And we are 59 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: going to start with the head coach of your Houston Texans, 60 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien, with a little Texans audio jukebox. Oh baby, 61 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: let's start with the jukebox And let's start with coach 62 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien talking about the quarterback that the Texans will 63 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: face on Saturday, and that is Josh Allen, And he said, 64 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: this guy is a really good football player. I mean, 65 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: this guy's thrown for three thousand yards and he's got 66 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: five hundred yards rushing. I mean, this guy is a 67 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: dangerous player. I mean, I mean, this guy's thrown for 68 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: three thousand yards and he's got five hundred yards rushing. 69 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is a dangerous player. I mean, 70 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: he's he does a lot of things. Well, Um, he's 71 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: a he's a great competitor. Never thinks the play is over. Um, 72 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: there's the play that's called in the huddle and then 73 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: the play that maybe run wins the ball snap because 74 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: of his ability, you know, he can escape, he can run. 75 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: They have design runs for him. They and then obviously 76 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: he scrambles, so has the ability to scramble. So it's 77 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: a it's a big it's a big challenge for us. Now, 78 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: one of the challenges the Texans are going to have 79 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: in this ball game is moving the football against that defense, 80 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: very very good unit on that side. And coach said, look, 81 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough to move the football. Every blade 82 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: of grats will be earned in this one. You got 83 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: to earn every yard you make. You know, you gotta 84 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: be They're they're very discipline They're very good at what 85 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: they do. Um, you have to be disciplined. You've got 86 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: to do a lot of things that are basic fundamental football. 87 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: You've got to take care of the football. You've got 88 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: to really just eliminate mistakes. You have to be able 89 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: to drive the ball. They just do a lot of 90 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: things well. So you have to be very disciplined, and 91 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: you've got to really go out there and and everything 92 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: you get. I mean, they're they're a top five defense 93 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 1: for a reason. Yeah, they've got a lot of players 94 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. I did tell Straitor 95 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: showing what they're able to do, the different schemes they 96 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: throw at, two different things they can do. They've got 97 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: pretty much everything you would like in a defense at 98 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: all three levels. It is going to be very difficult. 99 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: But the man at the helm for the Texans, DeShawn Watson. Yeah, 100 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: this guy's a special quarterback. We all know that. And 101 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: coach said he knew right away that Deshaun was special. 102 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: I would say for me. That was when I met him. 103 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: You know, I think first impressions, you know, at the 104 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: combine and then when he came here for his pre 105 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: draft visit. Just the way he carries himself. He got 106 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: great poise, It's got an excellent memory, He's got great 107 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: communication skills. He's able to talk to you about a 108 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: lot of different things, got a big heart, cares about 109 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: his teammates. He's a winner, cares about winning, do whatever 110 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: it takes to win. And that came across in the 111 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: first two meetings. So I'd say it was way before 112 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: he got here and on the practice field, and you know, 113 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: he did some things in rookie minicamp that you know, 114 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: we're really unbelievable plays. But it was way before that 115 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: that you knew that he had somebody that you know, 116 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: could be a special player. And coach really enjoys being 117 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: around him, as most everybody, if not everybody in this 118 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: building does. He's a really good guy to talk football 119 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: with because he really sees the game. He really understands 120 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: the game. He has a great feel for the game 121 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: and how the offense is supposed to be run versus 122 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: whatever we're talking about. Defensively, I think his memory is excellent. 123 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: He can remember things that happened his rookie year or 124 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: when I first met him, things that happened, you know, 125 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: during his career at Clemson. He's got a really good 126 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: memory of plays, and he knows how to either correct 127 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: what may have happened or continue to build on what 128 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: may have happened. And he's got great poise. He's got 129 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: really good poise. You know, anybody that's been around him 130 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: for a long time. He doesn't have any fear. He 131 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: has no fear and he and he goes into every game. 132 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: He has a lot of fun playing. You see the 133 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: smile on his face. He loves playing football and he 134 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: loves being out there with his teammates. It's past Sunday 135 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: when it's's played the Titans. One of the things that 136 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: I tried to reiterate when Mark would throw it down 137 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: to me to give a you know, in game hit 138 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: and talk about this was, Look, there were not starters 139 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: playing all the way throughout, but there were some guys 140 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: that had played throughout the year, had started throughout the 141 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: year that we're gonna have to play. You only have 142 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: forty six available on only forty three position players, So 143 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,119 Speaker 1: guys are gonna have to step up, and in certain 144 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: cases some guys might get opportunity to do things that 145 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: maybe they didn't earlier. And a guy that took advantage 146 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: of that on Sunday a little bit was Jordan Nakens. 147 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: He caught five passes, did a really nice job pretty 148 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: much playing the entire game catching the ball, making plays 149 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: happen after he caught the ball, and coach talked about 150 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: the step forward that Ake has taken this year. I 151 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: think he knows our offense better, and he knows his 152 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: role better, and he understands, like you just said, he 153 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: understands NFL defenses. He understands, you know, coverages better than 154 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: he did. I think he's had a lot of experience. 155 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: He works hard, he tries to get better every day. 156 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: We got a lot of guys like that, and so 157 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: I think he's learned from his experience. Yeah, he's done 158 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: a really nice job. And I thought the other day 159 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: he caught it. I thought he ran after the catch 160 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: very very well. And this has been a good year 161 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: for a he ended. He finished the year with thirty 162 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: six catches four and eighteen yards, and he had those 163 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: two touchdowns against the LA Chargers. Almost called him San 164 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: Diego Chargers, but the LA Chargers earlier. He's done a 165 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: really good job this year in his second year, and 166 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: hopefully he'll continue to progress. But the tight ends accounted 167 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: for this year Fells thirty four catches, Aikins thirty six. 168 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: That's seventy catches, nine touchdowns and seven hundred fifty nine 169 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: yards to the year. That's a pretty solid year for 170 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: the tight end group, kind of splitting the production. But 171 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: Fells obviously down the red zone has been hugely important 172 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 1: and Fellas didn't played the other day. Ake did so 173 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: good job this year by the tight ends and in 174 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: particular Jordan Aikins. Now a guy that was added to 175 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: the running back mix in training camp and became a 176 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: big part of this offense is Duke Johnson. He's significant 177 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: part of that offense. And it agrees with me, Bill 178 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: a Brun. Duke's done a good job. Duke's a smart guy. 179 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: Duke's you know, like you said, good route runner out 180 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: of the backfield, but a good runner too, a good 181 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: runner from the backfield. So he's done a lot of 182 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: good things for us. Really smart, you know, was able 183 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: to come in here and pick up the offense and 184 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: help us this year, no doubt about. Yeah, he's done 185 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: a really good job and everything he's asked to do. 186 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: He lines up in different spots. He lines up as 187 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: a receiver, outside receiver, running back, goes in motion. I mean, 188 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: he does a lot of different things. Duke Johnson has 189 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: done a whale of a job for this team. Now 190 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: he's just one running back that will see the field. 191 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: Another one is the guy that's on the other sideline. 192 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: And it feels like Frank Gore has been there forever 193 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: coach obviously paying homage to the long time running back 194 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: Frank Gore. Frank Gord's one of the best ever. Do 195 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: it Frank or you know you just said it. I 196 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: mean the way the way he runs. He runs very hard, 197 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: gets his pads down, does not avoid contact. Very tough, 198 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: tough individual. He says a lot about his durability, says 199 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: a lot about how he takes care of himself. To 200 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: be able to do that for this long in this league, 201 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: you know, is a testament to who he is. I mean, 202 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: he's he's a he's a great player. And him in 203 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: singletary back there, that's a hell of a one two punch. Yeah, 204 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: it's a good one. Two punch, and it's two guys 205 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: that have just been together for this year. But they've 206 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: done some good things in the running game for Buffalo. 207 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: But Frank Gore was a guy coming out in Miami. 208 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: He was injury prone. He torn his acl hony times, 209 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 1: I think a couple of times at Miami one time 210 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: in high school, and you just never thought he was 211 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: gonna be durable. And yet he turned out to be 212 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: one of the more durable backs into history of the NFL. 213 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: Some amazing stuff there. All right, let's get to our 214 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: next hot read, and that it's going to be today's 215 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: injury up port. Now there's too much to take out 216 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: of the injury report for today. I find being brutally 217 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: honest things that we I think already knew. Julila die 218 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: a little banged up in that game the other day 219 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: against the Tides. Will Fuller, Jonathan Joseph, Jacob Martin, Bradley, 220 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: Roby Kinning steals Laramie Tuns if I remember correctly, Stills, 221 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: Robie Martin, Jjo played for a little while Fuller, those 222 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: guys didn't even play it. I played a little bit 223 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: in that game against the Titans. But the big news 224 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: coming out of this is JJ Watt has been activated 225 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: to the fifty three man roster. JJ Watt activated to 226 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: make room for him. A little bit of a frustrating 227 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: one here because to Shaun Gibson has been very, very 228 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: good for this team, but he has been dealing with 229 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: myriad injuries. I mean just a handful of injuries. His 230 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: wrist was taped up pretty heavily. Back had been bothering him. 231 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: So to Shaun Gibson unfortunately goes to i R. JJ 232 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: Watt activated to the fifty three man roster. So that's 233 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 1: that's your big news coming out of the Houston Texans 234 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: injury report. Now you're not going to see what on 235 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: the report because the report came out before he was 236 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: I guess officially activated, so he doesn't have to show up, 237 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: and I guess I guess at this point he doesn't 238 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: really have an injury, so he doesn't have to show up. 239 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: But Sean gibs and didn't show up. There, he goes 240 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: to I R and that'll end his season, and bravo 241 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: on a great season from de Shaun. I know, to Sean, 242 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: I think he had to deal with so many different things. 243 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: He made some key plays in big games. He will 244 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: definitely be missed. So now I want to keep an 245 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: eye on as Jalilla die limited participant today, deal with 246 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: that Achilles, because Jalill probably gonna have to play next 247 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: to Justin Reid in the back of those safety has 248 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: been banged up all year, Jalill with this ja Justin 249 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: Reid been dealing with the shoulder for a while. And 250 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: then you've also got to Sean Gibson going on IR, 251 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: which is unfortunate because I love having that guy around. 252 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: He has been a really good influencing player in that 253 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: back end for the Texans. For the Bills, not much 254 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: to speak of other than Levi Wallace Corner did not participate. 255 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: If he does not play or can be is limited, 256 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: that means you're gonna see a lot of Kevin Johnson, 257 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: the former Texan playing at corner for the Buffalo Bills. 258 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for the injury report and 259 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: hot Reds brought to you by Geico fifteen minutes because 260 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: save you fifteen percent of Warren Car Insurance. So it's 261 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: time to turn it over to my good friends Drew 262 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,479 Speaker 1: Deep Mark and me. I'm gonna take a little retrospective 263 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,719 Speaker 1: look at the past ten years the decade for your 264 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: Houston Texans. Next on Texans All Access, Welcome back to 265 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: to the edition a New Year's Eve edition of Texans 266 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: All Access. I am John Harris, and I'm along with 267 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: my team, my good friends, DP Citis here, Mark Vanimers here, 268 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: Drew Dorty is here. Gang. Do not say hello because 269 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: everybody all talk at the same time. But glad you 270 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: were here, and we're coming up on the end of 271 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen and we can finally finally put the decade 272 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,479 Speaker 1: to bed. Six of nine years of Texans had won division. 273 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: First couple of years of that were really really nice, 274 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: and eleven and twelve and then obviously what the Texas 275 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: has done four the last five years. So I figured 276 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: on New Year's Eve, let's look back a little bit. 277 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: Let's look back the ten years that was the decade. 278 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: That was your favorite moment of the decade? Gosh, deep going, 279 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: what's your favorite moment from twenty ten to twenty nineteen. 280 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 1: This is a lot, Johnny, I know it is. It is. 281 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: What's your favorite moment you have won in particular over 282 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: the decade. You know what you want to go first? 283 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: Very easy? It was at Cincinnati December twenty eleven and 284 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: being on the field for the final drive. Texans trailed 285 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: the entire game except for the last two seconds and 286 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: t J. Yates somehow, some way gets the touchdown pass 287 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: there at the end, and then just kind of being 288 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: in the tunnel as they run from the field to 289 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: the locker room, just the elation and seeing how excited 290 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: they were because you had all but sewn it up 291 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: and they go into the locker room and then they 292 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: find out that Tennessee loses the Saints and it is over. 293 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: It was just so much fun because they'd never been 294 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, They'd been through so much. So many 295 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: guys had gotten injured that season. You lost Mario Williams 296 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: about a month in. Andre Johnson and Aaron Foster basically 297 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: were like a tag team. Yeah, one guy would get 298 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: hurt and one guy would be healthy, and then they'd 299 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: they'd switch and it was just it was an amazing 300 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: year and that was that that kind of stood out 301 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: the most to me. It was a fun, fun time. 302 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: Were you outside the door when they found out they 303 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: clenched with the Saints meeting Tennessee. I had to set 304 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: up the live unit that could broad you know, broadcast 305 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: a live stream of the press conference, which was the 306 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: size of a seventy eight buick back in twenty eleven. 307 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: Back then, Yeah, it was pretty big. And I had 308 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: to set that up and luckily it worked. And I 309 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: was in the I was in the press conference room, 310 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: which is adjacent to the locker room, and you could 311 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: hear the absolute roars going on right next door, and 312 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: they were they were pretty happy mister McNair was in 313 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: there with them. It was there's a lot of fun 314 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: picture because I was upstairs. I was upstairs watching it 315 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: on a monitor and I actually did the play by 316 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: playoff told the story of the last play of the 317 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: Saints Titans game off the monitor, and I just went live. 318 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: You know, I said, Jake Locker goes down about Texans 319 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: when the AFC South.

Um. I was debating 324 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: between draft ning the draft night when Deshaun Watson got drafted, 325 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: But I think I'm gonna go week two at Cincinnati. 326 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: We were sitting on the bus. Deshaun Watson gets on 327 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: the bus first start, wearing a tuxedo and sunglasses. It 328 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: was his birthday, his birthdays on the road. He's got 329 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: like everyone's hurt in that game, so I thought, I 330 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: don't even know who's going to protect him, but I 331 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: would just remember fearing for his safety in that game, 332 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: and he just came out calm as can be that 333 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: first win on the road at Cincinnati, that scrambling TOUCHDOWNY 334 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: at that forty nine yard touch And I feel like 335 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: that moment was my favorite moment because I feel like 336 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: collectively Houston just sort of could finally exhale and say, Okay, 337 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: he's definitely the guy that we saw at Clemson, and 338 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: he's our guy, and let's roll. I think that was 339 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: the beginning of the Deshaun Watson era, and that's my favorite. 340 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: I think one of my favorite things about that particular night. 341 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: I mean, right, I've told the story about riding over 342 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: in the bus and we run a bus and we 343 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: go always go on bus two, which a lot of 344 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: times we get some the rookies will end up on 345 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: our bus. And so he gets on a bus about 346 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: two three minutes before we go, before we leave, and 347 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: he's kind of looking for a seat and they're like, hey, 348 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: de Sean right here, and he literally is right beyond 349 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: a bus driver. And so he's about five rows up 350 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: and he's just got his headphones on and he's just 351 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: kind of staring, like just staring straight ahead, and every 352 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: now and again you kind of see his head a 353 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: little bit. I was so nervous for him, Johnny, and 354 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: he had no nerves, not at all, none whatsoever. And 355 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: the other thing I remember about that was when he 356 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: takes off on that his third and fifteen. Two plays 357 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: before that, Geno Atkins had hit him so hard I 358 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: thought he was going to send his heart through his back. 359 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: I mean, I was like, how did he get up 360 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: after that? It's amazing. The turf was not dential, it 361 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: was amazing. And then as he makes that run, he's 362 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 1: straight arms Atkins off of him and then another guy. 363 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: And the other thing I remember about that run too, 364 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: was I just remember when he gets in the end zone. 365 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: I don't think Mark meant it as sort of like 366 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: there was shot. There was shock in his voice, like 367 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: I just called a plane, which the Texans quarterback who 368 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: went nearly fifty yards for a touchdown, which it never 369 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: happened before, and so it was almost like there was 370 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: this shock in your voice, like touchdown Tex sit sid 371 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: like it was really kind of interesting because it looked 372 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: like he was going to go out of bounds at 373 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: one point on the right sideline, and then he's like, 374 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: I think I'll go to the end zone now, and 375 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: and just it happened so quickly that it just took 376 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: me by surprise. But he early and on I think 377 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: would take a lot of people by surprise. The next 378 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: week what he did at New England with some of 379 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: the playmaking ability, and then obviously you had the blowout 380 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: win over Tennessee. I had the game at Seattle. He 381 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: had a lot of great moments until he went out 382 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: that year. It's funny since Addie comes into play. I mean, 383 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: we're talking about the decade here, right, of the ten 384 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: best moments could involve this. It's true because the AFC 385 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: South clincher in twenty sixteen, one of my favorite games 386 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: of Monday Nighter in twenty fifteen, which was phenomenal, and 387 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 1: John Harris captured on film as he celebrates DeAndre Hopkins 388 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: catching the ball from t J. Yates both playoff wins 389 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: in eleven and twelve. I mean, but that's incredible really 390 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: how much the Bengals. It's like, I don't want to 391 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: call them the Washington Generals of the Houston Texans, but 392 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: they do come into play for these big moments for 393 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: the Texans, and that's amazing. I think my favorite, Look, 394 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: the playoff clincher in twenty eleven has got to be 395 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: that's the number. It's almost to put that up on 396 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, oh, that would be the one for 397 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,479 Speaker 1: all four of us, you know. And you know it's 398 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: funny because here we are in playoff week with the 399 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: Bills coming up on Saturday, and the very first playoff 400 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: game in Texans history was against the Bengals, obviously, and 401 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: that was the perfect day. You know, you had the 402 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: wat pick six and the second half, you had a 403 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: big Arian run, you had Andre Johnson catching a touchdown 404 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: of the postseason, and I said, welcome to the playoffs. 405 00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: I mean, here he is in twenty eleven after being 406 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: drafted in two thousand and three, and he finally gets 407 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: any scores and he was banged up a lot that year. 408 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: He didn't play in that Cincinnati game. Up there to 409 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: clinch the division where he yates through for three hundred yards, 410 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: So there was a lot going on that day. But 411 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: how special was that day? And I think that you'll 412 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: lose sometimes when you've been to that divisional rounds or 413 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: the wildcard rounds so much, you'll lose that excitement. I'm 414 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: not saying the fans are, but I'm saying that we 415 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: all got to appreciate being here, and I know we do, 416 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: but I just like to remind everybody we got to 417 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: appreciate being here in the postseason because it's so special 418 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: and it was so special that day. And we all 419 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: know what happened the next week in Baltimore. But Johnny, like, 420 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: my favorite moment other than that one was the win 421 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: at Indy for the first time. We talked about that recently, 422 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: playing the Colts, but that one I'll never forget the emotion, 423 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: the feeling after beating the Colts for the first time 424 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: up there in twenty fifteen. Yeah, it's interesting. My first 425 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: year Dona Silin I was twenty fourteen, and I became 426 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: a full time employee at the end of that year. 427 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: So in twenty fifteen, so we're gone into combine in 428 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: Indianapolis that year, and I'll never forget. We were driving 429 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: away from the airport and I always, I always quote 430 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: Drew on this, and Drew turned around. At some point 431 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: we had like maybe six of us, seven of us 432 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: and some vank going to the airport. And Drew's like, 433 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: I've made this damn trip to the airport I don't 434 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: know how many times, and we've always made it unhappy. 435 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: He goes, I just once want to go to the 436 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: airport happen And then I flicked my cigarette out the 437 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: window and you said it was such disdain though, but 438 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: it was true. I mean, you wanted to finally go 439 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: to the airport. And it was funny because that that 440 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: year I started I think it was that year where 441 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: I started talking to we have a group of partners 442 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: sponsors that come with us, sweetholders that come with us 443 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: and on away trips, and so they want me to 444 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: go talk to this group. And so that that I 445 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: think was the first time I went in there and 446 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: I told that story about Drew, and I closed it 447 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: with I really hope that we can make Drew's wish 448 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: come true basically, And so we were getting back on 449 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: the we're getting back on bus and they were all 450 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: looking at me like you can wish, wish for even 451 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: more things right there? Yeah, there it is. They never 452 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: said anything to me. By the way, I had the 453 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: same wish, Just to let you know, we a lot 454 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: of us had that wish. He's not that special. He 455 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: verbalized it, he verbalized it. It was just it was 456 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: well said, and you know, he's our guy. So look, 457 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: I remember walking out of Tennessee so many times unhappy, 458 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: you know, and this year, and it's been a lot 459 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: lately until this year. You got that huge win. Obviously 460 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: a huge win to be able to get a leg 461 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: up in the division and propel you to an AFC 462 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: South championship. Yeah, you hate going on the road and 463 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: flying back unhappy. This is a very far offshoot. But 464 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: decade wise, how about the two Tennessee wins here this 465 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: this decade. One came in eleven. One came you know 466 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: a few days ago. They're both in week seventeen. And 467 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: they came with a combination of quarterbacks that were t J. Yates, 468 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: Jake Delom and AJ McCarron. And you saw guys like 469 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: Garrett Graham play outside linebacker. Yeah, Garret Graham was not 470 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: an outside lineback. So basically they saw the only times 471 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: they won here were when you were resting, the only 472 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: winde ye two times. You know. In twenty thirteen to 473 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: that meltdown season, we all remember that Texans won over Yeah, 474 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins catch the game winner, and there was a 475 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: pick six in that game, but they overcame it. To 476 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: Drew's point, that was that was gonna be mine, uh, 477 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: Monday night last year after mister McNair died. That it 478 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: was obviously not a not like a you know, not 479 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: our Carnival cruise fund moment, but we had gotten that 480 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: news on Friday that he had passed, and we knew 481 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: we had to play that game Monday, and it just 482 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: so happened that it was against that team. And really 483 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: the reason that Texans exist is because that team decided 484 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: to leave here and open up an opportunity that mister 485 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: McNair uh and his wife Janis jumped in and said, 486 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna do something for the city of Houston and 487 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: we're going to create a team here. And it was 488 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: that Monday night and there's a shot in our board 489 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: room during the moment of silence at the beginning of 490 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: the game, and It's taken at such an angle where 491 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: DeShawn is kind of on the left part of the picture, 492 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: and there's a spotlight coming down on the RCM logo 493 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: on the field, and Deshaun is kind of standing there 494 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: with his head about and the spotlights on the RCM 495 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: logo and you can just see kind of the crowd 496 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: at other people in the background, and it's it's one 497 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: of my favorite pictures of all time. And then we 498 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: get into game and about a being about a bang. 499 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: They're up ten nothing and I'm like, what just happened? 500 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: What's just happened? And Tabor Luan is over on our 501 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: sideline like taunting our fans, and I'm like, he's just 502 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: doing his table lu one thing. Then we get the 503 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: fourth and one stop and Lamargo's ninety seven and at 504 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: the end of it, you were like, that one's for 505 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: that one's for Bob, And it was like I didn't 506 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: hear it at the time because I was running down 507 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: the field to get the other side, So I didn't 508 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: hear it at the time, and I heard it the 509 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: next day put it together replay and I had to 510 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: stop myself like whoa that was? That was wild? But 511 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: when in the locker room that night. You know, Damarius 512 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: Thomas was in there and it was there was such excitement. 513 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: But yet everybody too, man was like, that's what mister 514 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 1: McNair would have wanted. Yeah, that that's what he would 515 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: have wanted. It was because that team on Monday night, 516 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: the way that they did was was just incredible. It 517 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: was that was the perfect way to celebrate his life. 518 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: You know, under all everything we went through in the 519 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 1: day's prior and the team obviously the family. I mean, 520 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: let's just be honest about that, and then to have 521 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: that night was the perfect celebration. It was very cool. 522 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: All right. We took a little look back at the decade. 523 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: Let's take a look back at this season. We'll have 524 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: Texans replay later or I break down the ultimate eleven 525 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: plays of the year. But it was my gang think 526 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: the player of the year is, the play of the year, 527 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: is the moment of the year, the unsung hero of 528 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 1: this team is. We'll do that next on Texans Access. 529 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: Welcome back to a New Year's Eve edition of Texas 530 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: All Access.

So there you go. Welcome back to 536 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: the show, John Harris along with my crew, Drew Deep 537 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: and Mark and we spent the last segment talking about 538 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: the moments of the decade, the ones that we're gonna remember, 539 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: and of course there are so many of them that 540 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure we overlooked them. But the twenty nineteenth season continues, 541 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: but the regular seasons in the books, and figured you 542 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: why not take a look back. Tonight after this show, 543 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: we were Texans Replay when I break down the ultimate 544 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: eleven plays of the year, both offense and defense. So 545 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: I got basically an ultimate twenty two. But I wanted 546 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 1: to start there, and I'll start with spin thee You, 547 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: Mark Vannymiremers start with you to you. The twenty nineteen 548 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: play of the year is well, if I'm gonna go first, 549 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna steal it, and that is kick in the 550 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: eye Raider Kick Kick. Such a great play and it 551 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 1: kind of it symbolizes this year. You know, you've taken 552 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: some hits, You've taken some losses, but not too many, 553 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: luckily only six. And then you get that kind of 554 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: play where Watson takes that huge kick and a lot 555 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: of guys would have gone down and they would have 556 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: been out for a while. You know, they might have 557 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: been out for a week or two or whatever it 558 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: might have been, or at least you know, play would 559 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: have stopped or whatever. Watson instead adjusts his helmet and 560 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: just as I adjusts, as I steps out to the 561 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: right and finds Fells for a touchdown. Because that's who 562 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 1: he is. And I can't wait for the postseason, because 563 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: is there one like that? Is there a moment like that? 564 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: This is where the legends are really made. Yeah, but 565 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: I think that's got to be the play of the 566 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: year for me. And there are others, you know, if 567 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: the if you'd won that Saints game the past, to 568 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: Kenny Stills, the question which I play sequence that that 569 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: two play thirteen second drive, which I still think, Johnny, 570 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: that that drive even though they lost that game, you know, 571 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: there's never a moral victory, but there's a we can 572 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, we can do that if we need to. 573 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: I mean not to say it's gonna happen every time, 574 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: but we've done it, so therefore, if we need it again, 575 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: maybe it can happen again. That kind of thing gives 576 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: you some confidence on the offensive side of the ball. Rue, 577 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: you got one play of the year in your mind. 578 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: I got a few. Uh. The one that kind of 579 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: jumps out the most, though, is on fourth down needing 580 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: it late to kind of ice the cluck in Kansas City, 581 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: Watson Hopkins. You went to your two best players and 582 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: they get it done. And it's something we had not 583 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: seen on the road against really great teams in the past. 584 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: There was kind of a well, I's just handing off 585 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: and it'll run in the line for no gain or whatever. 586 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: But Texans rolled the dice and went for it there. 587 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: And they had rolled the dice against the Falcons earlier 588 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: in the season and gotten the big fourth down conversion 589 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: of Will Fuller for a touchdown. So that one that 590 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: was really that one felt good because that's a hell 591 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: of a Chiefs team and you might wind up seeing 592 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: them again here soon, and you came out of there 593 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: with a win, and that was a big, big win. 594 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: What I remember about that I was at the two 595 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: minute warning and we've we've all done the math on 596 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: this that you get to the two minute warning and 597 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: there are no timeouts left, you get a first down, 598 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: games over, just taking the year done. And they actually 599 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,239 Speaker 1: at the two minute warning had run Kymie Fairbaron out there, 600 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: and Mark Andre and I were talking about it. I 601 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: was standing back by the goalpost, and so I see 602 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: Fairbaron go out on the field and I was like, 603 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: all right, it going for a field goal. We talked 604 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: about that. I'm like, well, you know it put you 605 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: up ten, it's two scores, but you're gonna get the 606 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: ball back to the homes and you just you just 607 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: never know. Caahey was shaky at that season. He was 608 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: very much so, very much so. And so then you 609 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: see Fuller, Hopkins and Watson come out on the field 610 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: and I was just seeing the three of them, I 611 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: was like, get this. I ran back around to the 612 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: side to be able to, you know, kind of be 613 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: in line with when where they were running to play, 614 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,719 Speaker 1: and then ran just a beautiful play. They brought more 615 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: guys a we could block and DeShawn Hill it just 616 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: long enough and hop got right to the open spot 617 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: just the right time. It makes I mean it was 618 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: such a that was such a big win. I mean 619 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: that was kind of like, hey, eight Chiefs are good, 620 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: but we're pretty darn good too. We're really really good. 621 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, that would definitely stit up. Deepeat got one. 622 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: I've got one. It's from New England. It's a Hopkins touchdown, 623 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: but not the one that he caught. It's the one 624 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: that he threw it. Oh yeah, the fleeflier Watson. What 625 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: a cool play and I love that it was on 626 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: Sunday Night football. I love that it came against the 627 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: New England Patriots because a win against that team was 628 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: probably one of the highlights of the year, I think 629 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: for us who have seen these two teams battle it 630 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: out with each other in primetime television, come come up 631 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: short so many times. But I think that was my favorite. 632 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: My favorite play was probably my favorite win too, the 633 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: one of KC. Obviously that was a lot of fun too. Yeah, 634 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: those two wins, but to do it at home in 635 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: front of our fans on primetime that team, to beat 636 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: that team. My second choice was going to be the 637 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: Stills touchdown on that game because Fuller I thought. I 638 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: thought the play before that was a touchdown too. And 639 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: then they went right back to it and they got stills. 640 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: That was awesome to see that. That was a really 641 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: good one. You know, we didn't nobody picked the defensive 642 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: play or a special team. I thought we were going 643 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: to go offense. Andy, Okay, we'll give me your defensive play. Well, 644 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: my defensive is Week two. Justin Reid the two point 645 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: conversion because I think that changed It might have changed 646 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: the trajectory of a lot of things for this team 647 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: had they not gotten that stop. I think it changed 648 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: the trajectory for Jacksonville, who really found themselves struggling after 649 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: that game the whole Jalen Ramsey, you saw the beginning 650 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: of the end of that of that really ship with 651 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: the team. And it seems like every time Jacksonville has 652 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: a bad loss, to the text and something of that 653 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: sort happens. We saw it against London. That was the 654 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: end of ye and if their team falls apart out 655 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: every time we've defeated the Jacksonville it's it's been crippling 656 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: to them. We've been the Jinger. We've been the jinga 657 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: peg we pulled up. That's a great way to put it. 658 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: But to see him make that stop and then you know, 659 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: You've come off such a close almost an almost win 660 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: in Week one, which Johnny and I were talking about 661 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: this if we'll lets doesn't make that field goal. What 662 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: happened too. I think it would have been really tough 663 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: to come back here and beat Jacksonville, because, as Spencer says, 664 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: how do you run with the full cup of success? 665 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: I think it would have been I mean, it would 666 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: have been tough. It would have been tough. I think Jacksonville. 667 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe the football gods worked in the 668 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: right way. It makes you needed a division win over 669 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: a non division win, but just to get that win 670 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: on Monday night would have been so special. It would 671 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: have been so I mean, I just remember being in 672 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: the super Dome. The locker room is literally right off 673 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: the field. You go right in a little tunnel and 674 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: it's just to your right, and I just remember standing 675 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: out there so drenched, just exhausted, and I was standing 676 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: I just was trying to catch my breath everything that happened. 677 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: And I remember Hanna McNair and Janis McNair were sitting 678 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: there in the chairs and I just was kind of 679 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: doubled over it, just like, oh my gosh, I felt 680 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: this hand on my shoulder and I was like, I 681 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: turned around. It was Missus McNair and she's like, we 682 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: played so well tonight. I mean, right, he played so well. 683 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: And then Windey came out. Winny came out as our 684 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: player of the game because in that game he had 685 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: the interception to start the game, and yeah, his first 686 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: and yeah, he had a sack. He had a big game, 687 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: and so he was the guy that talked to and 688 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: he comes out and and of course, you know, he 689 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: just walks right over to to both Hannah and Janis 690 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: and they just hugged him and he was like, we're 691 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: so close. And you know, they had other moments where 692 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: they got over that, but it was just that game. 693 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: I just remember that moment in particular. Mark your defensive play, well, 694 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: I think it's an unsung play, and it's Jacob Martin 695 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: getting the arm of pat Trick Mahomes in the fourth 696 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: quarter of the Chiefs game. A very subtle play, yeah, 697 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: but it forced it in completion. And if Mahomes completes 698 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: that ball, I don't know where that ball was going, right, 699 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: but it's Patrick Mahomes throwing a football, and if he 700 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,839 Speaker 1: throws it uninhibited, maybe it's a completion and it's big 701 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: time trouble for the Houston Texans and it starts the 702 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: run for the Chiefs because they're so dangerous. So I 703 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: love that play, and I also love the stand they 704 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: had as a team against the Chargers. There's not one 705 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: play that sticks out to me. And I know the 706 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: Chargers didn't have the kind of season that they wanted. 707 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 1: But this is Week three and you're going out there. 708 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 1: It was la. You'd just beat Jacksonville in that close, 709 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 1: low scoring game. You had to do something big on 710 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: the road. You're facing a good quarterback and you got 711 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: the better of him at the end of the game. 712 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: And that game didn't start out as well as you wanted. 713 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: You had the early turnover. Yeah, so you had a 714 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: hunch of adversity. He had to overcome some of it 715 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: self inflicted and they did. And I think the defense 716 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: stood up in that game pretty well for itself. Pretty 717 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: easy for me, uh he jokingly talking about Vandermer referred 718 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: to the second Colts game as the AFC South Title game, 719 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: and then a few weeks later in Tennessee that was 720 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 1: the AFC South Title game again. So Brennan Scarlett bringing 721 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: Brissette down just shy the first down marker. But I 722 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 1: gotta go with that's my secondary. I gotta go with 723 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 1: Whitney's interception because Tennessee was going into score and it 724 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: might have been one of those runaway games had the 725 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: pick not happened without Justin Reid popping at loose and 726 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: then Whitney picking up and rumbling eighty some yards up 727 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: the right sideline, and you score a couple of plays 728 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: later and just changed the complexion of that game and 729 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,240 Speaker 1: you wind up winning. And that was a game everyone 730 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: at least in Tennessee was was thinking, this is Tennessee's game, 731 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 1: We're about to run away with the vision. They were 732 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: red hot before the Texans came in there, and I 733 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: remember afterwards, I was looking at some of the press conferences. 734 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: Mike Rabel even said that that was a play that 735 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: just really took the shifted the momentum on both sides 736 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: of the ball fourteen Tennessee. It was. It was because 737 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: he said, even if you'd held the Texans to a 738 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 1: field goal, that would have been better than what had happened. 739 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: So it reversed the rotation of the earth. I mean, 740 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: it completely changed everything. This is a good team Tennessee's 741 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,760 Speaker 1: a good squad and they're gonna go to New England. 742 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: We'll see what they do. We'll see how they do. 743 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: I think a lot of the national media is over 744 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: inflating what they did here this weekend. I mean, the 745 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 1: Texans weren't playing guys and set with sixteen of twenty 746 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 1: two position starters or whatever the number is, and they 747 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,919 Speaker 1: look good Tennessee did in the second half. Yeah, don't 748 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: give them a bigger power ranking than the team that 749 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: knocked them off a few weeks ago, when everything they're 750 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: building in their building building, with the starters playing and 751 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: everybody at their best or so to speak. So here 752 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: we go. Let's just see how it plays out from here. Well, 753 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: I can't give my plays of the year because I've 754 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,439 Speaker 1: got Texans replay. We're both offensive and defensive. But all 755 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 1: of your plays minus yours, I did not have that play, 756 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 1: but that's a great I had a play actually prior 757 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: to that that gets in the Ultimate eleven made by 758 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: DJ Reader because in the game there was there were 759 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: two tackles for a loss two and the Chiefs had 760 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,919 Speaker 1: one on Carlos Hide on that third down play before 761 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: the clincher on fourth down. Yeah, that was the only 762 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: tackle for a loss that all day and the Texans. 763 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: I think Texas had two and they had him a 764 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: back to back plays and Raider had both. That gets 765 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: in the Ultimate eleven for me. But nice, you guys 766 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: did mention those that were in the ultimate eleven. Okay, 767 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year for the Texans in twenty 768 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 1: nineteen is Drew? Is that cutting him? For me? Is 769 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: that cutting him? He's all over the place. I mean, 770 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: just he made so many tackles, but he actually made 771 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: stops too. He wasn't just getting a guy nine nine 772 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: yards down the field. He was getting guys for a 773 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 1: yard or two and making things really really tough on 774 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:51,359 Speaker 1: opposing offenses and doing it against the run. It's the past, 775 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: I mean he was. He was all over the place. 776 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,399 Speaker 1: Really had a breakout campaign after having two really really 777 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: solid years three years solid years before that. Yeah, good point. Yeah, 778 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: I think I think Zack's anybody disagree with Zach I 779 00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,359 Speaker 1: would put in my honorable mention category, I would put 780 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 1: DJ Reader. I think DJ has been absolutely phenomenalus year. 781 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 1: I think he has been incredibly consistent. I think his 782 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: pass rush game went to a different level this year. 783 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 1: I mean, the sacks don't prove it, but just the 784 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: push he was able to get in the middle that 785 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: forced quarterbacks off the spot, that forced him out to 786 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 1: the right or left or whatever the case might be. 787 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 1: I think he has matured into one of the best 788 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: interior defensive linem in this league. And I think it's 789 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: unfortunate because the Pro Bowl doesn't really recognize that. I think, 790 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 1: but once he gets in there, John, Yeah, once he 791 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: gets in there, he'll be a guy for a while. 792 00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: But if you look at the guys that got in, 793 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,359 Speaker 1: they're more kind of pass rushing types. They got kind 794 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 1: of because what they do um as pass rushers, not 795 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: so much the full compliment of skills. And I think 796 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: DJ has shown this year a full compliment of skills 797 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: and I don't think there's any any question in that. Well, 798 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: how about another one, and I agree. If I had 799 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: to name one, it would be Zach, but Justin Reid 800 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 1: I think deserves some consideration here. Some of the big 801 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: plays he's made this season. You mentioned the one of Tennessee, 802 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: which could have really turned around this whole divisional championship. 803 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: You will never know how it would have played out 804 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: if the Titan score on that drive and numerous other plays. 805 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: He's always in the mix, it seems, you know, I 806 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: really like what he did in the defense and backfield. 807 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,359 Speaker 1: I think he deserves some consideration. And look, he's wearing 808 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: the red jersey out there a lot in practice. You know, 809 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: he's on the injury report. He's come out of the 810 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 1: game a few times and got right back in or 811 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: maybe shake it up, but stays in the game. So 812 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: who knows what he's dealing with. But I got to 813 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,759 Speaker 1: think that if you were one hundred percent or as 814 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: close to it as possible healthy, it would be even 815 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 1: better for him. So I'm so eager to see what 816 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: he does in the future. But it was a really 817 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: nice year two for Justin Reid. I mean, I think 818 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 1: maybe an honorable honorable mention? Can we go Angelo Blackson 819 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,320 Speaker 1: blocking field goals and back to bout games where the 820 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 1: Texans one by three points? Yeah, so it's not even 821 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 1: back to back weeks on the road, such close, close 822 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 1: games that you know you make those field goals, it's 823 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 1: a completely different ball game. Yeah, Offensive Player of the Year. Also, 824 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: Also you could also throw what in there in twenty 825 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: quarterback hits and what seven still a number. I mean, 826 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: Whitney got two interceptions this year to go along with 827 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 1: what seven and a half sacks? Ye? Um, you know, 828 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: b mac has been really good. I mean Bradley Roby 829 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: missed four or five weeks. But and where are you? 830 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: Where are you without Bradley Roban. Whitney's like mister January? 831 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: Just wait? Yeah, hopefully all right? Offensive Player of the 832 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,800 Speaker 1: Year DP who you roll with? Oh gosh, how do 833 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,480 Speaker 1: you not pick to Shaun Watson? I don't know how 834 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: you don't pick him? I mean, I just think that 835 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 1: everything that he's done, all the progress he's made from 836 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: last year to this year. The kick in the eye 837 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,839 Speaker 1: against I mean the kick in the eye play. That's 838 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,360 Speaker 1: what when a play has its own nickname, you know 839 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,800 Speaker 1: it's a great play. Yeah. But just seeing him in 840 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 1: his command of the offense, and I think that it 841 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 1: what he's able to do, it just sort of filters 842 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: down to the rest of the players. I've heard the 843 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: skill set players say that, the skill position players say that, 844 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,880 Speaker 1: you know, that calmness that he has, it sort of 845 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 1: translates on the sideline as well. It doesn't matter if 846 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: they're down, it doesn't matter what the score is. But 847 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,439 Speaker 1: Deshaun's commed. You know that you always have a chance 848 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 1: when he's out there playing. And I think the fact 849 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: that he's been able to stay healthy all year has 850 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: been phenomenal. But you know, I have a I have 851 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: a secondary one, but I would say Laramie Tunsel. I 852 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: think the fact that he's healthy is because you brought 853 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: in a guy like lt so I put those two 854 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: like one A and one bat right. One of the 855 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: metrics sites said that the Texans were fourth in the 856 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: league and pass protection or something like that. I think 857 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 1: the addition of Laramie has been been absolutely fantastic. I mean, 858 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: obviously hops had a tremendous year, Carlos hide over a 859 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 1: thousand yards rushing. I mean, how do you argue with 860 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: what Darren Fells did. I mean, offensively, there have been 861 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,840 Speaker 1: guys and look, when Will Fuller's on the field, you 862 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: want to talk about most valuable. When he's on the field, 863 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 1: you could argue that he's the most valuable player on 864 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: the field. However, I will throw in another one, and 865 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: that is DeAndre Hopkins because this is a player who 866 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,360 Speaker 1: he had some games this year where he's like averaging 867 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,360 Speaker 1: six yards of cash. Kansas City but Kansas City was 868 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: that it was big. Though we mentioned the fourth down play, 869 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,360 Speaker 1: there were numerous others where he comes up with the 870 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 1: big sticks, moving plays for you. And he's not just 871 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 1: a receiver who can score touchdowns and you know, play 872 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 1: the glam position in the National Football League of receiver. 873 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: He plays like a tight end when you need him too. 874 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:35,799 Speaker 1: He plays like a running back when you need him too. 875 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: He'll play it any way, any style you need it. 876 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 1: He can do it. He really and you know, I 877 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: love the basketball analogy of he'll get you the big 878 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 1: basket in the fourth quarter. He does that stuff for you. 879 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 1: And he has outstanding chemistry with Deshaun Watson. They were 880 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,200 Speaker 1: friends at a previous life, as the HB commercial says, 881 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,279 Speaker 1: and smoke lattin to each other or whatever that was. 882 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 1: So I just think there's great chemistry there. Also, he's 883 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: so healthy. When you see the other wide receivers what 884 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 1: they've battled all year, it just gives you an even 885 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,480 Speaker 1: greater appreciation for DeAndre Hopkins being able to stay on 886 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 1: the field and having the longevity of his career that 887 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: he's had. I don't know what he's doing, but I 888 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 1: just hope he keeps doing it. Since the three of 889 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: you have named six players, I will go with the rookies, 890 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 1: Max Sharping, Titus Howard. It's very good. You've overhauled your 891 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 1: offensive line versus what you had here a year ago. 892 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 1: You had three new starters, and look at how they 893 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 1: just raised the tide for everybody else up front. Now 894 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: Nick Martin looks better, Jack Fulton looks better. So I'll 895 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 1: go with those two guys. You look better. I look better. 896 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,320 Speaker 1: Can't wait to see what a full season of Titus Howard, 897 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 1: Max Sharping, Larry Tuns when those guys looks like next year. Okay, 898 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 1: you got fifteen seconds each. You're unsung hero easy of 899 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 1: the twenty nineteenth season. All right, we'll start with you, 900 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,919 Speaker 1: tough guy, Darren Fells, very good, seven touchdown catches. Signed 901 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 1: him in the off season. What are we gonna do 902 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 1: with this? This guy's a good blocker or whatever, and 903 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 1: he becomes this outstanding tight end who they gave a 904 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 1: healthy scratch in the final game. Is past week at 905 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: Darren Felt. Darren Fell drew punter Brian Anger. More than 906 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,439 Speaker 1: half of his punt's gone inside the twenty. He's helped 907 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,880 Speaker 1: spearhead the coverage unit on punts that you've made all 908 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,960 Speaker 1: posing offenses start deep in their own territory. He's been 909 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,640 Speaker 1: great at that, and uh yeah, that's why I'm gonna 910 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 1: go with Nick Martin. I think a lot of people 911 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 1: have talked about Nick Martin's play over the course of 912 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,360 Speaker 1: the year. He's quietly been getting it done. But the 913 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 1: fact that the offensive line's coming together and he reads 914 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 1: the calls that he's making at the line. I've heard 915 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,879 Speaker 1: from several former Texans where offensive line and they're really 916 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 1: impressed with what he's able to do. And I don't 917 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 1: think we pay enough attention to what he's doing out 918 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,800 Speaker 1: there because there's so many other players to be watching. 919 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Kenny Stills gut him in the first week, 920 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:47,080 Speaker 1: traded for him with Laramy Tunsell throw in and he 921 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,080 Speaker 1: I mean, how many times did he come up bake 922 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,200 Speaker 1: two touchdowns at Tennessee the one at the end of 923 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,360 Speaker 1: New Orleans game. I mean, it's just absolutely phenomenal. So 924 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,759 Speaker 1: nice job, guys, really appreciate it. Excellent job. All right. 925 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 1: Coming up next, Ryan Talbot of ny you Upstate dot 926 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 1: Com is gonna join us with Drew talked a little 927 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 1: bit about the Bills and a little bit about wwe Yeah, 928 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 1: we'll put them together next on Texas All Access.

Appreciate you being here. I am your host, 933 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,840 Speaker 1: John Harris, football annists and sideline reporter. And the Buffalo 934 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 1: Bills are coming in on Saturday. So yes, it is 935 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 1: New Year's Eve. But the Bills coming in on Saturday 936 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 1: for a playoff game. We've got to get ready for that. 937 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: So we got to learn a little bit more about 938 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. What's kind of cool is I've over 939 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:46,239 Speaker 1: the years struck up a friendship with my buddy Salapach, 940 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 1: who's the silot reporter for the Buffalo Bills. We get 941 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 1: a chance to each other, to combine sometimes at the 942 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl, and just a great guy, and we spent 943 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 1: so much time together to combine and kind of getting 944 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,640 Speaker 1: to know one another, and we've stayed in contact ever since. 945 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,800 Speaker 1: And we didn't want this to happen. We did not 946 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,439 Speaker 1: want to meet in the playoffs, but it's gotta happen. 947 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 1: It's gotta happened. So Sal's great guy. Well, Drew Dorty 948 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 1: also has made a connection with a guy by the 949 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 1: name of Ryan Talbot from NYU Upstate dot Com. It's 950 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 1: part of the Syracuse Syracuse Post Standard. And Ryan's a 951 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 1: really interesting guy and obviously knows the bills inside out, 952 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 1: but he also knows the wrestling game. So you know what, 953 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 1: Drew Dorty had chance to talk bills and compare the 954 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 1: bills to some well some former WWE professional wrestlers. This 955 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 1: is fun stuff. Here's Drew Dorty with Ryan Talbot of 956 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,920 Speaker 1: NYU Upstate dot Com. Okay, friends. A lot of times 957 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 1: on Twitter, you become friends with somebody on Twitter, but 958 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 1: you don't really know him, and this is the case 959 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,840 Speaker 1: here and in this interview we're doing with Ryan Talbot 960 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 1: because Ryan, who's on the line with me now most 961 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 1: of the time, I'm I'm kind of giggling at some 962 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: of your wrestling tweets and gifts that you put out there, 963 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,279 Speaker 1: and it's good to finally talk some football with you, 964 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 1: like human beings one on one over the phone. How 965 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 1: are you hey, I'm doing great? Yeah, big with the 966 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:08,120 Speaker 1: wrestling gifts and all that, and but he really excited 967 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,960 Speaker 1: about this matchup this weekend, really excited ahead to Houston 968 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,279 Speaker 1: to see this game. So I think it's gonna be 969 00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,320 Speaker 1: a great matchup. Yeah, all right, we've already got a 970 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,840 Speaker 1: rivalry going because you just said, Jeff, and I'm a 971 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,040 Speaker 1: gift guy, so I don't know. So you've been covering 972 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,240 Speaker 1: this Bill's squad for quite a while, and the strength 973 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 1: of this team from the outside looking in, appears to 974 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 1: be the defense. It's the nastiest defense I think the 975 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 1: Texans have faced the last few years. We saw them 976 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,680 Speaker 1: lugend Deshaun Watson to the tune of seven sacks twelve 977 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 1: quarterback hits, and he wound up having to take a 978 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,279 Speaker 1: bus to Jacksonville the next week because he couldn't fly 979 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,359 Speaker 1: because his lungs had had some problems because of all 980 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 1: the hits he took from that that Buffalo d Is 981 00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,680 Speaker 1: that a correct assessment is the strength of this team 982 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 1: their defense? Oh, one hundred percent of the strength is 983 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 1: the defense. And it's kind of funny because in that game, 984 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,840 Speaker 1: the Bills were really successful like getting after Watson, and 985 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 1: obviously Houston upgraded their line this off season and it's 986 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 1: a it's a different line. But even last year, you know, 987 00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,320 Speaker 1: sacking the quarterback wasn't necessarily Buffalo strength, but in that 988 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 1: matchup it was. They really got after him a lot. 989 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:18,160 Speaker 1: Like you said, the seven sacks, I think the Bills 990 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,400 Speaker 1: can still do damage in that regard this year. But 991 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 1: really their big thing is they get these opposing offenses 992 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 1: in third and in long situations, whether it's the tackles 993 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 1: for losses. You know, Jordan's phill up shack loss and 994 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,759 Speaker 1: have been really good in that regard this season, so 995 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 1: they get him in these matches. So they just simply 996 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,200 Speaker 1: get you off the field. It's not so much the turnovers, 997 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,279 Speaker 1: is not so much the sack. But it's going to 998 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,680 Speaker 1: be interesting to watch because the Bills have Jerry Hughes 999 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,840 Speaker 1: and they have Shacklawson. As I already mentioned, Losson is 1000 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 1: having a career year in a contract. Here Trent Murphy 1001 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,920 Speaker 1: not necessarily a guy who has lived up to the contract, 1002 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,880 Speaker 1: but coming off the two sack performance against the Jets 1003 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,000 Speaker 1: in an otherwise meaningless game. But then he also have 1004 00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,520 Speaker 1: those guys on the inside, the Jordan phill the at 1005 00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 1: Oliver obviously we know about him many here in that 1006 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,399 Speaker 1: second half, So that's gonna be really interesting. But it's 1007 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,960 Speaker 1: also gonna come down to that secondary play, and obviously 1008 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:15,439 Speaker 1: the key match up there will be Trey White versus Hopkins. Yeah, 1009 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,279 Speaker 1: you think he's gonna stick with him because sometimes in 1010 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 1: the past, we've seen opposing defenses put their best corner 1011 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 1: and I'm talking about the Patriots here, put their best 1012 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 1: corner on Will Fuller or Kenny Stills and then essentially 1013 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 1: double up Hopkins and they would take that away. But 1014 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,080 Speaker 1: that didn't work for the Patriots this year. Obviously a 1015 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,480 Speaker 1: much different defense than what the Bills have. But I'm 1016 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,920 Speaker 1: guessing you think Trey White stays with Hopkins the entire 1017 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 1: way I do. He shadowed him a little bit last year, 1018 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 1: and it was a tough matchup. He fared pretty well 1019 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,360 Speaker 1: if you look at the that sheet in comes of 1020 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 1: the amount of yards that Hopkins had. Hopkins had one 1021 00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 1: outstanding touchdown catching that game. White was flagged a few 1022 00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,160 Speaker 1: times for defensive holding, so it was definitely a a 1023 00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,880 Speaker 1: cold battle. I just think that the Bills would probably 1024 00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,319 Speaker 1: feel better with that now that being set, if they 1025 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 1: lose lead by Wallace in Week seventeen. He's listed his 1026 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,440 Speaker 1: day to day, but I would be pretty surprised if 1027 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,840 Speaker 1: he did suit up. And now you have a former 1028 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,759 Speaker 1: Texans first round pick Kevin Johnson who's probably gonna be 1029 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,960 Speaker 1: starting across from White. So maybe they try that at 1030 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,319 Speaker 1: some point where they double off on Hopkins and they 1031 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 1: let Trey White go on the other side. But I'm 1032 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:28,840 Speaker 1: anticipating more of a Hopkins versus White matchup. But I 1033 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,080 Speaker 1: think the Bills want their best guy on the textins 1034 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 1: best guy you bring up Kevin Johnson. He's a really 1035 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:36,320 Speaker 1: interesting player, healthy as a rookie and then after that 1036 00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 1: he just couldn't stay on the field. But the talent 1037 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 1: has always been there. He hits, you know, with a 1038 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,239 Speaker 1: fearlessness that is pretty commendable for someone of his stat 1039 00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,239 Speaker 1: size and stature. And I mean, I don't know how 1040 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:47,880 Speaker 1: much you get to interact with him, but he's one 1041 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,320 Speaker 1: of my favorite players to have just chit chatted with 1042 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,320 Speaker 1: in the locker room over the years. He's a really funny, 1043 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,160 Speaker 1: funny guy. But now you mentioned he's probably put into 1044 00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,959 Speaker 1: a more prominent role this week, probably playing a little 1045 00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 1: bit more heady. It seemed like that was a pretty 1046 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 1: nice niche for him. What he was doing what was 1047 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,040 Speaker 1: called upon him to be done so far this season. 1048 00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:07,920 Speaker 1: Do you see that changing pretty much because of the 1049 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,600 Speaker 1: health you're you're saying, yeah, I do, and you know, 1050 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 1: I will say I was blown away with him this summer. 1051 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 1: I was watching him a lot at training camp and 1052 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 1: I can't wait really impressing it. One point, I was 1053 00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,320 Speaker 1: actually anticipating that he would be the starting cornerback across 1054 00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,680 Speaker 1: from Trey White. And it's not that he didn't see 1055 00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,920 Speaker 1: a fair amount of snaps. The Bills did give him 1056 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 1: a lot of reps um, you know, spelling lee by 1057 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,279 Speaker 1: Walls and things like that, but they really did stick 1058 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,359 Speaker 1: with the young guy out of Alabama there for most 1059 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,880 Speaker 1: of the season. Wallas up him down, so ye have 1060 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,960 Speaker 1: some more opportunities as the season went on, obviously, But yeah, 1061 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 1: I think that Johnson's gonna do okay again. It's gonna 1062 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:44,480 Speaker 1: come down to what they want him to do. Are 1063 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,439 Speaker 1: they gonna double him up on Hopkins and they're gonna 1064 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,480 Speaker 1: pull him across from someone else? Are we going to see, uh, 1065 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:51,960 Speaker 1: you know, will full Is it gonna be on the field? 1066 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 1: Is it gonna be one hundred percent? There's a lot 1067 00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:58,879 Speaker 1: of matchup problems that I think the Texans could use 1068 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,279 Speaker 1: against the Bills that they could benefit from, especially after 1069 00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,400 Speaker 1: the Bill's lost Wallace last week. So it's gonna be 1070 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,800 Speaker 1: really interesting. But yeah, Kevin Johnson is a guy that 1071 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 1: I think can step in. It was kind of a 1072 00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,160 Speaker 1: two way t B situation in terms of that second 1073 00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,080 Speaker 1: cornerback spot for the Bills, So I don't think there's 1074 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 1: gonna be much of a drop off, But I'm intrigued 1075 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,319 Speaker 1: to see him over the course of the entire game. 1076 00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,240 Speaker 1: How much of an advantage he has knowing and practicing 1077 00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,520 Speaker 1: against these guys in practice, and then vice versa, how 1078 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,080 Speaker 1: much of an advantage these Texans receivers have going against him. 1079 00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,160 Speaker 1: It is kind of one of those little oddities that 1080 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,319 Speaker 1: that's gonna be fun to keep an eye on, fund 1081 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 1: to monitor throughout. You know, you brought up bet Oliver 1082 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,560 Speaker 1: a few minutes ago. We all know about him because 1083 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:41,960 Speaker 1: of what he was doing down the street at you 1084 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,279 Speaker 1: of h how bright is the future for him? Because 1085 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,520 Speaker 1: I remember on draft night thinking, Godlee, he's going to 1086 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,319 Speaker 1: the Bills. They've got that salty, salty defense and he's 1087 00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,960 Speaker 1: just it's like you're adding a strength to a strength. 1088 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,279 Speaker 1: It looks like he's going to really blossom into something 1089 00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 1: ferocious down the line, and if he's not there already, 1090 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,840 Speaker 1: he's definitely getting there. He really came on the second 1091 00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,000 Speaker 1: half of the season a few you know, multi sat 1092 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,279 Speaker 1: game on Thanksgiving against the Cowboys, Who's had some big 1093 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:13,200 Speaker 1: sex there, some quality tackles for loss in recent weeks, 1094 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 1: had one week seventeen when he was on the field. 1095 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's necessarily a wake up call, 1096 00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:19,480 Speaker 1: but there was one point in the season where the 1097 00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,759 Speaker 1: Bills kind of inserted Jordan Phillips as a starter, and 1098 00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,719 Speaker 1: they kind of and Oliver saw his reps go down 1099 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:27,800 Speaker 1: and he really responded well today And you don't know 1100 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,920 Speaker 1: necessarily call first round pick will respond, but he was 1101 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,239 Speaker 1: really receptive to it. He realized that he can learn 1102 00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,080 Speaker 1: from those guys who can learn from Jordan Phillips, who's 1103 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,880 Speaker 1: also having a great season right in his own regard. 1104 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,920 Speaker 1: But once that happened, something kind of like came on. 1105 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,120 Speaker 1: The light bulb came on, so to speak, and that's 1106 00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,800 Speaker 1: when he really started to flourish in this defense. So 1107 00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,279 Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how he's used, if he can 1108 00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:55,160 Speaker 1: get after Watson, if he can help them stop the run, 1109 00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,520 Speaker 1: because that's one thing I know. The Bills are a 1110 00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 1: little over one hundred yards per game allowed in terms 1111 00:53:59,960 --> 00:54:02,359 Speaker 1: of run defense, but they still do have their issues there. 1112 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 1: That's gonna be another interesting matchup in terms of the 1113 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,000 Speaker 1: Hide and Duke Johnson matchup in terms of how they 1114 00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,080 Speaker 1: can run against the bility because if they can run well, 1115 00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,160 Speaker 1: that's going to open things up for Watson as well. 1116 00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, Olivera's going to play a big role in 1117 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,360 Speaker 1: that too in terms of his run defense. Smoky Brown 1118 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,880 Speaker 1: the run game, the second year quarterback who can run 1119 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,400 Speaker 1: the ball and do some things. What else do I 1120 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,120 Speaker 1: need to know? And what else do you fans need 1121 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,359 Speaker 1: to know about this Buffalo offense? You know you named 1122 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,200 Speaker 1: a lot of it there. Obviously, John Brown is having 1123 00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:37,239 Speaker 1: an help standing season. I think a lot of people 1124 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,320 Speaker 1: kind of just thought he was one trick pony in 1125 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,120 Speaker 1: terms of what he could do. But he has a 1126 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,000 Speaker 1: He can run the full route train and run it 1127 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 1: very very well. That was again something at training camps 1128 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,600 Speaker 1: that a lot of the beat guys were blown away with. 1129 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,640 Speaker 1: It's like, man, this guy is just so polished in 1130 00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:56,320 Speaker 1: every area. So he's been great more than just a 1131 00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,359 Speaker 1: deep threat. Obviously, that intermediate area has actually been where 1132 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 1: Choshi Allen it's been his bread and butter this year. 1133 00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,400 Speaker 1: Very accurate in that regarda and that's where Brown has 1134 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,560 Speaker 1: been utilized a lot. Obviously, Cole Beasley out of the slot. 1135 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,920 Speaker 1: There are some weeks where it's a little frustrating because 1136 00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:16,359 Speaker 1: Beasley we'll get only a handful of targets. There's other 1137 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,240 Speaker 1: weeks where he goes off for over one hundred yards 1138 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,160 Speaker 1: or he's in that seventy eighty yard range, So he's 1139 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,040 Speaker 1: another guy though that can be an asset for them. 1140 00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:29,000 Speaker 1: And then obviously Dawston not rookie tight end. You know, 1141 00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,160 Speaker 1: the measurables is what really jumped off the page when 1142 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,200 Speaker 1: they drafted him. He wasn't necessarily utilized much much at 1143 00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,920 Speaker 1: Old Miss as a as a receiving option. Flashes of 1144 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,919 Speaker 1: brilliance there, but also a lot of frustration in terms 1145 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,160 Speaker 1: of the drops, a lot of drop issues. Probably among 1146 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,880 Speaker 1: the top at the position in terms of drops. But 1147 00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:52,120 Speaker 1: if you watch that Patriots game in Week sixteen, he 1148 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,880 Speaker 1: probably should have exited that game with three touchdowns. Now, 1149 00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:57,640 Speaker 1: mind you, he was tackled the one yard line on 1150 00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,480 Speaker 1: the deep all right, before halftime, So maybe that one 1151 00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,600 Speaker 1: shouldn't have on a touchdown, so to speak. But he 1152 00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,320 Speaker 1: got opened and created a separation down the field. He 1153 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,200 Speaker 1: had the first drive of the game, he was opening 1154 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:07,920 Speaker 1: the end zone. Josh Allen was just a little bit 1155 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,680 Speaker 1: off target. The final drive of the game, Nas was 1156 00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:12,839 Speaker 1: opening the end zone. Alan just threw it a little 1157 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,920 Speaker 1: bit out of his reach. So he's a guy that 1158 00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:18,520 Speaker 1: can get open, that can really flash in this offense. 1159 00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:20,960 Speaker 1: But I do still think that this offense is one 1160 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,600 Speaker 1: year away. They don't have another weapon at wide receiver 1161 00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:28,080 Speaker 1: behind Brown and Beasley. They've tried some different guys there. 1162 00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,239 Speaker 1: Obviously Andrew Roberts. He's a guy that's more of a 1163 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,680 Speaker 1: return mando than anything else. Robert Foster had a really 1164 00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:37,759 Speaker 1: disappointing season after, you know, coming on in the same 1165 00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,360 Speaker 1: half of his rookie year. And then you have a 1166 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,960 Speaker 1: guy like Isaiah Mackenzie who they really like to utilize 1167 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,840 Speaker 1: on the jet suiteps and things like that, but not 1168 00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,200 Speaker 1: necessarily a big factor in the receiving game. I'm gonna 1169 00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,520 Speaker 1: give four names. We're gonna we're gonna geer off course here. 1170 00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:56,840 Speaker 1: Bobby the Brain heenan slick mister, Fuji and Jimmy the 1171 00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,839 Speaker 1: Mouth of the South Heart. Who is Sean McDermott most 1172 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:04,800 Speaker 1: like in terms of leadership? Oh boy, that is a 1173 00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:09,839 Speaker 1: that's a tough one. Um, definitely not Jimmy Haren. Jimmy 1174 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 1: Harron's very loud, boisterous. And Sean mcgerranty And that would 1175 00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:16,400 Speaker 1: have been a Rex Ryan pick right there. Um, you know, 1176 00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,720 Speaker 1: in my interactions with him, with other interactions I've seen, 1177 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:22,560 Speaker 1: maybe I'll go with the Bobby of the Brain heen 1178 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,680 Speaker 1: and I think he is actually you know, he's kind 1179 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 1: of quiet, but he's also very witty. Uh. That's that's 1180 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,360 Speaker 1: one thing that I always loved about the Brain. I 1181 00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,200 Speaker 1: think that that guy could have been a real life 1182 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,200 Speaker 1: comedian if you wanted to go that route in his career. 1183 00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,520 Speaker 1: Could have been many things. Yeah, yeah, he could have 1184 00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,200 Speaker 1: done many things with his figure, right, you know that 1185 00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,960 Speaker 1: that's a tough choice though. Um, mister Fuji maybe a 1186 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,720 Speaker 1: close second because he he's a guy that top plots 1187 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 1: things out, but he doesn't do much talking, So maybe 1188 00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,240 Speaker 1: that would also be my answers. That's that's a tough 1189 00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,480 Speaker 1: question though. All right. On defense for the Bills, who 1190 00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,560 Speaker 1: is the ultimate warrior uh, you know this one might 1191 00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,280 Speaker 1: surprise some people. I'm gonna go with Matt Mulano. Okay, 1192 00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,920 Speaker 1: how come Milano runs around like his hair is on 1193 00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,960 Speaker 1: fire at times on the field, sometimes he's just everywhere. 1194 00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:07,560 Speaker 1: Every time there's a tackle who we made, there's a 1195 00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,240 Speaker 1: play to be made. Matt Milano is there now. At 1196 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,360 Speaker 1: the same regard, there's times where he's out of place. 1197 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:16,120 Speaker 1: There's times where he might get lured in on a 1198 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:21,000 Speaker 1: play action pass. So he's still, you know, far from 1199 00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:25,760 Speaker 1: a polished product. But in terms of that ultimate warrior 1200 00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:27,600 Speaker 1: being a little bit out of control, so to speak, 1201 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:29,320 Speaker 1: running to the rain, shaking the ropes, I'm gonna go 1202 00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,840 Speaker 1: with Matt Milano. The hack saw Jim Duggan of the 1203 00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:36,640 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's offense is Frank Gore kind of He's kind 1204 00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,600 Speaker 1: of built like a two by four. He's hard to 1205 00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,240 Speaker 1: bring down. Don't mind you, You're not gonna see him much. 1206 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,320 Speaker 1: I don't think in this game. I do think that 1207 00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,640 Speaker 1: the Patriots game where I'm sorry, the Jets game was 1208 00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,400 Speaker 1: good for him in Week seventeen because he had really 1209 00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,680 Speaker 1: been struggling in terms of the yard per carry average. 1210 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:53,640 Speaker 1: He didn't even get a snap against the Patriots in 1211 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:56,240 Speaker 1: Week sixteen, and I mean he's averaging under two yards 1212 00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:59,200 Speaker 1: per carry in the previous three games before that, but 1213 00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,120 Speaker 1: he averaged over yards per carry in the season's finale. 1214 00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,920 Speaker 1: He still showed that between the tackles he can be utilized. 1215 00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,480 Speaker 1: But you're really going to see the Devin Singletary show 1216 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,840 Speaker 1: in terms of the running back position for the Bills 1217 00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:13,280 Speaker 1: on Saturday, Singletary ended up averaging over five yards per 1218 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,240 Speaker 1: carry as a rookie. Uh, one of those guys where 1219 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,920 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the breakaway speed that that's maybe like 1220 00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,520 Speaker 1: the only thing that you wish he had, but he's 1221 00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:27,240 Speaker 1: the guy that will make you miss uh, really close proximity. 1222 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,080 Speaker 1: It looks like he's going to go down for a loss, 1223 00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,720 Speaker 1: no game at all. Somehow he avoids those first Castler 1224 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:35,400 Speaker 1: two turns the corner gets a good seven year game. 1225 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,920 Speaker 1: Those are frustrating guys to handle man for a defense. 1226 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:41,960 Speaker 1: Those are those are absolutely yeah. So you know, the 1227 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,040 Speaker 1: one thing is though he's had two games where he's 1228 00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,760 Speaker 1: had a multi FuMB you know, two fumbles per in 1229 00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,080 Speaker 1: two games, so he has to protect the ball a 1230 00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,160 Speaker 1: little bit better. Same thing with Josh Allen when he 1231 00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,280 Speaker 1: runs with the ball. That's one of their their biggest weaknesses. 1232 00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,880 Speaker 1: So hopefully, uh, you know, the offense can protect the 1233 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,840 Speaker 1: football to really make this a close match up on Saturday. 1234 01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,760 Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna close this with a little story 1235 01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,120 Speaker 1: time and you're probably like rolling your eyes here, But 1236 01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:08,720 Speaker 1: way back when, about fifteen twenty years ago, when I 1237 01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,440 Speaker 1: was a producer at a TV station, we had Hacksaw 1238 01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,200 Speaker 1: Jim Duggan on the air with us, and when I 1239 01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,120 Speaker 1: was setting it up, I was chit chatting with him 1240 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:20,240 Speaker 1: and I mentioned, hey, haxall, I went to SMU and 1241 01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,880 Speaker 1: he had played football for the SMU Mustangs in the 1242 01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,640 Speaker 1: late seventies and as we all know, those guys got 1243 01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:27,800 Speaker 1: paid a little bit under the table and they wound 1244 01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:29,800 Speaker 1: up having the death penalty ten years later. But I 1245 01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,320 Speaker 1: mentioned that I went to SMU, and he said, oh yeah, 1246 01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,080 Speaker 1: I mean Gene Okerland used to joke and say, I'm 1247 01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,080 Speaker 1: the only guy that came into the WWF that took 1248 01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 1: a pay cut. And I always thought that was a 1249 01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:42,720 Speaker 1: great little Hacksaw Jim Duggin story. So anyways, that's pretty awesome. 1250 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,080 Speaker 1: You know. He was actually in my in the town 1251 01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,800 Speaker 1: where I reside for a little wrestling show about probably 1252 01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,720 Speaker 1: a year year and a half ago. Yeah. Really nice guy. Yeah, 1253 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:52,280 Speaker 1: was doing a lot of the show. Is still going 1254 01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:55,440 Speaker 1: out there doing autograph sign He's really down to earth guy. 1255 01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 1: He's great man, He's great, and you're great too. Ryan. 1256 01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,320 Speaker 1: Really appreciate you coming on and sharing some of your 1257 01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:04,440 Speaker 1: Bill's wisdom. Yeah. Absolutely, I'm looking forward to it. All right, 1258 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:06,120 Speaker 1: Ryan Talbot, thank you so much for the time, and 1259 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:07,920 Speaker 1: we will talk to you again very soon. That was 1260 01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,280 Speaker 1: really fun. I know if my man Sean Pendergass is listening, 1261 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,800 Speaker 1: he was absolutely loving the fact that Drew Doherty was 1262 01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:17,040 Speaker 1: talking some wrestling with Ryan Talbot of NYU Upstate dot Com. 1263 01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:18,880 Speaker 1: All right, we get back. It's been a pretty fun 1264 01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,080 Speaker 1: season for the Texans ten and six when the AFC 1265 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,640 Speaker 1: South Division for the fourth time in five years, six 1266 01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:27,840 Speaker 1: time in nine years. And I always love listening to 1267 01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:34,040 Speaker 1: Mark make the call on the final play of the game. 1268 01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:36,160 Speaker 1: So I figured, you know what, on New Year's Eve, 1269 01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:40,560 Speaker 1: let's go back and celebrate ten end of game final calls. 1270 01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:43,440 Speaker 1: Let's do that next right here in Texans All Access. Now, 1271 01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 1: there's no question I am a little biased because I 1272 01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:50,560 Speaker 1: am a part of the Texans Radio Network on game days. 1273 01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:53,440 Speaker 1: But I think that our radio crew puts on one 1274 01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:57,400 Speaker 1: heck of a show, in particular our play by play 1275 01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:01,120 Speaker 1: man Mark Vandermere, who always at the end of each 1276 01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:05,240 Speaker 1: game gives a final call. And I thought, you know what, 1277 01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:09,400 Speaker 1: I'm New Year's Eve. When you're thinking about moving ahead 1278 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,680 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty, it's always going to take a little 1279 01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:13,320 Speaker 1: bit of a look back. Now, we'll take a full 1280 01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,960 Speaker 1: look back starting at eight o'clock tonight as we do 1281 01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:20,840 Speaker 1: Texans replay, but that's gonna be focused on the plays, 1282 01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:24,240 Speaker 1: the moments that actually happened. I wanted to take a 1283 01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:28,520 Speaker 1: look back at the final call of each of the 1284 01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:31,640 Speaker 1: wins and go back and think about what those wins 1285 01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,600 Speaker 1: meant for the Texans this year. And it would have 1286 01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:39,000 Speaker 1: been a tremendous Week one, a tremendous Week one had 1287 01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,680 Speaker 1: the Texans been able to get a victory over the 1288 01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:46,000 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints, but they did not, Alas, it had 1289 01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,480 Speaker 1: to wait a week, but it was kind of nice 1290 01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:50,720 Speaker 1: when the Texans took home a thirteen to twelve win 1291 01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:54,320 Speaker 1: over a division opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Here's what Mark 1292 01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,320 Speaker 1: had to say at the end of this one, they'll 1293 01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,520 Speaker 1: snap it from the Jacksonville forty eight takes the snap, 1294 01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:03,560 Speaker 1: takes it, it is over. The Texans hang on to 1295 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:09,240 Speaker 1: beat Jecksonville thirteen to twelve in a pressure AFC South 1296 01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:13,000 Speaker 1: game at NRG Stadium. Man, it was a pressure cooker 1297 01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,720 Speaker 1: whole lea smokes. But then we went to LA the 1298 01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:19,760 Speaker 1: next week looking for win number two in a place. Well, 1299 01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:23,880 Speaker 1: the Texans had never won in LA, in one San 1300 01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,160 Speaker 1: Diego and not one in LA. One time they were 1301 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,000 Speaker 1: played in LA, it was in twenty seventeen against the Rams. 1302 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:30,959 Speaker 1: Had never won there, but that changed in Week three. 1303 01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:35,840 Speaker 1: Texans load up at their nineteen victory formation. Watson takes 1304 01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:39,000 Speaker 1: the snap, takes any it is over. The Texans beat 1305 01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:43,160 Speaker 1: the Chargers twenty seven to twenty and run their record 1306 01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:47,120 Speaker 1: to two and one. Houston coming back from ten down 1307 01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,760 Speaker 1: at the break on the road to beat Philip Rivers 1308 01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,400 Speaker 1: and the Chargers. That was a big win at the time. Man, 1309 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:56,520 Speaker 1: to go to two and one, to beat that team, 1310 01:03:56,560 --> 01:04:00,520 Speaker 1: to beat that quarterback. Oh and we rode that momentum 1311 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 1: bill away into a loss against the Panthers. But the 1312 01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:08,360 Speaker 1: NFC South stayed on course for next week as the 1313 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:12,320 Speaker 1: Falcons came into town. It was the Will Fuller Show, 1314 01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:16,680 Speaker 1: an absolute show he put on, and this was the 1315 01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:19,400 Speaker 1: end of a fifty three to thirty two win over 1316 01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:22,800 Speaker 1: the Falcons. Ryan just takes a knee with twenty seconds left. 1317 01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:27,280 Speaker 1: It's over. The Texans throttle Atlanta fifty three to thirty 1318 01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:30,360 Speaker 1: two to up there a record to three and two 1319 01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:35,360 Speaker 1: and bounce back big time with Kansas City up next. 1320 01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:39,440 Speaker 1: All Kansas City was up next, and man, what an 1321 01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:45,200 Speaker 1: absolute gem of a ball game, Just an unbelievable football game. 1322 01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:49,000 Speaker 1: And the Texans were able to put this one to bed. 1323 01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:51,680 Speaker 1: And there are times when I can hear it in 1324 01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,840 Speaker 1: Mark's voice when it matters even more. This one mattered 1325 01:04:55,880 --> 01:05:00,919 Speaker 1: even more. Victory formation for the Houston Texans. Watson gets behind, 1326 01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,760 Speaker 1: Nick Martin, takes the snap, takes a knee. It's over. 1327 01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:08,880 Speaker 1: The Texans beat Kansas City thirty one to twenty four, 1328 01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 1: and they run their record to four and two. Oh man, 1329 01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:16,080 Speaker 1: did we need that one. That was nice because on 1330 01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:21,360 Speaker 1: the schedule next was Indianapolis in Indy and it didn't 1331 01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,760 Speaker 1: go well. So then we came back here for a 1332 01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:28,560 Speaker 1: game against the Oakland Raiders and it looked dicey for 1333 01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:31,840 Speaker 1: a while, and then in the fourth quarter to Seawan 1334 01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,560 Speaker 1: well he did. To Shaun things the kicking the eye touchdown, 1335 01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,080 Speaker 1: you referred to it as such. Mark referred to it 1336 01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:41,240 Speaker 1: as such earlier. That put the Texans ahead. Then a 1337 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:45,320 Speaker 1: Watsons Fells first down throw allowed the Texans to run 1338 01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,280 Speaker 1: out the clock. Win number five did not come easy. 1339 01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:50,160 Speaker 1: It was a hard earned win, but it was a 1340 01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:54,080 Speaker 1: good one. Third down and twelve, Watson gets behind, Nick 1341 01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,920 Speaker 1: Martin takes a knee and it is over. The Texans 1342 01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,400 Speaker 1: do the job on the Raiders. Twenty seven, twenty four. 1343 01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:04,720 Speaker 1: They bounced back from last week and beat Oakland to 1344 01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,560 Speaker 1: run their record to five and three at the halfway point. 1345 01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:12,120 Speaker 1: Texans twenty seven readers, twenty four. So week nine, we 1346 01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:16,040 Speaker 1: went to a place we've never been. I've never been 1347 01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:18,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people have been there, but I've never 1348 01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:22,160 Speaker 1: been there. Texans had never been there in official capacity, 1349 01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:26,640 Speaker 1: London to take on the Jags. And from play one 1350 01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:30,040 Speaker 1: through last play the game the one you'll hear here. 1351 01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:34,600 Speaker 1: The Texans dominated this game. It made this trip about 1352 01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,200 Speaker 1: as memorable as it could have been. I will remember 1353 01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:38,600 Speaker 1: that trip for the rest of my life. It was 1354 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:43,080 Speaker 1: a tremendous weekend going to London, kept off by win 1355 01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:46,240 Speaker 1: number six. Right for the bye, block down to one, 1356 01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:49,840 Speaker 1: Minshew just gets the snap in time, stepping up Minshew 1357 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,520 Speaker 1: aufter the left side. Menshew, the ball is out that 1358 01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,120 Speaker 1: it's picked up by Cole. Cole's on the move across 1359 01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:57,520 Speaker 1: the forty Cole forty five and he's down at the 1360 01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:01,560 Speaker 1: forty seven yard line and the game is over. The 1361 01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:06,720 Speaker 1: Texans beat Jacksonville at Webley Stadium in front of ninety thousand, 1362 01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:10,440 Speaker 1: twenty six three the final. The Texans run their record 1363 01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:14,120 Speaker 1: to six and three heading into the bye. After the bye, 1364 01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:16,600 Speaker 1: it was a tough weekend in Baltimore that moved them 1365 01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,720 Speaker 1: to six and four. But on a Thursday night, the 1366 01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:24,160 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts came calling the division on the line, a 1367 01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:29,320 Speaker 1: massive football game and to Shaun Watson found DeAndre Hopkins twice. 1368 01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,160 Speaker 1: That was the difference. BRENTA. Scarlett made a key play 1369 01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,920 Speaker 1: and it was over. The Texans took home win number seven. 1370 01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:40,000 Speaker 1: The Shawn awaits the snap on fourth down, takes the snap, 1371 01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:43,040 Speaker 1: drops back deep, fires it deep to the end zone 1372 01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:47,680 Speaker 1: and the clock runs out. It is over. The Texans 1373 01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:51,880 Speaker 1: pull it off. They beat the Indianapolis twenty to seventeen 1374 01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:56,800 Speaker 1: to retake first place. So the AFC South Houston knocks 1375 01:07:56,840 --> 01:08:00,840 Speaker 1: off the Colts. They split the season series, and they 1376 01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,800 Speaker 1: are seven and four, a game in front of indeed 1377 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,440 Speaker 1: with the Patriots up next. Oh yeah, the Patriots are 1378 01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:09,720 Speaker 1: up next. And if you were in that building on 1379 01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,560 Speaker 1: that Sunday night, you know what that win meant. That 1380 01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,960 Speaker 1: was an incredible win against the New England Patriots. Now, 1381 01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:18,040 Speaker 1: I Mark and I've talked about getting that win up 1382 01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:20,320 Speaker 1: there and what that would meet up there. Didn't matter. 1383 01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:23,639 Speaker 1: To just beat them in our building as a special night. 1384 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:27,960 Speaker 1: Watson approaches the line of scrimmage seventeen seconds on the clock, 1385 01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:33,360 Speaker 1: takes a knee. It is over. The Texans take down Goliath. 1386 01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:37,600 Speaker 1: They beat the Patriots for only the second time in 1387 01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:42,519 Speaker 1: franchise history twenty eight, twenty two, and for the first 1388 01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:47,639 Speaker 1: time in ten years. Houston wins, defeating the defending Super 1389 01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:51,120 Speaker 1: Bowl champions, and the Texans raised their record to eight 1390 01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:56,880 Speaker 1: and four. After a mysterious sort of game against the 1391 01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:00,720 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, the Tennessee Titans and Texts were tied at 1392 01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:04,480 Speaker 1: eight and five, getting ready for a matchup in Nashville 1393 01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,479 Speaker 1: and the Texans would be ahead twenty four to twenty one, 1394 01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:13,439 Speaker 1: and this final call included the final play burst down 1395 01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:16,320 Speaker 1: Titans from their twelve yard line, seventeen seconds to go, 1396 01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:20,439 Speaker 1: Texans up three. Here's the snap to Tannehill in the pocket. 1397 01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,519 Speaker 1: Was a big rush and a sack back at the 1398 01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:29,240 Speaker 1: four yard line Charles Amna who brings down Tannehill four 1399 01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:33,360 Speaker 1: seconds left, three seconds, one second. Tannehill spikes it. The 1400 01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:38,320 Speaker 1: game is over. Tannehill couldn't get the spike down in time, 1401 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:43,160 Speaker 1: and Houston prevails twenty four twenty one, taking over sole 1402 01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:47,439 Speaker 1: possession of first place in the AFC South and the 1403 01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:52,919 Speaker 1: tenth win clinched the division final. Play right here, Winston 1404 01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,800 Speaker 1: takes the snap with two seconds left. He steps up, 1405 01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,439 Speaker 1: he throws to the left sideline. It's dropped. The game 1406 01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:03,120 Speaker 1: is over the tex It's all the AFC South champions again. 1407 01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:07,519 Speaker 1: They knockoff chap of A twenty three to twenty and 1408 01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:12,880 Speaker 1: raise their record to ten and five. Houston champions of 1409 01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,439 Speaker 1: the AFC South. How about that? And what did it 1410 01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:18,720 Speaker 1: get you?

We're just going back a year. Then 1424 01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:05,679 Speaker 1: we're gonna have our key Texan to watch against the Bills. 1425 01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,439 Speaker 1: And then we're gonna have our key Bill to watch 1426 01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:10,800 Speaker 1: against the Texans. And we're not talking about Bill O'Brian. 1427 01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:12,880 Speaker 1: We're talking about the Buffalo Bills. All right, let's go 1428 01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:17,000 Speaker 1: down memory lane. You and I are both Eustonians. You 1429 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,960 Speaker 1: and I we're both born in the seventies. You and 1430 01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,600 Speaker 1: I both know about the Houston Oilers, and we're not 1431 01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:25,840 Speaker 1: talking about the Oilers because the Oilers are in Tennessee. Yeah, now, 1432 01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,040 Speaker 1: have nothing to do with this team. Let's just go 1433 01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:31,960 Speaker 1: back a year John. Middle of the season, give or 1434 01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:36,000 Speaker 1: take a week, Buffalo Bills come to town. Texans had 1435 01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:40,120 Speaker 1: played in a pair of overtime games in the previous 1436 01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:43,040 Speaker 1: two weeks and one both of them, so they'd moved 1437 01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:45,360 Speaker 1: to two and three and here comes Buffalo. Got a 1438 01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:50,839 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. So normally an older defense, an experienced defense 1439 01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,679 Speaker 1: with a good coordinator, with wad on one side, Clowney 1440 01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:57,519 Speaker 1: on the other, we can havoc easy, peasy, lemon squeezy. 1441 01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:00,920 Speaker 1: It was not that case. It was a tight game. 1442 01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:05,280 Speaker 1: So DeAndre Hopkins gets a touchdown catch early. Tredavious White 1443 01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:06,920 Speaker 1: does a nice job with him. You know. It was 1444 01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:10,799 Speaker 1: one of those battles where one guy wants some battles, 1445 01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:13,240 Speaker 1: or one gun guy wants some fights and the other 1446 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:16,320 Speaker 1: guy wants some fights. It was a good matchup. What 1447 01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:20,080 Speaker 1: I take from it is two things. To Shaun Watson 1448 01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:25,120 Speaker 1: just getting battered that day, seven sacks, hit about a 1449 01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:28,800 Speaker 1: dozen times, and the result of it is he's got 1450 01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:31,760 Speaker 1: to take a bust to Jacksonville. A few few days later, 1451 01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,200 Speaker 1: five days later because his lungs were messed up and 1452 01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:36,800 Speaker 1: couldn't couldn't fly, and he wound up winning that game. 1453 01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:40,479 Speaker 1: But you got that thing, the battering that he took, 1454 01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:44,000 Speaker 1: and just a nasty, nasty Bills defense, which you and 1455 01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,680 Speaker 1: I have talked about over the last year, as at 1456 01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:48,920 Speaker 1: least for me, and I think you kind of agree. 1457 01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:51,760 Speaker 1: But that's the that's the nasties defense I've seen this 1458 01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:55,600 Speaker 1: team face the last two years. Um. And then the 1459 01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:59,320 Speaker 1: other thing was I was standing in the tunnel right 1460 01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:03,840 Speaker 1: outside the cafeteria, right by our stairs, watching the end 1461 01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:05,760 Speaker 1: of that game, and I was standing with Director of 1462 01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:09,759 Speaker 1: Ticketing John Shreever and Blaine Foreman, who works on LSSSE, 1463 01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,800 Speaker 1: because that's where we'd sort of gather because whenever we'd 1464 01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:15,040 Speaker 1: get there when the Texans were in a tight game, 1465 01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:19,280 Speaker 1: they'd usually wind up winning. And Kymie Fairbaron ties it 1466 01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:23,080 Speaker 1: up thirteen thirteen, and then they come out on the 1467 01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:28,120 Speaker 1: field and Nathan Peterman in place of Josh throws a 1468 01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:31,360 Speaker 1: pick six and I just go bananas. It was. It 1469 01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:33,720 Speaker 1: was one of the most fun, most memorable games. And 1470 01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:35,400 Speaker 1: I know it's not gonna go down in Texans lore 1471 01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:37,360 Speaker 1: as one of the most memorable games. But for me, 1472 01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,960 Speaker 1: it was just such a satisfying game to see and 1473 01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:44,880 Speaker 1: it happened right in my corner, right into me. I 1474 01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:47,280 Speaker 1: loved it. I was living it up. And the Texans 1475 01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:50,360 Speaker 1: got to five hundred never looked back. John, Well, it's 1476 01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:52,880 Speaker 1: interesting you're talking about de Shan in that game. You 1477 01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:58,000 Speaker 1: know the battering for Deshan really had begun. Yeah, yeah, 1478 01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:01,000 Speaker 1: it's started four before it's and I mean it was 1479 01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:02,680 Speaker 1: really bad. It was to a point where in that 1480 01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,120 Speaker 1: game we didn't know whether Deshaan was gonna play against Buffalo. 1481 01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:09,360 Speaker 1: I you know, talking to various people, I'd sort of 1482 01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:12,519 Speaker 1: resigned myself to the fact that I think we're gonna 1483 01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:15,280 Speaker 1: see I guess it would have been Brandon Weedon. We 1484 01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,280 Speaker 1: have seen Weedon. I guess last year I was I've 1485 01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:20,360 Speaker 1: kind of resigned myself to that fact that that weed 1486 01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:21,880 Speaker 1: was gonna get in the game. We're gonna see him 1487 01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:24,640 Speaker 1: against Buffalo, and okay, whatever happens happens. But they got 1488 01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:27,040 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterbacks will be all right. And then Shan 1489 01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:30,559 Speaker 1: came out and he must have had about eight layers 1490 01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:34,680 Speaker 1: of padding. And you know, it's funny when when I 1491 01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:37,840 Speaker 1: did my draft analysis of the Sean you know, the 1492 01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:39,800 Speaker 1: one The one thing that I said at the very 1493 01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:43,840 Speaker 1: end was the way that I sort of determined and 1494 01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:46,120 Speaker 1: kind of look at you know, you look at all 1495 01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:48,160 Speaker 1: different pieces of a quarterback, but then you look at 1496 01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:52,240 Speaker 1: one final piece and to me and that is, if 1497 01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:55,720 Speaker 1: I'm down at the end of a game and I 1498 01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:57,880 Speaker 1: need the ball in the hands of one guy, who 1499 01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:00,280 Speaker 1: do I want it? And in a twenty seventeen class, 1500 01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:03,240 Speaker 1: you had Homes, he had Drubisky, of course, and you 1501 01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,240 Speaker 1: had Deshan. I just said, I want the ball in 1502 01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:08,120 Speaker 1: for his hands. That's what I want. And that was 1503 01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:09,840 Speaker 1: kind of the final coud to grow. And I feel 1504 01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:11,479 Speaker 1: like I wrote a good draft report on him and 1505 01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:14,160 Speaker 1: feel like now three years in and pretty pretty accurate 1506 01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:16,800 Speaker 1: about what I said about him. The one thing I missed, though, 1507 01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:18,439 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people missed this because 1508 01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:22,880 Speaker 1: Deshaun did have such excellent college years, was the fact 1509 01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:26,000 Speaker 1: that he's as tough as a two dollars steak man. Yeah, 1510 01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:29,439 Speaker 1: he is a tough, tough guy, and he's been through 1511 01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:31,880 Speaker 1: the ring in his life, and he's bounced back with adversity, 1512 01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:34,680 Speaker 1: you know, obviously, um, you know, dealing with what his 1513 01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:36,680 Speaker 1: mom dealt with when he was in high school, his 1514 01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:39,840 Speaker 1: mom with the tongue cancer, and and just what he 1515 01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:42,040 Speaker 1: had to do to kind of carry that hat. That 1516 01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:45,479 Speaker 1: stuff he hits on the fields. Yeah, it doesn't look 1517 01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:49,519 Speaker 1: at But in that Buffalo game, that's really when the 1518 01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:53,960 Speaker 1: toughness sort of came to the forefront, because they sacked 1519 01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:58,200 Speaker 1: him seven times, and he had that big old pad 1520 01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:01,559 Speaker 1: on his underneath his his like on his rib cage 1521 01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:04,760 Speaker 1: or underneath his armpit. And I don't even know how 1522 01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:07,160 Speaker 1: he was able to throw the ball that day. But 1523 01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:11,320 Speaker 1: when the Texans went down thirteen ten, Peterman come. Peterman 1524 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:13,040 Speaker 1: came in a game and throw a touchdown to z 1525 01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:14,800 Speaker 1: Jones to put the Bills ahead. And I'm like, you 1526 01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:16,479 Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. We haven't moved the ball to day. 1527 01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:18,760 Speaker 1: I just kind of thought we would. We would kind 1528 01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:20,920 Speaker 1: of bleed them until they were dry in some sense 1529 01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:23,040 Speaker 1: that they're okay, they're not gonna score. Peterman's in the game. 1530 01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:24,639 Speaker 1: We'll win this thing ten to seven. We'll just get 1531 01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:28,680 Speaker 1: out of here with this thing. Then Peterman throws a 1532 01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:32,840 Speaker 1: touchdown to Za Jones and like, how we can move 1533 01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,120 Speaker 1: the ball, And then all of a sudden, we went 1534 01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,600 Speaker 1: from not doing anything really all day offensively since the 1535 01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:39,800 Speaker 1: first half, all of a sudden, it was like zip 1536 01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:43,559 Speaker 1: zip zip bomb that will Fuller that he gets tackled 1537 01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:45,719 Speaker 1: and he gets tackled on So it's Pastor Ferris seeing 1538 01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:47,559 Speaker 1: the ball to one, like we're gonna win this game. 1539 01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:50,479 Speaker 1: We're gonna punch this thing in. But then, if you 1540 01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,760 Speaker 1: remember our inside the five woes continued for the week 1541 01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,160 Speaker 1: before we could score inside the five against Dallas, and 1542 01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:58,479 Speaker 1: you're going against this defense and this defense was so 1543 01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,160 Speaker 1: nast yeah, and he is still and so you gotta 1544 01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:02,800 Speaker 1: set up for a field goal. Now I'm sitting there 1545 01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,560 Speaker 1: thinking it's thirteen thirteen or like two minutes left. I'm like, 1546 01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:07,800 Speaker 1: we're going over time for the third week in a row. Yeah, 1547 01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:09,800 Speaker 1: third week in row. And then Jjo made that pick 1548 01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:13,280 Speaker 1: and obviously the rest is history. But that that team, 1549 01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:16,320 Speaker 1: that Buffalo team, didn't forget that. The good news for 1550 01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:18,559 Speaker 1: de Shaun in some sense is he saw a lot 1551 01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:22,800 Speaker 1: of what he's gonna see on on Saturday. He saw 1552 01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:24,400 Speaker 1: a lot of that. Now there's gonna be a little 1553 01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:26,599 Speaker 1: bit different. Now I'm gonna sprinkling a little at Oliver. 1554 01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:28,840 Speaker 1: That's gonna that's gonna change things a little bit. But 1555 01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:32,720 Speaker 1: the size upfront with Starlot Tule and Jordan Phillips, those 1556 01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,760 Speaker 1: guys you remember from last year. Now you're you're bringing 1557 01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:37,599 Speaker 1: a whole different offensive line to the party. So that's 1558 01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:39,479 Speaker 1: gonna help a little bit. You know, you've got a 1559 01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:42,479 Speaker 1: different group of running backs. That's gonna help a little bit. Um, 1560 01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, you don't know the health of of your 1561 01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,560 Speaker 1: tight ends are better. I think you've you've mastered a 1562 01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:50,280 Speaker 1: few things with what you do with fells. And then 1563 01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:52,560 Speaker 1: I think Akins Aikins needs to play a role in 1564 01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:54,760 Speaker 1: this game. I mean the other day against Tennessee. You 1565 01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,639 Speaker 1: know he got a lot of targets, but he needs 1566 01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:58,599 Speaker 1: to play a role in this game. Um. I think 1567 01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:01,519 Speaker 1: he is a guy that can be a matchup problem 1568 01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:03,760 Speaker 1: for the for the Bills in some sense if they 1569 01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,400 Speaker 1: want to cover him with a little bit smaller safety 1570 01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:08,880 Speaker 1: or a little bit slower linebacker. So I think Aich's 1571 01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:10,400 Speaker 1: gonna be He's got to be a part of this 1572 01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:13,519 Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form. The tight ends are 1573 01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:16,120 Speaker 1: gonna have to play a role. It's fun time out 1574 01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:19,800 Speaker 1: this year's tight ends. They're really fun to watch. For 1575 01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:22,240 Speaker 1: a variety of reasons, and one of them is you 1576 01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:24,120 Speaker 1: better tackle them with like four guys. Oh yeah, there 1577 01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:26,160 Speaker 1: I mean, and it goes across the bord. It's not 1578 01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:28,599 Speaker 1: just fells, it's not just as I mean, it's all 1579 01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:31,120 Speaker 1: three of those guys. It's all you better come with 1580 01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:34,439 Speaker 1: a multiple with multiple tacklers to get them down. And 1581 01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:37,320 Speaker 1: that's really cool to see. Yeah, so you are bringing 1582 01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:39,400 Speaker 1: a little bit different to the party on the offensive side, 1583 01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,400 Speaker 1: and obviously at Oliver changes some of the things that 1584 01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:44,280 Speaker 1: they can do right defensive side, but it's gonna be 1585 01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:47,280 Speaker 1: pretty similar to the things they saw. And hopefully you 1586 01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:49,720 Speaker 1: don't have the sean with seven layers of padding on 1587 01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:52,840 Speaker 1: his on his rib cage or or armpit or whatever 1588 01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:57,160 Speaker 1: it was. So you know, that's that's gonna help. But uh, 1589 01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:00,360 Speaker 1: it was a game last year. I know, the Buffalo, 1590 01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:04,560 Speaker 1: the the Buffalo faithful, the media and some of the 1591 01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:06,960 Speaker 1: people that we know up there. You have a good 1592 01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,479 Speaker 1: friend up there, Ivocate. You know, my buddy style Kapacho 1593 01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:10,840 Speaker 1: is a silent report. We got to know each other 1594 01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:12,880 Speaker 1: and been friendly over the last you know, three four years. 1595 01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:17,920 Speaker 1: And they that loss hit them hard. That loss hit 1596 01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:20,880 Speaker 1: them hard because that was a young team on the road, 1597 01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:23,280 Speaker 1: got to find a way to win. And then Nathan 1598 01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:25,560 Speaker 1: Peterman happened again for them, and that was something that 1599 01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:27,320 Speaker 1: had been kind of a theme for the for a 1600 01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:30,160 Speaker 1: couple of years, like or during that year, like Peterman, 1601 01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:34,200 Speaker 1: and even before that, you know Peterman, you know, they 1602 01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:37,560 Speaker 1: wanted to start Peterman one year in Los Angeles and 1603 01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:40,280 Speaker 1: you had like five turnovers on the first ten burrows 1604 01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:42,880 Speaker 1: or something like that, and so they had gone through 1605 01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:44,240 Speaker 1: that and then they had to go back to him, 1606 01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:45,880 Speaker 1: and then he cost him another game, and so their 1607 01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:49,360 Speaker 1: psyche was down a little bit. But Sean McDermott never 1608 01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:51,680 Speaker 1: let them wallow in it. They didn't get to the 1609 01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:55,200 Speaker 1: playoffs last year, they drafted Oliver at number nine, and 1610 01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:59,479 Speaker 1: they got back on the horse and they not to 1611 01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:01,560 Speaker 1: take any thing away from what Buffalo has done, but 1612 01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:03,519 Speaker 1: they won the games they should have won this year. Yeah, 1613 01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:06,680 Speaker 1: they don't do anything real sexy, but they just beat you. 1614 01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:10,479 Speaker 1: They just bludging you defensively. And you know, they're not 1615 01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:13,000 Speaker 1: the eighty five Bears. Okay, they're not the eighty five Bears. Yeah, 1616 01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:17,719 Speaker 1: nobody is. But they're good, man, But they're good. They're 1617 01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:21,240 Speaker 1: very discipline and it's so funny. I was driving in 1618 01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:22,880 Speaker 1: this morning, Drew, and I was thinking about this game, 1619 01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:26,680 Speaker 1: and I was listening to uh, Sean and Seth and 1620 01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,360 Speaker 1: they played a clip of what Bill O'Brien said about 1621 01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:32,720 Speaker 1: the Bills. And it's so funny because I had heard 1622 01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:34,439 Speaker 1: the beginning of the clip, I hadn't heard the whole thing. 1623 01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:38,160 Speaker 1: And I was watching them yesterday and one of the 1624 01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:41,920 Speaker 1: things that I noticed and yesterday was how well they communicate. 1625 01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:44,400 Speaker 1: Like when you watch some of the defenses of Texas 1626 01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:46,920 Speaker 1: have played this year, it looks like he stone cops 1627 01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:48,720 Speaker 1: back in the back, like guys don't even know that. 1628 01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:50,600 Speaker 1: They're yelling at each other like clap, like what are 1629 01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:52,759 Speaker 1: we doing? How are we doing? You watch the Bills. 1630 01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:57,360 Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds gives a signal to his front, he turns 1631 01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:00,160 Speaker 1: and he signals the safeties. He turns back around to 1632 01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:02,599 Speaker 1: play the safety signal to each other. Bank bang. They 1633 01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:04,519 Speaker 1: signal to the corners, corner stumps up, we got it, 1634 01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:07,720 Speaker 1: and they go. They communicate as well as any team 1635 01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:10,800 Speaker 1: off scene. It's amazing how well they communicate. I'm listening 1636 01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:12,599 Speaker 1: to Sean at Seth player a clip and I'm listening 1637 01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:14,840 Speaker 1: to coach O'Brien saw and he's talking about the defense 1638 01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:18,560 Speaker 1: and he mentions that he says, how well they communicate. 1639 01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:21,679 Speaker 1: So it is something that stands out how well they're 1640 01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:25,320 Speaker 1: able to communicate, which means they don't bust coverage a lot, 1641 01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:27,960 Speaker 1: they don't bust a front, they don't make a lot 1642 01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:30,840 Speaker 1: of bust. You're not gonna get guys who you've got 1643 01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:33,840 Speaker 1: above average players, you know, right, and when you're on 1644 01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:38,000 Speaker 1: the same page at all times, you got an opportunity 1645 01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:40,800 Speaker 1: with NFL talent to be a really good defense. And 1646 01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:43,880 Speaker 1: they've got above average NFL talent, and they've got an 1647 01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:46,439 Speaker 1: above average head coach, a well above average head coach, 1648 01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:48,800 Speaker 1: and a well above average defensive coordinator. You're going to 1649 01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:50,439 Speaker 1: have a really good defense. This is going to be 1650 01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:52,680 Speaker 1: one heck of a challenge for that offense. Many many 1651 01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:55,519 Speaker 1: Texans you can choose to watch in this one. You 1652 01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:57,519 Speaker 1: go with the obvious one to Shaun Watson. Does he 1653 01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:00,360 Speaker 1: bounce back after having a pretty bad playoff form it's 1654 01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:03,320 Speaker 1: like the rest of the team last year. You could 1655 01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:05,719 Speaker 1: go with Will Fuller if he's active, does he change 1656 01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:08,360 Speaker 1: the dimensions of things? Those are good on's JJ wattson 1657 01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:10,720 Speaker 1: obvious one. If he comes back, how's he look. I'm 1658 01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:13,960 Speaker 1: gonna go with this one though, the guy who leads 1659 01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:19,439 Speaker 1: this team in postseason sacks all time. It's Whitney merciless 1660 01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:22,439 Speaker 1: because what I think happens is JJ Watt comes back 1661 01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:25,639 Speaker 1: and that gives Whitney and the rest of the defensive 1662 01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:27,920 Speaker 1: line a little bit of breathing room. And when Whitney 1663 01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:30,120 Speaker 1: has a little bit of breathing room, both in the 1664 01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:32,920 Speaker 1: regular season and in the postseason especially, he's done things. 1665 01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:35,960 Speaker 1: He's done really well. And so I think Whitney's going 1666 01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,920 Speaker 1: to add to that sack total, and hopefully he adds 1667 01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,000 Speaker 1: in a strip sack or or you know, forces a 1668 01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:44,400 Speaker 1: fumble or two more. And I think Whitney's gonna be 1669 01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:46,320 Speaker 1: be important in this one because you want to mess 1670 01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:49,479 Speaker 1: with the young quarterback. You want to make him make mistakes. 1671 01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:52,840 Speaker 1: He's been good about not making too many of them. Interceptions, 1672 01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:56,160 Speaker 1: but fumbles, yes, that's right. And he runs quite a bit. 1673 01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:58,479 Speaker 1: I mean nine touchdown runs. That's more in what DeShawn 1674 01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:01,040 Speaker 1: has and Seawan had seven. So let's kind of do 1675 01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:03,960 Speaker 1: what you did with Gardner Minshew. It's a different beast, obviously, 1676 01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,280 Speaker 1: a different much different quarterback. But what you did with 1677 01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:09,160 Speaker 1: him in London, you kept him in the pocket, made 1678 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:11,200 Speaker 1: him make mistakes, and you dropped him a few times, 1679 01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:13,519 Speaker 1: and at the end it's sort of cascaded and got 1680 01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,880 Speaker 1: away from him. So I want Whitney merciless to be 1681 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:20,200 Speaker 1: my Texan to watch, to make some make the bills, 1682 01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:22,840 Speaker 1: make some mistakes, and maybe feast a little bit of 1683 01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:27,200 Speaker 1: attention coming from where J J watt throughout the year 1684 01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:32,000 Speaker 1: my guy because you picked Whitney. I'm just gonna give 1685 01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,599 Speaker 1: a little bit of lip service to Zach Cuttingham right 1686 01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:36,400 Speaker 1: off the bat, but he's not gonna be my guy 1687 01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:38,040 Speaker 1: just because you picked the defensive guy. So I'm picking 1688 01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:40,840 Speaker 1: offensive guy. But Zach Cunningham when we do extra points, 1689 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:43,080 Speaker 1: he's been somebody's pick. Yeah, exact of the three of 1690 01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:46,200 Speaker 1: them every every single weekday. Because are you facing a 1691 01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:48,640 Speaker 1: running team, okay, well, Zach's important. Are you facing the 1692 01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:51,600 Speaker 1: quarterback that's mobile, Well, Zach's got to be able to 1693 01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:53,600 Speaker 1: track that guy. Are you facing some tight ends that 1694 01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:56,080 Speaker 1: can get open. Okay, Zack's got to cover those tight ends. 1695 01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:58,080 Speaker 1: Are you facing some running backs that are lethal out 1696 01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,439 Speaker 1: of the backfield in the receiving game, Okay, Zach's got 1697 01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:02,640 Speaker 1: to handle all all of that any Not only does 1698 01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,519 Speaker 1: he have to, but he's he's exceptional in doing so. 1699 01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:07,920 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give a little lip service to Zach 1700 01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:11,000 Speaker 1: on that because he absolutely deserves it. But my guy 1701 01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:13,960 Speaker 1: is is going to turn into guys. And we kind 1702 01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:16,920 Speaker 1: of talked about them a little bit earlier, and that's 1703 01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:19,519 Speaker 1: the tight ends Darren Fells, Jordan Nakins, and George Thomas, 1704 01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:22,840 Speaker 1: mainly Fells, and you know, Fells got the Sunday off 1705 01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:26,360 Speaker 1: and it was funny. I was talking to one of 1706 01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:29,120 Speaker 1: the Texans personnel guys I can't remember for us. I 1707 01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:33,160 Speaker 1: think maybe talking to Baz, And I said, Baz Matt Baskin, 1708 01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:35,800 Speaker 1: who I believe director of player Personnel is his actual title. 1709 01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:37,360 Speaker 1: And so Bas and I were talking about the season 1710 01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:39,639 Speaker 1: and stuff. We're getting ready for to watch the ball game, 1711 01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:41,920 Speaker 1: and I said, Baz, and you're a heart of hearts. 1712 01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:45,639 Speaker 1: Can you honestly tell me that you expected to get 1713 01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:47,600 Speaker 1: what you got this year from Darren Fells. He's like, 1714 01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:50,240 Speaker 1: oh no, he goes. There's nobody He's like, not even 1715 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:55,800 Speaker 1: Fells included. Yeah, expected expected this and he's been he's 1716 01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,960 Speaker 1: been phenomenal. I mean, his numbers have been great. He's 1717 01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:02,360 Speaker 1: gotten in the end zone, He's blocked extremely well, and 1718 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:05,920 Speaker 1: I felt like with Aikins and Thomas, then you have 1719 01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:09,200 Speaker 1: wearing that. You know, Fellas, I knew the first day. 1720 01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:13,160 Speaker 1: I knew the first week of OTAs like Fellas will 1721 01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:14,840 Speaker 1: be here, Like you could just see it that when 1722 01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:17,160 Speaker 1: he put the pads on training camp, I knew, like, Okay, 1723 01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:19,240 Speaker 1: Fellas is gonna be here. But by that point he 1724 01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:22,879 Speaker 1: had already created this synergy with DeShawn and throwing the football. 1725 01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:25,719 Speaker 1: But I think Fellas ends up being a big factor 1726 01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:29,200 Speaker 1: because I think the Bills are gonna adhere to the 1727 01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:31,840 Speaker 1: philosophy of we're gonna take away. We're gonna we're gonna 1728 01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:33,800 Speaker 1: do the belcheck thing. We're gonna take away your number 1729 01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:36,519 Speaker 1: one guy, that's Hopkins. We're gonna take him away. Whether 1730 01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:39,439 Speaker 1: it's with Tredavious White or it's White with help, we're 1731 01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:41,519 Speaker 1: gonna take him away. I was gonna say it, would 1732 01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:44,120 Speaker 1: it be two guys other than Tredevious White and then 1733 01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:47,559 Speaker 1: let him get on When we played him last time, 1734 01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:51,120 Speaker 1: White was on Hop and traveled with hop the whole game. 1735 01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:54,080 Speaker 1: He kind of gave some fits. So yeah, so touchdown 1736 01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:57,040 Speaker 1: the side. That's I would imagine that's what they'll go 1737 01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:58,920 Speaker 1: back to. But I don't know that you're gonna have 1738 01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:03,519 Speaker 1: this think this is the philosophy. I think it's gotta 1739 01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:05,439 Speaker 1: be a mix of things. Okay, here are three different 1740 01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:09,519 Speaker 1: things we do White double m duble them with White 1741 01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:13,040 Speaker 1: like one of those three. So you have those options. 1742 01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:17,639 Speaker 1: So that to me makes Fells that much more important 1743 01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:20,320 Speaker 1: because he's gonna be able to find matchups that he 1744 01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:23,479 Speaker 1: likes and then to your point, catch the football and 1745 01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:27,160 Speaker 1: get up the field and run the ball. Okay, Lightning Round, 1746 01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:31,959 Speaker 1: we've done our Texan to watch, but Lightning Round Buffalo 1747 01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:35,600 Speaker 1: Bill or watch mine is Tredevious White. Because of what 1748 01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:38,280 Speaker 1: you just mentioned, who's the match up with It's probably, 1749 01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:40,720 Speaker 1: like you said, Hopkins, but they might do the other 1750 01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:44,439 Speaker 1: shenanigans where he goes on Fuller or Stills and let's too, 1751 01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:46,320 Speaker 1: but it's probably gonna be Hopkins a base of what 1752 01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:48,200 Speaker 1: he did, so I want to see what he did. Also, 1753 01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:53,000 Speaker 1: because I just wrote the I tweeted out Bill O'Brien 1754 01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:55,200 Speaker 1: saying he's one of Tredavious White is one of the 1755 01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:58,560 Speaker 1: best corners will see all season. And somebody from the 1756 01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:04,080 Speaker 1: Bills mafia answered me, like, so, it's like, that's exactly 1757 01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:07,760 Speaker 1: how Bill's mafia. It's like easy guy, I mean, has 1758 01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:12,200 Speaker 1: set fun Gilmore. We're pretty good too. Yeah, Um, since 1759 01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:14,920 Speaker 1: you picked the defensive guy, I'll go with the offensive guy. 1760 01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:17,800 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say John Smoke Brown he is We 1761 01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:20,320 Speaker 1: remember him from Phoenix. He could fly. We remember him 1762 01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:24,479 Speaker 1: from the preseason. Yeah, he can absolutely fly. And that 1763 01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:27,479 Speaker 1: ends up being an issue because the Patriots try to 1764 01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:30,519 Speaker 1: double him and he ran by both of them. He 1765 01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:33,360 Speaker 1: spunged Fon Gilmore around like a top. He ran past 1766 01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:36,320 Speaker 1: Devin mccordy. You'll see that on Texas Illustrator. I did 1767 01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:39,280 Speaker 1: that play because it just shows where the danger in 1768 01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:42,599 Speaker 1: this Bill's offense is. I don't think it's a it's 1769 01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:45,439 Speaker 1: not a top ten offense, not even a top fifteen offense. 1770 01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:47,360 Speaker 1: I don't care if the Stad's say it's not that. 1771 01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:51,800 Speaker 1: But but if you get lazy and you get kind 1772 01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:55,280 Speaker 1: of sucked in pal here comes John Brown flying by 1773 01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:58,479 Speaker 1: you and hurting you. And that has added everything to 1774 01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:02,120 Speaker 1: the Bill's offense that's really good, even them. The opportunity 1775 01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:04,320 Speaker 1: to put the point points in the board. If you 1776 01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:06,040 Speaker 1: don't have if they don't have John Brown, it's like 1777 01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:09,000 Speaker 1: they'll dink and duncan. They'll maybe score thirteen points. John 1778 01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:10,800 Speaker 1: Brown is the opportunity to fly by you and get 1779 01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:13,360 Speaker 1: get a cheap seven. Then their defense can get seven. 1780 01:28:13,479 --> 01:28:15,120 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, they've got seventeen up on the 1781 01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:16,880 Speaker 1: board because they have one of their drive for field goal. 1782 01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:19,360 Speaker 1: Can you get seventeen up on the board against that defense? 1783 01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:24,360 Speaker 1: So defensively you get Todavious White. Offensively John Smoke Brown. 1784 01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:26,280 Speaker 1: Those are two guys that are absolutely gonna have an 1785 01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:29,040 Speaker 1: impact on this game in a big way. Cannot wait Saturday, 1786 01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:32,120 Speaker 1: cannot get here soon enough. Got a lot of people 1787 01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:36,799 Speaker 1: to thank for tonight's show.
