1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:00,920
Speaker 1: Happy Friday.

2
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 2: Everybody, Welcome into Texans All Access from the Hyundai Texans

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: Radio studio, John Harris, your host, foot play aside the reporter,

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 2: and we are less than forty eight hours away. That's

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: always my favorite way to open a Friday show, that

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: we are less than forty eight hours away from Texans

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: at NRG Stadium for just the third time in the

8
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 2: regular season.

9
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 3: Just the fourth time overall.

10
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: We had one preseason game at home, and we've had

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: a Monday night game and then a game against the Titans.

12
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: And that's it. That's all that's been here. But buckle up, Sparky,

13
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: because we got seven of the next eleven weeks at home.

14
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: How about that voice to the Texans, Mark Vandamir how

15
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: you right?

16
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,639
Speaker 1: So I don't want to read too much into this,

17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: but how many touchdowns did the Texans score against the Rams? None? None?

18
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: Against the Bucks?

19
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 4: Two?

20
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: Two at home? Nico Nico and Nick all right? At

21
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: the Jags? What what right? And then you go Tennessee

22
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: three three all rookies, ravens, lots of them, yeah. And

23
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: then the next out in Seattle only one off offensive right, offensive?

24
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: So at home two in one game, and then you

25
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: had all those against Tennessee. Great. But and look, I

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: don't want to read too much into it, but I

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: think the offense should perform better at home. This is

28
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: a scientific fact. Your offense with quiet, Yeah, you still

29
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: get false arts on occasion, you still get procedural penalties

30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: of some sort. Sure every team does, but less at home.

31
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: So that's good. You have seven of the next eleven

32
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: at home. Like you said, maybe, just maybe, I don't

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: know if it's enough, but the offense is going to

34
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: play that much better along with good defense, with the

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: volume the noise. Let's go crazy. Let's get some wins.

36
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 5: Man.

37
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: You gotta get rolling here, and no better time to

38
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: start than Sunday at noon.

39
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: And we've seen I was thinking about this as I

40
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: was driving in today. As I've said a few times

41
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: this year, I have a longer drive than normal one.

42
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: So listen to our good friend Sewan and Trumpeter Gass

43
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: and Seth Payne, and I thought they did a really

44
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: good kind of discussing what kind of the issues have

45
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: been with this team, especially on the offensive side of

46
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: the ball. And I feel like they were very fair

47
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: in their analysis. And it's a lot of things that

48
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 2: we have talked about but I feel like to your point,

49
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: playing at home, almost needing to play at home, Yeah,

50
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: and having that opportunity at home, I think is going

51
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: to be huge for this team. That said, if the

52
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: first couple drives you come out and lay an egg.

53
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: The fans are not going to be happy. They're not

54
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: going to be happy. But I am concerned about that, and.

55
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 6: I get right.

56
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: But against the Bucks after you know, after going to

57
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: the Rams and not scoring a touchdown, what'd you do

58
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: the first drive? You went right down CJ through the

59
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: deep ball to Nico for the touchdown. You boom, got up.

60
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: They answered with a touchdown. You came right back down

61
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: with three your first two drives you scored ten points. Yeah,

62
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 2: and you felt like, okay, well maybe you're going to

63
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: put up a number. You know, last time you played

64
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: the Bucks, it was a thirty nine, thirty seven cliffhanger

65
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: that went all the way down to the final gun,

66
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: and you thought, okay, well maybe that's where this one's going.

67
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: Because they go right back down and scores fourteen to ten,

68
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: and then nobody scored and then the defense is just

69
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: you know, locked in and said, nope, nobody's scoring.

70
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: Nineteen.

71
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: If you get that fourth and ten. Boy, it looks

72
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: a lot prettier on the scoreboard. Man, that was tough

73
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: to take. I think you're right though, that it could

74
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: make a difference, and against the forty nine ers, Johnny,

75
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: I look at the numbers. You talked about it yesterday,

76
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: like the whole is greater than the sub of the parts.

77
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: And that's what they're getting right now. And you're about

78
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: to hear from Demico Ryans. I guess of this segment

79
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 1: right where he'll talk about that as well, how they've

80
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: been able to put together victories because they've been in

81
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: this situation before where it's gone all wrong for them,

82
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: but they're putting it together this year.

83
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's that's got to be the key.

84
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: I mean, it's you know, this forty nine ers team

85
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: is and we've talked about this, uh and we'll have

86
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: our game preview specific game preview, we really dive deep

87
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: into things. But just going back and I watched the

88
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: second half of that game against the Atlanta Falcons, and

89
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: I just go back to something that the Miko told

90
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: me after he told me this after the loss to

91
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: the Rams, and he told me this after I remember

92
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: both times distinctly after the Seahawks game, he said, and

93
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: Santana Moss said, this a long long time ago, but

94
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: basically to Miko said, playmakers have got to make plays. Yeah,

95
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 2: and I remember Santana Moss when he stood in front

96
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: of microphone. He was at the University of Miami. I

97
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: think it was the year before you got there, and

98
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: he was like, no, it wasn't it. We were there

99
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: right after Wide right three. It was after the four

100
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: State game, and he said, big time players make big

101
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: time plays and big time games.

102
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: That you gotta And Nick Saban, you think playmakers, not plays.

103
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: And he was dead on now, you're gonna be without

104
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: two playmakers.

105
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: You gotta talk about that part.

106
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: We got you.

107
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: Right, We're without two of them, and that that hurts. However,

108
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: I remember, and I thought about this as I was

109
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: driving up here. This is one of those games. And look,

110
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 2: I know in twenty twenty things were all askew, and

111
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 2: I get all that, but there was a game in

112
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: which our starting wide receivers were Chad Hanson and Brandon Cooks.

113
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: Yeah.

114
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 2: I don't even know Brandon was even played in that game,

115
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: but Chad Hansen was starting for US at wide receiver,

116
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: and we were like, oh, are we going to do this?

117
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: And lit them up. I mean, Deshaun was fantastic.

118
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: He was absolutely fantastic, and he lit them up all

119
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: day long, thrown a chat I think Chad Hanson like

120
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: seven catches for one hundred something yards. It was it

121
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 2: was ridiculous what he was doing. And he was without

122
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: Will Fuller had been suspended and Kenny Stills had asked

123
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: for his release, so he was gone. So I mean

124
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: it literally it was like it was Brandon and in

125
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: Chad Hanson and I can't even remember.

126
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: I got a better one for you. I got a

127
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: better one, Okay, twenty twenty one Chargers. Oh yeah, Now

128
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: rookie Nikah Collins did play and did score a touchdown,

129
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: that's right, but first ever. But his becoming one of

130
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: the best receivers in the league was a great people's eye,

131
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: right because Brevin Jordan had four, Chris Moore, Chris More,

132
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: Chris Conley, they played Philip Dorris set. I mean, you

133
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: threw Davis Mills. What did he throw for this one?

134
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: He threw two touchdowns, no picks, and that was the game.

135
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: Burke had ran for one fifty. I don't I'm not

136
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: saying that's gonna happen this weekend.

137
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: But but that's guys, you've got to reach That's where

138
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: you got to reach down and find it.

139
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: Jay Higgins, Jay Nole, gotta have great games. You know.

140
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: Those guys have got to be able to make plays.

141
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 2: Wood he Mark's making plays out of the backfield. It

142
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 2: is two to Meeko's point, to Santana Moss's point, it

143
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: is playmakers and big playmakers making the plays when you

144
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: need them. And this offense needs every single one of

145
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: them because the forty nine ers are going to grind

146
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: out twenty four point points. They're gonna grind out twenty

147
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: that where you have this, they're gonna grind out twenty four.

148
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: Johnny, Yeah, you're gonna have to put up twenty five

149
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: or more to win this game. That's where see you

150
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: and I are a bit off in our numbers here.

151
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: I think, what do you think it takes?

152
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: I think twenty one gets it done.

153
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 3: Twenty one gets it done.

154
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: I remember who's playing defense. I know Houston, Texas. That's

155
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: shot home if they get over twenty. I'm really worried

156
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: about this one because the offense has been so challenged.

157
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: Right if the offense scores three touchdowns.

158
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna have four.

159
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: We're not totally, not too far off, but still that

160
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: that difference that we're talking about. You know, in NFL parlance,

161
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: three points massive.

162
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: That's massive. Another field goal means you had penetration that

163
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: deep on the end of the field. Blah blah blah.

164
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: I want to say this for a podcast, but uh,

165
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: you know, maybe later next week. But Greg Olsen was

166
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: on a podcast and he was talking about how he

167
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: thinks there's gonna be a shift in the NFL that teams,

168
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: when they get into low red zone, they will skew

169
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: fuel goals and go for it because the thought being

170
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: that if you kick a field goal and then you

171
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 2: kick off, they get the ball somewhere between the thirty

172
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: and thirty five anyways, right, so you're almost canceling out

173
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: your field goal because they're one dig rut away from

174
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: hitting a fifty yarder and you've canceled out the field.

175
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: Goal, and now you've given them life. They feel like

176
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: they got to win. They kept you out of the heats.

177
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: And his thought is his thought is that teams won't

178
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: want to kind of cancel out their field goal doing

179
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: that that will see more teams going for it because

180
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: of these new kickoffs. I thought it was an interesting

181
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: concept to happen. Make me think about it, like I'm

182
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: always thinking low red zone. I'm going for it. That's

183
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: always been my philosophy. So that's kind of the way

184
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: I've thought for years. But I know NFL coaches don't

185
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: always think that's.

186
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: A low red zone. You're not talking just goal to go.

187
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: You're talking I'm at the fourteen, yeah, yeah, right anywhere

188
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: between the ten and I get stopped. They're at the fourteen, right,

189
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: and they got a long way to go, right, and

190
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: maybe I can get it back and drive again.

191
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: Is worth You get stopped at the five and yeah,

192
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 2: and then you turn around it with our defense. You

193
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: get stopped at the five and all of a sudden

194
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 2: they get the ball and you stop them. They gotta

195
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: pump from the back of their en zone. Great, you

196
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: get another shot at it.

197
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: Anyways, I kind of like what he's saying here, because, yeah,

198
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: you're sacrificing three points, you're buying an extra play. Here's

199
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: three points. I'm gonna buy this play.

200
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 2: Right, because the thought is that they can maybe cancel

201
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: it out by getting the ball to thirty or thirty

202
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: five after the kickoff.

203
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: And plus, if my team knows that I'm gonna go

204
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: for it on fourth down, you feel like we got

205
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: four downs right right right? Maybe they're more relaxed on

206
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: third down and more productive. I don't know if that

207
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: could be overthinking.

208
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: No, absolutely, I mean I think your offensive corner has

209
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: to do with that as well. Now, the man who

210
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: would have to make that call is head coach Demico Ryans,

211
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 2: and he sat with Mark right here.

212
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: All right, coach facing the San Francisco forty nine ers,

213
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: Opportunistics seems like a good word for them. Some of

214
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: the numbers don't add up, but the wins do.

215
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, they do.

216
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 5: Man, this team has done a great job of finding

217
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 5: a way, find of no way to win, no matter

218
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 5: how it looks, they found a way. So for us,

219
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 5: I mean, we just have to come out, remain discipline

220
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 5: each and every snap, do our job you were supposed to be,

221
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 5: make the plays that we're supposed to make, and put

222
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 5: a product out there that our fans are proud of.

223
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 7: And that's our goal for this week.

224
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: You've been able to score points at home, and what's

225
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: the difference there? The good working environment home fans being

226
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: quiet for the offense, that kind of thing.

227
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 7: That helps for sure when we're moving around.

228
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 5: But it goes back to we we can score points

229
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 5: when we're just when we're efficient as an offense. Again,

230
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 5: it's gonna start with first down the same this week.

231
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 5: We got to win first down. That comes with man,

232
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 5: whatever it takes. If it's running the ball more, we

233
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 5: got to run the ball more. We would love to

234
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 5: run the ball more, try to get thirty runs in,

235
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 5: but also just being effective with the passing game, getting

236
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 5: the ball out quick, getting CJ on the edge to

237
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 5: deliver some passes, and the guys have done a really

238
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 5: good job of that all week.

239
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: You need your rookie pass catchers to step up, and

240
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: I imagine at this point of the year there are

241
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: no rookies anymore.

242
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 5: Right, Rookies they know the flow of things, they know

243
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 5: the schedules, they know how we operate in game. It's

244
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 5: just a matter of man, I know these guys will

245
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 5: make some plays. Higgins knows the way they worked all week.

246
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 5: I know they'll make plays in this game. And I'm

247
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 5: excited to see them just get more opportunities.

248
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: What about blocking against this forty nine er front giving

249
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: CJ some time.

250
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, similar front that we have, so our guys, our

251
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 5: offense have went against this front multiple times. Just gonna

252
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 5: be a matter of really outworking them, right, They're gonna

253
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 5: be tough, they're gonna be They're gonna play with great effort,

254
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 5: They're gonna finish. We gotta outwork then we gotta finish

255
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 5: in the pocket to make sure we give CJ enough

256
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 5: time when we are taking some shots.

257
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: You've talked a lot about McCaffrey, but they can hurt

258
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: teams in a lot of different ways. What about their attack, Yeah,

259
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: what their attack is.

260
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 7: They're very disciplined in their attack.

261
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 5: They're gonna and mac jones done a good job of

262
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 5: just going through the process, being deliberate of going to

263
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 5: where the play calls for him to go. And if

264
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 5: that guy's open, he's getting the ball. Really doesn't matter

265
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 5: of what which player it is there.

266
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 7: We just have to cover everybody.

267
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 5: We have to cover the width of the field understanding

268
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 5: that the ball will come out quick. Got to play

269
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 5: with great eye discipline, and we have to finish on

270
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 5: the football.

271
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: On defense, you can say this about a lot of games,

272
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: but this one strikes me as a real field position

273
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: kind of game, coach, what about the kicking game?

274
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 7: It's huge.

275
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 5: Their special teams unit is a solid unit. I feel

276
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 5: like this is the week for us on special teams,

277
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 5: like we have to make an impact, pay impact play

278
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 5: to change the game.

279
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 7: And our guys are are.

280
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 5: They worked hard all week, they prepare hard all week,

281
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 5: and I know they're ready for the moment.

282
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: All right, coach, thanks Love for joining us.

283
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 7: Thanks Mark.

284
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 2: Great stuff there with Mark and the headball coach Demiko.

285
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: Ryan's one of our favorites who's been a studio with

286
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: us and really made a ton of plays the last

287
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: few weeks. In fact, I've made a claim that I

288
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: think he might be our third best defensive liignement playing

289
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: that way is Tommy Togi. I he caught up with

290
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: ABC's own Greg Bailey right here.

291
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 8: I mean, obviously, look the record not what anybody wants

292
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 8: you to be right now, We understand that. How do

293
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 8: you guys kind of deal with that mentally and forge

294
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 8: forward to prepare for the forty nine ers.

295
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 4: I think, you know, just look within, you know, we

296
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 4: can't divide as a team. We gotta come together, you know,

297
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 4: get the thing six that we need to get fixed

298
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 4: and just move forward to take it week by week

299
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 4: and you know, looking forward to this week and get

300
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 4: back on track.

301
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 8: San Francisco starts with Christian McCaffrey. Man, how aware do

302
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 8: you have to be where he is at every minute?

303
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 8: And how much of a team effort everybody is it

304
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 8: to try to slow him down?

305
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 4: You know, he's a very good player, man, and I

306
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 4: think everyone knows that across the league, and so you know,

307
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 4: going against him, he definitely one guy we're keen on.

308
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 4: So every time he touches the ball, we gotta be

309
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 4: a swarmer to him. You know, eleven guys to get

310
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 4: to him, and you know we're gonna be aware of

311
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 4: where he's at on the field.

312
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 8: Top screen busters in the NFL. We start with you, man,

313
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 8: you do a great job against the screen game.

314
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: Man.

315
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 3: Can you chase him down if.

316
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 7: You have to?

317
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna give my best effort.

318
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 5: Man.

319
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 4: I know he's very quick, so you know, get my

320
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 4: chance on the screen.

321
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 9: If I read it right, I'm gonna get a chance.

322
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 8: And you read it awfully, well, what are the things

323
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 8: you see that tells you this is a screen pass?

324
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 8: Got to turn and run?

325
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 7: Just kind of seeing what the on line gives me.

326
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 4: You know, they like to usually try to get out

327
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 4: quicker on the screen, so you know, just kind of

328
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 4: see read them and see what they do, and then

329
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 4: that's how I kind of get to it.

330
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 8: The other challenges they have offensively, there are multiple mac

331
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 8: Jones is playing at a high level. What are the

332
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 8: challenges you see outside of McCaffrey for the Niners.

333
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 4: You know, they're playing very good ball right now, and

334
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 4: you know they got good weapons on the outside. I

335
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 4: think mac Jones is playing at a high level right now, getting.

336
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: The ball out quick.

337
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: So I think we just got to do play our game,

338
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 4: do what we need to do as a defense, and

339
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 4: I think we will have a good chance.

340
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 8: You guys have done a lot of great things yourselves defensively.

341
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 8: What are some of the things that you can build

342
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 8: on going forward for the rest of the season.

343
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 4: Just what we put on tape previously, you know, last

344
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 4: last game, and what we put on tape all year.

345
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 4: I think as long as we keep doing that and

346
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 4: keep increasing, you know, guys, keep flying around, keep doing

347
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 4: what we need to do, enhancing each week. And I

348
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 4: think as a defense as a whole, I think we're

349
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 4: just getting We're just getting started.

350
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 8: Honestly, two things stand out when I watch you play, man,

351
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 8: You play with incredible effort, and it looks like you're

352
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 8: having a blast playing football.

353
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: Man.

354
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 7: Where does that come from?

355
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 6: Just how I grew up?

356
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: Man?

357
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 4: You know, family, always hearing me on, having that support

358
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 4: of my faith in God. You know, always blessing to

359
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 4: be doing this what I do, coming with gratitude each

360
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 4: and every day, you know, just a blessing just being

361
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 4: in this building, being in the NFL. So can't take

362
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 4: it for granted at all.

363
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 8: And why is that a nice fit for what Demiico's

364
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 8: building here?

365
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 4: I think you know, he cherishes the hard work. I

366
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 4: think that's one thing he always keys on, and that's

367
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 4: right up my alley. You know, I'm always gonna put

368
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 4: in the hard work and always chase to keep keep

369
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 4: getting better and better each week.

370
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 8: So many of your teammates on d line tell us

371
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 8: we want to set the tone. It starts with a

372
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 8: defensive line. What kind of tone can you set against

373
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 8: San Francisco?

374
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 4: I think we just just got to play our game,

375
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 4: you know, be physical and attack. You know they want

376
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 4: to run the ball, and so I think that's one

377
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 4: thing we got to do is stop the run. So

378
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 4: that's what we're gonna try to do us come Sunday.

379
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 7: It's great talking with you, man, I appreciate you.

380
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: Thank you all right, awesome stuff.

381
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: But now it's time to really dive deep into this

382
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: matchup with the San Francisco forty nine ers.

383
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: And the Texans two and four? How did that happen?

384
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: Don't remind me the forty nine ers are five and two.

385
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: They are a good football team coming in here, Johnny Harris,

386
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: this is a team. When you look at some of

387
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: the numbers, you don't really know how they're doing it.

388
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: When you look at the injuries, it's almost inexplicable. Yet

389
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: they find a way to win. Meanwhile, the Texans have

390
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: to get back on the winning track after losing to

391
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: Seattle Monday night.

392
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: There's a bit of envy watching the Niners in that sense, Mark,

393
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: because especially defensively, you go down to starting line, if

394
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: you go down the backups, you look at it and

395
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: go for many people. Now, you know me, I studied

396
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: a lot of these guys in the draft, and I'm like, oh,

397
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: I like that guy, but he was undrafted. Like Tatum

398
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: Musun linebacker played behind Jared Vers and Braden Fisk at

399
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 2: forlis State and I liked him coming out of college.

400
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 3: But undrafted.

401
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: Guy's undrafted, but he's got to step in for Fred Warner. Well,

402
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: everybody knows Fred, everybody knows Nick Bosa, but those two

403
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 2: guys are out so defensively in particular, and names you

404
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 2: don't know. You have no idea who some of these

405
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 2: guys are. And yet they shut down.

406
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 3: Atlanta, hold Atlanta to ten points.

407
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: If they wouldn't have turned a ball over all day

408
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 2: against Jacksonville, they probably would have won that game. And

409
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: it was the game I believe they ended up losing Fred,

410
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: but either way they no, no, they lost them in

411
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 2: Tampay game.

412
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: Either way.

413
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 2: They play so well together defensively. And I used I

414
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: used to use this term a job Truman. I talk

415
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: the hole is greater than some of its parts. Like

416
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: you look at each part individually, you're like, let's say, well,

417
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 2: that guy's not at all pro, that guy's not a

418
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: pro bowler. But then you watch it play together and

419
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, I get it. That's the magic of

420
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 2: that team that we're facing on Sunday.

421
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 1: I think they're good at it because they're used to it,

422
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: Like me hitting my golf ball into the rough. Okay,

423
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: I get better out of the rough because I have

424
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: so much practice doing it. And this is the number

425
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: one defense in the league that Houston Texans taking on,

426
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: the number one passing all. So let's get into it.

427
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: Things to look out for. I've got three of them here,

428
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: and number one is Christian McCaffrey. And I know you

429
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: agree with me. And if the question is, well, you're

430
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: more worried about his running or is receiving, the answer

431
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: is yes, because he does it all so well.

432
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 2: His fifty three receptions on the year, so let me

433
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: do the math for you, that's a little over seven

434
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: per game seven as a running back. Now, a little

435
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 2: over seven per game puts him at if he played

436
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: all seventeen games, about one hundred and twenty receptions. That's

437
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 2: crazy as a running back. And I remember a twenty

438
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 2: nineteen when we played them. Now it's six years ago,

439
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: but it holds true. He came in here with Carolina.

440
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: Carolina doesn't have a dude at all other than him.

441
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: He had thirty seven touches against us, made a tremendous

442
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: diving catch that kept the drive alive. He was fantastic

443
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: I tell people all the time when they asked me

444
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 2: about you know, great players we've seen and all that

445
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 2: over the years. It was like Christian McCaffrey's performance twenty nineteen.

446
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: It was a believable performance.

447
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 2: I mean, Mile Allen started at quarter Kyle Allen, Kyle

448
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 2: Allen against a good defense of Texas had in twenty

449
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: nineteen and McCaffrey went nuts. And so when you said

450
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: it best as a runner or receiver, yes, boom. He

451
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 2: is so skilled in this run game, in this run scheme,

452
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 2: he is so skilled as a wide receiver. They find

453
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: so many different ways to get him the football that

454
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: it's just a challenge. Where does it. You got to

455
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: find him first. Backfield, slot, out wide, You got to

456
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 2: find him first. And then I say this with the

457
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 2: utmost respect, every time he touches the ball, you have.

458
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 3: To hit him and make him feel this defense.

459
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: Defense has to make him feel it every time he

460
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 2: touches it. He ain't gonna shy away from it, but

461
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 2: just to make him feel every touch that maybe by

462
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 2: thirty second touch or thirty third touch, it eventually pays

463
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 2: off and he doesn't pick up the first down when

464
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: maybe he would have these a little fresher.

465
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: So he is.

466
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 2: I can't say enough good things about Ristophercaffrey and I

467
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 2: hate see him.

468
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: On pays for almost four hundred touches, if not more,

469
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: So we'll see how that works out. I've got another one.

470
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: It's a question, can you run the football, Houston Texans?

471
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: You gotta do it. This defense statistically middle of the packet,

472
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: a lot of things not great against the run, not

473
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: terrible at all, But can you run the football the

474
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: way you need to to matriculate down the field and

475
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: score more than you have and your four losses four touchdowns,

476
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: that's just not gonna get it done.

477
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: The I'm gonna say something kind of strange, but there's

478
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 2: a very fine line between being patient and decisive, and

479
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: we just talked about McCaffrey.

480
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 3: He understands that.

481
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 2: And the one thing I love about watching him run

482
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 2: is he knows when to be, he knows when to go,

483
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: and he knows when to let things breathe.

484
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 3: And there's that fine line there.

485
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: I think for this offense we're kind of getting caught in.

486
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 3: There are times where we're too patient when we need.

487
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 2: To hit it, and I think we're hitting it when

488
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 2: we maybe need to be a little bit more patient.

489
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 2: We've got to find that balance amongst our running backs.

490
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 2: There were a couple of times where against Seattle, where

491
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 2: duo was there, you got to hit it. You gotta go,

492
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: you gotta be decisive. But there are also times where

493
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: you got to let things breathe a little bit. That

494
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 2: sometimes that backside cut off of his own stretch play

495
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: where McCaffrey has done well, that we have to do

496
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: a little bit better. But I think we can run

497
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 2: the ball a little bit better. I think it's in

498
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 2: them to run the ball a little bit better. But

499
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 2: it's it's like a simpity mark, you know music. It's

500
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: like it's like a jam band.

501
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 10: You know.

502
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: Everybody can be playing his or her own sort of part,

503
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 2: but the best ones are the ones that do it

504
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 2: in harmony. And that the offensive line and their blocks

505
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: when they pop off to a linebacker, when a full

506
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,239
Speaker 2: back can step up and make a block, and then

507
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: when the running back makes cut. That has to work

508
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 2: in unison. And it was a little disjointed the other

509
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 2: night against Seattle. Hopefully, hopefully we're able to find it

510
00:21:59,119 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 2: against nineers.

511
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: It things that much easier for the passing game. CJ. Straud.

512
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: Remember he's just a game removed from AFC Offensive Player

513
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: of the Week. He's got to get back to that level.

514
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: I've got another one for you, turnovers. Detexans are fifth

515
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: in the league in takeaways. The forty nine ers are

516
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: fifth from last in giveaways. They give the ball away.

517
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: That's why the numbers don't really make sense when you

518
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: look at their record. They've turned the ball over. You've

519
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: got to get them to cough up the rocket at

520
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: RG Stadium.

521
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: And that's not easy with that particular team. It can happen,

522
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: but it doesn't happen often. But you got to attack

523
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 2: the ball. Dimiko talks about that all the time. Both

524
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: sides of the ball attack the ball, go get it,

525
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 2: knock it out, pluck it on.

526
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 3: Throws down a field. They take care of the ball.

527
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: Mac has been taking a better care of the ball

528
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: than brock Perty was, and he brought through four interceptions

529
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 2: against Jacksonville. So I think attacking the ball, if you

530
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 2: can get it twice, can get it twice. If you

531
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: can get it twice, two extra possessions for your offense,

532
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 2: I think it'll be a better output than in Seattle,

533
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 2: where you had four times. You well three times you

534
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 2: gave it back to your offense. One time you'll put

535
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 2: seven up on the board. I think with a couple

536
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 2: of turnovers, if you can be plus two. And that's

537
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 2: the one thing about the Niners which is kind of odd.

538
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 2: They they're minus five and turnover margin, which you think. Man,

539
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 2: they do take care of the ball, but they had

540
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 2: that moment against Jacksonville where they had four interceptions and

541
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: they may have but a fumble two That was kind

542
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 2: of their bad game. Typically take care of the ball,

543
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 2: especially twenty three CMC will take care of it. So

544
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: you got to do whatever possible to try and punch

545
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: it out, pull it out, strip it out.

546
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 3: MJ.

547
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 2: KAMARTI did a great job stripping it out on Royal

548
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 2: the other night. So you've got to attack the football

549
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 2: for sixty minutes.

550
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: Mattress Firm Sleeper of the Game. Mattress Firm, the official

551
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: sleep partner of the Houston Texans. Who do you have?

552
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 3: Tommy Togii?

553
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I like this, Yeah, Tommy Togii the other night

554
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 2: two TFLs not he had a bat down.

555
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 3: I don't want to say stuffed the stat sheet.

556
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: But it's getting to a point where you want Tommy

557
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 2: Toga on the field, yep, almost as much as any

558
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 2: of the other defensive linemen. You want him on the field,

559
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: you need him on the field. He's hot, He's really hot.

560
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: He's playing very, very well and against a zone stretch

561
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 2: kind of team.

562
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 3: It was interesting talking.

563
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 2: To Bill Davis, and this is evident when you watch

564
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: the Niners as well. He reiterated they do everything in

565
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: the run game, but their zone stretch is kind of

566
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: what they're known for. Tommy's speed of Jilly quickness and

567
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: power can help a lot against an offensive line.

568
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 3: It's good, not great, but good.

569
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: And Tommy, I think his ability to penetrate create problems,

570
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 2: make McCaffrey have to make a running decision before he's ready.

571
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 2: If you can disrupt that, even get him to slow

572
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 2: his feet a little bit, that's a win. But Tommy

573
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 2: has been so productive lately that you got to have

574
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 2: him on the field. He's I mean, we saw preseason

575
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: and you and I talked about it. Tommy Togi is

576
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 2: one of the best players of the preseason. Then he's

577
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 2: an active for the first two weeks as you're trying

578
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 2: to kind of feel things out, and they're like, we

579
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: gotta get this do it on the field. Yeah, it

580
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: goes to Jacksonville and starts making plays weekend and week out.

581
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 2: And now he's gotten to a point where if Tommy

582
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 2: Togia were injured out of the game, we would feel

583
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 2: it and I don't want that to happen.

584
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 3: He's got to be in the game.

585
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: Okay. With the injury situation at receiver, Dalton Schultz needs

586
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: a big game again. He had a big one on

587
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: Monday night. But I'm gonna go x here as the sleeper,

588
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: Xavier Hutchinson veteran receiver, and with that injury situation, he's

589
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: got to step up and they got to look to

590
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: him to help make plays for this offense which needs

591
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 1: playmakers as pass catchers with everything they're going through right now.

592
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: So that is your game preview Texans and forty nine

593
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: Ers at OURG Stadium Sunday at noon, reppin h Town Day.

594
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: Let's go Texans, all right?

595
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: That was fun coming up next to another fun one,

596
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 2: Bill Davis linebackers coach. We could talk to him for

597
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 2: an hour. We only got a few minutes, but it

598
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: was well well worth it. That's coming up next on

599
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: Texans All Access.

600
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 3: What's Up and everybody.

601
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: Welcome back to this Friday edition that Texans All Access

602
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: from Monday Texans Radio Studio. John Harris, your host Football

603
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: and Saw the reporter for your Houston Texans, and we

604
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 2: get an opportunity each week to catch up with one

605
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: of the great assistant coaches for the Houston Texans. And

606
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, you got a lot of young guys,

607
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: younger guys on the staff, so when we get an

608
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 2: opportunity to catch up with I don't wanna call him

609
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: a graybeard, but a guy that's been around seeing some things.

610
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: Bill Davis is that guy that we want to talk to.

611
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 2: He is absolutely fantastic. Recall, he has great experience. He

612
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 2: can obviously talk about this year's team and some of

613
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 2: the things plaguing this year's team. He can talk about

614
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 2: them openly and does it really, really well. We had

615
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: a blast talking to Coach Davis. We've got to do

616
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: a full on, full show podcast in the offseason. But

617
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 2: here's Bill Davis, linebackers coach for your Houston Texans, with

618
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 2: Mark and myself.

619
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: Linebackers coach Bill Davis joining us in the Hundai Texans

620
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 1: Radio studio. Coach, how's it going good to see him.

621
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 9: It's going great.

622
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, here we go facing the San Francisco forty

623
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: nine Ers. It's an interesting team because they seem to

624
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: always have a lot of injuries yet always seem to

625
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: overcome that.

626
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 9: Your thoughts, well, I think it's the organization that we're

627
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 9: playing that is the forty nine ers, and I was

628
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 9: with them years ago with Mike Nolan. But the organization

629
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 9: that the York Family is running, and from the personnel

630
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 9: picking to the head coach to the position coaches, this

631
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 9: really is a complete organization. Not every organization is, and

632
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 9: they are so they pick players well, they only they

633
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 9: pick players well to fit the scheme, and then the

634
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 9: coaches use those players in a schematic way that plays

635
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 9: their strengths weaknesses. And that's part of how you can

636
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 9: have injuries and plug and play and still be playing

637
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 9: at a high level is because you need the whole

638
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 9: The whole organization is in line, and you can see that.

639
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 9: That's how they are. That's what they are.

640
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 2: Because we've seen some good running backs, Bucky Irving good

641
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 2: running back. We saw at the Buccaneers, Kyrin Williams Rams

642
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 2: good running back. But this dude on afternoon, Christian McCaffrey.

643
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: He's a different level. We were talking about this earlier.

644
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: He's got fifty three receptions, which I think would lead

645
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 2: a lot of teams in receptions. He is an all

646
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 2: round back if there ever was one. What do you

647
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 2: see when you watch Christian McCaffrey and how tough is

648
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 2: he to stop?

649
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 9: He's extremely challenging to stop. But every week were going

650
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,479
Speaker 9: to linebacker room and every Tuesday when we're giving him

651
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 9: the new roster that we're facing, they usually have a

652
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 9: pretty good running back the other team. They just have

653
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 9: different ways of that. They're good, they're talented. You play

654
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 9: Baltimore and you got Henry who's the big, strong runner,

655
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 9: right and everybody, oh boy, Christian McCaffrey is one of

656
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 9: the better athletes at running back, and he's the better

657
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 9: receiving running back. So you have to stop all of

658
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 9: it with Christian and offensively again, schematically, they give this

659
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 9: man touches. Eis either handed to him or they throw

660
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 9: it to him. But he is a special player in

661
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 9: space and that's where a challenge is getting your hands

662
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 9: on him when he's in space.

663
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: Coach, how's it been coaching this year's group? Starting from

664
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: training camp? Because a lot of guys to work with,

665
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: a lot of competition for playing time. How's it been

666
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: overall with your group?

667
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 9: It's an outstanding group. And the more competition for playing

668
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 9: time you have, the healthier the room is, because if

669
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 9: you play linebacker correctly, you aren't going to make every

670
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 9: game of the season. I really believe that if the

671
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 9: physicality that we demand you play with and the technique

672
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 9: and how you're running through people the human body at

673
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 9: eighteen games seven, it's hard to play the whole season.

674
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 9: So you need depth in your room and we have that.

675
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 9: And I'm really excited and it's been a joy to

676
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 9: work with this group that I have. I have no

677
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 9: fear of plugging any of them in and playing to

678
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 9: our standard.

679
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 2: Coach Ej has come over from Indianapolis's first year with us.

680
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 2: What do you see from Eja thus far this year?

681
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 9: The biggest thing with any linebacker new to our system

682
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 9: is the way we play linebacker. We have a little

683
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 9: bit different techniques that we ask over the linebackers, and

684
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 9: he's done a nice job transitioning into the way we

685
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 9: played linebacker and the calls that we have in this

686
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 9: defensive system. If you come from San Francisco to US

687
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 9: or the Jets or somebody like Atlanta. This coaching this system,

688
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 9: it's a little bit easier. But EJ came over and

689
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 9: he's learned our system and learned our way of playing linebacker,

690
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 9: and he's done a nice job of converting and we

691
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 9: try to use them in the things that he's doing well. Right,

692
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 9: So we have a little bit of a balance between

693
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 9: him and Henry, and those guys take different roles in

694
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 9: different calls, and we have a nice mix and they

695
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 9: stay fresh and they still contribute on special teams because

696
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 9: that's the other place that the linebacker room has to selling.

697
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 9: Our backups are starters. You either make the team as

698
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 9: a linebacker on special teams, or you make the team

699
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 9: better if you're a player on defense and can still

700
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 9: play teams, which Henry and e J are doing. That

701
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 9: makes the whole team better because we're stronger on special

702
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 9: teams because of the linebacker room.

703
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: Outside looking in, we make a big deal out of

704
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: the green dot. But I would imagine you coach them

705
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: all so they could potentially have the green dot and

706
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: make the calls, right, Don't they all have to know it?

707
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 9: It's challenging, ye, The green dot is a challenge. I

708
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 9: don't think it's a little bit under undervalue to wearing

709
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 9: that green dot. And here's the hard part of the

710
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 9: green dot is you are responsible for quarterback and the

711
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 9: defense and you're telling everybody the call, but yet you're

712
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 9: still hearing coaching points coming in to the helmets. So

713
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 9: when I was coordinating, you give the call and then

714
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 9: it's human nature to say, oh yeah and watch the

715
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 9: digw watch the taw, watch the shot, watch the screen

716
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 9: and before you think, oh man, I just told this

717
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 9: kid everything. But so there's a challenge there. But we

718
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 9: do a nice job of making the call and stopping

719
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 9: and then you have to communicate that to everybody. So

720
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 9: I've got a line of four deep that I'm very

721
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 9: confident with having the green dot and being able to

722
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 9: make the call and give it to everybody. And disease

723
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 9: is very special at it diseases you can unwind everything.

724
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 9: He gets everybody the right communication, and then the challenge

725
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 9: is getting everybody else what they need and then you

726
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 9: playing a good snap for you and what you need

727
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 9: there in line is a challenge. Well, yet the last second,

728
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 9: the left safety's asking me again what the call is now?

729
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 9: I gotta give it to them, and then I've got

730
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 9: to get my keys in my stands, in my alignment.

731
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,719
Speaker 9: So the green dot is is a challenge and Asese

732
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 9: does a great job. Henry does too, both of those guys.

733
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 2: Coach, I want to go through something that happened, and

734
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: it happened unfortunately in the loss, but it was fascinating

735
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 2: to us because you could see communication happening and it

736
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 2: led to an interception. I'm going to go back to

737
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 2: Week three against Jacksonville, and Jacksonville Trevor's puts it at

738
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage and then right before the ball

739
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 2: is about to snap, you could see a Zz and Jalen.

740
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 2: It looked like they had some late communication in that

741
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 2: and it looked like a confused Trevor.

742
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: Jalen gets the interception. We score next play and tie

743
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: the game.

744
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 2: Can you take us through kind of what that kind

745
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 2: of what was going on at that moment and how

746
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 2: Azaz was able to make a late, late, late check

747
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: like that and get it communicated to the right people.

748
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 9: So we talk about it and it really wasn't a

749
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 9: plan on that one. But if we ever have a

750
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 9: certain call and they check a disease does have in

751
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 9: his pocket to go to a base coverage call. And

752
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 9: basically all he did was change the look. They saw

753
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 9: our presentation, our alignment, and they checked out of their

754
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 9: play into another one. And then by these checking us

755
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 9: again now his read and it just he short circuited

756
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 9: on the read and it wasn't what he thought it

757
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 9: was going to be when he made his check, and

758
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 9: he threw under dress right to us. So those are

759
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 9: things and it's very challenging for us for us to

760
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 9: do that late.

761
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

762
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 9: So the downside for us is eight of them get

763
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 9: the new call and a couple don't, and then you're

764
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 9: playing one coverage by half of the defense. And there's

765
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 9: where we always come out of a law. You know,

766
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 9: you hear defense and say, oh, communication is terrible.

767
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 3: We did.

768
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 9: That's all that is is we didn't have eleven guys

769
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 9: playing the same call. So's that he took a gamble

770
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 9: and it paid.

771
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: Off for us. Coach, You went into the week, brought

772
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: party back Jones who knows and all are different. Yet

773
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: it's the system right that you have to get ready

774
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: for more than a particular player, or in addition to

775
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 1: a particular player, when you're.

776
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 9: Dealing with quarterbacks and you look at a quarterback roster,

777
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 9: you look at how similar their styles are, and their

778
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 9: two styles are identical. Right. They are good processors. They

779
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 9: run the system to your point, and there's no need

780
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 9: to change if you have Lamar Jackson backed up by

781
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 9: a guy that doesn't. Now you're stopping the quarterback run

782
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 9: and you're talking about some of the runs and plays

783
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 9: they do with them, and then the backup is different

784
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 9: than him. So now you have two kind of different

785
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 9: plans that you have to But this week, no matter

786
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 9: which starter we get, they are the system that the

787
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 9: system is what we have to and win are one

788
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 9: on ones against their talented playmakers.

789
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: Then coach the one area that I mean, we talk

790
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 2: about this all the time. We talked about Ky Shanhan,

791
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 2: the zone scheme, the zone scheme, the zone scheme. And

792
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 2: then you watch them the other night and you're like, oh,

793
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 2: they just ran a power play. That's not something that

794
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:01,959
Speaker 2: they normally do, that's not in their.

795
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 3: Quote unquote system. But they also do some things are

796
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 3: a little different kind of like that.

797
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 9: Now, yeah, they they've got they want to run the

798
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 9: ball and teams that want to run the ball usually

799
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 9: have all the runs in their in their toolbox, and uh,

800
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 9: Kyle has faced them because I was at Arizona for

801
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 9: a couple, you know, four years, and so we've gone

802
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 9: against Kyle a lot, and Demiico is there, so we're

803
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 9: all very familiar with each other and what they're doing.

804
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 9: So they have a very very good run attack that

805
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 9: has all the dimensions of it because they're committed to

806
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 9: the run, and then their passing game is really committed

807
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 9: to the play action passing game. So that's the system

808
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 9: that the Shannan's have had forever, and it's very efficient.

809
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 9: It's great football, is what it is. You get your

810
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 9: run and your play action and then you drop back

811
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 9: at the end and.

812
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 2: You got all in, all the trees and your branches

813
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,959
Speaker 2: coming off all that that started with Mike Shanahan and sure,

814
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 2: well Kyle's got this, and you know mcvay's got this,

815
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: and you know McDaniel's got this, And it's interesting how

816
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 2: all the trees and the branches have all gone off

817
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 2: of that original.

818
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 9: System, right. And then what great coaches do is you

819
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 9: have your system, the mother system, and then the branches.

820
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 9: But then what do the players that you have on

821
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 9: your offense at this team. If you move to the Dolphins,

822
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 9: what can they do? And then you have to kind

823
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 9: of take the pieces of the of the mother system

824
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 9: and say, we're going to use these pieces because this

825
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 9: is what our quarterback looks like and how he plays

826
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 9: because we just paid him in all this money. And

827
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 9: then what running back do we have? What does he

828
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 9: do best? Is he a stretch player? Is he a

829
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 9: power gap scheme player? So those are the things that

830
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 9: good coaches unwind as they take the core system and

831
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 9: kind of offshoot it.

832
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: Well, you've coached for I'm not going to give away

833
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: your age, but for a few years here coach no

834
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: exactly in the nineties you were with the Steelers and

835
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: then Dom Capers with Carolina. But you saw that system

836
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: develop obviously starting with Bill Walsh, but in the nineties

837
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 1: with Mike Shanahan the Broncos when they won those Super Bowls.

838
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: So what was your thought on the system as it

839
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 1: was evolving back then and what it's become now.

840
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 9: There was a time when this was the most dangerous

841
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 9: system because everybody's running it and the league really does copycat.

842
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 9: But when the Shanahans and Alex Gibbs and Kobiak and

843
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 9: those guys were all together. Brian Perry on that there

844
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 9: was a whole group that just grew this thing, and

845
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 9: then the talent, like I said earlier about san Franz,

846
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 9: they drafted the players that made the stretch run and

847
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 9: then the cutback and then the play action that comes

848
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 9: off of it. It really was it dominated for a

849
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 9: cup for a while, and then everybody, we adjust our techniques.

850
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 9: We want more five down front, and there's all kinds

851
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 9: of answers to what they're doing, but you they do

852
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 9: it so well that you've got to do answers. And

853
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 9: this is really a system the challenges your disciplined of

854
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 9: technique in the D line and the linebackers because it

855
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 9: looked so basic to start. It's just a stretch play

856
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 9: and the running back has got a great track and

857
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 9: then he finds the mistake. In a cutback world, if

858
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 9: he can grab the edge, he'll take it. But usually

859
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 9: you have the edge handled, which makes it cut back.

860
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 9: But now, which guy wasn't disciplined? Was it the five technique?

861
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 9: The three technique? The shade was at the backside backer,

862
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 9: and that's where this thing goes. And then once you

863
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 9: kind of get that feel, then they'll boot off of

864
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 9: it or they'll keep it in play action pass and

865
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 9: take a shot. So it's a very time tested quality

866
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 9: system that they run and have built.

867
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: Well more for you, How was it when you saw

868
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: Dom Capers when Carolina was here to practice with us.

869
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 9: He's meant everything to me. He's a second father. Dom

870
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 9: started with Dom and Pittsburgh in ninety one Bill Cowers

871
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 9: first year, he was a coordinator and I was his

872
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 9: quality control coach. I'd come from offense. I didn't know

873
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 9: anything about defense, and he threw me into the defensive room.

874
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 9: Coach Coward did and went the defensive dominan and Dom

875
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 9: gave me to Dick Lebow and the linebackers. So that defense,

876
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 9: it's the staff that I started on. Was Dick Lebow

877
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 9: in the secondary, Marvin Lewis was the linebacker coach. A

878
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 9: man by the name of Stephens who played in the

879
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 9: Iron Curtain for the Steelers was a d line coach

880
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 9: in the mitch and then coach Capers was the coordinator.

881
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 9: And then you had Bill Kawer, who was just a

882
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 9: great coordinator in Kansas City, came over got to that job.

883
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,919
Speaker 9: So I'm sitting in that room with these minds. Now,

884
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 9: I wish I knew more defense. At that time, I

885
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 9: had been all offense, coaching quarterbacks and receivers, and I

886
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 9: got my break in the NFL, and because I was

887
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 9: the offensive background, they put me on defense because my

888
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 9: job was to break down the opponent offenses and give

889
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 9: it to the defense. And then they taught me secondary play,

890
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 9: and then they moved me to marv and linebacker play.

891
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 9: But coach Capers is then I went to Carolina with him.

892
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 9: He's an outstanding human being, as you know, having them

893
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 9: been here, just you can't say enough good about Dom Capers.

894
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: Have you ever wanted to go back to the offensive side.

895
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 9: Early on in my career. I really tried. When we

896
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 9: left Pittsburgh and Dom got to Carolina job, I tried

897
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 9: hard to go over the offensive side because I really

898
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 9: enjoyed coaching quarterbacks and and that side of the ball.

899
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 9: But he said, you're too valuable over on defense of

900
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 9: what you know are defense and now the outside backers.

901
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 9: So he gave me at twenty four years old, he

902
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 9: gave me a position to coach. So I was like, okay,

903
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 9: this is this is an opportunity that I've got can't

904
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 9: pass up.

905
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: And defense is dead off. Defensive done. It worked out

906
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: very well. Coach, thanks left for joining us.

907
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 9: I still having me guess I appreciate it.

908
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 2: He's the best man. He is, like I said, been around,

909
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 2: he has seen some things. He has coached just the

910
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 2: litany of coaches. Just listen to the names of those

911
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,959
Speaker 2: coaches that he was coaching with. And the thing about

912
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 2: it is, when you're that young, you may not fully

913
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 2: and completely understand, but as you get older, you realize, Man,

914
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 2: I was twenty four and I had a position coaching job.

915
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 2: Holy smokes, this is some awesome stuff. And coach has

916
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 2: done some great work with the linebackers here. They got

917
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 2: to play a great game, as we talked about Christian

918
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 2: mccaf free man, they got to play a great game

919
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: on Sunday against the Niners and CMC twenty three.

920
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 3: That is a dude.

921
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 2: In the past game in the run game, dude got

922
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 2: fifty three receptions. He's thirty in the league in receptions.

923
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: I mean, that's ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous. All Right, when

924
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 2: we get back, we got to dive into this Texans

925
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: status report.

926
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 3: We'd love to do the injury report.

927
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 2: Some not so great stuff on here, but we'll get

928
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:31,439
Speaker 2: into that next right here on Texans All Access. Yes, sir,

Speaker 2: Energy Stadium for a new kickoff against the San Francisco

932
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 2: forty nine ers. Actually looking forward to a new kickoff.

933
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 2: I'm your host for this evening, John Harris, Football and

934
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 2: a sideline reporter. Gosh, how many years have I been

935
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 2: doing Friday Texans All Access? Twelve years, I guess. So

936
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 2: here we go. Let's rock and on segment three, finishing

937
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 2: up the last hour. Probably for the last eleven years,

938
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 2: we have done the injury slash status report, trying to

939
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 2: figure out who is in who is out. Every Friday

940
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 2: before a Sunday game, both teams have to declare who's out,

941
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 2: who's in, et cetera. So let's start with the Texans

942
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 2: because there are a couple of big outs.

943
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 3: But I think we.

944
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 2: Knew that those were gonna happen throughout the week. I

945
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 2: mean we kind of knew. Like Monday night, when Nico

946
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 2: Collins went down with the concussion. He was being evaluated

947
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 2: for a concussion. We were pretty much looking at the math.

948
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 2: And Mark and I talked about this during the week,

949
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 2: and we didn't talk about it much on the air

950
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 2: because I think it bore everybody. But there are five

951
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 2: steps that you've got to pass, essentially with a concussion

952
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 2: to be able to get back on a field for

953
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 2: a game, and they just weren't going to have enough

954
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 2: time to be able to do all of that if

955
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 2: Nico didn't practice by a certain day and he didn't

956
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 2: practice today, So we pretty much knew at that point, Okay,

957
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 2: he's gonna be out.

958
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 3: He is out.

959
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 2: No Nico Collins on Sunday, damn it. There will also

960
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 2: be no Christian Kirk. He has not practiced this week,

961
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 2: he didn't practice last Friday, missed the Seattle game. He

962
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 2: will miss this game against San Francisco. And Mark and

963
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 2: I have talked about this often. Those two guys you

964
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 2: needed on the field. Now Sunday comes the biggest test.

965
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 2: You don't have them. How does CJ adapt, How does

966
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 2: the offense adapt? How much do they get jayaln Noel,

967
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 2: Jayden Higgins involved? How much does X get involved? Is

968
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 2: a purely Cyclone's day. Jared Wayne, does he play a

969
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 2: role in all this at wide receivers. So there are

970
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 2: a lot of questions that we're gonna have to wait

971
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 2: till Sunday to see answered. Now, my gut tells me

972
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 2: that those guys are up for the challenge. It's just

973
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 2: the way those guys are kind of wound. And maybe

974
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 2: with no Nico, no Kirk, this is an opportunity for

975
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 2: CJ to again, like Baltimore, spread the ball out to

976
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 2: all of the weapons on the field. And the guy

977
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 2: I didn't mention, tight end Dalton Schultz, who was fantastic

978
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 2: last week nine catches, ninety eight yards and the second

979
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 2: highest total of his career of ninety eight yards.

980
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 3: His first highest or his highest was.

981
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 2: Against Tampa Bay in twenty twenty three at one hundred

982
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 2: and thirty yards on ten catches in a touchdown. So

983
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 2: they've got to come up big. Everybody's got to step

984
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 2: into some big, big shoes with no Nico, no Christian out. Now,

985
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 2: Elijah Hussey is out. He has been coming back from

986
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: a knee injury, but he's declared out even though he's

987
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 2: a full participant practice. They're trying to decide what to do.

988
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 2: He's in the twenty one day window, so we'll see

989
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 2: what Elijah Hussey two questionable one good news, one I

990
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 2: don't know. The good news is that Jalen Smith deal

991
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 2: with hamstring. Jalen was a full participant in practice on Thursday,

992
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 2: full participant on Friday. We're moving in the right direction

993
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 2: with the rookie corner out of USC Jalen Smith. He

994
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 2: still listens as questionable, but man, it would be great,

995
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 2: great to have him back against the Niners. The other

996
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 2: questionable is Denico Autrey. Now this may just be and

997
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 2: I want to call it a game, but this just

998
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 2: may be the situation that we deal with every week.

999
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 2: With Deniko a little bit older. Obviously, he doesn't play

1000
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 2: a ton of snaps. He played ten defensive snaps and

1001
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 2: a bunch of special teams snaps blocking field goals in particular,

1002
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 2: and it was well worth it. So even though he's questionable,

1003
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 2: he did not practice on Friday. Now that could be

1004
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 2: just kind of keeping him ready for Sunday. But Denico

1005
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 2: Autrey did not practice today. He is questionable. So Nico

1006
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 2: Christian out. Jalen Smith the rookie, Denico Autry, the grizzled

1007
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:58,240
Speaker 2: veteran questionable now for the forty nine ers, it's who

1008
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 2: it's it's not trom either. They have five players out,

1009
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 2: including quarterback Brock Purdy. Now I don't say that much

1010
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: shock in my voice because I think we thought I

1011
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 2: think we thought that mac Jones was gonna start anyway,

1012
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: so we were kind of prepping for mac Jones and

1013
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 2: Mack Jones will start. Brock Purty is out. Four others

1014
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 2: out Brock Purdy and mac Jones. Center Jake Brendle Brendell

1015
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 2: he went out of the game against Atlanta. Matt Hennessy

1016
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 2: won in the game. Former Falcon Hennessy more than likely

1017
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 2: will start. No Jake Brendel. Eachier Gross Matos defensive end.

1018
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 2: He is also out again. Bryce Huff got hurt in

1019
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 2: the game against Atlanta, another defensive end. He is out.

1020
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 2: Wide receiver Ricky Piersaw is in practice for a while

1021
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 2: with a kne injury. He is out. So those are

1022
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: your five guys out for the forty nine ers. Keep

1023
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 2: in mind Brandon Ayuk already out at receiver, so Piersall

1024
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 2: and Ayuk their top two weapons both out at wide receiver.

1025
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 3: Questionable.

1026
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 2: Spencer Wverford tackle offensive lineman dealing with the Knaves.

1027
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 3: The limited participant today practice.

1028
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 2: Luke Kifford hurt his hamstring former Titans linebacker in the

1029
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 2: game against the Falcons. He is questionable. And then a

1030
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 2: big one, Dimador Leonor deal with a quad injury. He

1031
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 2: is questionable. So they've got a number of guys, key guys.

1032
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 2: On top of Nick Bosa being out, Fred Warner being out,

1033
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 2: They've got a number of guys out of this one.

1034
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 2: But in Mac Jones obviously upon stout North Shore Kid,

1035
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna see him. Christian McCaffrey was out. He was

1036
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: getting a rest during the week, so is Trent Williams.

1037
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,720
Speaker 2: But they will have Juwelan Jennings. They will have Ernardo

1038
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 2: Green and Clia Davis also back at practice, so they're

1039
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 2: gonna be loaded ready to go, even without all the

1040
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 2: names we talked about. So no excuses, man. I know

1041
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 2: we don't have Nico and Christian. That hurts the receiver.

1042
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 2: They're without their top two receivers as well, and the

1043
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 2: started quarterback and the two All Pro defenders. So got

1044
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 2: to step up, make some big boy plays and get

1045
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 2: a win on Sunday. Come up, Jonathan Alexander from The

1046
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 2: Chronicle join us right here on Texans All Access. We

1047
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 2: got one hour down when I were left to go

1048
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 2: on a beautiful Friday evening wherever you are, Appreciate you

1049
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 2: being with me. John Harris Football on All Southern Reporter

1050
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 2: for your Houston Texans, Thank you so very much. And

1051
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 2: a guy that joins us each and every Friday is

1052
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 2: Jonathan Alexander from the Houston Chronicle.

1053
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 3: Let's hit it right here.

1054
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: Jonathan Alexander joins us from the Houston Chronicle. Okay, Jonathan,

1055
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: times are tough for the Texans, no doubt taking on

1056
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine Ers. What's your general read

1057
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: on this one going in?

1058
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think this is a game that they absolutely

1059
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 11: have to win. Like we were talking about the previous

1060
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 11: games being must win games, but this is genuinely a

1061
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 11: must win game. I think this is one of the

1062
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 11: more winnable games that they have on the schedule, just

1063
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 11: giving the forty nine ers injuries at multiple positions, you know,

1064
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 11: I think this team can give them some problems because

1065
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 11: they are very well coached. Robert Silas defenses have given

1066
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 11: the Texans offenses problems, and of course Kyle Shanahan is

1067
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 11: one of the better offensive minds in the entire NFL.

1068
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 11: But they're hurting at a lot of different positions. And

1069
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 11: this is a game that the Texans have to win

1070
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 11: because their next six games after this game, the majority

1071
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:22,760
Speaker 11: of them against playoff teams.

1072
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, and good good football teams, not just playoff teams

1073
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,280
Speaker 2: sometimes playoff team. These are good football teams with good defense.

1074
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 2: That's loving and obviously that's something that for the Texans

1075
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 2: offense that they've got to do a better job with. Obviously,

1076
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 2: Monday night not the best effort on the offense and

1077
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:41,320
Speaker 2: the best result.

1078
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: Jonathan, what do you.

1079
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 2: Do offensively going forward? How do you make some changes?

1080
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 2: Do you become a team that throws? It throws a

1081
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 2: little more than it runs. It go back to really

1082
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 2: kind of pounding the run game. How do you feel

1083
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 2: like this offense or how you'd like to see this

1084
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 2: offense go forward?

1085
00:49:59,320 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1086
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 11: I thought that Texans' problems against the Seahawks was probably

1087
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 11: one of the most collective issues all season.

1088
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 6: The run game was inefficient.

1089
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 7: C J.

1090
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 11: Stroud missed a number of throws, They committed ten penalties

1091
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 11: as a team like it was a real collective effort.

1092
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 11: So I think they have to improve. Everybody has a

1093
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 11: look in the mirror Nikkolee has to figure out what

1094
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 11: his better play calls, what are his tendencies that he's showing.

1095
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 11: C Stroud has to make better throws. The offensive line

1096
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,919
Speaker 11: has to protect him a lot better. The running game

1097
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 11: has to be more efficient. There's a lot that has

1098
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 11: to happen. I also think with Nico out, it's going

1099
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 11: to be tough. And I think at some point before

1100
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 11: the trade deadline, they should make a trade to improve

1101
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 11: this team if they feel they still have the ability

1102
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 11: to make the playoffs. And they should feel that way,

1103
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 11: so I think they have to upgrade the roster at

1104
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 11: a couple of different areas.

1105
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 1: Alright, So let's say they find a way to carve

1106
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: out of victory, but it's not a pretty one. I'll

1107
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: put out of the air quotes. But look, I'll take

1108
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: any kind of win at this point. But to your

1109
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: point about maybe needing to add to the team, where

1110
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: would you add, what position group would you look to fortify?

1111
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 1: Because we don't know how long Niko and Kirk are

1112
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: going to be out, really and with Kirk this is

1113
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: the second time with the hamstring repeating itself. Offensive line

1114
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: might be one. I don't know, what are your thoughts.

1115
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 11: So I would say wide receiver, but that's gonna be

1116
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 11: difficult to add, you know. I think you're gonna have

1117
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 11: to give up a lot to get a wide receiver,

1118
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 11: so I think you have to kind of be satisfied

1119
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 11: with what you have there.

1120
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 6: But I do think they can upgrade at running back

1121
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 6: at guard.

1122
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 11: There are a few guys out there, notably Breese Hall,

1123
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 11: who I think is a young guy who has shown

1124
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 11: in the past that he can be a good runner.

1125
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:43,280
Speaker 11: And with the uncertainty of Joe Mixon, I think let's

1126
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 11: just say for some reason Joe Maxon can't play at

1127
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 11: the start of next season. I think if you trade

1128
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 11: for Bristol and you resign him, you have the ability

1129
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 11: to run him and what he marks off together and

1130
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 11: the guard. Obviously they're not pleased with Juice Scrugs and

1131
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 11: Thomasin's play, and I think if they're not that confident

1132
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 11: either that they can play a whole game, then I

1133
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 11: think they need to find an upgrade because that is

1134
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 11: a position that has plagued them for the better part

1135
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 11: of the three seasons.

1136
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 2: So now it's the forty nine ers, So I'm just

1137
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 2: gonna say you take it where you want to go

1138
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 2: mac Jones or Brock Purty. Now we don't notice status

1139
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 2: of Brock. It looks like it's been kind of reported

1140
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,720
Speaker 2: in numerous ways. That doesn't look like he's gonna play.

1141
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 2: But mac Jones is two and one. You know, I

1142
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 2: don't want to I don't want to dirty up the question.

1143
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 2: Mac Jones are Brock Party, Take it where you want

1144
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 2: to go with it.

1145
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 11: You know, this is difficult for me. I think rock

1146
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 11: Party could be a little bit rusty if he would

1147
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 11: have played. But at the same time, I do think

1148
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 11: the Texans would have an advantage over mac Jones. He

1149
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 11: does not run much, pretty slow, has a tendency to

1150
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 11: commit turnovers. He's not a guy who will beat you

1151
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 11: deep much. And I think all of those things play

1152
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 11: into the Texans' hands, so they could give him problems.

1153
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 6: But I think think.

1154
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 11: Brock Party could be a little RESI I think whoever

1155
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 11: the Texans play, I think if they play their game,

1156
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 11: they're going to have They're going to have a good

1157
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 11: game against those quarterbacks. The problem and the issue is

1158
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,879
Speaker 11: Christian McCaffrey. He can do everything, and he can wreck

1159
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 11: a game, and the forty nine ers rely on him

1160
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 11: a lot, so.

1161
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,479
Speaker 1: I do some talk shows throughout the week. You do them,

1162
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,879
Speaker 1: Johnny does them. I've been on a couple of San

1163
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: Francisco appearances and asked about Robert Stala having worked here

1164
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: briefly and significantly though, because it was the start of

1165
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: his career or among the starting places. But I thought,

1166
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: my take is, I thought he got screwed in New York.

1167
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,720
Speaker 1: I thought he deserved more of an opportunity there, because

1168
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 1: now winning seven games with the Jets looks like a

1169
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: super Bowl championship comparatively. And I love it, Aaron Glenn,

1170
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: and I'm glad he has a job, and it's just

1171
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: a tough go there. This has nothing to do with him.

1172
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: It's all about Robert deserving a better shot there.

1173
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 6: Your thoughts, no, I agree.

1174
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 11: I thought what he did with that defense, it was

1175
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 11: one of the top defenses in the league, regardless of

1176
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 11: the injuries that they suffered throughout his time there. And

1177
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 11: I thought that a lot of people felt like he

1178
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 11: was a leader. I think the New York market can

1179
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 11: be difficult to navigate. I think that can weigh on

1180
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 11: a lot of coaches, and I think they made mistakes,

1181
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 11: particularly in how they drafted, and that's not necessarily Robert

1182
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 11: Salad's fault drafting Zach Wilson really set that team back

1183
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 11: a while, and they got Aaron Rodgers, But I thought

1184
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 11: Aaron Rodgers was coming off that significant injury, that Achilles injury,

1185
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 11: and he needed an extra year to get back to

1186
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 11: the form, And even now, I still don't think he's

1187
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 11: one of the better quarterbacks in the league right now.

1188
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 11: So I thought Robert sala got the short end of

1189
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:46,840
Speaker 11: the stick, took a lot of the blame because he

1190
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 11: was the face of the franchise. And yeah, I thought

1191
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 11: he got a raw end of the deal. But he'll

1192
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 11: get ahead coaching opportunity pretty soon.

1193
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,240
Speaker 1: All right, So you think so that was my next question.

1194
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 1: If they have a good year with all the injuries

1195
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 1: they've had, does he get another.

1196
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, if they sneak into the playoffs, you call this

1197
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 11: one of the better coaching efforts in recent history because

1198
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:10,319
Speaker 11: of how many injuries. Their two best defensive players, two

1199
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 11: of the best players in the entire NFL are out,

1200
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 11: you know, their quarterback, their second but the third best

1201
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 11: offensive player is out, one of their top receivers is out.

1202
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 11: So if they somehow sneak into the playoffs, you know,

1203
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 11: I think Robert Silow would have deserved a lot of

1204
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 11: that credit and should get ahead at coaching opportunity somewhere.

1205
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,280
Speaker 2: So I remember in twenty nineteen we played Caroline Panthers.

1206
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 2: Caroline Panthers were not good. We played him here, Kyle

1207
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 2: Anmall's quarterback for the Panthers that they read, just come

1208
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 2: off a win against the Los Angeles Chargers.

1209
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: We're going to three and one. It's just a matter

1210
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: of time.

1211
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 2: And then Christian McCaffrey had one of the greatest single

1212
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 2: performances I've seen from a running back not named Derrick

1213
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 2: Henry in this building. And when you see him, you

1214
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 2: know he's not a big guy. I shouldn't say he's

1215
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 2: a shorter guy. He's a stout guy. And I was like,

1216
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 2: he can't take the touches. The week before where he

1217
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 2: played US, he had twenty he had twenty seven touches

1218
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 2: for one hundred and eighty eight yards.

1219
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: He's like, he can't. They're not gonna do that again against.

1220
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:11,919
Speaker 2: Us in at twenty nineteen game, twenty seven rushes, ten receptions,

1221
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 2: thirty seven touches.

1222
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: Oh well, they're not going to do that the next week.

1223
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 2: The next week he had nineteen carries for one hundred

1224
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 2: and seventy six yards and six receptions. This guy can

1225
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 2: hand And I bring it up because the other night

1226
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 2: against Atlanta he had twenty four attempts, seven receptions. He

1227
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 2: had thirty one touches and Kashanahan talked about, Oh, he

1228
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 2: was gassed. He was gassed, and you gotta be thinking, Okay,

1229
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:36,840
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey can't.

1230
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 1: Keep this up. But listen to this.

1231
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 2: He's had nine These are the game's receptions nine, six, ten, six, eight, seven,

1232
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 2: and seven in addition to one to three games of

1233
00:56:55,680 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 2: twenty plus carries, three other games of seventeen carries. So

1234
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 2: Christian maccafpery is fantastic. But can he take the punishment

1235
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 2: weekend and weak out like this?

1236
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: Jonathan?

1237
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 11: I think he can do it for a season, Like

1238
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 11: I covered him for two years. He takes amazing care

1239
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 11: of his body. He's well conditioned, he likes to get

1240
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 11: the football. He is upset when media members ask should

1241
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 11: they lighten his load? Like that makes him upset more

1242
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 11: than anything. But we've seen throughout his career. After a

1243
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 11: season where he touches the ball so many times, he

1244
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 11: tends to get hurt because he's not a robot. He

1245
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,439
Speaker 11: is human, even though he takes care of his ball

1246
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 11: but body. But he can last an entire year getting

1247
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,919
Speaker 11: the ball and in order amount of times. And he's

1248
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 11: that good. And like you were throwing out his stats,

1249
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 11: he might be better as a receiver out of the

1250
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 11: backfield than he is a runner. Like he is so

1251
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 11: good him out in space is when he's at his best,

1252
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 11: and he's going to be the primary focal point for

1253
00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 11: this defense.

1254
00:57:58,840 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 3: He has fifty three.

1255
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: That's crazy. He has fifty three receptions in seven games. Yeah, Yeah,

1256
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: that's insane. I mean it's all they got in some cases. Yeah,

1257
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: I mean not Kittle's healthy again, but the injuries have

1258
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: been voluminous for that. Looking around the league a little

1259
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: bit more here, Jonathan Alexander from The Chronicle joining us.

1260
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: Is there a better story overall? And maybe there is,

1261
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: but I just want you to comment on the Joe

1262
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,479
Speaker 1: Flacco story because it really is something that he goes

1263
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: within the division to the Bengals, lights it up a

1264
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: week ago and he's got the Jets this week at home.

1265
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 1: Ouch for the Jets, but good for Flecco.

1266
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, he has another opportunity to have a good game.

1267
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: You know.

1268
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 11: Joe Flacco, you know, is really adaptable. You know, I

1269
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 11: look back at that, was it the Browns year where

1270
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 11: he had that really good year two years ago? Yeah,

1271
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 11: I mean, so, he obviously has that ability when he

1272
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 11: has the right pieces around him. And he has great

1273
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 11: pieces in Jamar Chase and t Higgins, so he has

1274
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 11: a heck of an arm. He's a smart quarterback, so

1275
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 11: he can be successfully. I still don't understand how the

1276
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 11: Browns gave him away to a division team, but that's

1277
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 11: neither here nor there. But yeah, it's a really interesting

1278
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 11: story for Joe Flack on his success.

1279
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 2: Jonathan, You've not you know, said, oh, the cults are

1280
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 2: fake or fhu gazy. I think that was me and

1281
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 2: probably Mark at some point, and so I guess for

1282
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 2: us the cults are real and it's painful.

1283
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 11: Your thoughts, Yeah, I just think, you know, I initially

1284
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 11: at the start of the year, I thought that Daniel

1285
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 11: Jones would fumble, but I think Shane Steichen has done

1286
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 11: a phenomenal job with him and has found a way

1287
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 11: to limit the mistakes that he's made and really focus

1288
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 11: on what makes that team go. And what makes that

1289
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 11: team go is Jonathan Taylor and he is having an

1290
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 11: all pro type of season this year, and they've stayed

1291
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 11: healthy at most of their offensive positions, and they've dealt

1292
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 11: with injuries in the past. I thought, maybe, and now

1293
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 11: that I look back at it, maybe the reason why

1294
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 11: they struggled so much was because Anthony Rigison just wasn't

1295
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 11: good and wasn't ready. Not that he doesn't have ability

1296
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 11: in athleticism, but he just wasn't good and wasn't ready.

1297
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 6: And I think they're.

1298
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 11: Finding that and they're finding a way, and that's why

1299
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 11: they've been a good team this year.

1300
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: Yesterday, Johnny and I played a game called am I Crazy?

1301
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 1: And Johnny addressed it, So I want you to address

1302
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: it now. Am I crazy? When I say I wish

1303
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: the Texans were playing the Colts this week? We need that,

1304
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: we need to face a team that we hate and

1305
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: that's going to bring out whatever ire in us can

1306
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 1: take us to another performance on speaking in the third

1307
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 1: and well, no third person, yes, So anyway, your thoughts

1308
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: on that?

1309
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 6: No, I don't think you're crazy.

1310
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 11: I mean, if they played the Colds, obviously they'd be

1311
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 11: pumped up about winning that game. They always want to

1312
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 11: be the close and They've had the coast number in

1313
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 11: recent years, so I bet that game gives them a

1314
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 11: lot of confidence, especially in Nico Collins, who's gassed them

1315
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 11: plenty and plenty of times. So that would be a

1316
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 11: phenomenal game to play and get them on right track,

1317
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 11: and then they would have that psychological ability. We can

1318
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 11: be to six and one team, Colts go down, they increase,

1319
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 11: get closer. Yeah, I bet they do wish that this

1320
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:11,959
Speaker 11: game was on the schedule right now.

1321
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 2: Colts get the Titans this week. Yeah, Colts get the

1322
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 2: Titans this week. Can we play the Titans or four

1323
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 2: times in a row?

1324
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: That would be nice. I mean, the.

1325
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 2: Colt schedule couldn't have been any better. Yeah, And you

1326
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 2: know every NFL schedule is gonna honestly give you a

1327
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 2: break in some sense. But artists to start the year

1328
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 2: has been pretty tough. But now we get seven out

1329
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 2: of eleven at home and we gotta take it. We

1330
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 2: gotta take advantage of that with the next three weeks.

1331
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 2: But as de Miko said, focus on one at a

1332
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 2: time with the Niners coming up first. Jonathan, your thoughts

1333
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 2: on Russell Wilson v. Sean Payton via social media?

1334
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gotten very petty. I don't.

1335
01:01:50,240 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 11: I don't think I've ever seen Russell Wilson clapp back then.

1336
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think i've ember I could never remember

1337
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 1: him doing that.

1338
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 6: No, he's usually a level headed.

1339
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 11: But I think that just points to how bad that

1340
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 11: relationship was. I mean, if you think about it, I mean,

1341
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 11: it obviously was the right decision by Sean Payton, but

1342
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 11: it cost him a lot of money, a lot of

1343
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 11: deadcap space to get rid of Russell Wilson. But you know,

1344
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,479
Speaker 11: they im rased out of it in their playoff team

1345
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 11: and they're probably only gonna get better.

1346
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll talk about them next week. What do you

1347
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: have in the chronicle for us this week?

1348
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 11: This week I'll talk I talked with a couple of

1349
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 11: the rookie wide receivers, Jalen Noel and Jaden Higgins, and

1350
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 11: how they'll have to step up with Nico Collins being

1351
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 11: in concussion protocol.

1352
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 1: Sounds good, Jonathan, thanks a lot for joining.

1353
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 6: Us, Thanks for having me.

1354
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 3: All right, great stuff coming up next.

1355
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 2: Got a little surprise now, you guys know I like

1356
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 2: to do predictions straight up and against the spread each

1357
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 2: and every week.

1358
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:43,959
Speaker 3: Well, I decided to change course today.

1359
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 2: Instead of me picking straight up and against the spread

1360
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 2: for fun, it's gonna be Vandermir v vander kidd. Yes,

1361
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 2: this is going to be awesome and it comes up

1362
01:02:54,280 --> 01:03:00,439
Speaker 2: next to Texas All Access. Welcome back to that edition

1363
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 2: of Texans All Access from Monday, Texans Radio Studio. I'm

1364
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 2: your host, John Harris foot Painals sideline reporter for your

1365
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:14,440
Speaker 2: Houston Texans, and it's time for predictions, straight up and

1366
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 2: against the spread for fun.

1367
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 3: For fun.

1368
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 2: However, a curveball for you, a beautiful eighty five mile

1369
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 2: an hour sleeper. It is Vandermir, the Vandermir in predictions.

1370
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 2: It's the voice of Texas, Mark Vandomir against Luke Vandermir,

1371
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 2: his Mark Telga Son. It's time for predictions. Are the

1372
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 2: vander Meers ready? Oh yeah, we're ready. Okay, we rehearsed

1373
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 2: so much for this. Yes, exactly right. This is organic.

1374
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 2: This is the way it's supposed to be. Ok Okay,

1375
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 2: So this is this is how it goes. I will

1376
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 2: I'll give you the game, Okay, I'll give you the

1377
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 2: spread and you just tell me straight up. I think

1378
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 2: it's this against the spread. I think it's this. You

1379
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 2: got it, got it?

1380
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1381
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 7: Got it.

1382
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 2: Let's start with the game of the day in Cincinnati,

1383
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 2: as the oh to seven Jets are taking on the

1384
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 2: three and four Joe Flacco led Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals

1385
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 2: are favored by six and a half, almost a full touchdown,

1386
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 2: but not quite a touchdown.

1387
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: The Jets are taken on the Bengals.

1388
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:27,919
Speaker 2: Luke your thoughts against the spread and straight up who

1389
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 2: wins and who wins who beats the spread?

1390
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 12: Okay, here's what I'm thinking.

1391
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 10: I'm thinking the Jets are not going to be able

1392
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 10: to compete with this Joe Flacco led offense. We saw

1393
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 10: last week the capabilities of that team and especially t

1394
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 10: Higgins on my fantasy team, shout out. It's been it's

1395
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 10: been like a rough going but last week was fantastic. Okay,

1396
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 10: and after seeing that production, I can't I can't bet

1397
01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 10: against the Bengals.

1398
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 2: Okay, So you're going BEng and does it help matters

1399
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 2: at all? That's Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson are both

1400
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 2: out for the Jets.

1401
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 12: God, oh, I think that makes it a no brainer then.

1402
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay, Bengals cover the six and a half.

1403
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Mark Horse, of course lay it. I can't

1404
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 1: believe the lines only that skin. There's something going on.

1405
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 1: Did more Bengals request a trade that we don't know about?

1406
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 2: Somebody, get Damon Jones on the phone and see if

1407
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 2: we can get a benuet No, I'm just kidding. Okay,

1408
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 2: this one's interesting, all right, Mark, you get this one.

1409
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:29,959
Speaker 3: First. The Chicago Bears are four and two.

1410
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 2: The Baltimore Ravens are coming off of by at one

1411
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 2: in five.

1412
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, in Baltimore.

1413
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 2: In Baltimore is favored by six and a half. Then

1414
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 2: it does appear that on Friday Lamar Jackson was a

1415
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 2: full participant in practice Bears Ravens.

1416
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 3: Who you got, Mark?

1417
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 1: Uh, it's a lot. That's a lot that okay, for

1418
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:58,040
Speaker 1: entertainment purposes only, of course, Ravens straight up Ravens against

1419
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: the spread. Go okay, lay it nice? Okay.

1420
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:05,439
Speaker 10: So my roommate is a Chicago Bears fan and he's

1421
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 10: been through a lot over.

1422
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 1: The University of Texas.

1423
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 12: Yes, he's been been through a lot.

1424
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 10: I remember specifically last year against the Washington Commanders.

1425
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 1: That was you had to go through. That was brutal.

1426
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 10: That was a brutal weekend, brutal, and you know, coming

1427
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 10: through this year. I had very low expectations for them,

1428
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 10: and I think they've They've surpassed that for sure. And

1429
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 10: there's so much potentially got going on there.

1430
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 1: Can they beat Lamar Jackson?

1431
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:35,919
Speaker 12: No, No, it's not gonna happen, a right.

1432
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 2: Raven straight up. But do the Bears get inside the

1433
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 2: six and a half?

1434
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 12: I think the Bears cover? Okay, I think the Bears cover.

1435
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 10: I've seen I've seen the capabilities of that offense.

1436
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: Okay, that's our first disagreement.

1437
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, go ahead, all right, Luke, you shut off

1438
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 2: with this in Carolina the four and three Carolina Panthers

1439
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 2: with no Bryce Young, with no Bryce Young, and you don't.

1440
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 2: We'll start at quarterback. Take King on the four and

1441
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 2: two seemingly cracks in the armor. No help for Josh Allen.

1442
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:13,439
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills, even though it's in Carolina, Buffalo favored by

1443
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 2: seven and a half.

1444
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: Who you got?

1445
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 12: These are crazy?

1446
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 2: That's that makes Buffalo a road favored by seven and

1447
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 2: a half points.

1448
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 1: How about that?

1449
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:27,760
Speaker 3: Go it's your ability?

1450
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: What do you got? No pressure?

1451
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the Bills? Okay, No Bryce Young? No

1452
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 2: Bryce Young, and you don't. Michael Sprain for Bryce Young.

1453
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 2: So you're taking the Bills spread seven and a half.

1454
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 3: I'm laying it.

1455
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 10: They need it. They need it. They need it bad.

1456
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 10: They're gonna they need this bad. They need to show

1457
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 10: the world that they can still win a Super Bowl.

1458
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 10: They need to show that they can compete. I'm taking

1459
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 10: the Bills.

1460
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 1: It's a huge game for them. But it's a tremendous break.

1461
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 1: Why can't we play the Panthers and the Red Rifle.

1462
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 1: Didn't the Bills mafia once send donations to the Red

1463
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 1: Rices charity because he beat a team to help get

1464
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: thet the.

1465
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 2: Ravens, remember that sin Andy Dalton threw a touchdown pass

1466
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 2: to Tyler Boyd and Boyd ran all the way around

1467
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 2: the end in twenties twenty seventeen, and.

1468
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 3: They were down in Miami. They all remember, they were

1469
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 3: all watching in the locker room.

1470
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 6: That awesome.

1471
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:19,680
Speaker 2: And the Bengals beat the Ravens and that sent the

1472
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 2: Bills to the playoffs. And Andy Dalton all right, Bills.

1473
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 1: I love that, but I don't like this. But I'm

1474
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 1: if I have to, I'm gonna pick the Bills. So

1475
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:29,759
Speaker 1: the only difference we have so far is the spread

1476
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 1: on the Bears game.

1477
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:30,800
Speaker 9: Go on.

1478
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're laying the seven and a half all right? Good,

1479
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 2: Now this game took place. This is an interesting one

1480
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 2: to me. This game took place on a Thursday a

1481
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, and the home standing New York

1482
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 2: Giants beat the Philadelphia Eagles by seventeen.

1483
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:47,240
Speaker 7: Wow.

1484
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 3: So you've got the.

1485
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 2: Two and five New York Giants going to Philadelphia five

1486
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 2: and two in Philly's a seven and a half point favorish.

1487
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:02,600
Speaker 2: The Texans were starting with you Giants Eagles. Philly is

1488
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:03,919
Speaker 2: seven and a half point favorite.

1489
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 1: All right, So the Giants are gonna have a two

1490
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 1: touchdown lead going into the fourth of course, but Philly's

1491
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: gonna score thirty points in the fourth quarter, coming spread

1492
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 1: and number and win. So there we go. The Eagles

1493
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 1: all the way, baby. I mean, I'm laying some huge

1494
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 1: points fictionally in this segment. So there you go. I

1495
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 1: did go with you on against my son. Yeah, go ahead.

1496
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 12: It's at Philly, correct at Philly.

1497
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 3: Just a couple of weeks after losing on a Thursday night.

1498
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 12: I mean, I feel like there's been a little bit

1499
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 12: of drama going on.

1500
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 7: With aj Brown.

1501
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's even more drama this week.

1502
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 2: And tweeted again about they're using me, but they're not

1503
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 2: using me.

1504
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 1: There's only four catches. I had a thousand yards and

1505
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 1: a touchdown or a couple of whatever it was. I

1506
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 1: only had four catches, So that's not not using me.

1507
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:54,559
Speaker 10: I don't and I know Jalen Hurts. His deep ball

1508
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 10: has been extremely limited this year.

1509
01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: That's right.

1510
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:00,719
Speaker 3: Do you believe in Jackson Darton camp scatterboot do it again?

1511
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 1: By the way, certain big time receivers, you could you

1512
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 1: have to feed them the ball to prevent all this.

1513
01:10:05,840 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: It's exactly that way. You just remove the conversation, get

1514
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:12,679
Speaker 1: them four or five targets early, just get the ball rolling,

1515
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 1: win or lose. Keep the diva happy, okay, keep the

1516
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 1: diva happy. You gotta do that very much.

1517
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 2: You gotta know when you have one of those one

1518
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 2: when you're at home, you keep the diva happy.

1519
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:24,719
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, exactly, all right, thank you, Luke.

1520
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,720
Speaker 3: Eagles to win. But do the Eagles covered seven and

1521
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 3: a half.

1522
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 1: Oh, he's going to take another risk here. I can

1523
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:33,000
Speaker 1: feel it gambling.

1524
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say.

1525
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 12: I'm going to say no.

1526
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 3: Okay, so you're saying Giants cover.

1527
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 12: I think it's close. Oh, I think it's going to

1528
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:39,519
Speaker 12: be closer.

1529
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 1: You're gonna win one of these because you're gonna get

1530
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 1: some backdoor.

1531
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:42,559
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1532
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 1: Jackson dart scattab.

1533
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,679
Speaker 10: Scattaboo against Texas last year had me on my heels.

1534
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 12: I'll never bet against him.

1535
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, they love camp Scataboo in New York.

1536
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 2: It's it's freaking awesome.

1537
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 1: Watch.

1538
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 3: I'm taking Eagles thirty one twenty one at home.

1539
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 2: Uh that's spread on this one is seven and a

1540
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,559
Speaker 2: half as well. But I feel like this is trickier

1541
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 2: because I feel like the visitors, the Cleveland Browns have

1542
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 2: played better, have played much better, pretty dark good last

1543
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:14,919
Speaker 2: week against the Miami Dolphins.

1544

Speaker 1: All right, The Titans.

1567
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 2: Will play without Lugerious Snead, Calvin Ridley, and Jeffrey Simmons

01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 2: and go to Indianapolis to take.

1569
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 1: On the Colts.

1570
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 2: Just off, and the Colts are just a fourteen and

1571
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 2: a half point favorite, Mark you go first? Is there

1572
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:37,599
Speaker 2: any is there any other choice than Colts win, Colts cover?

1573
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:41,559
Speaker 1: I think that you could argue it's too many. I mean,

1574
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 1: like pro gambler I would imagine would say that's way

1575
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 1: too many. You can't do it. But and look, I

1576
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,679
Speaker 1: don't want to be you know what, Go Titans, Go Titans. Yeah,

Speaker 1: rally the troops. This is for your career. Let's do.

1579
01:12:58,160 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: They're not gonna save your job, but you know what,

1580
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 1: it'll help. It'll make people think, hey, maybe we got

1581
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 1: something here. Colts win Tennessee covers, all right, good looke?

1582
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:08,879
Speaker 1: Any chance for the Titans.

1583
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 10: Well, I'm sorry, dad, but this is just one of

1584
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 10: those takes where it feels like somebody, yeah, trying to

1585
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 10: get more views, trying to get a headline or something.

1586
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 1: And hatred for the Colts.

1587
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 2: You have Listen, you have less historical abuse floating around

1588
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,559
Speaker 2: into your brain from the Colts than he does, and

1589
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 2: we do, so it's understandable that you're about to pick

1590
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 2: Colts was born.

1591
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 1: The year he was born was the first year we

1592
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 1: beat the Colts.

1593
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:40,799
Speaker 12: Huge correlation there.

1594
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely, that's right. So before he turned a year old, Yeah,

1595
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,799
Speaker 1: the first four years, first ever victory of the Colts.

1596
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:49,559
Speaker 2: Okay, last one that will do, because I think this

1597
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:50,679
Speaker 2: is a this is a good one.

1598
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:54,360
Speaker 1: Finally we got one spreads three and a half, three

1599
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 1: and a half.

1600
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 2: In mile High as the Denver Broncos, coming off thirty

1601
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 2: three points in the fourth cour at five and two,

1602
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 2: were taking on the Dallas Cowboys at three three and one.

1603
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 2: The Cowboys coming off a butt kicking of the Commanders.

1604
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:13,679
Speaker 2: Mark you go first, Cowboys Broncos, Denver favored by three

1605
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 2: and a half.

1606
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 1: Your thoughts Dallas all the way? Really yes, because Wow,

1607
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 1: I think they've got the firepower to do it. I

1608
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:25,080
Speaker 1: think Denver shakier than people think. I agree with that.

1609
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 1: Now they're gonna be here next week, so I don't

1610
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:28,720
Speaker 1: know if I want them coming in here mad or

1611
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:32,200
Speaker 1: fat and happy. But knowing Peyton, they'll never be happy.

1612
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 1: It's because they work for him. So I believe that

1613
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I'm gonna go. Dallas gets the job done.

1614
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 1: All out, Luke Denver, Dallas.

1615
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 2: Denver's favored by three and a half at home in

1616
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:48,560
Speaker 2: the altitude, which Dallas doesn't play a lot in Cowboys v.

1617
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 3: Broncos.

1618
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:51,760
Speaker 10: Where you got you know, I've been to that stadium

1619
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:56,720
Speaker 10: he has that that's really nice.

1620
01:14:57,080 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 1: He was at the thromble game. I was, oh, you

1621
01:14:59,479 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 1: were to throw?

1622
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:03,559
Speaker 10: I was that the only only ever game NFL game

1623
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 10: I've been to outside of the Houston Texans stadium.

1624
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:09,519
Speaker 2: And you saw thromble the first ever. On the same

1625
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:11,679
Speaker 2: night that we threw a thromble, we lost the tackle

1626
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:14,760
Speaker 2: because of two Pattel attendant ears that was Derek Newton

1627
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 2: all in the same that game.

1628
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 1: Good lord, all right, what you got?

1629
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:22,720
Speaker 10: Okay, I'm thinking. I'm thinking Broncos here. Okay, I think

1630
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:24,040
Speaker 10: Broncos are gonna take the thread.

1631
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 1: Three and a half is tight, but.

1632
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 10: I have high expectations for that team as well. I

1633
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 10: think they'll win, probably by five.

1634
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:32,599
Speaker 1: Okay, I like it.

1635
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 6: I like it.

1636
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 2: I was thinking thirty five, thirty one, Broncos high scoring.

1637
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 3: Neither team.

1638
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 2: You know, Dallas could score on anybody in Denver found

1639
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 2: a way to score.

1640
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 1: Last week.

1641
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,679
Speaker 2: They found it a way to score thirty three. Okay, fast,

1642
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 2: give me winners. Packers at Steelers Sunday night, Mark.

1643
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:50,240

1650
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 2: Commanders a shot without Jayden Day Daniels in Kansas City.

1651
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 1: No, no, no chance, no chance, no agree.

1652
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:06,719
Speaker 2: That spreads eleven and a half. That thing probably should

1653
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:09,440
Speaker 2: it is. It's eleven and a half without Jayde and Daniels.

1654
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:12,200
Speaker 2: I haven't looked at the line. Oh you got it,

1655
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:14,280
Speaker 2: you got it, you gotta lay all. I don't like

1656
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:16,559
Speaker 2: laying double diges in the NFL, but man, you gotta

1657
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 2: do it for that one.

1658
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 1: No, Jade Daniels, I don't even think about spreads anymore.

1659
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 1: But this has been fun.

1660
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:23,160

1676
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 2: So we played it on Fridays. From now on, here

1677
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:09,680
Speaker 2: is to beco with Mark and myself joining us in

1678
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:11,559
Speaker 2: the studio. Head coach Tamiko RAN's coach.

1679
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 1: Great to see it, Great to see you guys, like,

1680
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:17,679
Speaker 1: everybody's real fresh after that trip, short week to play

1681
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:19,800
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers at home. But take us through

1682
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:21,600
Speaker 1: some of the elements of the game, coach, because I

1683
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:23,400
Speaker 1: know it was a rough one in Seattle and you

1684
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 1: don't have much time to get ready for the next one.

1685
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, that that was a tough one hordor fall battle.

1686
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 5: I thought our guys, you know, we had had some

1687
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:34,599
Speaker 5: plays that we made to keep us in the game right,

1688
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:36,760
Speaker 5: multiple times, had opportunities.

1689
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:39,479
Speaker 7: It fell short there. I mean, we.

1690
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 5: Got to be able to move the ball better and

1691
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:45,559
Speaker 5: score points in the red zone. A couple of things

1692
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 5: on our keys to victory were really finishing in the

1693
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 5: red zone with points. I knew we had to score

1694
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 5: to win that game. And also just controlling the line

1695
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:55,960
Speaker 5: of scrimmage. Right when you look at it, we didn't

1696
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:58,639
Speaker 5: control the line of scrimmage in a case where the

1697
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 5: past two weeks were able to displaced the D line.

1698
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 5: We were able to run the ball a little bit

1699
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 5: and we got you know, we got knocked back. We

1700
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 5: could have run the ball as well, so we lean

1701
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,439
Speaker 5: more heavy on passing the football, and you know, they

1702
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 5: made some plays there and we just gotta be better

1703
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:20,720
Speaker 5: from a standpoint also of just everybody just doing their

1704
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 5: job doing where we were coached to do, doing it

1705
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 5: on a consistent basis, Like we got to do better

1706
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 5: in that in that end, and that starts with me.

1707
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:31,320
Speaker 1: Courch. One of the things you did do much better

1708
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 1: last night.

1709
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 2: You got the turnovers and they came in a big

1710
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,799
Speaker 2: time and including Wills where it actually turned into a touchdown,

1711
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 2: which I thought, once he makes that touchdown, we're seventeen twelve, Like, okay,

1712
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 2: now we got the momentum.

1713
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 3: Here we go.

1714
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts about just the turnover machine kind

1715
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:49,479
Speaker 2: of getting going. Kaylan's starting it with that interception that

1716
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 2: was just a great one at that moment what we

1717
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 2: needed badly he came.

1718
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 7: Up with it.

1719
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:55,800
Speaker 1: But getting the four turnovers last night that was big

1720
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:56,320
Speaker 1: for the defense.

1721
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 5: No, that was huge, right is getting turnovers And mentioned

1722
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:01,640
Speaker 5: this to you to like getting the turnovers are a

1723
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:04,599
Speaker 5: great thing, but it's now what do you do after

1724
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:07,599
Speaker 5: the turnover and to really swing the game in your favor.

1725
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 5: It's all about getting points after the takeaway and that's

1726
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 5: where we you know fail short. Will did outstanding job

1727
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:16,799
Speaker 5: of getting a sack strip recovering it for a touchdown

1728
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 5: as an outstand to play to spark our entire sideline,

1729
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 5: entire team, but.

1730
01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:24,440
Speaker 7: We just needed more off of the other takeaways.

1731
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:27,480
Speaker 1: Coach, you mentioned in your press conference something about practicing

1732
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 1: things well and sometimes that is not always taken to

1733
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 1: the field. What does it take to make practice habits

1734
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 1: be game habits for you?

1735
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:38,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, you just have to be locked in. And that's

1736
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:40,639
Speaker 5: that's the main thing. Each and every snap. It's one

1737
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 5: snap at a time. And I say that not just

1738
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:46,799
Speaker 5: a cliche, but it's truly like, it's this one snap.

1739
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:50,719
Speaker 5: Can I focus in, Can I do the things, remember

1740
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 5: the things that we've studied all week, And can I

1741
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:56,000
Speaker 5: go out and execute that on that one given snap?

1742
01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 5: And you put that away and then you reset for

1743
01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:00,960
Speaker 5: the next snap. And so it just takes a lot

1744
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 5: of mental focus, right. It takes mental clarity to be

1745
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 5: locked in, to be.

1746
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 7: In the moment. Right.

1747
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 5: You can't think about the last play or the net.

1748
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 5: You gotta think about this one play. This is all

1749
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:13,320
Speaker 5: I have. You got to be locked in in a moment.

1750
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:15,960
Speaker 2: Coach, When you were talking kind of about the game,

1751
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 2: some of the things that kind of I'm sure you're

1752
01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:24,040
Speaker 2: ruminating on our eight thousand hour flight last night. The

1753
01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 2: the offensive line or just the offense in general, not

1754
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 2: being able to get movement. Is that probably the biggest one?

1755
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 2: The physicality of that against a team that was we know,

1756
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:34,520
Speaker 2: very very physical. Was that probably the biggest one offensively

1757
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:36,880
Speaker 2: that you look at and say, Yeah, I really would

1758
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:38,679
Speaker 2: have liked our physicality be the better at the point

1759
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:39,080
Speaker 2: of tech.

1760
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:41,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the main thing we knew all week. We

1761
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,200
Speaker 5: talked about their front and how they're strong. They're the

1762
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:47,000
Speaker 5: strongest part of their team was their front, and we

1763
01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 5: had to be able to control their front on our

1764
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:50,040
Speaker 5: double team blocks.

1765
01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:51,120
Speaker 7: Where we didn't.

1766
01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 5: We got split on some of the double team blocks

1767
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:56,080
Speaker 5: where you're not expecting that to happen. So we just

1768
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:57,640
Speaker 5: got to be able to train better. We got to

1769
01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 5: be able to play with better technique, and if that's

1770
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:02,599
Speaker 5: the key to winning the game, we have to execute

1771
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:03,559
Speaker 5: that and get it done.

1772
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:06,759
Speaker 1: All right, So running game as a whole coach, because

1773
01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:08,720
Speaker 1: we know you want to run the football and you

1774
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 1: just haven't gotten the consistency you're looking for in a

1775
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 1: short week. What can you do to improve that kind

1776
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 1: of thing?

1777
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, you just get back to the basics and the fundamentals, right,

1778
01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:19,960
Speaker 5: You don't try to reinvent the wheel. You get back

1779
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 5: to the things that we do we have done well,

1780
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 5: and you try to lean in on those things. And

1781
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:28,960
Speaker 5: you just making sure that we're clean on our blockingness,

1782
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 5: on who we're going to, making sure we're id and

1783
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 5: the proper people and going to them and actually finishing

1784
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 5: on the correct people.

1785
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 2: Coach, Kaylen makes that interception. He also had a couple

1786
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:41,280
Speaker 2: of plays down the field where did that one over

1787
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:44,800
Speaker 2: route where he looked him it was going away from him,

1788
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 2: and yet he still got over the top of the

1789
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:48,759
Speaker 2: route and made it play. It feels like he's getting

1790
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:51,400
Speaker 2: more comfortable in that role of being that rangy center

1791
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:53,559
Speaker 2: fielder for you no matter what coverage your in. What

1792
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:55,000
Speaker 2: have you seen from Kaylin lately?

1793
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:57,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kaylen was able to display his rains in the

1794
01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 5: back end, you know, versus our life game because the

1795
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:03,760
Speaker 5: ball was up. There's a lot of deep balls that

1796
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:05,559
Speaker 5: were thrown up, and he was able to show his

1797
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:07,799
Speaker 5: range and go make plays on the football.

1798
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 7: And that's what he's capable of doing.

1799
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 5: He's that center fielder who can make those plays for us,

1800
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:15,720
Speaker 5: and it was on display versus the Seahawks and I

1801
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 5: would sell if teams want to try him there, he

1802
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:19,840
Speaker 5: has to be the guy to go erase it and

1803
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:20,599
Speaker 5: go get the football.

1804
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:24,640
Speaker 1: Coach Jellen Knowle has this clutch ability about him. It

1805
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:26,599
Speaker 1: wasn't a ton of catches, but it was a pretty

1806
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 1: big game relative to his rookie season. So what are

1807
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 1: you seeing from him and what can you tell us

1808
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:34,040
Speaker 1: about using him more or how you want to use

1809
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 1: him going down the line.

1810
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's definitely continued to, i mean, make more and

1811
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 5: more plays for us. We needed a big play in

1812
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 5: a big moment there at the end of a half.

1813
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 5: I mean, what an outstand to catch by him, to

1814
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:48,639
Speaker 5: catch it over the defender to put us in field

1815
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:52,559
Speaker 5: goal range. Big play by him, fourth down, another huge

1816
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 5: moment in the game. We needed it. CJ found him

1817
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:57,920
Speaker 5: on the sideline. So he's continued to make big play

1818
01:22:57,960 --> 01:22:59,639
Speaker 5: after big play. We just got to find a way

1819
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:03,000
Speaker 5: to you know, keep leaning in on that right, keep

1820
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:04,760
Speaker 5: leaning in, find a way to get him the ball

1821
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 5: even more.

1822
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:08,719
Speaker 1: How tough was it because Kirk gets injured during practice

1823
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 1: last week, You lose Nico through the course of the game.

1824
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 1: A lot of shuffling you have to do. Burios Is

1825
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:13,760
Speaker 1: up for the first time.

1826
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:14,559
Speaker 7: That kind of Yeah, a.

1827
01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 5: Lot of shuffling that goes on, I tell guys, and

1828
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:19,320
Speaker 5: my theme kind of throughout the week was like, it

1829
01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:24,639
Speaker 5: don't matter, Like we're going across the country playing late

1830
01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 5: in them whoever has to be that guy to step

1831
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:29,240
Speaker 5: up to make a play. Really it doesn't matter, Like

1832
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 5: no excuses, no explanations, Let's.

1833
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:32,960
Speaker 7: Just go get the job done.

1834
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 5: And he saw guys have to step up, and Know,

1835
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 5: I would say, was the main guy who stepped up

1836
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 5: and made plays for us.

1837
01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:41,639
Speaker 2: Coach, you talked about your frustrations. How did you feel

1838
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:43,880
Speaker 2: about the complimentary football aspects, because there was a couple

1839
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 2: of really good moments, like you mentioned in a half

1840
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:48,720
Speaker 2: Denico blocks the Fueld goal, you get to throw to

1841
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 2: Knowl you get the field goal right there, you have

1842
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 2: Tommy pinning him down inside the five with his punt.

1843
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:56,639
Speaker 1: That's when Will gets the strip side.

1844
01:23:56,680 --> 01:24:00,599
Speaker 2: Complimentary football was there for you and you had some

1845
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:03,640
Speaker 2: good moments. How'd you feel about those moments and how

1846
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 2: do you feel about, Hey, we need a few more

1847
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 2: of those now.

1848
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:06,640
Speaker 7: I felt good about it.

1849
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,559
Speaker 5: You see it right, and I can show the film

1850
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:12,599
Speaker 5: when it's when it's done. Right, and we got some

1851
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 5: really great moments of winning is doing right and we

1852
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:19,160
Speaker 5: execute the right way and it's beautiful football. But there

1853
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 5: are some moments out there where we're not lacking. So

1854
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:24,599
Speaker 5: it's just a matter of finding that consistency, like who

1855
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 5: are we truly like, let's be the same each and

1856
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 5: each and every time that we're out on the field.

1857
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 5: Let's have that consistency. That's what's gonna put us in

1858
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 5: a win call.

1859
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:36,040
Speaker 1: How do you handle a week's schedule wise, coach, because

1860
01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:38,360
Speaker 1: you can't have a normal Wednesday practice, I would assume

1861
01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 1: because you just played less than two days prior and

1862
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 1: it's not like a Sunday Thursday thing, but it is significant,

1863
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:48,080
Speaker 1: especially with the morning arrival following the game.

1864
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:50,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a short week for sure.

1865
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:53,160
Speaker 5: Getting back at seven am in the morning, that's a

1866
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:55,479
Speaker 5: that's a new one for me. But we can't have

1867
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:57,720
Speaker 5: a normal Wednesday. What we'll do, we'll go out, move

1868
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:00,120
Speaker 5: around a little bit, and we'll kind of do a

1869
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 5: walk through and just to get guys, you know, some reps,

1870
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 5: get a moving around, and then we'll have our normal

1871
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:07,559
Speaker 5: Thursday practice and get back to it.

1872
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,880
Speaker 2: Coach, traveling as we have, I went back and looked

1873
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:15,160
Speaker 2: the schedule, like we went play Tennessee, then we end

1874
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 2: up going to Baltimore having a buy and then going

1875
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:18,559
Speaker 2: to Seattle.

1876
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 3: We finally get home and we get home for three weeks.

1877
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 2: I know, we don't want to put the other two

1878
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:24,639
Speaker 2: weeks and you know, front of San Francisco, et cetera.

1879
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 2: But just to be able to be home for a

1880
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 2: significant stretch of time. How important is it at this

1881
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:31,680
Speaker 2: time of year to not have to travel but to

1882
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:32,680
Speaker 2: play those three games out.

1883
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:35,320
Speaker 5: It's always great to be home. Always great to be

1884
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 5: you know, in your bed, always great to be.

1885
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:39,639
Speaker 7: In front of our fans.

1886
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:42,720
Speaker 5: So we're excited to be home on his three game

1887
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 5: stretch here and play some good, good opponents coming up,

1888
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 5: and we got to go out and just play better football.

1889
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 7: That's the main thing for me.

1890
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 5: Just being home or wherever you are, the execution doesn't change.

1891
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 5: Like you got to be able to go out and

1892
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:58,880
Speaker 5: play great football, play great football that our fans be

1893
01:25:58,880 --> 01:25:59,680
Speaker 5: excited to see him.

1894
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:03,640
Speaker 1: How us a Shanahan Kubiak offense different from the Kubiak

1895
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:05,800
Speaker 1: offense that you just faced in Seattle.

1896
01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:07,839
Speaker 7: Oh, it's very similar. Alright.

1897
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,639
Speaker 5: Just watching some of the film is very similar, seeing

1898
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 5: some of the same concepts that show up. So the

1899
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:17,320
Speaker 5: difference is with Kyle, He's just going to be able

1900
01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:20,280
Speaker 5: to get to it, get to a lot of different formasons,

1901
01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:23,760
Speaker 5: many many more motions and formson variations.

1902
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:25,240
Speaker 7: He just get to it a different way.

1903
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 5: And we know Christian McCaffery is going to be their

1904
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 5: go to guy, right, He's going to be the guy

1905
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:31,840
Speaker 5: to try to feed the ball too, So we got

1906
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 5: to go out and stop him.

1907
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:35,960
Speaker 2: Coach, you had an up close personal look at Brock

1908
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 2: Perdy may not play, it might be Mac Jones, and

1909
01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 2: I know there are differences between the two. And I

1910
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 2: know we've talked about prep before, and I would imagine

1911
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:49,480
Speaker 2: that you've seen the San Francisco offense a few times

1912
01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 2: in your day.

1913
01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:51,759
Speaker 1: You may have seen it before.

1914
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:54,679
Speaker 2: But either one of those two quarterbacks or just those

1915
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:57,280
Speaker 2: two quarterbacks, what have you seen from those two guys?

1916
01:26:57,320 --> 01:26:59,000
Speaker 1: I know you've probably not too much time to prep.

1917
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 2: You've probably seen a little at play, maybe on Sunday

1918
01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 2: night against the Falcons.

1919
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:04,560
Speaker 1: What do you think about those two quarterbacks?

1920
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 5: I think Mac has stepped in and then doing an

1921
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:10,599
Speaker 5: outstanding job, right, And it all starts with just their.

1922
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:12,200
Speaker 7: Time and how they're moving.

1923
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:14,920
Speaker 5: They're trying to create a lot of distractions, right, and

1924
01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 5: they have a lot of people open, right, So as

1925
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:18,960
Speaker 5: a defense, you have to be able to have your

1926
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,240
Speaker 5: eyes in the right place. You have to communicate well

1927
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 5: with all the motions that they give you. But I

1928
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 5: think Mac and Brock hat done a good job is

1929
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,639
Speaker 5: just getting the ball out very quickly to the open

1930
01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:31,000
Speaker 5: receivers and then they have their designated shots when they

1931
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:33,839
Speaker 5: want to go downfield, but for the most part, they'll

1932
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 5: just methodically drive down the field. So we got to

1933
01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 5: find a way to get stops on early downs and

1934
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 5: then went on third.

1935
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 1: Down how often, And I would imagine this is much

1936
01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 1: more of an offseason thing. When you're talking with undrafted

1937
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:47,599
Speaker 1: guys or guys who were drafted Day three or whatever.

1938
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:50,360
Speaker 1: Do you point out players like Brock Purty or other

1939
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:52,559
Speaker 1: guys you have worked with who weren't drafted that high

1940
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:55,400
Speaker 1: who turn out to be really significant players in this league.

1941
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:57,599
Speaker 5: You always want to point out those guys to let

1942
01:27:58,040 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 5: let everybody know, like it really doesn't matter matter how

1943
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:03,439
Speaker 5: you get in, like whether you're a seventh round pick,

1944
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 5: whether you're a free agent, Like there has been many

1945
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 5: examples of a lot of guys who not just first rounders, right,

1946
01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:13,400
Speaker 5: who make it and succeed in this league, you know,

1947
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 5: And I love the stories of the undrafted free agents

1948
01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 5: or the late round picks because nobody's expecting anything out

1949
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 5: of those guys, and it takes a lot of grit.

1950
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 5: It takes a lot of toughness for a guy to,

1951
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:26,599
Speaker 5: you know, work his way up. But it's just a

1952
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:28,960
Speaker 5: matter of it doesn't matter who you are, is just

1953
01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:32,479
Speaker 5: how you go out and how you play, how you

1954
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:36,360
Speaker 5: show that character of yourself when you're playing, and that it.

1955
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,840
Speaker 7: Resonates with the underdog stories that everybody.

1956
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 5: Loves a guy who's not supposed to make it by

1957
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:44,800
Speaker 5: means of being undrafted, but he comes out and he

1958
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 5: does well. Brock Purty, mister irrelevant, he comes out nobody's

1959
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:52,400
Speaker 5: expecting anything, but seeing the way he operated and the

1960
01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:55,719
Speaker 5: way he worked in practice, I could tell right away

1961
01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 5: that he had a different he had a different feel

1962
01:28:58,560 --> 01:28:59,639
Speaker 5: about him, right he had.

1963
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 7: He with a lot of confidence.

1964
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 5: He played a lot of football at Iowa State, and

1965
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:06,840
Speaker 5: so he had a lot of reps on task, and

1966
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:09,800
Speaker 5: so he got out there and he was a gunslinger

1967
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 5: making plays and he earned his keep, and then now

1968
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:15,719
Speaker 5: he's a starting quarterback for the forty Niners.

1969
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:17,880
Speaker 2: Sounds a lot like a defensive tackle we got right now.

1970
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 2: Then Tom Toky, he's done some good things. He had

1971
01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:21,599
Speaker 2: a nice night for you, coach, won't ask you about

1972
01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:25,679
Speaker 2: a different defensive tackle. Defensive end came back last night,

1973
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:27,960
Speaker 2: had the big field goal block, had a sack.

1974
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:30,320
Speaker 1: What does it mean to afthony Ka autry.

1975
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:33,680
Speaker 5: Back and it's everything for us what Deniko can do

1976
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 5: and our pass for us having him will and d

1977
01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:40,760
Speaker 5: Nil out there together like Deniko is a problem, especially

1978
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:43,639
Speaker 5: as an inside rusher, whether he's rushing over the guard

1979
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:47,120
Speaker 5: or center like, he just presents a problem. He's big, strong,

1980
01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:50,040
Speaker 5: he knows how to get to the quarterback. He's done

1981
01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:52,040
Speaker 5: it a lot in his career. And then you know,

1982
01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:55,000
Speaker 5: one of the best guys I seen at field goal block.

1983
01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:57,639
Speaker 5: He finds a way to find a crease and get

1984
01:29:57,680 --> 01:30:00,040
Speaker 5: through and lifts up and he actually made the the

1985
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:02,600
Speaker 5: other guys around him better. I saw more guys like

1986
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:06,160
Speaker 5: knocking back getting their hands up. So I'm happy to

1987
01:30:06,200 --> 01:30:10,160
Speaker 5: have him lift our defense and be able to be

1988
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:11,559
Speaker 5: an impact player for us.

1989
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:14,800
Speaker 1: Another guy we wanted to highlight Woody Marks had that

1990
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:18,799
Speaker 1: ball poked out. When they recovered it was a fumble

1991
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:20,920
Speaker 1: and it's happening so fast, You're thinking, wait, are they

1992
01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:23,240
Speaker 1: blowing this thing dead or no, is this an incomplete pass?

1993
01:30:23,280 --> 01:30:25,360
Speaker 1: It's a fumble and he gets it back for you.

1994
01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:26,800
Speaker 1: Burios recovers in the end zone.

1995
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:30,600
Speaker 5: What about Wow, man, you talk about a player like,

1996
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:31,760
Speaker 5: what's going on here?

1997
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:32,200
Speaker 1: Right?

1998
01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:33,360
Speaker 7: Ball comes out?

1999
01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:35,640
Speaker 5: We don't want the ball come out, of course, but

2000
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:39,280
Speaker 5: they recover the ball and to see Woody's reaction, he

2001
01:30:39,439 --> 01:30:42,599
Speaker 5: instantly takes off and he's going to attack the ball

2002
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 5: right and he gets the ball out, Thank god he did.

2003
01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:50,760
Speaker 5: And then I think it was Jake Andrews came through,

2004
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:53,800
Speaker 5: he hit the ball and then ultimately Barrios was able

2005
01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:55,360
Speaker 5: to recover the ball in the end zone.

2006
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:57,880
Speaker 7: It's just goes back to it's all about the ball.

2007
01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:00,879
Speaker 5: Every single every single snap is all about the football

2008
01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 5: and whenever the ball is on the ground, we have

2009
01:31:03,439 --> 01:31:05,760
Speaker 5: to go get it. It's our ball when it's on

2010
01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 5: the ground. And what he definitely showcase that and we

2011
01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:11,720
Speaker 5: need it in such a huge moment for us to

2012
01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:14,439
Speaker 5: make them have to just take the penalty and not

2013
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 5: have the touch back.

2014
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:18,240
Speaker 1: You've talked about your defense attacking the ball, and you've

2015
01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:20,120
Speaker 1: also said in the past something like you want your

2016
01:31:20,160 --> 01:31:22,160
Speaker 1: offense to attack the ball also, you want them to

2017
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:25,879
Speaker 1: have that nasty whatever it is mindset, my words, not yours.

2018
01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:29,240
Speaker 1: What does it take to get that done? You mentioned fundamentals,

2019
01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:31,640
Speaker 1: but what about the mental aspect of it, coach, or

2020
01:31:31,720 --> 01:31:34,120
Speaker 1: is it something that will happen naturally as you continue

2021
01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:34,360
Speaker 1: to do.

2022
01:31:34,400 --> 01:31:36,599
Speaker 5: It's definitely a mental aspect when you're on the offensive side.

2023
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:39,080
Speaker 5: When it comes to attacking the football, it's like, how

2024
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:41,800
Speaker 5: are you catching it with aggressive hands going up? And

2025
01:31:41,840 --> 01:31:43,719
Speaker 5: you got to have aggressive hands.

2026
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 7: Go get the ball. Defenders are on you.

2027
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:48,679
Speaker 5: How tough are you like to finish through the catch

2028
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:50,920
Speaker 5: and come down with the football. Sometimes you just got

2029
01:31:50,920 --> 01:31:52,920
Speaker 5: to go attack it and you have to have that

2030
01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:56,479
Speaker 5: mindset that is my ball and his mind only, and

2031
01:31:56,560 --> 01:31:58,840
Speaker 5: I'm coming away with the football. So it all starts

2032
01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:02,280
Speaker 5: with the mindset. You have the right mindset, we can

2033
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:03,200
Speaker 5: all attack the ball.

2034
01:32:03,560 --> 01:32:03,840
Speaker 1: Coach.

2035
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:06,960
Speaker 2: On that play, there are a lot of things going on.

2036
01:32:07,120 --> 01:32:09,559
Speaker 2: First of all, was CJ's arm going forward or not?

2037
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:12,360
Speaker 2: Was it a pass or not? Did Drake Thomas get

2038
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:14,679
Speaker 2: in the end zone before the ball was popped away?

2039
01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 1: Was the ball that recovery Texans.

2040
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:19,760
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things happening on that particular play

2041
01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:22,680
Speaker 2: we were talking about on the broadcast. How much are

2042
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:25,960
Speaker 2: the officials at that point communicating to you, Okay, here's

2043
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:26,559
Speaker 2: what happened.

2044
01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:28,479
Speaker 1: It was ruled this, it was ruled this, it was

2045
01:32:28,560 --> 01:32:28,880
Speaker 1: ruled this.

2046
01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:33,599
Speaker 2: How much are they giving you of the situation at

2047
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:35,919
Speaker 2: that particular moment. How much are they keeping you informed

2048
01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:37,120
Speaker 2: on that particular situation.

2049
01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:39,360
Speaker 5: Well, when the stop, it happens like that and they're

2050
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 5: reviewing it. So a ref comes over. He stands next

2051
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:45,240
Speaker 5: to me, and as he's getting the information, he kind

2052
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:47,439
Speaker 5: of we're kind of talking and he gives me the

2053
01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:50,519
Speaker 5: information that he has. So it's kind of spotty because

2054
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:52,479
Speaker 5: he gets a little bit and he's trying to say,

2055
01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:55,759
Speaker 5: so you, I really don't get the full story until

2056
01:32:56,120 --> 01:32:58,320
Speaker 5: they're done with the review, but so I'm getting bits

2057
01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:01,880
Speaker 5: and pieces of First thing, first, I was it a fumble, right, right,

2058
01:33:01,880 --> 01:33:04,120
Speaker 5: and you try to start there. So the ref did

2059
01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:06,760
Speaker 5: a really good job of communicating what was going on

2060
01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:09,760
Speaker 5: to me and what the other side was doing. Right,

2061
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:11,800
Speaker 5: they were gonna take the penalties, So he did a

2062
01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:13,240
Speaker 5: really nice job of communicating that.

2063
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:14,760
Speaker 1: What do you think it's gonna be like to see

2064
01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:17,040
Speaker 1: the forty nine er uniforms over there? Because you know,

2065
01:33:17,080 --> 01:33:19,599
Speaker 1: we always talk about you a Texans player and everything.

2066
01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:21,679
Speaker 1: Here you are with the Houston Texans as the head coach,

2067
01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:23,720
Speaker 1: and you had a lot of time spent with the

2068
01:33:23,760 --> 01:33:26,360
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, with a lot of former Texans employees

2069
01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:29,400
Speaker 1: too over there, so that aspect plays as well. What's

2070
01:33:29,400 --> 01:33:30,639
Speaker 1: it gonna be like for you, coach.

2071
01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's gonna be you know, it's gonna be a

2072
01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:36,040
Speaker 5: great time to see some old friends, guys still coaching

2073
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:38,120
Speaker 5: over there, some players I was able to work with,

2074
01:33:38,600 --> 01:33:41,320
Speaker 5: and look, I'm thankful for the organization giving me a

2075
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:45,680
Speaker 5: start in coaching, allowing me to grow, develop and to

2076
01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 5: be where I am right now today. So thankful for them.

2077
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:54,200
Speaker 5: But a game time, it's all Texas. Let's go, Babel

2078
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:55,280
Speaker 5: ready to get after them.

2079
01:33:55,320 --> 01:33:59,760
Speaker 2: That Mark asked you the question about Kyle's offense versus

2080
01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:03,280
Speaker 2: you know, maybe carriers or what Mike Shane hand ran,

2081
01:34:03,439 --> 01:34:03,920
Speaker 2: et cetera.

2082
01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:08,400
Speaker 1: What makes Kyle the play caller as good as he is?

2083
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:11,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the one thing with Kyle is he

2084
01:34:12,439 --> 01:34:14,880
Speaker 5: never stops thinking about a different way to do a

2085
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:17,800
Speaker 5: play right, and so he's always thinking, even though he

2086
01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:20,519
Speaker 5: has his playbook of what he's done in the past,

2087
01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:24,479
Speaker 5: like he's always pushing the envelope of Now you see

2088
01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:27,600
Speaker 5: the other running back starts to bump motion out of

2089
01:34:27,640 --> 01:34:30,040
Speaker 5: the backfield like Kyle kind of started that, and you

2090
01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:33,439
Speaker 5: got the running back just in a weird spot on

2091
01:34:33,479 --> 01:34:35,599
Speaker 5: the field, but he gets a free release and he's

2092
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:38,839
Speaker 5: able to catch a pass. So he's always thinking outside

2093
01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:41,000
Speaker 5: of the box. He's always pushing the envelope, and he's

2094
01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:44,880
Speaker 5: always game planning even up up until kickoff, like.

2095
01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:46,000
Speaker 7: He's changing things.

2096
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:50,840
Speaker 5: He's doing those last minute ass He's always adjusting things.

2097
01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 5: So that's what makes him good at what he does.

2098
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:56,200
Speaker 5: And he's you know, he'll take his time and drive

2099
01:34:56,280 --> 01:34:59,160
Speaker 5: the field right. He doesn't always hunt up the big plays.

2100
01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:02,600
Speaker 5: He'll stick the run, take the short passes, and methodically

2101
01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:03,360
Speaker 5: drive down the field.

2102
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:07,000
Speaker 2: A massive thanks to everybody for tonight's show, to Demico,
