Well that that like, if 23 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 3: you look that up, I think a picture Demiko be there. 24 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 3: And when you see what he's always done, you see 25 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 3: what he's about. He's always been a god fearing man, 26 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 3: a family man, a dude of integrity. 27 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 4: A guy you could always trust to have you back in. 28 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 3: The guy to getting that fox old witchy you know, uh, 29 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 3: you know, I laugh because everybody's like, man Demgo, you know, 30 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 3: was it? I'm like, dude, Dimgo's second round pick? Maybe 31 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 3: because he didn't necessarily test well when it came to 32 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 3: running forties, doing drills and all this other stuff. But 33 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 3: everything that couldn't be measured at the combine he had. 34 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

Like 73 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 3: you bought it a few guys, you know what I'm saying, 74 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: a few little glue pieces, you know what I'm saying. 75 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 3: But then they took a lot of the same roster 76 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 3: nobody else wanted. Everybody told everybody this was the worst 77 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 3: job to get. You don't want the Texans job. Yeah, 78 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 3: because they got the second pick, they don't have the 79 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 3: first pick. Ain't that what they told you, you don't 80 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: want the Texan job. The defense was terrible. They didn't 81 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: rush the passer, they couldn't cover Stingley's hurt, Peachre's okay, 82 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: the offensive line is suspect everybody. 83 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 4: So it's just like you bought in the right guy. 84 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 3: To get the right juice and get the right energy 85 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 3: out of these guys and look at the product, and 86 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 3: I think it's it's you know, Dimiko's He's rare in 87 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 3: who he. 88 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 4: Is and the type of guy he is. 89 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 3: But at the same time, there's other dudes who play 90 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 3: this game at the level he's played this game and 91 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 3: has the same type of integrity, character and all of 92 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 3: that stuff that also need opportunity. I think the biggest 93 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 3: thing for him that I think that he's shown is 94 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 3: there's other guys that need the same opportunity I got 95 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 3: because with this opportunity to look what I did. 96 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: And right now, the. 97 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 3: Changing of the guard is happening on every level in 98 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 3: college football.

And 401 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 3: that's and and listen, when you start with no matter 402 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 3: what people say on the defense, yeah, the linebackers the guy, 403 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 3: but you need a pass rusher. Pass rusher will always 404 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 3: be the the dog dog. You know what I'm saying. 405 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 3: He's gonna be. He gonna be the guy that he's 406 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 3: gonna be the guy that drives the engine. The linebackers 407 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 3: will be the guy that the steers, that steers that 408 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 3: make sure you keep in the right direction. The quarterback, 409 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,239 Speaker 3: he's gonna lead everything. And I think we found we 410 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 3: found guys that literally for the next decade will be fine. 411 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 1: You know what, when you look at the three levels 412 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: of the defense, and I don't want to disrespect anybody 413 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: by not naming names, but when you talk about the 414 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: front seven, you got your guy Will Anderson, you know, 415 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: and depending what they do with Jonatha Grenard, then you 416 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: got Christian Harris who's getting better every single season. And 417 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: then you have Petri and Stingley, you know. So you 418 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: have a bunch of young talent on every level of 419 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: the defense where now it's fun. You just get to 420 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: continue to add pieces to it and think about how 421 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: awesome it's gonna be. Like these guys are, yes, the 422 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: first and second year guys. You know what I'm saying, 423 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 1: We're a couple of old guys mixed in, you know, 424 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: the Sheldon Rankins, you know what I mean. Like, you 425 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: got a couple of old guys in there, mixed in, 426 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: But these guys are young dudes. 427 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 2: So now we're. 428 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 3: Gonna we're gonna be able to watch these guys grow 429 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 3: together and see what they become. It almost reminds you 430 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 3: of like Uh. 431 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 4: When when Oklahoma or Oklahoma's when the Thunder. 432 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 3: Had all those young guys, when they had a young 433 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 3: Kevin Durant, they had a young James Harden, they had 434 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 3: a young well Russell Westbrook, they. 435 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: Had like they had a young But now you got 436 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: to keep it Unlike. 437 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 3: That's the hardest part. Hard like that that to be 438 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 3: our hardest part when it comes time. And to be honest, 439 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 3: it's a good problem. 440 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: To have here, but it was football where you can 441 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: be a little more encouraged. Every position we're talking about 442 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: so different. It's not like you have two guys at 443 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: the same position or the same position group that you're 444 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: trying to give them max contracts to. You know, you 445 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: got Will Anderson, then you have Derek Stingley, Then obviously 446 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: you have CJ. Stroud, So you could spread the wealth 447 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: to keep those guys you can. 448 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 3: I think the hardest part is going to be you know, 449 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 3: I've always believed and maybe I'm wrong because I'm not 450 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 3: a cap guy, but I always felt it was hard 451 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 3: to have two hundred million dollar guys on the same 452 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 3: team and actually be able to build the rest of 453 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 3: the team. 454 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. 455 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:41,959 Speaker 6: How about this though, how about this. 456 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 5: So for the longest time we heard Houston was at 457 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 5: a disadvantage because free agents would not want to come here. 458 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 2: So why they wouldn't want to come here? 459 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 6: Right? 460 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 5: So look at what Nick Cassario and these guys did 461 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 5: last year. Not on the first day, not on the 462 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 5: second day of free agency, but a couple of weeks in. 463 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 5: You get Devin singletaryot running back. You get Dalton Schultz 464 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 5: a tight end. Look what he's done. You get Sheldon 465 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 5: rankins Man on the inside. Look at what he's done. 466 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 5: All these guys over the last few years. Steven Nelson 467 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 5: was a few years ago, Jimmy Ward was last year 468 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 5: when Jimmy Ward was healthy. This team was defense question 469 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 5: Denzel Perriman. So with all that in mind, and now 470 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 5: you see what c. J. Stroud has done, and you 471 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 5: see what Will Anderson is doing. Excuse me, you see 472 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 5: who the head coach is if you're a free agent, 473 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 5: and then, knowing that there's no state income tax, is 474 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 5: this one of the most it's clearly one of the 475 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,239 Speaker 5: most attractive places now. 476 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: But that was a lazy sports radio take. I was 477 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: in sports radio for a long time, played the game 478 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: for a long time. 479 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 5: See David Anderson, who played with you guys, said you 480 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 5: had to play pay a tax as the Texans to 481 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 5: get Freedom's to come here. 482 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 2: See I don't know this. 483 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: Just like when you're a free agent, obviously you want 484 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: to go, and it depends where you are in your career, right. See, 485 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: everyone's different. They want us to have this mom lithic 486 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: approach thinking all players are the same. So I'm glad 487 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,479 Speaker 1: you brought up David Anderson, though I disagree with whatever 488 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: that take is. But if you're a guy that's already 489 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: won on the biggest stage, then you're thinking about money 490 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: and the system that you're in to make sure the 491 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: system fits your talents and what you do and obviously 492 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 1: where you live. Now if you're a guy that hasn't 493 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: had his big contract, like when I was a free agent, 494 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: but you know, my story is different than Travis's. I 495 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: was a fifth round pick and you know, my first 496 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: four years, I was just trying to make the team 497 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: improve myself. So just to be real and transparent. When 498 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: my agent would talk to me about different teams, I'm like, 499 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: how much like them? Money first, and then we'll talk about, 500 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: you know, the situation that fits. 501 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 6: So but if this is a really attractive place, but. 502 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: Even before it's been really attractive place because it's Houston. 503 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: Like you like God and don't. 504 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 3: Be single like guys gonna I understand?

Uh, you know, as these other teams 573 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: try to fill their head coaching vacancies with what the 574 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: Miko's doing, with what Dan Campbell's doing in Detroit. Just 575 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: so we don't make it a race thing. I think 576 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: a lot more of owner is going to be like, 577 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: you know what, these former players, they really know how 578 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: to relate to players. And I think Dan Campbell started it. 579 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: I mean when, And it's funny and I want to 580 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: get your take on this. And for those who don't know, 581 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, the head coach for the Detroit Lions, played 582 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins, played at Texas A and M 583 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember, there was a press 584 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: conference when things weren't going so well and it bothered 585 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: him to where he was crying and people were like, 586 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: you know, kind of making fun of him. But me, 587 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I feel his pain, 588 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: like I know, yeah, And I think his players are 589 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: rallying around Dan Campbell and that's why Detroit is having 590 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: the success. We see the success Houston's having with Demiko. 591 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: I'm just curious to see. 592 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 6: And Aaron d is probably going to get. 593 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm wondering if owners of other teams are going 594 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: to say, you know what, because this is a copycat league, 595 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: it's time for us to copy what's going on in 596 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: Houston Detroit.

Do you see other teams saying, you 608 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: know what, this might be the route we need to go. 609 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 3: I think, of course, I think, and not just on 610 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 3: the coaching aspect. When you look at a guy like 611 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 3: John Lynx, who was infused into the front office as 612 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 3: a former player who necessarily didn't have any experience before him, 613 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 3: you know, it was it was automatically say you know what, look, 614 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 3: give him opportunity, and he showed you he can be 615 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 3: great at that opportunity. I think it's a lot of 616 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 3: guys who are great talent evaluators as far as former players. 617 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 3: You know, I laugh because you know, I go to 618 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 3: Dre House a lot, you know what I mean, and 619 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 3: and uh and when he was breaking out he used 620 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 3: a breakdown wide receiving stuff when when Bill was here, 621 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And one day I was 622 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 3: just it was on his it was on his desk, 623 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 3: and I just started looking through a couple of evaluations 624 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 3: and people that he had, you know what I mean. 625 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 3: And they were like four of the guys that he 626 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 3: put evaluations on. 627 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 2: That weren't first round pickure all pro. Wow, you know 628 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 2: what I'm saying. 629 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,959 Speaker 3: And his and his evaluations was like like it was 630 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 3: just down the line, like you hold on, you saw 631 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 3: all of this. He's like, oh, no question and then 632 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 3: he and he sits there and he tells me why 633 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 3: he saw it. You see what I'm saying. And then 634 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 3: I look at you know, right now, you saw Eric 635 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 3: Henderson from the Rams. 636 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 4: He named the DC and at USC the D line coach. 637 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 3: It's a D line guy played at Oklahoma State, didn't 638 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,719 Speaker 3: really have a lot of h didn't have a lot 639 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 3: of league experience, but he played, you know, and now 640 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 3: you're getting a you're getting a transfusion of new blood 641 00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 3: in the game. But I think a lot more to 642 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 3: teams go to that because for so long they haven't 643 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 3: allowed former players in the building because they say there's 644 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 3: there's too much influence on the current players. That's the 645 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 3: reason why those guys can't get college jobs. You know 646 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Not because they can't do the job, 647 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 3: but because the coach who didn't play, or the coach 648 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 3: who feels threatened by their leadership in security, that's saying 649 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 3: he's gonna take over my team and the guys are 650 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 3: gonna listen to me.

But you watch 697 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 3: it in the production of this team. You watch him, 698 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 3: Like they talked about the other day, what he's gotten 699 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 3: out of Jared Goff, you know what I mean, And 700 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 3: Jared Golf couldn't have been They couldn't a regular coach 701 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 3: off the street that learned it in the classroom couldn't 702 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 3: have got that out of Jared Goff. You see what 703 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 3: I'm saying, because now Jared Goff trust this guy because 704 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 3: guess what. 705 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 2: One thing he's not gonna do is lie to me. 706 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. 707 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 3: He's gonna give it to me real and raw as 708 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 3: he can. I might not like it, but I will 709 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 3: respect it. You see what I'm saying. And I think 710 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 3: that's where a lot of guys need to lean on 711 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 3: the former players and say, you know what, if they 712 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 3: can teach, we got a job for you.

There's eighteen thousand of us living, you know 718 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 3: what I'm saying, And I mean it's probably only a 719 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 3: handful of guys that can actually coach the game, you 720 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, or more than a handful. But 721 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 3: there's guys that really are the next generation, but they 722 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 3: have to be given an opportunity. 723 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 5: You just sparked about thirty different questions from what you 724 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 5: just said, a lot of tangents in a good way, No, 725 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 5: in a good way.

If I can keep you honest 972 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,600 Speaker 3: with even with two yard runs, it's gonna do the 973 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 3: trick because you're gonna have to respect it. 974 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,479 Speaker 6: They did that, and the run game was fun. 975 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 2: They need to run, You didn't need to run twenty 976 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,879 Speaker 2: one passes and I. 977 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 4: And that's where I think. 978 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 3: That's why I'm more I'm the most excited about it 979 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 3: is is that I think because of the explosion our 980 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:27,439 Speaker 3: offense has and the capability have, I think Baltimore tries 981 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 3: to match that with making kind of like, oh, we're 982 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 3: gonna pass the ball. 983 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:32,960 Speaker 4: Because you know what a lot of. 984 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 3: These coaches in the league, they're they're they like they 985 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 3: I don't want to say they're not smart, but like 986 00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 3: they bucked the system. 987 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:40,120 Speaker 4: It's the reason why. 988 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 3: Like it's thirty three and you've gotten you know, you 989 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 3: gotten four yards on one run, three yards on the 990 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 3: other run. 991 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 4: And you say, you know what, let's pass the ball. 992 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:49,680 Speaker 4: You see what I'm. 993 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:53,239 Speaker 3: Saying, Like, why you just got four and three, why 994 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 3: not running again on third? 995 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 6: Keep taking a profit exactly. 996 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:57,800 Speaker 3: You know. And I think a lot of these coaches 997 00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 3: are gonna say, well, man, they gonna be they gonna 998 00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:02,439 Speaker 3: be ready for Lamar to run. Let's make him pass 999 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,319 Speaker 3: the ball, you know what I mean? Like what, yeah, 1000 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,719 Speaker 3: we know and don't get a twice. I'm not one 1001 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 3: of those guys say Lamar can't pass. You know what 1002 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,760 Speaker 3: I'm saying. But what makes Lamar great is he does both. 1003 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 3: He does both very good. You know what I'm saying 1004 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 3: is he's great at one. Yes, he's great. When he 1005 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 3: leaves the pocket, he's Michael Vic reincarnated, you know what 1006 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 3: I'm saying. 1007 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:23,319 Speaker 4: When he stays in. 1008 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 3: The pocket, he's a he's a good quarterback. And I 1009 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 3: think but when you limit him on those things, if 1010 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:30,880 Speaker 3: you say, oh, we're just gonna do one and I 1011 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,400 Speaker 3: do the other, I think that's when you find yourself 1012 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:33,800 Speaker 3: in trouble. 1013 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 1: And I'm hoping that's what they do because there have 1014 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,279 Speaker 1: been some Baltimore games that I'm watching and when they're 1015 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 1: playing another team, so that I don't have a dog 1016 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: in the fight.

When he runs, it's scary. 1022 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,080 Speaker 3: It's always scary because because at any time he he 1023 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 3: leaves the pocket, anytime he. 1024 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 4: Leaves is he could go all the way, you know 1025 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 4: what I mean? 1026 00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 3: And you looking like at the same time, I'll take 1027 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,759 Speaker 3: I'll take our back seven.

To 1136 00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,839 Speaker 7: see him get excited like that for Christiana Harris. 1137 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:48,000 Speaker 2: Was unbelievably cool. I just together to keep playing. 1138 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,279 Speaker 7: I wanted to keep playing because the one thing we 1139 00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 7: know in the NFL is this iteration of this team 1140 00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,239 Speaker 7: will not be the same in twenty twenty four. 1141 00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of the people think about it. I 1142 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,759 Speaker 2: don't even want to think about it. That's exactly the 1143 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 2: same way I was going to go there too. 1144 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 7: The only way that you don't think about that is 1145 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,800 Speaker 7: if you just can just think about winning. 1146 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 2: I want them to stay, stay together as long as possible. 1147 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,239 Speaker 2: These guys keep this run going because even next year, 1148 00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:19,839 Speaker 2: I think next year is going to be really good. 1149 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,680 Speaker 2: By the way, don't get me wrong, but this group, 1150 00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:27,160 Speaker 2: the way they're so young. We've seen teams around here before. 1151 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,879 Speaker 2: We've seen teams go to the divisional round before it's 1152 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,799 Speaker 2: the fifth time. They're so young. For the most part, 1153 00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 2: I know they're not the youngest team in the league 1154 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,240 Speaker 2: like the Green Bay Packers, and I haven't analyzed the Packers, 1155 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,319 Speaker 2: but we've got a lot of young guys in some 1156 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 2: really key spots. We all know this and there's to 1157 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,440 Speaker 2: use the word innocence is not good in this sense, 1158 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,320 Speaker 2: or naivete or any of that. But there's a newness, 1159 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,439 Speaker 2: how about that? A newness to the whole thing for them, 1160 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:58,040 Speaker 2: for us again, because we've never seen a team like 1161 00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,040 Speaker 2: this here do these things. And we've been to the 1162 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,200 Speaker 2: divisional round, but not quite like this. We'll get it 1163 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,319 Speaker 2: to that later. I wanted to get into this with you, 1164 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,760 Speaker 2: so ROBERTA. Flack had a song called the first Time, 1165 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,279 Speaker 2: and I don't want to think about it like that. 1166 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,239 Speaker 2: The first time the Texans played the Ravens or foreigners 1167 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 2: feels like the first time because I don't want it 1168 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,600 Speaker 2: to feel like that again. But I looked at the 1169 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,960 Speaker 2: first time like we all have, and I don't know 1170 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,359 Speaker 2: if it has any bearing at all other than this. 1171 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,279 Speaker 2: It was seven to six at the half. You had 1172 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:32,120 Speaker 2: missed opportunities in the first half. It was pretty interesting 1173 00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,880 Speaker 2: that they survived to make it a one point deficit 1174 00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,640 Speaker 2: at the half because there were instances where Baltimore could 1175 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,400 Speaker 2: have really kind of blown it up and then the 1176 00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,440 Speaker 2: first half but didn't do it yet. The Steven Nelson 1177 00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,080 Speaker 2: pick when the Ravens had point blank range. I think 1178 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,479 Speaker 2: that possession started in Houston territory, but the Texans got 1179 00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,560 Speaker 2: out of it. And there there are seven six at 1180 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 2: the half Ravens with two third quarter touchdowns, and that 1181 00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,279 Speaker 2: was basically it. Stroud had only played a couple of 1182 00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,560 Speaker 2: handfuls of possessions in the preseason, or of snaps, not 1183 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:02,600 Speaker 2: possessions snaps in the preseason. So there is his first 1184 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,760 Speaker 2: NFL action is in the Ravens nest and it was tough, 1185 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,040 Speaker 2: but he held his own and the following weeks, I mean, 1186 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,279 Speaker 2: by week three, you're winning a game at Jacksonville in 1187 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 2: lopsided fashion. Then you beat Pittsburgh and you're off and running, 1188 00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 2: so to speak. But it's an NFL game. I look 1189 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,600 Speaker 2: at that first game, Hey, NFL game, you have opportunities. 1190 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,360 Speaker 2: If you don't convert, if you take a sack on 1191 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,719 Speaker 2: third and short of third and five or whatever it is, 1192 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,120 Speaker 2: it's gonna be trouble. You fumble, obviously, that's a big problem. 1193 00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 2: He fumbled once. No picks for Stroud in that game. 1194 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,360 Speaker 2: It's not just about Stroud, but we talked about it 1195 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 2: with coach Johnny. They didn't know who they were yet. 1196 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,239 Speaker 2: The Texans, now the Ravens didn't quite know who they 1197 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 2: were either, and they've had some phenomenal performances this year. 1198 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,440 Speaker 2: But you're gonna play an NFL game, you're gonna have opportunities. 1199 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,880 Speaker 2: They're gonna have opportunities. Like Nick Cassia would say, it's 1200 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:48,880 Speaker 2: all about execution at that point. Absolutely. 1201 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,160 Speaker 7: I mean, I think there's there's something to be said 1202 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:56,560 Speaker 7: for some familiarity. Not gonna sit here and tell you 1203 00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 7: that each team is the exact same because as Nick out, 1204 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 7: one of the guys that they brought to. 1205 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 2: New England was Kyle van Oy, so he knows van 1206 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:05,840 Speaker 2: Oi very well. Van Oi has been giving them a 1207 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,839 Speaker 2: lot of good pass rush reps off the edge. 1208 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 7: Clowney was a factor in Week one, but he's become 1209 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,319 Speaker 7: even more of a factor as they kind of move 1210 00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:16,960 Speaker 7: him around to do some different things. 1211 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:21,800 Speaker 2: So I feel like there's such different teams. 1212 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,239 Speaker 7: I remember when the schedule came out in whatever May 1213 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,839 Speaker 7: of twenty three, and I remember seeing Baltimore number one, 1214 00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 7: and I just went Week one. I thought, Okay, I 1215 00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,879 Speaker 7: don't mind this Todd Munkin. It's gonna take a little 1216 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,319 Speaker 7: while to get that offense going. We're catching him at 1217 00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:38,560 Speaker 7: the right time. Okay, this is good. 1218 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,360 Speaker 2: When I left Baltimore, and you know, I've told you this, 1219 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:46,000 Speaker 2: I've had this. I had this weird feeling like I 1220 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,439 Speaker 2: feel like we're going to be back here. I don't 1221 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:49,520 Speaker 2: know what told me that. 1222 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,520 Speaker 7: I just had this really odd, strange feeling about it. 1223 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,880 Speaker 7: But I also knew in seeing them the next time, 1224 00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,840 Speaker 7: they were going to be a much more well oiled 1225 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:03,120 Speaker 7: machine because A. Flowers was gonna be even more of 1226 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,839 Speaker 7: the offense. You know, they'll get OBJ going. It's gonna 1227 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:10,520 Speaker 7: be a little bit different as they go through. So 1228 00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,160 Speaker 7: there was there was some of that feeling like, okay, 1229 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,279 Speaker 7: but we've changed as the team too. I think their 1230 00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,080 Speaker 7: identity hasn't changed. I think the Ravens have known who 1231 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,320 Speaker 7: they are all along. They're still the same under John Harbaugh. 1232 00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 7: You know, I don't want to say they play bully ball. 1233 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:29,680 Speaker 7: That's that's really not fair. They're just so damn physical 1234 00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:34,000 Speaker 7: and they're so fast. I mean, Patrick Queen and Roquan Smith. 1235 00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:35,200 Speaker 7: We got to try and block. 1236 00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,120 Speaker 2: God dang it, I don't want to. 1237 00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:42,120 Speaker 7: I don't want to face Quan again, but good, you 1238 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,800 Speaker 7: know what, I'd much rather do it now a Division 1239 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,719 Speaker 7: round playoff game. Don't care play them in a parking lot, 1240 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,359 Speaker 7: play them at M and T sham here, don't care, 1241 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,480 Speaker 7: just go go play because I think this team, our 1242 00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,960 Speaker 7: team now has confidence that we can go toe to 1243 00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,839 Speaker 7: toe with anybody anywhere, anytime, and we're gonna have to. 1244 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,520 Speaker 2: I thought about this last night. Mark, let meets your thoughts. 1245 00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 2: What do you think AFC for a second? 1246 00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:11,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, Seed's one, two, three, four, Mar Jackson, Josh Allen, 1247 00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:12,520 Speaker 7: Patrick Mahomes, C. J. 1248 00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:17,600 Speaker 2: Stroud quarterbacks holding serve Wow? Wow wow for the top 1249 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:21,440 Speaker 2: what eight in the league? Yeah? However you are then 1250 00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:27,520 Speaker 2: quarterbacks remaining over in the NFC? Okay, Rock Purty Rock Party, 1251 00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:32,560 Speaker 2: Jordan Love, Jared Goff, Baker Mayfield. Yeah, that's a little different, 1252 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,439 Speaker 2: isn't it. What if we were in the NFC, Yeah, 1253 00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,680 Speaker 2: you'd feel a little bit better about the quarterback matchups. 1254 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:39,200 Speaker 7: I mean, if we didn't have to play the forty 1255 00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,560 Speaker 7: nine ers right away, you know who knows. But either way, 1256 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,279 Speaker 7: you gotta play, you gotta You've got to play what's 1257 00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:46,759 Speaker 7: in front of you, and it's the Ravens that are 1258 00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 7: in front of us. And I do think there's something 1259 00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:53,240 Speaker 7: to be gained from just being on the same field 1260 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,279 Speaker 7: with a healthy Lamar Jackson. Now they might do some 1261 00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,759 Speaker 7: different things, but being on the field with. 1262 00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,359 Speaker 2: A healthy Lamar Jackson, so you can see that change pace, 1263 00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,920 Speaker 2: you can see that twitch, you can see how fast 1264 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:07,719 Speaker 2: he is. That you won't forget. Yep, you at least 1265 00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:09,759 Speaker 2: have that history. And they've got the tape. They could 1266 00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:11,600 Speaker 2: look at the tape all week if they want. I 1267 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,440 Speaker 2: know they have to look at recent tape, but they 1268 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 2: could look at that tape. And there were some Texans 1269 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,680 Speaker 2: who had not quite emerged to be who they are 1270 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:20,600 Speaker 2: right now as far as their roles on the team, 1271 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,040 Speaker 2: like Devin Singletary, correct and cold weather Devin Singletary, he's 1272 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,000 Speaker 2: no stranger to that. I think we make too big 1273 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:27,480 Speaker 2: a deal out of the cold weather. I'll put that 1274 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,200 Speaker 2: away from now, especially in the running game. I mean, 1275 00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:30,799 Speaker 2: who cares about the wind in the running game? 1276 00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,160 Speaker 7: Well, you know who said the most prescient thing about 1277 00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:37,480 Speaker 7: the weather, Nick Seio. He said, you have to remember 1278 00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,239 Speaker 7: you're playing the opponent. And it was I. 1279 00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 2: Was like, that was brilliant. But nobody ever talks about that. 1280 00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,640 Speaker 7: And I just remember all the documentaries I've watched about 1281 00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,040 Speaker 7: the Ice Bowl many many years ago. 1282 00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,160 Speaker 2: I remember my dad was there in Green Bay for 1283 00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 2: that and it was just incredible. Wait, he was at 1284 00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:55,879 Speaker 2: the stadium. Yeah, he was there. He was there that day. 1285 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:57,239 Speaker 2: He was in college and he got it. He got 1286 00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:58,680 Speaker 2: a ticket to go to the ear He got a 1287 00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,040 Speaker 2: ticket to the ice Bowl to get ice ball. And 1288 00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,319 Speaker 2: so he was there. His college kid got his way in. 1289 00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,799 Speaker 2: And so how did he feel? Did he dress properly for? 1290 00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:07,160 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1291 00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,839 Speaker 2: He was a college student. You're Green Bay College, you're 1292 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:15,359 Speaker 2: Wisconsin kid. College kids are your few pops in. You're okay? Yeah, right, yeah, 1293 00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 2: you're good. So I still can't feel my left foot, 1294 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:20,560 Speaker 2: but yeah, there were there were plenty of those. There 1295 00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:22,360 Speaker 2: are plenty of those. But one of the things that 1296 00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:25,880 Speaker 2: I remember what they talked about in a documentary was 1297 00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,120 Speaker 2: how the Cowboys are so worried about the weather that 1298 00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,480 Speaker 2: it wasn't until the second or third quarter when they realized, hey, 1299 00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,760 Speaker 2: we got to play the Packers. Yeah, and you can't 1300 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,000 Speaker 2: get caught up in that. Now. I don't think this is. 1301 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,440 Speaker 7: Going to be weather in which you you go, oh 1302 00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 7: my god, it's so so bad we can't execute. No, 1303 00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 7: I mean, the weather, the wind could be an issue, 1304 00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,120 Speaker 7: but you got to remember you're playing a team in purple, Yeah, 1305 00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:46,360 Speaker 7: you're playing them or black whatever. 1306 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,240 Speaker 2: They've got the wind too. They got to deal with it. 1307 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:49,560 Speaker 2: Everybody's got to deal with it. 1308 00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,000 Speaker 7: So, uh, you just got to make sure you're playing 1309 00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,880 Speaker 7: the Ravens and not getting caught up in, you know, 1310 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,240 Speaker 7: worried about the weather. And oh, by the way, oh 1311 00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 7: there goes Lamar for a touchdown because I'm worried about 1312 00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:00,200 Speaker 7: whether I got sleeves. 1313 00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:02,640 Speaker 2: On or not. Johnny, how good is this Ravens team 1314 00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,360 Speaker 2: maybe compared to twenty nineteen when they had the top 1315 00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:10,720 Speaker 2: overall seed, well in the AFC anyway, and Lamar Jackson 1316 00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:14,280 Speaker 2: that was an MVP year. Here he is now he's 1317 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 2: a little different. This is a different system. And what 1318 00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:22,560 Speaker 2: about the factor the psychological factor of Hey, the pressure's 1319 00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:26,440 Speaker 2: on the Ravens to hold serve here and perform well 1320 00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:30,280 Speaker 2: as the top seed. They've had two three weeks off, right, yep, 1321 00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,200 Speaker 2: a couple of games they don't play, they get the buy, 1322 00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,560 Speaker 2: or no, they don't play in one game the week 1323 00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:38,920 Speaker 2: eighteen finale, then they get the buy. So is their rust? 1324 00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,400 Speaker 2: Is their extra pressure on them? Is there no pressure 1325 00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,080 Speaker 2: on the Texans? I can't say there's no pressure on 1326 00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,400 Speaker 2: the Texans. They feel whatever they feel because they want 1327 00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:49,800 Speaker 2: to advance just as much as the Ravens do. But 1328 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,880 Speaker 2: what about that part of it with the Ravens psychologically, 1329 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:58,560 Speaker 2: maybe some rust and the whole aspect of all. Right now, 1330 00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,680 Speaker 2: this is an older why Lamar Jackson in a different system, 1331 00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,640 Speaker 2: and they've had a phenomenal stretch run here where they've 1332 00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:09,040 Speaker 2: knocked off San Francisco in lopsided fashion, they hung up 1333 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:12,320 Speaker 2: over fifty on Miami. They had performances like that down 1334 00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:13,920 Speaker 2: the stretch to that point. 1335 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:18,600 Speaker 7: That's one of the things that you have to consider 1336 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:24,160 Speaker 7: for them. The closer the game stays, the more pressure 1337 00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:27,240 Speaker 7: amps up on them the longer the game goes. So 1338 00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:32,400 Speaker 7: how can you just keep consistent pressure on them? 1339 00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,000 Speaker 2: That's, to me is the biggest thing. And you what 1340 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,400 Speaker 2: you can't do is, and it seems obvious. 1341 00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,160 Speaker 7: But you can't give them the explosives that charge that 1342 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:41,800 Speaker 7: place up. 1343 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:43,480 Speaker 2: You can't give them. 1344 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,880 Speaker 7: You know, if you give up first downs and they 1345 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,600 Speaker 7: dink and dunk their way down the field and you 1346 00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:52,800 Speaker 7: can hold in the red zone a time or two, 1347 00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:56,160 Speaker 7: then all of a sudden, the pressure everybody starts feeling 1348 00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,080 Speaker 7: it there, especially if you then go down and you 1349 00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,800 Speaker 7: control the ball and you go put touchdowns on the 1350 01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,600 Speaker 7: board and if you get that place feeling tight, like, 1351 01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:05,560 Speaker 7: here we go again. 1352 01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:07,680 Speaker 2: Because what's the thing about twenty nineteen, Well, here we 1353 01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,760 Speaker 2: go again, Nancy South. 1354 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:11,840 Speaker 7: Team coming to our building should have no shot of 1355 01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,000 Speaker 7: beating us, and yet here they are heading the game. 1356 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:18,280 Speaker 7: You get that point in the second half, it gets 1357 01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:20,400 Speaker 7: real dicey for them, and. 1358 01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:23,040 Speaker 2: Now you just have to kind of keep that consistent. 1359 01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,520 Speaker 7: Pressure that thumb on them, just keeping it on them, 1360 01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,240 Speaker 7: not letting it up, no matter how tough that is, 1361 01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,160 Speaker 7: and just keep that cons It doesn't have to be 1362 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:34,880 Speaker 7: like it just has to be just a consistent pressure 1363 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:36,440 Speaker 7: on them, and we'll see what they do. 1364 01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:37,960 Speaker 2: Look, there's gonna be no JK. Dobbins. 1365 01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:39,760 Speaker 7: I still think they get plenty in the run game. 1366 01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:41,960 Speaker 7: But I think a big loss for them was Keith Mitchell. 1367 01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:45,080 Speaker 7: Keith Mitchell was a guy that could kind of change 1368 01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,080 Speaker 7: things for them because of how fast and quick he was. 1369 01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:50,320 Speaker 7: But they lost them in that Jaguars game. So they're 1370 01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:53,640 Speaker 7: they're gonna throw it, probably a little bit more than 1371 01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,280 Speaker 7: maybe we expect, but there's gonna be this portion of 1372 01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 7: well they're gonna try and bludget us too, and just 1373 01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:01,160 Speaker 7: see how we react to that. But if we just 1374 01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,400 Speaker 7: don't give up an explosive play at a big time, 1375 01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,080 Speaker 7: give them an opportunity like a scoop and score or 1376 01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,960 Speaker 7: something like that that just picks up their whole, you know, 1377 01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,520 Speaker 7: picks up the fans and gets them all amped up. 1378 01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 7: The longer you keep that pressure on them, the tighter 1379 01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,360 Speaker 7: they're going to be and the less vocal they'll be, 1380 01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 7: and then the better off you can be. 1381 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:22,000 Speaker 2: So you've got to be efficient. 1382 01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:24,680 Speaker 7: One of the things in that game, as we remember you, 1383 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:26,760 Speaker 7: CJ took a lot of sacks, took them a lotting 1384 01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:30,040 Speaker 7: the ball out against the Browns. The ball came out, Yeah, 1385 01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:32,120 Speaker 7: ball came out, and not going to protection was better. 1386 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:35,200 Speaker 7: So those things I think are definitely going to help you. 1387 01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,320 Speaker 7: So I don't imagine they're thinking that we're the same team. 1388 01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:40,480 Speaker 7: Chris Berman on Primetime, I thought I made a really 1389 01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,280 Speaker 7: good point. He said he talked to John Harball after 1390 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:47,000 Speaker 7: that game, and Berman said he started to talk about 1391 01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,000 Speaker 7: the Texans and Harbaugh cut him off and said, oh, hey, 1392 01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:51,200 Speaker 7: wait a second, they. 1393 01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:54,160 Speaker 2: Got something with that quarterback. So Harbaugh knew it in 1394 01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:55,280 Speaker 2: week one. Wow. 1395 01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,200 Speaker 7: So He's very aware, and I think they're very aware 1396 01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:00,240 Speaker 7: of what CJ can do to them. 1397 01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:01,880 Speaker 2: How can they not be? All they have to do 1398 01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:03,920 Speaker 2: is look at the tape and they know how good 1399 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,400 Speaker 2: the Browns defense is, and they saw what just happened, 1400 01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:10,560 Speaker 2: all right, and what happened was kind of in a way, 1401 01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:12,560 Speaker 2: sort of forty nine er ish. Right. You had a 1402 01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,000 Speaker 2: lot of yak in that game against the Browns. Right, 1403 01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:17,960 Speaker 2: you had Nico with the yak touchdown, You had Brevin 1404 01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:21,280 Speaker 2: Jordan with the yak touchdown, and then you had beautiful 1405 01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:26,600 Speaker 2: touchdown run out of Devin Singletary, enormously effective throws from CJ. 1406 01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:28,320 Speaker 2: Strauth throughout the course of a game that aren't going 1407 01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,360 Speaker 2: to make the Sports Center highlight reel, the one to Schultz. 1408 01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:35,760 Speaker 2: Everybody's highlight reel had that one. That's a good one, 1409 01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,480 Speaker 2: and that's a patent sort of play. And can you 1410 01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:42,000 Speaker 2: get those opportunities? Maybe I'm with you, you can't. You 1411 01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:44,800 Speaker 2: can't make the big mistake. Obviously, let the crowd just 1412 01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:48,640 Speaker 2: swell into this title wave of momentum for the team. 1413 01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,840 Speaker 2: I think about Division Round games and where they went wrong, right. 1414 01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:56,480 Speaker 2: We talked about it on Texans Monday that against the Patriots. 1415 01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,040 Speaker 2: You played them in the Division round twice and you 1416 01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:01,680 Speaker 2: were down seven, teen thirteen at the half in each 1417 01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:05,320 Speaker 2: of those games, and the third quarter it just slipped away. 1418 01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:07,600 Speaker 2: The other team made some big plays, brought through a 1419 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,280 Speaker 2: pick in that one, and boy, the twenty twelve game, 1420 01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 2: I gotta go back and look at what happened in 1421 01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:13,040 Speaker 2: the second half of that one. But I know it 1422 01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:16,040 Speaker 2: wasn't good. That one just completely went spiraled out of 1423 01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:18,160 Speaker 2: control in the second half. I just know that Barrett 1424 01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:21,480 Speaker 2: Ruge's name was mentioned a lot, Yeah, because he was 1425 01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,040 Speaker 2: in coverage on Stephen Ridley. I think it was Ridley. 1426 01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,920 Speaker 2: It was Ridley for the Timesreen was a killer. They 1427 01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:30,960 Speaker 2: were both. I should refrain from using that word when 1428 01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:35,600 Speaker 2: I'm describing Patriots offensive weapons because he was probably right 1429 01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:39,560 Speaker 2: about so I won't say that. But those were tough. 1430 01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,520 Speaker 2: And I think about the first game with the Ravens, Hey, 1431 01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:46,960 Speaker 2: the first game with the Ravens. That defense was so 1432 01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:49,480 Speaker 2: good for the Houston Texans, number two in the league 1433 01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:54,520 Speaker 2: and a legit number two, just stopping defense, just stop 1434 01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:58,680 Speaker 2: after stop after stop, and JJ Watton Brooks Reid in 1435 01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:02,520 Speaker 2: the postseason sacks city. But when you turn it over 1436 01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:07,080 Speaker 2: four times. The Jacoby Jones muff punt. You cannot have that, obviously, 1437 01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,480 Speaker 2: the Jacoby Jones muff pump in that game. And then 1438 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:13,680 Speaker 2: Yates throwing the three picks and obviously forgive it because 1439 01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,520 Speaker 2: he's a rookie. But this is a different rookie. This 1440 01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:18,880 Speaker 2: is a different rookie. He doesn't throw interceptions, and you 1441 01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:23,360 Speaker 2: have to continue that wave of not throwing interceptions. Hang out, 1442 01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:26,160 Speaker 2: hang around, and make the big plays. You know, you 1443 01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:27,920 Speaker 2: got to make the big plays when they're there, or 1444 01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,160 Speaker 2: at least make the little plays. Look at these games. 1445 01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:33,440 Speaker 2: I'm watching Pittsburgh and Buffalo, and it looks like Buffalo 1446 01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,600 Speaker 2: is gonna run away with this thing, right, and Pittsburgh's 1447 01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:37,520 Speaker 2: got a legit shot to win this game. 1448 01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's twenty four to seventeen, and you're like, and 1449 01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:42,440 Speaker 7: I was texting you guys, like, ay, hello Baltimore, like 1450 01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:44,640 Speaker 7: two minutes Citty of the game, Like Hello Baltimore. I 1451 01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,680 Speaker 7: guess that's where we're going. And it's twenty four to seventeen, 1452 01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:49,000 Speaker 7: and there's. 1453 01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:52,360 Speaker 2: They could be had. Buffalo can be had, Buffalo could 1454 01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:53,560 Speaker 2: be had, Casey can be had. 1455 01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:57,000 Speaker 7: You know, I think Baltimore of the three is the toughest. 1456 01:04:57,080 --> 01:04:59,240 Speaker 7: But you know, keep in mind, Colts went in there 1457 01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,560 Speaker 7: and beat them. The Browns went in there and beat 1458 01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,919 Speaker 7: them at their stadium. Now, you brought it up about 1459 01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,320 Speaker 7: rest versus Rust, et cetera before we get there. Because 1460 01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:08,960 Speaker 7: you brought it up, it made me think about it, 1461 01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:09,680 Speaker 7: so I pulled it up. 1462 01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,200 Speaker 2: How about in that playoff game, both of them, that 1463 01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:18,640 Speaker 2: playoff game against the Patriots January thirteenth, twenty thirteen. Yeah, man, 1464 01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:21,400 Speaker 2: that was eleven years ago. The lord, we're old. 1465 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:24,880 Speaker 7: Steve Ridley had eighty two yards rushing in a touchdown 1466 01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:29,120 Speaker 7: average five point five of carry. Shane Veren seven rushes, 1467 01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:33,000 Speaker 7: forty one yards in a rushing touchdown, receiving five catches 1468 01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:36,800 Speaker 7: eighty three yards, and two receiving touchdowns wheel route. 1469 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:38,480 Speaker 2: It's just torching. I'm porching. 1470 01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:40,640 Speaker 7: That's why the name Barry Rude came up because he 1471 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:44,439 Speaker 7: was stuck on Veren. Ridley and Veren, I mean two 1472 01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,960 Speaker 7: guys that that I think is the greatness. Back then 1473 01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:51,240 Speaker 7: of those Patriots teams like Brady could take a Ridley 1474 01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:52,560 Speaker 7: and Verreen. It was like Brady could go to a 1475 01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:54,560 Speaker 7: chopped basket on Food Network and go, all right, what 1476 01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:55,480 Speaker 7: I got, well, you. 1477 01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:57,120 Speaker 2: Got Ridley and a Verene, all right, I can make 1478 01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:01,040 Speaker 2: it work. Yeah. Yeah, And the mid way through his career, 1479 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:05,160 Speaker 2: his long career from Brady sees that, Okay, I know 1480 01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:08,280 Speaker 2: where we're going with the football. Yeah, and I remember, 1481 01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:10,120 Speaker 2: you know what I remember about those two games that 1482 01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:14,280 Speaker 2: Texans played against them. The Texans couldn't deal with the 1483 01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:19,800 Speaker 2: quick snap with the Patriots making a long play running downfield. 1484 01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 2: And not only would they quick snap, one thing that 1485 01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,240 Speaker 2: O'Brien did a lot was hand off. After those situations, 1486 01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:29,520 Speaker 2: Brady goes right back to the air, Oh did you 1487 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,320 Speaker 2: like that? How about some of this? And then all 1488 01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:35,000 Speaker 2: of a sudden, you got a linebacker wide open because 1489 01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:38,800 Speaker 2: the Texans d cannot adjust quickly enough. And I was 1490 01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:42,120 Speaker 2: really disappointed that the second time they faced them, they 1491 01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 2: didn't adjust well for those things. You know they're going 1492 01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:46,480 Speaker 2: to do it, and they just weren't ready. And I 1493 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,320 Speaker 2: think a lot of it had to do with injured 1494 01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:51,280 Speaker 2: personnel and things like that. And the team lost Brian 1495 01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:55,000 Speaker 2: Cushing and then you already were without Demiko Rights because 1496 01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,480 Speaker 2: that was the first year without Tamiko. So there you 1497 01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:00,240 Speaker 2: were with linebackers like Brady James and Barrett r and 1498 01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,520 Speaker 2: whoever else you could find. They were just trying to 1499 01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 2: piece it together at the end there. Personnel wise, Yeah, I. 1500 01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,280 Speaker 7: Think that's actually one of the bigger keys in this game. 1501 01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,800 Speaker 7: I can't remember who I was talking to in the building, 1502 01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:12,680 Speaker 7: and they were just kind of picking my brain about it, 1503 01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:13,680 Speaker 7: and they were like. 1504 01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,840 Speaker 2: Who are your keys? What are your keys? And I 1505 01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:19,880 Speaker 2: said Christian Harrison Blake Cashman. 1506 01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,600 Speaker 7: I feel like against a team like the Ravens, the 1507 01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:28,600 Speaker 7: linebackers are put in so many different precarious positions, and 1508 01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:32,760 Speaker 7: if there is a position on this team that has 1509 01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,000 Speaker 7: gotten so much better, not only from Week one of 1510 01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:38,919 Speaker 7: this year, but from last year. 1511 01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,600 Speaker 2: I watched the linebackers last year, especially the first half 1512 01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,480 Speaker 2: of the year, and was like, what are we doing? 1513 01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:47,040 Speaker 2: What are we doing? 1514 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:49,400 Speaker 7: I mean you would hear it in your ear half 1515 01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,080 Speaker 7: the time, like there'd be this run and there's a 1516 01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:54,000 Speaker 7: linebacker running the opposite way of where the running back 1517 01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,320 Speaker 7: is running, and I'm like, what are we doing? I 1518 01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,440 Speaker 7: wanted to put in our T shirt. This year, I'm 1519 01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:02,280 Speaker 7: watching Blake Cashman, Christian Hair, Denzel Perriman, and they're rotating. 1520 01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,400 Speaker 7: Sometimes they're all three in there. Sometimes it's two of them. 1521 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:06,680 Speaker 7: And I'm watching those three guys and I'm like, this 1522 01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:10,320 Speaker 7: is a completely completely different defense because of what those 1523 01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:11,880 Speaker 7: guys can do, the speed. 1524 01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,120 Speaker 2: You got a journeyman as you as you. 1525 01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:17,280 Speaker 7: Would classify him, and Blake Cashman, now he would never 1526 01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,200 Speaker 7: have been a journeyman. Had he been healthy, the Jets 1527 01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:22,439 Speaker 7: would have had a linebacker they could relied on if 1528 01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:24,120 Speaker 7: he could have stayed healthy, and this year he stayed 1529 01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:29,200 Speaker 7: relatively healthy. Knock on Wood and his speed, his understanding 1530 01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:34,080 Speaker 7: and Christian Harris, you you mentioned it during during a 1531 01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,920 Speaker 7: break or you you asked Dre during a game. I 1532 01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,439 Speaker 7: can't remember, and You're like, why are the Browns not 1533 01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:40,840 Speaker 7: getting explosives? 1534 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:42,439 Speaker 2: What is going on? 1535 01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:44,720 Speaker 7: And so I haven't gone all the way back through 1536 01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:47,320 Speaker 7: the all twenty two you can see everything, but I'm 1537 01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:52,160 Speaker 7: watching and there's something that this defense demands of its 1538 01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:56,120 Speaker 7: linebackers and it's it's called a robot technique roll over 1539 01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,000 Speaker 7: and back. So a lot of times with play action, 1540 01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,280 Speaker 7: what do you get you at this deep crosser, you. 1541 01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:06,200 Speaker 2: Get that law at long deep over route. Well, there's 1542 01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,759 Speaker 2: some times where that has to be the linebackers play. 1543 01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:13,759 Speaker 2: So the linebacker has to read run and then nope, 1544 01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,720 Speaker 2: not run and then quote unquote robot back, roll over 1545 01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:19,200 Speaker 2: and back and run with that guy down the scene. 1546 01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,280 Speaker 2: And so it was early in the game and they 1547 01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:24,720 Speaker 2: ran that and I don't remember who the receiver was, 1548 01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:29,320 Speaker 2: but it was a receiver. Christian Harris robots into the 1549 01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:32,559 Speaker 2: hip of the receiver and runs with him forty yards downfield, 1550 01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:35,519 Speaker 2: hit and Flacco is not gonna throw it. He takes 1551 01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:39,519 Speaker 2: the checkdown. Yeah, that's incredible. That's Fred Warner type stuff. 1552 01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:42,040 Speaker 7: Now I'm not putting Christian Harris on Fred Warner, but 1553 01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:42,920 Speaker 7: who Fred Warner. 1554 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:45,120 Speaker 2: Kristen Harris exactly exactly. 1555 01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:48,240 Speaker 7: And so to see Christian take those steps and to 1556 01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:51,280 Speaker 7: know Blake's got that in him too. The linebackers, to me, uh, 1557 01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:53,840 Speaker 7: end up being key in this game. 1558 01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:57,080 Speaker 2: I think against Baltimore, Cashman didn't play and Cashman didn't play, 1559 01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:59,880 Speaker 2: and Christian was not Christian in week one was not 1560 01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,720 Speaker 2: Christian Harris used, this is a different player. It's not 1561 01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:07,040 Speaker 2: like Patrick Queen Week one. Patrick Queen, now if he's healthy, 1562 01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:10,000 Speaker 2: it's still Patrick Queen. That's the same Patrick Queen. Christian 1563 01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:13,439 Speaker 2: Harris week one this year versus Christian Harris. Now different, 1564 01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:17,280 Speaker 2: Christian Harris we're dealing with them a maturation process, just 1565 01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:20,160 Speaker 2: like Stroud, like a lot of the young players. I mean, 1566 01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:22,479 Speaker 2: Juice was unavailable in that game. Jews is playing on 1567 01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:24,880 Speaker 2: the old line. Now, obviously, what else do you have? 1568 01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:27,559 Speaker 2: You want to here's some other differences. I mean, this 1569 01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:30,679 Speaker 2: takes you back. Okay, So Eric Murray started that game 1570 01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:34,760 Speaker 2: because the safety is Jimmy was hurt. Right, So now 1571 01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:36,720 Speaker 2: it's look, I'd still love to have Eric Murray on 1572 01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:38,400 Speaker 2: this team. I think he could help in the back end. 1573 01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,679 Speaker 2: But you know what you have here, and Kareem's gonna 1574 01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:44,000 Speaker 2: be here. I mean, this is wild. Yeah, it's wild 1575 01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:45,960 Speaker 2: that Kareem played well. No, he didn't play in the 1576 01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,960 Speaker 2: last divisional game, but he played in twenty eighteen in 1577 01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:53,120 Speaker 2: the postseason. Yep, Tavia Thomas started at Nickel. Well, now 1578 01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:55,439 Speaker 2: you have Desmond Kingsman King and the roster he was 1579 01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:58,519 Speaker 2: on the Wheelers. Steelers roster's on the Steelers. Then so 1580 01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:01,960 Speaker 2: is Peraman and Harris at Lime, and you still had 1581 01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:04,479 Speaker 2: Will Anderson. Jonathan Garnard had a sack early in that game, 1582 01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:08,599 Speaker 2: big sack, very nice, but a lot of differences. I mean, 1583 01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:12,519 Speaker 2: he had Dylan Horton coming off the sideline, Johnny, I 1584 01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:14,559 Speaker 2: can't wait for next year. Dylan Horton's gonna be back. 1585 01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:17,400 Speaker 2: I know you'd be helping this team right now. Pass 1586 01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:20,800 Speaker 2: rushing Corey Lyttleton played in that game. I mean, it's 1587 01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,559 Speaker 2: just Mike Boone. I mean, guys who aren't here anymore. 1588 01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:25,800 Speaker 2: Zettner was punting for you and then later we pun 1589 01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:28,879 Speaker 2: against you for the Titans. You know, it's just weird stuff. 1590 01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:32,280 Speaker 2: That's how long these seasons are. Shaquille Griffin was the 1591 01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:34,760 Speaker 2: first man off the sideline as a sub in that 1592 01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:38,240 Speaker 2: first matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. And I think just 1593 01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:40,400 Speaker 2: the Texans is so much better now. You could say 1594 01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:43,040 Speaker 2: the Ravens are better now too, but they're different. Texans 1595 01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,400 Speaker 2: are very different. They've matured. This is a different team 1596 01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:49,479 Speaker 2: you're facing now. Baltimore. I know they're the top seed 1597 01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,240 Speaker 2: for a reason. If this was the if this was 1598 01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:55,160 Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament, you'd say Baltimore is the top overall 1599 01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,240 Speaker 2: seed in the tournament. And that's what they are in 1600 01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:00,400 Speaker 2: this Super Bowl Tournament. There's no question about it. That's 1601 01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:03,120 Speaker 2: who they are. That's what they are. But they are 1602 01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:05,439 Speaker 2: not unbeatable, and it's up to you to figure out 1603 01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:06,200 Speaker 2: a way to get it done. 1604 01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:08,679 Speaker 7: It's so interesting to look at the differences from week 1605 01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:13,639 Speaker 7: one to week right now. And I mean key players 1606 01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:16,360 Speaker 7: that are making plays, like you said, Desmond King, different roster, 1607 01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:19,680 Speaker 7: Derek Barnett, my J Sanders, those guys are all on 1608 01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:23,320 Speaker 7: different teams and they're all playing significant roles. 1609 01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,600 Speaker 2: For you in this in this defense. 1610 01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:27,760 Speaker 7: You know Tier Tart he was in active last week, 1611 01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,599 Speaker 7: but you know it was a tighten up until week fifteen. 1612 01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:34,000 Speaker 2: I mean all I mean, dhc DC wasn't. I don't 1613 01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:36,439 Speaker 2: even think he was with us in week one. I 1614 01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:38,240 Speaker 2: I don't think so he was with us then not 1615 01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,320 Speaker 2: with us with us again, right, yeah, exactly. I think 1616 01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:44,880 Speaker 2: it was the next week. So yeah, it's it's fascinating 1617 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,280 Speaker 2: how things change over how many ever weeks this has been. 1618 01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:49,559 Speaker 7: But you got to take what you have. And I 1619 01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:51,920 Speaker 7: think I think identity is one of those things. I 1620 01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,840 Speaker 7: think the Texans have found found their identity. And I 1621 01:12:54,840 --> 01:13:01,680 Speaker 7: think when the defense, when the defense communicates well and 1622 01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:05,400 Speaker 7: everybody is on it, like we're communicating well and they're 1623 01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:08,479 Speaker 7: tackling well, boy, it's become a fun group to watch, 1624 01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:09,200 Speaker 7: all right. 1625 01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:11,679 Speaker 2: It's a fun group to watch coming up, Read and react. 1626 01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:14,719 Speaker 2: We will read what happened to these playoff games on Monday, 1627 01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:17,400 Speaker 2: react to them, go over the field. More about the 1628 01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:21,559 Speaker 2: Texans versus the Ravens a bit later on, dig into 1629 01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:25,000 Speaker 2: the differences between this team and other teams that have 1630 01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:29,120 Speaker 2: ventured into the divisional round. It's Texans Radio, Mark Vandermaer 1631 01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,799 Speaker 2: and John Harris with you on Texans All Access. Okay, Johnny, 1632 01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:34,880 Speaker 2: A lot of things going on. The Buffalo Bills took 1633 01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:38,200 Speaker 2: care of the Pittsburgh Steelers, so they entertained the Chiefs. 1634 01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:41,400 Speaker 2: We were rooting for Pittsburgh, wanted to go to Kansas City, 1635 01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:44,080 Speaker 2: rooting for Pittsburgh for a variety of reasons. I'm not 1636 01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:47,040 Speaker 2: saying it's easier to bump off Kansas City than the Ravens. 1637 01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:50,080 Speaker 2: Who knows, depends on how the game goes. Maybe it is, 1638 01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:53,000 Speaker 2: maybe it's not. Maybe the Swifties get you, maybe they 1639 01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,080 Speaker 2: get the calls. I don't know. But that would have 1640 01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:58,280 Speaker 2: given you a chance to host possibly at AFC Championship 1641 01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:00,280 Speaker 2: Road because Pittsburgh would have got to Baltimore or you 1642 01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:03,920 Speaker 2: know that they're not scared of Baltimore. And I thought Pittsburgh, 1643 01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:07,400 Speaker 2: even though it started out so badly for them. They 1644 01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:09,840 Speaker 2: hung in there, they hung in there, and they were 1645 01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:12,800 Speaker 2: able to make it a threat at the end. The 1646 01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:14,880 Speaker 2: other game. I want to get into this a little 1647 01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:19,000 Speaker 2: bit because the psychology of it, just how it's playing 1648 01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:24,080 Speaker 2: out with all the aftermath, all the postgame chatter, Philadelphia 1649 01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:27,719 Speaker 2: looking horrible against Tampa Bay, a team that the Texans 1650 01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:30,400 Speaker 2: took care of late with the Stroud to Tank Dell 1651 01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:34,360 Speaker 2: touchdown pass after Mayfield got the lead late in that game. 1652 01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:36,760 Speaker 2: I mean Mayfield played well in that final drive. I mean, 1653 01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:38,519 Speaker 2: here they are. They should really be able to close 1654 01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:41,240 Speaker 2: it out right against most teams, but not so fast. 1655 01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:43,839 Speaker 2: My friend, as Lee Corso would say, with CJ. Stroud 1656 01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:46,840 Speaker 2: finding Tank Dell for the game winner. Well, I saw 1657 01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:51,400 Speaker 2: your tweet Philadelphia broken team. Interesting how some teams this 1658 01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:55,040 Speaker 2: time of year come together galvanize. Some teams break apart. 1659 01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:59,080 Speaker 2: They've been breaking apart for weeks now. Absolutely, and I 1660 01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:01,400 Speaker 2: think there were a number of This one's kind of 1661 01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:05,080 Speaker 2: becoming an interesting, kind of funny one. But it's maybe 1662 01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:05,639 Speaker 2: he's telling. 1663 01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:08,000 Speaker 7: But in that game against the Niners, it was twenty 1664 01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:09,720 Speaker 7: one thirteen, and there was a dust up on the 1665 01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:14,879 Speaker 7: sideline and their security guy, the guy they love Big Dom. Yeah, 1666 01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:17,080 Speaker 7: he gets in that dust up with Drey Greenlaw and 1667 01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:19,000 Speaker 7: basically he was trying to get green Law off of 1668 01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:22,000 Speaker 7: one of the Eagles players, and basically they kept him 1669 01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:24,360 Speaker 7: off the sideline for the rest of the year starting 1670 01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:27,120 Speaker 7: in that game. Well after he gets tossed, the Niners 1671 01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:29,479 Speaker 7: go on a twenty one to nothing run and just 1672 01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:30,240 Speaker 7: blow them out. 1673 01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:31,080 Speaker 2: As like whoa. 1674 01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:33,320 Speaker 7: That was kind of the first time you kind of 1675 01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:35,680 Speaker 7: stood up and went, okay, they were the Eagles were 1676 01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:38,280 Speaker 7: finding away. They found a way to be Kansas City 1677 01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:39,960 Speaker 7: on a Monday night. They found a way to be 1678 01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:42,599 Speaker 7: Buffalo at home. They're finding a way to win games. 1679 01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,840 Speaker 2: They're like a you know, a championship team veterans. 1680 01:15:46,080 --> 01:15:48,280 Speaker 7: They're turning it on when they need to. They're winning 1681 01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:52,479 Speaker 7: these games in the fourth quarter, YadA, YadA, YadA. But 1682 01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:56,760 Speaker 7: yet there were cracks and when at when the forty 1683 01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:58,680 Speaker 7: nine ers came in, it just kicked him around like 1684 01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:02,280 Speaker 7: it was like wow, wow. They never responded, And then 1685 01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:04,479 Speaker 7: you started hearing some rumblings about man, things in the 1686 01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:07,240 Speaker 7: locker room aren't that great. You know, there's some sniping 1687 01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:10,040 Speaker 7: with some stuff. But one of the maiden things that 1688 01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:12,840 Speaker 7: I saw on Monday night. I guess the Bucks was 1689 01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:17,400 Speaker 7: how old they looked. Yeah, a team can go from 1690 01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:19,400 Speaker 7: experience to old very. 1691 01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:22,800 Speaker 2: Quickly just because the names are famous, right, Sometimes that's 1692 01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:27,679 Speaker 2: not always a good thing. Absolutely, And that's just watching him, 1693 01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:31,680 Speaker 2: Like whoa, when David Moore is zipping through your secondary 1694 01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:34,920 Speaker 2: and nobody can touch him. He's quick, though, quick, don't 1695 01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:36,800 Speaker 2: get me wrong. But they had already missed a couple 1696 01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:38,880 Speaker 2: of tackles. Yeah, yeah, they were missing tackles left and 1697 01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:43,480 Speaker 2: right now. That was a psychological rebellion pretty much. Absolutely, 1698 01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:47,960 Speaker 2: so from that perspective, like, wow, this is really tough 1699 01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:50,519 Speaker 2: to watch. I mean if you're an Eagles fan. But 1700 01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:52,280 Speaker 2: to me, the Kody grave is when they couldn't get 1701 01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:54,400 Speaker 2: the brotherly shoved to go in from the one yard 1702 01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:56,000 Speaker 2: line and the Bucks stop him. 1703 01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:57,639 Speaker 7: And the Bucks are the toughest team to run it against, 1704 01:16:57,680 --> 01:16:59,599 Speaker 7: I think, because they got Vitave and I got Greg Gaines. 1705 01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:02,920 Speaker 7: I mean, that's like seven hundred pounds as you're trying 1706 01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:05,400 Speaker 7: to move, and Kelsey's not a big guy. Kelsey gets 1707 01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:06,840 Speaker 7: away with a lot of times because he gets leverage 1708 01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:09,040 Speaker 7: and he just kind of burrows underneath everybody, And of 1709 01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:12,519 Speaker 7: course Jalen squat six hundred pounds. But but Jalen's broken too, 1710 01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:15,719 Speaker 7: and I mean that I was physically his hand was hurt, 1711 01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:16,400 Speaker 7: ankles hurt. 1712 01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:18,160 Speaker 2: I bet there's a lot more wrong with Jalen that 1713 01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:22,400 Speaker 2: we knew. Injury wise, yes, yeah, But and mentally they 1714 01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:24,879 Speaker 2: didn't seem all in the same page. I mean, Dallas Goddard, 1715 01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:27,160 Speaker 2: it just felt what was that, I don't know. I 1716 01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:30,519 Speaker 2: know he was open on the previous play and Hurtz 1717 01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:32,639 Speaker 2: didn't look for him. Was that fourth down? 1718 01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it was or fourth Yeah, he threw 1719 01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:37,559 Speaker 7: that one, and it was just outside of goddard treach 1720 01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:38,000 Speaker 7: or whatever. 1721 01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:40,679 Speaker 2: Fourth that well, I thought he threw it downfield, got 1722 01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:43,880 Speaker 2: her was kind of cutting across, and you've got to 1723 01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:46,000 Speaker 2: figure out a better play on fourth down than that. 1724 01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:50,240 Speaker 2: Can't be doing a low percentage option on fourth and whatever. 1725 01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:52,680 Speaker 7: That's where the Texans kind of come back into this 1726 01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:58,839 Speaker 7: because I I took for granted how valuable Shane Steichen 1727 01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:01,240 Speaker 7: was for the Eagles off in twenty twenty two, in 1728 01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:04,040 Speaker 7: particular twenty twenty one as well. Twenty twenty one was 1729 01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:06,519 Speaker 7: when they kind of crafted that offense around Jalen and 1730 01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:09,000 Speaker 7: what he could do. Twenty twenty two, they took it 1731 01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:10,880 Speaker 7: to a whole different level. They get aj Brown and 1732 01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:11,280 Speaker 7: it's like. 1733 01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:13,439 Speaker 2: Oh wow, go to the super Bowl. 1734 01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:15,960 Speaker 7: They stayed healthy for the most part, and boy, they 1735 01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,160 Speaker 7: go the super Bowl. They look really really good. Steichen 1736 01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:20,160 Speaker 7: takes the Colts job, and all of a sudden, the 1737 01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:24,160 Speaker 7: Colts offense looks a lot like the Eagles offense, and 1738 01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:27,439 Speaker 7: the Eagles offense doesn't look anything like what it was now. 1739 01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:29,280 Speaker 7: I think Brian Johnson's gonna end up being a good 1740 01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:32,240 Speaker 7: offensive coordinator, but it's one of those things where it 1741 01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:35,559 Speaker 7: was really, really really successful doing it this way, So 1742 01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:37,479 Speaker 7: I guarantee there's a lot of pressure to do it 1743 01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:40,840 Speaker 7: that way, and maybe Johnson's not that comfortable and there's 1744 01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:46,639 Speaker 7: a rhythm there. Every offensive coordinator is just different, even 1745 01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:48,599 Speaker 7: you could be running the same thing, and I. 1746 01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:50,280 Speaker 2: Think that's why when Bobby Slow it came here. But 1747 01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:53,080 Speaker 2: it's like, oh yeah, forty nine or stuff. There are 1748 01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:54,839 Speaker 2: some forty nine er elements in this offense. 1749 01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,599 Speaker 7: But Bobby's starting to make it his, which I think 1750 01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,240 Speaker 7: is fascinating to watch, and he's got a different I'm 1751 01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:04,519 Speaker 7: in rhythm to his to the way he does things 1752 01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:07,719 Speaker 7: and the play calls and when he calls things. That's 1753 01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:09,800 Speaker 7: what every offensive coordinator has to find. I don't think 1754 01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:13,000 Speaker 7: Brian Johnson ever got there. With the Eagles and Stiken, 1755 01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:17,280 Speaker 7: I think showed how valuable he was. They truly became 1756 01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:20,040 Speaker 7: broken to me when they took the defensive coordinator play 1757 01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:23,600 Speaker 7: calling away from Sean Decai and gave to Matt Patricia. 1758 01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:27,280 Speaker 2: And that's where I went, They're done. It's done. That's 1759 01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:30,400 Speaker 2: a tough look. It's a tough look because we all 1760 01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:34,120 Speaker 2: saw Patricia on the sidelines with Detroit, unable to get 1761 01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:36,679 Speaker 2: it done. Then we saw him again with the Patriots 1762 01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:40,439 Speaker 2: as an offensive coordinator sort of unable to get it done. 1763 01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:43,960 Speaker 2: Now as a defensive coordinator in New England, got it done. 1764 01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:49,120 Speaker 2: But guess who's overseeing that. Let's see Belichick overseeing a 1765 01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:55,439 Speaker 2: coordinator coordinating and orchestrating a defense versus Nick Siriani down 1766 01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:57,800 Speaker 2: the hall. How's it going with the d Matt, how's 1767 01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:01,680 Speaker 2: it going. I don't want to, you know, belittle Sirianna 1768 01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:03,320 Speaker 2: this way. I guess I just did, But you get 1769 01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:06,240 Speaker 2: my drift here. Yeah, they're talking about Belichick. It's different 1770 01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:07,920 Speaker 2: here's the decision that he was have to make. I 1771 01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:09,400 Speaker 2: think it's a decision a lot of teams have to make, 1772 01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:10,839 Speaker 2: given the teams to the loss of the playoffs. 1773 01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:16,679 Speaker 7: Harbaugh Belichick, those two, I don't know. I'm probably missing medium. 1774 01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:22,519 Speaker 7: Pete Carroll, is your coach right now with your playoff team, 1775 01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:27,760 Speaker 7: in particular, better than what Bill Belichick could do for 1776 01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:29,400 Speaker 7: you or what Jim Harll. 1777 01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:31,719 Speaker 2: I totally get this. I totally get this. You bring 1778 01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:35,040 Speaker 2: those guys into a situation where the rosters loaded or 1779 01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:39,200 Speaker 2: loaded enough apparently, does that get it done? Does that 1780 01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:42,320 Speaker 2: change things? By the way, one item from last night 1781 01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:46,840 Speaker 2: seeing the Falcons tweet, we interviewed Bill Belichick. Now every 1782 01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:48,640 Speaker 2: team does stuff like this, We were doing it in 1783 01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:52,040 Speaker 2: search of our head coaches. We interviewed Igiro Rivero or 1784 01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:55,679 Speaker 2: whoever else. All the interviews that took place, great, great, great, 1785 01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,479 Speaker 2: But to see what Belichick, I thought it was NFL memes. 1786 01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:00,519 Speaker 2: I thought it was a parody account for a moment. 1787 01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:04,280 Speaker 2: It didn't look right Belichick being interviewed by the Falcons, 1788 01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:08,280 Speaker 2: and the comments were hilarious, like, no, he interviewed you 1789 01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:11,360 Speaker 2: or The interview took twenty eight minutes and three seconds. 1790 01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:14,080 Speaker 2: I get it, I get it. But that kind of 1791 01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:17,599 Speaker 2: stuff is really funny with Bill Belichick on the market, 1792 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:20,840 Speaker 2: shopping his services around the league. And yeah, if you 1793 01:21:20,880 --> 01:21:23,880 Speaker 2: do have a loaded roster, you're looking at your coach. Hey, 1794 01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:26,679 Speaker 2: thanks a lot for everything. But I got the greatest 1795 01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:30,360 Speaker 2: coach ever maybe over here and he can step right in. Yeah. 1796 01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:33,120 Speaker 2: And I mean, like you said, is there is it 1797 01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:35,320 Speaker 2: a guarantee of success? No? 1798 01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:38,760 Speaker 7: But when he hinted a pretty talented roster and a 1799 01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:42,000 Speaker 7: quarterback with a pulse. Belichick has done some things. 1800 01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:44,920 Speaker 2: He has. But let me ask you this. You owned 1801 01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:48,040 Speaker 2: the team right own? Which team you own? Let's say 1802 01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,640 Speaker 2: the Cowboys. I'm giving you the cow Oh God, and 1803 01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:54,719 Speaker 2: you've decided that you're gonna move on from Mike McCarthy. 1804 01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:57,520 Speaker 2: Let's just go there for a moment, and Bill Belichick 1805 01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:01,000 Speaker 2: is being interviewed by you. I know what questions you 1806 01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:05,320 Speaker 2: have because you feel like, am I disrespecting him if 1807 01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:08,640 Speaker 2: I question some of the moves he might make and 1808 01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:11,240 Speaker 2: the people he might bring into the building. Are you 1809 01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:13,840 Speaker 2: bringing in Matt Patricia? Are you bringing now? I like 1810 01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:17,559 Speaker 2: Josh McDaniels as an offensive coordinator, but what else are 1811 01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:21,920 Speaker 2: you doing that might not have worked before. So at 1812 01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:24,360 Speaker 2: the same time that you want them, you also have 1813 01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:26,599 Speaker 2: some questions about how he's going to handle things because 1814 01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,400 Speaker 2: it didn't go well in New England the last few years. Overall. 1815 01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:31,840 Speaker 2: I know he went to the playoffs with mac Jones once, 1816 01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:33,760 Speaker 2: but you get what I'm saying. One of the things 1817 01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:36,280 Speaker 2: I heard Belichick say, and this would be one of 1818 01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:38,960 Speaker 2: the things that as an owner I would want to know. 1819 01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:43,960 Speaker 2: Like I heard Belichick say, you know what, I've been 1820 01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:46,439 Speaker 2: in this so long, I just want people around me, 1821 01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:53,360 Speaker 2: coaches mostly that I enjoy coaching with, and that's like 1822 01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:55,360 Speaker 2: we all do to a certain degree. 1823 01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:58,280 Speaker 7: But to win in the league, if you're going to 1824 01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:01,560 Speaker 7: bypass a good coach that you don't know how he 1825 01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:04,320 Speaker 7: would mesh with you because you're gonna go with the 1826 01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:07,960 Speaker 7: coach that you're just accustomed to and used to, well, 1827 01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:11,599 Speaker 7: you may, you know, you may end up flaming out 1828 01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:14,360 Speaker 7: whereas you know what, Hey, this offense coordinator, maybe you've 1829 01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:16,479 Speaker 7: never known him, but he as a good young coach. 1830 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:19,400 Speaker 7: Maybe it's you take a chance on him. That to 1831 01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:21,639 Speaker 7: me would be the question as an owner. I would say, Look, 1832 01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:23,720 Speaker 7: I know you've had a lot of people that have 1833 01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:25,559 Speaker 7: worked for you over all these years, and you got 1834 01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:28,360 Speaker 7: very comfortable with people you had around you, especially in 1835 01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:28,960 Speaker 7: New England. 1836 01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:31,040 Speaker 2: How would you. 1837 01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:33,559 Speaker 7: Feel about shaking up your staff a little bit and 1838 01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:37,360 Speaker 7: bringing in some younger staff members that can build and 1839 01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:40,200 Speaker 7: grow under your leadership. I think a tough one would 1840 01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:44,519 Speaker 7: be maybe would you bring Josh McDaniels back, Because to me, 1841 01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:46,719 Speaker 7: Josh McDaniels one hell of an offense coordinator. 1842 01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:51,120 Speaker 2: Right, he's a really good offensive coordinator, whether Tom Brady 1843 01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:54,080 Speaker 2: was in there or not. Right, Josh McDaniels proved he 1844 01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:56,920 Speaker 2: could call plays and be very, very successful. So if 1845 01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:01,360 Speaker 2: you thought about the Cowboys with Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels, 1846 01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:04,320 Speaker 2: is the offensive cocording to start start there? And you 1847 01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:07,599 Speaker 2: start with that man? Now? 1848 01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:09,920 Speaker 7: Will they both walk in and go, hey, Dak's not 1849 01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:13,080 Speaker 7: our guy and that's gonna be well? 1850 01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:15,439 Speaker 2: That's another question in the interview. Can you win with 1851 01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:16,240 Speaker 2: Dak Prescott? 1852 01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:16,479 Speaker 5: Right? 1853 01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:19,840 Speaker 2: And not only can you win, how will you win 1854 01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:22,320 Speaker 2: with Dak? What is it and how will you win 1855 01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:24,679 Speaker 2: with that? I know this is not Cowboys All access, 1856 01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:26,640 Speaker 2: but I feel like you've got to be able to 1857 01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:30,280 Speaker 2: win with Dak Prescott considering what he does do for 1858 01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:34,000 Speaker 2: much of the time, which is execute, throw touchdown passes, 1859 01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:36,320 Speaker 2: win football games. They won a lot of games there. 1860 01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:38,040 Speaker 2: It's just that when they get to the moment of 1861 01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:41,880 Speaker 2: truth and doesn't go so well. And guess what, when 1862 01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:44,040 Speaker 2: did they win a playoff game, most recently on the 1863 01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:47,920 Speaker 2: road last year? I think for some reason playing in 1864 01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:49,920 Speaker 2: that building. What have I always said about that building? 1865 01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:51,720 Speaker 2: I know they won all the games at home there 1866 01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:53,120 Speaker 2: this year, and it goes back to last year, the 1867 01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:56,960 Speaker 2: streak they had prior to the postseason loss. But when 1868 01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:00,559 Speaker 2: they get home, I don't like that home field advantage 1869 01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:02,479 Speaker 2: for them. I just don't like it. And in the 1870 01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:06,080 Speaker 2: postseason there's just something about it. Well, something goes wrong. 1871 01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:08,280 Speaker 2: Even at Texas Stadium. It was like that with Romo. 1872 01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:10,720 Speaker 7: We talked about the Ravens a little while ago, and 1873 01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:14,599 Speaker 7: the Ravens they've won playoff games, that won Super Bowls, 1874 01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:19,160 Speaker 7: They've done all that. But the most recent playoff situation 1875 01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:23,400 Speaker 7: for the Ravens was that home in twenty nineteen. Well, 1876 01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:25,200 Speaker 7: I take it back. They went on the road in 1877 01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:26,559 Speaker 7: twenty twenty one and. 1878 01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:27,679 Speaker 2: Beat the Titans. 1879 01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:30,519 Speaker 7: Titans twenty or twenty twenty one, it was twenty twenty 1880 01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:32,200 Speaker 7: they beat the Titans in the COVID year. Oh the 1881 01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:34,360 Speaker 7: next year, yeah, the next year was when the Titans 1882 01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:35,200 Speaker 7: lost the Bengals. 1883 01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:37,639 Speaker 2: So yeah, the Bengals knocked them off as the top seed. 1884 01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:39,280 Speaker 7: Right, so this is the first time back in the 1885 01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:43,400 Speaker 7: playoffs for the Ravens since twenty twenty one, twenty Yeah. 1886 01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:45,479 Speaker 2: Well no, they made it last year. Well, that's right, 1887 01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:47,040 Speaker 2: they lost to the Bengals. They I mean, they make 1888 01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:48,559 Speaker 2: it a lot, they just don't win a lot. 1889 01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:51,040 Speaker 7: But this is the This is the first home game 1890 01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:54,879 Speaker 7: for the Ravens, first home playoff game for the Ravens 1891 01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:58,200 Speaker 7: since twenty nineteen, since the Titans beat them and then. Yeah, 1892 01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:00,719 Speaker 7: so that's going to be fresh on them of everybody. 1893 01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:02,800 Speaker 7: And I think that also goes to Dallas, Like those 1894 01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:05,280 Speaker 7: fans walk in there like, oh no, here we go again. 1895 01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:10,920 Speaker 7: And then when Green bay Lands Major blows early seven nothing, fourteen, nothing, 1896 01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:13,680 Speaker 7: twenty one nothing, now you feel that, you feel that 1897 01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:14,720 Speaker 7: whole building just. 1898 01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:19,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, this tight the area and they play it that way. 1899 01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:20,880 Speaker 7: And that's kind of the way the Texans have got to, 1900 01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:24,840 Speaker 7: you know, play the Ravens. You can't play tight. You know, 1901 01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:26,800 Speaker 7: you're not supposed to be there or whatever you want 1902 01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,800 Speaker 7: to say, and you just rock you, you just play 1903 01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:31,679 Speaker 7: and you let them deal with the pressure. 1904 01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:35,000 Speaker 2: All right, One more segment here.

All right, Johnny, quick look, 1910 01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,519 Speaker 2: And I know we can dive deeper into this, but 1911 01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:53,960 Speaker 2: this time feels like the first time. I'm not gonna 1912 01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:55,760 Speaker 2: go foreigner like I did at the beginning of the show. 1913 01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,080 Speaker 2: It feels like twenty eleven in the freshness of it 1914 01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:01,920 Speaker 2: in a way. Yeah, that was the first time you 1915 01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,080 Speaker 2: ever went and it felt great and it was a 1916 01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:07,439 Speaker 2: great team, except for you were playing a rookie quarterback. 1917 01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:09,439 Speaker 2: Who's not this rookie quarterback. And I don't want to 1918 01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:12,000 Speaker 2: take anything away from TJ. Yates Texans legend. They should 1919 01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:15,760 Speaker 2: build a statue. I love TJ. Yates, But we all 1920 01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:17,559 Speaker 2: knew that it was going to be tough, and it 1921 01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:19,559 Speaker 2: was tough, and you were facing a Ravens team that 1922 01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:21,920 Speaker 2: was in the middle of a tremendous run of a 1923 01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:24,000 Speaker 2: lot of playoff wins and then finally broke through to 1924 01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:27,080 Speaker 2: win a super Bowl the following year, So they weren't 1925 01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:29,519 Speaker 2: able to get that done. I said this before, I 1926 01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:33,240 Speaker 2: feel like this is the best shot heading into the game, 1927 01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:35,920 Speaker 2: heading into the divisional round game. Obviously twenty four to 1928 01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:39,559 Speaker 2: nothing is your best shot, but heading in, I feel like, Hey, 1929 01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:43,479 Speaker 2: this bunch of Texans, they're good to go. They're young, 1930 01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:46,559 Speaker 2: they're energetic, they got a great young quarterback. They've got 1931 01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:49,400 Speaker 2: a lot of other really cool things going for them 1932 01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:52,120 Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the ball as well, whether 1933 01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:56,040 Speaker 2: they're causing turnovers, playing loose free. They feel like they 1934 01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:59,519 Speaker 2: not are invincible, but they can do what they are 1935 01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:03,160 Speaker 2: setting up out to do, which is keep advancing every week, 1936 01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:06,479 Speaker 2: keep playing. I feel that good about this. Yeah, And 1937 01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:08,920 Speaker 2: you know would have who would have the least issue 1938 01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:10,280 Speaker 2: with you, with you saying t J. 1939 01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:14,640 Speaker 7: Yates is not CJ Stroud TJJ y TJ understands. I 1940 01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:17,479 Speaker 7: mean we've talked to TJ about that, uh for a while. 1941 01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:20,320 Speaker 2: He understands. You know, it's a rookie, that's a that's 1942 01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:20,800 Speaker 2: a tough go. 1943 01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:23,360 Speaker 7: I mean you're you're looking across and you're seeing what 1944 01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:25,840 Speaker 7: ray Lewis ed Reid, you know, and you're a. 1945 01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:28,000 Speaker 2: Rookie and you have to face ray Lewis and then 1946 01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:30,880 Speaker 2: you're looking at the years with the third quarterback. 1947 01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:35,040 Speaker 7: I mean, was he even I don't even yeah, oh 1948 01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:39,400 Speaker 7: that's his that I mean, you face the Bengals, Okay, 1949 01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:41,160 Speaker 7: that's one thing, but now you're on the road. Now 1950 01:28:41,160 --> 01:28:43,160 Speaker 7: you face those guys, and you know TJ made a 1951 01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:45,160 Speaker 7: couple of plays in that game, but obviously the three 1952 01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:48,400 Speaker 7: interceptions were killers. But Jacoby Jones dribbling the ball off 1953 01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:50,600 Speaker 7: his forehead after you had taken a leader early in 1954 01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:53,800 Speaker 7: that game, going down and taking the lead earlier, like good, 1955 01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,519 Speaker 7: good drive, Like man, you you landing at first punch, 1956 01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:58,719 Speaker 7: you cut the Russian and then all of a sudden 1957 01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:02,519 Speaker 7: you just yeah, and then it's snowballs. And now you're 1958 01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:05,200 Speaker 7: trudging uphill the rest of the time. And now they 1959 01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:07,719 Speaker 7: can just kind of keep you at bay. The pressure 1960 01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:10,680 Speaker 7: is not really on them at that point. It's on 1961 01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:13,840 Speaker 7: you to just chip away at that lead and get 1962 01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:15,200 Speaker 7: back in the game and see if you can get 1963 01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:17,800 Speaker 7: it back to a one possession deficit. That's what the 1964 01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,400 Speaker 7: Texans hopefully can flip that's hopefully they could be. 1965 01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:23,000 Speaker 2: The one kind of pawn at them, like, hey, we 1966 01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:23,599 Speaker 2: got the lead. 1967 01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:24,840 Speaker 7: You know, it's a three point lead, it's a ten 1968 01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:26,600 Speaker 7: point lead, it's a six point lead, it's this, and 1969 01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:28,519 Speaker 7: you could just keep them at bay. But the pressure 1970 01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:31,559 Speaker 7: just keeps mounting the longer that they trail. 1971 01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:35,040 Speaker 2: You know what I was thinking about this morning that 1972 01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:38,160 Speaker 2: game in twenty eleven. Came out of that game feeling 1973 01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:40,240 Speaker 2: great about the season. That was because it was an 1974 01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:44,679 Speaker 2: unprecedented season, but also everybody was saying it, we got 1975 01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:46,680 Speaker 2: to play this game at home. We got to have 1976 01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:49,840 Speaker 2: home field for this round, for all the rounds if 1977 01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:52,839 Speaker 2: you can. But when you go on the road, obviously 1978 01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:55,519 Speaker 2: you take all those road risks, and more often than 1979 01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:58,040 Speaker 2: not you're in a cold weather environment. Whatever that entails. 1980 01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:01,120 Speaker 2: Got to play at home the whole next year. The 1981 01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:04,240 Speaker 2: battle cry was home field, home field, home field. And 1982 01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:06,240 Speaker 2: then when they didn't get it, losing three out of 1983 01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:08,519 Speaker 2: four down the stretch, it was bummer city going to 1984 01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:10,640 Speaker 2: that postseason. I give Kubiak all the credit in the 1985 01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:13,599 Speaker 2: world after the meltdown because the first thing he said 1986 01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:15,519 Speaker 2: of the post game after losing to the Colts the 1987 01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:18,360 Speaker 2: last game of the regular season was I'm excited this 1988 01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:20,280 Speaker 2: is the postseason. He had to get his team together 1989 01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:23,760 Speaker 2: real quick, short week, play Saturday and take on a 1990 01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:25,559 Speaker 2: Bengals team that was even better than the one they 1991 01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:28,840 Speaker 2: faced the year before, and they beat them in a 1992 01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:32,200 Speaker 2: playoff game, which no one was really impressed with at 1993 01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:34,960 Speaker 2: the time because of having blown three out of the 1994 01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:38,080 Speaker 2: last four and home field advantaged throughout. But just getting 1995 01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:41,240 Speaker 2: over that I thought was a big hurdle to right 1996 01:30:41,320 --> 01:30:43,200 Speaker 2: the ship. But then they went to New England and 1997 01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:45,759 Speaker 2: got their doors blown off in the second half after 1998 01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:47,880 Speaker 2: trailing only by fourth to break and I. 1999 01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:51,920 Speaker 7: Think mentality, mentality going into a game when I think 2000 01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:57,080 Speaker 7: about when I think about the obviously, sixteen and nineteen 2001 01:30:57,120 --> 01:31:00,559 Speaker 7: for me are the two division round games I missed. 2002 01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:03,479 Speaker 7: Eleven and twelve. It felt like twenty eleven was it's 2003 01:31:03,479 --> 01:31:06,799 Speaker 7: the first time in this thing. Eyes are wide open. However, 2004 01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:10,519 Speaker 7: we have a rookie quarterback, it's only started a handful 2005 01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:12,280 Speaker 7: of games at the end of the year, still kind. 2006 01:31:12,200 --> 01:31:14,160 Speaker 2: Of a real, real wild card as to what he'll do. 2007 01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:16,760 Speaker 7: And unfortunately against Baltimore, you know you saw TJ throw 2008 01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:23,080 Speaker 7: three interceptions twenty twelve, I felt like that team was tired, fatigued, exhausted, 2009 01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:25,720 Speaker 7: beat down broken. A little bit after that that New 2010 01:31:25,720 --> 01:31:28,240 Speaker 7: England game, you know, the letter jackets all that, and 2011 01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:30,400 Speaker 7: then obviously you saw that kind of manifest itself maybe 2012 01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:33,439 Speaker 7: the next year in twenty thirteen, twenty sixteen, when we 2013 01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:36,519 Speaker 7: went up to New England. I remember thinking, this defense 2014 01:31:36,640 --> 01:31:39,000 Speaker 7: is on it. Yeah, I'm excited to watch it. And 2015 01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:41,400 Speaker 7: they were, and they were and they were incredible that night. 2016 01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:44,840 Speaker 7: It's just, Okay, Brock is going back into quarterback? Do 2017 01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:47,479 Speaker 7: we really trust this that? That was kind of my feeling, like. 2018 01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:51,960 Speaker 2: I'm the touchdown pass to who in the Fwitz for Doorwitz. Yeah, 2019 01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:56,479 Speaker 2: And then it was like Clowney Will dropped that deep ball, 2020 01:31:56,520 --> 01:31:58,439 Speaker 2: Actually the best ball I ever saw. Brock throws that 2021 01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:01,320 Speaker 2: deep ball that Brock or that dropped going into the 2022 01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:03,280 Speaker 2: end zone to our right. Here's what can't happen in 2023 01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:08,599 Speaker 2: this game? That or in twenty twelve, Danielle Manning almost 2024 01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:10,559 Speaker 2: goes all the way for a touchdown on the kickoff 2025 01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:13,559 Speaker 2: return to open the game. You've got a first in 2026 01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:16,280 Speaker 2: goal and you end up with a field goal. Correct. 2027 01:32:16,360 --> 01:32:19,600 Speaker 2: James Casey dropped the touchdown pass love James, but not 2028 01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:23,080 Speaker 2: a good moment right there, and that was bummer City. 2029 01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:26,439 Speaker 2: Gotta be able to convert those opportunities. You're on the road, 2030 01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:29,080 Speaker 2: you're an underdog this game. I can't believe the line 2031 01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:31,320 Speaker 2: in this coming game with the Ravens. I can't believe it. 2032 01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:34,800 Speaker 2: You cannot afford to make mistakes like that. I mean, 2033 01:32:34,840 --> 01:32:37,439 Speaker 2: if you do, you got to rebound. Obviously, bounce back, 2034 01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:41,599 Speaker 2: face adversity, deal with it. But if the opportunity presents itself, 2035 01:32:41,840 --> 01:32:45,000 Speaker 2: must take advantage. In Week one? Many touchdowns do we 2036 01:32:45,040 --> 01:32:48,479 Speaker 2: score Week one? Yep? I guess the Ravens. How many 2037 01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:52,439 Speaker 2: touchdowns do we score? Zero? Right? Correct? It was fairbaron City, Bingo. 2038 01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:55,720 Speaker 2: That's the whole point. You just said it. 2039 01:32:56,240 --> 01:33:00,280 Speaker 7: You can't put a ten play drive seventy yards, you 2040 01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:01,960 Speaker 7: get down to the five, but you can't score. 2041 01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:03,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got to. 2042 01:33:04,040 --> 01:33:07,920 Speaker 7: Now there's a point in the game in which points. 2043 01:33:08,080 --> 01:33:09,479 Speaker 2: More, pile them up. 2044 01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:12,719 Speaker 7: But you've got to put touchdowns up on the board 2045 01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:15,639 Speaker 7: because these guys are going to score touchdowns. They're gonna 2046 01:33:15,640 --> 01:33:19,120 Speaker 7: score touchdowns with Isaiah likely and Mark Andrews down the 2047 01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:22,360 Speaker 7: red zone, which I'm assuming Andrews is gonna play. They 2048 01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:23,880 Speaker 7: just have enough ways to beat you down in the 2049 01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:26,439 Speaker 7: red zone. They're gonna score touchdowns, so when you get 2050 01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:28,640 Speaker 7: in range, you better score touchdowns. 2051 01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:31,639 Speaker 2: I think those guys should rest up for the offset. 2052 01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:37,040 Speaker 2: Absolutely can't trip needs your healthy. Absolutely got to is 2053 01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:39,400 Speaker 2: there was there a boat trip to Cabo or something 2054 01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:42,640 Speaker 2: last week with these guys. Anything from Miami. Nothing. I know, 2055 01:33:43,040 --> 01:33:45,599 Speaker 2: I got a feeling Obj maybe learning his loss. Yeah, 2056 01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:49,040 Speaker 2: Obj was part of that Giants photo. Right. They removed 2057 01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:51,320 Speaker 2: that curse last year beating the Vikings in Minnesota in 2058 01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:54,760 Speaker 2: the postseason. They did no Jessica Simpson know nothing, huh, 2059 01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:56,439 Speaker 2: darn it, darn it. 2060 01:33:56,400 --> 01:34:00,600 Speaker 7: Nothing to take them down seemingly, seemingly except for the 2061 01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:04,200 Speaker 7: Houston Texans. And you know, I think you know the 2062 01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:07,160 Speaker 7: mentality of this team going in and you know, of 2063 01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:09,519 Speaker 7: course the last Division Around playoff game we went was 2064 01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:14,000 Speaker 7: just you know, chalk full of errors, you know, after 2065 01:34:14,040 --> 01:34:14,639 Speaker 7: twenty four. 2066 01:34:14,520 --> 01:34:16,559 Speaker 2: To nothing, Yeah and shock full. 2067 01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:18,760 Speaker 7: I mean the Chiefs maybe would have gotten back in 2068 01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:22,519 Speaker 7: against that defense that day, yeah, maybe, but you can't 2069 01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:24,120 Speaker 7: hand it to him on a platter. You can't be 2070 01:34:24,240 --> 01:34:26,320 Speaker 7: up twenty four to nothing starting the second quarter and 2071 01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:28,280 Speaker 7: be down twenty eight to twenty four and to. 2072 01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:31,639 Speaker 2: A half time. Yeah, that shit. I laugh out of pain, 2073 01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:34,640 Speaker 2: because if I didn't, I cry. So my son asked me, like, 2074 01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:36,360 Speaker 2: didn't you feel like you know you're only down four 2075 01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:38,280 Speaker 2: to a half. I said, that wasn't the feeling, trust me. 2076 01:34:38,479 --> 01:34:41,679 Speaker 2: That was not the feeling of oh, you're only down four. 2077 01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:44,000 Speaker 2: The feeling was this is hopeless because you were up 2078 01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:46,839 Speaker 2: twenty four to nothing and you just allowed four consecutive touchdowns. 2079 01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:49,120 Speaker 2: And yep, good night everybody, all right, speaking up, good 2080 01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:53,160 Speaker 2: night everybody.
