Speaker 1: glad to be with you less than forty eight hours

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: away from Patriots the Texans volume Huinies seven. I don't

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: know they've played a lot. I do know that not

18
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: much I do know, but it will be the first

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: time that the Texans will come into this game in

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: ten years with a winning streak against the Patriots, which

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: they got last year December one, twenty nineteen. We all

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: remember Sunday Night against the Patriots. Getting that huge win

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: against the Patriots was big for that season. Of course,

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: the Texans had followed up with a thirty eight to

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: twenty four loss to the Broncos next week, But I digress.

26
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: It is Patriots Week and everybody loves seeing the Patriots

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: on the other side. This will be the first time, though,

28
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: that the Texans will face the Patriots at Energy Stadium

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: without Tom Brady. Now that have faced the Patriots at

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: Gillette without Tom Brady. That was in twenty sixteen when

31
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: Jacobe Bursett took over for Jimmy Garoppolo, who took over

32
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: for Tom Brady, who inflated his football's a lot larger

33
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: or smaller than they were supposed to be with the

34
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: gay and so Garoppolo replaced Brady, and then he got

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: hurt and Brissette replaced him, and then Brissette as a

36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: third stringer, came in and beat the you know what

37
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: out of us. Now I bring that game up because

38
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton, Josh McDaniels in this offense has been

39
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: able really to kind of dust off that old game

40
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: plan they used against the Texans, and I would imagine

41
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: we might see some of those things we saw, including

42
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette quarterback sweep around the right side. The Texans

43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: looked like they had never seen that play before. I

44
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: guess they hadn't against the Patriots, because when was Josh

45
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: McDaniel is gonna call quarterback sweep for Tom Brady. But

46
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: I digressed. We got plenty for you on the show

47
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: this evening. We're here for Romeo Cornell here in just

48
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: a little bit as he sat down with Mark Vannimer,

49
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: So we'll have that for you in just a few minutes.

50
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: But we have got our one on one deep interview

51
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: of the week, brought to you by as Affinity. In

52
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: this week, Dpcity, who sat down with a guy that

53
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: could very well play a role in this game. That's

54
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: CJ Prosise. With David Johnson still on IR and Duke

55
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: Johnson coming into this game after a lot of touches

56
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: last week against the Browns and a ton of touches

57
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars the two consecutive weeks and touches for Duke,

58
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: gotta have somebody that could tote the mail. So maybe

59
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: that's CJ prosise. Maybe it's Scottie Phillips. Well roll with

60
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: CJ because he joined Deepy this week in our Deep

61
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: Plant one on one, So we'll have that for you

62
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: later in the show. I will give you my keys

63
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: to this game against the Patriots. I will also make

64
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: predictions for every game in the NFL this weekend. It's

65
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: a weekly thing. I'm still ninety eight point seven percent

66
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: pretty much by temperature when I go in each and

67
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: every day. So I'm feeling good. I'm an eight plus territory.

68
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: And if you believe that, I've got some riverfront property

69
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: to sell you in the Sahara Desert. But I'm not

70
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: that bad. I'm not that bad. We have fun. That's

71
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: just a good way to talk about the games. So

72
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: we'll have that also later in the show. Plus, we

73
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: will go twelve questions today with Drudhorty. Drewdoorty always has

74
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: his Drew's Dozen and this week it is with all

75
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: my man John Grennard, who's done some good things for

76
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: this team. Here Anthony Weaver talk about Jonathan Grennard and

77
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: what he did against the Browns, and look, it's not perfect.

78
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: He's rookie, he's still getting used to a number of

79
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: different things. He's standing up, he's dropping in coverage, he's

80
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: putting his hand down, he's rushing, he's standing up, he's rushing.

81
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: He's doing a lot of different things as an outside

82
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: linebacker in this particular defense. But he's handling them and

83
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: I think he's coming around. He's starting to kind of

84
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: make that make that turn second half of a rookie year, Like,

85
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: all right, start, is it starting to click? Is it happening?

86
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: The one thing we'd like to see is a little

87
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: bit more pass rush, But look, we're getting good play

88
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: from him in the defense, and that I think is

89
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: what's most important. So we'll have John Grenard, Drew's dozen

90
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: how about that. It's a little bit, that's a little

91
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: bit of everything for you. So we got all of

92
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: that for you on the show, and we've got Drew

93
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: Dardy's final word to close up the show. We'll have

94
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: that for you the final segment a few hours from now.

95
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: Let's get this thing kicked off with some hot reads,

96
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: and the hot reads brought to you by Geico. And

97
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: there's great news because Geico is looking to save you

98
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:38,200

Speaker 1: and all they want from you is fifteen minutes of

100

00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 1: percent or more in car insurance. Man, that's great news.

Speaker 1: Go to Geico dot com to get that taken care of.

104
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: And well, it's a Friday, there's a game on Sunday.

105
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: That means we kick off hot reads on a Friday

106
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: with the game on Sunday. With the head coach of

107
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: your Houston Texans this week, Romeo Crennell sat down the

108
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: voice of Texans Mark Vanomir, coach. So many times in

109
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: your career you faced a former team that you worked for,

110
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: and I know you get asked about that kind of

111
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: thing all the time. Are you just over that when

112
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: that happens, or do you still feel some emotion if

113
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: you see, for instance, the Patriot uniform or the Giants uniform,

114
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 1: how do you feel or the Browns uniform? Yeah, of course,

115
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: you know there are emotions within, and so you always

116
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: want to do good against former teams, you know, no

117
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: matter who it is, and so you're anxious about going

118
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: to play and seeing how your guys are going to

119
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: do so much talk about Cam Newton coach, and a

120
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: lot about his rushing touchdowns nine rushing touchdowns, top three

121
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: in the league coming into the weekend. But it's not

122
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: like anybody can ignore what he does through the air

123
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 1: as well. How do you defend him because he still

124
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: can make plays as a passer as well as a runner,

125
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: he sure can, and so out in the field, you

126
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: have to make sure you kind of keep him in

127
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: the pocket, keep him corralled, and don't give him running lanes,

128
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, so to speak, scramble lanes we call them now.

129
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: A lot of times their plays are designed for the

130
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: red zone where it's less space, you know, and it

131
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: doesn't have to run as far and those kind of things.

132
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: So we have to do a good job of exposing

133
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: our guys to those plays, those quarterback run plays that

134
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: are designed for the quarterback, and we've got to do

135
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: a good job of fitting those because the quarterback as

136
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: a runner, he's an extra guy because generally you don't

137
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: account for the quarterback, but now because they have designed

138
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: plays for him, you've got to get another guy down

139
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: in the box, or you have to assign somebody to

140
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback. You've been having Watson, do some safe running,

141
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: some slides, some out of bounds designed runs that are

142
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: effective for the Texans running game. Do jobs to get

143
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: all the carries as a running back last week, what

144
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: can you tell us about how you want to improve

145
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: in running the football this week? Well, I think I

146
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: talked to the team about being more consistent, you know,

147
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,119
Speaker 1: because sometimes we look really good than other times we're

148
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: not as sharp, and so I talk to them about

149
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: being consistent in our technique and our execution. And so

150
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: if we can focus on consistency, I think that a

151
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: lot of things will improve on this team. Well, special

152
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: teams is always big coach, but against the Patriots it

153
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: always seems to be bigger. They put so much focus

154
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: on it. What about that phase of the game in

155
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: this matchup with New England, Well, they make you cover

156
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: all your bases on special teams and you've got to

157
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: be on top of your game. And so as a

158
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: result of that, you know, the things that we've been

159
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: doing are the things we do every week, and I

160
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: think that those are the things that we'll do this game.

161
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: But we just have to have more focus. Each layer

162
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: has to have more focus. How do you feel the

163
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: week of preparation has gone on the field physically for

164
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: your squad going into this game with the Patriots coach,

165
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: I think it's been good. The attitudes have been good. There,

166
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: there's energy, guys are running around, and the plays that

167
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: we've been practicing have been looking good. So I feel

168
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: good about the game. I was so good to hear

169
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: Raxaye felt good about this game. They're taking out a

170
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: four and five Patriots team Texans two and seven. I

171
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: can't think of a time when that's ever been the

172
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: case when both teams came into this game with losing records,

173
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: and unfortunately that's the case this year. But this game

174
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: has been very important in AFC battle over the last

175
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: few years, and finally the Texans were able to get

176
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: one last year, and then the Titans finished them off

177
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: last year up at Gillette And I know it was

178
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: great for the Texans to get a win. I was

179
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: really happy for that, but I feel like the Titans

180
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: getting that play off win that was I don't know, man,

181
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: that that kind of That was Tom Brady's last one.

182
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: Logan Ryan, the former Patriot, gets a pick six on

183
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: Brady's last throat to Lett Stadium. You know they got

184
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: to put the Patriots to bed. We got to feed

185
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: them dinner, but they got to put the Patriots to bed.

186
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: So a little frustrating that the Texans weren't able to

187
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: do that. However, Texans to get a win last year,

188
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: so that was Oh really that matters all right. On

189
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: a Friday with a game Sunday very important. We always

190
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: jump into the status report. Now hang onto your socks

191
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: for this one because this may take a while. This

192
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,359
Speaker 1: it might be easier to tell you who's just available

193
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: to play in this game. I got this injury report

194
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: on Friday and I I literally chuckled out loud. I

195
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: chuckled out loud, and you'll hear why. Of a second.

196
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: For the Texans, Michael Thomas ruled out hate seeing that

197
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: mikey t has been really good on this defense in

198
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: sub package work, also on special Team's gonna miss Mike

199
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: Thomas on Sunday. That's a big one. Now he did

200
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: not participate in practice, so he's out. Larrymy Tunsel has

201
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: been sick all week and this is a big one. Obviously,

202
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: no other players played left tackle other than yeah, man,

203
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: I think it was Chris Clark jumped over there for

204
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: a game Larrmy missed. Was it in London? Arry? I

205
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: think Laramie Man missed the London game. I think he did,

206
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: And so Chris Clark went over there as Titus Howard

207
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: played on the right side. Then they moved back when

208
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: Titus was not healthy, Laramie went back. So the only

209
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: guy to play left tackles Chris Clark, not named Laramie Tunsel.

210
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: So Laramie did not participate practice all week. It's been

211
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: dealing with an illness, so, of course not COVID two

212
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: very important words, not COVID, but it's an illness. And

213
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: for something to knock you out for three days, does

214
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: that mean that you're going to be available to play

215
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: on Sunday? Now, if you start feeling better Friday morning

216
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: but you're not quite ready to practice, could you feel

217
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: good enough to do a walk through Saturday play on Sunday?

218
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: I suppose, But I think we've gotten to those days,

219
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: especially now in the world of COVID, where you know,

220
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: look just you know, if a guy has been sick,

221
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: you know there's there's no pride found in I got

222
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: it up. I had to. I had a cough and

223
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: sniffles and sore throat and this and that, and I

224
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: played that. You know that those days are long long gone.

225
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: I say all that to tell you that Laramie Tonsils, listen,

226
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: that's questionable on this report for Sunday. Now, we do

227
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: know that a competitive advantage situation competitive disadvantage would be

228
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots knowing Laramie Tonsil's not gonna play, not gonna start,

229
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: not going to be the guy, etc. We've seen that before.

230
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: They may know in their hearts that Larmy Tunso is

231
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: out of this one. They may not. They may feel

232
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 1: like he's got an opportunity to turn it around. Either way,

233
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: He's not participated in practice, but he is questionable with

234
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: an illness. Now limited for the Texans to practice today.

235
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: Brian Anger, Colin Glaspia, Sinil Calamette, Jacob Martin, Charles Amenta, who,

236
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills, they were all limited. Those guys are all

237
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: listed as questionable. Hoy. Now before you go, whoa wow,

238
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: holy smokes. One final note Duke Johnson full participant listed

239
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: as in he had been dealing with an illness as

240
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: well the Patriots. And here we go. Just hang on

241
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: to everything that you have because it will take a

242
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: while to get through this Juwan, I'm Bentley, Adam Butler,

243
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: Nick Folk, Stefan Gilmour, Lawrence guy to Rez Hall, Damien Harris,

244
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: Ryan Izzo, Shack Mason, John Simon, Joe Touney, Dietrich Wise,

245
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: Isaiah When, Nikkil Harry, Matthew Slater, they were all limited

246
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: in practice on Friday. They are all questionable. Now you

247
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: should have gone. Okay, wait, hold on, back up, best

248
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: corner in the league questionable has not played the last

249
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: few weeks. Okay, all right, Nikil Harry one of his

250
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: starting wide receivers. I guess he's starting. He had really

251
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: hasn't done a whole lot more than Jacoby Myers. Okay,

252
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: all right. One name that's not listed there is Julian Edelman's.

253
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: Now have you been following with some of you do?

254
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: Edelman has been out, was on IR. I think he

255
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: went on IR midto late October. He was back at

256
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: practice to sing this week within that twenty one day window.

257
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: Now we've seen guys. A. J. Moore was one of

258
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: them that got out of that IR window within seven

259
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: to ten days. Julian Aediman could be a factor. He

260
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: could play on Sunday, but the Patriots would have to

261
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: make that transaction possible to bring him along and announce yeah,

262
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: he is being brought back up to the active roster.

263
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: We don't know that yet. However, we do know that

264
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: those names two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve, fourteen, fifteen names,

265
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: nearly a third of the forty six man game day

266
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: roster typically is questionable for this game. So now you

267
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: know why when I saw the injury report, I went, oh, yeah,

268
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: that thing just got belichicked because nobody has any idea

269
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: Damien Harris. Damien Harris was great last week, but he's

270
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: got two ailments and he's questionable. So what are you

271
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? You're just gonna who's ever

272
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: there in a different colored jersey. You're just gonna go

273
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: after him and do whatever possible on Sunday. But that

274
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: is your status report. About six seven guys questionable for

275
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: the Texans, tounsil Anger, Gillespia Calamte, Martin Mena, who stills,

276
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: and good to see Duke Johnson back as a full

277
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: participant in practice today. All right, those are your hot raids,

278
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: brought to you by Geico. We get back. It'll be

Speaker 1: bikes Affinity DPC who caught up with CJ. Procise. Could

281
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: Procise play a role in this game on Sunday, I

282
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: seem to think that he could. We'll do that next

283
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: right here in Texans All Access. All rightlet' jump back

308
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: on one presented by Xfinity. Our guest this week, five

309
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: year veteran CJ. Procise. I've actually never had a chance

310
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: to talk to you, so we're meeting right now in

311
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: the Zoom interview. CJ. How's it going. It's going great.

312
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: How about you? I'm doing all right. I mean I

313
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 1: want to hear about your season because twenty twenty has

314
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: been a bit of a roller coaster for everybody. But

315
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: you join the Texans just prior to week one, you're

316
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: on the practice squad. We saw your name get elevated

317
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: a couple of times to the active roster for game

318
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: day with when Duke was out with an injury early

319
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: and then now that David Johnson's on IR. You're on

320
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster. So what's this season been

321
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: like for you. You've spent your entire career with Seattle

322
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 1: and here you are in Houston. Oh yeah, I mean

323
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: it's definitely been a roller coaster ride for everybody. I

324
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: think it's kind of a learning experience as we go,

325
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: even with you know, this elevating from practice squad back

326
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: down being cut, you know, being being brought back to

327
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: practice squad. I think just for everybody in general in

328
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: the league is kind of a learning experience, just with

329
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: this whole COVID situation. But I mean been, I've been.

330
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: I've actually had a great year here. You know, I've

331
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: had a lot of injuries in Seattle which kind of

332
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: kind of turned my career to you know, kind of

333
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: kind of messed up my career a little bit. So

334
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: when I got here and just being around these guys

335
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: here and just being in the locker room, it's been.

336
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: It's been really great. It's been really just revival for

337
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: my career just as far as fun, uh, just loving

338
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: being out there with the team. Yeah, a little bit

339
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: of a change of scenery. And we saw you in Cleveland.

340
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: You had the uh the kickoff return one of them

341
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: for twenty four yards. What do you like about being

342
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: back there returning kicks? I know what Notre Dame. You

343
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: you did a little bit of everything, right, You did

344
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 1: kickoffs and punts, you did all ah. Well, actually that

345
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: was my first ever kick return in an NFL game

346
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: or in college. Yeah. The last time we did the

347
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: kick returns in high school. So uh so, I'm you know,

348
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: I was just pretty much is out there, just just running,

349
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: running full speed and trying put my footing in the

350
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: ground and makes money. Miss. I mean, I was just

351
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: having fun out there and just trying to make make

352
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: something happen. Well, how did you end up on kickoff

353
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: return for the Texans? I was talking to Romeo Cornell

354
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: about it, and he they seemed to really like what

355
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: you're doing on the kickoff team so far. You know,

356
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: I think they just wanted to kind of give me,

357
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: give me a shot of you know, just touching the ball,

358
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: you know, with Duke and David, you know, being in

359
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: the backfield wasn't a lot of opportunities, and they kind

360
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: of seen an opportunity for me to you know, make

361
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: the plays on kick return. Uh. Once I once I

362
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: learned how to catch catch them consistently. They thought it

363
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: was a good idea to put me out there. I mean,

364
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: I knew I could make some plays and once I

365
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: got the ball in my amy. You mentioned your injuries

366
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: in Seattle, and I know you've dealt with your spare

367
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: share of them. Uh, you know, what was the worst

368
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: of what you'd gone through? And how do you sort

369
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: of bounce back from the adversity of going through an injury,

370
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: especially one that cuts your season short, to start over

371
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: again and start fresh like you have here with the Texans.

372
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean really just kind of keeping my mindset just

373
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, kind of straightforward. You know, I dealt with

374
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: different injuries over years. I was put on i R

375
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: three years. I think last year I when I got

376
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: put on IR. I got put on IR week sixteen,

377
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: and it was that was that one really kind of

378
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: that one kind of hurt the most because it was,

379
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: you know, I was seeing the kind of the end

380
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: of the road, you know. I you know, I was

381
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: feeling like I was gonna get my shot to start

382
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: next week and I broke my arm and it kind

383
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: of just you know, deflated me. And then I was

384
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: kind of I was off for off sense, I guess

385
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: when I got hurt until text and signed me and

386
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: before the season starts, So that whole time I was

387
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: just you know, kind of a lot of thinking, a

388
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: lot of you know, just you know, just kind of

389
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: figuring out what I really wanted to do and if

390
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, if I coming back to football, you know

391
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: how I would approach it and what my mindset would be.

392
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, just getting an opportunity to

393
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: come here, it's been great. It's really just kind of

394
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: been a revival for me. Did you ever feel like

395
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: maybe you would just give up football and walk away

396
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: from it? Was that ever a thought or did you

397
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 1: always feel like you were going to come back from

398
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: the injuries? Uh? Yeah, I knew I was gonna come back,

399
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: but you know, I didn't know if I can get

400
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: the opportunity to I knew every injury I had, you know,

401
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: teams would be very reluctant to even think about signing me.

402
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: So I had to, you know, work that much harder

403
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: and just kind of try to show, try to show

404
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: with the teams because it wasn't any film I could

405
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: put out there or any tape I could really send.

406
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: I'll just sending them workout videos and me working out

407
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: in the field by myself. So it wasn't really much

408
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: I could do as far as, you know, showing them,

409
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: except I had to go out there and work hard.

410
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: And then once I finally got the opportunity, I got

411
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: here and it may never show it. Well, you were

412
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: a twenty sixteen draft pick out of Notre Dame, and

413
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: we know the twenty sixteen draft class. I don't Notre

414
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: Dame really well because of obviously the Texans first round

415
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: pick and Will Fuller you know him very well too,

416
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: as well as Nick Martin. So let's start with Will Fuller,

417
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: because I know what Notre Dame. You started off as

418
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, so you two not only were on

419
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: the same team, you were in the same position group.

420
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,479
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So what was it like reuniting? You know,

421
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: you get a chance with another team and then it

422
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: turns out to be someone that you were very familiar

423
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: with with Fuller here at the Texans. Well, first of all,

424
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 1: me I was so when I got the call from uh,

425
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, the Texans out will be signed and sign

426
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: him to the practice squad, I was, you know, fully

427
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: was probably the first person I told just you know,

428
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: our relationship going back to college. You know, we were

429
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: always close. We were actually roommates, I think his freshman year,

430
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: my red chair of freshman year. So that was the

431
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: first year we kind of you know started you know,

432
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: growing our bond together. But we always play, you know,

433
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: side to side in the field, and you know, just

434
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: being seeing him, you know, seeing the way his his

435
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: his careers progressed even Nick, you know, seeing how how

436
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: how well they've progressed here, and you know, kind of

437
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: just being seeing him being leaders on this team is

438
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's really it's really cool to see just

439
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: coming from somewhere else and playing with him before. It's

440
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: really really fun to see. All Right, So you guys

441
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: were roommates at Notre Dame. What was what was will

442
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: Fuller like then? He's a pretty quiet guy now as

443
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: much changed about about the guy that you knew versus

444
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: the Texans fans, No, no, nothing else. He might talk

445
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: a little bit more now, but he's more talkative that

446
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: but not not much. You know, I mean me and

447
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: him both were kind of the same. We're really very

448
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: quiet guys and don't really you know, we're not allowed

449
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: guys who kind of keep to ourselves kind of in

450
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: the house all the time, but you know that kind

451
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: of thing, that's why we kind of clicked all the time.

452
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, No, he definitely hasn't changed much. He's

453
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: still he's still quiet. Will he's still run past everybody

454
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: and then won't say a worried to you. You guys

455
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: both have dealt with your share of injuries, and both

456
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: of you seem to be having a good start this

457
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: yere obviously with fuller everything that he's done in this year.

458
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: But when you when you watch what he's able to

459
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: do on the field, is that kind of how you

460
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: remember him at Notre Dame. Oh yeah, And I mean

461
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: and now it's even you know, it's like almost like

462
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: double that because he can do so much more than

463
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: what he was Notre Dame. It was like, all right,

464
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: you're just fastening everybody's run and go run past everybody.

465
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: Now it's like he can do anything you want him

466
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: to do it at receiver block, we're out running and

467
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean, of course his feed is is his top

468
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: notch and he was probably one of the best fastest

469
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: in the league. But uh, you know, he can do everything.

470
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: He's a he's a complete player. And I mean excited

471
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: for his future going forward. You know, every time I

472
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: see him out in the field, you know, he's probably

473
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: my favorite player to watch, so I'm always excited INtime

474
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: he makes a play. All right, So you started off

475
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver and then you got moved to

476
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: running back. So tell me about that. What was that

477
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: transition like for you? Was that something that you were expecting.

478
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: Did you think that was a temporary move? Did you

479
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: think one day you were going to go back to

480
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver. How tough was it to go from wide

481
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: receiver to running back? Oh? Yeah, So my my junior

482
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: year was a big fine receiver and then I had

483
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: a lot of I had a lot of run there

484
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: give me kind of jet sweeps, kind of an around

485
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: and runs, and I think com closure to the end

486
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: of the season, I started had bigger runs and bigger plays.

487
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: And I think once the season ended, you know, there's

488
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about me moving in the running

489
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: back just because of you were lacking in depth kind

490
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: of kind of thing at the time, and our receivers

491
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: were so deep a receiver at Notre Dame at the time,

492
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: we didn't really I was I would have been an asset,

493
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: but it was at running back. I think I helped

494
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: the team more and that kind of Uh. And for me,

495
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: I'm always just about helping the team win. And uh,

496
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: that was kind of the situation I was in, and

497
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: it turned out to be the best situation for me.

498
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: I was looking at some of your college stats, and

499
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: one of your best performances was in twenty fifteen at Clemson.

500
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: You had one hundred yards rushing, one hundred fifty yards

501
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: from scrimmage, you had a rushing touchdown, and oh, Deshaun

502
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: Watson was the quarterback on the other side of the field.

503
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: And I know we've talked to several of these players

504
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: about this particular team. I believe this was the one

505
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: that was played in this monsoon rainstorm. Correct. Yeah, so

506
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: obviously Notre Dame wants to run the ball a lot.

507
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: But when you look back at that game, to think

508
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: that you're playing on the same team as Deshaun Watson, Now,

509
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: what did you remember about him? Facing him in college

510
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: and watching his career developed now here in the NFL. Uh,

511
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you know just the poise, you

512
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: know from the from the start you kind of even

513
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: I think I remember watching Deshaun's first game as a freshman,

514
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: you know, you just know his point. You can just

515
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: see the poise. And now playing with him, you just

516
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm a part of it now. You can just see

517
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: how how it relaxed and how how easy he makes

518
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: he makes the game look. And I mean there's really

519
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: something something to watch, especially you know we're now watching

520
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: him and Will playing on the same team, and you

521
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: know all the other guys that we have when on

522
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: this roster. I mean, it's it's been it's been fun

523
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: to watch them off. Sure. Okay, so we know you

524
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: haven't been running back your entire career, but you've been

525
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: playing it long enough. So who do you think you've

526
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: really modeled your run game after. Was there a player

527
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: or two that you sort of watched in the league

528
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: and you feel like that's the style that you want

529
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: to emulate. Well, it's actually funny because, uh, you know

530
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: a lot of things I got here, a lot of

531
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. Even when Seattle told me, remind me,

532
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Foster and I was kind of a

533
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: guy I always, uh, even growing up, I remember watching

534
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: a lot Thurell Davis is a guy you know, that's

535
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: my one of my all time favorites. But Aaron Foster

536
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: is the guy, and I definitely, you know, I watched

537
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: his games, even Matt four to kind of watch those

538
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: guys games who are both you know, receiving backs who

539
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: can also make, you know, make plays out the backfield.

540
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: And so those are two guys that definitely, you know,

541
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: like like to use their game to kind of model

542
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: my game after I remember Aaron fosterball. He's a lot

543
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: of fun to watch, a lot of fun to chat

544
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: with as well, a very very interesting character. All Right,

545
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: So CEJ, now heading into this final stretch of the season,

546
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: you're you know, what do you feel like you can

547
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: really bring to the special teams and and to this

548
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: offense behind Duke. I mean, you know, I'm really just

549
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: looking to bring a different energy, you know, I uh,

550
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 1: coming in with coming in with fresh legs. I'm excited

552
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: John mix some plays. That's really what I'm looking forward to.

553
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm really just excited to be out there. You know,

554
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm battled my ups and down, so really just being

Speaker 1: full on deep dive into this upcoming game on Sunday.

587
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: four or five years, and it gives me John Harris

588
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: Football Alo Sideline reporter an opportunity to really kind of

589
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: dive into the film what have I seen and give

590
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: you what I think People have told me they like it,

591
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: so I continue to do it. So let's rock. It's

592
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: time for a First Community Credit Union, First Glance Keys

593
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: to the Game, and let's start with the Texans defense

594
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: against the Patriots offense. Now, this Patriots offense is put

595
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: together a little bit differently. They run for one hundred

596
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: sixty one yards per game, that's second in the NFL.

597
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: They pass for only one ninety four point eight. That's

598
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: twenty ninth in the NFL. It's self familiar last week

599
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit now, there'll be one

600
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: big aspect that's not there last week that will be

601
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: there this week. We'll get to that in a little bit,

602
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: in a stress the word big. We'll do that in

603
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: a little bit. Total offense three hundred fifty six yards

604
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: per game. That's nineteenth. So they kind of split the

605
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: middle there in some sense. But they've also lost fifteen

606
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: turnovers this year, which is a pretty big number. Eleven interceptions,

607
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: four fumbles. That's a big number, I think for a

608
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: Patriots coach team, but it's not out of the realm

609
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: of possibility, given the fact that Patriots have had major changes,

610
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: especially in all the skilled positions. For the most part,

611
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan, Danny A. Mendola, those guys not there. We

612
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: do not know if we will see Julian Edelman. If

613
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: Edelman plays, he becomes the guy you have to cover

614
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: with a corner at all times. Now. The Texas last year,

615
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: I thought that a great job of swapping different guys

616
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: out on Edelman, and it really kind of confused Brady.

617
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: But at times it was Bradley Roby. Other times I'm

618
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: trying to remember who else we had back there at

619
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: the time, but other times it was not. And so

620
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: sometimes Roby would look like he was gonna be the guy,

621
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: then he blitz. Sometimes he looked like he was gonna

622
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: be the guy that he was the guy. Sometimes he

623
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: wasn't at all. He just covered the outside guy on

624
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: the opposite side, and then he kind of you know,

625
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: Ediman was sort of bracketed. Now we don't know about

626
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: Edaman playing in this game, so that's a big question

627
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: mark that fits into these keys that I didn't put

628
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: in because I didn't want to assume he's playing. But

629
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: I didn't want to not assume he's playing. So if

630
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: he's playing, he's gonna want the football. He's probably the

631
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: best weapon in the passing game. He is is not

632
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: even close, and Cam Newton really would like to get

633
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: him the football. Julie Ediman basically becomes like the running

634
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: quarterback he was at Kent State back in the day.

635
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: They get him the ball, he makes magic happen with

636
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: it out in space, and that's really he was. He's

637
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: not a great quarterback, but he was electric with the

638
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: ball in his hands. That's really what he's become. So

639
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: when he's on the field, first of all, the Texans,

640
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: what's the plan? How do you handle him? Are you

641
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: gonna bracket him? Are you gonna keep m by the middle?

642
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: Who are you going to cover him with? How much

643
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: man do you want to play? When he crosses the field?

644
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: You got to bounce in between zone players for It's

645
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: about the best thing you can plan to do. Now, again,

646
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna play or not. We'll

647
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: find out more of the next probably thirty six hours.

648
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: So stive into the keys against the Patriots offense. Number one,

649
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: the Texans must disrupt downhill running lanes. Now, I go

650
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,239
Speaker 1: back to Derek Henry as a draft prospect, and I

651
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: remember there are a lot of people that said, look,

652
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: if you give Dereck Henry some runway, he's going to

653
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: embarrass you. And what that meant was is if they

654
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: opened a little bit of a hole and from that

655
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: iyeback position, he could hit that thing downhill and have

656
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: six seven yards of momentum by the time he hit

657
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, you could forget it. But if

658
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: your guys up front were good in their gaps and

659
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: didn't allow Henry to have that runway such that when

660
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: he got three or four yards from his position he

661
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: had to kind of stop, breakdown and read it and go.

662
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: You were at a really good advantage point if that

663
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: were the case. The Exans have to have that same

664
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: philosophy against Damien Harris against the Ravens. And now, look, granted,

665
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: I watched that game on Tuesday when I still was

666
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: kind of in him anesthesiology Hayes if you will, But

667
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: as I was watching, I'm like, dang, he's hidden the

668
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: holes fast. And that's the key. The Ravens, for as

669
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: good defensively as they are, they were allowing Damien Harris

670
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: to get downhill right now. They gave him a seam

671
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: and he blasted through it and the second level defenders

672
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: weren't able to slow him down or even tackle him,

673
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 1: and he ended up having a great game one hundred

674
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,240
Speaker 1: and twenty one yards rushing. As a result, he cannot

675
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: have that runway. The Texans have to take that away.

676
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: The first move that Harris makes has to be in

677
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: his own backfield to try and find where the hole is.

678
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: That slows as momentum down, that gives a defense and

679
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to slow the running game. Key number two. Be

680
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: well aware of all the Patriots tricks. Now it is

681
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: sort of funny. Then we talked about the Patriots and

682
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: tricks and de flake Gate and Spygate and all that

683
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But on the field, offensively, they've always

684
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: had a trick player too, ready to go. They didn't

685
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: use the double pass for about ten years. Then they

686
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: pulled out of mothballs in twenty fourteen and let Julian

687
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: Edelman throw it. And I've seen them throw it at

688
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: least a dozen times since and it usually hits. Last week,

689
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: Jacobe Myers took a pass from Newton. He threw a

690
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: fade route Jacoby Myers did to Rex burkehead for a

691
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: touchdown against the Ravens. Be aware of the tricks at

692
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: all time. Don't be caught. Oh no, this is a

693
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: double pass. You've got to be on your p's and

694
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: ques reading keys at all times. And front level offenders

695
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: have got to be able to see backwards passes. It

696
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: was pretty clear was a backwards pass against the Ravens.

697
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 1: The offensive or the defensive line, they've got to notice

698
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: that and go immediately. Jacobe Myers and trying to up

699
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: that throat or whoever's throwing it. Beware of the tricks.

700
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking to Belichick tricks. I'm talking just

701
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: trick plays from Josh McDaniels in this offense. Number three,

702
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: it's more of a question. For number three, it's someone

703
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: rhetorical but somewhat not. Can the Texans exploit a sixth

704
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: round rookie at right tackle? Now? A sixth round rookie

705
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: from Michigan has been the thorn in the side of

706
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: the Texans forever until last year, and he still was

707
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: a thorn in the side of the Texans. You just

708
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: didn't win the game. That'd be Tom Brady. Well the Patriots.

709
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: I got another one and his name is Michael on

710
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:45,720
Speaker 1: Wayu away new on Waynu. I'll get it right, Michael

711
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: and Waynu. And coming out of Michigan, I thought, yeah,

712
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: he's a little sloppy Musica player, but I didn't think

713
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: a lot of him. Well, he has stepped into that

714
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: right tackle position with the Patriots and he's crushed it.

715
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 1: He's been arguably as good as any on the offensive line.

716
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 1: But this week it's JJ Watt and that's a whole

717
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: different challenge, a whole different challenge rookies struggle against what

718
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: they get a couple opportunities against him, Like I got

719
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: this thing, I got this thing, and then oh he

720
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: just dropped a dip rip on me and I missed it.

721
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: And that's how good JJ is. So not only can

722
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: they what needs to what needs to exploit him, get

723
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: his confidence shaking a bit early. Yes, he will have

724
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: an opportunity. He's a good player. He's gonna get hands

725
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: on JJ, there's no doubt. But JJ's got to frustrate

726
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: him early on and just get in his head a

727
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: little bit. He gets in his head. That's a great thing.

728
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: That's a great thing. Can the Texans exploit a six

729
00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: round rookie attackle? Not only can they, they must keen

730
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: Number four, answer physical with physical Now, people ask me

731
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: this all the time. You know, okay, how physical are they?

732
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: You know? Can you can you really tell? How can

733
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: you how can you tell? Well? I was down in

734
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: my sideline mode. I've seen the Ravens in the last

735
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 1: two years. I've seen the Ravens the last seven years.

736
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 1: There's there have really been not a bunch of teams

737
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: that are as physical as the Ravens in either conference.

738
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: When I watched that Sunday night game. Last week, the

739
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: Patriots taken on the Ravens. The Ravens were not the

740
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: more physical team by a long shot. The Patriots stuck

741
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: it to the Ravens physically from play one to the

742
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: last play of the game. When it was a downpour,

743
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. They just kept pounding and pounding, impounding.

744
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: And the Patriots know what they are. They know that

745
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: right now it's a flawed football team offensively, they really

746
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: can just run it. They accept those flaws, and they

747
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: still think they're gonna beat you because they now believe

748
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: we can be more physical than that team we're facing.

749
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: If the Texans don't answer physical for physical, it's gonna

750
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: be a long night. Key number five A turnover is

751
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: not too much to ask. We need the ball, please,

752
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: Texans defense, go get it, all right, Flip it over

753
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: to the Patriots defense. And this is a really interesting unit.

754
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: Gives up one hundred and twenty nine point two yards

755
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: per game. That's twenty fourth in the NFL. Last week

756
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: who passing yards, they've given up two twenty four point one,

757
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: tenth in the league. Total offense, they're thirteenth in the league.

758
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: Given up about three fifty three. They've also generated fifteen

759
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: turnovers eleven interceptions, six of those coming from one guy.

760
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: We'll get to him in just a second. So what

761
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 1: are the keys number one against his Patriots defense? Slow Guy, literally,

762
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: slow Lawrence Guy. Lawrence Guy. You probably who the hell's

763
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: Lawrence Guy? Who does he play for? He plays the Patriots,

764
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: and he's very good. He's exceptional inside. He's the kind

765
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: of guy that I've watched in sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen.

766
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: The Texans not able to block effectively even when the

767
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: offense is doing some tremendous things. Lawrence Guy was one

768
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: of the better players in that game against the Ravens.

769
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: The Texans don't slow him down or occupy him, it's

770
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: going to be a long night for the Texans offense.

771
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: They must slow Guy, Lawrence Guy number two. Last year,

772
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: the Texans were incredibly efficient through the air. Seawan did

773
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: it short, medium, and long, but they didn't throw it

774
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: a ton. I think they threw like twenty five times.

775
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: Then Deshall was sacked a couple of times. They didn't

776
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: have the ball for but fifty two plays and they

777
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: almost were one. They were fifty fifty run pass balance

778
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: but when Nashun threw it, he was highly efficient throwing

779
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: the ball in the air. This wasn't we're gonna throw

780
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: it eight times and one of them's gonna hit it.

781
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: Was we're gonna throw it three times, one of them's

782
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: gonna hit two. You know, at least two of them

783
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: are gonna be twenty twenty five plus yard plays. They've

784
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: got to have that sort of efficiency on Sunday, and

785
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 1: they've got to have an efficiency because they're facing jac Jackson,

786
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: who has six interceptions in six consecutive weeks. He's been

787
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: phenomenal with Stefan Gilmore being out. Now Gilmore is questionable,

788
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: So if Gilmore and Jackson are playing, it's gonna be

789
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: a tough afternoon for the Texans receivers. Now it's a challenge,

790
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: but it's one they can win. But it's gonna be

791
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: a challenge jac Jackson alone, all right, there's some things

792
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: you can do without him and away from him, but

793
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: you've got to be efficient throwing the football. Number three.

794
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: We talked about this earlier, so I once won't spend

795
00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: too much time. If Larmy Tunsel doesn't play, Rod Johnson

796
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: more than likely steps over there left tackle You're gonna

797
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: have to give him help because the Patriots are gonna

798
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: bring all kinds of different blitzes and different schemes and

799
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:13,919
Speaker 1: things off that side if Larry Tunsil doesn't play Number four.

800
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: A couple of things I liked about the Cleveland game.

801
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: There were a couple of quick hitting runs and one

802
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: of them was a scheme that we had not seen

803
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: the Texans use ever, and it's called a crunch scheme.

804
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: It's basically a trap slash wham scheme. And I knew

805
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: something was up when I saw Duke Johnson kind of

806
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: hit the line faster than I expected. I was like, WHOA.

807
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: I looked up at the replay, and as I was

808
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: watching it play, I was like, I thought I saw

809
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: Max Sharping as a trap blocker. Looked up it was like, yep,

810
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 1: sure was. And they put that play in thirteen yard game.

811
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: It got on the Browns so fast they couldn't do

812
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: anything about it. That's the kind of thing that has

813
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: to happen with the Patriots. Get on them physically, get

814
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: on them quickly, and that's going to give you an opportunity.

815
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 1: And number five, the tighter the better, and the tighter

816
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 1: means the tight ends, these three players for the last

817
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: couple of years. Throw Farrell Brown in there this year,

818
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: and said Jordan Thomas, but this group has been as

819
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: good as any offensive group, any unit on this team.

820
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 1: And last year they came up big in this game.

821
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: In fact, they were all on the field together when

822
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: Darren Fells caught his RPO touchdown. I gave the Texans

823
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: a I think thirteen to nine, fourteen to nine lead

824
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: or whatever it was. At that point. The tight ends

825
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: have got to be involved. They can put pressure on

826
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots. It's a dose of their own medicine, if

827
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: you will. And all of them, Fells, farall Brown, Jordan Nakins,

828
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: all of them can be big factors against the New

829
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: England Patriots. All right, Tho's your first Community Credit Union

830
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: first glance Keys to the Game. We get back two

831
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: Little Drew's Dirty Dozen with John Grenard right here in

832
00:43:54,160 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. We got one hour down to one

833
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,399
Speaker 1: hour left to go. Right here on this Friday, Nation

834
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: of Texans All Access. I'm your host, John Harris, football

835
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: analysts and side on reporter for your Houston Texans, and

836
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,240
Speaker 1: we are less than forty eight hours away from taking

837
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: on the New England Patriots at Energy Stadium. Kick is

838
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: at noon. They will be noon kicks, I would say

839
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: noon kicks the rest of the year, but Detroit will

840
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: be I think eleven thirty central kick, I believe. So

841
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: we'll just keep that one circled as being different. It

842
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 1: is Thanksgiving, so it's definitely different, no doubt about that. Okay,

843
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 1: it's time for Drew's Dozen, twelve questions that Drew comes

844
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: up with in that brain of his that oftentimes I

845
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 1: hear and go, how did you come up with that?

846
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 1: I think I've been on the other end of Drew's

847
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: dozen questions and it's fun, but man, it's stressful. The

848
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: players handle it way better than I would. And John

849
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: Grenard's at rookie, I know he's gonna handle it extremely well.

850
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: Here's Drew's dozen. Yeah, twelve questions with Drew Doughty. It

851
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: is rookie outside linebacker John Grenard. Well, it's been a

852
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: while since we've seen him, and it's the first time

853
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: we've actually got to get him on Drew's Dozen. We're

854
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 1: doing twelve questions with rookie outside linebacker Jonathan Grenard. Let's

855
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: start here, Jonathan, what are your nicknames? Oh? Man from

856
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 1: John j G Johnny Boy, Johnny G. I'm a cute

857
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: so they called me cute doll. I mean it's it's

858
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. But I mean fifty two five

859
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: to whatever number was, you know, they called you got

860
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: seven right there off the bat. That's pretty quick. I

861
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: like it. Do you do you both? Do? Most people

862
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: just call you John? Know? Is that the main one?

863
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: Well the main one? So everybody calls me John, my family,

864
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: my mom, she only like my meetia family. Really the

865
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: only ones that call me Jonathan. Um. If she calls

866
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: me by my folly, you know, it's a little it's

867
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: a joke we have. It's like a John thin And

868
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: that's why my sister and brother called me. But my

869
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 1: mom she said John nothing and explays a whole lot.

870
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 1: I know him in trouble, So I know that that's

871
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 1: that's the one I don't want to hear. And you

872
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: never ever want to hear your first name and your

873
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: middle name, do you? And that's when things get really bad.

874
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 1: You've you've messed. Okay, what are some things in your

875
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: personal like personal life that you like to get complimented on? Oh? Man, um,

876
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: I think it's just about the most time, like what

877
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: type of person I am off the field? You know

878
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 1: I'm on that field. I think they see the mean

879
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: and the anger and the excitement enthusiasm and I have

880
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 1: and um and how I talk to people out there,

881
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: and then they kind of see me outside. You know,

882
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm kind of just a laid back, funny guy. She'll

883
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: just want to make jokes all the time, and they're

884
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: kind of surprised by that. So just how hot care myself? Um,

885
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: I would definitely say that. UM. I think besides that,

886
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: I would say how how how old spoken I am sometimes?

887
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they kind of just wouldn't expect myself to

888
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: just come out and know the things I do. I

889
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: did go to college, for one, so how at least

890
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: give me that benefit of the doubt. And you can

891
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: sing a little bit, can't you? Yeah, exact got the thing.

892
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: But that's the thing. I don't nobody would know that.

893
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: Unlet's say, actually just hear me singing around out of that.

894
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, I could sing a little bit too. You

895
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: sang well enough that you kind of won a competition

896
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: back in the day, didn't you. The story I was

897
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: kind of um, so I was I wish I want,

898
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: I want the part that got me into the big one.

899
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, pretty much, I said, as a good victory.

900
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was about seven eighth grade, I believe. UM.

901
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: We had a singing competition to McDonald's UH, and I

902
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: was basically how to go against guys and girls and

903
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: my group, my age group where I'm singing against he's

904
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: all over the state of Georgia. UM. And I made

905
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 1: it down to the final UM, I think final twelve,

906
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: and UM ended up. I came. I didn't place, but

907
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: I know just getting there alone in itself was huge.

908
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there was so many kids that showed up.

909
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 1: I think it was about nearly over three to four

910
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:44,879
Speaker 1: hundred fousand kids that showed up, and I was finding

911
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: I was showsing out of those. What was the song

912
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: my song that I sung. It's called as a Praise

913
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: on the Inside by Jay Mass So it was a

914
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: a song that was I used to be able to

915
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: sing that song when I was my voice a little

916
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 1: bit of higher back then. UM. But it was definitely

917
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: that song. And then I had another song about him

918
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 1: as well, UM, what's called we Must Praise that I

919
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: actually sung in the actual official competition, UM, which I

920
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: did pretty good. I'm still in my dif favorite set.

921
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 1: All right, are you still singing from time to time? Now?

922
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: Are you kind of keeping under wraps in the locker room? Yeah,

923
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 1: I kind of keep it under rest, but I think

924
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: what it is now, it's kind of no hide in it,

925
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: So I kind of myself. You hear a song might

926
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 1: be playing and I might just start here humming that

927
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: tune a little bit. Um. But yeah, I mean I

928
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: said at this point, people shouldn't know about now that

929
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,359
Speaker 1: I do sing. You know, if they don't, then that's

930
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: just not a surprised I can just surprise them with it.

931
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: All right. Well, the linebackers on this team can harmonize

932
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: because inside linebacker Zach Cunningham's got a heck of a

933
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 1: voice as well. So yeah, I'm sure you found that

934
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: out or heard about that. You guys, get you guys

935
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: together on a duet sometime hopefully then the winds keep coming.

936
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: So how about that? All right? Three people that you

937
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: are not related to that you'd like to eat at

938
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: dinner with? Who are they? Oh? Man? Uh Denzel first

939
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: of all? Um, Bronck Obama, okay, um, and this one more? Um,

940
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I'm gonna. I want to meet Brocco.

941
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: I'm and Michelle Obama. Okay, that's not a bad one. Yeah,

942
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: the first couple and maybe the best greatest actor living.

943
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: That's that's about my opinion. What's your favorite Denzel movie?

944
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 1: A Man Training Today is It's Tough to be Tough.

945
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 1: It's tough. It's a good choice. Okay. Who's your favorite

946
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: retired NFL player? Mister Dwight Frady? Really? Okay? How come

947
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 1: I like I've known him when I first seen him?

948
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: Because yeah, I think I didn't start playing defensive defensive line.

949
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: I played a little bit in high school. Um, but

950
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 1: I never truly was a defensive I was always a receiver,

951
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: tight end stuff like that. So I didn't watch the

952
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: Lion film until I got pretty much to college. So

953
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: my freshman year of college, that's when I first started

954
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: watching individuals. And I've seen him and I was always known.

955
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 1: He was always known for that notorious spin move, and

956
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: I started the implement that just trying to learn how

957
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: He's the first one. He's a person that really taught

958
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: me to make my first spin move. Um, I never

959
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: knew how to do it, just getting the footwork down

960
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: and understand how to set it up. He was just

961
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: so good at you know, one move, one move, one

962
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: moved to lawyer to sleep, and an all of a

963
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 1: sudden he comes with the spin move in the ice pit.

964
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: So when I first seen, I said, I gotta learn that.

965
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 1: And then that was one of the first like moves

966
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: that I could say, because side swapping your regular one

967
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 1: was the generic, the basic one that they teach him

968
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 1: an individual. But to actually learn how to do a

969
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: pass rush, a spin move and set it up, he

970
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 1: was the first person I've seen that. I was like, Okay,

971
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: I gotta try to And I bet a lot of

972
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: those spin moves that you saw from him were against

973
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: the Texans because the Texans had to see him. Man,

974
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: it was you gave you mad at us take to

975
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: take a hell on man, no no, And you know

976
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: a guy who did not take too many was Dwayne Brown.

977
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: Once he came around, he held his he held his

978
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: own against free. Yeah, he sure is. What's the show

979
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: you loved when you were a little kid? What'd you

980
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,719

00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: When I came home from schools. You know, I was

983
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 1: I just hit the point where it was Blue Schools,

984
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: a little Bill. I'm on PBS kids watching Kayu, the

Speaker 1: are you watching these days? What are your favorites? Oh? Man,

Speaker 1: to catch first take or um, you know, skipping Shannon.

992
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: I like to watch those shows just to just to

993
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: see what their mindst picked their brains a little bit

994
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: and now just hear different perspectives on different things. You know,

995
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 1: they might not be the greatest at times. I kind

996
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: of tune all that out. Just listen to how they're

997
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,959
Speaker 1: how they're going back and forth. That's cool. Uh. Would

998
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 1: you rather be a dragon or own a dragon? Hmm?

999
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 1: I'd rather be a dragon. How come is that? I can't?

1000
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 1: I can't control them, man, But if you classes is

1001
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: open fire and breathe fire on me. So um, if

Speaker 1: I can do all the control everything and I can

1003
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,760

1050
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: to do it, as Drew said, so just know that

1051
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: in spirit will be with one another with hopefully our

1052
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: close family, and that your extended family is, you know,

1053
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 1: having a drink on a zoom meeting late in a

1054
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: day when everybody's a little bit hammered and drunk anyways,

1055
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: and just having a good time because I don't know

1056
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: what this I don't know what this Thanksgiving is gonna be. Like,

1057
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: I've never had to call a game on Thanksgiving before,

1058
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be a little different but fun. Nonetheless,

1059
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: football and Thanksgiving and you gotta have that throwing family.

1060
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: It'll be a little bit later, but Harris family, I think,

1061
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: will do a nice little Thanksgiving rendition later in the

1062
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 1: evening after a trip back from Detroit, hopefully looking forward

1063
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 1: to that. I know, like I said, a lot of

1064
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 1: people aren't gonna be able to get together that normally

1065
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: get together, and I thought to be with all of

1066
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,319
Speaker 1: you at this time, and hopefully we'll get this thing

1067

1069
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:16,399
Speaker 1: can you imagine Saint Patrick's Day? Holy smokes, I don't

1070
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 1: want to think about that during a coronavirus time. And

1071
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: I think last year, I think that's when things got

1072
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: shut down was March seventeenth. Oh good grief. Anyways, I

1073
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,000

1089
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: crank it up. I gotta get everything feeling good for

1090
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: my favorite segment of the week, and it is my

1091
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: NFL pick them, my version of it, which in all honesty,

1092
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: it's just an opportunity to talk about the games, talk

1093
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 1: about everything going on in the league. That's what I

1094
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:45,879
Speaker 1: like to do, and I do it by picking them

1095
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 1: straight up against the spread. You add a competitive component

1096
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:50,240
Speaker 1: to it. That was always a thing when I was coaching.

1097
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: I always wanted a competitive aspect to everything that we did.

1098
00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: So that meant me too. As a coach. I had

1099
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 1: to make things competitive for me as well as much

1100
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: as I made it for the players. And so I

1101
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: like a competitive aspect. I like being competitive, and so

1102
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,840
Speaker 1: that leads me to this week's picks in the NFL

1103
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: straight up and against the spread. Now, I will tell

1104
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: you I missed slightly last night. I missed the over

1105
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: I had written over was written all over that one.

1106
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: But then again, you think, ohay a second, these two

1107
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: teams Okay, just when you're thinking it's the over, the

1108
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 1: over is pretty high. Think it was like fifty seven.

1109
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: These guys played twenty eight twenty one. So I would

1110
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: have missed that, but I would have given you the

1111
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: winner because I did have the Seahawks winning that thing

1112
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: at home after blowing one in Arizona a few weeks prior.

1113
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: On Sunday Night, the Seahawks held on got a twenty

1114
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: eight twenty one win. That puts the Seahawks at seven

1115
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: and three. The Cardinals are six and four, would be

1116
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: five and five and then not pulled off the hill, Mary,

1117
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 1: So congratulations to them that they're six and four and

1118
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: still in the mix. And then we'll get to another

1119
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,439
Speaker 1: game that's gonna play a big role in the NFC West.

1120
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: I'll take place Monday night down in Tampa. And by

1121
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,439
Speaker 1: the way, at J Harris Football that's my Twitter handle,

1122
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: and bring up Tampa made me think of something. Over

1123
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: the last five years, I've become pretty good friends with

1124
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: Sal Capaccio, silid reporter for the Buffalo Bills. He usually

1125
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: live in Florida, so he made connections with TJ. Reeves,

1126
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: who is a silode reporter for the Bucks and last night,

1127
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: the three of us got on the air together through

1128
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 1: Sal's radio station w g r UP in Buffalo, and

1129
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: we just started sharing stories from the sidelines and it

1130
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: was absolutely fantastic. You go check out my Twitter handle,

1131
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 1: you'll see it. We talked for a good long time.

1132
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: TJ took a little while to get on there, so

1133
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,439
Speaker 1: I kind of kind of took over the first twenty

1134
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: minutes or so, and then we had some great stories.

1135
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: I think most of them you've heard. There will be

1136
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 1: two or three you never hear. But that's, you know,

1137
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 1: some things that got to stay sacred, so to speak.

1138
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 1: But go check that out. And TJ's got a big

1139
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: one on Monday night. They got the Buccaneers in the Rams.

1140
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: So the NFC West, that was a big one last night. Seahawks.

1141
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: I would have given you the winner, and I would

1142
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: have given it to you against the spread because the

1143
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 1: Seahawks favor about three. I would have picked the Seahawks

1144
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: to win and to cover. Now, what about the rest

1145
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: of the league. All right, queue with my music, maestro,

1146
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: and let's go. Here we go, and we'll go right

1147
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: back to the town in which we played last week, Cleveland, Ohio,

1148
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: oh Cleveland you were so mean to us. That weather,

1149
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 1: oh dreadful, and by dreadful, oh my god, it was awful.

1150
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 1: The fans were fine, they were fine. In fact, they

1151
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 1: they're trying to have communications with me up in the

1152
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 1: stands because I had to come out of my moat

1153
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 1: and I walked up and so the first level is

1154
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: kind of covered, and so I stood under there and

1155
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: kind of watched the rain and the weather and everything,

1156
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: and was on the air the whole time with Andrea

1157
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: and Mark back here in Houston. So the Browns fans

1158
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: were good. They were good, I gotta say, And they're

1159
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 1: gonna feel even better because they're gonna get a win

1160
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Now one big caveat,

1161
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: but I think the Browns will overcome it, and that

1162
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: is that Miles Garrett is out of this game with COVID.

1163
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 1: He has been put on the COVID nineteen list. He

1164
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: will not play. That could have really helped us last

1165
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: week without Miles Garrett. He made two massive plays in

1166
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: that game. Who knows they get they go to the

1167
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: other direction first. I mean I know one play for sure.

1168
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: If if Miles Garrett isn't there, Sean probably scores in

1169
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 1: that quarterback draw. Now you take a seven three lead,

1170
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: who knows what happens in that particular game. And then

1171
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,479
Speaker 1: he had a sack earlier on in the game. Miles

1172
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 1: Garrett's a thorn in the side. He will not play.

1173
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: That will be a problem, and it would be a

1174
01:00:56,240 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: bigger problem if it weren't the Eagles on the other side. Now,

1175
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 1: the Eagles are gonna run the ball, Miles Sanders and

1176
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 1: I think the Browns are actually pretty good up front

1177
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 1: to be able to handle that. But Carson wentz Hays

1178
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 1: sort of dipped his game. I don't know what's happened

1179
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 1: to him, but it's part of a big reason why

1180
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles are just three five and one. This would

1181
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 1: be a huge victory for the Eagles. If the Eagles

1182
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 1: could get it to get to four five and one,

1183
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 1: that Washington football I'm sorry the Giants who will get

1184
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 1: to next week because the Giants are gonna buy Man

1185
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: a win gets into four five and one, that removes

1186
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: them from the Giants. They both have three wins right now.

1187
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: They remove them even further from the Washington football team

1188
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys. A win here for the Eagles would

1189
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:51,439
Speaker 1: put them in a perfect spot to an NFC East

1190
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: But it's not gonna happen. The Browns are gonna get

1191
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: this win at home, even without Miles Garrett Olivia. Vernon's

1192
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 1: gonna step up, have some big plays out on the

1193
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 1: edge and the Browns. It a close win. Now the

1194
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: spreadish three, and it always worries me, but I think

1195
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 1: the Browns would get this one by four or more.

1196
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: That two headed monster Nick Chubb and Cream Hunt in

1197
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: the run game, it's the old adage of chipping away

1198
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: at the rock, chipping away, chipping away, chipping away, chipping away,

1199
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 1: and finally you may not get there in the first

1200
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 1: thousand swings, but that thousand and first swing may break

1201
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 1: it wide open. It's exactly what happened to us, and

1202
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: they will do that to the Eagles by more than three.

1203
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 1: Cleveland wins and covers. Falcons take on the Saints and

1204
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: we talked about this one last night with TJ. He

1205
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 1: is a silent reporter for the Tampa By Buccaneers. He's

1206
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 1: been there for a while, so he was there for

1207
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: the Rehem Moorish years in Tampa Bay. He's also been

1208
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: there for the Jamis Winston years when he was in

1209
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, and it looked like Jameis Winston of the

1210
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 1: Saints was gonna face Ree Morris as the interim head

1211
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 1: coach for the Atlanta Falcons. Well, Reem Morris is still

1212
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 1: the coach of the Falcons at least for now, but

1213
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: it looks like Taysom Hill is going to art in

1214
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 1: place of Drew Brees. Now. The Saints have a very high,

1215
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 1: I think higher than should be financial involvement in Taysom

1216
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: Hill's career. He's making a lot of cache. Jameis Winson's

1217
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 1: making about a million, a little over a million, so

1218
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 1: I get it kind of Taysom Hill's not I don't think.

1219
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 1: I just don't understand where they think he is going

1220
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 1: to be a quarterback in the NFL. He's perfect for

1221
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 1: what he is. He's a Taysom Hill player. He does

1222
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. That's what he needs to be.

1223
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: He doesn't need to be a quarterback. I think you're

1224
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: actually hurting yourself by not playing Jamis, not having Taysom

1225
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 1: Hill in that regular position, whether it's wildcat, quarterback, tight end,

1226
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver, running back. I think you could play Jamis

1227
01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: and Taysom Hill together, probably put them the Falcons in

1228
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: a rough spot. That said, it is the Falcons and

1229
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: the game is down in New Orleans, so I'm trusting

1230
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: that the Saints will pull us one out. The spread

1231
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: is down to three and a half because the Falcons

1232
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: half played pretty well. They've won three out of four

1233
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: with Raheem Morris, it should be four out of four.

1234
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: Of Todd Gurley didn't score against the Allions. The Falcons

1235
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 1: will keep it close for a while, but in the end,

1236
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 1: whether it's Hill, whether it's Winston, it's Alvin Kamara, and

1237
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: Kamara will take them to the Promised Land and win

1238
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 1: this one by more than three and a half. The

1239
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 1: Saints will move to eight and two. The Bengals take

1240
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 1: on Washington two six and one, going against two and

1241
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: seven lether Than sound overly exciting on the surface, but

1242
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:38,919
Speaker 1: then you go, hey, the Bengals have got Joey Burrow.

1243
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: He's fun to watch. If you have not watched the

1244
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 1: Bengals game this year, man put one into the VCR

1245
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 1: and check it out. Joey Burrow, it's fun to watch.

1246
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen the Washington football team, well, you're

1247
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: missing one of the better defenses in the league. But

1248
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 1: You're also missing a one of the better young receivers

1249
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: in the league. Row up right in front of your eyes.

1250
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: That's Terry McLaurin B or two. You can't remember how

1251
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: he started this. You're missing Alex Smith. Alex Smith coming

1252
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 1: back from that injury he suffered against US in twenty

1253
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: eighteen and all the surgeries and everything that he's done

1254
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 1: to get back. Just seeing that man back on a

1255
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: football team is unbelievable, and then seeing him throw for

1256
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: three hundred plus yards is incredible. I'd like to see

1257
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 1: him put it in the end zone. Washington's favorite by

1258
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 1: point and a half. I do think that Washington'll win

1259
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 1: this one and one and a half is not enough

1260
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: to dissuade me away from the spread. So we're gonna

1261
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 1: take the Washington football team to get to three and

1262
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: seven tied with the Giants. After the Eagles lose and

1263
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:43,920
Speaker 1: follow the three six and one, there will be a

1264
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 1: half game that separates the Giants and the Washington football

1265
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:49,919
Speaker 1: team and the Eagles and NFC East. Oh my god,

1266
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 1: and Washington will cover that spread and Alex Smith will

1267
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 1: get a win. I kind of want to see him. Okay.

1268
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 1: Lions Panthers four and five against three and seven. Now

1269
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 1: the Panthers, their play has started to dip a little

1270
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 1: bit under Matt Rule. But I think Matt rule was

1271
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 1: the best thing that Dave Pepper could have done for

1272
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: that organization. I think Matt Rule wants things normalize, if

1273
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:20,439
Speaker 1: that's even possible in this world anymore. I think Matt

1274
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 1: Rule is going to be the absolute, without question, a

1275
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: number one guy in Carolina. He is the right fit

1276
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: for that organization, no doubt. Now is Teddy Bridgewater gonna

1277
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 1: be that guy for the Sunday that's the key that

1278
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: knee injury. I don't know. He has said. I'm not

1279
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 1: ruling anything out. Detroit's favored by two on the road

1280
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 1: in large part because Vegas does not think it's going

1281
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 1: to be Teddy Bridgewater. If it's will Greer run to

1282
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 1: Vegas and tell them you're taking Detroit and you're laying

1283
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 1: to points. But if Teddy Bridgewater's playing, I wouldn't say

1284
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:02,320
Speaker 1: run to Vegas. But I'm taking Carolina. So there's my caveat.

1285
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: If Teddy B plays, taking Panthers to win it cover.

1286
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 1: If Teddy B's not playing, I'm taking Lions on the

1287
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: road to win and to cover. Steelers go down to

1288
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:20,160
Speaker 1: Duval County, newon kick one o'clock kick in Jacksonville and

1289
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 1: hasn't been going exceeding well for Jacksonville. But the Jaguars

1290
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: went to Green Bay and lobbed some haymakers at the

1291
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 1: Packers and had that thing close. They actually had a

1292
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 1: lead in the fourth quarter, but the Packers put one more,

1293
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 1: scoring a board one that thing twenty four to twenty.

1294
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 1: The Steelers have typically gone down to Duval County and struggled.

1295
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking all the way back to the Jaguars beginning

1296
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen playoffs. That's actually twenty seventeen season. Jacksonville beat

1297
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh twice, actually both of them up in Pittsburgh, but

1298
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh has struggled in Duval County. There have been some

1299
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 1: close games over the years that should have never been close.

1300
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 1: This one, the spread is ten and a half. I

1301
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 1: think the Jaguars get inside that ten and a half.

1302
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 1: I can't believe what I'm saying that, but I think

1303
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers end up getting the win. Now, I'm not

1304
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 1: going out on a limb saying this theater is getting

1305
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: to win. Maybe out on a limb thinking the Jaguars

1306
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 1: are gonna get inside that ten and a half. I

1307
01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 1: just think freaky things happen when those two teams play

1308
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. Chris Hudson, I remember, I think it

1309
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,559
Speaker 1: was nineteen ninety seven. I think it was that year,

1310
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: maybe maybe ninety eight. Chris Hudson had a picked up

1311
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 1: a few goal block for the Jaguars, started running it

1312
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,599
Speaker 1: back and Bill Cayro was shown on a field like almost,

1313
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 1: you know, faking like he was gonna go punch Chris Hudson.

1314
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 1: There's been some wild stuff between these two teams. Jaguars lose,

1315
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 1: but Jaguars will cover that ten and a half. Okay,

1316
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 1: this one you're talking about physical matchups. This one on

1317
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: the surface has it Titans v Ravens in Baltimore on

1318
01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: the surface. Like I said this after Sunday Night, after

1319
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:06,680
Speaker 1: last year, I guarantee you there is no game that

1320
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: John Harball and the Ravens want more than this one

1321
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 1: against the Tennessee Titans. You do remember Tennessee knocking out

1322
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: Baltimore out of last year's Division Around playoffs fourteen and two.

1323
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: Team got the world by the you know what, and

1324
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,599
Speaker 1: the Titans come in there all fat and happy, after

1325
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 1: beating the Patriots, they got no chance and the Ravens

1326
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 1: get drilled. The Ravens will not get drilled in this one.

1327
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 1: They're favored by six. They'll win this by fourteen. They're

1328
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:39,760
Speaker 1: gonna win this thing. Twenty nine fifteen. How about that,

1329
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:43,679
Speaker 1: Ravens with a two touchdown win over the Titans. Patriots

1330
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: taken on Texans, New England's favored by two. It's not

1331
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 1: a big shock. Patriots with two wins in a row.

1332
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: You know, I never picked this one. Go against my

1333
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 1: heart in my head, so I don't do that. So

1334
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 1: I will jump to a three h five game taking

1335
01:09:56,720 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 1: place in Denver, where to a tongue of koa has

1336
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: got a winning streak going. He's got three in a row.

1337
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 1: They made this decision at the bye week at three

1338
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 1: and three. Brian Flores did and he put two into

1339
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 1: the lineup. Now, part of the reason has been rumored

1340
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:18,679
Speaker 1: is that the Texans, because it was such a rough season,

1341
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,639
Speaker 1: because the Texans were flaming out, the Dolphins were gonna

1342
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: have a pretty high first round pick. They needed to

1343
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 1: know what they had into a Tonga violoa. That's still

1344
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:31,600
Speaker 1: kind of the case, but I think they're finding what

1345
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:33,640
Speaker 1: they have a too, a tong of violoa they like,

1346
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be enough. Miami's favored by

1347
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: three and a half on the road against the Broncos.

1348
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: Drew Locked through all kinds of interceptions last week. I

1349
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 1: think he's banged up. Even if they're not saying it,

1350
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 1: it's been a tough go for Vic Fangio. They've had

1351
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 1: some games they should have won. It looked like they

1352
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 1: were turning the corner with Drew Lock coming in a

1353
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 1: lineup last year. This year started just they had an

1354
01:10:57,960 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 1: opportunity to beat the Titans right out of the shoot

1355
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 1: and do it, and the season's kind of gone that

1356
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 1: way in Denver. It continues that way. I think the

1357
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 1: Dolphins go out to Denver, they get the win and

1358
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 1: they barely cover. This is seventeen thirteen written all over

1359
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 1: this sucker. That's what this one's gonna be. But it's

1360
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 1: going to be the Miami Dolphins getting that win. The

1361
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 1: Jets taken on the Chargers. Will the Jets get a

1362
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: win this year? Vegas says no. The Chargers favored by

1363
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: nine and a half. I agree. It doesn't matter who

1364
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 1: is played quarterback right now for the Jets where they're

1365
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:37,600
Speaker 1: Sam Donald Joe Flacco, the Chargers will make mincemeat of

1366
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:40,639
Speaker 1: them out so far and get their third win of

1367
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 1: the year. I'd like to see the Chargers win a

1368
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:44,719
Speaker 1: few more games this year, maybe get on a little

1369
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:46,799
Speaker 1: bit of a run, because I'd like to see Anthony

1370
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 1: Lynn stay out there. Love his son Danton Lynn here

1371
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:52,679
Speaker 1: with the Texans, but just watching hard knocks, knowing about

1372
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn, I just would like to see that guy

1373
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 1: as the leader of men, because I think he's a

1374
01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 1: really good leader of men. They could just finish a

1375
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 1: ball game right now, they'd be five and four, but

1376
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 1: they're not. But there will be three and seven after

1377
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:09,960
Speaker 1: this one, beating beating the Jets and covering that nine

1378
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 1: and a half a three twenty five game on Fox

1379
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: that we will have our eyes on. Even though and

1380
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,679
Speaker 1: we're not quite in the ANFC South race at this point,

1381
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 1: we do like to see the Colts get beat and

1382
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:25,760
Speaker 1: we do like to see the Colts get beat by

1383
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. The Colts are favored by a

1384
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:32,480
Speaker 1: point and a half now. They haven't played since last Thursday,

1385
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 1: so they've had a good time off celebrating that win

1386
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:39,720
Speaker 1: over the Titans, and I guarantee if Frank Reich is

1387
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 1: not about to let them get complacent. But watching the

1388
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 1: Colts that night, I was a little scared. I gotta

1389
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 1: be honest. I shuddered at what the Colts could do defensively.

1390
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 1: The Packers will find out. I'm going with the Colts

1391
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 1: to win and to cover at home against green Bay.

1392
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 1: I think if green Bay doesn't find a second passing threat,

1393
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 1: green Bay's not going to be able to compete with

1394
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 1: the Heavies in the NFC, and they definitely won't play

1395
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: against the Colts without a guy beyond Demante Adams. I'm

1396
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: going Colts to win and to cover that point and

1397
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: a half. Sunday afternoon, Cowboys Vikings Minnesota favored by seven.

1398
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 1: That's not enough. Minnesota should win this one by ten

1399
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 1: or more. Dalvin Cook is maybe the best running back

1400
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:31,639
Speaker 1: in the league. You can argue that with other guys,

1401
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 1: but he has been fantastic. I think the Vikings will

1402
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 1: hammer the Cowboys and send the Cowboys to and eight.

1403
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 1: The Chiefs taken on the Raiders. Remember earlier this year

1404
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:48,800
Speaker 1: the Raiders beat the Chiefs by eight in Kansas City.

1405
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 1: The spread is eight Kansas City's favored in Las Vegas.

1406
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:56,960
Speaker 1: I think the Raiders will play well in this one.

1407
01:13:57,479 --> 01:13:59,559
Speaker 1: I think they've gotten kind of COVID issues. I don't

1408
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 1: know if probably back completely or not, but I do

1409
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:04,960
Speaker 1: think they're kind of getting it back, kind of got

1410
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 1: their sea legs back underneath them. I just don't think

1411
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders are going to win this one. They will cover,

1412
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 1: they will get inside that eight, but the Chiefs will

1413
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 1: win and move to nine and one, which leads us

1414
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:22,719
Speaker 1: to a Monday night game. NFC West NFC South leaders

1415
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:26,439
Speaker 1: not quite leaders in those divisions because the Buccaneers lost

1416
01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:29,760
Speaker 1: the Saints twice, but the Rams going into last night

1417
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 1: we're tied. They need a win to stay with the Seahawks,

1418
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: but I don't think they will get it. Tampa Bay,

1419
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:41,360
Speaker 1: favored by four, will get the win and barely get

1420
01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 1: the cover. I think this is right out of This

1421
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:45,880
Speaker 1: feels like a twenty eight twenty four kind of game,

1422
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 1: and I don't think it gets beyond that. I think

1423
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 1: defenses are good enough, but I do think in that case,

1424
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 1: I will give Tampa Bay the win and the cover.

1425
01:14:55,479 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 1: All Right, That's gonna do it for your games around

1426
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 1: the NFL this week. When we get back. It's Drew's

1427
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 1: final word and I mentioned this week the tight ends

1428
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 1: they're gonna play a big role, and that means Jordan

1429
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:10,639
Speaker 1: Nakens He's gonna play a big role and he'll play

1430
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 1: a big role in Drew's final work because that's who

1431
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 1: Drew talked to. That's next on Texans Access we go

1432
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 1: on funnal segment of this Friday edition of Texans All Access.

1433
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, football analyston Southern Reporter. Appreciate

1434
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,919
Speaker 1: you being with me, as I know you guys always

1435
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 1: are on these Friday night shows. It's always great to

1436
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:35,719
Speaker 1: be able to do my picks, talk about the keys,

1437
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:38,320
Speaker 1: give you all these great interviews, and just talk Texans

1438
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 1: football as we get ready for one on Sunday against

1439
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:43,759
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. And look, we know how important

1440
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 1: this one is. It always is for some reason. These

1441
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:51,759
Speaker 1: two teams have now I you know, they're they're linked

1442
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 1: in some way and probably will be for a while now.

1443
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:56,719
Speaker 1: They were linked for a while because they were both

1444
01:15:57,560 --> 01:15:59,680
Speaker 1: first placed teams in their division and so they were

1445
01:15:59,720 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 1: playing in playoff games and they've been playing each year

1446
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:05,679
Speaker 1: because of that, and they've put together some incredible games.

1447
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 1: Twenty seventeen was one of the best football games I've

1448
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 1: ever seen. Twenty nineteen was one of my most fun

1449
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 1: nights doing the job that I do. Watching the Texans

1450
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:18,680
Speaker 1: play at that level on a Sunday night was just incredible.

1451
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things about you know, having

1452
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 1: a Sunday night game. Now you wonder what what are

1453
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:25,519
Speaker 1: Alan Chris saying about? You? Man? What are they saying

1454
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 1: about your team? And so by that game is going on,

1455
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:31,400
Speaker 1: I'm envisioning, you know, the things they're talking about on

1456
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: the air, and it was it was cool, and then

1457
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:36,680
Speaker 1: you heard what they had to say and it was

1458
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 1: probably about right what I was taking. So looking forward

1459
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:42,479
Speaker 1: to this one on Sunday. Now, before we get to

1460
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 1: Drew's final word, I've got to find all my Houston

1462
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 1: know that you do tremendous work, but I know it

1463
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 1: could be exhausting trying to find all of the different

1464
01:16:56,200 --> 01:17:01,439
Speaker 1: you know, placards and study cards and all those different

1465
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 1: things that you need. So I'm gonna help you out,

1466
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 1: especially as it pertains to math. Just can't find that

1467
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:12,240
Speaker 1: stuff all the time. You need toros Matros Toros Matrios

1468
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 1: is a video series designed to help third and fourth

1469
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:18,599
Speaker 1: graders that are not tackle math in the classroom. It's

1470
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 1: brought to you by Conico Phillips. They're the great group

1471
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: that puts this together for you. And all you gotta

1472
01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 1: do is go to Houston, Texas dot com slash Toros

1475
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 1: and your kids are learning math. It's that simple. Now,

1476
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 1: a guy that learned math a long time ago, it's

1477
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 1: pretty good at it is. Jordan Aikins joined the team

1478
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: MAC in twenty eighteen. Is a twenty five year old

1479
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 1: rookie who had played in the minor leagues. He was drafted,

1480
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:54,840
Speaker 1: played I think for three years, decided he wasn't done

1481
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 1: with football, went to UCF, had a tremendous final season

1482
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, caught everybody's attention, went down to the

1483
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:05,040
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl, was coached by the Texans, got their attention,

1484
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 1: Texans drafted him, and he has continued to make plays

1485
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:14,639
Speaker 1: for this team ever since. Jordan Nakins is the subject

1486
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 1: of our Final Word this week with Drew Doherty. Thank

1487
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 1: you so much, fellas. We've got tight end Jordan Aikins

1488
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 1: with us now. Jordan, it's always good to talk with you.

1489
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:26,000
Speaker 1: The Patriots are in town and we'll get to them

1490
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 1: in just a moment, but let's talk first about optimism

1491
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 1: and optimism when you're two and seven. It's not where

1492
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:33,679
Speaker 1: the Texans want to be at this point, but there's

1493
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 1: still a lot to play for, right, Yeah, definitely, man,

1494
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, start out like we wanted to go. You know,

1495
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:42,760
Speaker 1: we put on pieces together and stay positive and play

1496
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:44,840
Speaker 1: if I want to know then and the coaches solf.

1497
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:47,519
Speaker 1: You know, hopefully we start winning some games. Now. You

1498
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:50,640
Speaker 1: never want to blame a performance on the weather, but

1499
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 1: certainly weather played a factor in how the offense was

1500
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 1: able to get going. Last Sunday, You'll be in NRG Stadium.

1501
01:18:57,600 --> 01:18:59,799
Speaker 1: Whether the roof's open or closed. You know, the weather

1502
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 1: is not going to be a factor for you. So

1503
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 1: how excited are you guys after what you've been doing

1504
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,280
Speaker 1: leading up to the Cleveland game to get back home.

1505
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm very excited man. You know, who've been practicing hard

1508
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:19,680
Speaker 1: getting ready to use it to out advantage. You know,

1509
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:22,080
Speaker 1: last week, like you said, whether you know, it was tough,

1510
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: but you know as part of the game, and then

1511
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:25,880
Speaker 1: a gie wood bet a penny's back and you know,

1512
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 1: let it go. You know, run the ball as well

1513
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: as pass the ball. So you know, hopefully all aspects

1514
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 1: of the game to be one point, especially teams as well.

1515
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 1: They play a good game last week as well, so

1516
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:38,720
Speaker 1: you know, you just come out with a w I

1517
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:40,439
Speaker 1: like it, and I like what you just said about

1518
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 1: getting in one on ones with Deshaun Watson because I

1519
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 1: think there's an assumption sometimes from some people that well,

1520
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 1: he just goes out there and he does some magic

1521
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:51,680
Speaker 1: in bang bang Bang's he's a great player. But you

1522
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 1: guys put in a lot of work outside of the

1523
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 1: confines of practice, don't you. Yeah, definitely in his offense,

1524
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 1: just have to stale lot players never did and dufour

1525
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:02,680
Speaker 1: is back there, and so you know, even if you

1526
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 1: do have a good court around, just tell live because

1527
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:06,160
Speaker 1: you never know what dfour can do, you know, looking

1528
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:08,200
Speaker 1: at words even and go to you on the move,

1529
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,120
Speaker 1: you know, not even looking at you. So you know,

1530
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 1: just keep your eyes up. And I think that one

1531
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:15,519
Speaker 1: on one connection with him is important because you know,

1532
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 1: we get on the same page and certain certain coverages.

1533
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:20,640
Speaker 1: You know, we know what to do well on the

1534
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:22,920
Speaker 1: same page. So you know, instead of running around exactly

1535
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 1: like it is on paper, you know, it can kind

1536
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:28,760
Speaker 1: of go offer hey. On an individual level, you miss

1537
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:31,880
Speaker 1: some time there. Now you're back in the offense. How

1538
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:33,640
Speaker 1: are you doing, how are you feeling? What are your

1539
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 1: goals for the remainder of the season. On an individual level,

1540
01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:39,639
Speaker 1: we know wins is at the top of everyone's priority list,

1541
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:42,559
Speaker 1: but individually, what are you looking to do? Just coming

1542
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 1: back in you know, give my feedback away the last

1543
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 1: two games, caught a cold passages, you know, Mason blocks.

1544
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 1: Just coming back getting back included in stretch teams as well.

1545
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:53,000
Speaker 1: Just coming back, making a big place for the team.

1546
01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:55,640
Speaker 1: Anyone can help, if it's setting a block, making a

1547
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:57,639
Speaker 1: big time catch, you know, breaking a couple of tackles.

1548
01:20:57,680 --> 01:20:59,920
Speaker 1: On here to do whatever I can so you'll come back,

1549
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 1: I can. You know, have all starters together and when

1550
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 1: we get on, when we get a rhythm, it's kind

1551
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 1: of hard to stop us. So you know, we get

1552
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:07,960
Speaker 1: that rhythm back and we just marched the ball out

1553
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 1: the field and you know put us some points. Yeah,

1554
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 1: you're looking to get that rhythm back against the Patriots

1555
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:16,160
Speaker 1: team that is four and five. It's unfamiliar territory for

1556
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 1: folks in New England. We know about the offense, we

1557
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:21,360
Speaker 1: know about Cam Newton that gets the lion's share of

1558
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: the attention. But looking at their front seven on the defense, Jordan,

1559
01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:26,559
Speaker 1: what are your first impressions of them? What do you think?

1560
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:30,280
Speaker 1: Good hands, very strong, they make plays. You know, they

1561
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:33,599
Speaker 1: called hoes. You know they rushed the quarterback, so they

1562
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:36,559
Speaker 1: are strong. Seven, They can you know, they got speed,

1563
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:38,760
Speaker 1: they got power. So you know, we have to come

1564
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 1: without a game, just as if it's you know, anybody

1565
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:43,599
Speaker 1: were coming out a game. We come ready to play

1566
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:45,519
Speaker 1: and we'll make the plays that we need to make.

1567
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,760
Speaker 1: That secondary has some experience back there with McCardy and

1568
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:51,400
Speaker 1: then you got j. C. Jackson. It's got six interceptions

1569
01:21:51,439 --> 01:21:53,719
Speaker 1: this year. What have you seen from their past defense?

1570
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: Very strong ball skills, they quit, they react to the ball,

1571
01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 1: they flot to the ball as well, you know, and

1572
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 1: they're not scared to lay ahead. So gonna be a

1573
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 1: great challenge. We have great speed as well. We have

1574
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 1: power as well, we have speed. So we're gonna see

1575
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 1: how it goes. And you know, made the best men

1576
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 1: went all right, Jordan Nakins, It's always good to talk

1577
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:12,680
Speaker 1: with you. Look forward to seeing you out there on

1578
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 1: Sunday at Energy Stadium against the Patriots. Best of luck,

1579
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:19,400
Speaker 1: take care and we'll talk to again really soon. Thank

1580
01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:22,880
Speaker 1: you for having me. There is Jordan Aikins in his

1581
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:26,600
Speaker 1: third year with the Houston Texans and a guy that

1582
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 1: I think could play a major role in this game

1583
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:33,760
Speaker 1: against the New England Patriots. You remember last year the

1584
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 1: Texans had given up the field goal early. Robie got

1585
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 1: the touchdown the pick I almost called pick six, give

1586
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 1: him a touchdown, but he tripped. But she's still mad

1587
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:45,920
Speaker 1: about and then he got a flag and so they

1588
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:48,600
Speaker 1: pushed the ball back. Texans on a third down hit

1589
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:51,240
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson took a lead seven three. When they went

1590
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 1: back down the field, they got the ball down inside

1591
01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 1: the red zone and they put all three tight ends

1592
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 1: out on the field, Aikins, Jordan Thomas at the time,

1593
01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:04,759
Speaker 1: and Darren Fells, and they ran their RPO package hit Fells.

1594
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 1: Aikins was running the wheel route up the sideline. He

1595
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 1: would have been opened on that route as well, but

1596
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:12,720
Speaker 1: Deshaun just flipped it out the Fells. He gets in

1597
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 1: the end zone. Texas take a fourteen to three lead,

1598
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 1: and it looked like everything at that point was now

1599
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 1: pointed in the direction to Houston. Texans. Texas can do

1600
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:24,880
Speaker 1: a lot with these tight ends, and I think that

1601
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 1: ends up being an opportunity to Texas need to take

1602
01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:31,719
Speaker 1: advantage of. Now. The Patriots do have some athletic guys

1603
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 1: to run with, to hang with to cover the Texans

1604
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 1: tight ends, and I think that's gonna be key. Also

1605
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier, the tighter the better, meaning utilize the

1606
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:45,639
Speaker 1: tight ends. Make the Patriots have to try and match

1607
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 1: personnel with you and put Aikins out there and see

1608
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 1: how they match up. If you have Aikins and Fells

1609
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:53,439
Speaker 1: out there, my guess is they're gonna try and put

1610
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:59,800
Speaker 1: some linebacker type, maybe a heavy safety on Fells, and

1611
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:02,200
Speaker 1: then they're gonna leave Akins and probably try and put

1612
01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 1: a guy like Kyle Dugger on him a safety, but

1613
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,840
Speaker 1: it's big safety, a safety I can run a guy

1614
01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:09,719
Speaker 1: they really like. I think that's an advantage for the Texans,

1615
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 1: even though Duggers won heck of an athlete. That's how

1616
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:13,800
Speaker 1: they might do it. They might try and put a

1617
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 1: guy like Devin mccordy, a great cover guy in Jordan Nakins.

1618
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:20,760
Speaker 1: So try it out. What happens when you put these

1619
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 1: tight ends on the field. What happens when you put

1620
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:25,160
Speaker 1: all three them on the field. Last year you got

1621
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:27,680
Speaker 1: any end zone using an RPO package. Maybe you don't

1622
01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:29,400
Speaker 1: get in the end zone, but maybe you find something

1623
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 1: by putting them all out there. And Aikins becomes the

1624
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 1: one guy that's really difficult to match up with. Because

1625
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 1: Pharaoh's a big, thick, fast guy. Akins is a little

1626
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:43,519
Speaker 1: bit more swift in route running, getting down the field

1627
01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:46,479
Speaker 1: and those kind of things. So it's gonna be interesting

1628
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:49,680
Speaker 1: to me that what the tight ends pull off with

1629
01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:53,720
Speaker 1: the tight ends accomplish on Sunday, and how the Patriots

1630
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 1: go about accounting for them. Looking across the field last

1631
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 1: Sunday or last year on Sunday night, well it looked

1632
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 1: like they were lost. They weren't sure what they needed

1633
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:06,080
Speaker 1: to do. And hopefully that's the case on Sunday now.

1634
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it is. I think the Patriots will

1635
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 1: be ready for anything the Texans have, but that tight

1636
01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:13,559
Speaker 1: end package I think could end up being a very

1637
01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:16,639
Speaker 1: very good one to use. A big thanks to everybody

1638
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:20,280
Speaker 1: who was part of this show. This evening, Mark Vandamer

1639
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:23,160
Speaker 1: sat down with Romeo Cornell. We'll have all this up

1640
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 1: at Houston Texans dot com. Go to podcast page and

1641
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:28,639
Speaker 1: you'll get everything there if you missed it, But thank

1642
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:32,200
Speaker 1: Mark and Rack for stopping by DP and CJ. Procie.

1643
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:35,000
Speaker 1: That was our deep Slant one on one sponsored by Xfinity.

1644
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:38,599
Speaker 1: That was our interview of the week. John Grenard stopped

1645
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:43,680
Speaker 1: by to handle Drew Doherty's dozen questions. Drew's dozen can

1646
01:25:43,720 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 1: always go a little sideways. I thought John Grenard handled

1647
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 1: it like a veteran and also Drew had the final

1648
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:54,800

Speaker 1: Nearly three billion people worldwide live in energy poverty, meaning

1662
01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:43,679
Speaker 1: they lack access to reliable electricity or clean cooking fuels.

1663
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,760
