1
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: Now times again to what happened. It's Texans Monday, presented

2
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: by Houston Methodist CJ.

3
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 2: Takes an e. It is over. The Houston Texans get.

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 3: The job done in a big way, defeating the San

5
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 3: Francisco forty nine Ers twenty six fifteen.

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: They had to have it, They got it.

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 3: They played outstanding offense for much of the afternoon, and

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: the defense came up with the big stops when needed,

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 3: and Houston goes to three and four With Denver up

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 3: next week at home. The home stand starts with a band.

11
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 3: Absolutely had to have that game against the San Francisco

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: forty nine ers to have any kind of season that

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 3: you dreamed of having. I mean, you can always win

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: ten in a row or whatever if you lost yesterday,

15
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 3: but come on, you needed that game against the forty

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 3: nine ers. You needed it for a variety of reasons,

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: not just for your record, but to show, oh, you

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 3: can do it, you can beat a team that's good.

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 3: They were injury ridden, no doubt, but the Texans were

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 3: playing without Nico Collins and Christian Kirk, so I thought

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: that kind of canceled things out at least in that

22
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 3: matchup offense versus defense and you're able to pass protect

23
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 3: get CJ.

24
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: Stroud time he looked like the virtuos.

25
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 4: So he is.

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: And defensively, need I say more? Demigo Rans when he

27
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: left San Francisco had the number one defense in points

28
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 3: and yards. Right now he has the number one defense

29
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 3: in points and yards. It's that good on that side

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: of the football. And the Texans go to three and

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: four with Denver up on Sunday. And Denver just blasted

32
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: the Cowboys out of the building at Mile High yesterday,

33
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: so they're feeling fat and happy coming in here for

34
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: a nooner.

35
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: And it's big, and it's on. We have a season.

36
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: Yes it was zero and three, Yes, bad game at

37
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: Seattle Monday night, but here we go. This is the

38
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: time to make hay for your tech. With six home games,

39
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: four roadies, two of them in the Division and the

40
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: other two at Kansas City at the Chargers.

41
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: Let's go, Johnny, it is on. You've got a chance here.

42
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: But the AFC good teams all over the place, at

43
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: least teams with good records. We'll see how it goes.

44
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: All you can do is take care of your business

45
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: starting Sunday. Good morning.

46
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: Well that's the thing. It's you know, we've talked about

47
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: this with the Titans and the Ravens, and in this

48
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: one it's you know, you play who's out on the

49
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 2: field like they're still wearing the Niners logos. You gotta

50
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: talk about the injuries. Look, the Niners played the Falcons

51
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: on Sunday night. Nobody was talking about how banged up

52
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: the Niners were. Is they beat the Falcons by ten

53
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: and beat them up. Yep, you know, nobody talked about, well,

54
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: you know, the forty nine ers don't have this guy

55
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: and that guy after Christian McCaffrey went off for like

56
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 2: two hundred plus total total offensive yards. So you play

57
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: what's in front of you, You play the team in

58
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: front of you, and you go out there and you

59
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: do what you have to do for that particular game

60
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: to win a game. And I know it funny. I

61
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: was as I was driving in was listening to Sean Seth,

62
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: and Sewan asked, I think a really good question is like,

63
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: how could you go fifteen days and prepare for a

64
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: team and play that way on Monday night and then

65
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: turn around after a short week and get it together

66
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: and play against another really good team, but play the

67
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: way you did yesterday and look, you try to hyperanalyze

68
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: it like that, you just forget about it.

69
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 5: Man.

70
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: There are just times where everything clicks, everything's right. You

71
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: get a few things to happen early in the game

72
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: that gets you rolling. I mean having games that we've

73
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: been to where like in twenty fifteen we played the Dolphins,

74
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: nothing goes right, We're down forty two to nothing.

75
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: At the half, forty two to nothing.

76
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: Had we played the Dolphins later in the year, I

77
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: think it probably would have been us winning because we

78
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: got hot, we started to get a little bit of confidence,

79
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: et cetera. And I thought that wasn't even a great

80
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: Miami team get right, And so I think it's you know,

81
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: they're just things that happen in a season that you're like,

82
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: what the man. But we all knew as we watched

83
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: that Seattle game. As we were there in Seattle watching it,

84
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: we're like, Okay, Seattle's good, but we're not. We're not

85
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: helping the cause. Right, you could play a lot better.

86
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: You could play a lot better. And yesterday they started

87
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: getting hot and started getting things working. And I think

88
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: a game is about timing, too, about when when you

89
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 2: have to come up with a positive player, you have

90
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: to come up with a positive drive, can you? And

91
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: I asked a Miko and you will hear this interview

92
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: later after the game. He had some interesting things to say.

93
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: But I asked him about coming out of halftime and

94
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: I told him, I said, you know, at the halftime break,

95
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 2: I said, you know, you and I have been doing

96
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: this for three years. Coach, we meet at halftime. We

97
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: talked for about a minute and we go on and

98
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: I was like, I could feel the steam coming out

99
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: of your ears at the end of the half, and

100
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: he he kind of laughed at JA.

101
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I did have some steam come out of my ears.

102
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: And so to me, the drive coming out of the

103
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: half was huge because if they got it to sixteen

104
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: to seven, which they did, then they picked it off

105
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: and it ends the half. Now they got all kinds

106
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 2: of momentum, their red clad fans are going nuts. And

107
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: then what'd you do the first drive the second half?

108
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 2: Stuffed them, stuffed them three and out yep, stuffed them,

109
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 2: got the ball back, went down and kicked the field

110
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: going one up nine And that what I wasn't obviously

111
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 2: the end of the game, but it was a huge

112
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: turning point to me.

113
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: No, no, you got the touchdown. Then right, No, hang

114
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: on a second, you got you didn't know. I think

115
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: you got the touchdown because look, third quarter, they punt

116
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: to you.

117
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 2: I'm going over the drive chart here, and then that's

118
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: when you went, I'm sorry you went. That made it

119
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: twenty three to seven.

120
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: That was the big ninety four yard drive. He threw

121
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: the ball to X for the score.

122
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: Again for the Prouce, but point the fact that that drive,

123
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: that three and out stop. They do a nice job

124
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: of piniony inside the ten, and yet you just come

125
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: out and slice him to death on a ninety four

126
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: yard drive. When have we seen that It's been more yards. Yeah, yeah,

127
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: it's been a while.

128
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: When that happened, I thought, okay, you got at least

129
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 3: get a couple of first downs here, put them on

130
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: the lost. That's your defense can go to work, because

131
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 3: you mentioned that at the end of the first half,

132
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: not only did you have the special team's mistake where

133
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: they got the return of the fifty, you got the

134
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 3: face mask face. Now they have thirty five yard line

135
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 3: back bang, they're in the end zone and you're thinking,

136
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: oh my goodness. And then when the pick was thrown Leonor,

137
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: I I'm looking at Lenore because I got to look

138
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: at Lenoir. I can't look at the clock, but I'm thinking,

139
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 3: why doesn't he get out of bounds and set them

140
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: up for a long field goal or something. But it's

141
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 3: hard for him to probably watch the clock as well.

142
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 3: In his mind, he's thinking this is touchdown or bust

143
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: right here, because he as soon as he started dancing

144
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 3: around and doing the dipsy doodle, I thought, okay, clock's

145
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: running out. At least they dodged the bullet as far

146
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 3: as any more points on the board, because you're right

147
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 3: sixteen ten at the break and they get the ball right,

148
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: that would have been catastrophe. I mean, under the circumstances.

149
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 3: But you're able to keep the stiff arm. But Johnny,

150
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 3: let's go later on in the game when somehow, some

151
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: way it becomes a one score game. You're up eight,

152
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 3: and you need to have the drive, at least a

153
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: field goal drive, and that's what they got. They got

154
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: a long field goal drive out of it, and they

155
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: go up two scores. And it's exhaled a little bit

156
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 3: because you know the defense was eating but you just

157
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: didn't want to see the forty nine ers have any

158
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 3: life in a one score game late.

159
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, that's exactly what you didn't want In all I.

160
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: All I was doing was flashing back four years because

161
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: when we played the Patriots when Mac was when Mac

162
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: was a rookie with the Patriots, we had a big

163
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: lead on them. Now we kind of created our own

164
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: situation in that one, but Mac brought them back. Yeah,

165
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: and I thought Max's the kind of got to be

166
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: able to do that. And I was worried about that,

167
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: and the defense just said, no, not on this day.

168
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: I think I saw this after the and I've always

169
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: liked Kyle Shanahan for the fact that he'll tell it

170
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 2: like it is right. He said this in that quote

171
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: after the game. They kicked our ass, and we've got

172
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: to take it like men and come back, hopefully a

173
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: little pissed off, and play better next week.

174
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 6: They kicked our ass physically, and it's.

175
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 3: Kind of what happened to the Texans last week. We

176
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: get their butts kicked by Seattle. Came back and took

177
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: it like men and took it out of the forty

178
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 3: nine ers, and.

179
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: Just like us, we got it within a score. We

180
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: somehow stayed in the game. The Niners stayed in the game,

181
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: they somehow had it a one score game. It's twenty

182
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: three to fifteen. I'm like, god, dang it. And then,

183
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: like you said, went down kicked the field goal and

184
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 2: made it twenty six to fifteen. And now they've got

185
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 2: to have two scores. Everything works in your your favor.

186
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 2: They get a drive going, Kamari has the interception at

187
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: the one yard line. Years past, that would have been

188
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: games pass. I would have been really really worried about

189
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: having the Baltimoe yard line. In fact, you threw it

190
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: down to me. I'm like, okay, if you don't move it,

191
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 2: you gotta consider take the safety, all those things. And

192
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: then they moved it at least six or seven yards

193
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: to give Tommy Rude the punt. Yeah, and then they'll

194
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: and then stop them again. So uh, it was. It

195
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: was a full performance. I think there are so many,

196
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: so many players that you know, needed to step up.

197
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: We've we've been asked you and I I don't know

198
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: how many times were asked about Okay, well what about

199
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: the receivers of the Nico. What about the receivers of

200
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: the Nico. Well, all you gotta do is instead of

201
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: taking this long dissertation, about what they've got and what

202
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: the potential is. All you gotta do is point to

203
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: this and go here you go, yep, here you go.

204
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: I mean the number of catches X made yesterday. Jalen

205
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 2: Knowle is is here. He is here, and you know

206
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: exactly what I mean by that. He is here and

207
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: you cannot reduce the number of targets he gets. Jayden

208
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 2: Higgins is here, He's making plays. And I loved seeing

209
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 2: and I thought it was interesting that in CJ's conference,

210
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: his very first question he was asked and he talked

211
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: about the receivers. He started mentioning all of them, and

212
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: he got to Jared Wayne. Ironically, he forgot X, the

213
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: guy threw the touchdown too, but he mentioned Jared Wayne,

214
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: and he pointed out how Jared had his first two

215
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: catches of his career. He has never had a catch before,

216
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 2: and he had that big one going across the middle.

217
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: I think was on a third down catch, kind of

218
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 2: a rolling, kind of diving catch in the middle, which

219
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: is a hard case.

220
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 3: Says, Yes, he absolutely does.

221
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: And his path. I mean, we saw it. We saw

222
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: it in preseason, like early in preseason in training camp,

223
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: the first two or three days, I Remember I interviewed

224
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: him after like the third day, and I'm like, dude,

225
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: keep it up, you're playing your guts out. The next

226
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: day he's hurt and now he has to go through this.

227
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: Well he goes, you know, they release him, an injury

228
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: settlement all that. Then they bring him back and they

229
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: put him on practice squad, and then you get an opportunity.

230
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 2: And look, I don't know, Jared Wayne might not catch

231
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: a ball the rest of the year, but the fact

232
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: that he was able to step in there yesterday when

233
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,479
Speaker 2: when this offense needed receivers to step.

234
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 3: Up and big and CJ pointing him out, I thought

235
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 3: was I thought.

236
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: It was really interesting. I thought it was really cool. Yeah,

237
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: he just missed X and he loves X. Two. No, no,

238
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: I know that. How about this?

239
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 3: I wanted to see the Cyclones have five catches a piece.

240
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 3: It almost happened almostcause X had five, Nola had five,

241
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: Higgins had four. I wanted five to five five. Barrios

242
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: snuck in there with his five. How about that? Burrios

243
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 3: was good, He was really good.

244
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: Barrios was good.

245
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: Woody's fifty yard catch and run, I mean everybody contributed. Johnny,

246
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 3: You look, I just listed all those guys with five

247
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 3: catches and you.

248
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 2: Have Woody and Higgins with four apiece. I want to

249
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: read Woodies read Woody stat receiving stat line real fast.

250
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 3: All right, Woody marks four catches forty nine yards along

251
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: of fifty. Okay, so he loves gotcha behind the experimage. Yeah, okay, checkdowns.

252
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 3: It didn't always work. But the fifty yarder, Johnny, we're

253
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: so funny. The net is forty nine. So this will come.

254
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 2: Up with you know, my interview with the Miko, and

255
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: it came up yesterday with the interview or in the

256
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 2: press conference with the Miko talking about all the noise

257
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: and everything that I've been going on throughout the week,

258
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: and I think I think there's this there's a delineation

259
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 2: between noise in things that don't really matter versus hey,

260
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: we can see somebody miss a block, drop a pass,

261
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: see a team not play very well, you know, But

262
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: where it turns into noise is this team sucks. This

263
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 2: team should get rid of this guy. This guy should

264
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: be fired, everybody should be fired. That's that's there's a

265
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 2: difference between noise and people being able outside of the

266
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: building or outside of football being able to analyze what's happening.

267
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: So there's there's a difference in the two. But I

268
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 2: thought it was interesting, is it. You know, as you know,

269
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: people talked about the noise and getting past all of that,

270
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: and I thought Demico's answer was very.

271
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 6: Was very pointed about that, like, hey.

272
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: We can't take the opinions of people that aren't in

273
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: this building, which is absolutely true, because the noise is

274
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: the opinion part of it. The fact part of it

275
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 2: was he didn't play very well in Seattle, and that

276
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 2: was easy to see. We can see that, We definitely

277
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: can see that that's not the noise part. The noise

278
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: part comes in with all the opinions and all that,

279
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: and both CJ addressed it in the locker room and

280
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 2: Demico addressed it in his postgame press conference. But they

281
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: rose up when they needed to.

282
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 3: It's what you do with it, because there's no way

283
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: to avoid it. Right now, we've talked about this. You know,

284
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 3: in the old days, you don't turn on the television

285
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 3: or the radio.

286
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 2: How would you dare do that? Always? You don't have

287
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: to read, you don't read the newspaper. Right now, those

288
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: three things, if you didn't do those three things, you wouldn't.

289
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 3: Even going on the internet and the o's okay fine,

290
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 3: or the early teens, but now that everything comes to

291
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: you and it pushed to you, no way to avoid it,

292
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 3: and it's going to find you.

293
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 2: All these players, it's going to find them. So, hey,

294
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 2: did you hear what's such said about you? It's what

295
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: they do with it, it's what they do with it.

296
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: There's such public figures it's impossible to ignore. If you

297
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 2: have a phone, and if you have any kind of

298
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: social media participation whatsoever, you're just consuming. You're not posting,

299
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: You're just consuming because that's how you get your news.

300
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: That's how I read the freaking paper.

301
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 5: You know.

302
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 3: The equivalent of that today is reading x or you

303
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: know the other platforms as well. And that's what it is, okay.

304
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: Tamiko Ryans after the game talked about the week leading

305
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: up to it, the work that went into the win

306
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 3: over the San Francisco forty nine ers.

307
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 7: And for this week, Kim, the main thing.

308
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 8: Our guys just went out and everybody was I would

309
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 8: say locked in. Everybody had laser focus on their job

310
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 8: what we needed to do.

311
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 7: Guys made the plays we were supposed to make.

312
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 8: I thought CJ made great decisions with the football when

313
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 8: it wasn't there, checking the ball down to the backs.

314
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 7: Our backs played well. We ran the ball for over

315
00:14:59,360 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 7: one hundred y'all.

316
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 8: It starts up front always and when our offensive line

317
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 8: can do that control the line of scrimmags, things will go.

318
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 7: Well for us. But overall could be more proud.

319
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 8: Defensively, they also did an outstanding job getting great team

320
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 8: over there.

321
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 7: Those guys made two really big plays on us.

322
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 8: Kidlewin Jennis made some outstanding catches on us, and that happens.

323
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 8: But our guys were resilient. They continue to bounce back.

324
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 8: They didn't let one big play affect them. They were

325
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 8: still able to come out and continue to press forward,

326
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 8: play together and finish the game.

327
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: Along those lines of like, they didn't let one play,

328
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: you know, hurt them. And that was what those hell

329
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: of it catch by Jennings I was. I was upsets

330
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: thirty to seventeen and Max getting drilled by somebody. I

331
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: think you maybe will how do you get this off?

332
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: I think the defense has done that pretty well. They

333
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: haven't let one big play take them out of what

334
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: they do. Yeah, I think that's that's pretty I mean

335
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: that's almost one hundred percent With the defense, they don't

336
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: they do not let one play like, all right, they

337
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: got one, but you know come back like you know

338
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 2: Sting on the touchdown a JSN that he dunks. You know,

339
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: Sting probably should have had a little bit more help

340
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 2: from Jaylor Petrier on that. But I know that's a

341
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: play that was probably burning in Sting's mind. The rest

342
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: of it comes back later. It gets an interception when

343
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: the Texans absolutely needed it. The defense, I think, without question,

344
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: does that they do not let one play define them.

345
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: They do not let one play derail them. No, offensively,

346
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: it's been a little bit more that way, like you know,

347
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: we screwed up on this, and then that leads to this,

348
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: and then that leads to this. But there were not

349
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: a lot of instances yesterday where they even had the

350
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: quote unquote mess up on the first one they had

351
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: that one drive. I'm trying to think when it was

352
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: they did one drive that had a lot of promise.

353
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 6: It might have been before the half. A lot of

354
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 6: that drive had a lot.

355
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 2: Of promise, and then it was like a couple holdings

356
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: on one play and then I think there's a holding

357
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: on the next play and that back them up. So

358
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: they got themselves into that and that cost them, you know,

359
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: an opportunity for a touchdown.

360
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: Scored on every possession other than that pick late in

361
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 3: the half.

362
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 2: Right, But they did they bounced back from from that,

363
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: but they didn't create those bad situations for themselves.

364
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 3: Yeah.

365
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: That they did a much better job of on on Sunday.

366
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: And look, Nick Keyley took a lot of heat, a

367
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: lot of heat after Monday night's game, a lot. And

368
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 2: I'm sure as you you sit down with you know,

369
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 2: the offensive coaches and you're like, hey, what happening against Seattle?

370
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: I guarantee you a lot. I'm like, man, I don't know.

371
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 6: Because that wasn't That wasn't us because.

372
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,479
Speaker 2: If you look at what they did against the Titans,

373
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: you look what they against the Ravens, and look, I

374
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: understand and this goes to Seth's point two. The matchups

375
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: were better in those two games, and the matchup was

376
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: good yesterday. The Seattle Seahawks are a tough matchup for

377
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 2: US right now because the Seahawks are that good up front,

378
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: they're that strong, gonna face girth up front. They're not

379
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 2: the last team you're gonna face, and the one you

380
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: face Sunday is to be a mother trucker. Right, They're

381
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 2: going to be tough.

382
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 3: Thank you for your FCC approved.

383
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes that they they're gonna they're gonna be tough.

384
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: But I think if this offense is okay, did we

385
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 2: find something if you take out of yesterday, you look

386
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 2: at it and go, what did we do yesterday that

387
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: we can carry forward, spread the ball around, gave gave

388
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 2: seven time to throw, and you ran the ball downhill.

389
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: Suddenly you didn't try and go wide. You went downhill.

390
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 2: You ran duo with some intentionality. You ran the ball hard.

391
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 2: And by the way, by the way, the most viral

392
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: moment that should come out of this game is British

393
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: Brooks putting Kevin Gibbons on his wallet on a wham block.

394
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 2: This is a defensive tackle. It is one of the

395
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: most impressive one on one blocks I have ever seen

396
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: from a full back. It's awesome, If not the best,

397
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: it is freaking awesome.

398
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 3: It's probably gonna say, like ll cool Jay style, don't

399
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: call me a fullback.

400
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: Right, don't call me a full back.

401
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 3: I'm a running back who happens to be able to

402
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 3: do a lot of different things and.

403
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 2: Whatever he is, British Brooks is giving this team a lot.

404
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 2: I saw him in the locker room. I was like, man,

405
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: you snatched that man's soul in British just he's like

406
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: he kind of chuckled it.

407
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: There gonna show that in the meeting room today, the

408
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,719
Speaker 3: whole room will go. That might be the only highlight,

409
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 3: like this is what we need right here. Bang, Okay,

410
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 3: go to work on Denver. That's it, right, that's only

411
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: has to show that moment. And he already got his

412
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 3: game ball. He was awesome. Yesterday, Sean said it might

413
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 3: have been the best game he ever played as a pro.

414
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 3: I mean, we get debate that all day long, but

415
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 3: under the circumstances, coming off the short week, the red

416
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 3: eye flight, the no Nico, no Kirk, let's get the

417
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 3: young guys involved and you spread the ball around like

418
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 3: that beautifully.

419
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: I thought a huge.

420
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 3: Catch was first of all, opening drive of the game

421
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: for the Texans nine and a half minute, sixteen plays.

422
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: That's the longest drive of the year and it was

423
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 3: only for a field goal, but it set the tone

424
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 3: that we can move the ball. Yeah, we gotta finish

425
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 3: the drive, but we can move the ball. We can

426
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 3: consume clock, we can convert third downs.

427
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: I'm on it today, folks.

428
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 5: C J.

429
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 3: Stroud and a huge play was a third down and

430
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 3: short and he hits Noel on the left side and

431
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 3: the throw was, I don't know, high, it was a

432
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 3: little high but catchable.

433
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: Obviously Noel caught it.

434
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 3: But if Noel doesn't catch that ball, but Noel caught

435
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 3: that ball and the drive continued and it just that

436
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 3: to me was a really big play, my uscopic moment,

437
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 3: but a big play in this game because it continued

438
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 3: that drive, which was a tone center for the day,

439
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 3: and the defense was dealing and it was a beautiful

440
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 3: thing to watch against a team that's good. I don't

441
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: want to hear about injuries. They had George Kittle, they

442
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 3: had Christian McCaffrey was all world. And by the way,

443
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 3: how about this, You face Derrick Henry this year. You

444
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 3: shut him down. You face Christian mcackjeffrey, You shut him down.

445
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 3: Now some other guys you haven't been able to shut

446
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 3: down as well, but the Bucketeers, Yeah, ye, Bucky Irving,

447
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: but these guys and McCaffrey comes in all world, very

448
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 3: different kind of back than Derrick Henry. But both guys

449
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: are all world. You're able to stop them. What did

450
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 3: Henry do yesterday, by the way, against the Chicago Bears,

451
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 3: And know Lamar Jackson he had a ballgame. He had

452
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 3: a ballgame. The Bears couldn't do it. You could do it.

453
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 3: I have no issues with the defense. The offense had

454
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 3: a great performance yesterday. Now you're at home. Okay, let's

455
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 3: let's dig in here, protect the home turf, Denver Sunday

456
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: at noon, Let's hear from CJ. Stroud here talking about

457
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 3: the work that went into the week and what they

458
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: can do to build upon this victory against San Francisco.

459
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

460
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 9: I think practicing, you know, that's key. You know, got

461
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 9: a practice great, and I think we've been doing that

462
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 9: for the last couple of weeks, and then you know,

463
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 9: taking it from the practice and put it on the

464
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 9: field like kind of like I was saying, just execution.

465
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 9: But yeah, I think that's what it starts, with your

466
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 9: preparation film, being on the same page with the coordinators

467
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 9: and with you know, your position coaches having conversation about

468
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 9: you know, if this happens, I'm gonna do this, that

469
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 9: happens with with your teammates. So that'll be key for

470
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 9: you know, this next game against a good Denver defense.

471
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 3: Give me a little sliver here. How good is Denver good? Okay,

472
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 3: that's all I I mean. Offensively, if this were a

473
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 3: test in school, you'd have to show your work a

474
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 3: little bit.

475
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 2: And I'm going to, okay, and you do. I's going

476
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: to because I mike in front of my face, and

477
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: you know, I know they've got They've got two very

478
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: diverse backs both.

479
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 3: The's a lot four touchdown passes yesterday.

480
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: Now you and I could throw four touchdown passes against

481
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: the defense that was forming known as the Cowboys.

482
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 6: But that said, you're that fourth quarter they had.

483
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: Against the Giants has really kind of seemingly spurred them on.

484
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: The running backs are very good. The offensive line has

485
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: gotten better. They've got a number of weapons in the

486
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 2: past game, add in Evan Ingram, which thank god he's

487
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 2: in Denver not Jackson. So offensively, very diverse with what

488
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: they can do, very multiple. Defensively, they get after you,

489
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: they got a couple of they got a big time

490
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 2: shut down corner Riley Moss is good. On the other side,

491
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: they hit their physical They provide a little different structure

492
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: up front and Vance has got him going. Vance Josel defense.

493
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 2: I mean, he's got them going, and I mean there,

494
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 2: they've got confidence now. They think they can go beat

495
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: anybody anywhere, anytime. And so you're gonna have to do

496
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 2: the same exact thing. You're gonna have to hit them

497
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: in the mouth. But as we talked about Christian McCaffrey,

498
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: eleven touches yesterday for sixty eight yards, eleven for sixty

499
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 2: eight Sunday night against the Atlanta Falcons, he went over

500
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 2: to ten. Yeah, so the one thing I didn't and

501
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: I know that it was a talking point kind of

502
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: all year about live backers disease, and you know EJ.

503
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 2: Speeds added to the mix, and Henry and Christian et cetera.

504
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 2: You know, they don't cover well against the past. They

505
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: don't cover well against the past. Yesterday they covered really

506
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 2: well well against the pass. They covered really well man

507
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: a man against Christian McCaffrey. Henry had that great breakup

508
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 2: after the punt after the kickoff return right near the

509
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 2: end of the half. Yeah, Henry Aziz played his butt

510
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 2: off in coverage EJ. Speed in a couple of moments

511
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 2: where he was in coverage and and did some really

512
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 2: good things. The coverage from the linebackers can can change

513
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 2: things for this team and this defense going forward. The

514
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: fact that they're able to play that and they're gonna

515
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: eat you this week. R. J. Harvey and JK. Dobbins

516
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 2: they're bad dudes, man, They're really really, really good. Played

517
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: well off of one another. But they they'll include them

518
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 2: in the passing game too. But this this is gonna

519
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 2: be We said it for the last how many ever weeks.

520
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 2: We had to go to Baltimore and win. We did.

521
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: It was a statement game against Seattle. We didn't make

522
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: the greatest statement yesterday, even though it's a five and

523
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 2: two nine Ers team. It was like, you got to

524
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 2: show up and kick their ass, and you did. Now

525
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 2: you set up this game, this massive one against against Denver.

526
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 2: People want to crown Denver as, Oh they're gonna you know,

527
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: they're gonna be the AFC West winners. They're gonna be

528
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: that team you know this year. Okay, well, now you

529
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 2: got to tangle with us.

530
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 3: Were down nineteen nothing to the Giants at one point.

531
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 3: I know the Giants have talent, but obviously I have

532
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: trouble put.

533
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,399

Speaker 3: and THENDY always looking forward to a conversation with you,

593
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 3: my friend. How did you see yesterday that performance against

594
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers?

595
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 11: Good morning, good morning, good morning, much needed performance. And look,

596
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 11: I don't care who the forty nine ers had out

597
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 11: the Texas. They were missing their number one wide receiver,

598
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 11: so let's just look at the score and the performance.

599
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 11: But that's the type of win That's the type of

600
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 11: performance I felt like the team needed after the Seattle debacle.

601
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 11: And what I really noticed big picture, you got it

602
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 11: from all three phases. You know, special teams obviously with

603
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 11: COMMI Fairbarn defense, you know, picking up the slack and

604
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 11: late in the game, getting that big interception to end

605
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 11: you know, to end the game. Then obviously offense without

606
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,239
Speaker 11: me Collins, you had a bunch of different receivers stepping up.

607
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 5: That was a true team win right there.

608
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: Indeed, as someone who played in the trenches, what is

609
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 2: it like in Kyle Shanahan had a great comment after

610
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 2: the game. He said, in short, they kicked our ass

611
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: and he didn't go further into the well, you know

612
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 2: physically this, physically that all that, But it felt like

613
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: yesterday was a physical ass kicking. As someone that did

614
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: play in the trenches, what is that like when the

615
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: game is over and you're like, we dominated them physically.

616
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 11: No, it's such a great feeling, especially when the other

617
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 11: team has, you know, a Hall of Fame type player

618
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 11: and Christian McCaffrey. My thought going into the game, hey,

619
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 11: you're not going to stop Christian McCaffrey. You just want

620
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 11: to limit him and make sure there's anybody else that

621
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 11: has a big game to go along with it. They said, yeah,

622
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 11: hold my gatorade, you know, instead of hold my beer.

623
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 11: They said, oh, my gatorade is, and let me show

624
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 11: you what we could do against a guy like Christian McCaffrey.

625
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 11: And when you're stopping a player like that of that caliber,

626
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 11: it's not just him, it's because you're changing the line

627
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 11: of scrimmage, just because as soon as he gets the ball,

628
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 11: you know, when it's a handoff, you have guys in

629
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 11: his face because you're winning in the trenches, you're shedding

630
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 11: those blocks, and you're just dominating the guys in front

631
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 11: of you. You saw throughout the entire game, and this defense.

632
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 11: Say what you want about the Houston Texans defense. Every

633
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 11: single defense out there is gonna bend at some point,

634
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 11: but I mean they just continue to make big plays

635
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 11: after big plays and just dominate from start to finish.

636
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 3: Number one defense in the Yeah, but that was also

637
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: one of those deals, you know, where certain things went wrong,

638
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 3: and if the offense is picking up the slack a

639
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 3: little bit, maybe the defensive numbers look prettier, but who knows.

640
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 3: And it's a team game, and all of that and

641
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 3: speaking of team game and d the offense really put

642
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 3: on a show. I mean c J. Stroud looked phenomenal,

643
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 3: had time to throw. How did you see the attack,

644
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 3: especially considering no Nico Collins, no Christian Kirk.

645
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 11: What I loved about it, there's somebody didn't watch the

646
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 11: game and they just checked the box score, the stat line.

647
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 11: There wasn't any eye popping stat except for the fact that,

648
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 11: oh man, so many guys had a reception, so many

649
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 11: guys were able to contribute. You know, I don't think

650
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 11: there was one hundred yard receiver. I don't think there was.

651
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 5: A hund well, I know there wasn't one hundred yard rusher.

652
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 11: But with Woody Marx, you know, averaging four yards of

653
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 11: pop and then getting another fifty yards receiving nice you know,

654
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 11: compliment to Woody marks Nick Chubb doing what he does,

655
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 11: just some nice tough run. Then obviously the receivers can't

656
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 11: say enough about those guys. It just it felt good

657
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 11: because especially with the wide receivers, when we were excited,

658
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 11: when I was excited during the preseason about all these

659
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 11: different receivers, you knew they weren't going to really get

660
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 11: a chance in the regular season. But because of the

661
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 11: way things worked out this you know this week with

662
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 11: Nico being out, Christian Kirk being out, you saw what

663
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 11: you expected from those guys and they all stepped up.

664
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 11: And that's impressive. That's impressive because now the defense you're

665
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 11: not just focused on one or two wide receivers. You know,

666
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 11: all these guys to make plays and that's just going

667
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 11: to open up your superstars even more when they're back

668
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 11: on the field and help me Anddy.

669
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 2: I want to build on on that as a player

670
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: when you have when you're there, you're a defensive player

671
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 2: and you know the offense doesn't have Nico and you

672
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 2: know it doesn't have Christian Kirk and you're like, man,

673
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: we got these rookies, got Braxton Barrios. Do you get

674
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: charged up more as a teammate when you see the

675
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 2: guys that aren't normally the guys stepping up to make

676
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 2: plays like hey man, Jared Wayne, great catch first down?

677
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 2: Like does that fire you up more as a teammate

678
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 2: when it's guys you don't maybe get it from regularly

679
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,719
Speaker 2: or don't expect to get it from regularly.

680
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 11: And that goes When Wayne makes that play, it resonates

681
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 11: with the defense as well, because those are the guys

682
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 11: you see weekend and week out busting their tail on

683
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 11: scout team. Barely made the team, but you know that

684
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 11: given the chance, they can make a play. So when

685
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 11: guys like that make plays, you're just you're extra happy

686
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 11: for the man. That adrenaline continues to pump even a

687
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 11: little bit more when Nico Collins makes the players. But yeah,

688
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 11: that's what he does. You know, that's what Nico does.

689
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 11: But then when you see other guys who bust their

690
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 11: tail actually get an opportunity and they're able to make

691
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 11: a playoff Sunday, you're one hundred percent greade. It just

692
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 11: gets everybody fired up. And you've seen them before. You

693
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 11: and I have even talked about it during some of

694
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 11: the preseason games. When you see how the team reacts

695
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 11: to a you know, a guy that's not a household name,

696
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 11: when he has success, it just fires everybody up.

697
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 3: What about confidence building a victory like this against a

698
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 3: good team. This team was five and two, tied for

699
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 3: first in the NFC West. We know how tough that

700
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 3: is coming into the game and doing it with whoever

701
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 3: is available or not available. They're really good at operating

702
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 3: with guys unavailable and mac Jones was playing pretty well

703
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 3: coming in, so you beat them soundly, decisively, however you

704
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 3: want to word it. How does that affect this team? Because, yeah,

705
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 3: the win over the Ravens was very nice. The Ravens

706
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 3: had a lot of guys out. They might be learning

707
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 3: how to play without several key players because they won

708
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 3: against the Bears yesterday with Huntley getting the start, and

709
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 3: obviously the win over the Titans was the Titans. But

710
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 3: now you got a really good one here. What does

711
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 3: that do for the team moving forward, especially Sunday against Denver.

712
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 11: Indeed, no any any win, especially when the season hasn't

713
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 11: started the way you expect it. It just it gives

714
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 11: you that confidence. And look after the loss, if you

715
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 11: ask a player, they're all going to say, no, we're

716
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 11: still confident, we still believe. But you know, you're like, man,

717
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 11: we lost to this team. We played, we didn't play well.

718
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 11: But when you come in and you beat a team

719
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 11: that has a winning record, that has been playing well,

720
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 11: you hold them to their lowest point total of the season. Yeah,

721
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 11: you feel good about that, especially when you have this

722
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 11: beast known as the Denver Broncos coming to town. So

723
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 11: as a fan after the game, I'm all excited, like, man, yes, yes,

724
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 11: the Texas are back.

725
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 5: Then I watched Denver against.

726
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 11: Dallas and I'm like, oh uh oh, this is who's

727
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 11: coming to town. So that the players, though they're going

728
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 11: to be excited, they're going to be pumped knowing that

729
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 11: they just beat a good team and they're going to

730
00:34:58,719 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 11: face another good team next sun.

731
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, another opportunity to make a statement. And I don't know,

732
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 2: things stick with me for whatever reason, but I remember

733
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 2: when we did the preseason game, the first one of

734
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 2: the year, and we're sitting down in production me trying

735
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 2: to figure out, you know, how we were going to

736
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 2: do the open and you know, I was going to

737
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: talk about offense, Indy was going to talk about defense,

738
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 2: and D point o, I want to talk about e J.

739
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 2: Speed And I thought okay, because we were gonna see EJ. Speed,

740
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, oh this is cool. And then

741
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 2: Indy presented a case for e J. Speed got me

742
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: fired up. I was like, all right, EJ. Speed. We

743
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 2: had seen him a training camp. But indeed EJ. Speed

744
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 2: and these linebackers really have made a statement lately. And

745
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 2: I think the statement that they made yesterday was you

746
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 2: can criticize us for a lot of things, and you

747
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 2: have been criticized for covering past coverage, et cetera. Their

748
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 2: past coverage yesterday was really, really, really good. McCaffrey had

749
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 2: forty three yards receiving, but he did it with three

750
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 2: receptions on six targets. They held them to twenty five

751
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 2: yards rushing under his average at three point one, and

752
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 2: a lot of that had to do with the linebackers.

753
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to shade the defensive line, which I

754
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 2: know you love, but EJ. Speed and these linebackers are

755
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 2: really doing something in coverage more so than what they've done.

756
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts?

757
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 11: No, No, no shade at all. And you know, starting

758
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 11: with EJ. Speed, you know the reason I brought him

759
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 11: up during that first preseason game and during our production meeting.

760
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 11: You know, while I was adamant about talking to EJ. Speed,

761
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 11: for whatever reason, I just felt like that signing was

762
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 11: so under the radar. People just didn't realize what type

763
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 11: of production, what type of playmaker he was with the

764
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 11: Indianapolis Coast and maybe the NFL, because when he was available,

765
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 11: I just assumed he was going to sign a multi year,

766
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 11: multi tens of millions of dollars because of what I

767
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 11: saw from him during when he was with the colt

768
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 11: So when he came to the Texans on a one

769
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 11: year proved type deal, I was pumped. I was excited,

770
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 11: and I was just wondering why there wasn't that much excitement.

771
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 11: But we're seeing now why I was so excited. And

772
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 11: here's the cool thing about it. You know, all these linebackers,

773
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 11: they love each other, They're gonna say great things about

774
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 11: one another. When he was brought into the mix, it

775
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 11: was a call to everybody to step up their game

776
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 11: because he's coming to compete for playing time. And you

777
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 11: see how much better they're all playing now, Like Henry Toatoa,

778
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 11: he had one play as a tackler where I was like, man,

779
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 11: that was a nice play. And then in coverage, I

780
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 11: thought Henry Totoa had a great play. And I just

781
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 11: see that his level has picked up. And I'm sure

782
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 11: it's because he knows there's a guy like EJ. Speed

783
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 11: breathing down his neck for reps, even though you do

784
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 11: see packages where they're in there together.

785
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 5: So I just feel like EJ.

786
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 11: Speed in that meeting room, in that linebacker room has

787
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 11: just elevated the play and you're starting to see it

788
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 11: not just with tackling, not just with physicality, but also

789
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 11: with the coverage, which was always a sore spot for

790
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 11: the Houston Texan linebackers.

791
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 3: And did we talk a lot about the noise last week?

792
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 3: There was a ton of it, and there was a

793
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 3: lot of different reporting going on about guys in the

794
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 3: locker room and what's really going on and how do

795
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 3: people really feel? And you tell me being in a

796
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 3: locker room and what is really important here as far

797
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 3: as marching through a season and trying to keep everybody

798
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 3: on the same page, or let me add this to it,

799
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 3: is it almost impossible to keep everybody on the exact

800
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 3: same page. And you're gonna have this and that, but

801
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 3: you just have to focus on game day or at

802
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 3: least during the week enough where you can just put

803
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,959
Speaker 3: it together. I don't know. You tell me it's gotta

804
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 3: be tough. You have a fifty three man roster plus

805
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 3: plus and all these people in the building. How do

806
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 3: you keep it all together, keep the focus so you

807
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 3: can win with great leadership?

808
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 11: And you brought up a great point. The latter part

809
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 11: of the question is it even feasible to keep everybody

810
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 11: on the same page.

811
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 5: Absolutely not.

812
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 11: You have fifty three guys, you have twenty two starters.

813
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 11: That means you have another group of guys that feel

814
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 11: like they should be starters, but they're not. So you

815
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 11: got to keep them excited. You got to keep them

816
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 11: in their lanes. So you don't have everyone on the

817
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 11: same page. But when you have a great leader, you

818
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 11: get them to accept their role. You get them to

819
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 11: understand that, Hey, whether or not you like your playing

820
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 11: time on Sunday when you get in the game, prove

821
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 11: me wrong.

822
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 5: You know.

823
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 11: I can see Demiko if there's a player that's upset

824
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 11: with their playing time, and trust me, there is. I

825
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 11: can see Demico having that private session with him, like, hey.

826
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 5: Prove me wrong, prove me wrong.

827
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 11: Whether it's on special teams, whether it's on the certain

828
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 11: packages that you're in. So yeah, there's always going to

829
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 11: be ups and downs, there's always going to be grumblings.

830
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 11: I remember when the New England Patriots won every single

831
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 11: game in the regular season. I had a buddy of

832
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 11: mine who went to Rife that was on that team,

833
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 11: and when we would talk during the week, he would

834
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 11: tell me about some of the drama going on, and

835
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 11: I was like, hold on, y'all are at the time,

836
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 11: y'all are living and oh and you're always just going

837
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 11: to have that type of drama. So the cool thing

838
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 11: is to have that leadership that keeps it all in check.

839
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: Indeed, I think it's hard for it's hard for anybody

840
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,919
Speaker 2: to watch Will Anderson junior and go. He's even better

841
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 2: than he was, Like he's improving each and every time

842
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 2: he goes out on the field. And the one player

843
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 2: that probably stands out yesterday more than anything else was

844
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 2: in the third and seventeen that got completed down to

845
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 2: Juwan Jennings down inside the two yard line. Will Anderson

846
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 2: is essentially bull rushing Trent Williams right into Mac Jones,

847
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 2: which is why the ball kind of floated a little bit.

848
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 2: It's hard to put in words really how great these

849
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 2: two defensive ends have been, but it feels like they

850
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 2: continue to get better and give teams no matter what,

851
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 2: no matter whether they're getting chips, whether they're getting doubles,

852
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 2: they're still impacting the game every time they go out

853
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 2: at such a high level. I mean, this duo has

854
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 2: been as good as I can remember, and it's getting better. Andy,

855
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 2: what are your thoughts about the way Will and Danil

856
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 2: are really setting the tone for them up front?

857
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 11: On defense, It's the best edge duo that we've seen

858
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 11: in Houston Texas history. And I know people are gonna argue, no,

859
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 11: it's one of those Indy Kalou and Anthony Weaver, but

860
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 11: you know what, all.

861
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 5: Jokes aside, I didn't even start.

862
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 11: But when I look at Will Anderson and Daniel Hunter,

863
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 11: that's the best duo that I've seen with the Houston Texans.

864
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 11: And I could probably even argue the best duo on

865
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 11: the AFC South since Dwight Freeney and Mapis and I

866
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 11: don't even have to really go back and check. Like

867
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 11: the way they play, their intensity is ridiculous, and the

868
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 11: stats don't justify it because when you look at you

869
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 11: know JJ Watt what he does, and you know first

870
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 11: Battle of Hall of Fame career, one of the best

871
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 11: to ever do it. You could also see it with

872
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 11: the stats, but it's unfortunate and fortunate at the same time.

873
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 11: With Will Anderson Daniel Hunter, there are so many plays

874
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 11: where they affect the throw, they affect a quarterback, that

875
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 11: they affect the tone of the game because there's a

876
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 11: big TfL hit or Will Anderson's running somebody down from

877
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,720
Speaker 11: behind that you don't really feel on the stat sheet,

878
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 11: but when you're watching the game, it just resonates with

879
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 11: you and you see a time and time again with

880
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 11: those two guys. Most people into football, unfortunately just for offense.

881
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 11: But if you just focus on those two guys every game,

882
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 11: you will be entertained. Like it's it's a beautiful, beautiful

883
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 11: piece of art to watch when you watch those two play.

884
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 3: Great stuff and Dice, thanks so much for joining us.

885
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 3: We'll see you at the Texans team shop tomorrow night.

886
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,959
Speaker 3: It's six for a live show with Brian Cushing. Can't wait,

887
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 3: all right.

888
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 5: Had my free shirt ready and y'all keep up.

889
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 2: All right?

890
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 3: Thank you, Andy Kalu joining us on Texans Monday coming up.

891
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 3: Let's talk about some of the nuances of this victory,

892
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 3: but really what needs to be done to be Denver

893
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 3: as well, because you want to keep this thing going.

894
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 3: Gotta go back to back to back. You need to

895
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 3: go on a run here, Johnny. You need to win six, seven,

896
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 3: seven of eight right now. Yeah, you have it to do. You,

897
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 3: you have it in you. You have the tools. Well,

898
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 3: let's talk about that. Do you have the tools to

899
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 3: do it? We'll phrase it as a question. Whatever. We'll

900
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 3: be back as Texans Monday.

901
00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:01,479
Speaker 1: More Texans Radio coming up in a moment now More

902
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: Texas Monday.

903
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 3: CJ pulls the trigger short game right side.

904
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 10: But what he marks on the run twenty five thirty

905
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 10: thirty five, forty right sideline fifty forty five, rights to

906
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 10: tackle forty and finally rope down inside the thirty three

907
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 10: yard line, big catch and.

908
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 3: Run into forty nine or territory for Woody marks. He's good, Johnny.

909
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 2: So earlier I was talking right before I start talking

910
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 2: about the noise thing that came up in the press

911
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 2: conference and all that one of the biggest things that

912
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 2: and I lost my train of thought as I was

913
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 2: talking earlier. I was like, what was I thinking about?

914
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 2: This is the play? I was thinking about? The play

915
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 2: is a I want to say, if I remember correctly,

916
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 2: he was a two man route and this one, this

917
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 2: this one the wonder Woody Mark, so not including Woody,

918
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 2: not including Woody. It was a two man route trying

919
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 2: to go downfield. And what was what was the one

920
00:43:54,440 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 2: of the biggest like noisiest items that came up Jay's

921
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 2: desire to throw the ball down the field and his

922
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 2: comment and the press conference people took and ran with

923
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 2: it about you know, death by a thousand paper cuts.

924
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,839
Speaker 2: I'm still getting used to it, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah,

925
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 2: we know CJ wants to throw it deep. I mean yeah,

926
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 2: I mean that's the Yeah, it feels good and you

927
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 2: throw it deep. Longest pass play he's had this year,

928
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,959
Speaker 2: he threw it on a check right, Yeah, and he did.

929
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 2: It was almost a Dak Prescott thing. You know what

930
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 2: Dak does that little thing with his hips. It was

931
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 2: like it was like CJ was gearing up like that

932
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 2: to throw it deep. Yeah, he was launching that sucker.

933
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 2: You could tell he was like, I'm crow hopping, I'm

934
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 2: throwing it deep. I'm gonna hey what he's open. It's

935
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 2: like the longest pass play's at all year was a checkdown.

936
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 3: Yeah. I saw it was going short. Then all of

937
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 3: a sudden, I'm thinking there's nobody around him. Nobody there,

938
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 3: nobody not the soul oh run. Yeah he did and

939
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 3: it was good and he made the most of it.

940
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 3: So that was very cool. You know, my expert quarterback

941
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 3: analysis found this he was stepping up in the pocket

942
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 3: a lot beautifully. Because the pressure wasn't coming from up

943
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 3: the middle, they were able to protect the middle. They so, yeah,

944
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 3: stepping up in a clean pocket. Uh, you know the

945
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 3: rush is getting around the edges, not getting around you

946
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 3: know what I mean? When it does happen and you're

947
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 3: running out of time, your two seconds two point five

948
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 3: is running out, he steps up very nicely. Like I watched,

949
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 3: just watching the game, you have utter confidence in his

950
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 3: ability to throw the football accurately, finding the right guys.

951
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 3: And with no Nego and no Kirk, it was a

952
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 3: revelation to see all those guys get the ball spread

953
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 3: around the way they did. Nobody with more than five catches.

954
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 3: But three receivers had five, two had four. That's what

955
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 3: you were looking at in a thirty completion game.

956
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 2: How about our guy? I fought I fought it hard.

957
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 2: What Brasen Barrios was. I was gonna talk to Woody

958
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 2: and then Woody was not in locker room.

959
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 3: You did not go there. I thought about it to

960
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 3: ask about the stars.

961
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 6: I was about to say, man, you guys have back

962
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 6: to back nights.

963
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 2: Of just this is awesome.

964
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 3: And then I was like no, but wait, do they

965
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 3: go tonight or I think it's tonight. I thought it

966
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 3: was tonight. Maybe it's not tonight, but either way, So

967
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 3: it's for those who don't know. His girlfriend is on

968
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 3: Dancing with the Stars. She's a social media influencer.

969
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 6: I'm telling you. Braxton was phenomenal.

970
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 2: He was.

971
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 6: He was well, he was.

972
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 2: You know when you get sick and you're like, man,

973
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 2: I need something, it's the one thing you don't think, Hey, man,

974
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 2: I got this remedy from a buddy of mine who's

975
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 2: another friend of mine. He's like, just take orange juice

976
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 2: and put in you know, like a thing of liquid

977
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: ben a drill and then put in this and put

978
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 2: in that and you'll feel better. You're like, a right,

979
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 2: I'll try it all right, here we go give it

980
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 2: to me and also on Boom it works. That was

981
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 2: Braxton yesterday. He had really I'll be honest. Since the

982
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 2: time of the season. I'm like, look, if something weren't

983
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 2: happen to Christian Kirk, you would go to Jalen Knowle.

984
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 5: Right.

985
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 2: But one day I remember in practice in training camp.

986
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 2: I remembered watching when they were just they were working

987
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 2: some sets in training camp, and I realized, but they've

988
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 2: got Barrios and Nol together on the field at the

989
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 2: same time. They've got Christian and Barrios together. And I

990
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 2: thought that'd be kind of interesting if they ended up

991
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 2: playing a couple slots the same at the same time.

992
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 6: And they they didn't do that. I have to go

993
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 6: back and look.

994
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if they did that much, but you

995
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 2: realize at that point, like, hey, that position is gonna

996
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 2: get a lot a lot of looks and a lot

997
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 2: of opportunity. And Braxton made some really big key catches,

998
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,399
Speaker 2: especially on the first drive. There was one I thought

999
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 2: it was Nol going across, and then he popped up

1000
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 2: and he signaled first down, and I was like, that's Burrios.

1001
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 2: Oh wow, he got open. You got separation. And that's

1002
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 2: all you've got to do is these receivers. You just

1003
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 2: have to get just get separation from me to you.

1004
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't have much between us, but just

1005
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 2: that much separation. Seven will put the ball on you.

1006
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 2: He will put the ball on you and let you

1007
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 2: do something after they catch you, will give you an opportunity.

1008
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 2: And they made the most of it. They caught everything

1009
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 2: thrown their way. You talked about the nole catch on

1010
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 2: the first drive. Jayala's not a tall guy, but he

1011
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 2: had to go up and grab that one. He did.

1012
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 2: He got the feed in bounds. Guys held out of

1013
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 2: the ball X on that crosser, then he got hit

1014
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 2: by Upton Stout. Kind of he has to go up

1015
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 2: and get it and as he's reeling it in, he's

1016
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 2: getting hit by Stout. X doesn't make that catch in

1017
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 2: twenty three or twenty four.

1018
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 3: He hangs on. He hangs on and it's a big

1019
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 3: first down. He had the thirty yard touchdown catch. Noel

1020
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 3: had that forty four yard catch. That's that's one of

1021
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 3: my favorite players. I love that play they run. They

1022
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 3: ran it with Kirk in Baltimore. They ran it with

1023
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 3: Noah Brown against the Bengals. It's funny because that's a

1024
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 3: play that's been carried over. It just it kind of

1025
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 3: goes to show all this talk about new offense this

1026
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 3: and new offense down there, there are concepts that carry

1027
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 3: over one hundred yard fields. There are only so many

1028
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 3: things exactly so, only so many notes in the scale.

1029
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,720
Speaker 3: But you could do it in different ways, different times,

1030
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 3: different people, right as they do exactly. All Right, let's

1031
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 3: get andre in here next. That was a quickie segment,

1032
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 3: but we'll go long with andre Ware coming up, and

1033
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 3: we'll also ask him about if he regrets not coaching

1034
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 3: because the buyouts are tremendous. Brian Kelly. Anyway, we'll get

1035
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 3: into some of that stuff at the end of it.

1036
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 3: It's all coming up here on Texans Monday, presented by

1037
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 3: Houston Methodist.

1038
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:23,720
Speaker 1: Now more Texans Monday, presented by Houston Methodist Good Mawaly.

1039
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 3: In the backfield, CJ in the gun bunch formation left,

1040
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 3: I'm third and seven at the San Francisco thirty.

1041
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 2: Here's pressure CJ over the.

1042
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 3: Middle, caught fifteen ten.

1043
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 10: Five into the insult rock and roll touchdown Houston. Who

1044
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 10: is it a play to Exavier Hutchetson who X marks

1045
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 10: the spot?

1046
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 2: My god, my man, it was.

1047
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 6: It was Drey's pre game that was who were player

1048
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 6: of the game.

1049
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 3: Well, when we say this, and Dre correct me if

1050
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 3: I'm wrong here, when we say this, we're kind of

1051
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 3: picking a guy who you know you can pick CJ. Stroud, Okay,

1052
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 3: but we're kind of being a guy who is going

1053
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 3: to rise above and you know it might be a

1054
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 3: semi star if you will.

1055
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 2: I mean X is not a you know, bit player here.

1056
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not an ECO, he's not a Pro Bowl necessarily,

1057
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 3: So that's that's what we're looking.

1058
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 2: Who's gonna give the spark right Ray Right.

1059
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 4: It's more of an underdog type player, guy that you're

1060
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 4: rooting for to have a good game, but could likely

1061
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 4: affect it. And that that's kind of how I define

1062
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 4: it and.

1063
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 5: How I look at it.

1064
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I look at the factor. Well, I don't mean

1065
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 2: it like y Hutchins. I mean like an X factor

1066
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 2: of the game. It's not like the top player, but

1067
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 2: it's somebody that may be off the beaten path could

1068
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 2: end up making a big play, and X made a

1069
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 2: number of big plays and Dre will start right there.

1070
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:47,320
Speaker 2: Hutchinson five, Noel five, Barios five, Marks four, Higgins four,

1071
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 2: and then Dalton had two, Jared Wayne had two, even

1072
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 2: that Chubb had two. There were eight. I think it's

1073
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 2: eight guys that had two or more receptions. How does

1074
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 2: it change this offense when they have all those guys

1075
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 2: getting involved?

1076
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think yesterday would happen. And first of all,

1077
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 4: it affects the defense tremendously because you don't know how

1078
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,439
Speaker 4: and where you're going to get hit and about how

1079
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 4: many because he's spreading the ball around left and right,

1080
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 4: and then when you think you have everybody covered up

1081
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 4: down Phield, No, He'll just check it down to what

1082
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 4: he marks and let him run for fifty plus yards.

1083
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 4: So that was fun to watch what it did yesterday

1084
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 4: when even taking Nico away in a very indirect way,

1085
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 4: it forced CJ to trust the offense. It forced CJ

1086
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 4: to trust other receivers other than Nico Collins, so it

1087
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,760
Speaker 4: forced him to go through his progressions trust the offensive line,

1088
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 4: and they played as well again, as good a game

1089
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 4: as I've seen in a very very long time. He

1090
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 4: had protection, the pocket was excellent, the running game was

1091
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 4: there when it needed to be. All of it mixed

1092
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 4: together was made for a really good game for the

1093
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 4: team in itself.

1094
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 3: Overall, Drake, we're just talking about stepping up in the pocket,

1095
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,399
Speaker 3: and is that sometimes easier said than done. You've really

1096
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,399
Speaker 3: got to train yourself to do that in a way,

1097
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 3: because there are guys in front of you and you

1098
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 3: hope you're not getting pressure up the middle. But you

1099
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 3: tell me how that is. You have to work into that,

1100
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 3: don't you.

1101
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, you do, and you see a lot of guys

1102
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 4: go through a lot of different drills in the off

1103
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 4: season and things of that sort just to try to

1104
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 4: train their bodies and their minds just to do it automatically.

1105
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,760
Speaker 4: It is a tough thing to do because the natural

1106
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 4: reaction is to always escape and escape outside. And when

1107
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 4: you don't have that, you know, what do you do?

1108
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 4: And are you just gonna go there and get tackled. No,

1109
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 4: You've got to train where the safe place is within

1110
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 4: the pocket and work from there, also keeping your eyes

1111
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 4: downfiel in case something comes open in front of you.

1112
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 4: So it's not an easy thing to do. It's not

1113
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 4: an easy thing to learn. It can be taught, but

1114
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 4: it's a natural feel for working in a small area.

1115
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna read this tweet to both of you,

1116
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 2: and I just want you to tell me just just

1117
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 2: if this were to occur for the next how many

1118
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 2: games you got left?

1119
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 5: Ten?

1120
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 12: Ten?

1121
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 2: If this occurs for the next ten games, where is

1122
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 2: this team? Here's the tweets from around the NFL. Texans

1123
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:23,240
Speaker 2: offense allowed season low twenty one point four percent pressure

1124
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 2: rate in win over the forty nine ers per next

1125
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 2: Gen Stats. If the Texans O line and offense is

1126
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 2: able to keep up that low pressure rate.

1127
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 6: What's the ceiling for this offense?

1128
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 4: Drag Oh, I think they can do, you know, anything

1129
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 4: they want to do if you get that type of

1130
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 4: production that you got yesterday every single week and the

1131
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,399
Speaker 4: defense stays healthy. Because that's the part that we never

1132
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 4: attached to it is can you stay healthy through the

1133
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,720
Speaker 4: through the whole thing. It's it's really survival of the fittest,

1134
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 4: so to speak. But if you take that factor away

1135
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 4: and you're just counting offense and defense, the sky's the

1136
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 4: limit because the defense is going to keep you on

1137
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 4: a lot of games you score the way the offense

1138
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 4: did and have the type of production and time of possession.

1139
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 4: I think it was over forty one minutes. That's the

1140
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 4: type of stuff that wins your football games and wins

1141
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 4: consistently no matter where you are home and away.

1142
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a weird feeling right now because you've only

1143
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 3: played seven games with the early buy. You know, here

1144
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 3: we are, it's November this weekend, and it feels like

1145
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 3: you're barely getting started.

1146
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 2: Almost like come on, let's go, let's go, let's get

1147
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 2: on a roll.

1148
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 3: And Dre, You're right, you got to stay healthy you

1149
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 3: have a long path in front of you, which is

1150
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 3: good news because you have a chance to do something

1151
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 3: to remedy the tough start you had at zero to

1152
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 3: three and obviously losing to Seattle on Monday night. Drey

1153
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 3: tell me though, the confidence building aspect of this being

1154
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 3: able to build off of it knowing you could beat

1155
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 3: a good team the way you did both sides of

1156
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 3: the football thoughts as you face down for Sunday.

1157
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it does wonders for your confidence. You know,

1158
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 4: it's a relief every time you win one you put

1159
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 4: you go through the week, you're putting game plans together,

1160
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 4: You're trying to execute who fits in where there's a

1161
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 4: tremendous amount of work that goes in, which is why

1162
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 4: you get the reaction from players and coaches that you

1163
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 4: get from a regular season win. For the fans and says,

1164
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 4: oh yeah they won, and you move on and you

1165
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 4: go back to your job. Well, this is their jobs.

1166
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 4: These are their jobs, so to speak, and that that

1167
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 4: is it's it's a tremendous feeling. But when you know

1168
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 4: you're you're putting that stuff together it the end of

1169
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 4: the day, that's what you do it for. That's what

1170
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 4: you try to come out of it with, and it's

1171
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 4: it's one of those where it's hard to do every

1172
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 4: single week on a consistent basis. It's not an accident.

1173
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 4: Why Kansas City is so good or Buffalo is so

1174
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 4: good or all these teams. There's a tremendous amount of

1175
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 4: work that goes into the overall that's just to get

1176
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 4: to game day, let alone win a football game.

1177
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 2: I don't know what was more impressive, Mark threw Donay

1178
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 2: at one point talking about time possession. I remember looking

1179
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 2: up and the stat on the board said Texas were

1180
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 2: at thirty one minutes. This is before the game is over. Yeah,

1181
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,720
Speaker 2: I remember the third quarter. I think it was halfway

1182
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 2: through the third quarter. It was thirty one minutes to six. Geez.

1183
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:23,439
Speaker 2: I don't know what's more impressive that or the fact

1184
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,760
Speaker 2: that the Niners didn't have a first down until under

1185
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 2: a minute left in the first half. That was beautiful.

1186
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 2: I mean it was incredible. And one of the things

1187
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 2: they were able to do Dre was keep Christian McCaffrey

1188
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 2: at check. And that becomes important because these two guys

1189
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 2: from the Broncos R J. Harvey and JK. Dobbins are

1190
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 2: not Christian McCaffrey, but they are running hot right now

1191
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:50,839
Speaker 2: for the Broncos. But in stopping McCaffrey and holding him

1192
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 2: under his average rushing wise holding him to just three catches,

1193
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 2: I know that had to be number one up on

1194
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:58,919
Speaker 2: the white board throughout the week. But they were able

1195
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 2: to do it and do it with some really good

1196
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 2: linebacker play. What do you think about the defense in

1197
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 2: just slowing McCaffrey down and kind of just really shutting

1198
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 2: him out for the day.

1199
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought they did a tremendous job on him

1200
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 4: and had a great game plan for for stopping him

1201
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 4: and uh and getting things settled and just a handle

1202
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 4: on the running game overall, but not letting him make

1203
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 4: He's you know, he's gonna get a couple of splash

1204
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 4: plays that's just automatic. You just got to not let

1205
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 4: him have the huge play that turns the momentum in

1206
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 4: another team's favor. Beating a team like like that, Uh,

1207
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 4: that does wonders that that is a confidence builder that

1208
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 4: you can uh and especially a team with a winning

1209
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 4: record coming in at five and two, but you hold

1210
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 4: their best player in check. UH. That That's that's tough

1211
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 4: to do. And I think mac Jones came in, he

1212
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 4: was hot, he was held to uh, you know, held

1213
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 4: in check pretty much as well. So their best two

1214
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 4: guys are the two hottest guys that they have. You

1215
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 4: shut that down, and you certainly got a chance to win.

1216
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 4: Then you limit the time that a guy like Krista

1217
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 4: McCaffrey's on the field by winning the time of possession battle.

1218
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 4: Not only did you win it, you dominated it. So

1219
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 4: that's just that's that shows it across the board. And

1220
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 4: he just physically when you go back and look at

1221
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 4: that game or think about it, you are the more

1222
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 4: physical team and that in that matchup against the forty

1223
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 4: nine ers.

1224
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 3: Drey, what is your level of surprise, if at all,

1225
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 3: about bo Nix's success so far? Here he is year two,

1226
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 3: he's about thirty five years old.

1227
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 2: No he's not.

1228
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 3: But he's got fifteen touchdown passes, five interceptions, sixty three

1229
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 3: percent completions, and Denver is winning most importantly for their cause.

1230
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 3: But here's bo Nicks. I mean he's been around the block.

1231
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 3: He's twenty five years old as we speak, so he's

1232
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 3: a lot older than c. J. Stroud. He's good.

1233
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 2: He's about a year and three quarters older.

1234
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 3: Than CJ.

1235
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 2: Stroud.

1236
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 3: Not that that means anything or everything or whatever, but

1237
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 3: I feel like these guys who have played a lot

1238
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 3: of college football, a lot of stars, maybe several different places,

1239
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 3: which seems to be the norm right now. Sometimes that

1240
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 3: helps when you come into the league.

1241
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 4: Your thoughts it therefore definitely helps because you know, he

1242
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 4: has started and played in a lot of big football games.

1243
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 4: Think about it from that standpoint. So you're coming into

1244
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 4: stadiums like, you know, wherever they're playing sixty seventy eighty thousand,

1245
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 4: he's already he's seen that already on the collegiate level,

1246
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 4: let alone, has started and played a bunch of games.

1247
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 4: You know, he's seen a lot of different defenses, a

1248
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 4: lot of things have been thrown at him. He's been

1249
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 4: in a lot of different offenses because of the transfers

1250
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 4: and the coaching changes. So he's used to that type

1251
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 4: of stuff. And to top it off, he's a football

1252
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 4: junkie that has merged with another football junkie in Sean Payton,

1253
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 4: and so those two get together. I will bet bo

1254
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 4: Nicks knew he was going to be drafted by the

1255
00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 4: Broncos before the draft and sometime before the and not

1256
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 4: trying to give it away, and they were already talking

1257
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 4: offense and strategies and terminology and things of that. Start

1258
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 4: trying to get a head start on it, because there's

1259
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 4: no accident that he mastered the offense as fast as

1260
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 4: he did. They spent a tremendous amount of time together,

1261
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 4: eating meals and going, oh, you know, plays on napkins,

1262
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 4: things of that sort, across the table from one another.

1263
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 4: That's the investment that you have to have in a

1264
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 4: young quarterback in order to get the success that you're

1265
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 4: looking for early. And you're gonna know whether he can,

1266
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 4: how to receive it, how to teach it to him,

1267
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 4: because you spent the time doing that, and that's what

1268
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 4: a guy like Sean Payton will do with bow knicks,

1269
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 4: and bow knicks will receive every single minute of it.

1270
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 6: Okay, so we'll do the mathro fast.

1271
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 2: Okay, that had thirty three points in the fourth quarter,

1272
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 2: that forty four yesterday, right, m seventy seven over five quarters. Yeah,

1273
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 2: so if you so, that's fifteen points per quarter. So basically,

1274
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 2: if if you projected of our whole game, the Broncos

1275
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 2: are averaging sixty points a game. We're the last couple

1276
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:08,919
Speaker 2: of games like, wow, Uh, this one's played the Cowboys. Yeah,

1277
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 2: I know, and I exactly it played the and it

1278
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 2: played the Cowboys. Though, I yesterday though the thumb weekends.

1279
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 4: Most weekends, the defense.

1280
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 2: Sounds like being college. You can score some times, but

1281
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 2: not every weekend. That said, Uh, the Broncos and the

1282
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 2: Eagles both wore their retro jerseys yesterday, right. The Eagles

1283
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 2: were the Kelly green. The Broncos wore that orange and

1284
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 2: then the blue like blue ya.

1285
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 6: So take your pick, both of you. Take your pick.

1286
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 2: Which one's better, the Kelly Green Eagles retro or the

1287
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 2: Broncos retro from yesterday's ray. You go first, if you

1288
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 2: got to pick one.

1289
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 4: I don't think I have anything in my closet. I

1290
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 4: might have a pair of workouts shorts that are green,

1291
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 4: which tells you the only thing green I like is money.

1292
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 4: So I'm going with the orange crush uniforms. I just don't.

1293
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not a fan of the color, but

1294
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 4: I love I made it. I talked about it yesterday

1295
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 4: when I looked up at the monitor and they were

1296
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 4: they were they were starting. Uh those I just love

1297
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 4: the orange crush uniforms. Love. I always have always will yep.

1298
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 3: I thought I was gonna like the Eagles uniforms more

1299
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 3: than I did. I thought about this last night. I

1300
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 3: thought I was, And then when I saw them in

1301
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 3: the highlight reel, I thought they don't. They really do

1302
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 3: look dated, they don't look bad. But the Denver ones

1303
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 3: just bring back more emotion. L Way, the three Amigo's

1304
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 3: all that stuff.

1305
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 2: I love that. Kelly green Man, Oh no, we don't

1306
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,680
Speaker 2: even bring up Stagner Lee Man. Wait, I didn't need

1307
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 2: for you to go there. Sorry, I didn't.

1308
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 3: Need for you to go there with because every time

1309
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 3: I think of a good memory with a team that

1310
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 3: you know, we have nothing to do with from those days,

1311
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 3: there's an there's a bad oiler memory there, definitely is.

1312
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 4: What you do is you could pretty much find one

1313
01:02:58,280 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 4: yes with just about every team.

1314
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 2: In one word, described the vomit and mustard uniforms of

1315
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 2: the Steelers last night, right.

1316
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 4: Horrible, horrible awful?

1317
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 3: How can how can anybody produce those that say, but

1318
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 3: I know they wore that nineteen thirty six or whatever

1319
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 3: you say, or something that looked like that. But the thing,

1320
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 3: here's the thing, and the same thing with the Packers retros,

1321
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 3: you know it was leather helmets and stuff. You're not

1322
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 3: gonna you're trying to duplicate a look with a modern

1323
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 3: with modern technology. You can't do it, and we'll just

1324
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 3: do something else, Do something else, don't.

1325
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 4: Do as as sweet as I like the powdered Blues

1326
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 4: or the Chargers. I hated the yellow last that they

1327
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 4: couldn't stand. I mean now that uniform spells can't win.

1328
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 4: You know, it's just the Steelers as well last night.

1329
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 4: It's just just just new going into the game. They're

1330
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 4: not winning in those.

1331
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what's sweet though. The H on the

1332
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 2: helmet is sweet.

1333
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 3: Here look good, it does look good.

1334
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 6: My favorite it is the best helmet magica.

1335
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 3: I think I might like that better than the battle

1336
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 3: red helmet. Yes, you know, I.

1337
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 6: Won't tell you I feel what the battle read with

1338
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 6: the H.

1339
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 2: Doug, Yeah, he's gonna love this. Whoa battle read.

1340
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 6: With the H guys on the air, because that's those

1341
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:14,959
Speaker 6: are the things we'll come.

1342
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 3: Up with exactly. We know what we're doing here, all right.

1343
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 3: Are a couple of thoughts here on the sport where

1344
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 3: they I was going to say with they don't pay

1345
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 3: play for pay, but they do actually so college football.

1346
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 3: Do you regret not coaching seeing some of these buyouts?

1347
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 4: Brian Kelly that that topic came up yesterday, And the

1348
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 4: closest I got was there was a time where Lane

1349
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 4: was rumored to be getting the job, and he had

1350
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 4: called me to come coach quarterbacks for him, and he

1351
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:54,720
Speaker 4: was swearing that if I provided whatever help I could,

1352
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 4: that you know, you know, he had a he had

1353
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 4: a spot for me. I'll say it like that. And

1354
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 4: uh I he was swearing that this would be his

1355
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 4: last stop. He's already coached on the other level. This

1356
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 4: was going to be his end, doll and so on

1357
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 4: and so forth. And I knew Lane was lying between

1358
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 4: his teeth that if I just got in the door

1359
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 4: for a while, you know, and been a part of

1360
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 4: his staff and we had any success, that there would

1361
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 4: have been a possibility of moving into you know, a

1362
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 4: head coaching role at some point there at you of

1363
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 4: h and and so I was that was about the closest.

1364
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 4: But no, I don't know, I don't regret it. But

1365
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:34,919
Speaker 4: the green, that type of green certainly looks good these days.

1366
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 4: It's it's crazy the amount of buyouts that that tops

1367
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 4: Jimbo stuff at uh at at A and M, and

1368
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 4: that was ridiculous in my opinion.

1369
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 2: When I was first out of Brown and I met

1370
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 2: my wife in Jacksonville, She's like, well, you know, what

1371
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 2: do you want to do with your life? You want

1372
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 2: to coach because coach. At the time, I was like, NA,

1373
01:05:53,040 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 2: coaches don't make enough money. Mistake. Well now that's changed.

1374
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to keep the headlines out of my

1375
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 2: wife's hands because if she sees what Brian Kelly is

1376
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 2: getting paid, I'm gonna get it. Is that the best

1377
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 2: job available. That's I was gonna say, LSU, Florida, Virginia Tech, UCLA,

1378
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 2: A lot of jobs dre.

1379
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 4: Which one to date one don't forget that one day.

1380
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a that's a great job. People just

1381
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 4: kind of underestimate Penn State. But the Big Ten and

1382
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 4: the SEC are going to dominate and rule where college

1383
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 4: football goes and what direction it goes here in the

1384
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 4: next five to ten years. So I mean, you want

1385
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 4: to be associated with either school. I do think, however,

1386
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 4: it's going to be a little bit easier to recruit Florida.

1387
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 4: It's gonna be easier to recruit LSU. I think LSU

1388
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 4: is the top job, Florida might be second, and then

1389
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 4: it followed by Penn State in that order. That would

1390
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 4: be what I would think. And then Arkansas is open

1391
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 4: as well. So I mean there's openings everywhere.

1392
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 2: It used to be safe this way.

1393
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 4: It used to be safe, real quick, Johnny, that to

1394
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 4: be a college football coach. At least you got to

1395
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 4: the end of the year. People cared about holding recruiting

1396
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 4: classes together and so on and so forth. It's not

1397
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 4: that way anymore. Yeah, it's just not that way.

1398
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 3: Because we want to work on the next day or whatever.

1399
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 4: Yep, exactly, exactly crazy.

1400
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 6: Let me ask a question a different way.

1401
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:24,919
Speaker 2: Do any of those jobs entice Lane Kiffen to leave

1402
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 2: Ole Miss? Oh?

1403
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 4: Here's what I told Paul Karkatera, our sideline guy, my

1404
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 4: crew when he posed that question. If I know Lane,

1405
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 4: like I know Lane. Lane is in the place that

1406
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 4: he wants to be in because he's been there a

1407
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 4: couple of years and he's really comfortable. He will flirt

1408
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 4: tremendously with Florida. You know why, because it's gonna up

1409
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 4: the end he at Ole Miss. Yeah, he feels like

1410
01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 4: he can win at Ole Miss, and he's got to

1411
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 4: kind of start over at Florida. I think Keith uses

1412
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 4: the job at Florida to up the ante at Old Miss.

1413
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 4: Old Miss will bite, they will give him a raise,

1414
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 4: and Lane will ride off into the sunset at Ole Miss.

1415
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 4: Unless Old Miss doesn't step up financially, then Lane will

1416
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 4: really start to entertain thinking about thinking about the next job,

1417
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:19,519
Speaker 4: which may be Florida.

1418
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:22,720
Speaker 3: Am I wrong saying ten to fifteen years ago? We're

1419
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 3: not even having this conversation. It's obvious that he's moving

1420
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 3: on from Ole Miss. Just like Indiana. You can win

1421
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 3: at these places now because of an I am am

1422
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 3: I right about that?

1423
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. I mean you get a passionate fan

1424
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 4: base and people that are willing to step in and

1425
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:45,679
Speaker 4: contribute to the program and help the program and whatever manner.

1426
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,840
Speaker 4: That is huge. It's huge, And you have and can

1427
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 4: meet revenue share and you're on I'm playing. You don't

1428
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 4: have to be exactly there where Texas is or Michigan

1429
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 4: or where some of these schools, but you're in the

1430
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 4: range where you can compete. Yeah, you can put together

1431
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 4: a pretty good run at a place like Old Miss

1432
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:06,480
Speaker 4: and a place like Indiana.

1433
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 2: One final thing about Lane Kiffin, Yeah, his agent Jimmy

1434
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 2: Sextonlank Kiffin's gonna get paid because Jimmy gets all of

1435
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:17,679
Speaker 2: his clients paid, whether they leave a job or staying

1436
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 2: a job.

1437
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 3: I was laying here at the ball at the Texas

1438
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 3: Bowl a couple of years ago. Years we interviewed him,

1439
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 3: played Texas Tech. We interviewed him in the reception.

1440
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 2: He was interesting, he was good fun. It was a

1441
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 2: lot of a good way a lot.

1442
01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 4: He's a lot of fun. He's understood a lot and

1443
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 4: some of it is self inflicted, but he's a lot

1444
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:36,639
Speaker 4: of fun.

1445
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 3: Did you see the yoga picture last week? Okay, never mind, Yeah.

1446
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 4: Did you see him? Did you see him trolling uh

1447
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 4: sec nation with Tim Tebow and and Laura Rutlits over

1448
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,679
Speaker 4: the weekend because they picked against him. Oh yeah, that's

1449
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:52,879
Speaker 4: totally ling, totally.

1450
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 2: Oh this guy is he's just you know, years ago

1451
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 2: it was it was annoying in a sense because it

1452
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 2: was like, what had he really done? And now he's

1453
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:05,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, I find it funny. I like it's entertaining,

1454
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 2: you know, like I think we need a little bit

1455
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 2: more of that.

1456
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 3: No One liked him when he was young, and he's even.

1457
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 4: Matured let's just say that in his tweets or x

1458
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 4: or Instagram or whatever it is that you read of

1459
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:20,679
Speaker 4: his he has matured over the years to where it's

1460
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,000
Speaker 4: now funny. Back then it was like, oh, you gotta

1461
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:25,879
Speaker 4: be kidning me, but now it's actually it's got It

1462
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 4: has a nice sense of humor to it.

1463
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 2: Drea is a proud alum of the University of Houston.

1464
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:32,599
Speaker 5: What does it mean?

1465
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 2: I know you mentioned it during the game yesterday. Willie

1466
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 2: Fritz has got the Coogs at seven and one ranked.

1467
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 2: They beat Arizona State. They're Arizona State champions because they

1468
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:43,880
Speaker 2: beat both Arizona and Arizona State and back to back weeks.

1469
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 2: I was at the game against Arizona. It was as

1470
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 2: fun a game as I've been to. Is a clean

1471
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 2: game on both sides. They win it with a field

1472
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 2: go at the end. They beat Arizona up. It was

1473
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 2: eight points at the end, but it really they beat

1474
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 2: him up pretty much the whole game. How proud are

1475
01:10:56,320 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 2: you what Willy's doing with the Houston Cougars.

1476
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 4: Very very Johnny, I'm so proud, you know. I'd like

1477
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 4: to say I'm close with coach. We communicate. He is

1478
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 4: what I would call a friend, and I'm pulling for him,

1479
01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 4: and I know what just getting Bowl eligible this year

1480
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 4: meant for him to and the growth of this program,

1481
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:22,760
Speaker 4: to show the growth of the program and that he

1482
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:26,920
Speaker 4: can pull off here what he's done everywhere else. And

1483
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 4: I think the schedule sets up for a fantastic finish.

1484
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 4: They've got a nice slate of games to finish out

1485
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 4: around out the season. But what he's done has been tremendous.

1486
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 4: What he has done off the field that people don't

1487
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 4: talk about in the recruiting classes that he's putting together

1488
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 4: for the future of this program. Uh that that is

1489
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 4: on par with in my opinion, with everything that not

1490
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,600
Speaker 4: so much not totally what the basketball program is, but

1491
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 4: boy has he stepped up to kind of close the

1492
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 4: gap there When people aren't just talking about what Kelvin

1493
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 4: Sampson has done at the University of Houston. Now it's

1494
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 4: Willie Fritz and he's quietly approaching that conversation where football

1495
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 4: matches basketball. It is tremendous. It's a great time to

1496
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:14,679
Speaker 4: be a Cougar athletically, and I couldn't be more proud

1497
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:20,040
Speaker 4: of both programs, both basketball and the football program.

1498
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 3: Very nice indeed. Yeah, tremendous win over the weekend Arizona State.

1499
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 2: Okay, Trey, who do you have this week.

1500
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:29,439
Speaker 4: Going up to Syracuse? So I'm going a long way

1501
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:32,880
Speaker 4: away going up to Syracuse. Watch and play North Carolina again.

1502
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 4: I've got and I say again because I had North

1503
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:39,679
Speaker 4: Carolina cal two weekends ago. So here we go again, boys,

1504
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:42,680
Speaker 4: and you know what I mean by that. So we

1505
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 4: should be an interesting game.

1506
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,720
Speaker 3: So did you have the production meeting with Belichick a

1507
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago?

1508
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 4: Yes, we did the zoom call with Coach Belichick.

1509
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:57,200
Speaker 3: Was anybody talking in the background? Never mind, No, don't

1510
01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 3: answer that, but was it.

1511
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:03,640
Speaker 4: Anybody really?

1512
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 5: Really? But not really?

1521
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,800
Speaker 3: in the history of the franchise, they bounced. Well I

1522
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:32,880

Speaker 3: Wow, and just looked tremendous and a lopsided victory.

1535
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 2: Is it really lops?

1536
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 3: It's a two score win, and it was fine?

1537
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 2: It loops it.

1538
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 3: I think this is one people said on Monday night

1539
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 3: or after that game that the game was not as

1540
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:23,960
Speaker 3: close as the score would indicate.

1541
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:24,800
Speaker 2: This is one of those.

1542
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 3: Even though it got to a one score game, I

1543
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 3: was never panicking, but I knew you needed a drive

1544
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:31,599
Speaker 3: and they got one to make it a two score lead.

1545
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:31,800
Speaker 5: Again.

1546
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 3: Anyway, let's get the thoughts of the Hall of Famer

1547
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 3: John McClain, the General joining us.

1548
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:37,599
Speaker 2: Good morning, General.

1549
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 3: Okay, it was rough Monday night, but this was a

1550
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 3: whole lot better on Sunday afternoon.

1551
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:42,600
Speaker 2: Your thoughts.

1552
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 12: I watched it last night two times, everything in slow

1553
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 12: motion and watching the different positions, and first of all,

1554
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 12: if I had heard any more about forty nine ers injuries,

1555
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 12: I was gonna throw up. They don't mention it. Joe

1556
01:14:56,080 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 12: makes and Nato'collins, Christian Kirk thank Dale missed from the

1557
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 12: Texans offense, but that's fine. And I think the reason

1558
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:07,760
Speaker 12: it seemed more lopsided that touch now at the end

1559
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 12: of the first half was on the special teams on

1560
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:14,559
Speaker 12: the kickoff coverage and not so much the defense. And

1561
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 12: I felt bad for Stroud's one interception as time was

1562
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 12: running out in the first half and it looked like

1563
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 12: Jaylen Nole kept running and he expected him to break

1564
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 12: it off. So Stroud was great. But it all starts

1565
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:31,919
Speaker 12: with the offensive line, tight ends, wide receivers, everybody blocking

1566
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 12: and British Brooks. British Brooks just annihilated one of the

1567
01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 12: forty nine ers. It got out and all the former

1568
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 12: NFL people online, same NFL former players and gms have

1569
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 12: been very critical of the offense after the Seattle game,

1570
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 12: kept running that play where British Brooks just steamrolled the

1571
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:55,680
Speaker 12: forty nine ers. So it started with the blogging. It

1572
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 12: could tell. Strad was very very confident when he threw

1573
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:05,240
Speaker 12: big Blaze Woody marks fifty and twenty three that Xavier

1574
01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 12: Hutchinson passed and Ron perfect pass from Strive. Great run

1575
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 12: by Hutchins, and I didn't know he was that fast

1576
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 12: and getting Jayalen Noel and Jayde Niggins involved as a

1577
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:19,960
Speaker 12: thing of beauty. Five let's see one, two, three, five

1578
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 12: players caught at least four passes. He was spreading the

1579
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 12: wealth and it was just an outstanding performance. Started up

1580
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 12: front defensively McCaffrey twenty five yards three point one average

1581
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:37,160
Speaker 12: for Carrie. They only ran the ball ten times. Mac

1582
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 12: Jones said afterward it was the best defense they faced

1583
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 12: this season and it was just a tremendous performance on

1584
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:50,839
Speaker 12: both sides of the ball. And now they get Denver.

1585
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:56,640
Speaker 12: Then Denver just crushed the Cowboys. I taped it and

1586
01:16:56,680 --> 01:17:00,080
Speaker 12: watched it, and the Broncos had more saxon eighteen in

1587
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 12: the league. They're coming in if somehow the Texans can

1588
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 12: beat them, and they're certainly capable. They get Jacksonville and

1589
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:09,600
Speaker 12: Tennessee back to back, and this team could get on

1590
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 12: a roll.

1591
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:12,680
Speaker 6: Well, it would be nice if they could get on

1592
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 6: a roll.

1593
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 2: General the offense had guys impacting it that we maybe

1594
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 2: hadn't seen a ton of the Cyclones obviously had big days,

1595
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:25,679
Speaker 2: but Braxton Burials also stepped in and did a really

1596
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 2: nice job with no Nico and no Kirk. Were your

1597
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 2: thoughts about how the receivers stepped up and gave them

1598
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 2: impactful plays all game long?

1599
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 12: Big tap Barry I was dead one play I think

1600
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 12: it was in the first quarter where he caught the bass,

1601
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 12: got it still broke a couple of tackles to get

1602
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 12: a first down. I'm sorry he got hurt and murder

1603
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,880
Speaker 12: anything about it. But we don't know how much how

1604
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 12: long Collins is going to be out. But one of

1605
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 12: the things they had with Hutchinson Knowle Higgins they didn't

1606
01:17:56,479 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 12: and even Jared waynecock two passes the dar Goombley had

1607
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 12: an eight yard catch and Dalton Schultz who had nine

1608
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:06,920
Speaker 12: and Seattle was limited to two because they were throwing

1609
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 12: to the whiteouts so much. And it was just a

1610
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:13,400
Speaker 12: thing of beauty to think what this k team can

1611
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 12: do when they get protection. Now, the forty nine ers

1612
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:20,920
Speaker 12: did have pass rushers out the Broncos don't. The Broncos

1613
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:23,880
Speaker 12: is going to be for the offensive line. The toughest

1614
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,599
Speaker 12: test of the year because the last two years they've

1615
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 12: been the best pass rush team in the NFL, and

1616
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 12: they got to feel very confident coming off of that

1617
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 12: embarrassment of the Cowboys, and I know we all hate that,

1618
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 12: and I look forward to this game and fired up

1619
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:42,160
Speaker 12: about it, fired up about seeing if the offensive line

1620
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 12: can do it. Stride was only hit two times as

1621
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:50,400
Speaker 12: opposed to Mac Jones being knocked down six times, three

1622
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:54,599
Speaker 12: by will Anderson Junior and two by Derrick Barnett who

1623
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 12: had a sack. And the defense defense was outstanding as well,

1624
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,639
Speaker 12: and they didn't give up big plays like they had

1625
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 12: the week before. It was just a great performance by

1626
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:09,759
Speaker 12: the offense and defense. And Nick Kayley, who's been getting

1627
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 12: blasted by fans in the media. Nick deserves a lot

1628
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,880
Speaker 12: of broup plays for the play column go into the

1629
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:20,160
Speaker 12: quarterback snake and it works, and things that they made

1630
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:23,280
Speaker 12: adjustments that they did not do in Seattle. It was

1631
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:25,639
Speaker 12: a great thing to watch.

1632
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it certainly was.

1633
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 3: And you know, it's not a great thing to watch

1634
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 3: the Colts going out to seven and one after a

1635
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 3: thirty eight to fourteen victory over the Titans. And I

1636
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 3: look at the Colts, John, I just think this is

1637
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:42,599
Speaker 3: a good team. I know people complain about the schedule

1638
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 3: not being difficult, but they are just bludgeting a lot

1639
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 3: of people here that run into their path. So your

1640
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 3: thoughts on their success so far. They're going to get

1641
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,800
Speaker 3: the Steelers on Sunday. I mean, I don't even know

1642
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 3: what that means anymore after last night in the game before.

1643
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 3: So you tell me your thoughts on the Colts here.

1644
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 12: After eight games, they are on a page to break

1645
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:07,519
Speaker 12: the all time record for touchdowns rushing now compared to

1646
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:10,479
Speaker 12: the Packers when they played fourteen, they should be able

1647
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:14,559
Speaker 12: to do the seventeen. But Jonathan Taylor, he's got to

1648
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:18,479
Speaker 12: be an MVP conversation. So there's Daniel Jones. They have

1649
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:21,799
Speaker 12: been incredible, all that talent. They's stock pilot wide receiver.

1650
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 12: They have the best tight end rookie one of the best,

1651
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:28,960
Speaker 12: Tyler Warren. He's been tremendous. Their defense has been great.

1652
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:31,599
Speaker 12: They get the tee off on teams in the second

1653
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 12: half because they have a big lead. Titans couldn't hang

1654
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:38,760
Speaker 12: with them, and that last game of the year, that's

1655
01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:42,280
Speaker 12: a teap to be determined. It'll be really interesting to

1656
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:46,120
Speaker 12: see the playoff ramifications. The way it's going to the Colts.

1657
01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:50,599
Speaker 12: They may have the division clinched by Thanksgiving because they

1658
01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:53,799
Speaker 12: have been tremendous and they deserve a lot of credit.

1659
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 12: Daniel Jones right now got to be the leading candidate

1660
01:20:57,320 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 12: to Comeback Player of the Year. And and Johnathan Taylor

1661
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:05,120
Speaker 12: nobody knows better than the Texans what he's capable of.

1662
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 12: Between Jonathan Taylor and Derrick Henry, those guys have put

1663
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:12,519
Speaker 12: a lie of misery on the Texans through the years.

1664
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 12: But they've now shut down Henry. And if you can

1665
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:18,679
Speaker 12: shut down Derrick Henry, you can contain Jonathan Taylor.

1666
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:22,519
Speaker 2: Can you imagine us getting on a roll? Oh, we

1667
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:24,880
Speaker 2: have to go up there holding to Indy. I'm not

1668
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 2: ready just shutting it down. It's gonna happen. The date

1669
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:31,160
Speaker 2: will occur, It's on the schedule. The Texans will be

1670
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:34,120
Speaker 2: up there, and you know that that week. My hair

1671
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 2: is gonna be spiked.

1672
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm just gonna be like without any product whatsoever.

1673
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 2: This is gonna it is gonna be on in that one. Yeah,

1674
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:45,599
Speaker 2: it's gonna be. It definitely will be Chiefs Commanders tonight.

1675
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:48,639
Speaker 2: Marcus Barriota will quarterback the Commanders General. Do you give

1676
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:51,400
Speaker 2: him and the Commanders a shot at all.

1677
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:56,640
Speaker 12: No Chiefs, Ron Row Mariota. Can you imagine you have

1678
01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 12: all these nationally televised games with Cincinnati and Washington and

1679
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:04,800
Speaker 12: then and Jaden Daniels wasn't playing really well from the

1680
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 12: get go. Drake May and bow Knicks had run off

1681
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 12: and left him in their second seasons, partially because of

1682
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:14,799
Speaker 12: injuries that they were struggling even when he was healthy.

1683
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 12: But right now the networks coming out with Mariota and

1684
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:23,800
Speaker 12: then of course with Joe Flacco and Browning and Cincinnati,

1685
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,519
Speaker 12: I feel bad for him. That's what happens when you

1686
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 12: lose your quarterback. So no, the Chiefs right now, we're

1687
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:33,479
Speaker 12: talking about the Colts. You know, Buffalo came back just

1688
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 12: annihilated Andy Dalton and the Panthers. So I still haven't

1689
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,880
Speaker 12: given up on the on the Bills and Lions. As

1690
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:44,240
Speaker 12: my Super Bowl teams were right now, I'd be art

1691
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:47,679
Speaker 12: pressed to pick somebody ahead of the Chiefs and the Colts.

1692
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I think you have to give it

1693
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 3: to the Chiefs right now. But what about the Patriots here?

1694
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 3: And look, their schedule has not exactly been Murderer's row,

1695
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 3: But you got to give them credit. And they took

1696
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 3: on the Browns yesterday they Demolo then thirty two to thirteen.

1697
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:05,080
Speaker 3: So Cleveland two and six, just watching, thank you. But

1698
01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:08,679
Speaker 3: the thoughts on the New England Patriots general, who when

1699
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:10,960
Speaker 3: I look down the stretch here, they've got a few

1700
01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 3: land mines, but a lot of Jets, Dolphins, Giants.

1701
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:16,599
Speaker 2: Two with the Jets. So here we go.

1702
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 12: What do you think The win Buffalo made them legitimate?

1703
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,880
Speaker 12: But they're a year ahead. They had more money to

1704
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 12: spend in any team in the off season, they spent

1705
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 12: it wisely. They also have more cap dollars right now

1706
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 12: than any team, so they are set up to have

1707
01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:40,320
Speaker 12: another great offseason. And Mike Rabel right now would be

1708
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 12: a Coach of the Year candidate. I can't imagine he

1709
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:48,000
Speaker 12: would beat out Shane Stike in Indianapolis. And considering how

1710
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 12: bad the schedule is, how bad their division is. Even

1711
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:53,920
Speaker 12: though the Dolphins bounce back to a tongue of a

1712
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:57,080
Speaker 12: low had a great game, I still think, you know,

1713
01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:00,240
Speaker 12: they're a wildcard team at best. But do not see

1714
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:04,880
Speaker 12: the Patriots winning the division over the Bills.

1715
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:08,760
Speaker 2: How about the Ravens winning the division over the Steelers?

1716
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:12,720
Speaker 2: From that get Up, Get Up was on and they

1717
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:18,439
Speaker 2: flashed the odds to win the AFC North. The Ravens

1718
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:21,760
Speaker 2: are the only team with a minus number. Wow, they're

1719
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:22,639
Speaker 2: two and five.

1720
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 3: Well, Lamar might come back Thursday, General, what do you

1721
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:27,639
Speaker 3: think here? They're two and five. Now the Steelers look

1722
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:29,679
Speaker 3: like they're plumbting on the defensive side of the ball.

1723
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 12: Anyway, we talked about this last week when we thought

1724
01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:37,600
Speaker 12: Lamar Jackson might be back, because the Ravens faked like

1725
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:40,240
Speaker 12: he might be back, which could cost them a draft

1726
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 12: choice for a lot of money. Because you can't do that,

1727
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:47,280
Speaker 12: especially in the current climate We've got the NBA and

1728
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 12: all these stories coming out about athletes and gambling. You

1729
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:55,800
Speaker 12: cannot manipulate the injury report, which John Arbaugh claimed was

1730
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 12: an accident. Like you've been coaching eighteen years, give me

1731
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 12: a bleeping break. And I think this right now, if

1732
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:08,599
Speaker 12: you look around the NFL and Tyler Huntley played really well,

1733
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:12,439
Speaker 12: Why were they playing Cooper Rush? Why did they not

1734
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 12: see Huntley? He's played for him before in his won

1735
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:18,200
Speaker 12: a few games, actually went to the Pro Bowl one

1736
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:23,559
Speaker 12: season when Lamar Jackson was injured. But if Jason comes

1737
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 12: back on the short week, great but if they played

1738
01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 12: the way they played Sunday and Hundley completed a high

1739
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 12: percentage of his passes, they're capable beating anyone. They're going

1740
01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 12: to get more defensive players back. So I'm going with

1741
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 12: the Ravens. Nobody's going to want to play them when

1742
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:40,640
Speaker 12: they get to the playoffs and they have to go

1743
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:44,360
Speaker 12: and have to go to Baltimore for the first round.

1744
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 3: Good to get them when you got them, no doubt

1745
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:48,720
Speaker 3: about that.

1746
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 2: They get them again maybe who knows.

1747
01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 3: Oh, I'll sign up for that right now. That means

1748
01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:53,599
Speaker 3: you're in the postseason.

1749
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 6: You know who returned yesterday though, that made a big difference.

1750
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 2: Patrick or cart times I talked about that big soccer

1751
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 2: playing fullback, Yeah, changes everything. You put three hundred pounds

1752
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:03,599
Speaker 2: in front of Derick Henry, yep.

1753
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:05,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta deal with him. Yep, you gotta deal

1754
01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:08,720
Speaker 3: with him. All right, General, looking forward to Sunday and

1755
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:10,760
Speaker 3: looking forward to Thursday, another visit with you. Thank you

1756
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 3: very much for joining us this morning.

1757
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 12: I look forward to it, guys, Thank you very much

1758
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:16,040
Speaker 12: as always.

1759
01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:18,840
Speaker 3: All right, thank you and smoking hot players of the game.

1760
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:19,599
Speaker 2: Who are they?

1761
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:23,320
Speaker 3: Plenty of them, Plenty of work to go around. For everybody,

1762
01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:26,640
Speaker 3: as the Texans were victorious over the forty nine ers

1763
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 3: and have Denver coming up next. Denver beating the Cowboys

1764
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 3: by twenty. Thank you for doing that, but we hated

1765
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:34,599
Speaker 3: you getting another victory at six and two. Now we'll

1766
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:36,599
Speaker 3: talk about it on Texans Monday.

1767
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 1: Now more Texans Monday.

1768
01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:44,639
Speaker 3: CJ and the gut Stroud hands off to Woody Marks

1769
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 3: again running to the left side, has the corner thirty

1770
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:51,120
Speaker 3: twenty five twenty and knocking them ount inside the fifteen

1771
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:52,000
Speaker 3: yard line.

1772
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 2: Woody Marks does.

1773
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:56,160
Speaker 3: It again, runs it into the red zone as the

1774
01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:59,599
Speaker 3: Texans have a big drive going when they needed it most.

1775
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:03,479
Speaker 3: All right, bigger game, Johnny, Woody Marks. You have to

1776
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 3: pick among your children here. Oh it's not fair, Woody Marks,

1777
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 3: nol Higgins, Ursery, these rookies all playing a big job.

1778
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 3: And now Ursery big because I didn't mention his name once.

1779
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:22,599
Speaker 3: I think I mentioned his name just to say it once.

1780
01:27:22,600 --> 01:27:24,680
Speaker 3: It's like Ursery playing left tackle. Make sure, just to

1781
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 3: remind people we got a rookie over there at left tackle.

1782
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 3: Try to get through this storm here and business handling

1783
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:34,439
Speaker 3: things well. And boy, what an opportunity this is to

1784
01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:36,479
Speaker 3: have these next two at home, and then you go

1785
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:37,480
Speaker 3: to Tennessee.

1786
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:38,879
Speaker 2: Are you kidding?

1787
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 3: And look, I look at some of these other teams

1788
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:44,040
Speaker 3: schedules and I'm drooling thinking about what it would be

1789
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 3: like to play some of these squads. But you're playing Denver.

1790
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:49,320
Speaker 3: Then you're playing Jacksonville a winning team as we speak

1791
01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 3: right now. Who does Jacksonville have this week as they

1792
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 3: get back from the bye? Let me see, Jags were off.

1793
01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 3: There were six teams with byes. Oh, they're at the Raiders,

1794
01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:00,559
Speaker 3: so they could get a winning come in fat happy,

1795
01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:02,400
Speaker 3: just like the Broncos are gonna be fat and happy.

1796
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:03,360
Speaker 3: We're gonna roll them over.

1797
01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 2: It's gonna be playoff games Sunday. Man, then it's gonna

1798
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 2: be a playoff game Sundawn. They're all, I mean, look

1799
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:11,439
Speaker 2: a four losses right now? How many games can you

1800
01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 2: lose the rest of the way? Two more? That's it.

1801
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:16,120
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the way they going.

1802
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:18,280
Speaker 3: They got to be the right losses too, And look,

1803
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:19,519
Speaker 3: I don't want to lose two more. I want to

1804
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 3: lose no more. But you know the way it's going

1805
01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 3: in the AFC. When you look at the Patriots with

1806
01:28:26,160 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 3: six wins, the Colts with seven wins, the Bills.

1807
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 2: Are not that.

1808
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:32,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you didn't expect two teams in the AFC East

1809
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 3: to have high wind totals. You thought maybe the Dolphins

1810
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:37,559
Speaker 3: would sneak up to eight to nine, but the Patriots

1811
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:38,479
Speaker 3: already at six.

1812
01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 2: If I would have told you at the beginning of

1813
01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:42,360
Speaker 2: the year, at this point, the Ravens would be two

1814
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 2: and six, five and five starry, and the Chiefs would

1815
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:48,120
Speaker 2: be four and three.

1816
01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, what would you have thought?

1817
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 2: And the Bills would be foll The Bills are not

1818
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 2: five and two.

1819
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,559
Speaker 3: But I would think something's going wrong in Kansas City.

1820
01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:56,559
Speaker 3: But you know, looking at.

1821
01:28:56,840 --> 01:28:58,679
Speaker 2: Based on us, I would be like, oh man, we

1822
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:02,479
Speaker 2: were at the top. We're right, Yeah, well we're not.

1823
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 2: Our marching for air is very, very small. That makes

1824
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 2: this game against the Broncos a playoff game.

1825
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:11,599
Speaker 6: If you were sitting here six and one.

1826
01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:16,800
Speaker 2: Or five and two, then okay, if you don't get it,

1827
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:19,600
Speaker 2: you still got Jacksonville, Tennessee before you take on the

1828
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:22,800
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills, okay, and get kind of back on track.

1829
01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:26,400
Speaker 2: But this point, there is there is no there is

1830
01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:28,720
Speaker 2: no margin for air. At this point. You play a

1831
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:31,639
Speaker 2: number of good teams and it's just it's the next

1832
01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:33,920
Speaker 2: one on the schedule, but it is a bit as

1833
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:38,200
Speaker 2: big we we thought Seattle was big. Okay, it didn't

1834
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:40,400
Speaker 2: turn out the way we wanted to. We knew yesterday

1835
01:29:40,640 --> 01:29:42,960
Speaker 2: was you got to have this one, and you made

1836
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:45,880
Speaker 2: a statement yesterday of what team you could be. And

1837
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:49,240
Speaker 2: now you've got this team coming in that is hot offensively,

1838
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 2: hot defensively, they can do some things. So it's a

1839
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 2: big test. But you're playing at home. You mentioned the guys,

1840
01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:59,759
Speaker 2: the rookies stepping up. At one point during the game,

1841
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 2: all of were on the field together. Yeah, no, all

1842
01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:05,120
Speaker 2: of them were on the field together. I thought it's

1843
01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:05,719
Speaker 2: pretty cool.

1844
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:06,479
Speaker 3: It is cool.

1845
01:30:06,520 --> 01:30:09,720
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool, and it shows you how youthfulest offense is.

1846
01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 2: That's all rookies, where it could get go, where it

1847
01:30:12,160 --> 01:30:12,639
Speaker 2: could go.

1848
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:17,240
Speaker 3: Four rookies on offense on a day where you rack

1849
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:18,679
Speaker 3: up over four hundred yards.

1850
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:20,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty beautiful. Take it.

1851
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:21,920
Speaker 3: Wait, what was the total yards?

1852
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:27,400
Speaker 2: Total? Total, total total for seventy ish.

1853
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:28,920
Speaker 5: That's nice, I'll find it here.

1854
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:32,639
Speaker 3: Eventually it was force for seventy five.

1855
01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:34,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I thought. For seventy five. You more

1856
01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:35,960
Speaker 2: than doubled them up.

1857
01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:38,519
Speaker 6: Yea, just like you more than doubled up the Ravens.

1858
01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:40,439
Speaker 2: You more than doubled up the Titans. Nine.

1859
01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:43,439
Speaker 3: When you've won, you've dominated, really nine of sixteen on

1860
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:44,040
Speaker 3: third down.

1861
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:47,320
Speaker 6: Now you're gonna win some close games, Well close.

1862
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:49,040
Speaker 3: I just blow them out on Sunday. Well yeah, I

1863
01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:51,360
Speaker 3: mean it'd be nice, but they were down nineteen nothing

1864
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:53,760
Speaker 3: to the Giants at home. Anything's possible in this league.

1865
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:55,800
Speaker 3: We all know it's week to week. Yeah, it's true,

1866
01:30:55,800 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 3: because the Ravens won yesterday without Lamar. The Dolphins beat

1867
01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:02,639
Speaker 3: Atlanta when Atlanta desperately needed it was playing. And by

1868
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:03,720
Speaker 3: the way, that's got it.

1869
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:07,200
Speaker 6: That's dead dead dead, that's dead good dead dead.

1870
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:09,599
Speaker 2: I mean weird dead weird.

1871
01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:11,880
Speaker 3: Where you're begging for Penis, not that you don't want

1872
01:31:11,880 --> 01:31:13,600
Speaker 3: to see Petis if you're an Atlanta fan, he's in

1873
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:15,800
Speaker 3: there for a reason. But you thought that there was

1874
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:18,200
Speaker 3: more there with Cousins. He's supposed to be the guy.

1875
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:19,960
Speaker 2: But did you see what the forty nine ers did

1876
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:23,760
Speaker 2: to to Penix? They destroyed him. Oh, they were the

1877
01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:26,599
Speaker 2: same defense that we put four seventy five on. They

1878
01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:32,040
Speaker 2: destroyed Penix and Bjon. Yeah, had all kinds of.

1879
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:34,200
Speaker 3: Issues again, some of this stuff it is so weak

1880
01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:36,360
Speaker 3: to week because they look at what Seattle did. They figure, well,

1881
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:38,200
Speaker 3: we should be able to do that. We hung with

1882
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:39,599
Speaker 3: them and we beat them at the play.

1883
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:42,920
Speaker 2: Are so happy with us. I saw a few of

1884
01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:46,920
Speaker 2: their tweets. They're just like it was a couple of

1885
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:49,080
Speaker 2: them were kind of funny, but it was like, oh, man,

1886
01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:52,240
Speaker 2: yeah we did. We did the NFC West of Favorite yesterday,

1887
01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:56,000
Speaker 2: knocking off knocking off the Niners. It was, Uh, it

1888
01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:58,320
Speaker 2: was interesting after the game. I'm always curious after a game,

1889
01:31:58,400 --> 01:32:01,599
Speaker 2: like what the opponent has to say about us? What

1890
01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:04,040
Speaker 2: do they have to say about us? And I immediately

1891
01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:07,519
Speaker 2: saw Kyle Shanahan's comment, which was they kicked our ass

1892
01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:09,519
Speaker 2: and we did.

1893
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:10,360
Speaker 3: Yeah we did.

1894
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:14,240
Speaker 2: After that, Jones saying I faced that defense. I think

1895
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:16,400
Speaker 2: he said three times in the last how many ever years,

1896
01:32:16,439 --> 01:32:19,400
Speaker 2: and he goes, that's the best defense. Wow, And I

1897
01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:21,680
Speaker 2: think a lot of people think that. I think a

1898
01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:25,400
Speaker 2: lot of people, you know, if it's if it's not us,

1899
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:28,519
Speaker 2: it's maybe the Broncos at this point, I don't know,

1900
01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:31,160
Speaker 2: but it was clear for him to say, yeah, that's

1901
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:33,080
Speaker 2: the best defense. Maybe the Packers and they give up

1902
01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:34,240
Speaker 2: twenty five last night, But.

1903
01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:36,880
Speaker 3: Well about this. I'll give you some numbers here, not

1904
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:41,080
Speaker 3: too many. Denver's fifth and total defense, yardage, all right,

1905
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:43,960
Speaker 3: points per game, Denver, they were right up there, but

1906
01:32:43,960 --> 01:32:47,200
Speaker 3: they've given up some lately. They're fifth in points per game,

1907
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:50,280
Speaker 3: all right, but it's eighteen to nine, so it's nineteen

1908
01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:52,760
Speaker 3: points per game. Texans are at fourteen to seven right now.

1909
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:55,880
Speaker 3: Yesterday hurt your average. Oh, but you're number one in

1910
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:58,680
Speaker 3: points at the point. And this is the first time

1911
01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 3: in history that's ever happened. I don't remember a time

1912
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:03,519
Speaker 3: this late in the season when the Texans were this

1913
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:07,960
Speaker 3: high in defense in both those categories. Demiko's last defense

1914
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:11,000
Speaker 3: in San Francisco. I'll paint this picture. They were number

1915
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:13,200
Speaker 3: one points in yards and it was the first time

1916
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:15,519
Speaker 3: in forty nine ers history they had achieved that. And

1917
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:19,519
Speaker 3: that's saying something. Yards are one thing. What's your points? Well,

1918
01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:22,000
Speaker 3: if those are low two, you're doing some good things,

1919
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:23,880
Speaker 3: and then you look at third downs and everything else,

1920
01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:26,040
Speaker 3: but points, it's points, right, And it's a team thing too,

1921
01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:28,000
Speaker 3: because if the offense is coughing it up in your

1922
01:33:28,080 --> 01:33:30,760
Speaker 3: twenty yard like the Titans were won in yards last

1923
01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:33,320
Speaker 3: year for a long time, but the offense was given

1924
01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:35,360
Speaker 3: the opponent the ball in the twenty all the time

1925
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:38,280
Speaker 3: or wherever, with all these turnovers, and people were scoring

1926
01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:39,760
Speaker 3: at will, so they weren't going to be there at

1927
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 3: scoring anyway. That's it for the show this morning in

1928
01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:47,719
Speaker 3: the Loop. Coming up next Lopez and Reggie, and we'll

1929
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:50,200
Speaker 3: be back at five with the Demico Ryans Program. You

1930
01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:52,040
Speaker 3: don't want to miss that. Thank you very much, Ben

1931
01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:55,240
Speaker 3: for producing. Have a great day everyone, Go Texans.
