I did not know anything about it. 479 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: I don't think he did, or they would have been 480 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: they would have been more clandestined, and also would have 481 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: been stupid to be doing that and risking that against 482 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: the Bengals, who are the worst team in the NFL. 483 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 1: So I'm thinking, when it's all said and done, nothing 484 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: is going to be done to the page. Well, the 485 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: one thing I have issue with is he had to know, 486 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: because there's no way we could do a video like that, 487 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: follow the scout around a day in the life of 488 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: a scout and shoot what he's doing without approval from 489 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: football operations. And I don't think anything gets approved in 490 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: football operations without him knowing, So that part of it 491 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: I'm a little iffy on. But I agree that this 492 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: was not a competitive ad. You have to tell the 493 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: opponent what you're doing. Yeah, this is where we're going, 494 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: this is what we're doing. I'm stood in their website, 495 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: they're like, y'all, they spent a lot of money, they 496 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: got a lot of people, they do a great job. 497 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: But that the work of an advanced scout, which is 498 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: basically giving some kind of inside information to the most 499 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: the most paranoid organization in the NFL. And I'm guessing 500 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: that guy's probably fired, And I'm wondering if he's been around. 501 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: Maybe he's in his first year of the Patriots and 502 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: he's young and he doesn't know about all the controversy. 503 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: But the Bruins hat, that's was he wear the Bruins. 504 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: Let me tell you one of one of my guys, 505 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: None of my guys. Nobody's gonna wear a Rocket's hat 506 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: or an Astros hat working for us. It's not happening. 507 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I love those teams, but come on, you're 508 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: a Texan. Makes me think the guy was new or 509 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: he was or he was his company was hired for this. Yeah, 510 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: but I think there's much more of this story, But 511 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: it's not about about Belichick. I think Goodell will let 512 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: him off to John. What do you up going out 513 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: on the Chronicle? Aaron Wilson's writing Sunday about Rabel and O'Brien. 514 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: I'm writing for Friday. If if Drew Locke can throw 515 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: for three or nine yards against the secondary, what in 516 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: the world, Ken, Ryan Tanneo and Jamis Winston not think 517 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: it was an aberration. It was an aberration that it 518 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: would be good and we and Aaron's got a good 519 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: story too about DeAndre Carter with some information most people 520 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: don't know, so those will be in a chronicle and 521 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: Texas Support Nation. Thank you, John, Thank you Mark. Ask 522 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: John mcclaim for the Houston Chronicle. You know, if the 523 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: Texans score two or more touchdowns, head your closest jack 524 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: in the box the next day for your free Texans 525 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: jumbo jack with a large drink purchase. And they fulfilled 526 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: on that, even though they didn't win, at least they 527 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: got the jumbo jack deal for you. That's right. Next up, 528 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: John Harris, we're gonna play more likely to happen. Heavy 529 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: Texans Tennessee numbers come in your way, but easy to 530 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: digest as you drive home or we're every year going 531 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 1: it's Texans Radio. I could feel the angst, I can 532 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: feel the tension. I can feel. Do I say stress next? 533 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: I think so, because I mean it's the NFL and 534 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: we've got drama coming up Sunday at noon in Nashville 535 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: as the Texans battle to Tennessee Titans. We're here in 536 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: the Hunday Texans Radio studio talking about it. I'm Texans 537 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: All Access. John Harris steps into the studio. Now, Johnny, 538 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: here we go. It's coming up soon, and I'm just 539 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: so fired up for this one. It's I was gonna 540 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: say it's about as big as he gets, but not 541 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: really because there's you know, playoffs and Super Bowl and 542 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But to date though, to 543 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: date though, and I got to thinking about this. I know, 544 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: since twenty fourteen, since I've been in the building, and 545 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: since twenty thousand and seven, since I've been back in Houston, 546 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: I do not remember a game with the Titans this 547 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: late in the year that means this much. No, this 548 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: is it. This is the biggest Texans Titans game ever, period, 549 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: end of story. This is it now. In two thousand 550 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: and sixteen, the Texans were nine and six and the 551 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: Titans were eight and seven going into the finale, but 552 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: it was rendered pointless because of the outcome the week 553 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: before against the Sincenni Bengals. Right, so the Titans were 554 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: going for a winning season, right, but they have nothing 555 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: else on the line, no postseason, And yeah, Matt Castle 556 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: ended up winning that thing. How about Brabel got the 557 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: job after Malarkey won the playoff game in Kansas City. Yeah, 558 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: and then got yeah exactly. But the thing about it 559 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: was is that was sort of surprising that he even 560 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: got them to the playoffs, because during the year I 561 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: remember them saying I don't know if he's gonna make it. 562 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna make it. Got blown out here? 563 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,239 Speaker 1: How about that? Used the Titans as your inspiration? They 564 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: got blown out here by the Texans and eventually won 565 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: a playoff game at Kansas City to make it to 566 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: the divisional round and lose to the Patriots. Right. Yes, 567 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: explained that losing the Patriots doesn't need explanation. They were 568 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: just out classing that game. But they beat Alex Smith 569 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: in the Chiefs. I remember watching that. I was at 570 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: a restaurant and I was like, oh, come on, Like, 571 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's not like some college angles where you 572 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: might root for the conference. I don't root for the postseason. 573 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? That's not happening? All right? I 574 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: know we're here to play more likely to happen, So 575 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: let's get to it. More likely to happen? All right? 576 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: First of all, I'm more likely to happen. I'm going 577 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: to go right to the heart of this thing Texans 578 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: and Titans more likely to happen to Shaun Watson three 579 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: hundred yards or Ryan Tannehill three hundred yards. Till's been 580 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: putting out big numbers, Johnny big nut, and look how 581 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: the Texans have a league. He's gonna have to throw. 582 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: We could get the three hundred. I know, and you're 583 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: you're probably right. But when Shawn Watson and Ryan Tannahill, 584 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: it's the Shawn Watson and the one little part of 585 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: the conversation that nobody really talks about. And I know 586 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: Landry John Lopez be proud of me. Is the Titans 587 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: past defense. The Titans give up about two hundred and 588 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: sixty yards passing a game. They're not They're they're not 589 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: one of the top teams in the league. In fact, 590 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: trying to find my number zero real fast, but I 591 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: know it's like two hundred and sixty there went fifth 592 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: in the league and passing yards allowed. They do have 593 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: a great front when they have Dequan Jones, Nex and 594 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons, Dex and Drell Casey and Harold Landers on 595 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: the outside with Jean Brown and Rashaun Evans, that's a 596 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: really good front six. When they play nickel and then 597 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: they bring U Kamalaya Korea in when they play bass 598 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: number Yeah, Kamala Kream. Yeah, it's tough, but the secondary 599 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: has been banged up a little bit, and I just 600 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: have never thought the secondary was was great. Buy yards 601 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: a ballhawk, he'll he'll find it and he does a 602 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: really nice job. But they give up yards through the air. 603 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: So I think that Deshaun could put up three hundred 604 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: against them, I almost don't want him to, So I 605 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 1: almost want to change my answer. I almostn't want him to. 606 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: I want him to be in at two fifty to 607 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: two seventy five. You're running it well probably, and I'd 608 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: rather be in the one thirty one rushing in that 609 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: in the Russian range. But I'm gonna go with DeShawn 610 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: just because I think he can do it, even if 611 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: the Texans win that game and blow them out. So 612 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with three hundred quick quick semi sidebar here, 613 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: what about all the people who are tweeting, oh, look 614 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: at the snats in the last seven games that are 615 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: whining about They're whining about how Tannehill has better numbers 616 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: in the last seven games than Deshaun Watson. That means 617 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: he's so much better. Is there a GM in the 618 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: league who would take No, No, I just wanted to 619 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: know that little Ryan, and Ryan's played well, yeah, no, 620 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: you gotta give credit. He's great for his sake. Well, 621 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: actually he's a Titan. So I don't hope anything here. 622 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: How about this little nugget. I was gonna save this, 623 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: but I figured since we're talking about Tannehill, you know, 624 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: Taniel's only face of Texans once. Yes, do you know 625 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: what was? Yeah, don't tell me historic about this? Yeah? 626 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: He blew them out. Yeah yeah in twenty fifteen. There 627 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: go further, think perfect perfect quarterback rating. He had a 628 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: perfect quarterback rating in that twenty fifteen matchup. He was 629 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: eighteen and nineteen four touchdowns, had eighteen nineteen. They play, oh, 630 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: nine teen throws. I like the Sean's Perfect Quarterback ding game, 631 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: which was like thirty eight throws. I know, I know, 632 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: I'm listen. I'm with you on this. I'm just saying 633 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: that Ryan Tanniel saw the Texans once four years ago 634 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: and he let us up like a Christmas. I hope 635 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: that's not the case with Sunday. Look, this is a 636 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: very different situation. You don't have. You don't have Ryan 637 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: Mallett mania reverse style, like reverse mania. You know, we 638 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: when we get back after a trip, we always like 639 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: Monday me you Drew dpr kind of congregate and talk 640 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: about different things, and we we kind of unofficially do this. 641 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: We kind of grade the road trip. You know, that's 642 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: fun trip, that's a good trip. It's okay. That trip 643 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: to Miami was as lousy a trip as it could 644 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: have been. It was it was, I mean it was, 645 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: it was bad. It was just at least we went 646 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: to South Beach and had the night before. Okay, next 647 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: one more likely to happen, more likely to happen. The 648 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: Texans run for one hundred thirty yards or Derrick Henry 649 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: runs for one hundred plus. So Texans one thirty as 650 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: a team, Henry one hundred as a player. You noticed 651 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: I didn't put the Texans one hundred as a player, 652 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: as I think the Texans for one thirty, because I 653 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: think it's I think Carlos can get his can get 654 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: seventy five eighty five. I think the Sean's gonna be 655 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: good for forty to fifty. But I think what they've 656 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: got to be able to do where they've got to 657 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: exploit the run game, if you will. Is getting Duke 658 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,919 Speaker 1: up to fifty or sixty, He's got to be able 659 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: to slice and dice through there. And I think he 660 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: did that against the Patriots and it kind of went 661 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 1: with him. But I think if if the Texans are 662 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: truly hitting the Titans, kind of that one two combo 663 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: with Duke and with Carlos kind of bang bang, you know, 664 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: here's a little bit of power, and then there's Duke. 665 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: You know, here comes a pop power, and then here 666 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: comes the and then you kind of go back and 667 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 1: forth and you kind of keep him on their heels 668 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: a little bit. With that, I think you can get 669 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 1: to one thirty. The thing about Henry with that hundred, 670 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,879 Speaker 1: he can get there in one run. I mean, that's 671 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: the scary thing about him is for as big as 672 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,320 Speaker 1: he is, he'd think, oh, he's just kind of a 673 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: plotting guy. He breaks one tackle with the line of scrimmage, 674 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: he's into the secondary and two steps and then all 675 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you got a bunch of one hundred 676 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,080 Speaker 1: eighty to two hundred pound guys try to tackle. To 677 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: my gosh, Plane just said something very similar like twenty 678 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: minutes ago. So you guys are in step. But I 679 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: still think the Texans will hold Henry in check, get 680 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: a lead and enforced Tannehill have to throw. And I 681 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 1: think that's gonna be the formula to win this game. Okay, 682 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: next one. More likely to be the case next year. 683 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: In the AFC South, we have status quo at the 684 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 1: current starting quarterbacks positions, meaning Minshew, Tannehill, Brissette and Watson, 685 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: or we have a change somewhere more likely to happen. 686 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: There'll be a change somewhere. Okay, where is the change 687 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: gonna be? Though? To win this officially, you have to 688 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: get it right now. Check back next year. What would 689 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: be really interesting is we win these two games against 690 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,760 Speaker 1: the Titans and they don't look good at home against 691 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,160 Speaker 1: the Saints, and whether they start thinking that Tannehill is 692 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: the Is Tannehill the answer? I brought this something? Is 693 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: he the guy? Because he said they're already talking contract? 694 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: I thought, well, hold on a second, Now, you've got 695 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 1: to you gotta play some games. Now. I know you 696 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs like I get that, and you beat 697 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: Indian Indian, okay, but you blocked a kick to get 698 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: you to thirty one so you put up twenty four 699 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: against in the Indie defense that it was okay. On 700 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: the defense is great, but you put up twenty four. Okay. 701 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 1: So now you face the Texans and look, the Texas 702 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: defense hasn't been what it's been in past years. We 703 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 1: know that, but I have I have number. It's interesting 704 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 1: I have numbers that I know. I heard Sean and 705 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: Seth talking about this earlier today. The Texans defense has 706 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: faced significantly better offenses this year. The irony is that 707 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: last year when we faced the top ten offense, we lost. 708 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what you expect, right, fifth to ten offense, Okay, 709 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna lose. This year when we faced top seven offenses, 710 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 1: we've won outside of Baltimore, but you matched up with him, 711 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: matched wits except for Baltimore. That's the one. Chargers and 712 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Patriots light on exactly who they were 713 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: on offense. But right, but it's just been interesting kind 714 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: of the offense defense dynamic with that. But as far 715 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 1: as it pertains the quarterbacks, I think Tennessee will bring back, 716 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: will bring Tannehill back. They'll give him a contract if 717 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: they're smart, it'll be kind of a three year deal 718 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: that gets him out after a year, maybe even two. 719 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: I think Jacksonville, look, MITCHI is fun to watch. He 720 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: can't be your answer. He can't be your answer. Jacksonville 721 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: Indianapolis starts to get interesting now because they were very 722 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: convinced that Jacoby Brissette was that guy. In fact, they 723 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: gave him a contract, ball or Ga him a contract 724 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 1: I think for a couple of years for thirty million dollars. 725 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: So he's got to be their guy. But I think 726 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 1: it was a two year deal. So I don't know 727 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: if they can get out of it after a year 728 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: or what they can do. But they're just have been 729 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: moments where Jacoby looks fantastic. Signed week seven against US 730 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: Week seven. Yeah, there have been times where he has 731 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: not looked good. The second matchup with US, he did 732 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: not look good. They tried to run the rock and 733 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: but he just didn't throw it all that well. He 734 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 1: didn't throw it well that he was banged up to 735 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 1: I get that, but just you know, against Tampa Bay 736 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: the day they put up thirty five, but into the 737 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: ball game, he used to make any place to win 738 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: that game. So I don't know, you know, knowing Ballard 739 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: the one reason that he took that job, outside of 740 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: the fact that it was in the Midwest, was that 741 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: Andrew luck was there that he wouldn't have to go 742 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: looking for a quarterback. But now you do. But now 743 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: he might happen. I think two of them change. I 744 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: think two of those three end up changing. Okay, next 745 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: one more likely to happen, more likely to happen Denver 746 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: beats Kansas City on the road, or the Jags beat 747 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: the Raiders on the road. I would man, the Jags 748 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: have opened a can a quick places a good one. 749 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: But what about the Raiders are getting blown out by 750 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: everybody I know? But the Raiders are definitely I don't 751 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 1: even have to look their favorite at home. Okay, look, 752 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 1: here's here's I think. I don't think that the Broncos 753 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 1: will play well going to Kansas City. Either that or 754 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 1: Drew Locke is just a complete total mess. I don't 755 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,879 Speaker 1: expect them to be. The one thing that locked through 756 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 1: our guys off a little bit. It was the velocity 757 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: with which he threw the football. Yeah, I first touchdown, 758 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: I mean I said it, that's the that's the fastest 759 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: football I've ever seen. Revolutions on that I mean, it 760 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,359 Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Now Kansas City has this tape though, Yeah 761 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: they've got this tape. They can study that and there 762 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: may be no no a fan. That's huge. But here's 763 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: the other thing on that touchdown. If you watch that 764 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 1: touchdown again, dudes are covered. Yeah, they're covered. Like he 765 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: makes that throw in a spot never made and it 766 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,839 Speaker 1: gets in there and it's like, I mean, I see 767 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,840 Speaker 1: a throw coming and I'm watching it covered him like 768 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,840 Speaker 1: knock it down. Just all you gotta do is he 769 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,359 Speaker 1: got in there so fast. And then as Julie's trying 770 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: to get it out, as he's ripping it out as 771 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 1: they're falling, he's ripping it basically into his belly. So 772 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: it's like securing it for him. So anyways, the point being, 773 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,280 Speaker 1: Locke is gonna give Kansas City some issue. Frank Clark's 774 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: been dealing with the stomach issue as well, so there's 775 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: been some things going on with Now Kansay's defense has 776 00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 1: played better. But the Oakland Raiders will not lose the 777 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: last game in Oakland A Media Coliseum. They will not. Okay, 778 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: so I can't remember how you phrase this, but the 779 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: Raiders will win the last game in Oaklana Media Collisea. 780 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 1: I don't even know what it's called now Qualcom or 781 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: Oakcom or Oaktown or whatever. I don't know what's called down. 782 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: I don't care whatever. The opposite of that is Oakland's 783 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: beating Jacksonville. Okay, got it, Johnny, thank you, you got 784 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 1: a mark.

Speaking of education, the Liz Franc injury, 793 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 1: how did it get named? What really is it? Let's 794 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 1: find out? Doctor Pedro kuscuju Wella joins US of Houston Methodist. 795 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 1: Right now, how's it going, doctor? I'm doing great? How 796 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 1: about yourself? Doing great? So? The Liz franc joint ligament, 797 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: the Liz Franc injury, we've heard about it from time 798 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: to time. The most infamous one perhaps match job back 799 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 1: in twenty eleven here for the Houston Texans. But a 800 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 1: lot of NFL players and others have suffered from this. 801 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: What happens? What kind of injury is this doctor? So 802 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:26,240 Speaker 1: the liszt franc injury was described by actually Napoleon's field surgeon. 803 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,600 Speaker 1: He realized that you could amputate feet through those joints 804 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,800 Speaker 1: without having to use a saw on the field, and 805 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: so that he had these soldiers that would fall off 806 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: the horses stirups, their feet would get caught and they 807 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: would have bad injuries, and he realized that he could 808 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: do an amputation through those joints much quicker without any 809 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 1: for a saw, and so those joints retained his name. 810 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: The joints are the ones between the torso bones in 811 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 1: the middle of the foot, or what we call the tuneiforms, 812 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 1: and the cuboid and our metatursos, which are the long 813 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: bones in our foot. And what typically happens is the 814 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: player has their foot bent down with their toes on 815 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,799 Speaker 1: the ground and another player or his own body weight 816 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: falls on the back, forcing the pressure or the energy 817 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,760 Speaker 1: of the force through those joints and essentially tearing those ligaments. 818 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 1: Great information, doctor, We appreciate the time.
