Speaker 1: And where's Drew Doherty when you need him to do

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: a Mike Leach impression? I'm sure he's somewhere around here.

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: He's probably getting ready to go up on the video board. Fact.

13
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: I have to go up on the video boards as

Speaker 1: I gotta get upstairs. Cool. I am hustling because this

Speaker 1: I believe he'll take it. I gotta I gotta hustle

Speaker 1: DPC with him. DBC also caught up with Whitney Merciless

23
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,400

Speaker 1: credit Union, first glance keys the game. I'll give you

26
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: all my NFL predictions against the spread, a straight up

27
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: and again against the spread is it's just the way

28
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: of talking about the games, that's all. And then we

29
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: got player Reporter and Drew Doherty's last the final Word.

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: And this week it's with Jonathan Joseph. So we are

31
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: jam pack, Mark van Damir, how about that. I'm ready, Johnny.

32
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: And it's an all AFC South weekend. I don't know

33
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: if you knew this it is and the Texans kick

34
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: it off with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The man leading the

35
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: charge will be one William O'Brien. Coach Bill O'Brien had

36
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: a chance to catch up with you earlier today. Coach

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: Jacksonville very familiar with them. How much of their past

38
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: footage do you use to get ready for this game?

39
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: Versus what happened last week or in the preseason. We

40
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: use a lot of the past footage, you know. Obviously

41
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: we still the Kansas City game, you know, but again

42
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: they may play us differently than they played Kansas City,

43
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: you know. But I think that we've gone back. We've

44
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: watched a lot of tape relative to whether it was

45
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: us playing him or whatever they did, including the preseason,

46
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: in the end of last season. You know, they're a

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: good football team. I mean, I know it didn't work

48
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: out for him last week, but they've got a lot

49
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: of talent. We need to be ready to go. What

50
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: are some of the keys to stopping four net or

51
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: at least slowing him down. You gotta set the edge,

52
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: and you gotta play good gap control. If you peek

53
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: into the wrong gap, he's gonna find that open gap.

54
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna find it. And one of the things that

55
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: you have to understand about him is if the like

56
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: I say, if the train gets rolling down the tracks,

57
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: he's hard to tackle. He's a big guy, he's a

58
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: kind of strong lower body, and he's a strong runner.

59
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: So we got to stop him at the line of scrimmage.

60
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: You talked about tackling going into week one. So week

61
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: one going into week two, what are some things that

62
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: you see that improve that you've noticed throughout your coaching career.

63
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: There were some good signs of tackling in the game, like,

64
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: for instance, in the secondary, I thought that there were

65
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: times where Robie and Jay and the safeties justin Reid

66
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: tackled pretty well, but there were other times where it

67
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: wasn't very good. You know, that led to some big plays,

68
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: and so I think I think I've always seen an

69
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: improvement from week one to week two in a lot

70
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: of areas, and tacklings one of them, because we haven't

71
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: really had live tackling before the Monday night game and

72
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: a lot of it at least, and now we've got

73
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: a one under our belts, so it should be better

74
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: this week. Jacksonville's defense, we see a lot of familiar

75
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: names on that side of the football. They were really

76
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: good last year. I know they struggled at times last week,

77
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: but that's understandable. What are you expecting, Yeah, you said it.

78
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean they've got a lot of talent. They're good upfront.

79
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean they have a really good defensive front. Clays

80
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: Campbell and the got Way. They drafted Josh Allen. We'll

81
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: see if Darious plays are not Miles Jack, I mean,

82
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: guy can fly makes a ton of plays, and then

83
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: Boy and Ramsey at corner. I mean, they're they're good

84
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: at every level. Safeties are good. So we've got a

85
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: big challenge ahead of us. We know it. We've had

86
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: a good week here of practice and we need to

87
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: go out there and play well. You looking forward to

88
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: the ability to communicate better on offense with the crowd

89
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: being Wyatt when you have that ball y got a

90
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: last week was loud. It was loud. That was a

91
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: great crowd in the super Dome. But yeah, we're you know,

92
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: we've had a good week of communication at practice and uh,

93
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think our guys are very in tune

94
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: to what the game plan is and and it'll be

95
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: great to play in front of the home fans. We're

96
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: really excited about that. I always ask you about special teams,

97
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: what about this week? Yeah, it's big. I mean I

98
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: think when you look at special teams, they have some

99
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: really good core special teams players DJ Alexander and McCray

100
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: and Cody Davis and then Tyler Irvan back there who

101
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: we're familiar with, you know, returning punch, returning kickoffs. And

102
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: then they have a really good coach on special teams

103
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: over there that does a really good job of keeping

104
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: you on your toes. So we gotta be alert for everything,

105
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: gotta be alert for everything that they could happen. And

106
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: we've had a good week and we need to go

107
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: out there and do it. Coach, thanks a lot, good luck,

108
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: Thank you, Annie. Markie seems ready for Sunday. I suppose

109
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: I haven't to take it all the way till Monday night.

110
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: I would imagine getting back on a noon kick on

111
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: Sunday time frame that routine. I think that probably helps

112
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: everybody know to help me noon kick and the bill

113
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: for the offense to talk to each other. Yeah, that

114
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: without having jet engines in their ears. I mean, that's

115
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: basically the equivalent when you look at the decibel meter,

116
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: where's David Barron when you need them, by the way

117
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: to measure that stuff. But I think just being at home, Johnny,

118
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: with this offense, they need to play together. They need

119
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: a few games together to really get jelly. You know,

120
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: you look at Drew Brees out there with that line

121
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: and Kimara and all the weapons he's had for a

122
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: while and they're in rhythm and he's Drew Brees. You know,

123
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: give Watson these guys for a few weeks. Yeah, I'm

124
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: just asking for a few weeks and imagine the results

125
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: and hopefully you get some very quickly. Here. You had

126
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: good results last week as it was offensively, there's no

127
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: doubt about it. But I'm just talking about to do

128
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: it as pretty as they want to do it, to

129
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: keep Watson upright, to not turn it over, to play

130
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: penalty free or as penalty free as you possibly can,

131
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: all of that stuff, and I think it's going to

132
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: transpire sooner rather than later. Yeah, I'm with you. I

133
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: think time is what is needed when you think about

134
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: just the changes offensively, not not just from training camp,

135
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: but just from last year. I mean, you do have

136
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: synergy between your two wide receivers and DeShawn Watson, with

137
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: Will Fuller and DeAndre Hopkins. I mean you have that there.

138
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: You have it between Nick Martin and Deshaun Watson. Those

139
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: guys have not been together for two and a half years,

140
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: but as a cohesive unit. You're just going into your

141
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: second week of having Laramie Tunsell, of having Carlos Hide.

142
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: You're getting into the start of the second month with

143
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson, and the question that I asked coach O'Brian

144
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: the other day was just having for a game. I mean,

145
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: how valuable to go through the game process. Yeah, so

146
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: that you'll be able to better at that. But I

147
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: think one of the biggest keys is the communication. I

148
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: mean being in our building. Hopefully it'll be quiet when

149
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: they're on offense. No, you know, starting to wave or

150
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: anything like that, which I don't think our fans do that.

151
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: I think our fans are smart enough not to start.

152
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: That would be terrible. Oh. I don't want to see

153
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: O'Brien if that happens. Oh not good. Oh no, Aaron Rodgers,

154
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: did you hear what Aaron Rodgers said? Aaron Rodgers said, Yeah,

155
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: hopefully our fans in Lambeau are're going to start to

156
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: wave when weren't offense. It must be a problem up

157
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: in Green Bay and Green Bay you would think they

158
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: would know. Yeah. How do you like these all AFC

159
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: South weekends? All right? I love this and I gotta

160
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: tell you all right, So the AFC South last year

161
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: arguably the best division in football. I think it was.

162
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: I think when you have three winning teams and you

163
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: look at the last place team and what they were

164
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: able to do beat the Patriots beat the Colts sixth

165
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: nothing when the Colts had it going on late the year.

166
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he's two of the four winsday. Your last

167
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: place team is a top five defensive team, you know.

168
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: So to me, last year this division was the best

169
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: in football. Now we don't have to debate that. So

170
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: you go into this year, Johnny, already you're looking at

171
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: if every AFC South team is one quarter of the

172
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: AFC South product of work. Bear with me here, because

173
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: of the starting quarterback situation, you are missing thirty seven

174
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: percent of your starting quarterback snaps, right, because you have

175
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck out for the year, all right, and you

176
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: have Nick Foles out for about half the year, right, Okay,

177
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: So you're already dealing with that. However, before you get

178
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: excited about that as a Texan, because you have Deshaun Watson. Now,

179
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks, so called backup quarterbacks against the Texans have

180
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: been a bit of an issue now the Texans have

181
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: won the division three of the last four years. I

182
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: don't want to bog you down with numbers, which means

183
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm about to bog you down with numbers, but stay

184
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: with me here. Texans have won the division three out

185
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: of the last four years. Right during that time, their

186
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: record of the AFC South is fifteen and nine. Right.

187
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: Five of the nine losses were to so called backup quarterbacks,

188
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: all right, because you have Jacoby Brissette twice. All right,

189
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: you had Hasselbeck in the blank, Gabbert in there. Okay,

190
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: so you had some backup quarterback action. Now, another couple

191
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: of losses were to Blake Portles, who was a starting quarterback.

192
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: But we know what he is now. Now you can

193
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: go to the the other side say, well, Brissette is now

194
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: a starter. He's a starting quarterback in this league. But

195
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: so you see where I'm going with you now. In

196
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: those fifteen wins, ten of those fifteen wins, Johnny, in

197
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: the last four years heading into this season in the

198
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: AFC South for your Houston Texans, ten of them were

199
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: by Oswiler, Brandon Whedon, T J. Yates, and Brian Hoyer.

200
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: Ten of those fifteen wins in which you've won the

201
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: division three out of the last four years. And before

202
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: you say that's bizarre, Mark last year and you wouldn't

203
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: say this, but I rolled guy would say. Last year, yeah,

204
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: you said it was the best division in football. But

205
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: two years ago, hey, two years ago, this team, this

206
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: division sent two teams into the postseason, and one of

207
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: them got to the AFC Championship Game and the other

208
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: one won a playoff game with two quarterbacks that a

209
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: lot of people think are no good, Lake Bortles and

210
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariona. This is a tough division and it's not

211
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: just about the quarterbacks. Meaning, before you think that this year, well,

212
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck is out and now you have Gardner Minshew

213
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: who have to like hit the brakes every time I

214
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: say his name, so I say it correctly because I

215
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: misspelled it in a tweet last night. So before you

216
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: get all excited about that, know that it's more than

217
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. You're facing these teams. They're good teams. You

218
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: gotta get ready. Yeah, there's no question. I think a

219
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: lot of people have drawn the parallels to last year.

220
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: Week two at Tennessee. Tennessee was without Luan, It was

221
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: without Jack Conklin, and it was also without Dennis Kelly,

222
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: who had gone Tim Kelly's brother who had gone to

223
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: the hospital right with I think the flu had a bad,

224
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: bad case of the flu bat strain of virus, and

225
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: he ended up being in the hospital for I think

226
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: a week or so, lost a bunch of weight, and

227
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: so those three guys were all down. Mariota was not playing,

228
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: so they went to Gabbert, and they went to a

229
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry focused offense, and they did just enough and

230
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,599
Speaker 1: Gabbert made enough plays, and the Texans shot themselves in

231
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: the foot in the fourth quarter of the couple of

232
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: key penalties and ended up losing a game that I

233
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: remember going through it like, Okay, I'm fine with this,

234
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: We're gonna win. We're gonna come back, even though we're

235
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: down ten enough that I was like, we're gonna come

236
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: back when this will be fine. Then Deshaun hits fuller

237
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: and I'm like, there is yeah, your way now, and

238
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: then Gabert throws that completion of Stocker, the fifteen yard

239
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: penelly on top of it. I'm like, dad, gum it,

240
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: this is not the way. This was now supposed to

241
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: go in this direction and it's not going in that direction.

242
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: And you know, then there was a fumble by Corey

243
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: Davis that we couldn't get on that would have given

244
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: us the ball back with opportunity going to kick a

245
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: game winning field goal and then we still out the

246
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: ball with seventeen seconds left that we could have gone

247
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: and kicked the game a game tying field goal potentially,

248
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: but we ran out the clock, which is something we

249
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: wrecktified in Week four. Well, this is not something we

250
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: want to rerect to find a week four. Well. The

251
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: difference is we're playing at home and we're playing a

252
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. Those are two big differences. Now the flip

253
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: side of that is we're also playing that defense, and

254
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: that defense. I don't care what that defense gave up

255
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: last week. I don't that None of that matters to me.

256
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: But before you get excited about thinking about the regular

257
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: season finale last year, that Jack's team was that was

258
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: mailed in. Yeah, it was a let's get ready for

259
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: the holidays kind of deal. Actually was the holidays already.

260
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying, So this is a

261
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: very different situation. They know that Owen two means barbecue,

262
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: maybe you know in this deal and maybe I'm not

263
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: saying they're seasons over at Owen two, because how could

264
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: you possibly say that, especially in this division. They get

265
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: the Titans after this one, they'll get the Titans on

266
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: a Thursday night. I'm glad you brought up last year

267
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: Week two. I would think Bill O'Brien brought that up

268
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: to a lot of guys. I would imagine, don't ever look,

269
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: would a coach go that cliche in a squad meeting

270
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: where he would say, don't ever think that this is

271
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: gonna be easy. But he's got to say something like that,

272
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: because I think it's human nature to see a team

273
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: with a Super Bowl MVP quarterback going out and then

274
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: you you naturally relax. Look, it's happened to all of

275
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: us as players, as coaches. I think all he has

276
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: to say is you can just pop the score up

277
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: there and just say, hey, last year and Week two,

278
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: we went to Tennessee and we got our butts beat

279
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: because they executed better than us with a ross that

280
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: was nowhere near what ours was. That can't happen on Sunday.

281
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: Got it good, Okay, let's start paring for Jacksonville. And

282
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: they watched tape. They see as simple as that. I mean,

283
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: Minshew completed a lot of passes last week. He did

284
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: pretty well in relief, had a chance to cut it

285
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: to a one score game, didn't happen. But and he's

286
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: a mystery. I wonder if they showed them stuff from

287
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: Washington State. Look at this guy in college. I mean,

288
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: look at this guy. Probably a little bit, but the

289
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: scheme's a little different, I know, but just to say

290
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: your face, this competent guy. Yeah, just to get you

291
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: see him. The thing is is you really don't have

292
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: to because he has so much preseason tape. You don't

293
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: have to go back to Washington State show him all

294
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: the preseason games because he was there for all the

295
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: preseason games, so he look. It's the one thing in

296
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: watching him, I thought it was really interesting. He threw

297
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: a lot of short stuff, a lot of checks down,

298
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: check downs. He took the profit when it was there.

299
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: But about halfway through his twenty five throws, but halfway

300
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: he threw one deep and dropped the nugget. There was

301
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: only one he really threw deep down the field was

302
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: just only takes one sometimes, but he hit it and

303
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: then everything else is like D D D D. But

304
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: that but that's kind of what you want to do. Yeah,

305
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: that's kind of what you want to do. Make completions

306
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: and then if you hit the shot, hit the shot, Johnny.

307
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: People always ask me, how do you feel about this one?

308
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: I learned a long time ago, and it took it

309
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: took me a long time to learn it. But I

310
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: learned a long time ago that my feelings mean nothing.

311
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: My feelings don't mean anything. I mean, how did I

312
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: feel about last week? How do I feel about Week

313
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: two last year? How do I feel about Week three

314
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: last year? You know, those kinds of things. How do

315
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: I feel about going to Cincinnati in twenty fifteen when

316
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals were eating no, when the Texans were three

317
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: and five? How do I feel? You know, feelings mean nothing.

318
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: It's about how they feel and how they play. And

319
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: that's it. Amen, Mark Vanimre very good, Thank you, buddy,

320

Speaker 1: our deep Splint Interview the Week. This week Whitney Merciless

323

Speaker 1: up with him earlier this week. What for you next?

325
00:14:56,440 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: On Texans Access in Washington State. I know the system

326
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: that they play over there, if I'm playing against him

327
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: in college. From what I know, he's a talent of

328
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: a kid, a smart kid. But you know, It's only

329
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: his second game, in his first game, starting in first

330
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,479
Speaker 1: away game. UM, so we're gonna have to take advantage

331
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: of that, you know, give him some looks that he's

332
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: not prepared for. I'm showing some different things to Sky

333
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: as well. Make him think, make him hold the ball,

334
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: and let our frontline get after him. There is Justin

335
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,719
Speaker 1: Reid starting safety for your Houston Texas at nine tackles

336
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: the other night against the New Orleans Saints, and he

337
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: definitely will be a key in this ball game. Welcome

338
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: back to a Friday, the show of Texas All Access

339
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: from how They Texans Radio Studio. I am John Harry.

340
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: So it's time for this week's first Community of Credit

341
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,719
Speaker 1: Union First Glance Keys to the Game FCCU, the Official

342
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: Credit Union of the Houston Texans Soul. Let's start with

343
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: Justin Reid and the Texans defense against the Jaguars offense.

344
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: Let's start with Gardner Minshoe at quarterback, the rookie you

345
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: heard Justin mentioned. He did not play against Gardner Minshew

346
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: because Minshew was a one year transfer to Washington State.

347
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: Now Justin played against Washington State. They actually were in

348
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: the same division, the North Division. Washington Washington State, Stanford, Oregon,

349
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: Oregon State, Stanford, cow And so they played against Washington

350
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: State for four years. That's what Justin's referring to. But

351
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: he never faced Minshew. Minshew is a graduate transfer from

352
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: EACU East Carolina. Was gonna chance for Alabama to be

353
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: the backup to tour. That's what he was gonna do.

354
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna back up to a Tonga Violoa at Alabama

355
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: and Mike reach Callam said, hey, come on up here,

356
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: join me, be another pirate and let's win some games

357
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: and you'll start. And then she was like deal, and

358
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: so he went out there. He went to Washington State,

359
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: had tremendous year, was an All American lad Washington State

360
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: to a tremendous season, ten wins season, had a winner

361
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: Bowl game in San Antonio against Iowa State. Was drafted

362
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: the sixth round. Not a guy that's blessed with the

363
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: big howit servant arm, like former Washington State quarterback from Bledsoe.

364
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: But he's got a good arm and he's smart and

365
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: he will get rid of the football. So how do

366
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: you slow him down? Well, Number one, take away the

367
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: deep balls. That does not mean that you just sit

368
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: back twelve to fifteen yards and say, nope, not going deep.

369
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: You do have to, as Justin said, you've got to

370
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: mix things up. You got to show him things that

371
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: he has not seen in going back and watching a game.

372
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of talk. Oh he was twenty

373
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: two of twenty five. He did a really nice job

374
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs, And this is true. Now, Chiefs defense

375
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: about what it was last year, even with Frank Clark,

376
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: even with Tyron Matthew, don't see a lot of change

377
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: on that defense. I think you can attack that chief defense.

378
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: And he showed that. What I noticed in that game, though,

379
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: was that he threw a lot of short stuff ncaa dinca, dinka, dinca,

380
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: dinka boom, And it was like he lulled everybody in.

381
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: He was taking checkdowns, he was taking swing routes to

382
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: four net. He would throw the short route to his

383
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: receivers and then bang he hit the deep route to

384
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: DJ Chark And it really was the one downfield throw

385
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: he made. Everything else, for the most part, was pretty

386
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: much in that. You know, sometimes five to seven yard distance.

387
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: It really there weren't a lot of deep shots that

388
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: won that one, so they will throw it down the field.

389
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: John d Filippo offensive coordination will throw it down the field.

390
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: Think Philadelphia Eagles, that's where d Filippo was the offensive coordinator,

391
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: not last year, but in years prior. Or quarterbacks coach, Sorry,

392
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: they want to throw the ball on the field. DJ Chark,

393
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: Chris Conley, D. D. Westbrook. They want to go down

394
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: the field. These guys are not complete receivers, but they're athletes.

395
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: There fast. They like to go down the field. They

396
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: can make big impact plays down the field. Don't give

397
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: up the deep ball. Don't give up the cheap deep ball. Now,

398
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: you didn't do that against the Saints. They just got

399
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: everything really in front of you. Really, but they got

400
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: big chunk plays. I don't think Jacksonville can produce those.

401
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: But what you really want to do is have Gardner

402
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: Minshew have to drive nine, ten eleven plays each and

403
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: every drive. At some point, rookie is going to make

404
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: a mistake. He's going to miss a read third down.

405
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: He is not going to see something that maybe in

406
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: the next couple of years he's going to see. Now,

407
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: I will say this, and I believe this wholeheartedly. He

408
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: is a very, very good NFL quarterback. I don't care

409
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: if these are rookie. He is a very good NFL quarterback.

410
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: He held his own the other day. But he's just

411
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: firing now. He's had a whole week to prepare. You

412
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: got a stand up in front of the media, he's

413
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: become the media darling. Let's end that on Sunday. Let's

414
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: end it. Not his career, get him hurt of anything,

415
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: but let's just let's slow that role a little bit

416
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: Minshoe magic. Let's let's not let him pull a rabbit

417
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: out of the hat. Now. Taken away deep balls one thing.

418
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: Don't get caught on double moves that leads the deep balls.

419
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 1: But also, as I mentioned, this is John D. Flippo offense.

420
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: If the Texans are in man coverage, I can promise you,

421
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you they're gonna be rub routes all day.

422
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: In that game against Philadelphia last year, when we went

423
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: man coverage on Philly, they rub route all day. And

424
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: what I mean by a rubb rout it's like it's

425
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: a pick route. It's like in basketball, it's like a

426
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: pick route. Now, they can't purposely pick you, but the

427
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: way they run the routes, they can force a defensive

428
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,399
Speaker 1: back to have to bubble over and that just gives

429
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: enough time and space to complete a route to a

430
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver. So we're gonna play man coverage. We can

431
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: expect those pick routes all day. Our communication and as

432
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: to what we're gonna do. Are you're gonna go over

433
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: the pick, or you're gonna fight through it, or you're

434
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,439
Speaker 1: gonna go underneath it. What are you gonna do? How

435
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: do you handle that? That's gonna be a big deal

436
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: when the Texas are playing man coverage, A huge deal. Last,

437
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: and certainly not least on the offensive side of the

438
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: ball is Leonard Fournette. And I mentioned him last, but

439
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: I think he ends up being the most important. We

440
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: can talk about Minshew. We can talk about deep balls

441
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: or keeping away from Minshew, throwing the deep balls, defending them.

442
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: Fournett's the key. If Fournette is rolling down Hills Hill

443
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: like a bowling ball full of bullshit, knives wearing trouble,

444
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 1: if you give him runaway, he will kill you. That's

445
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: what he needs. He needs a slight space. He does

446
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: not create his own yardage. He doesn't create his own

447
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: yardage on his own. If he has to cut, he

448
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: has to slow down and pattern his feet to cut.

449
00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: He is not sae Quon Barkley, he is not Ezekiel Elliott,

450
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 1: but he is a hammer. And the first Texan that

451
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 1: finds himself in a hole with Fournette is going to

452
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: get well, Fournett's going to attempt to run him over.

453
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: We've only seen him one time and that was the

454
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: opener in twenty seventeen. And what I remember distinctly about

455
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: that was that Fournette hit with such ferocity in that

456
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: game that our defense got not only worn out, but

457
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: they've got kind of bruised and beaten down. Now, there

458
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: are a lot of factors in that game in twenty seventeen,

459
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to make any excuses, but that,

460
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: to me, was a big factor, the physicality with which

461
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 1: Fournette ran. So looking back at the film against the Saints,

462
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: we were not gap discipline as much as we should

463
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: have been. I felt like we tackled okay in the

464
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,720
Speaker 1: first three quarters, fourth quarter, we didn't tackle very well.

465
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: So our gap discipline's got to be on point. We

466
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 1: have got to make clean and effective tackles on Leonard Fournette,

467
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 1: and we have got to tackle in space because if

468
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: that's not getting it. Between the tackles and the run game,

469
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: then they're gonna swing him out. Now, he's not the

470
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: greatest receivers him the greatest hands, but he's getting better

471
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: and they really focused on that this soft season with

472
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 1: him and getting him the ball at space. That's where

473
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: he can have some runway, and that can be problematic.

474
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: That worries me. So we're nette got to keep him

475
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: under control. The more frustrated you get, the more frustrated

476
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: you get him, I should say, then the better off

477
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna be. Now, I'm not saying that. You get

478
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: under his skin with the talking trash, and know that

479
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: if you stop him for short gains, he's not getting anything.

480
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: He's gonna get frustrated. He's hot headed and he likes

481
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: to use that to his advantage. Find a defensive back

482
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: in the secondary and then run him over and then

483
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: everybody gets all jacked up. Don't allow it. If you

484
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: gap discipline of solid you should be in the right

485
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: place to make tackles. Make tackles. When they do you

486
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: throw in the ball or he gets out in space,

487
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 1: you've got to effectively tackle him. And sometimes dbs gonna

488
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: do one on one and that, and those, I should say,

489
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: are your keys to stopping the Jaguars offense. Now, defensively,

490
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: how do you move the ball against this defense? We've

491
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: heard for the last three years. In fact, we saw

492
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: an opener twenty seventeen and like, oh boy, they had

493
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: a boy. They added Campbell, they drafted Miles jack is

494
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: gonna be one nasty defense. Now it's not quite what

495
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: it was. There's no Malik Jackson, there's no Buried Church

496
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,240
Speaker 1: and obviously there's no Sean Gibson. They missed those three guys.

497
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: There's no Telvin Smith. And I always felt like Telvin

498
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: was the soul, the heart and soul that defense. You

499
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: talk about talking trash, Telvin Smith was talking trash to

500
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: anybody that walked into building, even me probably, And he

501
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: was ferocious. Kelvin Smith next to Miles jack Boy, I

502
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: was a really rough combination to have to try and block. Now,

503
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: Quincy Williams, the rookie steps in. He is the brother

504
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: of Quinnin Williams, who plays with the New York Jets,

505
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: number three overall picking the draft. Quincy they drafted in

506
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: the third round. He can run, He's a rookie. This

507
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: defense doesn't have quite that ferocity, but they are physical.

508
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: It is a very physical unit. To have success against them,

509
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to a slow down Clay's campbell. Clay's

510
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: is probably gonna move to the outside. And I remember

511
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: the first time that we played them at seventeen, his

512
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: first game against US, he rushed from the edge a lot,

513
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: and I was a little surprised. I thought he would

514
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: rush from the inside, and that was gonna be the

515
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: plan this year. But there's no Yannick and Gockway in

516
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: this game, so that means Clay's probably gonna rush from

517
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: the outside. So that's gonna be a challenge for either

518
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: Sean Chrero Lara made have to block Clay's campbell one

519
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: on one. He don't have a lot of moves, but

520
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: he is long, big, strong, and a little bit awkward

521
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: gawky to try and get hands on, So that's a challenge. Now,

522
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is gonna be a rookie on the other side,

523
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a star someday. He is gonna be

524
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: a very very good player. He's not yet Yannick and Gockway,

525
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: So in Gackway of this, the focus now becomes Clay

526
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: as Campbell b occupy Miles Jack. It's one of the

527
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: better inside linebackers in the game. He is also a hothead.

528
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: He got tossed out of the game against Kanci Chiefs

529
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: and for something that should have never happened. Anyone leave

530
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: the field. He is gonna be playing with a vengeance.

531
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: He is highly highly aggressive. He will overpursue, he will

532
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 1: be out of position, but you've got to occupy him

533
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: because on screens, on anything horizontal, he will run it

534
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: down if you don't get a helmet on him. Number three,

535
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: if you see Nickel run the ball against the Saints

536
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: of Texas, did a pretty good job of that against

537
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. The Chiefs did a great job of that

538
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: against the Jags. When the Jags win, Nickel Jags, the

539
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: chief saw Nickel, Patrick Mahomes checked their run away. They

540
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: went see Nicole run the ball. That was c d

541
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: use their aggressiveness against them, counters, bootlegs, screens, get this

542
00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: defense to fast flow, and then CounterPunch and counter lunch

543
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: with some juice. I think those are things you can

544
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: do unlast it's certainly not least the inside passing game matchups.

545
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: I do not think that DJ Hayden as the nickel corner,

546
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: the nickel slot, or the linebackers or even the safeties

547
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 1: can hang with Kiki Qt, the slot receivers DeAndre Carter

548
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: and these tight ends. I don't think they can do it.

549
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: That's where I think the Texans can have a matchup advantage. Look,

550
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna match up and I don't know. I don't

551
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: know that I would do this. What I would do

552
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: if I were them, and I don't know if j

553
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: boy is gonna plays questionable, But what I would do

554
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: against them is put Boyer on Hopkins and give boy

555
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: a help and the Rams you go one on one

556
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: on Fuller. But I don't even know if that works

557
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: because then Fuller just runs right by Ramsey. But at

558
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: least Jalen probably would try and beat up Will. I

559
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if you have a really

560
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: good matchup, but you have options when you have a

561
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: guy like Jayalen Ramsey. But on the inside, that's where

562
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: you can win. As Fells, Qt, Carter and whatever other

563
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: receivers can he steals if you put him in in

564
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 1: the slot, those guys can all win against what Jacksonville

565
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: has on the inside, they can all win, and they've

566
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: got to win. That'll help to Shunk, get the ball

567
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: off faster, keep those rushers Alan and Campbell from getting

568
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: to him and getting hits on him, and then the

569
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: offense is moving. They do that, they'll be able to

570
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: move to the ball against this Jaguars defense. All right,

571
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: we get back, Let's learn a little bit more about

572
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: these Jaguars and talk to our buddy JP Shaddick from

573
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com when we go behind enemy sidelines next

574
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: right here on Texans All Access. We've got one hour

575
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: in a books on this Friday edition of Texans All Access,

576
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,760
Speaker 1: and we're about an hour away from kickoff Washington State

577
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 1: and Houston Advocare Texas kickoff. That kickoff is round eight o'clock,

578
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: so a little after eight o'clock. So as soon as

579
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: this is over, I'm hauling out of here up to

580
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: the fifth floor doing some video board work with Drew

581
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 1: four the game, doing some work at halftime, So looking

582
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: forward to doing that. And I am your host also tonight,

583
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:07,240
Speaker 1: John Harris Football, anost and sideline reporter for your Houston

584
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: Texans's time to go behind enemy sidelines with our good

585
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: friend Deep Sitters this week and pretty much every week

586
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 1: when it's Jacksonville. It's our good pal JP Shadrick from

587
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com giving us the skinny on these Jacksonville

588
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 1: Jaguars Deep. How's it going, Jp, Deep? We were hanging

589
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: in there. It's week two, it's oh and one for

590
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: both of these teams. But you know, hey, the fifteen

591
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: more to go right and we'll see what happens this week.

592
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: This should be a fun divisional game coming up. You know,

593
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: it was a rough Sunday around here, but it's time

594
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,720
Speaker 1: to move ahead. Well, we certainly were watching that Jags

595
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: game since the Texans had the Monday night game and

596
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: early on in the game. Now, obviously the forty to

597
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: twenty six loss didn't help, but more than that, they

598
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: lost their starting quarterback in Nick Foles. So let's start there.

599
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: Nick Foles on IR. What's the latest with him? Could

600
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: he possibly come back at some point this season? Yeah,

601
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: the idea is at least he's on IR designated to

602
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: return and the earliest he could be back is November

603
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 1: seventeenth against the Colts. So, you know, he had to

604
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: have surgery and he said it was a complete crack.

605
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: He had a collar bone issue back in twenty fourteen

606
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: in the same collarbone in a different area. It was

607
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,760
Speaker 1: a hairline fracture. Then he called this one a complete

608
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: crack though, So surgery needed for this time around, and

609
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: we'll see if he's ready to go by then he'll

610
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: be available for the first time November seventeenth. That means

611
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 1: it's eight games at least of Gardner Minshew, the rookie,

612
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 1: the sixth round pick out of Washington State. And you

613
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: know what, he came in and played pretty pretty well

614
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: in that game, really well back twenty two to twenty five.

615
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a pretty good day at the office.

616
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: A couple of touchdown passes in an adverse situation, so

617
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 1: you know, it's unfortunate for Nick Foles. He had just

618
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 1: thrown his first touchdown as a Jaguar on that playe gets,

619
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, pushed down on the ground and landed on

620
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 1: top of and goes off the field. But hey, it's

621
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: time to move forward with Gardner Minshew, and that's what

622
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna do right here. A crazy day of broken

623
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: clavicles across the NFL. But it looks like Nick Foles

624
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: probably won't be playing in London. Then he'll miss R No. Yeah,

625
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: he will miss that for sure, and so it's you know,

626
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: we'll see how Gardner's going by then. But yeah, it's

627
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: right now, they're all their eggs are in the Gardner

628
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: Minshew basket. I mean, they did trade for Josh Dobbs

629
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: from the Steelers. They traded a draft pick next year

630
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: in the fifth round or this coming year in the

631
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: fifth round for him as the backup. So and he's

632
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: got two more years left in his contract, so he's

633
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: here and whenever Nick is back, then I think the

634
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: plan is to keep three quarterbacks and see what happens

635
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: going into the offseason and moving ahead the next year

636
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: or two. Yeah, despite the loss, a lot of praise

637
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: for Gardner Minshew. You mentioned it. Two hundred seventy five yards,

638
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in an interception, but really good off the bench.

639
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: What can you tell us about him, his style of play,

640
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: what did you see from him in training camp? Does

641
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,439
Speaker 1: any of that surprise you? And a little bit maybe

642
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: about his winning mustache, because I mean, we can't not

643
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: talk about the mustache. I mean we asked Doug Marrone

644
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: in the press conference the other day. It was the

645
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: first thing you noticed about Minshew and the meeting at

646
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: like the Combine, and he said, well, the mustache, that's all.

647
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: He said, Well, okay, Well I guess I have to

648
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: expand on the question a little bit too. Of course,

649
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's a calling card for him. You know

650
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: that's good as town of how it is. But you know,

651
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: it seems like he had an okay training camp, right.

652
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the knock on him coming out was, Okay,

653
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: doesn't have a huge arm, he's not that tall, but

654
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: he's super smart. And you know, I'm not calling him

655
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, but that was kind of the same knock

656
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: on Drew Brees. Though of course Drew was a higher

657
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: round draft pick coming out, so there's something to him though.

658
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: There's that intelligence factor. He loves the game of football,

659
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: super football IQ. I mean, the guy's story is unbelievable.

660
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: He was at a junior college in Mississippi, was at

661
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: Troy as ann grad before that, went to East Carolina,

662
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: finished his undergrad there and played two seasons. Was going

663
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: to transfer as a grad, transfer to Alabama and basically

664
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 1: be a glorified grad assistant and learn how to coach

665
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: under Nick Saban, Right, And that's when Mike Leach called

666
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: him and said, hey, do you want to lead to

667
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: lead the nation in passing? Come to Washington State for

668
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: a year because they were in the market for a

669
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: grad transfer quarterback at that time, and he did. All

670
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's going from learning how to coach

671
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: to starting at least eight weeks in the National Football

672
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,280
Speaker 1: League as a rookie. I mean, this is pretty crazy.

673
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: The year he's had, the year or two years he's

674
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: had in his football career. He's got a personality that's

675
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: easy to like. He's pretty laid back guy, but he's

676
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: got that intelligence and some sharp wit about him, and

677
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 1: the guys love him. Then they rallied around that guy

678
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 1: on offense. The defense didn't really do a great job

679
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: of holding up there into the bargain last week, but

680
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: the offense, did you know, the offensive line was a

681
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,280
Speaker 1: little bit of a patchwork job last week. They stood

682
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: in there and they gave him time. The receivers made

683
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: plays for him, and they did they I think, you know,

684
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: he played winning football last week, which is all you

685
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 1: can really ask for a guy just coming cold off

686
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: the bench in his first ever NFL game, a sixth

687
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: round draft pick, and that's pretty remarkable day. So can't

688
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: he do it week over week? Time will tell you

689
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: just don't know. But the first time out there was

690
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 1: pretty remarkable to see. Well, let's switch gears and talk

691
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: about a very high draft pick in Leonard Fournette. He

692
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,439
Speaker 1: seemed to also bounce back after missing some games last year,

693
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: put up ninety four yards from scrimmage. Do you see

694
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: the Jags using him a little bit differently this year?

695
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 1: And what was the change for him from last year

696
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: to this year? I know they made a lot of

697
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: changes in that rby room. Yeah, I mean the big

698
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: change for him, I think was with him, you know,

699
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: just personally in the off season because remember the last

700
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 1: you know vision we had a Leonard Fournette last football

701
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 1: season was him and t J. Yelden sitting on the

702
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:02,280
Speaker 1: bench while the offense is on the field and basically pouting,

703
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: you know, and not not doing things well. And Tom

704
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: Coffin has to come out with a statement after the

705
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,439
Speaker 1: game saying, you know, whatever he said about it, didn't

706
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: like it and all that stuff that was not a

707
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 1: good taste. So he had to meet with the brass

708
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 1: and kind of get back in good races and do

709
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 1: all that. Well, then he spent this whole offseason trying

710
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: to get back and trying to figure out who he

711
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: really is and what he is as a running back.

712
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: So he went back to his strength and condition coach

713
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: from college who is now at the University of Wyoming.

714
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 1: So he called him. He's like, well, I'm in Wyoming. Now.

715
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: It's like, what's in Wyoming. I don't have been in Wyoming,

716
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, like what. He goes out to the University

717
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: of Wyoming this summer and actually earlier so it was

718
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: still snowing and all that, and iility and it's pretty amazing.

719
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: So he gets out of New Orleans, gets out of

720
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: the whole environment there. He says, he's cut some people

721
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 1: out of his life and he's kind of simplified things

722
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 1: and kind of dedicated himself back to the game. And

723
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: you know, it looked the pre season in the training

724
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 1: camp was a good look for him. You know, he's

725
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: he looks to be in shape, he runs hard. He

726
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: just sounds different when he talks. Now he's, you know,

727
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: at least to the media, he's a little more open

728
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: at least so far. And I think it's been a

729
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: good offseason for him, no doubt. Yeah, Alfred Blue also

730
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 1: there joining the running backs and Carlo unfortunately he heard

731
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: his he had an ankle Andre I think earlier in preseason,

732
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: so he's on a high our designator to return as well.

733
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: We swapped running backs because Carlos Hides Dune some nice

734
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: things in the run game here, So that's like it's

735
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: seeing Carlos Hide run like that on Monday Night was

736
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,479
Speaker 1: pretty amazing because we didn't I don't think we saw

737
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 1: that type of of running from Carlos Hide here last

738
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: year in the short time he was around. Yeah, it

739
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,760
Speaker 1: was definitely an older version of Carlos Hide. He's running

740
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: with a chip on his shoulders. It'll be fun to

741
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:50,919
Speaker 1: watch him as a season goes on. I know. Another

742
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: highlight that we were all talking about was the mild

743
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 1: Jack highlight of him getting ejected from the game. What

744
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: was that a highlight? I guess, I guess we're in

745
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: the We're an imposing team in the division, so it

746
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: was very interesting. It's probably not so much for you all,

747
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: But what was Doug Morone saying about that? It seemed surprising,

748
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: especially with a guy like Tom Coughlin in the building. Yeah,

749
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: it was a bad look. I'll say that it was

750
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: a bad look for Miles first of all, obviously he's

751
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: the one that was having to go through all that,

752
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:24,839
Speaker 1: and for the organization, certainly, I don't I wouldn't shy

753
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: away from saying that it's just an embarrassing moment and

754
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: you gotta remember what was happening. I mean is it's

755
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: not the first time something like this has happened around

756
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:37,320
Speaker 1: this team the last year or two in adverse situations

757
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: when things aren't going well. A lot of times on

758
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the football. Well, Kansas City had

759
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: been able to go up and down the field the

760
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: first four drives. It should have been twenty eight points

761
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: for Kansas City. Mahomes try to no look past for

762
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: no reason, missed the guy and then missed Kelsey in

763
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: the back of the end zone again. So it wasn't

764
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,760
Speaker 1: going well on defense. And then you know, Sammy Watkins

765
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: runs over Miles and apparently says something. Miles takes offense.

766
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: There's a push and a shove and this and that,

767
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: and there's a punch right in front of an official

768
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: and that's what gets your throwne from the game. Well,

769
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: I think Miles was just mad that it wasn't another

770
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 1: guy on their team getting thrown out too. So, but

771
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: that whole scene of him being escorted off the field

772
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: by two Jaguars officials is you can't unsee that, you know,

773
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: and it's it is out of character for Miles. That's

774
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: not him, you know, he just gotta voted. Remember what

775
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: happened in last week. He signed a contract extension for

776
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: big money and he was named a team captain for

777
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 1: the first time, and then that happens. I think his

778
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: apology after the game was proper. I think it was genuine.

779
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: But the only way to prove that is to go

780
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: out there and not do it again and lead your

781
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: football team. Is the middle linebacker, so not a good look.

782
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 1: And Doug Marone said, hey man, we can It's really

783
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: up to the guys in the locker room. We can

784
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: find him. We can take play and time away. We

785
00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 1: do a lot of stuff. We need our guys on

786
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: the yield, obviously, but it's really up to them. Do

787
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: they want to help the teams? Do they want to

788
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 1: hurt the team? And if they want to hurt the team,

789
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: then we're not going to go anywhere anyway. So that's

790
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: kind of where we are right now. Go up to

791
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 1: those guys to fix it inside the locker room the

792
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: fifty three guys. I know that Jags defense is going

793
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: to be looking to bounce back on Sunday against the Texans.

794
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you about my good friend Jalen Ramsey.

795
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: I had a chance to talk to him about the

796
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl and I was accidentally on Jalen two point OTV,

797
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: which I didn't realize it my interviewing him. He was

798
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: also miked up and on camera. So I got to

799
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: ask you about him because he always has such wonderful

800
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: things to say about DeAndre Hopkins and Deshaun Watson. You know,

801
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: what do you expect from that matchup as they look

802
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 1: to try to get their first one of the season.

803
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: I think it's it's always must sy TV, right, I

804
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: mean we saw it happen on Monday Night with the

805
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: Seawan and d hop I mean those guys put out

806
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: a show probably should have won the football game, and

807
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 1: now will and now Will Fuller as well too. I

808
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: mean the whole There are multiple guys on an offense,

809
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: but but just Hopkins and put pticulate when he lies.

810
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: That's what Jalen wants, right if you know, and he's

811
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: asked for it and he said this last week when

812
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: here comes Tyreek Hill into the building, right, they were

813
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: gonna follow Jalen with Tyreek all day, that was the plan.

814
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 1: And then Jalen knocked him out of the game, lands

815
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: on top of him and hurt his collar bone too. So, um,

816
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, he wants this matchup. He loves this matchup.

817
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 1: He loves going against the best, and sometimes Hopkins will

818
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,840
Speaker 1: win some of these. We've seen times in the past

819
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 1: where where Ramsey's beating him on a few times and

820
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: as you know, fans have put the third down thing

821
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: on social media or Ramsey's kind of knocked him out

822
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 1: of bounds on third down short a bunch of times.

823
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 1: I love it though. I Mean, the thing is, though,

824
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: if Jalen's going to be the big time all pro corner,

825
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 1: he's got to do that every week. You know, He's

826
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: got to come up against the guy and not miss

827
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: an assignment and not go the wrong way. And a

828
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 1: couple of times there were moments and the coaches said

829
00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: it that he missed some things last week. And so

830
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 1: if this defense is going to be the elite group

831
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: they are, your elite cornerback has to be the elite cornerback.

832
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: He is, and it takes all eleven of those guys,

833
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: but especially that guy, So it's a great matchup. I

834
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: think he'll be super sharp focused this week after what

835
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: happened last week. They give up forty to Kansas City,

836
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: and I think that's going to be a fantastic matchup

837
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 1: because he'll be so locked in this week and ready

838
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: to go against the hopp he always is. That's one

839
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: of my favorite matchups to watch, just because it's such

840
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,919
Speaker 1: a good rivalry on the field, but they're such good

841
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 1: friends off the field, so they're not There's nothing but

842
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: praise from both both guys, from Hopkins on Ramsey and

843
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 1: Ramsey on Hopkins. But I'm glad that they get to

844
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 1: face each other twice a year and they get to

845
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 1: live out their dreams of covering each other. If anything else. Yeah,

846
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: it's it's always fun to watch, man, it really is.

847
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: And you know, from the Jaguar's perspective, you know everything

848
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: that happened with it, And remember what happened in the

849
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: off season with Jaylen Right he comes to training camp

850
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: in the armored car and we we remember, you know,

851
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: he wants to contract. The Jags are not going to

852
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: give him the contract this year. So if that's what

853
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: he wants to be, you got to go out against

854
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 1: a guy like Hopkins and shut those guys down a

855
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: week over a week. You got to do it every

856
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,280
Speaker 1: time out, all right? Looking forward to a JP Shaddick

857
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars Radio Network, JP, thanks again, we'll talk in.

858
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:21,879
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to talk to you. Deeply appreciate it. Yeah,

859
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,720
Speaker 1: we had a little quid pro quo with JP Shadick

860
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 1: this week. He texted me, I went on his show,

861
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,799
Speaker 1: he came on our show. That's kind on the way

862
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: we do in the AFC South, looking out for each

863
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:35,240
Speaker 1: other until Sunday, and then we don't want the Jaguars

864
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: to win. They don't want the Texans to win. But

865
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 1: he's right. Two and one teams. I don't want to

866
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 1: say must win, but home division games are pretty much

867
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,720
Speaker 1: must win opportunities. You don't want to lose any divisional games.

868
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:55,399
Speaker 1: But you lose divisional home games, oh that's not good.

869
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:59,760
Speaker 1: Hopefully that won't happen. Hopefully now now, there are fourteen

870
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: games games this weekend, plus the Texas Jaguars game. But

871
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: I never predict the Texas Jaguars game, and I never

872
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 1: do that, but the other fourteen that I will not

873
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: only straight up but against the spread. I do that

874
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: as a way of discussing the games, and we'll discuss

875
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: all of them next right here on Texans All Access.

876
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: Right now, I am calling all Houston area teachers and

877

884
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: Texas All Access on this Friday evening. I'm your host,

885
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: John Harris, football analyst and sideline reporter for your Houston Texans. Now.

886
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: I love this segment because I know I'm gonna be right.

887
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna be wrong, But I love talking

888
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: about the rest of the league in addition to Texans.

889
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: But I love talking about the rest of the league.

890
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: And I do it where I make predictions of all

891
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: games this weekend minus one that will be the Texas

892
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: Jaguars and never go against my heart in my head,

893
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 1: but I will say, and looking at the spread the Texans,

894
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: I've seen it as much as ten, but it's showing

895
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: right now on what I'm looking at as the Texas

896
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: being an eight and a half point favorite. That's probably

897
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: some gardener Minshoe magic going in that direction, which is

898
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 1: probably why the spread is dropped a little bit. But

899
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: Texas favored by eight and a half. And I always

900
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: take the Texas to win and to cover. That's just

901
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: kind of the way that I go. Now the fourteen

902
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:45,919
Speaker 1: other games, let's go, oh wait, how about my music there?

903
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 1: It is all right now we're ready. San Francisco forty

904
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 1: nine ers go to Cincinnati. So the matchup, I mean,

905
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: obviously it happens every eight years where San Francisco goes

906
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati. But this is a rematch of Super Bowl sixteen.

907
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: How many years ago was that? Like L one two?

908
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, thinking did roam revals, but the Niners

909
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: gonna win Last week against Tampa Bay defense came up

910
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: big three interceptions in that game against Jameis Winston. The

911
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: Bengals went to Seattle and made that one close. I

912
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: don't think anybody expected that. Nobody really knew what to

913
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: expect from Zach Taylor, the first time head coach, and

914
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 1: the Bengals running stuff that I think Bengals fans were like,

915
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: what are we looking at? But they couldn't get the win.

916
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: But John Ross was a revelation the rookie draft, the

917
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver drafted a few years ago hasn't done much,

918
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 1: but boy he was electric the other day. Is it enough?

919
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's actually favored by one at home? I'm gonna give

920
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,480
Speaker 1: San Francisco the win and the cover. It's basically straight up.

921
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 1: I think the Niners are gonna get it done. I

922
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: think that defense is about ready to evolve into one

923
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 1: of the not one of the best of the league,

924
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 1: but one of the top ten to twelve. They were

925
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 1: opportunistic last week. I think they'll be opportunistic again. Forty

926
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: nine ers is gonna get the win and the cover

927
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: on the road. Obviously, we'll get the cover if they

928
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 1: get the win because they're a one point dog. Let's

929
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: go with the Niners to win at Cincinnati. I like

930
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 1: what Zach Tavis doing with Cincinnati, though I like it.

931
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: He has done a really nice job with that offense,

932
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: showing some different wrinkles. We'll see if Robert Salid, defensive

933
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: coordinator for the forty nine ers, can catch up to it.

934
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 1: I think he will. I think he's got some town

935
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: on outside of the ball. I think Niners win and

936
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: cover Chargers one to oh. They got an overtime win

937
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 1: against the Inneapolis Colts thirty to twenty four last week

938
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 1: and Detroit, Oh, Detroit Blue one. They blew it. They

939
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 1: had a lead over the Cardinals, were dominating the game

940
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: and Kyler Murray woke up in the second half, actually

941
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, brought them back and tied. Yeah, the

942
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 1: Lions start the year with a tie. The Chargers are

943
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: favoryboy one and a half. I'm taking the Chargers to

944
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 1: win outright on the road and cover that one and

945
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: a half. Basically a pick him. In that case, I'm

946
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 1: taking the Charger. I don't think the Chargers are what

947
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers were last year. They've got guys banged up.

948
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: They have running backs haven't reported. I still think they've

949
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: got talent at the running back position with Austin Akla

950
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 1: and Justin Jackson, but receiving wise Keen Allenser guy, but

951
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 1: Mike Williams have banged up. They don't have Tyroll Williams

952
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 1: any longer. If it's a line did not look good

953
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 1: against the Colts, I didn't think out the offensive line

954
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: look miserable. No Russell o'com I'm taking the Chargers still

955
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: to win and beat the Lions and beat two and

956
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:32,919
Speaker 1: oh by the time Texans get there. In Week three,

957
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,880
Speaker 1: Vikings Packers both teams. One to know. Packers get that

958
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 1: ten three ugly win against the Bears. Now, anyone on

959
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: the road really is not ugly. But if you sat out,

960
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: sat and watch that game all night last Thursday, you

961
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 1: realize that ugly football. But give Packers credit beating a

962
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: good Bears team on the road. Vikings dominated at Lant

963
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: at home dominated. I watching the Packers in training camp,

964
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: I did not think the Packers were on par with

965
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: some of the better teams in the league, and I

966
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 1: think the Vikings will prove it. I think the Vikings

967
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: are gonna go into Lambeau and get a win. Greenmay's

968
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 1: favorite by two and a half. I think Minnesota goes

969
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 1: and gets the outright win over the Packers. Kirk Cousins

970
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: gets it done. Throwing more than ten times this week,

971
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 1: only threw ten times last week. They didn't need him

972
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: to throw so Gary Kubiak, Kevin step Stepanski, they decided,

973
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: you know what, let's just run the rock. Dalvin Cook,

974
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 1: he showed it all. I'm taking the Vikings to win

975
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 1: and cover that two and a half. Colts and Titans.

976
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 1: I went back and forth on this. The Titans are

977
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 1: favored by three. I'm not sure why. I think the

978
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: Cults are just a better football team. I watched it.

979
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: Not all I watched. I missed like the third quarter.

980
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 1: I watched most of the fourth and overtime, and I

981
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: watched most of the first half. And I'm watching the

982
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 1: Colts and Chargers now. I don't think the Charges are great,

983
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: but I don't think there's a ton of drop off

984
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: without Andrew Luck, which scares me a little bit. I

985
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:58,919
Speaker 1: think the Culture gonna win this game on the road.

986
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 1: The Titans struggle against the Colts. I just some of

987
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 1: the Titans if they're not hanted three interceptions from Baker Mayfield,

988
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: if they pull out that game against the Browns. Either way,

989
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 1: I think the Colts win this. They obviously cover the three.

990
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm going with road dog to win outright. At Tennessee, Indianapolis, Beach,

991
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 1: Tennessee and the other AFC South matchup. The Patriots go

992
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: to Miami. The last time the Patriots in Miami, you

993
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: remember that play Kenny Stills caught he flipped at DeVante Parker.

994
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: Parker flipped it to Kenyan Drake and then Drake ran

995
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: about fifty yards in the end zone pass Rob Gronkowski

996
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 1: for the improbable Miami miracle and a win. It'll be

997
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 1: a miracle if the Dolphins get inside the eighteen and

998
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 1: a half point number. I'm taking the Patriots to cover

999
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: the eighteen and a half and obviously get to win

1000
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: in Miami. Not really much to talk about there, to

1001
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 1: be honest. The Bills in a battle of the stated

1002
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:55,240
Speaker 1: New York Josh Allen's Bills brought him back from behind.

1003
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 1: They go back to the Meadowlands for the second straight week.

1004
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: Played the Jets Las week. Bills came from behind in

1005
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: one seventeen sixteen. This week they faced the Giants and

1006
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:08,840
Speaker 1: the Giants got blown out. Is that the right word?

1007
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:10,919
Speaker 1: I almost did a bad word. They got blown out

1008
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: by the Cowboys, and the Cowboys are really good. I

1009
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 1: know y'all don't like hearing at and I don't like

1010
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: saying it. The Cowboys are really really good. It's not

1011
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: don't about a ton of stock in it. But I

1012
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 1: am going with the Bills. I think the Giants talent

1013
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 1: discrepancy in these two teams. I think the Bills have

1014
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: more talent. I don't know the Giants little good Sakwan

1015
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: Bark being involved, probably a little bit more. But that

1016
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:34,959
Speaker 1: Bill's defense, I think is gonna be very very good.

1017
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 1: So let's go with the Bills. Favored by two to

1018
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: cover and win outright. Seahawks, Steelers. This one's in Pittsburgh.

1019
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 1: Seattle's now going to cross the country play at twelve.

1020
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, a one pm Eastern kick that always kind

1021
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 1: of messages with the body clock. I know Pittsburgh is

1022
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: gonna bounce back Seattle. I'm not sure totally what to

1023
01:04:56,760 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 1: make of them right now. Cincinnati, that game was uglied

1024
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 1: up somehow, some way, and Seattle found a way to win,

1025
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 1: and I'll give him credit for that. Pittsburgh favored by

1026
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 1: three and a half, it's a little rich. I think

1027
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 1: this one's gonna be very close. I'm gonna give Pittsburgh

1028
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 1: the win, but I'm gonna give Seattle the cover. I

1029
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: think this will be like twenty four twenty three. It'll

1030
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: be twenty four twenty one that'll get inside the three

1031
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:20,280
Speaker 1: and a half. I think it's gonna be that kind

1032
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: of game. But I do think the Steelers get the

1033
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 1: win and the Seahawks will get inside that number and

1034
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: get the cover. The Cowboys go to the Redskins, and

1035
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 1: I'll just make this really easy. The Cowboys are very

1036
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: very good, the Redskins are not, and the Cowboys are

1037
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: favored by five and a half on the road. Now,

1038
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 1: the last time these two teams played up in Washington,

1039
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 1: mistakes by the Cowboys cost them that game, as field

1040
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 1: go at the end, which would have put it in overtime.

1041
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 1: A lot of things that went into that. Cowboys played

1042
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: the Redskins later in the year and just drug them,

1043
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 1: just drug them. I think the Cowboys will do that again.

1044
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys moved to two and oh they

1045
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:57,919
Speaker 1: cover that five and a half, they'll win by seven

1046
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 1: or more. Cardinals go to Ravens Battle of the Birds.

1047
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Raiders want to know after just Curb stopping Miami down

1048
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: in Miami, the Cardinals got that tie. Kyler Murray woke

1049
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:11,360
Speaker 1: up in the fourth quarter. Offense woke up they got

1050
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: it going, couldn't get it going enough to get the win,

1051
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 1: but they gotta tie. Baltimore is favored by thirteen. I

1052
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 1: think that's a lot of points, but I agree with

1053
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 1: the oddsmakers on this one. I'm going with Baltimore to

1054
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 1: win and cover the thirteen. Boy cover that thirteen Kansas

1055
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 1: City in the afternoon. That's our first afternoon game. The

1056
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs go to the Raiders. Both teams want to know.

1057
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 1: Raiders looked much much better against Denver on monder f

1058
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 1: Football after our game against the Saints. They looked much

1059
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 1: better offense, line protected better, car got the ball up quickly.

1060
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 1: They moved the ball offensively, Josh Jacobs, is the truth

1061
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 1: that running back defense played pretty well. They protected up

1062
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:52,680
Speaker 1: against a line that featured Bradley Chubb and Von Miller.

1063
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are different breed though they can move the

1064
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 1: ball on anybody. Now no team, no Tyreek Hill. But

1065
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 1: the do not have Jonathan Abram and he had already

1066
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: turned into one of the better players that the Raiders

1067
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 1: had on the defensive side of the ball. So I'm

1068
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Chiefs to get a win on

1069
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: the road. Last time in Oakland for the Chiefs these

1070
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 1: two rivals. Kans City's favored by seven. I think I

1071
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: think that's really honestly, I think it's right at the number.

1072
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 1: This feels like thirty four, twenty seven, thirty eight, thirty

1073
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 1: one kind of feels like that kind of game. I'm

1074
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: gonna go with Kansas City to get the win. Ama

1075
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna get him the cover. I think it's gonna be

1076
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: seven or more, but I feel like it's right at seven.

1077
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: I'll give him seven or more. So Chiefs get to

1078
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: win in a cover in Oakland Almeda Coliseum, which is

1079
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 1: now what has it been called? Now? I don't even

1080
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: know what it's called now, But either way, Chiefs take

1081
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 1: him Bears Broncos the vic Fangio Bowl. He's gonna get

1082
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:47,479
Speaker 1: a chance to see his Bears Broncos return home. After

1083
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 1: a lackluster performance in loss in Oakland, the Bears move

1084
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 1: out to Denver to take on the Broncos. After a lackluster,

1085
01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 1: boring performance, the Bears are favored by two and a half.

1086
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Bears even though I'm a big

1087
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 1: believer in Mitchell Trubisky, but I'm less of a believer

1088
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 1: of Joe Flacco. So I think the Bears are gonna

1089
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 1: get the win. It's gonna be like nine to six,

1090
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 1: but that'll be more than two and a half. So

1091
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 1: give the Bears the win and the cover, and then

1092
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 1: you got the big one out West Saints Rams. Rams

1093
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: win by three on the road against the Panthers. Saints

1094
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 1: win by two against the Texans on Monday Night. Rams

1095
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 1: are favored by two. I think the Saints just stepping

1096
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: back more talent less talent. I think the Saints are

1097
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 1: more talented than Rams, and they played well in La

1098
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Really kind of Albert chaMaria

1099
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: sort of broke out in that game against the Rams

1100
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:45,519
Speaker 1: two years ago. I don't know how good defensively the

1101
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 1: Rams are. I know they have Aaron Donald like. I

1102
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 1: get that, but I don't know that the Rams are

1103
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 1: that good defensively. I don't know that. I want to

1104
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 1: all the way buy in on New Orleans going out

1105
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 1: because I know how much this means to the Saints,

1106
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 1: to the fans, etc. I'm gonna take the Saints in

1107
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 1: an upset. I'm gonna get the Saints a win. They'll

1108
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 1: cover the well, they're already a dog. I'm gonna get

1109
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: the Saints to win. So I'll get those Saints to

1110
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 1: win and they cover Eagles Falcons. Falcons got destroyed against

1111
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 1: the Vikings, destroyed. Vikers ran all over him. Eagles came

1112
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:23,640
Speaker 1: from behind it when they hit the fifth gear in

1113
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 1: second half, forget it. I think it's gonna be really

1114
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 1: tough for the Falcons. I think the Eagles, favored by two,

1115
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: are gonna win this by more than two. Let's take

1116
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: Eagles to win and to cover that two points, and

1117
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 1: then the Browns and Jets. Sam Donald has motto, it's

1118
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:40,560
Speaker 1: all you need to know. Browns are gonna cover that

1119
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 1: six and a half and win over the New York Jets.

1120
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 1: So there you go. There are your predictions for all

1121
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 1: games on Sunday and Monday. All right, we get back.

1122
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 1: It is time for our Players segment that means Player Reporter,

1123
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 1: brought to you by Arctic b Scar TV and the

1124
01:09:57,840 --> 01:09:59,760
Speaker 1: Final Word with Drew Dorty in this week, it's the

1125
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: honorable one Jonathan Joseph next right here at Texans All Access,

1126
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 1: Hop and Iron in the same draft class. And so

1127
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 1: you know I've watched it he's done over the past

1128
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:14,599
Speaker 1: six seven years now, and so that's exciting for me

1129
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 1: to be around him, see the way he works and

1130
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 1: just learn from him. And then obviously what Will has

1131
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 1: done and what Kiki's done, So we have a ton

1132
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:24,799
Speaker 1: of potential. We just have to stay healthy and work together,

1133
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 1: and you know, we can put a lot of fearing

1134
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,879
Speaker 1: and into the defenses that you play. That was Kenny Stills,

1135
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: recently acquired wide receiver for your Houston Texans, who made

1136
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 1: a couple of huge place for the Texans. He had

1137
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 1: a first down on a little push pass in the

1138
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 1: first I think it was first half that he picked

1139
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:45,000
Speaker 1: up a third down, caught it coming across, got the

1140
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 1: first down, had a I think it was on a

1141
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: scoring drive as well. That was a big play in

1142
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:51,639
Speaker 1: that drive. And then of course the touchdown that everybody

1143
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,439
Speaker 1: will remember. I know how this one ended, but people

1144
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 1: are gonna remember that for a long time. He got

1145
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 1: inside of the defensive back. I think it was a

1146
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,719
Speaker 1: nickel and there was a lot of space on the inside,

1147
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:03,600
Speaker 1: but he sold at the outside, got inside, made to

1148
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:06,760
Speaker 1: catch for a touchdown, and then absolute delirium on the

1149
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:10,840
Speaker 1: sidelines just I mean, it was crazy. It was crazy.

1150
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 1: But Kenny Stills talking about the fire power in this

1151
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 1: receiver corp. When you, as he mentioned Hop, Will Key,

1152
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:26,760
Speaker 1: Key self, DeAndre Carter, I mean, those those five guys

1153
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 1: right there, I mean, that's that's a scary crew to

1154
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:34,400
Speaker 1: go against. He mentioned the most important aspect the very end,

1155
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 1: which was to stay healthy. That's something Kenny Stills has done,

1156
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 1: knock on wood that he will continue to do that.

1157
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:44,720
Speaker 1: But big ball game, big plays made. Will had the

1158
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 1: big play down the field, Kenny had the big touchdown,

1159
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 1: Hop did what Hop always does, and then he came

1160
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 1: up with the two touchdowns. So those three guys, they

1161
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 1: they did work. More work is needed. More work is

1162
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 1: going to be needed against this Jacksonville Jaguars defense. But

1163
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:08,360
Speaker 1: a tremendous showing from those three. And now presumably you

1164
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 1: add sixteen to the next and that would be Kiki

1165
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 1: QT and you could have some really fun things happen.

1166
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 1: You're listening to a Friday edition of Texans All Access.

1167

Speaker 1: play for as long as you can without mic in

1219
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 1: your hand. You're very scary to people that have mics

1220
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:13,400
Speaker 1: in your hand because you can come from my job

1221
01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 1: one day. Man. I don't know if I'm gonna like that,

1222
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 1: but he is really good. Brennan Scarlett there with our

1225
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:30,800
Speaker 1: Drew Doherty the final word. Each and every Friday, it's

1226
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:35,400
Speaker 1: the last Texans radio we have before presumably a game

1227
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and we've got nothing but Sunday games coming up.

1228
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: Sunday Jags, Sunday Chargers, Sunday Panthers Sunday Falcon Sunday Chief,

1229
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:48,839
Speaker 1: Sunday Colts, Sunday Raiders, Sunday Jags in London. It's all Sundays.

1230
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,760
Speaker 1: We're getting in a routine, if you will. And I

1231
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:54,639
Speaker 1: give that final word to Drew each and every week

1232
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:56,720
Speaker 1: and he sits down with the player last week is

1233
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson. Well this week to me, and he's been

1234
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:02,679
Speaker 1: sitting down for a long time since two thousand and eleven.

1235
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph, Drew, thank you friends. We've got cornerback Jonathan

1236
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:11,520
Speaker 1: Joseph with us now. And Jonathan, good to have you on. Jaguars.

1237
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 1: Will wait. It's a quick turnaround after playing on Monday

1238
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,880
Speaker 1: night football. You've done this quite some time, now, what's

1239
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 1: that turnaround like for you? I was quick, you know,

1240
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:21,839
Speaker 1: first in mind said I think first and foremost, you know, obviously,

1241
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:23,800
Speaker 1: to get the bad taste out of your mouth, you know,

1242
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: whatever the reaction is from the game, previous game, and

1243
01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 1: I think the next thing, you know it, media, is

1244
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:30,600
Speaker 1: how quick can you get your body to recover and

1245
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 1: get onto the next game and get into the playbook

1246
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 1: and get into you know, fam studying things and preparation.

1247
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:38,759
Speaker 1: You guys have done that already. You kind of double

1248
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 1: up the week leading up to the Monday night, or

1249
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 1: you put some stuff in there against Jacksonville As far

1250
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 1: as getting ready for them, What you think your first

1251
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: time together as a defense went, like on the whole.

1252
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 1: What were some of your takeaways in that Saints game.

1253
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 1: I think it was a roller coaster, right. I think,

1254
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, we had a couple of sudden changes, but

1255
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 1: we had to go back out there and hop on

1256
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 1: the short field, different situations, you know, from a turnover

1257
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: from the offense, things like that. When I then responded, well,

1258
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:03,640
Speaker 1: I think in the first half he was out to

1259
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 1: a great start and I think in the second half

1260
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 1: was kind of a rollercross them. It was something good

1261
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 1: and bad. And I think that's what you look for

1262
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 1: first time out. Seet guys, jail well together, see O,

1263
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 1: guys fit in. See was being aggressive, Who's making plays?

1264
01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:18,679
Speaker 1: See who knows their assignments, Who's you know, retaining information

1265
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 1: from what you gave him throughout the weekend, things like that.

1266
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 1: And I think we had, you know, a lot of

1267
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 1: positives and a lot of negatives also, and I think

1268
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:26,439
Speaker 1: we have to learn from that. And obviously this week

1269
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 1: was a big week and some of those negatives are

1270
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 1: going to happen when you play against the Hall of

1271
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:32,320
Speaker 1: Fame quarterback who's got you could argue, maybe the best

1272
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 1: offensive line in front of him and a really good

1273
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 1: receiving corps. What are some positive you takeaway from what

1274
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 1: just went down? It went right down to the wire.

1275
01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 1: You know, for whatever bad happened in that game, we

1276
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 1: gave ourself a chance to win that game at the end.

1277
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 1: And obviously, you know that's on us as a defense.

1278
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:47,640
Speaker 1: We have to go up there and boy up at

1279
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 1: the end and pull that game out. But you know,

1280
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 1: through all those situations throughout the game, you know, you

1281
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:53,720
Speaker 1: look at the first half, it's the type ball game

1282
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:55,720
Speaker 1: we battled and stayed in and then fall and took

1283
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 1: the lead. Second half went down, came back, We stopped

1284
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 1: them a couple of times, but didn't get their fine stop.

1285
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 1: And like I said, that's a learning lesson. As a defense,

1286
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 1: we have to go out there and you know, have

1287
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 1: self awareness and understand every situation. Self awareness is always key,

1288
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 1: and awareness of the quarterback. Also, who is Gardner minshew?

1289
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:15,000
Speaker 1: This is a rookie you're facing in the Jacksonville Jaguars

1290
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:17,559
Speaker 1: on Sunday At that narg Stadium. Yeah, he's a rookie,

1291
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:19,920
Speaker 1: but you know, obviously they have a lot of confidence

1292
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:21,760
Speaker 1: in him. I think he came in, you know, when

1293
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:24,000
Speaker 1: foes went down and played really well for those guys,

1294
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 1: and I think you look at the history of him,

1295
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's a former junior college Player

1296
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 1: of the Year and national Player of the Year, and

1297
01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 1: you know a thing or two about junior college. If

1298
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 1: you succeed at a junior college, what happens. You can

1299
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 1: make it anywhere. You can make it anywhere. So that

1300
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:39,120
Speaker 1: first thing that caught my attention, right, you know, I

1301
01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:40,559
Speaker 1: looked to see what was out there in the Jayhawk

1302
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 1: Jayhawk Conference in Kansas. And then second, you know, he

1303
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 1: was at Washington State. I think he was a coach leach.

1304
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:49,280
Speaker 1: He's a Offensive Player of the Year for that conference also,

1305
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:51,600
Speaker 1: so you know, he's no guy that's just hopping in

1306
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 1: there with any experience. Obviously he's not a start at

1307
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 1: the NFL level, but he's had several experience throughout his

1308
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 1: playing career, and obviously he's played at the high level

1309
01:18:58,560 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: for him to be offensive player of the Year in

1310
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 1: of a league. The Jaguars lose that game, he comes

1311
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:04,120
Speaker 1: in in the middle of it, he goes twenty two

1312
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 1: of twenty five. Now I know he wasn't going deep

1313
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:09,680
Speaker 1: every single time, but still, Jonathan, twenty two to twenty five.

1314
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:11,599
Speaker 1: That's not easy to do, isn't. Oh not at all.

1315
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:13,680
Speaker 1: I think that show speaks volumes will buy the kid

1316
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:15,800
Speaker 1: like him that was in them. You know a lot

1317
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:17,640
Speaker 1: of times those backup sitting there at the next guy

1318
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:20,479
Speaker 1: sitting there, don't take those meetings seriously. Think you know,

1319
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: you look at him, he prepared were all week and

1320
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:24,720
Speaker 1: when his time and his number got called, you know,

1321
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:27,360
Speaker 1: with folds unexpectedly going down, he's able to go up

1322
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: in there and pick things up, you know, whether it's

1323
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: quick or short passes. Like you said, that's hard to

1324
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:32,439
Speaker 1: do in this league, and he's able to go out

1325
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 1: there and execute those things and makes things happen. Now,

1326
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:36,240
Speaker 1: on the flip side, though he is a rookie quarterback,

1327
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 1: it's start number one for him. He's seen basically one

1328
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 1: half and change of football. You've had your successes against

1329
01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:44,320
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks over the year, so has defensive coordinated Romeo Cornell.

1330
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:45,880
Speaker 1: What are some of the positives when you go against

1331
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 1: the rookie he's got to mix it up and show

1332
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:49,479
Speaker 1: them different looks you got. You can't let them, you know,

1333
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 1: be comfortable back there and settle land and just get

1334
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 1: the ripping the ball all over the field and getting

1335
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 1: that comfort zone. You know, every time you come out there,

1336
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,480
Speaker 1: you have to make that quarterback think, make them be uncomfortable.

1337
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 1: I think the d line has to push the pocket,

1338
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 1: you know, get them off the spot, and us as

1339
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:06,479
Speaker 1: the defenders, we have to crowd the space on the

1340
01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:08,439
Speaker 1: wide receivers and make tight windows for him to go in.

1341
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:11,000
Speaker 1: How about Conley, how about Westbrook? How about Chark? What

1342
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:12,840
Speaker 1: sort of wide receiving crew does he have out there?

1343
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: They got a great mixture of guys. You know, you

1344
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 1: got those guys, and you got the guys that was

1345
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 1: dead before those guys, a couple of guys that had injuries,

1346
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,640
Speaker 1: and guys that's mixing in with those guys. And they

1347
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 1: got a great group of guys from guys that's tall

1348
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:25,120
Speaker 1: and fast, guys that's short and quick, guys that can

1349
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:28,599
Speaker 1: catch over the show, the guys that can Westbrook Marquis League,

1350
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:30,680
Speaker 1: that can you know, take reverses, take you know, those

1351
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 1: catching run plays to the house. So they got a great,

1352
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:34,680
Speaker 1: great mixture of young guys that can go over there

1353
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 1: and get it accomplished. You were on the sidelines when

1354
01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 1: it was really really loud on Monday night football. You'll

1355
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:41,880
Speaker 1: be in between the lines when it's loud on Sunday.

1356
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 1: How much are you looking forward to just playing in

1357
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:46,639
Speaker 1: front of the Energy Stadium crowd. I just can't wait,

1358
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, and second to none, you know, playing in

1359
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 1: front this crowd, this atmosphere, and you know, being on

1360
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: the road in New Orleans to kind of give you

1361
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 1: the chills a little bit, because you know what it

1362
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:55,960
Speaker 1: feels like to have home feel advantage and when the

1363
01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 1: crowd is rocking and things like that. So you know,

1364
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:00,800
Speaker 1: that's the biggest advantage that we have. And we oh,

1365
01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:03,040
Speaker 1: it was a pleasure talking to you, Jonathan Joseph seeing

1366
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 1: you absolutely Thanks. JJO brings up a really good point,

1367
01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:09,759
Speaker 1: and this is what I want you guys as listeners

1368
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 1: to heat. And I thought about this Monday and night

1369
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 1: in the Superdome and the people that were there that

1370
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:19,400
Speaker 1: weren't wearing headphones like I was. I was lucky to

1371
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: be wearing headphones, and I didn't realize how loud it

1372
01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 1: actually was. I should have taken him off at some

1373
01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 1: point and listen. But I gotta stay in tune to

1374
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:28,639
Speaker 1: what Mark and Andrea are talking about. Obviously they throw

1375
01:21:28,640 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: it down to me. I gotta be ready to go.

1376
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:32,680
Speaker 1: So I kept my headphones on pretty much the entire night.

1377
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:35,519
Speaker 1: But after Will Lutz nailed that fifty seven yard fuel

1378
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 1: goal and I ripped my headphones off just out of disappointment,

1379
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:42,720
Speaker 1: and the fans were still going crazy. I was like, yo,

1380
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 1: it is loud in here. That's the way NRG Stadium

1381
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:50,360
Speaker 1: can be when you guys ratchet it up. And this

1382
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:55,559
Speaker 1: guy's a rookie. He has got to hear you, he's

1383
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:57,479
Speaker 1: got to feel you. He's got to be in a

1384
01:21:57,560 --> 01:22:01,519
Speaker 1: huddle six inches from Leonard Fort and screaming at him

1385
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:03,640
Speaker 1: what the play is. When he goes up to the

1386
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and he's pull making his mic point

1387
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 1: or he's changing the play at the line of scrimmage,

1388
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 1: you've got to make it hell on him, make it

1389
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:17,479
Speaker 1: as difficult as it's ever been. Ramp this thing up.

1390
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 1: I would say the Twelfth Man, but I get in

1391
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:25,160
Speaker 1: trouble with my aggie friends. But be that voice that

1392
01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:28,360
Speaker 1: makes it shit. I mean, just go berserk when he's

1393
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:30,479
Speaker 1: got the ball, when the Jags have the ball, and

1394
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:32,880
Speaker 1: then when Sean's got the ball, sit back, relax and

1395
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:36,080
Speaker 1: hopefully watch one of the better offenses continue to evolve

1396
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 1: in this league. That's what we're all wanting to see

1397
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:42,840
Speaker 1: from this offense, to continue to take steps forward and

1398
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 1: then when they score, just go crazy, go nuts and

1399
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 1: celebrate it. But defensively, help this defense out. This defense meat. Listen,

1400
01:22:55,120 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 1: the more that you lose your minds and you're you're going,

1401
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:05,599
Speaker 1: it's just loud as can be. Think about Tackles having

1402
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:07,439
Speaker 1: her like looking at the ball because he can't hear

1403
01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:09,960
Speaker 1: the snap count. They can't hear it, so they got

1404
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 1: looking at the ball. That's just half a second. That's

1405
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:14,720
Speaker 1: just enough to get JJ off the edge. That's just

1406
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:16,720
Speaker 1: enough to get Wit off the edge. And if they

1407
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:18,759
Speaker 1: get off the edge and they get to the quarterback,

1408
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 1: then means she's got throw early and he wants and

1409
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:23,320
Speaker 1: then maybe a defensive back jumps and Roby picks off.

1410
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 1: It takes the house for pick six. Then you can

1411
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 1: erupt again. But you are as valuable on Sunday and

1412
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:35,400
Speaker 1: this one as at anytime, and you will be throughout

1413
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:38,280
Speaker 1: the year, but it really crystallized for me on Sunday.

1414
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,880
Speaker 1: How much or excuse me, on Monday night, how much

1415
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 1: that crowd played a factor in that game. I think

1416
01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:48,000
Speaker 1: there was a part of it where the Saints didn't

1417
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:49,920
Speaker 1: want to let them down. There was a part of that,

1418
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:51,760
Speaker 1: and so I think they played with added pressure. So

1419
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 1: that can go both ways, but you can make it

1420
01:23:55,360 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 1: ultra difficult for Gardner Minshew on Sunday. And that's gotta

1421
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 1: be your job. Everybody's going to work on Sunday. Yes,

1422
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:06,040
Speaker 1: you bought a ticket and you want to sit back

1423
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:08,759
Speaker 1: and watch great football, sit back and watch great offense,

1424
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:10,720
Speaker 1: but you go to work when this defense is on

1425
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:16,200
Speaker 1: the field. Go to work. Be loud, be emotional, get involved,

1426
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:19,720
Speaker 1: make it tough. All right, My plea is over. We

1427
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:21,840
Speaker 1: had a lot of people to thank for tonight's show.

1428
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 1: Gotta think well man Mark vandom here, Gotta thank head

1431

1432
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:41,439

1434
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 1: get your butt off, get in there early, a button,
