41
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: about here and just give me your thoughts on this

42
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: campaign for you this season as the Texans make the playoffs,

43
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: so much more football to be played. But your assessment

44
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 3: of the way things have gone so far, Yeah, I.

45
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 4: Think when you look at how it's just played out

46
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 4: from week one all the way to where we are,

47
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 4: now looking at the last regular season game of the year.

48
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 5: Man, it's been a long, long journey and.

49
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 4: It's like it's like it's just beginning at the same time,

50
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 4: you know, So all the work that we've done to

51
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 4: put ourselves in this position, we've done a great job

52
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: of that. You know, went through all the adversity early

53
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 4: on in the season and even throughout the season, the

54
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: ways that we found different ways to win. Like, you know,

55
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: no victory has been the exact same, and you know

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 4: it's come with its own challenges, different guys stepping up

57
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 4: throughout the year to put us in a position to

58
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 4: basically start to actually being the first team to put

59
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 4: a ball on a Super Bowl ring. So I think

60
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 4: that's why everybod he's focuses laser it on right now.

61
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: Okay, I want A Zase now to talk to A

62
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: Za's Draft weekend twenty nineteen, and A Z's now says, look, Bro,

63
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,280

00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: To the Pro Bowl.

67
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: Have that conversation with A Z's back on draft weekend.

68
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 5: What would you say, Man, I'm smiling because I got

69
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 5: feel like hearing it.

70
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 4: I still you know, I always still feel like that kid,

71
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: you know that I was, And I think that's kind

72
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: of what keeps me grounded and just the work, because

73
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 4: that's all it was that changed, you know. The only

74
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 4: thing that got me here was the work that I

75
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 4: had to put in, and obviously, you know, just trusting

76
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 4: in God along the way and so many different people

77
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 4: pouring into me.

78
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 5: But man, like, I just so grateful. I think this.

79
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 4: Just always remembering that it's the work, you know, It's

80
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 4: it's not about anything else. And I remember that draft

81
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 4: call with Demiko. After the draft, you know, I signed

82
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: him for agency and I did not want to go there.

83
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 5: I was talking to my mom, you know, talking to you.

84
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 5: I'm like, man, I don't want to go there. Man,

85
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 5: I'm all the way.

86
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 4: I'm from Florida, and Florida kid never left Florida, ye,

87
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 4: So to think I'm going to San Francisco, all on

88
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 4: the other side of the country like I drafted too.

89
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 5: I'm like, man, forget this place.

90
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 4: I remember talking to Chris Kipper and John Lynch, you know,

91
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 4: and then getting on the phone with Tomiko, and he's like, hey, man,

92
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 4: I'm excited to have you, and I'm just I'm talking,

93
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 4: I'm throwing a fit.

94
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 5: I'm just upset, and the whole time is saying like, no, coach,

95
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 5: I'm gonna show y'all.

96
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 6: Man.

97
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 4: He's just sitting on the phone, he's just like okay,

98
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: because he's trying to congratulate me.

99
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 5: Just you know, obviously it's a huge opportunity.

100
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 4: It's probably one of the if I reflect truthfully, it

101
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 4: was one of the most ungrateful moments that I feel

102
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 4: like I had as an adult because at the end

103
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 4: of the day, you know, I asked, you know, as

104
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 4: a kid, if I would have known I was getting

105
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: the opportunity to play in the NFL. As a kid,

106
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have asked did I get drafted?

107
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 5: Or where I go?

108
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 4: But you know, as an adult, as you start to

109
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 4: picture all these things together, you just start to get

110
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 4: caught up in, you know, all the things that don't

111
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: really matter. It's about the opportunity. So I always reflect

112
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 4: back and I'm just grateful that it worked out this

113
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 4: far because there's so many people who who got the opportunity,

114
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 4: who got drafted or whatever. And didn't even make it,

115
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 4: So you know, I really am just grateful to guy

116
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 4: that he didn't, you know, just kind of sit me

117
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 4: down after that. But I think that was just kind

118
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 4: of like a moment for me where I just always reflected,

119
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 4: I'm just so grateful for because me going to San Francisco,

120
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 4: me being around the players and the coaches that I

121
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 4: was around really just helped me develop into the player

122
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 4: and the man that I am.

123
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 5: Now.

124
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: As you've talked about how you've grown and Demico Ryans

125
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 3: has seen you grow and you, guys go way back

126
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: the conversation, the legendary conversation you had in his car

127
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 3: and everything like that, But how have you seen him

128
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: grow from those moments to where he is now year

129
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: three as a head coach, especially this season owing three,

130
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 3: three and five and the ability to keep everybody even

131
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: keeled on the tracks and going where you're going right now.

132
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think the biggest thing is like

133
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 4: he's always been a leader, just through and through. But

134
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 4: I think when you see like how he's leading, he's

135
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 4: a linebacker at the end of the day. So it's

136
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 4: like he has a lot of emotion, a lot of

137
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 4: passion and love for the game of football. And I

138
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 4: think the thing that I've seen the most with him

139
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 4: is just like how kind of like patient and even

140
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 4: kill he's been Because when we were you know, I

141
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 4: was younger, obviously he was younger too, a younger coacher,

142
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 4: a younger coach at the time. You know, you can

143
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 4: see like his emotions is just all on his sleeve

144
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: sometimes where like he's yelling at me and Drake Greenlaw

145
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 4: because we mess something up or you know, just like

146
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 4: I feel like he's just so like just like a

147
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 4: rock now, Like I think that's the biggest difference is

148
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 4: you know, he's always been a leader, but like the

149
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 4: way that he leads, he could tell he's just unfazed

150
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 4: as opposed to like maybe you might get a little

151
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 4: bit more out of him, you know, if things weren't

152
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 4: going right or ever, Like I feel like I could

153
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 4: see like on his face when he was like frustrated

154
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 4: or upset, whether it was with me or somebody else

155
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 4: Whereas now like, no matter what's going on, he's just

156
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 4: like a rock. And you know, as a leader of

157
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 4: an organization now, like you know, everybody is looking to you.

158
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 4: I think we think about somebody on the plane if

159
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 4: the you know, the pilot flying the plane is like, hey, guys,

160
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 4: we got some turbulence. I don't know if I'm if

161
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be able to land the plane or not.

162
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 4: Like everybody on the plane is going to freak out.

163
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 4: But when you know, the pilot gets on and he's

164
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 4: all cool about it, Oh, we got some turbulence. That

165
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 4: would be about ten to fifteen minutes, and then we'll

166
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 4: be able to take your seatbelts off again. Even if

167
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 4: it really is bad, nobody will think it's bad because

168
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 4: they're like, oh, yeah, okay, he said, he said, we're good.

169
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 4: I f like that's how That's how Coachamiko is where

170
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 4: he he just makes sure he keeps everybody mind in

171
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 4: the right place and and keeps everybody came because.

172
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: He's I want to go back to seven fourteenth. I

173
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: believe that was the night we're in Kansas City. Defense

174
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: is put on a prety good show. I had a

175
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: couple of picks already got up on them. Second to ten,

176
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: play ball, start the Travis Kelce. It pops up in

177
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: the air.

178
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 5: I want to know what.

179
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: You're thinking about that particular moment as the ball is

180
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: very close to your hands, and then you reach up

181
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: and snag it and realize you've gotten the interception you've

182
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: been looking for. You got in a big moment and

183
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: we're going to beat the Chiefs. What were you thinking

184
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: about in that particular moment? First of all, take us

185
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: through the play what you saw, how you got to

186
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: the ball, and then afterwards what you felt, because I

187
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: could see it like you were. I mean, we were

188
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: all happy that you caught one.

189
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 2: That was good.

190
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: I've heard you talk about that. There's been a few

191
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: there going through your hands. But take us to that moment,

192
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: if you will.

193
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 4: Man, I like, just man like, I still get excited

194
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 4: and happy because you know, it's just it's just such

195
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 4: a blessing, especially like how the year prior in the playoffs,

196
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 4: you know, unfolded and you know, for me personally, where

197
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 4: I was dealing with at that time, to you know,

198
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 4: a year later, be in that position and just still

199
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 4: gives me just goosebum. I was just like, man like,

200
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 4: God is so amazing and just when you just trust

201
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: you know his plan and not yours, the things that

202
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 4: can happen for you are you know, just so great.

203
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 4: But going through that play, you know, I was just

204
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 4: dropping back kind of in my zone, and I'm seeing Kelsey,

205
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 4: you know, I'm thinking he's gonna still run down the scene,

206
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 4: so that's when I have to take him. But when

207
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 4: he outbreaks, I'm technically not supposed to be over there.

208
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 5: But when he.

209
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 4: Broke out, I just like the timing of the play

210
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: and everything, so I just started to drive it and

211
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 4: then I look and I see the ball being thrown

212
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 4: as well, so I'm really just getting ready to go

213
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 4: and try to make a play on it. After he

214
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 4: catches it, I'm thinking he's gonna catch it, I'm gonna

215
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 4: try to tackle it or punch it out. And then

216
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 4: I just see the ball just get bombled up and

217
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: like it was like slow motion but all happening so

218
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 4: fast at the same time, and I just grabbed the

219
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 4: ball and Miles hit him and me, so I just

220
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 4: follow the ground and just hold the ball. And then

221
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 4: when I just hear Jalen Petrie, he's just in my ear.

222
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 5: He's like I said, you going.

223
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 4: Him and Henry are literally just like in my ear, like,

224
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 4: bro get up, get up, and I get up, and

225
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 4: I'm just like just so happy, and it's so funny,

226
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 4: you know. One of the equipment guys that we have.

227
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 4: We call him Red. And I remember when I dropped

228
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 4: the last interception I had dropped whatever week. It was

229
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 4: a couple weeks prior to that. You know, he had

230
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 4: told me after the game because I was so upset

231
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 4: with myself against the Bills, and yeah, and I was

232
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 4: happy for Caylen. I was just more mad at myself

233
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 4: for a drop. I was happy that he caught it

234
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: and somebody caught it. I'm like, dang, like I still

235
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 4: haven't caught one. And I remember after the game, I'm

236
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 4: sitting in the locker room and he's sitting there and

237
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 4: he grabbed Me's like his ease, man.

238
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 5: Watch.

239
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 4: I know you're gonna get your pick, but it's gonna

240
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 4: be in a huge moment when we needed the most.

241
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 4: And you know, weeks later, have that come up in

242
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 4: a huge moment when we needed the most. After I

243
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 4: got you know, all the you know, excitement and everything out,

244
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 4: and me and him just look at each other because

245
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 4: I ended up giving him the ball to hold for

246
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 4: the rest of the game, He's like, I told you.

247
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 5: And it was just like the most happiest moment of

248
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 5: my life.

249
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 4: Is like wow, like this guy really sat there and

250
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 4: it's like just trying to console me in the moment

251
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 4: and really believe that, and it ended up happening.

252
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: Well.

253
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 3: The one against the Chargers was another huge moment. I mean,

254
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: if you don't get that one, who knows what happens?

255
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: So that was that was awesome. Is he's what's it

256
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: like to wear the green dot? You have to call

257
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 3: the plays, get the signal in and how hectic does

258
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 3: that get? How close are we to not getting the

259
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 3: call in? I mean you're like a quarterback of the defense.

260
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 3: You get a lot of weapons to work with, but

261
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 3: you want to make sure everybody's lined up right. How

262
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: difficult does that take us? Inside a little bit?

263
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, it's actually very tough because I remember as

264
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 4: a rookie when I i'm you know, you hear about

265
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 4: the microphones and the headsets that you get to have

266
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 4: in your helmet, and at the time, you know, now

267
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 4: they got in college, but back then they didn't. So

268
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: when you hear that, you're like, oh wow, it's like

269
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: probably like talking on the cell phone.

270
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 5: It's clear you can hear everything.

271
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 4: And then for the first practice I'm hearing it and

272
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 4: I'm like, what what did you say? It's so muffled

273
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 4: because it's the radio, so you actually have to like

274
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: be locked in really ears open, because even as loud

275
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 4: as it gets through the headset, it's actually hard to

276
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 4: kind of hear some of the words sometimes. So like

277
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 4: we got some weird calls that sound like other calls.

278
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 4: Like even going back to the Chargers game last year

279
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, Demico had called up us one play.

280
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 4: I thought he was saying something else, and I'm like,

281
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 4: he told me he wouldn't call that play. So I

282
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 4: ended up calling a different play on my own, thinking

283
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 4: that maybe he had just made a mistake or something.

284
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 4: And then we got to pick six Eric Murray's pick

285
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 4: six where you see the part with showing me.

286
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 5: Like, I'm.

287
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 4: So when he's sitting there on the sideline on the

288
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 4: micd up where he's like, you're gonna be a defensive coordinator.

289
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 4: That's why he said that because I called the play

290
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 4: that he didn't call, because I was like, oh, he

291
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 4: told me he would never call this play, and he

292
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 4: actually did try to call that one, but I was like,

293
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: I got to be hearing something, so I'm just gonna

294
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 4: call this other play, and so I called a different

295
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 4: play and then we get the pick six and it's like, oh,

296
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 4: you didn't want that.

297
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I guess you do now, So it worked

298
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 5: out exactly.

299
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 4: So I mean, honestly, it's so much that goes into

300
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 4: it because you have to make sure that you're listening

301
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 4: on top of that when they're going on the clock,

302
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 4: like even throughout the games, you know, you're going no

303
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: huddle and stuff like that, and they're on the clock fast,

304
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 4: but I get the call and it shuts off after

305
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 4: a certain time. So sometimes if they're looking through the

306
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 4: plays and they're trying to get get us in the

307
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 4: perfect play, but then the thing will shut off, it's like, oh,

308
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 4: like I gotta either try to remember the last end

309
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 4: of the call or just come up with you know,

310
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 4: kind of no huddle calls that we already have planned

311
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 4: out throughout the week. So it's definitely a lot of

312
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 4: like managing just the game itself and just kind of

313
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 4: like a feel for when to kind of listen to

314
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 4: what the coaches are saying and kind of like okay,

315
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 4: like you know, sometimes it'll be like.

316
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 5: Hey tell them to play man coverage.

317
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 4: It's already man, so I'm not gonna be like, hey,

318
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 4: make sure, you're playing man like you know a lot

319
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 4: of time, it's just like coaches kind of anxiety, I

320
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 4: guess or whatever. So it's just decipher and when and

321
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 4: when not to I guess say what the coaches are telling.

322
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 5: Me to say.

323
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: Well, he's great to visit with you. Congratulate all the

331
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: on Texans All Access Tean everybody, welcome back to this

332
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: Friday edition of Texans All Access.

333
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: Happy New Year.

334
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: If you weren't with us yesterday when we had wished

335
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: you a happy New Year, Happy New Year to everybody.

336
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: Hopefully you enjoyed that interview with ziz al Shire.

337
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 2: We had an absolute blast with him.

338
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not gonna even try and pronounce what Shane

339
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: Steiking called him. I think it was Shazer thought he

340
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: was Ryan Shazer. I guess he had no clue how

341
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: to say, is zizel Shire. I understand that sometimes coach

342
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: is just no numbers. Coaches are notoriously terrible with names.

343
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: Notoris ever trust a coach with a name pronunciation. For instance,

344
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: doing games over the year, Coach, how do you pronounce

345
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: the name of number fifty three? No, never asked the coach.

346
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: They come up with nicknames. They'll get a name.

347
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 3: Wrong for years, literally, So you don't trust the coach

348
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 3: and stichen all he's thinking about is that guy's number

349
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 3: is zero zero. Yeah, that's all he cares about.

350
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: That's it. It's all he cares about.

351
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 7: You know who.

352
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: Actually, there are two people that I've seen over the

353
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: years that know opponents and know their names and know.

354
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 2: More about them than anybody.

355
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: And they work together for about twenty years, Bill Belichick

356
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: and Nick Casario. Whenever Belichick would do his bellustrator and

357
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: he would be doing a scouting reporting of their team,

358
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: he knew everybody.

359
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: He knew everybody.

360
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: He could circle a guy and go, this is Togyi,

361
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: this is nik Wan Jones, like he knew their names

362
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: of everybody that he was looking at. And Nick is

363
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: the same way. That's why when we started asking him

364
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: to do the scouting report, I felt like it was

365
00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: a good thing because he knew everybody, the names, positions,

366
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: you know how much they played.

367
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: I mean, he knew everything about him.

368
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: Those are the two that I've I've heard over the

369
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: years that are the best when it comes to like

370
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: knowing an opposing team's name.

371
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 3: It's really good prep for me. Actually when we have

372
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: Nick on because we record that full disclosure on Tuesdays

373
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 3: and I'll be thinking, Okay, I'm getting to know the

374
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 3: team through Nick here. It's kind of like remember Blue

375
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 3: Ribbon Basketball and we come out before the tournament. Yeah, yeah,

376
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 3: and you'd have all these teams and you just want

377
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 3: to know about the team. It has the starters, I think,

378
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: elements of the season, who was in, who was out

379
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 3: during specific runs and trends, and Nick gives you all

380
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 3: that in the scouting report. So we are that Wednesday

381
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: nights right here, or you can catch it on YouTube

382
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 3: usually Tuesday night Wednesday at some point.

383
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can see our Aziz al Shire interview

384
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: on YouTube as well if you missed it.

385
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: It was it was fantastic.

386
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: We given time we could have gone on for we

387
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: could have done a whole show.

388
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: We could have done a whole show every week.

389
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know how many people in Houston

390
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: actually know his his full story.

391
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: And if you.

392
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: Don't, I would encourage you because we talked about it

393
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: on the show a lot.

394
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: You know a lot of people that do know it.

395
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: But if you don't know his story, especially when he

396
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: was younger, you know, just go back and look at it.

397
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about him being undrafted. It's funny

398
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: because back in so he got drafted.

399
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: In twenty nineteen.

400
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: So twenty eighteen season, it was the junior season for

401
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: a running back at Florida Atlantic by the name of

402
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. In Devin's sophomore year in twenty seventeen, he

403
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: had thirty two touchdowns thirty two rushing touchdowns. So the

404
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: opening was the opening game or the second game of

405
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: the eighteen season, I believe, and I'm watching and Fau

406
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: were going defense, and then I would kind of work

407
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: on whatever, and I kept hearing him say al Shire,

408
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: al Shire, and I remembered at that point, I remember

409
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: Dame Brugler had told me about you know, Fau I

410
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: had a couple of players, you know, Devin Singletary, and

411
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: then they got a linebacker all Shire as he's all Shire,

412
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: and I thought, okay, And so I see him and

413
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, okay, that's I remember. That's the guy

414
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: Dan told me about. All Right, let's watch him a

415
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: little bit and I was like, man, this guy's pretty good.

416
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: Then he goes undrafted, which I thought was kind of strange.

417
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, Fau linebacker, he's not the biggest guy.

418
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it's right, but he was so forthright about

419
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: not being happy about you having to choose to go

420
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: to the San Francisco forty nine ers and me. You

421
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: think about it now and you think, who would be

422
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,239
Speaker 1: unhappy to go to San Francisco forty nine ers. Well,

423
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: a kid from Florida, right, And yet he goes, and

424
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: it probably was the best thing to happen for It

425
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: ends up with the perfect linebacker coach, perfect perfect linebacker coach,

426
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: perfect defense, perfect linebackers around him, Fred Warner, Drag Greenlaw.

427
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: Those guys around him were hugely instrumental. I mean, and

428
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: he's just gotten better and better. And when you think

429
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: about you're undrafted in twenty nineteen six years later, and

430
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: even before that. I mean he was a Captain of Defense,

431
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, as he came here in twenty twenty four.

432
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: But twenty twenty five he's Walter Payton Man of the

433
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: Year nominee. He is a pro bowler and all that

434
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: coming from being in being on drafted. He's a good

435
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: guy Award for the media. I mean, it's just incredible

436
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: where he's come from. But that's just this part of

437
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: the story. That's just the professional life part of the story.

438
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: Go back and read his his life story. Yeah, it's unbelievable.

439
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: We got a really good dose of it in a

440
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: production media a couple of years ago, and he was

441
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: in there with us, I think for about forty five minutes,

442
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: and when he left, all of us were like, we

443
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: just want to hug him.

444
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: We just want to hug him.

445
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: What he had been through and what he got to

446
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: such a good perspective on life as well. And I

447
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: always think that's interesting to listen to him speak. We

448
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: were questioning our life choices. Have we done enough? Have

449
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: we really done enough?

450
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 3: Yes?

451
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

452
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 3: Listening to him, yes absolutely.

453
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,479
Speaker 1: I asked you this last week, so I'm gona ask

454
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: you this again. For this one, what are your vibes?

455
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: I mean, then going to LA was kind of easy

456
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: in a sense. It was like, look, we got to

457
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: win this one to get a playoffs, So vibes are

458
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: we better get it done? Yeah, this one we don't

459
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: need it. We have guys that are banged up. Of course,

460
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: going to Week eighteen, everybody's got guys banged up. The

461
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: Colts have already they have already ruled out sass Gardner, right,

462
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: he's already out. We know that Philip Rivers is not

463
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: going to start, so they're starting Riley Leonard for the

464
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: first time.

465
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: So the vibe on their side is weird in a sense.

466
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: Good, they want to win, but they'll other guys playing,

467
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: and I mean, their guys don't have to save themselves.

468
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: For Week nineteen, the Texans do, what's your vibe going

469
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: into this.

470
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: One on Sunday? Well, I told you earlier in the

471
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 3: week the vibe was weird because of everything you just said.

472
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm going back to Week eighteen last year.

473
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 3: I know it was a different context. You had already

474
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 3: clinched the division literally, so you didn't need the game

475
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 3: at all, Right, but what was important about that game?

476
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 3: To Demiico Ryans, he did play the starters briefly. And

477
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 3: you know, I say the starters like you're pulling all

478
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 3: twenty two guys out of the game. No, he played

479
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 3: the starters and then he pulled guys out as the

480
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 3: game war on, right, and I expect something similar. But

481
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 3: the reason why I bring that one up and you'll

482
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 3: hear it in the Demico interview is because he set

483
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 3: the tone for the postseason and they were coming off

484
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 3: back to back losses and he said, this is not acceptable,

485
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 3: this is not what we do. Let's have a great

486
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 3: week of preparation and go win a football game. And

487
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 3: that's what they did against Tennessee last year.

488
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: That's a great point.

489
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 3: Now against the Colts this year, I think he feels

490
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 3: the same. Let's go within a football game at home,

491
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 3: play well, great habits, great prep, no matter who is playing.

492
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 3: And I say it like that because I can't really

493
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 3: tell you how he's going to handle it. I would

494
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 3: imagine he starts quote the starters, But like you and

495
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: I said, everybody's hanging by a thread, including guys who

496
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 3: are not ruled out for this one, who are questionable,

497
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 3: maybe even have no injury designation. But you know they're

498
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 3: playing through some stuff, right, So certain guys and I

499
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 3: can't even tell you who they are, necessarily will not

500
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 3: play in this one because of that, Because you don't

501
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 3: have to have it. It's not a desperation game, but

502
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 3: it's a we got to play well game. We want

503
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 3: to play well. We will play well, and I believe

504
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 3: that he'll pull guys out as the game goes on.

505
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 3: But I also know this. They have the depth Johnny.

506
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 3: This is a depth team, and it's been tested and

507
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 3: it's been used and it's going to be used again

508
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 3: on Sunday. And I think the Colts are going to

509
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 3: bring whatever they got because they want to get a

510
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: winning season. But it is Riley Leonard starting, and I

511
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 3: think that's a huge factor of this one. No Sauce,

512
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 3: no Buckner. They still have enough players on defense to

513
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 3: do damage. They took the ball away from Jacksonville last week.

514
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 3: That's a big factor to me. Jacksonville had been taking

515
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 3: great care of the football going into that game, and

516
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, wait a minute, you get two picks.

517
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, Jamaine Pratt in the end zone. That was

518
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: a big one, right for that huge.

519
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 3: One Pratt's pick was a huge one and you know,

520
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 3: Colts what it could have should have. We rooted for

521
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 3: the Colts last week. We obviously will not this week.

522
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 3: But that's my vibe. It's go play well. I really

523
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 3: feel like they feel this way. They are not going

524
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 3: to go into this thing like, oh, it's a preseason

525
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 3: game four routine and we're gonna revt back up next

526
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: week and when they take the field, they want to

527
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 3: be great. It's a weird situation, but they're gonna make

528
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 3: the most of it and then get ready for next week.

529
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: I very curious. The inactors come out in ninety minutes

530
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: before kickoff, So kickoffs at noon, which it is ten thirty,

531
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: and I usually get the inactives. I send them to everybody,

532
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: uh in the broadcast booth. I usually get those, you

533
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: know first for everybody else. I'm very curious what that

534
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: list is going to look like.

535
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 3: Well, you're gonna get a big clue on Saturday when

536
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 3: the practice squad elevations come out. That's true, because it's true.

537
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 3: It's good poll they elevate, because that'll give you a clue.

538
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 3: Wait to waite it. If they elevate player why they

539
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 3: might sit player x right, that'll be a good tell

540
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 3: tale as to what they're gonna do Sunday.

541
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 1: As you said, Rod Wright said something that stuck with

542
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: me though we asked him about the defensive line, talking

543
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: about you know guys, you know they rotate a lot

544
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: of guys.

545
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 2: They bring guys in.

546
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: You have guys that are quote unquote starters, and then

547
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: they bring in guys and then they get in their

548
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: pass rush group that includes Willing to Neil and Sheldon

549
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: and typically did de Gautry, And he said, when guys

550
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: go into game, nake Wan Jones, Lucky fo two, whoever

551
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: else they're gonna put in the game, after the starters,

552
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: after togy I ranks, but it applies to Togya rankins

553
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: as well. And just talking about interior defensive lineman, he said,

554
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: there's a standard that they have to meet. Yes, that

555
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: those guys are gonna go on a field and if

556
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: they're not living up to the standard, they're gonna hear

557
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: about it. Not only from Rod Right, their coach, not

558
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: only from Dimico Riants, their head coach, Matt Burke, their

559
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. They're gonna hear about from their teammates, right,

560
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: he said, this, they will stick out like a sore.

561
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 3: They'll be very visible in their lack of production and

562
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 3: effort if that's the case. So they will produce, they

563
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: will have great effort. And I thought the way he

564
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 3: said it was so good, Johnny, I thought it applied

565
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 3: to everything. If you run a sales department or anything

566
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 3: in life, you can say this to your employees. You

567
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 3: don't do things that meet our standard, you will stand

568
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 3: out not doing that, and it'll be very easy to

569
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 3: eliminate you based on those things. So these guys come

570
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 3: in here, I better be great. These guys are all great.

571
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 3: These guys are all on board. Can you imagine being laky? Photo?

572
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 3: I want to get them on the air by the way,

573
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 3: I actually it's going to continue to play because the

574
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 3: way the injury situation is. Photo is going to be

575
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 3: a part of this thing.

576
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: Has to be.

577
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 3: Just to get his take on coming into this building. Drop,

578
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 3: you're airlifted, air dropped in the middle of a playoff

579
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 3: run and you're part of the clinching moment and here

580
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 3: we go. It is on for you to be part

581
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 3: of this thing going into the postseason. It's going to

582
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 3: be very exciting. And I want to get his take

583
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 3: on the room, but everything else We've heard guys who

584
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 3: joined the team in the offseason. Man, this is special here,

585
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 3: these guys here, this is special. They all talked about it. Well,

586
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: we're seeing it now. You know. It still amazes me.

587
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 3: You talk about eleven wins and you still have a

588
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 3: chance at twelve from where we were from oh to three.

589
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 3: And look, I knew they were a better team than

590
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 3: Owen three, but I didn't know about eleven possibly twelve.

591
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 3: I didn't know if that was out there because I

592
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 3: knew the schedule was so tough. And yeah, look at

593
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 3: them now. This is a really big testimony as far

594
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,719
Speaker 3: as what Demico Ryans has built here. You brought up

595
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 3: Azase earlier, Demico coaching linebackers in San Francisco. You know what,

596
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 3: everything he's been put in charge of has gotten better.

597
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 3: Linebacking core in San Francisco, defense in San Francisco, Houston,

598
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 3: Texans as a head coach, and it's going to continue

599
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 3: to grow from there. That's why I asked Disease about

600
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 3: his growth. What about Dimico's growth. We all talk about

601
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 3: your growth as a player, what about Dimeico's growth as

602
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 3: a coach. You've observed it from the embryonic stages, if

603
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: you will, to where it is right now.

604
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

605
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: I love listening to Rod as the representative of the

606
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: defensive line say what he had to say. But I

607
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: feel like it could have been any group that kind

608
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: of applies. And I bring that up because this is

609
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: one of those weeks in which, well, you know, look

610
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: we're in the playoffs, you know, just just just get by,

611
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: you know, just let's just get by this game.

612
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 2: We don't really need it. But that's not the way

613
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 2: they think. No, that's not the way that in that

614
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: locker room they're.

615
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: Thinking about this particular game or on it to the

616
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: future preseason game.

617
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 3: Yeah it is.

618
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: There is a clock, there is an opposing team. We're

619
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: putting on our game jerseys. We're going to win the

620
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: damn game. And I feel like that. I feel comforted

621
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: in that because I think about, man, I just want

622
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: to be healthy.

623
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 2: I just want to be healthy.

624
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: And look, I know I know that there there is

625
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: always trepid a about injuries or whatever the case might be.

626
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: But Nick and Dimiko have always said, look, we'll figure

627
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: it out. See Straw goes down for three games that

628
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: figured it out. Davis Mills. Let's go give him a

629
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: game plan. Let's go rock, Let's go do it. Let's

630
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: get it done. And that gives me comfort going into

631
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: this game because I as they might head an a pillow.

632
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: I think about, God, just just get through this game.

633
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 2: Just get through this game.

634
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: And it's like, you know what, let's take something out

635
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: of this game that we can then apply to the playoffs.

636
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: You know, let's let guys like Lecky Foe two, you know,

637
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers. You know, let's get Jalon Noel a few

638
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: more touches. You know, let's see what we can do.

639
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: You know, offensive line, how many these guys can we

640
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: play Jared Kingston? Can we get him a few more

641
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: reps so that if he has to go into a

642
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: game in the playoffs, he's ready to go. And you know,

643
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: Blake Fisher, I think is a great example of that.

644
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's one of the things I said about

645
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: making the sixth sole lignement that because he's had reps

646
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: of play in that role, if he had to go

647
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: in at tackle, he's had those reps that if he

648
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: can step in at tackle, then maybe it won't feel

649
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: as foreign and he can have a pretty good adjustment period,

650
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: and I felt like against the Chargers he did.

651
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 3: As you're talking, I'm thinking, having said everything we just

652
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 3: said about got to win no matter who's on the field,

653
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, if I'm Demiko Ryans, I am sitting twelve,

654
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 3: I am sitting twenty four, Yes, sitting.

655
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 2: You are not certain, guys.

656
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 3: I will not risk it. There is way more importance

657
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 3: to the following week.

658
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: I understand.

659
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 3: But you do take the field with a football team

660
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 3: and they will ball out. Well, I want to ask

661
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 3: you this because look, we get debate that back and forth.

662
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 3: We'll all see it together Sunday at noon. The Colt's perspective,

663
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 3: what's their vibe? What's the vibe? Okay, royal blue? Because

664
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 3: you know that Black Monday could be coming for certain

665
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 3: members of the organization, right, so I'm or black Sunday night.

666
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 5: I don't know.

667
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 3: These days, it's like on the plane, right, you're getting reports.

668
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

669
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: So before we got on a plane in twenty seventeen,

670
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: Rick Smith's statement was out about him stepping away.

671
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so these things happen. Yeah, and now they're

672
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 3: here wrap it up a disastrous even if they went

673
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 3: on Sunday disastrous finished to this season, so I wonder

674
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 3: what their vibe is coming in.

675
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: I think their vibe is a let's get Jonathan Taylor

676
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: the rushing title. B Let's let's give Riley Leonard a

677
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: game plan that we would give to him regardless of

678
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: whether he was the starter in week eighteen or the

679
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: starter in week five, and let's see how he responds.

680
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: Let's just give him the keys to the car and

681
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: see if he crashes it or he drives it pretty

682
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: well in spots. It's gonna be a pretty tough course

683
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna be on. And then I would just want

684
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: to see a team that competes. The season's over. There's

685
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: no Butckner, there's no Sauce Gardner, there's no Daniel Jones.

686
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: But are you guys going to compete a full sixty

687
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: minutes against a team that's going to the playoffs? Is

688
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor gonna get the rushing title? I just feel

689
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: like that's a team that's gonna show up. That's always

690
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: been the mo of Stiching. They play hard BALLAD brings

691
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: in guys that play hard.

692
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: But I I'm more so.

693
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: Interested in what happens, Like you said after the game, yeah,

694
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: what happens after this one is you know, reading the

695
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 1: article about Carlie ers Gordon, she made a comment about change.

696
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 3: I saw that and it hit me.

697
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 2: I was like, now, how much change?

698
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 3: Right? Do you shake the whole thing up? Philip Rivers

699
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 3: head coach?

700
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: That even don't even go there because.

701
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 3: It reminds me of something. Never mind, well, it reminds

702
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 3: me of Jeff Saturday being named the coach that too

703
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 3: many years ago.

704
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 2: So it could definitely happen.

705
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: Now we've talked about Timiko Ryans enough, why don't we

706
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: hear from him? He sat with Mark to give us

707
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: his thoughts on this one against the Colts.

708
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 3: Coach. I harkened back to Week eighteen last year. I

709
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 3: don't know two years are alike, but that game didn't

710
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 3: quote matter. But you were very clear, have to play well,

711
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 3: have to win, set the tone no matter who you're playing,

712
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 3: This game is far more important. What about that? To

713
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 3: get better and be at your best in Week eight team?

714
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 5: Always important for me to go out and end on

715
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 5: a high note, end the season on a high note.

716
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 5: Last game, great game. We wanted right, patch yourself on

717
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 5: the back. No, we gotta come out, We got to

718
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 5: improve some things, and that's what I'm looking forward to

719
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 5: this game. We got to go out improve, especially offensively,

720
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 5: some of the third down pressures and things that we've got.

721
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 5: We got to show that we fix those things, and

722
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 5: this is a great week to do it.

723
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: So last week the Colts, the return game was highly

724
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 3: effective kickoff returns with Duelan and in special teams, this

725
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 3: is a dangerous team.

726
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 5: Very dangerous team. Dulan is one of the best special

727
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 5: teams players I've seen all year. Dynamic, not as only

728
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 5: as a returner, but also as a gunner on kickoff.

729
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 5: He's a dynamic player, very disruptive. So we have to

730
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 5: make sure like we have to double him. We have

731
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 5: to double him to make sure we're taking him out

732
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 5: of the game. Kickoff, we can't kick the ball to him.

733
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 5: We want to kick it to the other guy to

734
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 5: make it as hard as possible for him. He was

735
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 5: the only reason those guys had an opportunity to play

736
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 5: in that game last week and have a chance to

737
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 5: win because he returned two of the kick returns out

738
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 5: to the past the fifty yard line. So we have

739
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 5: to do a great job of covering.

740
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 3: We wanted the coach to win last week. Want them

741
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 3: to lose this week, But last week they took the

742
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 3: ball away from the Jaguars, and the Jaguars were very

743
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 3: sharpened that department coming into that game. You have to

744
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 3: be careful with their defense, right.

745
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 5: Yeah. Our offense has done a great job all year

746
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 5: of protecting the football, being one of the top teams

747
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 5: in the league, and we just have to continue that trend.

748
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 5: Make sure we're protecting it at all costs, not giving

749
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 5: them any freebies, any opportunities to have any hope in

750
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 5: his game. All right?

751
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 3: Now, what about Riley Leonard, He's a rookie. Don't they

752
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 3: have that unpredictable element. You never know what they're gonna do, right.

753
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 5: They do have the element. The one thing I know

754
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 5: about Riley he's athletics, So I would expect at some

755
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 5: point probably be some type of QB run game, all right,

756
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 5: that Shane likes he had with Anthony Richardson before. Got

757
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 5: to anticipate if it is, you know, there's some space

758
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 5: in the pocket, he may try to escape the pocket

759
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 5: as well. So we have to do a great job

760
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 5: rushing as far as a D line, do a great

761
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 5: job of staying back and plastering and coverage with our secondary,

762
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 5: and we just got to make sure the looks are

763
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 5: as difficult as possible for him. Young quarterback coming out

764
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 5: is going to be challenging for him versus our defense

765
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 5: if we play our defense the right way.

766
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 3: What else is important to you in this game? The

767
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 3: regular season finale?

768
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, the most important thing for me in this game

769
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 5: is you know the situational moments, right, it's third down,

770
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 5: is red zone, it's fourth down, those situational moments, it's

771
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 5: two minute and a half. Like, are we coming out

772
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 5: and improving those things? Those haven't been great for us?

773
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 5: So I want to see our team really focused on

774
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 5: the situations, executing the moment, make communicating the right way,

775
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 5: I mean, getting the stops when we need to get

776
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 5: the stops, moving the ball in a two minute situation,

777
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 5: and finishing with points. I want to see us improve

778
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 5: on those areas as a team. We come out there,

779
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,959
Speaker 5: I feel like we're going to be much better heading

780
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 5: to the playoffs.

781
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 3: Coach, thanks a lot, good luck, Thanks Martin.

782
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: All right, great stuff from dem go right, and of

783
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: course our own Mark Vandermergreg Bailey for maybe see thirteen

784
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 1: caught up with a guy who had a tremendous game

785
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: last Saturday.

786
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 2: Have to do it again on Sunday.

787
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: Henry Tootoo Jmiko talked to us specifically about your great

788
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: game in LA against the Chargers, said, you were disappointed

789
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: with some of the stuff you put on tape against

790
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders. How do you kind of process that and

791
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: then put together the effort that produces twelve tackles and

792
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: you're seemingly everywhere you need to be defensively.

793
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 8: I think just ability to be able to move on.

794
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 8: I was like that whole week that Raiders game bothered me.

795
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 8: It really was kind of an embarrassing and full performance

796
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 8: on my end, Like that's exactly how I felt. But

797
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 8: just having that like next play mentality, having my coaches

798
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 8: cilliing on my players, but like you know, most point

799
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 8: in my family was there to lean upon. But man,

800
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 8: I think it just all goes back to doing our job,

801
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 8: doing my job and doing my one twelve so that

802
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 8: my one eleven so that we can all perform and

803
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 8: have the excellent defense that we have.

804
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 9: Your reads were spectacular, some of the passes out of

805
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 9: the backfield of their running backs other players. You were

806
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 9: constantly where you were supposed to be against the Chargers.

807
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 9: What kind of study goes into that making that happen?

808
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,320
Speaker 8: A lot just kind of seeing tennessees and then trusting

809
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 8: the game plan obviously that the coaches put together. But

810
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 8: then I feel like a lot of it is believing

811
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 8: in yourself, having confidence in yourself that you will make

812
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 8: the players that come your way, and trusting what you studied.

813
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 9: How important is it to maintain the standard, maintain the

814
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 9: momentum with a good performance against the Colts this week?

815
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 5: Man, we got to go out with a bang.

816
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 8: Eighteen games on the schedule and then like we're here

817
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 8: to play all of them, and you know, we know

818
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 8: it's at stake, but you know, being able to create

819
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 8: momentum going into the playoffs, play our brand of football,

820
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 8: and we're here to do that every weekend, week out,

821
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 8: no matter who we're playing, and we're excited for the challenge.

822
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 9: Is it difficult to focus at all given that you've

823
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 9: clinched the playoff spot, their scenarios, all these things. Is

824
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 9: that tough or is it just business as usual?

825
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 5: As business as usual?

826
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 8: Like I feel like for an ordinary team it'll be tough.

827
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 8: But I feel like the group of guys on the

828
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 8: coaches that we have in here. We have some extreme

829
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 8: goals and we understand this and we understand, you know,

830
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 8: the work it has to take to be able to

831
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 8: get there. So I feel like we're far from from

832
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 8: that mindset.

833
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 9: Your teammatedj Speed just told me the defense likes to

834
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 9: be introduced pregame.

835
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: Is that a cool moment for you at Energent Stadium?

836
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 8: I want him to say, you know, whatever, we get

837
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 8: to run out in the crowdstam for y'all.

838
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 3: Man.

839
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 8: It's a great feeling. But you know, I like looking

840
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 8: at from a prospective of my family. You know, I

841
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 8: feel like my family's been through so much and being

842
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 8: able to see me run out that sun of being

843
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 8: able to represent myself, my family, but also everybody that

844
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 8: sacrifices me to be here.

845
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: I have a great one against the Colts.

846
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 1: Thanks all right, great stuff from both of those two Jetsumen.

847
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: Now it's time to dive deep like deep deep X's

848
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: and O's type deep.

849
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 2: We got modella matchups.

850
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: We got matches firm sleepers right here in our game preview.

851
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 3: Game preview. The Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts battling

852
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 3: Sunday regular season finale in RG Stadium Noonkick, Johnny. This

853
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 3: is a bit of a weird one because the Texans

854
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 3: already in they have a chance to win division, but

855
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 3: they need the Jags to lose to Tennessee, and Tennessee

856
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 3: a big underdog in that game. So you wonder how

857
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 3: they're gonna handle the situation. If Jacksonville is a big lead,

858
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 3: do guys start to sit I don't know. We'll all

859
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 3: find out together on Sunday.

860
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: It is a weird one from that standpoint. I mean,

861
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: if you just had to win and you won the division,

862
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: I think you'd be full on, let's go win the

863
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: football game.

864
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 2: But if you win and the Jags win.

865
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: Well, you still end up where you could ended up

866
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: if you lost the game as well. I think with

867
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: Tamiko Ryans, you're gonna play to win a game. As

868
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: Herman Edwards would say, you're gonna play to win every game,

869
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: and I.

870
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 2: Think that's what they're gonna do.

871
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: I do think there will be a few selected guys

872
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: that have been banged up that might need an extra week.

873
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: This might be that opportunity to kind of cut their

874
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: plays in half, maybe cut their plays one hundred percent

875
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 1: and just let them watch, So I'm gonna be interested

876
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 1: to see how the Texans come out in this one

877
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday. But the expectation is still to go win

878
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: the football game and get twelve wins, which would be

879
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: the highest record in Texas history.

880
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 3: Tied for it, right, twelve wins in twenty twelve. You

881
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 3: get twelve wins in this season if you beat the

882
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 3: Colts and the Medello matchup. As far as I see it,

883
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 3: it's still about Jonathan Taylor with the Colts because Riley

884
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 3: Leonard getting the start. We could talk about him, but

885
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 3: it's stopped Jonathan Taylor time once again. And down the

886
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 3: stretch here, even when Daniel Jones was still playing but

887
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 3: on the bad leg, it was starting to slow down

888
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 3: for Taylor. But you mentioned this on our weekly daily

889
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 3: talk shows on Sports Radio six to ten. You said

890
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 3: they still want to get him the rushing title. They

891
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 3: still have a chance to do that for Taylor.

892
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Taylor's going to get the rock. And

893
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 1: it reminds me of twenty nineteen. Now, at twenty nineteen,

894
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: we were playing the Titans at the end of the

895
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: year and the Titans win and they're in.

896
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 2: We were already in.

897
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: We had won a division at twenty nineteen, so we

898
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,879
Speaker 1: were resting a lot of guys. Well, they gave Dereck

899
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: Henry the ball all game long. I mean, Mike Vrabel

900
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: was going to get him that rushing championship, and I

901
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: remember he had a long.

902
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 2: Run against US that sealed the game.

903
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 1: And it game the Russian Championship and they went off

904
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 1: the field celebrating and like, okay, whatever, they'll get knocked

905
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: off next week by New England and then they went

906
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: all the way to.

907
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 2: The AMFC Championship game. It does give me that vibe

908
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 2: a little bit.

909
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: But regardless of who steps on the field defensively, those

910
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be locked in a.

911
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 5: Number twenty eight.

912
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 3: Yep, there's no question.

913
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:24,919
Speaker 2: There's no doubt.

914
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: Now my Modela matchup is whoever plays wide receiver against

915
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: whoever plays corner for the Colts, because the Colts have

916
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: played nine different corners this year. Nine they've been banged up.

917
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: They traded for Sauce Gardner, then he gets banged up,

918
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: don't know if he'll play. Tarias Ward has been banged up,

919
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: so they've got some backup corners and if Texans want

920
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: to move the ball and they're gonna get stymied with

921
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: the run game, which I hope they don't, but if

922
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: they've got to throw it, I think they're facing some

923
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: corners that they can get after.

924
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 2: With the receiving group.

925
00:40:58,239 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm gonna be keep my eyes on

926
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 1: Texans wide receivers against who's ever playing corner for the Colts.

927
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 3: Quick comment on the Colts quarterback situation because Riley Leonard

928
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 3: he's different obviously than Philip Rivers. They did not trust

929
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 3: him to operate the team against Seattle, against San Francisco,

930
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 3: against the Jaguars. Philip Rivers did and they were competitive.

931
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 3: They could have, would have should have beat Seattle. They

932
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 3: put up points against the forty nine ers, but the

933
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 3: defense failed them, and then against the Jaguars right there

934
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 3: with him, could not make the plays they needed to

935
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,919
Speaker 3: to pull the game out. But what about Leonard because

936
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 3: he does one thing Rivers does not, and that's run

937
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 3: with the football in his hands. What about that?

938
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: Dynamic quarterbacks that have given the Texans issue this year

939
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 1: have been guys that can't get out of the pocket.

940
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen running, Bo Nicks running, Baker Mayfield. You guys

941
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: that can make plays out of structure. Riley Leonard can

942
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: do that. I wouldn't be surprised if they have some

943
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: RPOs for him, some specific run pass situations where he

944
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: can he can decide to run himself or throw it

945
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: as opposed to Taylor taking a ball in him throwing it.

946
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:01,439
Speaker 2: I think they'll have.

947
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: Some quarterback run specific things for Riley Leonard, not too many,

948
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: because they can't afford to get him beat up because

949
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,959
Speaker 1: the backup is gonna be Seth Hannigan, who just got

950
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: to Indianapolis this week.

951
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 3: Yep.

952
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 2: So they can only do so much.

953
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: But when things break down for young quarterbacks, what do

954
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: we always see? They take off, especially a guy with

955
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 1: athleticism like Riley Leonard. So he's a tough, gritty competitor.

956
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: Got Notre Dame to the National Championship Game last year,

957
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: but he did it based on his legs and his

958
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: guts and his grit, not his throwing ability. So keeping

959
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: him in the well, making sure that he doesn't get

960
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: out of structure is gonna be huge against Riley Leonard.

961
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 3: Mattress Firm Sleeper of the Game. Mattress Firm the official

962
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 3: sleep partner of the Houston Texans. Okay, let's go here.

963
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 3: I know who you want to pick, because you probably

964
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 3: want to pick somebody on offense. I'm just gonna go

965
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 3: with that, like Jawar Jordan for any Wow, Yeah, because

966
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 3: I know my mutton that's yours. I knew you're gonna

967
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 3: do it. This is like what I do with Andre

968
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 3: in the pre game. Yeah, but I'm gonna pick Dylan Horton.

969
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 3: I talk about big play Barnett. Derek had back to

970
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 3: back sacks last week. I know Dylan's gonna play a

971
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,240
Speaker 3: lot of snaps at all likelihood in this game. That's

972
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 3: the way I see it. Coach Vandermere sees it that way.

973
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 3: So damaging Dylan. Dylan Horton's gonna make some plays in

974
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 3: the backfield against the Indianapolis Colts. That's my mattress from sleeper.

975
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how you did it.

976
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I was thinking of, was Juar Jordan

977
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 1: because Woody Mark's been banged up in a lot of carries.

978
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: I really like what's developed with Woody and Juwar. As

979
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: Woody the primary back, Jamar his compliment and then whenever

980
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: they can get Nick some reps, Nick chubbs some reps,

981
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: then he works in as well. But I just think

982
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: in this game where wood He's been banged up and

983
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: you're really gonna need Woody to do some things in

984
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: the playoffs, I think the more you could take off

985
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 1: Woody's played this week, the better for him, the better

986
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: for Djuwar Jordan, but the betterment for the team as well.

987
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: So I think Juar Jordan's gonna end up being that

988
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,879
Speaker 1: guy that gets fifteen carries, kind of like you did

989
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. I think he's gonna end up being

990
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: that guy, and I can't wait to see what you

991
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: are Jordan does with even more carries. It looks to

992
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: me like he's getting more and more comfortable each and

993
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: every time he takes the field. Now he's only been

994
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,919
Speaker 1: in what three games, but you could start to see

995
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: it a little bit. Against the Chargers there was some

996
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: comfortability as he was running the football.

997
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 2: Like, I really like this.

998
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: I'd like to see them get toar Jordan vault the

999
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,439
Speaker 1: passing game. That's what I'd like to see because getting

1000
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: him out in space, that's where he really can create

1001
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: issues for a defense.

1002
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 3: Make some big plays that way. The Colts have a

1003
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 3: chance at a winning season, and in this disaster of

1004
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 3: a finish for them where they've lost six in a row.

1005
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 3: You know they want to salvage that, but you have

1006
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 3: a chance to make them miserable, and I always love

1007
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,280
Speaker 3: that opportunity against the Horseshoe. Game preview Texans and Colts

1008

00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: We know a couple of colts are out that could

1020
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: play a big role. How about your Texans. We'll do

00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: John Harrits, Football analyst, sideline reporter for your Houston Texans.

1024
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: Glad to be with you. It is Status Report time.

1025
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: My chefs some music, but I do not. I maybe

1026
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: we'll come up with some later and I will quit

1027
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: singing because I can't sing, So let's get into it.

1028
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: Who's in who's out?

1029
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 2: Now?

1030
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: This all comes with a caveat, and that is yeah,

1031
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: they may not say out on the injury report, but

1032
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: they might be out.

1033
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 2: There's some guys that were some slashes.

1034
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: Remember Cordell Stewart long time ago, a quarterback, wide receiver,

1035
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: do it all player for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They used

1036
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: to call them slash because he had all these different

1037
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: positions and they would separate him with a slash. Well,

1038
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: that's kind of what the injury report looked like. There

1039
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: are a bunch of slashes on here, like because he's

1040
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: out Shire knee and shoulder. He's in though full participant.

1041
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 1: We had disease on earlier. He was absolutely fantastic. He's in.

1042
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:26,919
Speaker 1: Another slash. Trent Brown now he's questionable. Another slash. Kamara last,

1043
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: Kamari is out. He is out of this game, and

1044
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: I I'll say that's the right way. I'm kind of glad.

1045
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: I think with Kamari, the way he plays, as some

1046
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,919
Speaker 1: people would say, as psychotic as he is, he's gonna

1047
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: try and play through anything. So I think you gotta

1048
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,240
Speaker 1: protect him from himself. In Therefore, the team so Kamari

1049
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 1: is out, but we do have a couple of guys

1050
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: with the slash marks that as he's in. We'll see

1051
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: about Trent. We'll see whether Trent's gonna play or not.

1052
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: But he, like I said, Questionable Kamora out, Jamal Hill out.

1053
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: So the only two they're out or Jamal Hill Kamori

1054
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: Laster as it sits right now, that could change over

1055
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: the weekend. That could change going in. There may be

1056
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: some guys that they're just not gonna play. There might

1057
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: be some guys that play three plays and then come

1058
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: on out because they gotta get ready for the playoff game.

1059
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: Questionable Trent Brown and Johnny Carter and Darryl Taylor. So

1060
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 1: we'll see where those guys are in or out for

1061
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: the Colts. Sauce Gardner out, Will Mallory out, Anthony Richardson out,

1062
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: Daniel Scott out. So they got four. Everybody else's in

1063
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: for the Colts, including Riley Leonard who will start at

1064
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: quarter back. So gonna be interesting to see. Ten thirty.

1065
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: Keep your eyes peeled. That's when the inactives come out

1066
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: for the game on SUNNAS. You definitely want to check

Speaker 1: that out and see who's in.

1068
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:51,279

00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 3: Jonathan Alexander in studio with us now, Jonathan Alexander from

1085
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 3: the Houston Chronicle. All right, Jonathan, here we go, Texans

1086
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 3: colts into the final week of the regular season. My

1087
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 3: take on this is it's kind of weird. How are

1088
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 3: they gonna play it? Are they gonna scoreboard? Watch starters play.

1089
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 3: How long is it better to rest? What do you

1090
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 3: see your general thought here on how to approach this

1091
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 3: game the best way to do it?

1092
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think they're just gonna have to

1093
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 6: play the game as it is, like they want to win,

1094
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 6: and of course be smart with their players, like if

1095
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 6: they're up a certain amount of points in the second half,

1096
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 6: then you sit and rest of guys and don't risk

1097
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 6: any further injuries. But this game is vital. I was

1098
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 6: actually just writing a story on it, and it matters

1099
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:29,760
Speaker 6: for playoff seedings because Asia's Outshire talked about it on Wednesday.

1100
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 6: I think you talked about it Wednesday. The NFL is

1101
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 6: so wide open this year. The Texans could literally be

1102
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,879
Speaker 6: a five seed and host a playoff game. Yeah, so

1103
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 6: you want to win that game. And we know how

1104
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 6: important playoff home games are for teams. I think in

1105
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 6: last year's playoffs, home teams were ten and two in

1106
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 6: playoff games. The year before they were nine to three.

1107
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 6: So it's important to be the home team in some

1108
00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 6: of these games.

1109
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: So if they're not the home team, they do have

1110
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: to go on the road. Pick the game that you

1111
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: would like to see the most for the Texans at

1112
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at Baltimore without Lamar Jackson at Baltimore with Lamar Jackson,

1113
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 1: New England. Let's just say those are your options. Throw Jacksonville, Oh, Jacksonville.

1114
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: Throw Jacksonville in there, because it looks like Denver is

1115
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: gonna beat a Justin Herbert less Chargers team. So pick

1116
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: your road spot for the first round for the playoff

1117
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:32,320
Speaker 1: bout Texans.

1118
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 6: I mean, if you ask me who do the Texans

1119
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 6: have the best chance. To be honest with you, you

1120
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 6: know I'll start this. I think the Texans matchup with

1121
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 6: any of the AFC team's good answer. Like, when I

1122
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 6: genuinely look at them head to head, I don't see

1123
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 6: any of the other teams saying like, oh yeah, the

1124
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 6: Texans might lose this game. Like the Texans defense has

1125
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 6: been so good. As long as they remain healthy, they

1126
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 6: can be any of the teams.

1127
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 7: Now, when it.

1128
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 6: Comes to the easiest teams in the playoffs, I think

1129
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 6: the Pittsburgh Steelers are among the worst teams who are

1130
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 6: going to be in that playoff field. There's no consistency there.

1131
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 6: They don't have a passing game, they don't have a

1132
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 6: running game. They have a good defense, but they're going

1133
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 6: to struggle come playoffs, and they seem to do it

1134
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 6: every year.

1135
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 7: Now.

1136
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 6: I think the Jaguars a little bit of a wild card.

1137
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 6: Texans know them, Jaguars know them, Jaguars are hot, probably

1138
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 6: feeling themselves.

1139
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 7: That could be a little.

1140
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 6: Bit up in the air, but I think everybody else

1141
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 6: to me is just about the same.

1142
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 7: It's that much of a wide open AFC.

1143
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 3: What do you think they want? What do you think

1144
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 3: they would like to see the Houston Texans?

1145
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the Texans would love to have whoever

1146
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 6: they're playing it be at home. So they want to

1147
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 6: win a division without a doubt. They want to be

1148
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 6: that three seed if at all possible. And I don't

1149
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 6: know that they're looking too far ahead. I think that

1150
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 6: they're confident as well that they can be any team,

1151
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 6: but they don't want to be doing it completely on

1152
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 6: a road. They don't want to be a seven seed

1153
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 6: and playing all road games because then you're playing an

1154
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 6: uphill battle.

1155
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 7: At that point.

1156
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: Along that along that line's thinking, Jonathan, the Chargers are

1157
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 1: not playing justin Herbert against the Denver Broncos. It's a

1158
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: pretty safe bet that at that point the Chargers are

1159
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: gonna be the seventh seed.

1160
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,240
Speaker 2: They're not gonna go beat the Broncos.

1161
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: I would imagine without Justin Herbert, and I know Herbert's

1162
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: banged up, I get it. What are your thoughts on that,

1163
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 1: the fact that, hey, it's gonna be a tough road

1164
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 1: to hoth going on the road three times in the playoffs. Hey,

1165
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: maybe we should go win this game. Hey, maybe the

1166
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: Texans try to rest guys and they get knocked off

1167
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: the Bills. I don't if the Bills get knocked off,

1168
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 1: but either way, the Chargers are kind of accepting their

1169
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,919
Speaker 1: fate as the seventh seed and not playing Justin Herbert.

1170
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: Your thoughts about resting him as they go into that

1171
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: game against the Broncos.

1172
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:49,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm a little bit surprised by that, But maybe

1173
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 6: the them meant that the Chargers figured that the Texans

1174
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,439
Speaker 6: are gonna win their game and the Bills should win

1175
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 6: their game considering they're playing the Jets. Yep, So maybe

1176
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 6: that's what they felt like resting Jessin Herbert considering the

1177
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 6: different injuries that he has. And I'm sure it was

1178
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 6: a physical game that he played against the Texans that

1179
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 6: they thought that that was best. And I think that

1180
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 6: there is some importance to resting guys, making sure that

1181
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 6: they're fresh, making sure they don't risk further injury.

1182
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 7: And we know Justin Herbert has that left hand injury.

1183
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 6: So I think it makes sense from that standpoint, But

1184
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 6: I am a little surprised that they would just resign

1185
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 6: to the fact that they're going to be a road

1186
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 6: team all postseason long.

1187
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,479
Speaker 3: Jonathan, we haven't talked to you since the Texans beat

1188
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 3: the Chargers, So your thoughts on that victory, how they

1189
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 3: got it, any concerns out of there, anything reinforced or

1190
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 3: anything reinvented for you as far as opinions takes on

1191
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 3: this football team, are you concerned about the picks? Are

1192
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 3: you okay with that the context of them, especially the

1193
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 3: way the defense played in the second half, My goodness,

1194
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 3: and the offense got to go in the second half

1195
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 3: as well. Your thoughts overall on the victory against the Chargers.

1196
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 6: Now, I think that the Texans defense is still the

1197
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 6: lead now. Of course, they give up that test late,

1198
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 6: but I don't I don't think that there was ever

1199
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,879
Speaker 6: a genuine concern that the Texans were gonna lose this game,

1200
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 6: even when it got down within four points. I felt

1201
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 6: like the Texans still had it rap. It never felt like,

1202
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 6: oh the Chargers or have the Texans on their heels.

1203
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 6: Having said that, I do feel like what we've seen

1204
00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 6: from this offense is probably what we're going to continue

1205
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 6: to see.

1206
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 7: They're gonna be up and down.

1207
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 6: They're going to have some days where they look really

1208
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 6: good and have some days where they just look mediocre,

1209
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 6: but that still might be good, might be good enough

1210
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 6: for them to win as long as they don't so

1211
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 6: like with CJ turning the ball over twice, they haven't

1212
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 6: done turned it over a lot.

1213
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 7: I guess as long if they turned the ball over.

1214
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 6: As long as CJ makes the extraordinary play like he

1215
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 6: made those first two plays, and then they're good. Like

1216
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 6: they don't have to be the spectacular team that a

1217
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 6: lot of people are yearning for them to be that

1218
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 6: they might not never be this year for them to win,

1219
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 6: they they just have to take care of the football,

1220
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 6: do enough, and let the defense handle the rest. Because

1221
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,879
Speaker 6: I think I've probably mentioned this before. If you give

1222
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 6: this defense, if you spot this defense two touchdowns, there's

1223
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 6: no way the team is coming back against them.

1224
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 1: Johnathan, what's the fallout in Indianapolis? Start the year seven

1225
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 1: to one, then eight and two, and now they're eight

1226
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,879
Speaker 1: and eight going into the seventeenth game.

1227
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 2: They're mathematically eliminated.

1228
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 1: Fact, they were eliminated before last week's game against the Niners. No,

1229
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars, they're already eliminated by the Texas winning

1230
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 1: against the Charters. What's the fallout in Indianapolis and Week

1231
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: one twenty twenty six. Who's the starting quarterback for Indianapolis?

1232
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, this might be a high take, might not be.

1233
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 6: But I think the Texans, I mean not Texans, the

1234
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 6: Colts are probably going to part ways with Chris Balor.

1235
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 6: He's been at the Helm for a while. He looked

1236
00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 6: like he had some security when they got out to

1237
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,360
Speaker 6: that start, but they haven't won with him as the

1238
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 6: general manager. And I think that if there's a change

1239
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 6: to be made, I don't think it's gonna be Shane Steitchen.

1240
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 6: I think it would be him, and I think quarterback two.

1241
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 6: You know, that'll be an interesting discussion, you know, do

1242
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:20,720
Speaker 6: you give Anthony Richson back the Keys? Does he still

1243
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 6: want to be there? Does he request the trade? I

1244
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 6: could see I could see him really out of there.

1245
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 6: I mean, they they legitimately like gave the keys to

1246
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 6: Daniel Jones before he got hurt and and said that

1247
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:37,360
Speaker 6: this is going to be our franchise guy. So you know,

1248
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 6: I'm sure Anthony Richson isn't happy about that. So I

1249
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 6: could see him creating a scenario where he finds a

1250
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 6: different team in a fresh start, which might be good

1251
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,919
Speaker 6: for him, Yeah, to be honest with you, which would

1252
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 6: create a fiasco in in in Indianapolis because they wouldn't

1253
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 6: know who their starter for week one it's going to be.

1254
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 3: I would doubt he would start for them next year.

1255
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 3: It's interesting what you just said about Anthony wanting out,

1256
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 3: and I can imagine that being true as well. I

1257
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 3: can't imagine them getting much, if anything for him, so

1258
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 3: it might have to be a full out release. We'll see.

1259
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 3: It's gonna be an exciting interesting offseason as usual. Jonathan

1260
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 3: Team used to cover the Carolina Panthers. They're in a

1261
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 3: big one Saturday afternoon against the Buccaneers in Florida, and

1262
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 3: if the Panthers win, they win the division. Now that

1263
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 3: was not on a lot of people's radars coming into

1264
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 3: the season. Dave Canalys has done a really nice job

1265
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 3: there and they still have a shot to win even

1266
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 3: if they lose, because if Atlanta wins, they win the

1267
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 3: three team tiebreaker. Right.

1268
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1269
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 6: Well, you know when I saw them at the joint practices,

1270
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 6: as I said this, I said, that was an even

1271
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 6: joint practice, Like I thought.

1272
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 2: I remember you saying that. Yes, I was like.

1273
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I was worried.

1274
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1275
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, exactly. That was my reaction, like, yeah,

1276
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, I think Jonathan's right. Yeah, but you kind

1277
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 1: of felt like, Okay, the Panthers look better than they've been.

1278
00:57:58,640 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 7: Yes, oh for sure.

1279
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 6: I was like, this is a nine and eight, eight

1280
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 6: to nine team, like they could as bad as historically,

1281
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 6: as bad as the NFC South has been, the Panthers

1282
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 6: could sneak into the playoffs, and they're exactly what we

1283
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 6: thought that they would be based on what we saw

1284
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 6: at joint practices. Now, the Texans are obviously better than

1285
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 6: what they showed that day, but the Panthers showed that

1286
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 6: they can put up a fight in the end.

1287
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 7: All year, the Panthers have been an up and down team.

1288
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 6: They've beaten really good teams like the Packers and the Rams,

1289
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 6: and they've lost to bad teams like the Saints.

1290
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 3: Although the Saints are looking better.

1291
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, Saints are definitely looking better.

1292
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 6: So but I think just considering where the Panthers were

1293
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 6: a couple of years ago, you know, they're moving in

1294
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 6: that right direction, and I think the way the Buccaneers

1295
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,439
Speaker 6: are playing, the Panthers could win in the NFC South.

1296
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: Okay, call your shot, raven Steelers, looks like Lamar is

1297
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 1: gonna play. Game is in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh will not have

1298
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. Your thoughts about the winner of that.

1299
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 6: Game, Yeah, the Steelers just have no answer, no receiving options.

1300
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 6: They don't know how to get the ball to receivers

1301
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 6: without DK Metcalf. I think the Ravens, even with the

1302
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 6: semi healthy Lamar Jackson, will win this game because number one,

1303
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 6: they have the experience. You should never discount Lamar Jackson

1304
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 6: no matter how hurt he is, and John Harborough knows

1305
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 6: how to win.

1306
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 7: I think they'll figure it out.

1307
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 3: So you think the Ravens figure it out and win

1308
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 3: the game, which would put the Texans in Baltimore on

1309
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 3: wild Card weekend. But you're okay with that?

1310
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 6: I mean, I think that is a harder game for

1311
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 6: the Texans facing the Ravens. I mean, you know, to me,

1312
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 6: even though they beat the Ravens earlier this year, they

1313
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 6: still haven't faced their Lamar Jackson demons. Oh yeah, And

1314
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 6: I think that they'll overcome them this year, but I

1315
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 6: think there is still some psychological news to face in Jackson.

1316
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 6: They know how good he is and how dangerous he is,

1317
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 6: so I think they'll give him a level of respect

1318
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 6: if they face him. But I think he is much

1319
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 6: more of a threat than what the Steelers present.

1320
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: I would much rather stay at a non haunted Airbnb

1321
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: than go to the haunted Airbnb and feel like I've got.

1322
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 2: To live with the ghosts, you know what I mean,

1323
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 2: Like Lamar is the ghost. I don't want to go

1324
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 2: and just like just to prove it, you know what

1325
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 2: I mean.

1326
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: I'd rather just go stay at the non haunted Airbnb

1327
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: that's at Eric after sure stayed emn beat that. Jonathan

1328
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk said le while ago that the fifty

1329
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: ballots for the All Pro Team and various AP awards

1330
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: are due three o'clock Eastern on Monday. How many Texans

1331
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: do you think end up earning All Pro honors, whether

1332
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 1: first or second team?

1333
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 6: You know, I actually had a voter hit me up

1334
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 6: the other day and they gave me their thoughts on

1335
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,919
Speaker 6: who they were thinking for The Texans asked me who

1336
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 6: were they missing since I covered a team, and I

1337
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 6: gave him. I told him, I said, I think you

1338
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 6: should put Jalen Petrie on your ballot. I think you

1339
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 6: should play Kamari Lasseter on your second team All Pro

1340
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 6: ballot as well. Because of course they had Stingley and

1341
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 6: Will Anderson right, and they were considering Daniel Hunter. So

1342
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 6: I think it's quite possible that you could see definitely

1343
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 6: your one hundred percent going to see sting You're one

1344
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 6: hundred percent going to see Will Anderson. You're most likely

1345
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 6: going to see will Nico Collins, because I think people

1346
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 6: are considering Nico Collins, which would be great. So I

1347
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 6: think you'll see at least four And I think you

1348
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 6: can see more people in this All Pro ballot than

1349
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 6: you'll than you saw at the Pro Bowl.

1350
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 7: So I'm going to put out a.

1351
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 6: Guest and say five nice Texans will be first team

1352
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 6: or second team All Pro.

1353
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 2: Nice all right?

1354
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 3: True or false? Daniel Hunter is a top three most

1355
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 3: underappreciated player in this league. And I was gonna say disrespected,

1356
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 3: but I don't even want to go there. It sounds

1357
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 3: so better, but underappreciated. Considering everything he's doing this year

1358
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 3: and has done in his career, this guy should be

1359
01:01:56,440 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 3: on posters highlighting great play in the end fl But

1360
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 3: he's not loud. We all know he's quite the opposite.

1361
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 3: But he's loud on the field. Thoughts.

1362
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's unfortunate, you know, I don't know. Do you

1363
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 6: consider Minnesota a huge market because he was not? Yeah,

1364
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 6: I mean, I think it's just a matter of him

1365
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 6: playing at a smaller market, not being on a lot

1366
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 6: of primetime games historically, and because he was dominant in

1367
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 6: Minnesota as well and should have been Pro Bowl or

1368
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 6: All Pro.

1369
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 3: If he played in New York, he'd be on the

1370
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 3: side of a building in Times.

1371
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 6: Square like he'd be talked about among TJ WHT in them.

1372
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 6: And so I think he gets glossed over often, which

1373
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 6: is unfortunate for him. But he's definitely one of the

1374
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 6: top four ed rushers playing right now and is deserving

1375
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 6: of All Pro, should have been deserving of a Pro Bowl.

1376
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 3: Well maybe if he played in Cleveland. Well, he's loud, though,

1377
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 3: and he gets the attention. Danil doesn't want the attention.

1378
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 3: He just wants to make plays.

1379
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 2: He just wants the ball. That's all he wants to do.

1380
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 1: And I mean when it comes to awards and things

1381
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 1: like that, you don't get the impression that those things

1382
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: impress him or that he's even oh yeah, I'm all pro,

1383
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm all day like. But I do feel like the

1384
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 1: other day when you look across the field and you

1385
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 1: see Tolly toy Pot, it's a good player. Really is

1386
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: a good player, right that he made the Pro Bowl

1387
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: instead Danil Hunter?

1388
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, I mean all these guys are correct.

1389
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 2: That shouldn't have happened.

1390
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 3: All right, Jonathan, what do you have for happening in

1391
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 3: the chronicle for us?

1392
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:25,440

Speaker 6: So this week I got a story coming out on

01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 6: Nico Collins. So how he his his rise to start him?

1395
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:35,919

Speaker 3: for having me.

1397
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Cannot wait for that to come out from Jonathan Alexander.

1398
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 1: All Right, we get back, got my picks straight up

1399
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: and against the spread for fun in week eighteen. We

1400
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: gotta have a lot of fun. Let's do that next.

1401
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: Tough games to pick, but we'll do our best next

1402
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 1: right here.

1403
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 2: At Texas All Access. All right, what's happened to everybody?

1404
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Friday edition of Texans All Access

1405
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 1: from Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, John Harrison,

1406
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 1: football analyst, sideline reporter. I will take you up to

1407
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: eight o'clock and then Mark will take you from eight

1408
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 1: to nine. So plenty of good stuff coming up with

1409
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 1: Marv Vandermuir after we shut it down.

1410
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 2: And it's interesting.

1411
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:19,439
Speaker 1: I was, you know, putting things together for the show

1412
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: and looking at my notes and all that.

1413
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 2: And I was like, man, it's weird.

1414
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 1: If this were twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, this

1415
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 1: would be our last Friday All Access show the year.

1416
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: Hopefully we got about five or six left, because that

1417
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 1: would mean we're playing all the way into February, and

1418
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 1: then that would bleed right into our all of our

1419
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 1: offseason shows because we go all the way to the

1420
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl So America Dream and hopefully that is what happens.

1421
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 1: But it is not our last All Access show, and

1422
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: that to me is threemendous news. All Right, we got

1423
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 1: a lot of games that we got to get to

1424
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 1: this weekend, all happening Saturday and Sunday. No Monday night game,

1425
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: no Thursday night game, doesn't matter because that would have

1426
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 1: been yesterday, and it was the college teams who had.

1427
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 2: The scene all to themselves.

1428
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 1: A tremendous game down in New Orleans with Ole Miss

1429
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 1: upsetting Georgia. You had a dominant Indiana team walloping Alabama.

1430
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 2: I saw a tweet.

1431
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 1: Only time it's ever happened in the same season where

1432
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: Ohio State and Alabama are held to ten or less.

1433
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: Only one team's ever done that, Indiana twenty twenty five.

1434
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

1435
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 1: And then Oregon took care of an offensively inept Texas

1436
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 1: Tech team. Spent a lot of money and good money

1437
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: at Texas Tech. And look when I say that, I

1438
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: don't mean that disparagingly. I mean Oregon has spent good money.

1439
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: And when I say good money, they spent on really

1440
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: good players. They've spent well. There's some teams that have

1441
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 1: not spent well. They've spent money on quarterbacks that didn't

1442
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: work out. See Auburn and Jackson Arnold. They paid a

1443
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 1: lot of money, didn't work out. So from that standpoint,

1444
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 1: those teams did it right. They paid good money. That's

1445
01:05:58,520 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 1: what you want to do. You want to find the

1446
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:04,840
Speaker 1: right and they found it. So Oregon, Ole Miss, Indiana

1447
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 1: joined Miami in the semifinals. Next week the College Football Playoff.

1448
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 1: All right, it's get to the NFL though it starts

1449
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 1: on Saturday, and boy it starts on Saturday.

1450
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 2: Get my music and let's rock. Okay. The Panthers are

1451
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 2: at Tampa Bay.

1452
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is a three point favorite at home, basically

1453
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: on a neutral field. Vegas thinks these two teams are even.

1454
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:32,919
Speaker 1: I don't disagree. I it's this easy. Panthers win. They're

1455
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 1: in the Bucks win. It's not as simple. They need

1456
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: at that point the Saints to beat the Falcons, they

1457
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 1: need a two team tiebreaker, not a three team.

1458
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 2: I think the Bucks find a way to win.

1459
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 5: Now.

1460
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: I think the bad news we'll get to that a

1461
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: little bit. But I think the Buccaneers are gonna win

1462
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: this game. They're gonna cover the three and send Jean

1463
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 1: Decker off into retirement.

1464
01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 2: Let's smile on his face.

1465
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: Seahawks forty nine has been with a game is in

1466
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: San Francisco.

1467
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 2: Seattle's favored by two and a half.

1468
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: I think the forty nine ers are gonna pull the

1469
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:08,480
Speaker 1: old switcher route and they're gonna win this game, therefore

1470
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: covering the two and a half. Niners are the number

1471
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 1: one seed over in the NFC. Okay, let's get to

1472
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 1: Sunday's games. Cowboys taking on the GEMN Cowboys seven to

1473
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 1: eight and one Giants three and thirteen. The Giants want

1474
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: to maintain at three and thirteen for a shot at

1475
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 1: the number one pick. Therefore, Dallas fairbout three and a half.

1476
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Dallas will win and cover that three and a half.

1477
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 1: Browns and Bengals. This will be an interesting one because

1478
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:35,200
Speaker 1: that Joe Flacco starts for the Bengals, which I've heard

1479
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 1: might be in the works. Then Joe Flacco would have

1480
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:42,400
Speaker 1: started against the Bengals for the Browns in week one

1481
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 1: and then start for the Bengals against the Browns in

1482
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: week eighteen.

1483
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, weird.

1484
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: Cincinata's favor by seven and a half. Cincinnatia win this

1485
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 1: thing by ten. In the Jungles, Saints taken on the Falcons.

1486
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 1: The Saints are hot, hot, hot, but being Atlanta, Atlanta

1487
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 1: is going to be very difficult, and Atlanta's fair by

1488
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: three and a half. I think this is where the

1489
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: Saints string ends Atlanta by three. Give the Saints a cover,

1490
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: but the Falcons will win. Packers taking out of Vikings.

1491
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Clayton Tune against Max Brosmer calling me excited.

1492
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 1: Minnesota FA favorite by.

1493
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 2: Nine and a half. I think the.

1494
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 1: Vikings, in a very low scoring game, will win. The

1495
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 1: Packers will cover. Titans Jaguars Jackson will fare by thirteen

1496
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: and a half. I think this one gets kind of

1497
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: ugly thirty one fourteen. Jags pull away in the fourth day,

1498
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 1: win the AFC South, as tough as that is to say,

1499
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,640
Speaker 1: and they get a cover. Cardinals Rams Rams don't need it.

1500
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 1: They'll probably rest some guys. They're favored by eight and

1501
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: a half. It's probably why it's only eight and a half.

1502
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 1: Cardinals will get inside the eight and a half.

1503
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 2: It'll be like.

1504
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 1: Twenty one to thirteen, but the Rams will get to

1505
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 1: win at home. Chargers Broncos. Chargers not playing justin Herbert.

1506
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,880
Speaker 1: Broncos need it. They're favored by twelve and a half.

1507
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: Give them a win and a cover twenty eight to fourteen.

1508
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 1: Broncos the number one seed in the AFC, Chiefs and Raiders.

1509
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:08,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs faired by five and a half in Las Vegas.

1510
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 1: Vegas needs an l Chiefs will abide. Chiefs will win

1511
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 1: by a touchdown. Patriots Dolphins, same situation. Quinny Ewers for

1512
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:22,679
Speaker 1: the Dolphins against the Patriots, Patriots need it to potentially have.

1513
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 2: The one seed.

1514
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 1: Patriots are faired by eleven and a half at home.

1515
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:25,960
Speaker 2: They'll get it.

1516
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: They'll be fourteen wins for Mike Vrabel and company. Commander's

1517
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:32,479
Speaker 1: taking on the Eagles. There's a chance Eagles out of

1518
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: two or the three, depending on what happens. I don't

1519
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: think Commanders could play with the Eagles. Eagles win by

1520
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:41,640
Speaker 1: touchdown twenty eight twenty one. Lions taking on the Bears

1521
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 1: Bears fair by three. They need a win. I think

1522
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: the Lions are gonna spoil this. I think the Lions

1523
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:51,519
Speaker 1: in an upset. Lions get to win in Chicago, knock

1524
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 1: the Bears down to the three Jets and Bills. Josh

1525
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 1: Allen is gonna at least start fair by seven and

1526
01:09:57,880 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 1: a half. Bills are gonna win this and win it big.

1527
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:02,800
Speaker 1: And then Sunday Night, Oh boy. Ravens Steelers Ravens favored

1528
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: by four and a half. I think the Ravens get

1529
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:09,600
Speaker 1: a win, but Steelers gonna cover. We're going twenty to seventeen.

1530
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 1: Ravens the four seed and AFC North winners all right,

1531
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,600
Speaker 1: coming up next to feel Good Friday. Miko Ryans is

Speaker 5: we win the game. We're in like and that's what

1553
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 5: you that's what you played for, that's what you suit

1554
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 5: up for. You want to play, so you play the

1555

Speaker 5: the playoffs. You want to get in the playoffs, and

1557
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 5: then hey, once you get in, it's a new season

1558
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 5: and everything starts over there. But and there was a

1559
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 5: lot of work there to get to the playoffs. It

1560
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 5: took a lot for our guys. And I'm just the

1561
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 5: way we battled, the way we worked, you know, even

1562
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:38,240
Speaker 5: at the beginning of our season when it didn't look

1563
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 5: great and everybody casting us off. Just the belief, the

1564
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 5: work ethic that everybody continued to show. That was That's

1565
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 5: the cool part about this season of being able to

1566
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:50,759
Speaker 5: get in how we got in and and the fashion

1567
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:52,559
Speaker 5: we got in and now being on the streak that

1568
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 5: we're on. Just continue to find different ways to win games,

1569
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 5: no matter what it looks like, no matter what it takes,

1570
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,599
Speaker 5: just win the game. So happy to be in.

1571
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:02,679
Speaker 2: To that end, coach.

1572
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 1: The fact that you have so many different guys that

1573
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: have contributed win big moments throughout the year. And that

1574
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 1: came up on Saturday too, Lucky Foto playing his first game.

1575
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 1: You know, JaMarcus down in that ball inside the one

1576
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: on the punt, Guys stepping up that in some cases

1577
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:22,679
Speaker 1: had never played for us, stepping up and making big plays.

1578
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 1: It feels like, yeah, everybody knows about CJ and Nico

1579
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: and you know, the rookies even but it's guys that

1580
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 1: have stepped on the field the last couple of weeks

1581
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 1: that weren't even here when we were zero and three

1582
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:33,960
Speaker 1: that are coming up and making plays, and it goes

1583
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: you know.

1584
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 5: I would give credit to our coaches for how they

1585
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 5: have the new guys who come in and how quickly

1586
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 5: they get the guys caught up, the speed not only

1587
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 5: on the ball, but how we do things and the

1588
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,559
Speaker 5: style of play at which we play. So for our

1589
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:50,640
Speaker 5: dB coaches working with JaMarcus getting him ready to go,

1590
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 5: our special teams coaches like, man, he's instant, he goes

1591
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 5: out there, he's a gunner. He's making impact plays for US.

1592
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 5: Folks comes in and the big guy playing style at

1593
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage, which is what we needed. We

1594
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 5: needed a we need his presence at the d tackle spot.

1595
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 5: He stepped in there and did that. Fore was also

1596
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 5: Keavon Wallace, and he did a really nice job of

1597
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 5: taking those safety reps. Did a really good job of communicating,

1598
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 5: did a great job of tackling. It's just you know,

1599
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 5: when guys come in and they get it from our

1600
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 5: coaches and then they're ingrained with our players, and our

1601
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 5: players showed them like the culture and what we're about here.

1602
01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:30,880
Speaker 5: You know, you there's a certain style of play you

1603
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 5: had to play so you're not sticking out like a

1604
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 5: sore throw on the other way, right, So those guys

1605
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 5: done a great job of fitting in and making impact

1606
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 5: plays for us. So happy for all those guys.

1607
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 3: What about developing that culture, though, coach, because some of

1608
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 3: the new guys who came in during the offseason said, ooh,

1609
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 3: there's something special here, and then the new guys who

1610
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 3: come in during the season, they really see it. But

1611
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 3: it doesn't happen overnight. It's taking you some time. The

1612
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:55,839
Speaker 3: first year was a success, but I got to imagine

1613
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 3: it takes time to really develop that culture with the players.

1614
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 5: Truly, It truly takes a lot of time. It takes

1615
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:03,240
Speaker 5: a lot of effort. It takes when your players, all

1616
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 5: the players buy in the right way and they can

1617
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 5: just how they work each week. Think you see it

1618
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 5: better than you hear it? Like you don't you don't

1619
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 5: hear culture. You see culture and you see it from

1620
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 5: the day to day process of how everyone operates and

1621
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 5: not just practice. How we operate in our meeting rooms,

1622
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 5: like you, how guys are it's conversational, We're talking, ask

1623
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 5: questions if you got them, like we want to make

1624
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:32,799
Speaker 5: sure we're on the same page. How are guys operating

1625
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 5: in the meal room, Like how our staff is in

1626
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 5: the meal room, our strength and conditioning program, our training room,

1627
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 5: like you just feel a different vibe in our room.

1628
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 5: Nobody has to tell you what the Houston Texans culture is.

1629
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:49,760
Speaker 5: Just when you come in our building, you'll see it instantly.

1630
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:52,680
Speaker 2: Positive and inclusive. Positive and inclusive.

1631
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's why I say, you know, guys,

1632
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:56,639
Speaker 1: you always have a smile on your face. You're always

1633
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:58,880
Speaker 1: positive about things that are going on, and keep it

1634
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:00,599
Speaker 1: that way. And I think that matters a lot, Coach.

1635
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:02,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I speak for everybody in this building when

1636
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:04,840
Speaker 1: I say that. You know, just seeing you with smile

1637
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 1: on your face every day is like enough for me

1638
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:09,040
Speaker 1: to want to do what I need to do mark

1639
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:10,479
Speaker 1: the same way. So and I know the players have

1640
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 1: got to feel that way. But I know you can

1641
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:14,759
Speaker 1: get upset when the tackling is not great.

1642
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:16,840
Speaker 2: I know that. I know that.

1643
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 1: Look it's not always that smile. But how do you

1644
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 1: think the tackling was the other day? You know, I

1645
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 1: got to ask you about it, and you mentioned it

1646
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 1: when you and I talked about Henry after the game.

1647
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:25,479
Speaker 2: But overall, when you're back and.

1648
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:27,680
Speaker 1: Looked at it, it felt like from the sideline like

1649
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 1: tackling was pretty good for the most part, other than

1650
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:31,720
Speaker 1: Justin's long scramble that he had.

1651
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:33,479
Speaker 2: What'd you think when you went back and looked at.

1652
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 5: It, tackling was good. I was smiling. I was not upset.

1653
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:38,680
Speaker 5: The tackling was really well. You know, the guys did

1654
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:43,000
Speaker 5: a really really nice job of tackling, specifically Henry as

1655
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 5: for how he stepped up and just put Hampton. He's

1656
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 5: a big boy. Yeah, he's a tough guy to get down.

1657
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 5: But I thought we we tackle really well because we

1658
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:54,240
Speaker 5: just sometimes it's like basketball, you just got to take

1659
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 5: the charge, just get body on body like. It's not

1660
01:15:57,439 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 5: gonna be pretty all the time. You're not gonna make

1661
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:02,639
Speaker 5: the big hits all the time. It's just about securing

1662
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 5: the tackle, getting the guy down, and let's move on

1663
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 5: to the next play. So really proud of just our

1664
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:11,640
Speaker 5: tackling angles, our pad leverage. That's what stood out to me,

1665
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:15,639
Speaker 5: and we mean open field tackling was really great. Kavon

1666
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:17,920
Speaker 5: had a nice one, Henry had a couple of nice ones.

1667
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 5: Jalen Petrie on our sidelines, so everybody you know tackled

1668
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:23,920
Speaker 5: really well and that's the key to winning. That's the

1669
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 5: key to getting off the field as well on third down,

1670
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 5: and that's what the guys did.

1671
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 3: Coach opening drive of the game. You hit Higgins on

1672
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 3: the long pass for the touchdown. It felt kind of

1673
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:35,799
Speaker 3: like twenty twenty three versus the Colts in Week eighteen,

1674
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:39,920
Speaker 3: early Haymaker and then you hit another one. Those really

1675
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 3: helped because fourteen nothing. You feel like with this defense,

1676
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:44,719
Speaker 3: it might not be enough, but it could be enough

1677
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 3: the way you're playing overall this season. Thoughts on the

1678
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:49,040
Speaker 3: early strikes by the offense.

1679
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 5: Man, those are exciting for everyone when those go up

1680
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 5: and we scores like, man, you give yourself a little

1681
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 5: breathing room there. So the defense was definitely fired up.

1682
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:00,760
Speaker 5: And the way the offensive line proteid on both of

1683
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 5: those plays that was that stood out to me, Like

1684
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:06,799
Speaker 5: CJ had time of course, he delivered two beautiful balls

1685
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 5: to both guys and they were able to you know,

1686
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 5: secure the catch and get in. But when you do

1687
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 5: that early like those Haymakers, of course, you know, it

1688
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 5: changes the landscape of the game. You know, if you're

1689
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:18,280
Speaker 5: on the on the opposite side of that as a

1690
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 5: defensive coordinator, when two plays they go over your heads like, okay,

1691
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 5: got to do something different. That's either sending more guys

1692
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 5: and not giving us much time, or you know, making

1693
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:30,680
Speaker 5: sure they stay back even deeper. So they started to

1694
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:32,679
Speaker 5: pressure us a little bit more in the second half,

1695
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 5: which made us speed up and get the ball out quick.

1696
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 5: So they made some adjustments, but overall, like for us

1697
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:41,439
Speaker 5: to get up and get that lead early, that was

1698
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:44,680
Speaker 5: key for such a fast start. And now then how

1699
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 5: the offense finished the game as well was key.

1700
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 2: That's why I want to go to your coach.

1701
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,719
Speaker 1: I looked up at the touchdown they scored the extra

1702
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:55,320
Speaker 1: points twenty sixteen. I looked up three thirty seven left.

1703
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 1: I was like, we've done this before. I don't remember

1704
01:17:57,120 --> 01:17:59,520
Speaker 1: what it was in Indianapolis, but we did it Indianapolis.

1705
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 1: We've done it other times to run the clock out,

1706
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 1: get those couple of first downs. You go and get

1707
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 1: those first downs, and you get them in different ways,

1708
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:09,240
Speaker 1: but you went I think it was three first downs.

1709
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 1: You got the Nico, then the penalty, and then you

1710
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:13,680
Speaker 1: got Woody with that run at the end. What do

1711
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:15,479
Speaker 1: you think it says about the offense because there were

1712
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 1: some struggles at times offensively after a couple of big plays,

1713
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 1: but then they step up and they make the place

1714
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:22,679
Speaker 1: to finish the game. What do you think it says

1715
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:24,719
Speaker 1: about that unit and how they came along on Saturday?

1716
01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:27,360
Speaker 5: He clutch moments. They're stepping up in the clutch moments

1717
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:29,720
Speaker 5: and they're they're making the plays that we need and

1718
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 5: to close games out. Men, we did it last week

1719
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 5: versus the Raiders. I throw the pass up to Nico

1720
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 5: right again, in this situation where everybody's thinking, you got

1721
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 5: to run the ball, run the clock out, run, run run.

1722
01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 5: It's like, man, if they're gonna if they're gonna sell

1723
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:47,200
Speaker 5: out like this on the run and let's throw the ball.

1724
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 5: Make sure we're throwing into our best player. Make sure

1725
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 5: we throw the ball to Nico because we know how

1726
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:54,599
Speaker 5: he performs in those clutch moments. You know you can

1727
01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:56,680
Speaker 5: count on the guy and that's what he did. He

1728
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 5: showed up, got a huge first down for us, and

1729
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 5: then we're at that moments like hey, now let's pound

1730
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 5: a rock, like let's continue to press press forward. What

1731
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 5: he did a great job and as a coach in

1732
01:19:07,479 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 5: those moments that the one thing he worried about, and

1733
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 5: they probably tired of me on the heads, is yelling,

1734
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:17,680
Speaker 5: make sure we protect the ball. Secure the ball. Okay,

1735
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 5: I got it. I gotta tell him, was like, just

1736
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 5: make sure because that's the one thing I'm worried about most.

1737
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 5: But what he is is done a great job protecting

1738
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:28,720
Speaker 5: the ball. You know all year, Olon did a great

1739
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 5: job blocking and we finished it. I said, hey, we

1740
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 5: need two yards.

1741
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 1: It's funny you say that, coach, because the very last

1742
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 1: thing I saw Nico do on that run was he

1743
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 1: went and clutched it and made sure he had it.

1744
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:41,439
Speaker 1: I just thought that was really interesting. When I looked

1745
01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 1: up at the board, I was like, I bet he's

1746
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 1: telling him. I bet he's telling because he knew. He

1747
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 1: was like I'm getting contact, you're going down, and he

1748
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 1: made sure to get the other hand on the ball.

1749
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty interesting there at the end.

1750
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 3: And with the line, coach, you have different tackles in

1751
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:57,160
Speaker 3: the game from what you had during the seven game

1752
01:19:57,200 --> 01:19:59,840
Speaker 3: winning streak up till that point, and no sacks in

1753
01:19:59,880 --> 01:20:01,600
Speaker 3: the cj getting rid of the ball. I know he

1754
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 3: had the two picks in the second quarter and there

1755
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 3: was a lot of pressure in the third quarter, but

1756
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 3: he was getting rid of the ball. Just get it

1757
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:10,000
Speaker 3: out of there. Learned to fight another series of downs

1758
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 3: if at all possible. And at the end of the day,

1759
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 3: the two backs Jawar Jordan and what he Mark's run

1760
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:17,120
Speaker 3: for over one hundred yards combined. That was nice.

1761
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:19,479
Speaker 5: It was really nice to see you get over one

1762
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 5: hundred yards as always, you know, a goal. So we

1763
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 5: did that, ran the ball well. I think there's still

1764
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 5: some plays to be had in the run game where

1765
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:28,760
Speaker 5: we can even press it a little bit more and

1766
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 5: get some more yards out of it. But I'm encouraged

1767
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 5: by what both guys are doing and then our tackles. Right,

1768
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 5: I gotta give credit to Titus, right, Titus has been

1769
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:40,400
Speaker 5: the guard. He flips back over the right tackle step saying,

1770
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:43,320
Speaker 5: did a really nice job. And Blake Fisher for his

1771
01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 5: first start of the yet man he did a great

1772
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 5: job stepping in there. Really securing the heads of the line,

1773
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 5: like he didn't allow those guys to get a lot

1774
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:54,720
Speaker 5: of pressure, like he blocked well, he finished well. He

1775
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,800
Speaker 5: played with some grit, some toughness. So I was very

1776
01:20:57,840 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 5: pleased with what he was able to do there and

1777
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 5: overall for the second week in a row. Not to

1778
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 5: give up a sack. That goes to CJ. Right the

1779
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:07,880
Speaker 5: old line first for protecting well. But when we did

1780
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,240
Speaker 5: have something, they had some free hitters coming, like he

1781
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 5: made the smart decisions of getting rid of the football.

1782
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:16,559
Speaker 5: We call him the sack savers. It's not there, get

1783
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:18,439
Speaker 5: rid of the ball and let's move on to the

1784
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,800
Speaker 5: next place. So shows growth in our young quarterback CJ

1785
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 5: of not trying to make the heroic play every single time,

1786
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 5: knowing when it's not there, live to fight another day.

1787
01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 5: So he's done that, and now we can go punt

1788
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 5: the football. Let's go play defense.

1789
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 3: Right. Well, at one point when ed went out, you

1790
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 3: had compared to the seven game winning streak up to

1791
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,840
Speaker 3: that point, four guys in different spots, and you still

1792
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:44,559
Speaker 3: had Jake Edrews at center. But that's the NFL, right,

1793
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 3: you got to live with it.

1794
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:48,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the NFL, And cole coach Papaviz, He's done

1795
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:51,559
Speaker 5: a really nice job with those guys. Always you prepare

1796
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:54,519
Speaker 5: those guys. You know, we talked back seems like forever.

1797
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 5: But in training camp when all these guys are at

1798
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:00,879
Speaker 5: different positions and moving on, why do you move guys around?

1799
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:03,799
Speaker 5: Why isn't this guy this spot? Well, in a game,

1800
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:06,479
Speaker 5: you never know you take. We take eight offensive linemen

1801
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 5: to the game each week, so by only taking eight

1802
01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 5: guys like, guys have to play multiple spots. And that's

1803
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 5: why we operate the way we do in training camp,

1804
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:18,840
Speaker 5: just to make sure everybody has some familiarity with other

1805
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:20,640
Speaker 5: with at least two positions.

1806
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 1: A guy that I know from the day you've seen

1807
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 1: him here in this building until now you've loved, we've loved, we've.

1808
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:29,679
Speaker 2: Grown to love him. That's Kamari Lasser.

1809
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 1: And sometimes you can see the value of player when

1810
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,280
Speaker 1: he's not on the field. But I think every time

1811
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:37,320
Speaker 1: you see Kamari on the field, you see the past

1812
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 1: breakups and just how physical he is. But when he

1813
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:43,400
Speaker 1: went out of that game, coach, I started thinking, man,

1814
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 1: this is one of the pillars, This is one of

1815
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:47,200
Speaker 1: the building blocks of this defense.

1816
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, what are we gonna do without him?

1817
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 1: Then he's back in and I don't even know what

1818
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:52,720
Speaker 1: it was, but he ends up going back in the

1819
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:53,679
Speaker 1: game and continue to play.

1820
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 5: Well.

1821
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 2: What does he continue to give your defense? Coach when

1822
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 2: he is on the field, Man, can.

1823
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:02,679
Speaker 5: You hear me on game day? Because man, I said,

1824
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:05,320
Speaker 5: I'm on the on the sideline and I think it

1825
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:08,719
Speaker 5: was one pass they try. They tried Kamari with Johnson.

1826
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:11,600
Speaker 5: They tried him down our side on one and he

1827
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 5: breaks the pass up and he shows up another time

1828
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:17,640
Speaker 5: and makes it. I'm like, man, I just love Kamari

1829
01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:21,680
Speaker 5: like he is such just he is the he is

1830
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:24,759
Speaker 5: the man like I just love watching him play football.

1831
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 5: And that's what I'm telling the coaches on the head

1832
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 5: said during the game as is going on. But me,

1833
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 5: for Kamara, man, it's one of the toughest guys I've

1834
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:35,760
Speaker 5: been around. Right for him to I mean, he took

1835
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,160
Speaker 5: a wicked hit from Tailor. It's just a lot of

1836
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 5: friendly fire there. And I'm like, man, I hopefully hope

1837
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 5: he gets up and I go out there and he's like, coach,

1838
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,240
Speaker 5: I'm coach, I'm not missing this game. I'm coming back

1839
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:50,599
Speaker 5: in this game. Like That's why I love you, man,

1840
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 5: like you're the You're the man. It's his toughness, his

1841
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:58,920
Speaker 5: competitive is fire, his spirit. He truly loves football. Like

1842
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 5: you talk about building a culture program, like you build

1843
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 5: it around guys like Kamar Lassiter who loves football. He

1844
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:08,800
Speaker 5: wants to be out there no matter what he wants to.

1845
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 5: Probably you have to make this, make him not practice

1846
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:14,120
Speaker 5: because of what he's dealing with with his injuries. But man,

1847
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 5: he's He's everything you want you know in a player.

1848
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 5: And the unique part is you don't see that in

1849
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:23,200
Speaker 5: a in a corner, right Mosell. If I'm talking about

1850
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:26,120
Speaker 5: Will Anderson that way, Yeah, everybody gets a defensive line

1851
01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:30,160
Speaker 5: man reck Havoc, I get it, but nobody's talking about

1852
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:34,160
Speaker 5: corners in the league, wrecking Havoc playing physical and that's

1853
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:37,200
Speaker 5: Kamari Lasted. So I love love the way he plays football.

1854
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:40,679
Speaker 5: I mean, and I can always watch him go play

1855
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:43,639
Speaker 5: and you see the the way he competes. I saw

1856
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:47,600
Speaker 5: it in practice back last year, remember when he was

1857
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 5: competing against Stefan Digs and our Ota practice is just

1858
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 5: going toe to toe rep for rep, no fear at all,

1859
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,519
Speaker 5: not backing down. And that's that's who Kamarai is.

1860
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 3: Coach. Maybe you can answer this for me. But opposing

1861
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:05,960
Speaker 3: kickers against the Texans from forty and beyond are six

1862
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:09,080
Speaker 3: for thirteen, which is ridiculous. That must be a historic

1863
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:11,960
Speaker 3: number right there. And then Dicker misses from thirty two

1864
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 3: or whatever, never missed inside of forty and last year

1865
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 3: you had one blocked against him and he misses an

1866
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:18,320
Speaker 3: extra point. I don't want to pick on him, but

1867
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 3: why are you so good against opposing kickers? I know

1868
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 3: Deniko has something to do with that, or a fear

1869
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:25,559
Speaker 3: of Deniko in addition to what he's done so far.

1870
01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:29,639
Speaker 5: It's the fear of Deniko the altar effect that happens.

1871
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:31,920
Speaker 5: The thing when you watch all of our field goals,

1872
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:33,880
Speaker 5: you see the way he rushes, and you see the

1873
01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:36,559
Speaker 5: height that he can get to try to block kigs.

1874
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 5: Think that's in the kicker's mind. It has to be

1875
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 5: in their minds. And then also our guys are doing

1876
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:44,120
Speaker 5: a great job of coming off the edge right. Sometimes

1877
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:45,759
Speaker 5: you don't see a lot a lot of the kicks

1878
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:47,960
Speaker 5: blocked off the edge, but you can force it, and

1879
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:51,599
Speaker 5: those kickers feel that presence, they feel you just flying

1880
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 5: by them, and they when they feel dead. I feel

1881
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 5: like it affects them right, and so I mean credit

1882
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 5: to the way our field goes. There's one unit for

1883
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:02,160
Speaker 5: me that I think. You know, they don't get talked

1884
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 5: about much, but I always it is a passion of

1885
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:07,639
Speaker 5: mine that when we go out on field goal block

1886
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 5: like we want to make them feel our in our

1887
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:15,120
Speaker 5: pain for them even trying to kick on us like

1888
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:16,800
Speaker 5: we want to do in the fielding. So make sure

1889
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:18,920
Speaker 5: you're rushing a lot of guys around the league they'll

1890
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 5: take that playoff and they don't truly rush, so I believe,

1891
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 5: and every time we line up like we can block

1892
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 5: a kick, we can't force a miskick, but you have

1893
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 5: to play with that relittless effort to do it.

1894
01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 1: Coach, your answer after the game was interesting because when

1895
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 1: I asked you a question about Henry, I had actually

1896
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 1: not even thought about the Raiders game. I just was

1897
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 1: it was impressive to me that three separate people had

1898
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:46,479
Speaker 1: just David came up to me and said, Henry Toto's

1899
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:48,120
Speaker 1: playing his guts out, Like I just thought it was

1900
01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:50,680
Speaker 1: interesting that they had kind of brought that up with

1901
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:53,320
Speaker 1: me individually. I wasn't even thinking about the Raiders game.

1902
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:55,920
Speaker 1: But you made a great point about how you have

1903
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,000
Speaker 1: to put something in the rear view mirror. And I

1904
01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:01,360
Speaker 1: know you preach that lesson, but how important is it

1905
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:04,640
Speaker 1: for a player to actually experience that and go, you

1906
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 1: know what, coach was right?

1907
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:07,400
Speaker 2: He was absolutely right.

1908
01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:08,760
Speaker 1: I did put that in the rear view merre or

1909
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:10,400
Speaker 1: I went out and played, I focused a little bit

1910
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:13,040
Speaker 1: more and then had maybe one of his best games.

1911
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:15,160
Speaker 2: What does it mean to you as a coach that

1912
01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 2: he took in that lesson?

1913
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:17,960
Speaker 1: But how important is it for you as a coach

1914
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:21,280
Speaker 1: to continue to give those lessons and say, hey, Henry's

1915
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 1: exhibit A. You play a bad game or you have

1916
01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 1: some bad moments, you can bounce back from it and

1917
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:26,720
Speaker 1: being better.

1918
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's the thing is player, you have to

1919
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 5: understand it's just bad moments, Like is there a bad game. No,

1920
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 5: it was some bad moments where you had some plays

1921
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:37,240
Speaker 5: and you would like to have back. We all have

1922
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 5: had those type of games, right, But do you let

1923
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:43,599
Speaker 5: those bad moments like dictate who you are?

1924
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 3: Like?

1925
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:47,599
Speaker 5: No, you understand, Henry, Like you're a baller, like you

1926
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:50,840
Speaker 5: can play at a high level in this league. Seeing

1927
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:53,599
Speaker 5: you do it, see the way you practice every single day,

1928
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 5: and so you go out and be who you are,

1929
01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 5: who you're capable of being, and that's just being locked

1930
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:01,839
Speaker 5: in on your technique. That's the only thing that changes.

1931
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 5: Now those few bad plays and few bad moments that

1932
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 5: you had, now you able to capitalize on it, making

1933
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:12,240
Speaker 5: some really tough tackles open field tackles closely? Was that

1934
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:15,400
Speaker 5: a safety? Close to getting the safety? You know? It's

1935
01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:18,679
Speaker 5: like so many impact plays he's able to make. Why

1936
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:21,440
Speaker 5: did he do it? Coach? I just played my technique,

1937
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:24,680
Speaker 5: play with the right leverage, play with my eyes and

1938
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:27,879
Speaker 5: the proper space, and I was able to make twelve tackles.

1939
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:30,160
Speaker 5: So it's a big game by him, big game, coach.

1940
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:32,920
Speaker 3: The Chargers are not known as the greatest home field

1941
01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:35,360
Speaker 3: advantage in sports necessarily, but it was loud in that

1942
01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 3: building on Saturday, a lot on the line for them.

1943
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 3: That was a big moment for them. But having won

1944
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:42,720
Speaker 3: big games on the road this season at Indy when

1945
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:44,760
Speaker 3: they were still going good. In Kansas City when they

1946
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 3: still were going good, how about that confidence that you

1947
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:50,760
Speaker 3: got from those big road wins. Winning on the road

1948
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:53,520
Speaker 3: so important as you approach the postseason, especially.

1949
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:54,960
Speaker 5: It's very important to win on the road, and that

1950
01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 5: place has definitely surprised me how loud it was in La.

1951
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:00,479
Speaker 5: I mean credit to the Chargers fan as they say,

1952
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:03,759
Speaker 5: showed up and they got extremely loud, and our guys,

1953
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:06,240
Speaker 5: you know, we were able to handle it right. We

1954
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 5: try to practice, you know, with the with the crowd

1955
01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:12,719
Speaker 5: noise and practice throughout the week, but it still doesn't

1956
01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 5: compare when you get the real crowd noise, Like, how

1957
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:17,840
Speaker 5: are you going to communicate it? Are huddles tight? So

1958
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:20,880
Speaker 5: our communication on it and our guys have done that,

1959
01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:23,920
Speaker 5: folk forced them in practice to make sure our huddles

1960
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:27,479
Speaker 5: are even tighter, to make sure we're all saying the

1961
01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:30,559
Speaker 5: same thing. We're all on the same page, because that's

1962
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:32,679
Speaker 5: the main thing that happens when you go on the road.

1963
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:35,639
Speaker 5: It's like, oh I heard this or I heard that.

1964
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 5: It's like, oh no, that can't happen. If we got

1965
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:43,479
Speaker 5: all eleving guys hearing the same thing, everybody listening with

1966
01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:46,800
Speaker 5: their eyes and ears like that allows us just to

1967
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:48,680
Speaker 5: be on the same page. So we break. Now we

1968
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 5: can go function at a high level right. A lot

1969
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 5: of teams you get you get, man, you get messed

1970
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:57,040
Speaker 5: up when you're when you're not locked in and you're

1971
01:29:57,080 --> 01:29:59,479
Speaker 5: not focused, and that can't happen on the road now.

1972
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:01,760
Speaker 5: So even more so going into the playoffs, if we

1973
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:04,080
Speaker 5: have to go in a row somewhere, we know it's

1974
01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:06,320
Speaker 5: going to be loud, it's going to be rowdy. We

1975
01:30:06,439 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 5: face those environments before we know what it's like. You know,

1976
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:13,320
Speaker 5: playing in Seattle, playing in Kansas City, Andy Chargers, like,

1977
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:15,759
Speaker 5: we've been there before, We've done it, so our guys

1978
01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:18,720
Speaker 5: have that experience. Or wherever we have to go, it

1979
01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:21,880
Speaker 5: doesn't matter. Our guys are prepared for that noise element.

1980
01:30:22,439 --> 01:30:24,600
Speaker 1: So you mentioned the playoffs and we're in the playoffs,

1981
01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:25,559
Speaker 1: third year in a row.

1982
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:26,640
Speaker 2: Fantastic.

1983
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:27,320
Speaker 5: Great.

1984
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:30,680
Speaker 1: However, it can be easy because I know Mark and

1985
01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:33,040
Speaker 1: I even we shouldn't tell you this, but even this

1986
01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:35,439
Speaker 1: morning when we're doing radio, we're kind of looking ahead

1987
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 1: to the playoffs.

1988
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:38,920
Speaker 2: I know, I listen just you have to be.

1989
01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:41,280
Speaker 3: He'll understand.

1990
01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:43,840
Speaker 1: But it's tough to fight human nature in a sense,

1991
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:46,559
Speaker 1: coach of what's going on. So Week eighteen, you know

1992
01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:50,559
Speaker 1: there's Jacksonville playing Tennessee. There are other things that can

1993
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:54,040
Speaker 1: dictate and determine where we might go or where we

1994
01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:54,559
Speaker 1: might stay.

1995
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:55,320
Speaker 2: For the playoffs.

1996
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:57,439
Speaker 1: How do you kind of fight all of that and

1997
01:30:57,479 --> 01:31:00,599
Speaker 1: stay focused for Week eighteen against the cold and kind

1998
01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:03,840
Speaker 1: of let all that other stuff kind of go not scoreboard, watch, Hey,

1999
01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:04,360
Speaker 1: what's going on?

2000
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:05,920
Speaker 2: How do you kind of avoid all that?

2001
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:06,559
Speaker 5: Yeah?

2002
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:07,840
Speaker 2: Well, as tough as it might.

2003
01:31:07,720 --> 01:31:10,200
Speaker 5: Be, I was locked in on all of that yesterday

2004
01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 5: as well. I didn't have a game to worry about,

2005
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:16,000
Speaker 5: so you know, we didn't know our schedule or when

2006
01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:18,000
Speaker 5: we will be playing. So I'm locked in on all

2007
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:20,559
Speaker 5: the games on Sunday, just like you guys are seeing

2008
01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:24,719
Speaker 5: all the different scenarios of what can happen. So from

2009
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:27,280
Speaker 5: all the studying I did yesterday, I understand you know

2010
01:31:27,320 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 5: all the things that have to happen, and for us,

2011
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:31,479
Speaker 5: I know one thing that has to happen. We have

2012
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,639
Speaker 5: to make sure we're focused. We have to win versus Indy.

2013
01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:38,240
Speaker 5: That's the main thing, because by winning this game, a

2014
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:43,080
Speaker 5: lot of different things can happen. But if and it's

2015
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:48,080
Speaker 5: it's possible, if the Tights can go and you're to win,

2016
01:31:48,320 --> 01:31:51,000
Speaker 5: you know, versus the Jags. Hey, we're sitting here and

2017
01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:55,120
Speaker 5: we can be AFC South Champs. So not losing sight

2018
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:57,400
Speaker 5: of that, we have to do what we have to do.

2019
01:31:57,439 --> 01:31:59,439
Speaker 5: We have to handle business. We have to win this game.

2020
01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:02,720
Speaker 5: So if that does happen, then we're sitting in a

2021
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:06,920
Speaker 5: three seed and we're here in Houston, NRD playing a

2022
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:07,920
Speaker 5: home playoff game.

2023
01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:10,760
Speaker 3: So what about the coat whoever the quarterback is. You

2024
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:13,080
Speaker 3: watch them play against the Jacks, and they were right

2025
01:32:13,160 --> 01:32:16,840
Speaker 3: in that game, hotly contested affair and had their opportunities

2026
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:19,639
Speaker 3: big returns. They made some big plays in that game.

2027
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:21,559
Speaker 3: It's a good football team. I know the record has

2028
01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:24,040
Speaker 3: been sliding, but they can make some plays.

2029
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:26,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, they can make some plays. Really good football teams.

2030
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:31,360
Speaker 5: And said they had a chance on yesterday versus the Jags,

2031
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:35,040
Speaker 5: like turn the ball over there and they're in the

2032
01:32:35,080 --> 01:32:37,320
Speaker 5: red zone. That really hurt them. But I thought the

2033
01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:39,960
Speaker 5: returner stepped up for him dueling, He stepped up in

2034
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 5: a lot of big returns for him to put them in,

2035
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:45,679
Speaker 5: you know, in striking distance go score. Their defense made

2036
01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:47,960
Speaker 5: some big stops took the ball away as well. So

2037
01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:50,559
Speaker 5: I mean, this coach team is still a tough team.

2038
01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:53,720
Speaker 5: Even though people say you don't have anything to play for,

2039
01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:56,479
Speaker 5: you're not in the play like, there's always pride on

2040
01:32:56,520 --> 01:32:58,599
Speaker 5: the line every time you suit up as a player,

2041
01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:02,240
Speaker 5: you're always landing on the line giving your absolute best

2042
01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:04,000
Speaker 5: every single time. So we know we're going to get

2043
01:33:04,040 --> 01:33:06,920
Speaker 5: their best. Not sure who would be the quarterback it

2044
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:10,679
Speaker 5: is Leonard or Rivers, but we're going to get their best,

2045
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:11,040
Speaker 5: all right.

2046
01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:13,679
Speaker 3: What Johnny said, he could have phrased it like this, coach,

2047
01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:16,080
Speaker 3: because every week when you play, you know the next

2048
01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:18,720
Speaker 3: opponent the following week, right during the regular season, and

2049
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:20,920
Speaker 3: you have to compile information on that opponent so you're

2050
01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:23,559
Speaker 3: ready to scout for it and get prepared for that

2051
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:25,600
Speaker 3: following week so you can jump right into it. But

2052
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:28,439
Speaker 3: with the postseason you don't. It's a lot of different

2053
01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:31,120
Speaker 3: possibilities here, coach, just about everybody in the field you

2054
01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:33,120
Speaker 3: have a scenario where you could play them. So how

2055
01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:35,479
Speaker 3: do you go about that, compiling the information in advance,

2056
01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:37,080
Speaker 3: or do you just have to wait? I could have

2057
01:33:37,120 --> 01:33:39,479
Speaker 3: said that, you said you could have done it like that.

2058
01:33:39,560 --> 01:33:40,160
Speaker 3: Johnny could have.

2059
01:33:40,200 --> 01:33:42,719
Speaker 5: Said that with all of the different scenarios and different

2060
01:33:42,720 --> 01:33:45,120
Speaker 5: teams we could possibly play, our scouts have a lot

2061
01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:45,639
Speaker 5: of work.

2062
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:49,479
Speaker 2: Files on to do that work.

2063
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:51,479
Speaker 5: But they have a lot of work to do, so

2064
01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:54,639
Speaker 5: they we'll have guys. Each guy don't have a team,

2065
01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:57,280
Speaker 5: they would be assigned a team, and so each one

2066
01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:01,000
Speaker 5: has to prepare for any team that we can possibly facing.

2067
01:34:01,120 --> 01:34:03,880
Speaker 5: I don't worry about it until it's said after Sunday night.

2068
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:07,120
Speaker 3: Okay, all right? The Amergy Bank ask coach question of

2069
01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:10,720
Speaker 3: the week. New Year's coming up? Coach, here we go. Now,

2070
01:34:10,760 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 3: a lot of people have New Year's resolutions. I don't

2071
01:34:13,439 --> 01:34:15,599
Speaker 3: know if you participate in this little activity. I would

2072
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:19,040
Speaker 3: imagine not. But people who want to start a good

2073
01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:22,679
Speaker 3: habit in something, help us out, coach, Coach, the people

2074
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:24,840
Speaker 3: this is good for all of us want to start

2075
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:27,960
Speaker 3: a good productive habit, whether it be working out, eating better,

2076
01:34:28,040 --> 01:34:30,680
Speaker 3: whatever it is. What's a good way to go about that?

2077
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:32,320
Speaker 3: In general? What advice might you have?

2078
01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:34,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the advice to me. If you want

2079
01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:38,080
Speaker 5: to start any good habit, it always starts with one day,

2080
01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:41,640
Speaker 5: like do it for one day? Like can you do

2081
01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:44,360
Speaker 5: it for one day? Yes? Then go do it again,

2082
01:34:44,479 --> 01:34:46,840
Speaker 5: like but you have to have to have a great

2083
01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:51,280
Speaker 5: start to anything and then just feel that consistency. Have

2084
01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:56,519
Speaker 5: someone or reliability accountability partner to check in on you, like,

2085
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:59,439
Speaker 5: don't just go work out on your own, Like, hey,

2086
01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:02,640
Speaker 5: don Mark come work out with me, like everything, now

2087
01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:04,680
Speaker 5: check up on me. Did I hit my workouts? Are

2088
01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:06,680
Speaker 5: you hitting your goals? And they just have someone to

2089
01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:08,680
Speaker 5: check in with you, And I think that's when you

2090
01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:11,559
Speaker 5: can accomplish more. Again, I always go back to the team.

2091
01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:14,160
Speaker 5: You need a team to accomplish things. So you have

2092
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:17,760
Speaker 5: these big goals, have someone else in your corner who

2093
01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:21,160
Speaker 5: can you can actually try to achieve those goals with.

2094
01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:25,759
Speaker 5: Now you get your team together, you can do powerful things,

2095
01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:27,120
Speaker 5: a powerful things.
