Speaker 1: the Hunday Texans Radio Studio. I'm John Harris, Football Ailson's

Speaker 1: Side One reporter. But I am thankful for you that

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 1: I am not kidding about. But hopefully you all had

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: a great Thanksgiving, had a chance to sit down, I

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: watched some football or your Hallmark movie of choice. I

14
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: did both, and I'm not joking. My wife is a

15
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: huge Hallmark fan, so I watched a lot of football.

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: I watched the I watched the first two games. I

17
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: watched the Bears Lions, and watched the Cowboys and the Redskins,

18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: and I didn't really watch much of the Falcon Saints.

19
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: I did watch a little bit of Mississippi State Nole

20
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: miss and then I got drilled in Uno by my daughter.

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: I lost like five straight games. I don't know how

22
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: you how you losing five straight games? Well, I find

23
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: a way, So I got. I got a streak. I

24
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: got a streak on my own. Texas got a streak.

25
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: I got a streak. Mine's bad. There's a good looking

26
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: for eight in a row on Monday, and I almost

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: hate even bringing that number up because it's not so

28
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: much about the number in a row. It's just about

29
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: being one or no after the weekend, and the weekend

30
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: in this case includes Monday, because it's Monday Night football

31
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: against the Tennessee Titans, kickoff seven fifteen Local, eight fifteen Eastern,

32
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: because that's what you'll see all weekend. Because you're watching ESPN,

33
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: you'll see it pop up. It'll say fifteen, but that's eastern,

34
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: seven fifteenth Central. Looking forward to the Tennessee Titans coming in,

35
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: We've got a little bit of news coming out of

36
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: Nashville that we will get to in this segment. But

37
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: what do we have on the show today? While we're

38
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: gonna hit from Bill Brian in our hot region just

39
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: a second, we're gonna hear from Kayemie Fairbairn he sat

40
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: down with DPCO for our Deep Interview of the week.

41
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: We're also going to get my keys. I give you

42
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: my first Community Credit Union first glance keys to the

43
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: game every single week, so I got them written down

44
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: they are in front of me. Then studying the Titans

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: all week, giving you the Keaton on look. When I

46
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: say studying the Titans all week, that which is essentially

47
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: that I've been studying them this week watching the Colts game.

48
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: Watch it pretty in depth, but I've seen I saw

49
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots game, I saw the Cowboys a decent amount

50
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys game on Monday night. So I've been

51
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: studying these guys for a while. There's always that one

52
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: team that you just you keep an eye on from

53
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: afar and the Titans have been that team for sure.

54
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't know. I think some of

55
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: it has to do with the fact that I you know,

56
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: a lot of pundits thought it was, oh, it's Tennessee's time,

57
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee's gonna take over the division. A lot of people

58
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: thought it was Jacksonville, but that at least had some merit.

59
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Jacksonville did some things in the playoffs last year.

60
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: I mean Tennessee got to win in Kansas City. I'll

61
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: give them that, but I don't know. I just I

62
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: just feel like Tennessee is one of those teams that

63
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: gets a lot of hype. There are some names you recognize,

64
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: but I just don't know ultimately how great a football

65
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: team it is. But it does sound as if, and

66
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: the news coming out of Aashville is that it does

67
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: look like Marcus Mariota will play. I play, He'll start.

68
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that goes and we'll build that

69
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: into our Keys of the game. Later show will also

70
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: go with the men behind the Mics usually do that

71
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, but I gotta moved to Friday and maybe

72
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving thing. But Mike Keith of the Tennessee Titans

73
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: sat down with their own Mark Vandermers. We'll have that

74
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: for You'll give you my picks straight up and against

75
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: the spread, we'll review how I did on Thursday night,

76
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: which I got two winners, but against the spread, I

77
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: was I was thanks to the Redskins and actually Matt Stafford.

78
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: Stafford goes down and leads Alliance to a win. I

79
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: would hit that out of the park because I picked

80
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: that as an upset. Then I picked the Cowboys to win,

81
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: but the Redskins to get inside seven and a half points.

82
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: It finished at eight. So thanks. And then I just

83
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: I blew the Falcons Saints. Oh, I just thought the

84
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: Falcons would I thought the Saints would win. I got

85
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: that right, but I thought the Falcons would play a

86
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: little bit better than they did. That's it's equal parts

87
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: the Saints being as good as they are. I mean,

88
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: Drew Brees throwing to four guys that she'd never even

89
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: heard of and four touchdowns. I mean, they make one

90
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: point nine million on the season, and Drew Brees makes

91
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: one point six million a game. So there's that. But

92
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: the Saints are just they're really good and they're playing

93
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: really well at this part. So you'll have my picks.

94
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: And then the players segment we always close with on

95
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: a Friday, we will get to know Julian Davenport. We

96
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: will have player reporter spotsored by Arctic, and this week

97
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: it has to do with which players house would you

98
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: rant on an Airbnb? So that's fun. And of course

99
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: k jack Kareem Jackson given out T shirts. Two he's

100
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: given out T shirts, so you have to stick around

101
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: to see who he gives one two on this one

102
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: and then our final Drew Doherty. This week it is

103
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: Brennan Scarlett. So looking forward to hearing from Brennan. I

104
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: think he's one of the one of the more unique

105
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: guys on this team for a number of different reasons.

106
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: But I love him. I think he has found a

107
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: really nice niche and role on this team, and I

108
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: think he is going to be a factor in everything

109
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: this team does going forward in twenty eighteen in particular.

110
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: So we hear from Brennan Scarlett, the one guy that

111
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: we are always going to hear from. Right off the top, though,

112
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: we find out and we hear from in our Hot Reads.

113
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: Hot Reads presented to you by Geico fifteen minutes considered

114
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: fifteen percent or more on cart Insurance. And that would

115
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: be the head coach you're Houston Texans, Bill O'Brien, Mark

116
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: Vandimir said down him earlier today, Coach, I know you

117
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: want to run the football. What about game planning within

118
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: the running game? Not all runs are created equal. How

119
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: difficult is it to choose how you want to run

120
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: the ball against this Titans defense. That's a big, big deal,

121
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: you know, That's that's what makes this defense so hard

122
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: to go against, you know, because you don't know you

123
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get personnel wise and things like that.

124
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: So you know, we just have to do a good

125
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: job of adjusting during the game, making sure that you know,

126
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: our guys understand the game plan going in and then

127
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: just being able to adjust it. How much is it

128
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: looking at that first game tape versus what they've been

129
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: doing lately overall Tennessee, You got to look at the

130
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: first game. You know, every every team develops over time

131
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: during the season, but you know, that first game is

132
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: definitely information that you have to use and then you

133
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: have to really study what they've been doing lately. But

134
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's important in the division to make sure

135
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: that you look at that first game to have all

136
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: the information that you can going into the game. What

137
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: makes them so good once you get past their front seven, Yeah,

138
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: they do a good job in the back end. I

139
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: mean Vaccaro Buyered or playing really really well at safety.

140
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: They're very physical, good tacklers, very tough guys, you know,

141
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: good football players. And then you know the corner position

142
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: I think is very good at Dorry Jackson, Logan, Ryan,

143
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler. I think I think they're very strong on defense,

144
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a big challenge for us. All right,

145
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: when you get ready for what they present to you offensively,

146
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: you have to be ready for the unpredictable, right because

147
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: they kind of went to that last time. Yeah, no doubt.

148
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean we've got to be ready for We gotta

149
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: be very focused on Monday night, very alert. You know,

150
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: they do a good job of scheming things up, and

151
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: we have to. You know, there's gonna be something in

152
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: there that you know, maybe we didn't practice against or

153
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: we didn't see, and we have to make sure that

154
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: we're playing good fundamental football. Everybody's communicating well and stay

155
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: on top of those things. You got another game with

156
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: Carter as the return man and all phases of special teams.

157
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: What are you looking at in this matchup? Yeah, I

158
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: mean I think special teams is big. I mean it

159
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: was obviously big in the first game. You know, they

160
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: faked the punt for a touchdown on us, and you

161
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: know it's big, and so I think that for us,

162
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, special teams is always important. I think our

163
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: special teams units have improved over the year, and I

164
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be really important on Monday night, when

165
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 1: you have a prime time game, you have all day

166
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: to wait before you play. How does that affect what

167
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: you do on game day versus a noon start. Friends, Yeah,

168
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: I think it's more about the players. Making sure that

169
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: the players are ready. I think for coaches, we're staying

170
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: on our routine and you know, maybe making sure that

171
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: we fine tune things and and uh, you know, get

172
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: ready for the game. But I think for the players,

173
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: you know, they need to get rest, they need to

174
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: but you can't sleep all day, you know what I mean.

175
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: You gotta get them up. You gotta meet with them

176
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: and make sure they're eating properly and things like that

177
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: and staying alert and and just ready to go. I

178
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: don't think we'll have any problem, you know, being ready

179
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: to go on Monday night. I mean, if there's blood

180
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: pumping through your veins, you're gonna be ready to go

181
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: on Monday night. It's Monday and at football and you're

182
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: at home for the first time in a month. That's

183
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: gotta be special. Yeah, no doubt. I mean, we get

184
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: a chance to play in front of our fans, and

185
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: we really want to go out and play well against

186
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: a very good team, and you know, our fans are great.

187
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: They're the best in the NFL. It's loud, it's a

188
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: it's a fantastic environment and we're looking forward to it. Coach,

189
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: thanks a lot, good luck, Thanks Fannie. Let's get to

190
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: our next hot read, and that is the injury report. Now,

191
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: typically on Fridays, Typically on Fridays, we have the status

192
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: report out, doubtful, questionable, we have that we need to

193
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: find out who's in, all that kind of stuff. We

194
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: usually get that on Friday, but it being a Monday

195
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: night game, that report will not come out until Saturday.

196
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: Got that until Saturday, That's when you'll find out. So

197
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: when you're at home watching some college games on Saturday,

198
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: that's when you will get the announcement and who's in,

199
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: who's out, who's questionable. On the Titan side, it does

200
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: appear that Marcus Mariota is going to be in. He

201
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: did fully participate in practice on Friday, that being today,

202
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: and it looks like he's going to practice tomorrow on

203
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: sub I guess whatever walkthrough they'd have on Sunday as well,

204
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: And it does appear as if Marcus Mariota will start

205
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: and play after the stinger that he suffered against Indianapolis

206
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: Colts last week. That's probably the biggest earth shattering. But

207
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: that's probably the biggest note from an injury report aspect

208
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: going into this one. Now on the Texans side, a

209
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: lot of names, but no DMPs. So that's at least

210
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: good for the Texans. Nobody in the DMP category, but

211
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: for your Texans limited participants day in practice, Keiki Qt,

212
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, Dave and Zach kind of him, kind of

213
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: expected those guys, Duke edgre Fos been on there, Zach

214
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: Fulton deal with that shoulder, Sineill come at their deal

215
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: with the ankle, and the JJ Watt dealing with a knee.

216
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: Now JJ's popped up on the injury port before I

217
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: think dealing with I think it's a knees with both

218
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: of them. So he was a limited participant, but copefully

219
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be good, ready to go full participants. Here's

220
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: what I know will be people very interested in Aaron

221
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: Colvin full participant. Now that does not mean that Aaron

222
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: Colvin will be one hundred percent ready to go on

223
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: Monday night, but it is trending in that particular direction.

224
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: So Colvin, Julian Davenport, Andre Howe, Jonathan, Joseph Whitney, Merciless,

225
00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: Brian Peters. They were all back as full participants in

226
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: practice now as it pertains too. I know, we get

227
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: the question about Dante Foreman, and we get that each

228
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: and every week on cooler talk. I don't I don't know.

229
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what we could find out Friday night

230
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: at eleven o'clock in the evening, we could find out

231
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Well, we could find out more later about

232
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: Deantey Foreman getting ready for the Tennessee Titans. But nothing

233
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: as of this point, so he doesn't show up an

234
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: injury report neither. There's Dylan Cole. When we talked about

235
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: that earlier in the week, Dylan Cole's twenty one day

236
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: window has been opened. He is ineligible to play this

237
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: week against the Tennessee Titans, but he's eligible to play

238
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: due to the timing of the IR rules. He is

239
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: eligible to play next week against Cleveland. We'll see if

240
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: he is then activated. And then if he is activated,

241
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: obviously there's got to be a requisite move at that point.

242
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: If you bring Dylan Cole back, then that means you've

243
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: got to move somebody else off the roster. The same

244
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: thing we'll go with Deonta Foreman. So decision process for

245
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: Coal is put off for another week, but the decision

246
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: process for Foreman that is still that is still ahead.

247
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: So we'll see now. And QT Hopkins, I would imagine

248
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: those guys are gonna stay limited participants all the way through,

249
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: and there's no sense to even there no sense to

250
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: even take them off it now. I think the bigger

251
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: question on Monday night has to do with Sneil Callamete

252
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: and Zack Fulton, those two, whether they can come back. Now.

253
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: We saw Zach come back to the field, saw Senil

254
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: come back to the field, so they were both on

255
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: the sidelines of the second half. I don't know if

256
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: either one of them could have come into the game

257
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: at that point if something else had happened to those linemen.

258
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: But the Texans were down to their final five, the

259
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: final five they had on the field, and that was

260
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: for a significant, significant period of time. So if Sanil

261
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: and Zach are unable to go, then the Texans may

262
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: have to they may have to do some things with

263
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: the roster to make sure that they've got six or

264
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: even seven you want to he'd like to go at seven,

265
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: but that's where these this becomes huge that Sneil and

266
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: Zach would be able to go. Now, we don't know

267
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: one way or the other, but having them available would

268
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: give you Mance and rankin as lineman six and seven respectively,

269
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: and going into the game having seven ends up being huge. Now,

270
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: the Titans last year, last time, I think they only

271
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: had six. Maybe they only had six because both Luan

272
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: and Conklin were out and so was Dennis Kelly, the

273
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: brother of Tim Kelly. He was in hospital six, So

274
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: I think they only had six active. So you'd like

275
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: to go on with seven, I mean eight to luxury.

276
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: But if you go with seven, you feel okay. So

277
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye on Sneil and Zach this week

278
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll be able to get back into the lineup,

279
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: which would be which would be fantastic. I'm unna football. Now.

280
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: I mentioned Marcus Mariota back for the Titans. Taylor Luan

281
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: missed practice today he was sick, and Ben Jones has

282
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 1: been dealing with his shoulder. He was limited today. So

283
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: not as if the Tennessee Titans offensive line is skating

284
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: through unscathed, but that is definitely something that we will

285
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: keep our eyes on for sure, Taylor Luan being sick

286
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: like I said, Denis Kelly was sick last time, he

287
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: missed that entire weekend. It was still in the hospital

288
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: after that game was over for the next couple of days,

289
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: I think. And men Jones has been dealing with the

290
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: shoulder for a little bit. I want to say that

291
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: he left the game against Indianapolis. So some definite things

292
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: on both sides keeping on, especially on both offensive lines.

293
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: All right, we get back. It's top for our deep

294
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: slant interview of the week this week, it's Kaimi Fairbairn.

295
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: And don't even ask me to save his middle name

296
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: his full name. I can't do it, Mark can't. I can't.

297
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: And Kaymie's okay with that, but he'll do it for

298

00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: and sideline reporter. It's time for our Deep Slant Interview

308
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: of the week. Now. We had a little bit of

309
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: a change, if you will. We had planned for one

310
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: player for deep slant and then little curveball, little change up,

311
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: if you will, and we ended up with another kicker.

312
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: Kayimi fairbarn who knocked on with fifty four yarder last

313
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: week against the Washington Redskins, the game winner, sat down

314
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: with our own Deep Situ for a deep Slant interview

315
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: the week Deep you take it away, all right? Joining

316
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: me today, Kaiimi Fairbairn through week eleven, the leader in

317
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: field goals made and attempted. You've done it. You've done

318
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: a lot of kicking this year, Kamie, haven't you. Yeah.

319
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: I mean we're winning games, so you know usually that

320
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: goes hand in hand with kicking a lot, so you know,

321
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: hopefully we can keep this going. You've had a couple

322
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: of really stressful situations where the last second field goals

323
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: Kareem Jackson called the walk off kick to win the game.

324
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: I imagine that's got to be a pretty special feeling.

325
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: Do you prepare any differently for those kicks than any

326
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: the other ones throughout the course of a game. No, Actually,

327
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: that's what's great about it, those type of situations. I

328
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: try to keep everything the same, you know, try to

329
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: go through my routine, my technique, and um, you know,

330
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: treat it like I do in practice. You know, you

331
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: try to put yourself and those heavy pressure situations during

332
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: practice kind of build to that and then when it

333
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: comes to the game time, you're ready. It seems like

334
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: that something billboard practice is a lot of situational football.

335
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: How different does he make those situations for field goals

336
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: for you guys? Yeah, I mean he's He's been great

337
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: for us, for me especially, you know, trying to trying

338
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: to build that in the offseason, just like being ready

339
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: for those situations, and um, when it came to game time, Um,

340
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: it paid off. And then this year it seems like

341
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: there's a completely different attitude as far as special teams,

342
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: especially with Brad Seely and Tracy Smith. No doubt the

343
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: special teams have a little bit of a swhacker, don't they. Yeah,

344
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: it's actually very exciting, UM, fun to see. A lot

345
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: of guys are pumped about special teams and um, you know,

346
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: it's a big part of the game. And we got

347
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: a great suit set of guys who, um, you know,

348
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: put a lot of effort into it. Yeah, you've got

349
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that you've added in the offseason.

350
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: And then new return man DeAndre Carter joins the team.

351
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: How easy or heart is it for a guy to

352
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: come in? He came in before the bye week, nobody

353
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: was even really here, and then he started in that

354
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: game or played in that game against Washington, returned a

355
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: kickoff return to punt. Is it easier or harder for

356
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: a kick returner to do that? Um? You know with

357
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: the guys we got blocking, uh, you know, it makes

358
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: it easier on him. But you know what I always

359
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: say is if you're good, and you're good, so um,

360
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: and I think he's he's one of the good ones.

361
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: So to put him back there, Um, you know, with

362
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: our blockers and our our for on special teams, I

363
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: think we do really well together. I've heard that Brad

364
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: Seely and Tracy Smith sort of have like this Yin

365
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: and Yang way of coaching, Like one sort of you know,

366
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: Brad Seeley is like the older type, but they're they're

367
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: and Tracey's a little bit younger. But they've worked together

368
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: for a long time. When, Yeah, what are they both

369
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: like and how do they sort of divide up the responsibilities. Yeah,

370
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: they're a great team. Um. I learned a lot from

371
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: them so far, both of them. Um. And you know,

372
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: they bring different things to the game to for me mentally,

373
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, they try to keep me sharp. Um, and

374
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: you know I've learned a lot from both of them. All. Right,

375
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: on Monday Night, you guys face Marcus Mariota likely with

376
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: the Titans. Didn't face him the first time around. You

377
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: and Marcus, you guys both obviously from Hawaii, right, but

378
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: you've had a little bit of a relationship with them

379
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: dating back to high school. Right, Yeah, we go back

380
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: to soccer days. Um, we both played soccer together. We

381
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: were always rivals, I believe it or not. Um, he

382
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: was rival soccer team, rival high school, so and then

383
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: actually rival in college too at Quinn, Oregon. I went

384
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: to UCLA. So kind of interesting. Um, but he's he's

385
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: a good guy. I'm looking forward to competing with him

386
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: again this this week. Soccer football as well too, or

387
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: just soccer. Yeah, both both both you guys both played

388
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: football and soccer, and then you decided to go to

389
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: the football route. Why is that? Um well, probably just

390
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: a reject soccer player, you know. Yeah, that's how it

391
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: goes sometimes. So um yeah, I went, I would think

392
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: that the guys from Hawaii, you guys keep in touch

393
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: because it's not a big, big group of of of

394
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah we charge you. Um, you know, he's he's got

395
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: that Loha spirit, you know, always always kind, always always

396
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: give him back, and um he's been great for Hawaii

397
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I try. I try to keep

398
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: in touch with him much as I can do. You

399
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: a lot of fans from Hawaii that reach out to you, Yeah,

400
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: every now and then. We're we're at close knit community,

401
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: real family oriented, so you know, I try to get

402
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: try to get stay in touch with as much as

403
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: I can. Um. I know we've asked you this before,

404
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: and Mark vandermir loves to say your full name. He's

405
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: the only one that can say it. So I'm gonna

406
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: make you say it, okay for me because I want

407
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: to I want to hear you say it. I know

408
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: we have. I feel like he should say it in

409
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: a call. I don't think he's like worked up to

410
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: it just yet. Um it's John Christian Ala okay. And

411
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: how often do you actually have to use your full

412
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: name and anything? Very rarely? Yeah, Um, you know, now

413
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: that it's kind of gotten out, I kind of have

414
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: to say it a little more. But that's your cool

415
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: party trick, is I I apologize? Yeah? Exactly. I cannot

416
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: help myself all right? Monday night game Primetime? Is it

417
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: any different being playing in a Primetime game? What do

418
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: you remember of Monday night games growing up? Um? I'm

419
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's only game on so that's exciting, but

420
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: you know it's it's his routine for me, Um, being

421
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: sharp mentally and going out there and take care of business.

422
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: Is there a particular game that you remember growing up? Um,

423
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: and I'm putting you on the spot. Well, I honestly

424
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: I remember Kickers. Um. I always, ever since I started kicking,

425
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: I always try and you know, watch what they're doing. Um,

426
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: you know, whenever they get a shot on the sideline,

427
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: like how they're warming up? Um, you know, what's their

428
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: what's their process again? Ready for a kick? Um? So

429
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: you know I always watched, like you know, Dan Bailey

430
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 1: Adam Minitary. Um, you know Jason Elam. You know he

431
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: went to Universal Wife, so, um, those kind of guys. Yeah,

432
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: that's what I kind of pay attention. I feel like

433
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: when I was growing up, it was the same kicker

434
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: for like thirty years, like Phil Dawson, those guys were

435
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: around for such a long time. Yeah, and now it

436
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: seems like almost like a new generation of kickers there

437
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: is coming in a lot of teams with the younger

438
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: kickers taking over. Is it easier now you think with

439
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: the way the rules are with kickoffs and such that,

440
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: or do you you know it's it's actually a good

441
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: balance of both um, old and new. Um. You know

442
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: there's three or four kickers that you know are older

443
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: than thirty thirty nine, so um, you know, learning from

444
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: those guys they is you know, there's more um, you know,

445
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: attension to detail, I guess, and you know, just trying

446
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: to learn from those guys and you know, start a

447
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: new generation of kicks. It's pretty cool. It's kind of

448
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: nice to have your same long snapper in place though,

449
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: right with Oh yeah, I mean he's phenomenal at what

450
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: he does. Yeah, Um, it's been great to learn from

451
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: you know him and we had Shane here past couple

452
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: of years. You know, all those guys, they it helps

453
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: a lot. It's it's it's hard, it's hard to replace,

454
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: all right. So in a normal week, I know we've

455
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: had a couple of strange weeks, a short week and

456
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: then the long week. But now moving for the rest

457
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: of the season, what are do you work on a

458
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: different skill set every week? Do you sort of work

459
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: on the same technique every week? I know this last

460
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: week we've talked a lot about the technique and how

461
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: the ball is spun, and you know, what are some

462
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: things that you work on and how do you determine

463
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: what that's going to be week too? Yeah, it's kind

464
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: of like a work in progress. Um. Throughout the season,

465
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 1: you might find something you need to work on that's

466
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: different from where you were in the beginning of the year. Um,

467
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a golf swing. You know, you

468
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: find one thing that works one week and you're like, Okay,

469
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: that feels good, and then maybe one week it's different. So, UM,

470
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: it's constant critiquing. UM, you know, always learning. That's what

471
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: I try and do for every kick. Every kick is

472
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: not a success or a failure, but rather learning you

473
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: know what I do right there? What I do wrong there?

474
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: Type of deal. I feel like this year you've you

475
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: guys have been in so many different situations. I mean

476
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: that's normal for the NFL. But in Denver obviously with

477
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: the altitude, and now you've got three straight home games.

478
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: But then you've got some pretty cold games coming up.

479
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: I know Bill has talked about how the game plan

480
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: sort of changes with cold weather games, like you want

481
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: to run the ball more and whatnot. How does it

482
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: change for kickers? Be interesting? Obviously the ball doesn't fly

483
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: as far. Um, and then you know with precipitation, like

484
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: what's that going? What's that like? So um? Then New

485
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: York and Philly, it'll be fun seeing what you don't

486
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: even know. It could be snowing exactly. You don't know

487
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: what to expect. So um, just take it day by day.

488
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: What we're going to focus on this week, and um,

489
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: we're lucky to be home this week. I think you

490
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: should tell Bill that you need one of those snow

491
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 1: blowing snow machines. Have a fake snow practice. Yeah, situational, man,

492
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: That's why I enjoyed being in Houston. You don't have

493
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: to worry about it. You really don't. All right, good stuff.

494
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: We enjoy you being here. Ki stop by anytime, kind

495
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: of Fairbaron on Texans Radio. Thanks. The Hawaiian connection is

496
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: pretty significant nowadays in college football. Yeah, obviously, and this

497
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: one are gonna have Marks Mariota and Kimie Fairbaron and UCF.

498
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: Right now, you got a guy by the name of

499
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: McKenzie Milton who came from I believe he's from Honolulu.

500
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: So he's tearing it up with UCF. In fact, he

501
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: now he missed a game or two, I believe, so

502
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: he may not be up in the heis and rankings,

503
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: but he's got UCF undefeated and then for the second

504
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: straight year and he's been the guy. So you got

505
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: two A Tonga Byloa at Alabama. Boy, how awesome would

506
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: that be? If Alabama and UCF could be the playoff?

507
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: And I know it sounds sort of no way, there's

508
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: no chance I gonna let ucfan. I could see a scenario.

509
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: I could see a scenario where it could happen. Could

510
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: could happen. I don't know if it will, but I

511
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: think it could. Now you need you need Alabama to

512
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: beat Georgia. You would need you probably would need Ohio

513
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: State to beat Michigan and then Northwestern to beat Ohio

514
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: State in successive weeks. I could see that happening. You

515
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: would probably need Washington to beat Washington State. That could happen,

516
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: and you need UCF to win out of course, and

517
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: UCF will take up Memphis. Memphis ended up beating Houston,

518
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: blew them out today at the Liberty Bolt in Memphis.

519
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: Blew out the University of Houston that up at Memphis

520
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: in the AAC Championship game against UCF. But Kinsey Milton

521
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: tongue of to a tongue of Bloa and to his

522
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: brother Talia actually visited was on our official visit at

523
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: LSU the same night his brother was playing for Alabama

524
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: against Ellis Huton bat Rouge. So at Orson, he knows

525
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: how to recruit, but Hawaiian connection is for real now.

526
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: To his brother Talia, actually he and his family moved

527
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: to Tuscaloosa when TWA went to Alabama, so he's actually

528
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: moved to Alabama. But it's a it's a wine connection.

529
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: So you've got that going on right now in college football,

530
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: and it's making its way out into the NFL. Like

531
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: we said, you've got Marcus Mariota, You've got kind of Fairbairn.

532
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: So you've got plenty of representation, at least in this

533
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: game coming up, two of the ninety two will be

534
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: from the state of Hawaii. I don't know if I

535
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: can do math really quickly, it's not I don't know

536
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: if that's a huge number, but for considering how small

537
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: Hawaii is, I think that's a pretty significant number, no

538
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: question about that. All Right, we get back, We're gonna

539
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: go through our first greet credit Union keys to the game.

540
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: I got them for you. How the Texans gonna get

541
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: win him eight in row? How are they gonna be

542
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: one or no? After the weekend? I will break all

543
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 1: that down for you next right here in Texans All Access,

544
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: the Choose Fun Moment of the Week is brought to

545
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 1: you by Carnival. Carnival, the official cruise line of the

546
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. Choose Fun. Hey, don't forget to enter for

547
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: your chance to win a cruise every week if the

548
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: Texans catch a touchdown and our Choose Fun moment from

549
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: this last week. Now, I've played a couple of them

550
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: during the week, but I feel like there are two

551
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: moments and they were big moments. What of them happened

552
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: on first down, first down at the Redskins thirty six,

553
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: McCoy and the gun, Peterson to his left. McCoy gets

554
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: the snap, McCoy looking, McCoy in trouble and he sacked

555
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: J J. Watt brings him down. And I think the

556
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: other one happened on third down, and that would be

557
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: here McCoy and the gun. I'm third and ten. McCoy

558
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: getting ready to pass, Cloudy sacks him back at the

559
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: twenty seven yard line. Jade with the putdown by Those

560
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,959
Speaker 1: are two fun moments, I tell you, those are fun moments.

561
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: That is from Carnival, the official cruise line O the

562
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: Houston Texans Shoes fun. All right, let's get into this one.

563
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: And by the way, welcome back through Friday edition of

564
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: Texans All Access from the Monday Texans Radio Studio. I'm

565
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: your host, John Harris, glad to be with you this evening,

566
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: and it's time for our first community Credit Union, first

567
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: glance Keys to the game. How will the Texans do this?

568
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: On both sides of the ball? So where do you

569
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: want to start? Where do you want to start? Where

570
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: do you want to start? Well, I am going to

571
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: start on the offensive side of the ball, because well,

572
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: let's just start on the offensive side of the ball.

573
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: So let's face the Tennessee defense. Now. It's a defense

574
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: that right now is eleventh in the league in stopping

575
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: the run one hundred yards per game, they're ninth in

576
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: the league and passing yards allowed, giving up two thirty five.

577
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: It's a total offense, they're ninth in the league three

578
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: thirty five, generated nine turnovers. You know, a lot of

579
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: the key pieces this is a defense that we're very

580
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 1: familiar with, Joe Casey, Wesley Woodyard, Bryan Rakbo, and then

581
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: the three corners Dory Jackson, Logan Ryan and Malcolm Butler.

582
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: I think another player to keep an eye on is

583
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: gonna end up being Harold Landry. That to me, ends

584
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 1: up being a really big focus in this game. And

585
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: now we'll see Landry. I didn't I don't remember seeing

586
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: him all that much in the Colts game, but I

587
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: know we had to be out there, especially with Luck

588
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: throwing a football. So Harold Landry is a key. He

589
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: sat out Week one against the Dolphins because of injury.

590
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: When he came back in Week two, he wasn't quite

591
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: where you thought he might be, and that that was

592
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: scary because he ended up playing pretty well in Week two,

593
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: didn't play all one hundred percent of plays and still

594
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: won't play a hundred percent of plays. But man, he

595
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: can rush the quarterback. Whoa boy, he can rush the quarterback,

596
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: and he'll be one of our keys here in just

597
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: a second. So let's get to the keys on the

598
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. Now. Number one is eliminating

599
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: number ninety nine. Now, if you just flipped on the

600
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: radio at this particular moment, you hear you heard me

601
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: say eliminate ninety nine, You're like you what, No, no no, no,

602
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: the Titans ninety nine eliminate him. And by eliminate him,

603
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: I just mean you've got to take Jarrell Casey out

604
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: of the game. And what I mean by is he

605
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: cannot be a factor. Not injury, but he can't be

606
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: a factor. He can ruin the game. And he's done

607
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: it before and he's done it against the Texans. He

608
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: has ruined plays with his penetration. But the one thing

609
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: that I noticed about the game against the Colts was

610
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: the fact that Quinnin Nelson, the first round rookie from Indianapolis,

611
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: really kept ninety nine in check. In fact, there were

612
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: times where Nelson had him one on one and just

613
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: swallow him up, did nothing, And the Tennessee defense kind

614
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: of fell in line with that meeting. They struggled. They

615
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: struggled mightily when ninety nine was contained. So if you

616
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: can eliminate the impact of Duelle Casey, and I go

617
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: back to the win last year, fifty seven fourteen win,

618
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: Troe Casey didn't do a whole lot in that game.

619
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: He was held in check and large Parkins of Texas

620
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: were throwing a ball, getting rid of the ball very quickly,

621
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: but they were running. They were taking chunks of yards

622
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: at times, and a lot of that was coming because

623
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: Casey was getting tired and they were running right at

624
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: him and took him out of the game. That took

625
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: the Tennessee defense out of the game. So to me,

626
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: the very first key has got to be eliminate the

627
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: impact of ninety nine er Casey. Number two, you better

628
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: know where the blitzers are coming from. You better know

629
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,959
Speaker 1: where they are in the field and where they're lined up,

630
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: and you better know how to combat them. Because the

631
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: Texans threw the ball and did whatever they really wanted

632
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: to against the Titans in Nashville, and all, honestly, go

633
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: go look at the go look at the game film,

634
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: go look at the game film. And they threw the

635
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: ball when they wanted to. But the only time really

636
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: the Titans kind of held firm against the passing game

637
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: was when they brought blitzes against the Shaw Watson the

638
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: offensive line, in particular, the nickel blitz Logan Ryan came

639
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: Scott free. He had a sack in that game. And

640
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean he he just split guard. Tackle, didn't account

641
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: for him, didn't have enough bodies to account for him.

642
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: He ended up getting a sack. You better know where

643
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: the blitzers can come from and account for him. The

644
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: Sean's got to be upright and helling this one. And

645
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: if you do see a blitzer coming, Sean's gotta get

646
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: rid of the football. But you better know where they are,

647
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: where they can come from. Because Danps and Mike Rabel

648
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: and I don't know, Demps ends up being a factor

649
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: in this. I don't know exactly where Demps fits into this.

650
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: Whether he can come back, whether he can travel, whether

651
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: he can be at the game, I don't know. So

652
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: it might be Mike Rabel calling the defense. Maybe somebody

653
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: else called a defense. I don't know, but they're gonna

654
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: bring that Nickel blitz and if it's Frabel, I go

655
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: back to the Patriots game in twenty seventeen. One of

656
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: the best things he did in that game was bring

657
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: Marcus Gilchrist off the edge and almost ended the game

658
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: with a fumble by Marcus Gilcrist couldn't come up with

659
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: the fumble, ended up losing that game. I don't want

660
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: to go into that, but Mike Vrabel will bring a

661
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: similar blitz, so DMPs knows it. Mike Vrabel knows it.

662
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: Get a better account for the blitzers. And it's not

663
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: as if Tennessee just brings eight dam pressure and like

664
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: zero coverage across the board. They're not going to do that.

665
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: But they bring four, they bring five and six intelligently.

666
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: They'll dread. They'll show you one on side, two guys, drop,

667
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: two guys come zone. Blitz concepts will do that all day.

668
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: But you better know where the Nico blitzer is for sure,

669
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: no doubt Number three. But Dorry Jackson had an interception

670
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: in the first matchup, but the Colts really went after

671
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: him with t Y Hilton. Now t Y Hilton and

672
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins two different receivers. Kiki QT has got kind

673
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: of the quickness in the speed of t Y Hilton,

674
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: but he doesn't really have the experience, so it's a

675
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: little different. You don't have You don't have a t

676
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: Y Hilton that you can spring on a Dory Jackson.

677
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: You do have DeAndre Hopkins, but I don't know if

678
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: they'll match up with Dory Jackson DeAndre Hopkins. I don't

679
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: know if they'll want to do that if they do

680
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: all day long. The point being though, was that Jackson

681
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: struggled in that game against the Colts, and as as

682
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: mentally fatigued as a player can be at this point

683
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: of the year, if he gives one up early, that

684
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: can get in his head, especially after last week. So

685
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: I would test the Dorry Jackson as early as possible.

686
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: Test him see where his confidence level is. His confidence

687
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: level is high in that game after he had the

688
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: interception against us, but test him, see where he is.

689
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: He did not play extremely well against the Colts. Test him,

690
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: go at him, and then when you make gets bless him.

691
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: Number four. I mentioned Harol Landry earlier, so I won't

692
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: elaborate too much on this, but he is an issue.

693
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: You've got to give help Wherever fifty eight lines up

694
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: and Landry wants to go high, he wants to run

695
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: around the edge, bend it back. That's what you can't allow.

696
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: So the tackles got to know if they've got help,

697
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: that help has got to make sure it's forced back

698
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: inside or underneath. What they don't want is Landry to

699
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 1: just run around him and they work his way back.

700
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: That's trouble. That's the guy that Deshaun can't see. But

701
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: if you keep him in front and you force him

702
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: either spin back inside or work inside, you can then

703
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: creater him down. The Shaun can work out around him

704
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 1: and make a play. But Harold Landry is a problem,

705
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: a big problem. Keen number five last week for the

706
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: Titans against the Colts, the inside linebackers, the cover linebackers,

707
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: they would lose tight ends, and what I mean by

708
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: that is the tight ends would chip. So the tight

709
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: ends would help on the rushers. Jack Doyle had had

710
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 1: a big play early in the game, second or third down,

711
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: second and third long and Doyle just slammed on the

712
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: defensive end the rusher and I can't remember who it was,

713
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: maybe been a rackbo just hammered him and the inside

714
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: linebacker dropped and when he dropped, he didn't see anybody

715
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: over there because Doyle is in the process of chipping,

716
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: so he just dropped in the middle of the field. Well,

717
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: Doyle chipped and then ran out their flat Andrew Luck

718
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 1: was like, he's wide open. Just threw to him fifteen

719
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,919
Speaker 1: yard game first down. So when the tight ends chip

720
00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: and then they get out in the routes, those guys

721
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: could be wide open, wide open, and you're gonna need

722
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: to tightens the chip. There's no question the tight ends

723
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: have got a chip. They've got to continue to improve

724
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: doing that's that's a tough thing to do at times,

725
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: and the backs are gonna have to do it too.

726
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 1: The Titans and backs can be a big factor in

727
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: the passing game in this one, a big one. My

728
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: last key is for the Titans. When you play the

729
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: game down in tight and you play the game in

730
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: the phone booth, if you will, They like that kind

731
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 1: of game. Drag it down in the muck, the grit

732
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: and the grind, and that's the Titans game. You spread

733
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 1: them out a little bit and they might have an issue.

734
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: They had an issue with it last year. When they

735
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: were here. They had an issue with it. In Nashville,

736
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: when we got them spread out and just made quick throws,

737
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: they couldn't deal with it. Don't play the game in

738
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: the phone booth. Spread them out. You got fifty three

739
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: yards of the field. Spread them out, and see if

740
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: they can handle it. I don't think they can. I

741
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: don't think they can't. Now let's go to the other

742
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Texas defense Titans offense. Now. I

743
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: know you're thinking, oh, Mariota is playing, right, he's playing. Oh,

744
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta account for him. Yes and no,

745
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: and we'll get to why. I think Marioda ends up

746
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: being important in this game. But I think there are

747
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: other I think there are other keys. Now. I don't

748
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: know if I have these in the order that I

749
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: would have put him in. I was just kind of

750
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: rifling off some keys this morning as I as I

751
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: finished up article number one. It was pretty important. But

752
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: disguises in the secondary have been very effective against the Titans.

753
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 1: Third play of the game last year, here, Marcus Mariota

754
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: misread a coverage overthrew Dlanny Walker. He had dre Hal

755
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: right in his hands. Huge interception right at the end

756
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: of the first half, same thing. Drey hit Dre Howe

757
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: right in hands, diskises threw him off. So gott to

758
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: use disguises against Marcus this week. That is a big,

759
00:37:53,280 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: big factor. Number two, Dion Lewis. Dion Lewis were be

760
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: more than Derrick Henry and I might live to regret that.

761
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: But what the Titans is going on, the past history,

762
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: the game up in Nashville, and what I've seen lately.

763
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: When Dean Lewis is bottled up, the Titans don't do

764
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: a whole lot. But when Dean Lewis and screens passes

765
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: out of the backfield, running the football, when he is

766
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: able to get loose in loose out in space, it's

767
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: trouble for the defense, and it's great for the Titans offense.

768
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: That's why they had twenty eight against the Cowboys. That's

769
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: why they had thirty four against the Patriots. Dion Lewis

770
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: is a key, and he must be bottled up. Must

771
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: the coach tell them to thirty two total yards? Thirty

772
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: two total yards, We'll score that game thirty eight ten.

773
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,919
Speaker 1: I don't think that's any coincidence. You hold Dean Lewis

774
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: in check, you've got an opportunity key number three, win

775
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 1: one on one matchups. I know that sounds simple, but

776
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 1: in particular the two tackles against the pass rushers, Taylor

777
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: lew On on the left side, Jack cocklind on the right.

778
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: Neither one of them played in the last Times game,

779
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: the game we played in Nashville, neither one of them played.

780
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: And what the Titans did as a result was not

781
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: drop Blaine Gabbett back. But with Conklin and Luan back,

782
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: they will try and drop back. They will try and

783
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: get things. Now. They're not gonna sit there and hold

784
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: the football. That's not that's not their m O. They're

785
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: not gonna have Marcus Mariota back in the pocket taking

786
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: huge seven step drops, but they will drop back more

787
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: often because they do have Conklin and Luan. What merciless

788
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: clowney have got to win those matchups. They must if

789
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: they don't long day, long long day, they do everything else.

790
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: But they came win those matchups. Maybe not as long,

791
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 1: but you got to be able to get to Marcus Mariota,

792
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: got to pressure in his face was a big factor

793
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: against the Colts. Now he completed I think ten and

794
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: of thirteen or eleven of thirteen passes, but he didn't

795
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: have a ton of success. Don a ball on the

796
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: field because there was also four sacks. So drop back

797
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 1: seventeen times they sacked him four. The Colts, the Texans

798
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 1: gotta win those one all one matchups, and if they don't,

799
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to bring Tyron Matthew. You're gonna have

800
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: to bring Kareem Jackson. And they're not scared to do it,

801
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: but I'd rather they didn't so they can have those

802
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: guys in coverage, especially at a guy like our next

803
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 1: key put the clamps on receiver Corey Davis. When Corey

804
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: Davis was drafting number five, I was the only one

805
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: in the building I saw that comment because he's a dude,

806
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: and I actually projected in my mock draft Corey Davis

807
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: going number five to Tennessee. They needed a wide receiver.

808
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: I thought Davis was the best wide receiver net group,

809
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: and he's been the best receiver for the Titans, but

810
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: he's not been at that consistent. Oh my gosh, you're

811
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: checking out what Corey Davis is doing level every single week.

812
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: It flashes. It's good, but it's not over the tip.

813
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,919
Speaker 1: He had a great game against Eagles, but he hasn't

814
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: gotten to that level again. But he can break out.

815
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: He he plays in that game against the Texans. He's physical,

816
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: he's strong, he can run after the catch, he can

817
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: high point the football fifty fifty situations. He is a

818
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: monster physically. He cannot take over the game. Cannot And

819
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 1: key number six This one has to do with those

820
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: edge defenders. And this is why winning one on one

821
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 1: matchups end up being key, because the flip side of

822
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: that is they've also got to play the run. You

823
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: know that Titans are gonna run the football. They're absolutely

824
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: gonna run the football. They're gonna want to run behind

825
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: Taylor of Luee. In particular, the Texans edge defenders gave

826
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: up the outside a few times against the Redskins. Two

827
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: times I can think of in which running backs started

828
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 1: up inside Adrian Peterson and then bounced outside and our

829
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: edge defenders lost. Contain that cannot happen. You let that happen.

830
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: Dean Lewis and Derrick Henry are running downhill all day,

831
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: all day like Adrian Peterson. All day. Peterson only end

832
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: up with fifty one yards on sixteen carries, but in

833
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: key moments downside the red zone, he checked inside bounced out.

834
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: The edge defenders have got to play that a lot

835
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: more consistently than they did last week against the Washington Redskins.

836
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: They've got to maintain that outside edge, so if they

837
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: peek inside, they got to be able to work their

838
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,439
Speaker 1: hands back if the running back does bounce, they can't

839
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: get caught. They can't just get pinned when they're peeking inside,

840
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: all of them, all of them. They've got to play

841
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 1: better and keep contained. Now as it pertains to the rush,

842
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: they've got to be smart about how they're they're rushing

843
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota when they when they get back there, they

844
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: can't allow Marcus to have any kind of scene. And

845
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: that's tough because a couple of our guys like to

846
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: rush high and then work underneath and back, if that

847
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: makes sense. So they've got to make sure that they

848
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: are enveloping Marcus in the well and as soon as

849
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: they do that, he'll look at them, he will look

850
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: the rush, and when you do it, you got him.

851
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,959
Speaker 1: But it's a big game on the edge defenders. Watt

852
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: Mercill's clowney to rush intelligently and ferociously at the same time.

853
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: If that makes sense, but also not loose containing the

854
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: run game. It's a big game for them on Monday

855
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: night against the Titans. So there you have it. First

856
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 1: Community Credit Union, First Glance Keys to the Game has

857
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: brought to you by FFCCU, the Official Credit Union of

858
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. Okay, coming up some mend behind the

859
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: Mikes Mike Keith played by play man for the Tennessee Titans.

860
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 1: Because it's with our old Mark Van of your next

861
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: on Texans Access. Happy Friday, everybody. Welcome back to the

862
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: second hour of Texans All Access from the Honday Texans

863
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: Radio studio right here in NRG Stadium. I'm your host,

864
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: John Harris, football analyst, a sideline reporter, and a lot

865
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: going on here over the next few days. There's high

866
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: school football like you wouldn't believe in this building over

867
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: this weekend and next weekend too. So with all these

868
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 1: home games got coming up with the Titans on Monday

869
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 1: and the Browns on Sunday and then Colts on Sunday,

870
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: a lot of football because you have a ton of

871
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: the playoff games going on. Saw Huntsville hammer Manville earlier today.

872
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: Huntsville's got a couple of dudes, man holy smokes. Those

873
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: two defensive ends they've got, Holy cow. I got one

874
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: going to Texas and one I believe it's a junior.

875
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 1: Oh man. They are really really good for Huntsville. So

876
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: other games that were taking place there were a ton.

877
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: I think there are four of them going on. I'm

878
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: not sure the one that's going on because I've been

879
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: in the studio. I think the middle one ended. So

880
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: I think they're four them today and maybe three m

881
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: tomorrow or three M today and four and tomorrow. Either way,

882
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of football going on. And then on

883
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: Sunday nobody will be in here because the Texans will

884
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: be putting the final touches on the field, on the stadium,

885
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, and then getting ready for

886
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football against the type you remember that is

887
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: a seven fifteen kick against Tennessee. Man, if you're on

888
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 1: the Texans side, you're gonna see the Booger Mobile, which

889
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: you haven't been following Monday Night Football. In a stories

890
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: with Monday in Football, the bookermobile is he's basically got

891
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: one of those rolling carts that you see, but it's

892
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: down a little bit. It's not as high up as

893
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: the camera guys have, and that's where he watches the

894
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: game from. So basically he watches the game from above

895
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: the tops of the players. He's like ten feet up

896
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: in the air. So I guess I'm not to contend

897
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: with that at some point, so that could be kind

898
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 1: of interesting. But that's the first time Monday in Football

899
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: will have been in the building since they've gone to

900
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,879
Speaker 1: this new format with Booger down on the field. Apparently

901
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: in I can't remember where that was, but there was

902
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: one game in which they put they they put this

903
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,959
Speaker 1: big television screen on the back so that the fans

904
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: could watch a television screen, and people were like, no, no, no, no,

905
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: that's not that's not gonna fly. So they kind of

906
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: reconfigured the machine. And yes he'll be in the way,

907
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: so to speak, but it's not as distracting and vision

908
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 1: block if you will, as it was weeks ago. I

909
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: think the one in Buffalo they showed it was like,

910
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. The fans of Buffalo were none too

911
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: pleased about that, but we'll see. Hopefully I don't run

912
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 1: into him when he's on my sideline, but that's what goes.

913
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: Just gotta deal man. Last week in Washington, there are

914
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 1: all kinds of people on the sidelines. I was having

915
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: trouble to find a spot because I always trying to

916
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: stay with the line scrimmage as much as I can

917
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: to get a good view of what's going on. But

918
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 1: when I got down in the far corner, you know

919
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: where where Justin picked the ball off and where DeAndre scored.

920
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: In that end of the field, I was losing reception

921
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: with our booth, so I could only go down so far.

922
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: So anyhow, I was condensed, and there were people. There

923
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: were photographers all over the place. It was crazy. There

924
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: were people on the sidelines before the game, all the

925
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 1: way around. I mean, it was nuts. It was like Oprah.

926
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: It was like you get a sidel one pass, you

927
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: get a sile that pass. I mean, it was all

928
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: over the place. It was crazy. It was crazy. Our

929
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: sidelines not that way. Our sidelines are kept in much

930
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 1: better check, if you will. But Monday night, there'll be

931
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: some people, there will be some photographers, So there'll be

932
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: a little crowded, but won't bother me as long as

933
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: the Texans walk out of there with a w. Now,

934
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 1: the two men that will be calling the action for

935
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: their respective teams caught up with each other today Mark Vannimir,

936
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 1: the Voice Texans, along with the long time voice of

937
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, Mike Keith. These two men knew it

938
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: twice every year. We also catch up with Mike at

939
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: the combine as well. He's a great guy and he

940
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: spent a few minutes with Mark to talk about the

941
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: Titans coming off a tough boss last week to Thedianapolis Colts. Mike,

942
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 1: we have to stop meeting like this second visit this season.

943
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: Here we go. How you doing, my friend? I'm good,

944
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: really excited about Monday Night and excited to see what

945
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: the final six weeks are going to hold. It has

946
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 1: been a crazy season for us and for the NFL.

947
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: So let's roll. Yeah. I think it is kind of

948
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: crazy for you because I look at the Titans and

949
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: the general public outside of Nashville, not all of them,

950
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: but some have left this team for dead a couple

951
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: of times, and you resurrect yourselves, come out with amazing

952
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: victory's beating the Eagles, beating the Patriots, my goodness, cowboys

953
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: on the road Monday Night. That's looking better and better

954
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: all the time. As a strength of schedule type of victory.

955
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: What do you make of this team overall, Mike, I

956
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: don't know. That's a great question mark. That has been

957
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: the real story of the season is this team has

958
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: had not lots of injuries, but they have had key

959
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 1: injuries at tough moments, and that has sort of shown

960
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: itself in different areas. The loss of Delaney Walker has

961
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: been crippling because, as you know, he's such a big

962
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: part of what this team has done, and with the

963
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: offensive change over, I think they expected Delaney to beat

964
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 1: the bridge to get them through the big change. And

965
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: when you lose a guy who catches five passes a

966
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: game and never comes off the field and is a

967
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: good blocker, you really have a hard time figuring out

968
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: who the next go to person is. So that's been

969
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: a real child. The defense, for the most part has

970
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: been good, which is what we expected. We expected defense

971
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 1: to carry this team. We have seen flashes of that

972
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: ram style offense that Matt Lafleur has brought, and in

973
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: those moments you have been if you're a Titans fan,

974
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: you've been very excited. And then at other times we've

975
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: seen a team that gained one hundred and two yards

976
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 1: against Baltimore. So I gotta be honest with you, it

977
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: has really been hard to tell. Week went to Indianapolis

978
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: last week and really thought, Okay, you know, gonna be

979
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 1: ready to play a good game, had a good week

980
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: of practice, and then you know, the game wasn't even competitive.

981
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean, your guest is probably

982
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: as good as mine, Mike against Indianapolis. How much of

983
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: that performance, in your opinion, had to do with what

984
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: was going on with Dan Pas and also Mariota's injury.

985
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on that probably not a lot on either front,

986
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Mark the Dean Pas situation

987
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,720
Speaker 1: where he has to leave the stadium with the medical

988
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: problem in the first quarter, surely it was disconcerting, I

989
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: think from the outside. From the inside just looking at it,

990
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,800
Speaker 1: Jeff to say, it kind of threw the ball club

991
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 1: for a loop. I don't think it's the reason they

992
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: didn't get any pressure on Andrew Luck though the Mariota

993
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: thing happened when they were already down twenty four to nothing,

994
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: So I don't really think you can cite either reason

995
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: as being a big factor in what happened in the

996
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 1: ball game. Certainly significant, you can't dismiss either one. Neither's good,

997
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,320
Speaker 1: but I don't think it had anything to do with

998
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: the final score. What went well against the Patriots, And

999
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: I know they want to bottle that one up for

1000
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,759
Speaker 1: every week's performance. But what is the Titans best game

1001
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: in your opinion as far as the way they play?

1002
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 1: What did they do great in that game? Well, the

1003
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,760
Speaker 1: final three quarters against Dallas and then the game against

1004
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: New England. For those seven quarters, you saw the formula

1005
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: for this ball up and that is to be very

1006
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: multiple in the passing game, taking advantage of every weapon.

1007
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: And Mariota's distribution was much like a point guard on

1008
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,359
Speaker 1: a good basketball team. He got to ball the tight

1009
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:17,240
Speaker 1: ends to backs. Corey Davis played well at wide receiver.

1010
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: They had a lot of things going offensively, and they

1011
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 1: were able to pile up the rushing attempts as well,

1012
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: over thirty rushing attempts. Defensively, pressure, forcing opposing quarterbacks for

1013
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: the ball before they want to, not allowing them to

1014
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: stand back there and take the deep shots because they

1015
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: just don't. Half time, and then playing great defense in

1016
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: the red zone those seven quarters of football. That's what

1017
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 1: the Titans really want to be and that's what they

1018
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: want to look like. And then the four quarters in Indianapolis.

1019
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: Unfortunately for Tennessee they didn't have any of that. Mike,

1020
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: what do you observe in the Houston Texans as you

1021
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,399
Speaker 1: get ready for this one? You saw them week two.

1022
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: You're getting ready for this game? What are you seeing

1023
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: in Houston? I've watched him play five games since we

1024
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: saw one another on September the sixteenth, and the things

1025
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: that I see that jump out to me. First of all,

1026
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller looks really good running the football. I think

1027
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 1: that's the underrated factor about the offense is they are

1028
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: getting good things in the running game. Watson. I loved

1029
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: Watson coming out of Clemson. I just think he's such

1030
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: a smart player. He's such a gamer. He makes things

1031
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: happen at the key moments. And for this offense, they

1032
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: make plays at the key moments when they have to

1033
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: make them. Obviously, having maybe the best receiver in the

1034
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 1: NFL and Hopkins allows them to do it, but that

1035
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 1: is just so key. And then defensively, that front seven

1036
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 1: has really settled in Clowney getting healthy. What maybe the

1037
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 1: comeback player of the year and the defensive most Valuable

1038
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: player of the league all in one. I think the

1039
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: secondary has played a lot better than what people thought

1040
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: they would, sort of having to retool a little bit.

1041
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: And the read kid to me is you're Kevin Byard.

1042
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: We got Kevin Byrd in the third round of the

1043
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen draft, really stole him, and I think you

1044
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: stole Justin Reid in this draft. I think he is

1045
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,919
Speaker 1: a future, if not a current star in this league.

1046
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: But he's just one of those big play people that

1047
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 1: you've got to have. I'm not surprised in the leagues.

1048
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, the seven straight wins after the

1049
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: O and three is you know, only been equaled one

1050
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: other time. But I'm not surprised this team is playing

1051
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 1: as well as they are because I think all the

1052
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 1: components were there. I liked Houston better in the preseason

1053
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: than I like Jacksonville top to bottom, and I think

1054
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: Houston's playing up to its potential. To me, that's the key,

1055
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 1: and that's why Houston leads this division. Is of the

1056
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: four teams, the one team that's playing up to its

1057
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: potential right now is Texas. Mike Keith, voice of the

1058
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: Titans joining us. What about Indianapolis though they're on a role,

1059
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: how good are they? How good can they be, Mike,

1060
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: They're really good. They're really you know, when we were

1061
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: studying them leading up to it, and I'm no expert, listen,

1062
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 1: and I don't claim to be, but as I watched

1063
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: them play, I thought, man, this is how did this

1064
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:25,839
Speaker 1: team lose five games? And you know, I was talking

1065
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: to the football people who really know, and they're like, no,

1066
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: they are playing great football right now. And we saw it.

1067
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: I mean, it's back to the formulas that you and

1068
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: I saw ten fifteen years ago, and that is the

1069
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 1: offense goes and does and then the defense plays that

1070
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: zone concept where they have a bunch of fast people,

1071
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: but because they're ahead of you, they can you know,

1072
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: they're they're not trying to stop every play. What they're

1073
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: trying to do is get a takeaway or you know,

1074
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,879
Speaker 1: trap you get you off the field, make you get

1075
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: field goal. I mean it's almost like Freeney and Mathis

1076
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: are back and the quarterback is out of his mind

1077
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 1: right now. He last week against US he hit fourth

1078
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: and fifth receivers in progressions. He's just not making any mistakes.

1079
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 1: So Indianapolis is incredibly dangerous at this moment. You know,

1080
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: they're a team that could they go from one in

1081
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,959
Speaker 1: five to eleven and five. Yes, if they keep playing

1082
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: like they are, they have that ability right now. They

1083
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: are scary scary football team. Mike. Always great to visit

1084
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: with you. I really look forward to see your Monday night.

1085
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for the time. I good to be

1086
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: with you, Mark, Thanks for having me on. It's always

1087
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: strange when Mark has these voices on. When I hear them,

1088
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: I just immediately flashed back to all the NFL films

1089
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: that I've seen. And of course Mike Keith has been

1090
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: the Playboy play voice of the Tennessee Titans for eons

1091
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: and that dates all the way back to the Music

1092
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: City Miracle. So that iconic call of his that has

1093
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: lasted all these years, I just hear his voice and

1094
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,800
Speaker 1: that's all. That's all I can think about, is that

1095
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: Music City Miracle of Frank Whitecheck throwing it out to

1096
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: Kevin Dyson and then go in the distance. And I

1097
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: always think about that when we go there. But big

1098
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: thanks to Mike Keith for joining us on the show

1099
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: today and giving us the insight on the Tennessee Titans.

1100
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,240
Speaker 1: The five and five Tennessee Titans two games behind the Texans,

1101
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: and Boy this is a big one on Monday night.

1102
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, we've got a full slate of

1103
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: NFL weekends minus two teams. Now three of those games

1104
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 1: took place on Thursday, but we've got the rest, so

1105
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: that means there are twelve games for the rest of

1106
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,720
Speaker 1: the weekend, actually eleven if you don't count the Texans,

1107
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:48,879
Speaker 1: because you know I'm gonna roll with that. I'm picking

1108
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: the Texans to win and to cover. That's just what

1109
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. I do not go against my heart

1110
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: in my head, but we got our Texans pick him

1111
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: coming up, where I pick all games straight up and

1112
00:56:58,160 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 1: against the spreads. Good way to talk about the game,

1113
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 1: talking about the teams, and talk about what's going around

1114
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 1: going on around the NFL. We'll do that next right

1115

1122
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: been on a cruise. People tell me it's something I

1123
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: gotta do before before I, you know, like kick the

1124
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: bucket and go. But I don't know. I don't know.

1125
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: I just like to hang out at the beach. I

1126
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: don't really know that I want to get in a

1127
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: big old boat and cruise, but I don't know. People

1128
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: that do it love it. And you have an opportunity

1129
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: to do that with our Texans. Pick them now, Texas,

1130
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: pick him, I believe is just straight up. You just

1131
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: pick winners. And we've got two, four, six, eight, ten, eleven.

1132
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: We got twelve games, which includes the Texans on Monday night,

1133
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: and you pick them straight up in the way you go. Now,

1134
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: I picked them both straight up and against the spread.

1135
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: That becomes important because of how I did on Thursday

1136
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: or how I didn't do which, by the way, Thursday,

1137
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: November twenty second is a famous day in American history.

1138
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: And you don't know why, then think of that city

1139
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 1: to the north in nineteen sixty three. Then you'll figure

1140
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 1: it out. But it's also the day that my mother

1141
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 1: was born, So it's my mom's birthday. So Mom, happy birthday.

1142
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: They'd try and call you, but you didn't answer. I

1143
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 1: guess your pumpkin pie must have been pretty good and

1144
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 1: you were enjoying it and ignoring me. But either way,

1145
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 1: I was lousy against the spread over the over Thursday.

1146
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: I picked Detroit. That's my upset. I thought Detroit was

1147
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: gonna beat Chicago and get into at a minimum, getting

1148
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 1: inside the number three and a half, and they were

1149
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: on their way to do in that. They were gonna

1150
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 1: ugly that game up against Chicago yesterday. And then Matt

1151
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: Stafford throws an awful, awful, awful pick, not one, but two.

1152
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: The first one goes to Eddie Jackson, who gives the

1153
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: Bears a twenty three sixteen lead, and I'm like, it's okay,

1154
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: there's time. It's Matt Stafford. He'll bring him from behind,

1155
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: take him on down. So we need to take him

1156
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: on down. That's all we need. Come on Stafford, and

1157
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 1: he does, takes him on down, takes him on down,

1158
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: throws a pick in the end zone to end it.

1159
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: I believe that was That wasn't Prince, that was Gosh.

1160
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: I can't remember now who made that pick. But either way,

1161
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: Bears come up with the interception in the end zone.

1162
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 1: Bears win twenty three sixteen Bears now eight and three.

1163
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 1: Big Sunday night win against the Vikings, even bigger win

1164
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: on the short week with Chase daniel in at quarterback.

1165
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: I think Chase Daniels one of the better backup quarterbacks

1166
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 1: in the league, and he showed it well. He made

1167
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 1: some throws. Wow. So I missed that one, and then

1168
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: you got Washington went to Dallas, and I picked Washington

1169
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: to get inside the seven and a half. I took

1170
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: the seven and a half points with Washington, but I

1171
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: said Dallas was gonna win, which I was right. Dallas

1172
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 1: one by eight, and the Redskins, I can't. I was

1173
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: so mad. The Redskins had a chance. Cole McCoy threw

1174
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: to Jordan Reed that would give him a first down

1175
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: and they could have gone to get the touchdown. Even

1176
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: though they didn't win. It would him perfect. They get

1177
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: the touchdown, they missed the down side kicked, they lose

1178
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: thirty one twenty eight something like that. Nope, I had

1179
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: to kick field goal, ended up losing thirty one twenty

1180
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: three with a spread seven and a half at least

1181
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: that's what I had. You might have an eight. I

1182
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: had seven and a half and then Atlanta. I just

1183
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: thought Atlanta would play better coming off the loss of

1184
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: last week. I thought they would play better at going

1185
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 1: against New Orleans. They did not. Atlanta had lost to

1186
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I say, hey, you know, short week, going

1187
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: on the road, you know, backskainst the wall, maybe theyll

1188
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: show up. They didn't show up. They didn't show up.

1189
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: They got four touchdowns the guys you'd never heard of.

1190
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 1: Guy you'd never heard of. New Orleans ends up winning

1191
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 1: thirty one seventeen. So I picked yours to win. But

1192
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 1: I thought I landed at least cover, but that didn't happen.

1193
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 1: So let's get to our games from this weekend. But

1194
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: before we do, give in my music. Please, all right,

1195
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 1: let's get going in a noon game on Sunday. Now,

1196
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: all these games you can watch because they're all taking

1197
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: place on Sunday. So that's great. San Francisco's two and

1198
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: eight goes to Tampa Bay three and seven, Oh my goodness,

1199
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 1: five and fifteen. At the outside of the year, had

1200
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: you looked at this game, you would have thought this

1201
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: has got some NFC Wildcar potential. Jameis Winston versus Jimmy Garoppolo.

1202
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: It's not it's Nick Mullins versus Jamis Winston, and it's

1203
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: been a beaten up Jamis Winston, not physically beaten up,

1204
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: but just tattered and porn all year long. But Tampa

1205
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: Bay is playing at home. San Francisco's got a negative

1206
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 1: body clock game. They're playing this one at a nine

1207
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: o'clock sorry ten o'clock their body clock time. Tampa's fairy

1208
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: about three and a half. Let's take Tampa Bay to

1209
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 1: win and covered that three and a half Seattle. Same

1210
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: situation goes to Carolina. Now, Seattle has had the mini

1211
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 1: by though they played Thursday last Thursday against Green Bay.

1212
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 1: Got that win against Green Bay in a big one.

1213
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: They get this one against Carolina, and Seattle is in

1214
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: a nice spot as it pertains to the wildcard, because

1215
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 1: they will have knocked off Green Bay, they will have

1216
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: knocked off Carolina. However, I don't think they're gonna be

1217
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 1: able to do that to Carolina. I think Carolina is

1218
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: gonna play much better than they've played last couple of weeks.

1219
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: I think Carolina at six and four is gonna get

1220
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 1: this win and Carolina will cover that three and a

1221
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: half point spread. Then the Giants go to Philadelphia. Now,

1222
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,959
Speaker 1: I don't think any team is out of the NFC

1223
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 1: East race. The Cowboys and Redskins are tied at six

1224
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: and five, the Giants are three and seven. A win

1225
01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 1: to get the Giants to four and seven puts him

1226
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,919
Speaker 1: two games behind the Eagles, I'm sorry, two games behind

1227
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: the leaders now, and all those NFC East teams are

1228
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 1: gonna play each other the rest of the year, and

1229
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: a win would be three in a row for the Giants.

1230
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 1: I don't think they get to win at Philadelphia. This

1231
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 1: feels very uglish. This feels twenty three twenty, this feels

1232
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 1: seventeen thirteen, this feels sixteen fourteen. All of those spreads

1233
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: are under six and a half. So I'm taking the

1234
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 1: Giants in the points, but I'm saying that Philadelphia wins

1235
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: this one close, very close, fact, closer than six and

1236
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 1: a half points. If the Giants win this thing, though,

1237
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: it gets really really interesting in the NFC East. At

1238
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 1: that point, the Giants and the Eagles will be tied.

1239
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna come to fruition. I do

1240
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 1: think the Giants will play well. I do think it'll

1241
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: be sort of an ugly game. I think the Eagles

1242
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: will want it that way, but in the end, the

1243
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 1: Eagles will win. The Giants are gonna cover, They're gonna

1244
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take those six and a half. Oakland goes

1245
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 1: to Baltimore. Now Oakland got a second w last week.

1246
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 1: It was Arizona. But now they're going to Baltimore and

1247
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson twenty seven carries one hundred and

1248
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: seventeen yard last week and he threw for one fifty.

1249
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 1: That stat line over one hundred and seventeen yards. Rushing

1250
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 1: over one hundred and seventeen yards passing has been done

1251
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 1: six other times in history. Colin Kaepernick did it three times,

1252
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 1: I can't remember. Somebody else did it twice, and somebody

1253
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 1: did it once. And Lamar Jackson did it once in

1254
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 1: his very first game. That's amazing. I think the Raiders

1255
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 1: are gonna have all kinds of trouble with Lamar Jackson.

1256
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 1: I do think Lamar will struggle a little bit the

1257
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: passing email. He's definitely improved. I think he will struggle

1258
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 1: the passing game, but I don't think the Raiders will

1259
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 1: have any answer. They're gonna try to have an answer,

1260
01:04:58,520 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: but I don't think they have any answer for the

1261
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: on game. Baltimore's favored by ten and a half. We're

1262
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 1: taking Baltimore to win and to cover at home over

1263
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 1: the low leaders. And then Cleveland goes to Cincinnati, who

1264
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: now has an assistant coach by the naming Hugh Jackson.

1265
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 1: And Hugh Jackson was once the head coach of the

1266
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns earlier this year, so there's storylines in this one.

1267
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if that matters Cincinnati though, as favored

1268
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: by three and a half at home. I don't love

1269
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and this one, but I do think Cincinnati is

1270
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: better at this point overall, all around is better than Cleveland.

1271
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give Cincinnati the win and the cover.

1272
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 1: Cincinati's favored by three and a half, so let's take

1273
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: Cincinnati to win by more than three and a half.

1274
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:43,439
Speaker 1: Jacksonville goes to Buffalo. Over the years, I would sort

1275
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 1: of poke fun at this game. Oh man, it's Buffalo,

1276
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: it's Jacksonville fourth place teams. Well, last year I had

1277
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 1: to change that because these two met in the playoffs

1278
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: last year in the wild card playoff round. They met

1279
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:59,160
Speaker 1: this year. They're combined three and fourteen. The defensive Wheels

1280
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 1: did not come completely off for Jacksonville. They intercepted Ben

1281
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger three times. Jayalen Ramsey had two of them. The

1282
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 1: defense played its guts out. They could not score against

1283
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: the Steelers last week. Had they done that, they would

1284
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 1: have done everybody in the AFC a favor. But they

1285
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: did so. I'm giving Buffalo the opportunity to win this game.

1286
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm doing that, but I just feel

1287
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: like that was the last salvo last week. That was

1288
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 1: the last salvo against the Steelers. I think the Jaguars

1289
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 1: packet in. I'm going with Buffalo a three and a

1290
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 1: half point underdog to cover that number, but the Wheels

1291
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 1: aren't gonna fall that far off. I'm gonna take the

1292
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: Jaguars to win, but Buffalo again inside the three and

1293
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: a half point number. New England goes to the Jets. Now,

1294
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: Brady's been sick this week, which I do not think

1295
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,959
Speaker 1: is good news for the Jets. The Jets are nine

1296
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 1: and a half point underdogs. Gronks back Brady when he

1297
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:02,320
Speaker 1: is coming off an injury or illness. If memory serves,

1298
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 1: he usually comes off of that with a vengeance. He's

1299
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 1: coming out of the bye week. I think New England

1300
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 1: does New England things in November. New England hammers the Jets.

1301
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 1: Hammers the Jets. This is gonna be by. You could

1302
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 1: make that spread nineteen and a half and they'd probably

1303
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 1: cover that. Arizona goes to the LA Chargers. Chargers got

1304
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 1: nipped last week by the Denver Broncos. Brandon McManus in

1305
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers building be able to last second field goal

1306
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: after missing one before the bye week against the Texans.

1307
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 1: That will not happen this week. Arizona will play hard,

1308
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 1: but the Chargers will make life miserable for them. I

1309
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: expect the Chargers to win and to cover the twelve

1310
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: and a half point spread. Miami goes to Indianapolis. No

1311
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: Brockoswader this week, at least not to start. Ryan Tannehill

1312
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 1: will start. He threw a practice. If this tells you anything.

1313
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 1: He threw a practice for the first time at the

1314
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: beginning of the week, and after practice, Adam Gay says,

1315
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 1: you're the guy. I don't know what that says, but

1316
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: Adam Ryan Tannehill through it just a little bit and

1317
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 1: Gays is like, yes, you're the guy. I do think

1318
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 1: Indianapolis wins unfortunately, but I do think Miami will get

1319
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 1: inside that number. Have a good friend of mine long

1320
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:16,800
Speaker 1: time ago that said, when an NFL team wins by

1321
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 1: twenty eight one week, fade them the next. So I

1322
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 1: am fading Indianapolis. But I do think Indianapolis will win

1323
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:24,720
Speaker 1: the game. Miami will get inside that eight and a

1324
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:28,760
Speaker 1: half point number. Pittsburgh goes to Denver. Denver's a three

1325
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. They got a big win

1326
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:36,639
Speaker 1: now Denver still it's playoff wild card. Heart is still beating.

1327
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 1: There's no way that they can win it a vision.

1328
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure why. No, they can mathematically do it.

1329
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 1: They're not gonna do it. Could they get a wild card?

1330
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 1: Potentially they'd have to get this one. I do not

1331
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 1: think it happens. I think Pittsburgh goes out to Denver,

1332
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:53,720
Speaker 1: struggled with the altitude a little bit. I think it's

1333
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:56,639
Speaker 1: another ugly game in some sense for the Pittsburgh Steelers

1334
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 1: on the road, But the Steelers will pull through and

1335
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 1: will also cover that three and a half. Then Sunday night,

1336
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:09,719
Speaker 1: Green Bay in Minnesota. Their seasons are on life support,

1337
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 1: life support. Maybe they've got nothing remaining. Lose this game

1338
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 1: and your Kirk Cousins, you're five to five and one

1339
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: and you're getting paid a lot of money to not

1340
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 1: go five to five and one. Think about it. How

1341
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:27,640
Speaker 1: many people out there had Jacksonville and Minnesota in a

1342
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Think about it? A lot of you did.

1343
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:32,879
Speaker 1: There's a thought that both them may not make the playoffs.

1344
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 1: Now wild card would they win either way? Green Bay

1345
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: win makes them both five five and one, but green

1346
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 1: Bay would have the edge because the tie was between

1347
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: these two teams earlier this year, and then the win

1348
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 1: would go to green Bay. If Minnesota wins, Minnesota gets

1349
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 1: the six four and one. Think it will help from Seattle,

1350
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: and it's something to keep an eye on whether they

1351
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:57,679
Speaker 1: can stay in a wild card. But a lost degree

1352
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 1: a gloss rob green Bay puts the Packers at four

1353
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 1: six and one, and the season's done. It's done. And

1354
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 1: that's why I'm going with green Bay. Green Bay is

1355
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:10,679
Speaker 1: gonna win. They're gonna cover that three and a half.

1356
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,599
Speaker 1: I think Cousins will He'll make some plays in this game,

1357
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 1: but in the end, Aaron Rodgers got his backup against

1358
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,680
Speaker 1: the wall in a must win situation. I will go

1359
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: with number twelve in this one. Aaron Rodgers gets the

1360
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:27,640
Speaker 1: upset win and obviously the cover. So we're going with

1361
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 1: Green Bay in that one over Minnesota. Then you know

1362
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 1: what happens on Monday night the Texans. According to my

1363
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 1: sheet right now, the Texans are four and a half

1364
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 1: point favorites. I don't know if that's changed. Let me

1365
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 1: look at my most recent one here, but one and

1366
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:47,160
Speaker 1: a half at home, which it's a decently salty number.

1367
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 1: I think it's up to seven. Oh my gosh, Texans

1368
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: favorite by seven. I don't know if that means people

1369
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:57,600
Speaker 1: have I know they were questioning whether Marcus Maroda is

1370
01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 1: gonna be ready or not. But seven point favorites with

1371
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:02,600
Speaker 1: Marcus gonna lie it? Wow? Crazy stuff, crazy stuff. So

1372

1416
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:27,679
Speaker 1: kind of like the Players Tribune. It's kind of our version.

1417
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 1: It's called the Players Segment. I named it as such,

1418
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 1: so if we want to change the name, just let

1419
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 1: me know. But it's our players Segment. We always started

1420
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:36,759
Speaker 1: off with a little get to know with Drew Doherty

1421
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:45,320

1422
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's time to get to know Julian Davenport.

1423
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 1: It's brought to you by IW Marx and Julian. Think here,

1424
01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:58,360
Speaker 1: if your clothes had to be one color for the

1425
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 1: rest of your life, you're sure, shoes, your pants, what

1426
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:04,600
Speaker 1: color are gonna choose? Probably black? Hell, I don't know

1427
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: a lot of things in my wardrobe a black, So

1428
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,599
Speaker 1: that's probably what I go with. One song you listen

1429
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 1: to the rest of your life? What's the song to be?

1430
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 1: One song? I mean, it would definitely be J Cole.

1431
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 1: He's my favorite artist. I'm probably have to go with

1432
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 1: J Cole. Hello? How's it Bill? Hello? Hello? Hello? Do

1433
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:29,320

01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 1: know how to cook though? Right? Oh? Yeah? What's yours?

1435
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 1: Your signature dish? What your signature dish? I love seafood,

1436
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 1: so HI cook it up, you know, with a little salmon,

1437
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 1: Maybe throw some scallops and shrimp to compliment that, and

1438
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 1: then some vegetables. Where'd you learn how to do that

1439
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: growing up? You know? My mom, dad I all taught me. Well,

1440
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 1: are you on the grill, you on the other on

1441
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:50,720
Speaker 1: the stove, all that I can do it all. Yeah. Yeah.

1442
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,639
Speaker 1: What's the sides that you're gonna have with the salmon sides?

1443
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:57,000
Speaker 1: You know, probably some broccoli, maybe some brown rice one

1444
01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 1: day and they switch it up. I said, brown rice

1445
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 1: with some keen wa. He just brought up broccoli, and

1446
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 1: it's important that you did because your teammates Cineo Kilomette said,

1447
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,599
Speaker 1: if he could eliminate broccoli from the face of the earth,

1448
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 1: you would unless you put ranch on him. What are

1449
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that? I don't know unless he put ranch. Well,

1450
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 1: I ain't never heard of that, but I wouldn't know

1451
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 1: about that. You know, easiest go to vestival out there. Yeah,

1452
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 1: it's good for you, too, good for you. You know,

1453
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 1: it doesn't taste bad. Yeah, so I don't know why

1454
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 1: you throw it out of the way. What are you

1455
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: gonna chop topping off with? Dessert wise? Dessert wise, I'm

1456
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:32,280
Speaker 1: a pretty playing, you know, vanilla ice cream kind of guy,

1457
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:35,920
Speaker 1: or maybe like some sort of cheesecake not too fruity.

1458
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 1: It's good, Julian, great to get to know you. Thank

1459
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:44,479
Speaker 1: for having me. I'm telling you right now, you could

1460
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:48,240
Speaker 1: take broccoli away from me and I wouldn't care. I

1461
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 1: think I've had broccoli one time in my life. I

1462
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 1: was trying to prove a point to my family that

1463
01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:54,920
Speaker 1: I could eat broccoli. And we were on a we

1464
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,120
Speaker 1: were on a flight. It was me and my mom,

1465
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:58,800
Speaker 1: Me and my mom and my dad. We were flying

1466
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 1: somewhere and I was like, let's say, is Ali broccoli?

1467
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:02,639
Speaker 1: And I ate it? And I was just like, look,

1468
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 1: got proud? Are you proud of me? And then I

1469
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, that was terrible. So broccoli

1470
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:11,280
Speaker 1: is definitely not, definitely not on my list. And then

1471
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:13,519
Speaker 1: my wife will make it for Thanksgiving. She made she

1472
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 1: made a broccoli castle role and the broccoli just oh,

1473
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:20,880
Speaker 1: it just smells up the house. But yeah, whatever, But

1474
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:23,760
Speaker 1: Julione likes it, so that's cool. Julian, we like you,

1475
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 1: so you like broccoli, so it's cool. So I'm not

01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 1: A guy who is a frequent control tribut to Kjack

01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 1: TV is our man, Brennan Scarlett. And when it's final

1520
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:07,720
Speaker 1: word with Drew Dorty timing around Thanksgiving, who do you

1521
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 1: go to? Yeah, you go to scar He's done a

1522
01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 1: little bit of everything. Here's Brandon Scarlett with our final

1523
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 1: word of Drew dirty Scarlet Island. That's right, Brendan Scarlett

1524
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:19,680
Speaker 1: joins us right now. Outside linebacker for the Texans. You've

1525
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 1: played a little bit inside linebacker for the Texans. You've

1526
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 1: also been outstanding on special teams. But let's first start

1527
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:29,560
Speaker 1: with the seven game win streak defensively. How much is

1528
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:32,640
Speaker 1: different with you guys over these last seven versus the

1529
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: first three? Is it a lot? Is it a little?

1530
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 1: Is it one of those kind of sliding scale type

1531
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 1: of things. I think it's just a matter of making

1532
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,680
Speaker 1: the plays when they're presented to us. We're doing a

1533
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 1: good job of taking the ball away. You know, we're

1534
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 1: stopping the run. We're limited in X plays. You know,

1535
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:50,600
Speaker 1: big place put offense by the offense. So you know,

1536
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 1: I think it's a combination of all those things. But

1537
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:55,720
Speaker 1: you know, also the offense and special teams chipping in

1538
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: and just you know, being a complimentary football team. Yeah,

1539
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 1: you brought up taking the ball all the way. I

1540
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 1: called you Scarlett Island there at the beginning, because you

1541
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:05,840
Speaker 1: get an interception, your first career interception on Sunday at Washington.

1542
01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:08,640
Speaker 1: Take us through that play. How important was it, not

1543
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 1: just for the team, but how poor was it for

1544
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:12,479
Speaker 1: you to make that happen. I mean that it was

1545
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:15,000
Speaker 1: a great play obviously for me and for the team.

1546
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:17,720
Speaker 1: We had a great rush up front. The guy's a

1547
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 1: d line made Alex Smith start scrambling a little bit.

1548
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 1: You know, he has some run skills, so obviously he

1549
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 1: knows that. We know that, you know, so I kind of,

1550
01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:28,479
Speaker 1: you know, answered to him like I was gonna take

1551
01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:30,920
Speaker 1: him on the run and I really had the back

1552
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:33,479
Speaker 1: so then he just flipped to the back and stuck

1553
01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:35,640
Speaker 1: my hand out and grabbed it. Wish I would have

1554
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 1: taken it for more than eight yards, but that's for

1555
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:41,599
Speaker 1: the next that's for the next journey. Yeah, you know, progression, right, progression,

1556
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:43,679
Speaker 1: and that's our good buddy. John Harris pointed out before

1557
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: we did this interview, had you not made that play

1558
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:48,759
Speaker 1: and had he caught the ball, there were no defensive

1559
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:50,680
Speaker 1: backs inside the numbers. I mean, there would have been

1560
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:52,280
Speaker 1: a lot of green grass for that that guy had

1561
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 1: he caught it. Yeah. Yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad I

1562
01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:57,360
Speaker 1: made that play for sure. Yeah. And Tyron Matthew talks

1563
01:20:57,400 --> 01:20:59,639
Speaker 1: about touching leather you know, when he gets a fumble,

1564
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:01,960
Speaker 1: work very when he gets an interception, that's touching leather.

1565
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:04,680
Speaker 1: You've touched leather, not just against the Redskins, You've done

1566
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 1: it a few times a season. You've been very opportunistic,

1567
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 1: very around the ball, so to speak. What's up been

1568
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:11,920
Speaker 1: like for you? It's been great, you know, just having

1569
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 1: the opportunity to be out there and just you know,

1570
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 1: when the ball comes in, my mate comes in my way.

1571
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 1: Just making those plays and you know, we talk about that,

1572
01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:21,519
Speaker 1: doing your job, making the plays when they're there to

1573
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:24,679
Speaker 1: be made. What's next for this defense because you face

1574
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:27,720
Speaker 1: an offense in Tennessee that's different. You know what we

1575
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:30,440
Speaker 1: saw in week two, they did a lot of atypical

1576
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:32,479
Speaker 1: things from what they've done the rest of the season,

1577
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 1: haven't they. Yeah. Yeah. The biggest thing for us is

1578
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:37,040
Speaker 1: we got to stop the run. You know, if the

1579
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 1: talented backs a solid old line, so our biggest thing

1580
01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 1: is just playing sound, fundamental defense and getting after them.

1581
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 1: Played about half the snaps roughly defensively against the red Skins.

1582
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 1: You played about half the special team snaps there. This

1583
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 1: special team's unit has been lights out as far as

1584
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: starting field position. When you guys kick off and when

1585
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: you punt, you're really putting the clamps down on these

1586
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:01,519
Speaker 1: posing team. You've made mark improvements across the board on

1587
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,360
Speaker 1: special teams. What's different there? No, I think Seals and

1588
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 1: Trace have done a tremendous job, you know, putting us

1589
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:08,960
Speaker 1: in a position to be successful. But I think on

1590
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:10,720
Speaker 1: top of that, we just have a great group of

1591
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:14,679
Speaker 1: guys younger and older of guys that are just embracing

1592
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 1: the roles and really competing and wanting to be the

1593
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: best special teams unit in the league and taking pride

1594
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: and uh and what we put out there. So I

1595
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: think that's I think that's the biggest thing. How nice

1596
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:28,800
Speaker 1: is to play at home? Oh man? We got the

1597
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 1: best fans in the league. We know it's gonna be

1598
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:34,800
Speaker 1: rocking here, especially Monday night. So to be coming home,

1599
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:37,599
Speaker 1: you know, especially after winning seventh straight, you know, it's

1600
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:39,559
Speaker 1: big for us where we're excited to get this thing right.

1601
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:41,679
Speaker 1: And how sweet is it because it's been a month,

1602
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:43,640
Speaker 1: you had two road games, you had to buy in

1603
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 1: there as well. It's gotta be nice after being away

1604
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 1: for so long, right, Yeah, yeah, no, it's gonna be

1605
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:50,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be great. To get back, get back here

1606
01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:53,280
Speaker 1: in the h town in front of our home fans.

1607
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: You just said h Town. One of the things that's

1608
01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:57,759
Speaker 1: really cool about you is you wear into the games

1609
01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 1: and from the games. You always wear I'm sort of

1610
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 1: like an oiler's hat from the nineties or something else

1611
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 1: from the nineties. What's the deal with that and kind

1612
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 1: of explain a little bit about your sort of love

1613
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:11,559
Speaker 1: for Houston the nineties in old school, old school hat. Well,

1614
01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm just falling in love with the city Houston. First off.

Speaker 1: or Oilers cap, or a shirt or sweatshirt, whatever, you know,

1618
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 1: I want to pick it up. And the whole kind

1619
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:27,640
Speaker 1: of love for the old school stuff. I grew up

1620
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 1: watching a lot of Fresh Prince of bel Air, so

1621
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:34,200

Speaker 1: got to smile on his face and Kareem asked that question.

1648
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 1: He just looked at him just like, all seriously, no one,

1649
