12
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: forty eight hours away from Texans v. Titans in Nashville,

13
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: a tremendously hot ticket. I got a feeling that Sunday

14
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: is going to be loud, raucous, and hopefully, at the

15
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: end of three hours of game time, sixty minutes of

16
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: game time, three hours in real life, Titans fans are

17
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: leaving very disappointed because the Textans will come home with

18
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: a win. That would be a fantastic situation, and hopefully

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: that is what happens. And how the texts are gonna

20
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: do that. Well, I don't know if we have the answers,

21
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: but we're gonna give you some of those keys today,

22
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: and we were gonna talk to some of the key

23
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: figures in this game. We got a lot of people

24
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear from tonight. We're gonna kick it off

25
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: here in a little bit, hearing from Bill O'Brien and

26
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: also DeAndre Hopkins. Who's in, who's out. We'll have the

27
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: stats report for you in a little bit. I've got

28
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: to give you my first Community Credit Union first glance

29
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: keys to the game Offense, Defense, And yes, we will

30
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: sprinkle in a couple of special teams once I got

31
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: one in particular on special teams that I know that

32
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: I have to hit, and it's not one I don't

33
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: think I've ever done before. I've considered it before, and

34
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: I'll kind of tie the two together later on, but

35
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: there's one special teams one for sure. In fact, we'll

36
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: probably kick off our key segment with that. Then outside

37
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: linebacker pass rusher Extraordinary Jacob Martin is our deep slant

38
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: one on one brought to you by Exfinity with Dpcity.

39
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: Dpcity who sat down with Jacob and they went for

40
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: a while DP seventy the interview and said it's long,

41
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm cool with that, No problem

42
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: with that. Just gets us to know. Lets us know

43
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: Jacob Martin, and he's got a tremendous story, including US

44
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: story about twenty twelve that will blow your mind when

45
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: you hear it. It's it's just it's mind boggling to

46
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: think of that story. And I was doing late night

47
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: radio when the particular event he's talking about happened, and

48
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: I remember that popping up. I had nine screens in

49
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: front of me, and I remember that popping up on

50
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: about three of them as news segments. I just went,

51
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: we'll find out more about that later in the hour.

52
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: Mark Viner's gonna stop by. There have been with this team,

53
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: and look, we placed the Colts twice a year. The Jags.

54
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 1: It's never really been a big rivalry with the Jags

55
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: other the fact we played twice a year. I don't

56
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: know if there's anything that kind of ties us together

57
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: as a rivalry, but the Colts, because it's been us,

58
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: the Colts win in division, there's a rivalry definitely there,

59
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: and they were the top dog when we got in

60
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: it in two thousand and two. But this one with

61
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: the Titans, there's always that rivalry and there have been

62
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: some doozies over the years, and Marfiene is gonna joys

63
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: talking about that. I will give you my predictions as

64
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: I do each and every week for every game in

65
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: the NFL, straight up and against the spread, and I'll

66
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: give you who I think it was gonna win Heisman.

67
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: That's Joe Burrows. I guess I can save that. He's

68
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: gonna win to Heisman. He's been phenomenal. And then in

69
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: our final segment, we turn over to the players, and

70
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: we do because we're gonna have DeAndre Hopkins of course,

71
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: but we're gonna get a little in the lab too,

72
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: John and Drew taken over, not as players, but just

73
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: that final segment, just this one time, just this one time.

74
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: You know, Titans game. Things a little tighter around here,

75
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: well they should be, got tightened things up, so we

76
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: didn't get as much time with the players. So we're

77
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: gonna take over a little bit with our in the lab,

78
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: with me Andrew talking about this game against Tennessee. But

79
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: it's get kicked off tonight with our hot reads, hot

80
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: reads abrought to you by Geiko fifteen minutes to save

81
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: fifteen percent or more on car insurance. And each and

82
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: every Friday, we lead off with our leadoff hitter, Bill O'Brien.

83
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: It's gonna give us his thoughts on this one against

84
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. As he sat down in Mark Vanimir

85
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: earlier today, Coach House, the week of preparation been for

86
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: this big game in the ANFC South this weekend, It's

87
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: been good. It's been good. These guys have come in here.

88
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: They worked hard on on Monday to correct some of

89
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: the mistakes. Wednesday we had a good day. I thought

90
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: Thursday was a very good day. Was a physical practice. Uh,

91
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think we're ready to go.

92
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: Is it hard to gauge when to have those really

93
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: physical practices this time of year especially? I don't think so,

94
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: not with this team. You know, I think this team,

95
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: you know they want it, they they need and they

96
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: know that it's gonna help him on Sundays. You've been

97
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: good against some big time running backs last couple of years,

98
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: and now you've got another challenge here on Sunday. How

99
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: do you handle Derek Henry. It's tough. I mean, you

100
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: have to. You have to do the best you can to.

101
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: Like I always say, set the edge, build a wall,

102
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: and stop him at the line of scrimmage. I think

103
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: if he stuttering his feet, if you watch that from

104
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: when you're upstairs, if he stuttering his feet, weren't doing

105
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: a good job. If not, if he's just running down

106
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: the railroad tracks, you're gonna have a problem because once

107
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: he gets going, he's two hundred and fifty pounds. He's

108
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: a big guy, long stride, guy, hard to tackle, got

109
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: a great stiff arm. So we've got to do a

110
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: good job. It's a big challenge. You've got to do

111
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: a good job of stopping him at the line of scrimmage.

112
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: Have they added a lot of stuff to Tannehill's plate

113
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: as he's made start after start or are you seeing

114
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: what you're seeing here with that? Yeah? No, I think

115
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: they've done a lot, you know, right from the start

116
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: with him. I mean, he's a vet. You know, he's

117
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: he's played good before, even in Miami. I mean when

118
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: we went down there a few years ago. I mean,

119
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: he towards us. So this is a guy that's been

120
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: an accurate pastor his whole career. He's playing really well.

121
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: They're they're very opportunistic team. They're they're scoring touchdowns on

122
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: defense and on special teams, and then he's taking care

123
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: of the ball. So it's it's a big challenge. What

124
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: else are we concerned with on their offense? I think look,

125
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: I think when you look at their offense, you've got

126
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: to be ready for the play action. They do a

127
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: really good job of run, run, run, and then they

128
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: fake it and they get guys in behind the linebackers

129
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: and then crossing round it's a J Brown or a

130
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: post pattern to AJ Brown or you know, maybe it's

131
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: Corey Davis or Taj Sharp. So I think that's the

132
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: one thing we've got to do a good job of

133
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: stepping up and being being able to react back to

134
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: get into coverage on play action. You're number one in

135
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: the league and few is three and outs, so you're

136
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: moving the ball. But I know you want to see

137
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: more drives completed in the end zone. So what's that

138
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: going to take this Sunday. That's a good stat that

139
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: you read. I mean, we're we're successful when it comes

140
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: to the amount of drives and and uh, you know,

141
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 1: being able to drive the ball, but we got to score.

142
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: You know, we have to score. And I think the

143
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: big thing for us is taking care of the ball.

144
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: I think if we take care of the ball, we're

145
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: in good shape. That's been the history of us here

146
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: in Houston. We've got to take care of the ball. Yeah,

147
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: And they've been getting takeaways too and capitalizing. That's a

148
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: big part of the game. That'll be the party game.

149
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: We're turning it over Vandy. It's gonna be a long day.

150
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: If we're taking care of the ball, it could be

151
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: a good day, all right. Kicking game factors in this one.

152
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: I think both teams are very physical. Both teams are

153
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: good in the kicking game. I mean, they have a

154
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: couple of good returners. We'll see if Humphreys plays. Uh,

155
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: you know, they've got the other guys back there. They

156
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: can return to Dorry Jackson not sure if he'll play,

157
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: but you know they've they've got some guys that can return.

158
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: So we've got to do a good job of covering kicks.

159
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: We've got to punt the ball well. We've got to

160
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: kick the ball well, I mean directed and do a

161
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: great job there. And then we ourselves have to do

162
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: a good job of trying to get DeAndre Carter, you

163
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: know where he can get us basically a first down

164
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: on a punt return, you know, returning for ten yards,

165
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: get us a first down with the punt return. That's

166
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: a that's a big stat So I think special teams

167
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: is big in this game. Flipping the field and it's

168
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a big field position game. Coach, thanks a lot,

169
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: good luck, Thanks Vanny all Right's moved to our next

170
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: hot read, and that is going to be the status report,

171
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: not so much the injury report as it is the

172
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: status report that came down earlier this afternoon. And I

173
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: love the one on Fridays because you get some clarity

174
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: who's in, some out, who's in, who's out, and sometimes

175
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: there's not as much clarity on some, especially the questionable ones.

176
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: But here we go today at practice. Three players who

177
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: were limited. They are all questionable, Taiwan Jones, Brennan Scarlett,

178
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: and Will Fuller. Now Will has been questionable, he's played,

179
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: Will has been questionable, he's been out. Fingers are crossed

180
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: that Will is going to be able to get in

181
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: this game because he is hugely important and has put

182
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: up some big numbers against the Tennessee Titans. Throughout the years,

183
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: so Fuller, Taiwan Jones, Brendan Scarlett questionable, everybody else in

184
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: for the Titans. Four guys did not participate. Now, these

185
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: four did not participate in practice all week long. Three

186
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: of them are out. Darren Bates, linebacker and key special

187
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: teamer out deal with shoulder. Adam Freese slot receiver, who

188
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: Vernon Hargrave's covered near the entire game up in Nashville.

189
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: He is out with an ankle. That means Taj Sharpe

190
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: is going to move into the slot for the Titans.

191
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: And at Dory Jackson he missed last week. He's been

192
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: dealing with a foot issue. He is out. That leaves

193
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: the corner situation for the Titans kind of dicey. Ty

194
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: Smith will take over at one corner and Tremaine Brock

195
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: at the other. Because there's no Dorry Jackson, there's no

196
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: Malcolm Butler, and Logan Ryan has been playing in the

197
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: nickel and I would imagine the Tits are gonna be

198
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: a nickel for a while in this game. And if

199
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: they are, it's time to run the rock. Speaking of

200
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: running the rock, one player did not participate in practice

201
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: all week dealing with a hamstring. That is Derek Henry.

202
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: He is questionable now. I one thousand percent expect him

203
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: to play. He said as such this week he didn't practice.

204
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: I at this point in the year, if guy doesn't practice,

205
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: he's running back. I don't really lose sleep over that.

206
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: And I also prepare for him. So Dereck Henry is

207
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: going to be playing in this game. If we wake

208
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: up Sunday and they say, oh, hey, no Derreck Henry,

209
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: it's just Dion Lewis. Now, that's fearful enough. Deon Lewis

210
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: has done some things to us over the years, but

211
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is the game changer for them. But he's

212
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: got a hamstring. But he said, even though he did

213
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: not participate all week in practice, he will play even

214
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: though he's list says question. We also lets says question.

215
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: What was a full participant in practice to day? Was

216
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: Kenny Vacaro at safety? I don't lose too much sleep

217
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: over that because I think a Monti hooker is a

218
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: better player. Anyways, he's the rookie out of Iowa and

219
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: when they drafted him, who wow? I was I was

220
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: when every time the Titans picked last year. I was

221
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: just like, oh, dude, this Jeffrey Simmons is a stud.

222
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: A J. Brown, Oh my god, there killing me with this.

223
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 1: A Monni Hooker. No, I mean every guy that I

224
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: loved in his draft the Titans ended up taking. So

225
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: if a car doesn't play, then a Monti Hooker takes over.

226
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: Now he's a rookie play safety. Maybe you can manipulate

227
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: him a little bit. But many hook is a good player,

228
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: but can't even Carl questionable, Dereck Henry questionable, big one

229
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,359
Speaker 1: for the Texans, Will Fuller, Taiwan Jones, Brendan Scarlett all questionable.

230
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's finish up our hot reads. How about

231
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: a little discussion with DeAndre Hopkins. Yeah, Drewdori a chance

232
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: to catch up with him earlier this week. It's good

233
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: to talk with you, is always. And before we get

234
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: into the matchup, before we get into the stats about you,

235
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: I've got an interesting thing I want to discussed, all right, durability.

236
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: In all your years in the NFLA you've missed one

237
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: entire game, how important is durability to you? Durability is

238
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: It's very big for me, and I think it's it's

239
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: big for everyone in the NFL. Also, if if if

240
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: you can't play, that's how you make it living. Um,

241
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: you know, being out there, being reliable and durable. You

242
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: know a lot of guys I always say praise themselves

243
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: on being able to stay healthy and go out and

244
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: you know, help their team win. And that's been something

245
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: at all. You know, I've always preached young younger guys

246
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: in locker room. And we've seen you get flipped catching

247
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: a pass this year. We've seen you get flipped throwing

248
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: a pass this year. You pop right back up. It

249
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: doesn't look like much when you get flipped, but that's

250
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: that's a pretty big deal. It hurts, doesn't it. Oh man,

251
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: It's not a good feeling, especially when it's turf and

252
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: it's pretty hard. Guys are coming in here first, you know,

253
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: not really caring how they hit you. Even though the

254
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: new rules, you know they're going to hit you if

255
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: you're got ball in here. It makes me shake my

256
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: head whenever I've seen it happened. So kudos to you. Okay,

257
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: seven seasons in the NFL. It wasn't until your third

258
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: season that you were not the youngest receiver in the room.

259
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: And in every single season you've still never been the

260
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: oldest receiver in the room. You're a veteran, you've been

261
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: around Kenny Stills, has you buy a couple of months

262
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: birthday wise, he came in the same year as you.

263
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: But you're clearly a leader in this room, and you

264
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: have been for quite some time. What does leadership mean

265
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: to you? Leadership means going out leading by example. I think,

266
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, the best leaders in this world in history

267
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: were people that lay by example, not vocally. There's a

268
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: lot of people that yell and shout and claim themselves

269
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: as leaders, but the ones who go out there and

270
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: actually do it over and over and give the younger people,

271
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: older people as well as something to look out to

272
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: them look forward to. So I think being a leader

273
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: is doing something by example. And a couple of guys

274
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: who have done that by example over the years in

275
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: NFL history, Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss, and your name has

276
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: been mentioned with them now because of the records that

277
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: you've broken and gotten to where you get these records

278
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: and there's like three or four of them now and

279
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: the only two other guys that have ever done are

280
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: those two. What's it like when you're mentioned with them?

281
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: I mean, those are two of the greatest ever played

282
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: the game. Man. You know, it's an honor, especially you know,

283
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: being in an organization, you know, in Houston having quarterback troubles.

284
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: I you know, a lot of people can make excuses,

285
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: but I've never made excuses for myself or for my teammates.

286
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: Being being up there with those guys. It's honor, especially

287
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: for what I've been through in my career. Yeah, it's interesting.

288
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: You bring up the guys who've thrown you the ball,

289
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: and there've been a few of them. But let me

290
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: let me give you some numbers. One thousand, five hundred

291
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: ninety two, one hundred and three and nine. That's the

292
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: number of yards, the number of catches, and the number

293
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: of touchdowns you would have in a regular season sixteen

294
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: games against the Tennessee Titans based on your averages. You've

295
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: played twelve games against them, the Texans of one eight

296
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: of those games. It's pretty good marketing for And we

297
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: mentioned the quarterbacks of thirty of the ball. You've been

298
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: covered by a lot of different guys from that organization.

299
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter you put up numbers. What's it

300
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: like doing that consistently, no matter who's covering it, and

301
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: no matter who's throwing the ball. Seven seasons in many

302
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: taking pride in ownership in in my position, not really

303
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: worrying about what's going on around me so much, but

304
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: doing what I can control and owning what I can control.

305
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: And that's what I try to do every week, no

306
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: matter who I'm playing, who I'm going against. I know,

307
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: if I had to my business, I feel like I

308
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: can be a successful is anybody against the team or

309
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: a person. You have to be in the same page

310
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: and in communication with your quarterback. You know, over those

311
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: times I've had different quarterbacks, I've always stayed in there here,

312
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, not hounding them, telling them to make sure

313
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: that throw them in the ball, but communicating with them,

314
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: guys throughout the game. And it's going great with the

315
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: quarterback you've got now, and let's focus on the defense

316
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna face this weekend. They've got some guys who

317
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: can play. Bayard has been at all pro safety. What

318
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: do you see from that secondary in Tennessee's very young,

319
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: very young secondary, very good secondary. You know, I think

320
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people overlooked that secondary as far as

321
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: the talent in that room. You know, they got some

322
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: guys that were going to be in the NFL for

323
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: a long time. Guys and made Pro Bowls, all pros,

324
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: and you know, from safety to corner, they kind of

325
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: got a little bit everything, got speed outside. Malcolm is

326
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: out right now one of the hardest hitting secondary guys

327
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: you know in the NFL. So I think on that

328
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: secondary they got a little bit of everything. You mentioned

329
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: their diversity, you mentioned how good they are, but you

330
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: also mentioned young that can work to y'all's advantage. Cannon

331
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: as receiving. Of course, of course you know you can.

332
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: You can go out there, you know and study a

333
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: lot of film, but experience beats everything. Since I've been

334
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL, I don't think I've played the team

335
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: that when they had guys out there with experience, it

336
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: didn't show. So I think, you know, experience is definitely

337
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: one of those things that you know, kind of beat

338
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: that edge. All right. Last thing, how is this Christmas

339
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: gonna be married for you? DeAndre Hopkins? You know it's

340
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: gonna be married for me? For winning these three games

341
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: out man, you don't compare to I'm a winner, and

342
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: I think that's that's that's how how I can spend

343
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: my best Christmas is winning those two games before it.

344
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: It's pretty simple. No by school under the Christmas tree.

345
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: You just want victories, right, just victors man, put some

360
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: I am your host, John Harris, football analyst and sideline reporter,

00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: and it's time to get to our first Community Credit

362
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,400

363
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: Credit Union of the Houston Texans, and oh here we go,

364
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: gotta do it now. Most of the time, I give

365
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: you offense, I give you defense. Those are the two

366
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: that I give you. I am going to start tonight's

367
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: keys with special teams. Say well, yeah, special teams, and

368
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a key that I know you're

369
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: gonna hear and go hold up, what did you just say? Now?

370
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: The Titans had two big wins this year. They've had

371
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: eight altogether, but they had two big ones. I thought.

372
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: Number one was against the Kansas City Chiefs. Number two

373
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: was against Indianapolis Colts. They were three weeks apart. There's

374
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: a bye week sandwiched in, but they beat the Chiefs.

375
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: Then they beat the Jags. They wanted to buy, came

376
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: back to the bye, went to Indie, beat the Colts,

377
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: and beat the Raiders. But in that game against the Chiefs,

378
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: now they honestly, there was no point, at no point

379
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: that I think they were gonna win that game just

380
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: didn't and all of a sudden, Holy cow, they're kind

381
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: of stumbling into a win. And then even then at

382
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: the end when they took a lead, three point lead,

383
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes moved the Chiefs down and got into Harrison

384
00:17:53,840 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: Bucker's fuelal range. But Josh Khalu blocked the kick. When

385
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: everybody saw that, initially they went, oh, he's outside, Look

386
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: he's outside, but he actually wasn't. Going back and watching

387
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: it up close, he was not offside. And here's the key.

388
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: I saw a Twitter thread later later that day, the

389
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: next day, the next day, and it had every extra

390
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: point in field goal of the Chiefs, and it showed

391
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: how Kalu was timing it. He was timing it the

392
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: entire time. He was timing his get off. He's the

393
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: outside guy. He was timing that get offf and it

394
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: was the same get off like snap hole kick, snap

395
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: hoole kick. You know, there was this whole rhythm to it,

396
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: and Calu finally figured it out and he was able

397
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: to block the kick because of that. So the Texans

398
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: have got to alter, whether it's fuel goal, whether it's

399
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: extra points, they've got to alter. Well, they're they're snap cadence. Now,

400
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: this came up in a game in twenty sixteen. The

401
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: Texans were playing the Jacksonville Jaguars and back then you

402
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: could leap over the center and Jalen Ramsey was that guy.

403
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: And so the texts had taken and tied the game

404
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: at twenty it was twenty to twenty and they want

405
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: to kick the extra point and Jalen Ramsey was standing

406
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: back there. Now, Jalen's got about forty forty one inch

407
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: vertical and so you could tell he was standing back

408
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: ready to time it such that he could leap over

409
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: the top. Blocked extra point, you catch on the hop,

410
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: you run it back, that's two points for you, but

411
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: at least block and keep the Texans from going ahead.

412
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: So John Weeks at the time, the holder was Shane Leckler.

413
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: They kind of communicated with hand signals and certain things

414
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: that hey, Ramsey's back there, changed things up a little bit,

415
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: and they did, and Ramsey kind of got a hesitant

416
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: start and he wasn't able to get over John Weeks.

417
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: They kicked extra point, won the game twenty, nailed the

418
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: extra point one twenty to twenty. They're gonna have to

419
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: change that up, whether it's clue from the edge or

420
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: they blocked one against the Napolis coltson ran it back

421
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: to give themselves a twenty four to seventeen lead in

422
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: that game against the Napolis Colts game they won one seventeen,

423
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: they blocked another one. Now that one they they leaped

424
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: over the guard of the center in between, I think,

425
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: but the same kind of thing. They timed up the

426
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: snap count, so special teams cadence is important. Change it up.

427
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to the Texans defense stopping the

428
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: Titans offense. The Titans offense eighth in the league in

429
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: Russian game one hundred twenty eight yards per game, twenty

430
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: first in the league in passing two eighteen total offense

431
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: three forty seven per game. That's eighteenth. They have lost

432
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: thirteen turnovers. How do you stop them? Number one? Discipline, eyes, peer,

433
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: and simple. What do your eyes tell you to do?

434
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: What does the defensive scheme tell you to do? Put

435
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: those two together. Do the math. Two and two's gotta

436
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: come up four? Two and two can't come up with Oh,

437
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: I gotta go do something else. No. Two and two

438
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: has to be four. See it, trust it, go make plays.

439
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: Number two safeties cannot get caught staring in the backfield.

440
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: DJ Swaringer and Eric Harris spent the entire day as

441
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders Efties staring at Derek Henry all day and

442
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: then when they faked it to Henry, They're like, oh,

443
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: what do I do now? Oh? Keep ball over the

444
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: top keep route. I'm not gonna see the tight end

445
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: going on a over route or underneath over route. Safeties

446
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: cannot get caught staring into the backfield. They truly have

447
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 1: to be secondary forced players. They have to let the

448
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: front seven handle that business and then come up when

449
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: they're for sure. They can't get caught in there. Looking

450
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: at Henry going does he have it? Does he have it?

451
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,239
Speaker 1: Does he have it? Oh? No, Ryan Taylor still has it.

452
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: Oh A. J. Brown's behind You cannot have that happen.

453
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: Number three, as simple as it gets, and this is

454
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: probably number one, but I put it at number three.

455
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: No order to these tackle as a team. Tackle as

456
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: a team, three four, five guys. Every play, Derrick Henry

457
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: will make the first guy miss, so the second guy

458
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: can wrap him, third guy can finish him, fourth guy

459
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: can maybe punch the ball out. Tackle as a team

460
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: number four. One of the things about Tannehill he's a

461
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: pretty tough dude. He played receiver in college, so he's

462
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: taken hits before. He's a tough guy, snaggy, it's tough.

463
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: On the throw he made DJ brown ninety one yarder.

464
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: He took a shot from Cleland Furrel and Jonathan Hankins

465
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: delivered to football. However, when I say rattle quarterback Ryan Tannehill,

466
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: I mean give him a look or a few looks

467
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: that he hasn't seen before. Rattle him that way, Try

468
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: and get in his head a little bit, like, boy,

469
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: what did I just see? Make him think about that

470
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: on third down? Show him something that he hasn't seen.

471
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: He last threw an interception, He threw one last week,

472
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: but the last interception before that was at Carolina five

473
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Shake him up a little bit, hit him. Yeah,

474
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: it's fine, he can bounce back from that, But show

475
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: him some looks that in his head a little bit.

476
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: And last, and certainly not least, if you are a

477
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: backside player on a play, you must be as discipline

478
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: as those guys on the front side of place. The

479
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: Titans love to throw back against the grain. They love

480
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: to boot throwback. They love to work against the grain

481
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: the zone run screen, you know, like fake the zone

482
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: boot screen. They love to do things like that. One

483
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: of the things that they've done. I think a better

484
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: job this year because Henry sees it better. Our zone cutbacks,

485
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: like Aaron Foster used to do. Arion would press one

486
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: side left or right very hard, and then bang, he

487
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: would cut it back up through the center, because what

488
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: would happen is the linebackers will flow too fast and

489
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: that would leave this gaping hole. Well, Derrick Henry took

490
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: advantage of that. That's got a change. They cannot allow that.

491
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: The backside players have got to be disciplined. They've got

492
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: to stay home. They cannot over pursue. Front side guys

493
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: have got to hold the edge and the backside guys

494
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: have got approach from that end and not get over aggressive.

495
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: There's a fine line this week between aggressiveness and overaggressiveness.

496
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: There is usually this way, but it is this way. Okay,

497
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: let's flip it over the other side. How is the

498
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: Texans offense gonna move the ball against this Titan defense.

499
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: They're griped up one hundred and two yards on the ground,

500
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: that's tenth in the NFL. Passing yards. They give up

501
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: two sixty that's twenty fifth in the NFL. Total offense

502
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: at three sixty two, that's nineteenth in the NFL. They

503
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: have generated twenty turnovers. Oh boy, number one, key, do

504
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: not let Jeffrey Simmons wrecked the game on the inside.

505
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: Eighteen teams passed on Jeffrey Simmons because oh that acl oh,

506
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't know he heard it in draft preparation any times,

507
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: you're like, we'll take him because we'll get him back

508
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: in November. And that's exactly what's happened. They got him

509
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: back in November and Rex Shop. He's inside next to

510
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: day Kuan Jones, which is louder than to move Casey

511
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: out to the outside. And now they try and run

512
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: at Casey. You got to face him and then Simmons

513
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: come from the backside, or you run at Simmons in

514
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: Casey's come from the backside. But Simmons is the one

515
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 1: that's bothersome to me. He made and has made seemingly

516
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: more plays in the inside. And this team has got

517
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: to run the ball. The Texas have got to run

518
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: the ball. They've got to run it better. Do not

519
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: let Simmons wreck the game on the inside. Number two.

520
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: When Logan Ryan is at the nickel spot, you have

521
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: to account for him. In the past protection scheme, he's coming.

522
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: He's blitzing now, maybe not as much as he used

523
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: to because they do have some injuries in the secondary

524
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: and they've got to have guys to cover. But he's coming.

525
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: I guarantee you account for him in the past protection

526
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: scheme number three, because Ryan will be inside attacked at

527
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: Titans corners when they're in man coverage. They may play

528
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: some base against the Texans, expecting the Texans to run,

529
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: and if they do, that's logan Ryan on the outside

530
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: with Tremaine Rocker Tye Smith, Sexans have a significant advantage there.

531
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: Get the ball out of the Shawn's hands fast, get

532
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: two receivers, and let's rock Number four. Don't let safety

533
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: Kevin Bayard get involved in the coverage the Shawn. Watson's

534
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: gotta use his eyes to keep Bayard from playing in

535
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. He'll float in the middle

536
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: of the field and kind of read the Shawn's eyes

537
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: and then he ballhawks and takes chances and kind of

538
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: out in that order. He takes chances and then he

539
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: goes and finds the football. And number five, this kind

540
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: of goes with Bayard. Two. Expect a good dose of

541
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: deception and disguise in the secondary. He saw him as

542
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: drafty as and I saw us against the Raiders again.

543
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: I saw him dude against us too. Kevin Bayer comes

544
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: up and he shows like he's gonna play near the

545
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: line of scrimage. He's like two yards from the line

546
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Maybe he's got a man out of the

547
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: back and he's got the back out of the backfield.

548
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: Maybe he's got somebody in motion. Maybe he's got one

549
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 1: of the two receivers and somebody else's blitzing ball was snaffed.

550
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: He turned around and ran straight through the middle of

551
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: the defense to go be a middle third player. I

552
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: was like, what I watched that like ten times, Like,

553
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: are you for real? Catch him, catch him doing that,

554
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: catch him getting sloppy gets catch him getting a little

555
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: too cocky with it, and burn him. Try and use

556
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: their disguises against them. Just catch him one time. That's

557
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: all you gotta do and it'll slow them down. So

558
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: you go. Tho's your first greet cred Union first glance

559
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: keys to a win over the Tennessee Tits. We get back.

Speaker 1: swing of things. I like it. Do you miss me

574
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: in front of the camera. Well, technically I'm still in

575
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: front of the camera. Well, yes, that's true. You're not

576
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: interviewing anyone. You're the one getting interviewed usually after games

577
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: and stuff. I think it's a good This is a

578
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: good practice. You know. This gives me gets me ready

579
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more comfortable in front of

580
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: the camera. So yeah, I think you're doing all right.

581
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: Let me just say that when you did your first

582
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: press conference up in the locker room run Media, you

583
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: had talked about coming back to Houston, and everyone just

584
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: sort of stopped because I don't think a lot of

585
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: us knew that you were from Houston. Obviously, now we

586
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: know that you grew up in Katie, but in your

587
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: Violet listed that you went to high school in Colorado.

588
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: Give me a little bit of background. So I lived

589
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: in Houston from birth, so I don't know, maybe like kindergarten,

590
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: first grade, Okay, so you were pretty young. Yeah, So

591
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: like I like, I never really got to live in Houston,

592
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,719
Speaker 1: you know, or I never got really got to like

593
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: experience Houston, like where you're like in your teen or

594
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: like early teen years where you're going to explore the

595
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: city and things like that. You know. Obviously we come,

596
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: we came back and forth and visited quite often. Quite frequently,

597
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: we ended up moving called I lived out there for

598
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: ten thirteen years. But you I've seen you with the

599
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: cowboy hat before the game, So I feel like you

600
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: just embraced being a Texan very quickly when you came back.

601
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: It was there was nothing new to me. You know.

602
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: That's that's something that yeah back home in Texas. You know,

603
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: when I was looking at your brio, you grew up

604
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: in Aurora, Colorado. A lot of people know that as

605
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: the place where a few several years back, there was

606
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: that mass shooting at the movie theater, and I heard

607
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: this story that just literally gave me goose bumps. You

608
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,240

613
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: accurate rundown I would say. So, like it was, I'm

614
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: in high school, woman, say maybe sophomore your high school sophomore.

615
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: It's twenty twelve, right, yeah, so sophomore year, high school.

616
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: It's summertime, and we're trying to go see the new

617
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: premiere of The Dark Night. You know, normal high schools.

618
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: Most high school kids were, right, you know, a lot

619
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: a lot of the people there were, um, either teammates

620
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: or students that we knew from the other high schools

621
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: in the area and stuff like that. But uh, we

622
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: called multiple like multiple um theaters, me and me and

623
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: a group of seven friends, you know, and we decided

624
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: to go with a cheaper option, which was Century sixteen. Um.

625
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: You know, it was the neighborhood theater. They still had

626
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: the student tickets, you know, So We're like, cool, bet

627
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: we don't have to pay full price for a ticket.

628
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: We can just get our normal seven seven dollars pre

629
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: decent ticket and keep it pushing, you know. So I

630
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: called ahead and try to reserve seven tickets. You know,

631
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: they didn't have seven that we had four, so we

632
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: ended up We're just like, well, I don't know, four

633
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: of us aren't just gonna go and leave everyone else.

634
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: So we decided to go. There's a golf course right

635
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: around the corner from my house, so we just hung

636
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: out on the golf course. You know, this is like

637
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: keep mine. It's also like midnight because it's a midnight promo.

638
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: It was the Midnight Show. Yeah, so like we're like

639
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: com a golf course. It was open, okay, resourceful. Yeah, yeah,

640
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: you can say you could say that, you could say

641
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: it was golf. Yeah. Did anyone think that you would

642
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: actually go on to see the movies? Yeah? My parents.

643
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: My parents did because they didn't realize, like they didn't

644
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: didn't know that you had changed plan, that we had

645
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: changed plans, you know, and I'm just thinking like whatever,

646
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: like we didn't go, I'll just show back up at

647
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: normal curfee time, you know what I mean. Like not

Speaker 1: that big with you. My phone, like my phone dies,

649
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: and um, all we can hear is like police sirens,

650
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: like zooming down smoke Lill Road or Rapper Road. It's

651
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,680

00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: going on. Normally knows what's going on. So then I

654
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: just go home. I'm two minutes away from the golf course.

655
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,560

Speaker 1: the theater that night. Yeah, that is that is scared.

666
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: I really wanted to hear that from you because I'm

667
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: sure that's shaped you as a person as you've gone

Speaker 1: you get the call, tell me what's going on. It's

671
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: just the end of preseason. You're with Seattle, you're heading

672
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: into your second year, you've had a pretty good off season.

673
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: You think things are going well, and you find out

674
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: you're getting traded. So when I got the call, I

675
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: was actually I actually wasn't in Seattle. I was in

676

Speaker 1: is dead and a lot of these very important life Yeah,

680
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I'm bad. I'm bad at charging

681
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: my phone, all right, clearly, Okay, Okay, I was dead,

682
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: that's beside the point, right, So I pluged my phone

683
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: in like when I get in the car, and I like,

684
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, we're just having a normal conversation. And we

685
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: get to her parents house and I get a phone

686
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: call around like nine o'clock and they said the trade

687
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: went through. And I had no idea that I was

688
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: You didn't know that this was a scenario, no, But

689
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: like I had a weird feeling about it, you know, Okay,

690
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: like I knew like it was just another opportunity. So

691
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: I was excited. I was excited obviously to come back

692
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: to Houston, you know, and uh, I play with play

693
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: with some some great players, you know. Um, obviously Seattle

694
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: was missed and we'll be missed. But you know, I'm

695
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: here in a great city with a great opportunity. You

696
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: had to me you had to turn around and get

697
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: your stuff here really quickly, because I remember you showed

698
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: up and there were still boxes from Seattle that were arriving. Yeah,

699
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: I'll for you the next few days. Was there a

700
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: lot of pressure being that it was part of a

701
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: trade with Jadevan Clowney, a former number on an overall pick.

702
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: How about for yourself, did you put pressure on yourself

703
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: to fit into this new defense early on? What's your approach? No,

704
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say I put pressure on myself to or

705
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: compare myself to anyone, you know. I think it's important

706
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: to understand what you bring to the table, not to

707
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: compare yourself to anyone else. You know, try to keep

708
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: yourself as organic as possible. You know. Obviously they saw

709
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: something and it was very flattering. You know, to know

710
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: that that you were being that you were your name

711
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: was involved in a trade with like they wanted you

712
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: to do here, right, you know? So, uh, and you

713
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: actually have more sacks on the season. I don't know

714
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: if anyone knows that you're three and a half, he's three.

715
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: Not that it matters, but I just thought i'd put

716
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: that out there for you. Yeah, your first Monday Night

717
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: football Drew Brees and the Saints. Your brother plays for

718
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: the Saints. Coincidentally, he wasn't playing that night though, But

719
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: how surreal was that you had a quarterback hit on

720
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: Drew Bridge, had a great first game and your debut

721
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: as a Texan. What did your brother have to say

722
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: about you after the game? Um My brother was excited.

723
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: You know, this is something that like he he has

724
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: been looking forward to for so long because there's such

725
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: a big age gap. I'm always saying, like huge age gap,

726
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: but like there's a significant age gap to where we

727
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: have never played organized sports together. Really. Yeah, so like

728
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 1: at any point in time, you know, I was always

729
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: like if he was playing football, I was always like

730
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: the water boy or like the ball boy. You know,

731
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: so quite a few years yeah, younger, Yeah, Okay, so

732
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: there's about maybe five five six year difference. It was

733
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: awesome for him, you know, and I was I was

734
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: super excited. I've never shared a field with him, you know.

735
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 1: Even though he was he was hurt during the game,

736
00:34:58,440 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, it was still meant a lot. You know

737
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: that we year on the same level, you know, so

738
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: it's a blessing. Fast forward a few weeks later, now

739
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: it's Sunday Night football, Texans are playing the Patriots. One

740
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: and a half sacks, three quarterback hits, one TfL. You

741
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: set single game career highs and that game against Patriots.

742
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: First of all, I think you must really enjoy playing

743
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: on primetime. But what is it about this defense that's

744
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: allowed you to just play the way you've been playing

745
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 1: this season? You know, I would I would just say

746
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: it gave an opportunity. You know. I don't think anything

747
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 1: has changed necessarily for my game, but obviously it continues

748
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: to elevate, you know. But I was kind of really

749
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 1: just picking off from where I left off last year,

750
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, and trying to keep things going and continue

751
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: to work, continue to learn from the guys we have

752
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: in the locker room, you know, and just staying for

753
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: the opportunity to have, you know, to be able to

754
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: play this game and to play here in Houston, you know,

755
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: and whatever the team has gon do. Bill O'Brien when

756
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: he talks about you, he said the other day that

757
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: you've run about one hundred miles per hour. That you're

758
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: someone to watch in practice because you're just full go

759
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: all the time. I'm paraphrasing, but basically he did say

760
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: reminals per hour for you? Where do you get your

761
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: work ethic from? And is there a chip on your

762
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: shoulder from the situation that you're in or has that

763
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: really just always been your mindset? No, that's always been

764
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 1: my guy, My how we were raised. You know, it's

765
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: like our our family like mantra almost like nothing beats

766
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: a failure, but to try, you know, nothing beats a failure,

767
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: but to try to try. Yeah, you know what I mean.

768
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: So if you fail, the only thing you can do

769
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: is give try try again, you know what I mean.

770
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: So keeping that in mind, you know, and I'm a

771
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: big believer in how you do anything. It's how you

772
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: do everything, you know what I mean. So like it

773
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: may it may be it may seem like I'm going

774
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour, you know, all the time,

775
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: which might which might be the case, you know, but

776
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: it's it's very controlled, it's very it's very detail oriented,

777
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, UM, make sure my footwork is right or

778
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: hand placement it's right and things like that. UM, just

779
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: focus on a little the little aspects of my game

780
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: because those things that you can teach your biden to

781
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: consistently do, you know, just become second nature to you.

782
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: So you mentioned control. I know that you are a

783
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: big fan of the mark arts and you studied quite

784
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: a few of them in high school and be I

785
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: don't know if you still do. But how much does

786
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: that sort of factor into your game and how you

787
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: approach it? I would say, says right, yeah, So so

788
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: I picked up I picked up jiu jitsu, um just recently,

789
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: like in the past two years, okay, um from my brother.

790
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: My brother actually started doing jiu jitsu his rookie year

791
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: with Tom bot Lee and the Gracie family. UM, basically

792
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: the inventors of Brazilian jiu jitsu. So how does that

793
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: help football? Because I know a number of I know

794
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: Brian Cushion was a big fan of it as well.

795
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: I would say it's it's it provides a lot of

796
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: different aspects. You know that a lot of people who

797
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: don't think about you know, when it comes to football, Um,

798
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: it's a it's about control, you know, and you don't

799
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: always have to feel the need that you're that you're

800
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 1: like in control. That makes sense. It makes you comfortable

801
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: being uncomfortable because like when you're rolling around during jiu jitsu,

802
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 1: you know, you may find yourself in very uncomfortable positions,

803
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: you know, and it may seem that you're like it

804
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: may seem that you're not in control, but the whole,

805
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: the whole, like how I think of it is like

806
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: when you're not in control, are you really like as

807
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: you think yourself, are you really not in control? But

808
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: you're you're at peace with it. It's like it's like

809
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: an organized chaos almost right exactly, like we know this

810
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: is not what we have any control of her, but

811
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: it's okay, it's all right, get in and out of situation, yea.

812
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: Because there's a lot of give and take, you know,

813
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 1: So that aspect of football, you know, and obviously handkem

814
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: battives you know, when it comes to pass rushing and

815
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: things like that, and understanding how the body works and

816
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: that there's different ways of trap and different parts of

817
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: the body. So you were you were a defensive end

818
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: coming out of college into the draft, So when did

819
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: you make the switch from defensive and outside linebacker. I

820
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: would say I've always done the same thing. Is it

821
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: kind of like you just interchangeably both. I just think

822
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: like the difference between defense, defensive end and outside linebacker

823
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 1: is I don't. I don't play a four eye, you know,

824
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: like it's minimal and Romeo Cornell's espec actually, but I

825
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: don't know. Sometimes they list guys particularly as a d

826
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: or as an OLB. Actually Clowney was the opposite. Yeah,

827
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, so like I've I was like for me,

828
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't like the burbage, doesn't I've done the same

829
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: thing my whole career because you hadn't you had to

830
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: gain a lot of But did you not have to

831
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: gain a lot of weight? I read somewhere that Pete

832
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: Carroll wanted you to gain Well, I've always like I've

833
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: always uh have played at or around you know, in

834
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: between two thirty eight and two forty three, you know,

835
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: around there um and college. I was a little bit heavier.

836
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: I think from my heaviest in college. I was two

837
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: sixty seven, oh wow, you know, my senior year. So

838
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: it just I wouldn't say necessarily made me gain weight,

839
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: but maybe maintain weight, you know. Um, And last year

840
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: was was a learning properience, was a learning experience, you know,

841
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: every day you know, because we were rookie for one right,

842
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 1: every day was literally a new day, bran new day,

843
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: you know. There I only had. I had no prior

844
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: experience to what a week fourteen or a week eight

845
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: felt like. Or because you're not usually playing this time

846
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: of year, right, you're done, you know what I mean.

847
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: So like you're not you're not playing, You're you're trying

848
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: to learn how to take care of your body and

849
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: how to be professional. You know, this is the first

850
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: time you really like an adult adult. Like college was nice.

851
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: You're living on your own things like that, but like

852
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 1: you weren't necessarily paying bills because you're on a scholarship.

853
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: So I wasn't learning experience last year, which I don't

854
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: want to which is awesome, all right. I see you

855
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: with the linebackers. You guys get along really well, Like

856
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 1: I would never guess that you just got here before

857
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: the start of the season, the rock Boys, you're part

858
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: of them. I know, you're not the part that dresses up.

859
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: That's the inside line. The outside linebackers keep it. You

860
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: guys are pretty individualistic on game days, right, Yeah. How

861
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: have you liked that group of guys that you're playing with?

862
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: Because you all seem different in your experiences and what

863
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: you're into, but yet you all get along. You'll seem

864
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: to have a real fun sense of humor and fun

865
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: energy about you. I'd say the energy is right with

866
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: that group of guys, you know. Um, so everyone kind

867
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: of just like meshes jealous together. Me and Mingo obviously

868
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: know each other, um, you know, but I've always watched

869
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: Whitney Merdlessis from Afar, you know, and a scar you know,

870
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: that's a great dude. You know, that's a that's a

871
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: great We like them, We like we like all them all. Right,

872
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 1: Which one would you put in? Jiu jitsu? Jiu jitsu? Yeah?

873
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: Which which one of your linebackers would make a good

874
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: jiu jitsu? I think it's a tough one, man. Jiu

875
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: Jitsu is like it's like part of it is for

876
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: mobility and hit mobility, you know, and it's a great

877
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: way to to exercise and to work out without necessarily

878
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: taxing the body or taxing the joints or put them

879
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: out of stress or something on the joints. Um, I don't.

880
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I have to like, I have

881
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: to like, see you have to try them out. Guys

Speaker 1: before I did like before like I did martial arts.

Speaker 1: you're swinging the rings or are doing the vault. I

890
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: don't think I never got that far. It was more

Speaker 1: Kerry Kerry Washington. Yeah. All right, well, good stuff. We

911
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,439
Speaker 1: look forward to seeing what you do for the rest

912
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 1: of the season, and and the rock Boys for the matter.

913
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:25,439
Speaker 1: Jacob Martin, thank you so much. Always great stuff there

914
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: from Jacob Martin, and of course our good friend DPC

915
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: coming up. Mark vandermer is good to join me. He

916
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: has called every single one of these matchups with the

917
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. He'll share some of his thoughts of ones

918
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: that just stung so badly and some that he'll remember forever.

919
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: Do that next right here on Texans All Access. We've

920
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: got one hour down and one hour to go on

921
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: this Friday edition of Texans All Access. I'm your host,

922
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: John Harris, and I am joined now by the ultimate

923
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: Titans hater. He puts it on his business card if

924
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: you ever get it. Voice of the Texans, Mark Vandermer Mark,

925
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,919
Speaker 1: how are you doing, Johnny? I am a Titans hater.

926
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: And it goes back to the early days when I

927
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: first got here and there were so many people calling

928
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: into Sports Radio six ten who were Titans fans. And

929
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,919
Speaker 1: what was it when the Texans got here? Oh? Yeah,

930
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,280
Speaker 1: the Texans got here and I got here with them, basically,

931
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: and Titan Rick was that the guy was Titan Rick

932
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: and all these other dudes who were Titans fans, and

933
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: it was so obnoxious, and I thought it was going

934
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 1: to fade away, But then Vince Young came along and

935
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: reunited it for a while. Then it finally faded for good.

936
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: But we talked about this. The Texans were two and

937
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: eleven in the first thirteen meeting and then after that

938
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,879
Speaker 1: since then, I think it's fourteen and seven, So that's

939
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: pretty good. Without looking that's pretty good lately, you know,

940
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: since two thousand and eight since they won that thirteen

941
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: twelve low scoring game against the Titans team that was

942
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: led by Kerry Collins that year Vince was hurt or whatever,

943
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: and they went thirteen and three, and they're one of

944
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 1: the only teams to win the division other than the

945
00:44:55,840 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: Texans and the Colts since the AFC South began. Of course,

946
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: the Jags got it a couple of years ago in

947
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: that twenty seventeen campaign which Titans lost. I knew they

948
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: answer to this, but I like hearing a story which

949
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: Titans lost. Sticks in your craw the most? Which win

950
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: over the Titans? Do you remember the most? Oh? That's great. Well,

951
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: obviously Vince Young sticks the most because that's the most

952
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: painful loss in the stopped Vinceanity, stopped the Vinceanity is

953
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: number one, number one brother, whether it's the Titans, Cults, whatever,

954
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: it's Worston rosen coopter. For me, that's the one. That's

955
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: the one. Yeah, that was brutal. I was not here.

956
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: I was not in Houston at the time, and I

957
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: do it was interesting because I it was about that time.

958
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: I was two thousand and six, correct, yea, yeah, I

959
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 1: had already gotten a call from our good friends saying

960
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: there's a possibility of coming back here for radio. So

961
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: I was paying I was paying attention a little bit

962
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 1: more than I was, and I just remember seeing that

963
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 1: highlight and here you say stopped him in seeing it,

964
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, poor Mark. I felt for you

965
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: because that was that was the perfect storm of oh

966
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: my gosh, this can't happen. It couldn't happen. And it did.

967
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing. ESPN used to do that

968
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: Monday morning, and I've told the story the pump up

969
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 1: the volume segment, but used the local radio calls and

970
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: they used my highlight, not Mike Keiths. And he's the

971
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,439
Speaker 1: home team announcer for the Titans. A great moment for him,

972
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: but for me, it was a tragic moment in a

973
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: sporting contest, of course, and Vy did that. It was awful.

974
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: But I'll give you number two for Titans losses to

975
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: the Titans was oh seven the next year, Okay, will

976
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: you think, oh, it's gonna be better at home this time?

977
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: And they're down thirty two to seven the Texans, and

978
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: they roar back and Mark and take the lead. Late

979
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 1: Sage Rosenfell's fifty yard bombed to Andre Davis and you

980
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: got the lead, all you gotta do is stop him.

981
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: Couldn't stop him. Kerry Collins deep pass and Rob bironas

982
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: the late rob beronas an NFL record eighth field goal

983
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: to win the game. That hurt a lot. God, I

984
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: forgot about that. There's a rule in press boxes. They

985
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: put it in every press box you go to. There

986
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: is no cheering in the press box. Now, the radio

987
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: booths and the sideline are two different things, but the

988
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: press box there is to be no cheering, no matter what.

989
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: So on that O seven game, I'm all the way

990
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: down with the radio guys, and if I remember correctly,

991
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: I my wife was maybe out of town, so I

992
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: kind of had the whole day. But it was so

993
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: bad through three quarters, I'm like, I'm getting out of here.

994
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't, I can't do this. But Page's

995
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: guns is like, you know, I'll stick around. Why now

996
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do? I'll stick around and watching game. Well,

997
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: I was one of the few I remembers me. It

998
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: was Wexy Adam Wexler, and there was somebody else and

999
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: that was literally about all that was over there on

1000
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: our side. And when Andre Davis after that come back

1001
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: where Sage Rosenfels just goes absolutely berserk and he hits

1002
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 1: Andre Davis for that touchdown. It erupted, I mean between

1003
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: the three of us. I mean it just erupted. And

1004
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: then it was like this three second eruption. Then we realized, okay,

1005
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: we can't be cheering. The press box well kind of

1006
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 1: looked you like, oh my god, oh my god, Oh

1007
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: my god, oh my god. And then Colin was a Collins.

1008
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: Collins drops one down the sideline over Dante Robinson's head.

1009
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean, just a beautiful throw. And then Brona sits

1010
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: the field goal, and I was like, you came all

1011
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: the way back and then that happened. Then lose like that.

1012
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: I mean, to have that two years in a row,

1013
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean, oh my goodness. Oh it was. It was bad.

1014
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,439
Speaker 1: But the next year is when you got that nice

1015
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: win over that good team and all the way and

1016
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 1: that's Monday night right now. No, No, Monday Night was

1017
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: the Jags back here. But that was a really nice

1018
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: win at the time. I'll give you another memorable one,

1019
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: beating Steve McNair for the first time in four beating

1020
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: the Titans for the first time up there and I

1021
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: gotta think that crowd wise in Nashville, that has to

1022
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: be the biggest crowd other than the one we'll see

1023
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: it on Sunday, because this is gonna be huge. This

1024
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 1: is the biggest game these two teams I've ever played

1025
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: against each other. And as far as wins over the Titans,

1026
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there have been some really fun ones, but

1027
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: none with the meaning quite like this. You know, the

1028
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 1: wild game in the thirties and Week two of oh

1029
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,399
Speaker 1: nine was tremendous, and the one in eleven that got

1030
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: your seven game winning streak rolling because you were three

1031
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: and three going in there airing Foster seventy yard catch

1032
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: and run in that one. That was awesome, you know.

1033
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: So there have been some fun ones, no doubt. And

1034
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: the blowout wins here the last couple of years leading

1035
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,240
Speaker 1: into this one, the Monday night football game last that's

1036
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: that's that's a game on just a different level, right

1037
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: because of mister McNair. I think it's like almost other

1038
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: than football category, but it's top three of course. Uh so.

1039
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: And the year before was great because you just wanted

1040
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: to see it happen. You know, Watson had that wild

1041
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: game with the Patriots but lost you play the Titans

1042
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: here and you blow them out and you're thinking, what

1043
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,879
Speaker 1: do we got here? This is amazing, so uh, really

1044
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 1: good stuff. A lot of memories with this team that

1045
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: should be the Texans natural rivalry. We talked about it

1046
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: last night. I think we been talking about it all week.

1047
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: But you know, here we go, Bill O'Brien, nobody circles

1048
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,399
Speaker 1: the wagons like ob I mean, here we go. You're

1049
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: bouncing back from Denver. You know, I think Denver is

1050
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: so irrelevant right now. This team has completely moved past it.

1051
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: I feel, I don't know how you feel. I feel

1052
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 1: like they've psychologically completely moved past it. I don't know

1053
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 1: about the fan base, but I know the players, they

1054
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 1: just that's so ancient history to them because they lived

1055
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: through a lot of ups and downs and whatever in

1056
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: their careers and even this season at times. And I

1057
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: think they're ready to go on Sunday. I mean, I

1058
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: don't know how it's gonna shape up, but they're ready

1059
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:38,320
Speaker 1: to play. I'll be shocked. It will be totally stunning

1060
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: to me if it's not an all out battle and

1061
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: the Texans don't at least play very well in this game.

1062
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: And I think if they do, they've got a great

1063
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: shot to win this sucker. I think, as long as

1064
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: they don't turn the ball over. And I know the

1065
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: other night again or the other day against against Denver,

1066
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: they didn't have turned over three times. Yea. But if

1067
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: they don't turn the ball over and they can get

1068
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: Tennessee to give them one, which Tennessee's not liable to

1069
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: put it on the turf. But the very first play

1070
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: of the Colts game, Derrick Henry running outside the zone

1071
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: the left right on their sideline just spits it out.

1072
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: Lee Cooker picks it up. But it didn't turn It

1073
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: didn't turn into a win for the Colts. But I

1074
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 1: when I think back, when I think back to games

1075
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: that the Texans have played good teams and played those

1076
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: kind of games, I think I think of New England,

1077
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 1: I think of Seattle those both in seventeen, I think

1078
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: of Philadelphia in twenty eighteen. There's a consistent theme in

1079
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:35,479
Speaker 1: those games, and that was there was a turnover that

1080
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: got the ball back to now Seattle, I don't know

1081
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: Seattle was not, but they got an early three and

1082
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: out against Russell Wilson. Was just like a turnover and

1083
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: that kind of kept things going. But in that in

1084
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 1: a game against New England, Merciless had to sack Clowney

1085
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: had the run back. Against Philadelphia, Clowny the sack they

1086
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: recovered on the five, then they scored a touchdown. It's

1087
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: almost as if if they can get a turnover early

1088
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: in a cheap score as a cheap score, but they

1089
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 1: can get a easier type score. I mean, that's the

1090
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: kind of thing that usually kind of just gets you

1091
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: that momentum. And you think about Denver the other day.

1092
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: They take a fourteen to nothing lead after that funnel return,

1093
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: but it felt felt way worse than fourteen to nothing.

1094
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: So getting that turnover early on, I think it's gonna

1095
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 1: be it's gonna be huge, But at least don't turn

1096
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: the ball over to them. Baltimore, what'd you do first series?

1097
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: Turn the ball over to them? Kansas City? What'd you do?

1098
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: First play? Turn the ball over to Kansas City. Hang

1099
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: on to the football and see what you're able to

1100
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: do against these guys. I think you can throw it.

1101
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 1: I think you can throw it against these guys. Dory

1102
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: Jackson's out not playing, so y'are you don't have Malcolm Butler,

1103
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 1: He's out and Logan Ryan is really playing more as

1104
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: a nickel guy. So Logan Ryan right, because he's playing inside.

1105
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: So that puts Tye Smith and Tremaine Brock as more

1106
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: than You're starting corners for the Titans from Ain Brock.

1107
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,720
Speaker 1: So you should if you protect it up, you should

1108
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: be able to throw the ball. And on top of that,

1109
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: if you have will Okay, let's move this thing a

1110
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: little bit. But I don't want to just move it.

1111
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: I want to put this thing in the end zone

1112
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:20,280
Speaker 1: every time. And that's what there. It's like they've gotten

1113
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: to the thirties and it's like this magnetic field that

1114
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: they can't penetrate and you can they can't penetrate. And

1115
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: the only way they can do it. The only way

1116
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: they can do it is go over it, scoring from

1117
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: outside the thirty. So they've got to be able to

1118
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: throw the football and throw it effectively. And that's that's

1119
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: what they did up in Tennessee. And last year they

1120
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: threw the ball whenever they wanted to. I mean, they

1121
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: were eating them alive. I looked at that, geting them

1122
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: alive through for over three hundred ye all right, they

1123
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: did a good job against Henry overall. You look at it.

1124
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: At the end of the day. He didn't go nuts

1125
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 1: in that game. He just had a couple of good drives.

1126
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 1: They had the fake punt. That was a faked right,

1127
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: They had a fake pod. They had the wild Henry

1128
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: off the short field because they missed a field goal.

1129
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 1: Remember that it was a short field. They got like

1130
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: the fifty, like the forty four yard line, I think,

1131
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:13,839
Speaker 1: and you could have scored. I mean, you look at

1132
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: what the production was yardagewise. You just couldn't score seventeen points.

1133
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: So I found this little nugget. Each and every Friday

1134
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: and my Daily Brute article, I try and find little

1135
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 1: nuggets of things that I find interesting, and this one

1136
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: was interesting about Derrick Henry. So he's had four straight

1137
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 1: hundred yard games rushing games, He's got six on the season,

1138
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 1: but his two games against the Texans last year he

1139
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: didn't get to a hundred ye twenty six yards on

1140
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: twenty six carries. He's faced the Texans six times, is

1141
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: that right? Yeah, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen. Yeah, this will be

1142
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 1: the seventh time he faced them. If you take out

1143
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: you now, ye had the seventy five yard touchdown run

1144
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 1: to seal the deal. In seventeen, but they could have

1145
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: run the clock out. Whatever you doesn't get but that

1146
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 1: was a weird deal. But go on, take that seventy

1147
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: five yard out. He is combined for two hundred and

1148
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: forty six yards in six games, and I just realized

1149
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: I did my math wrong. That's forty one yards the game. Well,

1150
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: it's and it's not just him. Look at the last

1151
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: couple of years, say Quon Barkley here, Look at Ezekiel Elliott. Here,

1152
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 1: look at Leonard Fournette, right, Adrian Peterson. Look at all

1153
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: of these guys. They've done a good job against these

1154
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 1: running backs. I know Marlon Mack not so much, but

1155
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,399
Speaker 1: overall they do well stopping the run. I think you've

1156
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 1: got to look, you gotta take your chances with Tannehill here.

1157
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but you need to stop Henry.

1158
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: You gotta get second and third and long third and

1159
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: long enough and try to do it that way. Try to,

1160
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, snuff out pick plays. You know, remember what

1161
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: happened against Kansas City. He challenges wanting pass a deference

1162
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:04,439
Speaker 1: offensively didn't get it. But they call pickplay at least

1163
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: one the rest of the way, and it's sort of

1164
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: put the Chiefs on alert, so that had an effect

1165
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: on the game. Look, I the Tannehill thing. It's interesting.

1166
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: We talked about it last night. How yes, people are

1167
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: looking at the numbers and they're wonderful. He's having a

1168
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: great run here is this him? Or does water find

1169
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 1: its level? Does he come down to earth a little bit?

1170
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: These are ridiculous numbers he's putting up. You're gonna have

1171
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: to find a way to slow him down. And yes,

1172
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 1: if you can get one or two from him, Henry

1173
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,879
Speaker 1: whoever a couple of takeaways, obviously that means you win

1174
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 1: the game at all, likely as long as you're not

1175
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:41,280
Speaker 1: coughing it up yourself. Which ball carrier, to phrase it properly,

1176
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,399
Speaker 1: has been the one ball carrier that really is given

1177
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,760
Speaker 1: the Texans issues over the last how many every years?

1178
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: Which ball carrier? Lamar Jackson exactly? Lamar Jackson, Lamar Jackson. Yeah,

1179
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,800
Speaker 1: well he does it with everybody. I was watching pretty

1180
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: closely last night, and you know, not to make this

1181
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: about him, but be eager to see what he does.

1182
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: We all will as the years progress here because I'm

1183
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: watching him and I'm thinking, look, this is all his

1184
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 1: future is going to depend on him continuing to improve

1185
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 1: as a quarterback. Not that he's bad, right, not bad

1186
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: at all. He's great as a throw He's gonna have

1187
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: to be more of a thrower, and I think he's

1188
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: got the ability to do it. But he's gonna have

1189
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: to prove to do it. And I don't doubt that,

1190
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: But that's gonna have to happen. He can't continue to

1191
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: do this, I'm sorry. People say, oh, well, why not?

1192
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: How long do running backs last? How long do they last?

1193
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 1: Not long? Right? Three to five years? That's it now,

1194
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: don't give me Emmett Smith and people like that. Running

1195
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: backs last three to five years carrying it for a

1196
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: heavy I mean he's got more carries at Alvin Kamara.

1197
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: That's okay. So he's gonna have to find a way

1198
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: to maneuver from the pocket a little bit better, and

1199
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: I think that he will. But it's gonna have to

1200
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 1: happen for him to continue to improve and have the

1201
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: Ravens and championship contention year in and year out. Yes,

1202
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: the thing is when he stood in the pocket against

1203
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: us and just threw it, he was great. It looked

1204
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: pretty darn good. No, it was. It's it. Look it's great.

1205
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: His number, I think for nine for sixty yards and

1206
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, Like, oh my gosh, how does that happen?

1207
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: Because everyone's everyone's so they respect the run so much

1208
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: as they should because you it's terrifying to think about

1209
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: what he does. Last night, they had a third and

1210
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 1: one and they just ran him around the and he

1211
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: took that wasn't where he took the big shot when

1212
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,919
Speaker 1: he broke the record, but he took a little little shot,

1213
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: and I just thought, you do that often. It has

1214
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: a wear and terror effect. But we'll see. I think

1215
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: for now, I mean, they can win the Super Bowl

1216
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: like this, They might be able to win three. I

1217
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 1: don't know. I just don't know how sustainable it is

1218
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: over the long, long haul. Well, here's here's the problem.

1219
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: In some senses. If you're a defensive coordinator, at what

1220
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: point do you call his bluff and say, okay, well

1221
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: they've reduced his carries this year, so okay, we're gonna

1222
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: treat him like a normal quarterback. And then he takes

1223
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: off on you and runs within seventy five yards games,

1224
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: he's going to do it right exact because he's that good.

1225
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 1: That's the key, and I think that's what's That's what

1226
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: the Shaan is learning right now too. Is that big

1227
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: games when you gotta do it. Okay, expect it Sunday

1228
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: if necessary, maybe so if necessary, if necessary, absolutely, Mark

1229
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thanks Johnny. Coming up next, I give you

1230
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: my predictions for every game this weekend, straight up and

1231
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 1: against the spread. Keep it right where you are. Welcome

1232
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: back to a Friday edition of Texans All Access from

1233
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, John Harris,

1234
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 1: and I am thrilled to be with you. This a

1235
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: beautiful Friday evening, a beautiful Friday evening, so hopefully you

1236
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 1: are enjoying it. And before I go any further, it's

1237
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: my anniversary this weekend, my beautiful wife, Paige Harris formerly

1238
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: Page Williams. December fifteenth, that's Sunday. Be on the air

1239
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday. The game going on. But hopefully I'll be

1240
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 1: able to get back. But problem is, my daughter has

1241
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 1: got a screening of a film that she did this

1242
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 1: earlyer this fall in Austin, so I won't be able

1243
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 1: to be with my wonderful wife of Sunday would be

1244
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: twenty four years. So baby, if you're listening, happy anniversary.

1245
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 1: Thank you for everything, and hopefully we can celebrate with

1246
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: the Texas win. That would be kind of nice, but

1247
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm amongst other things, you know what I mean. So

1248
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: there you go, Happy anniversary, baby. All right, let's dive

1249
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 1: into these games that we got going on this week.

1250
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 1: Thursday night, Baltimore beat the Jets, covered the spread, won

1251
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 1: the game, won the AFC North, just like everybody predicted

1252
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: at the beginning year, when everybody's picking the Browns and

1253
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 1: you all know I'm on record, I got receipts. Baby,

1254
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: y'all knew I was not picking the Browns who win

1255
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: a division the Ravens. I thought the Ravens would be

1256
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: a year away from being really good. But they kind

1257
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: of spent that. They spent that up a little bit.

1258
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: They sped it up a little bit. So here you go. Now,

1259
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: games throughout the weekend, we got everybody off buys. So

1260
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 1: the only two teams that have played have been the

1261
01:00:57,600 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 1: Jets and the Ravens. So we got a lot of games.

1262
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 1: We gotta get to it. But I need my mew sick.

1263
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 1: There's nothing that gets me in the mood, now, trust me.

1264
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 1: This is not what I would play for an anniversary

1265
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: dinner or anything like that. I'm not that kind of guy.

1266
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 1: But I'm driving home and i gotta listen to some

1267
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: NFL films music. I'm not opposed to it. So let's

1268
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 1: dive in and we're gonna start with maybe the most

1269
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 1: interesting game of the day. The Patriots go to the Bengals.

1270
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: Lock down your video cameras, people. The Patriots are ten

1271
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: point favorites against Cincinnati. This one's not even gonna be close.

1272
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 1: I think I think New England wins by three touchdowns,

1273
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 1: not because of the video gate or whatever gate or

1274
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. So Patriots are just

1275
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: gonna bounce back after two straight losses and they're gonna

1276
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: take it out on the Cincinnati Bengals. So take the

1277
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: Patriots to win by ten, way more than ten. Excuse me,

1278
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 1: win and win by way more than ten. Tampa Bay

1279
01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: goes to Detroit. Tampa Bays hot, Jameis Winston going to

1280
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 1: play Mike Evans not it could hurt a little bit.

1281
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: David Blausman decent for the Lions. Pretty good. Actually, the

1282
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: lines are three, nine and one. I feel like the

1283
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: Lions have got to have this. I feel like Matt

1284
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 1: Patricia has got to have this, if you know what

1285
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 1: I mean. At three, nine and one, the Ford family

1286
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 1: cannot be happy with this. The Buccaneers are favored by four.

1287
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 1: I think the Lions are gonna win this an upset.

1288
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm picking the lines in an upset to straight up

1289
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: beat the Buccaneers. Worst case, get inside that four. The

1290
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 1: Bears the Packers. The Bears are hanging on by their

1291
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: tiny little talents, but they got to go to Green Bay.

1292
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 1: Green Bay beat them on Thursday night to open the

1293
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: NFL's one hundred season. They meet with the Packers a

1294
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: top the NFC nor the Vikings nipping at their heels

1295
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: at nine and four. The Vikers have to go out

1296
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: to the charge will get down a second. The Packers

1297
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 1: are favored by four. I think the Packers will get there.

1298
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,919
Speaker 1: I think they'll win this. I think gets right at four.

1299
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, but I'll take the Packers

1300
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: to win in to cover at home against the Chicago Bears,

1301
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 1: the Titans and Texans, and you know how I feel.

1302
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee's favored by three. Interesting the Broncos go to Kansas City.

1303
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: The Broncos go on the road a second time. I

1304
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 1: don't like that with a rookie quarterback going on the

1305
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 1: road a second time in consecutive weeks. I do not

1306
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: like that Kansas City's favored by ten. I think Kansas

1307
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:28,479
Speaker 1: City wins this thing, but I will give you lock

1308
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: credit and say that they get inside that ten. I

1309
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:32,919
Speaker 1: don't think it'd be a close game, but I feel

1310
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 1: like Locke will do something at the end to kind

1311
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 1: of get it underneath that ten to give the Chiefs

1312
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: a win. Chiefs one up in Denver thirty to six.

1313
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 1: That's a little different. Broncos squad now at five and eight,

1314
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 1: having won two in a row. They don't win, but

1315
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: they'll get inside that ten. Kansas City moves to ten

1316
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: and four with the win. The Dolphins take on the Giants.

1317
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 1: Nobody cares. Norris Jenkins is gone from being an absolute knucklehead,

1318
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 1: and if he believes the things that he wrote on Twitter,

1319
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: then he is the low dreg of society. That's all

1320
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: I gotta say about that. Giants are favored by three.

1321
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 1: I don't know Giants win. I guess Eagles take it

1322
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: on the Redskins. The Eagles and the Cowboys are tied

1323
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: at six and seven at top the NFC North Wow

1324
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: The Eagles are favored by five and a half at Washington.

1325
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 1: I don't think the Eagles are great, but I know

1326
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: the Redskins aren't somebody to give the Eagles a win,

1327
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: and they'll win by more than five and a half.

1328
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 1: The Seahawks travel all the way across country to Charlotte,

1329
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: North Carolina to take on the Panthers. The Panthers have

1330
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: been reeling. They've lost Ron Rivera as Dave Pepper let

1331
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 1: him go. The Seahawks have gotta have this one, got

1332
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: to have it. The forty nine Ers took over as

1333
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 1: the number one seed in the NFC, so the two

1334
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: keep pace. The Seahawks have gotta have this. Or favored

1335
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 1: by six and a half, I think they'll win this

1336
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:56,439
Speaker 1: by seven or more. Seahawks to win and the cover.

1337
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,040
Speaker 1: The Jags go out to play the Raiders, and this

1338
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 1: ones historical for a couple of reasons, but the main

1339
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: one being the Oakland Raiders playing in their last game

1340
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 1: in the stadium formerly known as Oakland Alma Coliseum. I

1341
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: don't know what it is now, oh dot Co or

1342
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: Overstock or whatever. I don't even know the stadium is called.

1343
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 1: I love that stadium. Though we went out there at

1344
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, I was in heaven. I was in heaven

1345
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: with all the great games that have taken place there,

1346
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 1: all the history now building. I love being there. The

1347
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 1: last game will take place against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Oakland's

1348
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 1: favored by six and a half. I think the Raiders

1349
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: will win this game. I think the Jaguars open and

1350
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: can't a quit. I think a team that's opened cans

1351
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: of quit throughout the year, I've got to take a

1352
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: long trip like this. They're gonna get housed again. Raiders

1353
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 1: to win and to cover that six and a half.

1354
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 1: The Browns take on the Cardinals. The Browns are hanging on,

1355
01:05:56,080 --> 01:06:00,120
Speaker 1: hanging on at six and seven. Now, they've got to

1356
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 1: have some things go their way. First of all, they

1357
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:04,280
Speaker 1: gotta win out. They'll win this one. They're on the

1358
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: road at Arizona. It's Baker Mayfield against Cliff Kingsbury and

1359
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Very interesting stuff. Baker Mayfield obviously puts chips

1360
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 1: on his shoulder frequently, and one for Cliff Kingsbury. Oh wow,

1361
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 1: look out. But Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield were teammates

1362
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: at Oklahoma. It should be exciting from that perspective thought

1363
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 1: the Browns will win this by more than three. See

1364
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 1: what obel Odell Beckham Junior does in this game. Be

1365
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 1: kind of fun. The Vikings go to the Chargers. Now,

1366
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: this is what Vegas thinks about both these teams. This

1367
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 1: is kind of interesting. Vikings out in La Vikings nine

1368
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: and four, Charges five and eight. No, Chargers are coming

1369
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 1: off a big win over the Jags in New Ball County.

1370
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,919
Speaker 1: Just spank the Jags and it was it was not good.

1371
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: Like I said, Jaguarson can't quit Minnesota's favorite this one.

1372
01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 1: You'd expect the nine and fourteen to be favored over

1373
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 1: five and eighteen by touchdown eight points, nine points, a

1374
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 1: point and a half. This is essentially a pick them game,

1375
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 1: as the Vikings go to the Chargers and the Vikings

1376
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: must keep pace. But sometimes with the Chargers, they get

1377
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 1: a win, they get a second win, they kind of

1378
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 1: build off of that to get a little confidence. But

1379
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: I think the Vikings is a little bit more of

1380
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:23,479
Speaker 1: a sense of urgency at this point of the year,

1381
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: and I think they'll get up on the Chargers a

1382
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:27,920
Speaker 1: little bit, make the Chargers chase, and that's when Philip

1383
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 1: makes mistakes. I'm gonna take the Chargers to win this

1384
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 1: thing straight up and cover that one and a half.

1385
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 1: The Rams take on the Cowboys, and speaking of one

1386
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 1: and a half point spreads, this one's in Dallas or Arlington.

1387
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 1: The Rams eight five taking on the Cowboys, and the

1388
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: Rams are favored in Jerry's building. But this is a

1389
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 1: game the Cowboys have the talent to win, and they

1390
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 1: have the talent to win this by a lot, but

1391
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 1: they don't have the team right now. That squad's not

1392
01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: playing together. Late vander Esch has been banged up. I

1393
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 1: think it's really impacted that defense. The Rams are playing

1394
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 1: much better at eight and five, there's still a chance.

1395
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 1: Now they need some help. They need some help from

1396
01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: crosstown team Chargers to beat the Vikes, and then they've

1397
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 1: got to take care of business. And you know what,

1398
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: anytime the Cowboys have played a good team this year,

1399
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: they've taken it on a chin. I'm gonna say this

1400
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: time it doesn't happen. I can't believe I'm saying this.

1401
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:28,880
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are going to find a way at home

1402
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:33,679
Speaker 1: to beat the Rams. I don't know how. Nothing really

1403
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 1: is putting me in that direction, other than the fact

1404
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 1: sense of urgency for the Cowboys. They've got to have

1405
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 1: this one. To Jason Garrett, it's the super Bowl because

1406
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,720
Speaker 1: lose this and fall to six and eight and the

1407
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 1: Eagles win. And obviously that game against the Eagles I

1408
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 1: think coming up in Week sixteen is a massive game.

1409
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: But I think Cowboys get this one. Man, I can't

1410
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 1: believe what I'm saying. That the Falcons fly out to

1411
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 1: San Francisco take on the eleven and two forty nine

1412
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 1: forty Niners coming off that big win over the New

1413
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. As a result, the forty Nineers are favored

1414
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:12,719
Speaker 1: by eleven. I think the forty Niners will win by eleven.

1415
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 1: I do think the Falcons will put some points up

1416
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 1: on the board, not much. It's at forty nine Ers defense.

1417
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 1: Forty Niners defense got gashed a little bit last week.

1418
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:23,560
Speaker 1: But I think the forty Nineers will win this one

1419
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,759
Speaker 1: forty eight to twenty eight something like that. San Francisco

1420
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: gets to win and covers at eleven. Then Sunday Night,

1421
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: Oh this is gonna be fun. Bills take on Steelers.

1422
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 1: The Bills nine and fort and Steelers eight and five.

1423
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 1: This one's got wild card implications and for the Bills

1424
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 1: Division implications. If they can win, the Patriots lose, Oh

1425
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 1: my goodness, the Patriots and Bills will play for the

1426
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: division the following week. Oh my god, But the Steelers

1427
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:55,559
Speaker 1: are gonna win. The Steelers are favored by one. It's

1428
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: essentially a pick them at home. I'm taking the Steelers

1429
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 1: and Duck Hodges to somehow find a way with that

1430
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 1: Steelers defense to get the win. Moved to nine and five,

1431
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 1: Move the Bills to nine and five, and then on

1432
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 1: Monday Night, the Colts take on the Saints. The Colts

1433
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: are favored by nine. The Saints will do us a

1434
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,600
Speaker 1: solid by knocking off the Colts. Let's go with the

1435
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 1: Saints to win and cover that nine. Oh you know what,

1436
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 1: I think Colts get inside that nine. It'll be like

1437
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 1: a seven or eight point win. How about that. But

1438
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:25,960
Speaker 1: the Saints will get to win and move to eleven

1439
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 1: and three as the Colts fall to six and eight,

1440
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 1: which would be fun to see. All right, those are

1441
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 1: all your predictions. We get back. We've got a little

1442
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 1: bit of in the lab. We got a little bit

1443
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 1: of DeAndre Hopkins. It's a great way to finish the

1444
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: show on a Friday. It's Texas All Access. Keep it

1445
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 1: right where you are. We've got one final segment left

1446
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 1: of Texans All Access and before we get gone, I've

1447
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 1: gotta i gotta talk to all of my Houston area teachers.

1448
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 1: You want to bring a little Texans football to your

1449
01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:00,679
Speaker 1: classroom and sign up for Toro's Matrios to buy Conico

1450
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: Phillips Toros Matris. This video series is to help third

1451
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:06,760
Speaker 1: fourth graders learn how to tackle math in the classroom

1452
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:11,400
Speaker 1: or Houston Texans dot com slash Toros Matrils to learn more. Now,

1453
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 1: typically in our last segment each every Friday, we turn

1454
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,559
Speaker 1: over to the players, but they're a little bit more

1455
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 1: button down this week, so unfortunately, no player reporters. Brought

1456
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 1: to you by Artic deficial Coolers and tumblers of the

1457
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:26,440
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. Visit Artise Coolers dot Com. Artic Coolers overbuilt,

1458
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 1: not overpriced. Now we're not void of players in this segment,

1459
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 1: but we are going to kick it off with a

1460
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 1: little bit of in the Lab. That's a podcast and

1461
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty and I do that. You need to check out.

1462
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 1: Go to Apple, iTunes or however you get your podcasts

1463
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,600
Speaker 1: and go check it out. It's a really good podcasts,

1464
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 1: And we decided this week that we were going to

1465
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: give reasons to be optimistic with the Titans in mind.

1466
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna start with number ten, DeAndre Hopkins. Okay,

1467
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:03,839
Speaker 1: in twelve games, DeAndre Hopkins against the Titans has averaged

1468
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 1: ninety nine point five yards receiving per game. Wow. Okay,

1469
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 1: over a sixteen game season. That comes out to about

1470
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred and sixty fifteen hundred and seventy yards in

1471
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 1: a season. It's pretty good. Texans are eight and four

1472
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:25,599
Speaker 1: in those twelve games against the Titans. Now, a lot

1473
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 1: of those lights, those losses, those last four have come

1474
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 1: when you've been on the road against Tennessee. But I

1475
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 1: go back to a stat I brought up with Deshaun

1476
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:42,759
Speaker 1: Watson and with the Patriots a few weeks back. Deshaun

1477
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 1: Watson faced the Patriots in his second career start and

1478
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 1: his seventh career start before facing them in his thirty

1479
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:54,719
Speaker 1: fourth career start last two weeks ago. Ye. Okay, So

1480
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: let's think about Deshaun Watson on the road last year

1481
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 1: that would have been career starting on eight. Still hadn't

1482
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 1: seen a lot, and he struggled at the very end

1483
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 1: of the game. Yeah, and Week two struggled at the

1484
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 1: very end of the game, held onto the ball far

1485
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 1: too long and was trying to make something happen and

1486
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: the clock ran out. I think this time will be

1487
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 1: different because he's seen some things and because of what

1488
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:17,640
Speaker 1: we just saw last weekend. When the Texans fail and

1489
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 1: fail spectacularly, they typically come back the next week with

1490
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:26,720
Speaker 1: a big, resounding, emphatic win. And this is gonna be

1491
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 1: a tough one because you have Derrick Henry, you have

1492
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:32,519
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill who's playing out of his absolute mind. Looking

1493
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:35,679
Speaker 1: at what he's done six and one and completing seventy

1494
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:39,760
Speaker 1: five percent of his past is basically fifteen touchdowns, five interceptions.

1495
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:43,000
Speaker 1: He's playing out of his mind. But you've handled him before,

1496
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 1: but you've not handled him with the pieces of that

1497
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:47,760
Speaker 1: he's got around him now. However, I'm still very very

1498
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 1: confident about what the Texans can do on Sunday. I

1499
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 1: think with you know, hop he's over the years, they've

1500
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 1: the Titans have decided, well, you know, we think we

1501
01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 1: can cover this guy one on one. It's fullhearted, you can't.

1502
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:05,080
Speaker 1: But he's had some tremendous games against him. Be it

1503
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 1: in Nashville or at home. There's been a distinct difference

1504
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 1: when the Texans have played the Titans at home versus

1505
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 1: on the road, especially lately, and the games the last

1506
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 1: three years have they've been on the right way of

1507
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,720
Speaker 1: saying this sixteen you didn't need the game, so you're

1508
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 1: arresting trying to arrest a bunch of starters. They've just

1509
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 1: been ugly. Yeah, seventeen was a game. In the second

1510
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: half of that game, I think it was even before that.

1511
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: Our receiving corps was Andre Ellington, who had been on

1512
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 1: campus for three days, Chris Thompson, who was a special

1513
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:46,799
Speaker 1: team's demon but hardly ever played receiver, hop and Steven

1514
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:49,600
Speaker 1: Anderson the only tight end we had alive at that

1515
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 1: particular moment. That was it and Tom Savage is throwing

1516
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:57,599
Speaker 1: them and Savage completed a fourth down eighteen throw after

1517
01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 1: three straight false starts ye to get a first down.

1518
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:04,680
Speaker 1: I thought, are think he'll pull us off. And then

1519
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: three interception next play, and of course then Derrick Henry

1520
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 1: took one of the house. So the twenty four thirteen

1521
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 1: margin was not quite what that game was. The defense

1522
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:15,400
Speaker 1: kept them around somehow, but Hopkins was the only guy

1523
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 1: who knew he was telling auntre ellenct what to do.

1524
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 1: He's tunk Kristomps. He was basically the wide receiver coach

1525
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 1: out on the field for that game. Yeah, and then eighteen,

1526
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 1: like you said, it was the Shawn's eighth start. He

1527
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:29,280
Speaker 1: learned a bunch after that game. He had gotten him

1528
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 1: back in the game after the Texans complete I'm still

1529
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 1: trying to figure out the fake punt situation they score

1530
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 1: on that, and it was just those three games have

1531
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,439
Speaker 1: been kind of weird. But when the Titans have come

1532
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:46,759
Speaker 1: here last year Monday Night Football thirty four, twenty seventeen,

1533
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 1: it was like fifty was at fifty sixth of something,

1534
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 1: the greatest offensive output in team history, fourteen or something,

1535
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 1: I don't remember what it was. You know, before that

1536
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 1: in sixteen, it was a closer game because Will Fuller

1537
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:03,680
Speaker 1: took one back to the house fifteen blowout, fourteen blowout

1538
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 1: thirteen before they won them. They won in overtime. Twenty twelve,

1539
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 1: they won they eleven. You lose because it's here, it's

1540
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 1: week seventeen. When you've rested, right, you've rested. Arian Foster,

1541
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:18,800
Speaker 1: Dwayne Brown, Jonathan Jonathan, Joseph r No, Andre Johnson, a

1542
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 1: few other key I think Cushing didn't play and eleven,

1543
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:24,599
Speaker 1: So yeah, you didn't have Maybe Watt didn't even play.

1544
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 1: I don't know, you couldn't do because he was kind

1545
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:28,679
Speaker 1: of coming on at that point and write what he had.

1546
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:34,639
Speaker 1: So but you've dominated at home and they have found

1547
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 1: a way to win the last three up in Nashville.

1548
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:41,839
Speaker 1: Now this is and I have been won all along

1549
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:45,599
Speaker 1: that When people bring up the Titans, I've been like, listen,

1550
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 1: they've got a ceiling to nine and seven ceiling. It's

1551
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 1: a ceiling. I mean, like, they're not gonna be much

1552
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:54,639
Speaker 1: better than nine and seven, no matter who's playing quarterback.

1553
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:56,719
Speaker 1: But they can get to nine seven because they're gonna

1554
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 1: win some games. They're gonna win some games at home,

1555
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 1: right And they've had a tough schedule at home. They

1556
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 1: had the Chiefs, they beat the Chiefs at home. They're

1557
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:05,639
Speaker 1: gonna get the Saints are can obviously get us at home,

1558
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 1: but they play much better at home. And then last

1559
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:11,760
Speaker 1: week they went on the road and put up forty

1560
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 1: two on the Raiders. Now the Raiders defense was all

1561
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:15,840
Speaker 1: kinds of mess. I mean, that was not the Raiders team.

1562
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: And saw look at what the Raiders were coming off

1563
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 1: of Kansas City right absolutely, and the week before that

1564
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: against the New York Jets, So the Raiders were kind

1565
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 1: of really very much so, and I think I think

1566
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 1: the Titans ended up flushing the toilet with them. But

1567
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:33,760
Speaker 1: I do think this is the best constructed Titans team

1568
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 1: I've seen in a while. I think the offensive line

1569
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:38,959
Speaker 1: by inserting Nate Davis, the guy that I absolutely loved,

1570
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 1: they put him at Guardi's rookie guard. He's a perfect

1571
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 1: fit for that offensive line. Tannehill, obviously, everybody talks about

1572
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 1: him and his ability and play action. We know what

1573
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:48,759
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry has been able to do, but the Texans

1574
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,919
Speaker 1: have done a decent job of slowing him down at times.

1575
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 1: Last year when he got in a wildcat, it hurt us.

1576
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:56,759
Speaker 1: He had a seventy five yard run in twenty seventeen

1577
01:17:56,960 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 1: after that interception, and that put the nail on our coffin. Um,

1578
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 1: so he's hurt us at times. There are times he

1579
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:06,640
Speaker 1: hasn't done much against us. The receivers have gotten significantly

1580
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 1: better with the addition of a j. Brown. Defensively, it's

1581
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 1: kind of the same group that we've seen over the years,

1582
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 1: but then you throw Jeffrey Simmons into the mix from

1583
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 1: Mississippi State, who I thought was the best interior defensive

1584
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:20,280
Speaker 1: player I saw last year not named Quinnin Williams and

1585
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:22,639
Speaker 1: other people didn't think he was gonna play this year. Yeah,

1586
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 1: they thought, Okay, this is a pick that's gonna flourish

1587
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:28,760
Speaker 1: maybe in twenty twenty. Yeah, because of everything going on. Yeah,

1588
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,760
Speaker 1: because he had acl Tarras, he was getting ready for

1589
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 1: the draft. So there was there's a lot going on

1590
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: with them in previous years where I felt like and

1591
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:39,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, but then you see Simmons coming on.

1592
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 1: Then you see Nate Davis at guard, and you're like, man,

1593
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: these rookies are making a big impact. A J. Brown

1594
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 1: and I remember sitting here on draft weekend watching every

1595
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,559
Speaker 1: one of their picks, going, god, dang it, I love

1596
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:51,920
Speaker 1: every I love every one of these picks. I hate that.

1597
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: I hate you if you think about it. Saw A J. Brown,

1598
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:57,840
Speaker 1: saw Metcalf. Yeah, when Old miss was playing here against

1599
01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 1: Texas Tech back in September of what was that eighteen yep, Yeah,

1600
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 1: first game those guys first dame and you would you

1601
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 1: knew all about him beforehand, but they were pretty danged impressive. Yeah,

1602
01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:10,360
Speaker 1: they ripped up the Red Raiders that day physically. When

1603
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 1: I saw A J. Brown on the field, I'm like,

1604
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:14,720
Speaker 1: I remember when I was talking to my buddy who's

1605
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:17,080
Speaker 1: a silent reporter for ole Miss and it was kind

1606
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 1: of like, which one's AJ and saw him looking and

1607
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:20,680
Speaker 1: he go and he kind of points me back in

1608
01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 1: the other direction, goes him. Because I've been watching that

1609
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:27,080
Speaker 1: guy do different things, and I'm like, that's a J. Brown.

1610
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 1: He's huge. I mean when I say huge, his button

1611
01:19:31,439 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 1: his legs, and he looks like a running back. So

1612
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:36,200
Speaker 1: when he catches the football, that's just the start of things.

1613
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:38,719
Speaker 1: He beat the Raiders deep for a ninety one yard

1614
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 1: touchdown catch, which I mean he just blew past a

1615
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 1: corner and then really corner tried to hang on to

1616
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 1: him and he just kind of sloughed him off and

1617
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 1: the safety was so odd of it. He just took

1618
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:50,479
Speaker 1: it all the way to the end zone. But then

1619
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 1: you got Corey Davis as well, so you got big receivers.

1620
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:57,920
Speaker 1: So and the thing about the Titans, which is kind

1621
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,960
Speaker 1: of frustrating, The Buccaneers had him dead the rights in

1622
01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:05,280
Speaker 1: Nashville and then had a pump block, a punt or

1623
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:09,600
Speaker 1: i'm sorry, a field goal, fake fumble blown dead. That

1624
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 1: would have been the game winning touchdown. The other way,

1625
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:18,679
Speaker 1: they got robbed. The Chiefs should have beaten them. Uh,

1626
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 1: there was no way that the Titans should have won

1627
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 1: that game, but found a way to do it. The

1628
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 1: um was the Chargers, the charges to the both the

1629
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 1: one yard line going in on the second and last

1630
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,800
Speaker 1: play the game, fumbled at the goal line at the

1631
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 1: goal line to win the football game. So there's three

1632
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:36,719
Speaker 1: games that very easily could have gone in the other direction.

1633
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:39,640
Speaker 1: But to me, the Titans are kind of like the

1634
01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:42,719
Speaker 1: Broncos in some sense, but they've got the better record,

1635
01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 1: So you're not going in there going, oh, the Titans

1636
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: are five and eight or four and nine because they

1637
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,360
Speaker 1: lost those games. They found a way to win those

1638
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,799
Speaker 1: games and found a way to win games against good teams.

1639
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 1: And now they've gotten hot, and now they've at least

1640
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 1: gotten your attention. I don't know if the Broncos had

1641
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: your attention. I don't know if they had your full

1642
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 1: and utmost attention. This team has your attention, So you

1643
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:11,800
Speaker 1: better show up in player. They'll embarrass you. That's right now.

1644
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 1: One guy that we know always shows up to play

1645
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:19,400
Speaker 1: is DeAndre Hopkins. So in our players segment, we are

1646
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 1: going to close it down with Drew Doherty's final word,

1647
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:26,400
Speaker 1: and this week it is with the best receiver in

1648
01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:29,680
Speaker 1: the NFL, DeAndre Hopkins. It's good to talk with you

1649
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:31,920
Speaker 1: as always, And before we get into the matchup, before

1650
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 1: we get into stats about you, I've got an interesting

1651
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 1: thing I want to discussed all right, durability. In all

1652
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 1: your years in the NFL, you've missed one entire game.

1653
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 1: How important is durability to you? Durability is It's very

1654
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 1: big for me, and I think it's it's big for

1655
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 1: everyone in the NFL. Also, if if if you can't play,

1656
01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 1: that's how you make it living, you know, being out

1657
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:54,720
Speaker 1: there being reliable and endurable. You know a lot of

1658
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:58,640
Speaker 1: guys I always say praise themselves on being able to

1659
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 1: stay healthy and go out, you know, help their team win.

1660
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 1: And that's been something at all. You know, I've always

1661
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,240
Speaker 1: preached young younger guys in locker room. And we've seen

1662
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 1: you get flipped catching a pass. This year, We've seen

1663
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:10,679
Speaker 1: you get flipped throwing a pass this year, you pop

1664
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:12,600
Speaker 1: right back up. It doesn't look like much when you

1665
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 1: get flipped. But that's that's a pretty big deal. It hurts,

1666
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 1: doesn't it. Oh man, it's it's not a good feeling,

1667
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:20,679
Speaker 1: especially when it's turf and it's pretty hard. Guys are

1668
01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: coming in head first, you know, not really caring how

1669
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 1: they hit you, even though the new rules, um, you

1670
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:26,800
Speaker 1: know they're going to hit you if you got ball

1671
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 1: in hand. It makes me shake my head whenever I've

1672
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 1: seen it happened. So kudos to you. Okay, seven seasons

1673
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It wasn't until your third season that

1674
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,840
Speaker 1: you were not the youngest receiver in the room, and

1675
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:40,679
Speaker 1: in every single season you've still never been the oldest

1676
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:42,759
Speaker 1: receiver in the room. You're a veteran, you've been around

1677
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:45,080
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills, has you buy a couple of months birthday wise?

1678
01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 1: He came in the same year as you. But you're

1679
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:49,160
Speaker 1: clearly a leader in this room and you have been

1680
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:51,160
Speaker 1: for quite some time. What does leadership mean to you?

1681
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:54,360
Speaker 1: Leadership means going out leading by example. I think you

1682
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:56,920
Speaker 1: know the best leaders in this world in history where

1683
01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 1: people that lay by example, not vocally. There's a lot

1684
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:01,960
Speaker 1: of people that yell and shout and claiming themselves as leaders,

1685
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:03,600
Speaker 1: but the ones who go out there and actually do

1686
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 1: it over and over and give the younger people, older

1687
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: people as well as something to look up to and

1688
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:10,400
Speaker 1: look forward to. So I think being a leader is

1689
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:12,599
Speaker 1: is doing something by example. And a couple of guys

1690
01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 1: who've done that by example over the years in NFL history,

1691
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:18,679
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss, and your name has been mentioned

1692
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 1: with them now because of the records that you've broken

1693
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:24,559
Speaker 1: and gotten to where you get these records and there's

1694
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:26,720
Speaker 1: like three or four of them now and the only

1695
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:28,400
Speaker 1: two other guys that have ever done it are those two.

1696
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:30,640
Speaker 1: What's it like when you're mentioned with them? I mean,

1697
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 1: those are two of the greatest to ever play the game. Man.

1698
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's an honor, especially you know, being

1699
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:38,719
Speaker 1: in an organization, you know in Houston having quarterback troubles,

1700
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 1: so you know, a lot of people can make excuses,

1701
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:43,800
Speaker 1: but I've never made excuses for myself or for my teammates.

1702
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 1: Being being up there with those guys. It's an honor,

1703
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 1: especially for what I've been through in my career. Yeah,

1704
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:50,559
Speaker 1: it's interesting. You bring up the guys who have thrown

1705
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 1: you the ball, and there've been a few of them.

1706
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 1: But let me let me give you some numbers. One

1707
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:57,639
Speaker 1: thousand and five hundred ninety two, one hundred and three

1708
01:23:58,160 --> 01:24:02,280
Speaker 1: and nine. That's the number of yards, the number of catches,

1709
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:04,880
Speaker 1: and the number of touchdowns you would have in a

1710
01:24:04,960 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: regular season sixteen games against the Tennessee Titans. Based on

1711
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:11,160
Speaker 1: your averages, you've played twelve games against them, the Texans

1712
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 1: of one eight of those games. It's pretty good marketing.

1713
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:16,240
Speaker 1: Four And we mentioned the quarterbacks for thirty of the ball,

1714
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 1: You've been covered by a lot of different guys from

1715
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:20,799
Speaker 1: that organization. It doesn't really matter. You've put up numbers.

1716
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 1: What's it like doing that consistently, no matter who's covering

1717
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 1: it and no matter who's throwing the ball. It's seven

1718
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:29,799
Speaker 1: seasons in many taking pride in ownership in my position,

1719
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 1: not really worrying about what's going on around me so much,

1720
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:35,120
Speaker 1: but doing what I can control and owning what I

1721
01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: can control. And That's what I'll try to do every week,

1722
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 1: no matter who I'm playing, who I'm going against. I

1723
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:40,880
Speaker 1: know if I had to my business, I feel like

1724
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 1: I can be as successful is anybody against the team

1725
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 1: or a person, you have to be insane. Page in

1726
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,760
Speaker 1: communication with your quarterback. You know, over those times I've

1727
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:52,000
Speaker 1: had different quarterbacks, I've always stayed in there here, you know,

1728
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 1: not hounding them, telling them to make sure that throw

1729
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 1: them in the ball, but communicating with them. Guys do

1730
01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:58,719
Speaker 1: out the game and it's going great with the quarterback

1731
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:00,720
Speaker 1: you've got now, and let's focus on the defense you're

1732
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 1: gonna face this weekend. They've got some guys who can play.

1733
01:25:03,320 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 1: Bayard has been in All Pro safety. What do you

1734
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 1: see from that secondary in Tennessee's very young, very young secondary,

1735
01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 1: very good secondary. You know, I think a lot of

1736
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 1: people overlooked that secondary as far as the talent in

1737
01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 1: that room. You know, they got some guys that we're

1738
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 1: going to be in the NFL for a long time.

1739
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 1: Guys and made Pro Bowls, All Pros, and you know,

1740
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 1: from safety to corner, they kind of got a little

1741
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:24,080
Speaker 1: bit of everything. Got speed outside. Malcolm is out right

1742
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,519
Speaker 1: now one of the hardest hit in secondary guys you

1743
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:28,880
Speaker 1: know in the NFL. So I think on that secondary,

1744
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 1: they got a little bit of everything. You mentioned their diversity,

1745
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 1: you mentioned how good they are, but you also mentioned

1746
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:35,559
Speaker 1: young that can work to y'all's advantage. Cannon as receiving.

1747
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:37,800
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, you know you can. You can

1748
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 1: go out there, let you know, and study a lot

1749
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 1: of film, but experience beats everything. Since I've been in NFL,

1750
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't think I've played the team that when they

1751
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 1: had guys out there with experience, it didn't show. So

1752
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 1: I think, you know, experience is definitely one of those

1753
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 1: things that you know, kind of beat that edge. All right.

1754
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 1: Last thing, how is this Christmas gonna be married for you?

1755
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins? You know it's gonna be married for me?

1756
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: For winning these three games out man? You know, comparative.

1757
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,280
Speaker 1: I'm anna and I think that's that's That's how I

1758
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 1: can spend my best Christmas is winning those two games

1759
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:07,040
