1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and good evening. Welcome to the program that

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: keeps you up to date with your Houston Texans. It's

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: Texans All Access here from the Hunday Texans Radio studio

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: and John McLean is in the house from the Houston Chronicle.

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: As we count down to game day the Texans and

6
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: the Patriots from Foxboro Sunday noon kickoff. General, how are

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: you doing today? Mark four years? And every time, every

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: year at this time, I feel like a kid getting

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: ready to go back to school. I always loved the

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: first day, in the last day, nothing in between. But

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: I was always fired up for school. And that's the

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: way I am now and never it never gets old.

13
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: They can't. I mean, this is what it's all about. Here.

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 1: You're opening the season at New England and the Texans

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: don't open on the road much. Last time they did

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: this was twenty thirteen and the Monday night or against

17
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: San Diego at the time, now the La Chargers. But

18
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: here are the Patriots, John, and I really feel like

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: there's no better time to get them than right now

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: when they're not maybe set, and maybe you're not as

21
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: set as you will be, but rip off the band

22
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: aid and open up against the AFC's best. Tell you

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: this about the Texans. They're healthy, gonna be the healthiest

24
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: they'll be all season because guys are gonna get banged

25
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: up and Patriots have new tackles, they have a lot

26
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: of new receivers. They have a lot of issues on offense.

27
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: Brought seven's good. Secondary. I'm not sure, but I agree

28
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do it, this is the time. Now

29
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: are you with me on this general because I really

30
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: feel like, yeah, they have some offensive issues, but you

31
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: still have to sort of not assume. But don't be

32
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: surprised if they put up four touchdowns. I mean, this

33
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: is what they do. They scored thirty and twenty seven

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: points and their two losses in the early part of

35
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: last season, and they scored thirty three points in a

36
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl loss. They went thirteen and three, and they're

37
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: awesome on offense. They always find a way to get

38
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: it done. Their average offensive finish in points per game

39
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: is three and a half in the last twelve years.

40
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they put it up last year. They got

41
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: blown out opener buck Kansas City, and then they finished

42
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: thirteen and three. People talking about Brady, is this gonna

43
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: be the last year is he gonna be as good

44
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: He threw for over five hundred yards in the Super Bowl,

45
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: the last time he's on the field. I haven't seen

46
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: or heard anything that makes me think that he's gonna

47
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: let up, other than maybe the talent around him. You know,

48
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis is gone. He's got Danny Amandola gone. Julian

49
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: Edelman suspended. Brandon Cooks, who caught the winning touchdown pass

50
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: last season against the Texans, He's gone. It's almost like

51
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: he should be offended that Bill Belichick doesn't do more

52
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: to put talent at the skilled positions for him, as

53
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: Bill Polian used to do with Peyton Manning. Imagine what

54
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: he could do if every year their first round pick

55
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: was a wide receiver, tight end or running back to

56
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: way it was an indie. Yeah, he could do a

57
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: lot of damage. And it's amazing how he turns guys

58
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: into stars, if you will, that aren't necessarily that. Chris

59
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: Hogan great example. Who is it gonna be this year?

60
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: It's it gonna be Anthony Door, said Cornell Patterson. There's

61
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: those one more, Well, one of those guys emerge. It

62
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter about them. Tell you the truth that

63
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: manages about Gronkowski, and you know James White's gonna get

64
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: targeted ten times. The Gronk and White are gonna be

65
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: and Hogan the primary receivers. And I can't wait to

66
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: see what strategy Romeo Cornell has for those guys. Who's

67
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: gonna cover White? Is gonna be Zach Cunningham's gonna be

68
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: Tyring Matthew. I can't imagine Matthew at five night in

69
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: one eighty five could cover Gronkowski, you know, body him

70
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: on the shoulder pad, you know, nipping seals like a

71
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: dog chasing a train. But can't wait to see having

72
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: Romeo back, the difference, having Clowney White, Merciless Matthew, all

73
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: those guys on the field at the same time this.

74
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: You know, if Jim Nanson, Tony Romo, we're there. You

75
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: know what the network thinks. It's gonna be the biggest

76
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: game in the conference. And I can't wait. And it's

77
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: not a far drive from Nancay's Westport, Connecticut home. I

78
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: guess too go to New England. He likes spending some

79
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: time there. But you're right, this is the game of

80
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: the week, There's no doubt about it. John, What about

81
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: this Houston defense. I look at the names, I look

82
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: at the improvement year one of the year two with

83
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: Zach Cunningham and Dylan Cole, Bernardric McKinney getting the big deal,

84
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: and then you talk about why Clowney Merciless, you mentioned

85
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: Tyrn Matthew. I'm thinking that there's a chance that this

86
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: defense could really do some damage against the Patriots. Again,

87
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm not going to assume it, because I won't be

88
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: surprised if New England finds a way to put up

89
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: four touchdowns in the game. But I don't think it's

90
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: out of the question that the Texans defense comes up

91
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: with a way to really slow down Brady. I wrote

92
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: a column Wednesday that Texas is gonna have best linebackers

93
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: in the league without a doubt. Clowney Merciless, the best

94
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: outside linebackers, and when you factor in McKinney, Cunningham, s

95
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: seasoned Dylan Cole highest graded NFL linebacker in preseason according

96
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: to Pro Football Focus. They got talent, they got good experience,

97
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: and they cunning him can run and cover, call can

98
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: run and cover when he can drop into coverage. I

99
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: think they are going to be the best and last

100
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: year think about this. If I were to tell you

101
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: right now, you're gonna knock down Brady eight times and

102
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna sack him five times. Do you think you're

103
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: gonna hold him down? Yeah? Yeah, three hundred seventy three

104
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions.

105
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: What else do you have to do? But if Corey

106
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: Moore is not even on the team, hadn't dropped an interception,

107
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: or if he'd gotten over a split seconds sooner than

108
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: Cooks on the twenty five yard touchdown catching the end

109
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: zone that some people still think was not a catch.

110
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: But there's so much better and safety so much better

111
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: with Matthew Kareem making a move and Justin Reid the

112
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: first round picked or more athletic. You know, I just

113
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: the front seven is gonna be really good, and those

114
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: those safeties. You know when you say the offensive line

115
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: was overhauled more than any position, but I don't think

116
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: it's still gonna be real good where I think the

117
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: safeties are gonna be real good. So I'd say the

118
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: safeties are the most improved position on the team, and

119
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: maybe maybe the Texans will have more luck against Brady

120
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: with the LA with the back end of the secondary.

121
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: You brought up something that I think is a huge key,

122
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: and that's James White. Brady throwing a James White out

123
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: of the backfield, a safety valve, a safe guy to

124
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: throw too. He's made big plays for Tom Brady. And

125
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: then you think about you mentioned Gronk, Honey Batcher covering him.

126
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe it happens from time to time,

127
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: but you have Cunningham and Cole could end up covering

128
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: Gronk on occasion as well. We'll see how they handle it.

129
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: He gotta double him, you gotta have maybe because he

130
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: can run, you'd have I would say, cutting him and

131
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: one of the safeties. I don't think justin Reid that's

132
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: not fair to put him out there the first game.

133
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: So maybe Kareem he knows Gronk inside and out, and

134
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: then have Matthew cover James White. And but you have

135
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: to try to take those two guys out and make

136
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: the other guys beat you. All right, So you mentioned

137
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: some things about last year, and in order to even

138
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: have that kind of scenario again, you need to score points.

139
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna need to put up thirty probably to win

140
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: this game. John, So what about the Texans on offense

141
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: here as Patriots saw them last year. Bill O'Brian, whatever

142
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: wrinkles he's gonna throw in here they come in Week one.

143
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: One thing we left out on defense, it was the

144
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: best game Budgetevion Clowney last season. Yeah, he had two sacks,

145
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: fumble return for a touchdown, more hits on Brady was

146
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: good against the run. The Clowney Now, he may not

147
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: talk about it. And I wrote this too that you know,

148
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: his family, his friends, his fans, everybody is talking to

149
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: him about those contracts, Clail mc and Aaron Donaldson. And

150
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he gonna get it paid as much

151
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: as him, but he's got a chance to make a

152
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: lot more now based on the price of business than

153
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: he would have had he signed an extension. Good point,

154
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: which was never an issue. So if he goes out

155
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: there and hits double figures for the first time, continues

156
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: to be great against the run, maybe he's going to

157
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: be defensive player of the year. We think this defense

158
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: was number one two years ago and it's got a

159
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: chance to be even better as far as impact on

160
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: the game. But I think this, you know, Jadevion, I'll

161
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: never said, but he's got to be seeing dollar signs,

162
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: big dollar signs. As far as the offense, would you

163
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: if I told you right now, Watson gets sacked twice,

164
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: that's all. He has one legitimate interception. The other one

165
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: was a hell mary on the last play. So two

166
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: sacks and one interception. Would you take that? I would, yeah, absolutely,

167
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Because I think he's gonna throw a bunch of touchdown passes.

168
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna throw some picks this year. I mean,

169
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: come on, he's gonna do it because you take chances,

170
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: and every quarterback does. But I think he'll the positives

171
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: far outweigh whatever negatives there are out there. He's gonna

172
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: throw a bunch of touchdown passes this year, and it's

173
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: gonna be fun to watch. He realized. Last season. He

174
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: threw three hundred one yards two touchdowns, He scored thirty

175
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: three points, He was sacked twice. The running game one

176
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five yards. That offensive line, boy, that

177
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: was a great offensive line, wasn't it to have that

178
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: kind of game? That just shows you when he's in

179
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: the defense is spread out because they worry about his running.

180
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: They worry about him rolling right, rolling, laugh, throwing on

181
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: the run. So I think Lamar Miller last year was

182
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: Miller Watson informant did the heavy duty work that on

183
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: the running game. But I think it should benefit Lamar

184
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: Miller between the tackles, having a defense spread like that,

185
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: and I think any other situation mark if it's fourth

186
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: and one and he can put the way game away

187
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: to where a Brady touchdown won't win it. I think

188
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: now that Bill O'Brien knows what Deshaun Watson and can do,

189
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: Bill won't be handing the ball off. He'll be or

190
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: kicking the field goal. He'll be having that ball in

191
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: Watson's hands. And if it doesn't work, who could criticize it?

192
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna see Bill be I don't

193
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: think you'll see a lot of third and one handoffs.

194
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: You know, let let him roll out, yeah, you know,

195
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: let him play, do a little bootleg, play action, do

196
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: what he did in fourth and inches at the goal

197
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: line here where you just spread them out and let

198
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,599
Speaker 1: Watson make a decision. I would never go to a

199
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 1: short yardage offense. Every time I see short yardist in

200
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: goal line with all the big guys in there, I think,

201
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: what Hall of Fame safety Kenny Houston told me thirty

202
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: years ago. He said when he played defensive players hated

203
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: it when they spread them out on short yardags and

204
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: goal line because you have one assignment and if you

205
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: you and that guy, and if you blow it, they

206
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: beat you. But if it's jammed up in short yardage

207
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: and goal line, you can make a mistake and somebody

208
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: cover for you. And I've always remembered that. And if

209
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: you say it's fourth and one at the goal of

210
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: third and one at the twenty, or fourth and one

211
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: to twenty, if you spread out the receivers and put

212
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: Ryan Griffin in the slot, how can Watson out of

213
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: the shotgun be stopped. Yeah, exactly, And he can ron,

214
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: he can throw. He hit Ellington on the touchdown in

215
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: the play I mentioned in the preseason. He could do

216
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: a lot of different things. This stat I find interesting general.

217
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: The Patriots were twenty ninth on defense last year in

218
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: yards allowed, but they were fifth in points allowed. They bent,

219
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: but they didn't break. I'm wondering what we're going to

220
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: see from this defense. They're pretty high on players like

221
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: Derek Rivers and some of the players they have coming back.

222
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: With the new additions added in but we'll see. I mean,

223
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: this is Week one. Defense is usually ahead of the offense.

224
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: Texans gonna come out firing. I remember in the playoff game,

225
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: one score to fourth quarter and Oswylder throws two interceptions

226
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: and afterward NFL films picked up with a boom Mike

227
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: Brady Tall and Craft or on the field as they

228
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: were hugging to go to the AFC Championship game. How

229
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: tough that game was the Texans defense was. And he

230
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: didn't just say it like that. There was much more

231
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: respect and admiration in what he told Craft and Romeo

232
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: coach that defense, and I don't they're not going to

233
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: shut down Brady. Of course, nobody does that. You know,

234
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: they played him really well in that game. They played

235
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: him well in the fourth quarter last season. You know.

236
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: One of the reasons and I I didn't second guess

237
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: O'Brien kicking the last field goal because Patriots didn't even

238
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: have a first down in the fourth quarter. The defense

239
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: had shut down Brady in the fourth quarter, so you think, okay,

240
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: you got to do it one more time, and they backfired.

241
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: Of course, but that happens with Brady. So I think

242
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: defense will be ahead of the offense. Brady played quite

243
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: a bit in preseason. I'm guessing that's because he missed

244
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: so much time and OTAs and everything when he didn't report.

245
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: But I think he's gonna maybe be more ready coming

246
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: into this game than he usually is when he plays

247
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: less in preseason. John the Texans entered the week with

248
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: Kiki Qt and Will full are not doing much in practice,

249
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: so we're hoping that they're gonna be ready. But if

250
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: you don't have those guys, you have Ellington, you have

251
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: Sammy Coates. I don't know if Vincent Smith will be active,

252
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: but if he is, I think that Vincent Smith is

253
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: gonna make some plays. But obviously it's all about DeAndre

254
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: Hopkins and then when he gets the extra attention, what

255
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: Watson can do without him. Your thoughts on the offense

256
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: and how it might play out. I think a guy

257
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: to watch who had a great game last year's Ryan Griffin.

258
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: You know, Ryan's got sixty tickets for family and friends.

259
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: He had a touchdown catch last year. He had that

260
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: catch in which Watson went to his left and did

261
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: something no quarterbacks supposed to do, throw it back across

262
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: the field as he was getting hit and Griffin caught

263
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: it and went for what was it like, seventeen nineteen

264
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: something like that, and is Patrick Chung's that his name

265
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: is safety? He tackled him, and Ryan told me this

266
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: an event in the offseason. Chunk jumps up, goes, what

267
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: the bleep? Where did that come from? How did you

268
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: catch that? How did he throw that? And rather I

269
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: don't know, and and so I'll guarantee you o'bride told

270
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: him don't do that again. But I look for Ryan

271
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: to have a good game. You know, when Fuller plays,

272
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: and if Fuller could play sixteen games, imagine what he

273
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: could do the offense, the passing game, because his speed

274
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: and what he did in that brief moment with four

275
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: games with Hopkins and Watson last year's just shows you

276
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: how prolific this offense could be if he could stay healthy,

277
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: if he had the durability of DeAndre Hopkins. And as

278
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: it is, I'd love to see Vincent Smith. I mean,

279
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: why not. He made some plays they were with Joe Webb,

280
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: and he's got to know with with Sean Watson, he's

281
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: got a chance to be make more and more. I

282
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: think they would utilize Miller Moore's as a receiver but

283
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: it'd be too bad if he couldn't play QT. You

284
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: can't do without him. You didn't have him, you haven't

285
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: had him preseason, didn't have him last season. But h Fuller,

286
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: you need all hands on deck. Ye think about something, Mark.

287
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: Last year, Kevin Johnson didn't play in New England. Right

288
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: needed at, Aaron Colvin, neither did Tyrn Matthew needed at

289
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: Justin Reid and Cream played safety. So that's four starters

290
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: played playing in this game. At Cream in a new position.

291
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: So maybe Brady won't throw five touchdown passes. That would

292
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: be nice, all right? The General stays with us. The

293
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: race starts this weekend, the rest of the AFC South.

294
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: How the Texans are going to stack up against these teams?

295
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: As everyone begins the campaign, it's Texans all Access, Texans,

296
00:15:39,000 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: all Texans, all access to the General. John McClain from

297
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: the Houston Chronicle joining us this evening and General the

298
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: Texans playing the Patriots on the road AFC South Action.

299
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: Let's get into it a little bit here, man. I

300
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: just thought of a question. What's that? Hey mean? What

301
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: when you go back to New England, specifically, are you

302
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: guys staying in Foxborough close to Foxborough. I'm in Boston. Well,

303
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: there's nowhere to stay close to Foxboro. This is either

304
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: you stay in Providence or Boston. This is the worst

305
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: road trip I think in the league. It's worse than

306
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: green Bay. In green Bay, everybody stays in Aminton, which

307
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: is not that far away from green Bay. So when

308
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: you go home, so to speak, what is what do

309
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: you like to do? I like to see my friends,

310
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: and I don't care where I go because a lot

311
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: of the places I used to go don't even exists anymore.

312
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: It's been a while, you know. I mean, I'd love

313
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: to see my old campus, Boston University. Two of my

314
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: dearest friends in the world live in the Boston area.

315
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: One of them is a diehard fan. He's a season

316
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: ticket holder of the Patriots. So it's kind of weird, uh.

317
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: And he actually visited me here in twenty fifteen when

318
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots came here for that Sunday night game. And

319
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: I said, fine, you can go to the game. You

320
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: can use my tickets, but you're not wearing any Patriots gear.

321
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: You can wear navy blue. Okay, that's it. And they

322
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: didn't do it. He adhered to my wishes. He understands.

323
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: It took him a well, because I saw him that day.

324
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: You know, he took my son of the game and everything.

325
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: I get it. He's he's such a Patriots fan, and

326
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: he thinks I am too. I'm I'm not. He finally

327
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: is getting this. You know, I'm not a Patriots fan,

328
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,239
Speaker 1: and in fact, I hate them so much. I mean,

329
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: I like the Steve Grogan Patriots. You know this this version. No,

330
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: they're the enemy. Okay, what do you like to eat

331
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: when you go home? Well, clam chowder? Clowder? Do you know, Paul? Yeah,

332
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: you know east from up there. He hates chowder. He

333
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: just ripped clam chowder, said Paul. You lobster rolls and

334
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: clam chowder, That's what I like. Yeah, And look, I

335
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: still like a lot of the stables up there. They

336
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: make good pizza in the North End is amazing, you

337
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: know for food pizza and Boston too. Do you go

338
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: to donkeys? Uh? Well, what's those pastry places Mike's I

339
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: means yeah, with a great Fireau restaurant down the street.

340
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: A lot of these places are very commercial and when

341
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: you live there, you know, when you live in a city,

342
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: you tend not to go to the most commercial places

343
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: like Faniel Hall is where everybody goes in New England,

344
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: or when I went in the late seventies. Yeah, I

345
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: mean it's it's cool. I really enjoy going to New England.

346
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: I think it's it's tremendous and it's a great place

347
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: to go in the summertime. But I hate the Patriots

348
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: Boxboro is in a is in a horrible area. I

349
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: mean it's not a bad area to live. I mean

350
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: it's actually very nice. But Root one is just a

351
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: straight road that goes down there, two lanes. Basically. They've

352
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: widened it since, but it's not like you have great

353
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: highway access to that field. They've done a tremendous job

354
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: building it up, as you know, I know you used

355
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: to go there in the seventies and eighties and it

356
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: was awful. It was an awful place harness racing track

357
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: right next door to the stadium, which was an erector set.

358
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: It was like the c plan and stadium plans. It

359
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: was just awful. And they built Camelot there for professional

360
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: fobby eating a lobster roll and as much chowder as

361
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: I can stump. Of course, I mean you have to

362
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: try it, Okay, Sorry, I was curious about you derailed

363
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: about it. Well, I'm sure the Jaguars might have had

364
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: some chatterer when they went there for the SC Championship game,

365
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: but and they'd like to get back. Texans have other

366
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: ideas for them. Jaguars at the Giants. That's the home

367
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: opening opponent for the Texans in a couple of weeks.

368
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: But what do you make of that one? As the

369
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: Jags tried to defend the AFC South, Giants have a

370
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: lot more offensive flat power with Odell Beckham Junior being

371
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: healthy again. Sae Quon Barkley, I think they're gonna run

372
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: him like crazy. I think he'll compete with Ezekiel Elliott

373
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: for the rushing title. Aguiar's defense is really good, boy, kid.

374
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: Do we see portals going into MetLife Stadium eighty three

375
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: thousand fans and and pulling off at Giants when the

376
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: Giants or new coach you know what, I'm gonna pick

377
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: the Giants to pull them upset. I think they do it.

378
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the line is, and I

379
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 1: haven't looked at all the lines, but I think the

380
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: Giants are gonna win this one at home for all

381
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: the reasons. You've mentioned Eli Manning can still play this game.

382
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: I know he's not perfect, and he makes some throws

383
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: that make you say what, but so does Portals. So

384
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: if the Giants are able to get any kind of offense,

385
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: I'd like them to win this game. I agree. All right.

386
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: So you have the Titans at the Dolphins, and boy,

387
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 1: what a nice opener for them. Really go to Miami.

388
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: I think Miami's gonna be terrible. I think Buffalo is

389
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: gonna be the worst team in the league. In my

390
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: rankings out there, Buffalo is the worst team in the

391
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 1: worst team in the league. All Right, let's let's focus

392
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: on them for a moment here, because you just made

393
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: a bold statement there with the Browns being who they are.

394
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: But we'll get to them. Maybe the Bills, John, what

395
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: are they doing they went to the playoffs last year.

396
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: Did they decide we're not close enough at all? We

397
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: just have to strip it down and go. They got

398
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: rid of their quarterback. They've lost three offensive linemen, two

399
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: to injuries, and Incognito. I think they cut him or

400
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: he retired. That's one reason they won't start Josh Allen's

401
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: because the offensive line's so bad. They don't want him

402
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: to get destroyed. Shooting just confidence be shot right off

403
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: the bat, so they put Nathan Peterman out there. But

404
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: I just I just there's nothing that impresses me about

405
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: the Bills. And of course they lost their best personnel

406
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: man and Brian Kane, right, uh and uh. I think

407
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna be right there. Any team starting a rookie

408
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: quarterback like the Jets, I think it's gonna be bad.

409
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: And I can't remember in my rankings who I puts

410
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: my three words. I have Cleveland winning like five games,

411
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: so they're not down there. But I think Miami's gonna

412
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: be bad. And I've read a lot of things that

413
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: seen a lot of things with people think Ryan Tannehill

414
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: at thirty's gonna bounce back. I believe they will be

415
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: one of those teams looking for quarterback in the first

416
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: round next seasons. Why are they keeping four on the roster,

417
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: right Well, if you're keeping four, that means you know,

418
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: maybe you don't anyone. But I just Adam Gase got

419
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: rid of his best player on offense and his best

420
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: player on defense, Jarvis Landring and Dominican Sue, and he

421
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: wants to change the culture that's almost become a cliche,

422
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: but obviously he didn't like them behind the scenes, and

423
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: so I just believe Miami's gonna be bad and picking

424
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: the Titans. Rabel gets off to a good start and

425
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: then he loses his second game. Yeah, let him get

426
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: fat and happy if that's the case. Let them feel

427
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: good about themselves going into Week two. Because win or

428
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,239
Speaker 1: lose for the Texans against the Patriots Monday morning, they

429
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: have to wake up and prepare for Tennessee. And that's

430
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: you could argue that's a bigger game. It's a division

431
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: game and everything, But I know this New England game

432
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: is colossal and you can't talk anybody. The biggest game

433
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: is NBC Sunday Night, prime time. It doesn't have anything

434
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: to do with a division, didn't anything do with the conference.

435
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: It's against the Dallas Cowboys. That's the big game of

436
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, it's it's huge, all right. The cults

437
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: are entertaining the Bengals. What do you make of the

438
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: cults as they try to become relevant again with Andrew

439
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: luck against the Cincinnati team that's really been struggling. I

440
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: would love to see Andrew come back, go to distance,

441
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: throw for three hundred yards three or four touchdowns beat

442
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is Yeah, you're the one that didn't want Andrew

443
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: to come back. Well, I just be a fair and

444
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: square I care about him. The Texans. What a four

445
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: game winning streak over him? Why are you worried about it?

446
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't know you should be worried about Jacobe Brisette

447
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: the Texans game. So I want to pick the Colts

448
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: so bad because I don't think much of the Bengals,

449
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: but they got so many new players. They were so

450
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: bad last year. Luck's been out so long. What are

451
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: the odds that he can come back? What kind of

452
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: running game are they gonna have? Just too many? So

453
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm going with Cincinnati. Okay, other games of interest here,

454
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: and I don't even know where to begin. I mean,

455
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: there's so much going on. Cowboys and Panthers. Well, let's

456
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: go to Dallas this year. In general, John, what was

457
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,239
Speaker 1: your record prediction for that man? Yeah? I picked him

458
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: to win the division over Dallas. I did. I said

459
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: last year when I said in Philadelphia and New England

460
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: and the super Bowl, he said Philadelphia, Yeah, I know.

461
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: I picked him because they were ninety seven last year

462
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: without Eliot. Yeah, so Elliot's back for six games I

463
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: think he's gonna lead the league in rushing. I was

464
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: talking to some of their people here that last preseason

465
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 1: game they're planning is to run, run and run some more,

466
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: almost be old fashioned throwback football. And but why not Philly?

467
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: Why not Philly winning because I think Philadelphia is gonna

468
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,719
Speaker 1: take a step back, And I just it wouldn't if

469
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz has not been cleared for contact. Now, can

470
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: he start the second game? I don't think so. So

471
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: I'm thinking he's gonna miss the first two. And I

472
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: just you know Philadelphia. Last year, Trick plays Doug Peterson.

473
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: It's like lightning in a bottle. And so I went

474
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys in Philadelphia or a wildcard birth. I

475
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: will not be surprised at off the Chiefs go into

476
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: LA and beat the Chargers this weekend. I know it'll

477
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: be an upset, but I a lot of people are

478
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: picking the Chargers to do some heavy damage here. But

479
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, Kansas City people have probably bought every ticket

480
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: in that little bandbox and they're gonna turn it into

481
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: arrowhead of LA. It's gonna be interesting. Chargers have no

482
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: home field advantage any home game, none. They don't even

483
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: draw thirty thousand when there's a team coming from say Carolina,

484
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: and Miami fans just do not care. They didn't get

485
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: the support from San Diego they were hoping they got

486
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: when they moved. It just hasn't happened. So I'm gonna

487
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: go with the Chargers. Philip Rivers is still good. You know.

488
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: They were started slow, then got hot. They got they

489
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: got a really good pass rush. But man, oh man,

490
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: I Kansas City with my homes, and there's a guy

491
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: who also will make like Watson makes some incredible plays,

492
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: and then we'll throw some interceptions. Because when you got

493
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: a gun like he does, and he's used to fitting

494
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: balls in college windows, it's a little different. He didn't

495
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: have enough time to play last year, but he has

496
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: got a great arm. They're gonna be fun to watch.

497
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: They have more speed. But I would say I'm picking

498
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: a ChIL you know what I'm going with you. I

499
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: was gonna say I'm picking the Chargers because their home,

500
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: but can't say that. So I'm going with the Chiefs too,

501
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: all right. I like this one Sunday afternoon, the Seahawks

502
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: at the Broncos. This is old AFC West stuff with

503
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: Dave Craig and John Elways slinging it now they're really not.

504
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: It's the Seahawks with Russell Wilson in a rebuilt sort

505
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: of mode, and the Denver Broncos. I have no idea

506
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: what to expect here with Kasey Keenam. I don't think

507
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: much of either team. I think Seattle's gonna have a

508
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: losing record and the Russell Wilson is basically all they got.

509
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: And then Denver with case new system, it wouldn't surprise

510
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: me if Seattle didn't go in there and beat them.

511
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna take the Broncos just because they're at home.

512
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: How many millennials are gonna call me out on AFC

513
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: West with the Seahawks being in the NFC West and

514
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: they're not going to remember or know that the Seahawks

515
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: once upon a time we're a great rival of the

516
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: Raiders and the Broncos and the Chargers. It was fun.

517
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: They don't people did, a lot of them don't remember

518
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: the Oilers in an AFC central and their top central

519
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: was Pittsburgh's Dealers. Yeah, the Central, how about that? So

520
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm going with the Broncos. I want Case to win.

521
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: Case has a new book out. Everybody should check it out.

522
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: You know, if Case did it, it's gonna be good.

523
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: It should appeal to Cougar and Texans fans. I just

524
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: every time you say Cougar, I think it's something else. Wait,

525
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: let me give you another one here, the Vikings and

526
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. This is a good one. Who

527
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: do you have where they playing in Minnesota? I will

528
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: take Minnesota. Jimmy G's winning streak ends at five. I

529
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 1: think the forty nine Ers have a chance to compete

530
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: for a wildcard. They thinking the Ram's gonna run away

531
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: with the division, Rams going to the super Bowl to

532
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: play the Patriots. Minnesota boy, Minnesota's defense was the best

533
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: in the league last year, even better than Jacksonville's. They

534
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: got Dalvin cooked back, Kirk Cousins trying to win a

535
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: first playoff game. I think the Vikings crowd's going to

536
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: be through the roof. They're gonna win that game. Rams

537
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: at Raiders. John. You mentioned the Rams, But what about

538
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: Cruden and Oakland. It's bad right now as far as

539
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: the criticism, and they haven't even played a game. But

540
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: what if they actually do better than people think? Is

541
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,479
Speaker 1: that possible? I don't know. Gruden. When coaches come in,

542
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: they want to change most of their roster. He's thinking,

543
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: when we get to Vegas, Khalil McBee twenty nine years old,

544
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: I get two number one picks and in three gave

545
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: up a two with Mac And it wasn't the money

546
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: they could They could fit the money under the salary

547
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: cap with no problem. But they're looking ahead, which if

548
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm a Raiders fan right now in Oakland, I don't

549
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: like that. But if Derek Cark bounced back and play

550
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: the way he did two years ago, they'd have a shot.

551
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: But I don't think they're gonna win his game. I

552
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: think the Rams is gonna beat him up big all right,

553
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: Atlanta and Philly tonight, this is the premiere. This is

554
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football, not really technically Thursday Football, not the

555
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: brand name of Thursday Night Football, just happens to be

556
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: played on a Thursday night. This season opener. It'll be

557
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: on NBC tonight. Falcons and Eagles. What do you think

558
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 1: Falcons should have beaten him in the playoffs last year?

559
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: Julio Jones let the ball go through his hands. Philadelphia

560
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: would never have even advanced. So I think the Falcons

561
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: are gonna get some revenge on Nick Foles in that game.

562
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: They didn't think much Folds. The Eagles didn't. They had

563
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: an ultra conservative game plan and they barely won. So

564
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: I think Atlanta is gonna do the Philly what the

565
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs did to the Patriots last year on Thursday night,

566
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: go in and pull it upset. Have you done a

567
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: Texan season prediction yet? Yeah? And what was the record?

568
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: Ten and six? That's what I have. I predicted that

569
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: the last game here against Jacksonville will decide the division.

570
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: The Jaguars win, and then they play again in the

571
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: playoffs in Jacksonville and the Texans win. That's pretty creative.

572
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: I'll take it right now. I mean, if that's the case,

573
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: I'll take you home. I'll take that. It would be

574
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: so disappointing to lose to the Jags, though I'd have

575
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: to live to that week. At least the Texans would

576
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: be in the playoffs in your scenario. Look, I rarely,

577
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: if ever, I don't know if I've ever picked them

578
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: to finish ten and six. I probably did in twenty

579
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: twelve to finish at least ten and six. I don't

580
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: think I've ever picked any number higher than ten for

581
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: a Texans team. I think if they stay healthy, they

582
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: got a chance to be really good. That's just the

583
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: bottom line. And you look around the division and everything.

584
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,479
Speaker 1: I think they should be very competitive, even though it's

585
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: a much improved division. Okay, let me ask you a

586
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: question that I've asked other people. The expectations are so

587
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: high for Watson. Yeah, it's almost unfair to him. I

588
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: wrote about this today. I have a column on Watson. So,

589
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: considering he recovered from Attorney's Yale, didn't play much in preseason,

590
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: didn't light it up every time he played, do we

591
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: think that he could get off to a slow start

592
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,239
Speaker 1: and play his way back into the phenomenon that he

593
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: was last year? Well, I think slow start. It depends

594
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: on your definition of that. Well still throwing three hundred

595
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: yards and three and four touchdowns. He might throw three

596
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: interceptions and one touchdown and two hundred yards. You know,

597
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: the three interceptions. I don't like. He's got to stay

598
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: positive in that ratio. Like I said earlier, I think

599
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,479
Speaker 1: he's gonna throw some picks. It's just he takes chan

600
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: He's unfazed by any adversion, and that's why I think

601
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: he'll The cream will float to the top here. I

602
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: do agree it could be a slower start. I think

603
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: it's a lot to ask to go into Foxboro on

604
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: Sunday and score thirty three points. I think they might

605
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: need to do that to win the game. And like

606
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: I said earlier, they could lose this game and still

607
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: have a great season if they end up one and

608
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: one out of these first two and one of the

609
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: wins is Tennessee. Look, I mean you might have to

610
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: take that. I might take that now, but you know,

611
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: instead of what's behind door number two. But let's just

612
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: see how it plays out. Would you rather beat the

613
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: Patriots or the Titans? Knowing the Titans counts so much more,

614
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: I would say the Patriots, Yeah, I think that would

615
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: give you such a juice. But who are the Titans?

616
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: If they beat you after that, they might be really good. Well,

617
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: then you gotta beat them later. You know what, the

618
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: great teams and even the really good teams, they deal

619
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: with this stuff every week. They play good teams. Every week,

620
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: they play a lot of primetime games. They deal with it.

621
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: Let's see how the Texans deal with it and hope

622
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: that they're a really good team. General, what do you

623

Speaker 1: need to tell me about it. I'm telling you it's

661
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: gonna be huge. I mean you have the first matchup

662
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: first of all Mexican national team coming back to NRG

663
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: Stadium right home away from home. They've played in this

664
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: venue now seventeen times, seventeen more than any other US venue.

665
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's almost as much as the Texans. It's

666
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: a home field advantage. So it's gonna be a great

667
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 1: crowd out here tomorrow night. There are still some tickets available,

668
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: so certainly check out LSS dot net for that. But

669
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: I can tell your old ticketmaster dot time's a game

670
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: tomorrow eight thirty. But it's a huge matchup for US.

671
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: First match for each of these two teams since the

672
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: World Cup back in Russia Raither this summer. Both teams

673
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: made it to the knockout rounds Uruguay a top five

674
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: world ranked team, and a lot of people might not

675
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: know that this is the top five international team coming

676
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: in here, and it's not the Mexican squad. It's Uruguay

677
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: it is. And there are no slouches on the Mexican

678
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: national team side either, right when you look at it.

679
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: Most importantly, I think for fans, just casual fans, even

680
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: the star power is super bright tomorrow night. I mean,

681
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: you've got Louis Suarez, one of the top three players

682
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,959
Speaker 1: in the world. You've got good own on his side

683
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: as well. In Uruguay. That is another one of the

684
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: best players in Europe. You've got an opportunity on the

685
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 1: Mexican national team side to see Chucky Lozano, first time

686
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: that he's been in the US post World Cup, and

687
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 1: a great opportunity. He was the hero of the Germany

688
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: game Germany match, that scoring that amazing goal. And um,

689
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: you've got some also some some mainstays like Garmo Cha

690
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: their goalkeeper who's been on the team forever, and a

691
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: lot of young stars. So if you're looking to see

692
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: high quality soccer, this is about as good as it's

693
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: been for those international friendlies here in Houston. I don't

694
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 1: expect judnel this. But Suarez plays for Barcelona, right FC Barcelona, Yeah,

695
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: so why are they allowing him to come here and

696
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: do this? So it's a great question. This is actually

697
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: what is called a FIFA date, and so those dates

698
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: are on the calendar throughout the year and they are

699
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: the windows that the national teams can call up the

700
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: star players to play and they and they have to

701
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: they have to abide. So it works out that this

702
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: date is one that's here in Houston. Mexico is going

703
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: to travel from here to go play in Nashville on

704
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: Tuesday night against the United States in another World Cup.

705
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: Boy World Cup. We'rethy events, so yeah, it's it's it's

706
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: really actually worked out. We don't typically get the FIFA

707
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: date windows in the summer when we've had a lot

708
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: of these international friendlies, but this is one window where

709
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: we did, and that's why you see the stars on display.

710
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: And it's relatively early in if Barcelona's season. So I

711
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: guess it's okay to lot Suarez come here and play

712
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: in this deal. This is pretty cool. Now it's not

713
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: artificial surface they play on. So the building undergoes a transformation.

714
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: Just give me a glimpse into that. David Fletcher, general

715
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: manager alone Star Sports and Entertainment as Mexico plays Uruguay

716
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: tomorrow and soccer here as the Texans get ready to

717
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: travel to New England. Call. Yeah, it's a big, big process,

718
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: and you think back about the week we've had. So

719
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: Thursday night, last Thursday, we were hosting the Cowboys. We

720
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: turned over the building for the Advocate Texas kickoff on

721
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: Saturday morning, Oh miss defeating Texas Tech. Great energy, great

722
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: way to start the college football season. And then Saturday

723
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 1: night they immediately start working on that process. So we've

724
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: got a FieldTurf surface here and urges you mentioned, and

725
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: uh that it stays in throughout the year. So they

726
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: put a cover on top of that. Okay, so they

727
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: don't dig it up and roll it up. They put

728
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: several layers to protect that surface. Uh. And then um,

729
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: they start moving in the field. And the field is

730
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: brought in out of out of an outside farm and

731
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 1: it's you know, groomed year round, and they bring them

732
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: in and they do a great job putting it together

733
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: and really creating something out of nothing. I mean, you're

734
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: you're playing these on either you know, a flat surface, concrete,

735
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 1: a turf cover where we will call it. But it

736
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: looks in good. It feels as good as as any

737
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: surface we've had out there. And it'll be fun to

738
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 1: see what it looks like tomorrow night. It'll be cool.

739
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: It's natural grass installed just for this. I wish my

740
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: lawn looked this good. Well, of course, yeah, this is

741
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: like Augusta National. They're putting it out there, but they

742
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: take it off and then the Texans come back week

743
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: three to play the giants on the old on the

744
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: old stuff because that's a new field. But on the

745
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 1: regular stuff. Well in between we're gonna host Beyonce and

746
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: Jay Z for a couple of ships. So yeah, So

747
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: it's really it's as busy a time as we've seen

748
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: in this stadium from major events, and with good reason.

749
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: It's a great place to be. So I mean, not

750
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: just not just these events that we've talked about, but

751
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: Texans opener on the twenty third, Taylor Swift coming to

752
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 1: Houston and coming to NRG Stadium on the twenty ninth

753
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: of September. That's gonna be a sold out show, and

754
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: then it'll lead into a big rivalry weekend for football

755
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: here in Houston. But Battle of the Ponty Woods presented

756
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: by HB on Saturday, and then Texans Cowboys Sunday Night football.

757
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: All right, So that's October fifth, October sixth, seventh, October seventh,

758
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: huge weekend. Indeed, Oh my gosh, what a great appetizer

759
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: that is for the Texans and the Cowboys to have

760
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Foster go at it.

761
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: One more thing about this Mexico Uruguay game. That's Tomorrow night,

762
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: n RG Stadium, eight thirty. So Mexico goes to Nashville

763
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: do you know when that game is next Tuesday night?

764
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: Tuesday night? So if they rip up that field, David,

765
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: that could be good maybe bad for the Texans. I

766
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: don't know. The Texans play the Titans. They do in

767
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: the field, right they do. Yeah, it's an interesting way

768
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: to think about it. So if that's good or bad

769
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: to think about this, I know you will plot on it.

770
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: Who wants the sloppy track? The Texans are the Titans.

771
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Well, we have no control over the

772
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: situation anyway. Quickly on the Battle of the Ponty Woods

773
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: presented by HB as you said, and by the way,

774
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: Scott McClellan and those new ads with Deshaun Watson and

775
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: Hunty Badger, those are really undertaking. I think they've really

776
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: hit a new level, you know. I mean it's it's

777
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: it's tough to top what they were doing with JJ

778
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: and and obviously he's still a very important part of

779
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 1: the hib family. The Yost Wilder thing wasn't a high point,

780
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: probably with the cowboy uniforms semi you know, like the

781
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: toy story thing, but you know it was funny at

782
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: the time. You know, who's the consistent winner throughout all

783
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: that and HBS right so, and we love partnering with

784
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: them on that event. We're we're in our eighth year

785
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: of bringing that event here to Houston, UH and the

786
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: ninety third edition. One of the oldest college football rivalries

787
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: in Texas. So it's gonna be a great show. We're

788
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: we're looking to see if this this new Stephen F.

789
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: Austin UH team and staff and coaching can can can

790
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: maybe change the tide for them. And they're off. You know,

791
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: they're off to a great summer practice, in a great offseason.

792
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: I know they had a tough one play in Mississippi

793
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 1: State last week. That's a really good football team. But

794
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna have a good stretch of games,

795
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: that winnable games down the stretch. Coach Jeff Byrd is

796
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: new to the staff and done a fantastic job of

797
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: getting those players ready. And they're gonna need it. I mean, Sam,

798
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: Houston's won seven in a row, so you know here

799
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: in this building, so they're gonna need UH. They're gonna

800
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: need to bring everything they can and UH and we

801
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: know they will. It's a great rivalry. It is it

802
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: is fun. It is fun. I love the Southland Conference

803

809
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: used to work at Penn State, which was one hundred

810
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: years ago, the Orange Bowl guys would come visit in

811
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: their orange blazers. Oh yeah, the Rose Bowl guys they

812
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,880

00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: color blazer and go in to a school and schmooz them?

816
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: Balls are a little different now, the way they operate, right,

817
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: They're a little different. You know, Mark, we've gone with

818
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,280
Speaker 1: a color that you know, very familiar. You're very familiar

819
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,239

Speaker 1: tradition during the regular season. And to kick it off,

849
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: Doctor Taylor Brown of Houston Methodist. How's it going, Doctor Brown,

850
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: It's a great day. Thanks for calling, Mark Well, thanks

851
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: for being with us. Let's talk about ecls. Deshaun Watson

852
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: is getting over one of these, and these are very

853
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,240
Speaker 1: common in sports of all kind. What happens when there's

854
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: an ACL injury? Yes, or these are common injuries. They

855
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,240
Speaker 1: happen both as contact and as non contact injuries. Traditionally

856
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: with a twisting or pivoting sort of motion at the knee.

857
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: So there's a tear of sorts, and then what needs

858
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: to happen to repair that tear. The tear is of

859
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: the ligament, which is a structure that connects the steamer

860
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: the five bones of the shin bone at sibia. That

861
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: ligament is critical for maintaining the stability as a knee

862
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: goes through a range of motions, which really seen in sports,

863
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: the injury does not heal itself and actually requires a

864
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: surgery to reconstruct or create a new ligament. Rather than

865
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: the ligament does not heal itself, nor does it actually

866
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: can it be repaired or sowed back together. You actually

867
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: make a new and using a tendon from another part

868
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: of the knee to recreate an anti a Christian ligament.

869
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 1: I know it's faster than ever to recover from an ACL,

870
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: but what is the average recovery time? Doctor? The ligament

871
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 1: takes three to five months to heal and four to

872
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 1: five months to get your normal us to strength and

873
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: balance and coordination back, and so usually it takes nine

874
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: months from injury to return to play. And what's the

875
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: best way to prevent an ACL injury? Piometric training meaning

876
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: jump drills. And we have found this with high school

877
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: and college and professional level athletes that if they do

878
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:22,280
Speaker 1: additional training working on explosive type strength maneuvers known as piometrics,

879
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: if they do that several times a week, they can

880
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,760
Speaker 1: greatly reduce the risk of ACL injury. Doctor, great information,

881
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: Thanks very much for joining us. Thank you for having
