1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,320
Speaker 1: Happy Friday, everybody.

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 2: Texans All Access coming at you from the high Hyundai

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: Texans Radio studio. John Harris alongside the Voice of the

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: Texans Mark Vandermire, is we are less than forty eight hours.

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: I love saying that because that means there's a noon

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 2: game on Sunday, and that's when my body kind of

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: finds its equilibrium. Noon games on Sunday everything kind of

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 2: fits in place, kind of like twenty twenty three with

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: all noon games until the last one, which is the

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: one that everybody remembers, but I love to pack. The

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: game is at noon. Mark your thoughts, game at noon.

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: Right off the bat, what do you think.

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: Well, it's funny. First of all, the sound that you

14
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 3: heard was not Johnny opening a beer. That's us opening

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 3: water Yeah, water Gate, and they have the same sound

16
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: as like a opening a beer, a can of beer.

17
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 3: As far as the noon body equilibrium thing, if you

18
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 3: feel that way now, the next two weeks after this

19
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: have said hold my beer, forget it, because equilibrium about

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: to go away very quickly. Yes, it's been nice to

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: have the buye and a quote normal week and the

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: Monday is an extra practice really for the team to

23
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: get back out there. That's the first we saw of

24
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 3: Christian Harris, or they saw Christian Harris coming back with

25
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: the team as he is good to go. But I

26
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: don't know how many snaps. I think that's a big

27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: factor in this one, Johnny. But overall, you're playing the

28
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins, a team that is really hungry for a

29
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 3: playoff berth and they feel like they can get it.

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 3: They feel like if they get this one, it's not

31
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: exactly smooth sailing into the finish, but they've got a

32
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: shot here. They get to seven and seven, and they'll

33
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: be pulling for the Colts because they need the Colts

34
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 3: to beat the Denver Broncos to keep things close for everybody,

35
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: as the Colts would be seven and seven, Denver would

36
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 3: be eight and six, and the Dolphins would be right

37
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 3: in that wild card and mix. They need a little

38
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: extra help too, but they'll love multiple ways in and

39
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: they need help, but they'll love multiple ways in at

40
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: that point. As far as the Texans go, this is

41
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: a playoff game. I'm going to declare it such because

42
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: you cannot afford to lose this game. If they lose

43
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: this game, it's not like it's all, but it gets

44
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 3: a lot tougher, especially if the Colts beat Denver. Now,

45
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: if you lose this game, the Colts lose to Denver,

46
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 3: you're in great shape because the magic number is two

47
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: and you only need either one more win or one

48
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: more Colts loss and you're there. So you should be

49
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: able to get there. And I know people are listening

50
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: to this thinking Vandamin, you're so negative. I'm not negative,

51
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 3: but I'm just pointing these things out. What is at

52
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 3: stake in this one because you've been kind of not

53
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: cruising along when we know they haven't been cruising along,

54
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: but you've had this two game lead in the AFC

55
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 3: South with the tiebreaker at hand, and you've known that

56
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: it's really going to be hard to catch.

57
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: The Chiefs and the Bills.

58
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: They would kind of need to melt down, but hey,

59
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 3: anything's possible because they have another tough one this weekend

60
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: that would be a fourth loss. If you get the victory,

61
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 3: you're a game back of them and you have the

62
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: tiebreaker over them.

63
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: So there are a lot of things going on here.

64
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: The most important thing is beat the Dolphins and then

65
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 3: take it from there.

66
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: If, as you mentioned, let's just play out the if

67
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: the game.

68
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: If the Texans were to lose the game.

69
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 2: If we lost this game thirty five thirty four to

70
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: a Hill Mary two point conversion at the end, a

71
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: horrible way to lose. You lose this game, and somehow

72
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: the Colts win against the Broncos and it's not pretty,

73
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: but they get to win. Yeah, that makes Indianapolis seven

74
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: and seven. Yeah, it would make the Texans eight and six.

75
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: Now you think, oh, eight and six versus seven and seven,

76
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 2: that's a one game lead with three to play, and

77
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: the Texans have the tiebreaker. But the next two games

78
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: for the Indianapolis Colts are Tennessee Titans at home.

79
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, at the New York Giants.

80
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

81
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: See.

82
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: And what are the Texans next two games again for

83
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 3: the at five hundredth time.

84
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City, Yes, and then Christmas Day against the Baltimore

85
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: Raveis see what I'm talking about here?

86
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna make I'm gonna that's the This is

87
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: not good.

88
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 3: I hope I'm not want to I mean, you never

89
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: want to lose any game. This game is way bigger

90
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: than a lot of people are are noticing.

91
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: I just want to point that out right now.

92
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: You can very easy look at what I'm about to

93
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: say and go, well, okay, magic numbers two.

94
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: That means combination of Texans wins, Colts.

95
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: Losses gives you the division. Yeah, okay, so it could easy,

96
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: not easily. You could happen this weekend. The Texans could

97
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: beat the Dolphins. The Colts could go to Denver and

98
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: get beat by probably a playoff bound Denver team, and

99
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 2: you can have the division as early as Sunday evening

100
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: seven thirty.

101
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: Texans Monday eight to ten am, we could be having

102
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 3: a clinching party.

103
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 2: I think my gut tells me that Texans are gonna

104
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: have to win either Kansas City or Baltimore to win

105
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: the division.

106
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: In order to win the division. Give me great the

107
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: sizzle fires on that hot take.

108
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: I think to win the division, the Texans are gonna

109
00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: have to win.

110
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: I their can with either the Kansas City or Baltimore.

111
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: Well half a second.

112
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: That means you think that they might lose this, that

113
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 3: they're gonna lose this weekend. That take says they lose

114
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: to the Dolphins because the only way they have to

115
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 3: beat one of those teams in order to win the

116
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 3: division is if they lose this week and they still

117
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: might not even have to do that, because the Colts

118
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 3: could conceivably lose to Tennessee, the Giants or the Jags

119
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: on the way out right, you could lose out and

120
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: still win the division.

121
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 2: If the Colts just completely barred down two down to

122
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: stretch and you still just go to and two down stretch,

123
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't even matter what you do, right, doesn't matter.

124
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 2: I mean, you could lose all four two enjoys a

125
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: lot for them. They have to rally to beat the Patriots. Understood, understood,

126
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: But I have a feeling them coming out of a bye.

127
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: I just have a feeling they're gonna be fat. Those

128
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: four teams they play. There's even the Broncos and in Denver.

129
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: It could be a tough game. And I hope I'm wrong.

130
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: I think this thing's done at seven thirty on Sunday.

131
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: But I think there's a way they eke it out

132
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: against the Broncos. Then they get a gift with the Titans, Giants,

133
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: Jaguars to fish. I think they could easily go four

134
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: and oh and get into the playoffs.

135
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: I'd call it it's at least three and a half.

136
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 3: Because some people would pick the Texans to lose this

137
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: game because the Dolphins. You know they have a hot offense,

138
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 3: and you just lost to the Titans in your last

139
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: home game, and you beat the Jags, but all right,

140
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: you know Mac Jones came into the game and whatever.

141
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: So look, it's so hard to base it on whatever

142
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: history there is, because look at it this way. You

143
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: could lose to the Dolphins. You're not guaranteed to lose

144
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: to the Chiefs. You can go beat the Chiefs. A

145
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: lot of teams have been right there with a chance

146
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: to beat the Chiefs, unable to get over the hump.

147
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 3: Why can't you get over the hump? Maybe you can't, right,

148
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: and maybe you can beat them. Maybe you lose to

149
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: the Dolphins and beat the Chiefs, and all of a

150
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 3: sudden you have to split in the final two, even

151
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 3: with the hot Colts team chasing you, right, and the

152
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: last game is the last house on the left is

153
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: in Nashville with the Tennessee Titans. I know they beat

154
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: you here, but you made every mistake imaginable. If you

155
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 3: make one fewer mistake, one less mistake, you might win

156
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 3: that game, right, So absolutely, And I.

157
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: Think that's that's why I say, I think they've got

158
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: to win one of those Kansas City Baltimore one of

159
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: the Kansas City or the Baltimore games.

160
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: And you don't want to have to go to Nashville

161
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: needing that game.

162
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: Right, Well, that's kind of what I want to do.

163
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: I kind of want to avoid that Week eighteen game.

164
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: I want to get everybody some rest if possible, you know,

165
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: because if you have a bye week in week fifteen

166
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: and then you could.

167
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: Rest a certain number of your players in.

168
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: Week eighteen, get Davis Mills some reps at quarterback just

169
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: in case, love it and everybody, I mean it would

170
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: it would be the perfect situation.

171
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: But that means you go into the playoffs.

172
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: I know we're getting way ahead of our I know,

173
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 3: you know who wouldn't like this conversation. I know head

174
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: coach Tamiko Ryans, But I know that means you'd go

175
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 3: into the playoffs with some guys not having played for

176
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 3: two and a half weeks.

177
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: Right, Look at it this way.

178
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: If you do clinch Sunday, and that would necessitate a

179
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: Texans victory and a Colt's loss, And it's very possible

180
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: you could clinch Sunday.

181
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: You'll have we'll have a conversation Monday morning.

182
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: I'm you know, you could rest guys in this Chiefs

183
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: Ravens double header, that's right, you know, four days apart,

184
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 3: because you could say, look, if somebody has an injury,

185
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: where look we need you this week. You gotta go.

186
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: All right, that's the kind of player you could rest. Yes,

187
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 3: you don't need to go. We don't need this one

188
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: as badly, and preserve yourself because we still have bigger

189
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: games down. But if you lose the Dolphins, now you're like,

190
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: and the Colts do win, right now, you gotta go.

191
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: You gotta go against the Chiefs. All hands on deck.

192
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 3: This is really crucial.

193
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at it from this perspective,

194
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: there's four games for each.

195
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: Colts and Texans. Okay, four independent results. If you get

196
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: two of them to go your way, well, let's say

197
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 2: Dolphins win, Colts win. Now, all a sudden, it goes

198
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 2: from eight opportunities to six. And then you look at

199
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 2: the three for each team and it's.

200
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: Like, hh, so just take care of your business this week.

201
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: Just take care of your business this week.

202
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: Play good foot, Paul coming out of the by, play

203
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: clean football coming out of the by, and hopefully in

204
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: the end it won't matter. Hopefully the Colts go to

205
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: Denver and trip all over themselves, and the Texans walk

206
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 2: in and play the type of football that we have

207
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 2: grown accustomed to the last what you know, eighteen months

208
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 2: or so or I don't know, Harbor Long.

209
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: You would say it's a weird team. Though it's a

210
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: weird team, you're.

211
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: Fami, Yes, yeah, yeah, very I'm not saying I'd rather

212
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: play the Ravens this weekend, but I think I would

213
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 3: because I kind of know what they're gonna do. I

214
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: know what to expect more from the Ravens. Go get

215
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: Derrick Henry. You have to have the eye discipline with

216
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, no doubt about it, because they could do

217
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 3: a lot of dipsy doodling in the backfield. That's a

218
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 3: technical football term shotting.

219
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if you were aware of it.

220
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: I know I've learned this over the Lombardi used to

221
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: use that and Paul Brown and.

222
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: Here and I see you here, and you dipsy doodle

223
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: over here.

224
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: Say the quarterback dipsy doodled with the running back and

225
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: all of a sudden they're in the end zone.

226
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: That's how it happens. But it the Dolphins just have

227
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: this it's so unpredictable.

228
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 3: I feel like they're playing a really good flag football

229
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 3: team that if you protect toua, it's just they're just

230
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: barnstorm and man, they're just throwing it everywhere and throwing the.

231
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: Ball around the yard. And what my gosh, what.

232
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 2: I like, just from a football perspective is what they

233
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: do is sound.

234
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not, you know, there's it's.

235
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: Not like I can see the theory and how they're

236
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: going about. I think great examples out and they were

237
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: down twenty to fifteen to the Jets and they got

238
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: down on a goal.

239
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: I was fourth and goal.

240
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: I think they were at the five, and they put

241
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: Tyreek out wide, and they knew the Jets were going

242
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 2: to be a man and man, so they put Tyrek

243
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 2: out wide. What I don't know whether they knew it

244
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: at the time, but they knew exactly they figured what

245
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: was going to happen. That is, if Tyrek went motion

246
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 2: that they would bump.

247
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: The coverage.

248
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: They would bump so they had a corner on Tyreek,

249
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: So the corner would bump over to John Ue Smith

250
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: and then the safety would bump inside the Tyreek.

251
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 5: Right.

252
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: Well, that's exactly what they wanted because then freeze, the

253
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: safety runs an out route to go on to a

254
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: just and it's touchdown.

255
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: It's like what they do is sound. It's not as

256
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: if they're just like, well let me.

257
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 2: Just let's just run a winging over here, and do

258
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: you know, like they're very sound in what they do.

259
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 3: What happened with the Rams last night where they a

260
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 3: big down later I think was third down and four maybe,

261
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 3: and they had to keep the ball and they motioned

262
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup. He was wide to the right of the quarterback.

263
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: They motioned him to the left side. Two guys went

264
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: with him, and all of a sudden, the tight ends

265
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 3: open and safety came over.

266
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: But way too late. And you can't be that's I disciplined.

267
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 3: That's that's what Demika Riots was talking about, because I

268
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: know the player that probably to bracket Cooper Cup, but

269
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: if he goes in motion, we got to send just

270
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: one guy with him.

271
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they had to be ready for that, and

272
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: they weren't. Well, you know who's supposed to be in there,

273
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: de Andre Campbell.

274
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's right, that's where he was supposed to be,

275
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 3: and he would go back into the game.

276
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's the that's the frustrating aspect.

277
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Now a linebacker that would not have made

278
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: that mistake. He's one to Meka Ryan's. He's not that

279
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: coach of your Houston Texans. He cut up with the

280
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 2: man to my left. Right here, coach, let's start with

281
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: I discipline. How have you practiced it? How do you

282
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 2: use it against the Dolphins?

283
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 6: And the main thing is, like we're in man coverage, guys,

284
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 6: making sure you look at your man. You know, even

285
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 6: at this level, we have to continue to mind guys.

286
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 6: Everybody gets antsy about making that play, but you can't

287
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 6: make a play if you're looking at the quarterback. Right,

288
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 6: So when we're in man coverage, got to make sure

289
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 6: we're looking at the quarterback. We're in zone coverage, makes

290
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 6: it your eyes are exactly where they're supposed to be.

291
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: How hard is it to decide this linebacker covers this

292
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: back as opposed to a safety or whatever, because these

293
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: backs can catch a lot of pass.

294
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, these backs are fast, they're explosive. It's about skill set, matchup.

295
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 6: Like we try to put our guys in the best position,

296
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 6: so it'll be different times. We have linebackers on it,

297
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 6: we have safeties on it, we just try to mix

298
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 6: it up so it's never one way that they can

299
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 6: attack us.

300
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 3: You've told me before, you go into a game with

301
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 3: a bunch of blitzes, but you hope to not use them.

302
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: What about the game plan? What can you share with

303
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: us out to Because he's so good at getting the

304
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 3: rid of the ball quickly.

305
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, Tua has the fastest time to throw the ball,

306
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 6: the lowest depth of target in the NFL, so the

307
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 6: ball is out fast. So our d line how they

308
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 6: affect the game this week is going to be of course,

309
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 6: rushing when we have the opportunity, but the main point

310
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 6: is getting your hands up, like you have to line

311
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 6: of scrimmage. His release, he's releasing the football. Can we

312
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 6: get our hands up? Can we knock down some passes?

313
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 6: That's how we'll disrupt to it this week.

314
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: Offensive line, you've had to deal with injuries before up here,

315
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: and now you have to block these tough guys in

316
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: the middle Kaleis Campbell Styler.

317
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: How do you handle that?

318
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, it'll be a collective effort, a big group, big front,

319
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 6: Like we have to just stay after. We have to

320
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 6: finish blocks, and that's our biggest key to victory this week.

321
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 6: Is just staying after it, being relentless, finishing our block,

322
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 6: whatever it takes. We need all five guys right in unison,

323
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 6: working together, communicating really well, because these guys run a

324
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 6: lot of stunts, a lot of games up front, so

325
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 6: the picture is going to change, so we have to

326
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 6: understand that and be prepared for it and just execute

327
00:13:58,760 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 6: when it does happen.

328
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 3: What do you expect to gain coming out of the

329
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 3: buy as far as a burst of energy perhaps, but

330
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: you have to fight off rust.

331
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: Is that a factor at all?

332
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 6: You tell me, yeah, I hope we'll just come out

333
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 6: with the burst energy the rust is off.

334
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: Hopefully.

335
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 6: We're at a point of the season where everybody knows

336
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 6: what to do, they know how to do it. We

337
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 6: just want to see our guys come out after the buys,

338
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 6: just flying around, playing fresh, playing with great energy, right

339
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 6: and bringing some great enthusiasm to our crowd.

340
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 3: What about the special team's aspect of this, because it'd

341
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 3: be great to get the field position in your favor.

342
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 3: Of course it always is, but especially against an offense.

343
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 4: Like this, and field position is always huge.

344
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 6: As much as we can have these guys backed up

345
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 6: and make them drive the field, that'll be huge for us.

346
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 6: Our coverage units have to do a really good job.

347
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 6: They have a young returner, but he does a good job.

348
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 6: He's aggressive, so you won't see many fair catches from him.

349
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 6: He's gonna field the football and he does a really

350
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 6: great job of getting vertical. So for us, as we

351
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 6: cover down the field, we have to do a great

352
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 6: job of getting in front of him and wrapping him up,

353
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 6: like put him by on body tackling, wrapping them up.

354
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: All right, final factors in pulling out the W today?

355
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: How do you see it?

356
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 4: Yeah? How we pull out the W today?

357
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 6: It's gonna be about our offense, Like when ball carriers

358
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 6: get the ball in their hand, whoever he may be, like,

359
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 6: are we gotta go score?

360
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: Right?

361
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 6: We gotta make these guys tackle us. We gotta play physical,

362
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 6: play fast. Defensively, we have to eliminate any explosives and

363
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 6: that's gonna come back down to tackling in space. These

364
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 6: guys are really great in space. If we swarm and

365
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 6: we tackle well, we communicate well on defense and we

366
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 6: can keep these guys out of the end zone.

367
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: Coach, thanks a lot, good luck.

368
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: Thanks Mark, the guy.

369
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: Who also play a big role in this game. Now,

370
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: is DEFENSI Van, it's gonna be a little different. You're

371
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: used to rushing from one side and seeing a much

372
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: right handed quarterbacks. Now two is a lefty, so now

373
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: you're the blind side rusher. Will Anderson Junior he caught

374
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: up with Drew Doherty.

375
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 7: That's right, we got Will Anderson Junior here. Will, good

376
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 7: to be with you. Hope you're doing great. Let's start

377
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 7: with the week of rest that you had. How was

378
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 7: the bye week?

379
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: What'd you do?

380
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 8: Yeah? Thank you for having me. It was great. I

381
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 8: just chilled most of the time. You know, I got

382
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 8: some time to spend my family. We kind of like

383
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 8: rehad thanks getting a little bit since all of us

384
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 8: was home. My sister, who was a fight attendant, she

385
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 8: was home too, so we did that. And you know,

386
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 8: just Jill got my body right and hung out with

387
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 8: my boys. Didn't do no fishing because it was too

388
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 8: cold in Georgia. But I just relaxed.

389
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 7: There's time for fishing later. Right before we get going,

390
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 7: what's the worst Thanksgiving side dish?

391
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 8: Green bean casserole?

392
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 7: Ooh, okay, all right, you'd still be welcome in our

393
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 7: house then, because you know, to each his own, I

394
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 7: love green and castro Let's talk about what you saw

395
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 7: from this squad when you did get back to practice.

396
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 7: Was there a little bit of a pep in the step?

397
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 7: Was there a little bit of rejuvenation?

398
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 8: You think most definitely. I feel like the guys are

399
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 8: well arrested. I think that everybody took advantage of this time,

400
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 8: you know, just going for such a long time and

401
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 8: having his break. I think we're ready to go. I

402
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 8: know the guys that we have in his locker room,

403
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 8: I know what the you know the big goal is.

404
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 8: I know they know what the big goal is, and

405
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 8: I know everybody's rejuvenating, ready to go.

406
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 7: You were very advanced when you came into the league.

407
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 7: You win the Defensive Rookie of the Year award. Where

408
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 7: you are now compared to a year ago, then how

409
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 7: much for where along you think you are as a

410
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 7: player right now?

411
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 8: Oh? Way further along? Like the game is slowed down

412
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 8: for me so much. The defense comes to me easy,

413
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 8: and you know, I think it's just the coach is

414
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 8: trusting me to go out there and do my job.

415
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 8: And I can do my job without thinking and having

416
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 8: fun and just flying around.

417
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 7: Tell me about this rushing attack you're gonna see from

418
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 7: the Miami Dolphins. It's probably one of the more impressive units.

419
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 4: Isn't it.

420
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, most definitely. You know, they do a lot of motions,

421
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 8: do a lot of shifts, and a lot of screens.

422
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 8: I know they like I think they're topping the NFL

423
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 8: and screens, so they're gonna try to do anything they

424
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 8: can slow us down, you know, perimeter runs, perimeter throws,

425
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 8: getting us running out the stack. But we just have

426
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 8: to be sound, not take the ikend and just play

427
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 8: our technique and play out branded ball.

428
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 7: Yeah, you kind of touch on it there in that answer,

429
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 7: But how tricky an offense on the whole is this

430
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 7: for a defensive end, for a pass rush you mentioned

431
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 7: some of that stuff, but they get rid of the

432
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 7: ball very quickly as you talked about.

433
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think coach have been stressing it all week.

434
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 8: Is just like just don't get frustrated. You know, we

435
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 8: obviously we want to get home, but we know how

436
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 8: the teams are going to attack us. And you know

437
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 8: they they know the system like the back of their hands,

438
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying, because they came from San

439
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 8: France together, so he knows how to attack it. But

440
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 8: just to get us a far. You know, get up

441
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 8: off our spots, get the defensive ends to move around it.

442
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 8: We're just going to stay in our spot, not take

443
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 8: the eye candy, and just get off the ball and

444
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 8: just react.

445
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 7: Do you see a lot of similarities you bring up

446
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 7: the San Francisco part from what you see in practice

447
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 7: on a daily basis with the Texans in this offense.

448
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, most definitely. I think Miami probably do a little

449
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 8: bit more screens and they get the ball out a

450
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 8: little faster, so stuff like that. You know too, of course,

451
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 8: everything with him, so they don't want him to get hit,

452
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 8: so they're going to try to do anything they can

453
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 8: to make sure the ball is getting out fast. Yeah.

454
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 7: How impressed are you by what he's done this season?

455
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 7: It's a different ball team when he's in there.

456
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 8: Most definitely.

457
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 2: You know.

458
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 8: I respect too all the way back at Alabama watching

459
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 8: him there, and he's been tremendous. I think he's the

460
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 8: rock of that team. He gets that team going, and

461
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 8: oh I wish him nothing but the best. And I

462
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 8: think he does a really good job of handling the

463
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 8: situation that he in making big plays when he needs

464
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 8: to be made.

465
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 7: I don't know how much in your past you faced

466
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 7: the left handed quarterback, if at all, But is there

467
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 7: a difference do you think when you're going after a

468
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 7: guy who throws that way?

469
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 8: Oh, actually this will be my first one, so we'll

470
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 8: see if there's any difference. I'm excited about.

471
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 7: It coming back home after the time off. Do I

472
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 7: imagine you gotta love playing for the Energy Stadium, faithful.

473
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 8: I love playing home. I think it's awesome. Home feel advantage.

474
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 8: I think you get the rest of your body a

475
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 8: little bit more too. Since you're at home, you don't

476
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 8: have to get on the road, you don't have to travel,

477
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 8: and you know, just also for the fans to get

478
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 8: to see our fans again and to get them back

479
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 8: involved with everything.

480
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 4: Off to the bout.

481
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 8: We're just gonna be special, all.

482
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 7: Right, Will Anderson Junior. It's always a pleasure talking with you.

483
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 7: We appreciate the time. Best of luck against the Dolphins

484
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 7: and the rest of the way.

485
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 8: Thank you.

486
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 5: I appreciate it.

487
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 2: I don't know why there are certain people that I'd

488
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 2: love to see out on a field play every single week.

489
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I love all the Texans, Mark, but I

490
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: love watching fifty one plays. There's and I think I

491
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 2: I like it because he's such a different guy out

492
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 2: on the field, Like there's a different like. Out on

493
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 2: the field, he's wired, but off the field he's he's

494
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: the nicest dude and such a great guy with a

495
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 2: great smile. I love to see those guys that kind

496
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 2: of flip that switch like that, and and Will is

497
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: definitely one.

498
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: Of them that they know.

499
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 2: Between white lines, I'm the terminator. Outside the white lines,

500
00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: I'm Will Anderson Junior.

501
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 4: I like that.

502
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 2: I like that guys can go find a dark place

503
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 2: football wise and go on a field to make plays,

504
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 2: and hopefully that's what Will does.

505
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a tremendous asset for this team. So's Daniel Hunter.

506
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 3: I did a lot of Miami stuff this week, and

507
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: we're all asking about those two guys, because when you

508
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 3: look at the Texans on paper, to hear it from

509
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: their perspective, it's frightening. When you look at the numbers

510
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 3: of Will and d'anneel, you're thinking, oh my gosh, how

511
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 3: are we going to deal with this? And we saw

512
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 3: the Jacksonville game. It wasn't a big feast for those

513
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 3: two as opposed to some other contests where they do

514
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 3: feast in the sack department in the TfL department. So

515
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 3: in this game, I don't know what it's going to

516
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 3: look like. I would love to see them get after Tua.

517
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: You just got to make to a hold it a

518
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 3: split second longer and get to him, get some hits

519
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: on the quarterback. You got to chop the head off.

520
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 3: Is that too severe in this day and age of

521
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 3: professional football?

522
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: I mean not really. I mean I think it's okay.

523
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's what I mean literally football sense, Yes,

524
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: it's all that talk about.

525
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: We talk about violence, talk about it in a football

526
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 2: violence and football violence is legal violence.

527
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: In football, not illicit. Legal. Give me your.

528
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 2: Give me your X factor for this game. I mean,

529
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 2: we talked about Will and Denielle. I mean we know

530
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 2: they're big. There their keys in this game. There's there's

531
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: no question. We know CJ throwing the ball and all that. Yeah,

532
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 2: there's always an X factor in a game. I got one.

533
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 2: I'll let you think of you go ahead, you got one.

534
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 2: I think one of the X factors in this game.

535
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 2: And maybe I'm not giving I don't know. Maybe it

536
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: could be a big key in the game. But I

537
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 2: think that the Texans ability to slow down the Dolphins

538
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 2: screen game, especially to a chant is huge.

539
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: Yea.

540
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: They like to throw him screens out of a lot

541
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 2: of different kind of eye candy motion movement and it

542
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 2: gets you moving one way and then Tyreek's going the

543
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 2: other way and your eyes are on Tyreek, and then

544
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 2: too it drops back and you're like, oh, it's passed, okay,

545
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: get to my drop or get to my area or

546
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 2: with my guy. And then all of a sudden, twenty

547
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 2: eight turns around, he gets his screen and it's like,

548
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 2: oh god, there's nobody around them, and he turns that

549
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: into a run play. And one of the things that

550
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: I wanted to do, and I think it might be

551
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 2: a project for Saturday, is I want to go through,

552
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 2: especially the Jets game against the Dolphins, and I want

553
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: to see how often the Dolphins use the short passing

554
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 2: game as part of their running game or is disguised

555
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 2: as passes, but it's really just you know Tyreek, you know,

556
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 2: out in a flat on a swing route that's just

557
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 2: a toss sweep. You know, a chan is running inside zone,

558
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 2: but he's just catching the ball from to a as

559
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: opposed to him getting a handoff. Like, how often do

560
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: they use those screens and some of those checkdowns and

561
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: some of that short stuff as an extension of the

562
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 2: run game because they don't run it exceptionally well.

563
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: They don't have an offensive line. They can just grind

564
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: you into dust.

565
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 2: But I think the ability to slow down an in

566
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 2: the screen game is absolutely Maybe it's more massive. I

567
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 2: let on a call it an X factor, because it's

568
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: not something a lot of people are talking about, I guess,

569
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: but I think it's huge. He cannot break a screen,

570
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: you cannot allow a screen pass to go for seventy

571
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: because you're not having the right eye discipline, You're not

572
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: where you need to be. You don't make a tackle,

573
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden he turns into a

574
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 2: track meet, which he's never lost a track meet being

575
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: at Fort pen Marshall High School many years ago. So

576
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 2: I think it's a screen gaming against a chan.

577
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 3: What do you say, I say, Well, to me, that's

578
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 3: more of a meat and potatoes, what's on the menu

579
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:30,479
Speaker 3: kind of thing.

580
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

581
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 3: Maybe, So I think X factor to me is the

582
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 3: physical nature that the Texans need to bring and probably

583
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 3: will bring to this game.

584
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: They need to that's a better X factor in.

585
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 3: Mind you they need to punish them this has to

586
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 3: be a mauling on defense. We're gonna take it to

587
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 3: you and if you catch a pass for twenty yards,

588
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 3: you're gonna feel this. And remember, we're still upset about disease,

589
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 3: and we're we're gonna be an aggressive, tough, raw defense,

590
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 3: raw in the center of being physical, not in the

591
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 3: sense of the eye discipline and all the x's and o's,

592
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 3: because you don't have Petrie, you don't have a disease,

593
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 3: but you still have a lot to work with that

594
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 3: linebacking core eager to get after it. With Harris coming back,

595
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 3: you look at the secondary and here's another one.

596
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: Derek Stingley Junior. Hello, I'm facing these receivers.

597
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 3: And I don't know how they're all gonna line up

598
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 3: and cover, but you know he wants to make some

599
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 3: plays and there will be plays to be had if

600
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 3: you can possibly get to two, especially with the injury

601
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 3: situation with the Miami tackles. So let's go get after

602
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 3: two a four, some bad throws and get some picks,

603
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 3: get a takeaway or two. Here's another one. And since

604
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 3: we're playing the Dolphins here, my Miami comes out. Big

605
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 3: time players. Big time players have to make the big

606
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 3: plays in the big games. So on offense, I need CJ.

607
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 3: Stroud and Nico Collins to get after it like you

608
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 3: know they can and will. They're going to find a

609
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 3: way to make some big plays in this game. And

610
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 3: Joe Mixon coming off bye. Look, we've seen Joe on

611
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 3: multiple weeks in a row run in his butt off.

612
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 3: Now Joe's had some rest. Joe was on the couch

613
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 3: last week or doing whatever he was doing to rejuvenate

614
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 3: the body.

615
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: Here comes Joe Mixon Dolphins. How does that taste?

616
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 3: So I want to see those guys perform at the

617
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 3: high level they're capable of and walk away with the victory.

618
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 3: And you know what, it's not like, oh now it's

619
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 3: house money the rest of the way. But you got

620
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 3: some deposits in the bank if you win this one.

621
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 3: I don't care what the Colts do against Denver after

622
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: you win this one. I mean I want them to

623
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 3: lose always, but you win this one, you feel pretty

624
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 3: good about yourself moving forward.

625
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 2: So you mentioned Sting and that got me thinking, Sting

626
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 2: seen Well, he's at least seen Jayleen Wattle before and

627
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: he's faced two before. And they gotta be thinking about

628
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen matchup. Sting was a true freshman at LSU

629
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 2: and they played Alabama at Alabama and Tua was throwing

630
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 2: to DeVante Smith, Henry Ruggs, Jerry Judy, Jalen Wattle.

631
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: Is that a pretty good group right there? Yeah?

632
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: And in that game, Waddle had a I think he

633
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 2: had a punt return if I remember the box score, Yes,

634
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 2: seventy seven yards punt return by Jalen Wattle.

635
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: In that game, LSU had Joe Burrow thrown to Jamar

636
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: Chase and.

637
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson, oh my god, and Patrick Patrick Queen and

638
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: Derek Stingley Junior were on the defense. I'm curious on

639
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 2: both on both sides. This is what I'm curious about.

640
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 2: And I wrote it in my Keys to the Game.

641
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 2: I called it travelers check. Who is going to travel

642
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: with the big receiver? Is Jalen Ramsey going to travel

643
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 2: with Nico Collins? Is Derek Stingly going to travel with

644
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 2: either Waddle or Tyreek? I would bet more money that

645
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 2: Jalen's going to travel with Nico more than I would

646
00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 2: Derek with with Tyreek.

647
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 3: And and Jalen yeah, because they have all that motion

648
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 3: and you kind of got to pick him up that's

649
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 3: trying to fly if you will.

650
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 2: That's right, and we don't use as much motion, so

651
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 2: I could see Ramsey. Now, we'll line me go up

652
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: in different spots, might even line him up in a

653
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 2: backfield at certain points to get to get him loose.

654
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 3: But it's Ramsey, still Ramsey. No, No, but he's smart,

655
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 3: but he's still Ramsey.

656
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:24,959
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know what I mean.

657
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 3: Richard Sherman. Yeah, I mean, I know Ramsey in his

658
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 3: peak is better than Richard Sherman as peak Ramsey's, but

659
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 3: Richard Sherman aging Richard Sherman still had the Richard Sherman savvy.

660
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: Yes, that's exactly right.

661
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 2: I think Ramsey's got a little bit more savvy, and

662
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 2: he always had more athleticism and size than anybody that's

663
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: ever played that position for the most part, so he

664
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 2: can kind of rely on that.

665
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: But the Jets kind of spun him around.

666
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: They put him on Garrett Wilson, and Garrett got whatever

667
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: Rogers was looking for him.

668
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: Garrett, Garrett got him.

669
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: So I'm curious to see if they put Ramsey on

670
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 2: Nico and then how the Texans go about that. I

671
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 2: there's a part of me that it's like, yeah, go ahead.

672
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 2: I think Nico can win a matchup. I think Nico

673
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 2: not every time, because I think Ramsey still he still

674
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 2: got it, not to the level he had it in

675
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 2: sixteen and seventeen when he and Hopkins were going at

676
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 2: it like those were those were battles like those were whole.

677
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: Buckle up here we go awesome.

678
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 2: They got after it, and both of them like to

679
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 2: play physical, and obviously Nico's a physical receiver. So I

680
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 2: would imagine that's what they're gonna do, is put Jalen

681
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 2: on on Nico. But you know, we'll see Anthony Weaver,

682
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 2: former Texan, former Texan coach, former Texan defensive coordinary. He's

683
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: the one that's got to make that decision on whether

684
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 2: he puts Jalen Ramsey on Nico Collins. But I I

685
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,959
Speaker 2: first there's something telling me that I don't think they

686
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: will travel sting with either Tyreek or Jalen.

687
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't think they're gonna.

688
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 2: Do that too much to consider it, I think, so yeah, yeah,

689
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: I feel like, what's the right way of saying this.

690
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 2: I feel like they'll kind of run into your coverage anyways,

691
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: Like you can maybe go with Tyreek, But then he's

692
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: gonna run across the field and run away.

693
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 3: For you, right, And that's playing into McDaniel's hands. Yeah,

694
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,719
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna vacate an area and right right,

695
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, Sales is running on

696
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 3: the other side of the field exactly.

697
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: So I don't anticipate that, and I think sting can

698
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: end up, you know, being But what I do want

699
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 2: from the DBS, though he Kamarai in particular, is to

700
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: be aggressive early in the in the play that makes sense,

701
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: like jump some of that short stuff. See if you

702
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 2: can get to it a oh no, it's not there,

703
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 2: and recock and have to throw it again. It's just

704
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 2: an extra half second of getting there, can get your

705
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: defensive line it to it.

706
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: We need the right guy at the right time to

707
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: jump the right.

708
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: Route that's take it to the house, that's exactly right.

709
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: And just to shake up to a little bit because

710
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: he's in he's in some kind of groove. I mean,

711
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 2: last since he returned fifteen years fifteen and one, fifteen

712
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: and one low water mark and completion percentages seven seventy

713
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: Is that any good?

714
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: Seventy?

715
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 2: And yet and yet last week against the Jets, he

716
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 2: had another great game, but they should have never won

717
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: the game, should never want it because the Jets offense

718
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 2: was really getting what they wanted. They got it on

719
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 2: the ground with Isaiah Davis and Braylen Allen Prestal didn't

720
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: even play. They got it through the air of Davante

721
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 2: and Gary Wilson and Rogers at his first three hundred

722
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: yard game in almost three years. So they got what

723
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 2: they wanted, but they just they just didn't finish the game. Here,

724
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 2: the Texans got to finish this game.

725
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: Here's the game plan. Score a lot of touchdown, Yeah,

726
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: score a lot of touch about that.

727
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 2: That's a good This is the game. Pay me for

728
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: this kind of analysis. Score like many touchdowns, Johnny, but

729
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: the score fewer.

730
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

731
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 2: And I know we're saying that in Jess, but I

732
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 2: think this offense needs to find the end zone multiple times.

733
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: So that it kind of gets what's the number? I think?

734
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: I think twenty eight.

735
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: Which would be which would be your hot You said

736
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 2: that the other day that's your high water mark at home.

737
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty eight would be it. It might not be.

738
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: It may not it may hope, it may not be enough.

739
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 2: I mean, they're allowed to score more than what we

740
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 2: declare is the number.

741
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 10: That's right.

742
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: I'd like to see a thirty spot put up there.

743
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,239
Speaker 2: I would love to see a thirty spot put up

744
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 2: there for the.

745
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: First time all season. I mean, that gets it done.

746
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: Thirty gets it done.

747
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, get thirty guys done at Green Bay for the

748
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 2: Packers because they only scored seventeen and really did a

749
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: good job. But I think turnover early, score a couple

750
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 2: of touchdowns, make them chase. Now they can chase, but

751
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 2: make them chase get to it to make a mistake

752
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: a little bit. I mean, other than Will Levis, and

753
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 2: I can't believe I have to say those words. Other

754
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 2: than Will Levis, the Texans have done a phenomenal job

755
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: of reducing the completion percentage of quarterbacks. I do was

756
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 2: as hot as golf was and GoF through five picks.

757
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: I hope to a plays more like Josh Allen than

758
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: Will Levis. What a statement in urg's dated.

759
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: That's that's kind of how weird this season's been in

760
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: a sense. I mean it's been weird, but like that's

761
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: the weirdest thing though, right there.

762
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 3: That's what you did to Josh Allen, who's just being

763
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 3: celebrated Galore right now is the MVP leader. Yes, and

764
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: you made them look horrible here, but it's still a

765
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 3: close game.

766
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: So yeah about that?

767
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about that nine of thirty Josh Allen was Meanwhile,

768
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: Will Levis turned into Josh Allen.

769
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: Uh if you can make sense of that. Now I

770
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: met you keys to the game.

Speaker 2: Texas dot com. But let's get some music.

783
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: Going, give me hype, and let's talk about this football

784
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: game in depth. All right, here we go.

785
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 2: Dolphins six and seven, but they lost to Seattle Tennessee,

786
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 2: Indy three out of four games without two tongue of boloa.

787
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: So let's just say two of flips those three.

788
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 2: We're talking about nine and four football team, and nine

789
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: and four they would have everybody's attention, and I think

790
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: they still do. I think they still have everybody's attention

791
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: with to a back way he's playing. I think they

792
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: would have everybody's attention at nine to four, six and seven,

793
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 2: And I think there are probably a few glosses.

794
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, ap, dad, easy, they're gonna win this one.

795
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 10: Easy.

796
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know about that.

797
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: So let's talk about this Dolphins offense, the twenty fourth

798
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: in the NFL, rushing one hundred five yards per game,

799
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 2: passing fourteen to two hundred twenty seven yards per game.

800
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: But again, like we said, two was out for those

801
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: four games, and so.

802
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: That impacted numbers, it impacted their record, it impacted everything.

803
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 2: And that's the first key is two is back. And

804
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: when I say back, I'm not just back in the lineup.

805
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 2: He's back in the lineup. But he's blown fools away

806
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 2: since he returned. And it was the Arizona game that

807
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 2: I returned. He's throwing fifteen touchdowns in one interception. Now,

808
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 2: if there is kind of a roadmap in some sense

809
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 2: to think about this game, think about Detroit.

810
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: Jared Goff was coming in.

811
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 2: He was the hottest thing since sliced bread, and the

812
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 2: Texans picked him off five times. But one of the

813
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 2: things that Jared Goff did and that the Lions offense

814
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 2: eventually did, was they were very successful throwing screens.

815
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: They threw more wide receiver screens.

816
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 2: And the Dolphins will probably throw a few more running

817
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 2: back screens, but they use The Dolphins use Devin devant

818
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 2: Ach as a running back slash screen receiver, so any

819
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 2: time they're throwing him the screen, it's just the extension

820
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 2: of the run game. They will throw some of the

821
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 2: quick screens out to Jalen, out to Tyreek, but the

822
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: screens are one of the biggest deals. But it's Tua

823
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 2: that pulls the trigger. It's Tua that makes the quick decisions.

824
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 2: It's Tua making the accurate throat. The Texans have to

825
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 2: disrupt that. They have to disrupt it, whether it's jumping routes,

826
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 2: being very aggressive on inside and short stuff, being aggressive

827
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 2: on outside short stuff, being aggressive period to force two.

828
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,919
Speaker 1: Or to have to go oh no, pull it back.

829
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: And if you could just get that, then you're dealing

830
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 2: with an offensive line that is not very good. But

831
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 2: you gotta get to it to pull it back down,

832
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 2: and the only way you really can do that is

833
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 2: to be aggressive, show some different looks, try to take

834
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 2: away some of their pet projects. If you won the

835
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 2: passing game and then you got a shot number two,

836
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: I called it, bleep it. Tyreek's down there somewhere. I

837
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: remember when they the Dolphins came to Houston for practice

838
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty three. There are two different teams

839
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 2: with Tyreek's on the field and when he's not, mainly

840
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 2: because Tua gets locked in on where he wants to

841
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 2: throw the football. He gets locked in if throwing about

842
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 2: a ten, especially down a field. So there are times

843
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 2: that Tua just hauls off and throws it to get

844
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 2: it out of his hands and away from that offensive line.

845
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 2: He'll just throw it down the field with the thought that, yeah,

846
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 2: Tyrek will find it, he'll go get it.

847
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: Yeah it'll be good. And typically it is.

848
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 2: And it definitely was that training camp, and it definitely

849
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: has been that way throughout their careers together there in Miami.

850
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 2: That cannot happen. The Texas have given up a ton

851
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 2: of explosive plays this year now. A lot of it

852
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 2: has not been due to broken coverages against the Colts

853
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 2: when Josh Dollens had his Jalen Petrie got picked off

854
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 2: by the receiver company the other way. So then there

855
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 2: are times where safeties get matched up on receivers on

856
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,919
Speaker 2: post routes and quarters because the quarterbacks allowed to hold

857
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: on to the ball that long. So anyways, point being

858
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 2: got a limit the explosive place, and they've got to

859
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 2: know where number ten is at all times.

860
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: And finally, I call this one.

861
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: Exploit the exploitable offensive line for the Dolphins. Maybe without

862
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: toront Armstead, he's their best player, they might be without

863
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 2: Kendal Lamb, he's the backup right tackle. I'm like, gut

864
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 2: tells me that Kendle's gonna try and play. It's just

865
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: a hunch, just kind of reading the t leaves did practice,

866
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 2: didn't practice, limited and questionable. I think they're gonna try

867
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 2: and get him to practice because if they're without Toront Armstead.

868
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 1: And Kendal Lamb, oh boy, it's not as if that

869
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,479
Speaker 1: interior is great either.

870
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: The Texas defensive line has to exploit that defensive line,

871
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 2: get to Tua, force him to have to chase, force

872
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 2: him right, see if he can handle that. And then

873
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 2: get after that tech that Dolphins offense in that way.

874
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 2: All right, Dolphins defense, it's got some names. Zach Siler's

875
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 2: played very, very well. He's the AFC DEFENSEI Player of

876
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 2: the Week and brought in Kalays Campbell. Jayalen Ramsey is

877
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 2: still one of the best corners in the league, John

878
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 2: Holland Chop Robinson is one of the keys in this game.

879
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 2: He's probably the fastest and most explosive edge rusher.

880
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: They could Bradley Chubb for the first time.

881
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 2: He'll be coming off an injury, it'll be the first

882
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 2: time he plays in twenty twenty four.

883
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: Defensively, I think this comes down to a couple of things.

884
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 2: Protecting against Tyler up front, how the Texans offensive line

885
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 2: is configured that can impact Siler and Klais Campbell, does

886
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey as we talked about the first segment, travel

887
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 2: with Nico Collins, and then if he does, how the

888
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 2: Texans exploit that, take advantage of that, how do they

889
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 2: get everybody else involved? And then finally, blocking Chop Robinson

890
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 2: out in the edge is going to be tough. He's explosive,

891
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: he's got bounced, he's got twitch. It's gonna be tough

892
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 2: to block him. They got to keep him contained. The

893
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 2: Jets didn't, and he got into the backfitt against Aaron

894
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 2: Rodgers a number of times. That can be a massive issue.

895
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 2: Those are your keys to the game. All Right, we

896
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 2: get back who's in, who's out? What's up with Christian Harris?

897
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 2: Who's out for the Texans? And what does it do

898
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 2: to the offensive line with one of the players the

899
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 2: Texans have out. We'll do that next on Texans All Access.

900
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: What's up? Everybody? Walking back to the Friday edition of text.

901
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 2: This is All Access from the Honday Texans radio studio.

902
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: I'm your host, John Harris, football anals sideline reporter for

903
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 2: your Houston Texans, And in this segment, every single Friday

904
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 2: when the Texans are playing the game, obviously we take

905
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 2: a look at the injury report. That turns into a

906
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 2: status report, so we find out who practiced, did and

907
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff during the day on Friday.

908
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: But then what is the status for Sunday against the

909
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins. Now, boy, there's a lot going on, and

910
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 2: by a lot, I mean a lot. So let's start

911
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 2: with this. We know that one player for the Texans

912
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 2: out of this game is Juice Scruggs. Now, if you're

913
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 2: going well, wait, Jalen Petrick. No, Jalen was put on

914
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 2: IR yesterday or today? Well, the days are all running together.

915
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 2: Jalen Petri is put on IR. Gonna miss the rest

916
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 2: of this season. We're gonna miss JP. There's no question

917
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 2: Juice is out now. Juice was not put on IR.

918
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 2: So the initial reports that we had heard from Houston

919
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 2: media was that Juice would be out the only foot

920
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 2: issue for a couple to three weeks, and at that

921
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 2: point keep him on the roster, get him back in

922
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, see where he is, See when

923
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 2: you can get him back. Play probably his best game

924
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 2: of the year against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

925
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: Juice is the only player who is out now. The questionables.

926
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 2: Nick Broker had a hand issue that just popped up.

927
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 2: This is the first time all year, I think that

928
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 2: he's been on the injury report, so he was a

929
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 2: full test in practice. He's listened as questionable. Kenyan Green

930
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 2: is listed as questionable. Christian Harris, I know that's the

931
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 2: one I get asked a lot about. He is also

932
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 2: questionable for this game now. Asked in the locker room.

933
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: Willie Anderson Junior, who you.

934
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 2: Heard earlier, was asked about Christian Harris and he's like, yeah, man,

935
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 2: it's glad to have him back.

936
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: He's worked really hard this week in practice. So we'll

937
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: see what the status.

938
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 2: Will be of Christian Harris at ten thirty on Sunday,

939
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 2: and we might hear something over the weekend somebody breaking

940
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:08,959
Speaker 2: news that Christian Harris may end.

941
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: Up playing not playing.

942
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: My gut tells me that if he plays, it's gonna

943
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 2: be not a huge number. But I remember when Christian

944
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 2: went on IRE as a rookie at twenty twenty two.

945
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 2: We went out to Las Vegas and took on the

946
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 2: Raiders and he started the game, then he came out

947
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 2: for a few plays, and then he went back in.

948
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 2: I think he ended up playing like forty to forty

949
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 2: five plays in that game. So we'll see where he is.

950
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 2: The speed is needed, there's no.

951
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: Question about that.

952
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 2: Also questionable is rookie linebacker Jamal Hill. Now Jamal had

953
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 2: been dealing with that knee issue starting on Thursday. Limited participant,

954
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 2: but he's a full participant practice on Friday, So Broker Green, Harris, Hill,

955
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 2: all questionable, but all full participants in practice on Friday.

956
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: That's great.

957
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: Here's some good news that goes with this. Fully Fatukasi

958
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 2: no status nothing. That is great news because that means

959
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 2: Folly's in. He was a full participant practice. He had

960
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 2: been practicing I think limited to start, and then full practice,

961
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 2: full participant on Friday.

962
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: Deniko Autry no game status. He's in.

963
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 2: So this is probably as healthy as the defensive line

964
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 2: has been all year, take the suspensions and all that

965
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,760
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. So you've got Niko, You've got Deniko,

966
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 2: you got Mario, you got Settle, you got Foley, Heinish Togyi,

967
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 2: Jerry's ready to go.

968
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: All the defensive ends are ready to go.

969
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 2: It's gonna be tough to try and whittle down the

970
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 2: numbers on the defensive line, especially against a team like

971
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. You might construct your forty eight man game

972
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 2: day roster a little differently because you might need more

973
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 2: speed on the field.

974
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: But well, you know right now is Juice is out.

975
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: Only guy that's out.

976
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 2: So you're gonna see a different offensive line configuration. I

977
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 2: kind of think I know what it's gonna be. I'm

978
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 2: not totally sure, but we'll see how they go about it.

979
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 2: We'll see how they go about it. Those four questionable broker, Kenyan,

980
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 2: Christian and Jamal Hill. We'll see how they go about

981
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 2: it with those guys, especially Kenyan and Christian who have

982
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 2: been out Christian all year, Kenyan in the last few weeks.

983
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 2: Now on the Dolphins side, there was some news. I

984
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 2: think it was late last night, maybe early this morning.

985
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 2: I think this morning is when I saw it. It

986
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 2: was late last night.

987
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior had not done a whole lot with

988
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins.

989
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 2: I don't think this is massive impact to the Dolphins,

990
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 2: but it's news because it's obj.

991
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: He asked for his release, he got his release.

992
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: He'll be subject to the waivers process, but he will

993
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 2: not play on Sunday against the Texans.

994
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: Now, a couple of big ones right off the bat.

995
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 2: The two starting tackles last week against the Jets for

996
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:58,240
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. For the Dolphins, left tackle toront Armstead. He's doubtful.

997
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 2: He's been dealing with the knee now. He went out

998
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 2: of the game against the Jets. He's not practiced all week.

999
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 2: He did not participate in any practice all week. Now,

1000
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 2: he's a vet, he's been around, he's seen some things.

1001
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 2: He's listen as doubtful. Now, I've said this before numerous times.

1002
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 2: I have never in my eleven years of being with

1003
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 2: the Texans, I've never seen doubtful play. It could be

1004
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 2: a first time for everything, but I've never seen doubtful play.

1005
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 2: And I'm just reading the tea leaves and reading the

1006
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 2: things that have kind of come out from Miami. I

1007
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 2: don't think they're expecting him to play. Patrick Paul was

1008
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 2: interviewed in the locker room. He's ready to dominate, as

1009
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 2: he said against Will Anderson Junior and Daniel Hunter. That's right,

1010
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 2: the rookie from the University of Houston dominating. De Eskridge

1011
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 2: return to receiver. He is out limited participants in practice

1012
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 2: are questionable. Bradley Chubb. That's one to keep an eye on.

1013
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 2: He has not been with the team for a while

1014
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 2: because he got injured last year. He's been on ir

1015
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 2: conor Christian Harris. Haven't seen him all year. He is questionable.

1016
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 2: He's been limited, so we'll see if he gets back

1017
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,760
Speaker 2: on the field. The other limited or the other limited

1018
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 2: today and questionable to watch is Kendall Lamb. Kendall Lamb

1019
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 2: started at right tackle for the Dolphins last week.

1020
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: Against the Jets. He's been starting over the right side.

1021
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 2: So your two starting tackles, one's doubtful, one's questionable, and

1022
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 2: Kendall has done really the only practice he had was

1023
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 2: this week where he.

1024
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: Was a limited participant.

1025
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 2: So even if Kendall's ready to go, he's first of all,

1026
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 2: already the backup there. And secondly, you're gonna have a

1027
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 2: rookie over on the other side, So Tua Takabailoa is

1028
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 2: gonna get rid of the football and get rid of

1029
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 2: that sucker fast, really really fast.

1030
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 4: Now.

1031
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: The only other.

1032
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 2: Questionable but he had fully participate in practice today was

1033
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 2: Blake Ferguson. You're like Blake Ferguson the long snapper. Oh boy,

1034
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:01,439
Speaker 2: non football illness. So five questions for the Dolphins. Bradley Chubb,

1035
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 2: Grant Dubo's wide receiver, Cameron Good linebacker, starting right tackle,

1036
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 2: Kendall Lamb starting long snapper, Blake Ferguson doubtful for the Dolphins,

1037
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 2: Tron Armstead starting left tackle. Out d Eskridge wide receiver

1038
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 2: returner dealing with a knee issue. Tyreek Hill is gonna

1039
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 2: be in Jayalen Wattall was limited with a hamstring but

1040
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 2: those guys don't have any game status, so they're gonna

1041
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 2: be in.

1042
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: We all knew they're gonna be in, and that's gonna

1043
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: make it tough.

1044
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 2: Also in is Raheem Moster with that hip issue. He's

1045
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 2: a full participant in practice today. He's kind of been

1046
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 2: ramping up a little bit. So I got a feeling

1047
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 2: that we will see the Dolphins skill players, perimeter players

1048
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 2: about as close to full speed as they could possibly be.

1049
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 2: And that's terrible news, but that's just the way it goes.

1050
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 2: So eyes on Christian Harris, whether he is going to

1051
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 2: be activated from IR.

1052
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 1: There is a spot available.

1053
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 2: In fact, when the Peatrie news came out, typically the

1054
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 2: Texans have kind of a one for one, like if

1055
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 2: somebody goes on IR, there's oh there's there's a transaction

1056
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 2: that goes with it.

1057
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: We did not see one. I have not seen one

1058
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 1: for anybody.

1059
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 2: Else coming back up to the roster, So hopefully they're

1060
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 2: holding that for Christian Harrison. We'll see Christian hopefully sometime soon.

1061
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 2: It'll be kind of nice to see him against Miami.

1062
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:31,959
Speaker 2: Whereas speed will be as I said earlier, very very necessary. Okay,

1063
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 2: we get back, let's talk about all this this game

1064
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 2: against Miami. What's been going on in the NFL quarterback situation?

1065
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick going to North Carolina with the Houston Chronicles

1066
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 2: own Jonathan Alexander, Jaya. Jonathan Alexander joined us next right

1067
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 2: here on Texans All Access. We got one on one

1068
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 2: of the books on Friday the thirteenth. I didn't even

1069
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 2: think about that. Friday the thirteenth. Weird things happening.

1070
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 1: Actually not really, I don't think. But glad you're with me.

1080
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: Did you get a little R and R?

1081
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 4: Yeah? I did.

1082
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 10: Sorry, I did a little staycation.

1083
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 11: I stayed around in Houston nice and didn't touch work,

1084
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 11: try not to look at X as much, and took

1085
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 11: care of all the things that have been neglecting because

1086
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,240
Speaker 11: the season is just NonStop.

1087
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: Are you with me that the.

1088
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 3: Length of training camp or the preseason seven weeks instead

1089
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 3: of six has as much to do with this as anything,

1090
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 3: because you're going twenty consecutive weeks and I don't know,

1091
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 3: fourth preseason game, But it's not like we're not here

1092
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 3: covering the team doing their thing.

1093
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, and they started early because of the

1094
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,280
Speaker 11: Hall of Fame game, and even the week in between

1095
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 11: the game, and in the last preseason game, you're still

1096
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 11: preparing for the season and still making calls.

1097
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 10: And for me, I'm writing stories.

1098
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 11: So you know, I didn't realize how long it was

1099
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 11: until we actually had that break that we have been working.

1100
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, thirteen weeks, man, it is. It's a grime.

1101
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 2: I think that's probably to me more of it because

1102
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 2: trading camp kind of felt like its own animal.

1103
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, in some sense, this thirteen that was a different animal.

1104
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 2: So game Sunday, we're back on the garage, Jonathan, and

1105
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 2: it's the Miami Dolphins. It's a team that, with too

1106
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 2: healthy has been pretty good to a not healthy not

1107
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,280
Speaker 2: so good too? Is healthy coming in here on Sunday?

1108
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 2: Your thoughts about the Dolphins coming in?

1109
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think the Dolphins are dangerous. Like you mentioned,

1110
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 11: the Dolphins are a much better team with two at quarterback.

1111
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 11: You know, he's leading the league in completion percentage. Texans,

1112
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 11: on the other hand, have forced opposing quarterbacks to have

1113
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 11: bad completion percentages. But I think it's gonna be a

1114
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 11: tough game because a lot of the Dolphins strengths or

1115
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 11: potential strengths, and that's what exposive players have been Houston

1116
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 11: Texans weaknesses recent games and really historically. So I think

1117
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 11: the Texans is going to have to do a really

1118
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,400
Speaker 11: great job of playing back and not falling for the

1119
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,280
Speaker 11: play action fakes, not letting Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddo

1120
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 11: get behind him, and keeping those guys in front of them.

1121
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 11: And that might take playing some cover two in two

1122
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 11: high safety looks and ensuring that those guys stay in

1123
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 11: front of him.

1124
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on the Texans defense? No, pe

1125
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 3: Tree knows he's al Shire. They've known about it, so

1126
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 3: they're preparing and they've got a lot to work with there.

1127
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 3: But what do you think we're gonna.

1128
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 11: See Yeah, obviously, you know, Jalen does so much for

1129
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 11: you in missing him. I think I saw it on

1130
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 11: You Guys Show where Domiko called it a gut punch

1131
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 11: just because of what everything he was able to do

1132
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,439
Speaker 11: for them in the box.

1133
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 10: He's one of the better tacklers, you know.

1134
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 11: You know, I was talking to somebody who said they

1135
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 11: were watching film before the season, and the person who

1136
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 11: showed up on film much with Jalen Petrie because of

1137
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 11: the attack on ability. It was why he fits oil there.

1138
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 11: But you know, I think Jimmy has done a good

1139
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 11: job in coverage and I think they just have to

1140
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,800
Speaker 11: move on without him, and it's going to take guys

1141
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 11: like Kaylen Bullock at safety stepping up in a bigger role,

1142
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 11: Eric Murray having you know, more consistent performances that that

1143
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 11: defensive line getting to the quarterback. This might be the

1144
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,760
Speaker 11: first game where you see the entire defensive line together,

1145
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 11: So that's gonna be key. But you know, I think

1146
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 11: the defenses is really the basis in the foundation of

1147
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 11: this team, and I think they can help shoulder the

1148
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 11: load with the losses they have.

1149
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 2: Okay, solve that issue. Saw the offensive line issue. In

1150
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 2: the offensive line issue, I mean Juice scruggs seemingly with

1151
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 2: a foot, ankle, whatever it might be. I think it's

1152
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 2: a foot. He's gonna be out a few weeks. Saw

1153
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 2: the issue on the Interier office line because they had

1154
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 2: already lost Kenny Green. That precipitated the move with Jared

1155
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 2: Patterson over the center and the Juice over the guard.

1156
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 2: Now Juice is out, Kenyan's back as you jump right

1157
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 2: back in the lineup. Saw the offensive line issue, if

1158
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 2: you will, Jonathan, Yeah, this is you know, this is

1159
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 2: gonna be out for a couple of weeks at least.

1160
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 2: And to me, I thought this was an unexpected blow

1161
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 2: because I thought you were starting to see the offensive

1162
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 2: line kind of gel together. You know, Juice had his

1163
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 2: best game since he started at left guard, and now

1164
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 2: they have to, you know, figure out where the pieces

1165
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 2: fit and you potentially bring King and Green back to

1166
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 2: start at left guard. Or is that Thomas new the

1167
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 2: equality is Zach Thomas Keingyan was obviously struggling the past

1168
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 2: protection before he got hurt. But you know, talking to

1169
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 2: some of the players, they feel like Kenyon has really

1170
00:52:56,239 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 2: attacked the week of meetings head on. And he's intent

1171
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 2: on proving a lot of the naysayers wrong. And he's

1172
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 2: gonna he should. You know, he has that ability. He

1173
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 2: just has to put it together.

1174
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 11: And Demico said it, he's looking for guys who communicate

1175
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 11: and hold each other accountable and be accountable for their actions.

1176
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 10: And I think that's what they're gonna have to do.

1177
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 11: But who will be the best option at left guard,

1178
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 11: I'm not sure, but I guess it depends on who

1179
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 11: plays the best in practice.

1180
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 3: All right, So we all do out of town shows,

1181
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 3: you always get asked the question, what's up with CJ.

1182
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 1: Stroud? Year two sensational? Year one?

1183
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,920
Speaker 3: Numbers different this year, but we've all seen every down. So, Jonathan,

1184
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 3: what's your answer to the question, CJ. Stroud twenty twenty four?

1185
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,800
Speaker 3: What's going on here? We go with four games to

1186
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 3: go in the regular season. What's your answer?

1187
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's a good question. I don't think CJ. Strotd

1188
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 11: Ha is taking a step back. I don't think he's

1189
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 11: in a sophomore slump. You know, you look back to

1190
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 11: his rookie season. There were a lot of throws that

1191
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 11: could have been interceptions that were dropped. Yeah, I could

1192
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 11: think of probably like a handful of them, you know.

1193
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 11: I think you know, obviously CJ has a lot of

1194
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 11: high expectations for himself. He's his own biggest critic, and

1195
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 11: he thinks that he should be making a leap forward

1196
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,239
Speaker 11: that you know, you probably didn't see. And and it's

1197
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 11: a reasonable assumption to assume that that would have happened

1198
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 11: given the pieces that the Texas added. But I think

1199
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:19,720
Speaker 11: that there are a lot of factors that have been involved,

1200
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 11: Like the interior of the offensive line has had its

1201
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,800
Speaker 11: struggles and that's created pressure on CJ. S drowd and

1202
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 11: and required him to adjust. I think teams have have

1203
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 11: years worth of film on him. They know how to

1204
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 11: defend him a little bit better. They lost his two

1205
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 11: best weapons, Nico Collins for some time, Steph Diggs out

1206
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,280
Speaker 11: for the year. That hurts and you have to adjust

1207
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 11: to that. And I think Tank Dell is an underrated piece.

1208
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 11: I think Tank Dell was going through a little something

1209
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 11: when he was coming off the leg injury and then

1210
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 11: the shooting that happened, and I think it took him

1211
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 11: some time to get his barrier. So I think it

1212
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 11: was a lot of different factors involved, and I think CJ.

1213
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 11: Stroud is right on track. He's getting better and I

1214
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 11: think you'll see him improve. Yeah, I'm with your jobs.

1215
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 11: I have that same feeling. Mark and I kind of

1216
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 11: talked about it. Everybody wants to talk about software slump,

1217
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 11: but I'm like, I went back and watched I mean

1218
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 11: the game. Everybody thought he played horrible and it was

1219
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 11: against the Tennessee Titans, and I'm like, yeah, the interception.

1220
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 1: Was bad, but man, he made some really good throws.

1221
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 2: I think the confidence of getting into the end zone

1222
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 2: against the Jaguars, having that big lead in the fourth quarter,

1223
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 2: I think definitely can help them face the Miami team.

1224
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 2: Anthony Weaver, defensive coordinator. It's a good defense, not a

1225
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 2: great defense. A. Do you anticipate Jayalen Ramsey going with

1226
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 2: Nico Collins and B If that's the case, I don't

1227
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 2: want to say Nico becomes a decoy, But how do

1228
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 2: you go about game planning that because watching the game

1229
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 2: against the Jets, Jets weren't scared. Jets went right after

1230
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 2: Jayalen Ramsey and it wasn't really an issue. So do

1231
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 2: you think they'll go more to Nico College or do

1232
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 2: you think that'll precipitate getting more of the run game

1233
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 2: of Joe Mixon.

1234
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, I could see Jalen Ramsey trying to follow Nico.

1235
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 11: You know he wants to take on those matchups. But

1236
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 11: like you mentioned, the Jets had a really good game

1237
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 11: against Jaalen Ramsey. Garrett Wilson had over one hundred yards

1238
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 11: against him or I think ninety seven yards were attributed

1239
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 11: to Ramsey. That's the most of his career. And I

1240
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,720
Speaker 11: think Nico, in my opinion, is top three best receiver

1241
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 11: in the league. Wow, Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson are ahead

1242
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 11: of him, Tyreek Hill two on a good day, but

1243
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,720
Speaker 11: top five for sure. Nico and the way he was playing,

1244
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 11: I think he can get the best of Jalen Ramsey.

1245
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 11: And I think though they'll probably move Nico Collins around.

1246
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 11: You started to see in that Jacksonville Jaguars game when

1247
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 11: they needed to play, they were going to Nico more

1248
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 11: and more. And I think that's what they're starting to realize,

1249
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 11: and I think they'll continue to realize that Nico really

1250
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 11: is an unstoppable force out there when you give him

1251
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 11: the ball. Now he's healthy. Now you can give him

1252
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 11: the ball and not have to worry about the hamstring

1253
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 11: as much. Early on when he was just coming back.

1254
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 3: All right, another one. I get asked, and I'm going

1255
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 3: to ask you, what's the identity of the offense?

1256
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: What do they want it to be?

1257
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 8: Is it that?

1258
00:56:58,120 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 2: What is it?

1259
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: Actually? Expand on that for us?

1260
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think the identity. You know, early on they

1261
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 11: were really trying to figure it out. They thought with

1262
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 11: all the weapons that it was going to be this

1263
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 11: high power passing attack. But you saw how effective Joe

1264
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,440
Speaker 11: Mixon could be and how much pressure he takes off

1265
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 11: of CJ. Stridd It has to be the running game,

1266
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 11: and it has to be ensuring that they run the

1267
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 11: ball effectively with mixing. I don't know the stat off

1268
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 11: the top of my head, but I do know the

1269
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 11: Texans are I think five and two when Joe Mixon

1270
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 11: runs for one hundred yards or more and then have

1271
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 11: what three losses two and three when he doesn't run

1272
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 11: for one hundred yards and more. So, you know, I

1273
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,959
Speaker 11: think the identity is starting to be more and more

1274
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 11: that they have to run the ball through Joe Mixon

1275
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 11: and that's what's going to open up things for CJ.

1276
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 11: Strode and make things a lot easier for him and

1277
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 11: to be able to find Nico Collins.

1278
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get to the story of yesterday, and probably

1279
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 2: wasn't the Texans, I don't think, although there were some

1280
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 2: injury news that you ended up breaking. Jonathan bill Belichick

1281
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 2: takes over at as the head coach University of North Carolina.

1282
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 10: Go, yeah, that was my old stumping grounds. Yeah yeah,

1283
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 10: covered UNC.

1284
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 11: I was pretty shocked by it, and I actually don't

1285
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 11: even know how to feel whether it's a good move

1286
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 11: or a bad move.

1287
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 10: I've read arguments on both sides.

1288
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 11: You know, I did talk to a coach and I

1289
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 11: won't name who he is, but who he's done both

1290
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 11: college and pros, and he told me that it will

1291
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 11: work if U and C gives allows. You know, that

1292
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 11: allows the money for NIL because obviously the kids in

1293
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 11: whoever else the coaches, the high school coaches will send

1294
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 11: their kids to schools, will have that respect for Bill

1295
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 11: Belichick though. Listening to him, and he's a smart coach

1296
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 11: who knows offense and defense very well. It'll just be

1297
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 11: a matter of recruiting and whether UNC will give them

1298
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,919
Speaker 11: the funds to recruit the top players.

1299
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 10: In the league. But it was probably the huge biggest

1300
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 10: story in college football of the year.

1301
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 1: For sure, you know as well as I do living

1302
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: in that state. There's money there.

1303
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 10: Oh, for sure, there's money there.

1304
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 2: It's just a matter whether I state wants to get

1305
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:00,919
Speaker 2: with the football or give to somewhere else.

1306
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 10: Yeah. Absolutely.

1307
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 11: And it's interesting too because UNC is a basketball school,

1308
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 11: and obviously with Bill Belichick there, that's gonna have to uh,

1309
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 11: it's gonna be a little bit of assizement shift.

1310
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 10: They're going to have to shift that focus on the football.

1311
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 3: All right, Jonathan. The Colts are at Denver. What kind

1312
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 3: of shot do you give the Horseshoe to win a

1313
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 3: mile high?

1314
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, it just depends on how hard the Colts back.

1315
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 11: They have a chance as good as anybody. When Anthony

1316
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 11: Richardson is playing very well, he gives the Colts shot

1317
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 11: to beat most teams. But when he's playing really bad,

1318
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 11: any team can beat them. And I think Denver is

1319
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 11: really on a roll right now. I don't know their

1320
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 11: record right now, but they're in good contention. Bo Nicks

1321
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 11: is playing well for a rookie.

1322
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 1: Really.

1323
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 11: Champagne teams to have his post on that that Broncos team,

1324
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 11: and I think ultimately they'll come out on top against

1325
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:54,959
Speaker 11: the Colts.

1326
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 1: Which team becomes more dangerous in the playoffs.

1327
00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 2: Mark asked me this and I kind of have in

1328
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 2: hard on with back and forth, and I settled out

1329
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 2: an answer. The Chargers or the Broncos. Which one you

1330
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 2: think is more dangerous as a wild card in the playoffs?

1331
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 10: All right? That is a great question.

1332
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: I know this is easy to me.

1333
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 3: You know.

1334
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 11: I want to say the Chargers because Justin Herbert, and

1335
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 11: he is the quarterback, you know who, he can do

1336
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 11: anything with the football. Having said that, I think Bo

1337
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 11: Nickson in the Broncos might be a little bit more

1338
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 11: dangerous because you don't exactly know what to expect.

1339
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 10: I think c J.

1340
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 11: Stroud caught a lot of people off guard in the playoffs.

1341
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 11: They didn't have a ton of film on him and

1342
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 11: allowed him to have the game he has. So I think,

1343
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 11: in my opinion, I think the Broncos this year are

1344
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 11: a little bit more dangerous in the Chargers.

1345
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Bo Nicks is playing with house money

1346
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 2: at this point, and that's a guy that you know,

1347
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 2: you're like going to the playoff game, all right, like

1348
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 2: he doesn't know any better, Justin Herbert going to playff

1349
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 2: games like Okay, I haven't done it.

1350
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: Means you're five.

1351
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 3: But he's got horror Bob pounded shoulder pads before the game.

1352
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 3: Getting them all fired is a c joint, dude. Yeah,

1353
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 3: I know, he's gotta be careful. Jathan, though I said

1354
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 3: the Chargers. I said Chargers, Yeah, because what I understand

1355
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 3: the Broncos completely. Yeah, I understand it too, But I'm

1356
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 3: not gonna say Sean Payton's overrated. He's a hell of

1357
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 3: a coach, right, But you win that one Super Bowl, man,

1358
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 3: you get a lot of grace for the rest of

1359
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 3: your career. Harbaugh Peyton. The list goes on, Jonathan, what

1360
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 3: do you have going on in the chronicle?

1361
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, I got a story on Kaylin Bullock and Kamara

1362
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 11: Laster and how the two rookie defensive backs have leaned

1363
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 11: on each other to you know, form one of the

1364
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 11: better defenses in the league, and so that would be

1365
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 11: in Sunday's paper.

1366
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: Cool, Jonathan, thanks a lot, Thanks.

1367
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 10: For having me.

1368
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 2: Tree mendus stuff right there from Jonathan Alexander follow him

1369
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 2: on Twitter. John Joen Joen not like me, Jhen j

1370
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 2: O N m Alexander, j O N m Alexander.

1371
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: All right, we get back. There are a lot of

1372
01:01:56,240 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 1: football games this weekend. Not many college games, so I

1373
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 1: might just pick those.

1374
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 2: I think there's one Bowl game then arguably the greatest

1375
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 2: rivalry in all of sports. And then it's next week

1376
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 2: where you got all kinds of football stuff going on.

1377

Speaker 2: I mean, you do have high school football games and

1378
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 2: all that, but I'm focusing on NFL this weekend. A

1379
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 2: ton of big games, including the battle for the state

1380
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 2: of Pennsylvania that is gonna be an all timer. I'm

Speaker 2: gonna pick them straight up and against the spread for fun.

01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 2: go to battle. This is when I go to football

1390
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 2: picking games, war if you will, and pick NFL games,

1391
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 2: which is certainly not the easiest thing in the world

1392
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 2: to do. Trust me, if you get the fifty percent

1393
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 2: you feel could because it's tough, it's hard.

1394
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 1: I probably would have missed last night's game.

1395
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 2: I'm almost pretty sure I would have missed last night's

1396
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 2: game because the forty nine Ers I believe were favorite.

1397
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: No, I can't fight exactly. I thought it would be

1398
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 1: down here, but I can't see it either way.

1399
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 2: The Rams gonna win Rams with a eight and six

1400
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 2: and if the forty nine Ers fall to six and eighth.

1401
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 2: Big story to come out of this game obviously, other

1402
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 2: than the Rams winning maybe two games up on the

1403
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,920
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers. Devondre Campbell ducking out before the end

1404
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 2: of the game and boy that there are some things

1405
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 2: that will that will get my goat if you will,

1406
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 2: as the phrase goes, but that's one of them. Man.

1407
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 2: Just you gotta be there for your teammates. I mean,

1408
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 2: it's as simple as that. You can't quit in the

1409
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 2: middle of a game.

1410
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: You can't.

1411
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 2: Vonte Davis did it, but they took him out and

1412
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 2: he just saw him done. He didn't Buffalo and he

1413
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 2: just retired on the spot. This a little different. Vondre

1414
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 2: Campbell has been kind of a as you started finding

1415
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 2: out on Friday, he had had kind of issues and

1416
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 2: places like Atlanta on Green Bay and you wonder why

1417
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 2: a guy that's so physically gifted is bouncing around so much. Well,

1418
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 2: maybe we just found out on Thursday night. But Rams win,

1419
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 2: Rams win. So let's talk about the rest of these games.

1420
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:23,439
Speaker 1: Now. I will forewarn you the noon slate is EH.

1421
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 2: But whenever that's been the case, or whenever we think

1422
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 2: that's the case, or I think that's the case, we

1423
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 2: get some pretty Rockstar type games. Now I'm trying to

1424
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 2: figure out where the Rockstar game comes in this group,

1425
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 2: but I don't know. Let's just go through them and

1426
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 2: see we find out the Ravens are going to the Giants.

1427
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 2: Every game this week is a single digit spread except

1428
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 2: for one.

1429
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 1: I think. I'm pretty sure I thought so.

1430
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 2: They want to make sure. Yeah, I'm not speaking our turn.

1431
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 2: Only one is a double digit spread. It's the Baltimore

1432
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 2: Ravens on the road by sixteen. They're in MetLife on

1433
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 2: the Road, favored by sixteen. And you know what, I'm

1434
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 2: laying them all. I'm taking the Ravens to win and

1435
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 2: cover that game. The Giants are banged up, They're going

1436
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 2: back to Tommy DeVito.

1437
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 1: That ain't gonna work. Ravens are gonna win this thing.

1438
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: Thirty eight to ten.

1439
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 2: That's enough to cover to sixteen and get the Ravens

1440
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 2: a ninth win as they prep for that Saturday Christmas swing.

1441
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 2: Like the Texans, the Ravens will take on the Steelers

1442
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 2: when we take on the Chiefs, and then obviously the

1443
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 2: Ravens will be Christmas Day in an Archie Stadium.

1444
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:42,840
Speaker 1: Raven's gonna win this. They're gonna win it by more

1445
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 1: than sixteen.

1446
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 2: Jets Jaguars Cole Boy Jaguars with Mac Jones at the

1447
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 2: Helm Aaron Rodgers.

1448
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1449
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 2: I think the Jets last week lost to the Dolphins.

1450
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 2: They looked at times disinterested, but the offense was the ball.

1451
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the Jets to win this thing.

1452
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 2: They're favorite by three and a half on the road.

1453
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick him the win by touchdown, so I'll

1454
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 2: cover that three and a half. Let's go Jets beat

1455
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 2: the Jaguars. Cowboys coming off hey gut punch loss on

1456
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 2: Monday Night taking on the Panthers. Panthers playing well, they

1457
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 2: had a gut punch loss. They were in that game

1458
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 2: against Philadelphia. Should have won that game at Philadelphia. The

1459
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 2: Xavier to get come up with one catch at the

1460
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 2: end of the game, but he didn't. Panthers are favored

1461
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 2: by three I think the Cowboys are gonna go to Carolina.

1462
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 1: I think Cowboys are gonna win this game.

1463
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,959
Speaker 2: It's gonna be close, but with Carolina favored, I still

1464
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 2: think Dallas is gonna win this game. So they win

1465
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 2: gets them a cover. So that should be a fun game.

1466
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 2: I think that would be a good game. Commander's taking

1467
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 2: on the Saints. Commander's eight and five Saints five and eight.

1468
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 2: Washington's fair by seven and a half in New Orleans.

1469
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 2: Jake Hayner is gonna start for the Saints. I think

1470
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 2: Washington comes through wins this, but not by more than

1471
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 2: seven and a half. I think the Commanders do win

1472
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:57,479
Speaker 2: on the road, but the Saints will get a cover.

1473
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 2: In the Brian Callahan Bowl in Nashville, Cincinatti, Bengals go

1474
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 2: back on the road. After a Monday night game on

1475
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 2: the road, they go back on the road on Sunday

1476
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 2: to take on a.

1477
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:09,439
Speaker 1: Titans sin Satta's favored by five and a half.

1478
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,439
Speaker 2: I think that's a tough thing to do Monday night road,

1479
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 2: Sunday night road, or Sunday road, especially Sunday noon road.

1480
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 2: I think the Bengals will win, but I think the

1481
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 2: Titans will keep this thing within five and a half somehow, Someway,

1482
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 2: I just don't like that Monday night Sunday afternoon.

1483
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 1: That's tough.

1484
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 2: So I think the Bengals will struggle with that a

1485
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 2: little bit, and the Titans will. They'll be in this

1486
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 2: game for a while. In the end, the Bengals will

1487
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 2: win this by four. Titans gonna cover.

1488
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 1: Bengals like to win.

1489
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 2: Chiefs Browns should be fun, but Jamis, you never know.

1490
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 2: Chiefs are faired by four and a half. I think

1491
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 2: Brown's gonna keep this thing close until the end of

1492
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 2: the Chiefs are gonna win by seven. Chiefs will move

1493
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 2: to thirteen and one. But cheering for the Browns in

1494
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:54,400
Speaker 2: this one, didn't think I would say that, Dan. We

1495
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 2: have the afternoon games. We've got Colts taken on the Broncos.

1496
01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 2: Broncos are favored by five, and I don't like picking

1497
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 2: against my heart of my head, and my heart and

1498
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 2: my head want the Broncos to win. So picking the

1499
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 2: Broncos to win. They're gonna win, but not cover. It's

1500
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 2: gonna be a three to four point game. Broncos are

1501
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 2: fair by five. Colts cover, Broncos win. Patriots taking on

1502
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 2: the Cardinals in Arizona. I think Arizona last week that

1503
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:22,600
Speaker 2: was a real shot to the g Nuts against the

1504
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 2: Seahawks did not play well at home. Seahawks pretty much

1505
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 2: dominated all the way throughout. I think Phoenix. I think

1506
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 2: Arizona responds, gets a win, wins this thing by ten.

1507
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 2: In the Monte Austin Fort Bowl, Cardinals moved to seven

1508
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 2: and seven and stay alive in the NFC West Race.

1509
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 2: Ain't getna cover the game of the day, well one

1510
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 2: of them anyways. The Bills taking on the Lions in Detroit.

1511
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 2: Let's go Lions. Lions are fair by two and a half.

1512
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 2: I think the Lions will get this win. The Bills

1513
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 2: been dealing with some weather. They didn't practice on Thursday.

1514
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 2: I think the Lions get them, which would be great

1515
01:08:57,960 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 2: for us. That would get them to ten. The Bills

1516
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,200
Speaker 2: and ten and the lines to thirteen and one. So

1517
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 2: Lions win and cover at two and a half. Buccaneers

1518
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 2: taking on the Chargers. Buccaneers are all kinds of banked up.

1519
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 2: I think the Chargers, favored by three, will win this

1520
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 2: by seven to ten because of how banked up Tampa

1521
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 2: Bay is. Tampa Bay moves back to seven and seven.

1522
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 2: Steelers taking on Eagles in the Battle of Pennsylvania. It's

1523
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 2: a fantastic football game, but I think the Eagles are

1524
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 2: just that much better than the Steelers. They are favored

1525
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 2: by five and a half. I think they will win

1526
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 2: this by nine thirty four to twenty five. Eagles win

1527
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 2: and cover at home. The Packers and Seahawks a fantastic

1528
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 2: football game, Packers at Seattle. You never know what's gonna

1529
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 2: happen when Green Bay goes to Seattle. I'm gonna go

1530
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:45,880
Speaker 2: with the Seahawks in a mild upset. Green Bay's favored

1531
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 2: by two and a half. Seahawks win and cover. We'll

1532
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 2: save the two Monday night games for our Monday show. Bears, Vikings, Falcons, Raiders.

1533
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:54,639
Speaker 2: Gives me the weekend to think.

1534
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: But there you go.

1535
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 2: You're big, straight up and against the spread. It is Friday,

1536
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 2: and it's always a feel good Friday, and that means

1537
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 2: Demiko Ryans. He's next in Texas All Access. We have

1538
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:07,639
Speaker 2: had a fabulous show on a Friday evening, wet, rainy

1539
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:11,599
Speaker 2: kind of kind of day, but in less than forty

1540
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 2: eight hours you're Houston Texans step on Energy Stadium turf

1541
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 2: for the first time since Oh Gosh, was the Tennessee

1542
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 2: game the last game?

1543
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,720
Speaker 1: Eh, that's just a little man. I don't like that

1544
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:27,560
Speaker 1: at all. But yeah, that was the last time we

1545
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:29,680
Speaker 1: were at Energy Stadium. Oh, now that it hits me,

1546
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 1: we've lost the last two at home, haven't we?

1547

Speaker 2: The Lions that was the previous game at Energy Stadium

1548
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:39,559
Speaker 2: and then the Titans. Gob we've lost the last two

1549
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:42,560
Speaker 2: Energy Stadium. We had made Energy Stadium a house of

1550
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 2: horse for people.

1551
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:46,639
Speaker 1: We had won a ton of games in a row

1552
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 1: minus the Browns game.

1553
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 2: We were winning a lot of games in a row

1554
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 2: from that Jacksonville lost in week twelve to twenty twenty

1555
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 2: three until that Browns game.

1556
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: Take that one out. We want a lot of games

1557
01:10:59,120 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: at home.

1558
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:01,280

1559
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 2: Bill's at home, beat the Colts at home.

1560
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 1: In fact, we were one two.

1561
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 2: We were four and zero at home and then lost

1562
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:11,360
Speaker 2: that game to Detroit on Sunday night, then lost to Tennessee.

1563

01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:12,680
Speaker 1: How much did you unplug?

1585
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 4: Not much? No, No, It's definitely refreshing.

Speaker 6: It's good to be back, Excited to be back out

1587
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 6: on the grass with the guys and just filling that buzz,

1588
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:24,560
Speaker 6: feeling the energy from our guys for me, you know,

1589
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 6: tried to unplug a little bit, but it was just hard.

1590
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 6: It's hard for me not to come into office and unploy.

1591
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 6: It did get a chance to spend a lot of

1592
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 6: time with the family, like sitting in the car lines

1593
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 6: a lot, driving the kids to and from school, having

1594
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 6: conversations with them. That's the one damn most thankful for

1595
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 6: just being able to spend more quality time with them

1596
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:46,400
Speaker 6: throughout the break, and that was that was very beneficial

1597
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:48,760
Speaker 6: for me. Joy is just to be around them as

1598
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:49,439
Speaker 6: much as I could.

1599
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:51,640
Speaker 1: That could be productive time in the car lines, right,

1600
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 1: you know.

1601
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 6: Doubt get you get a lot of great questions, a

1602
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 6: lot of great conversations in the car line.

1603
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:59,000
Speaker 2: I'm telling you kids at your age, the kids of

1604
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 2: your age, they can come up with some questions.

1605
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 1: May go, hey, man, I thought about that. Okay, maybe

1606
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 1: I need to take that under advisement.

1607
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 2: Coach, When you walked in and you talk to your

1608
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:10,960

01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:14,559
Speaker 2: bye week, could you sense like, oh, yeah, we definitely

1610
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,679
Speaker 2: needed that. Buy like your players coming in there feeling refreshed,

1611
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 2: revitalized this late in the year, because I know it

1612
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 2: felt like everybody we talked to, man, we were done

1613
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:25,640
Speaker 2: with Jacksonville's like, oh man, we need this buy did

1614
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 2: you kind of sense that when guys walked in, like

01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:29,799
Speaker 2: they look refreshed, they look ready to go exactly?

1616
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 6: That's That's exactly what I felt stepping into the team

1617
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 6: meeting seeing the guys, you know, down lifting this morning,

1618
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,320

1619
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:41,960
Speaker 6: getaway and now it's man, I feel that also that's

1620
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 6: in some urgency like Okay, now it's time to get

1621
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 6: to work, time to go. Now it's time to go,

01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 6: I'm man, I'm excited to be back fill them back

1624
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:55,720
Speaker 6: and just like how I'm also so excited for just

1625
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 6: how much better we can play, just watching some of

1626
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 6: our our tape over the just seeing how much better

1627
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 6: we can play. We execute the right way and we

1628
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 6: play together as a team. Like so I'm excited to

1629
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 6: see us continued, even at this point of the season,

1630
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 6: have opportunity to grow get better, like I'm excited for it.

1631
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 3: Coach, As you've had some time to reflect, what about

1632
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:17,600
Speaker 3: team identity? How important is that and how do you

1633
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 3: see it with the Texans heading into these final four

1634
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 3: games of the regular season.

1635
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:25,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, with our identity, right, it's still that swarm mentality

1636
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:29,720
Speaker 6: from our offense, defense, and special teams. That's who we are, right,

1637
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 6: And that's just operating with precision. That's the first and foremost.

1638
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 6: Like when I talk about precision, it's just everybody being

1639
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 6: on all the small details of your job, being exactly

1640
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:41,919
Speaker 6: where you're supposed to be. Like when we operate with precision,

1641
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 6: then we play with exceptional effort, like and I see

1642
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:49,879
Speaker 6: that identity. It shows up at times for us, you know, honestly,

1643
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 6: but I want to see it more consistently.

1644
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:52,599
Speaker 4: Like the effort.

1645
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 6: A lot of big plays gotten out on us, especially

1646
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:58,320
Speaker 6: defensively because the effort wasn't all the way like it

1647
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:00,160
Speaker 6: needed to be. So we need to pick up that

1648
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 6: part of the effort. And then the physicality piece, like

1649
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:04,519
Speaker 6: we want to be the most physical team when we

1650
01:15:04,600 --> 01:15:07,599
Speaker 6: step on the field, and that's who we're becoming, right,

1651
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:10,200
Speaker 6: And it's always still a process as you go throughout

1652
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 6: the season of being playing with precision, effort and physicality.

1653
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 6: That's so that's who we are, right and we show

1654
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:18,320
Speaker 6: it at times. We just have to be it consistently.

1655
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 2: You've rubbed off on me in a sense coach, because

1656
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:23,080
Speaker 2: I'll watch college games now and I know that's kind

1657
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:24,760
Speaker 2: of off in the distance, but I watch a guy

1658
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:27,600
Speaker 2: that go is he swarm? Like that's what That's what

1659
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 2: I want to know, Like I don't care, like I

1660
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,600
Speaker 2: don't care how good player is, but like can he

1661
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 2: fit here?

1662
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 1: Like that swarm.

1663
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 2: Mentality is like, but I want to see in every

1664
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 2: player that you have going forward, So you definitely rubbed

1665
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:44,600
Speaker 2: off from that perspective. Miami's coming up, and man, I

1666
01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:46,640
Speaker 2: don't even tell you the fast there's something you did

1667
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 2: talk about the press conference. But even it's a coordinator

1668
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 2: facing a team that's that fast. I know it sounds obvious, like,

1669
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 2: well they're fast or they can run by you. What

1670
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:58,559
Speaker 2: are the biggest issues when you're facing a team that's

1671
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:01,439
Speaker 2: got that kind of explosive ability, Like in a snap,

1672
01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 2: they could take one to the house, no matter where

1673
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 2: the ball is, where it's throwing out, it's handed all that.

1674
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, the biggest thing is going to come down to,

1675
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 6: like at the point of attack, when it's time to tackle,

1676
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:12,200
Speaker 6: Like you think you're there, but you have to take

1677
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 6: that extra step. And our guys just really have to

1678
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:17,639
Speaker 6: realize this week like I need to take that extra step.

1679
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 6: And it's okay if you shoot your gun and you miss,

1680
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:22,839
Speaker 6: because if everybody is swarming and running to the football,

1681
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 6: then we don't really worry about the miss the missed

1682
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 6: tackles or you can't be concerned or word, oh if

1683
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,840
Speaker 6: I miss him, nobody, No, everybody's going to be around

1684
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 6: the football. You just go and shoot your shoot your shot,

1685
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 6: and when you shoot, you may just make the guy hesitate,

1686
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:39,599
Speaker 6: and that's all we need. We need a guy to hesitate,

1687
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 6: so all the other ten guys can come and swarm

1688
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 6: the ball, carry and try to take the ball away

1689
01:16:44,320 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 6: from But the speed if you you mess around or

1690
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:49,519
Speaker 6: you miss, like they just have the ability, especially the

1691
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 6: receiver where they can take a slant to the house

1692
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 6: to back a chain and do a really good job

1693
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 6: in the screen game getting him a football, and he

1694
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 6: can take a screen and he has that explosive speed

1695
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 6: to take it all the way to the house. So

1696
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 6: that's where the speed shows up.

1697
01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 3: What's the key in defending a screen since we're on

1698
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 3: the subject here, because sometimes guys, you.

1699
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 1: Know, they do get fooled, right, but you can't be fooled,

1700
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 1: but you got to be ready for anything. So how

1701
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 1: do you handle it right?

1702
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 6: The key to the screen is first off D line,

1703
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:18,600
Speaker 6: having great awareness right when you're not blocked, you have

1704
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 6: to be able to stop in your tracks and just

1705
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:24,559
Speaker 6: turn and follow the offensive lineman. So the offensive lineman

1706
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:26,560
Speaker 6: who just left you always say you get in his

1707
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 6: hip pocket and you track him and he's gonna take

1708
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 6: you directly to the football. That's one key with the

1709
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 6: D line. And then on the perimeter, like whether you're

1710
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 6: in zone coverage or man coverage, we have to have

1711
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 6: the edge set at the numbers. So you want to

1712
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:41,599
Speaker 6: have the ed set at the numbers, and you want

1713
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:44,200
Speaker 6: to force that guy back into our D lineman who

1714
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,679
Speaker 6: should be chasing the hip. You force him back into

1715
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 6: the D lineman. That's when you get the big hits

1716
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 6: on the screen. But a lot of times when the

1717
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 6: screen gets out, D linemen are way too far upfield,

1718
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 6: there's no edge set on the perimeter and a guy

1719
01:17:57,240 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 6: can you get explosive play after explosive play on it?

1720
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 2: Coach, I know it was twenty twenty three, but you

1721
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:05,640
Speaker 2: did face these guys in practice at least and in

1722
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 2: a preseason game, and I know you can't get a

1723
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 2: lot out of the preseason game at that particular point,

1724
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:13,080
Speaker 2: but going against him in practice just to kind of

1725
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 2: fuel that speed. I know Waddle didn't participate, but Tyreek

1726
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 2: was there and feeling his speed and knowing his speed

1727
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:21,600
Speaker 2: and changing your angle as a player, like, hey, I know,

1728
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 2: if Ten's got the ball, I might not need to

1729
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 2: be here.

1730
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 1: I might need to beat him here.

1731
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:28,240
Speaker 2: Does that help that you guys have at least faced

1732
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 2: him to at least be on the same field to

1733
01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:30,800
Speaker 2: kind of fuel that speed.

1734
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 4: I think it helps a little bit. But at the end,

1735
01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:35,679
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, you're like, it's.

1736
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 6: So long ago where we have a lot of different

1737
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 6: guys who are here now that they have to actually

1738
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 6: go out and do it.

1739
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 4: And I think we have.

1740
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 6: I know we have the guys with the right mentality,

1741
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 6: especially on the edge, like with Kamari and Stain.

1742
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:49,080
Speaker 4: We just have to play physical at the.

1743
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 6: Line of scrimmage when we give the opportunity to we

1744
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 6: have to play physical at the line of scrimmints to

1745
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 6: try to slow down Waddle and heal well.

1746
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:58,280
Speaker 1: With Hill, Let's get into him a little bit because

1747
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:00,120
Speaker 1: it's unique. It seems like you.

1748
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 3: Could throw the ball as far as possible, and he's

1749
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:03,800
Speaker 3: gonna find a way to track it down.

1750
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 1: His ball location skills are outstanding.

1751
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:07,280
Speaker 4: Its yeah, it's ball.

1752
01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 6: I mean it's off the charts when you look at

1753
01:19:10,040 --> 01:19:12,839
Speaker 6: like how many catches as he made looking over his shoulder.

1754
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,640
Speaker 6: He's an exceptional talent, right, and he's one of the

1755
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 6: best receivers in this league, has been the best since

1756
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 6: he's been in the NFL.

1757
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:24,599
Speaker 4: Like, just play after play, he has a high lights show. Right.

1758
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 6: You try to eliminate those highlights by playing in physical

1759
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 6: and getting on him as much as you can. He's

1760
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 6: gonna get touches, he's gonna get plays.

1761
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 4: But we can't.

1762
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 6: You know, you can't lose our mind if he makes

1763
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 6: a big play, right, Like, it's not out of the norm,

1764
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 6: that's what he does. But you kiss can't allow that

1765
01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:41,719
Speaker 6: big play to go for six.

1766
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, how about that mindset, coach, Because it's almost like basketball.

1767
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 3: The other team's gonna score some baskets, right, They're gonna

1768
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 3: get theirs, but you have to.

1769
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 1: Limit it as much as possible and maintain your attitude.

1770
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:55,600
Speaker 6: The biggest thing is you have to limit the explosive

1771
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:58,839
Speaker 6: plays with these guys, So you know, limited our safeties

1772
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 6: will play a big role in this game. Like when

1773
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 6: the play, if it does happen to break, we don't

1774
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 6: want it to break. But if a play does break,

1775
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 6: our safeties have to do a great job what we

1776
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:12,320
Speaker 6: call erasing at play from our defense, and that's erasing

1777
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:15,439
Speaker 6: it by not allowing points. So safeties have to play

1778
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 6: big this game. Corners have to play big and if

1779
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 6: we get the opportunity, the ball comes out so quick.

1780
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,439
Speaker 6: But if we get the opportunity to rush our d

1781
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:26,120
Speaker 6: Lin could play a big factor in his game. But

1782
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 6: it's always going to start with the coverage and being

1783
01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:30,200
Speaker 6: tight and coverage versus their receivers.

1784
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 2: Coach we've just taken over as defensive coordinator for Miami

1785
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 2: has done a nice job thus far. It feels like

1786
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:38,679
Speaker 2: the secondary has got some athletes. They got some dudes

1787
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:40,599
Speaker 2: that can move. Javon Holland is one of my favorites

1788
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 2: a few years ago.

1789
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 1: What he can do for them.

1790
01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 2: Jay Ramsey on one side, but up front they got

1791
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 2: a few guys that can move. Syler inside as a

1792
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:50,200
Speaker 2: guy that can do some things. What do you see

1793
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 2: with that Miami defense that CJ and the offense will

1794
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 2: have to contend with the most.

1795
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 6: First and foremost, we have to contain with their d line,

1796
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:00,320
Speaker 6: bigger defensive line. They'll have a five down front, bigger

1797
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:02,559
Speaker 6: line that we have to contain with a lot of power.

1798
01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 6: Siler does a good job inside, and you have Tom

1799
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 6: Robinson who has to speed coming off the edge and

1800
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 6: Rookie who's figuring it out.

1801
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:11,439
Speaker 4: Playing some productive snaps for him.

1802
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 6: But I think for us offensively, you know, we have

1803
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:18,479
Speaker 6: to find find those find that spot in the middle

1804
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,120
Speaker 6: of their defense, and I think that's where the linebackers

1805
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 6: think we can kind of make some plays in the

1806
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 6: middle of the field outside and then and in the

1807
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:29,280
Speaker 6: deep end. Holland, as you mentioned, he's an exceptional talent,

1808
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 6: really young player who's ascending, playing really well. Ramsey All Pro.

1809
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:36,920
Speaker 6: He's been productive player for every year of his career.

1810
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:38,679
Speaker 6: He's been one of the best corners in the league.

1811
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,280
Speaker 6: But we have to move our guys around right, make

1812
01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:44,000
Speaker 6: them communicate on defense, and we still have to try

1813
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 6: to expose the middle.

1814
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 4: Of the field.

1815
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 3: Anthony was a big free agent signing when you were

1816
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:50,680
Speaker 3: a player here, What are your memories of playing on

1817
01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:51,760
Speaker 3: the same defense with him.

1818
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 6: I remember Anthony Man, He's always big smile always. He

1819
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 6: was always a fun guy to be around, a great teammate.

1820
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 6: He always always liked to have a good time, So

1821
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 6: I always enjoyed being around Weave him being a veteran

1822
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 6: as a guy that I looked up to. He played

1823
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:12,400
Speaker 6: the game the right way, always respecting him for what

1824
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:15,400
Speaker 6: he's done, and just see him getting the coaching always

1825
01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:17,960
Speaker 6: followed him, and he's done a really great job everywhere

1826
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 6: he's being coaching, and just to see the improvement that

1827
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 6: they made defensively throughout the year, could have been more

1828
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:25,840
Speaker 6: proud of Weave and the job that he's done. Hopefully

1829
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 6: he's up for one of his head coaching jobs that

1830
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:31,320
Speaker 6: comes around at the end of this year. And me

1831
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:33,479
Speaker 6: and we've also shared the same birthday, so that was

1832
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 6: our like instant connection birthday brothers. So we's done a

1833
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 6: great job.

1834
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 1: Tay coaches a little older.

1835
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 4: He's a little yeah, he's a little little older.

1836
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:51,640
Speaker 2: Offensively, Nico Collins being back, Tank being back, what do

1837
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:53,880
Speaker 2: you want to see from your offense going forward? Because

1838
01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:56,400
Speaker 2: against Jacksonville felt like in the second half he started

1839
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:58,280
Speaker 2: to see some of those moments like Okay, I like

1840
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 2: I like seeing this. Then Joe finishing the game, run

1841
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 2: the football. We talked about Miami's defense and where they

1842
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:05,559
Speaker 2: could be vulnerable. What do you want to see from

1843
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:09,320
Speaker 2: CJ and the offense just from a Texan standpoint, regardless

1844
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 2: who's on the other side, whether it's any of these

1845
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 2: next four teams, But what do you want to see

1846
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 2: from the offense going forward?

1847
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:18,679
Speaker 6: For me, all I want to see us is move

1848
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 6: the ball, get positive yards, right, however that looks if

1849
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,759
Speaker 6: it's passing the football, that's what we lean heavy passing,

1850
01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 6: that's what it is, right, just continuing to gain positive yards.

1851
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 6: When we have to run it, and we can find

1852
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:32,600
Speaker 6: a way to run the ball, let's do it. But

1853
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:36,800
Speaker 6: it's to me, it's just operating and playing fast, operating

1854
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:39,479
Speaker 6: with that execution that I speak of, Like, if we're

1855
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 6: have a guy open, let's hit him right if it's

1856
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 6: not there, how quickly can we get the ball to

1857
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:47,040
Speaker 6: our checkdown and let's let our playmakers get the ball

1858
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 6: in their hand and allow them to make plays. But

1859
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:52,639
Speaker 6: I just want to see us operating as efficient as possible,

1860
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:55,799
Speaker 6: getting the ball out quickly and also being just efficient

1861
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 6: in the run game. No negative plays, no tackles for losses.

1862
01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 6: How can we continue to press forward as always talk

1863
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:04,800
Speaker 6: to our offense about it's pressing forward. That's how we

1864
01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 6: get out of the third and long situations that we

1865
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:10,320
Speaker 6: find ourselves in. Just if we handle protection the right way,

1866
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:13,839
Speaker 6: eliminate the negative plays, and just play fast on offense,

1867
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 6: no matter who we play, coming down the stretch will

1868
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:16,800
Speaker 6: be in a good spot.

1869
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 3: Coach and your experience coming off of BUYE, is there

1870
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:21,760
Speaker 3: a common theme like you do get a little extra

1871
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:22,759
Speaker 3: boost of energy.

1872
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,160
Speaker 1: Is there any rust? Is there anything to watch out for?

1873
01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 1: What can you tell us about that.

1874
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:30,639
Speaker 6: It's with the Uban in so many different different parts

1875
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:32,760
Speaker 6: of the season. I've had them early, had them late.

1876
01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:35,560
Speaker 6: You just want to make sure guys are getting For me,

1877
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 6: it's getting back to making sure you put the pads on,

1878
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:41,800
Speaker 6: get back used to the past and playing physical. Because

1879
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:43,679
Speaker 6: you get away from that, you can kind of show

1880
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:46,799
Speaker 6: up in games where the tackling it may be an issue.

1881
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 6: So I want to tack that head on to make

1882
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:52,799
Speaker 6: sure we're over emphasizing just putting body on body, wrapping

1883
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 6: up and tackling. But I think the energy to speed

1884
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 6: everything will be there, just a matter of just being

1885
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 6: efficient with the tackling that's the one part that I've

1886
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:02,240
Speaker 6: seen lacking.

1887
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 4: When you come off a biweek.

1888
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:06,200
Speaker 2: Coach, a couple of guys come back to practice, potentially

1889
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:09,200
Speaker 2: Christian Harris being back, Kenyan Green. Can you speak to

1890
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 2: what they may be able to bring, whether it's this week,

1891
01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,240
Speaker 2: next week, or maybe down the road a little bit.

1892
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:16,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean getting in a Christian has been out

1893
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:17,200
Speaker 4: for a while.

1894
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:19,759
Speaker 6: We missed him. He's missed a lot of football. Unfortunate

1895
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 6: injury that happened to him. But I'm just proud of

1896
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 6: the way he's persevered. It's been a long road and

1897
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 6: I'm happy to see him just back out there today.

1898
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 6: Seeing a forty eight on the field, it's encouraging and

1899
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 6: I'm excited for him and what he brings. He brings

1900
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:37,320
Speaker 6: that speed and physicality to our defense. You talk about

1901
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:40,759
Speaker 6: a swarm mentality like that's Christian. He's gonna fly around,

1902
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:45,160
Speaker 6: He's gonna play sideline the sideline, and that's what that's

1903
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:47,840
Speaker 6: what we need in our defense. A guy like him

1904
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:50,720
Speaker 6: who can play soil on the sideline, it's all over

1905
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:53,200
Speaker 6: the field. He can take the football away so he

1906
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:55,680
Speaker 6: can be an impact player for us. And as soon

1907
01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:58,320
Speaker 6: as he gets back out on the field. Kenyan, this guy,

1908
01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:00,680
Speaker 6: you know, he started for us for a while there

1909
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:02,960
Speaker 6: and he has some good reps. You know, Keane has

1910
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 6: been up and down, but we know the good one

1911
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 6: is good.

1912
01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:06,280
Speaker 5: It'll be good.

1913
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 6: He's a physical guy. He can move people in the

1914
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:10,679
Speaker 6: run game. Just has to clean up some of the protection.

1915
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:13,840
Speaker 6: We'll see how he continues to progress throughout the week.

1916
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:16,720
Speaker 6: See how you know he comes back and if he's

1917
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 6: ready to get back out there, and I think he

1918
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:19,400
Speaker 6: can help us.

1919
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:22,160
Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you a question about defense going

1920
01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:24,720
Speaker 3: into a game, and not this particular game, but in

1921
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:26,960
Speaker 3: general when you game plany, you'd love to get pressure

1922
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:29,040
Speaker 3: with the front four and not have to send anybody extra.

1923
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 3: Do you go into a game thinking I want to

1924
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 3: send extra people this game I might not, or and

1925
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:34,400
Speaker 3: it just on the fly.

1926
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 1: How do you handle that, coach?

1927
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I always like to have like my blitzes and

1928
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 6: different looks available. I always tell the coaches like, I

1929
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:44,960
Speaker 6: don't want to have to use these, so if I

1930
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 6: can go in and we can rush and win with

1931
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:51,080
Speaker 6: four like that's ideal for any defensive coordinator. When the

1932
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:53,759
Speaker 6: d lin is really humming up front and they're getting

1933
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:56,840
Speaker 6: at their offensive line, and I can deploy more guys

1934
01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:00,120
Speaker 6: and coverage and we can take some things away. If

1935
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,680
Speaker 6: you have to blitz, it just makes the look right

1936
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:05,799
Speaker 6: a lot easier for the quarterback. It cleans up the picture.

1937
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 6: He can see the one on one as much easier

1938
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 6: when you do blitz. So you are rolling the dice

1939
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 6: a little bit there, putting the coverage guys on the island,

1940
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:15,400
Speaker 6: so to speak. And they have to really make that

1941
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:17,800
Speaker 6: play or you have to make sure you're getting home.

1942
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 6: So we have to design them the right way to

1943
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:22,880
Speaker 6: get the ball out of the quarterback's hands quickly enough

1944
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:25,439
Speaker 6: so the defenders can't So the dbs can't make a

1945
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:25,880
Speaker 6: play on the.

1946
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:27,920
Speaker 4: Football if it's not designed right.

1947
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:29,800
Speaker 6: And I've had some of those where they weren't right

1948
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:32,200
Speaker 6: and the quarterback is able to hold on to the balls,

1949
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:33,840
Speaker 6: Like why did I call that?

1950
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:34,680
Speaker 8: You know?

1951
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:38,120
Speaker 6: So you have it's you know, pick your poison right

1952
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:42,360
Speaker 6: you have if you feel like you have a tail

1953
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 6: on an offense, you feel like you have their protection

1954
01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:47,560
Speaker 6: rules down and you can attack their protection and you

1955
01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 6: know for sure you can speed the quarterback up, then

1956
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:51,120
Speaker 6: let's get after it.

1957
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 4: But for me, I would like to rely on four

1958
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:54,719
Speaker 4: as much as I can.

1959
01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:56,519
Speaker 2: You you kind of took me down the road I

1960
01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:58,439
Speaker 2: was thinking about because I was thinking about this weekend,

1961
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:01,240
Speaker 2: be on the buy a lot of football on whether

1962
01:28:01,240 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 2: you're hanging with the kids, made the kid, you're just

1963
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 2: watching a game and you see something and I start

1964
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 2: thinking about, like you as a play caller, as a

1965
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:11,919
Speaker 2: defensive play caller, how have you how have you adjusted

1966
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:13,800
Speaker 2: or how have you evolved as a play caller? Like

1967
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:16,720
Speaker 2: you came in thinking you would be like this, but

1968
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:19,599
Speaker 2: maybe you lean more this way because of the talent

1969
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:21,599
Speaker 2: that you have or the talent you don't have. How

1970
01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:23,400
Speaker 2: you kind of change as a play caller over the

1971
01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 2: years and in particularly the last couple of years since

1972
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:25,960
Speaker 2: you've been here.

1973
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:28,720
Speaker 6: Each each year for me, you know, I kind of

1974
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:31,960
Speaker 6: go in thinking one one way of how I want

1975
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:35,519
Speaker 6: to be aggressive and you know, playing a tight man

1976
01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:39,240
Speaker 6: match coverage, and it just it continues, it evolves, I

1977
01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:44,320
Speaker 6: mean weekly, honestly, like who who's up on defense? Like

1978
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:47,479
Speaker 6: you know, injuries, playing a play a ton play a

1979
01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:49,840
Speaker 6: huge part in the what am I calling?

1980
01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 4: When am I calling it?

1981
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:53,840
Speaker 6: So it's just all based on personnel, right and trying

1982
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:56,160
Speaker 6: to make sure for me as a coordinator. When I

1983
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:57,880
Speaker 6: first started, I had an idea, Okay, this is what

1984
01:28:57,960 --> 01:29:01,679
Speaker 6: I'm running. This is and then as I continue to grow,

1985
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 6: I see like, man, just because you like running this,

1986
01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 6: it doesn't always work right. So you have to be

1987
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 6: able to adjust and adapt also adapt to offenses who

1988
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:13,280
Speaker 6: are changing and doing so many different things. Offenses they

1989
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:15,640
Speaker 6: get your rules down on defense and they start to

1990
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:18,120
Speaker 6: attack you and exploit you. So now you have to

1991
01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:20,479
Speaker 6: kind of play a step, be a step ahead, right

1992
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:23,479
Speaker 6: and play that chess match which guys. So most of

1993
01:29:23,600 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 6: the time is about the offensive coordinator who I'm going against.

1994
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:29,240
Speaker 4: And how I want to move our guys around.

1995
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 6: And it also has to do with the personnel that

1996
01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:34,680
Speaker 6: I have defensively and who can I put in a

1997
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:37,320
Speaker 6: tough matchup and not be concerned with.

1998
01:29:37,640 --> 01:29:39,920
Speaker 2: So as you watching, as you're watching game, just any game,

1999
01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 2: and you're thinking, if I was facing that offense, do

2000
01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:43,720
Speaker 2: you kind of play that game as you watch it

2001
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:45,360
Speaker 2: just kind of the game is on, You're like, yo,

2002
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:48,719
Speaker 2: they do this, just kind of kind of challenging yourself,

2003
01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:50,640
Speaker 2: whether it's pro or college, Like, Hey, if I was

2004
01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 2: facing this, I think I would like to do this

2005
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:54,839
Speaker 2: against them. Do you kind of watch games that way always.

2006
01:29:54,880 --> 01:30:00,240
Speaker 6: I can't watch games the same. Yeah, always telling myself like, oh,

2007
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 6: they're about to run this. So it's like I'm always

2008
01:30:03,400 --> 01:30:06,280
Speaker 6: thinking about what they're doing and also offense, so I'm

2009
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:08,600
Speaker 6: looking like, man, oh that's a cool play. There's a

2010
01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 6: cool concept. I can see how they showed them one

2011
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:14,000
Speaker 6: thing and they played off of us. So I'm all

2012
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:17,639
Speaker 6: just enjoy the beauty of football and just the ins

2013
01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:19,840
Speaker 6: and out that a lot of people don't get to see.

2014
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:23,280
Speaker 6: So it's also probably hard to watch games with mean

2015
01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:25,719
Speaker 6: because I'm calling out, trying.

2016
01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:26,519
Speaker 4: To call out every play.

2017
01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:27,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just happened.

2018
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:29,680
Speaker 4: I can't help it.

2019
01:30:30,280 --> 01:30:32,280
Speaker 3: We haven't talked about this in a while, but what's

2020
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:34,280
Speaker 3: the latest on what's in your headset?

2021
01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 1: Because I think you've changed it. Maybe we talked about

2022
01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 1: it last year. But what are you hearing?

2023
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:41,000
Speaker 3: What can you share with the audience about what you hear,

2024
01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:43,559
Speaker 3: what you like to hear, because you can hear everybody,

2025
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:46,080
Speaker 3: but I got to imagine I don't want to hear everything,

2026
01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:48,040
Speaker 3: every little detail, So how does that work?

2027
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:49,600
Speaker 6: You can hear a lot of chatter, so I have

2028
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:51,920
Speaker 6: to make sure it's calmed down A little bit. But

2029
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:55,439
Speaker 6: for me, I'm hearing the personnel on the We have

2030
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:58,519
Speaker 6: our guys upstairs, they're giving me the offensive personnel. What

2031
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:02,320
Speaker 6: you know, is it eleven twelve, twenty one personnel and

2032
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:05,040
Speaker 6: we are making our calls and you know you hear

2033
01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:09,160
Speaker 6: you know, certain coaches are giving me Okay, these are

2034
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:12,160
Speaker 6: the these are the tendencies that they've had during these

2035
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:15,320
Speaker 6: personnel in these personnel groups, or how have I may ask,

2036
01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:17,559
Speaker 6: you know, how are these tendencies change throughout the game.

2037
01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:20,599
Speaker 6: So it's a lot of information that has running through

2038
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:21,880
Speaker 6: the headset and then oh, I.

2039
01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:22,800
Speaker 4: Do have to make a call.

2040
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:27,120
Speaker 6: So yeah, so it makes sometimes I'm into a little

2041
01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:29,280
Speaker 6: too late getting a call in. But you know, our

2042
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:31,400
Speaker 6: backers they do a great job. If I am late

2043
01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:34,799
Speaker 6: getting a call, we already know the go to calls.

2044
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:37,040
Speaker 6: We talked about them throughout the week, so they got

2045
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:38,880
Speaker 6: my back just in case I'm a little too late

2046
01:31:38,960 --> 01:31:41,439
Speaker 6: getting to them a call. But uh, there can be

2047
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:44,160
Speaker 6: a ton of information. I think I always want to

2048
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:47,080
Speaker 6: hear just what's beneficial in that moment. Like we can

2049
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:49,559
Speaker 6: blurret out a lot of things, but I won't only

2050
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:51,600
Speaker 6: want to hear something that's going to help me to

2051
01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:53,240
Speaker 6: put our guys in a favorable position.

2052
01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:58,160
Speaker 2: And along those lines, you only can talk to your

2053
01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:00,200
Speaker 2: you know who's ever got the communications on?

2054
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:01,360
Speaker 1: They can't talk back to you.

2055
01:32:01,800 --> 01:32:03,920
Speaker 2: So do they have ways that you know, hand signals

2056
01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 2: and things that they can send back to you, like

2057
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:06,519
Speaker 2: speaking sign language?

2058
01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:07,680
Speaker 1: Basically shake you off like.

2059
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 4: Some of them tried to.

2060
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:12,000
Speaker 1: They trying to shake me off.

2061
01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 4: But they give me a thumbs up every once in

2062
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:14,400
Speaker 4: a while.

2063
01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:17,559
Speaker 6: But they probably get tired of me because I'm if

2064
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:20,200
Speaker 6: I have enough time, Like I'm trying to give our guys, Hey,

2065
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:23,439
Speaker 6: this formation, this may come up. Man, It's like Demik,

2066
01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:26,360
Speaker 6: I have to talk to myself a lot. It's like Demiko,

2067
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:28,320
Speaker 6: relax and let them go play.

2068
01:32:28,439 --> 01:32:29,920
Speaker 1: When you were a player, what did you like in

2069
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:31,640
Speaker 1: your head in your head set when you're playing, Just.

2070
01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:33,960
Speaker 6: Give me the call and leave me alone. But now

2071
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:37,479
Speaker 6: I'm the opposite. I'm that guy now trying to give

2072
01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:38,639
Speaker 6: away too much information.

2073
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:41,800

2074

2152
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:07,880
Speaker 3: the GM. We talk about the next game, and that

2153
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:11,160
Speaker 3: would be the Miami Dolphins. But coming off the bye,

2154
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:13,880
Speaker 3: there were several subjects brought up. And don't worry, we'll

2155
01:36:13,880 --> 01:36:15,920
Speaker 3: get the Dolphins scouting report in here and a whole

2156
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:19,160
Speaker 3: bunch of stuff about Miami Sunday at noon at NRG Stadium.

2157
01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:21,920
Speaker 3: But what about the bye? Nick talked about time off.

2158
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:25,639
Speaker 3: We asked him various questions, including this one by Johnny

2159
01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:30,040
Speaker 3: on that possibility of rearranging the off season.

2160
01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:32,720
Speaker 2: Let's listen, there was some talk last year about kind

2161
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:36,120
Speaker 2: of moving the off season, kind of changing around, and

2162
01:36:36,160 --> 01:36:38,080
Speaker 2: I remember seeing a couple of things from scouts that

2163
01:36:38,080 --> 01:36:40,360
Speaker 2: were unnamed, like, man, if we lose that time, holy cow,

2164
01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:41,679
Speaker 2: when do we ever give view with our families.

2165
01:36:42,240 --> 01:36:44,679
Speaker 12: The one thing we all learned being the NFL, you'll

2166
01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:48,080
Speaker 12: adjust and adapt to whatever the situation. The circumstances are,

2167
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:51,000
Speaker 12: there will likely be some level of discussion in the

2168
01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:53,840
Speaker 12: off season about how to best structure it. So whatever

2169
01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:56,600
Speaker 12: the rules are, we'll be prepared for either way, and

2170
01:36:57,760 --> 01:37:00,080
Speaker 12: we adapt and adjust in this league. That's probably a

2171
01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:01,760
Speaker 12: hallmark of a lot of people that are doing this.

2172
01:37:02,080 --> 01:37:03,800
Speaker 3: All right, So not to ask for a state of

2173
01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:06,040
Speaker 3: the union here, Nick, but we're going into a really

2174
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 3: tough three games stretch, nothing more important than Sunday against

2175
01:37:09,080 --> 01:37:11,120
Speaker 3: the Miami Dolphins and coming off the buy What are

2176
01:37:11,200 --> 01:37:14,000
Speaker 3: your observations and thoughts as you embark on the final

2177
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:15,320
Speaker 3: four games of the regular season.

2178
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:17,479
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a good opportunity last week for the team

2179
01:37:17,640 --> 01:37:21,160
Speaker 12: to just really get away. Honestly, for our situation less

2180
01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:23,240
Speaker 12: was more so we didn't practice. We came in out

2181
01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:25,960
Speaker 12: on Monday, met went through some things, and it was

2182
01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:27,720
Speaker 12: really best for everybody to just kind of take a

2183
01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:30,400
Speaker 12: step away, kind of take inventory. Coaches, that an opportunity

2184
01:37:30,439 --> 01:37:31,760
Speaker 12: to go through some of the film, you do a

2185
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:33,320
Speaker 12: little bit of the self scout. What are some of

2186
01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:35,639
Speaker 12: the things that we talked about this even going into

2187
01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:37,680
Speaker 12: last week, What are some of the things that we've

2188
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:39,880
Speaker 12: done well, What can we improve upon, What are some

2189
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:42,080
Speaker 12: things that we might be able to implement on the margins.

2190
01:37:42,720 --> 01:37:44,680
Speaker 12: So teams in a good spot came in the other

2191
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:47,720
Speaker 12: day trying to treat normal Tuesday as a normal off

2192
01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:50,639
Speaker 12: day and then get back ready to go Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

2193
01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:52,960
Speaker 12: a normal week, if you will, and then once we

2194
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:54,920
Speaker 12: get through the Miami game, then the timing will be

2195
01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:56,560
Speaker 12: a little bit different. So all we can do is

2196
01:37:56,600 --> 01:37:59,560
Speaker 12: control was in front of us, which is Miami understanding.

2197
01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:01,240
Speaker 12: On the back end of that, we'll have to make

2198
01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:04,280
Speaker 12: some modifications and adjustments for the next few games.

2199
01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:07,000
Speaker 2: So Christian Harris Kenyan Green, you know that was a

2200
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:10,120
Speaker 2: little bit of a talking point about coming back to practice. Kenyan,

2201
01:38:10,160 --> 01:38:12,640
Speaker 2: we obviously have seen play this year. Christian, we have

2202
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:14,400
Speaker 2: not seen play this year. Last game we played was

2203
01:38:14,439 --> 01:38:15,599
Speaker 2: that game against the Ravens.

2204
01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:17,200
Speaker 10: It's a long time for.

2205
01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:20,000
Speaker 2: Your body to not be callous to the physicality of

2206
01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:23,160
Speaker 2: the NFL. Nick, what are your thoughts about just each

2207
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:25,599
Speaker 2: one of them and what they might possibly be able

2208
01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:27,320
Speaker 2: to bring and what they bring back to practice.

2209
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:29,479
Speaker 12: Anytime you're away from football, there's always going to be

2210
01:38:29,479 --> 01:38:32,120
Speaker 12: an adjustment period. So to your point, Kenyan has had

2211
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:34,759
Speaker 12: an opportunity to really went through training camp. He played

2212
01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:37,880
Speaker 12: eight to nine games, whatever it was, missed a period

2213
01:38:37,920 --> 01:38:40,960
Speaker 12: of time. We'll see where he is physically. Christian's just

2214
01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:43,160
Speaker 12: missed a lot of football, or no one's fault of

2215
01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:46,360
Speaker 12: anybody's fault. It's just a reality of where we are.

2216
01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:48,560
Speaker 12: So what we try to do when we prepare the

2217
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:51,640
Speaker 12: athlete is monitor as best we can their loads, what

2218
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:55,040
Speaker 12: they're going through. Are they physically ready for what a

2219
01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:58,800
Speaker 12: normal practice would look like. The game is a separate stimulus,

2220
01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:01,040
Speaker 12: So if in fact he is ready to play and

2221
01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:03,920
Speaker 12: does end up playing a game, that'll be another step.

2222
01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:06,479
Speaker 12: So nobody's gonna get everything back all at once. You

2223
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:09,200
Speaker 12: have to take proper steps along the way. Christian's had

2224
01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:11,439
Speaker 12: a good attitude despite what he's had to go through.

2225
01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:13,880
Speaker 12: We'll go through the week of practice, we'll evaluate it,

2226
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:15,400
Speaker 12: and then we'll try to make the decision that makes

2227
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:17,080
Speaker 12: the most sense for the team comes Sunday.

2228
01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:21,320
Speaker 2: You talked about this before about monitoring players. Is that

2229
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:23,880
Speaker 2: more week to week or is that more cumulative.

2230
01:39:25,080 --> 01:39:27,280
Speaker 12: It's twofold, Johnny, So we look at it during the

2231
01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:28,760
Speaker 12: course of the week. You're just trying to get e

2232
01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:31,639
Speaker 12: gauged of what a player's normal workload is. You kind

2233
01:39:31,680 --> 01:39:33,719
Speaker 12: of set a baseline and then you're able to evaluate

2234
01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:34,719
Speaker 12: that on a weekly basis.

2235
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:35,439
Speaker 10: Is he doing more?

2236
01:39:35,640 --> 01:39:37,479
Speaker 12: Is he doing less? We have to do a little

2237
01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:39,920
Speaker 12: bit extra. Is you reaching a certain level of speed

2238
01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:43,679
Speaker 12: during the course of practice, because whatever you do in practice,

2239
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:45,439
Speaker 12: you want to make sure you're prepared if you're to

2240
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:47,559
Speaker 12: put your body through that in the course of a game.

2241
01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:51,560
Speaker 12: So practice becomes reality, So you're not going to do

2242
01:39:51,680 --> 01:39:53,839
Speaker 12: something in a game that you haven't done in practice.

2243
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:56,120
Speaker 12: So you just want to be as prepared as you

2244
01:39:56,240 --> 01:39:58,960
Speaker 12: can physically. But we do to your question, we monitor

2245
01:39:59,360 --> 01:40:01,400
Speaker 12: all that and it's really just to kind of get

2246
01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:04,519
Speaker 12: a baseline understanding of where the player is, so we

2247
01:40:04,640 --> 01:40:07,080
Speaker 12: understand if we're taxing them more, taxing them mo less,

2248
01:40:07,160 --> 01:40:09,960
Speaker 12: or just we need to increase his workloads to some degree.

2249
01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:12,559
Speaker 3: All right, going over some things in no particular order here,

2250
01:40:12,640 --> 01:40:14,839
Speaker 3: we're talking about the tight end group and Kate Stover.

2251
01:40:15,680 --> 01:40:17,920
Speaker 3: Kate has done a really good job for you full back,

2252
01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:21,400
Speaker 3: tight end, whatever he's doing out there. And Schultz obviously

2253
01:40:21,600 --> 01:40:24,559
Speaker 3: Irv Smith played against the Jaguars. Andrew Beck is back

2254
01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:27,240
Speaker 3: in the organization. What about that whole group, Nick, Yeah.

2255
01:40:27,080 --> 01:40:29,120
Speaker 12: We've had to make some adjustments as we have gone

2256
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:31,599
Speaker 12: through the season. So started the year with Brevin Brevin

2257
01:40:31,840 --> 01:40:34,080
Speaker 12: like he's going to have significant impact on the offense.

2258
01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:36,280
Speaker 12: Unfortunately got hurt. So then we had a pivot in

2259
01:40:36,320 --> 01:40:38,559
Speaker 12: diven direction. We brought Teagan back. So Teagan was here

2260
01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:40,720
Speaker 12: in training camp, missed some time with the injury, was

2261
01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:43,040
Speaker 12: able to give us a handful of games whatever it was.

2262
01:40:43,520 --> 01:40:45,000
Speaker 12: Irv has kind of been here for a period of

2263
01:40:45,080 --> 01:40:48,800
Speaker 12: time orvs. An experienced player who's his career has kind

2264
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:51,000
Speaker 12: of evolved. He's kind of been at a couple different places.

2265
01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:53,160
Speaker 12: He's kind of changed kind of the type of player

2266
01:40:53,240 --> 01:40:56,040
Speaker 12: that he is now relative to what he was coming out.

2267
01:40:56,160 --> 01:40:59,920
Speaker 12: But he is a very professional kid, works really hard,

2268
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:01,880
Speaker 12: has got a good attitude, went in the game and

2269
01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:04,400
Speaker 12: Matt was actually able to execute some of his assignments.

2270
01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:07,360
Speaker 12: So and Andrew has experience in our program in a

2271
01:41:07,479 --> 01:41:10,360
Speaker 12: variety of different levels. So at some point, whoever is

2272
01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:12,280
Speaker 12: in the building, there's a good chance we're probably going

2273
01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:15,080
Speaker 12: to need him, like we've talked about. So Detroy Harrison's

2274
01:41:15,080 --> 01:41:16,800
Speaker 12: given us some plays as well. In the Kicking game.

2275
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:19,080
Speaker 12: We activated him for whatever week that was, and then

2276
01:41:19,120 --> 01:41:20,720
Speaker 12: he went and played made an impact play in a

2277
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:23,320
Speaker 12: kicking game. So our depth is if it's not on

2278
01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:25,200
Speaker 12: the roster, it's off the roster, and at some point

2279
01:41:25,240 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 12: we're likely going to have to use everybody, and those

2280
01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:29,080
Speaker 12: are two, I'd say is a really good example, especially

2281
01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:31,040
Speaker 12: late in the week getting called up and he went

2282
01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:33,400
Speaker 12: on there and played competitively against the Jaguars.

2283
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:33,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2284
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:35,000
Speaker 2: I was thinking about it today because I just saw

2285
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:36,760
Speaker 2: Kaid a little while ago, was chatting with him for

2286
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:38,960
Speaker 2: a second, and I looked on the wall and I

2287
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:41,800
Speaker 2: see on the wall we have offense defense special needs

2288
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:44,600
Speaker 2: players of each win. And you look up there and

2289
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:47,120
Speaker 2: you're like, wait, kid's up there. Well that's especially t've

2290
01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:48,760
Speaker 2: tackle he made against the Colts. He's done some things

2291
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:50,160
Speaker 2: on special teams. He had to tackle the other day

2292
01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:52,840
Speaker 2: against Jacksonville. How important has that been to adding to

2293
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:55,560
Speaker 2: the mix, whether you guys thought he could do it

2294
01:41:55,640 --> 01:41:55,760
Speaker 2: or not.

2295
01:41:55,840 --> 01:41:58,560
Speaker 12: When you're drafted, well, you increase your overall value to

2296
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:01,400
Speaker 12: the team if you can hand the multitude of roles. So,

2297
01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:05,080
Speaker 12: in Cade's particular case, started his career on a defensive

2298
01:42:05,080 --> 01:42:06,960
Speaker 12: side of all transition to tight end. So he has

2299
01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:09,280
Speaker 12: a little bit of a defensive mentality. But he's got

2300
01:42:09,360 --> 01:42:12,439
Speaker 12: good playing strength, he's got good athleticism, and he runs well.

2301
01:42:12,520 --> 01:42:15,439
Speaker 12: He's tough, he's physical, he's shown the ability to make

2302
01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:19,200
Speaker 12: tackles in space. So in a backup capacity, sort of

2303
01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:21,680
Speaker 12: hybrid role and then also have value in the kicking game.

2304
01:42:21,880 --> 01:42:23,640
Speaker 12: I would say Brevan is a good example of a

2305
01:42:23,720 --> 01:42:27,920
Speaker 12: player who really improved significantly in a kicking game. We

2306
01:42:28,040 --> 01:42:30,280
Speaker 12: were counting on him as much as we were offensively

2307
01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:32,280
Speaker 12: for a role in a kicking game as well. So

2308
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:35,400
Speaker 12: anytime you can do anything to increase your overall value

2309
01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:37,639
Speaker 12: to the team, then it's certainly going to make a difference.

2310
01:42:37,840 --> 01:42:40,320
Speaker 3: How about the offensive line coming off that performance against

2311
01:42:40,360 --> 01:42:42,280
Speaker 3: the Jaguars, what you did in the second half and

2312
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:45,200
Speaker 3: moving forward out of the buy playing the Dolphins.

2313
01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:47,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that group has done a pretty good job.

2314
01:42:47,080 --> 01:42:49,479
Speaker 12: Really since the Jets game, We've kind of shored up

2315
01:42:49,560 --> 01:42:51,960
Speaker 12: some things protection wise, and we've been able to run

2316
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:54,559
Speaker 12: the ball. So you'll kind of see where we are

2317
01:42:54,640 --> 01:42:56,759
Speaker 12: at and Kenyan back in the mix. You know, players

2318
01:42:56,800 --> 01:42:59,240
Speaker 12: like Zach Thomas have gotten some different reps at different points.

2319
01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:00,840
Speaker 12: We've had a number of players that have kind of

2320
01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 12: been in and out. So similar to the tight end position,

2321
01:43:05,280 --> 01:43:07,080
Speaker 12: there's a good chance we probably need everybody there in

2322
01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:09,800
Speaker 12: the offensive line, But I mean the mainstay's kind of

2323
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:12,200
Speaker 12: been to two tackles in shack and any inside players

2324
01:43:12,240 --> 01:43:14,200
Speaker 12: we've kind of had to rotate to some degree from

2325
01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:16,200
Speaker 12: center to left guard. So kind of see where we

2326
01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:18,200
Speaker 12: are here moving forward defensive line.

2327
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:21,280
Speaker 2: Last week no sacks, but maybe it wasn't a game

2328
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:23,000
Speaker 2: that was kind of conduced to that. Max seem like

2329
01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:25,240
Speaker 2: he was getting the ball out obviously, you know, after

2330
01:43:25,439 --> 01:43:27,600
Speaker 2: Trevor went out, you what's your thought about kind of

2331
01:43:27,640 --> 01:43:30,280
Speaker 2: how all that's now you know coming together, you know,

2332
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:33,240
Speaker 2: with Mario coming back off the suspension, with de Nico back,

2333
01:43:33,640 --> 01:43:35,519
Speaker 2: guys that were banged up, Will was banged up and

2334
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:36,200
Speaker 2: now he's back.

2335
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:37,880
Speaker 1: How do you that kind of the mix of what

2336
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:38,760
Speaker 1: you've got on the front.

2337
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:41,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's probably been as as consistent and productive a

2338
01:43:41,680 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 12: group as we've had on a football team. They've all played,

2339
01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:47,560
Speaker 12: they've all impacted the game and their varying roles to

2340
01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:49,560
Speaker 12: some degree. So the fact that we kind of have

2341
01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:51,320
Speaker 12: all of them is kind of see where Foley is

2342
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:53,720
Speaker 12: at some point, would expect to see him back on

2343
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:55,880
Speaker 12: the field. So he certainly brings a presence on the

2344
01:43:55,960 --> 01:43:59,240
Speaker 12: inside part of the defense from a run perspective. So

2345
01:43:59,360 --> 01:44:02,160
Speaker 12: that group over has been fairly productive and it's just

2346
01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:03,160
Speaker 12: good to have them all available.

2347
01:44:03,479 --> 01:44:06,559
Speaker 3: What do you want to see from the offense overall here, Nick,

2348
01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:08,360
Speaker 3: as we get into the final four games of the

2349
01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:11,360
Speaker 3: regular season, more consistency I would imagine.

2350
01:44:11,439 --> 01:44:12,200
Speaker 1: But what are you looking for?

2351
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:13,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think you alluded to it.

2352
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 1: Mark.

2353
01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:15,479
Speaker 12: That's a big thing as an overall team is just

2354
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:18,559
Speaker 12: playing consistent football, trying to play good, clean football from

2355
01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:20,479
Speaker 12: start to finish. So we've done it in spurts, We've

2356
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:22,120
Speaker 12: done it at different quarters, done it in parts of

2357
01:44:22,200 --> 01:44:24,680
Speaker 12: the half. The areas that are going to have an

2358
01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:27,040
Speaker 12: impact on winning moving forward are going to be the

2359
01:44:27,120 --> 01:44:30,720
Speaker 12: turnover margin, how that goes production on third down, and

2360
01:44:30,800 --> 01:44:33,400
Speaker 12: then how you perform in a red area. So when

2361
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:37,240
Speaker 12: you look across the league, typically the teams that perform

2362
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:39,680
Speaker 12: the best in those areas are the ones that are

2363
01:44:40,080 --> 01:44:42,280
Speaker 12: going to put themselves in a pretty good position. I

2364
01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:45,599
Speaker 12: would say from our perspective, those are probably three tangible areas.

2365
01:44:45,720 --> 01:44:48,280
Speaker 12: If we can just make some incremental improvements, it's going

2366
01:44:48,360 --> 01:44:50,519
Speaker 12: to help the overall football team, and then just maintain

2367
01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:52,439
Speaker 12: a certain level of performance in the kicking game. So

2368
01:44:52,880 --> 01:44:54,479
Speaker 12: that's a big thing. And each week is going to

2369
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:56,880
Speaker 12: present its own challenges. So the challenge in front of

2370
01:44:56,960 --> 01:44:58,960
Speaker 12: us here is Miami and what they provide. Well, we'll

2371
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:01,160
Speaker 12: talk about them here in a minute, but overall as

2372
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:03,960
Speaker 12: a team is just playing good, consistent football from start

2373
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:05,360
Speaker 12: to finish, and then we'll see where we are at

2374
01:45:05,400 --> 01:45:05,880
Speaker 12: the end of the game.

2375
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:08,080
Speaker 2: I mean, you know exactly where we're going. We're done

2376
01:45:08,080 --> 01:45:09,800
Speaker 2: with the state of the Union stuff. Let's talk about

2377
01:45:09,800 --> 01:45:11,240
Speaker 2: the Dolphins, the team that's won a few.

2378
01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:11,559
Speaker 1: In a row.

2379
01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:16,400
Speaker 2: To his Backreek Jalen names that we know, but defensively,

2380
01:45:16,479 --> 01:45:19,040
Speaker 2: they did some decent things last week against the Jets.

2381
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:20,759
Speaker 1: He's got a reported in Miami Dolphins.

2382
01:45:20,920 --> 01:45:23,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, really good football team. This is a playoff team.

2383
01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:25,600
Speaker 12: So last year they went eleven and six, made the playoffs,

2384
01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:27,719
Speaker 12: and a lot of players that were on that team,

2385
01:45:28,200 --> 01:45:31,080
Speaker 12: you know, were on the current team here. Tua makes

2386
01:45:31,120 --> 01:45:34,200
Speaker 12: a significant difference when he's available. He's played as well

2387
01:45:34,200 --> 01:45:36,320
Speaker 12: as any quarterback in the league since he's returned from

2388
01:45:36,360 --> 01:45:38,919
Speaker 12: the injury. I think he leads a league in completion percentage.

2389
01:45:39,360 --> 01:45:43,000
Speaker 12: He's very accurate with the football, his ball placement is exceptional,

2390
01:45:43,320 --> 01:45:46,120
Speaker 12: and there's a timing element to their passing game. And

2391
01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:48,200
Speaker 12: he does a really good job takes care of football.

2392
01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:50,519
Speaker 12: I think he's only he's got seventeen and four something

2393
01:45:50,600 --> 01:45:53,040
Speaker 12: like that. He's completing seventy plus percent of his passes,

2394
01:45:53,479 --> 01:45:57,400
Speaker 12: which that's a good place to start. So offensively, they

2395
01:45:57,560 --> 01:45:59,639
Speaker 12: just present a lot of problems because of their speed.

2396
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:01,760
Speaker 12: You know, when you look at they really have four

2397
01:46:01,840 --> 01:46:05,000
Speaker 12: players that have fifty plus catches in including eight chain

2398
01:46:05,120 --> 01:46:09,000
Speaker 12: so between a change, John, Hu, Tyreek, and Waddle, all

2399
01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:11,000
Speaker 12: four of them, when they get the ball in their hands,

2400
01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:13,840
Speaker 12: they can literally score touchdowns. So the speed and the

2401
01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:17,479
Speaker 12: stress that they put on the defense presents significant challenges.

2402
01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:19,960
Speaker 12: So they got good skill John who's really come on

2403
01:46:20,120 --> 01:46:22,719
Speaker 12: here over the last however many weeks. John who's always

2404
01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:24,600
Speaker 12: been a good catch and run player. A couple of

2405
01:46:24,600 --> 01:46:26,000
Speaker 12: plays there at the end of the Jets game, we're

2406
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:28,040
Speaker 12: illustrated that I took the two screens and he ate

2407
01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:29,799
Speaker 12: up twenty five thirty yards before.

2408
01:46:29,600 --> 01:46:30,240
Speaker 5: He got touched.

2409
01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:32,519
Speaker 12: So they certainly put a lot of stress on the

2410
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:35,920
Speaker 12: defense from the skill positions. And you know, a chain

2411
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:37,880
Speaker 12: makes a difference both in the passing game in a

2412
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:39,640
Speaker 12: running game. And then Moster's done a good job. They

2413
01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:42,320
Speaker 12: got some snaps out of right and the offensive line

2414
01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:45,320
Speaker 12: mostly on the perimeter. They've had some injuries they've had

2415
01:46:45,400 --> 01:46:48,679
Speaker 12: to deal with Los Jackson, Tron didn't play last week,

2416
01:46:48,800 --> 01:46:50,920
Speaker 12: Armstead and or he came out to probably be available.

2417
01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:53,760
Speaker 12: But the inside, they've been kind of the same core

2418
01:46:53,880 --> 01:46:56,559
Speaker 12: three groups. So it's a really good offense that can

2419
01:46:56,600 --> 01:47:00,720
Speaker 12: score points in a hurry. And then defensively, coach Weaver

2420
01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:04,000
Speaker 12: comes over from Baltimore, so the implemented some different things.

2421
01:47:04,760 --> 01:47:06,400
Speaker 12: Starts with the front. They've got a lot of really

2422
01:47:06,439 --> 01:47:09,479
Speaker 12: good individual players, probably a couple of guys or one

2423
01:47:09,520 --> 01:47:12,040
Speaker 12: particular play doesn't give her a lot of notoriety, which

2424
01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:14,759
Speaker 12: he should at Siler as good as any defensive lineman

2425
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:17,439
Speaker 12: in a league period. And here's a good example. Played

2426
01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:19,960
Speaker 12: Division two football Fair of State, late round seven round

2427
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:22,760
Speaker 12: pick whatever. He was, started screing Baltimore and he's made

2428
01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:26,000
Speaker 12: himself into a really really good football player. So between

2429
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:28,639
Speaker 12: him and Jones inside and then I'd say Chop has

2430
01:47:28,720 --> 01:47:31,040
Speaker 12: kind of similar to Smith on often, but Chop Robinson

2431
01:47:31,080 --> 01:47:34,320
Speaker 12: has really come on, can stress the offense with his

2432
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:36,360
Speaker 12: with his rush ability. Looks like they're going to get

2433
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:39,080
Speaker 12: chubbed back. So they got a good front. Jordan Brooks

2434
01:47:39,160 --> 01:47:42,200
Speaker 12: leaves him tackles who's fast, like a really fast linebacker

2435
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:47,200
Speaker 12: over one hundred tackles. Excuse me that Ramsey is basically

2436
01:47:47,360 --> 01:47:50,000
Speaker 12: a matchup piece, matchup tool. He can line up anywhere,

2437
01:47:50,000 --> 01:47:53,120
Speaker 12: plays in a perimeter, plays inside the formation. But looks

2438
01:47:53,160 --> 01:47:55,400
Speaker 12: like they've kind of settled on him on a perimeter

2439
01:47:55,560 --> 01:47:58,840
Speaker 12: with Cahu inside and Fuller. And then Hollin's a really

2440
01:47:58,920 --> 01:48:02,479
Speaker 12: good young player player over from Buffalo, who's there's a

2441
01:48:02,520 --> 01:48:05,400
Speaker 12: second leading tackler. So this is I mean, this is

2442
01:48:05,400 --> 01:48:07,679
Speaker 12: a really good football team. Like we talked about eleven

2443
01:48:07,760 --> 01:48:11,240
Speaker 12: and six last year, they're maybe not quite where they

2444
01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:12,960
Speaker 12: thought they were going to be, but they've played really

2445
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:15,479
Speaker 12: good football here as of late. So I mean we're

2446
01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:17,759
Speaker 12: preparing to play, you know, one of the better teams

2447
01:48:17,800 --> 01:48:19,080
Speaker 12: on our schedule, which is what they are.

2448
01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:21,479
Speaker 3: Well, when you look at a guy like Kalais Campbell,

2449
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:24,280
Speaker 3: who it seems like he should have retired ten years ago, nick,

2450
01:48:24,320 --> 01:48:26,760
Speaker 3: but he's still playing and he's still playing well for them.

2451
01:48:27,439 --> 01:48:29,080
Speaker 3: When you analyze players like.

2452
01:48:29,120 --> 01:48:30,120
Speaker 1: That, what is it? Is it?

2453
01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:32,320
Speaker 3: The way they take care of their body is a genetics?

2454
01:48:32,360 --> 01:48:35,559
Speaker 3: I mean, what do you determine is the factor alia going?

2455
01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:38,160
Speaker 12: And he's as consistent and professional as a player as

2456
01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:41,480
Speaker 12: there is and he's available, so he always starts with availability.

2457
01:48:41,600 --> 01:48:43,720
Speaker 12: So he's obviously done enough things to make sure that

2458
01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:46,400
Speaker 12: he's there for his teammates every Sunday, and he's done

2459
01:48:46,439 --> 01:48:48,680
Speaker 12: that over the course of his career. And just his

2460
01:48:48,880 --> 01:48:52,400
Speaker 12: length is six to seven three hundred pounds their Harvardman

2461
01:48:52,479 --> 01:48:55,439
Speaker 12: thirty five thirty six inch arms presents a lot of problems,

2462
01:48:55,520 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 12: but in a true professional like leadership, even even though

2463
01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:02,559
Speaker 12: he's only been there probably for a year, my suspicion

2464
01:49:02,680 --> 01:49:05,479
Speaker 12: is he's had a significant imprint on the overall program

2465
01:49:05,560 --> 01:49:08,719
Speaker 12: from a leadership standpoint. So a lot of respect for Klayus.

2466
01:49:08,720 --> 01:49:10,800
Speaker 12: Anytime you play that number of years, you can't put

2467
01:49:10,840 --> 01:49:13,000
Speaker 12: tip your hat to a player like that at what

2468
01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:13,920
Speaker 12: he brings to the team.

2469
01:49:14,439 --> 01:49:17,600
Speaker 2: Tyrek and Jalen, do you guys we talked about it

2470
01:49:17,680 --> 01:49:19,680
Speaker 2: being fast when we talk about a chan and right

2471
01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:22,240
Speaker 2: those guys are running back of a different element because

2472
01:49:22,280 --> 01:49:25,240
Speaker 2: of the speed. But with Tyrek and Jalen, and I

2473
01:49:25,320 --> 01:49:27,760
Speaker 2: asked us of the Miko in a kind of a

2474
01:49:27,800 --> 01:49:31,560
Speaker 2: sense like we know they're fast, but what makes them problematic?

2475
01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:34,280
Speaker 2: Like we've seen fast guys before that can't be they

2476
01:49:34,400 --> 01:49:36,920
Speaker 2: just don't make plays. But these guys are fast, and

2477
01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:39,679
Speaker 2: it's like their speed allows him to make plays.

2478
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:42,759
Speaker 12: What makes them so difficult, Well, they're fast time speed,

2479
01:49:42,840 --> 01:49:45,600
Speaker 12: and they play fast and they play with urgency. And

2480
01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 12: they both have a combination of speed and or short

2481
01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:51,160
Speaker 12: space quickness, so they can get away from the defense,

2482
01:49:51,520 --> 01:49:53,439
Speaker 12: it can get away from coverage line of scrimm. It's

2483
01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:56,760
Speaker 12: Tyreek transitions with the ball in an instant after the catch.

2484
01:49:57,240 --> 01:49:59,600
Speaker 12: So their ability to accelerate with the ball when they

2485
01:49:59,680 --> 01:50:02,719
Speaker 12: get in into their hands to play at their speed,

2486
01:50:03,320 --> 01:50:06,240
Speaker 12: that's what I would say, is as taxing as anything else.

2487
01:50:06,280 --> 01:50:06,960
Speaker 5: And you see it.

2488
01:50:07,280 --> 01:50:09,080
Speaker 12: I mean they both had over one hundred catches or

2489
01:50:09,120 --> 01:50:11,320
Speaker 12: whatever it was last year. It was a lot this

2490
01:50:11,520 --> 01:50:14,360
Speaker 12: year with two out you know, a little bit different.

2491
01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:18,080
Speaker 12: But you've seen over the last however many weeks they've

2492
01:50:18,240 --> 01:50:19,720
Speaker 12: made a significant impact.

2493
01:50:19,479 --> 01:50:20,120
Speaker 5: On the offense.

2494
01:50:20,400 --> 01:50:22,400
Speaker 3: It seems like when they can't run the ball well

2495
01:50:22,439 --> 01:50:24,160
Speaker 3: and I know they want to run it better, they

2496
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:26,280
Speaker 3: just go with that short passing game, right, that high

2497
01:50:26,280 --> 01:50:27,679
Speaker 3: percentage completion stuff.

2498
01:50:28,120 --> 01:50:29,599
Speaker 5: It's really an extension in a running game.

2499
01:50:29,680 --> 01:50:31,360
Speaker 12: So given an overtime, going back to the game the

2500
01:50:31,400 --> 01:50:33,000
Speaker 12: other day, they had two screens of John Who and

2501
01:50:33,040 --> 01:50:35,360
Speaker 12: they threw a screen day chain and they were basically

2502
01:50:35,439 --> 01:50:38,840
Speaker 12: in a red area. So sometimes those plays are not

2503
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:41,920
Speaker 12: breather plays, but they are an extension of the running game.

2504
01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:43,839
Speaker 12: They're just plays they get to the perimeter at a defense.

2505
01:50:43,880 --> 01:50:45,720
Speaker 12: So there's certain there's good a screen team, at least

2506
01:50:45,760 --> 01:50:47,719
Speaker 12: a perimeter screen team, as there is in the league.

2507
01:50:47,720 --> 01:50:49,439
Speaker 12: I mean, Kansas City probably put them up there. It's

2508
01:50:49,479 --> 01:50:52,040
Speaker 12: a more traditional kind of screen team, which you'll see here,

2509
01:50:52,200 --> 01:50:54,080
Speaker 12: you know, in a few weeks. But they do a

2510
01:50:54,120 --> 01:50:55,880
Speaker 12: good job with the passing game. They mix and match

2511
01:50:55,880 --> 01:50:58,000
Speaker 12: a little bit, and Tua does a good job not

2512
01:50:58,160 --> 01:50:59,840
Speaker 12: only on the screens, but of just taking with the

2513
01:50:59,880 --> 01:51:02,320
Speaker 12: d defense gives them and then throwing a catchable ball

2514
01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:04,400
Speaker 12: and then give them their skill players an opportunity to

2515
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:05,720
Speaker 12: transition with the ball after the catch.

2516
01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:07,519
Speaker 2: I know you'd like to be good in both areas,

2517
01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:10,439
Speaker 2: but maybe against this group it's not. I mean, maybe

2518
01:51:10,520 --> 01:51:12,280
Speaker 2: you can't be. But what's going to be more important

2519
01:51:12,320 --> 01:51:14,679
Speaker 2: this week? Nick, being good on first and second down

2520
01:51:15,280 --> 01:51:16,920
Speaker 2: or taking away the explosives.

2521
01:51:17,760 --> 01:51:18,880
Speaker 12: I mean, it's like you want to be able to

2522
01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:22,000
Speaker 12: do both the answers, yes, yes, but it always starts

2523
01:51:22,080 --> 01:51:24,640
Speaker 12: with first down production. So because that puts you in

2524
01:51:24,680 --> 01:51:27,360
Speaker 12: a position you're in more advantageous. But by the same token,

2525
01:51:27,439 --> 01:51:30,639
Speaker 12: long yardage, they have the ability to launch the ball

2526
01:51:30,680 --> 01:51:33,280
Speaker 12: over your head if you if you give that opportunity

2527
01:51:33,320 --> 01:51:35,200
Speaker 12: to do so, so first down production.

2528
01:51:35,280 --> 01:51:36,679
Speaker 5: I'm sure we'll talk about this on Sunday.

2529
01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:38,040
Speaker 12: It was certainly going to be the kid to this game,

2530
01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:40,400
Speaker 12: and I would say, you know what, these two teams offensively,

2531
01:51:40,520 --> 01:51:42,360
Speaker 12: it's certainly going to be at the forefront.

2532
01:51:42,560 --> 01:51:42,840
Speaker 1: All right.

2533
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:46,519
Speaker 3: A couple of wild card questions before, Okay, college football,

2534
01:51:46,520 --> 01:51:48,880
Speaker 3: we're in a playoff. Now, how is it for you,

2535
01:51:49,200 --> 01:51:51,760
Speaker 3: because you've analyzed college football for a long time to

2536
01:51:51,840 --> 01:51:54,400
Speaker 3: see an actual bracket. When I saw the bracket, I

2537
01:51:54,479 --> 01:51:56,680
Speaker 3: just thought, oh, we are in another era now, So

2538
01:51:56,840 --> 01:51:58,519
Speaker 3: how do you see this and how does it affect

2539
01:51:58,560 --> 01:51:58,960
Speaker 3: what you do?

2540
01:51:59,360 --> 01:52:01,559
Speaker 12: It's like the NCAA tournament, so when the brackets come out,

2541
01:52:01,600 --> 01:52:05,080
Speaker 12: so it's interesting. Sure, they're kind of experimenting with what's

2542
01:52:05,120 --> 01:52:07,400
Speaker 12: the best formula. I'm sure there was discussion about who

2543
01:52:07,439 --> 01:52:09,840
Speaker 12: made it, who didn't make it. Looks like they're trying

2544
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:12,120
Speaker 12: to save on travel with Notre Dame in Indiana play

2545
01:52:12,600 --> 01:52:14,519
Speaker 12: right next to each other. But what you see is

2546
01:52:14,560 --> 01:52:16,439
Speaker 12: you see a lot of good football teams. Was you know,

2547
01:52:16,520 --> 01:52:18,280
Speaker 12: we actually started our kind of first round of draft

2548
01:52:18,320 --> 01:52:21,600
Speaker 12: meetings here in preparation for the draft, which I know

2549
01:52:21,680 --> 01:52:23,320
Speaker 12: when I talk about the draft, we will be at

2550
01:52:23,360 --> 01:52:26,000
Speaker 12: some point. But you know, so it'll be fun. I'm

2551
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:28,680
Speaker 12: sure it'll be exciting, adds a little bit more to

2552
01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:31,160
Speaker 12: the bowl games, the meaning of the actual bowl games.

2553
01:52:31,240 --> 01:52:32,760
Speaker 12: And then you know, it's a handful of teams or

2554
01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:34,519
Speaker 12: four teams whatever it was to have to buy. So

2555
01:52:35,080 --> 01:52:37,439
Speaker 12: it'll be fun. I'm sure the fans will. We'll watch

2556
01:52:37,520 --> 01:52:40,320
Speaker 12: and tune in to some of the matchups, look, which

2557
01:52:40,360 --> 01:52:41,160
Speaker 12: look pretty interesting.

2558
01:52:41,439 --> 01:52:45,519
Speaker 2: We could talk the draft if you want. We can't

2559
01:52:45,560 --> 01:52:48,880
Speaker 2: talk draft. Knife to my heart, all right.

2560
01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:52,400
Speaker 3: Another wild card question. There was an event in Houston

2561
01:52:52,520 --> 01:52:54,360
Speaker 3: last weekend sumo wrestling.

2562
01:52:54,800 --> 01:52:57,680
Speaker 1: Hear me out that one. Hear me out, hear me out.

2563
01:52:57,920 --> 01:52:59,560
Speaker 5: I talked at crowd and parsons about this.

2564
01:53:00,040 --> 01:53:03,200
Speaker 3: The average weight is three twenty five and you've seen

2565
01:53:03,280 --> 01:53:04,120
Speaker 3: sumo wrestling.

2566
01:53:04,439 --> 01:53:05,960
Speaker 1: This had to be tried before.

2567
01:53:06,040 --> 01:53:07,280
Speaker 5: Where was this, I don't know.

2568
01:53:07,320 --> 01:53:08,320
Speaker 1: It was in Houston somewhere.

2569
01:53:08,320 --> 01:53:10,120
Speaker 3: I read it in the chronicle and I just thought,

2570
01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:13,000
Speaker 3: why aren't these guys looked at maybe maybe they are.

2571
01:53:13,120 --> 01:53:15,479
Speaker 3: You can tell me, because I know that there's a

2572
01:53:15,560 --> 01:53:18,479
Speaker 3: lot of efforts out there to find international players in

2573
01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:20,680
Speaker 3: the NFL. But three twenty five, Nick, and they're just

2574
01:53:20,920 --> 01:53:22,880
Speaker 3: I mean, they're going at each other, and maybe there's

2575
01:53:22,920 --> 01:53:25,720
Speaker 3: some balance and some traits that can carry over there.

2576
01:53:25,760 --> 01:53:28,280
Speaker 12: We got low center of gravity like that about the

2577
01:53:28,360 --> 01:53:30,320
Speaker 12: only thing I can think of. Okay, maybe the NFL

2578
01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:34,560
Speaker 12: can actually the international pathway program of international players. So

2579
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:36,920
Speaker 12: maybe they can find a sumo wrestler part of that

2580
01:53:36,960 --> 01:53:37,519
Speaker 12: here at some point.

2581
01:53:37,600 --> 01:53:39,599
Speaker 1: That's probably the next that'd be the next step.

2582
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:42,040
Speaker 12: Now between that and then we'll be playing games in

2583
01:53:42,120 --> 01:53:44,320
Speaker 12: China as a results. Okay, don't worry about that's.

2584
01:53:44,280 --> 01:53:46,760
Speaker 2: No, that's that's coming regardless. I got a feelings all

2585
01:53:46,800 --> 01:53:49,720
Speaker 2: the different places we could play. But something we were

2586
01:53:49,720 --> 01:53:51,920
Speaker 2: talking about earlier, we're talking about Brevin Jordan got me

2587
01:53:51,960 --> 01:53:55,640
Speaker 2: thinking about looking at players and projecting players like a

2588
01:53:55,840 --> 01:53:58,280
Speaker 2: like a sumer wrestler, just somebody different in saying, Okay,

2589
01:53:58,479 --> 01:54:01,160
Speaker 2: this guy has been a tight end end at such

2590
01:54:01,240 --> 01:54:02,880
Speaker 2: and such a place. He was watching Matt Locke, the

2591
01:54:02,920 --> 01:54:05,200
Speaker 2: other Matt Locke, the kid with.

2592
01:54:05,280 --> 01:54:08,720
Speaker 5: Defensive attack chargers. Yeah, boys, defensive tackle with transitional.

2593
01:54:08,280 --> 01:54:11,639
Speaker 2: Full back, exactly like Recard with the Ravens. How tough

2594
01:54:11,760 --> 01:54:13,160
Speaker 2: is that, Nick to look at a player and go,

2595
01:54:14,520 --> 01:54:16,760
Speaker 2: he plays linebacker. We don't think he's a linebacker. He

2596
01:54:16,920 --> 01:54:19,040
Speaker 2: might be a fullback, or he might be a I

2597
01:54:19,040 --> 01:54:22,720
Speaker 2: don't know, Troy Harrison tight end, tru How difficult is

2598
01:54:22,760 --> 01:54:24,280
Speaker 2: that to kind of look at somebody and go, no,

2599
01:54:24,439 --> 01:54:25,920
Speaker 2: you're not going to be that, You're going to be this.

2600
01:54:26,120 --> 01:54:28,240
Speaker 1: How does that kind of how difficult?

2601
01:54:28,240 --> 01:54:28,960
Speaker 5: No, it's interesting.

2602
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:31,559
Speaker 12: You can't necessarily strapolate every player, well, he can't play

2603
01:54:31,600 --> 01:54:33,440
Speaker 12: this position. We're going to transition to something else. A

2604
01:54:33,480 --> 01:54:35,400
Speaker 12: lot of it has to do with mindset and the

2605
01:54:35,560 --> 01:54:38,200
Speaker 12: vision of the coaching staff, whether or not you have

2606
01:54:38,760 --> 01:54:41,360
Speaker 12: enough of an open mind to consider player like that.

2607
01:54:41,960 --> 01:54:43,480
Speaker 12: Even go back to my time in New England, we

2608
01:54:43,560 --> 01:54:46,680
Speaker 12: had Landon Roberts. Was he was playing that, he wasn't playing,

2609
01:54:46,720 --> 01:54:48,240
Speaker 12: he was a backup. Then we used him a little

2610
01:54:48,280 --> 01:54:50,320
Speaker 12: bit of full back. Now he's a better linebacker as

2611
01:54:50,320 --> 01:54:53,680
Speaker 12: a fullback. But some players embrace it and if that's

2612
01:54:53,720 --> 01:54:55,640
Speaker 12: their best opportunity to get on the field and play,

2613
01:54:55,800 --> 01:54:57,560
Speaker 12: then go ahead and do it. So you never want

2614
01:54:57,600 --> 01:54:59,840
Speaker 12: a pigeonhole guy. You want to stay open minded, but

2615
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:02,160
Speaker 12: have to be careful of it doesn't work out here. Well,

2616
01:55:02,160 --> 01:55:05,520
Speaker 12: we're just automatically it'll make him this, so it happens,

2617
01:55:05,840 --> 01:55:08,160
Speaker 12: and say those two cases. You know, Matt Locke Ricard

2618
01:55:08,240 --> 01:55:10,400
Speaker 12: is as good of an example. There's a guy defensive

2619
01:55:10,440 --> 01:55:14,480
Speaker 12: tackle didn't work out or he played, but he found

2620
01:55:14,560 --> 01:55:16,640
Speaker 12: kind of a perfect Niche a perfect offense. Not a

2621
01:55:16,640 --> 01:55:19,000
Speaker 12: guy's a Pro Bowl fullback or whatever he's been. Man,

2622
01:55:19,040 --> 01:55:21,280
Speaker 12: you guys did it all the time. Troy Brown, Julian

2623
01:55:21,320 --> 01:55:22,560
Speaker 12: Adaman playing Nickole.

2624
01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:23,320
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you.

2625
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:28,600
Speaker 12: Guys are at ten touchdown catches. You're just trying to

2626
01:55:29,080 --> 01:55:32,200
Speaker 12: maximize your roster. You only get x number of players

2627
01:55:32,240 --> 01:55:33,600
Speaker 12: that you can take to the game each week. So

2628
01:55:33,640 --> 01:55:36,520
Speaker 12: if you can create more versatility for yourself, if that

2629
01:55:36,600 --> 01:55:39,280
Speaker 12: helps the team, then increase the overall value of what

2630
01:55:39,360 --> 01:55:39,880
Speaker 12: you're trying to do.

2631
01:55:40,240 --> 01:55:42,160
Speaker 3: And you could be a sumo wrestler and play and

2632
01:55:42,520 --> 01:55:44,560
Speaker 3: never mind, we'll see how that goes. Nick, thanks a

Speaker 3: at the numbers, I know you're out for a little bit,

2658
01:56:57,760 --> 01:56:59,160
Speaker 3: but you're back and you're playing well.

2659
01:57:00,040 --> 01:57:00,880
Speaker 1: Blessing to be on his team.

2660
01:57:00,960 --> 01:57:02,560
Speaker 13: Blessing and be able to play with the guys I play,

2661
01:57:02,880 --> 01:57:04,240
Speaker 13: and I just like to go out there, play fast

2662
01:57:04,280 --> 01:57:04,840
Speaker 13: and play physical.

2663
01:57:05,280 --> 01:57:08,480
Speaker 2: So against Jacksonville, I said this to Coach Ryan's the

2664
01:57:08,560 --> 01:57:12,440
Speaker 2: other day, you were involved in the run game a lot,

2665
01:57:13,680 --> 01:57:16,080
Speaker 2: and it appears just watching the game like.

2666
01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:18,640
Speaker 1: You like that part of the game, Like you appreciate

2667
01:57:18,720 --> 01:57:19,120
Speaker 1: that part of the.

2668
01:57:19,120 --> 01:57:20,360
Speaker 2: Game where there are a lot of guys that play

2669
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:22,200
Speaker 2: your position, like no, no, no, I'm gonna cover that guy,

2670
01:57:22,280 --> 01:57:25,440
Speaker 2: but tackling is not my thing. But you were diving

2671
01:57:25,520 --> 01:57:27,560
Speaker 2: into plays and making plays in the run game. How

2672
01:57:27,640 --> 01:57:31,520
Speaker 2: much do you take pride in that part of the game, Kamari.

2673
01:57:31,960 --> 01:57:34,120
Speaker 13: I feel like that's just a part that's always been

2674
01:57:34,120 --> 01:57:35,680
Speaker 13: a part of me, you know, since I started playing

2675
01:57:35,720 --> 01:57:37,720
Speaker 13: Little League. You know, my mom used to always tell

2676
01:57:37,760 --> 01:57:40,560
Speaker 13: me big hits all day, so physicality was just something

2677
01:57:40,640 --> 01:57:42,560
Speaker 13: that was always a part of me. And uh, even

2678
01:57:42,600 --> 01:57:44,680
Speaker 13: when I got to Georgia. You know, coach Mark super

2679
01:57:44,720 --> 01:57:46,440
Speaker 13: physical coach. You know he wants us to come up

2680
01:57:46,440 --> 01:57:48,520
Speaker 13: and make tackle. So I mean, why not Translated to

2681
01:57:48,520 --> 01:57:49,880
Speaker 13: the League, So I mean, I just go in there

2682
01:57:50,280 --> 01:57:51,520
Speaker 13: and I just throw myself on fire.

2683
01:57:51,760 --> 01:57:52,000
Speaker 4: Kamar.

2684
01:57:52,120 --> 01:57:54,560
Speaker 3: When they drafted you, a lot of people labeled you,

2685
01:57:54,760 --> 01:57:56,520
Speaker 3: he's a Nike gol, He's gonna be a nickel on

2686
01:57:56,600 --> 01:57:57,000
Speaker 3: this team.

2687
01:57:57,080 --> 01:57:58,920
Speaker 1: And that was from the outside end.

2688
01:57:59,240 --> 01:58:02,040
Speaker 3: And then you get to os and you're covering guys

2689
01:58:02,120 --> 01:58:04,640
Speaker 3: really well, you're playing outside. How did all that take

2690
01:58:04,760 --> 01:58:07,360
Speaker 3: place for you? What was that like as you became

2691
01:58:07,640 --> 01:58:09,200
Speaker 3: outside instead of playing nickel?

2692
01:58:09,480 --> 01:58:11,720
Speaker 13: Well, I mean, you know, in college, I played outside,

2693
01:58:11,760 --> 01:58:13,720
Speaker 13: but uh I always got reps in nickel and I

2694
01:58:13,800 --> 01:58:16,480
Speaker 13: played a game into a nickel in college. But I

2695
01:58:16,520 --> 01:58:18,480
Speaker 13: always just probed myself on being a football player, you know.

2696
01:58:18,560 --> 01:58:20,040
Speaker 13: So I mean I feel like, you know, I just

2697
01:58:20,040 --> 01:58:22,440
Speaker 13: played football, played defense. So it's not really a single

2698
01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:24,680
Speaker 13: position that I could just lave myself too. If they

2699
01:58:24,720 --> 01:58:26,360
Speaker 13: need me to play outside, I can play outside. I

2700
01:58:26,440 --> 01:58:28,320
Speaker 13: need to play nickel, I played nickel. If I need

2701
01:58:28,320 --> 01:58:29,680
Speaker 13: to play back, I could play back or don't matter.

2702
01:58:29,720 --> 01:58:30,520
Speaker 13: I just want to be on the field.

2703
01:58:30,800 --> 01:58:32,760
Speaker 1: So you say that very nonchalantly.

2704
01:58:32,840 --> 01:58:35,000
Speaker 2: But there was one game in particular that you played

2705
01:58:35,040 --> 01:58:37,360
Speaker 2: inside in twenty twenty three at Georgia. In one game

2706
01:58:37,440 --> 01:58:39,160
Speaker 2: that I watched a lot, and there was a reason

2707
01:58:39,240 --> 01:58:42,520
Speaker 2: you played inside, and his name was Luther Burdon right

2708
01:58:42,800 --> 01:58:43,879
Speaker 2: that game against Bazoo.

2709
01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:46,720
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, that's when because your snaps.

2710
01:58:46,440 --> 01:58:49,120
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three almost all of them are outside.

2711
01:58:49,120 --> 01:58:51,680
Speaker 2: But then that game you played inside against Luther Burdon.

2712
01:58:51,720 --> 01:58:54,600
Speaker 2: That's when I was convinced Kamari that Okay, this dude's

2713
01:58:54,600 --> 01:58:56,040
Speaker 2: gonna be able to play in the league because if

2714
01:58:56,040 --> 01:58:57,800
Speaker 2: you could take on that challenge no.

2715
01:58:57,880 --> 01:58:59,760
Speaker 1: Matter where he lines up, that's where you're lining up.

2716
01:58:59,840 --> 01:59:01,400
Speaker 2: Was kind of the role for you that day And

2717
01:59:01,440 --> 01:59:03,200
Speaker 2: how much did you kind of relish that, whether it

2718
01:59:03,280 --> 01:59:05,560
Speaker 2: was inside or outside, you had him and you were

2719
01:59:05,600 --> 01:59:06,880
Speaker 2: going against him all day long.

2720
01:59:06,920 --> 01:59:08,200
Speaker 5: One of the best receivers in the country.

2721
01:59:08,320 --> 01:59:09,720
Speaker 13: Well, that's what I asked for. At the beginning of

2722
01:59:09,800 --> 01:59:13,080
Speaker 13: the week. I remember asking coach Frank my Corners coach.

2723
01:59:13,120 --> 01:59:14,920
Speaker 13: I was like, coach, you talked to coach Smart, let

2724
01:59:14,920 --> 01:59:16,680
Speaker 13: me follow him. And he was like, you know, he

2725
01:59:16,840 --> 01:59:18,200
Speaker 13: travels all over the field. And I was like, I

2726
01:59:18,240 --> 01:59:21,000
Speaker 13: don't care. And Coach Martin he was all good with it.

2727
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:24,040
Speaker 13: I had already been familiar with Nickel. He gave me

2728
01:59:24,080 --> 01:59:25,440
Speaker 13: a lot of reps, you know, coming in so I

2729
01:59:25,520 --> 01:59:27,960
Speaker 13: was already familiar with it and I just went out there,

2730
01:59:28,320 --> 01:59:31,480
Speaker 13: studied the film Playball, and uh, you know left on

2731
01:59:31,520 --> 01:59:31,840
Speaker 13: the field.

2732
01:59:31,960 --> 01:59:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of guys here from the SEC obviously,

2733
01:59:35,280 --> 01:59:37,680
Speaker 3: And what is it about that? Because you came in

2734
01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:39,600
Speaker 3: here and it didn't seem like the moment was too

2735
01:59:39,640 --> 01:59:41,560
Speaker 3: big at all for you? You rose to the occasion

2736
01:59:41,640 --> 01:59:44,680
Speaker 3: from day one. Is playing at Georgia a big part

2737
01:59:44,760 --> 01:59:44,880
Speaker 3: of that?

2738
01:59:45,040 --> 01:59:45,640
Speaker 1: It's got to be?

2739
01:59:45,880 --> 01:59:48,160
Speaker 3: And what else about you got you ready for that

2740
01:59:48,520 --> 01:59:50,640
Speaker 3: limelight here in the NFL so young?

2741
01:59:51,200 --> 01:59:52,960
Speaker 13: I feel like playing at Georgia is a huge part

2742
01:59:53,000 --> 01:59:54,520
Speaker 13: of it. I mean, coach mart put us through every

2743
01:59:54,560 --> 01:59:57,600
Speaker 13: situation possible to be ready for this moment. You know,

2744
01:59:57,680 --> 02:00:01,000
Speaker 13: he puts us through you know, rigorous practice meetings are

2745
02:00:01,080 --> 02:00:02,800
Speaker 13: very extensive. You know, you learning a lot of football.

2746
02:00:02,800 --> 02:00:04,640
Speaker 13: I learned a lot of football at Georgia. So whenever

2747
02:00:04,680 --> 02:00:06,960
Speaker 13: I got to the league, it was almost like I'm

2748
02:00:07,080 --> 02:00:08,880
Speaker 13: just picking up where I left off. And a lot

2749
02:00:08,920 --> 02:00:11,280
Speaker 13: of guys that I'm playing with or around I've either

2750
02:00:11,320 --> 02:00:13,560
Speaker 13: played against before while I was watching them play in

2751
02:00:13,560 --> 02:00:15,400
Speaker 13: the SEC. So it's kind of like we all kind

2752
02:00:15,440 --> 02:00:17,200
Speaker 13: of have the same mindset because you know, in college

2753
02:00:17,320 --> 02:00:19,440
Speaker 13: is different than SEC. You know, there's a lot more physical.

2754
02:00:19,520 --> 02:00:21,760
Speaker 13: The game just means a lot more. So just coming

2755
02:00:21,840 --> 02:00:24,440
Speaker 13: in here it wasn't really much. I mean, at the

2756
02:00:24,520 --> 02:00:25,840
Speaker 13: end of the day, you know, it's football. I've been

2757
02:00:25,840 --> 02:00:27,600
Speaker 13: playing football since I was three, So it was really

2758
02:00:27,720 --> 02:00:29,440
Speaker 13: just me proven it to myself that you know, I'm

2759
02:00:29,480 --> 02:00:30,040
Speaker 13: here for a reason.

2760
02:00:30,160 --> 02:00:31,600
Speaker 2: I thought about you a little bit. In Week two

2761
02:00:31,680 --> 02:00:33,480
Speaker 2: we played the Bears on Sunday night. I was like,

2762
02:00:33,600 --> 02:00:35,160
Speaker 2: you know, the lights are gonna be too bright. You

2763
02:00:35,240 --> 02:00:38,240
Speaker 2: played in every big game imaginable that you could in college.

2764
02:00:38,240 --> 02:00:40,200
Speaker 2: You played in front one hundred of thousands, you know,

2765
02:00:40,280 --> 02:00:43,520
Speaker 2: at Tennessee or back home at Georgia, and you get

2766
02:00:43,560 --> 02:00:45,720
Speaker 2: your first interception. That had to be pretty special, though,

2767
02:00:45,760 --> 02:00:48,280
Speaker 2: to get your first NFL interception on that Sunday night,

2768
02:00:48,560 --> 02:00:51,120
Speaker 2: all your Georgia guys watching you make that p What

2769
02:00:51,280 --> 02:00:53,040
Speaker 2: was that like? Did you get a big response from

2770
02:00:53,040 --> 02:00:55,680
Speaker 2: your Georgia guys congratulating you after that getting that first

2771
02:00:55,680 --> 02:00:56,720
Speaker 2: interception against the Bears.

2772
02:00:56,960 --> 02:00:58,440
Speaker 4: Man, it was it was a great moment.

2773
02:00:58,560 --> 02:00:59,240
Speaker 10: It was at home.

2774
02:01:00,240 --> 02:01:02,880
Speaker 13: I got the book and then first thing I looked

2775
02:01:02,880 --> 02:01:04,440
Speaker 13: for I looked for my mom in the stands and

2776
02:01:04,600 --> 02:01:06,840
Speaker 13: just being able to just run down to the side

2777
02:01:07,040 --> 02:01:08,680
Speaker 13: to the end zone and have all the guys coming

2778
02:01:08,760 --> 02:01:10,840
Speaker 13: with me and we all celebrate, and everyone was just

2779
02:01:10,880 --> 02:01:13,400
Speaker 13: so happy for me. It just showed me like how

2780
02:01:13,480 --> 02:01:15,840
Speaker 13: much we were really connected. And then even after the game,

2781
02:01:15,880 --> 02:01:18,000
Speaker 13: I just had a lot of messages from guys who

2782
02:01:18,040 --> 02:01:20,320
Speaker 13: I played with, guys who coached me, or anything from

2783
02:01:20,560 --> 02:01:22,000
Speaker 13: all the way from Little League all the way up

2784
02:01:22,040 --> 02:01:22,680
Speaker 13: until college.

2785
02:01:22,800 --> 02:01:25,080
Speaker 2: So you know, a couple of hundred, three hundred, four

2786
02:01:25,120 --> 02:01:28,040
Speaker 2: hund or a few hundred coming into your inbox.

2787
02:01:27,760 --> 02:01:29,200
Speaker 1: For sure, that's Kamario.

2788
02:01:29,280 --> 02:01:32,200
Speaker 3: I'm always curious about this with rookies. You have that

2789
02:01:32,640 --> 02:01:35,240
Speaker 3: entire offseason before your rookie season where you have the

2790
02:01:35,320 --> 02:01:38,040
Speaker 3: pre draft stuff and the workouts, and then you have

2791
02:01:38,160 --> 02:01:41,040
Speaker 3: the rookie camp and OTAs, and we came to camp

2792
02:01:41,120 --> 02:01:43,200
Speaker 3: early here in Houston in mid July for the Hall

2793
02:01:43,200 --> 02:01:44,840
Speaker 3: of Fame game and all of that. How do you

2794
02:01:44,920 --> 02:01:48,520
Speaker 3: feel physically right now coming into the most important stretch

2795
02:01:48,560 --> 02:01:50,320
Speaker 3: of the year and here we are with four games

2796
02:01:50,360 --> 02:01:51,480
Speaker 3: to go in the regular season.

2797
02:01:51,960 --> 02:01:54,120
Speaker 13: I mean, I would say, you know, it has been

2798
02:01:54,160 --> 02:01:56,320
Speaker 13: a long time since the last time I played a

2799
02:01:56,360 --> 02:01:58,640
Speaker 13: football game at Georgia, all way up until now it's

2800
02:01:58,680 --> 02:02:00,880
Speaker 13: been go go, go, go go. But going into that,

2801
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:02,480
Speaker 13: you know, I already knew that's what it was going

2802
02:02:02,560 --> 02:02:04,400
Speaker 13: to be, so I already had my mind prepared. And

2803
02:02:04,720 --> 02:02:06,120
Speaker 13: you know, we're coming off of bye week, which was

2804
02:02:06,240 --> 02:02:08,120
Speaker 13: kind of crucial. I mean, it was a long stretch before,

2805
02:02:08,160 --> 02:02:09,680
Speaker 13: but the bye week came, I feel like at a

2806
02:02:09,720 --> 02:02:11,960
Speaker 13: good time, and I feel like, you know, I'm ready.

2807
02:02:11,800 --> 02:02:12,760
Speaker 1: To go tomorrow.

2808
02:02:12,760 --> 02:02:16,760
Speaker 2: What's that secondary room been like? You've got Sting who

2809
02:02:16,840 --> 02:02:18,520
Speaker 2: doesn't say a whole lot. It just goes out there

2810
02:02:18,560 --> 02:02:20,440
Speaker 2: in balls, but just when you guys are in there

2811
02:02:20,520 --> 02:02:22,480
Speaker 2: watching film and you're watching some things he does, and

2812
02:02:22,520 --> 02:02:24,000
Speaker 2: you're watching some of the things you guys do.

2813
02:02:24,520 --> 02:02:26,680
Speaker 1: What's that room like? Is a good supportive group?

2814
02:02:26,800 --> 02:02:28,200
Speaker 2: Is a group you can learn from because there are

2815
02:02:28,240 --> 02:02:29,760
Speaker 2: some vets in there that have been around and seen

2816
02:02:29,840 --> 02:02:31,640
Speaker 2: some things. What's that secondary room like for you?

2817
02:02:32,480 --> 02:02:34,400
Speaker 10: I mean, the room is the room is. First off,

2818
02:02:34,440 --> 02:02:35,520
Speaker 10: it's extremely funny.

2819
02:02:35,520 --> 02:02:36,920
Speaker 13: There's a lot of guys in the room that just

2820
02:02:37,240 --> 02:02:39,400
Speaker 13: you wouldn't think they're funny, are just hilarious. I mean,

2821
02:02:39,520 --> 02:02:42,000
Speaker 13: we were super connected. We like playing with each other,

2822
02:02:42,040 --> 02:02:43,560
Speaker 13: we like playing for each other. So I just feel

2823
02:02:43,560 --> 02:02:47,400
Speaker 13: like you know from staying to Jimmy to CB even

2824
02:02:47,480 --> 02:02:50,400
Speaker 13: going to E Murray Patriots out there. I mean, it's

2825
02:02:50,440 --> 02:02:52,040
Speaker 13: just a lot of guys who play who played really

2826
02:02:52,040 --> 02:02:54,080
Speaker 13: good football, and we play what we play with a

2827
02:02:54,120 --> 02:02:56,200
Speaker 13: lot of passions. So it's just like, I know he's

2828
02:02:56,200 --> 02:02:58,240
Speaker 13: gonna do his thing, So now just motivates me more

2829
02:02:58,280 --> 02:02:58,880
Speaker 13: to go do my thing.

2830
02:02:58,960 --> 02:02:59,120
Speaker 1: Yep.

2831
02:02:59,320 --> 02:03:02,520
Speaker 3: What about playing the Dolphins and everything they've got at

2832
02:03:02,600 --> 02:03:05,360
Speaker 3: wide receiver here, there's a lot of speed, a lot

2833
02:03:05,440 --> 02:03:06,360
Speaker 3: of tough guys to cover.

2834
02:03:06,640 --> 02:03:09,160
Speaker 13: Yes, I mean they're a really good team, really explosive offense,

2835
02:03:09,160 --> 02:03:13,160
Speaker 13: starting with a quarterback, really accurate guy, been watching him

2836
02:03:13,200 --> 02:03:14,480
Speaker 13: since he was at Bama. And then you got the

2837
02:03:14,520 --> 02:03:17,560
Speaker 13: two guys on the outside. You got Tyreek Hill obviously,

2838
02:03:17,640 --> 02:03:19,240
Speaker 13: and then you got Jell and wallall right beside him.

2839
02:03:19,240 --> 02:03:21,240
Speaker 13: So I mean, you already know what you're getting yourself into.

2840
02:03:21,320 --> 02:03:24,160
Speaker 13: Explosive guys who can run routes and make explosive players

2841
02:03:24,160 --> 02:03:26,120
Speaker 13: after the catch. So it's just you gotta be You

2842
02:03:26,600 --> 02:03:28,960
Speaker 13: gotta have the right mindset going into the game, knowing

2843
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:31,360
Speaker 13: what you're about to get into and just going out

2844
02:03:31,400 --> 02:03:32,960
Speaker 13: there and being a dog comar.

2845
02:03:33,080 --> 02:03:34,680
Speaker 1: We've talked about this market a because we've been around

2846
02:03:34,680 --> 02:03:35,200
Speaker 1: here for a long time.

2847
02:03:35,200 --> 02:03:37,280
Speaker 2: We've never seen a bye week this late in the year,

2848
02:03:37,680 --> 02:03:39,360
Speaker 2: your rookie year, so it's the only thing you knew.

2849
02:03:39,440 --> 02:03:41,480
Speaker 1: But how important was it to.

2850
02:03:41,480 --> 02:03:43,600
Speaker 2: Get to buy How good was it to just kind

2851
02:03:43,640 --> 02:03:46,400
Speaker 2: of step back and mentally just release for a little

2852
02:03:46,400 --> 02:03:48,840
Speaker 2: bit physically your body, give it a chance to not

2853
02:03:49,040 --> 02:03:49,840
Speaker 2: play for a weekend.

2854
02:03:49,880 --> 02:03:50,840
Speaker 1: What was the bye like for you?

2855
02:03:51,400 --> 02:03:52,640
Speaker 10: Uh, the biele was pretty smooth.

2856
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:53,280
Speaker 4: I did.

2857
02:03:53,520 --> 02:03:54,920
Speaker 10: I didn't do a lot of traveling.

2858
02:03:55,120 --> 02:03:56,920
Speaker 13: I spent a little bit of time here just resting,

2859
02:03:57,720 --> 02:03:59,200
Speaker 13: spending time with my family, and then I went back

2860
02:03:59,200 --> 02:04:01,120
Speaker 13: home to Georgia and I spent a little bit more

2861
02:04:01,160 --> 02:04:02,960
Speaker 13: time with family, and then after that it's time to

2862
02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:03,320
Speaker 13: come back.

2863
02:04:03,800 --> 02:04:05,640
Speaker 3: What was it like growing up in Georgia? But you

2864
02:04:05,760 --> 02:04:09,000
Speaker 3: go to high school in Tuscaloosa, right, and then back

2865
02:04:09,080 --> 02:04:12,120
Speaker 3: to Georgia because that's where you're from. But was it

2866
02:04:12,160 --> 02:04:15,240
Speaker 3: a temptation at all to play at Alabama or Auburn

2867
02:04:15,480 --> 02:04:16,400
Speaker 3: or in Alabama school?

2868
02:04:17,200 --> 02:04:21,320
Speaker 13: I would say they recruited me pretty well, but Georgia

2869
02:04:21,440 --> 02:04:24,560
Speaker 13: was my last offer, so it was really it really

2870
02:04:24,640 --> 02:04:28,080
Speaker 13: annoyed me, like Kirby annoyed. He annoyed the crap out

2871
02:04:28,080 --> 02:04:30,800
Speaker 13: of me because he was my last offer. Had I

2872
02:04:30,840 --> 02:04:32,880
Speaker 13: had been to Georgia a couple of times before COVID hit,

2873
02:04:33,360 --> 02:04:35,960
Speaker 13: did a camp, did pretty well, talked to him and

2874
02:04:36,080 --> 02:04:38,480
Speaker 13: he just waited. It waited, And I remember I had

2875
02:04:38,520 --> 02:04:40,480
Speaker 13: to send videos to Georgia just because it was COVID

2876
02:04:40,720 --> 02:04:42,760
Speaker 13: and they would just make me, you know, go through

2877
02:04:42,760 --> 02:04:44,440
Speaker 13: a little bit more than other schools went through that

2878
02:04:44,520 --> 02:04:46,800
Speaker 13: I had to go through other schools, and it just

2879
02:04:46,960 --> 02:04:49,840
Speaker 13: really just put some in my like put some in

2880
02:04:49,880 --> 02:04:51,640
Speaker 13: my mind to like, I'm going back to Georgia, even

2881
02:04:51,640 --> 02:04:53,400
Speaker 13: though the whole time I LOOKI wanted to go back

2882
02:04:53,440 --> 02:04:55,320
Speaker 13: to Georgia and beginning, but I just wanted to prove

2883
02:04:55,320 --> 02:04:57,080
Speaker 13: it to myself. They're like, yeah, like I can play

2884
02:04:57,120 --> 02:04:59,240
Speaker 13: at Georgia. I can help you know, because they hadn't

2885
02:04:59,240 --> 02:05:01,680
Speaker 13: won any Natties before we got there, but they were

2886
02:05:01,720 --> 02:05:04,000
Speaker 13: really good. And I was like, I can be a

2887
02:05:04,080 --> 02:05:06,680
Speaker 13: part of the solution and go help us win championships.

2888
02:05:06,720 --> 02:05:08,680
Speaker 13: And I just put that in my mind. I told

2889
02:05:08,760 --> 02:05:10,960
Speaker 13: my parents all so.

2890
02:05:11,000 --> 02:05:12,400
Speaker 2: When I asked you about the year, you didn't win

2891
02:05:12,440 --> 02:05:15,880
Speaker 2: a Natty last year, and I know it's a bad

2892
02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:17,600
Speaker 2: thing for you guys. You lose by three in SEC

2893
02:05:17,720 --> 02:05:21,400
Speaker 2: Championship to Alabama. Alabama gets into the playoff, You guys don't.

2894
02:05:22,280 --> 02:05:24,680
Speaker 2: So you end up going to the Orange Bowl and

2895
02:05:24,760 --> 02:05:27,400
Speaker 2: you play another team that famously did not get in,

2896
02:05:27,480 --> 02:05:31,120
Speaker 2: and that's Florida State. And Florida State has a dozen

2897
02:05:31,320 --> 02:05:33,520
Speaker 2: or more guys, maybe we might have been two dozen guys.

2898
02:05:33,840 --> 02:05:36,720
Speaker 2: They aren't playing in that game because they're mad, they're

2899
02:05:36,760 --> 02:05:39,680
Speaker 2: moving on the NFL, et cetera. You at that point,

2900
02:05:39,760 --> 02:05:41,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if you decided you were going on

2901
02:05:41,200 --> 02:05:43,200
Speaker 2: in the NFL, but you decided to play that game,

2902
02:05:43,680 --> 02:05:45,360
Speaker 2: and there was a lot made about that that you

2903
02:05:45,520 --> 02:05:47,560
Speaker 2: decided to play that game instead of you know what,

2904
02:05:47,920 --> 02:05:50,360
Speaker 2: Florida State guys are out, NFL guys are out, you

2905
02:05:50,440 --> 02:05:51,680
Speaker 2: know what I'm playing? A.

2906
02:05:51,920 --> 02:05:53,480
Speaker 1: Why did you decide to play that game?

2907
02:05:53,800 --> 02:05:56,360
Speaker 2: And B when you talk to NFL people afterwards, how

2908
02:05:56,400 --> 02:05:58,520
Speaker 2: much did they ask you about playing in that game?

2909
02:05:58,600 --> 02:05:58,880
Speaker 1: And why?

2910
02:06:00,040 --> 02:06:01,840
Speaker 13: I would say the reason I played the game is

2911
02:06:01,960 --> 02:06:04,760
Speaker 13: because it was a game. It was a game on

2912
02:06:04,880 --> 02:06:08,320
Speaker 13: our schedule. I was still at Georgia. I felt like,

2913
02:06:08,840 --> 02:06:10,960
Speaker 13: you know, I came here to go to school and

2914
02:06:11,000 --> 02:06:12,760
Speaker 13: play football, and there's a game on our schedule and

2915
02:06:12,800 --> 02:06:14,960
Speaker 13: I'm completely healthy, so while would I not play? On

2916
02:06:15,080 --> 02:06:17,280
Speaker 13: top of that, we had lost our last game and

2917
02:06:17,360 --> 02:06:21,240
Speaker 13: I refuse to just in my career at Georgia with

2918
02:06:21,400 --> 02:06:23,280
Speaker 13: a L like that. I mean, it was already we

2919
02:06:23,400 --> 02:06:24,800
Speaker 13: had lost a game and then they bowed us out

2920
02:06:24,800 --> 02:06:27,040
Speaker 13: the playoffs, so it was already a lot on our minds.

2921
02:06:27,160 --> 02:06:28,680
Speaker 13: And then on top of that, I just felt like

2922
02:06:30,120 --> 02:06:32,280
Speaker 13: I just wanted to play with the guys one more time,

2923
02:06:32,320 --> 02:06:34,040
Speaker 13: you know, because I had already knew in the back

2924
02:06:34,040 --> 02:06:35,520
Speaker 13: of my head. I talked to coach, talk to my

2925
02:06:35,560 --> 02:06:36,960
Speaker 13: family like I'm gonna come out. I felt like I

2926
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:38,680
Speaker 13: had a good year, so I just wanted to play

2927
02:06:38,720 --> 02:06:40,280
Speaker 13: with the guys one more time. I'm like, we can't

2928
02:06:40,360 --> 02:06:41,560
Speaker 13: just go out with an L like I want to

2929
02:06:41,560 --> 02:06:44,160
Speaker 13: play with y'all. Let's go get a dub let's go

2930
02:06:44,320 --> 02:06:47,320
Speaker 13: enjoin Miami, let's go win, and then let let.

2931
02:06:47,280 --> 02:06:47,560
Speaker 10: It be that.

2932
02:06:47,880 --> 02:06:52,400
Speaker 2: Did you sense that because nine players that are in

2933
02:06:52,600 --> 02:06:54,520
Speaker 2: that position where you're going to be a top two

2934
02:06:54,600 --> 02:06:57,720
Speaker 2: round pick aren't playing in that game. You talk about

2935
02:06:57,760 --> 02:07:00,200
Speaker 2: a very matter of fact, but that's kind of a

2936
02:07:00,240 --> 02:07:02,200
Speaker 2: rare thing, Kmari, that you ended up playing in that

2937
02:07:02,360 --> 02:07:04,440
Speaker 2: game when a lot of guys are begging out and

2938
02:07:04,480 --> 02:07:05,640
Speaker 2: not playing because they're going on to.

2939
02:07:05,640 --> 02:07:06,200
Speaker 1: The next level.

2940
02:07:06,600 --> 02:07:09,280
Speaker 13: Yeah, I would say, it's just really the g means

2941
02:07:09,320 --> 02:07:10,920
Speaker 13: the world to me. So I just wanted to play again,

2942
02:07:11,320 --> 02:07:13,440
Speaker 13: you know, for the fans, for my teammates, for my

2943
02:07:13,520 --> 02:07:15,960
Speaker 13: coaches even I mean they they helped me a lot

2944
02:07:16,040 --> 02:07:18,000
Speaker 13: at Georgia, you know, just helped develop me. And then

2945
02:07:18,200 --> 02:07:20,360
Speaker 13: it was really for my teammates, to be honest, Yeah,

2946
02:07:20,720 --> 02:07:22,480
Speaker 13: I just want to play with my guys one one time,

2947
02:07:23,040 --> 02:07:24,760
Speaker 13: show them that, you know, I really care about them

2948
02:07:24,920 --> 02:07:25,680
Speaker 13: energy honestly.

2949
02:07:26,120 --> 02:07:28,640
Speaker 3: All right, one more for you, pregame ritual. It's brought

2950
02:07:28,680 --> 02:07:32,160
Speaker 3: you by Mattress Firm. What is your night before ritual?

2951
02:07:32,360 --> 02:07:35,280
Speaker 3: Pregame ritual? Take us through some of that Kamari has

2952
02:07:35,320 --> 02:07:36,640
Speaker 3: it changed it all as a pro.

2953
02:07:37,240 --> 02:07:40,400
Speaker 13: What can you share with us pregame ritual? I would

2954
02:07:40,400 --> 02:07:45,200
Speaker 13: say night before, I'm usually cooling. Night before, I'm usually

2955
02:07:45,280 --> 02:07:48,680
Speaker 13: with the guys, like whether we're at the hotel here

2956
02:07:49,160 --> 02:07:50,640
Speaker 13: or whether we're at the hotel out of town, like

2957
02:07:50,800 --> 02:07:53,120
Speaker 13: you know, we just I'm really just cool and just

2958
02:07:53,560 --> 02:07:57,560
Speaker 13: kicking it with the guys, honestly, laughing, talking a little smack.

2959
02:07:57,960 --> 02:07:59,560
Speaker 13: And then you know when it's time to lock in

2960
02:07:59,680 --> 02:08:01,960
Speaker 13: towards probably like ten o'clock. Then I'll go to sleep.

2961
02:08:02,000 --> 02:08:03,960
Speaker 13: But game day, I would say the biggest thing that

2962
02:08:04,040 --> 02:08:08,200
Speaker 13: I do, no matter what, before I play any game,

2963
02:08:08,560 --> 02:08:10,440
Speaker 13: I gotta pray with my mom, whether she comes on

2964
02:08:10,480 --> 02:08:12,640
Speaker 13: the sideline and we pray, whether it's on the phone

2965
02:08:12,640 --> 02:08:13,320
Speaker 13: before I warm up.

2966
02:08:13,360 --> 02:08:14,280
Speaker 4: Like that's mandatory.

2967
02:08:14,480 --> 02:08:17,120
Speaker 1: You know, that's awesome, that's fantastic. That's I think it's

2968
02:08:17,160 --> 02:08:19,160
Speaker 1: the best ritual we've heard. We've heard that is that's

2969
02:08:19,160 --> 02:08:21,880
Speaker 1: the best one that's been all year. Congratulations and good

2970
02:08:21,960 --> 02:08:23,600
Speaker 1: luck to you. Death appreciate.

2971
02:08:24,200 --> 02:08:26,560
Speaker 3: There's cornerback Camari lasted Or with us in the Hunday

2972
02:08:26,560 --> 02:08:30,240
Speaker 3: Texans Radio studio coming up. Offensive Line. They need a

2973
02:08:30,320 --> 02:08:32,720
Speaker 3: big game on Sunday. Have to pave the way for

2974
02:08:32,880 --> 02:08:35,600
Speaker 3: Joe Mixon and the past protection needed by c J.

2975
02:08:35,760 --> 02:08:39,000
Speaker 3: Stroud to execute against the Miami Dolphins because it could

2976
02:08:39,040 --> 02:08:41,200
Speaker 3: be a high scoring affair even with a good defensive game.

2977
02:08:41,280 --> 02:08:43,240
Speaker 3: Sometimes the Dolphins have you in one of those. So

2978
02:08:43,560 --> 02:08:45,640
Speaker 3: we'll talk to the old line coach about how things

2979
02:08:45,680 --> 02:08:48,440
Speaker 3: are going with the big guys up front. That's next

2980
02:08:48,520 --> 02:08:53,160
Speaker 3: on Texans All Access with us now in studio. Offensive

2981
02:08:53,200 --> 02:08:55,360
Speaker 3: Line coach. Chris Strasser, coach, it's been a while.

2982
02:08:55,400 --> 02:08:56,000
Speaker 1: How you doing.

2983
02:08:56,200 --> 02:08:58,120
Speaker 14: I'm doing great. It has been a while. I feel

2984
02:08:58,120 --> 02:09:00,480
Speaker 14: like the last time I came in here, I was

2985
02:09:00,520 --> 02:09:02,720
Speaker 14: sweating a lot. More so, I liked this time of year.

2986
02:09:02,720 --> 02:09:03,360
Speaker 14: I like this weather.

2987
02:09:03,880 --> 02:09:07,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is football weather. Good. Yeah, everybody says the

2988
02:09:07,600 --> 02:09:09,880
Speaker 1: football weather, it's snowing. It's all that.

2989
02:09:10,040 --> 02:09:12,480
Speaker 2: It's like, no, no, no, no, it's like today it's

2990
02:09:12,640 --> 02:09:14,840
Speaker 2: like forty five to fifty degrees suns out.

2991
02:09:15,400 --> 02:09:17,280
Speaker 1: That's that's football weather.

2992
02:09:17,400 --> 02:09:17,520
Speaker 8: Now.

2993
02:09:17,880 --> 02:09:20,000
Speaker 2: Maybe not though offense live coaches, you guys like a

2994
02:09:20,040 --> 02:09:22,720
Speaker 2: little grimy and gritty, but I would think that weather

2995
02:09:22,920 --> 02:09:26,760
Speaker 2: is has been great. Coach, let's look back before the bye,

2996
02:09:26,840 --> 02:09:29,640
Speaker 2: you guys played Jacksonville did a really nice job. What

2997
02:09:29,720 --> 02:09:31,000
Speaker 2: did you think of the way that you guys played

2998
02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:33,440
Speaker 2: against Jacksonville? How that was that five that started that

2999
02:09:33,600 --> 02:09:34,880
Speaker 2: game came together and played.

3000
02:09:35,120 --> 02:09:36,200
Speaker 9: I thought they competed well.

3001
02:09:36,400 --> 02:09:39,640
Speaker 14: I thought the mindset was good, you know, very intent

3002
02:09:39,880 --> 02:09:43,520
Speaker 14: on obviously doing a great job protecting our quarterback. I mean,

3003
02:09:43,600 --> 02:09:45,000
Speaker 14: we've said it all along. We feel like we got

3004
02:09:45,040 --> 02:09:46,760
Speaker 14: the best guy in the league. And it's been a

3005
02:09:46,760 --> 02:09:49,200
Speaker 14: little bit up and down this year, and we all

3006
02:09:49,240 --> 02:09:52,240
Speaker 14: acknowledge that and have been on a mission to get better.

3007
02:09:52,760 --> 02:09:54,520
Speaker 14: And you know, felt like we did that that day.

3008
02:09:54,600 --> 02:09:56,280
Speaker 14: And you know, we know when we do our job,

3009
02:09:56,360 --> 02:09:59,080
Speaker 14: that he does his job, and so you know, felt

3010
02:09:59,080 --> 02:10:00,520
Speaker 14: pretty good about that. And then I'll obviously having a

3011
02:10:00,600 --> 02:10:03,080
Speaker 14: chance to you know, seal a game with a four

3012
02:10:03,160 --> 02:10:04,800
Speaker 14: minute drive and a nice run at the end of

3013
02:10:04,840 --> 02:10:05,120
Speaker 14: the game.

3014
02:10:05,600 --> 02:10:07,000
Speaker 9: That brings a lot of joy to everybody.

3015
02:10:07,400 --> 02:10:09,640
Speaker 1: Coach, you've really cut down on the pre snap stuff.

3016
02:10:09,800 --> 02:10:12,040
Speaker 1: So how has that gone? What do you do to

3017
02:10:12,440 --> 02:10:13,840
Speaker 1: remedy that? What have you done?

3018
02:10:14,200 --> 02:10:16,440
Speaker 14: I mean, I think you know, I guess in general

3019
02:10:16,560 --> 02:10:19,000
Speaker 14: over the years, we always say you get what you emphasize,

3020
02:10:19,040 --> 02:10:21,760
Speaker 14: and so, you know, felt like it was something important

3021
02:10:21,760 --> 02:10:23,720
Speaker 14: to us early on, but you know, as we were

3022
02:10:23,720 --> 02:10:26,080
Speaker 14: putting the puzzle together, just wasn't as clean as we

3023
02:10:26,160 --> 02:10:28,320
Speaker 14: wanted and so just have made a bigger emphasis of it.

3024
02:10:28,760 --> 02:10:30,960
Speaker 14: The guys have taken I would say, maybe a next

3025
02:10:31,040 --> 02:10:33,160
Speaker 14: level just in pride and the fact that they know

3026
02:10:33,280 --> 02:10:35,480
Speaker 14: that those are you know, really hard to win games

3027
02:10:35,520 --> 02:10:37,760
Speaker 14: when you do a bunch of that, and so just

3028
02:10:37,840 --> 02:10:38,880
Speaker 14: try to step it up a little bit.

3029
02:10:39,360 --> 02:10:42,560
Speaker 1: Coach, How has JP done at center? Moving back in started?

3030
02:10:42,640 --> 02:10:45,320
Speaker 2: I think, what's seven games as a rookie and then

3031
02:10:45,560 --> 02:10:48,160
Speaker 2: comes back in after you know, there's some movement going

3032
02:10:48,200 --> 02:10:50,160
Speaker 2: on and some injuries up front. How do you think

3033
02:10:50,200 --> 02:10:51,760
Speaker 2: he's played and what do you think he's brought to

3034
02:10:51,840 --> 02:10:52,600
Speaker 2: the offensive line.

3035
02:10:52,760 --> 02:10:53,600
Speaker 9: He's done really well.

3036
02:10:53,680 --> 02:10:54,920
Speaker 14: You know, one of the things I felt so good

3037
02:10:54,920 --> 02:10:59,200
Speaker 14: about JP last year was his knowledge of just football

3038
02:10:59,280 --> 02:11:01,680
Speaker 14: in general, but our offense. He did a great job

3039
02:11:01,800 --> 02:11:04,360
Speaker 14: kind of mastering it. And then just the leader skip

3040
02:11:04,480 --> 02:11:07,320
Speaker 14: ship skills in terms of I would say elite communication.

3041
02:11:07,400 --> 02:11:09,200
Speaker 14: He's one of the best I've been around, and he's

3042
02:11:09,200 --> 02:11:11,040
Speaker 14: such a young guy. It's only going to get better.

3043
02:11:11,800 --> 02:11:13,920
Speaker 14: All that being said, what I feel best about what

3044
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:16,480
Speaker 14: he's doing right now, Like I think his his physical

3045
02:11:16,520 --> 02:11:18,720
Speaker 14: game is caught up to where he was mentally and

3046
02:11:18,880 --> 02:11:21,240
Speaker 14: really has done a nice job really in both phases

3047
02:11:21,240 --> 02:11:23,480
Speaker 14: of the game protection and run game. So, you know,

3048
02:11:23,600 --> 02:11:25,120
Speaker 14: really happy with what Jap's doing right now.

3049
02:11:25,280 --> 02:11:25,800
Speaker 1: It seems like.

3050
02:11:25,800 --> 02:11:28,800
Speaker 3: Every time you get something solidified, injury bug bites and

3051
02:11:28,880 --> 02:11:30,320
Speaker 3: you have to reshuffle the deck.

3052
02:11:30,640 --> 02:11:32,560
Speaker 1: How do you go about making those decisions?

3053
02:11:32,600 --> 02:11:35,480
Speaker 3: Because I got to think, in practice, yeah, you're in

3054
02:11:35,640 --> 02:11:37,640
Speaker 3: pads sometimes, but it's hard to really tell it.

3055
02:11:37,760 --> 02:11:40,720
Speaker 1: So you get into a game situation, right right, Well.

3056
02:11:40,600 --> 02:11:42,200
Speaker 14: We spend as much time as we can early on

3057
02:11:42,240 --> 02:11:44,600
Speaker 14: in training camp moving guys around and cross training, and

3058
02:11:44,840 --> 02:11:47,360
Speaker 14: really even as the season goes on, and you know,

3059
02:11:47,400 --> 02:11:49,200
Speaker 14: we try and get guys, you know, trying to have

3060
02:11:49,560 --> 02:11:51,200
Speaker 14: you know, four or five guys that are capable of

3061
02:11:51,280 --> 02:11:53,640
Speaker 14: snapping the ball just in case. To your point, they

3062
02:11:53,640 --> 02:11:55,360
Speaker 14: don't really get a ton of practice reps at at

3063
02:11:55,400 --> 02:11:57,640
Speaker 14: this time of year. But I think, you know, it's

3064
02:11:57,760 --> 02:12:01,360
Speaker 14: enough accumulated reps throughout when camp started and now that

3065
02:12:02,200 --> 02:12:04,600
Speaker 14: there's some challenges to jump into different spots, but I

3066
02:12:04,680 --> 02:12:06,360
Speaker 14: think guys are mentally prepared for it.

3067
02:12:07,040 --> 02:12:07,320
Speaker 1: Coach.

3068
02:12:07,640 --> 02:12:11,480
Speaker 2: With Joe running the football, you're different than than last

3069
02:12:11,560 --> 02:12:14,520
Speaker 2: year with Devin and Damian running the football majority of

3070
02:12:14,560 --> 02:12:16,640
Speaker 2: the time, and the offensive line a lot of those

3071
02:12:16,680 --> 02:12:18,280
Speaker 2: you know, those guys were there last year.

3072
02:12:18,800 --> 02:12:20,000
Speaker 1: Is it different blocking for a.

3073
02:12:20,040 --> 02:12:23,520
Speaker 2: Guy like Joe because of Joe's style, the fact that

3074
02:12:24,000 --> 02:12:27,120
Speaker 2: Joe's going forward, there's not gonna be much dancing, like

3075
02:12:27,200 --> 02:12:28,720
Speaker 2: you better get out the way you're gonna get run

3076
02:12:28,760 --> 02:12:31,120
Speaker 2: over to Is there a difference in the way that

3077
02:12:31,240 --> 02:12:34,440
Speaker 2: you approach it and coaching it and the guys executing

3078
02:12:34,520 --> 02:12:36,960
Speaker 2: it because of the way Joe runs versus maybe with

3079
02:12:37,040 --> 02:12:38,080
Speaker 2: the guys ran it last year.

3080
02:12:38,200 --> 02:12:40,200
Speaker 14: I would say, really in terms of how we coach it,

3081
02:12:40,440 --> 02:12:42,760
Speaker 14: know and how we really for the most part try

3082
02:12:42,800 --> 02:12:45,160
Speaker 14: and block things, know, I would say that our group

3083
02:12:45,280 --> 02:12:48,480
Speaker 14: is very motivated by the way that Joe Mixon runs.

3084
02:12:48,640 --> 02:12:50,640
Speaker 14: They get excited. They know that if we can handle

3085
02:12:50,720 --> 02:12:52,800
Speaker 14: the first two levels, that he's got a chance to

3086
02:12:52,880 --> 02:12:55,480
Speaker 14: do something being at that next level. And he We're

3087
02:12:55,520 --> 02:12:57,080
Speaker 14: all aware of the fact that not too many safeties

3088
02:12:57,120 --> 02:12:59,160
Speaker 14: are excited about tackling him, and so I think our

3089
02:12:59,200 --> 02:13:01,160
Speaker 14: guys are very motive motivated to get him to that

3090
02:13:01,200 --> 02:13:03,200
Speaker 14: safety level. But really, I think, you know, in terms

3091
02:13:03,240 --> 02:13:04,680
Speaker 14: of the technique stuff, it's the same as we did

3092
02:13:04,720 --> 02:13:05,120
Speaker 14: last year.

3093
02:13:05,320 --> 02:13:07,800
Speaker 3: Offensive line coach Chris Strausser joining us, So how do

3094
02:13:07,920 --> 02:13:11,160
Speaker 3: you coach everybody blocking? Because you have the line the

3095
02:13:11,400 --> 02:13:12,960
Speaker 3: run at the end of the game that's sealed the deal.

3096
02:13:13,000 --> 02:13:15,120
Speaker 3: The other day, well, the other day against Jacksonville, the

3097
02:13:15,200 --> 02:13:17,920
Speaker 3: last time you were out there, Robert Woods throws a block.

3098
02:13:18,360 --> 02:13:21,040
Speaker 3: So does he become an honorary offensive lineman at that point?

3099
02:13:21,160 --> 02:13:23,200
Speaker 3: How do you go about coaching that as a team?

3100
02:13:23,400 --> 02:13:23,560
Speaker 8: Right?

3101
02:13:23,880 --> 02:13:25,000
Speaker 9: I mean, I think it's an emphasis.

3102
02:13:25,120 --> 02:13:28,720
Speaker 14: Like you know, we start our training camp installed talking

3103
02:13:28,720 --> 02:13:30,320
Speaker 14: about the run game, and the very first thing we

3104
02:13:30,400 --> 02:13:31,960
Speaker 14: say is our run game is going to be great

3105
02:13:32,160 --> 02:13:34,600
Speaker 14: if our receivers are great in the run game. And

3106
02:13:34,720 --> 02:13:36,920
Speaker 14: our guys have taken tremendous pride in that, and nobody

3107
02:13:36,960 --> 02:13:40,320
Speaker 14: more so than than Robert, like what he's done for

3108
02:13:40,480 --> 02:13:42,560
Speaker 14: us really all you know, just his leadership and all

3109
02:13:42,600 --> 02:13:45,520
Speaker 14: this stuff, but really, as in the run game is blocking.

3110
02:13:45,640 --> 02:13:46,640
Speaker 9: Is It's unbelievable.

3111
02:13:46,760 --> 02:13:49,320
Speaker 14: And again you talk about like guys being other guys

3112
02:13:49,400 --> 02:13:52,320
Speaker 14: being motivated, like they see a guy like that who

3113
02:13:52,680 --> 02:13:54,640
Speaker 14: has been an elite receiver for a lot of years

3114
02:13:55,000 --> 02:13:57,000
Speaker 14: having that type of impact in the run game.

3115
02:13:57,120 --> 02:13:58,000
Speaker 9: It excites everybody.

3116
02:13:58,320 --> 02:13:58,520
Speaker 1: Coach.

3117
02:13:58,560 --> 02:13:59,880
Speaker 2: One of the things that we talk about a lot.

3118
02:14:00,000 --> 02:14:02,640
Speaker 2: We've talked about this with Tamiko. You get late in

3119
02:14:02,720 --> 02:14:05,200
Speaker 2: the year. It's not all at of practice time you

3120
02:14:05,280 --> 02:14:08,520
Speaker 2: put into tackling because you just can't. I mean, that's

3121
02:14:09,200 --> 02:14:12,200
Speaker 2: you know, via the CBA, you just can't have contact

3122
02:14:12,240 --> 02:14:15,960
Speaker 2: all the time. The linebackers, defensive front, those guys tackling

3123
02:14:16,040 --> 02:14:18,440
Speaker 2: and you guys up front. It's the big part of

3124
02:14:18,480 --> 02:14:20,400
Speaker 2: what you guys do. But you don't get as much

3125
02:14:20,480 --> 02:14:23,400
Speaker 2: opportunity to kind of work on it as you would like.

3126
02:14:23,520 --> 02:14:26,600
Speaker 2: So with that being said, how do you guys kind

3127
02:14:26,600 --> 02:14:29,840
Speaker 2: of work on the physical aspect of stuff When you get.

3128
02:14:29,760 --> 02:14:31,360
Speaker 14: Late in the year like this, it can be a

3129
02:14:31,440 --> 02:14:34,120
Speaker 14: real challenge, especially when you know, like you said, we

3130
02:14:34,200 --> 02:14:35,920
Speaker 14: got to move guys around to different spots. But I

3131
02:14:36,000 --> 02:14:38,560
Speaker 14: think you know, just the banked reps and like, really

3132
02:14:38,600 --> 02:14:40,880
Speaker 14: you think back to the off season stuff and everybody's like, ah,

3133
02:14:40,920 --> 02:14:44,040
Speaker 14: you know, off season and training camp and those reps

3134
02:14:44,080 --> 02:14:46,600
Speaker 14: are so important because just what you said, we don't

3135
02:14:46,760 --> 02:14:48,680
Speaker 14: get the reps at this time of the year. And

3136
02:14:48,760 --> 02:14:52,000
Speaker 14: so if guys really have ingrained in them exactly what

3137
02:14:52,120 --> 02:14:54,480
Speaker 14: it needs to feel like, then they're really in pretty

3138
02:14:54,520 --> 02:14:55,960
Speaker 14: good shape to show up on Game D and be

3139
02:14:56,000 --> 02:14:56,480
Speaker 14: ready to roll.

3140
02:14:56,760 --> 02:14:59,880
Speaker 3: As the offensive line coach the line room, I know

3141
02:15:00,120 --> 02:15:02,800
Speaker 3: there's a different ethic about the whole thing with this group,

3142
02:15:02,840 --> 02:15:05,120
Speaker 3: which is the closest position group on the team with

3143
02:15:05,840 --> 02:15:08,200
Speaker 3: all of football really, and I remember back in the

3144
02:15:08,240 --> 02:15:10,000
Speaker 3: day here, guys used to find each other for doing

3145
02:15:10,040 --> 02:15:11,920
Speaker 3: interviews and fun stuff like that. Really, I think they

3146
02:15:11,960 --> 02:15:13,960
Speaker 3: throw a party at the end of the year. Is

3147
02:15:14,040 --> 02:15:16,200
Speaker 3: that something you let them handle? Do you kind of

3148
02:15:16,520 --> 02:15:18,480
Speaker 3: guide them through those things. I mean, how do you

3149
02:15:18,560 --> 02:15:20,400
Speaker 3: go about that as the coach? I think it's different

3150
02:15:20,440 --> 02:15:23,880
Speaker 3: every year. The two years that I've been here, they've

3151
02:15:23,880 --> 02:15:25,760
Speaker 3: handled it pretty well. You know, we've got guys in

3152
02:15:25,800 --> 02:15:28,200
Speaker 3: the room that like to run the show.

3153
02:15:28,760 --> 02:15:31,080
Speaker 14: This year, Scott Quisinberry's in charge of it, and he

3154
02:15:31,520 --> 02:15:34,280
Speaker 14: does a great job and lets nothing slip at all,

3155
02:15:34,800 --> 02:15:35,640
Speaker 14: including myself.

3156
02:15:36,240 --> 02:15:39,120
Speaker 9: So but I've had years where I've had to.

3157
02:15:39,120 --> 02:15:41,040
Speaker 14: Really kind of motivate them and remind them and keep

3158
02:15:41,080 --> 02:15:42,520
Speaker 14: them going, and then they kind of figure it out

3159
02:15:42,560 --> 02:15:44,240
Speaker 14: and enjoy it. And it really is it's a lot

3160
02:15:44,280 --> 02:15:45,880
Speaker 14: of things. But one of the things is it really

3161
02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:48,840
Speaker 14: is about accountability. And the second thing is just what

3162
02:15:48,960 --> 02:15:50,960
Speaker 14: you mentioned in terms of like the tightness in the group,

3163
02:15:51,080 --> 02:15:54,160
Speaker 14: Like we know that there is an element of us

3164
02:15:54,200 --> 02:15:56,600
Speaker 14: having to circle the wagons in our room, right nothing ever,

3165
02:15:57,040 --> 02:15:59,200
Speaker 14: well very really is there going to be a lot

3166
02:15:59,200 --> 02:16:01,080
Speaker 14: of stuff pointed out good that what we do it's

3167
02:16:01,120 --> 02:16:02,440
Speaker 14: going to be the opposite. And so we have to

3168
02:16:02,480 --> 02:16:05,200
Speaker 14: have each other's back and trust each other and push

3169
02:16:05,280 --> 02:16:06,760
Speaker 14: each other and hold each other accountable.

3170
02:16:07,240 --> 02:16:10,120
Speaker 9: But I think there really is something to that room

3171
02:16:10,240 --> 02:16:11,240
Speaker 9: having to have tightness.

3172
02:16:12,160 --> 02:16:13,960
Speaker 2: I'll say a few names. Coach, you just tell me

3173
02:16:14,040 --> 02:16:19,520
Speaker 2: your thoughts. Zach Siler, Chlais Campbell, the Miami Dolphins. Your

3174
02:16:19,560 --> 02:16:22,120
Speaker 2: thoughts about facing Miami this week? And one of the

3175
02:16:22,120 --> 02:16:24,720
Speaker 2: things I always always love to ask off. It's a

3176
02:16:24,760 --> 02:16:27,240
Speaker 2: lot of coaches. You see different fronts all the time.

3177
02:16:27,760 --> 02:16:30,320
Speaker 2: You see defensive fronts that are constructed differently, like that

3178
02:16:30,480 --> 02:16:33,279
Speaker 2: might be an even front, but they may have bigger

3179
02:16:33,320 --> 02:16:36,720
Speaker 2: guys up front. Then you know what you're used to

3180
02:16:36,800 --> 02:16:39,400
Speaker 2: facing with even front teams, and you might face not front,

3181
02:16:39,560 --> 02:16:41,920
Speaker 2: and then you get guys that look like Siler and Campbell.

3182
02:16:42,600 --> 02:16:44,560
Speaker 2: Your thoughts about facing Miami this week and what kind

3183
02:16:44,600 --> 02:16:45,640
Speaker 2: of problems they present?

3184
02:16:45,879 --> 02:16:48,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean Calias Campbell. I can't tell you how

3185
02:16:48,879 --> 02:16:51,360
Speaker 14: much respect I have for that guy. The length that

3186
02:16:51,440 --> 02:16:55,280
Speaker 14: he's played, the way that he plays, what I constantly

3187
02:16:55,320 --> 02:16:57,160
Speaker 14: hear about him, like the impact he has on every

3188
02:16:57,200 --> 02:16:59,920
Speaker 14: team he's on. And it's just mind bogging me to

3189
02:17:00,040 --> 02:17:02,160
Speaker 14: watch this guy just going out there and continually just

3190
02:17:02,240 --> 02:17:04,480
Speaker 14: doing his thing and making plays. Like you mentioned it,

3191
02:17:04,520 --> 02:17:07,760
Speaker 14: I mean that this is a massive man, a long body,

3192
02:17:08,280 --> 02:17:11,320
Speaker 14: and he knows how to use that to his advantage.

3193
02:17:11,440 --> 02:17:16,080
Speaker 14: And Jack Siler is playing extremely good football. He does

3194
02:17:16,160 --> 02:17:19,240
Speaker 14: a lot of different things, but he's also a big body,

3195
02:17:19,600 --> 02:17:23,760
Speaker 14: right these two guys inside, Yes, and really Campbell ends

3196
02:17:23,840 --> 02:17:25,920
Speaker 14: up playing in their sub package out on the edge

3197
02:17:25,959 --> 02:17:26,720
Speaker 14: quite a bit as well.

3198
02:17:26,840 --> 02:17:29,680
Speaker 3: So really impressed by those two guys. All right, you

3199
02:17:30,080 --> 02:17:32,800
Speaker 3: coached a lot in college. What do you think of

3200
02:17:32,879 --> 02:17:36,240
Speaker 3: the way it is now? Because it's crazy, coach, you

3201
02:17:36,320 --> 02:17:38,840
Speaker 3: got the nil and you escape just in time. It

3202
02:17:38,920 --> 02:17:42,080
Speaker 3: appears into the NFL. But now you're some NFL guys

3203
02:17:42,320 --> 02:17:45,480
Speaker 3: obviously one big name this week going to college. What

3204
02:17:45,520 --> 02:17:47,120
Speaker 3: do you think of the college scene right now as

3205
02:17:47,160 --> 02:17:48,519
Speaker 3: you observe it from afar.

3206
02:17:48,440 --> 02:17:50,120
Speaker 9: Oh, I think it's wonderful. I'm so happy I'm not

3207
02:17:50,200 --> 02:17:50,520
Speaker 9: part of it.

3208
02:17:52,120 --> 02:17:53,440
Speaker 14: I love to watch it. I love to hear the

3209
02:17:53,440 --> 02:17:55,280
Speaker 14: complaints from all my friends that are still doing it.

3210
02:17:56,440 --> 02:17:58,120
Speaker 14: I think it's you know, I think it's gotten out

3211
02:17:58,120 --> 02:18:01,920
Speaker 14: of hand. And you know, I'm not saying I don't

3212
02:18:01,920 --> 02:18:03,600
Speaker 14: know whose fault that is, but I think they got

3213
02:18:03,720 --> 02:18:05,200
Speaker 14: to find a way to real this thing back in

3214
02:18:05,400 --> 02:18:08,800
Speaker 14: And I trust me, I'm happy that college kids are

3215
02:18:08,800 --> 02:18:10,600
Speaker 14: getting some money. I know when I was there they

3216
02:18:10,640 --> 02:18:11,840
Speaker 14: were getting a lot of money too. I mean, I

3217
02:18:11,879 --> 02:18:13,880
Speaker 14: don't know what a college degree at University of Washington

3218
02:18:14,040 --> 02:18:16,000
Speaker 14: was but it's not cheap. And they got a lot

3219
02:18:16,040 --> 02:18:18,560
Speaker 14: of food, and they got a lot of stuff, they

3220
02:18:18,640 --> 02:18:20,200
Speaker 14: got a lot of money, and so I think that's

3221
02:18:20,200 --> 02:18:23,480
Speaker 14: gotten a little bit out of hand. And in terms

3222
02:18:23,520 --> 02:18:25,840
Speaker 14: of like Bill Bilichick going back, I mean, I think

3223
02:18:25,879 --> 02:18:28,080
Speaker 14: that's awesome, I really do. I mean, here's here is

3224
02:18:28,160 --> 02:18:32,600
Speaker 14: a just a true football coach, no nonsense. He'll have

3225
02:18:32,720 --> 02:18:36,240
Speaker 14: someone on his staff that handles all that kind of mechanics.

3226
02:18:36,800 --> 02:18:39,040
Speaker 14: But I think it's great for college football coach.

3227
02:18:39,120 --> 02:18:43,680
Speaker 2: Do you see crossover more now than ever before of

3228
02:18:43,800 --> 02:18:47,680
Speaker 2: some things that teams are doing that well? You know that, man,

3229
02:18:47,680 --> 02:18:49,320
Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of that in college, and now

3230
02:18:49,400 --> 02:18:51,360
Speaker 2: it's coming to the NFL. Do you see kind of

3231
02:18:51,560 --> 02:18:54,720
Speaker 2: more crossover now some of the fronts and schemes and

3232
02:18:54,840 --> 02:18:57,400
Speaker 2: things that you're seeing that may have come from college

3233
02:18:57,440 --> 02:18:59,160
Speaker 2: that you see more in the NFL. Or do you

3234
02:18:59,280 --> 02:19:01,920
Speaker 2: still see them as you know, they're still pretty separate

3235
02:19:01,959 --> 02:19:02,480
Speaker 2: from what they do.

3236
02:19:02,640 --> 02:19:03,040
Speaker 4: Let's say it.

3237
02:19:03,160 --> 02:19:05,120
Speaker 14: You know, maybe a handful of things on the offensive

3238
02:19:05,160 --> 02:19:07,000
Speaker 14: side of the ball. You know, of course, there's guys

3239
02:19:07,040 --> 02:19:09,000
Speaker 14: in the game that has spent a lot of time

3240
02:19:09,040 --> 02:19:11,560
Speaker 14: in college. Like I'm Cliff Kingsbury and some of these

3241
02:19:11,600 --> 02:19:14,240
Speaker 14: guys that really spent a lot of time in college

3242
02:19:14,280 --> 02:19:16,120
Speaker 14: and some of that stuff shows up in the NFL.

3243
02:19:16,200 --> 02:19:19,120
Speaker 14: But I think it, you know, just from my experience

3244
02:19:19,240 --> 02:19:21,640
Speaker 14: being in college for twenty eight years, it really trickles

3245
02:19:21,680 --> 02:19:22,200
Speaker 14: the other way a.

3246
02:19:22,240 --> 02:19:24,120
Speaker 1: Lot more interesting.

3247
02:19:24,240 --> 02:19:26,240
Speaker 3: Okay, So a couple of names I wanted to throw

3248
02:19:26,240 --> 02:19:28,000
Speaker 3: at you, because we've talked a lot about Laramie and

3249
02:19:28,000 --> 02:19:31,160
Speaker 3: Titus over the year, and Shaq Mason. But what about

3250
02:19:31,360 --> 02:19:34,400
Speaker 3: so Zach Thomas. I see him out there sometimes and

3251
02:19:34,560 --> 02:19:36,440
Speaker 3: we're playing the Dolphins, so I'm gonna get very confused

3252
02:19:36,480 --> 02:19:38,280
Speaker 3: saying the name is Zach Thomas, but this is the

3253
02:19:38,360 --> 02:19:41,040
Speaker 3: offensive lineman of the Houston Texans, Zach Thomas. So give

3254
02:19:41,080 --> 02:19:43,440
Speaker 3: me something on him and Blake Fisher. A little progress

3255
02:19:43,480 --> 02:19:45,720
Speaker 3: report on Blake and his rookie season, right, Yeah, now,

3256
02:19:45,840 --> 02:19:48,240
Speaker 3: Zach were It's it was a great pickup for us.

3257
02:19:48,879 --> 02:19:50,360
Speaker 3: He's a guy that we feel like has a really

3258
02:19:50,360 --> 02:19:53,560
Speaker 3: bright future. He's an athletic guy, ran four nine at

3259
02:19:53,600 --> 02:19:55,800
Speaker 3: the combine that shows up on tape sometimes, which is

3260
02:19:55,840 --> 02:19:59,240
Speaker 3: fun to see, you know. Smart guy, has great passion

3261
02:19:59,280 --> 02:20:02,320
Speaker 3: for the game. Tough guy, strong guy, all the stuff.

3262
02:20:02,400 --> 02:20:04,840
Speaker 14: That you'd like to see for really what still is

3263
02:20:04,879 --> 02:20:07,800
Speaker 14: a young guy and so we're hoping to get a

3264
02:20:07,879 --> 02:20:09,920
Speaker 14: chance to get him out there and play a little bit.

3265
02:20:10,240 --> 02:20:14,080
Speaker 14: And then Blake really has progressed nicely. He's had the

3266
02:20:14,240 --> 02:20:17,200
Speaker 14: challenge of having to be the swing tackle, and as

3267
02:20:17,240 --> 02:20:19,200
Speaker 14: a rookie sometimes that's a challenge to have to really

3268
02:20:19,240 --> 02:20:21,480
Speaker 14: try and master both spots. And a lot of times

3269
02:20:21,560 --> 02:20:23,800
Speaker 14: the swing tackle is a more veteran guy that maybe

3270
02:20:23,840 --> 02:20:26,320
Speaker 14: has passed his prime, but can go filling in either spot.

3271
02:20:26,400 --> 02:20:29,119
Speaker 14: So I'm proud of Blake for, you know, really stepping

3272
02:20:29,200 --> 02:20:31,320
Speaker 14: up to the challenge and never flinching at that coach.

3273
02:20:31,360 --> 02:20:33,280
Speaker 2: This is a question I get from people all the time,

3274
02:20:33,959 --> 02:20:37,520
Speaker 2: and you talk about Blake, and it triggered Blake being

3275
02:20:37,560 --> 02:20:39,040
Speaker 2: a swing tackle. He's got to be able to play

3276
02:20:39,160 --> 02:20:43,840
Speaker 2: right and left. How difficult can that be to learn

3277
02:20:44,080 --> 02:20:47,039
Speaker 2: both positions? Because if you think about footwork and hands

3278
02:20:47,080 --> 02:20:49,800
Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff, it's completely opposite. It's

3279
02:20:49,840 --> 02:20:51,360
Speaker 2: like working in a mirror in some sense. But how

3280
02:20:51,440 --> 02:20:54,360
Speaker 2: hard is that for a young dude in particular to

3281
02:20:54,520 --> 02:20:55,880
Speaker 2: learn both left and right tackle.

3282
02:20:56,200 --> 02:20:57,160
Speaker 9: I think it's a real challenge.

3283
02:20:57,320 --> 02:20:59,000
Speaker 14: And again, like I said, you know, I'm proud of

3284
02:20:59,040 --> 02:21:01,520
Speaker 14: the way Blake has embrace that because it's not easy.

3285
02:21:01,560 --> 02:21:04,000
Speaker 14: He could very easily, you know, be frustrated and say,

3286
02:21:04,040 --> 02:21:05,400
Speaker 14: can I just not get good at one of these

3287
02:21:05,440 --> 02:21:06,400
Speaker 14: and then go get good at the other.

3288
02:21:06,720 --> 02:21:08,320
Speaker 9: It really is significantly different.

3289
02:21:09,320 --> 02:21:11,480
Speaker 14: Some guys handle it better than others, yep, because they

3290
02:21:11,560 --> 02:21:13,120
Speaker 14: have a really good feel for the game and it

3291
02:21:13,200 --> 02:21:15,200
Speaker 14: doesn't phase them. But there's a lot of guys that

3292
02:21:15,840 --> 02:21:18,080
Speaker 14: like I think LT is one of the best, if

3293
02:21:18,120 --> 02:21:20,120
Speaker 14: not the best, pass protecting left tackle in the NFL.

3294
02:21:20,120 --> 02:21:21,560
Speaker 14: If I went out to practice today and said, hey,

3295
02:21:21,760 --> 02:21:24,040
Speaker 14: you're on the right side today, I'm not sure how

3296
02:21:24,040 --> 02:21:24,480
Speaker 14: that would look.

3297
02:21:24,879 --> 02:21:27,360
Speaker 3: All right, coach, I've got one more for you. This

3298
02:21:27,520 --> 02:21:30,280
Speaker 3: is your first time living in Houston, right, So how

3299
02:21:30,360 --> 02:21:32,280
Speaker 3: do you like Houston? What do you think of the city.

3300
02:21:32,360 --> 02:21:34,520
Speaker 3: What are your impressions. You've lived a lot of places

3301
02:21:34,600 --> 02:21:35,200
Speaker 3: in your career.

3302
02:21:35,480 --> 02:21:37,400
Speaker 9: It's been great, really has been great.

3303
02:21:38,680 --> 02:21:40,520
Speaker 14: I would say that it's a better place to live

3304
02:21:40,560 --> 02:21:42,800
Speaker 14: than visit, you know, because over the four years that

3305
02:21:42,879 --> 02:21:45,560
Speaker 14: I came here great and I visited, I was like, yeah,

3306
02:21:45,560 --> 02:21:47,120
Speaker 14: I'm not sure that this will be the spot for me.

3307
02:21:47,240 --> 02:21:49,320
Speaker 14: But I moved here and had a chance to really

3308
02:21:49,360 --> 02:21:51,520
Speaker 14: take it in and embrace it. And it's been awesome.

3309
02:21:51,680 --> 02:21:54,400
Speaker 14: You know, the people are great. Obviously, the food's tremendous.

3310
02:21:55,080 --> 02:21:56,640
Speaker 14: I live close to the stadium, so I don't even

3311
02:21:56,640 --> 02:21:58,200
Speaker 14: know what the traffic is here. I don't deal with it.

3312
02:21:58,440 --> 02:21:59,920
Speaker 9: So it's been a good place to live.

3313
02:22:00,160 --> 02:22:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. That is the that's the line. That's exactly it.

3314
02:22:02,959 --> 02:22:05,000
Speaker 1: You gotta live here. You gotta live here.

3315
02:22:05,080 --> 02:22:07,640
Speaker 2: You visit, you're like, eh, okay, no, but you live here,

3316
02:22:07,720 --> 02:22:09,480
Speaker 2: and then you're like, oh okay, I get it. Yeah,

3317
02:22:09,520 --> 02:22:11,600
Speaker 2: it's the lifestyle and if you could avoid the traffic,

3318
02:22:12,080 --> 02:22:14,920
Speaker 2: you want. Coaches, you at the lottery with that. Coach,

3319
02:22:14,959 --> 02:22:16,760
Speaker 2: Thanks a love for joining us, Good luck, Thank you guys.

3320
02:22:16,920 --> 02:22:18,800

3323
02:22:24,000 --> 02:22:27,520

3324
02:22:27,560 --> 02:22:30,720
Speaker 3: but cleaning it up as of late. So John Harris
