I'm Mark vander Mayer Joint tonight by John Harris. 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,119 Speaker 1: I'm in the driver's seat. You're riding shotgun. You have 6 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: to put up with my lousy driving. By the way, No, 7 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I've always I've always told you this. 8 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: When you and I do radio sometimes Monday, Onesday, Friday, 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: I mean it's don't get me wrong. I love being 10 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: in the radio with you, but I love for you 11 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: to be Chris Paul. I mean be James Harden, you 12 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: know what I mean. Yeah, you want to shoot rock. 13 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: It's that's what you're want to shoot the rock. But 14 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: I like playing off the ball a little bit better. Yeah, 15 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: but me being Chris Paul, Chris Paul sometimes likes to 16 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: shoot it a lot too. You do, and you do 17 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: a great job, but then we've got a flip pop 18 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: and then sometimes which is funny because when I play basketball, 19 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: I play not even like Chris Paul. I played a 20 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: little bit more like Rayjeon Rondo. I couldn't care less 21 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: if I score, Like when we went to Cincinnati. We 22 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: went to Cincinnati and we played that Thursday. They still 23 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: fill up the rim. No mind, I'm not Ray Jean Rondo. 24 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: You're Stefan Marbury. You're that way more so. You know, 25 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: it's funny because like one time when I was at 26 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: you Mask, the ABC affiliate ate there did a feature 27 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: on me which was which was nice, and I've gotten 28 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: somewhere on like VHS. Still I need to transfer that. 29 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: And Jack Leeman, who I've told you about before, hears 30 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: the coach at you Mask back in the day with 31 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: Doctor Jay and Ripettino anyway, and he's this old Boston guy. 32 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: And the guy doing the feature said, isn't vandomer kind 33 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: of like a point guard because he's got you. We 34 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: had a three man booth and he's got Tony Barbie 35 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: who was doing the games with us at the time. 36 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: And and Jack said, point guard. He's like one of 37 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: those point guards who shoots the ball a lot, you know, 38 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 1: so you had to be there, but it was kind 39 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: of funny. That's when you are when you're when you're 40 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: iverson like Iver said, Okay, you're scoring you're dishing. You 41 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: know you're you are kind of like Harden though you 42 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: get a lot of assists, get a lot of baskets. 43 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: When I play real basketball, I love. I don't like 44 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: to shoot because I don't work on shooting as much, 45 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: but I could. I could see everything on the floor. 46 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: I get the ball, the people that can shoot like 47 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: you and all of our guys. And by the way, 48 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna we have to take our show in the road. 49 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: We gotta we gotta find. We gotta find, whether it's 50 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: the scouts or coaches. We gotta see you come up 51 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: on an off date to the summit and take us 52 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: all at the Greenbrier. Yeah, our legendary, legendary in our 53 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: own minds of coursketball games. That's all that matters, right, 54 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: That's all that matters. And speaking of basketball, Jeff Van 55 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: Gundy's gonna be on the Vandermeer's View podcast this week. 56 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: He's scheduled to appear. I should say, yeah, Jeff is 57 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: gonna come in here. He's a season ticket member and 58 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: he's been so for a long time and he's a 59 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: big Texans fan. So we're gonna talk football with Jeff 60 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: Van Gundy. How about that, and I'm sure basketball will 61 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: come up in the conversation and the differences between the 62 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: two sports and that kind of thing. It's gonna be 63 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: fun to catch up with Jeff and you I mentioned 64 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: his name previously and you said Stan or Jeff because 65 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: I mentioned the last name Van Gun. Yeah, I know. 66 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: But it's funny because like when I was at Miami, 67 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: Stan used to go to the Hurricanes baseball games a 68 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: lot with his kid, and that's when he was an 69 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: assistant with the Miami Heat under Pat Riley. Yeah, so 70 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: it was fun to actually meet him back then because 71 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: he was a listener of w QAM, the flagship of 72 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: the Hurricanes there and saw that's where I met him 73 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: for the first time. It was kind of fun. I 74 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: went to it. I had a dinner. Our buddy Lance 75 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: had put this dinner together where he brought in basically 76 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: all football guys and then Jeff Van Gundy and it 77 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: was six of us. It was Chris Ballard, who's a 78 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: gem with the Colts. Who was Alonzo Highsmith, who is 79 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: now what second in command in Cleveland Clan. Yeah, with 80 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: John Dorsey who he worked with in Green Bay. It 81 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: was also John Hook who was with the Texans at 82 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: the time, and there was me, it was Lance, and 83 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: then it was Jeff Van Gundy, and I remember I 84 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: remember Lance putting at dinner together and I thought, really like, 85 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: this is an interesting crew. It's like all football guys 86 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: gonna fit right, He goes, Johnny, you will, he said 87 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: Van GUNDI loves talking football. He was picking guy's brains 88 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: all night about the game of football. And of course 89 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: he told some tremendous stories. Yeah, great stories, and he 90 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: was so fun. I was sitting right next to him. 91 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: He was telling it. He was telling a story about 92 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: something happened with a player, and I'm literally falling out 93 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: of my chair and he's like grab, He's like, no, off, 94 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: telling you the truth. I was like, I know, that's 95 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: what makes it great. But he'll be great for a podcast. 96 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: You know. A couple of years ago, I took Vander 97 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: Kidd to a game at Rice because you know, it's 98 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: so great to go to the game at basketball game 99 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: at Rice or football for that matter, but you know, 100 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: you really get great seeds. You know, it's a small 101 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: building anyway, and up in the corners Van Gundy just 102 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: watching the game, you know, just checking it out, just 103 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: watching the game by himself. He lives in the neighborhood. Basically, 104 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: how many Texas games do you think he gets to? 105 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I would imagine once the 106 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: NBA season starts, not as many, but ABC and ESPA 107 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: the schedule is not as heavy in the fall out thing. 108 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: The Christmas Day game is kind of really when it 109 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: kicks off. Now, I think they're doing a lot of games, 110 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: but not as some before them. But not too many. Yeah, 111 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: not as many, but you know, it's just that kind 112 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: of thing. It's a long season, man, I feel like 113 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: the NFL season's too short. However, when I'm in it 114 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: and you're going through what you're going through last year, 115 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: it feels well. Last year felt especially long for obvious reasons, 116 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,239 Speaker 1: but still, I just feel like the wear and tear 117 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: when you work here in the building, and we've said 118 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: this from time to time, you see the wear and 119 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: tear on the players. You actually visualize it every day. 120 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: You see what they're going through. Guys limping around, Guys 121 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: have injuries, Guys are trying to rehab, Guys get here early. 122 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: They're meeting with Jeff Kaplan and Rolling Ramirez and we 123 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: see it from a different perspective, you know, and I 124 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: get it. You know, the fans are just you know, 125 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: listening to sports talk radio, reading whatever they're reading, and 126 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: on Sunday, they expect you to be ready, but they 127 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: know intellectually that they go through this whole process. But 128 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: we see them go through the whole process. Yeah, to 129 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: see guys shuffling from the locker room to sports Performance 130 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: Center and back and to the training room and back, 131 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: and some guys can barely walk at times, and You're like, Okay, 132 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: we're gonna play it on Sunday, And then they play 133 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: how is this guy gonna play? And then somehow magically 134 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: on Sunday. And I say magically, I put that in 135 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: air quotes because it's not magic. It's it's combinations of 136 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: what Jeff kaplan his staff do, the player getting ready, 137 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: the team obviously practicing later in the year and later 138 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: in the year. It's it's remarkable. I remember in twenty fourteen, 139 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: my first year in the building, and I had been 140 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: around I mean, obviously I had been around codege football teams, 141 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: having played with one and all that kind of stuff. 142 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: So I've seen guys, you know, this guy's got a 143 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: broken foot, but he's still trying to play, and you know, 144 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: it's seeing that kind of stuff. But seeing the players 145 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: late in the twenty fourteen season, my first in the building, 146 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: and on Monday in particular, or even Wednesday, like they 147 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: did win a game and they come in on Wednesday 148 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: and you could just see, I mean it would be 149 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: three days from that when they had played, and some 150 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: of them could barely barely move, barely walk, and I thought, man, 151 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: and then there they were on Sunday, ready to go 152 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: Sunday full board didn't have the worst play through. Oh. 153 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: I now it's called a shoulder separation, but at the 154 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: time it was called an AC joint, and I mean 155 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: that's what it is. It's a C joint, but they 156 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: called a shoulder separation back then, they called a sprained 157 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: ac joint. I sprang to AC joint on my shoulder. 158 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: I want to go make a tackle on a game 159 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: against I think it was against buck Nell, and I landed. 160 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: I landed on it, and I'd never felt pain like 161 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: that in my entire life. And so later in the year, 162 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: and I had also at the beginning of the year, 163 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: had had ripped up my hamstring. Luckily I didn't tear 164 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: it off the bone or anything like that. So I 165 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: was able to come back. But man, in the game, 166 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: I'm playing with that sprained ac joint. I can barely 167 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: move my left shoulder. I'm playing with a hamstring, could 168 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: barely cut on. But I'm like, you were not taking 169 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: me out a football game like I am playing because 170 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: I didn't get this. I didn't start, I was a 171 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: key backup. I didn't get a start, and I was starting. 172 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: I was playing. I was playing well, as like, you 173 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: are not taking me out of this lineup? Ye, not 174 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: at all. In that entire week leading up to that game, 175 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: I couldn't sleep because every time that I would land 176 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: on my shoulder, I would get this shooting pain through 177 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: my shoulder and I just would wake up almost screaming 178 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: and just doing everything I could to not wake up 179 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: my roommates, just screaming in pain, and so I couldn't 180 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: I couldn't sleep, And then I went out there and 181 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: had one of the best games I'd ever ever had. 182 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: A team we didn't play well, but I played pretty 183 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: well myself and so created more playing time for myself. 184 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: But I played with that shoulder and that hamstring for 185 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: probably for the rest of the season, which is probably 186 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: another five weeks. How does it feel now? Does it 187 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: flare up? It does now? And then yeah, when it 188 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: rains or something shoulder in particularly like if I like, 189 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: if I reach back for something kind of unknowingly and 190 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: I just kind of reached back with my left shoulder, 191 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: it'll it'll just Alsody'll just die. I mean, it'll'll reach 192 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: back and it'll pop and it'll be like oh, and 193 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: I would just feel that pain through there. But like 194 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: Nick Nulty in North Dallas forty yeah, boneset, and I 195 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: mean that's minimal with something. I mean some of these 196 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: guys that are playing with I mean, you know the 197 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: the you know JJ in twenty fifteen, play with that 198 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: big black ball cast. I was playing with the the 199 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: ab issue, core issue that he had. And I mean 200 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: seeing Clowney every single Sundays that year goes on, there's 201 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: like more tape on different body parts, like oh man, 202 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: his wrist is taped up, his ankles are taped up. 203 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: Oh he's got tape over. I mean, it's it's remarkable 204 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: to see what these guys go through and then are 205 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: able to plan on a Sunday. All right, A few 206 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: things I wanted to bring up and in no particular order. 207 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: You mentioned Clowney and I just visualized the smile that 208 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: he had when Deshaun Watson was a touchdown pass to 209 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: Will Fuller, and I sought up close and personal on film. Anyway, 210 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL film special that we aired on Sunday 211 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: night Seattle teen yeah against Seattle Yeah. And it'll reair, 212 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: by the way, Saturday night, eleven o'clock, ABC thirteen on 213 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: Texans three sixty. We will re air the NFL Films 214 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: Texans twenty seventeen special, which is all Watson. Basically, it's 215 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: a little Hurricane Harvey, and then Watson goes nuts for 216 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: six and a half games and then oh, by the way, 217 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: they went four and twelve and wait till next year. 218 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: But that's the special. So it's fun because you have 219 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: a lot of miked up stuff. You have Hopkins talking, 220 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: Watson talking, O'Brien talking, Clowney talking, and all the great 221 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: highlights of the year. So there's a lot of great 222 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: footage and Clowney's smile, you know, he's got that million 223 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: dollars smile when Watson's going nuts on several occasions. Actually, 224 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: but it's funny. We were doing the greatest plays in 225 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: franchise history, and this is not one of them. But 226 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: we talked about great plays in a loss, and man, 227 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: the Kansas City game and the Seattle game, in the 228 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: New England game, it's just it's amazing the level of 229 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: excitement we had in six and a half games. You know, 230 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: it's incredible. It was like that was the season and 231 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: it was that six game. Never mind the half because 232 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: that was the second half against Jacksonville, but that six 233 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: games stretch with Dashawn was one of the most enjoyable 234 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: stretches of Texans football ever. I mean, I'll put that 235 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: six games up against almost any Texans, almost any Texans season. 236 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: The amount of scoring. You know, you're looking at the 237 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: highlights and you're like, oh, I want to see these 238 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: Seattle highlights, and you almost forget that it was a 239 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: loss because right now, you know, a lot of water 240 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: has passed under the bridge, and it's still a painful loss. 241 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: But man, the excitement that passed fifty nine yards to 242 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: will Fuller. I want to get the metrics on this 243 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: because that might be the longest in the air pass 244 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: that the Texans have ever thrown. I thought about that. 245 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: I was it was funny as I was listening to you. 246 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: You turned the top ten plays into a podcast, and 247 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: so I listened to it the other day, and it 248 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: was really cool to hear you call the Billy Miller play. 249 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: Because a lot of the plays that I can go 250 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: back on, I can hear and I have heard because 251 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: I brought them up, but it only goes back so far. 252 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: So I don't know that I had ever heard that 253 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: your call of the touchow Billy Miller. Yeah, the Billy 254 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: Miller touchdown. So that was really cool. So I was 255 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: listening to podcasting, I got to thinking about all the 256 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: different top tens you could do, and I thought about 257 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,599 Speaker 1: deep plays, like long plays long because because yeah, and 258 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: I thought about top ten deep passes. I went, well, 259 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: are you a short list? How many? Man, how many 260 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: deep throws would be on there? And then I did. 261 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: Then I was like, fifty nine yards or to Will 262 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: the game against Kansas City, and I thought, man, there's 263 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: there's not a lot. I mean when you think it 264 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: was not a lot at all all right, So I 265 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: think there was a fifty nine or sixty yard or 266 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: to Andrey Johnson in the Denver game Week three, twenty twelve. 267 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: Job to Johnson but I think most of it. I 268 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: think it was like a forty yard pass or something 269 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: like that, and boy, I really need to watch it now. 270 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 1: But it wasn't like fifty fifty five yards in the 271 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: air right right, and that hot the Watson to Fuller 272 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: was at least sixty at least at least because he 273 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: was in the shotgun and then he stepped back and 274 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: then launched from their basic Yeah, and he landed at 275 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: the goal line, right in the end zone. So it 276 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: wasn't like he got it at the ten or fifteen 277 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: and ran in right. I believe it was like he 278 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: caught it right at the goal line. Yeah. And I 279 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: couldn't tell that, but I knew I was standing right 280 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: in the line with the Launa screamage. So when he 281 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: launched it, my eyes immediately went down field and I 282 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 1: saw Will and I was like, oh man, he's got him. 283 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: And then I think you and Nicole say he's got him. 284 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: But then I did the math later on, I went 285 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: to the one he threw that thing like sixty five 286 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: yards in the air, and he heaved it heaved, I 287 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: mean launched it. So osen Fells went fifty plus to 288 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: Andre Davis at the end of the Titans. Yeah, the 289 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: Bonus game. Yeah, the Baronus game at oh seven. That 290 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,719 Speaker 1: was a long pat that was probably Yeah, that was 291 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: pretty good. That's pretty good distance. Yeah, that was a 292 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 1: good distance. I was trying to think of some of 293 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: the other ones. And you know, NFL films captured that 294 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: really well. And then they capture Clowney on the sideline 295 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: from the cameras behind one, cameras behind him, and you 296 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: see the ball, you see the arc, and it's just 297 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: it's so it's so wonderful to me, it really is. 298 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: I mean, to watch a good deep ball to Throwton 299 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: Watson's arm strength is just insane. It's ridiculous. Come on, 300 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: I mean, he there's so many there. There are a 301 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: few nice things about that play. It's funny you brought 302 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: it up because if you watch, they have a camera 303 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: on Clowney and you could see me go running on 304 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: by because I gotta get down here for the extra point. 305 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: And I was like, I haven't had to do this ever, 306 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: for the most never had to go from one into 307 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: the field to the other end of the field to 308 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: see these guys celebrate, Like I've never had to do that. 309 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: But you can see me go running by when they 310 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: show Clowney, but he doesn't get that ball off if 311 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: at the last second Lamar Miller doesn't see Dwight Freeney. 312 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: Freeny's coming off the edge and he in Lamar sees 313 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: him and gets just enough, and Deshaun feels him, so 314 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: he moves up in a pocket and that kind of 315 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: gave him a little bit of a crow hop and 316 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: then he and then let it fly. And I just 317 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: remember seeing that ball in the air, like man, that 318 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: ball's throwing a long way, a long way. But it's 319 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: a more oppressive on TV though, when you see it 320 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: on TV and you see how just how long. And 321 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: I always compare every long throw that I've ever seen, 322 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: I compared to Cordell Stewart's Colorado versus Michigan throw, because 323 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: to me, I don't think any throw was ever farther 324 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: in the air than that one. That one in the 325 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: air was seventy five yards. No, it was seventy five yards. 326 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: I've gone back, I've counted it numerous times. It was 327 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: seventy five yards in the air. And I remember seeing 328 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: the highlight for the first time that thing is launched. 329 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: It is I mean, I'm watching the highlight, and I 330 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: remember the reason I remember this to this day. In 331 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four, Miami's playing Washington in the Orange Powl. 332 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: Miami's fifty eight game home winning street gets broken, and 333 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: at the time, regional games were taking place. So I'm 334 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: in Florida, so I'm getting the Miami Washington game. Well, 335 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: my parents are here getting the Michigan Colorado game, so 336 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: they're they're taping it for me so I can see it. 337 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: And then they pop up the highlight and they show 338 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: where the balls and I'm like, how they win this one? 339 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: And then I see Cordell throw the ball. That's that. 340 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: I compare everything to that that was in that room. 341 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: It wasn't as far, but it had that same feel. 342 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: Just seeing the majestic arc this parablet in here. It 343 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: was incredible to see and hopefully there'll be more of that. 344 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: And when the guy like will Fuller, who by the way, 345 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if you notice there's another there's another video, 346 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: another video of him working with Equanimius Saint Brown's dad, 347 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: John Brown, former bodybuilder, doing some twenty one guns gun 348 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: salute the curls. Will Fuller's gonna come in here all 349 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: jacked up. He's not gonna able to move. He's gonna 350 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: be like Hans and France. He just has to be 351 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: able to catch the ball and run by everybody. I 352 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: think he'll be able to do that, all right, John 353 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: Harris stays with us. I didn't forget about a couple 354 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: of other long passes you guys are thinking about, so 355 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: I'll refresh those. Plus a few weeks ago we talked 356 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: about the road games and how those might go down. 357 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: What about the home schedule. It is challenging, to say 358 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: the least, and it doesn't get started for quite a 359 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: while actually in the regular season. Anyway, it's Texans All Access, 360 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: Mark Vandermayer and John Harris with you tonight on Texans 361 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: All Access here from the Hyundai Texans Radio studio. Great 362 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: to have you along for the ride. All right, last segment, 363 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: we were talking about, among other things, long touchdown passes 364 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: in Texans history, like through the air, not just long receptions. 365 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: And now I have not forgotten about Arian Foster seventy 366 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: eight yard touchdown receptions. He had two of them in 367 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: two thousand and eleven, but those were catching runs. Yeah, 368 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: and I do remember this one though it was so 369 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 1: significant at the time. Week one, two thousand seven, because 370 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: it was playing it was one of the most beautiful plays. 371 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: It was just it was it was textbook Kubiak play action. 372 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: Guy gets wide acre opened in the secondary and Shob 373 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: just heaves Andrey Johnson the ball and he's got seventy 374 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: seven yards I think on that reception, and at the 375 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: time he had not had anything longer than say, fifty 376 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: six I think it was, or it was in the fifties. 377 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: That was his long career long reception. Week one with 378 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: Shab once they got a quarterback in here who could 379 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: throw the ball deep and you know, understood the system 380 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: and could operate it really well. Week one under Kubiak 381 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: with Shob anyway, that was Shob's first game as a Texan. 382 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: They go seventy seven yards and it was first touchdown pass. Yeah, 383 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: it was my it was my first game here. Oh yeah, 384 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: one play drive got the ball to twenty three one 385 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: seventy seven yards. That was my first That was my 386 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: first game here, right, seventy seventy seven yards exactly. Yeah, 387 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: that was Shop's first touchdowns. But I think that even landed, 388 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: I mean the landed in his arms at like the 389 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: thirty years. Yeah, he still had like twenty or twenty 390 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: five yards to run at that point, whereas will the 391 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: two the deep balls, all deep balls that Will caught 392 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: last year, we all caught in the end zone. It 393 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: wasn't as if he caught him about the twenty five 394 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: or twenty yard line and then ran it in which 395 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: I still want to see. I still want to see 396 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: him with the ball run away from somebody, but he's 397 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,479 Speaker 1: doing it before the ball even gets there. When he 398 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: did that against Seattle. Just in going back and we 399 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: did a film room, I believe on that play you 400 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: can see the moment when you know, oh he's got 401 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: these guys beat real and earl earl Thomas in the 402 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: middle of the field just hesitates for a split second 403 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: and that's it. Full of just runs buy him. And 404 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: it wasn't as if I mean it was a it 405 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: was a skinny post, and by skinny post, I mean 406 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: it was almost a straight line. But he went got 407 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: inside the corner and then realized Thomas was kind of 408 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: kind of hunkered down, and he just took off ran, 409 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: just took off and ran to a spot and DeShawn 410 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: threw it. If I remember correctly, Deshaun threw that ball 411 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: about a yard when Fuller was a yard or two 412 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: just beyond Thomas, Like he knew once he saw Thomas 413 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 1: kind of hunker down, he knew exactly where he wanted 414 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: to go. So how many touchdowns Fuller in four games? Seven? Seven? 415 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: I mean, that's ridiculous. And Andre They play Andre Ware's 416 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: comment in the NFL Film Special where he says, well, 417 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: this is becoming quite a combination. DeShawn Watson, the Will Fuller, 418 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: and then you're looking at Hopkins catching all these touchdowns 419 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: and you're thinking, well, wait a minute, we gotta we 420 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: have several combinations brewing here, Deshaun Watson throwing to whoever 421 00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: he wants to, and it's gonna be very prolific, that combination, 422 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: those combinations. It's interesting you bring up bring up dre 423 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: I saw. I saw Omar the other day and he 424 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: was like he was putting together he was putting together 425 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: essentially the script for NFL films. Each team kind of 426 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: puts together the script of how they they want to 427 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: come up with things, and they pull the radio calls. 428 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: And so Omar was listening to some of the radio 429 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: calls and he was like, man, y'all get so excited 430 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: to boot. Some of these calls, we can't even play. 431 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: And he was like the Clowney fummal return against New England. 432 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, when when you start describing Clowney to the 433 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: fifteen ten, you're dre in the background closing. Yeah, and 434 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: the crowd's going quiet because stunt. They're like, wait a minute, 435 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: No one's supposed to do exactly. You just you just 436 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: got somebody's arms around Tom Brady and got them. It's 437 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: illegal what you just did. No, it was perfect. That's 438 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: Tommy Brady and not supolished doing that to him. Oh 439 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: all right, let's do the home games here. A few 440 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: weeks ago we did the road games. Yeah, this is 441 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: the home games. And it's significant because you opened on 442 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: the road back to back, and we talked about the 443 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 1: difficulty of the Patriots and the Titans back to back 444 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: games away from NRG Stadium to begin the season. You 445 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: don't come home till till December. That would be something 446 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: September twenty third, September twenty three against the New York Giants, 447 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: and who knows how they might be. I love mcadow's 448 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: comments by the way on the Giants, very interesting. I 449 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: don't know who interviewed him, but he had a lot 450 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: to say, obviously about your team. Well, Peter King interviewed him. 451 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if those comments were all to Peter King, 452 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: but I know he's done a couple of interviews. Peter 453 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: King was one because Peter King's new new MMQB Football 454 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,239 Speaker 1: Night in America. Is that what it's called now, It's 455 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: something like that football Morning in the morning American football. 456 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: It was really good. I mean it was typical Peter 457 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: King stuff. I mean he had interviews with Aaron Rodgers. 458 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: He talked with Ben mcado basically Ben McAdoo for Peter 459 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: King wrote in his own words, it wasn't Peter King 460 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: writing an article. It was all from from Ben mcato. 461 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: It was very introspective. But I don't know who he 462 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: did the interview with. But boy, he does not like 463 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: Nate Solder. He thinks Eric Flowers is not very good. 464 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: He did not speak very well the NFC East, which 465 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I hope he's right. But he 466 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: also said that he backed up the Giants and not 467 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: taking a quarterback early like he backs up Eli even 468 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: though they had those issues last year. Well here they are, 469 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: They're gonna be at the Texans on September twenty third, 470 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: and I don't know what to expect out of the Giants. 471 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: I know, two years ago they were a playoff team 472 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: and last year they were terrible. The coach gets fired, 473 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: and here they are at NRG Stadium September twenty third. Look, 474 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,719 Speaker 1: you got Eli Manning. You know, it's funny because when 475 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: you went there in twenty fourteen at the Meadowlands, I 476 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: didn't think that much of the Giants then, right, And 477 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: I think that game, you know, every game's winnable, that 478 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: game slid out of control, you know, late in the 479 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: first half. We all remember what happened Ryan Fitzpatrick quarterbacking 480 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: was what week two or three of the Bill O'Brien 481 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: era was, ju had beaten Oh yeah, two Raiders and 482 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: the Redskins, right yeah, And then you go to the 483 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: Giants and you lose. That one could have played a 484 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: whole lot better. But I still think Eli Manning's just 485 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 1: such a hot and cold quarterback. He can get hot 486 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: and make life miserable for you. But in this building, 487 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: I like your chances to get some pressure on him. 488 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: And I do remember the last time he was here, 489 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: it was twenty ten. It was not pretty at all. 490 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: You went three and out your first defensive series, and 491 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 1: after that he just lit up the Texans. Obviously a 492 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: very different era, very different situation. Well at twenty ten 493 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 1: defense allowed a lot of quarterbacks have to light it up, 494 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: which is not something we need to expand upon. But 495 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: of all the teams that Texans will play, especially the 496 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: first half of the year, just thinking out loud, of 497 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: the teams that are going to face, I don't know 498 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: that they're gonna face a more talented group of skill guys, 499 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: wow than the Giants. You think about Odell Beckham Junior 500 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: being back, Yea, you got Sterling Shephard. You've got Evany 501 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: Ingram at tight end, who is going to be a monster. 502 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: He already is. He's a very difficult matchups. An article 503 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: yesterday about their talented stable of running backs like just 504 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: a harvest of a bounty of running backs that they 505 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, Jonathan Stewart and then Wayne Gallman who was 506 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: a teammate at sean back. They could hit you with those. 507 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: But again, Nate Soldier at left tackle, who last year 508 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: Whitney Merciless ran right around to get to Tom Brady. 509 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: Will Hernandez is a rookie at guard. Brett Jones if 510 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: he wins the job at center, nobody's heard of John 511 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: Jerry has been up and down for years, and then 512 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: you got Eric Flowers, who couldn't make it a left tackle. 513 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: You're gonna try and make a right tackle. So Eli, 514 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: if everybody's healthy going into that ball game, and then 515 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: buy it healthy. I mean all you know, the three 516 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: key guys, plus everybody up front, so they can run 517 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: a number of guys at Eli. He's the type that 518 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: if he's getting that pressure, he's gonna throw you one 519 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: or two. The problem in twenty fourteen was guy guys 520 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: couldn't get to him because at that point it was 521 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: just really it was just it was JJ and Whitney 522 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: really hadn't gotten to be Witn at that point, yea, 523 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: So it was really just JJ getting the quarterback and 524 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: they double teamed him, and he didn't get a lot 525 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: of He wasn't able to get pressure because they were 526 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: spending so much time, and I think he still had 527 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: a sacking a game. But that was the thing that 528 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: worried me about Eli back and fourteen because the two 529 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: games prior to he had done nothing. I think the 530 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: Giants were owned two heading in, and it was the 531 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: same thing. On the first drive. I believe the Texans 532 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: had slowed him down, and then the second drive he 533 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: started getting hottie at Victor Cruz on a crosser that 534 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: ended up going end zone. I remember thinking, dang it, 535 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: that's it. That's gonna give him what he needs to 536 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: kind of get going. But if you can get that 537 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: pressure on him, he's gonna throw you a couple and 538 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: you know where he's gonna be. He's not gonna move 539 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: around on you. It's not gonna be like the Sean. 540 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: You can rush past Eli and get back to him. 541 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: You can take some chances as a pass rusher because 542 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: Eli is not gonna hurt your running out of the pocket. 543 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: He might move up in a pocket a little bit 544 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: and that's fine, but he's not gonna he's not gonna 545 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: embarrass you leaving the pocket. But the skill guys, the 546 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: skill guys scare me. But if you can up front, 547 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: win that battle up front and win it significantly and 548 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 1: he doesn't have time to get the bat, all those guys, 549 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 1: I think, no matter what happens in the first two 550 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: games two and over, two, one and one people are 551 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: gonna be sky high for this absolutely, you know, I 552 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: mean even all when two you know it's not over 553 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: at all. You get to Sean Watson coming in here. 554 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun. And to that end, I think 555 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: of the first game last year, and it was funny 556 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: you talked We talked to with a bunch of players 557 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: after that game leading into the New England game, because 558 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 1: obviously going to New England we were a heavy underdog 559 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 1: going into that one. But I remember the players saying, 560 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 1: we're just going to play football game. Yeah, We're just 561 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: gonna play football game, as opposed to Week one, where 562 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: it was carrying the city of Houston on your back, right, 563 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: And you don't at that point really know how good 564 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: the Jaguars are. Not that you took them for granted 565 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: or anything, but with all that had gone on being 566 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: at in West Virginia, that having to deal with the 567 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: hurricane and all the after effects of that, you felt 568 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: like you were playing a game that was not not 569 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: your true life Sunday game, just your wake up, let's 570 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: go play. It felt like you were playing for so 571 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: much more. There's so much more on their shoulders. We 572 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: didn't play well and didn't play well at all in 573 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: that game. You know what was weird about that game 574 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: for me personally, I had to drop tickets off at 575 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: a friend's house in bell Air and driving through bell 576 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: Air before going to the game, and a lot of 577 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: guys live in bell Air. It felt really strange because 578 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: you see the devastation of the hurricane, you know, and 579 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 1: there were areas hit harder than bell Air, but bell 580 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: Air was hit pretty hard. You know, a lot of 581 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: people I know flooded and not a ton It wasn't 582 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: like you know, Memorial and Eldridge in that area that 583 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: just was underwater by six feet because of the reservoir situation, 584 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: but it was still you know, everybody had debris out everywhere, 585 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: and it just felt like, all right, we're gonna go 586 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: play a football game today. This is going to be different. 587 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: And I just think it had an effect somehow. Anyway. 588 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,959 Speaker 1: I agree with you absolutely that. And look, the Jaguars 589 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: were phenomenal last year. Let's just hope for the best here. 590 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: We'll get to that home game in a moment here. 591 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: So Giants, you open up at home. We're doing the 592 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: home games with them September twenty three. Then you're back 593 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: on the Road at Andy. Then you host the Cowboys 594 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 1: on October seventh, which is going to be epic. I mean, 595 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: this is going to be World War three type stuff 596 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: sports context wise, this is gonna be fun to watch. 597 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: It'll be really interesting to see, obviously how both teams 598 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: are doing at that point, the health situation. You could 599 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: have Prescott Watson Elliott. I mean, you think of all 600 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: the stars in this game on the Houston side of 601 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: the Dallas side. It's just gonna be really fun to 602 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: watch this matchup unfold. I was thinking about this the 603 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: other day at the end of my run. I was 604 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: thinking about that game in particular and thought, holy smokes, 605 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 1: that's Sunday night. That's the kind of game that I 606 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: remember in fourteen. You told me when you're like, you know, 607 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: I want you to do the sidelines and you're gonna 608 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: have opportunities to do Monday night games. And I remember 609 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: being Pittsburgh and You're like, Hey, You're Monday night game. 610 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: It's what I talked about. I was like, Yeah, these 611 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: are the kind of games. You look at it and go, 612 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: I'll never forget this, right, Dallas at home Sunday night game. Wow, 613 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how much better it gets from that 614 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: perspective unless you just lad base the Cowboys, which would 615 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: be great on national TV, and really make a statement 616 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: that's like a bowl game, but it really is. I 617 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: mean it's in the fact that it's only it's every 618 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: four years. The last one up there was I say 619 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: this to people, you know, you talk about losses that 620 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: you remember, that one to this day remains one that 621 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: is not a head scratcher. But it was like, it's 622 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: one I'll never forget because it was like a fifty 623 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: fifty crowd. I don't have to spend fifty fifty crowd 624 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: in here, but it was a fifty fifty crowd that day, 625 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: which made it like a bowl game, which which was 626 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: weird to be an NFL stadium. An Tony Romo has 627 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: to go to silent account because our fans are so loud. 628 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: It was unbelievablet of Red when the Texans told the game, 629 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: the amount of noise, it was really memorable and so 630 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: heartbreaking to lose that one. Anyway, that's October seventh. The 631 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: week later, you get the Buffalo Bills here, So you 632 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: want to talk about trap game, I'm not going there, 633 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: but I will. You have the Cowboys and two weeks 634 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: later you have the Jaguars on the road, which is 635 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: human man between you have the Bills. I don't really 636 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: believe in trap games in the NFL. I mean, if 637 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,959 Speaker 1: you're cruising along through your schedule, I think the fans 638 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: will look at it that way. The coaches cannot possibly 639 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: let you look at it that way. Yeah, as a fan, 640 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: you hear all the talk from media all week long. 641 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: You should get this one, You should get this one right. 642 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: I can't imagine players ever feel that way, but maybe 643 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: they do. Maybe they do play be really good now. 644 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: They went to the playoffs last year and they are 645 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: trying to get better too. And you have no idea 646 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with Lashawn McCoy situation, Whether we're going 647 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: to commissioned an exemple list, whether there'll be charged, drop charges, 648 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: who knows what's gonna happen. But I'll say this from 649 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: an offensive perspective, if Leshan McCoy is not playing for 650 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, that's gonna be an offense that won't 651 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: average more than fourteen points a game. Now, they'll be 652 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: very talented defensively. I think their safeties are very good. 653 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer and might Hideous White. That's gonna be a 654 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: great challenge for this passing game to go against that really, 655 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: really good secondary. That's gonna be a good one from 656 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: that standpoint. But if Jacksonville gets off hot and the 657 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: Texans get off hot and beat Dallas, then I can 658 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: guarantee you that the city will be looking forward to Jacksonville. 659 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: Oh my god, we'll be looking forward to Jacksonville. There's 660 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: no there's no doubt in my mind. And the players 661 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: will as well. Look, these players know each other. I 662 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: mean de Sean and Jaalen Ramsey. Those guys are tweeting 663 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,239 Speaker 1: at each other in the offseason. They know each other. 664 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: It'll be up to Bill O'Brien to say, listen, guys, 665 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: you've got a game, a big challenge. It's the Bills. 666 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: They went to the playoffs last year for the first 667 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: time and forever, and they're gonna be tough to beat. Okay, 668 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: next home game the Dolphins on a Thursday night. Why 669 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: do I get a vibe that a certain former Texan 670 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: could end up playing and this is the one. Maybe 671 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: it's just like my imagination working over time. Who knows. 672 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: We'll also go around in the league and talk about 673 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: what else is happening in the NFL. It's Texans All Access. 674 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: We keep rolling on Texans All Access here from the 675 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: Hunday Texans Radio studio, Mark Vanderma and John Harris with you. 676 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: We've been going over the home games. We went over 677 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: the road schedule a few weeks ago, going over the 678 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: home games in detail, and we've already talked about opening 679 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: with the Giants, the home opener with the Giants, after 680 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: the road start of back to back games away from 681 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: NRG Stadium, the Cowboys game, the Bills game, well after 682 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: a date at the Jaguars, which we went over in 683 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: great detail a few weeks ago. The Dolphins come calling 684 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: on a Thursday night. And here's the significance here, Johnny, 685 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: that you have a Thursday night game, which we all 686 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: know Thursday night games are tough. At least you have 687 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: this one at home, but it's after a road game 688 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: at Jacksonville. Who knows what happens in that one. You 689 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: might really you're gonna need every game, okay, whatever, you 690 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: might really need this one. I'm being overly dramatic there, 691 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: but the Dolphins come calling, and every time my visualize 692 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: this game, I see us while they're playing for the Dolphins. Somehow, 693 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how this happens. He might not even 694 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: make the team. Ryan Tannehill is their starting quarterback, but 695 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: who knows. Maybe the Brockster finds a way to get 696 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: in there. But anyway, you have the Dolphins on a 697 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: short week at your place. I do like this, that 698 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: awful lot. They're the ones who have to travel, eat 699 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: up a whole Wednesday traveling. Come here, crazy fans at 700 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: NRG Stadium for a primetime game. Let's go. The last 701 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: two years Miami's had to go on the road on 702 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: a Thursday night game. They got smashed two years ago 703 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: against Cincinnati when they were wearing like orange. They were 704 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: wearing orange. Bengals are wearing all white and the color rush. 705 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: I'd better go all teal. Last year they went to 706 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: Baltimore and they ended up losing in game forty to nothing. 707 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: So I would imagine Adam Gays is not wanting that 708 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: kind of performance on a Thursday night. That said, the 709 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: reality of the situation in Miami is with whether it's 710 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: Ryan Taniel Hill or brock who. By the way, by 711 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: the way, we'll wear number eight, Oh god rock here? 712 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 1: Remember eight? That for a little bit too good. It's 713 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: too on that. But look, it's a it's a Thursday 714 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: night game. The hope is that you can And if 715 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: you remember last year that Jacksonville game, there were twenty 716 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: one guys an injury report that next day or going 717 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: in because well they needed an injury report because they 718 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: were playing on Thursday. Well it's the same thing. You're 719 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,839 Speaker 1: playing Jacksonville on a Sunday and you gotta travel there. 720 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: Then you got to come back and play Miami here. 721 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: And and look, I Miami lost Dominican Sue. Upfront, they've 722 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: they've they're not as explosive, they've lost Olivia Olivier Vernon 723 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,239 Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. Up front, they're not 724 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: as good up front as they've been in the past. 725 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: Without those guys, I mean, Camera Wakes still there, but 726 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: he's what eighty, it seems. They'll be athletic, they'll be young. 727 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: I don't I think Miami is. I don't know if 728 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: they're going anywhere with Ryan Tannehill to be nice, right, 729 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: So the Texans have got to make short work of 730 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 1: that group. Just go and take care of business that night. 731 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: Don't let them hang in the ball game with you 732 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: just go ahead and take care of business, get them done, 733 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 1: get the mini buy, and then get ready for your 734 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 1: game right for the break many buy, and the game 735 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: right before the break is the Broncos. Now here's the 736 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: significance of the Dolphins game as far as the home 737 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: schedule goes. After that, you don't play a home game 738 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: for a month, a month, because that's October twenty fifth, right. 739 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: Then you have the Broncos on the road, then the buye, 740 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: then the Redskins on the road, and you don't come 741 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: back until you face the Tennessee Titans in a Monday 742 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: night game right Monday night after Thanksgiving. So you go 743 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,359 Speaker 1: from primetime to primetime. That's that's your third primetime game 744 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: at home, and you'll be hosting a divisional opponent. They 745 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: might be doing really well at that point. Look, the 746 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: Titans are. Look, you can make an argument that they 747 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: should win the division, just as you could the Jags 748 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 1: or the Texans. And health has a lot to do 749 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,800 Speaker 1: with it, obviously, development of certain players for the Titans, 750 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: that would be the quarterback position along with everything else. 751 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: But that's your next home game, the Tennessee Titans, and 752 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: we all know what happened. Last year. That was the 753 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: signature win of twenty seventeen. If there is such a 754 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: thing that huge blowout forty three point victory over the Titans, 755 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: they're not going to forget that. I know the Titans 756 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 1: beat the Texans up there last year, but they'll be 757 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: remembering this one an awful lot when they come back 758 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,799 Speaker 1: to narg Stadium. They'll be asked about it an awful lot. 759 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: This three game stretch. You said they October twenty fifth 760 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: is a Thursday night, then will play again, was it 761 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 1: I want to say December second of November twenty six, 762 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,439 Speaker 1: twenty seven, something like that, So they're they're a month 763 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: before they get to play another home game, and then 764 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: it's these three home games in a row. This is 765 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: where this is where they can make up some ground 766 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,720 Speaker 1: if they're trailing in the standings. This is some ground 767 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: that they can increase between them and a second place 768 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,879 Speaker 1: team if they're atop the standings, if they're hot. It's 769 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 1: also the opportunity right there not having to travel, hopefully 770 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: getting guys healthy at that point, coming off a bye 771 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 1: week and then Washington that you can then start to 772 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,359 Speaker 1: eat for those three weeks and you've got those three 773 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 1: division games at home. It's flipp from last year. Last 774 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: year into three division games at home. This year, you 775 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: got the three division games on home in the second 776 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: half of the year. But again making a statement against Tennessee. 777 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: And I've said this about Tennessee. I think I think 778 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 1: it's a good roster. I don't think he compares to 779 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: the Texans of the Jaguars, And so when you go 780 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 1: up against them and you play them at home, hopefully 781 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: you'll take care of business a week two. But a 782 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: Monday night game here against the Titans. The first time 783 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 1: I was ever on a sideline in an NFL game 784 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,959 Speaker 1: was the Monday night game in nine nine was oh nine, 785 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 1: Vince Young and Jerome Boger high fiving them and they 786 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: had to watch a missed field goal. And I remember 787 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: there was a good friend of ours who was a 788 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: wide receiver who came on TV with us, and I 789 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: was like, hey, kickers, and damn it happens. Chris missed 790 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: one that night. But either way, well, not only did 791 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,919 Speaker 1: he miss one that night, that was following the miss 792 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: against the Colts at their place, that with an opportunity 793 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: to go into overtime up there and win up there 794 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: for the first time ever, which they were unable to do. Yeah. 795 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: That and then the next game against Indee led by 796 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 1: seventeen and lost. Yeah, there's just like the year before, 797 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,400 Speaker 1: except Nel rosencopped here at O nine. So that was 798 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 1: a badsing streak for that oh nine team. Four games 799 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: in a row, all in the division, and could have 800 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: gone to the playoffs with just one of those wins, 801 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: all in the division, Cults twice, Tennessee and Jacksonville with 802 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 1: the Chris Brown halfback option passion again. But I think 803 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 1: taking care of business against teams that I think the 804 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 1: Texas are better than, and doing it at home against Tennessee. 805 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: Start with that Monday night game, getting that taken care of, 806 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: and it makes it a little shorter week. But it's 807 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,800 Speaker 1: the last Monday night game we had here. Oh Monday 808 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: night game you had here? Don't tell me now the 809 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: playoff games don't count because the very the first what 810 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,360 Speaker 1: both wildcard games against the Chiefs and the Raiders in 811 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,800 Speaker 1: fifteen to sixteen, that was the Monday Night crew. But 812 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: obviously those are Saturday games. So the last Monday night 813 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: game that was here was what we've had Sunday night games. 814 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: We had a few of those. But what was the 815 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: last Monday Night came here? I gotta go. Was it 816 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: Baltimore in two thousand and ten? Uh man, because wait, 817 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 1: Colts Sunday Night, Colts Thursday Night? What else was Primetime here? 818 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:21,240 Speaker 1: Kansas City Sunday Night? Ye, Colts in twenty sixteen Sunday 819 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: O'Brian Monday Night first year at Pittsburgh yep. And then 820 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,439 Speaker 1: in fifteen, well one of sixteen was fifty the Raiders. 821 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: Monday Night came in Mexico, Mexico City. Last year was Baltimore, 822 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 1: and fifteen you had Monday Night at Cincinnati. Oh that's right. Yeah, 823 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: I haven't played it home Monday Night game in forever boy. 824 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,360 Speaker 1: This this season, I hope this is the only similarity 825 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: with the twenty ten campaign that you have the Giants 826 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: here at the Jets there. Okay, that doesn't happen very often. 827 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: You to think about that because you have AFC NFC 828 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 1: two teams from New York Cowboys here cos ye, well NFC, 829 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 1: so there's that. Oh my gosh, No, let's not have 830 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 1: a repeat of that record. So I mean, we'll face 831 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 1: Michael Vick at the end of the year too. Of 832 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 1: Philadelphia in Philadelphia. Okay, so now you're looking at Titans, 833 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 1: Brown's cults, that three game stretch at home, then you 834 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 1: go on the road back to back, and we talked 835 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 1: about this a few weeks ago, the Jets and the Eagles, 836 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: and then the final game of the regular season, which 837 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: you've been on records saying that you think that for 838 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 1: one of these teams, at least this game won't mean anything, 839 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 1: meaning they'll have all the hay in the barn already, 840 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:30,920 Speaker 1: or the season slid out of control. But I think 841 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 1: you met that they'll have their postseason situation locked up 842 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,839 Speaker 1: Week six since hosting the Jaguars Week sixteen regular season finale, Yeah, 843 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,480 Speaker 1: I mean the finale with the Texas and Jacks. I've 844 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: tried to figure out. I'm trying to figure out. I 845 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 1: want this to be for something in Week seventeen. I 846 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: want it to be for the division. I want it 847 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: to be for a number one seed or a number 848 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 1: two seed. I want it to be. I want it 849 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: to be for something. I just want that. I want 850 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 1: a rivalry to too. I don't know the right way 851 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: of saying it. I would love a rivalry with Jacksonville particular. 852 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 1: They talk a lot They've got a lot of confidence swagger, 853 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 1: if you want to call it that. I just think 854 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,959 Speaker 1: it's a It's a natural born rivalry for a number 855 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: of reasons. The connection with the two coaches. Jalen ramsay, 856 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 1: the guy talks like he loves going against DeAndre Hopkins 857 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: hot loves going against him. Sean Watson's played against Jalen, 858 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 1: They talk a lot, they play physical style of football. 859 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: I just think it could make for a really good 860 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: rivalry and the fact that it could come down to 861 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: I mean week seventeen. I was thinking the other day 862 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 1: as I was thinking about this game, I thought about 863 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety three, twenty five years ago. Wow, I 864 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: remember going to watch the was the Buddy Ryan game 865 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,279 Speaker 1: as the Buddy Ryan Calvin Gilbride game. Was going to 866 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 1: watch that see the finale against the Jets at the Astrodome, 867 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 1: and it was with a buddy of mine at the 868 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 1: Holiday Inn that's over here. They had a sports bar 869 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 1: down below, and we were watching the Giants and Cowboys 870 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 1: and the winner of that got a buy and that 871 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: was ninety three. So the winner of that got a buy. 872 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 1: The loser would host a wildcard game the next week, 873 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:07,879 Speaker 1: and that was the Emmett Smith game where he banged 874 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,319 Speaker 1: up his shoulder but he continued to play. Cowboys win, 875 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 1: they get a buy, Emmett gets healthy, they go on 876 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: and win the playoffs. I was like, man, what about 877 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: a game like that in Week seventeen against the Jags. 878 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: You win it, you get a buy, which you've always 879 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: talked about getting, which would be kind of nice. And 880 00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: the Jaguars have to then play a wildcard game at home, 881 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 1: which they did last year, but the fourth SAT group 882 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 1: to have to do it again would be kind of nice. 883 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 1: As long as you get that divisional playoff bye into 884 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 1: the by waiting on a home game, pinch me, all right, 885 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 1: the weight will be interminable, don't like forever two weeks 886 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,800 Speaker 1: and we'll have radio shows every single night, But you 887 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,919 Speaker 1: know we have every single night it's for seven months. 888 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 1: So I'll wait for a playoff game, thank you very much. 889 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 1: I just want that Week seventeen to mean something. The 890 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 1: Week sixteen, the Eagles game, that's the one that I 891 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 1: think may not mean as much, But I think Week seventeen, 892 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 1: that one. If that one's for the whole shooting match, 893 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 1: I'm all about it. I think that would be I 894 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,759 Speaker 1: think it would be fantastic. I mean, obviously, I have 895 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,919 Speaker 1: a connection with the city of Jacksonville. I've got plenty 896 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 1: of friends and people that I know there. But I 897 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,320 Speaker 1: just think these two teams would make for a great rivalry. 898 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,320 Speaker 1: Not maybe not Raven Steelers quite yet, but let it 899 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 1: build over a few years. I'll get the postseason, do 900 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 1: a few to ay. Look, we'll take that every single time. Johnny, 901 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: thanks a lot.
