1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: Here's the snap's looking tipstaball diving for the Blylon that 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: he's got it, Razzle tele touchdown, goostad and the Texans 3 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: go in front. Game day is every day. We had 4 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: a lot of energy and we brought a lot of 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: spark for this organization. Five nights a week. They hits 6 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: keep on coming. The Texas say they have it, then 7 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: they go no, it's Texans, All Exans, what's going on? Everybody? 8 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: Welcome into a Wednesday edition of Texans All Access from 9 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 1: the Honday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, as 10 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: I have been the previous six seasons on Wednesday night 11 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: from six until eight o'clock to Young Harris Football and 12 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: Elston's sideline reporter, and so glad to be with you 13 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: as the Texans prepare for visit to Pittsburgh, the first 14 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: one since twenty fourteen. The Texans have only been there 15 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: three times. Two thousand two was a win, two thousand 16 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: and two was a sorry, two thousand and eight was 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: a ugly loss. Twenty fourteen was a great start. I 18 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: remember that twenty fourteenth season when we went up there. 19 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: Everybody was talking about, man, you gotta get off to 20 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: a good start, gotta get off to good start, and 21 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: they got off to a great start. I think it 22 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: was thirteen to three or thirteen to nothing. It was 23 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: third and fifteen, and they forced Ben Roethlisberger out of 24 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: the pocket, threw it out of bounds on a throwaway 25 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: and there's a flag the Texans jumped offside. And the 26 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: reason I remember that is the very next play on 27 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 1: third and ten, Ben hit Levion Bell out in the flat, 28 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: and from that point forward the Pittsburgh offense went to 29 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: a completely different level. It was just amazing, absolutely amazing. 30 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: So I don't want to relive that. So when in 31 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: the first one lost in away, lost in twenty fourteen. 32 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: So let's put another w up on the board this 33 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now that game is Sunday, 34 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: it obviously is Wednesday. We have some time to ramp up. 35 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: But we've got some people that are gonna be talking 36 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: about this game and many other things on this show. 37 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: We got Bill Hillgrove who's gonna join us later in 38 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: the show with our men behind the Mic series, with 39 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: Mark Vanimer coming up. On the other side of this break, 40 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: we will talk to Missy Matthews, who covers the Pittsburgh Steelers. 41 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: She is our Behind Enemy Sidelines with Deep interview of 42 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: the week and miss is really really good. This will 43 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: be a fun interview with Deep and Missy that will 44 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: come up very very soon. We also have Vernon Hargraves 45 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: Twelve Questions with Drew Doherty. Vernon, I think it's one 46 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: of the very few times, if maybe not the first 47 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: time we've had Vernon on the radio. Obviously, he came 48 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: in the middle of last year, so it's a little 49 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: hard to do it during the season. But really glad 50 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: that we're gonna get twelve Questions with Vernon Hargraves to 51 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: learn a little bit more about the Texans corner. Mark's 52 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: gonna stop by and he and I with talk about 53 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: this game coming up on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers 54 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: and what the Texans have to do to go get 55 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: a w in that game. And then we will finish 56 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: up with our in the Lab podcast snippet with Drew 57 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: Doherty and myself. Kind of a fun ending to in 58 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: the Lab on this one, and it involves Drew's son Robert, 59 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: who fired the question at him and I'll let you 60 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: guys chew on this and think about this. He asked 61 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: his dad Drew, what was the greatest play in NFL history? 62 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of different ways to take that, 63 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: because when you hear best, it's like, okay, the most 64 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: important play, the best physical play. So there's a lot 65 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: of different ways to take it. So I'm curious what 66 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: Drew will come up with. What Drew and I came 67 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: up with. So what's the best play in NFL history? 68 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: It's interesting to think about we I think hit, I 69 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: would think the common ones, and I threw one in 70 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: there that was maybe not as common, but one did 71 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: I definitely think about as being one of the greatest plays, 72 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: if not the greatest play. Hard to argue that maybe 73 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,239 Speaker 1: not the best defensive play in NFL history. It happened 74 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl about six years ago, seven years ago, 75 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: about six and a half years ago, I guess at 76 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: this point now, gosh, times phone, holy smokes. So that 77 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: is a load of what's on the show. That's a 78 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: packed show, right there, folks. So let's getting kicked off 79 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: with some Texans audio jukebox and we're gonna hear right 80 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: off the bat from the head coach Bill O'Brien, who 81 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: was asked about JJ snap count going forward. He played 82 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: about seventy five percent of the plays against the Baltimore Ravens, 83 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: and coach was asked about that snap count going forward 84 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: relative to the game last week. You know, every game 85 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: is a little bit different, John, your relative to the 86 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: rotation that we use on the defensive line. You know, 87 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: obviously JJ had a very productive game. So whatever the 88 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: percentage of time he was in there, he made a 89 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: lot of plays, no doubt about that. Two sacks passed 90 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: back down. He almost had a third sack as well 91 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: on Lamar Jackson. So JJ did play well and about 92 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: eighty percent of the snaps and I think that's, to 93 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: be honest, I think that's a good number. I think 94 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: we've gotten to a point out with JJ that we 95 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: don't need to see him on the field one hundred 96 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: percent at a time, but when it comes to got 97 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,799 Speaker 1: to have a time, ninety nine's gotta be on the field. 98 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: Speaking of JJ, he will see his brother on the 99 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: other side. And I know the Texans to a long 100 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: look at TJ in the twenty seventeen draft. The coachers asked, 101 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: how are these two similar? I mean, number one is 102 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: how hard they play? Right, they play they have a 103 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: relentless playing style and in combination with their athletic ability. 104 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: You know, their size, their speed for the positions that 105 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: they play, their ability to bend um. They're very instinctive players. 106 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of things that are that are similar, 107 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: you know, then you know there's some things that are 108 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: that are different. But but it's just overall, just relentless 109 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: attack of the football on every play. It's so weird 110 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 1: to watch t J when he was coming out of college. 111 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: That's why I really watched him and study him for 112 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: the draft, and I would see him do something, I'm like, 113 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: oh my god, that's JJ. It's just TJ's not as 114 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: heavy as JJ iss not even heavy. I mean you 115 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: look at j J. Gobain's in shape. He's the bigger, 116 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: bigger guy. TJ is not as big I think. You know, 117 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: JJ is about two ninety. TJ is probably in a 118 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: two fifty five range. But man, when you see them 119 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: do things in rush quarterback, with the hands, the way 120 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: they dip, I mean, all that kind of stuff. Very 121 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: very similar in nature, which is to be expected and 122 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: the brothers, but you can see some of the similarities 123 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: with the way they play. But coaches, right the one 124 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: thing about them is the relentless nature with which they 125 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: get after the quarterback. There's no doubt about that. Now, 126 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,239 Speaker 1: the quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers who will face JJ 127 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: on Sunday is Ben Roethlisberger. The Texans have not beaten 128 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: the Steelers with Ben then is three and zero against Oh, 129 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: take that back in twenty eleven. They've not beaten him 130 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: at hines Field. How about that. They did beat him 131 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: in twenty eleven when Texas had a big win there 132 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: Aaron Foster big run for their go ahead touchdown. But 133 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: they've not beaten Ben up at a hines Field. And 134 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: he is tough to play. Here's coach thoughts on facing 135 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: Big Ben. You're exactly right. He's a great player. He's 136 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: seen it all. He's been playing for a long time. 137 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: You know. It comes back from injury last year and 138 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: picks up right where he left off before he was injured. 139 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: You know, he just's very instinctive, very accurate, tough, hard 140 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: to sack, has great command of their offense. Yeah, he's 141 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: he's a Hall of Fame player. Guys won two Super Bowls, 142 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: he's gone to a third. He has been the leader 143 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: for this organization since two thousand and four. Yeah, Ben 144 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: Roethlispergus going to the Hall of Fame, and I really 145 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: wish we weren't facing him on a Sunday. Now. A 146 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: guy that will also be charged with chasing after Big 147 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: Ben is PJ Hall. Through two games, Pja has played 148 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: extremely well. In fact, he earned a starting spot against 149 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: the Ravens in Week two and continue to make plays. 150 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: Here's coach talking about what he likes about PJ Hall. Yeah, 151 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: he plays, he plays with really good leverage. It's built 152 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: in leverage. Right, He's he's a powerful explosive guy, you know, 153 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: relative to the position that he plays. And he's been 154 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: playing hard. He's getting better shape. He did disrupt last 155 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: week and had a good game, and just consistency is 156 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: the key, just like with anybody else. But hopefully he 157 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: can keep getting better, get more comfortable in our system. 158 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: All right, flipped the jukebox and it's gonna come up 159 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: number ninety nine. JJ Watt, who we mentioned earlier, has 160 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: got a who had a tremendous game I thought against 161 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: the Mualtimore Ravens and hopefully he has another one. With 162 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: his two brothers on the other sideline. All three Watts. 163 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: It's the second time since nineteen twenty seven that this 164 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: has happened, three brothers on the same field, and it 165 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: actually happened with the Edmunds brothers a couple of years ago. 166 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: In fact, Troil Edmunds will start at safety for the 167 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: Steelers and there were three Edmunds brothers in the matchup 168 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: of the Bills last year I believe twenty nineteen. I 169 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: believe it was. So this is only the second time 170 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: it happens as nineteen twenty seven to three brothers will 171 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: be on the field together. And JJ talked about what 172 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: he and TJ have in common. I mean, I would 173 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: say just the work ethic, you know, just the desire 174 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: to do whatever it takes to do it, whether it's 175 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: the off season and training, and I mean Derek falls 176 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: into the exact same category. You know, whether it's training 177 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: or eating right or sleeping or whatever it takes to 178 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: to make yourself as great as possible. That's what we do. 179 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: And then in terms of actually getting to the quarterback, um, 180 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: it's it's obviously moves, its speed, it's agility, it's power, 181 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: but it's also effort, you know, a relentless attitude, having 182 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: that vision on kind of seeing how the play is going, 183 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: seeing where you have to go, you know, chasing it 184 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: all the way to the end. I think it's it's 185 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: some of those things, and it's just I don't know. 186 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: I think that's what a lot of it comes down to. Obviously, 187 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: we're very fortunate in terms of you know, genes and 188 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: talent and whatever it is, but that can only take 189 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: you so far. It also comes down to how hard 190 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: you wanted to work, and three what kids have definitely 191 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 1: understood how to work. He also was asked why it's 192 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: so hard to sack Big Benny faced him as a 193 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: rookie eleven, and then he faced them again in fourteen. 194 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: Why is it so hard to sack Ben Roethlisberger? You know, Obviously, 195 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: part of it's his stature. I mean he's just a 196 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: big guy. A lot of it's his toughness, and he's 197 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: just his attitude. You know, he has an attitude that 198 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: he's not going to be brought down. He keeps his 199 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: eyes downfield, he's gonna stand in the pocket strong, he's 200 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: going to deliver the ball. He's gonna shrug a guy off. 201 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: You know. Part of that's just him not willing to 202 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: go down when guys hit him. Some quarterbacks they see 203 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: the hit coming and they just take the hit and 204 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: fall down. He probably sees the hit coming out of 205 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: his peripherals, but he keeps his eyes downfield and he 206 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: throws the ball and most of the time doesn't even 207 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: end up on the ground. So it's very impressive and 208 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: it's something that you have to be conscious of because 209 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: you can't just come flying in out of nowhere. You know, 210 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: the guy doesn't go down very easily. Of course, the 211 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: talk with three Watts facing each other is who was 212 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: the best what back in high school? JJ said it 213 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: was Derek. Yeah. I mean what he did in high 214 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: school is insane. I mean he was a quarterback, he 215 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: was a linebacker, he was a kicker, he was a punter, 216 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: he was a kick returner, he was a punt returner. 217 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: He said every record you could set. I mean, he 218 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: was insane. He really was incredible, and he carried that team. 219 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: So he I don't know what it was that made 220 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: him so great. I mean he just he was an 221 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: all around great athlete and he had the ability in 222 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: the size to do it all. So he certainly was 223 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: the best high school football player out of all of us. 224 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: We were just giving insight into how stupid our group 225 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: chat is. But we were just having an argument the 226 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: other day in our group chat about with a couple 227 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: other buddies from high school. Who's if you took our 228 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: your senior year of high school today, whose team would win? 229 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: So like whatever state, I mean, some guys obviously are 230 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: out of shapes, and like today, if you took our 231 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: seniors and put him on a football field, who would win. 232 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: So we just had that argument the other day, and 233 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: Dereks would have won because they had him and TJ 234 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: obviously on the same team, So that's not fair. But 235 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: my team wasn't too bad. We had a we had 236 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: a guy on my team who currently plays for Team 237 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: USA Rugby, so we would have held our own right. 238 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: Flip the jukebox and go to DeShawn Watson. Of course, 239 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: he was asked about what he sees from the Steelers 240 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: pass rush. A lot of um height, a lot of size. 241 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: Um definitely want to be physical, a lot of speed, 242 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: so they definitely want to create some disruption up front 243 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: and and try to get to the quarterback. Oh there's 244 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: no question they're coming after him, no question if he 245 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: starts hitting them. Early. The blitz is coming. The blitz 246 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: is coming when they come out of locker room, no 247 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: doubt about it. Sean was asked what he wants to 248 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: see from his offense in week three. We want to 249 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: be balanced. I mean, we want to I want to pass, 250 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: We want to do all the things that we need 251 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: to do the the you know, get get on the 252 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: same page and make sure we're on the on the 253 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: same rhythm. So we're building that week the week and 254 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: building that chemistry and um, you know, we're just what 255 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: we want to be and it's just going to continue 256 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: to grow and get better. Facing the Steelers defense, there's 257 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: a lot on the other side, just as there will 258 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: be a Watt on the Sean's sideline. What are thoughts 259 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: on t J. Watt heading into this game? And he's strong, fast, 260 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 1: he's doing a lot of things that that Pittsburgh won't 261 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: want him to do. I was getting to the quarterback 262 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: as much as he can. Um, you know, very very 263 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: productive in the run game and definitely of course productive 264 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: in the in the passing game. So yeah, of course 265 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: we got to make sure we contain him and you know, 266 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: do the things that that are you know, trying to 267 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: trying to you know, limit his ability to get to 268 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: me or you know, to the ball carrier. But yeah, 269 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: he's doing a great job for Pittsburgh. All right, that'll 270 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: do for Texans Audio jukebox and for a hot reads. 271 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: In this first segment we get back, we'll behind enemy 272 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: sidelines with Deep City.

Welcome back 367 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: to this Wednesday edition of Texans All Access from the 368 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: Hounday Texans Studio. I am John Harris, your host football 369 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: as a sideline reporter at a nice little Texans audio 370 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: jukebox in the first segment, and now it's time to 371 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:38,479 Speaker 1: hear some audio from two individuals who cover their teams, 372 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: as well as anybody's time to go behind enemy sidelines 373 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: with Missy Matthews, who covers the Steelers for Steelers dot Com, 374 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: and of course with our own Deep City Deepe ticket Away. 375 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: I've talked to you, Missy at at the Pro Bowl. 376 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: It seems very weird now that we're in season and 377 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: this is how things are conducted. But how has it 378 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: been for you? How's twenty twenty been covering string Steelers. 379 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 1: It's been a little different, I think, as is the 380 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: case for everybody, even the players and coaches. We normally 381 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: go away for training camp and everybody stays in dorm rooms. 382 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: It's a very intimate setting team building, as coached Homa 383 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: likes to call it. That obviously did not happen this year. 384 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: The Steelers, for the first time in over fifty years, 385 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 1: practiced at Hines Field, So it was just, you know, 386 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: very different, like everybody is experiencing, but definitely happy that 387 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: football is being played and that we are rolling through 388 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: the season. Exciting matchup here in Week three, I think 389 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: obviously the big storyline is going to be the Watt 390 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: family reunion. So pretty much any point in the game, 391 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: you can turn it on and you're going to see 392 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: a Watt brother on the field, whether it's Texans defense, 393 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: Steelers defense, even Derek Watt on special team. So I 394 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: know you've had a chance to catch up with Derek 395 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: and TJ up there in Pittsburgh. Is the excitement level 396 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: like a hundred on a scale of one to ten 397 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: for the Watt brothers getting to see JJ on the 398 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: field this week, well, I mean, I definitely think for 399 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: them it's special. You know, they are the younger brothers. 400 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 1: They've played together, Derek and TJ. That is in high school, 401 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: they played in college together, they're now experiencing it in 402 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: the NFL, So it is you know, similar to them, 403 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: but to have three brothers in one game, it hasn't 404 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: happened since nineteen twenty seven. Until last year we actually 405 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: had the Edmunds brothers, three of them, two on the 406 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: Steelers one of the Buffalo Bills play in the same game. 407 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: But I just think when you think of the Watt family, 408 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: you think of JJ first, and I think for TJ, 409 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 1: as soon as the Steelers drafted him, it was you know, 410 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to be known as JJ's little brother. 411 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: I want to create my own name, and I think 412 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: it is fair to say, and you would probably even 413 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: agree that TJ has done so. But when the Steelers 414 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: did sign Derek this offseason, I had a chance to 415 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: skype with the two of them together they were back 416 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: home in Wisconsin. You could tell they were just like, 417 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: we don't want to do this, you know, it's just like, 418 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: we're here to play football. We want to talk about 419 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: the game. That it's not so much about, you know, 420 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: the brother thing. But it is a big deal, and 421 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: you know, I can imagine for their parents what a 422 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: special moment that will be. And definitely I know, you know, 423 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: we've talked to missus watch before. I'm sure she's gonna 424 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: want the photo of the three of them in their 425 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: NFL uniforms hanging up in a nice big picture frame 426 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: in their house. I'm sure it's going to be such 427 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: a special moment for JJ gets asked about it all 428 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: the time, and you know, I just love seeing the 429 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: banter between him and his brothers on Twitter. As for 430 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: Hiss TJ making a name for himself, he certainly has 431 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: done that. Just in the win against Denver last week, 432 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: he put them some pretty good numbers. Two and a 433 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: half sacks, two and a half TFLs, four quarterback hits. 434 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: He's going to face Deshaun Watson for the first time 435 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: in his career because the last time these two teams met, 436 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: Deshaun was already on IR. So let me throw a 437 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: next gen stat to you, presented by AWS. The Steelers 438 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 1: ranked second in the NFL with ten sacks through the 439 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 1: first two weeks of the season. They trail only Washington, 440 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: who has eleven. So tell me about the Steelers defense. 441 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: They're always tough, they're always physical. What has really stood 442 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: out to you this year about them how fast they're playing. 443 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: The communication. You can tell that was a step from 444 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen just to this point. I know it's only 445 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: two games, but they have a core group of guys 446 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: who made such strides last season and they are back. 447 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: You know, Mica Fitzpatrick finally had a full offseason, even 448 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: though it was virtual with the Steelers defense, and you know, 449 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: TJ always says, we want to play fast, we want 450 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: to be physical, and we're not hiding the fact that 451 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: we are going to come after your quarterback. Coach Chalon 452 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,479 Speaker 1: even said after this game that, you know, other than 453 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: the field corners, we're going to bring anybody at any time, 454 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 1: and that's their game and they're not ashamed, you know, 455 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: to say that out loud and to let you know 456 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: that they're going to bring it, even just the substitutions. 457 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: In terms of the depth among the defense. Coach Chalon 458 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: was talking about that in his weekly press conference. To 459 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: be able to play the way they are to blitz 460 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: so much, you have to be able to rotate guys 461 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: in to give people breaks. There was a series during 462 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: the Giants in Week one where it was eighteen or 463 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: nineteen plays and you could just tell the defense was like, 464 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: all right, Cam Hayward ended up getting an interception of 465 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,719 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. But still it's for the game that they 466 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: are playing on defense, they definitely need some extra bodies. 467 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: You know, TJ and Bud Dupre both come off a 468 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: little bit and some of the other guys are rotating 469 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: in for them just to let them breathe, and then 470 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 1: they come back on and they bring the heat. Well. 471 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, I mean, I can't believe I'm saying this. 472 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: He's in year seventeen. It seems like he was gone 473 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: a really long time after last year's season ending elbow injury. 474 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: But he's back. We've heard talks about him retiring or 475 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: not retiring, but here he is. He's it's week three, 476 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: He's already put up five touchdowns to just one interception. 477 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 1: What have you seen from Big Ben in his return? 478 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: He looks healthy coming off the injury. But you know, 479 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: how has it been for him having just such a 480 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: weird offseason and not really being able to get back 481 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: to work on the field until the season started. Yeah, 482 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: I think it's just getting a chance to reacclimate himself 483 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: with some of the wide receivers or tight ends that 484 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: he knew prior to getting injured. A week two of 485 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: two and nineteen, like Juju Smith Schuster Vans McDonald. But 486 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: for some of the new guys, Santa Johnson's in his 487 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: second year, Chase Claypool, the rookie that the Steelers took 488 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: in the second round this year out of Notre Dame. 489 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: I think it's just getting timing down with those guys. 490 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: After the game against the Broncos, you know, Ben, every 491 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: question it was what can the offense do better? It's like, well, 492 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: I have to play better. You know, our defense bailed 493 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: us up. He was very hard on himself and said, 494 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: you know, our guys in terms of the wide receivers, 495 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: they were in the right spot. I wasn't hitting up 496 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 1: them on some of them. He threw an interception that 497 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: I think he knew that ball should not have been thrown. 498 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 1: So I think it's just getting someone that timing down. 499 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: I think his arm, the strength, that's not what people 500 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: are worrying about. Coach Chumley even said this week, you know, 501 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: just knocking up some more of that rust as they 502 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: get going here in the season. Well, we heard so 503 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: much about him wanting to retire. Can you give any 504 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: insight as to what sort of went into that decision 505 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: to stick with the Steelers and come back for year seventeen. 506 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: He actually did a little YouTube docuseriies chronicling his surgery, 507 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: the decision to have the surgery last year, and he 508 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: has said it numerous times this year. It's like, you know, 509 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: I knew this was a special team, especially with the 510 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: way the defense played last year. I think it was 511 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: a different perspective for Ben watching from the sidelines after 512 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: he had surgery. I mean they were literally taking stitches 513 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: out of his arm after watching this docuseries inside Hinesfield, 514 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: and he's coming out on the sidelines to help be 515 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: there for the team last year. So he even said 516 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: that was such a different perspective of watching football and 517 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: knowing that you can't play, and yeah, you can help 518 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: when a guy comes to the sideline, but that's pretty 519 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: much it. So you know, Ben is still taking that 520 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to take a year to year, but he 521 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: still has another year left on his contracts, so I 522 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna have to worry about any retirement 523 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,719 Speaker 1: talk anytime soon. Well, he's already got his favorite two targets. 524 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: It seems like their chemistry is coming along really nicely, 525 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: just in these first few weeks. Do you just missed 526 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: Schuster and Deante Johnson. You mentioned them. Those two have 527 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: been such big targets for him, but there they seem 528 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 1: very different in their role in the offense. What makes 529 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: them so unique? Well, I think Juju is kind of 530 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: coming into his own. Last year was definitely a down 531 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 1: year for him. Of course, the Steelers played three different quarterbacks. 532 00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: You know, you go in thinking you have Ben Roethlisberg. 533 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: We saw what Juju was able to do his rookie year, 534 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: and Juju was in the same draft class as t J. 535 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: Watt and James Connor and those guys kind of they 536 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: got started early in their careers and it's crazy to 537 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: think that this is year four for them. But Deontay Johnson, 538 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: that is the one that I'm very interested in seeing 539 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: because Ben has said some pretty high praises for him. 540 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: Obviously did not get to work with him more than 541 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: six quarters last year, but Deontay was, you know, wasn't 542 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: playing as much his rookie years. So I do think 543 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: they're kind of figuring it out, and Ben has really 544 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: spread the ball out nicely. You know, Chase Claypole's now 545 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: getting involved. We saw his eighty four yard touchdown against 546 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: the Broncos, and we two and even the tight ends. 547 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: Eric Ebron is somebody the Steelers signed in free agents. 548 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: That's kind of a big free agent signing for the Steelers, 549 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: who typically like to build through the draft. So I 550 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: think Ben and Ebron are probably still getting on the 551 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: same page two as well. All Right, tell me about 552 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: this run game, because we know of James Connor, but 553 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: then he Snails also in there, and it seems like 554 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: they're nons are pretty identical. They've each had twenty two 555 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: carries the first two weeks. Is that something that you 556 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: foresee the Steelers doing moving forward, having a two back 557 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: set out there, or do you see one of them 558 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: becoming a three down back as a season progressist. Well, 559 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: coach Sanlan has always said he likes to have a 560 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: bell cow, and that has been James Connor. Now, he 561 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: did get hurt week one in the Giants game. That's 562 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: when Benny Snell stepped in. He did have a fumble 563 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: though week one. In week two, and for a second 564 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: year guy, that's obviously not something you want to be 565 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: dealing with, just in terms of his confidence. We did 566 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: see some Benny Snell in week two, but it was 567 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: mainly James Connor. He's the one that scored the touchdown. 568 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: He had a great fifty nine yard run to really 569 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: steal the game against the Broncos after Terrell Edmonds interception. 570 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: So I think it's still going to be James Connor 571 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: moving forward. I think Benny Snell has showed he can 572 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: be the guy that can tote the ball. But again, 573 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: with those fumbles, that's something that you know, the ball 574 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: security you have to work on, and I don't think 575 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: you're going to get as many opportunities now that it's 576 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: been two fumbles in two games. All right. I saw 577 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: in Week one Zack Banner going down and it seemed like, 578 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,959 Speaker 1: you know, he had done a lot to win that 579 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: starting job at right tackle, but you know, what does 580 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,719 Speaker 1: he What does that loss mean to the team. How 581 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: do they find someone to step up in his place? 582 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: And what's that been like so far? Losing Banner, Well, 583 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: it was a pretty tight race in between Zach Banner 584 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: and Chokes of four four for that right tackle spot. 585 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: They moved Matt Feiler who was there last year. He's 586 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: now playing left guard. So in terms of losing Banner, 587 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: I guess the silver lining in it is that he's 588 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: a good team guy. He's a big personality. He's well 589 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: liked amongst everybody, but Chokes and him were really in 590 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: a fight for that job. It really came down to 591 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: that final few days before we really head into Labor 592 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: Day and the week one preparations were Coach Tomlin announced 593 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: Banner as the starter, and he said the entire time 594 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: that both guys were starter capable. So I guess in 595 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: that sense you have a good backup there. But Dave 596 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: de Castro has not practiced at all in Week one 597 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: or two. Hopefully going to start practicing here in week three. 598 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: We'll see if he's able to go against the Texans. 599 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: That'd be huge for the Steelers offensive line. They started 600 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: a rookie there this week, this past week and week 601 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: two in Kevin Dots and stuff In Wiznowski, another offseason signing, 602 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: he was brought into ad depth. He kind of was 603 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: filling in for DeCastro. Spent a lot of time there 604 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: at right guard during training camp, but then he got 605 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: hurt as well, so now he is on ir so 606 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:22,959 Speaker 1: even in terms of the run game, as you were 607 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: asking me before, there's been a lot of shuffling on 608 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: o line, So hopefully DeCastro can come back to the 609 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: Steelers at some point they did not put him on 610 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: IR He just hasn't been practicing, hasn't been active on 611 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: game day. But yeah for chop support or four. You know, 612 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: you didn't get the job initially, but you know, football 613 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: injuries change everything, So hopefully he can do well there 614 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: at the right tackle spot. All right, Missy, how about 615 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: for you heading into week three, what are some of 616 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: the big storylines you're working on for the Steelers. Well, 617 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: hopefully going to be doing a sit down with Joe Hayden. 618 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: He picked up his first interception last week against the Broncos. 619 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: He's just one of those veteran guys on the defense. 620 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: He just has that personality about him that really draws 621 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: the younger guys to him. It was just crazy to 622 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: think back. I remember our fourth preseason game. We were 623 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: down in Carolina getting ready to face the Panthers and 624 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: Cleveland cut him and the Steelers picked him up. And 625 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: you know, he played with Marquis Penalty at Florida. He 626 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: had some of those connections and it was just crazy 627 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: what he was able to do with his career. But 628 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: I really want to see what the Steelers defense this 629 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: week does in terms of preparing to face Deshaun Watson. 630 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: I think compared to the first two quarterbacks, well three 631 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: quarterbacks the Denver game they faced two. You know, coach 632 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: said it's going to be a ridiculous challenge to stop 633 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: him in all areas of his games. So for the 634 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: Steelers defense, they've looked great the first two weeks. They 635 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: definitely got a little sloppy in terms of penalties week two. 636 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, I want to see them go against Deshaun 637 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: Watson and to see, you know, I think this is 638 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: a really good test to see where the Steelers two 639 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: and twenty defenses. Yeah, missie, I think this defense is 640 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: going to be pretty good against every quarterback it faces, 641 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: including a Shawn Watson. We'll see Lamar Jackson twice. Oh, 642 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: it'll get tested. There's no doubt. By this defense is 643 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: definitely up to the task. There's no question, Okay, speaking 644 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: them up to the task. Mark Vanermere is up to 645 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: the task.

One of my favorite 742 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: segments of the week because we only get to talk 743 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: I think one or two segments all week long outside 744 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,320 Speaker 1: of Texans Monday, and that is the voice that Texans 745 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,800 Speaker 1: Mark Vanimer, Mark, how are you? First of all, Tropical 746 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: Storm Beta hit Sugarland. Okay, you guys weren't swimming in it, 747 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: were you? No? It Sugarland was. We were so spared. 748 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: Johnny and I run along the bayou that I don't 749 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,399 Speaker 1: know if it's Brazer. I don't know what Bodu comes 750 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 1: through here. Okay, I know the Braslos River comes through here, 751 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,360 Speaker 1: but it feeds into the Braslos River right by Clements 752 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 1: High School and I run there every day, and it 753 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: was like barely full. I mean it was just it 754 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: was there was almost nothing in there, you know, relatively 755 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: for what this storm was. So I think a lot 756 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: of Fort Bend County got spared, and you know, I 757 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 1: just I know it's terrible for everybody who gets flood 758 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: problem problems. It's it's awful, and it's so random sometimes 759 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,439 Speaker 1: like this area, that area, whatever. So hopefully this thing 760 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,320 Speaker 1: is long past us now, and hopefully the tropical storm 761 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,879 Speaker 1: slash hurricanes are all past us. I think we were 762 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: probably watching about four or five of them this summer, 763 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 1: and it is so completely not fun. I mean, we 764 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: got all the way through the alphabet and got all 765 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 1: the way to beta in the second alphabet. So I 766 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just glad that it's over. I hope 767 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,839 Speaker 1: that people stayed safe. My wife said something I thought 768 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 1: was really interesting, And she said, and I've thought this too, 769 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 1: that every time a hurricane or a tropic storm hits 770 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:28,760 Speaker 1: and you hear anything that references the hurricane or tropic 771 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:33,399 Speaker 1: storm stalling over Houston, if you don't just have some 772 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: sort of PTSD from that, because I know I do 773 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: whenever I hear that. I mean, and we weren't even here, 774 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 1: we were up in Dallas. I think I probably made 775 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 1: it worse mark because we weren't. We weren't with our families, 776 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: you know, we were up in Dallas after being in 777 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: New Orleans and had to watch it from afar, and 778 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 1: you just felt so helpless. But I get that feeling now, 779 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 1: like I get that PTSD whenever I hear, Okay, the 780 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: hurricane's coming to Houston and it's not a surge event, 781 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 1: but it probably will be a rain event because it 782 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 1: looks like it might stall the I'm like, oh, I mean, 783 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: I just I have that panic. I can only I 784 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: can only imagine what people that lost their homes or 785 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: lost you know, had flooding in the first floor of 786 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 1: their homes, what they go through when they hear that. 787 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,799 Speaker 1: This just got to be so incredibly hard to hear. 788 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,439 Speaker 1: And what is it with tropical storm slash hurricanes here 789 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: in Texas, because you know, when I lived in Florida before, 790 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,280 Speaker 1: you know, they would hit, and they'd hit hard sometimes, 791 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,719 Speaker 1: but they'd move on, you know, here like Allison, I'm 792 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 1: gonna go up and I'm gonna pass the city, but 793 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,879 Speaker 1: then I'm gonna come back for a little visit and 794 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 1: have some nachos and then move on again and flood everybody. 795 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,840 Speaker 1: And Harvey, like you said, stalling, You're not allowed to stall. 796 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 1: No stalling allowed. Move on, quick, move on. The only 797 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: Hurricanes I want to talk to talk about from here 798 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: on out of the Hurricanes that played down in Miami. 799 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: By the way, they've got a Houston kid playing for them. 800 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 1: Maybe you guys have all heard of Deeric King is 801 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 1: crushing it for the Miami Hurricanes and to find what 802 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: will be his final year. And I've said long I 803 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,120 Speaker 1: don't think he'll be a quarterback in the NFL. And 804 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 1: maybe I'm maybe I'm wrong in that. Maybe I'm wrong. 805 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,800 Speaker 1: I just didn't think he threw well enough. But my goodness, 806 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 1: the way he's starting out for the Hurricanes boll that. 807 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,879 Speaker 1: I know, that's gonna make your Hurricane heart grow ten 808 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: times greater than it is when you see Deeric King 809 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: doing those things for the Knes. It's so overdue to 810 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 1: see a playmaker like that, Johnny and and look, I 811 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: can't put it past him to play quarterback in the league. 812 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people thought, you know Kyler 813 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,359 Speaker 1: Murray or you know Lamar Jackson, and like, let's see 814 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: what happens with the Eric King, you know, if he 815 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 1: has that kind of year that he's looking for. But 816 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,439 Speaker 1: it's fun to watch for a Hurricane fan anyway. Yeah, 817 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: no doubt. Mark this game against Pittsburgh on Sunday. I 818 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 1: hesitate to use the words must win. I don't. I 819 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 1: hate those words because I feel like every weekend in 820 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,920 Speaker 1: the NFL's must win. I mean, show me a must 821 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 1: lose game, and it just it feels like every week 822 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 1: is this way in the NFL. But I feel like 823 00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: this team has to get its sea legs underneath them, 824 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,799 Speaker 1: the Texans, that is, they have to get their sea 825 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 1: legs underneath them and start playing the way that they 826 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,439 Speaker 1: look on paper. And your stars have got to play 827 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:14,240 Speaker 1: like stars and really pull this team through this little, 828 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: this little rut that they're in after playing the Chiefs 829 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: and after playing the Ravens. And I just hate the 830 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 1: fact that it's the Steelers on the other end, because 831 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,720 Speaker 1: I know the Steelers are a team that just really 832 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 1: don't allow you to do that. They make it so 833 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: uncomfortable with how physical they play on both sides of 834 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 1: the ball. I want to feel better about this game, Mark, 835 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,719 Speaker 1: but man, I'm really nervous about it. Well, you and 836 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 1: I have seen a few, Okay, you and I have 837 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 1: seen a few of these types of situations. And you know, 838 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 1: you see the Bengals in twenty fifteen, eight no, and 839 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,359 Speaker 1: you're going in there three and five and you have 840 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 1: no shot. You see that. You know You're playing the 841 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 1: Cults in eighteen and you're oh and three and very 842 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 1: you have a shot, but my gosh, it's gonna be 843 00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,320 Speaker 1: tough Andrew luck and everything. And then you know a 844 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 1: week later, not only do you beat them, the Colts 845 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 1: and you beat him at the buzzer of overtime. I 846 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 1: don't know if I can take that this week, by 847 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 1: the way, but you beat him at the buzzer of overtime, 848 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 1: and then a week later you beat the Cowboys on 849 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 1: Sunday Football in overtime. You know, get me some medical 850 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 1: full attention if that happens again. You know, that kind 851 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,319 Speaker 1: of one to punch. But I'll take it. It'll be 852 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 1: fighting and it'll be wins. And you know I'm with you. 853 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,880 Speaker 1: It's it looks very daunting, it really does. But they're capable, Johnny. 854 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 1: That's the thing. This team is certainly capable of much better, 855 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,879 Speaker 1: and it's time to start playing like it. And they 856 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,799 Speaker 1: know it better than anybody. The one thing mark that 857 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: I went back and I watched the Steelers play the 858 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 1: Broncos and one thing stood out to me. Now, the 859 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 1: Giants couldn't run the football against the Steelers at all. 860 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 1: The Steelers just eight up everything. I think sae Quan 861 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,279 Speaker 1: had more carries than he did yards against them in 862 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,879 Speaker 1: poor se Quon Terry his acl this year. But the 863 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,799 Speaker 1: Giants didn't do anything. But the Broncos ran the ball decently. 864 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,320 Speaker 1: They ran for over one hundred yards. Royce Freeman stepped 865 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,799 Speaker 1: in with Philip Lindsay out. He ran the ball very well. 866 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon caught screen passes and ran the ball very well. 867 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:19,520 Speaker 1: This team, this Texans team, if anything has to get 868 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 1: to not even just you know, an average level, but 869 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 1: an above average level. It is running the football. And 870 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,240 Speaker 1: I know, look in the NFL, it's you know, getting 871 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 1: your playmakers the ball, you know, throwing the ball. I 872 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,200 Speaker 1: know that that's taking precedence because Patrick Mahoney was what 873 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:41,040 Speaker 1: he does. But if you don't physically rise up and 874 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:46,319 Speaker 1: just start establishing the physical aspect of the game in 875 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 1: your direction and making the other team match you, and 876 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:54,399 Speaker 1: you don't win that physical matchup, we could forget about it. 877 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 1: But I think against the Ravens running the running game 878 00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,920 Speaker 1: and just going back can watching the game from the 879 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,399 Speaker 1: twenty two in the end zone shot mark, I feel 880 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 1: like there was times where this the Texans offensive line 881 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 1: needed to establish its physical dominance more than it did. 882 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 1: And now it gets even tougher with the Steelers. Tyson 883 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 1: Alu Alu is playing extremely well. You've got Stefan to it, 884 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 1: Cam Hayward, the two outside guys and why didn't dupre 885 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,239 Speaker 1: but the Broncos did run the ball on him and 886 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 1: had success. I feel like the Texans have got to 887 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 1: run it this week and really find the balance that 888 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,200 Speaker 1: Deshaan Watson talked about, because if Sean's going back there 889 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,400 Speaker 1: to throw forty times, forget it. There's no where you're 890 00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,239 Speaker 1: beating them. They're gonna bring so many blitzes on you 891 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 1: at at that point you'll have you'll have you'll have 892 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,280 Speaker 1: a lot of trouble getting to Seawan on the plane 893 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 1: without having him wrapped a body cast. If you can't 894 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,239 Speaker 1: run the football a little bit in this one, well, 895 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 1: I think he can throw it a high volume of times, Johnny, 896 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,480 Speaker 1: if you are running it, yeah, you know, if you 897 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 1: are running it a lot, maybe you're not throwing it 898 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,239 Speaker 1: that many times, but you know, like if you're not 899 00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:01,000 Speaker 1: having long sustained drives, you know, give me that mix, 900 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: you know, if you can possibly do it. And Bill 901 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,360 Speaker 1: O'Brien always talks about are you moving the lot of scrimmage? 902 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 1: He's always checking that out. Well, that's gonna be very 903 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 1: tough this week to move the lot of scrimmage against 904 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 1: this broach up front. But look, harder things have happened 905 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 1: in this league. I mean, you took on a tough 906 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 1: Chiefs team. You moved the ball a bit on the ground, 907 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,239 Speaker 1: not as much as you wanted to. You couldn't do 908 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 1: it against the Ravens. You're absolutely right. We always talk 909 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,760 Speaker 1: about it all offseason long, death and taxes. Bill O'Brien 910 00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,959 Speaker 1: wants to run the football, and I was concerned about 911 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 1: this coming into the season. You know, not that Carlos 912 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,960 Speaker 1: hide is, you know, Earl Campbell or something like that, 913 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,279 Speaker 1: but he was a good, hard nosed runner. And it's 914 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,400 Speaker 1: not just about the back. We all know that David 915 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 1: Johnson can certainly get the job done there, but you 916 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: need Duke back. You know, you need your guys in 917 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,799 Speaker 1: there that you envisioned in the attack when you designed it, 918 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,439 Speaker 1: and Duke is certainly one of them. So let's see 919 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:56,719 Speaker 1: if you can get him back. And I'm not saying 920 00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,279 Speaker 1: he's gonna carry the ball himself ten fifteen times. He'll 921 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,560 Speaker 1: get touches and so maybe you know when you drop back, 922 00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:07,720 Speaker 1: it's not I'm dropping back every time to hit Cooks 923 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,239 Speaker 1: or Fuller on a big play play. I'm dropping back 924 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 1: just to get a little bit, just to get a 925 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,400 Speaker 1: little just to keep moving the ball down the fielder. 926 00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,520 Speaker 1: That's what they gotta do. So we'll see if they 927 00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:20,280 Speaker 1: can get it done on Sunday. Yeah, this this Steelers defense. 928 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,640 Speaker 1: I know you talked to Bill Hillgrove and he'll get 929 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 1: into this in the next segment talking about this Steelers defense. 930 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 1: And I can imagine that Steelers fans, analysts, Bill, anybody 931 00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,360 Speaker 1: related to Steelers, he's got to look at this defense 932 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 1: and go, man, We've had some really good ones here, 933 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,960 Speaker 1: but this one is as stought as it gets. You know, 934 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:46,240 Speaker 1: the way he talks about him, it worried me honestly 935 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,040 Speaker 1: because he you know, Bill Hillgrove has been around, you know, 936 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 1: for a long time in Pittsburgh. He was on Katie KA, 937 00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,640 Speaker 1: which is a legendary blow towards station before it was 938 00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 1: called katie K, you know, different call letters and they 939 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,040 Speaker 1: emerged or something like that, actually, because Katy KAY is 940 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,640 Speaker 1: one of the oldest radio stations in the country. But anyway, 941 00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,239 Speaker 1: I just think that and he loves this defense. So 942 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,920 Speaker 1: to me, this is a frightening thing. But it's a challenge, 943 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,400 Speaker 1: you know, and you got to rise up to that. 944 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,400 Speaker 1: If you are as good as you want to be, 945 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,560 Speaker 1: If you're as good as you think you are or 946 00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 1: should be. Go ahead, go up there and move the 947 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,600 Speaker 1: ball on them. All offseason long when we looked at 948 00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 1: the schedule, we talked about how tough it was going 949 00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 1: to be to take on Roethlisberger. Yeah, we did mention, 950 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,360 Speaker 1: especially you the Pittsburgh defense. But it makes it extra 951 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,960 Speaker 1: tough to see what Connor did last week against the Broncos. 952 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,280 Speaker 1: And I saw the Broncos play Derrick Henry. Not great 953 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,040 Speaker 1: but pretty well. I mean, they stayed in the game, 954 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,880 Speaker 1: they had a good chance. So to me, you just 955 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,399 Speaker 1: got to find a way. I think the magic number 956 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,399 Speaker 1: of this game is considerably lower than the Ravens game, 957 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,880 Speaker 1: you know, than it was for the Chiefs. Of course, 958 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,240 Speaker 1: I think the magic number for this game is somewhere 959 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,839 Speaker 1: around twenty four twenty eight. You got to hold them down, 960 00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: and I think you can do it, and I think 961 00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 1: you can score that at many points. But cleanliness is 962 00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 1: next to windliness. Okay, penalties, turnovers, you can't have those 963 00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,719 Speaker 1: mistakes you had last week. We all know that that's 964 00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 1: pretty obvious. Where do the Texans sit turnover margin in 965 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:18,000 Speaker 1: the league? Mark, Oh, they're they're near the bottom, right, 966 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 1: I mean, they're right there. I haven't looked at it 967 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,399 Speaker 1: because I just didn't want to vomit. But they're they're 968 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,400 Speaker 1: near the bottom and the margin. They haven't had a takeaway, 969 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,759 Speaker 1: you know, no takeaways. Now you're playing great teams, but 970 00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:32,240 Speaker 1: please give me a takeaway or two. One thing about Ben, 971 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,360 Speaker 1: we talked about this on Monday. He will take chances. 972 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,279 Speaker 1: I believe you will get pressure, and I believe you 973 00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:42,680 Speaker 1: will get takeaway opportunities. Can you take advantage of them? 974 00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 1: Ball on the ground are you gonna fall on it? 975 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,359 Speaker 1: Ball in the air of sort of errant tipped? Are 976 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,200 Speaker 1: you gonna get it? You know, we don't know these 977 00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 1: things until we see it, but I believe there will 978 00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,840 Speaker 1: be opportunities to take the ball away. You better pounce, 979 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,799 Speaker 1: you better take advantage. The Texans are thirty first in 980 00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:02,240 Speaker 1: the NFL and turnover margin second to last in the NFL. 981 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,440 Speaker 1: And it was interesting Mark because I looked at the 982 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 1: teams that are in a negative stamp. I think the 983 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 1: Texans are minus one, minus three, and I think about 984 00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,279 Speaker 1: last week is three turnovers because I think about that 985 00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,520 Speaker 1: missed fourth down opportunity, which really to me is a 986 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,040 Speaker 1: turnover because you're giving the ball right there at the 987 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:27,120 Speaker 1: thirty four yard line. But in essence, it's three. Every 988 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 1: team that is minus in the NFL, I think, and 989 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:35,120 Speaker 1: it's probably about eleven or twelve teams that are are 990 00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,360 Speaker 1: that are minus or below minus one or worse in 991 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:44,719 Speaker 1: turnover margin. Of those eleven to twelve teams, one has 992 00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,440 Speaker 1: a two and oh record. That's it. Everybody else for 993 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 1: the most part, the majority, the overwhelming majority or O 994 00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 1: and two. The only team that's two and oh the 995 00:51:55,719 --> 00:52:00,760 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, which makes perfect sense because Josh and somehow 996 00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 1: finding a way to be negative turnover margin and be 997 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,560 Speaker 1: two and oh. And by the way, he's really improved. 998 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:10,840 Speaker 1: But I think they're minus one, so I mean they're 999 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,120 Speaker 1: not they're not weight on the list. But the teams 1000 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,560 Speaker 1: that were minus two, minus three, like the Texans, and 1001 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 1: one team I can't remember is minus four oh and 1002 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:21,239 Speaker 1: two teams and Drew and I talk about all time. 1003 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,040 Speaker 1: If you are in a negative turnover margin in a 1004 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 1: game you have, you're in big trouble, first of all, 1005 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,319 Speaker 1: and there's a better percentage that you're gonna lose that 1006 00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,719 Speaker 1: game than not. Now, the Texans have found a way 1007 00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:40,600 Speaker 1: at certain points when not too or when they have 1008 00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 1: turned a ball over to win games somehow. But they've 1009 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:44,719 Speaker 1: got to find a way to turn out in the 1010 00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,879 Speaker 1: other direction to get turnovers and do something with them. 1011 00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:50,920 Speaker 1: The Ravens the other day did something with them. Two 1012 00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 1: of the three they turned into touchdowns. One the fumble 1013 00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:55,880 Speaker 1: they turned into a touchdown right on the spot. But 1014 00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,719 Speaker 1: then also the fourth down conversion to Texans did not 1015 00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,319 Speaker 1: get They turned that into a touchdown a few plays later. 1016 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:05,960 Speaker 1: So hopefully that will change on Sunday as we go 1017 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh. Kick off is noon, and that's the time 1018 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,960 Speaker 1: to circle for the rest of the year, minus a 1019 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:16,400 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving game against Detroit. Mark, thank you very much for 1020 00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,040 Speaker 1: your contribution.

You have to 1028 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,040 Speaker 1: feel that when you get Bill Hillgrove on the air, 1029 00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,160 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. I mean I heard that voice 1030 00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:49,040 Speaker 1: and it was unmistakable, and I love what he said 1031 00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,839 Speaker 1: about spending his entire career in Pittsburgh. So'll stay tuned 1032 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,759 Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, absolutely, Mark appreciate it. We'll see on 1033 00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,879 Speaker 1: the other side. And that's what we've got for you. 1034 00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,760 Speaker 1: On the other side, it's our man behind the MIC's 1035 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,440 Speaker 1: Mark Vandemir sits down with the voice of the Steelers, 1036 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 1: Bill hill Grove, and that is next on Texans All Access. 1037 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:11,560 Speaker 1: This is Texans Radio on Sports Radio six ten.

I bet, because it just 1040 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,319 Speaker 1: adds up. For example, there are two, not one, great 1041 00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,359 Speaker 1: reasons to fill up with Chevron with Tekron Number one 1042 00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:26,319 Speaker 1: unbeatable cleaning power and number two, or maybe this should 1043 00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:30,319 Speaker 1: be number one unbeatable mileage. Plus Chevron quits Techron in 1044 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,839 Speaker 1: every grade every gallant of their gasoline. So that's two, 1045 00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:36,919 Speaker 1: no way, three unbeatable reasons to go with the one 1046 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:41,000 Speaker 1: and only Chevron with Tekron.

I love 1157 01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:05,280 Speaker 1: when Mark Vanomir, the voice of Texans, sits down with 1158 01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,240 Speaker 1: the voice of the opposing team, and this week it's 1159 01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers, and that means it's the venerable Bill 1160 01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:17,360 Speaker 1: Hillgrove and I listen to NFL films all the time, 1161 01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,200 Speaker 1: and when we don't have a game, I'm listening to 1162 01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:23,800 Speaker 1: the car to Serious XM and listening to the various 1163 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,240 Speaker 1: voices that call the game, and Bill Hillgrove is a 1164 01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:27,880 Speaker 1: voice that just as soon as you hear it, you 1165 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:31,960 Speaker 1: go Stealers. You just know, and I love that. Here's 1166 01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:35,880 Speaker 1: our men behind the MIC's segment this week, Mark Vanomir 1167 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,919 Speaker 1: with Bill Hillgrove. Bill, I want to get your take 1168 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:40,320 Speaker 1: on this. I mean, you've been on the air for 1169 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,400 Speaker 1: a long time, So what is this like for you? 1170 01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:47,120 Speaker 1: Seeing what the sports world is going through broadcasting during 1171 01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:51,439 Speaker 1: the pandemic. You have fewer fans, no fans, that kind 1172 01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:53,920 Speaker 1: of thing. How has it been for you to observe 1173 01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:57,520 Speaker 1: this and participate in it. It's almost like a dream. 1174 01:01:57,560 --> 01:01:59,760 Speaker 1: I hope I wake up because it's a bad dream. 1175 01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,720 Speaker 1: Nothing like this has ever happened in my life. And 1176 01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,840 Speaker 1: I was three or four years old during World War Two, 1177 01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:10,400 Speaker 1: So you know, it's different. It really is different. And 1178 01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,000 Speaker 1: the good thing is we'll rally and we'll get through 1179 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:15,760 Speaker 1: it and get on the other side of it as 1180 01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:21,000 Speaker 1: quickly as possible. The Steelers, now you've observed the entire 1181 01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:25,080 Speaker 1: history of them being a dominant NFL franchise. It fascinates 1182 01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:28,919 Speaker 1: me just three head coaches since the first year Chuck 1183 01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,360 Speaker 1: Noll took over. Where is this team at right? Now 1184 01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,760 Speaker 1: you think in its historical development, Bill, we're at the 1185 01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:39,600 Speaker 1: end of the Roethlisberger era. How would you describe it, Well, 1186 01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:42,600 Speaker 1: as long as number seven is a quarterback, your window 1187 01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,040 Speaker 1: is open to the Super Bowl. I believe that. I 1188 01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:49,720 Speaker 1: believe there's only a handful of quarterbacks of which you 1189 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,400 Speaker 1: can make that statement, and he's one of them. And 1190 01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,240 Speaker 1: as long as he's performing and at the level he 1191 01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:59,240 Speaker 1: is right now, they have a chance. Their defense is 1192 01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:07,160 Speaker 1: out standing, quick, relentless, savvy, veteran, you know, all those 1193 01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:10,800 Speaker 1: good things. And so I have a lot of expectations 1194 01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,520 Speaker 1: for this team. Now, what about the rest of the offense. 1195 01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:17,320 Speaker 1: Right now, it seems like weapon wise, you've transitioned well 1196 01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,919 Speaker 1: out of the Levian Bell Antonio Brown kind of era 1197 01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,880 Speaker 1: and now you have all these new weapons. Yeah. Well, 1198 01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:27,480 Speaker 1: let's start with Chase Claypool, their top pick number he 1199 01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 1: was in the second round. You know, he can take 1200 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,920 Speaker 1: the top off the coverage. He's the biggest fastest receiver 1201 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:40,240 Speaker 1: since Calvin Johnson. He's performed well on special teams, so 1202 01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:44,720 Speaker 1: he's been not a surprise, but he's been above the 1203 01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:49,560 Speaker 1: line as a rookie. Deontay Johnson, in a second year, 1204 01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:53,440 Speaker 1: has shown that ability to make people miss, and you 1205 01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,920 Speaker 1: know there was a punt return in the game against 1206 01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:59,520 Speaker 1: the Broncos. I don't know where his vision is, but 1207 01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,280 Speaker 1: he see these things that nobody else sees. Most of 1208 01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,360 Speaker 1: what was called back because of a block in the back, 1209 01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,680 Speaker 1: but you know, his ability to a make people miss 1210 01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:11,800 Speaker 1: and b see where the open space is is pretty uncanny. 1211 01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:15,640 Speaker 1: The tight ends, Eric he Brown has been a great addition. 1212 01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:19,600 Speaker 1: Vince McDonald just has to stay healthy the old line, 1213 01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:23,720 Speaker 1: you know, that's been much talked about. Hopefully David DeCastro 1214 01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:26,800 Speaker 1: is back this week to anchor that right side because 1215 01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,720 Speaker 1: last week we had two rookies at guard and tackle 1216 01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,720 Speaker 1: on the right side. But you know Ben has his weapons. 1217 01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:35,960 Speaker 1: That James Connor returned from an ankle injury against the 1218 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 1: Giants and against the Broncos, he looked like the James 1219 01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:44,000 Speaker 1: Connor that we expect to see play. If not, Benny 1220 01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,919 Speaker 1: Snell has proven himself and I can't wait to see 1221 01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:51,000 Speaker 1: the kid McFarland out of Maryland. So you know, I 1222 01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:54,880 Speaker 1: think it all augurs well for this team. Bill Hillgrove, 1223 01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:57,600 Speaker 1: voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers with us, Bill, what's the 1224 01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:04,200 Speaker 1: relationship like between the fan base and head coach Mike Tomlin. Well, again, 1225 01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,240 Speaker 1: I think you touched on it three coaches since nineteen 1226 01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:11,400 Speaker 1: sixty eight. He continues things in the same way, the 1227 01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:16,000 Speaker 1: same style, the Rooney's like understatement, and I think that 1228 01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:20,280 Speaker 1: kind of permeates the whole culture of this team, and 1229 01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,640 Speaker 1: the fans love it. You know, the fans in Pittsburgh, 1230 01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:27,680 Speaker 1: this has always been a no nonsense industrial town. We've 1231 01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:31,840 Speaker 1: made the transition to tech and to medical and you know, 1232 01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:33,880 Speaker 1: it's done that very well. But I think the fan 1233 01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:38,680 Speaker 1: base is still you know, hard nosed defense, play the game, hard, 1234 01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:42,760 Speaker 1: play it physically, and they love Tomlin. What do you 1235 01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,200 Speaker 1: think of the division right now? The Texans are playing 1236 01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,560 Speaker 1: all the teams in the ASC North, So what about 1237 01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,360 Speaker 1: the landscape of the division? Bill Well, I think at 1238 01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:52,480 Speaker 1: the top you have the Ravens and the Steelers and 1239 01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:56,480 Speaker 1: then Cleveland. I'm not sure about Baker Mayfield. He came 1240 01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,120 Speaker 1: here with a lot of bally who into this division, 1241 01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:03,600 Speaker 1: so as Joe Burr. But the pieces around them, especially 1242 01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:07,120 Speaker 1: with the Bengals or suspect Cleveland, they just can't put 1243 01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:10,080 Speaker 1: it together for some reason. And maybe it will happen, 1244 01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:13,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's a strong division. It really isn't. 1245 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:15,520 Speaker 1: When you talk about the Ravens and the Steelers. You 1246 01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:17,240 Speaker 1: have two teams that have a chance to go all 1247 01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,080 Speaker 1: the way. So it's a tough division. Bill, you have 1248 01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,440 Speaker 1: an amazing job because you do the Steelers games, you 1249 01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:25,920 Speaker 1: do pitt Panthers. You're a Pittsburgh guy, and it's a 1250 01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:29,880 Speaker 1: fascinating sports city to me because everybody wears the same colors, 1251 01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:32,560 Speaker 1: and I always thought that was something very special about Pittsburgh. 1252 01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:34,320 Speaker 1: I never lived in Pittsburgh, and I lived in State 1253 01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,400 Speaker 1: College for a couple of years, so I was sort 1254 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:40,280 Speaker 1: of feeling the vapors of the sports fandom there. What 1255 01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 1: about this as a sports town and your emergence in 1256 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:47,240 Speaker 1: your career because you started at what is now Katie Ka. 1257 01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,680 Speaker 1: I think it's still called Katie Ka, and it might 1258 01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:51,720 Speaker 1: have had different call letters when you started there, But 1259 01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,960 Speaker 1: as you were growing up and the momentum that built 1260 01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,360 Speaker 1: in the seventies with especially the Pirates and the Steelers, 1261 01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,520 Speaker 1: what was that like? You know, if I write a book, 1262 01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:03,640 Speaker 1: it'll probably be titled I never had to leave. And 1263 01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm so blessed in that regard to be doing play 1264 01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:08,640 Speaker 1: by play for teams that I grew up rooting for. 1265 01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:13,640 Speaker 1: The culture has always been, you know, just a close 1266 01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:19,040 Speaker 1: link between the fan and the player. And my late partner, 1267 01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:21,720 Speaker 1: Myron Cope, I think was responsible for a lot of 1268 01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:25,400 Speaker 1: that when he developed and sold the Terrible towel to 1269 01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,360 Speaker 1: the fandom. He's the only person who could have done 1270 01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,480 Speaker 1: that and to this day, of course, we don't see 1271 01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,560 Speaker 1: it now because of the pandemic, but when you see 1272 01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:39,240 Speaker 1: that towel being waived at stadiums, especially ones that aren't 1273 01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:42,760 Speaker 1: home stadiums. I mean last year almost felt bad for 1274 01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:46,760 Speaker 1: the Chargers because that stadium looked like hines Field West. 1275 01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:51,920 Speaker 1: And there's a socioeconomic factor at played there too. You know, 1276 01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:54,440 Speaker 1: we lost the steel industry. We chased a couple of 1277 01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,760 Speaker 1: generations of young people out of here to go get jobs. 1278 01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:01,720 Speaker 1: They're still in other places, but they're still black and gold, 1279 01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:06,760 Speaker 1: and it's a phenomenon I think Jim Natt said, especially 1280 01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,880 Speaker 1: with the Steelers and their fans, that relationship. You only 1281 01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:13,760 Speaker 1: see that at a few colleges. You don't see that 1282 01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:16,960 Speaker 1: too much in the NFL. Now, you weren't the voice 1283 01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:18,600 Speaker 1: of the Steelers when they used to meet up with 1284 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:20,680 Speaker 1: the Oilers all the time, but in back to back 1285 01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:24,360 Speaker 1: AFC Championship games, they had those legendary matchups and what 1286 01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:28,680 Speaker 1: do you recall about that era, that mini era. You know, 1287 01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,200 Speaker 1: they were great games, and I was covering for television then, 1288 01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:34,400 Speaker 1: so I was add a lot of those games. And 1289 01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:38,960 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh fans never thought it would end we're better than 1290 01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:42,280 Speaker 1: other teams, but you know we have now, we have 1291 01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,519 Speaker 1: the evening out process and it's good for the game. 1292 01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,800 Speaker 1: As you took over the voice of the Steelers gig 1293 01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:50,880 Speaker 1: in ninety four, there you have the beginning of the 1294 01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:54,360 Speaker 1: Bill Kaer era under way. And what was that like 1295 01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 1: to the Steelers, the fans, everybody involved with the Pittsburgh Steelers. 1296 01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,760 Speaker 1: To see that shape over after Noel had built such 1297 01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:05,439 Speaker 1: a dynasty with the team, it was a major step. 1298 01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,479 Speaker 1: But you know, I've always admired Dan Rooney and his 1299 01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:14,680 Speaker 1: ability to hire coaches. And I remember one of the 1300 01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:17,960 Speaker 1: former Steelers said to him the last time this job 1301 01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,960 Speaker 1: opened up, when someone took it, why don't you hire 1302 01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,519 Speaker 1: Joe Green and let's keep in the house. And he said, 1303 01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:26,840 Speaker 1: let me tell you about how we hire. He said, 1304 01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:31,360 Speaker 1: we find a brilliants from somebody else's staff. Who has 1305 01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:35,840 Speaker 1: no bad habits head coaching wise, and we hire him, 1306 01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:38,640 Speaker 1: let him ply his talents, but let him learn how 1307 01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:41,360 Speaker 1: to be a head coach. And he did that with Noel, 1308 01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:43,800 Speaker 1: he did it with Kawer, and certainly has done it 1309 01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:46,280 Speaker 1: with Tomlin. And I think it's a formula that works. 1310 01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:49,400 Speaker 1: And if I can be a little bit selfish about 1311 01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:51,800 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Okay, three coaches since nineteen sixty eight, 1312 01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:57,040 Speaker 1: three played by playman since nineteen thirty eight. Wow, that 1313 01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:01,040 Speaker 1: is strong stuff. That is great. Bill Hillgrove joining us 1314 01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:05,479 Speaker 1: voice of the Steelers the movie that NFL Films made, 1315 01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:09,439 Speaker 1: and Missus Rooney was among the four women who were 1316 01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,680 Speaker 1: part of it, with Missus Ford and Missus Hunt and 1317 01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 1: Missus mc caskey. I'm sure you saw that and how 1318 01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:18,800 Speaker 1: special was it for you to see that? And the 1319 01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:22,880 Speaker 1: part of history that the Steelers family has in the NFL. Yes, 1320 01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:27,080 Speaker 1: it's certainly a major part of it. And fortunately, even 1321 01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,479 Speaker 1: before I started to do the games covering for TV, 1322 01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:33,479 Speaker 1: I got to know the chief and he liked me 1323 01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,519 Speaker 1: because I'm irish, I don't think so. He liked me 1324 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:39,400 Speaker 1: because he knew I liked race tracks and he was 1325 01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:44,280 Speaker 1: always fond of people who liked horse racing, and he 1326 01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:47,839 Speaker 1: was just a gem. He was just I'll never forget. 1327 01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:53,879 Speaker 1: After the first Super Bowl win over Minnesota, I interviewed 1328 01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:55,960 Speaker 1: him and it was a long interview and we chopped 1329 01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,040 Speaker 1: it up for as you well know, we'd always do 1330 01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:01,120 Speaker 1: that for four or five different parts. But he held 1331 01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:05,120 Speaker 1: the game ball and I'll never forget that scene of 1332 01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:08,400 Speaker 1: him just standing there holding the game ball. And I said, 1333 01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,120 Speaker 1: finally at the end of the interview, thank you, mister Rooney, 1334 01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:14,200 Speaker 1: and he said, thanks Bill for being on with me. 1335 01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:18,160 Speaker 1: To me, that's the Rooney touch. That's beautiful. Bill Hillgrove 1336 01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,760 Speaker 1: joining us voice of the Steelers. Do you recall the 1337 01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:24,240 Speaker 1: two thousand and two matchup with the Texans at Pittsburgh 1338 01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,879 Speaker 1: during the Texans first year where they scored three defensive 1339 01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:30,800 Speaker 1: touchdowns and only forty seven total offensive yards, but came 1340 01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:33,800 Speaker 1: away with a pretty lopsided victory. Well, it tells you 1341 01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:38,240 Speaker 1: something about turnovers, doesn't it. They have a stat in 1342 01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:42,880 Speaker 1: the NFL yards per passe attempt and they call it 1343 01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,280 Speaker 1: the Frank Reich stat. He's the guy who came up 1344 01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,080 Speaker 1: with it. Kevin Colbert, of course, had been around him 1345 01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:51,160 Speaker 1: and he believes in it. We're nine of the teams 1346 01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:54,680 Speaker 1: who win that stat yards per pass attempt. You know, 1347 01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:58,000 Speaker 1: they win the game in the NFL, but what's cues 1348 01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:00,720 Speaker 1: at our turnovers? And that game in two thousand and 1349 01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:03,200 Speaker 1: two was a great example of how you can have 1350 01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:07,280 Speaker 1: poultry stats and still come away with a win. What 1351 01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:11,439 Speaker 1: are people saying about the Houston Texans in Pittsburgh this week? 1352 01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:14,559 Speaker 1: What can you tell us about that? Bill, Well, a 1353 01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:18,120 Speaker 1: good team, a team that's certainly better than the record indicates. 1354 01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:21,920 Speaker 1: But you know, if the Steelers play at the level 1355 01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:25,000 Speaker 1: where they played last week against Denver, they will not 1356 01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:27,640 Speaker 1: win this game. And I think Mike Tomlin knows that. 1357 01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:33,000 Speaker 1: He's also kind of planted the seed about discipline because 1358 01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:36,679 Speaker 1: they took some really really bad penalties last week and 1359 01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:39,800 Speaker 1: if you keep doing that that type thing in this league, 1360 01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:43,400 Speaker 1: you'll get beat. So I think they realize the challenge 1361 01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:44,800 Speaker 1: in front of them, and I think it should be 1362 01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:47,920 Speaker 1: an excellent football game. Bill. One more for you people 1363 01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,000 Speaker 1: who observe the Steelers at all their success. When the 1364 01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:53,719 Speaker 1: Steelers don't make the playoffs, or even make the playoffs, 1365 01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,920 Speaker 1: but don't get to the championship, don't win the championship, 1366 01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:00,400 Speaker 1: what is the reaction, like, have the expectations and so 1367 01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:02,439 Speaker 1: high because of all the success in the past that 1368 01:13:02,439 --> 01:13:05,240 Speaker 1: it's difficult to do anything positive. What about that part 1369 01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:07,720 Speaker 1: of it, Well, I think you have to kind of 1370 01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:10,320 Speaker 1: break down the fandom. And you're talking about the super 1371 01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:13,000 Speaker 1: zealous fans who think the Steelers should win the super 1372 01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:17,680 Speaker 1: Bowl every year. Certainly they're disappointed, but I think the 1373 01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:20,760 Speaker 1: fans that really know the game, I know how tough 1374 01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:24,400 Speaker 1: it is in this climate, and I'm talking about you know, 1375 01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:28,080 Speaker 1: the fact that teams are so even you know, I 1376 01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:31,679 Speaker 1: think they realize that, Okay, this team has a chance 1377 01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:35,040 Speaker 1: or it doesn't have a chance. But you know one thing, 1378 01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:38,559 Speaker 1: I think Steelers fans are spoiled to a degree that 1379 01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:43,679 Speaker 1: four and twelve would be unthinkable. Last year, we really 1380 01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:48,080 Speaker 1: basically didn't have a quarterback, you know, try as they might, 1381 01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:52,880 Speaker 1: you know, the two backups for Ben weren't Roethlisberger, and 1382 01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:56,320 Speaker 1: as a result, this team got to eight and eight. Well, 1383 01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:58,640 Speaker 1: some teams get in the playoffs. At eight and eight, 1384 01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:01,560 Speaker 1: they didn't make the playoffs. There was a lot of disappointment, 1385 01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:05,160 Speaker 1: but I think a lot of people knew why. Hopefully 1386 01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:07,719 Speaker 1: this year they have a little bit better luck with injuries. 1387 01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:11,840 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting when people talk about injuries. It 1388 01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:15,320 Speaker 1: to some people comes off as an excuse, but it 1389 01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:18,439 Speaker 1: really isn't. When you think about the twenty seventeen Texans, 1390 01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:24,080 Speaker 1: injuries ravage that starting group Sean Watson, w Merciless Nick 1391 01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:26,240 Speaker 1: Martin at the end of the year, JJ Watt, I mean, 1392 01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:31,600 Speaker 1: your biggest guns that whole year were dealing with injuries 1393 01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:33,760 Speaker 1: except for one that was DeAndre Hopkins and the other night. 1394 01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:37,720 Speaker 1: Everybody was dealing with injuries throughout that year. And for Pittsburgh, 1395 01:14:37,880 --> 01:14:40,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if it hit all throughout the team. 1396 01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:42,920 Speaker 1: It just hit the most important guy and that happened 1397 01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:47,280 Speaker 1: to be Ben Roethlisberger. And because of that, the Steelers 1398 01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:52,000 Speaker 1: ended up spending last year at home. I don't think 1399 01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:54,920 Speaker 1: that's going to happen again this year, especially with seven 1400 01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:58,160 Speaker 1: teams going to the playoffs and not six. All Right, 1401 01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:00,160 Speaker 1: it's a great way to kick off the second hour. 1402 01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:03,960 Speaker 1: We'll keep it going next with Drew Doherty's twelve Questions 1403 01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:07,719 Speaker 1: this week. It's a first. I think it's the first time, 1404 01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,519 Speaker 1: other than in the Texans Audio Jukebox, that we have 1405 01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:14,800 Speaker 1: had Vernon Hargraves on Texans Radio.

Business was great, 1409 01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:33,040 Speaker 1: and then the pandemic hit and I was like, oh 1410 01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:36,920 Speaker 1: my goodness, I needed someone who knew what they were doing. 1411 01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:40,320 Speaker 1: Jon Sling. She was at risk of being left behind, 1412 01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:45,440 Speaker 1: and I offered to Jabon was absolutely fantastic.

Maybe 1502 01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:09,880 Speaker 1: I'm wrong in this, but it's the first time that 1503 01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:15,719 Speaker 1: I can remember Vernon Hargraves being on Texans Radio. Yes, 1504 01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:19,920 Speaker 1: I love it, Yes, Vernon on the radio. Now. We 1505 01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:23,920 Speaker 1: would have had the opportunity back during the spring, I 1506 01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:28,360 Speaker 1: would imagine to catch up with Vernon, because Mark and 1507 01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:30,800 Speaker 1: I have a chance to pretty much catch up with everybody, 1508 01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:34,960 Speaker 1: and I'm sure they would have given us Vernon to 1509 01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:37,160 Speaker 1: get an opportunity to talk on the radio with us, 1510 01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:39,479 Speaker 1: But with COVID and all that stuff going on, we 1511 01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:42,800 Speaker 1: just didn't have that opportunity. And I don't think we 1512 01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:45,519 Speaker 1: had a chance to catch up with him during training camp. 1513 01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:50,599 Speaker 1: So this is the first opportunity. And what better way 1514 01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:55,400 Speaker 1: to join Texans Radio than to jump in with twelve 1515 01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:58,800 Speaker 1: Questions with Drew Doherty. Oh, it doesn't get any better 1516 01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:00,560 Speaker 1: than that. I love doing twelve question would drive what 1517 01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:02,599 Speaker 1: you would do with me? But he did it this 1518 01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:06,960 Speaker 1: week with Vernon Hargraves the third. Take a listen time 1519 01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:11,080 Speaker 1: now for twelve Questions with cornerback Vernon Hargraves the third. Vernon, 1520 01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,080 Speaker 1: Good to be with you, and let's start with the 1521 01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:17,200 Speaker 1: really tough stuff. What's the most overrated vegetable of them? All? 1522 01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:22,360 Speaker 1: Overrated vegetable? Uh oh, I love vegetable, so that's tough 1523 01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:28,400 Speaker 1: for me. Probably like squash. I like zucchini, squashing zucchini. 1524 01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:30,360 Speaker 1: I can go with that. I'm good with that. That'll work. 1525 01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:34,040 Speaker 1: You were really good at track in high school, and 1526 01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:36,120 Speaker 1: you're probably still good at track right now if you're running. 1527 01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:38,360 Speaker 1: But let's say you got a four by one hundred 1528 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:42,439 Speaker 1: team consisting only of Texans. You're on it. Who are 1529 01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:46,559 Speaker 1: the other three? I'm gonna go Will, Okay, Brandon Cooks 1530 01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:49,960 Speaker 1: and Keona Crossing? Really, Keion Crossing. I don't know that 1531 01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:52,120 Speaker 1: Manny would would have pegged him his one. You see 1532 01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:54,200 Speaker 1: it though, when he's flying down the field on kickoffs, 1533 01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:56,240 Speaker 1: So that'd be a good one. Yeah, he's won the 1534 01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:58,920 Speaker 1: fast on to see you for sure. Okay, Who's who's 1535 01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:04,680 Speaker 1: the anchor on that one? Uh, I'll give it to 1536 01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:07,880 Speaker 1: I'll give it to Will. Will. I think we'll could 1537 01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:09,920 Speaker 1: take us home there you go, all right? It's good 1538 01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:12,280 Speaker 1: for what. I'm a tracked nerd myself, so it's fun 1539 01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:16,320 Speaker 1: to hear these things. What's a little off the field 1540 01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:19,400 Speaker 1: talent that you have that maybe not everybody knows about. 1541 01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:26,120 Speaker 1: That's tough. I don't really I don't have too many 1542 01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:28,599 Speaker 1: things that I do outside of football that I'm really 1543 01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:31,280 Speaker 1: good at it. I'll consider a tablement. So that's a 1544 01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:33,200 Speaker 1: good question. I'm you know, I'm I'm gonna have to 1545 01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:35,360 Speaker 1: skip that one, but that's a good question. Think about 1546 01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 1: that one because like we've talked with Darren Fells and 1547 01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:40,000 Speaker 1: he can make sushi, he can cook sushi, and Brandon 1548 01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:44,000 Speaker 1: Cooks is a really really good still photographer. So just 1549 01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:46,680 Speaker 1: kind of think about along those. I'm gonna do a lot, man, 1550 01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:48,160 Speaker 1: you know, I think about it though. I got you, 1551 01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:50,920 Speaker 1: all right, your your laser focused on football. Nothing wrong 1552 01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:53,280 Speaker 1: with that, There's nothing right right, no matter at all? 1553 01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:57,000 Speaker 1: You know. All right? What is one app that you 1554 01:23:57,040 --> 01:24:05,080 Speaker 1: would never ever ever consider deleting from your cell phone? Uh? Snapchat? Snapchat? 1555 01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:09,080 Speaker 1: Really you're being on snapchat? A snapchat guy? Yeah?

Yeah yeah, yeah that that 1560 01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:27,760 Speaker 1: uh that wrote me the wrong way? Are you a 1561 01:24:27,800 --> 01:24:30,200 Speaker 1: horror film. Guy, I do like scary movies. But I 1562 01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:31,679 Speaker 1: was but I was young when I when I first 1563 01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:34,720 Speaker 1: saw saw so but I do like scary movies. Yeah. Yeah, 1564 01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:36,559 Speaker 1: if you're if you're young, when you see something like that, 1565 01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:38,960 Speaker 1: that can uh of course you know it.

Just Little Wayne's 1576 01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:16,599 Speaker 1: obviously my favorite artist.

Okay, let's wrap this up. 1652 01:29:14,120 --> 01:29:17,280 Speaker 1: What's the last thing, last meal you cooked for yourself 1653 01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:20,320 Speaker 1: or for somebody else? I had? Um? I did fried 1654 01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:24,639 Speaker 1: fishing grids. How long ago was that? Uh? It's probably 1655 01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:29,280 Speaker 1: we played a cheese so probably two weeks ago. Okay, 1656 01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:30,880 Speaker 1: that's not too good. Cook a lot, but I do 1657 01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:35,080 Speaker 1: a little sum something. There you go, Vernon, that's all 1658 01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:37,080 Speaker 1: we got for today. We appreciate you stopping by. This 1659 01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:40,320 Speaker 1: has been Drew's dozen with Vernon Hargraves, the third. Thank 1660 01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:44,759 Speaker 1: thank you, I appreciate it, Yes, sir, there he is. Finally, 1661 01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:49,599 Speaker 1: Vernon Hargraves, the third man. I love some of his choice. 1662 01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:52,400 Speaker 1: In fact, he gave me an idea for where I 1663 01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:55,360 Speaker 1: want to go to launch one of these days this week. 1664 01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:58,439 Speaker 1: A little fried chicken, I could. I could be down 1665 01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:00,240 Speaker 1: with some fried chicken. But the fact he made fried 1666 01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:06,200 Speaker 1: fishing grits, come on, please please make that for me, Vernon. 1667 01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:10,120 Speaker 1: I loved me some shrimping grits. I don't think I've 1668 01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:13,840 Speaker 1: ever had fried shripping grits, but it sounds fantastic. Make 1669 01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:16,800 Speaker 1: it happen. See, that's what you get with players from 1670 01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:20,880 Speaker 1: the South. Man they they they got a Jones enforced 1671 01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:24,040 Speaker 1: some good Southern food. And your boy here, having lived 1672 01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:26,960 Speaker 1: in Texas, lived in North Carolina, lived in Florida. I 1673 01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:29,480 Speaker 1: loved me some Southern food as well, which is obviously 1674 01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:32,240 Speaker 1: added to my waistline. But I've been taking it off. 1675 01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:36,400 Speaker 1: I'm not enormous, like JJ Watt called Sean Pendergas today 1676 01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:40,719 Speaker 1: during his Zoom meeting. It was just the way that 1677 01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:45,639 Speaker 1: that Sean had itself. JJ said, you are very clear, 1678 01:30:45,720 --> 01:30:48,720 Speaker 1: and you look enormous. I don't think you meant it 1679 01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:51,439 Speaker 1: that way, and of course Sean didn't take it as such. 1680 01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:57,840 Speaker 1: But either way, man, fried fishing grits get me down. Okay, 1681 01:30:57,880 --> 01:30:59,360 Speaker 1: maybe I need to Maybe I need to learn how 1682 01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:01,719 Speaker 1: to make that. Wife can make the shrimp and grits 1683 01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:04,920 Speaker 1: and makes it very very well fried fish. Though, that's 1684 01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:07,839 Speaker 1: one I've gotta I gotta master that. One man dabbling 1685 01:31:07,920 --> 01:31:11,799 Speaker 1: a little bit during coronavirus time with the cooking aspect. 1686 01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:14,360 Speaker 1: But I'm glad to see Vernon's done a little bit 1687 01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:17,240 Speaker 1: of that. Very interesting, guys, dad's been a coach and 1688 01:31:17,240 --> 01:31:19,679 Speaker 1: it was And when he was traded to the Texans, 1689 01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:21,920 Speaker 1: I texted buddy of mine who was the silent reporter 1690 01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:26,719 Speaker 1: for the Gators and was just recently Jacksonville Jacksonville Jackson 1691 01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:31,280 Speaker 1: State's wide receiver coach. But when Jackson State moved to 1692 01:31:31,360 --> 01:31:34,920 Speaker 1: the Spring, the school decided to go different direction with 1693 01:31:35,080 --> 01:31:38,800 Speaker 1: the head coach. And as happens pretty much throughout, when 1694 01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:40,840 Speaker 1: a head coach goes, coaching staff goes, and so a 1695 01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:42,880 Speaker 1: buddy was there, but either way, he was at the 1696 01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:48,160 Speaker 1: University of Florida as the sideline reporter. Knew that program 1697 01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:51,040 Speaker 1: in and out, and so I said, hey, what's your 1698 01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:54,920 Speaker 1: what's your thought on Vernon Hargraves And he got back 1699 01:31:54,920 --> 01:31:58,240 Speaker 1: to me and said, coaches absolutely loved him. He was 1700 01:31:58,439 --> 01:32:02,600 Speaker 1: the leader for a group that had a lot of alpha's. 1701 01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:05,559 Speaker 1: He said he was the alpha in that room when 1702 01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:07,720 Speaker 1: he was at the University of Florida. And he's coming 1703 01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:10,200 Speaker 1: to this program, this organization and done some good things 1704 01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:12,759 Speaker 1: for the Texans. He's made some key plays. At times, 1705 01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:15,760 Speaker 1: he's been playing outside, where I think he's probably best 1706 01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:20,160 Speaker 1: served to play inside a little bit more just body size, 1707 01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:23,439 Speaker 1: body type. But with Garyan Connolly banged up, with Lonnie 1708 01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:26,960 Speaker 1: Johnson kind of bouncing around a different positions, they've gone 1709 01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:29,639 Speaker 1: with Vernon on the outside, and I think this past 1710 01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:31,760 Speaker 1: defense has actually done a pretty good job. I want 1711 01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:34,960 Speaker 1: to say when I did know your phone, I was 1712 01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:38,400 Speaker 1: looking up stats with Steelers, the Texans passing defense. I 1713 01:32:38,439 --> 01:32:40,519 Speaker 1: think his second or third in the league with the 1714 01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:43,479 Speaker 1: least yards given up in the league, second or third 1715 01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:46,840 Speaker 1: least given up. So I thought that was a great 1716 01:32:46,840 --> 01:32:48,960 Speaker 1: thing for this defense and Vernon has been a big 1717 01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:52,360 Speaker 1: part of that. Now we will finish up by going 1718 01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:55,559 Speaker 1: in the lab.

We talked about a lot of different things 1811 01:38:54,320 --> 01:38:56,760 Speaker 1: on this in the Lab all at Drew tell you 1812 01:38:56,920 --> 01:39:00,719 Speaker 1: exactly what it was. What if I told you John 1813 01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:03,960 Speaker 1: and I love thirty for thirty So do you? Yeah? 1814 01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:06,320 Speaker 1: We are. We eat it up whenever it comes out. 1815 01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:09,200 Speaker 1: We love it. So it's such such good stuff. But 1816 01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:12,080 Speaker 1: that that's that man's voice. I don't know who voices it. 1817 01:39:12,120 --> 01:39:14,360 Speaker 1: But what if I told you and then he goes in. 1818 01:39:15,320 --> 01:39:19,599 Speaker 1: So what if I told you John, then on Sunday 1819 01:39:19,720 --> 01:39:24,880 Speaker 1: the Texans would sack Lamar Jackson four times. What if 1820 01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:30,360 Speaker 1: I told you that they'd hold the Ravens to about 1821 01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:34,360 Speaker 1: thirty five percent on third down thirty six percent if 1822 01:39:34,360 --> 01:39:36,240 Speaker 1: you want to get nitpicky about it, but still thirty 1823 01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:38,800 Speaker 1: six percent on third down. What if I told you 1824 01:39:38,840 --> 01:39:41,880 Speaker 1: those two things, would you be feeling good about a 1825 01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:46,960 Speaker 1: Texans victory? I would ask back, because you always got 1826 01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:50,080 Speaker 1: to answer a question with the question right, yea, how 1827 01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:52,840 Speaker 1: many times did we turn it over? And then you 1828 01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:56,120 Speaker 1: would tell me three and I would be like, it 1829 01:39:56,280 --> 01:39:59,639 Speaker 1: probably didn't work out for us, Yeah, because you're right. 1830 01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:03,479 Speaker 1: And it's interesting, Drew, because we've not done this twice. Now. 1831 01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:07,240 Speaker 1: When we've talked about the previous week, we've talked about 1832 01:40:07,280 --> 01:40:12,479 Speaker 1: the things that we didn't really expect. We didn't expect 1833 01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:15,200 Speaker 1: the Texans to whold Patrick Mahomes to two hundred eleven 1834 01:40:15,280 --> 01:40:19,040 Speaker 1: passing yards to really kind of curtail the passing game 1835 01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:22,720 Speaker 1: of the Chiefs. And yet the Texans lost that game, 1836 01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:26,200 Speaker 1: give up thirty four points, but seven they got off. 1837 01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:31,120 Speaker 1: They got a field goal off the the long on 1838 01:40:31,240 --> 01:40:33,439 Speaker 1: site kick return and then they got a touchdown off 1839 01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:37,120 Speaker 1: the interception. So you know, that's ten points to thirty four. 1840 01:40:38,320 --> 01:40:41,720 Speaker 1: Thirty three points the other day, fourteen were pretty much 1841 01:40:41,720 --> 01:40:45,519 Speaker 1: a direct result of turnovers. The fourth down conversion I 1842 01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:48,240 Speaker 1: called turnover, and then the true turnover the fumble that 1843 01:40:48,280 --> 01:40:52,680 Speaker 1: was returned for a touchdown. So yeah, you know, the 1844 01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:57,519 Speaker 1: diving further. His defense has actually done some things that 1845 01:40:57,560 --> 01:41:00,240 Speaker 1: people didn't think it could do. You nailed it. Could 1846 01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:04,559 Speaker 1: they hold Patrick Mahomes under two hundred and fifty yards passing? 1847 01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:07,599 Speaker 1: Heck three hundred yards passing? They did that. I should 1848 01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:09,800 Speaker 1: have been I should have thrown this into And what 1849 01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:12,519 Speaker 1: if I told you? If I told the Ravens only 1850 01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:15,360 Speaker 1: had one hundred and seventy seven passing yards, you felt 1851 01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:17,559 Speaker 1: pretty good, right, yeah? I mean, you know, what was 1852 01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:19,519 Speaker 1: the what was the concern we had going into this year? 1853 01:41:19,560 --> 01:41:24,559 Speaker 1: Really the secondary and you all honesty, the secondary has 1854 01:41:24,600 --> 01:41:28,760 Speaker 1: not given up big plays down the field. Then they 1855 01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:33,120 Speaker 1: have been pristine and perfect. But they've done a really 1856 01:41:33,240 --> 01:41:37,479 Speaker 1: nice job I think overall kind of keeping everything in front, 1857 01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:41,120 Speaker 1: coming up and making tackles. I think the front has 1858 01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:44,880 Speaker 1: done some good things. But the run game and the 1859 01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:46,880 Speaker 1: thing is is I felt like for the most part 1860 01:41:46,880 --> 01:41:49,960 Speaker 1: through three quarters, I feel like the Texas were sort 1861 01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:53,120 Speaker 1: of holding their own against the Ravens running game. But 1862 01:41:53,200 --> 01:41:55,439 Speaker 1: then the fourth quarter of the dam broke and Gus 1863 01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:59,040 Speaker 1: Edwards got rolling and that really kind of opened things up. 1864 01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:01,479 Speaker 1: Then you have Ingram's yard run. Yeah, Gus Edwards so 1865 01:42:01,520 --> 01:42:03,880 Speaker 1: I think had all his yards maybe in the late third, 1866 01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:07,360 Speaker 1: early fourth or a fourth quarter, and then Dobbins had 1867 01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:09,479 Speaker 1: his forty four yard run in the fourth quarter, so 1868 01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:12,040 Speaker 1: it was like you got to have fourth quarter and 1869 01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:14,880 Speaker 1: it was like a combination of you ran out of 1870 01:42:14,880 --> 01:42:19,120 Speaker 1: gas and with four able bodies to run the ball 1871 01:42:19,680 --> 01:42:25,240 Speaker 1: for the time for the Ravens with Dobbins, with mark Ingram, 1872 01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:27,800 Speaker 1: with Gus Edwards and Lamar Jackson, well they can they 1873 01:42:27,840 --> 01:42:30,400 Speaker 1: wear you down? Yeah, And they wore the Texans down, 1874 01:42:30,439 --> 01:42:32,439 Speaker 1: And that really, I think was the difference in the 1875 01:42:32,439 --> 01:42:36,720 Speaker 1: fourth quarter outside of the three turnovers the Texans offense had. 1876 01:42:37,439 --> 01:42:38,920 Speaker 1: All Right, So that's gonna move us on to the 1877 01:42:38,960 --> 01:42:41,680 Speaker 1: Steelers game. Let's forget this raven stuff. Texans are owned two. 1878 01:42:41,720 --> 01:42:44,760 Speaker 1: They got to get a win. It's not gonna be 1879 01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:47,479 Speaker 1: easy going up to Pittsburgh, but it's interesting. A guy 1880 01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:50,960 Speaker 1: who's covered that that team, that city for a long 1881 01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:54,840 Speaker 1: long time. He's very outspoken about many things, but he's 1882 01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:56,680 Speaker 1: an og I think he kind of you gotta take 1883 01:42:56,680 --> 01:43:00,160 Speaker 1: everything he says, and you know there's some weight too it. 1884 01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:03,240 Speaker 1: Mark Madden, he kind of He said, the Steelers have 1885 01:43:03,320 --> 01:43:07,280 Speaker 1: had their preseason. They've played two preseason games. Now he's 1886 01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:10,640 Speaker 1: going a little bit dramatic there, but they played the 1887 01:43:10,640 --> 01:43:13,080 Speaker 1: Broncos and they played the Jets, and that those teams 1888 01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:16,200 Speaker 1: are struggling. They're in the valley right now, and they 1889 01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:18,840 Speaker 1: won and they want it handily. He was saying, Hey, 1890 01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:20,360 Speaker 1: on the flip side, the Texans to play the two 1891 01:43:20,360 --> 01:43:22,880 Speaker 1: best teams in the NFL. Maybe so now this is 1892 01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:25,720 Speaker 1: the first real test. I don't know. Part of me 1893 01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:28,240 Speaker 1: wants to think, boy, this is could this could be 1894 01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:31,200 Speaker 1: some sunshine coming the Texans way because maybe we have 1895 01:43:31,439 --> 01:43:33,799 Speaker 1: seen the very best of the best and the Texans 1896 01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:36,560 Speaker 1: maybe they can they can pull off a win on 1897 01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:38,200 Speaker 1: the road. It's gonna be hard, but I've got to 1898 01:43:38,240 --> 01:43:40,080 Speaker 1: go back to this non negotiable of mind. And it's 1899 01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:45,120 Speaker 1: nothing groundbreaking, it's nothing new, but they have to get 1900 01:43:45,160 --> 01:43:50,000 Speaker 1: better at the turnover, takeaway ratio the turnover margin, because 1901 01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:53,880 Speaker 1: they've been abysmal this season, and they've been bad about 1902 01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:56,639 Speaker 1: it since about week six week five of last year. 1903 01:43:56,960 --> 01:43:58,880 Speaker 1: They were sort of right around the middle of the pack, 1904 01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:02,360 Speaker 1: holding their own maybe not one above, one below for 1905 01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:04,320 Speaker 1: the most part, and then it was just a steady 1906 01:44:04,439 --> 01:44:07,280 Speaker 1: downward trend and they managed to win ten games in 1907 01:44:07,360 --> 01:44:11,519 Speaker 1: spite of all that. But that's kind of an outlying thing. 1908 01:44:11,600 --> 01:44:13,960 Speaker 1: You don't normally win all those games when you're when 1909 01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:16,439 Speaker 1: you're underwater turn over wise, I don't care how you 1910 01:44:16,520 --> 01:44:19,080 Speaker 1: do it. I don't care if it's picks. I don't 1911 01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:22,040 Speaker 1: care if it's fumbles. I don't care if you don't 1912 01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:23,960 Speaker 1: do anything and don't turn the ball over or you 1913 01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:26,519 Speaker 1: turn over once, but you get more. You just gotta 1914 01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:29,679 Speaker 1: You gotta get ahead in that that margin. And I think, 1915 01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:32,280 Speaker 1: knock on wood, you're probably gonna win a game. I'm 1916 01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:34,400 Speaker 1: not gonna guarantee it, because we saw the Texans last year. 1917 01:44:35,080 --> 01:44:37,040 Speaker 1: They won a bunch of games without doing that, and 1918 01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:40,040 Speaker 1: I don't think that's the steady, consistent way to win. 1919 01:44:40,120 --> 01:44:42,880 Speaker 1: But they gotta do something, and I think they can 1920 01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:46,400 Speaker 1: do something because we've seen in his history Ben Roethlisberger. 1921 01:44:46,600 --> 01:44:48,559 Speaker 1: He can get picked off. You know, he can get 1922 01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:51,000 Speaker 1: careless with the ball. We've seen it happen when the 1923 01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:54,280 Speaker 1: Texans played Ben Roethlisberger eight nine years ago. How much 1924 01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:57,639 Speaker 1: different players he versus two thousand eleven, but pretty different, 1925 01:44:57,640 --> 01:44:59,920 Speaker 1: but he's still very very savvy's he can still get 1926 01:44:59,920 --> 01:45:02,160 Speaker 1: the job done. And this is another test for the 1927 01:45:02,200 --> 01:45:05,080 Speaker 1: Texans on the road. John, what's your non negotiable Texans 1928 01:45:05,080 --> 01:45:08,920 Speaker 1: gotta do to win the game. Well, I mean, I 1929 01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:11,400 Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is they've got to run the football. 1930 01:45:12,360 --> 01:45:15,439 Speaker 1: And I know that sounds simplistic, and you talk to 1931 01:45:15,520 --> 01:45:18,240 Speaker 1: the analytics guys. The analytics guys are like, Dah, you can't. 1932 01:45:18,280 --> 01:45:20,160 Speaker 1: You don't have to establish the run. You don't have 1933 01:45:20,200 --> 01:45:23,679 Speaker 1: to do this. But I think that comment works for 1934 01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:26,559 Speaker 1: some teams and not for others. I think this Texans 1935 01:45:26,560 --> 01:45:30,880 Speaker 1: team needs to run the ball. It's constructed to be 1936 01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:35,960 Speaker 1: able to run the football, and it just hasn't. And 1937 01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:39,360 Speaker 1: I think they've got to pound the rock. Hopefully Duke 1938 01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:41,800 Speaker 1: Johnson will be healthy and ready to go. I still 1939 01:45:41,800 --> 01:45:44,600 Speaker 1: would like to see what CJ. Prosie could do, but 1940 01:45:45,400 --> 01:45:48,360 Speaker 1: they ran the ball I think eleven times with David 1941 01:45:48,439 --> 01:45:51,160 Speaker 1: Johnson the other day for I think thirty four yards. 1942 01:45:51,240 --> 01:45:54,200 Speaker 1: Deshaun I think had it for seven or eight. He 1943 01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:57,760 Speaker 1: didn't really have his normal thirty five to forty that 1944 01:45:57,840 --> 01:46:00,240 Speaker 1: he usually gets. But even at that point, you know, 1945 01:46:00,360 --> 01:46:04,240 Speaker 1: David had no room. Nothing was there against the Ravens 1946 01:46:04,640 --> 01:46:08,400 Speaker 1: and that's got to change. And it's not gonna be 1947 01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:11,240 Speaker 1: easy against the Steelers, but you gotta knock some dudes 1948 01:46:11,280 --> 01:46:13,320 Speaker 1: off the ball. And I know the Steelers are tough 1949 01:46:13,360 --> 01:46:17,000 Speaker 1: against the run. They're tough just defensively, but the way 1950 01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:21,719 Speaker 1: this team is constructed and defensively, to give that unit 1951 01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:24,960 Speaker 1: a break, to give them time to sit on the 1952 01:46:25,080 --> 01:46:28,599 Speaker 1: sidelines and rest before they have to go back out 1953 01:46:28,640 --> 01:46:32,400 Speaker 1: and face a solid offense. And the Steelers, led by Ben, 1954 01:46:32,960 --> 01:46:35,120 Speaker 1: you've got to give them time. You've got to give 1955 01:46:35,160 --> 01:46:37,519 Speaker 1: them an opportunity. You've got to take the margin for 1956 01:46:37,760 --> 01:46:40,240 Speaker 1: error out of the Shawn's hands for a little bit. 1957 01:46:40,640 --> 01:46:43,160 Speaker 1: I mean, he's trying to carry He's like he's got 1958 01:46:43,160 --> 01:46:45,120 Speaker 1: the backpack and it's just you know, it's like the 1959 01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:48,200 Speaker 1: little little kid in seventh grade who's like fifty pounds 1960 01:46:48,520 --> 01:46:51,000 Speaker 1: and he's carrying his backpack around. He's just like, oh, 1961 01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:53,720 Speaker 1: he's like leaned over like this, and I'm like, he 1962 01:46:54,400 --> 01:46:57,760 Speaker 1: as good as the Shawn is his best friend can 1963 01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:00,760 Speaker 1: be the running game, and they just haven't been able 1964 01:47:00,800 --> 01:47:05,280 Speaker 1: to run the ball effectively like they should with this 1965 01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:10,479 Speaker 1: offensive line. Now, offensive line wise, that group's got to 1966 01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:13,559 Speaker 1: really get its act together. They can't have four guys 1967 01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:15,360 Speaker 1: step in one way to run one guy going the 1968 01:47:15,400 --> 01:47:17,960 Speaker 1: wrong way. You know that happened against the Ravens. They've 1969 01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:22,440 Speaker 1: got to be on point. So underlying my non negotiable 1970 01:47:23,040 --> 01:47:27,840 Speaker 1: about the running game, my subset would be, you gotta 1971 01:47:27,880 --> 01:47:30,760 Speaker 1: quit making the silly mistakes and you gotta quit making 1972 01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:33,880 Speaker 1: the big mistakes. You talk about turnovers, Yet the interception 1973 01:47:34,240 --> 01:47:38,920 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs that went back, that return led to 1974 01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:42,519 Speaker 1: a short field, and the touchdown you fumble that led 1975 01:47:42,560 --> 01:47:45,840 Speaker 1: to a touchdown you didn't convert on fourth down, which 1976 01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,160 Speaker 1: is truly on the offense. To me, that's a turnover 1977 01:47:48,640 --> 01:47:50,400 Speaker 1: that was a short field for the Ravens that led 1978 01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:53,240 Speaker 1: to a touchdown. I gave the defense credit because it 1979 01:47:53,320 --> 01:47:58,479 Speaker 1: eliminated one of the turnovers impact because sudden change defense 1980 01:47:58,640 --> 01:48:02,800 Speaker 1: was perfect. Sean through. The interception defense went out three 1981 01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:04,800 Speaker 1: and out, got the ball back, went down to kick 1982 01:48:04,880 --> 01:48:08,599 Speaker 1: the fuel goal before halftime. So the defense absorbed the 1983 01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:12,640 Speaker 1: blow of that third turnover, but then turned around and 1984 01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:15,480 Speaker 1: was able to stop them on a three and out situation. 1985 01:48:15,600 --> 01:48:18,080 Speaker 1: So it was good work by the defense there. But 1986 01:48:18,320 --> 01:48:20,760 Speaker 1: you can't put the defense. You can't consistently put the 1987 01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:23,760 Speaker 1: defense on a short field. The defense cospection to give 1988 01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:27,280 Speaker 1: up points, swinging its sword, taking a step back, defending 1989 01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:30,120 Speaker 1: you know, the on rush. And then finally they got 1990 01:48:30,160 --> 01:48:31,840 Speaker 1: backed up against the wall and it was it. I mean, 1991 01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:34,720 Speaker 1: that's they did their job and then but you can 1992 01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:36,840 Speaker 1: only do your job so many times before it an 1993 01:48:36,840 --> 01:48:39,160 Speaker 1: offense like that much less any offense, but an offense 1994 01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:41,640 Speaker 1: like that has its way. All right, those are the 1995 01:48:41,680 --> 01:48:44,400 Speaker 1: two non negotiables. Now we're gonna get random. Okay, John, 1996 01:48:44,760 --> 01:48:46,839 Speaker 1: you know this, Many of the listeners know this, watchers 1997 01:48:46,880 --> 01:48:49,759 Speaker 1: know this. I have four little children, twins that are seven, 1998 01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:52,160 Speaker 1: a boy and a girl, a five year old boy 1999 01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:54,880 Speaker 1: and then a two year old girl. So one on 2000 01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:57,240 Speaker 1: one time with each of the kids is kind of sparse. 2001 01:48:57,280 --> 01:48:59,080 Speaker 1: We try to do it, you know, but it's just tough. 2002 01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:02,320 Speaker 1: You know what. My wife works as well, a part 2003 01:49:02,320 --> 01:49:03,920 Speaker 1: time job, but you know, we both work. It's tough 2004 01:49:03,960 --> 01:49:06,800 Speaker 1: to have one on one time. However, I had to 2005 01:49:06,840 --> 01:49:10,759 Speaker 1: go pick something up across about five ten minutes away 2006 01:49:10,840 --> 01:49:14,120 Speaker 1: a week or so ago. Yeah, Robert, my oldest, my 2007 01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:16,479 Speaker 1: seven year old, he was with me. It was just 2008 01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:20,439 Speaker 1: the two of us. So Robert got in the car first, 2009 01:49:20,479 --> 01:49:22,000 Speaker 1: and as I was getting in, I think Robert and 2010 01:49:22,080 --> 01:49:28,720 Speaker 1: his mind was basically like this, He's like and when 2011 01:49:28,720 --> 01:49:32,080 Speaker 1: the car ignition started, he was like a machine gun 2012 01:49:32,120 --> 01:49:36,719 Speaker 1: with questions. It's I mean, question after question after questions. 2013 01:49:36,720 --> 01:49:38,719 Speaker 1: It was all football stuff because he's gotten all cool 2014 01:49:38,920 --> 01:49:40,720 Speaker 1: and it's good. I like it, it's really good. But 2015 01:49:40,760 --> 01:49:42,519 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, it's a good I don't. Well, yeah, 2016 01:49:42,560 --> 01:49:45,280 Speaker 1: I'm answering these questions and this question out of nowhere, 2017 01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:49,960 Speaker 1: and he's basically asking like about Texans personnel, some rules stuff, 2018 01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:53,600 Speaker 1: you know, basically staying within the wheelhouse pretty easy. And 2019 01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:56,559 Speaker 1: then out of nowhere he goes, what is your biggest 2020 01:49:56,600 --> 01:50:01,559 Speaker 1: play in NFL history? Do you have one? Well, the 2021 01:50:01,640 --> 01:50:04,360 Speaker 1: one to me that always will stand out because when 2022 01:50:04,360 --> 01:50:07,200 Speaker 1: I was Robert's age, I lived in Wisconsin. I moved 2023 01:50:07,240 --> 01:50:10,760 Speaker 1: to Texas when I was eleven, and when I was 2024 01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:14,520 Speaker 1: growing up in Wisconsin, I think it was probably mandatory 2025 01:50:14,840 --> 01:50:17,840 Speaker 1: of all coaches sons at least to learn the history 2026 01:50:17,840 --> 01:50:21,479 Speaker 1: of the Green Bay Packers. And so it was one 2027 01:50:21,960 --> 01:50:26,920 Speaker 1: yard and that was it. It's one yard, But that 2028 01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:29,120 Speaker 1: to me was Bart's starr with a sneak in the 2029 01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:32,840 Speaker 1: Ice Bowl. Now a lot of people will say Frank o' 2030 01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:38,000 Speaker 1: harris immaculate reception. I think one that will grow in 2031 01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:40,800 Speaker 1: stature maybe through the years. The further we get away 2032 01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:45,120 Speaker 1: from it is Malcolm Butler's interception against the Seahawks and 2033 01:50:45,200 --> 01:50:48,520 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Yeah, because that was about as improbable 2034 01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:53,080 Speaker 1: as it gets, just the Seahawks throwing the ball, being 2035 01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:55,160 Speaker 1: down there, the type of game it was, it was 2036 01:50:55,200 --> 01:51:01,360 Speaker 1: an incredible football game. And Malcolm Butler story coming from 2037 01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:06,720 Speaker 1: West Georgia being a undrafted free agent. Somehow he's on 2038 01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:12,679 Speaker 1: the field that game because the Patriots dbs aren't playing 2039 01:51:12,720 --> 01:51:16,439 Speaker 1: exceptionally well and they decided, you know what, let's give 2040 01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:19,559 Speaker 1: Malcolm a shot. And somehow he's in the right spot 2041 01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:21,679 Speaker 1: at the right time. And they just happened to work 2042 01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:24,760 Speaker 1: on that exact play against Malcolm in practice that week 2043 01:51:25,160 --> 01:51:27,080 Speaker 1: and he couldn't stop it. But the one time he 2044 01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:31,280 Speaker 1: needed to, he did stop it. So from that perspective, 2045 01:51:31,479 --> 01:51:34,680 Speaker 1: I you know, the bart Stars sneaked against the Cowboys 2046 01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:36,439 Speaker 1: because it was beating the Cowboys. Two in the Ice 2047 01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:39,120 Speaker 1: Bowl was one at Wall was remember because I was 2048 01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:41,720 Speaker 1: the first time that a team won three championships a row, 2049 01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:45,200 Speaker 1: the Packers led by Vince Lombardi. But man, that interception, 2050 01:51:45,280 --> 01:51:48,840 Speaker 1: my Malcolm Butler is one that it's Man, that's a 2051 01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:51,800 Speaker 1: hard one to beat from especially recent times. Those are 2052 01:51:51,800 --> 01:51:55,280 Speaker 1: really both both excellent choices. I gotta follow up and 2053 01:51:55,360 --> 01:51:57,759 Speaker 1: just kind of add in my own little personal note 2054 01:51:57,920 --> 01:52:00,439 Speaker 1: on the Ice Bowl one. So a long time ago 2055 01:52:00,600 --> 01:52:03,720 Speaker 1: two thousand and two thousand and four, I produced a 2056 01:52:03,760 --> 01:52:06,519 Speaker 1: few TV shows at a station in Dallas called t 2057 01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:09,760 Speaker 1: XCN Texas Cable News. They are all sports shows. At 2058 01:52:09,760 --> 01:52:11,439 Speaker 1: the end of my time there, I was filling in 2059 01:52:11,479 --> 01:52:13,880 Speaker 1: as a sports anchor, but mainly I was a producer. 2060 01:52:14,120 --> 01:52:16,440 Speaker 1: And one of those shows that I produced was Cadillac 2061 01:52:16,880 --> 01:52:20,320 Speaker 1: Texas Legends in Sports and it was awesome. We came 2062 01:52:20,320 --> 01:52:22,280 Speaker 1: down here in Mary lou Retten's house in Houston. We 2063 01:52:22,320 --> 01:52:25,439 Speaker 1: came to put Tom Jonovitch's house in Houston. We went 2064 01:52:25,479 --> 01:52:27,960 Speaker 1: down to Austin, interviewed Darryl Royal, We went down a 2065 01:52:28,040 --> 01:52:31,000 Speaker 1: bullyad at some time with bum Phillips. But I think 2066 01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:34,960 Speaker 1: the biggest sort of get for us we went to 2067 01:52:35,040 --> 01:52:38,760 Speaker 1: Santa Fe, New Mexico, and we did the first televised 2068 01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:42,479 Speaker 1: interview with Don Meredith in twenty years. He hadn't done 2069 01:52:42,520 --> 01:52:45,719 Speaker 1: anything on TV really since he left Monday Night Football 2070 01:52:45,720 --> 01:52:48,160 Speaker 1: back in the nineteen eighty four nineteen eighty five. He 2071 01:52:48,320 --> 01:52:50,400 Speaker 1: was awesome. I you know, I kind of had a 2072 01:52:50,439 --> 01:52:53,320 Speaker 1: connection to him because he played at SMU way back 2073 01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:55,439 Speaker 1: when in late fift so I went to SMU and 2074 01:52:55,439 --> 01:52:58,479 Speaker 1: I thought that was really neat. But we talked at 2075 01:52:58,520 --> 01:53:02,040 Speaker 1: length about that that game, the Ice Bowl, and he 2076 01:53:02,160 --> 01:53:06,600 Speaker 1: said basically, he said, like the weather that day was 2077 01:53:06,640 --> 01:53:10,200 Speaker 1: like a twelfth and thirteenth man for the Packers because 2078 01:53:10,560 --> 01:53:12,800 Speaker 1: that offense of the Cowboys, they had bullet Bob Hayes, 2079 01:53:12,800 --> 01:53:15,559 Speaker 1: who's a Hall of Famer, averaged about twenty one yards 2080 01:53:15,560 --> 01:53:18,160 Speaker 1: a catch. I mean, they couldn't go deep. Bob Hayes 2081 01:53:18,200 --> 01:53:21,200 Speaker 1: spent the whole time with his hands in that little 2082 01:53:21,760 --> 01:53:25,160 Speaker 1: pouch because his hands were fold so that eliminated so 2083 01:53:25,280 --> 01:53:27,200 Speaker 1: much of their offense. And it was interesting here in 2084 01:53:27,280 --> 01:53:30,800 Speaker 1: Don Meredith. He said, like his his coffee froze. He 2085 01:53:30,840 --> 01:53:32,920 Speaker 1: had set it next to the window sill in his 2086 01:53:32,960 --> 01:53:35,160 Speaker 1: hotel room and it froze. He was still inside and 2087 01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:38,360 Speaker 1: it froze. But yeah, that's that's a great choice. Yeah, 2088 01:53:38,520 --> 01:53:41,400 Speaker 1: after some thought, I racked my brain. I went with 2089 01:53:41,439 --> 01:53:48,519 Speaker 1: the catch Montana to Clark to win the NFC way 2090 01:53:48,520 --> 01:53:52,040 Speaker 1: back when in eighty two eighty one, And I thought 2091 01:53:52,040 --> 01:53:53,760 Speaker 1: that was a good one. But there's so many you know, 2092 01:53:53,800 --> 01:53:56,240 Speaker 1: you can go with Unitis to Amici in that game. 2093 01:53:56,280 --> 01:53:58,639 Speaker 1: There's there's other way, But that's what I went with. 2094 01:53:59,439 --> 01:54:01,920 Speaker 1: Due the one you came up with match ours. Well, 2095 01:54:02,400 --> 01:54:06,120 Speaker 1: If so, you're pretty smart. If not, you're probably smarter 2096 01:54:06,120 --> 01:54:08,120 Speaker 1: than both of us. There's no question about that, all right, 2097 01:54:08,160 --> 01:54:12,880 Speaker 1: Big thanks to Deep City, to Missy Matthews, to Drew Doherty, 2098 01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:16,120 Speaker 1: to Vernon Hargraves, to Mark Vanimir, to Bill hill Grove, 2099 01:54:16,400 --> 01:54:19,240 Speaker 1: to all of you for listening.
