7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: Let's not have the Texans cool off though. That would

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: be kind of fun to keep them going and rolling

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: and get the four and three with a win on

10
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. So we'll start to break

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: it down. We're gonna hear from some key people including Tobiko,

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: be a blast. We got a little in the lab

17
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: with Drew Doherty. We're gonna go men behind the mics

18
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: with a niche shruff, and that's gonna be kind of

19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: an interesting one because the two gentlemen that spend their

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: Friday and Sunday with Andre Ware. Got a chance to

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: talk today and that's gonna be awesome. A Niche Shroff

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: is to play by playman for the Carolina Panthers. Well,

23
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: he does the Friday game in college football. And who's

24
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: the game analyst for that game? Andre Ware? Who's our

25
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: game analyst? Andre Ware? So Mark Vandimir caught up of

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: the Niche Schroff. I believe this is first year, first

27
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: or second year with the Panthers. Uh so he will

28
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: join us for men behind the mics. So we got

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: a lot to do, but we kick off every Wednesday

30
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: show as we should. The executive vice president of Football

31
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: Ops and jeral Manager. You're Houston Texans, Nick Casio, Mark me, Nick.

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,919
Speaker 2: Go visiting with us now in the hun Day Texans

33
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: Radio studio. It's executive vice president and general manager Nick Cassario.

34
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 3: Nick.

35
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 4: Back from the bye. How's it going?

36
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 5: Hell, it's good to be here, ready to go.

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: Great to be back in action. So what are some

38
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: of the things we should look for coming out of

39
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: the bye? Things you have to be careful about and

40
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: things you benefit from after the bye.

41
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 6: Big thing with the by, it just enables you to

42
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 6: kind of recalibrate collectively as a team, players, coaches, staff,

43
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 6: take advantage of a handful of days that we had off,

44
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 6: came back in the building, you know, Monday, head practice,

45
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 6: and really kind of get ready to go. So you

46
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 6: really go back into sort of regular season, in season,

47
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 6: game week preparation, kind of go through your process and

48
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 6: really just take it one game at a time, one

49
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 6: week at a time, so understand what we need to

50
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 6: do each week relative to the opponent, work on some

51
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 6: of the things or incorporate some of the things that

52
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 6: maybe we can incorporate that might enhance our overall ability

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 6: as a team. So essentially, it's just a deep breath

54
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 6: more than anything else. You're not going to do anything

55
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 6: drastically different. So now it's just come back with the

56
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 6: right mindset and the right mentality. Understand we have a

57
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 6: pretty significant stretch of games in front of us.

58
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: Nick I, just outside looking in it feels like there's Scout,

59
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: shockout self Scout. Then you talked about going and seeing

60
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: some of the college games. It's kind of the future

61
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: of Okay, this we have now, this is what the

62
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: future could be. So for you, what was the bye

63
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: week like and kind of merging those two, kind of

64
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: taking a look at where the team is where, you know,

65
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: talking about Demiko. I know you talked about that last time.

66
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: You guys talked about some of the future things and

67
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: on to next year, all that kind of stuff. But

68
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: how was the bye week for you from that perspective

69
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: kind of look good team now and then look at

70
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: us some future college prospects.

71
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're always balancing. I'd say a little bit of everything.

72
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 6: So I think last week was really spent on kind

73
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 6: of going through our team, going through some of the

74
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 6: things that have happened in the first six games, starting

75
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 6: to work on Carolina, and then just taking the information

76
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 6: in on some of the college prospects as well, which

77
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 6: is part of the kind of the weekly process. So

78
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 6: i'd say in the short term, i'd say for the

79
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 6: duration here, the primary focus will be on this season

80
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 6: and this team. We'll kind of worry about next year

81
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 6: relative to what that team's going to look like. The

82
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 6: trade deadline's coming up here, so there might be an

83
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 6: opportunity to add a player that we feel can help

84
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 6: our team. If there isn't, we feel comfortable with the

85
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 6: players that are in the building, so there'll be some

86
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 6: moving parts, and then once you get through the trade deadline,

87
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 6: then essentially if you release the play everybody goes through waivers.

88
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 6: So if you're releasing players kind of we talked about

89
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 6: this few weeks ago, moving guys on and off the roster,

90
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 6: you might have to expose them a little bit more

91
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 6: to the rest of the league. So I think the

92
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 6: big thing will be week to week what do we

93
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 6: need to do both from a personnel standpoint, who's available?

94
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 6: Do we have to go out and find a replacement player?

95
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 6: And then while we're doing that, once we get into December,

96
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 6: we'll kind of start our initial round of sort of

97
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 6: draft meetings, which is really more of an informational meeting,

98
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 6: like what do we need to find out about said

99
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 6: prospects once January February roll around, What can you.

100
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: Tell us generally about how trade conversations take place, because

101
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: you don't know who's really available until you find out.

102
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 4: Do you call them, do they call you? I got

103
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 4: to imagine it's a combination. But how do those go down?

104
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 7: Nick?

105
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really more of everybody is probably going to

106
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 6: talk to everybody here at some point. Essentially we'll touch

107
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 6: base with every team in the league. They'll reach out

108
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 6: to us, Hey, what's going on. Is there any players

109
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 6: that might be available. I think we've taken the standpoint,

110
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 6: you know, we're not shopping any players, so you're just

111
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 6: if a team asks about said player, then we talk

112
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 6: about it. What's our alternative, what's our option if we

113
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 6: move on from the player, if we keep the players.

114
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 6: So it's very organic. I would say there's no I

115
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 6: would say template of how exactly it's going to go.

116
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 5: I think towards the end of the.

117
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,679
Speaker 6: Week, you'll probably have an idea of a who's looking

118
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 6: be who may be available, and there might be a

119
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 6: match or might not be a match, So some of them,

120
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 6: some of it will be relevant to us. Quite frankly,

121
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 6: some of it won't be relevant to us. So just

122
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 6: take the information in like we normally do, and then

123
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 6: just try to make a good decision based on where

124
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 6: we are as a team.

125
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: Nick, I'm sort of fascinated by the trade deadline because

126
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: they're thirty one other teams. You've been around the league,

127
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: so you know, hey, this might be this might be

128
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: the right guy to call, This might be the wrong

129
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: person to call. How do you kind of knows? You

130
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: go through the trade deadline and just trades in general.

131
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: Who the right people to call are? Yeah, that's a

132
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: good question.

133
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 6: There's no certain people reach out or they know kind

134
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 6: of how we operate new business, so they're not afraid

135
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 6: to pick up the phone and vice versa. So if

136
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 6: a team of very specific team is looking for a

137
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 6: specific player, then they're going to reach out or they

138
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 6: may go through somebody in your personnel department. Then an

139
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 6: information eventually makes it to my desk and then we

140
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 6: talk about it myself and Emik will talk about it.

141
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 6: So some team, you know, you have certain relationships with

142
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 6: certain people, so it kind of starts there, just like

143
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 6: anything else.

144
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 5: But I think people know kind of how we operate

145
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:32,559
Speaker 5: and that we're open.

146
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 6: That we listen doesn't necessarily mean that we're going to

147
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 6: do anything, but that's part of our obligation and responsibility

148
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 6: is to do that.

149
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: So since it's been over a week since you played,

150
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: what are some of the things that you're happiest with

151
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: so far through six games as you embark on the

152
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: final eleven here of the regular season, and a couple

153
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: of things maybe that you want to see done better overall.

154
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, when you look at just the turnover margin. I

155
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 6: think we're second in the league in terms of turnover margins,

156
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 6: so it means we're not giving the ball to the

157
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 6: other team and we're taking it away from the opponent.

158
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 6: So I mean that's something when at the end of

159
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 6: the year when you look the top teams in the

160
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 6: league are going to be somewhere in the top ten

161
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 6: or twelve, So it just heightens the importance of the football.

162
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 6: So I would say that's something hopefully we can continue

163
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 6: that trend. I mean, offensively, just taking care of the football,

164
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 6: putting a premium on ball security is absolutely paramount, and

165
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 6: then improving hopefully some of the situational areas, specifically third

166
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 6: down in the red area. We've kind of made some

167
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 6: incremental progress in those areas when you go back and

168
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 6: look at the New Orleans game, kind of difference in

169
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 6: the game and being a red area, so we've made

170
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 6: some improvements in them. But scoring in points will be

171
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 6: at a premium, and some of the teams that we're

172
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 6: playing here the next few weeks are some of the

173
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 6: better teams in the red area, so our ability to

174
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 6: score points and finished drives will be important. And I'd

175
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 6: say just overall team execution and Demiko has talked about this.

176
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 6: Just focus on the details of your job, of your

177
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 6: specific assignment, and just every play understanding why it's important.

178
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 6: It's not you can't take a playoff or do it

179
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 6: the right way one play and then the next play

180
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 6: do is something different because you tried a different technique.

181
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 6: Can't lead It's probably not going to work in our favor.

182
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 6: So just the focusing on the details and the execution

183
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 6: of your job and doing it consistently game after game,

184
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 6: week after week, that's probably going to be a differentiating

185
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 6: factor as we move forward.

186
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: Okay, I've been over here itching waiting for this, So

187
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: it's time for the Carolina Panthers.

188
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 7: Got to report.

189
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 8: It's I have to.

190
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: I just kind of get through the first few questions

191
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: down to Brax Tax. It's the Panthers. Everybody knows they're

192
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: zero to six. But Nick, there's a lot there. There

193
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: are a lot of players that have made some really

194
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: good football players since in their career. Derek Brown upfront,

195
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: et cetera. What do you see with the Panthers. What's

196
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: the scotting report on the Carolina Panthers.

197
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of good coaches.

198
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 6: I mean, obviously a new staff I think the big

199
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 6: thing offensively, and coach Reich had alluded to this, are

200
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 6: going to kind of make a transition here. And from

201
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 6: a play calling perspective, you know Thomas Brown, who has

202
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 6: a background, you know with the Rams, I would say

203
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 6: system and offense. Tom this is a very bright young coach,

204
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 6: has a good background, so you know, be interesting to

205
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 6: kind of see some of the things that they do

206
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 6: offensively if they're going to be that drastically different. But

207
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 6: you know, Bryce has played well. I think he's been

208
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 6: accurate the ball for the most part. He's made good decisions,

209
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 6: and the offense looks like it's continued to grow so

210
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 6: and Theieland's having as good of a year as any

211
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 6: receiver in the league. So it looks like that's been

212
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 6: a pretty good acquisition and pick up. They have some

213
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 6: good skill players. Kind of incorporated Mingo in a little

214
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 6: bit and he took in a second round a little

215
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 6: miss Chon Alt's given him some good plays with the

216
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 6: ball in his hand out he got hurt either the

217
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 6: Miami game or the week before. So good set of

218
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 6: skill players, good backs. They've kind of had to deal

219
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,719
Speaker 6: with some injuries on the offensive line. But Icky, you

220
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 6: know they took last year in the first round. He's

221
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 6: basically played every snap since he's been selected. And you know,

222
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 6: Mutan Moton is good right tackle. So they've kind of

223
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 6: had transition here a little bit on the offensive line

224
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 6: and defensively, I mean everything starts with the front. I

225
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 6: mean everybody talks about Brown and Burns, which they should.

226
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 6: Who arguably the best players at their respective positions in

227
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 6: the league. They've gotten really good production. Uh Louvu I

228
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 6: don't want to say came out of nowhere, but he

229
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 6: was in the line of scrimmage player with the Jets

230
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 6: and we ended up in Carolina. He's created a lot

231
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 6: of negative plays, so plays very physical, good blitzer. You know,

232
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 6: they lost Shack, you know, Thompson, who's been a really

233
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 6: good player for a long period of time. So Kg's

234
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 6: actually giving us some snaps in the secondary. They've kind

235
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 6: of had to deal with some injuries. I mean Chin's

236
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 6: been injured, Jc's be Horn's been injured. So they've lost

237
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 6: some guys, but they still have. You know, it's say

238
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 6: a good defense that presents some problems, and they're pretty

239
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 6: good in the kicking game and good punter record, does

240
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 6: a lot of things well, and Panero has been a

241
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 6: pretty consistent kicker, so they've played well at times in games.

242
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 6: You know, they're zero to six. I mean, their record

243
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 6: is what the record is. But I mean I think

244
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 6: that can be a little bit misleading. I mean, we

245
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 6: certainly have some challenges that we're going to face here

246
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 6: going into going into this week.

247
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 2: Well, Thomas Brown, you mentioned him, and there's not a

248
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: lot of time to revamp everything, but a little bit

249
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: here and a little bit there can be very dangerous, Right,

250
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: that's gonna be tough to figure out what he could

251
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 2: possibly do.

252
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can't chase ghosts, and you can kind of

253
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 6: maybe look at coach's history maybe some of the things

254
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 6: that they've done. And then once you get into the game,

255
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 6: there's probably going to be an adjustment element. Maybe you

256
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 6: see a little bit more of this, a little bit

257
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 6: less of that, So the game may start to declare

258
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 6: a little bit more about how they want to use

259
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 6: their personnel. So that'll be the big thing to your point, Mark,

260
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 6: You're not going to necessarily like wholesale change everything, So personnel,

261
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 6: understanding the personnel, what the player's strengths and weaknesses are are,

262
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 6: and then how they're going to utilize them and deploy them.

263
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 6: They may have something schematically that maybe they haven't shown,

264
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 6: but it's not as if there's going to be a

265
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 6: brand new offense. Maybe they incorporate something that they haven't

266
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 6: used previously. So some of that will be just adjusting

267
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 6: and understanding the game, understanding of personnel, and then reacting

268
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 6: to the situation as the game.

269
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 5: Moves through, you know, the early part of the game.

270
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you were aware of this, but

271
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: this past offseason there was a lot of talk about

272
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks in this particular town.

273
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 4: So my assumption is that you did do some work

274
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 4: on Bryce Young.

275
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: What did you see from Bryce as a college prospect

276
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: that he's now taking into his NFL game?

277
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 7: What have you seen from Bryce thus far?

278
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 8: Yeah?

279
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 6: Bryce is a really instinctive player. I mean, he has

280
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 6: a good understanding, you know, space of where to go

281
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 6: with the football and his ability to sort of maneuver

282
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 6: within the pockets. Probably a bit underrated. He's accurate, he's anticipatory.

283
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 6: I think against whoever it was, I mean he had

284
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 6: I think it was Minnesota eighteen completions in a row.

285
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 6: So I mean, you're certainly doing some things well. So

286
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,599
Speaker 6: let's say Bryce has played pretty similarly to what he

287
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 6: showed at you know, Alabama. He's starting to take a

288
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 6: little bit better care of the football, which is always

289
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 6: a big thing. That's especially for younger players or younger

290
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 6: players that position. So Bryce is gonna be a good player,

291
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 6: probably for long period time. So yeah, we'll see kind

292
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 6: of what it looks like on Sunday.

293
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: I'll probably ask you this again in March, but it

294
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: was the bye. So I watched college and pro football

295
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: till my Retina's almost burned out.

296
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 6: I didn't, but I watched more baseball than I did.

297
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 6: Probably football I did that too.

298
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: But when you're looking at college football, Nick, I'm watching

299
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: these games and I'm thinking, can you give me a

300
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: couple of the things that are really hard to judge

301
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: as they translate to the pro game. I'm watching the

302
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 2: speed differential, the wideness of the hash marks, and it

303
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: just looks like a different sports. Sometimes when you're watching

304
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: college football.

305
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 6: There's just more space again the fields of the field,

306
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 6: but the hash marks are legitimate, so you know, when

307
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 6: you're playing on a near hash you're pretty much on

308
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 6: a boundary and the sidelines right there so there's just

309
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 6: more space that you have to I would say, handle

310
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 6: or defend on the defensive side of the ball. And

311
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 6: I don't want to say that a lot of offenses

312
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 6: incorporate some of the RPO elements, but I mean a

313
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 6: lot of offenses that you want much incorporate that. Even

314
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 6: a team like Michigan, who I think kind of gets

315
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 6: pigeonholed as a running team, they use eleven personnel, they

316
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 6: you know, eleven and twelve personnel. They have a good

317
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 6: offensive line. So I think the space element you're starting

318
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 6: to see, you've seen those concepts kind of filter into

319
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 6: the NFL game and so that is not as big

320
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 6: of an adjustment for a player in terms of understanding

321
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 6: that that concept in that particular play, but the space

322
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 6: is absolutely, you know, a factor.

323
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 5: So it's interesting.

324
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 6: It looks like there's been pretty good defensive play in

325
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 6: college football this year. So I think you're getting more athletic,

326
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 6: more you know, faster players.

327
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: As far as the defensive performance of the teams, the

328
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: quicker clock in college football maybe to a degree.

329
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 6: Possibly so ultimately comes down to your ability to execute,

330
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 6: your ability to keep the other team out of the

331
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 6: end zone. A limit of points right, And it looks

332
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 6: like some of the teams that are at the top

333
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 6: in the rankings there have been able to do that.

334
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 6: You know, start with Georgia, House State, Penn State. I mean,

335
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 6: I know, you know, House stated up beating Penn State there.

336
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 6: But you're pretty good on defense, you know, Michigan's good

337
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 6: on defense. Alabama, I would say, even though they lost

338
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 6: a number of players, still get on defense. So it's

339
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 6: always an interesting year in college football kind of starts

340
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 6: to take shape right about now and you're starting to

341
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 6: see some things. So it's always good to kind of look,

342
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 6: we're looking at it. You know, we're peeking at it

343
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 6: on a pretty regular basis. We have scouts going into

344
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 6: schools every week, so they're cognizant of some of the

345
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 6: things that are going on, maybe some of the things

346
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 6: that we might be able to incorporate, we might be

347
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 6: able to utilize, and just understanding how that game is

348
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 6: being played. And one we get them here again, you're

349
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 6: not going to necessarily like they're not starting from completely

350
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 6: from scratch, but there's going to be an adjustment period

351
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 6: that the player is going to have to go through.

352
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: Nick, because I thought about this team and We've thought

353
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: about this team sitting at three and three at the

354
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: by and the trade deadline.

355
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 7: We talked about that a little bit.

356
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: How much of what the team has done to this point,

357
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: whether it's record or what you just see from the

358
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: progress of rookies and you're talking about college football, changes

359
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: your thought process as you look at the trade deadline.

360
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, do you do you take that into account?

361
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: I mean, or if you get an offer that's just man,

362
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: this is too good. We just have to take this offer.

363
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: How do you kind of look at where the team

364
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: is kind of record wise, what the expectations were the

365
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: team where you want it to go in the trade deadline?

366
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: How can I marry all those That makes any sense? Yeah, no,

367
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense.

368
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 6: You try not to let one particular thing or a

369
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 6: record cloud your judgment and your decision making. So whatever

370
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 6: the situation is, whatever gets presented, take the information and

371
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 6: go through your decision making process and just in the end,

372
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 6: try to make a good decision for the football team.

373
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 6: So I'll get you're balancing short term and potentially some

374
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 6: longer term ramifications as well, So you try not to

375
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 6: let one or two factors impact something directly I think

376
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 6: everybody wants to like the dots.

377
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 5: Well, if a then automatically be not necessarily the case.

378
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 6: So candidly, I think there's a little bit more talk

379
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 6: than there needs to be about the trade deadline, and

380
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 6: it gets built up in a little bit of a

381
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 6: hype cycle.

382
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 5: So it's just a point in time. It's a finite

383
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 5: point in time. You kind of know when you have.

384
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 6: The ability to move players across teams. If that doesn't work, well,

385
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 6: you still have the waiver wire, you still have the

386
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 6: ability to acquire players from another team's practice squad, so

387
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 6: there's still opportunities to add players to your team. So

388
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 6: it's always at what cost, what are you giving up,

389
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 6: what are you getting in return? And how much of

390
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 6: a difference is that decision going to make, both now

391
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 6: and potentially in the future.

392
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: Nick Carolina, how important is it to ignore a team's

393
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 2: record in general?

394
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: Here?

395
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,239
Speaker 2: Because you look at the weekend, you see one win

396
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 2: New England, what they did to Buffalo, you see one

397
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 2: win Chicago what they did to the Raiders. And now

398
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 2: you go into Carolina and you have a similar situation.

399
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 2: I guess with a team that doesn't have a good record,

400
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 2: but they've got players, and that happens every week in

401
00:17:58,960 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 2: this league.

402
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 6: Absolutely, Mark, you couldn't articulate any better. I mean, each

403
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 6: week is its own week, So you can't worry about

404
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 6: what happened in the past, you can't worry about what's

405
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 6: going to go on in the future. Focus on that

406
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 6: team each week, and if you do the things that

407
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 6: are conducive to winning, you're gonna be in a good spot.

408
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 6: If you don't, you're gonna potentially put your team in

409
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 6: a position where you're gonna come out, you know, on

410
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 6: the wrong end of it. And then you know you

411
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 6: obviously want a positive outcome. So essentially you have to

412
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 6: throw the records out the window. I mean, it's just

413
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 6: here's where the team is. But it doesn't necessarily mean

414
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 6: they're gonna play a certain way or they're gonna play

415
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 6: to that record. It just means, well, here's where they

416
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 6: are for this point in time. We can't worry about that.

417
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 6: We have to focus on our team, our execution, our preparation,

418
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 6: putting in a good week, work a good week's worth

419
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 6: of work, and then go out there on Sunday and

420
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 6: we have to execute. And if we execute better than

421
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 6: the other team, then we're gonna be happy. If we don't,

422
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 6: then you know we're gonna be sitting here next week

423
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 6: and we're probably gonna be disappointed. So I mean, records,

424
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 6: you got to throw them out the window because it

425
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 6: really don't matter. It's just really about where are you

426
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 6: that particular week and focus on that week and who

427
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 6: the opponent is. This league is too competitive. There's too

428
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 6: many good players, there's too many good coaches, and everybody

429
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 6: has the same opportunity each week. So that's why your

430
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 6: focus is show short term in nature, because you can't

431
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 6: really worry about what happened before or after it, because

432
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 6: ultimately you don't control it.

433
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: Nick, each Sunday, I ask you keys through win, Offense, defense,

434
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: special teams. With the keys through win, step back and

435
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: look at what are the keys over the final eleven

436
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: weeks of the year for this team. Not a specific

437
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: opponent I ask you about down on Sunday, but what's

438
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: the keys in all three phases over the next eleven weeks.

439
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'd say Number one, stay healthy, you know, try

440
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 6: to keep as many of your good players on a

441
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 6: field as possible. Number Two, try to execute and be

442
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 6: consistent on a week to week basis, kind of stay

443
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 6: away from the peaks and valleys and then just still

444
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 6: look for improvement. There's ways that you can continually improve

445
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 6: your team, even if it's on the margin. So if

446
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 6: you break the season up kind of into quarters, so

447
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 6: we've kind of gone through a quarter and a half, if.

448
00:19:58,480 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 5: You will, all right, we're going to play a few

449
00:19:59,720 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 5: more game.

450
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 6: Teams finish the second quarter, and then we're still are

451
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 6: going to have another eight to nine games in front

452
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 6: of us. So you're always looking for improvement, You're always

453
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 6: looking for a consistency, and Dimiko has talked about this extensively.

454
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 6: Just each day, focus on the details of your job

455
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 6: going out there, just do your job, focus on the

456
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 6: things that you can control, understand the opponent, and then

457
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 6: let Sunday kind of take care of itself. The work

458
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,719
Speaker 6: that you put in during the week hopefully is going

459
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 6: to help you on Sunday. So I think if you

460
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 6: if our team keeps that thought process and that mindset. Again,

461
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 6: I know nobody really wants to hear this, but the

462
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 6: process is as important as anything else. So if you

463
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 6: have a good process and you're consistent over the course

464
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,719
Speaker 6: of time, hopefully that leads to good results. I mean,

465
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 6: even if you have a good process and you have

466
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 6: a good week, you might end up on the you know,

467
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 6: losing end of the ledger. I mean, that's gonna happen.

468
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 6: That's part of the NFL. But understand what happened, What

469
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 6: do we need to do and improve it? What do

470
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 6: we have to do to make sure we prevent that

471
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 6: from happening. And as long as the players understand that

472
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 6: they're diligent about their process and their work, then you

473
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 6: know we'll be in decent shape.

474
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 4: All right, very important. Next week it's Halloween.

475
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 5: The least favorite holiday.

476
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 9: Yeah.

477
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 2: I know you have young kids, though, and this has

478
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 2: level importance to kids.

479
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: We all know, we believe me.

480
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 6: We have more candy and more costumes, and we've already

481
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 6: had more discussions about it. I try to stay out

482
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 6: of those discussions.

483
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 4: So all right, So when was the last time you

484
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 4: wore a costume?

485
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 9: And was it?

486
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 2: And give me a couple of your favorite from when

487
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 2: you were a kid in Ohio trick or treating?

488
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 4: What was Nick Cassario for Halloween?

489
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 9: Okay?

490
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 6: I the last time I wore a costume and it's

491
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 6: really was a fake costume was probably when my wife

492
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 6: and I were dating. I think I dressed up as

493
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 6: like a pilot or something like that, and I just

494
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 6: put a short sleeve shirt.

495
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 5: You know, with the pan you didn't really have to

496
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 5: do anything else. So that was about the extent of it.

497
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 6: When I was a kid, I think I was a

498
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 6: traditional and I pictured my mom showed me the picture

499
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 6: football kind of a player, and I didn't have my

500
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 6: front teeth, so I had this massive picture of me

501
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 6: smiling without my teeth. So and you're wearing I think

502
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 6: who was I wearing. I'd have to look at the picture,

503
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 6: but I think whatever the team was with that Hutch series,

504
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 6: I think we all have those Hutch kind of jerseys,

505
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 6: plastic helmets, which there's really not helmets, just basically put

506
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 6: a piece of piece of plastic.

507
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 4: On your for the protocol.

508
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 5: No, not at all.

509
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 6: That would not make it through. So and you know,

510
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 6: candy corn, you know, would be in the in a

511
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 6: basket there.

512
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 4: So that's controversial.

513
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so you're pro candy corn, I'd say, probably

514
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: middle of the road, but maybe more.

515
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 5: Pro than Snickers or something else.

516
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, interesting, Okay, that's good because it's definite controversial topic.

517
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 5: Okay, I guess i'd lean a little bit more in

518
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 5: favor if good choice.

519
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 4: I'm okay with it. I'm in favor, all right, Nick,

520
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 4: good luck, Thanks a lot, Thanks fellas.

521
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: All right, great stuff there from Nick Caserio. And we

522
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: did a lot of talk about the trade deadline mark

523
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: with Nick, and I don't think he got upset by it.

524
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: I do think it's a pretty interesting topic, uh, to

525
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: be honest with you, like, what's gonna happen with the

526
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: trade deadline? Of course it's Halloween, so that makes it

527
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: kind of fun. And you hear all kinds of rumors

528
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: and various things. And one thing I read from Diana

529
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: Rossini this weekend. She was kind of doing a little

530
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: blurb for a lot of the teams, and she said,

531
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: expect the Texans to be quiet. And I'm like, whenever

532
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: I feel that way, I feel like something's about to happen.

533
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: I feel like something's about to happen. But I'm not

534
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: gonna get overly upset or not if they don't or what.

535
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: But I feel like this can be an interesting trade

536
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: deadline no matter what happens for the Texans.

537
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 2: So what is the most significant trade deadline trade in

538
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: the franchise history. Damarius Thomas, Right, that's got to be it, right,

539
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: that's gotta beignificant in twenty eighteen, and they got him

540
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: right before they went to Denver and the Denver on

541
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 2: the opening drive, caught a couple of passes and his

542
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: big giant picture was up there as they honored him.

543
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 2: But was that right after a game before the deadline?

544
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 2: In other words, was that between the Sunday before the

545
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 2: trade deadline and the deadline itself or was that a weekend?

546
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 4: I can't remember it well.

547
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: I remember it. I remember it distinctly because it was

548
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: a Thursday night and we're playing Miami and we are

549
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: putting it on Miami. We're putting it on Miami in

550
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: a big way. And then in the fourth quarter Will

551
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: Fuller open downfield gets yanked to the ground by Bobby

552
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: McCain and he limps off. And I remember being in

553
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: the locker room and I saw John Perry, wide receivers coach,

554
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: and I saw that look. I've seen that look, and

555
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: I went John, tell me, and he just looked at

556
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: me and went and he shook his head and I

557
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: was like, oh, so that was on a Thursday and

558
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: the trade deadline was Tuesday, and so it was over

559
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: that particular weekend that they were able to get it done.

560
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: And it just so happened that after the mini bye

561
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: we had, we had Damarius Thomas come in to play

562
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: against his former team to Denver Broncos. So that's the

563
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: one that that stood out to me the most. In

564
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: twenty nine, you had made all your trades at the

565
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: beginning of the year, you didn't have any more trade assets.

566
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: But if I remember right in twenty nineteen, there still

567
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: there still was a Gary and Conley trade. I remember that, right.

568
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: I don't know that was close to the trade deadline

569
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: if it was at the trade deadline, but it was

570
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: pretty close.

571
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 8: Yeah.

572
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: And then you look at twenty twenty one, there was

573
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: a lot of buzz externally about a Watson trade possibility

574
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 2: right before the deadline, maybe the Eagles or whoever the

575
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 2: buzzed teams were, but that obviously didn't happen.

576
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 4: So with this, my point is this, should.

577
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 2: You create a need or a need get created from

578
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: whatever happens on Sunday, Please no no needs created in

579
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: whatever happens on Sunday at Carolina. But do you have

580
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: also a chance to make yourself better in a position

581
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: group where you feel like we can get a whole

582
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 2: lot better.

583
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 4: Here, we got a deal that we could possibly do.

584
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: That's why we asked Nick the question of how do

585
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 2: you sort of sift through that preliminary conversations taking place. Well,

586
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 2: you might want to pull the trigger on this, Let's

587
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: just take a few days to think about it. I

588
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 2: know the player might be gone, but maybe we're okay

589
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: with him being gone or maybe not. So there are

590
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 2: a lot of things happening behind the scenes. I don't

591
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 2: know how she got that, Johnny, I wonder where Diana

592
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 2: Russini got it.

593
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 4: I like her a lot. I interviewed her at the

594
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 4: side on the air. I like her a lot.

595
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: Did you hear from an agent? Did you hear from

596
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: somebody in the building. We don't have too many leaks.

597
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: I don't think we have any leaks here anymore. I

598
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 2: don't think anything get leaked here that's not sort of

599
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 2: intentionally leaked, if you know what I mean.

600
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 4: So who knows where that came from.

601
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: But maybe it came from an agent who heard that

602
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 2: now Texans aren't doing anything, or from another team that

603
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 2: heard that from Nick. But come on, you'll always do

604
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 2: something if it's the right thing for your friendship, or

605
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: if somebody blows you away, but we get speculate all

606
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 2: day long.

607
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter, Yeah, it doesn't matter. It's just fun. It's

608
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: fun to think about. I know, as I was kind

609
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: of driving around around lunch time and John Landry were

610
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: talking about Chase Young or the Commanders, and you know,

611
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: that kind of got brought up in around draft time

612
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: about Chase Young. The the hard part back then was, well,

613
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: you he hasn't played and you don't know if he's

614
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: fully healthy. Right, Well, he's come back this year with

615
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: a vengeance. He's got five sacks already, and you know,

616
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: you start thinking about, oh, man, I think what's interesting

617
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: and what's fun about this football team now? Mark is

618
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: when you look at something like that, you look at

619
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: a trade, you start thinking about, man, you're adding a

620
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: piece like that to this team already, Man, what could

621
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: this end up looking like? And you know, you just

622
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: your brain goes to a million different spots like, oh man,

623
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: you put Chase Young with Will Anderson, John Grenard and

624
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: holy cow, it gets really interesting really fast. But it's

625
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: obviously it's speculation. It's it's definitely fun to talk about.

626
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,959
Speaker 1: But one thing that's not speculation, Mark and get your

627
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: thoughts on this. We talked about you know, guys, you

628
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: know when you're coming off the bye week, you know

629
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: who who can you get back, you know, from injury

630
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: or suspect or whatever. The Texans haven't had a suspension situation,

631
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: but there's a possibility in fact he returned today and

632
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: that was Hassan Ridgeway. Now, I didn't like seeing Sheldon

633
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: Rankins on injury report being out. Didn't like seeing that

634
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: at all.

635
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 5: Out of practice.

636
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 7: We want to be clear, we don't know.

637
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, dnp for practice today. I didn't like seeing

638
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: that because I thought Sheldon played his guts out against

639
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: the Saints and played extremely well. But you know how

640
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: I feel about some size, about size on the inside,

641
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: and Hassan Ridgeway has that. That is a large individual

642
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: who can move, who has some twitch. I was very,

643
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: very happy to see Hassan Ridgeway back at practice today.

644
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, with a calf.

645
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: He's out, well he's been out, but he's limited today

646
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 2: with a calf. You have two more days of practice.

647
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 2: What does doctor VanderMeer think of this? I need pretty

648
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: promising unless he aggravates that and calves are tricky. Ye

649
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 2: We've talked about this many times. It's a tricky injury.

650
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: Got to be very careful with this. So let's hope

651
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: that he feels really good after practice and the same

652
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: thing tomorrow the next day, and he can go.

653
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 4: Because if Rankins can't go, you know, I don't like

654
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 4: it at all.

655
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 2: If either guy, if both guys can't go, I mean,

656
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 2: that's just stinks for your run defense. And you have

657
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 2: an opportunity here to really make some hay with that

658
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: front seven, that front six seven that you want to

659
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 2: throw at them. So let's hope that at least one

660
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 2: of those two players can go, and obviously my league

661
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: and the rest of them, but you're right, if you

662
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: lose both of those guys, you get smaller, thinner.

663
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 7: It's just not as good.

664
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 3: We know that.

665
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 2: We know it's a rotation anyway, numerous players cycle in there.

666
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 2: But I love seeing Ridgeway available at practice today, at

667
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: least on a limited basis as well.

668
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: You know, Marcus to start diving into the Panthers over

669
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: the last couple of days. I do an article and

670
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: it'll post probably in the morning, and you guys could

671
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: check it out. I post my keys in an article

672
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: called Know Your Phone, and as I was going through

673
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: one of the things that I do in an article

674
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: is I go through the starting lineups and who are

675
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: the key players for offense and defense. Mark, this is

676
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: the hardest I've ever had to do. I don't know

677
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: how long I've been doing this article. It's the hardest

678
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: I've ever had to do to try and figure out

679
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: who's starting and who's playing for the Panthers due to

680
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: the injury issues that they have had at a pretty

681
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: much every trench position offense and defense. I mean trying

682
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: to figure out, Okay, Derek Brown, Bryan Burns count on it,

683
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: but you know they've been banged up at other spots.

684
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: Linebacker Frankie Louvo has got a hip injury, but he's

685
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: playing through it. The secondary is completely banged up. I mean,

686
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: it is a it's a mess. They got vom Bell

687
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: back for a little bit, Xavier Woods back for a

688
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: little bit, but last week they played. They had a

689
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: practice squad call up with Hys Farley, who we have

690
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: played a number of times over the years with the

691
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: Colts and others. He was starting for the Panthers last

692
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: week against the Miami Dolphins, so they've got injury issues.

693
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: Terrace Marshall has been told he can seek a trade

694
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: if he wants, so it was one of the hardest. Okay,

695
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: who's starting for the Panthers on Sunday, So I know

696
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to spend some work giving you the

697
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: starting lineups on Sunday because it's been tough to try

698
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: and figure out. And that's part of the reason why

699
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: I think they're owing six. So many guys have been

700
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: banged up throughout this year, it's been hard to figure

701
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: out what and how they'll look on Sunday against US.

702
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 2: They cannot sing the Blues to the Houston Texans though.

703
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 2: About injuries, right, they're kind of stayed healthy. The Texans

704
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: quarterback has stayed out there and fought through some injury

705
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: issues as well. We all know what's happened on the

706
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 2: old line. We all know what's happened with Tank Dell,

707
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 2: who's thankfully back this week. Johnny, that's such a game

708
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 2: changer as well, been out of the bye, and I

709
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: think both teams, I know the injuries are an issue

710
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: with them, especially this week, but yeah, both teams coming

711
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: out of the buy, there's extra juice both sides of

712
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:01,560

778
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,359

779
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 10: like yeah at W P. Davidson. All right, So you

780
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 10: were born in Wisconsin. You went to high scho school

781
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 10: in Alabama, went to college in northern Illinois. So, like,

782
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 10: what's considered home for you, like outside of playing football, say.

783
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 11: In Mobile, Alabama, Racing Wisconsin, Phil is like home? Chicago,

784
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 11: Illinois feel like home. Been in Cali for nine years.

785
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 11: I'm not going to say I feel like home, but

786
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 11: I'm familiar with that area.

787
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 7: Bay Area, Okay, But in Houston, Texas?

788
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 10: How do you like Houston and Houston? Yeah, I would

789
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 10: think it's weird that you played your entire career with

790
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 10: one team, which is like unusual anyway in the NFL,

791
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 10: and then like your a tenure veteran, but you're almost

792
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 10: like starting all over again in a new city. Like

793
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 10: what was that whole process like for you?

794
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 7: It was new? Definitely. I had to get used to

795
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 7: the heat.

796
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 10: Was oh for sure.

797
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 12: Yeah.

798
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 11: I never get used to heats. Like I used to

799
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 11: play with it when I was young, play like in

800
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 11: the heat. But now compared to when I'm older and

801
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 11: I'm in my thirties, Like, it took it took some adjustment, took.

802
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 10: Some time because Mobile is not like as hot as Houston.

803
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 10: I would imagine thought it was it's pretty hot, but

804
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 10: not like this. Yeah, this is unseason. This was a

805
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 10: crazy summer that with all one hundred degree tempts in

806
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 10: training camp. Keep hearing about that, But I thought it

807
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 10: was hot. And I've lived here for a minute.

808
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 7: So seems like the norm here, all right.

809
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 10: I was looking at some of your old highlights, your

810
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 10: first career interception, Jay Cutler in Chicago twenty fifteen, and

811
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 10: what I loved about this play was your celebration. Do

812
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 10: you remember what you did? You did a front flip. Yeah,

813
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 10: in the moment, You're like, this is what I'm gonna do,

814
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 10: or I've been thinking about this. When I get my

815
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 10: first interception, it's going to be something gymnastics. Ye, it

816
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 10: just happened. It just organic.

817
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was I was very excited.

818
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 11: I just wanted to look kind of want as I flipped,

819
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 11: I jumped, and I was smiling and I was looking

820
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 11: at you.

821
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,160

830
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 11: I actually want to say I tore some in his

831
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 11: knee one time and he finished the game. Wow, Like,

00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 10: think I even tweeted It was one of the most

856
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 10: entertaining press conferences, like in free agency that I'd seen.

857
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 10: You were like whispering, and you were like it's like

858
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 10: you're telling everybody as secret. You were just so engaging

859
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 10: and energetic, and like I was just wondering, have you

860
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,440

Speaker 10: does that come from?

863
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,040

864
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 10: I kind of like maybe you were just born like that.

866
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, but I kind of hit it at the beginning of,

867
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 11: you know, my career and then really yeah, until I

868
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 11: just I met a few older players and you know,

869

00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 11: I wouldn't come Ba who was in Calvis in California.

881
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 11: toxic environment when I got to California, so you know,

882

Speaker 11: I was just trying to find my way.

883

905
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 11: down play, you know, he always has some type of motivation.

00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 10: You think he's tax more than you. He does talk

917
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,400

00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 10: sure who's doing you guys were both chattering a lot,

920
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,480

921
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 10: bigger talker.

922
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,600

923
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 10: Called you the apex predator.

926
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,000

927
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 10: official definition an apex predator, known as a predator, is

928
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 10: it predator at the top of a food chain without

929
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 10: a natural predator of its own. What do you think

930
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 10: about that? Ah, like you're at the top of the

931
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 10: food chain. He's like, there's nobody lunting for Jimmy Ward.

932
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 10: Jimmy Ward is the apex predator.

933
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 11: It's a few I got a few battles of a

934
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,680

935
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 11: on the hit list. Probably Digs from Buffalo Bill Okay,

936
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 11: probably a J Brown from Philadelphia.

937
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 7: I don't know if I ever play them again. Like

938
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 7: every dog has a day. So yeah, one thing about it.

Speaker 10: you come in a new team and the players voted

960

00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 7: Didn't think they was going to vote.

974
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 11: For me, because, you know, I heard a few guys

00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 7: Guys I talked to the most since there were kind

998
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:51,439
Speaker 7: of like locker maates.

999
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 10: Yeah. Do you like that sort of set up in

1000
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 10: the locker room? It's just really does that help you

1001
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 10: get to know everybody a little bit better?

1002
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 11: Not just sitting all the dbs by the DB's whole line,

1003
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 11: at the whole line, we get to talk to everybody,

1004
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 11: So I like how he did this kind of set up.

1005
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 11: That's how san Fran did you know, you got mix

1006
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 11: it up? I know one time I was on San

1007
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 11: Fran team. When I first got there, it was like

1008
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 11: defense on one side, offense on that side. Once coach

1009
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 11: Kyle and came in there, it's like, now you know what,

1010
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 11: it's just mix it up and you know, and sit

1011
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 11: everybody by somebody a different position group, and I like it.

1012
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, you start to get to know your teammates better.

1013
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 10: That's the first time I've seen it, and we've seen

1014
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 10: some coaches here, but usually that's how his offense, defense

1015
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 10: position groups together. So it's kind of interesting. You walk

1016
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 10: in and then you've got DB's next to wide receivers,

1017
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,439
Speaker 10: next to O lineman. What about on Sunday you're gonna

1018
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 10: play Bryce Young? What do you think about him? Rookie quarterbacks?

1019
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 10: Just you know what, what is that like for you?

1020
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 10: Is that different? Do you like it better facing the

1021
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 10: guy for the first time, especially a guy that's, you know,

1022
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 10: come out as such a highly talented draft pick.

1023
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 11: I've failure with. His game was raised in Alabama, so

1024
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 11: I watched Alabama football. I feel like he's a pretty

1025
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 11: good quarterback. You know, he's going to be good and

1026
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 11: continue to be good in years to come. Uh, just

1027
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:03,240
Speaker 11: got a young right now. So he makes some great throws.

1028
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 11: He kind of has a crazy quick game release, which

1029
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 11: is so crazy, a typical quick game like three step

1030
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 11: that you would normally see kind of walks out of

1031
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 11: it and throw it.

1032
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 7: It's crazy, okay, but he gets the ball out yeah,

1033
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 7: very accurate. So I like him. He has some tools.

1034
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 11: He doesn't really run. If he runs the ball, he's

1035
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 11: really looking to throw. So I really like his skill set.

1036
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 11: So I like how he sling the ball, and he

1037
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 11: got some playmakers around him. It's going to be Uh,

1038
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 11: it's gonna be an interesting game. Looking forward to playing

1039
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 11: them for the first time because I actually watching them

1040
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 11: in college.

1041
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 10: So oh okay, yeah, because Alabama connection. How about it

1042
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 10: for you for the rest of the year. You got

1043
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 10: eleven games left. I mean, this team is you know,

1044
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 10: people are talking about this team differently than they were

1045
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 10: in the offseason. Now it's you know, a very different

1046
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 10: mindset with a three and three record. What about for

1047
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 10: you personally, Like, how do you sort of maintain what

1048
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 10: this defense has been able to do through the first

1049
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 10: six games.

1050
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 11: Really just take one day and one week at a time.

1051
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 11: You know, you really can't look ahead in this game.

1052
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 11: You know, things changing his game fast, like own witness,

1053
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 11: teams said went zero to five and next thing you know,

1054
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 11: in tenth straight, I don't seen teams go eight to

1055
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 11: er and next thing you know, they just started losing

1056
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 11: and missed the playoffs.

1057
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 7: So like I was seeing so much football and so

1058
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 7: much change.

1059
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 11: Just you know in my ten years of playing NFL

1060
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 11: ball that you just you really can't get too high

1061
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 11: and you can't get too low in this game. You

1062
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 11: just gotta remain humble and just you know, continue to

1063
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 11: take you know, take it by week by week.

1089
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: men behind the mics calling the game and he's off

1090
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: for the Panthers, and you know our guy, Mark Vandermir,

1091
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: that's next the Texans All Access. We got one hour down,

1092
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: one hour left to go. Right here on a Wednesday

1093
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: edition of Texas All Access. I am John Harris football

1094
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: and a sideline reporter. And this is always one of

1095
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: my favorite segments. You know that there's a segment I

1096
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: came up with probably about eight or nine years ago,

1097
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: and I said, hey, Mark, you know me good is

1098
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: if you sat down and chopped it up kind of

1099
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: scouting reports style with the voice from the other team.

1100
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: He loved the idea and it's been great. So this

1101
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: week it's a little different in some sense because the

1102
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: two men you will hear are the play by play

1103
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: voices for Andre Ware when he does the game. Andre

1104
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 1: calls college football on Friday nights with a niche shruff,

1105
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: and then on Sundays he calls Texas Football and has

1106
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: from the beginning with Mark Vandermir and of course me

1107
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: so here we go a niche shroff with Mark Vandermire

1108
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: starting a little bit more about the Panthers, who are

1109
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: men behind the mics right here all.

1110
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 4: Right, joining us now in Texans Radio.

1111
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 2: It's a niche Shroff voice of the Carolina Panthers and

1112
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 2: also HEPN and he works with Andre Ware. So I

1113
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 2: don't know if I should be jealous or what I mean.

1114
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 2: It's like we share the same partner. We do share

1115
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 2: the same partner on the air at each how's it going,

1116
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:10,439
Speaker 2: my friend?

1117
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's very polygamous.

1118
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 4: Huh yeah, true.

1119
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 2: Before we get into the Panthers working with andre I

1120
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 2: think this is your first year doing it, So what's

1121
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 2: that like for you?

1122
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 4: Because I've been doing it for twenty two years?

1123
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 9: You know, I want to bash him, but he's great.

1124
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 9: He's great. He sees the game really well. Having played quarterback,

1125
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 9: you know, there's just an added level focus in detail

1126
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 9: that he picks up that a lot of analysts don't.

1127
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 9: So makes my job a whole heck of a lot

1128
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 9: easier when he's picking up on a lot of the

1129
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 9: little nuances, and especially when it comes to quarterback play, which,

1130
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,240
Speaker 9: as we know, that rules the roost. That's what everybody

1131
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 9: wants to hear about. And he's able to pick up

1132
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 9: a little thing that these guys can do. How that

1133
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 9: makes the difference on a micro and a macro level.

1134
00:49:58,400 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 9: So I've had a lot of fun working on.

1135
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 2: Right, Anie Sharp joining us voice of the Carolina Panthers.

1136
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 2: And before we get into it again, what about travel

1137
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 2: as voice of the Panthers between your ESPN games and

1138
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 2: the Sunday NFL stuff. You guys are doing Friday nights now,

1139
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 2: so that's really convenient. But have you had any close

1140
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 2: calls throughout your career?

1141
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 9: Well, you know, this is my second year with the Panthers,

1142
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 9: So last year I was on Saturdays and there were

1143
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 9: probably about a half dozen weekends where I'm flying out

1144
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 9: Sunday morning to a game. There were a couple of

1145
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 9: times last year, two or three occasions where I would

1146
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 9: do a seven pm game Saturday, get out plane at

1147
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 9: five am Sunday morning to do a one o'clock game

1148
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 9: on Sunday. And it's not even the sleep. It's not

1149
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 9: the lack of sleep, it's the travel anxiety, just getting

1150
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:55,760
Speaker 9: to the airport, keeping your fingers crossed that your plane

1151
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,879
Speaker 9: is going to go, and if it doesn't, that you've

1152
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 9: gotten multiple backup options to get to where you need

1153
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 9: to be. It's the anxiety of travel more than the

1154
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 9: actual travel itself.

1155
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 2: So who would fill in for you if you did

1156
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,479
Speaker 2: not make it to the Panthers broadcast booth.

1157
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 9: Well, the easy answer last year would have been Jim Zochie,

1158
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 9: who's been our long time broadcaster with the Panthers. He's

1159
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 9: usually one of the guys in the booth, and if

1160
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 9: he's not, he's always our pre and post guy. But

1161
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 9: Jim this year started as the radio voice for the

1162
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 9: East Carolina Pirates, So now he's dealing a lot of

1163
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 9: weeks with what I dealt with last year. So I

1164
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 9: guess in a perfect world, if I couldn't make it,

1165
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 9: Jim would be there. But I guess, and now you know,

1166
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 9: with Jim doing the ECU stuff as well, we probably

1167
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 9: need an option three just to be real safe.

1168
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,240
Speaker 2: And he shrop joining us voice of the Carolina Panthers.

1169
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into it here. And I want

1170
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 2: to start with Frank Reich because Frank was with the Cults.

1171
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 2: We know Frank well, long history with Houston and sports

1172
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 2: quarterbacks for the Buffalo Bills during the big comeback Game

1173
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 2: and all of that. But what's it like to be

1174
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 2: around Frank because he seems like a super likable head coach.

1175
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 9: No doubt, And I'm about to go interview him here

1176
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 9: in about forty five minutes or so. Even when things

1177
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 9: aren't going well, he treats you with class and respect.

1178
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 9: And again I know everybody should doesn't always work like that.

1179
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 9: When the team is losing, he answers every question. I've

1180
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 9: never really seen, you know, you never really see him

1181
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 9: lose his calm, and especially with the way things have

1182
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,240
Speaker 9: gone this first part of the season, I think that's important.

1183
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 9: So he's been a joy to deal with. He's again,

1184
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 9: just a great human being. I'll tell you his story.

1185
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,919
Speaker 9: A couple of weeks ago, we're down in Miami getting

1186
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 9: ready to play the Dolphins. So nine am at the

1187
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 9: team hotel, I head down to the quarterbacks room to

1188
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 9: go do my Sunday morning pregame interview with him, and

1189
00:52:55,760 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 9: now he's grandpa. He's facetiming his grandchildren. And you know,

1190
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 9: I think sometimes in this business, when you're just watching

1191
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 9: and you just see these people on TV, it's often

1192
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 9: this curated version or version you curate for yourself of

1193
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 9: these folks, And as you know, when you're in the building,

1194
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,320
Speaker 9: when you're around them, you get to see them as people.

1195
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 9: And I just would hope that you know, our fans

1196
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 9: and fans everywhere when you have a player, when you

1197
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 9: have a coach who you know might be in the

1198
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 9: spotlight when things aren't going too well, you remember that

1199
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 9: component that, yes, these are people just like you and me,

1200
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 9: and you know there's the same struggle that human beings

1201
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 9: deal with, doesn't matter how high profile you are.

1202
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 2: Anie Sharp joining us voice of the Carolina Panthers. So

1203
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 2: we all see the record a niche, But tell me

1204
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 2: what the Panthers do well that they need to do

1205
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,359
Speaker 2: more of. What can they sort of hang their hat

1206
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 2: on and say, we're good at this and we need

1207
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 2: to do a whole lot more of it to get

1208
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 2: these wins that we're looking for.

1209
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, the reality right now is you know those wins

1210
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 9: and what they do well, you got to search for them.

1211
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 9: They have done things well at times. The problem has

1212
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 9: been consistency, and you'll watch games and you'll say, wow,

1213
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 9: that was a really good opening series or two. They

1214
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 9: generally script the first fifteen plays and then the offense

1215
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 9: fizzles out. You saw that against Miami when they led

1216
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,399
Speaker 9: the Dolphins fourteen nothing on the road. The run game,

1217
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 9: you know week one against Atlanta, they were able to

1218
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 9: run the ball. They ran it well at times against

1219
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 9: Miami and then in other games it's non existent. Injuries

1220
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 9: have been a part of it. You know, they're banged up,

1221
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 9: you know, down three four guys in the secondary. Right now,

1222
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,760
Speaker 9: they're starting middle linebacker who you know is the longest

1223
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 9: tenured positional player on this team. He's out for the season,

1224
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 9: So that's part of it. But to be honest, they

1225
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 9: have not found consistency in any one area this season.

1226
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 4: That's tough, all right.

1227
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 2: So Bryce Young because we know all about him pre

1228
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 2: draft Texans. Where the Panthers gonna take Young, where they

1229
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 2: gonna take Stroud, maybe even Richardson, who knows. We knew

1230
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 2: it was gonna be Young after a while in this

1231
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 2: pre draft process, and so I think everybody felt like

1232
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 2: they had a sense of him as a terrific guy,

1233
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 2: great quarterback at Alabama. What are you see in so

1234
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 2: far as a professional quarterback. We've seen some of the

1235
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 2: good plays, completion percentage pretty good. What do you see

1236
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 2: in a niche He is the least.

1237
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 9: Of their concerns, and I know the quarterback often gets

1238
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,800
Speaker 9: the blame when things aren't going well. To me, he

1239
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 9: is having a normal rookie season. And the way CJ.

1240
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 9: Stroud has played. I think CJ. Stroud is having the

1241
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 9: type of rookie season that Panthers fan saw a decade

1242
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 9: ago with Cam Newton, and that warps your perception of

1243
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 9: Bryce Young. If you're a Panthers fan, well, hey, why

1244
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 9: didn't we take this guy? Because he's putting up these

1245
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 9: eye popping numbers. The reality is this is a long process.

1246
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,839
Speaker 9: Bryce Young processes, well, he's getting better. You can see

1247
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,320
Speaker 9: the progression as he made mistakes, as he had his

1248
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 9: rookie moments. Absolutely, but this guy is getting better. He's progressing.

1249
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 9: They have other issues. They've been down two guards on

1250
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 9: the offensive line, and he's been under duress quite a bit.

1251
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,320
Speaker 9: They haven't had a consistent running game, and again some

1252
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 9: of that points to the injuries and the shuffling that

1253
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 9: they've had up front. Outside of Adam Feeln, there has

1254
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:27,040
Speaker 9: been no consistent playmaker in the receiving game. So given

1255
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 9: what he's had to deal with in these first six games,

1256
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 9: I think Bryce Young has acquitted himself pretty good. And

1257
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 9: I'll tell you this, there is a game coming. I

1258
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 9: don't know if it'll be this weekend or next weekend.

1259
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:42,439
Speaker 9: There's a game coming where Bryce Young is going to Wow,

1260
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 9: people and folks are gonna sit back and go WHOA. Okay,

1261
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,439
Speaker 9: now we know why he was the pick.

1262
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 2: Interesting, all right, what about the running game? I see

1263
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 2: some carries from Laviska Channault or old Buddy with the

1264
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 2: Jaguars obviously chew behind. What are you seeing here? I

1265
00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 2: know Sanders has had some injury issues.

1266
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 9: Cuba Hubbard's been the best running back on this team

1267
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 9: through six games. Unequivocally. Miles Sanders was the splashy free

1268
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 9: agent signing, and he's had a couple of costly fumbles,

1269
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:15,280
Speaker 9: He's had some injuries. He just is not really produced

1270
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 9: I think the way they thought he would. And if

1271
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 9: Miles Sanders is healthy on Sunday, I would still expect

1272
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 9: Cuba Hubbard to get at least half the carries. Ce

1273
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 9: bazarned that much. And Lamiskus Chnalt is one of these

1274
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 9: guys who is a playmaker. Get him the ball in space,

1275
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 9: find different ways to get him the football. They're using

1276
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 9: him now almost as the third running back in his

1277
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 9: hybrid wide receiver running back role. You'll see him in

1278
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 9: orbit motion a ton. You'll see him catch a lot

1279
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 9: of these tunnel and bubble screens. He's not gonna run

1280
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 9: a ton of long routes, but he'll line up in

1281
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 9: the backfield and he'll carry the ball. And he's a big, physical,

1282
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 9: wrecking ball who can get yards after contact and yards

1283
00:57:58,160 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 9: before contact.

1284
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 4: Joining his voice with the Carolina Panthers.

1285
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 2: Give me a Panther or two who doesn't get publicity

1286
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,959
Speaker 2: really or enough of it, who's doing some things well

1287
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 2: that you'd like to point out right now.

1288
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's a couple. One is Derek Brown on the

1289
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 9: defensive line. This guy, really, since the start of last year,

1290
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 9: has been an absolute stud. He's a thirty year guy

1291
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 9: out of Auburn, and he is a guy who's really

1292
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 9: a game wrecker. Defensively, He's blown up plays. I think

1293
00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 9: two or three weeks into the season he was the

1294
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 9: Panthers leading tackler. And again, this guy plays on the

1295
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 9: defensive line in a three to four front. So Derek

1296
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 9: Brown is somebody who can wreck a play as soon

1297
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 9: as it's snapped. He's explosive. I don't want to compare

1298
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 9: him to Aaron Donald because there's not another Aaron Donald,

1299
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 9: but he is disruptive in the way Aaron Donald can

1300
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 9: disrupt the play right at the point of attack. And

1301
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 9: then Frankie Luvu at linebacker. Again, this was a hit

1302
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 9: and gym they picked up a few years ago the Jets.

1303
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 9: They thought he could be a bit player, a special teamer,

1304
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 9: and he has really come on. Last year stepped into

1305
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 9: a starting role for the first time, and if you

1306
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 9: look at his numbers, it was right up there with

1307
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 9: any All Pro Pro Bowl caliber linebacker. He can rush

1308
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 9: the passer, he makes plays in space, he can play

1309
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 9: in coverage and pick off passes. He's disrupted too, So

1310
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 9: those guys, with all the injuries that they've had, have

1311
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 9: really carried this defense. And then the third guy who

1312
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 9: you might see on Sunday we'll find out on Wednesday

1313
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 9: you might see on Sunday is j. C. Horn. He

1314
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:36,919
Speaker 9: was their first round pick a couple of years ago.

1315
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 9: When he's healthy, and health has been a big problem

1316
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 9: with him in his two plus seasons in the league.

1317
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 9: He's a lockdown corner who changes the calculus defensively.

1318
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw him here a couple of years ago

1319
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 2: on a Thursday night against the Houston Texans. I remember

1320
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 2: that a couple more for you, Charlotte, as a sports toown,

1321
00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 2: define it for me what characterizes Charlotte as sports town.

1322
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 9: Oh that's a great question. You know, the honest answer

1323
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 9: would probably be thirsty. The Hornets in their thirty plus

1324
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 9: year existence have never even been to a conference finals,

1325
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 9: let alone an NBA finals. Panthers have been to two

1326
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 9: Super Bowls, they have not won a Super Bowl, and

1327
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 9: they have not had back to back seasons with a

1328
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 9: winning record. And when you have a city of transplants where,

1329
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 9: let's be honest, nobody's grandfather grew up a Panthers fan,

1330
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 9: there is a little bit of missionary work to be

1331
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 9: done by these teams. And you have to find a

1332
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 9: way not just to you know, engage fans of other

1333
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 9: teams that have moved here, but also produced a consistent winner,

1334
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 9: so you turn them into loyalists and die hard And

1335
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 9: it just has not happened yet. We have a soccer

1336
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 9: team in MLS, team Charlotte FC, and I was at

1337
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 9: the game on Saturday. They were playing Inner Miami. MESSI

1338
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 9: was here. It was as electric as Bank of America

1339
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 9: Stadium has been. They played the same building where you'll

1340
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 9: be Sunday with the Panthers playing, and somehow Charlotte FC

1341
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 9: won the game. Punch their ticket in the playoffs, and

1342
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 9: the soccer team has carried a lot of positive momentum

1343
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 9: this season. But I think this town as a sports town,

1344
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 9: it's thirsty. They're waiting for a consistent winner. They want

1345
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 9: it really bad. You got a generation of thirty five

1346
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 9: and younger who are die hards, who did grow up

1347
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 9: with the Hornets and did grow up with the Panthers,

1348
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 9: and they're thirsty and.

1349
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:44,439
Speaker 2: Each one more Syracuse you went there. I've always said

1350
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 2: this is like Johns Hopkins for doctors, Harvard Law for lawyers,

1351
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 2: Syracuse for broadcasters. It's unbelievable. So give me your favorite

1352
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 2: or two favorites you have who have been to Syracuse

1353
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 2: broadcasters that you look up to, admire, you really like

1354
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 2: their work.

1355
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's three of them. One Bob Costas, who I

1356
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 9: just think is probably the best sportscaster of our generation.

1357
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 9: Iron Eagle, who was the guy I grew up listening to.

1358
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 9: He would do the Jets on the radio. I've gotten

1359
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 9: to know him, especially in the last few years through

1360
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 9: the NFL circuit. His son's doing an incredible job on

1361
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 9: the NBC games, Uh Big ten package. Iron's a guy

1362
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 9: I've long admired. And then the third guy was Len Burman.

1363
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 9: Len was the Channel four WNBC local news sportscaster in

1364
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 9: New York where I grew up, and we would watch

1365
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 9: him religiously and he almost became like Uncle Len in

1366
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 9: our household. Six pm every weeknight, we were at the

1367
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 9: TV back before the Internet and Twitter dot com. That's

1368
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 9: how we would catch our local sports news.

1369
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 2: You're not even old enough to know Len Berman. My gosh,

1370
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 2: that's amazing. Good stuff, and East thanks so much for

1371
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 2: joining us. We look for to senior Sunday.

1372
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm looking forward to connecting with you too. Take

1373
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 9: care of all right.

1374
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: Great stuff from the two men who will call the

1375
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: game for their respective organizations, and he's shruped for the

1376
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers and our own Mark Van dam here. Now,

1377
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: you guys will have a big hand in Sunday.

1378
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 3: C J.

1379
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 1: Stroud and Demiko Ryans. We did a little Texans Audio

1380
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 1: jukebox next right here in Texans All Access. What's up, everybody,

1381
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Wednesday, this year of Texans All Access.

1382
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harrison playing on a sideline reporter.

1383
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 1: It's time for a little Texans Audio jupe BIXX and

1384
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna start with Demiko Ryans or actually here from

1385
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 1: two people in the segment, Demiko Ryans and CJ. Stroud. Well,

1386
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 1: here is Demiko Ryans talking about what makes CJ. Stroud special,

1387
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 1: what has he liked about him? Here's what we have

1388
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: to say. It is presser today.

1389
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 12: Why CJ has success, Think it starts with his mental preparation, right,

1390
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 12: He's really dedicated to the process of studying right, making

1391
01:03:57,560 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 12: sure he's prepared when he goes into games. And he's

1392
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 12: also has success because the guys around him have all

1393
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 12: jill well together, they play well together. So it just

1394
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 12: starts with the mental preparation with him, which he's off

1395
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 12: the charge.

1396
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 1: One of the guys who has been instrumental for CJ.

1397
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: Stroud is Dalton Schultz. Here's coach talking about the impact

1398
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 1: of Dalton for his offense and what he's seen from

1399
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 1: Dalton this year with Dalton has been great.

1400
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 12: You know, seeing him, you know, come alive in the

1401
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 12: passing game and really create some explosive plays for us.

1402
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 12: There you see the mismatch that he has from the

1403
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 12: tight end position. It's the reason why we wanted to

1404
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 12: get Dalton here and knowing you know, how effective he

1405
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 12: can be in the past game. So it's great to

1406
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 12: see him showing up that way and the way he's finishing.

1407
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 12: So very pleased with Dalton and the things that he's

1408
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 12: done over the past several weeks, and just encouraged to

1409
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 12: see him continue to get better.

1410
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 1: First three games of the year, Dalton Schultz seven catches,

1411
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 1: the last three three touchdowns. Won in each of the

1412
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: last three games against the Steelers, the Falcon and then

1413
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: against the New Orleans Saints. He has been absolutely fantastic.

1414
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 1: All Right, it's flip it over to the Carolina Panthers

1415
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 1: and Bryce Young. Obviously, as we talked to Nick earlier,

1416
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of work done on these quarterbacks in

1417
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: the draft, including Carolina signal caller who went at number one,

1418
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 1: Bryce Young. Here's what coach is seen from Bryce thus

1419
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:21,959
Speaker 1: far in twenty twenty three, right.

1420
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 12: Chris Bryce with where what has he improved and where

1421
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 12: has he gotten better?

1422
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: Thinking?

1423
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 12: You see the same guy from college with Bryce. You

1424
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 12: see a guy who's very smart when it comes to

1425
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 12: going through the progressions, making the proper reads, proper decisions

1426
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 12: with the football. You see the accuracy jumps off the

1427
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,920
Speaker 12: tape right, and he's very decisive where he goes with

1428
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,440
Speaker 12: the ball in his own coverage. Man cut really doesn't matter, right.

1429
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 12: The accuracy, the decision making is really really great to see.

1430
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:53,320
Speaker 12: He's done a really good job there.

1431
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: Now, as we started this segment, we started talking about CJ.

1432
01:05:56,800 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: Stroud and Dalton Schultz. Those two not gonna say one's

1433
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, the number one wide receiving threat or receiving

1434
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 1: threat for uh, she just try because he's hit all

1435
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: of them. Tank Tell's lead team receptions one game. Robert

1436
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 1: Woods's lead the team reception in the game. Nico Collins

1437
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: has led of receptions in the game. Don'ton Schultz has

1438
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: led receptions in the game. Not the same with Carolina.

1439
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 1: It has been one go to guy every single week.

1440
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 1: And it's a guy who's resurrecting his career the last

1441
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: two years in Minnesota sixty seven and seventy catches respectively.

1442
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 1: He's got forty nine through six games. That's Adam thielin

1443
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Man. Here's coach talking about what makes Dealing

1444
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: tough to cover.

1445
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,439
Speaker 12: Dealing has as successes because he's he's a slippery route

1446
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 12: runner and they use him all over the field. He'll

1447
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 12: line at multiple spots, most of them in different areas,

1448
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 12: and they find a way to get him the ball

1449
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 12: right and it's whether it's in stack concepts or bunch

1450
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 12: of concepts. They do a good job of moving them

1451
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 12: around right where he's not on the line of scrimage

1452
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 12: where guys are able to get hands on him, so

1453
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 12: he has a lot of free access where he's able

1454
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 12: to utilize his slippery route running ability. Very smart veteran

1455
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 12: player who you can see him and Bryce, you know,

1456
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 12: have that connection where Bryce could trust him a lot,

1457
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 12: goes to him with the ball a lot, and you

1458
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 12: know he's proven that he can make those plays for

1459
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 12: him and they made a ton of big, explosive plays.

1460
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 1: There's always a lot of discussion as it pertains to

1461
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 1: the bye week, and you hear every coach say, hey,

1462
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: we're going to self scout, We're going to self scout,

1463
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 1: and then you come out of there and you go, okay,

1464
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 1: well what did you learn? And of course coach was asked, okay,

1465
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 1: really is self scout worthy? I mean, do you get

1466
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 1: anything out of it? What did you learn about your

1467
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 1: team that really can be improved upon? Well, coach is

1468
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 1: a little incredulous to that. He's like, man, we can't

1469
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: improve on a lot.

1470
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 12: Well, we can improve in a lot of areas. A

1471
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 12: lot of things we can improve on. I think it

1472
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 12: starts just first down. First of all, we've we got

1473
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:58,400
Speaker 12: to get better defensively. Right of winning first down, offensively,

1474
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 12: we have to be better first down. A lot of

1475
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 12: negative plays, So I would like to see us improve

1476
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 12: our first down efficiency and overall defensively. On third down,

1477
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 12: we have to find a way to get stops and

1478
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:09,920
Speaker 12: get off the field as well. So it's a big

1479
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 12: challenge this week because Carolina's done a really great job

1480
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 12: over the past four weeks of being a top team

1481
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 12: in this league in third down, So we have our

1482
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 12: handsful there, but I would love to see us improve

1483
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 12: in those areas.

1484
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 1: I heard John McClain on earlier this week. I think

1485
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:25,600
Speaker 1: it was on in the I think it was on

1486
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 1: in the Loop with Landry and John. I believe that's

1487
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 1: what it was. And one of the things that he

1488
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 1: talked about, he said, my first question is going to

1489
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 1: be how do you keep up the physicality when you

1490
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: don't get to hitting practice. And then so John McClain

1491
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 1: asked that practice that question today after practice, and I

1492
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 1: love the question because I think it's very true, and

1493
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: as I hear sometimes press conference questions, always think about,

1494
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 1: all right, how would I answer that as a head coach,

1495
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 1: And look, Dimico is gonna answer it however he's going

1496
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: to answer it. But the first thing I thought about

1497
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 1: was mindset. You have to establish that mindset and well

1498
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 1: take a listen and coaching that kind of on the

1499
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 1: same plane on this.

1500
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 12: One and with the physical mentalities on is you know,

1501
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 12: you have to It starts with the mindset, right, and

1502
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 12: I try to establish that each and every day, whether

1503
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 12: it's me just showing a clip of a violent clip

1504
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:16,160
Speaker 12: of a head or violent shad getting off of blox,

1505
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,799
Speaker 12: it starts with that mindset and continuing to see that picture.

1506
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 12: Although we can't do it, we can't physically, you know,

1507
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 12: go as hard and practice now as are in the season,

1508
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 12: I think you can. I continuously remind the guys of

1509
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:29,759
Speaker 12: what it should look like when I see great clips

1510
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 12: from other teams doing it, always trying to show our

1511
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 12: guys and highlight that to make sure that.

1512
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:36,639
Speaker 3: This is the style of football I want to see

1513
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 3: the Texans play.

1514
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 1: One of the things we want to see the Texas

1515
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 1: do well is rush the quarterback. I think we've been

1516
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 1: looking for that, and in Houston, we've had guys that

1517
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: could get there. Mario Williams could get there, Connor Borrow

1518
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: was able to get there, some guy named JJ Watt,

1519
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 1: Gidevion Clowney, Merciless. You know, We've got a lot of

1520
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,760
Speaker 1: guys that can rush the quarterback and come up with sacks.

1521
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: So I think Houston fans really like seeing those sacks.

1522
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the the Boson break defense. I

1523
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 1: mean sacks all over the place. So sacks are fun.

1524
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: But pass rush pressure, consistent pressure, all that kind of stuff,

1525
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 1: those are things that you need to have on a defense.

1526
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 1: So coach was asked about his thoughts of the pass

1527
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 1: rush thus far with our pass rush.

1528
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 12: Think we can improve this when it comes to the

1529
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 12: execution of what we're asking guys to do, and all

1530
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:27,799
Speaker 12: the guys collectively right for guys rushing, that's one always

1531
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 12: say that, But it takes all four guys being tied

1532
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 12: in together and running our stunts our games. It's just

1533
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 12: everybody being on the same page, bean dialed in, with

1534
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 12: the proper footwork being exactly where they're supposed to be.

1535
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:41,759
Speaker 12: That's when the sacks will come. That's when the pressures

1536
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 12: will come. So it's us just executing it better and

1537
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 12: that'll get better as we continue to go throughout the season.

1538
01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:49,719
Speaker 1: One of the things I've often asked about from GM's

1539
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 1: head coaches in the building, we always talked about the

1540
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 1: information that they're able to get. They can get so

1541
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 1: much information on players, on units, on teams, on their

1542
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 1: own team, on just everything you could possibly want, and

1543
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 1: sometimes it just gets to be too much. You want

1544
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: the right information, and sometimes the right information is right

1545
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:12,320
Speaker 1: in front of you as you're watching a game. You

1546
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 1: can look at it and go, I know what we

1547
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 1: can do against this team, or boy, this guy is

1548
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 1: really good.

1549
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:17,600
Speaker 3: We need well, the.

1550
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 1: Numbers don't say this, The numbers say that. Well, sometimes

1551
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 1: the numbers lie. Sometimes they really do. And even though

1552
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: we've come up with all these advanced metrics and all

1553
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: these numbers and all that, sometimes it's all right there

1554
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:32,000
Speaker 1: for you in black and white, as in the game,

1555
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:33,599
Speaker 1: right in front of you. I guess it's in color now,

1556
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 1: but you get the point. The game sometimes tells you

1557
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:39,519
Speaker 1: all you need to know. So when coaches asked about

1558
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 1: how does it use all these advanced analytics and stats

1559
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:44,600
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. The coach had a

1560
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 1: pretty interesting answer to a listen.

1561
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 12: When it comes to those stats or devis sometimes I

1562
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 12: don't know what most of that stuff means.

1563
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 9: Right for me, is.

1564
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 1: What I'm looking to watch it.

1565
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 12: I mean watching We used to watch and study the film,

1566
01:11:57,160 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 12: right and schematically, Right, what causes this team issues and

1567
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 12: we'll try to make sure it ties in. If it's

1568
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 12: something that ties in what we do schematically, we'll try

1569
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:10,639
Speaker 12: to implement that to cause our opponent as many problems

1570
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 12: as possible. Right, It's a lot of different numbers out there.

1571
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 12: You can dial up stats a lot of different ways, right,

1572
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:18,760
Speaker 12: But when the ball is kicked off on Sunday, like,

1573
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 12: are you bringing it physically and are you operating with

1574
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 12: precision offense, defense, special teams?

1575
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 1: And are eleven guys playing together?

1576
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:27,559
Speaker 3: That's what truly matters.

1577
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 1: Amen. All the numbers in the world ain't gonna get

1578
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 1: you there if you're not playing physicality, playing hard, all

1579
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Again, process leads you to the

1580
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,519
Speaker 1: proper result. If your process is good and you're playing

1581
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 1: hard and you're physical and all those kind of things,

1582
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna end up getting the numbers. Anyways where you

1583
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 1: want it to be. Now, speaking of numbers, I know

1584
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people have asked about the running game

1585
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 1: and in particular the running backs, Devin Singletary and Damian Pierce.

1586
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 1: Here's coach talking about the mix.

1587
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 12: Of the two going forward with the running game. I

1588
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 12: feel like just having a complement of boat backs. I

1589
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 12: feel like Devin, you know, and and DP. They did

1590
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 12: a really good job of getting what they've had right,

1591
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 12: what was available, They took it, they ran the ball hard,

1592
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 12: they finished the runs, and I think just having that

1593
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 12: complement of both guys, it all starts, of course on

1594
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 12: the offensive line. Thought they've done a really good job

1595
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:20,640
Speaker 12: of blocking it, and guys ran the ball hard. They

1596
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 12: ran the ball well, and we were affected that way,

1597
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 12: and we have to continue to improve in that run

1598
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 12: game and as as much as we can, right, And

1599
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:30,360
Speaker 12: that's where we want to see ourselves improve in this

1600
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:31,719
Speaker 12: next game and move forward.

1601
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 1: No question, we want to see that from the running game.

1602
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 1: We want to see it from the entire team, but

1603
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 1: we want to see the continued progress of one CJ

1604
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 1: Stroud and we CJ went to the mic and you

1605
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,639
Speaker 1: know exactly what he was going to be asked about

1606
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 1: his good friend Bryce young Is on the other side.

1607
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 1: They would pick one or two in the twenty twenty

1608
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:51,679
Speaker 1: three draft, So let's get it out of the way. CJ.

1609
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 1: Your thoughts about Bryce and meeting him in this game.

1610
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:58,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my Oh shoot, that's my brother.

1611
01:13:58,840 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 9: Man.

1612
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 13: Somebody have a lot of respect for known him since

1613
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:06,160
Speaker 13: like middle school, got really close probably after high school,

1614
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 13: and always rooting for him.

1615
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:11,639
Speaker 3: I know he's always rooting for me, So I don't

1616
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:12,680
Speaker 3: even think we were friends at the time.

1617
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 13: But we played each other in the seventh grade or

1618
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 13: the eighth grade, one of the two, and they killed

1619
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 13: us like terribly. Like uh, he played for the AI Ducks.

1620
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 13: I played for the Pomona Valley Steelers and they put

1621
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 13: it to us. And I remember we played in the

1622
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 13: rain and he had a really good game. I played terrible.

1623
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 13: So it'll be I think our second time playing each other,

1624
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 13: I believe. And we played each other a couple of

1625
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 13: times seven on seven in high school, so yeah, I

1626
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 13: think that was the first time we met.

1627
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:43,240
Speaker 3: It's cool, It is really cool.

1628
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 13: It's a blessing to just know that we're from the

1629
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 13: same area, grew up knowing each other, and then our

1630
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 13: parents know each other. Our moms are really close, our

1631
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 13: dads know each other. And it's cool just to see somebody,

1632
01:14:56,560 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 13: uh as their journey has gone from high school to

1633
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:02,759
Speaker 13: college and now into the league. And it's a blessing

1634
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 13: to have a brother like that to go through the

1635
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 13: same type of struggle, the same the same type of

1636
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,200
Speaker 13: pressures and things like that. So we talk a lot

1637
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 13: about that stuff in the off season and things like that.

1638
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 13: So it's a blessing to have somebody like that in

1639
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 13: my life. Yeah, that's a great question. We hoop all

1640
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 13: the time, Rice to somebody that like our because we

1641
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 13: go with our quarterback training.

1642
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:26,639
Speaker 3: We train with the same people on the off season.

1643
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 13: So our trainers tell us not to guard each other

1644
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 13: because we like get too competitive because it gets crazy.

1645
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:35,320
Speaker 13: He'll get me a day on the day, I'll get

1646
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:37,599
Speaker 13: him on the next uh. So it's very like back

1647
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:39,720
Speaker 13: and forth. So now he can hoop though for sure.

1648
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 1: One of the things about being successful in this league

1649
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 1: is you will be pulled in a lot of different directions.

1650
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 1: You're on busting with the boys, you're on college game day.

1651
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: How do you stay level ahead? And I think CJ

1652
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 1: had a great response to that today.

1653
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 3: I really don't think about him much.

1654
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 13: Yeah, I just try to stay and kill on to

1655
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 13: the next But you have to celebrate those small victories

1656
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 13: and those things because I do work hard and on

1657
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:05,600
Speaker 13: certain things like that, but it's never on like the

1658
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 13: front of my mind. Actually, Dylan Thompson or player development guy,

1659
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:13,120
Speaker 13: does a really good job of just he sends me

1660
01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:16,760
Speaker 13: like scriptures, He send me like certain sermons and like

1661
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 13: little quotes to like always keep you level headed. So

1662
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:21,600
Speaker 13: he helped me out a lot with stuff like that.

1663
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 13: So I'll try not to think about it too much,

1664
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 13: but at the same time be grateful for it.

1665
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 1: Obviously, the Texans weren't to buy this past week, and

1666
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:31,639
Speaker 1: a lot of us were home watching college football. Well,

1667
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 1: CJ was in the shoot at his former home watching

1668
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 1: college football, but he was also asked to be the

1669
01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 1: guest picker on game day and he did it to

1670
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:45,840
Speaker 1: Rave Reviews. Here's his sort of measured response as it

1671
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:48,559
Speaker 1: pertained to being on college game day and being back

1672
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 1: in Columbus.

1673
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 3: It was cool.

1674
01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 13: I had a good time just being back up there

1675
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:57,680
Speaker 13: in Columbus with some teammates and being on set with Kirkhanam,

1676
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,599
Speaker 13: and I think I was on my first time doing

1677
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 13: like a live analyzation of like what's going on in

1678
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:08,880
Speaker 13: those games and trying to analyze those and I think

1679
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 13: I try to do my best and just try to

1680
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 13: get some insight on like what it is to be

1681
01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,120
Speaker 13: the quarterback of that team going against the other team

1682
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:16,559
Speaker 13: or whatever.

1683
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 3: So it was a good time.

1684
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 1: That's hard to imagine CJ. Stroud having to improve on anything,

1685
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: especially over the first six games of the year, but

1686
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 1: knowing the player that he is and how he goes

1687
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 1: about things, you knew that they were gonna be some

1688
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 1: things that he's gonna want to improve upon. So let's

1689
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 1: hear it from him, ce Jake, what do you want

1690
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 1: to improve up on? What do you think you can

1691
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:37,720
Speaker 1: improve upon as you go through these final eleven games

1692
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 1: this season.

1693
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:42,720
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a lot of things to improve on, a

1694
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 13: lot personally, a lot as a team, a lot of

1695
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 13: offensive defense, special teams. Offensively, we want to get better

1696
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 13: in the rezone and third down and better at that

1697
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:56,720
Speaker 13: all around, and even sometimes even working on getting being

1698
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 13: better on third down is not getting to that and

1699
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:02,799
Speaker 13: just finishing drives in. So that's definitely at the forefront,

1700
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 13: and uh me personally just being better with my eyes

1701
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 13: and and and keep my eyes down on the field,

1702
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 13: not looking at the rush and getting through my progressions better.

1703
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 3: Things like that.

1704
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 13: So all things that can be fixed, which is a

1705
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 13: good thing. And like you said, I just want to

1706
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:19,720
Speaker 13: keep them on winter rolling and keep that swider that

1707
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 13: we're playing with. So does one some things that we

1708
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:23,240
Speaker 13: want to keep as well.

1709

01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 9: What is that?

1729
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 8: Well? Whitey stands it's w I I T Y, which

1730
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 8: stands for what if I told you?

1731
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 9: Oh?

1732
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, all right, we're gonna play Whitey. Yeah yeah,

1733
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:38,559
Speaker 8: I saw it. We're witty. But it's like there's two eyes.

1734
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 8: You need two eyes to t's instead of two eyes

1735
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:43,640
Speaker 8: for witty. But nonetheless, what if I told you and

1736
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 8: then we're also gonna have an under the radar textan

1737
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:51,640
Speaker 8: to watch against the Panthers, And then we're gonna spin

1738
01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 8: the wheel and we might have something fun. We might not,

1739
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 8: but we're definitely playing Whitey and under the radar. And

1740
01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 8: so let's start there, John, what if I told you

1741
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 8: before this season started the following things. What if I

1742
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,559
Speaker 8: told you the Texans would lose their first two games,

1743
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 8: both by double digits and by a combined score fifty

1744
01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:15,880
Speaker 8: six to twenty nine. What if I also told you

1745
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 8: that when they played the Jaguars they were going to

1746
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:22,800
Speaker 8: give up four hundred four yards of total offense. What

1747
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 8: if I told you that Damian Pierce through six games

1748
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 8: was going to average two point nine yards per carry,

1749
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:33,879
Speaker 8: and the offense as a whole was only an average

1750
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 8: three point two yards of carry. And John, to cap

1751
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 8: things off, what if I told you that in six

1752
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 8: games this new fangled defense would have just nine sacks?

1753
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 8: How confident would you be about this Texan season and

1754
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:50,439
Speaker 8: the record?

1755
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:53,519
Speaker 3: What?

1756
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:54,559
Speaker 7: Jeez?

1757
01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think you know the sack one.

1758
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:01,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't lose a lot of sleepover

1759
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:05,759
Speaker 1: not getting sacks for some reason. I just don't. I'd

1760
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 1: like to know the pressure rate, and I think a

1761
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 1: pressure rate has been pretty good. The lack of a

1762
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 1: running game would have been worrisome for me. I would

1763
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 1: have I would have thought, oh boy, this is not

1764
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:21,120
Speaker 1: trending in a good direction. Now. I also would have

1765
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 1: noticed that all those things you told me had nothing

1766
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:26,760
Speaker 1: to do with CJ. Shroud, So I would wonder at

1767
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: that point, Okay, what has CJ been doing? How has

1768
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 1: he been progressing? And I think we all know that

1769
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 1: CJ is definitely progressing and progressing in a positive manner.

1770
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:38,280
Speaker 1: And by the way, Drew, I don't know. I know

1771
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 1: you were busy over the weekend, so I don't know

1772
01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 1: if you got to see any kind of snippets or

1773
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:46,360
Speaker 1: highlights of CJ doing good college game. He was phenomenally good.

1774
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: I mean he was really really good.

1775
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 8: I was just like, Wow, this guy unsurprising, unsurprising exactly.

1776
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:57,639
Speaker 1: I think the only thing was surprising was how good

1777
01:21:58,120 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 1: and even some of the things that he went into

1778
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:03,640
Speaker 1: it was. I just am fascinated by by CJ and

1779
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 1: what he's done and how he's become an ambassador of

1780
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 1: the city of h Town. And I loved how Ohio

1781
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 1: State players responded to him when he was back. I

1782
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:14,599
Speaker 1: mean they were they were just so glad to see him.

1783
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: I think that's that says something. But I think if

1784
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 1: you would give me those particular what if I had

1785
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:24,640
Speaker 1: told you, I would have then asked, Okay, what are

1786
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 1: we doing in third on third downs? What are we

1787
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:29,799
Speaker 1: doing in the red zone? And what's our turnover margin?

1788
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:32,800
Speaker 1: And I stressed the turnover margin because that's something I

1789
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:36,480
Speaker 1: know that you track, and you track uh pretty significantly.

1790
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:37,240
Speaker 3: I just.

1791
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:40,800
Speaker 8: Putting the glasses up on my nose.

1792
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:44,760
Speaker 1: Gesture like I always do. Coach Prez back in the

1793
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:49,800
Speaker 1: marketsallid High School listen, listen. The that I would have asked,

1794
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:52,599
Speaker 1: I would have asked, Okay, what's the turnover margins plus

1795
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,599
Speaker 1: after this weekend? It's plus six, and that's what's second

1796
01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 1: in the league.

1797
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 8: Tied for second with about three or four other teams,

1798
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:01,479
Speaker 8: Theguires and Steelers among them.

1799
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:07,479
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, here's the thing that stands out, Drew. I

1800
01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:12,640
Speaker 1: went for Texans matchup for Tuesday evening. I went, I

1801
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 1: did the ultimate eleven plays on offense in the first

1802
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:17,439
Speaker 1: six games, the ull three eleven plays and defensive first

1803
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 1: six games. And what struck me was how many different

1804
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: defensive players I mentioned or brought to the forefront. Now

1805
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:31,080
Speaker 1: it's you know, offense is a little different because five

1806
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 1: offensive linemen. You're not really going to make a highlight

1807
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,640
Speaker 1: out of five offensive lineman for the most part. But

1808
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:39,479
Speaker 1: I did not have one running play featured at all.

1809
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:42,360
Speaker 1: I did not have Damian Pierce mentioned at all. I

1810
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 1: had Devin Singletary mentioned once because of a throw that

1811
01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:48,640
Speaker 1: he made, a throw that he made, not a run

1812
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 1: that he made.

1813
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:49,400
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1814
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:53,160
Speaker 1: But what it has struck me is you can go

1815
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 1: through each player defensively and say, hey, tell me something

1816
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: about Kurt Heinis. Oh man, he really showed it in

1817
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:03,519
Speaker 1: that game. Against the Steelers, penetrating in the backfield. I

1818
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:06,160
Speaker 1: believe that a tackle for lost in that game. Khalil

1819
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:09,240
Speaker 1: Davis Man forced to fumble against Atlanta. He actually got

1820
01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:12,760
Speaker 1: himself into the ultimate eleven with that Graylen Arnold, same

1821
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,720
Speaker 1: thing fumble against Atlanta. You just name a guy you know,

1822
01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ward, My god, how many I mean, what does

1823
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:21,680
Speaker 1: he meant to this team? Jalen Peatrie all over the

1824
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 1: place after being hurt in Week one, coming back in

1825
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:27,759
Speaker 1: Week four against the Steelers, mixing up with George Pickens,

1826
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,920
Speaker 1: just setting a tone. Steven Nelson three interceptions. I mean,

1827
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 1: every single guy you just can rip through and go

1828
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:36,000
Speaker 1: that guy's made a key play. That guy's made a

1829
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:38,639
Speaker 1: big play. Did we think that Blake Cashman was gonna

1830
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: have this kind of impact to a point where I

1831
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:44,799
Speaker 1: don't want this defense to play another game without Blake Cashman.

1832
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 1: So it's just been phenomenal in some way, shape or form.

1833
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:53,040
Speaker 1: Drew to watch this defense in particular, spread the wealth

1834
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 1: of big plays, and I think big players have shown up.

1835
01:24:56,200 --> 01:24:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah it's not the sacks, but Will Anderson Junior at

1836
01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 1: John Grenard have been this off the edge, setting the

1837
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 1: edge against the run, and doing things rushing to quarterback.

1838
01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:09,439
Speaker 1: The sacks will come. The sacks will come. The better

1839
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:14,920
Speaker 1: pressure they provide all I'm sorry. The better they the

1840
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 1: better they are against the run, the more pressure they'll

1841
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:19,280
Speaker 1: be able to provide, we'll lead to more sacks. So

1842
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 1: you went on first and second down, you earn the

1843
01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 1: right to rush on third down. And that's what this

1844
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:24,800
Speaker 1: team has got to continue to do going forward.

1845
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:28,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, and you know, one of the things I listed

1846
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 8: off a bunch of negative things, but you you peeled

1847
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 8: off some positives that have counterbalanced that. And we talked

1848
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 8: about CJ. We've talked about him a lot. Another thing

1849
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:41,920
Speaker 8: we've seen quite a bit of is while the run

1850
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 8: game has struggled, we've seen a lot of explosion in

1851
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:50,080
Speaker 8: the passing game. Goodness gracious. Touchdown wise, so far this season,

1852
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:55,360
Speaker 8: you've got scoring strikes of what eighty five yards from

1853
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:58,040
Speaker 8: the beck you know, kickoff return that's that's kind of fluky,

1854
01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:00,160
Speaker 8: but you take it. You know it's there and you're

1855
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:03,280
Speaker 8: definitely gonna take it. And then you've got the touchdown

1856
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 8: to Dell at Jacksonville. That was a bomb, That was

1857
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 8: a dagger. That one went for what sixty eight passing

1858
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 8: yards at the Jags. Nico had the fifty two yarder

1859
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:18,640
Speaker 8: in the fourth quarter of the Pittsburgh game, which has

1860
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:21,479
Speaker 8: broke that thing wide open. A twenty three yarder from Dell,

1861
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 8: but you've had a lot more and you look at

1862
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:27,320
Speaker 8: the yards per reception Nico Collins, look at what he's

1863
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:32,080
Speaker 8: doing in that aspect. My goodness, that is just I mean,

1864
01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:35,360
Speaker 8: he's going for ninety one a game, which is pretty remarkable.

1865
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 8: He's just having a big, big season, and he's going

1866
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:44,000
Speaker 8: for eighteen point nine yards a catch. Tank is right

1867
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 8: behind him at seventeen point one. So you're getting explosion,

1868
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 8: You're getting production out of those guys, and it's been

1869
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 8: just a boon. I mean, you think about Will Fuller.

1870
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 8: You had one of him a few years back, and

1871
01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:00,960
Speaker 8: he was iffy because of injury so often. But now

1872
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:03,080
Speaker 8: you've got two guys who are I don't know how

1873
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 8: long this keeps up, but you got two guys who

1874
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:08,720
Speaker 8: are really really stretching the field, so to speak. And

1875
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:12,080
Speaker 8: that's a problem for opposing defenses. That's a big, big problem.

1876
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tank Dell's shot in the arm basically that he

1877
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:19,760
Speaker 1: has given this offense is I don't think you can

1878
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 1: make too much of it because and I think you

1879
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 1: know when he went out of Atlanta game. Obviously they

1880
01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:29,000
Speaker 1: made adjustments in the Saints game because they had some

1881
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 1: time to prepare. But I think Tank going out of

1882
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 1: that there were two or two things that happened I

1883
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:36,800
Speaker 1: thought in that Atlanta game. Number one the second half

1884
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 1: pass defense. I think Dimico even talked about it with us,

1885
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:43,600
Speaker 1: and I asked him this. I think he would have

1886
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 1: liked to have been more aggressive. They sat back too

1887
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:47,479
Speaker 1: much and gave rid Or too much time to throw.

1888
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 1: That was one thing, But I think the other one

1889
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:53,559
Speaker 1: was Tank. Dell was out, and so Tank backs everybody up.

1890
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just natural, and if you don't, you're

1891
01:27:57,240 --> 01:27:59,720
Speaker 1: gonna get embarrassed. And CJ knows to look for him

1892
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:02,360
Speaker 1: and can make quick decisions and find him even if

1893
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:04,519
Speaker 1: he's not the number one guy. Oh boy, Tank's gonna

1894
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 1: roll that dude. I'm gonna go to him as my

1895
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,160
Speaker 1: second read or third read. He gets the ball to Tank,

1896
01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:11,479
Speaker 1: There's no question. Jacksonville just blue coverages. They just screwed

1897
01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 1: it all up and they were able to take advantage.

1898
01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:16,880
Speaker 1: And obviously, once take catches the football, then the fun

1899
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:19,920
Speaker 1: really begins, to be honest, So getting tanked back healthy,

1900
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:22,560
Speaker 1: which hopefully is the case for the Panthers off the

1901
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:27,400
Speaker 1: concussion against the Falcons. Hopefully that's that's gonna happen because

1902
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 1: he changes things. But I think one of the bigger

1903
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:32,559
Speaker 1: things for Nico, and he's talked about it. I've heard

1904
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:35,680
Speaker 1: Demiko and Nick both talk about that with us. They

1905
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:40,000
Speaker 1: really emphasize to him. Once Bobby Slowick and the coaching

1906
01:28:40,040 --> 01:28:42,559
Speaker 1: staff got here, and Ben McDaniel's wide receiver coach, Hey,

1907
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:44,760
Speaker 1: you can be really good after the catch. You have

1908
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:47,160
Speaker 1: to catch this ball and turn up field and become

1909
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:50,240
Speaker 1: a running back. Forget this falling down stuff or tripping

1910
01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 1: over something. No, you turn around and you become a

1911
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 1: running back, and you're gonna be really hard to stop.

1912
01:28:56,040 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 1: I think those those plays you talk about. Sure there

1913
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 1: have been some some down the field throws, there's no doubt,

1914
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 1: but Nico has also taken a fifteen yard catch and

1915
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:06,479
Speaker 1: turning it into a forty two yard play. Yeah, and

1916
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:10,000
Speaker 1: that's something that I don't know that everybody or anybody

1917
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:12,240
Speaker 1: saw coming, to be honest, and if he continues that

1918
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:14,880
Speaker 1: with tax ability to going on the field, this can

1919
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:18,120
Speaker 1: be a really difficult, difficult offense to stop and due time.

1920
01:29:18,840 --> 01:29:21,400
Speaker 8: You bet time now for an under the Radar Texan

1921
01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:24,040
Speaker 8: to watch, going to Carolina, going to Charlotte, taking on

1922
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:27,479
Speaker 8: the Panthers. I'm taking the lead on this one. I'm

1923
01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:32,000
Speaker 8: gonna go first look under the Radar. He keep your

1924
01:29:32,080 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 8: peepers on Devon Singletary. I think they really with all

1925
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:38,160
Speaker 8: the self scouting that's gone on over the last week

1926
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:42,519
Speaker 8: or so, I think they're really gonna get Damian Pierce going.

1927
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:47,439
Speaker 8: And I think away that happens is by having the

1928
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:52,439
Speaker 8: complement of Devin Singletary in there to pick up some yardage.

1929
01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:55,560
Speaker 8: I could see him. I could see Damien doing a

1930
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 8: lot of the work on a certain series and then

1931
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:01,880
Speaker 8: Devin Singletary coming in as the vulture touchdown, you know,

1932
01:30:02,040 --> 01:30:04,519
Speaker 8: and then you're getting a nice run there. To kind

1933
01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 8: of spoil fantasy folks dreams. Yeah, but I think Devin

1934
01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:11,840
Speaker 8: Singletary is an absolute weapon and I look for him

1935
01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:14,000
Speaker 8: to do some nice things, not just in this game,

1936
01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:16,519
Speaker 8: but throughout the second course of the season, the second

1937
01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:18,559
Speaker 8: chunk of the season. After the buyer, who's yours.

1938
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:22,880
Speaker 1: Well, that's a good one. I mean, I feel like

1939
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:26,880
Speaker 1: you went pretty far under the radar. So I'm gonna

1940
01:30:26,880 --> 01:30:29,600
Speaker 1: give you one that I'm gonna go even further on

1941
01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:32,400
Speaker 1: the radar, Dylan Horton.

1942
01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:36,719
Speaker 8: Yeah. The reason I say Dylan Horton is look defensive

1943
01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:38,679
Speaker 8: lineman from TCU because there.

1944
01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:39,840
Speaker 1: Are a couple of things that are going to feed

1945
01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:43,280
Speaker 1: into this. Number One, John Gernard and Willi Anderson played

1946
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:44,840
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps to think that's something they're gonna

1947
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 1: find out, especially in the second half. Jerry Hughes, I

1948
01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:50,320
Speaker 1: think is on the right trajectory. I think they've got

1949
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,639
Speaker 1: Jerry somewhere between twenty to twenty five plays a game

1950
01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:54,800
Speaker 1: and it's paying off for Jerry. I think it's that's

1951
01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:57,719
Speaker 1: the right thing to do. But I think that Dylan

1952
01:30:57,840 --> 01:30:59,560
Speaker 1: is going to see a little bit more time to

1953
01:30:59,680 --> 01:31:04,479
Speaker 1: help spell John and also Will. He is long, he

1954
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:07,120
Speaker 1: is violent, He does things that you want a defensive

1955
01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:10,640
Speaker 1: end physition. Furthermore, I do think that the Texans are

1956
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:14,240
Speaker 1: gonna get a little bit more opportunity, a few more

1957
01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:17,120
Speaker 1: opportunities on third and long to rush to quarterback, and

1958
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:19,479
Speaker 1: when they do, I think they'll go to some sort

1959
01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:23,400
Speaker 1: of three defensive end look with Dylan Horton kind of

1960
01:31:23,439 --> 01:31:27,519
Speaker 1: being the Charles Amena, who like Dimico had in San

1961
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:29,720
Speaker 1: Francisco where they would take a minahu and they would

1962
01:31:29,720 --> 01:31:32,879
Speaker 1: put him inside and then they would have three defensive

1963
01:31:32,960 --> 01:31:35,080
Speaker 1: ends around a man who So it looks like a

1964
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:37,519
Speaker 1: fort defensive end alignment, but it depends on how you

1965
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:40,280
Speaker 1: classify men who like, Okay, is it forty defensive ends?

1966
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:42,439
Speaker 1: Is three and tme, it doesn't matter. It's four guys

1967
01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:44,919
Speaker 1: that can win upfront, that can get to a quarterback.

1968
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:47,400
Speaker 1: But you have to get teams in third and eleven,

1969
01:31:47,520 --> 01:31:50,040
Speaker 1: third twelve, and now you can start to get exotic.

1970
01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:53,600
Speaker 1: A lot of times. Zmiko doesn't like to leave. He

1971
01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:55,680
Speaker 1: doesn't like to leave four guys out there without one

1972
01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:58,519
Speaker 1: of them being a true defensive tackle. And the fact

1973
01:31:58,520 --> 01:32:02,320
Speaker 1: that he's got rankings and he's got meleak, he's got highness,

1974
01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:04,200
Speaker 1: got cleol. Those guys can all rush the quarterback and

1975
01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:06,080
Speaker 1: do a pretty good job. But I think once they

1976
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:09,120
Speaker 1: get into third and long ger, I think there's gonna

1977
01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:12,240
Speaker 1: be opportunities to put all four defensive ends out there

1978
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:14,599
Speaker 1: with Dylan Horton going inside, so that's gonna give him

1979
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:17,400
Speaker 1: more opportunity. I just think he's gonna get more chance

1980
01:32:17,479 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 1: to play. I think he is an excellent football player.

1981
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:23,040
Speaker 1: He's shown it covered with fumble in Atlanta. He's made

1982
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:24,920
Speaker 1: some pretty big plays. You know, he would have got

1983
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:28,240
Speaker 1: a big holding call against Baltimore, just wasn't called. He's

1984
01:32:28,360 --> 01:32:31,479
Speaker 1: had spots where you go, hey, Dylan Horton. Okay, I

1985
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:34,280
Speaker 1: think now in the second half of the season, as

1986
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:37,680
Speaker 1: teams start to adapt to Grenard and Will, now, all

1987
01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 1: a sudden, here comes Dylan Horton, and he's given you

1988
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:42,799
Speaker 1: good snaps both inside and outside. So I think Dylan Horton,

1989
01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:44,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a guy that I keep an eye on,

1990
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:47,719
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be my under under the radar player

1991
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:49,800
Speaker 1: for this week against the Panthers and probably for the

1992
01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:50,439
Speaker 1: rest of the season.

1993
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:53,760
Speaker 8: Well, if that happens, I mean, this is already a

1994
01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:58,160
Speaker 8: boffo draft class by Nick Cassiri. You layer that guy

1995
01:32:58,240 --> 01:33:00,280
Speaker 8: in if he does what you think he might be

1996
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:03,360
Speaker 8: able to do, uh and and and and accomplished the

1997
01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 8: rest of the way. I mean, this is just a

1998
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:07,200
Speaker 8: grand Slam uh huh, yep.

1999
01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:11,240
Speaker 1: Yep, absolutely, And who doesn't like a Grand Slam?

2000
01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 8: Weirdos, that's who weds Astros fans like me when it's

2001
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:18,840
Speaker 8: a Rangers and you're an Astros fan too.

2002
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:21,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ranger, I hop doesn't. I hop doesn't like Grand

2003
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:23,200
Speaker 1: Slams because those are Denny's.

2004

2009
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:37,320

2031
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:28,400
Speaker 1: there on a Thursday and we left Sunday afternoon. I

2032
01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:31,600
Speaker 1: think I had fish and chips four times. So you know,

2033
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:34,000
Speaker 1: you just you just do what you do, what you

2034
01:34:34,120 --> 01:34:35,599
Speaker 1: have to do. I mean, when I'm in New Orleans,

2035
01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:37,439
Speaker 1: I have been Yet's at least two or three times,

2038
01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:45,560
Speaker 1: for sure. And when you're up there, the chowder, the lobsteroles.

2039
01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:49,680
Speaker 1: If I have a lunch of chowder and lobsterole, you're set.

2040
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:50,160
Speaker 8: Huhh.

2041
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:52,439
Speaker 1: I mean I'm set. I mean every day, every day

2042
01:34:52,439 --> 01:34:56,320
Speaker 1: of the year. And what's great is lops are so cheap.

2043
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:58,559
Speaker 1: I remember when I was in college, it was two

2044
01:34:58,680 --> 01:35:01,840
Speaker 1: ninety nine pound, and so my buddy would go to Maine,

2045
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:04,280
Speaker 1: he would get lobster, he'd come back, he make lobster

2046
01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:06,720
Speaker 1: ravioli for us. I was like, this is pretty good, dude,

2047
01:35:06,840 --> 01:35:10,040
Speaker 1: I gotta learn how to make this pound for lobster.

2048
01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:11,160
Speaker 7: But it's not now.

2049
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:13,800
Speaker 1: But but yeah, back in the back in the day,

2050
01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:15,560
Speaker 1: it's just so easy to get to and get to

2051
01:35:15,640 --> 01:35:18,080
Speaker 1: Maine and do all that. So yeah, it was good.
