1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Welcome into Texans All Access on a Tuesday. It's Week five,

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: one more game before the bye week. The Texans hope

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: to head into it with a win. Welcome in Mark

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: Vandermer once again, Drew Doherty joining me as we try

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: to get things right with another AFC self division rival.

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: So maybe this will be a good get right game.

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: It should be. It has been for the last decade.

8
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: Think about it. Last game of the two thousand and

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: ten season, you beat the Jaguars. You win every single

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: game against them except for the two and thirteen and

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: the two and seventeen. Since four games since the end

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: of the season against this That's that's a really interesting

13
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: way to put it. That last game in twenty ten

14
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: was to go to six and ten, and that was

15
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: the Gary Kubiak's going to remain the coach of this

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: football team. And guess what, Wade Phillips is going to

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: be the defensive coordinator because bum Phillips showed up a

18
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: practice that week with Dan Pastorini. I'll never forget that

19
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: prior to that season ending game. So you're telling me

20
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: the Jags have beaten the Texans four times since then

21
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: since then, and the Texans have won every other matchup,

22
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: and there there was a sweep in twenty thirteen and

23
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Interesting. Well, this is tough, though they're a

24
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: lot better. Yeah, we all know this. I saw parts

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: of the game last week. Obviously the Texans were playing

26
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: at the time when the Jags took on Philadelphia. But

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: that was a turnover fest for Jacksonville. You cannot count

28
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: on that. But I would love another one for them

29
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: this Sunday. Four fumbles. By the way, it's Mark's birthday

30
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: and my birthday. Would you like four fumbles for Sunday?

31
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: Happy birthday? Yes? Thanks? Can I ask for something more

32
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: specific than that? Okay, let's say you can what did

33
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: Johnny say on the Monday or tied at eight thirty

34
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: remaining in the game, or down by three four fumbles

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: by Jacksonville or I'll take the four fumbles over that.

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: You'll take four? Yeah, because the Texans have been within

37
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: three or had the lead with eight thirty to go

38
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: in the game, every one of these games, right, and

39
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: Johnny researched that. If you say, would you rather have

40
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: that this Sunday or four fumble? Let me Trevor Lawrence,

41
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: let me oh sorry, go ahead, all right, or one

42
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: hundred yards rushing. Oh well you got that last weekends

43
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: four fumbles, I would entice you. We haven't gotten one

44
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: hundred yards. I got one hundred and thirty out of

45
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: Pierce this last weekend, and it did not get the

46
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: team over the time it usually does. Do the trick.

47
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: What if it's one hundred What if I make it

48
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: two hundred, one hundred yards rushing? I might still take

49
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: the four fumbles dB. I think two hundred options of

50
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: things that happened on Sunday that you could have again

51
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: with the Bears had two eighty one and almost lost

52
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: to the Texans. So I don't know. I feel better

53
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: about four fumbles. But then again, I agree with the

54
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: Texans got five takeaways against the Buccaneers a couple of

55
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: years ago, and that came down to the final minute,

56
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Like you should have blown those guys out of the water.

57
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: The Dolphins last year on the road, one team at

58
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: five and one team at four turnovers. I think there

59
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 1: were nine turnovers. I think the Texans actually had fewer

60
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: turnovers than the Dolphins and still lost. Okay, remember the

61
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: post game very vaguely. I've played blocked it out of

62
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: my mind. That's good. Texans history brought to you by

63
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: the show often morphs into that and it just doesn't

64
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: feel right. Well, It's like our conversation with m J. Stewart.

65
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: We started off talking about special teams, which I'm sure

66
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: we're going to get to in this hour, but then

67
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: somehow we got into flipping homes because that's his in

68
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: the off season, and I'm like, I could we could

69
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: have talked about that for another hour. But anyway, we

70
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: do have some hot reads, so let's get it back

71
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: on track, get into some hot reads. Saw the reports

72
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: earlier today Texans releasing tight end Farrell Brown. His time

73
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: as a Texan looks like it's coming to an end.

74
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: He caught seven passes for seventy two yards this year,

75
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: averaging ten point three yards per catch, but he was

76
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: inactive for Week four. He was dealing with hip and

77
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. He was sort of questionable heading into the game.

78
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: He was limited in practice, but signed with the Texans

79
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty around Week three at Pittsburgh. Really had

80
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: a great season, caught two touchdown passes that season, and

81
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: then last year was your starting tight end. But you know,

82
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: the Texans decided part ways in a year where you

83
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: thought tight ends were going to be a big part

84
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: of especially with how banged up this group was in camp.

85
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: That's the big thing. You know, what happens at the

86
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: tight end position. Now, who's going to be the most

87
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: effective blocker of the bunch, who maybe collectively will block

88
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: well for you? Farrel Brown was supposed to be able

89
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: to do that and catch the football. Well, he made

90
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: some place with his team, no doubt about it. But

91
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: it's been an interesting position when you have two guys

92
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: who weren't in training camp with you who are contributing

93
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: in Oj Howard and Jordan Nakins. Least, Dakins knows his

94
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: way around the building, not the offense necessarily, although he's

95
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: fitting in pretty well so far. I'm so glad they

96
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: were able to snatch him upright because he's a former

97
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: Texan and a current Texan. And we'll see where it

98
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: takes you from here. Clearly, this position group is not

99
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: working out the way you drew it up. And Tiguan Coutiano,

100
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: his injury, is playing into this all right. Maybe he's

101
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: ready to come back, that'd be great, but it's got

102
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: to happen with him at some point. This season, so

103
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: you can see what you got with that draft choice.

104
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: You really haven't had an overly productive player at the

105
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: position since Owen Daniels left. Ryan Griffin hung around, he

106
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: was a solid two or three, but you've just not

107
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: had a stuff I mean, I know Darren Fells had

108
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: the one season where he caught all those touchdowns, but

109
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: that was kind of all he caught. And you really

110
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: haven't had the consistency at a high, high level like

111
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: you did with Owen. I have brock Oswiler on the phone,

112
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: and he disagrees because the most production for the tight

113
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: end position group was in twenty sixteen when Griffin three

114
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: of them and Fedora Witz were leading the charge right

115
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: and Steven Anderson was the other. Oh yea under John Perry.

116
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: That was a very productive year for the tight ends. Yeah,

117
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: I think had Fedora would stayed healthy. He's not Owen Daniels.

118
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: He's a different kind of players, more of a blocker

119
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: who can catch the ball. Daniels can do a little

120
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: bit of everything, and obviously a great receiver, the best

121
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: receiving tight end in the history of this franchise. Oh,

122
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: Billy Miller's on the phone now and would like to

123
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: talk now, I said, since Owen Dan, Yeah, I know

124
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: now Billy, Billy would admit that Od's better. But Billy

125
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: was pretty good for this team leading receiver in year one.

126
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, though, you mentioned blocking tight ends

127
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: on that seventy five yard touchdown run by Damian Pierce.

128
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: OJ Howard have a nice plot. Yes he did. He

129
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: was like Troy Hairston and then OJ Howard and commediately

130
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: after that. So yeah, and Cooks, that was a total

131
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: team effort, by the way, sometimes guys say that and

132
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: it's not really a total team effort. That was a

133
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: total team effort. Pierce all the credit in the world

134
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: for being able to do that, his ability because when

135
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: he got through that hole and got to the sideline,

136
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: I thought, well, now someone's going to run him down

137
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: because that took a lot to get there, and he

138
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: went full throttle and it was awesome. And to Pierce's

139
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: credit and the after in the post game, he was

140
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: the first thing he said was he pointed out the

141
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: guys that blocked for him, So he was happy got

142
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: the score and loved it, but he said it couldn't

143
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: have happen without them, and it was. It was proper protocol.

144
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: It was great. Yeah, everybody, even Cooks shielding down the

145
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: sideline the whole way, didn't need it to cleet, he

146
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: just shielded, kept the guy tackling him. I love how

147
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: everybody just comes together for I think. I think Damian

148
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: and you know, Cooks was on the Monday Show with

149
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: You and Johnny, and I just loved what he said

150
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: about how when he sees a guy like Damian Pearce

151
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: in the hallway, he just smiles because he's just so happy.

152
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: He's full of joy all the time. And I feel

153
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: like that's how everybody plays for him on the field

154
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: as well, Like you just see everybody putting forth that

155
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: effort and it's interesting to see how someone's charisma and

156
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: personality can play into everyone else playing at a higher level.

157
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: And even after that play, I think it was right

158
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: after that play felt like something had shifted on the field.

159
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about big plays in Texans history.

160
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: I felt like the offense, a defense, of course, everybody

161
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: it started coming together. And cook said it in the

162
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: press conference after the game. I asked him if something

163
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: felt different after that, and he said absolutely. That absolutely

164
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: changed the momentum for the team. It changed my feeling

165
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: like we all felt it after that play. The whole building.

166
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: It was a quad shot of espresso. That run all

167
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Wait a minute, you know, I was thinking, well,

168
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: you're still down four team, but I just feel like

169
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: everybody woke up. That just pretty jolts through everybody. Yeah,

170
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: because you might not be down fourteen if a player

171
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: two like that happens again and he gives you that

172
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: that promise, that hope. That's more of the reason why

173
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: people get so frustrated that he's not out there more.

174
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: And I think I think you're gonna see him out there.

175
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: I love Pierce saying that in practice it wasn't clicking.

176
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: It really wasn't going well in practice that play, and

177
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, geez oh interesting, how did they feel calling

178
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: that thing? But I think they felt like, all right,

179
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna get seventy eight yards out of this thing

180
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: at least, right, which is nice, okay, And his average

181
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: was outstanding on Sunday, But if you take out that run,

182
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: he's still average over four yards per carry, even taking

183
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: out the seventy five yard run. Over four yards per

184
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: carry we didn't get last year here, You did not

185
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: get that last year and I was looking at the

186
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: rushing stats. We all thought, if the Texans can get

187
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: up to twenty one twenty two in the league, that's

188
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: gonna be enough. I was looking at some of the

189
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: numbers for this team. They're not dead lasting things like

190
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: you would think. They're not exactly setting the world on

191
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: fire either, get it, but they're They're creeping up into

192
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: the upper twenties and some key categories, but not winning

193
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: these games. Because of what we said, you're not closing

194
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: the deal eight and a half minutes to go. You're

195
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: either within three or you have the lead, but they're

196
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: not closing. And what is important in sales, closing coffee

197
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: is for closers, or as Alec Baldwin said in Glen

198
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: Garry Glen Ross, ABC, always be closing. They're not doing

199
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: it yet, all right. I saw this stat on Twitter

200
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: that Damian Pierce has more rushing yards he has three

201
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen so far this season than and I'm

202
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: assuming it's through this point in their careers, Derrick Henry,

203
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey, DeAndre Swift, Ezekiel Elliott, Leonard Fournette,

204
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: James Robinson, Joe Mix. I think it's in. Is this

205
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: on the year, this might be on the year, on

206
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: the years on the scene, So this year, yeah, yeah,

207
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: so far, Henry just had his first hundred yard game.

208
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: He's off to a bit of a slow start for him. Okay,

209
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: I read that as through this point in the season,

210
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: those guys as rookies, He's got more. But that makes sense.

211
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: I've seen stuff like that too well. NFL rookie watched that,

212
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: tweeted it, so I would think they were comparing rookies

213
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: rookies not They should be more specific specific in their tweets. Yes,

214
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: I think they should be, but I'm looking at it

215
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: right here. Let's see. Yeah, who'd your name again? Derrick

216
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: Henry m Cook got more than Henry Morson, McCaffrey yep,

217
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift, Yeah, Ezekiel Elliott, Leonard Fournette, ye, James Robinsons.

218
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: Hard to believe Fournette. I feel like Fournette has run

219
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: for a thousand yards already. Is all they have because

220
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: Brady is getting old and getting something else we should

221
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: true texted me this news about Brady getting a divorce.

222
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: I don't know why he thought I would be entertained

223
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: by it, but I I guess I'm the Kelly Kapoor

224
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: of the office. I'm surprised you didn't text it to

225
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: all of first. I was disappointed you saw. Yeah, well,

226
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 1: I love me some and I know we're all over

227
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: the place here, but you know, it's a seven o'clock

228
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: hour on a Tuesday, so what's that happens? Yeah, uh, yeah,

229
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: this story. I noticed PFT Pro Football Talk. You know

230
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: they tweet out all their stories, right, they tweeted this out,

231
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: which I'm sure some people feel like that's not you know,

232
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: he does everything anyway, and he loves that when people

233
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: complain because it's high engagement for his tweets. This tweet

234
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: had thousands of reactions to it. Whereas you know, whatever

235
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: so and so might not be going to London or

236
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: whatever the other tweets are, you know, you'd have twenty thirty,

237
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: forty fifty. This thing gets into the thousands because this

238
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: is intriguing to people. This kind of information really is,

239
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: no matter if you're a sports fan, celebrity fan, whoever

240
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: you are. But I think it is also related to

241
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: football because of the way Tom Brady retired and the

242
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: way that he came back and miss time in camp

243
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: A lot of people speculated that the reason why he

244
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: miss time in camp was because he was working on

245
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: his issues with Giselle. So I think it is pop

246
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: culture news, but it does tie into football kind of

247
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: relevant to this year because a lot of people are

248
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: saying this might be his last year. But I don't know.

249
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: If he gets divorced, is it not his last year?

250
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: Is he's like, Okay, well now I don't need to go,

251
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, make things right because things have already gone

252
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: the wrong direction. I wonder if he regrets coming back

253
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: for a final season. But there's the whole I'm gonna

254
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: be forty six years old thing too, and things aren't

255
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: looking that great on the field right now. He can

256
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: still throw the ball, but they have to play very complete.

257
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: They have to have everything going much better around him

258
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: than usual, perhaps for any kind of Brady team, because

259
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: he can help them overcome their mistakes. As he gets older,

260
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: he needs them to be more perfect. So we'll see

261
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: how it goes for the Bucks here. So we started

262
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: with tight ends and then we ended with Brady. OJ

263
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: Howard was playing with Brady, so we all tie that

264
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: was exactly how reads to go. We drew it up

265
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: on the board. Hang on, one more thing about the

266
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: Brady sure, okay, because this is relevance of football very much.

267
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: So what did they always say they meaning the outside media,

268
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: whatever about Brady taking less money in New England over

269
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: the years. Well, his wife makes so much more money

270
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: that it doesn't matter. Well, how does this get impacted

271
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: here by what they're going through legally? That's just more

272
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: of an open ended thing. I'm not saying we're going

273
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: to discuss it right here, but I'm curious to see

274
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: how this works out. Is there a prenup? I would

275
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: be shocked if there isn't. They were both pretty establishing exactly.

276
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: She was extremely established. Up next on Texans Radio, we'll

277
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: bring in the Texans Hammers, the legal counsel from the

278
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: Houston Greg Condridson Sneil Jamal to break down what's next.

279
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask Sail about this. Believe me, you want ratings.

280
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: We talk divorce all night. Okay, Well, we are not

281
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: going to talk divorce In this next Hot Read Texans,

282
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: They're gonna face Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. There's no easy

283
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: transition to get back to hot reads now, I really try.

284
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: But Lawrence is married. Right. He didn't urban Meyer once

285
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: say something about his bachelor party or something, and and

286
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: he was engaged for sure. Maybe he got married in

287
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: the meantime. But he did throw two touchdowns in one

288
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: interception and also fumbled four times in Sunday's twenty one

289
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: to twenty nine loss at Philly, which was just the

290
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: grossest looking rain storm I've ever seen in my life.

291
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: I can't believe I didn't have any lightning and it

292
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: didn't get called off, like you have to have that

293
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: much rain and old lightning is really something else. But

294
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: John Grenard talked about today what a challenge that Trevor

295
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: Lawrence is going to be when this team faces him

296
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I think Overage just looks more confident. I

297
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: think he has all the things you want. I mean,

298
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: he's six five six six quotecks tall in the pocket,

299
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: good old line m and obviously good receivers in athletes

300
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: around him, and I think the scheme fits him. So

301
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: I think Overage just looks more confident. And that's that's

302
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: the thing. We just got to make him feel less

303
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: confident obviously when when we're making our attack to try

304
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: to get done. Yeah, And I think that Trevor Lawrence

305
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: year two looks a lot better. The four fumbles aside,

306
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson says it's a blip. I read some Doug

307
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: Peterson cuts on the Lovey Smith Show yesterday, and he

308
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: just sounds so confident that they're going to be able

309
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: to play well this year. Throughout the year, we'll see.

310
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's been there before, and that return

311
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: trip to Philadelphia had to be tough for him in

312
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: so many ways. It isn't that long ago. He brought

313
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: them to a super Bowl, and I know there has

314
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: to be a lot of love for him. But the

315
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: Eagles are off to a tremendous start right now, so

316
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: there's that. But he probably wanted to get this one

317
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: behind him and get back into the AFC South. He

318
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: said confident. I also, and that's a perfect word for it.

319
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to add in competent after what they saw

320
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: last year with urban Meyer. We were bringing up urban

321
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: Meyer a moment ago. Like this guy's he knows what

322
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: the heck is going on, he knows how to organize things.

323
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: He's I think he's perfect right now for Trevor Lawrence.

324
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: And it's no surprise you're the number one picking the

325
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: draft for a reason. He's playing more and more like it.

326
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: I don't know who could have really succeeded with everything

327
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: going on last year in Jacksonville. And he's kind of

328
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: it's coming to the four now, and you know they're

329
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: they're looking good. This is not a gimmey game like

330
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: it's been for most of the last decade for the Texas.

331
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: It's not at all. This is a chance for them

332
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: to get revenge on all those losses they've suffered over

333
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: the years to the Texans, and you better be ready

334
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: for it. I know what happened last year, but this

335
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: is a better Jaguar team the year by far. And

336
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: it's not just it's in year two. You gotta look

337
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: at the personnel that they put together. And Nick as

338
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: Serio will join us tomorrow night on Texans All Access.

339
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: Nobody breaks down the opponent like Nick. Nick just details

340
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: every player, what they're doing, where they're from, name, rank,

341
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: serial number, DNA code, and he'll get you ready for

342
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, Doug Peterson, he actually got a standing

343
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: ovation from the Philly fans, as he's surely saying, I mean,

344
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: there's a statue the Philly Special isn't there a statue

345
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: of him in Philadelphia, of Doug Peterson, I think, yeah,

346
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: which he's way too Why did people do this? Why

347
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: did they put up statues of people way too soon?

348
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: It's too soon for a statue. I'm sorry. It should

349
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: celebrate a Super Bowl. Mark statue should go up years later.

350
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, I'm gonna check it out now, I'm gonna

351
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fact check this one. Well, no, but I've

352
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: been you know, there's so many statues of people. Uh,

353
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: there's an RG three statue at Baylor, right, and he

354
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: deserves one. But I think even he would say, you know,

355
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: do it a little later. No, no, no no, on the heisman.

356
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: I know, I know he deserves one. Drew. I'm saying

357
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: and I felt this way when the Longhorns retired cult

358
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: McCoy's number or whatever they did. They retired as Jersey. Wait,

359
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 1: they appreciate it more when they're older and they can

360
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: go back, and I think the fans it's nicer for

361
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: them too. You don't have to honor somebody instantly. It's

362
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: like just out of water, we're instantly honoring you. Give

363
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: it a minute when it means more, Let it breathe

364
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. That's why you wait for Hall of

365
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: Fame induction, same kind of thing. That's just my takeup.

366
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: There is a statue of Doug Peterson. You make me

367
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: second guess myself here. It's right in front of the stadium,

368
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: and it's with Nick Fools. That's weird. He's got his

369
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: head set on more of a statue commemorating the play

370
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: in the moment special statues. Yeah, but the great moments

371
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia sports. His rice. But if I had a

372
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: statue out front here and it was just oh, that's

373
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: the time that he said rock and roll for the

374
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson Kate Jacksonville in twenty twelve or something, I'd

375
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: be like, well, that's still pretty cool. I would say

376
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: why did you do that? Because I could list a

377
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: long list of names that would deserve that before me.

378
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: I think when everybody when you win a Super Bowl,

379
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: people just have that memory and they it's nice to

380
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: solidify it no matter who was this is a team.

381
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: Look they went there too. When you're having a losing season,

382
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: like but remember that we also did that. Oh yeah,

383
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. It lasts. We don't have either of those

384
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: two guys, but we had that. Well, think about the

385
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 1: franchises that have won Super Bowls and how long the

386
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: coach can last and how many you know, how much

387
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: leeway he gets, how much grace he gets. Not that

388
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: they've been losing, but when you look at the Ravens

389
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: and John Harbaugh, they've won one playoff game since twenty fourteen,

390
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: they won the Super Bowl in twenty twelve. You get

391
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: a lot of st after nine exactly, and he had

392
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: three losing seasons in a row mixed in there. A

393
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: lot of guys would have been whacked. But having had

394
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: that championship, Look, you brought us there, we have faith

395
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: you can bring us back. And he did bring them

396
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: back at least to the NFC Championship game and could

397
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: would have should have at least to one Super Bowl

398
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: with that Rams debacle when they didn't get the flag

399
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: they deserved. But it gives you a lot of grace,

400
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe Peterson should have gotten more in Philadelphia,

401
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 1: maybe he should still be there. In fact, the way

402
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: it's going in Jacksonville so far, I wish it was

403
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: still in Piladelphia, and I was Jervin Meyer was still

404
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. Well, this is a big week for some

405
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: players on the Texans squad because it's week five and

406
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: players can come off I R possibly and it's something

407
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: that we'll be watching for this week. Once a player

408
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: of practices, teams have a twenty one day window to

409
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: decide whether or not they want to put them on

410
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: the active roster or they revert back to IR. So

411
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: we'll see tomorrow when the practice report comes out. Because

412
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: players in the building today tomorrow, we'll get to watch

413
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: a little bit of practice. So the three guys to

414
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: look for wrote a story about this, or part of

415
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: it was in my story yesterday about three things from

416
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: Lovey's press conference. Mario Addison, Christian Harris, Tabier Thomas are

417
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: among the three that I think everyone sort of looks

418
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: so defense ven Mario Addison, it sounds like he's probably

419
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: gonna play. He had led the Bills in sacks last year.

420
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: Talked with Jock Caesare a couple of weeks ago. He's

421
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: the defensive line coach. Yeah, Mario Addison's defensive end. Like

422
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: we mentioned, uh, he said that guy is speed off

423
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: the edge and he said it with a big smile.

424
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: And then Grenard talked about it today saying how much

425
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: he's picked up from him just being around him and

426
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: what he could bring to the defense definitely wouldn't be

427
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: a nice little shot in the arm for the front

428
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: seven there. And then we'll see about Christian Harris the linebacker,

429
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: the rookie out of Alabama. We'll see about Tavi or

430
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: Thomas the corner or defensive back. I suppose supposed the

431
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: should say those guys also welcome additions if and when

432
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: they do come back. It's going to be some roster

433
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: maneuvering if that happens. So we'll see who is down, up, etc.

434
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: In the week to come. Yeah, because I think with

435
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: the tight end situation as well, that you're two tight

436
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: ends that played in Sunday's game, Mason Shrek and Jordan Nakins.

437
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: They reverted back to the practice squad, so I'd imagine

438
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: you'd want to move one of them up, and then

439
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: you got to make space for one or two or

440
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: possibly three other guys to move up to the active roster.

441
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: And I know Mark you mentioned Tigan Quatriano. I'm not

442
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: sure what his injury is. I remember him just wearing

443
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: a lot putting a lot of ice on his leg.

444
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: He's still alive. I can still around fifth round pick

445
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: for the Texans. I mean, maybe this year is a

446
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: red shirt year for him. I'm not sure, but I

447
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 1: feel like these defensive guys, they could really use one

448
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: of them, especially this week facing Jacksonville. Katriano's got the size.

449
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: He can catch the ball. We saw of the preseason,

450
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: so he can block catch the ball. But the problem

451
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: is he's a rookie, so the first time he gets

452
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: in there is the first time he gets in there.

453
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: He has not had the experience of some of the

454
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: other players, like you bring Aikids back. He's played in

455
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: the NFL games, He's made plays, he knows the lay

456
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: of the land. Got to find a way to get

457
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: through it at that position group. And we didn't even

458
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: mention Brevin Jordan. I mean, he's on the active roster,

459
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: but he's been banged up for the past few weeks.

460
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: That would be nice to get him back, Yes, because

461
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: he can catch. He gives you another receiving option and

462
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: can complicate things for the defense. So I was looking

463
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: up the Jaguar stats their offense to get you to

464
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: the point of getting one of these defensive players back

465
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: on the roster. They averaged three six yards per game

466
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten yards of that is rushing, and

467
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: they they've been scoring an average of twenty six point

468
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: three points per game, that's tied for six in the NFL.

469
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: But last week, every other drive of Theirs it seemed

470
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: like ended in a takeaway. So even if you put

471
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: in that Philly game, that's what their offensive stats look

472
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: like right now, which is a bit alarming. Well, we

473
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: talked about how Damian Pierce is ahead of James Robinson

474
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: in the league rushing stats, but it's not by a ton.

475
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: Robinson has two fifty nine through four games, and they

476
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: have Travis Etn there is getting the ball a lot,

477
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: and he's their third down back. So even though he's

478
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: getting his first NFL action after missing last year with

479
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: the injury, he's playing for them on third down, getting carries,

480
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: getting catches. He's got a lot of speed, he's dangerous.

481
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: So they got a one two punch there running back

482
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: that you have to be concerned with. And we all

483
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: know James Robinson's very capable. Yeah, well absolutely, all right, Well,

484
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: we're going to talk more about the run game and

485
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: special teams. Let's take a break. We'll be back with

486
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: more on Texans All Access Welcome back to Texans All Access.

487
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: This week five, it's Jaguar's Week. The Texans head to

488
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: Jacksonville for their second AFC South matchup of the year.

489
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: We all know how that first one ended, and you know,

490
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: hopefully it's never ended. It kind of never. It kind

491
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: of never imagine going oo and two in the South. Yeah,

492
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: it's not going to happen. It does feel like oh

493
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: and four, but it is nice that it's in three

494
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: and a tie. Like now I can look back and say, Okay,

495
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: that could have been a loss as well. It would

496
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: have been better if it was a win. But right now,

497
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: the Jags, they're tied for first in the AFC South.

498
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: They've got a two and two record along with the Titans,

499
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: and they're both one and oh in the division. So

500
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: you know, the Titans are probably gonna be sharing for

501
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: the Texans to win this one. I would think, probably right,

502
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: You're probably right about that. And Frank Frangie, the voice

503
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,719
Speaker 1: of the Jags, so I mentioned in the previous segment

504
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: he still thinks the Titans are probably a lot better

505
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: than the Jags, or he said better. I don't know

506
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: about a lot better. The Titans have won two games

507
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: in a row without giving up any points or without

508
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: scoring any points in the second half. Can you imagine?

509
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: How is that possible? They're playing really tight Texans. Dan

510
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: Near made it possible the first or the middle two

511
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: weeks of the season, you know, like, yeah, yeah, they almost. Yeah,

512
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: we thought a scoreless fourth quarter was just something that

513
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: we couldn't overcome. But a scoreless half, yeah, that's tremendous.

514
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: But you gotta get out to a sizeable lead for

515
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: that to happen. I guess the biggest thing with the

516
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 1: Texans is is their fourth quarter problem behind them? You know,

517
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: can they get through it? Score points? Execute? And the

518
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: other thing is can you execute in the crunch right

519
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: the moment of truth? Last game, you get the turnover

520
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: on the kickoff return, can't get the ball in the

521
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: end zone and take the lead. I don't know if

522
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: it plays out of the differently, maybe the Charger's score anyway,

523
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: maybe they win. But I would love to see what

524
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: would have happened. You really needed that, You really needed

525
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: that inside the twenty in your hand at a first down,

526
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: I mean, goodness, gracious, especially with the supposed momentum that

527
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: you thought you had at that point. I mean the bananas.

528
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: You can almost not put it out a but really

529
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 1: considerably in your favor because you were doing really good

530
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: things on special teams too to make that happen. And

531
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: then you follow it up after the field goal, you

532
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: pop him hard again and stop him well shy the

533
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: twenty yard line at that point. So your coverage units,

534
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: like they've been all season long, we're excellent. You may

535
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: you had a long field for them to go, and

536
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: they went, yeah, and they went. But if you stop

537
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: him on that fourth and two, boy, think about how

538
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: things are differently, then it would be nice, but also

539
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: would be nice to not get behind twenty one. Nothing

540
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: started the second quarter because it was looking really ugly

541
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: at one point. Reasons for proptimism. I love that mark

542
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: scoring in the fourth quarter because I think we all

543
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: made note of that when they were scoring in the

544
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Also, first touchdown to a wide receiver this year.

545
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: Drew and I were talking about it on the pregame show.

546
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks had in the caught a touchdown this year.

547
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: Neither had Nico Collins or any of the receivers. Nico

548
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: Collins gets involved more in the downfield passing game. It

549
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: seemed like that was something that they had struggled with

550
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: throughout these early games. I wonder if that's also behind

551
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: them after seeing that they were able to do it.

552
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: Maybe Damian Pierce's running open things up for them downfield,

553
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: or maybe the chemistry just is there now. Whichever way

554
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: it goes, I hope they can keep that going here

555
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: in week five, Well, Nico Collins was definitely a he's

556
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: my idea for optimism or reason for optimism. Eighty two

557
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: receiving yards has the big one there where he was

558
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: inst I mean, he's looking good and he's got that

559
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: nice connection with Davis Mills. You want to see more

560
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: of it? I think not, I think, but I know.

561
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: And if you can get him in tandem with Cook's boy,

562
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: with what Pierce is going going through and doing this

563
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: could really open things up, as you talk about, for

564
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: this offense and make it so much better. But Collins,

565
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: he's shown a lot of promise for him, he shown

566
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons for optimism. What are they app

567
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: three catches last week? Right? Tremendous average. Yeah, the average

568
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: was great because he caught the fifty eight yard or so.

569
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: More opportunities for him would be terrific and it's we

570
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 1: talk about this from time to time. How you look

571
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: at certain receivers around the league and say, well that

572
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: receive or needs to step up and do more. Well,

573
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: somebody's got to get him the ball right. You have

574
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: to be able to make that connection. And you know

575
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: there were opportunities, and Davis knows that in certain instances

576
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: he hasn't put the ball on the mark where it

577
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: needs to be. And there's a lot that goes into that.

578
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: Maybe pressure in his face, whatever the case, Maybe he's

579
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: got to be able to make that connection with Nico

580
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks Moore. That was great to see Brandon have

581
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: a seven catch game. Plus the TV gotta have more

582
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: of that. Here's another reason for optimism. Last year, Mills

583
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: played well here at Jacksonville. Can you do it again?

584
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: Do you feel comfortable in that building? I know they're

585
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: gonna be going crazy. It's gonna be a different scene.

586
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: That was the first game last year though without urban Meyer.

587
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: So there was a little I call it a dead

588
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: cat bounce. That's a financial term when you get that

589
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: faked spike at a stock when you think it might

590
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: be going back up, but it's really not. I know,

591
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of graphic, horrible imagery. But with the Jaguars,

592
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: I thought they'd get a little bounce with no urban Meyer.

593
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: They really didn't. The accents took him out that day,

594
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: and maybe those surroundings Mills being back there, it's gonna

595
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: make him feel more comfortable. Well, you know, you finally

596
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: get Tyler Johnson on the field, which is something that

597
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: the media has asked Lovey Smith about every single week.

598
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: He wasn't targeted, but you have him and Philip Dorset.

599
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: I wonder how those two get involved more in the

600
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: offense moving forward, because I find it hard to believe

601
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: that you're not going to you're gonna have them out

602
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: there and then not target them. At least Dorset was

603
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: targeted twice. I don't think that Tyler Johnson even had

604
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: a target, and I don't even know if he was.

605
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: He wasn't targeted at all, But I would imagine that,

606
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he might be a part of the

607
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: game planner, they might be a part of the game

608
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: plan collectively moving forward. But it certainly would be nice

609
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: to get like a Brevin Jordan out there because he's

610
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: a really good receiver when he's effective and he's in

611
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: the game I don't know what's going to happen with

612
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: Tyler Johnson because I don't know if they need a

613
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: different wrinkle, whether it's schematic with Pep Hamilton, whether it's

614
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: just better execution overall with what you've got, but you

615
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: need more production. Now. Again, they're not the bottom of

616
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: the league in passing yards, believe me, Like I said earlier,

617
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: they're not. They threw for two forty six last week.

618
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: But you got to see a better output in terms

619
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: of early points. Don't fall behind, Compliment the ground game,

620
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: and ride it into the finish somehow, all right. I mean,

621
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: I feel like we got to mention the elephant in

622
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: the room for reasons for optimism, Damian Pierce getting his

623
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: best game of the year seventy five yard touchdown run.

624
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean, the week before we were talking about him

625
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: putting the ball on the ground and he got to work.

626
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: He got to work all week, talked about it, and

627
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, he went out and had the best game yet.

628
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: So hopefully he can keep that going. He returns to

629
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: Florida where he played college bat this is a homecoming. Yeah,

630
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: this is absolutely a homecoming. That might be it might

631
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: be a fun, exciting game for him, you know, I

632
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: know his He talked about his mom traveling all the

633
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: way here from um I want to say Georgia. She was,

634
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: she was in Georgia. He didn't, he didn't grow up

635
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: in Florida. But shorter trip. This a shorter trip, so

636
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: she might be able to go out and watch him

637
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: play in Florida. And you know, he kept the game

638
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: ball from last week. Sopefully he has another game ball.

639
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: I know Mark had a nice conversation with the voice

640
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: of the Jags who he's pretty plugged into the college

641
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: game there, and they have a certain appreciation for Damian

642
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: Pierce Stilt absolutely. He said he was screaming at his

643
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: TV set last year that they weren't given Damian Pierce

644
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: the ball enough. A lot of Florida Gator fans feel

645
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: that way. That's the biggest crossover fan section or fan

646
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: population with the Jaguars is the Florida Gators, because you're

647
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: not that far away from Gainesville. A lot of Georgia

648
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,479
Speaker 1: people coming in. We were talking to Jonathan Bernard about that.

649
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: I just think it's it's really cool that he's able

650
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: to go back there make them eat their hard out

651
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: that Damian Pierce is with the Houston Texans and not

652
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. That he's in the division to haunt

653
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: you for years. That's the hope anyway, all right, another

654
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: reason for optimism special teams. I know Drew wrote about

655
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: it last week. I feel like we could write a

656
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: special team story every single week. Actually, I'm going to

657
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: write about m J. Stewart after he was on our show.

658
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: It should be up sometime tonight as well. But special teams,

659
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: they rank pretty high in punt returns and kickoff returns

660
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: they rank seventh and punt returns for tenth and kickoff

661
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: returns or averaging twenty three yards on the kickoff returns.

662
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: But just a phenomenal job under Frank Ross on a

663
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: part of the team that was struggled for many, many years,

664
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: as we talked about with MJ. And the fact that

665
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: he was able to do what he was able to

666
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: do in the last two weeks, first down on the

667
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: fake punt on fourth and one and then to knock

668
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 1: the ball out of DeAndre Carter's hands for two really

669
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: big special teams plays in back to back weeks. I

670
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: feel like Frank Ross has got that unit going. It's

671
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: only a matter of time before they actually score a

672
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: touchdown of their own. Oh yeah, I think it's they'll

673
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: find the end zone, they'll get more takeaway something. They

674
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 1: are a fired up bunch. I love the way he

675
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: has them with their own branded identity. Look, the Brad

676
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: Seely factor was pretty strong here. He definitely lifted up

677
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: the play of the special teams, There's no doubt about it.

678
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: But then they dipped down again and now they're back.

679
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: Frank has a lot of good players to work with

680
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: here who take pride in it, and he's gotten them

681
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: to buy in. When we had MJ. Stewart in the

682
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: Players Show an hour ago, I find it interesting. You

683
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: have a guy here who played in a playoff game

684
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: with the Cleveland Browns and picked off Ben Roethlisberger, and

685
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, he's thinking his career should be as a

686
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: starting defensive back and it's not there. But he's a

687
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: reserve defensive back who shines on special teams. And I'm

688
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: not the room obviously with Frank and those guys, but

689
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: I bet Frank has then believing, Look, this is monumentally important.

690
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: They know that, and you could impact the game. You

691
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: could affect the game with us here with this group

692
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: and I love how he coaches them. I love the

693
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: vibe of that whole. You know, all those units, because

694
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: it's more than one. It's kick coverage, punt coverage, punt team,

695
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: kick team, all of them. Yeah, you talk about affecting

696
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: the game Stewart, he did that each of the last

697
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: two weeks, like you're talking about with the fake punt

698
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: and the fumble. But he came into the Chicago game

699
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: leading the special teams units and tackles. He's added more

700
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: each time. I mean, in each of these last two weeks.

701
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: He's been phenomenal, A very quiet, under the radar, excellent

702
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: signing this offseason for the Texans, He's been outstanding. Yeah,

703
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: he really has. And he's a good guy to have

704
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: on the show too. He's great. I love what he

705
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: said about Frank, how he said we're just in sync.

706
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: I want to think, what do you say? I want

707
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: to I want to think I want to make the

708
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: same decisions as Frank Ross. What would Frank do? Yeah?

709
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: The what would Frank do? Things were strong? I think

710
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: about that myself sometimes. Actually I don't, but I should.

711
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: Probably We need we need like eight more cups of

712
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: coffee to be as energetic as Frank and we're pretty

713
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: energetic people. All right, let's take a break. We got

714
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: one final segment of Texans All Access. We're gonna go

715
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: around the NFL. Some big news talk. No it's in

716
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: the AFC South, no divorces about but big now that

717
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: we know about, it's all coming up. Texans All Access

718
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: don't quite anywhere. One final segment of Texans All Access.

719
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: We go around the NFL. The Colts have a short week,

720
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: which is not a big deal you guys normally, because

721
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna be in Denver for Thursday night football. Except

722
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor has an ankle injury that could keep him

723
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: out of the game. So Frank Reich spoke to the media.

724
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: He said the team hasn't decided whether or not he

725
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: can play, but the team's hopeful he'll be a bit

726
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: be available. But you guys know how short weeks go.

727
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, ankle injury. No, there's no way I rule

728
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: him out. Doctor VanderMeer says Taylor should take the rest

729
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: of the year off. Yeah, so should Derek Henry, those

730
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: guys and James Robinson two just take the rest of

731
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: the year off. So that means Philip Lindsay Huh, is

732
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: that where you're going with us? No, Nimini. Yeah, but

733
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: isn't Philip Lindsay a possibility for the culture. He might

734
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: be practice squads still on that team. I thought he

735
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: got waived or something. Hang out. I always think of

736
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: behind him. Oh he is with the Colts. You're right

737
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: going back to Ross. Oh no, the Broncos were saying

738
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: how they'd love to have him on the team. Yeah, Lindsay.

739
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay was trending on Sunday night on Twitter because

740
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: I guess the fumbles and the Broncos game, and Philip Lindsay,

741
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: strangely enough, has never fumbled in his career, So yeah,

742
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: they were. They were pining for Philip Lindsay sometimes. I

743
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: just also an injury at running back, so I think

744
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: that probably had something to do with it as well.

745
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: So do you know Taylor's never missed a game due

746
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: to injury at any level of football? Wow? I read that.

747
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: I was like, that is that's impressive? But he's got time,

748
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: doctor Vander ersays. And then this headline made me laugh

749
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: on Pro Football Talk. The headline simply reads, Jerry Jones

750
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: Colin Dak Prescott can't grip the ball well enough to play. Yeah,

751
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: I mean a few weeks and we were talking about

752
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: how Jerry Jones said, Dak Prescott will be back in

753
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: the game in no time and he can play with

754
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: He's not gonna have to even go in IR. He

755
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: went on IR actually that week. But now they're doing

756
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 1: pretty well with Cooper Rush, So yeah, no Rush. Cooper

757
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: Rush is the Willie Beamon in this situation. To harken

758
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: back to any given Sunday when Denis Quaid is ready

759
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: to come back and they're like, ah, take your time,

760
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: take your time, because Cooper Rush is winning for them.

761
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: But as soon as he loses one game, it's gonna

762
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: be let's go back to Deak, let's go. But as

763
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: much as long as the hot streak remains in place,

764
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna want some Cooper Rush. You know, the guy's

765
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: got some juice. It's not like he's awesome, but they

766
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: just win with him. He's got the X factor. But

767
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: maybe the other guys just sort of step it up

768
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 1: for him too, knowing he's the backup quarterback. We've seen

769
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: it over the years. You get a backup come in

770
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: the game, everyone just plays a little bit harder because

771
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, you have to you just where is that

772
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: in regular situation? I mean it should be there. But

773
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: this fascinates me about sports when people sort of invent

774
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: this script to get upset about, like, oh, someone so

775
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: disrespected me. No, I didn't, but you're making it up

776
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: in a way. Some of the great ones Jordan used

777
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: to do that. They kind of make up a scenario

778
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: to get them all riled up because it gets the

779
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: adrenaline flowing, and that does give you extra juice and

780
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: extra energy. You just brought up Steve and Willie Beaman

781
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,479
Speaker 1: in the movie Any Given Sunday. He had gone to

782
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: the University of Houston. So does he really? I forgot

783
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: about that? That makes him He's got to be the

784
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: second greatest U of age quarterback of all time. Andre,

785
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: then Steve he's got to be behind it because Steve

786
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: and Willie Beamon went onto the big contract right after

787
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: that and presumably a phenomenal career. Skeenham played a lot

788
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: as still in the league. Yes, not really playing but participating. No,

789
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: and I'm not this is no slight towards case, but

790
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: I think if it goes out the way Andre, Willie

791
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: Beaman and Keenham, I think and then Kevin Cobb. Kevin Cobb. Yeah, yeah,

792
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: we'll stop. There were ranking actual quarterbacks with fictional quarterbacks.

793
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: You know, David Cleingler was in a rotation a senior

794
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: year at Stratford before he came to the University of Houston.

795
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: They went all the way to the state finals. Andre

796
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 1: ran the option at Dickinson, Okay, comes in and is

797
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: the greatest passing quarterback of his time. So you just

798
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: never know how it's gonna play out. Uh, They'll both

799
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: credit John Jenkins for that wild and crazy offense that

800
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: they got so much yardage with and beat some good teams. Man,

801
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people forget that. Uh. Then when Andre played,

802
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean they were playing the Longhorns, Arkansas Aggie's, they

803
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: were playing the big schools and they did well. They

804
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: were in the Southwest Conference. It was huge. That conference

805
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: broke up. Boy, I'd love to see that conference get

806
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: back together. Right, Well, that's gonna happen. I was gonna say,

807
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 1: let's keep it on quarterbacks. The Steelers named Kenny Pickett.

808
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: They're starting quarterback. Not a big surprise, but you know

809
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 1: it was going to happen eventually. Hello, Buffalo Pickan era

810
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: has begun in Pittsburgh and yeah, first first up Buffalo.

811
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: Bill's awesome. That's just a fantastic way to almost a

812
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: year to the day after David S. Mills got his

813
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: one of his first starts, and it was in our

814
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: first road starts, which was in Buffalo. Yeah, thanks, thanks

815
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: for reminding me about that. In the rains took. Yeah,

816
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: but he was a rookie. But yeah, it was. It

817
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: was not It was not a great It was not

818
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: a great place to throw your But I don't know

819
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: if there is there a good is there is there

820
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: a week where you'd be like, oh, this might be

821
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: an easier team to beat. I just feel like it's

822
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: always going to be hard. The NFL is always hard. Yeah,

823
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: you know, Oh you're going to Chicago. That should be good.

824
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: Luck with that. Tell that to the forty nine ers

825
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: who lost an opening day in the rain, right, and

826
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: they lived pretty good last night. By the way, I

827
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 1: was watching that game because I was rooting against the Rams.

828
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: I kind of like McVeigh a little bit, but I

829
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: don't like the Rams. It's hard to explain. It's just

830
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: one of those things. But I have very interesting rooting

831
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: interest and it's not just who I'm rooting for, it's

832
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: usually who i'm against. So you have against McVay or

833
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: were you rooting for Damiko Ryan? I was actually yes,

834
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: very and he was getting some head coaching. Yeah, I

835
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: think he could have had a gig. And they were

836
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: talking about that last night. I didn't, you know, I

837
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: wasn't paying full one hundred percent attention to the announcers

838
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: because who would do with that? But they were talking

839
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: about how he felt like he needed one more year

840
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: to really grip that defensive coordinator role. Because at least

841
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: surprising news of all time, that guy's definitely going to

842
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: be a head coach. He's smart, he's gonna be good.

843
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: You know, we've always liked him. I think he'll be

844
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: a good head coach. He'll get a job this offseason.

845
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: They'll be good on defense all year long. They were

846
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: stymying the Rams last night and a pick six, they

847
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: could have had two pick six this last night. There

848
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: was one drop late. How about Jimmy g Like his

849
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: entire offseason was completely up in the air. Is he

850
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: gonna get traded? Where's he going to go? There were

851
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: rumors that he might even come here, and then now

852
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: he's are starting quarterback. It's almost like they knew that

853
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: was going to happen and they kept him on the

854
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: roster and it all worked out perfectly. You know what

855
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: her name is, tree Lands. They have they got a

856
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: short passing game that he executes very well. And since

857
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 1: they run the ball well, you know they're going to

858
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: have some opportunities that way. But he hits guys in stride.

859
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: He's got that short game accuracy that's so crucial in

860
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 1: their offense. He doesn't always hit the deep ball. He

861
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: makes mistakes. He'll make a throw that'll make you say what.

862
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: But he's good. I mean, he's gotten far. When he's healthy,

863
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: they do well period. Well that's a big that's a

864
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: big if when he's healthy. That's I think that things

865
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: really bewildered others. There's an old saw that's way before

866
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: my time, So that means it's really old bewitched, bewildered

867
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: in something where I was going with it, I know,

868
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 1: but I was trying to him him a healthy season

869
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: has evated. He's not been able to have a healthy

870
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: season so far. So he witched, bothered and bewildered by

871
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: Ella Fitzgerald. Boom, Okay, I did not even know that

872
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: I have kids. Elephantzgerald is a great singer. Next topic.

873
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: Next topic, Texans matchup with John Harris. I almost called

874
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: it Texans replay, but I did it. It's Texans matchup.

875
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: He looks ahead to this Jaguars game, looks back a

876
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: little bit as well, and that's all coming up with

877
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: Johnny here, So you don't want to miss it. But

878
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for Texans All Access guys. Thanks

879
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 1: so much. It's a lot of fun. Hopefully next week

880
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 1: we come back and we talk about a win. I

881
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: like that idea. It's my plan, all right. Thanks so

882
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: much for listening. Everybody, Go Texans.
