23
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: They went on Monday night. They didn't want a playoff game.

24
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: We had one on the one on the road. I

25
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 2: feel like that was one that kind of stood out

26
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: to me about winning on the road. We've won a

27
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 2: lot of big games on the road, you know, since

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: you've gotten here at twenty twenty three. But getting that

29
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: playoff win on the road, how important was that to

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 2: just say, Okay, we're over that hurdle.

31
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 5: We can move on.

32
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: We can win games on the world the playoffs where

33
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 2: that's not an issue.

34
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's the biggest one. Knowing the position we're in,

35
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 4: knowing as a wild card, like you gotta go in

36
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 4: the role, you gotta win games. A lot of people

37
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 4: say you can't do it, it's the home field advantage. But

38
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 4: for me, you know, it was very big for our

39
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 4: organization to get that first role playoff win and show that, hey,

40
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 4: we can do it no matter what's happened in the past.

41
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 6: Hey, this is the new Texas.

42
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 7: We're here.

43
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: It's a different you know, it's a different error right now.

44
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 4: So it's a lot of first to be had, and

45
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 4: you know, I'm happy to be here with this team

46
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 4: and leading us into a lot of first coach.

47
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: I know, you wanted to have a bigger lead than

48
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: one point going into the fourth quarter, but I felt

49
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 3: like there was no panic. The guys kept it together

50
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 3: knowing their moment was gonna come. How did you see it?

51
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: How was it on the sideline?

52
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 4: I really felt that from our guys, you know, they

53
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 4: they gave me that confidence that man, you know, we're

54
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 4: we're in control, coach, we have this, you know, when

55
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 4: we go down and unfortunately we have the turnover there

56
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 4: in the red area, the way the defense responded, I

57
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 4: was I was probably not in a great move, wasn't

58
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 4: my best moment, but the way they responded and they

59
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 4: went I was like, hey, coach, we got I was like,

60
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 4: oh wow, okay, these guys are locked in, they're ready

61
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 4: for this moment and they feel like they were in

62
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 4: complete control and they went out and they played that way.

63
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 4: So for us, man, when you see the defense goes out,

64
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 4: when you turn the ball over, you know, three times

65
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 4: and they only get three points off of those turnovers,

66
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: I mean, then you go and take the football away

67
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 4: two times and score fourteen point Like that's the makings

68
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 4: of a really, you know, really great game going in

69
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 4: your way, and that's what I felt from our guys.

70
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 4: Nobody waivered, everybody no matter we were up one point,

71
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 4: you felt like we were in control of the game,

72
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 4: just because of how the guys just kept battling and

73
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: knowing that we've been here before in the fourth quarter

74
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 4: and we know how to finish games. So I think

75
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 4: just going through the season and having some games where man,

76
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 4: it wasn't always pretty to start those games, or we

77
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: got out hot to start and they kind of slowed

78
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 4: down in the second and third quarter, our fourth quarters

79
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 4: have been great and that's what we needed in that moment.

80
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: We needed a great fourth quarter, and we got to

81
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: keep that going.

82
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 6: That's what it takes.

83
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: It's all about how you finish these games. Doesn't matter

84
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: how they look. The w is always pretty, so let's

85
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 4: keep getting them.

86
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: In the first quarter, second quarter, when did we score

87
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: a touchdown in the first half?

88
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 5: That ninety two yard drive. I bring that up because

89
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 5: second quarter, second quarter.

90
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: I bring that up because it felt like that drive,

91
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: even though Office did turn the ball over a few times.

92
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: I know you weren't happy about, but it felt like

93
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: that drive because it had a mix of Chubb and

94
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: Woody and throwing, but in particular the running game. It

95
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: felt like you were really established in the line of

96
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: scrimmage the way that you wanted to and it felt

97
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: like maybe there was confidence.

98
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 5: That you gained from that.

99
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: Then in the second half, when you decided, okay, we're

100
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: gonna really just stuff this right down.

101
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 5: Our throat, you did it.

102
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: It was like that physical statement, but it was it

103
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: felt like that drive in the first half kind of

104
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: set the tone for what happened in the second half.

105
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 6: It really did.

106
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: I saw that the way our guys were controlling the

107
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage, Like once the old line I'm watching

108
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 4: it from the side, and once I see the old

109
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 4: line come off and just displace their defense, I'm like, man,

110
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 4: we this is how it's supposed to look. Yeah, all right,

111
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 4: and this is us controlling the front, which was our

112
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 4: number one key to victory for beating the Steelers, we

113
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 4: had to control their front. I felt our offensive line

114
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 4: did that early, and that's why I kept encouraging us, Hey,

115
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 4: let's stay with the run. Let's stay with the run,

116
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 4: because the guys are doing a great job. Woodie and

117
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 4: Chubb did a great job. And then you felt the

118
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: balance when you run it well, that opened up some

119
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 4: of our play action pass game, whether it was the

120
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 4: keepers or we tried to take a couple of shots there, Like,

121
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 4: that's what opens it up.

122
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 6: So it's all about, you.

123
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 4: Know, really establishing that run game early and it opens

124
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 4: up your entire playbook and now you have a balance

125
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 4: attack where you can go on you know, a long

126
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 4: drive and really you know, sealed the deal there finishing

127
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 4: it in zone.

128
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 3: You were ten to fifteen in third downs. Sign us

129
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: up for that every week, right, let's go, let's go.

130
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 3: That's the key.

131
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 4: You want to sustain drive, stay on the field, like

132
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 4: you have to win those third downs. And that credit

133
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: to Kaylee for mixing it up also on the third down,

134
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: just different type of different type of formations, different calls.

135
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 6: It was.

136
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 4: I thought it was well orchestrated by him, and the

137
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 4: guys executed it very well.

138
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 5: So let's talk about this group that you call it defense.

139
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: There have been a lot of names that a lot

140
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 2: of people naturally have been saying about your defense. I mean,

141
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: it's been incredible to hear the response. And Will said

142
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: something was funny because when you and I were doing

143
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: our postgame interview, Will and Disease were on with Scott

144
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: Van Pelt on the TV, and I looked and one

145
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: of the questions I heard later was Will Answering saying,

146
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: don't worry, coach Saban, We're not taking the rat put

147
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 2: because everybody is telling you, coach, you guys are great.

148
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 2: This defense is great. It's transcendent, it is generational. How

149
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: do you make sure they come back centered to the

150
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: techniques and the fundamentals that they don't lose that part

151
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: of it?

152
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 6: Yeah?

153
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 4: They And that's one thing I never allow guys to

154
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 4: just get too big headed.

155
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 6: In my mind.

156
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: It's like everybody now is pumping you up, telling you

157
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: how great you are, and but to me, it all

158
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 4: goes back to man hoil locked in. Are you gonna be?

159
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 4: How are you executing it? One play at a time,

160
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 4: And that's all our focus needs to be on. That

161
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 4: doesn't matter about a great defense and who's telling you

162
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 4: you're great. You have to go out and show it

163
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 4: every single snap and is again this week. You got

164
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 4: to go put it on tape again this week that

165
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 4: if you think you're that way and people say, it

166
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 4: really doesn't matter, just go play how we play. All

167
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 4: the talk, all that stuff, it doesn't matter. It is

168
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 4: rad poison. Will don't listen to it.

169
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 6: It does not matter. Let's just keep playing good football.

170
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 8: Yep.

171
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: Rogers got rid of the ball very quickly, that was evident.

172
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 3: And your tackling was really good, holding whatever games he

173
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 3: would get to minimal games or as minimal as possible,

174
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 3: so you could force those third down situations. How did

175
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: you see it, coach, because you got that part of

176
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: it done now.

177
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 4: It started with just what we emphasized throughout the week,

178
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 4: Like that was the emphasis from you started watching the

179
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 4: film versus the Steelers. You saw the ball was coming

180
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 4: out quick, He's getting the ball to Warren, getting the

181
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 4: ball a game well, and they made a lot of

182
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: guys mistackled. So our emphasis was, hey, we have to

183
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 4: be on these guys. We have to be sticky and

184
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 4: we have to tackle well. And then you throw Petrie

185
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 4: out there. He is just a tackling machine, Kamari tackling machine.

186
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 4: Thought Henry and a zz like, our second level guys

187
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 4: did an outstanding job of the first man being there

188
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 4: just securing the tackle. It wasn't out of control. Guys

189
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 4: were under control imposition. They did a great job of

190
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 4: wrapping the ball carry up, not allowing leaky yard exactly

191
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 4: how you want to get it done.

192
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 6: If you want to be a really good tackling how do.

193
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: You coach these guys to face Rogers when he stands

194
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: up at the line of scrimmage. We talked about this

195
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: a bit last week and now you can tell us

196
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: and he says a lot of stuff at the line

197
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 3: of scrimmage, and the guys can't take the bait on it,

198
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: whatever they think it might be.

199
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 8: How do you go about that, coach.

200
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 4: And you really have to just focus on just doing

201
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 4: your job. It's easy to get caught up in like

202
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: when a quarterback espebably some of the older quarterbacks, they

203
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 4: get up to the line of scrimmage and they want

204
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 4: to orchestrate the offense. Hey, you run this route, you

205
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 4: do this well? You Sometimes a player is you're eager

206
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 4: to like, oh I heard him say yellow or something,

207
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 4: and this means he's gonna run this route.

208
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 6: Like.

209
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 4: You have to just make sure you don't guess in

210
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 4: the moment, and that's where a lot of guys end

211
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 4: up putting themselves in a bad position. Oh he said

212
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 4: this last time, and they ran this place, so I'm

213
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 4: gonna overplay that.

214
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 7: Well.

215
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 6: He was just setting you up, you know, for the

216
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 6: okie do get it.

217
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 4: Got So you gotta make sure you remain focused just

218
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 4: on your job, playing your assignment exactly how you're supposed

219
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 4: to play it, no matter what the quarterback is saying,

220
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 4: no matter what you think you heard him say, just

221
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 4: do your job the right way. And our guys remain

222
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 4: calm no matter what's happening at the line of scrimmage,

223
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 4: they remain calm. Nobody guessed to play. Everybody just did

224
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 4: what they had to do.

225
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 6: Coach.

226
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 2: When I got on the plane last night, for some reason,

227
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: the Bills game popped into my head, and I know

228
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 2: why it was for this reason, and that Bills game,

229
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: they get that first drive and then James Cook hits

230
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: that run against us. Then from that point forward we

231
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: basically shut them down. And I thought about that last night,

232
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: because they did hit a few jabs early on, they

233
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 2: had DK on that little boot.

234
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,599
Speaker 5: Then Warren had a couple of cutback runs.

235
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 6: What is it.

236
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: About the way you guys play that you don't panic, like,

237
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: all right, James Cook got one on us.

238
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 5: How do you reset and make sure that that.

239
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: Doesn't snowball into something for the defense later on? Because

240
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: after they did that, sacked Josh eight times and picked

241
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: him off a couple times and another turnover. Last night

242
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: they got a few early and after that they basically

243
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: got nothing other than what they got after the turnovers.

244
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 4: Hey, it really boils down to the players, like they know,

245
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 4: everybody knows who made the mistake. And you don't want

246
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 4: to come back to the sideline and be that guy

247
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 4: right who allowed to play to get out because you

248
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 4: were the guy who was not locked in, who didn't

249
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 4: do his job the right way.

250
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 6: And now it's like, okay, we let one get out.

251
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 4: Everybody starts to buckle down a little bit tighter, right,

252
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 4: And it's just that ownership piece is that you know,

253
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 4: it's those brothers just holding each other accountable, right, And

254
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 4: that's why that was what makes a really good team.

255
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 4: Guys holding each other accountable. I don't want to let

256
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 4: you down. And when you have that going, that's the

257
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 4: makings of a really good detail coach.

258
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: Let's talk about CJ for a moment. Had the turnovers

259
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: and made some throws throughout the course of the first

260
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 3: three quarters, but that drive that started late in the

261
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: third quarter, it was a field goal drive from that

262
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 3: drive on He's four for six for ninety five yards,

263
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 3: gets locked in, hits Kirk for a couple of big plays,

264
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 3: and he shakes off whatever was happening. How important was

265
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 3: that and can you talk about his performance?

266
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 6: Yeah? I thought that was huge just in the moment.

267
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: Right, you know, you can have some bad you have

268
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 4: bad plays, right, you have bad plays, But always say,

269
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 4: for guys, don't let that one bad play become another

270
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 4: bad play.

271
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 6: So don't dwell on that first bad play.

272
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, I shouldn't have Like you have to

273
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 4: put to the side. You have to move on and

274
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 4: forget it. And you know you would like that to

275
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 4: happen a little sooner. A couple bad players happen, But man,

276
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: how you finish? Like that's the resiliency piece that we

277
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 4: talk about, is about finishing the right way, And I

278
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 4: thought CJ did a remarkable job of that. Like, yeah,

279
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: of course he doesn't want to drop the ball, he

280
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: didn't want to make those mistakes. But the way he

281
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 4: bounced back and the way he closed the game out,

282
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 4: that's what we need it.

283
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 6: When we needed him most to step up and make throws.

284
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 4: He makes those throws there late in the game to

285
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 4: put us in position to go score.

286
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 3: We see a lot of teams hold up the four

287
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 3: fingers when you hit the fourth quarter. We've seen that

288
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: throughout the course of football history. But with the Texans

289
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: this year and maybe the first couple of years as well,

290
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: but especially this year, it feels like there's this widespread

291
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: belief that it will get done. There's no question about it.

292
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 3: It will get done in the fourth quarter. You've won

293
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: ten games in a row, now.

294
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel that belief and it's strown like I

295
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 4: feel the faith in our guys. I feel the confidence

296
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 4: in that fourth quarter is like, here we go. However,

297
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 4: we have to get it done. It's offense, defense, and specialty.

298
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 4: Whoever needs it needs to make the play. However, we

299
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 4: need to make it like somebody's gonna stand up and

300
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 4: make that play. And that's the confidence I feel from

301
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 4: our sideline. Once we hit that fourth quarter, it's like,

302
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 4: all right, here we go, man, We've been here before.

303
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 6: Who's it gonna be this time? Yeah? And you never know.

304
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 6: And then we go on this past.

305
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 4: Game and we have an unbelievable you know, fourth quarter finis,

306
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 4: which is what we needed to kind of run away

307
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 4: with the game.

308
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: Coach it might be my fatal flaw, but I have

309
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: I love players coaches that have some sort of adversity

310
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: that they've got to get through or they get passed,

311
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: and they get past it and then they shine. And

312
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: Christian Kirk, I think is a great example of that

313
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: because early season he's banged up, middle season kind of

314
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: banged up. I know he didn't, you know, come here

315
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: to Houston thinking he was gonna have a certain number

316
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: of receptions, thought he would probably be more impactful, I'm sure,

317
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: but yet he never stopped playing. He kept competing, and

318
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: then last night when we needed him the most, eight

319
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 2: for one point four. I think you said in locker

320
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: room it was the you know, the best receiver performance

321
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: for the Texans in the playoffs. What does it say

322
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 2: about Christian that he has that game in that big

323
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 2: a moment, even though the season may not have been

324
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: what he wanted, that he rose up last night when

325
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: we really needed him.

326
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 4: Man, I'm so happy for Christian just because the thing

327
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 4: is what I think everybody can learn a lesson from him.

328
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 4: It's like he shows up every day. I was standing attitude,

329
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 4: smile on his face, hard.

330
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 6: Work, and he's not a guy.

331
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 9: Man.

332
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 4: He could be complaining like oh, I'm not getting the

333
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 4: ball enough or I'm open. Never a word, yeah yeah,

334
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 4: always still uplifting, helping the young guys, helping the young

335
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 4: receivers with anything that they need, and just staying the course.

336
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 4: And for a guy who, like you said, he could

337
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 4: be upset, like, oh, this season didn't go the way

338
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 4: I wanted to go. But here's a guy who right

339
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 4: now in Texans playoff history, has some men of his name,

340
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 4: has the top receiver, the most yards for a receiver

341
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 4: in Texas history. You just keep working, you keep your

342
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 4: head out, you keep working, you keep going about your

343
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 4: work with a positive attitude, and great things will come

344
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 4: for you.

345
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: So you got another defensive scorer too, all right, so

346
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 3: there's two there. You saw last year pick six, the

347
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: year before two pick six is so what is that?

348
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 3: Five defensive scores wild card round. So that's pretty good

349
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 3: stuff right there, coach. And then I think about big

350
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 3: guy touchdowns. Rankins has two this year, you got Tommy

351
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: in the Colts game. You think about Barnett two last year.

352
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: It's crazy to see how often your defense scores. They

353
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 3: like that, and it seems to rally the whole team

354
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: at all three phases really get up.

355
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 6: The whole team loves it. Man.

356
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 4: Now can we move that from to the division round?

357
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 4: Can we get some scores? No, it's always fun, man.

358
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 4: You talk about we spend so much time speaking about

359
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 4: attacking the football, taking the football away and the impact

360
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 4: it has on games, especially in the playoffs, Like well,

361
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 4: anytime you get a defensive touchdown, your percentage of winning

362
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 4: it goes through the roof. And so just to see

363
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 4: the excitement to see our guys really figure out how

364
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 4: to go score. Sometimes guys get the ball and they

365
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 4: try to run to the other sideline.

366
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 6: Our guys are doing.

367
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 4: A great job man, rankings for him to get in

368
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 4: and find find the ball and come at us like

369
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 4: outstanding and play by him kling.

370
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 6: Not just staying down. Everybody's on the sidelines.

371
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 4: Like at that point in the game, you know a

372
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 4: lot of peoples like, oh, just get down and get

373
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 4: everybody including me, it's like, go score. So it was

374
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 4: a really fun moment for our entire team.

375
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 2: Coach, we talked about this a bunch going into this game,

376
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: and it gets clear. We play inside on turf seventy

377
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: two degrees all time, kicking conditions, very clean, easy, you

378
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: go on the road at a in the cold too

379
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: bad but cold but natural surface that's been beaten up

380
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 2: where college NFL teams have been playing on that thing

381
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 2: all year long. You walk on before and you're like, man,

382
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 2: there's a dead spot. There's a dead spot, there's a

383
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: dead spot. Yet when it's seven to six, you decided

384
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 2: to have Emy go out there and knock one home

385
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: from what was it fifty one?

386
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 6: Yep?

387
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: Did you have any hesitation at all about kicking it

388
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 2: at that point, considering you're kicking into that river area,

389
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: that riverside where there's been some but then you nailed

390
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: it right right home. We were kind of your thought

391
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 2: process through that. How big was that for Emy to

392
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 2: make it?

393
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 6: Yeah?

394
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 4: Man, for what Amy has done all year, Like I

395
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,719
Speaker 4: have all the confidence in the world, and Emy he prepared.

396
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 4: He had a really good pregame session going through it,

397
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 4: and so there was no doubt in my mind, like, hey,

398
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: we get in rains, let's go Emy, let's put it through. Man,

399
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 4: you can you know, oh do we go for be aggressive?

400
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 4: I saw a lot of teams over over the course

401
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 4: of the weekend and being ultra aggressive, and for me,

402
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 4: I was just saying I was watching those games, like, man,

403
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 4: let's take the if we get into striking distance and

404
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 4: the third down doesn't go, well, let's just take the

405
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 4: points and let's just keep playing. Let's see what happens.

406
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 4: But they didn't want to come out being aggressive too early.

407
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 4: And Amy has done a great job all year.

408
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 7: Guy.

409
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 4: We had one of the best kickers in the league.

410
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 4: And it's a guy that we can rely on. So

411
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 4: we're gonna use him coach.

412
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 3: Now, you go to Foxborough before we talk about the

413
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 3: team itself. This is a strange trip in the NFL.

414
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 3: There's nothing quite like it. Maybe Green Bay, where you

415
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 3: stay so far away from the stadium, it's always going

416
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 3: to be some kind of bus ride and it's just

417
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: kind of weird going there. But the fact that you

418
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: did it last year, and I know the group is

419
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 3: a little bit different, but that has to help it away.

420
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 3: I know it's a different team, but you know the environment.

421
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 3: If you will, you know what's gonna go on travel wise.

422
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, I do.

423
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 4: As soon as I start talking about the schedules, like,

424
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 4: oh yeah, this is the one where you know when

425
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 4: we fly in we fly in the providence. I think

426
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 4: in the hotel is pretty close to the airport, so

427
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 4: that's a short drive down.

428
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 6: Oh, but this is the one.

429
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 4: This is the one where we got the forty minute

430
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 4: bus ride to the stadium.

431
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 6: Right, It's like, yeah, this is the one. So been there,

432
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 6: done it.

433
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 4: Everybody, most of all the guys who were here last year,

434
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 4: we went through the same thing with the travel.

435
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 6: Uh, we're ready for it.

436
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 4: And I tell I'm telling guys this, Man, it doesn't

437
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 4: matter like people want to talk about a short week.

438
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 4: Oh you guys at the Monday night and it's not

439
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 4: fair if I you can always go back, Like man,

440
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 4: if I told you.

441
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 6: At training camp, Hey, we're gonna have.

442
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 4: To play a Monday night playoff game, you would win

443
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 4: and then you got a short week to go play

444
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 4: New England.

445
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 6: Let me sign you up for that. Yes, I'm ready

446
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 6: to go.

447
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 4: So, man, we're ready for the moment. Whatever it takes

448
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 4: to travel, it can get a little weird the web.

449
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter, like sign me up for playing football

450
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 4: in this time of year. We're still in in one

451
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 4: of the final four teams in the AFC. Our guys

452
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 4: are worked extremely hard for this moment. He's got to

453
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 4: go out and execute again and play good football.

454
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 6: Coach.

455
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of change one year to

456
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: the next for them, but having faced Drake and I

457
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 2: know you haven't gotten completely into the scouting report for them.

458
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 5: Just yet because we just got home.

459
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: Your thoughts about facing him last year going on into

460
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 2: this year and any progress from year one to year

461
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: two that we've just seen from Afar.

462
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 4: I think Ian, being a young quarterback, he's made a

463
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 4: ton of progress. And I think it starts just also

464
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 4: with with Josh McDaniels and how he calls the offense

465
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 4: for him, like he's a they have a very aggressive

466
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 4: passing attack. They're gonna take a lot of shots down field,

467
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 4: They're gonna set up a lot of trick plays, a

468
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 4: lot of different a lot of completely different scheme than

469
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 4: he had the previous year. Man, I think the young

470
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: quarterback has handled it really well, and when it's not

471
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 4: there on the deep shots, what he's done this year

472
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 4: that sets him apart. He's done a really nice job

473
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 4: of escaping the pocket he saw versus the Chargers, he

474
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 4: had a really big run to get them in in

475
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 4: scoring and scoring position.

476
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 6: So that's the thing where we have to do a

477
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 6: really great job of playing the deep ball.

478
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 4: Very well keeping the ball in front of us, and

479
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 4: we got to do a great job up front this week,

480
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 4: really not allowing him to escape, especially up the A

481
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 4: and B gaps where he gets out and he guts

482
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 4: a lot of teams, So we got to do a

483
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 4: great job. They're a little different from last week where

484
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 4: Rogers wasn't running as much.

485
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 6: Now you gotta flip the script a little bit.

486
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 4: You gotta be ready for a very athletic, mobile quarterback

487
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 4: who they'll and they try to throw.

488
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 6: Them a pass.

489
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 4: This past week he's ran zone reads, so a very

490
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 4: athletic guy who's done a really great job as young

491
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 4: quarterback and done a great job protecting the football too,

492
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 4: throwing a lot of touchdowns, not a lot of interceptions,

493
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 4: so that they have the kid playing really well.

494
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 3: What about their defense, coach like, they like to mix

495
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 3: it up a lot and confuse opposing off.

496
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 6: That's what they do. They call it. I call it

497
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 6: to mix it up crew.

498
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 4: They got a lot of different looks, a lot of

499
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 4: different press. They do a really great job of, you know,

500
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 4: keeping you keep you on your toes as in the offense,

501
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 4: and you don't know what's coming.

502
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 6: All the time.

503
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 4: So for us you just got to play the plays

504
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 4: out right. They're gonna surprise you with some pressures here

505
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 4: and there. We got to expect pressure any get it.

506
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 4: I mean, any given time it's a passing situation, we

507
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 4: have to expect pressure. We got to do a great

508
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 4: job picking it up and getting the football out on time.

509
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 6: But they have a really good run defense.

510
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 4: Milton Williams defensive tackle, the interior player, explosive, dynamic player

511
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 4: for them. I know they're happy to get him back.

512
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 4: He's on IR for a little bit, but they're happy

513
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 4: to get him back. And he's a he's a disruptive player,

514
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 4: and so we got to be able to handle their

515
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 4: two d tackles, Milton Williams and also Barmore.

516
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 6: They both do a really good job.

517
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 5: Coaches.

518
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: You and I we're we're talking in the UH after

519
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: the game. You looked up on ESPN and Mark actually

520
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 2: had a great picture of this. All the Texans fans,

521
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 2: most of them clad and red, kind of around the

522
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 2: stage and you know, Zi's and Will We're talking to

523
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: Scott van Pelt. I just watched that and I thought,

524
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: that's the coolest thing I've seen this. Many fans are

525
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 2: fans there in Pittsburgh. Did you kind of sense the

526
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 2: support that was there in the building for the Texans

527
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 2: And did you I don't know if you've seen that picture,

528
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: but those fans that were there around the down stages,

529
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: they were doing their their post game hit.

530
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 4: I haven't seen that picture, but I mean as soon

531
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 4: as we got to our hotel, you saw fans there.

532
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, wow, we do we got fans in

533
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 4: here in Pittsburgh. We were going to the stadium, we

534
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 4: got fans out. As we're getting on the bus, you

535
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 4: feel that support from our fans. And then as we're

536
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 4: driving in, of course you got stealers everywhere. But then

537
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 4: as we were driving through the stadium and there was

538
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 4: just one pocket, yes to our right. Yes, it was

539
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 4: just full of a sea of red, full of Texas people.

540
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 4: And that's just it just warmed my heart to see

541
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 4: how many Texans fans showed up. And I mean they

542
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 4: showed up, and they showed their support as we were

543
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 4: going through coming out the tunnel as well. And it's

544
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,679

639
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 5: I mean, there's so many different things, but I feel

640
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,720

642
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,840

643
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 2: getting one here, how's that feeling.

644
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,399

645
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 4: get the first playoff win on the road for the Texans.

646
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 4: I'm proud of our team for accomplishing that. And there

647
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 4: are a lot of firsts to be made here and

648
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 4: that's what we want to do. We want to be

649
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 4: the group to you know, take this team to new heights.

650
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 4: And I'm proud of this was a great start, you know,

651
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 4: to the playoffs for this year, getting a great win

652
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 4: versus a really good team and a tough environment. Proud

653
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 4: of how the guys and finished the day.

654
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: It felt like they got a couple jabs in early hit,

655
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 2: a couple of runs, looked like they were trying to

656
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 2: cut things back, and then it was like your defense

657
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: went to a different level. Was there a particular moment

658
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: or something that just set them off or was it

659
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: just kind of unlocking what they were doing offensively at

660
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: that point?

661
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was really our guys just remaining locked in,

662
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 4: Like all right, when.

663
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 6: Our guys play the right way, they are locked in.

664
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 4: All eleven guys are on the same page, especially in

665
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 4: our coverage. That's what I'm most probab Our guys play

666
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 4: really great in the coverage aspect of the game and

667
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 4: allowed the d line just to get a little bit

668
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 4: more time, and when they got the time, they really

669
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 4: rattled the quarterback, which is what we needed.

670
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 6: Yeah.

671
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And I mean you lost a turnover game, which

672
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 2: I know if you and I before the game talked

673
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: to you like, way we gotta win turnover battle.

674
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 6: You didn't.

675
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: But the turnovers you did get you ended up taking

676
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: them back for six. So talk about the rankings play

677
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 2: that touchdown. It's ten to six at that point, Kaymi

678
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 2: hits a big field goal and then Will gets the sack,

679
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: but rank has a great rush takes in the end zone.

680
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 5: What are you guys thinking at that point?

681
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 6: Oo when big sigh of relief. We needed that.

682
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 4: I was like I wanted to get a lead and

683
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 4: that did it for us, right, And because I felt

684
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 4: like they you know, of course they weren't driving the

685
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 4: ball a lot on us that we were getting off

686
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 4: on third downs. Just wanted a little bit more cushion

687
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 4: on the scoreboard. And Rankings did provided that for us

688
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 4: at a crucial time in the game. Man, that broke

689
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 4: it open and we needed we needed that needed a

690
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 4: little breathing room.

691
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 6: He gave it to us.

692
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 5: It's seventeen six that moment.

693
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: Then you guys get the ball back and then you

694
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 2: decide at that point to just physically just end the

695
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 2: game right there with that offensive drive. What are you

696
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: running in the end zone but you're watching that take place?

697
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: What are you thinking at that point about what the

698
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 2: offense is doing.

699
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 4: I thought they did it early in the game, right

700
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 4: and I wanted to stay with the run because I

701
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 4: saw how all offensive line was coming off the ball,

702
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 4: saw how we were really physically getting after them. So

703
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 4: I felt like, you know, we could definitely milk the clock.

704
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 4: We can run the ball on these guys playing Our

705
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 4: guys were playing fields glove front, and it showed that

706
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 4: right there. I mean, they knew we were running it.

707
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 4: We knew we were running it, and we're still able

708
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 4: to gain yards. Woody Chubb, both guys did a fantastic

709
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 4: job protecting the ball in that moment and getting critical

710
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 4: first downs.

711
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 5: A guy who stepped up tonight.

712
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: You in fact, talked after the to the team, Christian

713
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 2: Kirk making big play after big play.

714
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 6: Nico.

715
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 2: Even before he go went out, Christian was a guy

716
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 2: making big plays for you tonight, coach Man Christian Wow.

717
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, we knew what he was capable of doing.

718
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 4: Thought when we needed it most, man, he stepped up

719
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 4: and had some huge explosive plays for us. CJ did

720
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 4: a great job keeping his eyes down field, finding them

721
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 4: on some passes, really great touch accuracy on those passes.

722
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 4: And c K was huge for especially losing Nico. We

723
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 4: needed someone to step up and he did that. One

724
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 4: of the best playoff the best playoff game by her

725
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 4: receiver in Texas history, and we needed it from him.

726
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 4: And man, I'm so happy for him to have that

727
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 4: moment for the Texans.

728
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 2: All right, true week then we go to New England.

729
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: I know you don't even to think about that, so

730
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 2: I won't even ask you about that. Congratulations coach. Hell

731
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 2: of a win on the road. Great performance.

732
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 6: Thanks free times now, thank you, Bud enjoyed it.

733
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: A guy that epitomizes everything you want this to be about.

734
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 2: Is Sheldon Rankins sack and a half to lead the

735
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: Texans in sacks at four of them. He gets a

736
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: sack and a half, he gets the scoop and score

737
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: touchdown and on that play, if you haven't seen it.

738
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: You've got to see his pass rush. His pass rush

739
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 2: is unbelievable. He puts Isaac Samuala on his wallet. It

740
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 2: is unbelievable. And then as he's put him on his wallet,

741
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 2: he launches to go get Aaron Rodgers. I mean, these

742
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: guys just absolutely hunt. Here is Shelter Rankins with me

743
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 2: in the locker room after the game, Shed.

744
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 5: Rankins, how does this one feel?

745
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 10: My man? Amazing coming to a place like this, get

746
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 10: a win like this in this fashion, especially while we

747
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 10: played in that second half, continuing to elevate, continuing to

748
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 10: keep our foot on on the gas.

749
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 6: This beautif, it's beautiful.

750
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 9: They hit you guys with some jabs early, but you

751
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 9: guys kind of withstood that, and the whole.

752
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 6: A sudden, you.

753
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: Guys took again.

754
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 6: To a different level.

755
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 9: What was the turning point to take it to that

756
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 9: different level?

757
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, I just think it's just the resiliency of this group. Man.

758
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 10: I think, Uh, we understood when Aaron Rodgers leading the charge,

759
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 10: veteran guy understanding how to win. Uh, they were gonna

760
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 10: hit us with some stuff. They were gonna make players.

761
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 10: They're a talented team there here for a reason. But

762
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 10: we understood man, if we just stand in the fight,

763
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 10: keep punching, keep punching, we don't think anybody can standing

764
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 10: there with.

765
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 6: Us in fourth quarters.

766
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 9: Okay, I was watching you. I had my eyes and

767
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 9: fixed on you on the touchdown. Tell me what happened before,

768
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 9: because your rush.

769
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: Was what got you back there to Rogers.

770
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 9: Tell me about that bull rush.

771
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, so you know it's it's it's it's kind of

772
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 10: part of our our DNA are our thrash rushes. So

773
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 10: I'm kind of stepping over there. I see, I got

774
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 10: the man protection.

775
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 6: I just kind of dialed up. He kind of got me.

776
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 10: On a on a similar rush couple drop before, so

777
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 10: I knew I kind of had to really get into it.

778
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 10: So once I felt his body leave my hands and

779
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 10: at that point he's get to the quarterback I.

780
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 6: Saw will knock the ball out.

781
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 10: At that point, I'm thinking, man, make him play for

782
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 10: our team. See the ball stupid.

783
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 6: And let the letters doesn't take over.

784
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, man, because you're running into that.

785
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 6: End zone, what was that like?

786
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean, now you've been at the end zone twice

787
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: this year. They need your on offense. What was that life?

788
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: As you got the ball and your whole ass.

789
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 6: For the enzone. Man, it's beautiful.

790
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 10: I think I'm only hearing my breath because I'm so tired.

791
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 10: But when I get to the sideline, Deniko ardre ashally

792
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 10: told me he was like, brag got so quiet in

793
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 10: here when you scored that sohother He like it was

794
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 10: so awkwardly quiet. So I think, man, just being able

795
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 10: to come up with that play bar team and kind

796
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 10: of spearhead the rest of the the onslaught we had

797
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 10: throughout the rest of the game.

798
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 6: Man, I'm just proud to be able to do that.

799
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 6: I know if you know that, Sheldon.

800
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 9: But this team had gone on the road in a

801
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 9: playoff game. Ever, this is the first one. What does

802
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 9: it mean to have it happen in this building when.

803
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 6: These fans were.

804
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 1: Jacked up to the point they were tonight.

805
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 6: I just think it speaks to who our team is.

806
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 10: Right, you put the ball out anywhere that matter. If

807
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 10: it's in Houston, no matter, if it's on the road,

808
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 10: a parking lot, doesn't matter.

809
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 11: Alright.

810
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 6: If we get us chance to play football, we're.

811
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 10: Gonna take our chance to beat the hell out of

Speaker 6: Spot the ball.

814
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 9: Let's play next to New England. We can think about

815
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 9: that when we get home. Sheldy congratulates this man.

Speaker 8: It feels great.

832
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 13: You know, we were able to come down in a

833
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 13: hostile environment. That's a good team and a great organization.

834
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 13: It's hard to win down here, so I just really

835
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 13: proud of the guys, you know, able to weather the

836
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 13: storm and we're able to to walk out of here

837
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 13: with the win and move on to the next round.

838
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 8: Hey, what was it tonight? Man?

839
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,480

840
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 14: that old school Christian Kirk out, Man, I know it's

841
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 14: been kind of a hit or miss season for you,

842
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 14: and this is a hell of a time to go

843
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,360

00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 13: Yeah, sure, I mean I think it's just, uh, you know,

847
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 13: it's provided you know a lot of opportunities, you know,

848
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 13: more than than normal, and uh, you know, they presented

849
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,959
Speaker 13: us some looks, some third down and even some early

850
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 13: down stuff where you know, we had some man coverage

851
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 13: and allowed me to uh, you know, go out there

852
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 13: and and be able to separate from man coverage and

853
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 13: c J obviously, uh, you know, did a great job,

854
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 13: you know, going through his reads, going through his progression

855
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 13: and just give me opportunities. And I said, just just

856
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 13: you know, really happy to be a part of this team,

857
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 13: in this organization, and glad that I was able to

858
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 13: have a part in us when the game tonight.

859
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 12: Yeah, Christian Kirk joining us here on Texans Radio on

860
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 12: Texans post game thirty to six. The final score. Look,

861
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 12: you scored the touchdown to get the scoring going. I

862
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 12: think the biggest play of that game. Was that nearly

863
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 12: fifty yard catch that you had on third and long.

864
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 12: Can you take us through that play?

865
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a you know, it's a third down and

866
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 13: ten plus play, one that we've had up in a

867
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 13: couple of games this year. We've ran it a few times.

868
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 13: There's there's you know, obviously different options depending on you know.

869
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 8: What the defense gives you.

870
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 13: And we had we got a post safety look and

871
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 13: he had some man covers and you know, like I said,

872
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 13: CJ was able to step up in the pocket and

873
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 13: you know, just allow me to run under one. But yeah,

874
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 13: play that we practiced all week and glad we were

875
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 13: able to execute and hit it in a crucial moment.

876
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 14: Hey, man, can can you take us and all our listeners, man,

877
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 14: all the fans down to the field today?

878
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 8: In that hostile environment you mentioned?

879
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 14: Man, it's it's that's one of the toughest places to

880
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 14: play on the road in Pittsburgh at night in prime

881
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 14: time with that cold weather. I mean a little bit

882
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 14: about the weather, the environment, the the the how loud

883
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 14: it was all that, I know, it was.

884
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 8: It was tough. Uh, it was tough sledding there.

885
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, it's definitely one of the best football

886
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 13: atmospheres I think we got in the NFL. This town

887
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 13: loves football, and uh, they definitely showed up tonight. They

888
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 13: were allowed and uh, you know, these are the type

889
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 13: of games that you know, when you're growing up as

890
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 13: a kid and you know you're watching the NFL, you

891
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 13: see games and environments like this, and it's hard not

892
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 13: to get excited about these. And so, you know, it

893
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 13: was it was cold, and we all knew that it

894
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 13: was going to be cold. But you know, I think

895
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 13: it just starts with the physicality piece. And you know,

896
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 13: we always prided ourselves something physical and I thought we

897
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 13: did a great job of you know, doing that. And yeah,

898
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 13: it was a it was a great environment. Like I said,

899
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 13: it's it's always feels better when you leave.

900
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 6: But the win, yeah, no doubt about it.

901
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 12: Christian Kirk, Texans wide receiver, joining us on Texans post game.

902
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 12: Hey Christian, what's it like as an offensive player on

903
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 12: the sidelines watching your defense do what it does, especially

904
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 12: in the fourth quarter tonight?

905
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 13: All Right, It's amazing what they're able to do and

906
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 13: what they've done all year. Uh, you never feel like

907
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 13: you're out of it, especially you know when we're hit

908
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 13: a little bit of a law offensively. Uh, we know

909
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 13: those guys are going to go out there and give

910
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 13: us another opportunity, and uh, they did a great job,

911
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 13: made our job a little bit easier after the turnovers

912
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 13: by just go ahead and scoring themselves. But you know,

913
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 13: those guys, they bring it every single snappen.

914
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 8: On their team.

915
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 14: Christian, I I hate to see it happen tonight, and

916
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 14: and uh, I hate to see that the potentially I

917
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 14: don't want to speculate, but but we could miss Nico

918
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 14: for a week or so. But but just the dynamic

919
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 14: of your role on this offense. If Nico is not

920
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 14: on the field like he was tonight, how does that

921
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 14: change things?

922
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 8: Do y'all just business as usual? Or is that? Are

923
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 8: you aware of that and turn things up a not?

924
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 13: You know, I think that's that's out of my control.

925
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 10: You know.

926
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 13: Obviously the coaches will, you know, go and they'll come

927
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 13: up with their game plan and you'll see how they

928
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 13: want to attack New England. Obviously, Nico is a big

929
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 13: part of what we do. A great player, and you know,

930
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 13: we'll definitely miss him if that's the case. But I

931
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 13: think we've done a great job as a unit in

932
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 13: moments when we haven't had everybody out there, of everybody

933
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 13: just kind of stepping up in those moments and making

934
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 13: the plays that we needed to have been made.

935
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 12: Christian Kirk joining us. Hey, Christian, last one before we

936
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 12: get you out of here. When CJ Is is having

937
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 12: the struggles he has, and I there were some plays

938
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 12: he had he looked amazing tonight, a lot of them

939
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,640

981
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 2: of my favorite plays and the key plays from this game.

982
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,279

983
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 3: CJ. Stepnick Ott. There's pressure, he guns long down lookside

984
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 3: and Kirk.

985
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 15: With a tithing contempt and he's got that catch across

986
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,120

988
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 7: Way excellent catch by Christian Kirk, gets behind I think

989
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:11,720

990
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 7: to reel it in and that's that's a big, big

991
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 7: throw and catch for this Texans offense.

992
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,439
