1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody. Welcome into a Monday edition of

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Texans All Access from the Monday Texans Radio Studio. I'm

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: John Harris, football analyst, Southern reporter, is so glad to

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: be with you this evening, our last all Access show

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty one season. Yes, I know it's

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two in the seventeen game schedule, eighteen weeks

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: season throws me off. We always play the playoffs in

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: one final week in the following year, but it's always

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: the season twenty twenty one, and we finished it yesterday

10
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: and fourtunately twenty eight twenty five loss to the Tennessee Titans.

11
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: Man would have come back to get back in that game.

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: That that close to a Jacob Martin sack that would

13
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: have just sent the place into hysterics, But gotta give

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: it to Ryan Taniell. The man pulled out a huge

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: play at the right time. They made a throw to

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: Julio Jones in the back of the end zone for

17
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: a huge touchdow down. But that was as fun and exciting,

18
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: exhilarating a football game as there's been an energy stadium

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: this year. So we wish you could have gone out

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: with a dub, but showed out in that second half.

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: Got a bad call in the first half, but I

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: don't complain about officials for the most part. But that

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: PI call was a joke. A joke, I tell you

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: all right, what's not a joke of the guest that

25
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: we have on this show this evening, we got Spencer

26
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,640

Speaker 1: will give you my ultimate eleven plays of the season.

Speaker 1: We'll look back at Week eighteen in the NFL and

31
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: oh my god, what a week it was. And then,

32
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: because it'll be the last radio we do before the

Speaker 1: long season, but a very entertaining season, especially down the stretch.

Speaker 1: all you do for our fans and just keeping everybody

45
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,679
Speaker 1: up to date. But it was it was an exciting year. Obviously.

46
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: The last few games were a lot of fun to

47
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: see this team grow and progress, and you know, the

48
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: atmosphere in the stadium the last couple of games was

49
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: really really a lot of fun see our fans enjoying it,

50
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: and you know, excited way to finish and can't wait

51
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: to get going on twenty twenty two, Greg, your first

52
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: season and your role as president of the team. How

53
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: much changed for you or is it too much even

54
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: say on radio? How much changed for you this year?

55
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: It's probably too much to say on radio, but but

56
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: you know, just having you know, I think most of

57
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: you guys know, but I've been with a franchise since

58
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: the beginning, so i had a chance to really step

59
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: into this role and it's a very different role than

60
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: the role I had before. But but what doesn't change,

61
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: it's just kind of my love for the team, my

62
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: love for the city and the organization and our fan

63
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: base and just the excitement that we can So it's

64
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: very different. A lot of changed in my role, but

65
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: really the core values of what makes this a place

66
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: that I always want to be personally hadn't changed at all. Well,

67
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: a lot has changed in the world really, and last

68
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: season with COVID barely any fans. This season you come

69
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: back in and the world is undergoing a COVID hangover.

70
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: Yet you're still able to maintain this game day atmosphere

71
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: that's second to none. Really, so many great elements, and

72
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: you added new stuff this year, no question. I mean

73
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: this year was at unique challenge just I mean when

74
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: just trying to get back to full capacity events, if

75
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: you go back to the summer, I mean we were

76
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: still unsure about how that was all going to work

77
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: and work through a lot of challenges as it relates

78
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: to even staffing the building in different ways. So we

79
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: had so many different things happening. Um and and everybody

80
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: in live events was dealing with the same thing. But

81
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: um and then you know, wanting to to welcome our

82
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: fans back to the stadium, do some new things, uh,

83
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: introducing the the DJ that We introduced Cecil Shorts, who

84
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: did an unbelievable job on the field, kind of interacting

85
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: with the fans. Some mixed reality, some different food and

86
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: beverage options, so mobile ticketing, so a lot of things

87
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: that we tried this year, and we're going to keep

88
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: trying to lean into how can we always be better

89
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: in the future. But it but it was it was

90
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: a big year. Wait, the bull can move its head now,

91
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: that's right. I forgot about that. Yeah, the bull can

92
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: move its head. Smokes coming every which way. Yeah, very lifelike.

93
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: I can stand on the field and get run over

94
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: by the waste management truck too, that's right. I've always

95
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: looked to see. In this past week, I actually got

96
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: run over by the truck. I was very Maybe better

97
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: the truck than the bull. I don't know, that's true. Greg.

98
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: Last week, I know when the email came into my inbox,

99
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: I thought, oh boy, this is going to be really

100
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 1: interest thing. I couldn't wait to talk to you about

101
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: season ticket plan tickets that came out and I saw that. Wow.

102
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: I know a lot of thought because we're in the building,

103
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: I know a lot of thought and work and effort

104
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: went into coming up with that plan. What's been the

105
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: response you've gotten from potential season ticket members and from

106
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: season ticket members themselves. Well, you're right, a lot of

107
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: thought has gone into it, and it really goes back

108
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 1: to just how can we evolve, how can we always

109
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: challenge ourselves to be better? And so we spend a

110
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: lot of time really going back to the summer looking

111
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: looking at our season ticket plan and announced it last

112
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: week as part of fan appreciation a week just because

113
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: we felt like that was the right time to just

114
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: make sure our fans know and our season ticket members

115
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: in particular, know how much we appreciate them and how

116
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: much we want to continue to invest back in that program.

117
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: So a lot of exciting things with that, but the

118
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: response has been fantastic. We've already had thousands of seats renewed,

119
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: season ticket members coming back in very positive you know,

120
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: a lot of new things that we've added into the

121
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: program that they're reacting to very positively. So so far,

122
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: so good. You know. Obviously, the whole off seasons a

123
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: process and we'll continue to work at it, but I'm

124
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: really really pleased at the response where we are today.

125
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: So it's season ticket membership redefined, right, loyalty is a

126
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: big factor here, So if you've been with the Texans

127
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: for a long time, the savings are even bigger, right, correct.

128
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's really about three things. It was new savings,

129
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: more flexibility, and better benefits are kind of the three

130
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: buckets of it. And so on the saving standpoint, yes,

131
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: the longer you've been with us, there were some kind

132
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: of a one time price reduction that you can take

133
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: advantage of depending on the time that you choose to renew,

134
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: and that goes really from a deadline of this February

135
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: all the way through May fifth, so just past the

136
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: draft that those types of things, But the better benefits

137
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: and the more flexibility are things that we're hearing a

138
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: lot about that people also appreciate. You know, talked about

139
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: flexibility relative to some payment plans as a thing that

140
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, we're in a kind of a subscription based

141
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: society netflix other things that you want, and so we

142
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: wanted to adjust the way people pay to better fit

143
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: that model. And so we've had a lot of positive

144
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: events around that and then kind of them the better

145
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: benefits a lot of that's merchandise and exclusive access to events.

146
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: We really started that with training Camp last year really

147
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: focusing that on our season ticket members exclusively and had

148
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: great response to that. So as we get into the

149
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: offseason with draft and other things that we can do,

150
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: we really want to allow our season ticket members to

151
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: get to know our team and be as close as anybody. Okay,

152
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: after the game was over, I saw it in print

153
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, the Texans will have a first round pick.

154
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: I saw it. It's in print. We have it now.

155
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: It could also ultimately trade it, but I hope we don't.

156
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: If we maintain those picks, does that mean we have

157
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: a draft party back? Right? That is the plan, John,

158
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: We want to we want to have that big draft party.

159
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: You know, we're maybe here at the stadium, who knows.

160
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: Maybe we look at some other options, but we want

161
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: and then it's in Las Vegas. So we're also looking

162
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: at how we can interact with our fans back, you know,

163
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: create an experience for them in a very unique setting.

164
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: So there's a lot on the table. Obviously, it's always

165
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: a unique time right now, and in a COVID environment,

166
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: everything has to be flexible, so we'll always consider that.

167
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: But our goal is to I'll say it differently, we

168
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: want our fans to be able to enjoy their connection

169
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: to the Texans and to get to know our team

170
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: and to go along this journey as we're building this team,

171
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: and so draft is obviously a huge part of that.

172
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: And I hope we can. We can do it big,

173
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: all right, we gotta do it big. Draft parties are awesome.

174
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: They're fantastic everyone, and we've been through here. They've been

175
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: absolutely fantastic. And I think you just like a crowd

176
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: when you when you're analyzing picks, right. I think it's

177
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, you need a little audience, John, You know

178
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: me extremely well, great, Chris. So that's exactly why I

179
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: want to happen. It's great to have crowds. It's been

180
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: fantastic in this COVID environment to do it safely, and

181
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: obviously that's what we're talking about here. But I just

182
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: know that you're always pushing the envelope to do something different,

183
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: give our fans something a little extra, and that has

184
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: always been something a little extra. Just come on, enjoy

185
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: the night, enjoy these draft picks that some of these

186
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: people have never heard of. They always look to my reaction,

187
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: but I always think it's a really fun night. It's

188
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's one of the most interesting nights of

189
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: the year with the fans that to basically come out

190
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: and watch TV with us. But it's it's it's really

191
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: about being together. And really that's what if you really

192
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: think about what football does, um you know, tailgating, the

193
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: game day environment, it's just people creating experiences and memories

194
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: that they couldn't otherwise do by themselves and drafts, you know,

195
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: a very unique opportunity to do that with a bunch

196
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: of people that are all kind of centered around the

197
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: Texans and center around a game of football. We mentioned

198
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: savings with the season ticket members, and there's an old

199
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: advertising slogan membership has its privileges, and I know there's

200
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,599
Speaker 1: other things involved as well. What can you share with

201
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: us about that, because as a season ticket member, it's

202
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: not just about going to the games, right. No, again,

203
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: we want it to be exclusive. We want it to

204
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: be something that others, you know, maybe can't have, but

205
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: only our season ticket members do have. And so I

206
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: mentioned the payment plans, the tickets and things of that nature,

207
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: but we're doing some exclusive merchandise that's that's only available

208
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: to season ticket members on game day. Our season ticket

209
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: members will experience for the first time in twenty twenty two,

210
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: the ability to get ten percent off of game day

211
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: concessions basically by scanning a QR code on their phone

212
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: part of the ticket the mobile ticketing process. So there's

213
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: there's over thirteen new benefits that we added into the

214
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: to the season ticket membership redefined. And folks want to

215
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: learn more than go to Houston Texans dot com backs

216
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: or forward slash renew and they can. They can learn

217
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: more about what's fully available. Greg, you talked about being

218
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: here with the Texans for a while. It tugs at

219
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: all of our heartstrings. But from a game experience standpoint,

220
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: what do you think has changed the most? Whether it's

221
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: you know, fans request that, you know, fans want to

222
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: see this. I here all the time. Why I could

223
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: just sit and watch a seventy in screen at home

224
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: and watch the game. But then you go in the

225
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: building and you're like, Yo, this is just wob this

226
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: is fantastic. Well, what's changed the most over the time

227
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: that you've been here when it comes to a game experience? Well, wow,

228
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: so since I've been here, that's a long time here.

229
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: You know, I had a lot more hair back in

230
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: the day. But um no, I think the thing that's

231
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: probably changed the most, um from the game experience in

232
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,239
Speaker 1: the way that fans and enjoy the game is really technology.

233
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about it, just from the

234
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: video board things that we're able to do there, to

235
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: the mobile ticketing, to the way that concessions are ordered,

236
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: and I mean technologies everywhere. I think our entire lives.

237
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: If you think over twenty years, technology has changed everything.

238
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: But so that I would say just globally, that's probably

239
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: what's changed the most. But what hasn't changed is the

240
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: ability that people want to be together. There's nothing like

241
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: the energy and excitement of game day, you know, giving

242
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: your buddy a high five, or you know, maybe maybe

243
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: disagreeing with a call in the field, you know boisterously,

244
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: or or having a chance to have Toro meet your

245
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: kids or whatever. Maybe those are the things that's why

246
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: people come, and we just want to continue to facilitate

247
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: that and in many different ways as we can. It's

248
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: true there's nothing like being there live. Because the market

249
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: research focus group known as the vander Kids, they were

250
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: weaned on screens and everything, but they would rather be

251
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: here than anything because there's just something about being in

252
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: the atmosphere, right, I mean, you were there, but there's

253
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: there's a you know, yesterday as we were coming back

254
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: and you know, uh, you know, kind of making a comeback.

255
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: It's just the energy and the building, the excitement, and

256
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: then then that kind of shared belief and then you

257
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: can you feel like you're participating and helping the team

258
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: go on the way. There's nothing like it, and and um,

259
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss it for the next for the off season.

260
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: So I was walking out of the building yesterday. I

261
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: was trying to appreciate, you know, that game experience and

262
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: honestly just can't wait to get back to it. It's

263
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: so funny you say that, because when Danny scored the

264
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: touchdown to make a twenty eight twenty five and you

265
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: and I'm looking from our sideline down that way, I did.

266
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: I did the same thing. I kind of just took

267
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: in the crowd and how excited they were, and Danny

268
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: jumps up in the I mean he got up there. Yeah,

269
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I don't know how he got

270
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: up there. I mean he's all like five six and

271
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: he got up there, Like wow, he's skying to get

272
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: up there. But that's what it made me think, Wow,

273
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: this this is a moment. I definitely want to just

274
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: mentally take this in. So in this season, tough as

275
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: it was, is there a moment that you think that's

276
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: it right there, Bottle that moment and that's why you

277
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: come to the stadium to watch a game. Man, that's

278
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: a tough question. Um. Um, you know, I know, I

279
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: know what our well, I know what it is. I

280
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: think mine would have been. Um in the fourth quarter

281
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: of the game against the Chargers, and and and and

282
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: just um, you know, the excitement of how well the

283
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: team played that day, and you know, from the beginning

284
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: to end, um, the belief that the players had and

285
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: they went out and executed so well, and just as

286
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: a as you know, as a fan and enjoying the game,

287
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: and and and just uh, you know, after Christmas, so

288
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: it was kind of an exciting time. And um, the

289
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: you know, the the stadium was you fork and just

290
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: so just looking around and just saying okay, you know,

291
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: and then the belief that that was creating an excitement

292
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: with our fans about where we're going was just it

293
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun that day. It was wait,

294
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: what's yours Johnny? That one okay, when Tavira Thomas takes

295
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: that takes it. When tab took it to the end zone,

296
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: I was on the other side because I was trying

297
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: to figure out because the charges were getting around in

298
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: your midfield. So I got to decide at that point

299
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: I go to the other side or do I go

300
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: and stand outside. So I had moved and so when

301
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: tav goes the other direction, sometimes I go over there

302
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: because there aren't any photos I can stand sure, and

303
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: so tav goes the other way. I'm here, Mark make

304
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: the call, and I'm like one man, just celebration. I mean,

305
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: since you were on the other end. We didn't get

306
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: that on film, so you know we didn't We didn't

307
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: get the we didn't get the Johnny Harris pictures. Oh no,

308
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: but SuDS has got one interview. I'll show it all.

309
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: It's pretty darn good when we made it twenty eighteen.

310
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: But that game, to me, Greg is won no matter

311
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: what happens in the next eight to ten years, that's

312
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: one I'll remember because of how tough the season has

313
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: been had been. And I just saw I did the

314
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: same thing. I kind of looked around the stadium and

315
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: I saw fans with the foam fingers and every just

316
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: like having this moment altogether was like really really cool.

317
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: It was actually kind of emotional to think about because

318
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: we had been through so much stuff at that point

319
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: and it was like that all just kind of came

320
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: on that way. And again, everybody, you know, our fans,

321
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: the you know, the the world has been through so

322
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: much just so to get back to where you can

323
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: enjoy something kind of in in all together in a

324
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: unique way. I mean it really you can't describe it.

325
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: That afternoon was a lot of fun. Well, Greg, congratulations

335

Speaker 1: Texans has time to catch up with our pal Andre

355
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: where we got a lot to get to with our

356
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: pal Drey so here it is the three of us

357
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: on the radio crew. I wish we'd have Robert on

Speaker 1: her here too. Robert Hansley add in the fourth. As

359
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: Drey said yesterday during the broadcast, we're pretty much like

360
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: this dysfunctional family that loves talking football and getting together

361

Speaker 1: every single Sunday and hopefully will do a great job

362
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: for you. But we love it. Here's Dre with Mark

363
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: and me. Drey slow day in the NFL, no news

364
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: at all. How are you, my friend? As we're coming

365
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: off the Texans come back, it comes up short. But

366
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: your thoughts on what you saw yesterday out of Mills,

367
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: the offense, the second half comeback, Yeah, it's an NFL type.

368
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: I guess you would say candy store for NFL fans

369
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: if you know you have you're a team that's you're

370
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: looking to get into the playoff and went all the

371
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: way down to like the last snap or the last kick,

372
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: so to speak, yesterday. But I thought Davis Mills said

373
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: it during the broadcast that I thought it was a

374
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: game in which he proved to whomever, whatever set of

375
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: eyes that we're looking at him that he deserves a

376
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: chance to start the season as the starting quarterback next

377
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: year in twenty twenty two. The past he made to

378
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: Danny Amondola up the sideline, that was the one that

379
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: sold it for me, because now he's anticipating throws. I mean,

380
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: he threw an a first touchdown past Amadola showed you

381
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: some athletic ability. The second one showed you that he's

382
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: throwing the ball with anticipation. Like before, guys are coming

383
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: open into windows against zone coverage, and then he can

384
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: throw guys open as well, taking care of the ball.

385
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: The completion percentage, all of that, I think he showed

386
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: you down the stretch to give him a chance to

387
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: be the quarterback next year. Dre Coming out of twenty

388
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: twenty one season, I mean, Davis, we saw some some

389
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: good things. This rookie class seemingly had some things. We

390
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: saw a couple of veterans play this year that you

391
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: know stood out you. Willie Collins had a better than

392
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: the stats indicate, cam who was was amazing. What in

393
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: your mind is going to stand out in twenty twenty

394
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: one that gives hope going into twenty twenty two if

395
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: it's not Davis, Because I think we all feel that

396
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: way that Davis does seemingly give us hope for twenty

397
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: twenty two. What else would you say, Hey, man, this

398
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: is gonna gives me hope for going into twenty twenty two.

399
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: I would say the defense take the ball away, um,

400
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: because they were able to do it with consistency, uh,

401
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: and moving parts to say that, And there wasn't a

402
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: set of guys or you know, a two deep worth

403
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: of guys that that did it throughout the season. There

404
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: was multiple guys along the way, and so that lets

405
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: me know that they're being coached up well. Uh, there

406
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: were multiple guys with takeaways in terms of interceptions, U fumble, recovers,

407
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: any all of that that falls into that that category.

408
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: That and special teams the return game. Uh, there, there's

409
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: definitely hope there when you when you have the kind

410
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: of production that they were able to have a couple

411
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: of holding penalties here or there, stopped or brought back

412
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: some really big returns that you know you really didn't

413
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: need to have. But I think those two things, the

414
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: defense and special teams, if I got to pick something

415
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: opposite Davis Mills, those are the two things. All right, Trey,

416
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna be the head coach of an NFL team,

417
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: and we have a number of openings for you to

418
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: consider here. So you bought one party where you'd like

419
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: to go. Okay, Miami which is open after this morning.

420
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: Brian Flores was shown the door and they've got two

421
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: as quarterback currently. Justin Fields is in Chicago where Matteggie

422
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,959
Speaker 1: was let go Kirk Cousins. I believe it's one more

423
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: year on his deal. In Minnesota where Mike Zimmer was

424
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 1: let go. Denver not so much of anything. I mean,

425
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: Bridgewater gets heard. Ru Lock is still there. So Denver

426
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: is out there and Jacksonville with Trevor Lawrence. What job

427
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: are you taking, coach Dre, I'm taking Miami. Miami set up,

428
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: they've got draft picks, they've they played well at times

429
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: when don't they go on a seven game winning streak,

430
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: so you know that's enough talent to win in that city.

431
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: And then a South beach. You know where else would

432
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: you rather coach South? So you know, no, it's in

433
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: all seriousness, it would definitely be Miami. They've got a

434
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: defense that is not far away. I think offensively they

435
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: need running back and about it, maybe a receiver to

436
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: go with a pretty talented offense. Offensive group that can

437
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: get it down. I believe in Tua. I always have.

438
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: I've never never doubted that went healthy, we would see

439
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: what we saw out of tah Now, you keep changing

440
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators and coaching staffs. All you do is set

441
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: your quarterback back, and I've seen that experienced at firsthand.

442
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: So I don't know what goes into who they hire

443
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: or who they keep, but that's the job that I

444
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: would take. I definitely wouldn't go to Chicago. I think

445
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: they're miles away. Minnesota's trending the other way. Cousins probably

446
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: won't even be there next year, and so you know,

447
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: there are a couple of jobs that are very on

448
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: a track. I don't like Jackson Goes job either. I

449
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: think there are ways away. But Miami, Miami's Miami's the

450
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: closest team. I mean that's smart because to back you up,

451
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: one other opening has a team that's coming off back

452
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: to back winning seasons, and that's what the Dolphins are

453
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: there winners so to speak, and they just need to

454
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: win one or two more a year and look what

455
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: you got. I just don't understand that. I don't understand

456
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: how what are they expecting in Miami? A Super Bowl

457
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: trip you know, in the next year. Give the guys.

458
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 1: He's had winning seasons and been and they're very close

459
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: to turn in the corner to to being a playoff team.

460
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: Why do you keep starting over? I don't I think

461
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: that's a rhetorical question. Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

462
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: I think all three of us know the answer, but

463
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: we are I think we all agree with that you

464
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: have to put him to the side. And that's ego

465
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: and relationships. Yeah, and when ego gets in the way

466
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: of relationships and things like that, we get those situations.

467
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: All right. Let me throw another one on the fire.

468
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: This has not happened. But I cannot see Dre how

469
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: the New York Giants go forward with Joe. Judge, if

470
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: I threw the Giants in the mix, would that job

471
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: intrigue you in any way, shape or form? It would

472
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: intrigue me. But I think there are ways away, And

473
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: there's a you know, coach looking for a situation if

474
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: you allowed, you know, if I'm guaranteed X amount of

475
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: years to get it going, But that obviously is in

476
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: the case, and that that one is unbelievable. And Brian

477
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: Flores is looking for a job this morning, and Judge

478
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: is still the head coach of the New York Giants.

479
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: Got one. Unbelievable. Is unbelievable. You're talking about a team

480
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: that is on the verge of the playoffs, a team

481
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: that had to winning season, and he's out, and you

482
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: got Joe Judge that's still coaching in the New York Giants.

483
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: Now they'll make him empty. They can in terms of

484
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: hiring a new coordinator on both sides of the ball

485
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: and special teams and so on, redoing the coaching staff.

486
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: But all you're doing is prolonged and the inevitable correction.

487
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: I agree, because look, they got blown out by the Bears,

488
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: who blew out their coach. They lose to Washington after Look,

489
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: Washington is not a good team and they've got Taylor

490
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: Heineke at quarterback. How can you possibly beat Taylor Heineke.

491
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean you got to remove some doubt at some point.

492
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: He hasn't done it. Yeah, no, there's no doubt. I

493
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if if Brian Flores is employed by

494
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: the end of the week. You know, when you set

495
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: on the table and this is what we've done, and

496
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: this is what we've done. Deal with draft picks that

497
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: have worked out down there and we we won. Uh,

498
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be I wouldn't be surprised if he's not

499
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: the head coach somewhere by by weeks in Okay. I

500
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: know the NFL. Drey this actually, I'll put it to

501
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: both of you. But Dre, you call college games every

502
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: single week. You get an opportunity to meet with coaches

503
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: who talk with coaches. Also, we talked with other coaches

504
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: and talk with other coaches, so you have that opportunity.

505
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: I maybe the urban Meyer experiment in Jacksonville turned people away,

506
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: but if people would quit looking at well he was

507
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: a college coach. No, urban Meyer was not a great dude.

508
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: That was why he ended up not being a great

509
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: NFL coach. But if one of these one of these

510
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: NFL teams came to you, Dre and said, look, we really,

511
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: we really think there's some guys down in the college

512
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 1: level that might make for really good NFL coaches. Is

513
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: there a college coach that maybe you hear through the

514
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: grade final There's been a lot of talking about Jim

515
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: Harbaugh and I just saw a tweet from a guy

516
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: who does college football and he put four college coaches

517
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: in NFL positions, and I'm looking at him going that

518
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: could be kind of interesting. Is there a college coach

519
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: that you think could end up being an NFL A

520
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 1: good NFL head coach going forward with the knowledge that

521
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: you have about the game, and obviously you know about

522
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: the NFL too. Yeah, there is uh And this would

523
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: be a problem. Maybe a wild card and a surprising name,

524
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: but I think his name had been tossed around last year.

525
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: It's just unfortunate the situation that he's in now, or

526
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: found himself in after his past year. But I would

527
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: say Dan Mullen because I think he has the makeup

528
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: to be an NFL head coach. Is organized, he is

529
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: tough as nails, He has no nonsense. He can teach

530
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: the game from especially with openings, and you look, you

531
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,239
Speaker 1: got all these young quarterbacks across the NFL now at

532
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: those jobs that you just name, he can coach him

533
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: up and his system fits what you want to do

534
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Now, it'll take some tinkering, but for

535
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: the most part, he's not that far away in terms

536
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: of having an NFL system within what he wants to

537
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: do on the college level. So he run the quarterback

538
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: obviously a little bit less he does that on the

539
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: collegiate level, especially down close towards the goal line. But

540
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,959
Speaker 1: I think Dan Mullin would be one hell of an

541
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: NFL coach. I think he's some of the names that

542
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: you mentioned that kept jobs this morning. He's already better

543
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: than they from a spirit standpoint. He is on the

544
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: coaches Committee, the rules committee, so he's gonna know the

545
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: rules in and out. Nobody's gonna have to be in

546
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: his ear telling him what to do in certain situations.

547
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 1: He's a very, very bright head coach. But obviously things

548
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: didn't work out at the University of Florida. That might

549
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,239
Speaker 1: turn some guys off. It shouldn't. It didn't do it

550
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: to Arizona with Cliff Kingsbury, so it shouldn't happen in

551
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: the case of Damn Mulla. But I've always been a

552
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: big fan of always respected how he ran his programs

553
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: because he was always always buttoned up. Now he's not

554
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: the easiest guy who to coach with, neither's Nick Saban,

555
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: but they he wins wherever he goes. Drey Tonight, Alabama, Georgia,

556
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: Thoughts Abama. I mean, I just you you want to

557
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: get in a box and play football, that's what you do.

558
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's who That's what they want. They want

559
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: to They want a quarterback that's in the pocket. They

560
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: can come after you. You've given Nick saban x amount

561
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: of time to scheme up against Georgia and he's beating

562
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: you already in multiple years. I think it's it's Alabama.

563
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: Stetson Bennett is not going to move around and uh

564
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: and be the electric quarterback that makes Nick Sabans stay

565
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: up late game planning and looking at extra film. Now

566
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna do that, but it doesn't scare him as

567
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: if then wear a mobile quarterback on the other side,

568
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: they could move around like a Donny Manziel type. So

569
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm going with Bama to night. They're gonna be able

570
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: to run the football and then get after you defensively

571
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: and until until I see it or you prove it

572
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: to me. Otherwise it's Alabama. Dreed last night Chargers Raiders

573
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: amazing football game, very unbelievable football game. What do you

574
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: think at the end, and there's been a lot of

575
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 1: discussion point about off their tie, they both make it

576
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: the time out by Staley, the Raiders then changing the

577
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: play doing all that kind of what did you kind

578
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: of make at the end of the game. Did you

579
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: have any sort of I don't say issue, but what

580
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: did you think about the way that I was handled

581
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: down to stretching O teeth. Anybody who believes that's okay

582
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: for them to run the clock out, both teams go

583
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. It's one of those everybody gets a

584
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: medal or trophy kind of person. I mean, that's not

585
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: just it's not real life, man, it's just not real life. So, uh,

586
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, you kicked the field goal, you win it.

587
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: I thought it was a hell of a game all

588
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: the way through, and I was starting to begin to think,

589
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: wait a minute, to fix is in you know where

590
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: Hey let's go thirty two thirty two and both of

591
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: us go get some extra cash. But um, the Raiders

592
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: showed that that there is still, you know, some life

593
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: to this game, and uh the way old school guys

594
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: think about how it should be played, and uh, it's

595
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: it was real life stuff to see Carlson. Not the

596
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: field goal through, but one hell of a game. I

597
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: thought a lot of games across the board there was

598
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: just great NFL football, not just yesterday in the final

599
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: weekend of the season, but all throughout the year, there's

600
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: upset after upset. Look at it kind of goes to

601
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: show you that on any given Sunday still holds true.

602
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: Right in Indianapolis goes down to Jacksonville, they need to win,

603
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville's, you know, playing for draft position and you're

604
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: letting yet and still Jaguars not just take care of them.

605
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: They beat them down yesterday. Yeah, and all the Colts

606
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs. So it was a great season

607
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: all the way around. And obviously with the Raiders tapping

608
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: it off against the Chargers. Yeah. And my whole thing

609
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: on that is their division rivals. They hate each other.

610
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: If we were playing the Colt to the Titans, we

611
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't want them to get in beat down every Yeah.

612
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: Everyone always says the NFL East has all the rivalries.

613
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: Not until I was with the Raiders did I realize

614
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: how much the Raiders hated the Chiefs, how much the

615
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: Raiders hated the Chargers, and how much the Raiders had

616
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: hated the Bronco. Yeah. That's about the entire division, right,

617
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: and all the other teams hate all the other teams.

618
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know about it. If if the rivalry

619
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: lie within the NFC East. It's definitely that division, the

620
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: AFC West with the Raiders, Chargers, Brocos and who's the

621
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: other one out there, Chiefs. I think it's all relative too.

622
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we hate the Colts, you know, so

623
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: much that if we were in that situation, I doubt

624
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: the Texans would want to ever see the Colts get

625
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. Just win the game. Hey, look, that

626
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: was a relatively safe play called to hand off to Jacobs,

627
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: and everyone's criticizing Staling on the time out. Look, the

628
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: Raiders are going to run a play anyway. That still

629
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: could have happened, all right, Drey and I l stuff.

630
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: Nick Saban and Kirby Smarta both said, look, we might

631
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: need regulation on this. It's gonna get tough. I don't,

632
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I can't quote them on this,

633
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: but your feelings on nil, I mean, my feelings are

634
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: this is really good for college athletics. I think it

635
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: has to be handled properly, but it's really good for

636
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: the athletes. It's about time, and it's a good way

637
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: to do it in my opinion overall. Yeah, but I

638
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: think it's gonna get out of hand. I think it

639
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: me in some cases already be out of hand and

640
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: their needs. And this is coming from two guys that

641
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: are already sitting the top of the mountain. So they're

642
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: trying to tell you that we can pick up the

643
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: phone and call boosters and get whatever we need in

644
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: order to stay competitive and even maybe take it to

645
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: the next level and put some more separation between and

646
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: our programs and the rest. I definitely think there needs

647
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: to be legislation something that puts this in a that

648
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: rebags it, so to speak, to put it out there,

649
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: let it get it. We knew once you open that

650
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: door it was going to get out of hand without

651
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: any structure to it. And so from from that standpoint,

652
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: you can pay anybody anytime and and disguises it right

653
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: now as whatever you want it to be and whatever amountain.

654
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,719
Speaker 1: And I think it's absolutely ridiculous that maybe you know,

655
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: maybe you give kids something, but maybe it's at the

656
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: end at the evencentivize it at the end of graduation,

657
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: that this goes in a trust for when you graduate,

658
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: because the college degree will become absent. Now that we

659
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: have got all this stuff, We're gonna see kids struggle

660
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: to stay eligible because you're giving them all this money,

661
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: what's the incentive to go to class. I'm already hearing

662
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: that the majority of kids are tests starting to take

663
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: classes online now and they aren't even going into a classroom.

664
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: So you know, all this kind of falls under the

665
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: same umbrella of it's going to be tough and it's

666
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: going to get crazy. You already can't tell kids what

667
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: to do. Now you're going to give them money and

668
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: you can't tell them what to do. It's it's it's

669
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: just kind of it needs some structure to it, some way, somehow.

670
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: But I would have incentivized it for after graduation to

671
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: motivate kids to get college degrees so you have somewhere

672
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: to go when it doesn't work out. Over the last

673
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: couple of years, in particular man conversations with Dre and

674
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: Mark and me, there's fun. Is anything that we get

675
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: an opportunity to do. I mean we almost it stops

676
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: being an interview and it's the three of us just

677
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: chatting about ball talking about things going on. Is such

678
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: a blast to be part of this radio crew. I

679
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 1: know they've been doing it for twenty years and this

680
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: was just finishing up my eighth year. But love those

681
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: guys to death and it's always a fun conversation with

682
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: the three of us, get together, all right when we

683
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: get back. It was a wild twenty four hours in

684
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean wild. It started at noon, it

685
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 1: went all the way through the evening, it filtered through

686
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: the morning. Wow, we'll look back at it all next

687
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: right here in Texas all access excess excess. Wow, what

688
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: a wild weekend it was in the NFL Saturday and Sunday.

689
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: But Saturday games pretty much went the way you expected.

690
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 1: Philly wasn't playing anybody against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys

691
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: came out in house the Eagles, and then you had

692
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs had to fight a little bit, had a

693
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 1: scoop and score by rookie Nick Bolton after a hit

694
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: by Melvin Ingram, who was a great ad to the

695
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs defense, and that locked up win number

696
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: twelve for the Chiefs. But the drama, if you will,

697
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: started on Sunday in the NFL. So you know what,

698
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: queue up my music and let's rock. Looking back at

699
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: these games now, Bengals and Browns. The Bengals didn't send

700
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: anybody to Cleveland for that game. Joe Burrowed didn't play

701
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: a couple of guys were on COVID. In fact, the

702
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: Bengals today brought back eleven guys to get ready for

703
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: the playoff matchup they're gonna have next week. But the

704
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: Browns gotta win case. Keenum got that win one hundred

705
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: and seventy six yards passing too tutties and Dearnest Johnson

706
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: ran for one hundred twenty three yards. That's the second

707
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: time he's gone over one hundred this year. The Browns

708
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: finished the year at eight to nine. And why does

709
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: that matter? Well, that win for Cleveland, combined with Baltimore's loss,

710
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: put Cleveland into third place in the AFC North. And

711
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: guests who've finished in third place THEFC South, that's right,

712
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. So by virtue of that Browns win,

713
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 1: Ravens loss, and we'll get that Ravens loss a second.

714
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: The Texans will take on the Cleveland Browns at NRG

715
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: Stadium in twenty twenty two. The Lions one by virtue

716
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: of their win over the Packers where Aaron Rodgers played

717
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: just the first half that gave the Jacksonville Jaguars the

718
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: number one overall pick, the Lions do get to win

719
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: thirty seven thirty. Rogers sat the second half, but the

720
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: Lions Jared Goff throws two touchdowns. The Lions finished three

721
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: thirteen and one. Should have had another couple of wins.

722
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: The Lions should not be picking second, They should be

723
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: picking probably fifth or six. But a couple of bad bounces,

724
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: a couple of really big field goals, and the Lions

725
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: end up three thirteen and one. They'll pick second, with

726
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: Jacksonville picking first and the Texans picking third. Green Bay

727
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: finishes thirteen and four, butts number one seed in the NFC.

728
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of the NFC, the NFC North two teams completely

729
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: erasing and whitewashing their entire football ops department. The Vikings

730
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: beat the Bears thirty one seventeen this morning. The Bears

731
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: fired Ryan paced GM head coach Matt Nagy. The Minnesota

732
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 1: Vikings fired GM Rick Spielman and head coach Mike Zimmer,

733
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: restarting the whole thing in both locations, and by virtue

734
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 1: of Minnesota's win, Minnesota finished in second place in the

735
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: NFC North, finishing in third place they Chicago Bears. Why

736
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: does that matter? Well, similarly to Cleveland, the Texans will

737
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: play the NFC North third place team, at their location.

738
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: We will be going to Chicago next year. Dang it.

739
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: I was hoping that the Bears would win this one

740
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: that would move the Vikings in the third place, and

741
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: they played at Doome. Oh boy, all right. Anyways, we'll

742
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: go to Chicago next year and see how the Bears

743
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: are reconfigured with new GM, new head coach, and we'll

744
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: eventually see how the Vikings are reconfigured with a new GM,

745
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: a new head coach. Washington football team beat the New

746
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: York Giants, but that's not the story here. The story

747
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: is that the Giants will keep Joe Judge as head coach.

748
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: And if you're a Giants fan, I'm sorry because that

749
00:38:55,560 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: was abysmal. What happened with your team yesterday, Dave Edelman.

750
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: The GM has retired, so the Giants will be looking

751
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: for a new GM, But for right now, the coach

752
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: is Joe Judge. I mentioned the Colts and the Jaguars earlier.

753
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: The Jaguars earned the number one pick and they will

754
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: have it, but they had a jaw dropper of a

755
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: win yesterday, beating the Indianapolis Colts twenty six to eleven.

756
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence one of his better games two hundred twenty

757
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: three yards and two touchdowns. Requil Armstead ran for fifty

758
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: two and Marvin Jones had eighty eight yards and a tutty.

759
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: But they dominated this game from beginning to end. The

760
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: Colts didn't score a touchdown until there were four minutes

761
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 1: and twenty six seconds left in the game. That lost

762
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: knocked the Colts out of playoff competition, and we'll watch

763
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 1: it all unfold on Hard Knocks this week. Jaguars win.

764
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: That was the third win of the year. They finished

765
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: three and fourteen and fourth in the AFC South. Colts

766
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: finished nine and eight, second in the AFC South. One

767
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: of the games of the day. It was not the

768
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: prettiest play game. It had levels of ugly to it,

769
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: but it didn't matter because Big Ben Roethlisberger found a way.

770
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: This sucker got the overtime. And I'm telling you I

771
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: saw Ben Roethlisberger make a couple of throws in overtime

772
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: like that's the old Ben. And as I look at

773
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: different um score like scoring detail of games, there's some

774
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: places like I'm looking at the ESPN app and they

775
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: have win probability. The win probability graph goes like I

776
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 1: mean up and down, up and down, up and down,

777
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: up and down and up down in the fourth quarters great.

778
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: I just absolutely nutso what happened in that game. But

779
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers got the win, and because of that loss

780
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: by the Ravens, they fell to the basement in the

781
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: NFFC North. That means the Jags will play the Ravens,

782
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: but it means the Texas play the Browns and Steelers

783
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: go on to the playoffs. They will travel to Kansas City.

784
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: The Saints look good in the thirty to twenty win

785
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: at Atlanta. Arthur Smith's first year finishes seven to ten.

786
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: The Saints get to nine to eight and they needed

787
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: some help from the Rams, and the Rams had a

788
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: seventeen nothing lead. But then Jimmy Garoppolo I said it

789
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 1: during the week. I would have gone with Trey Lance.

790
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 1: They didn't, and it worked for the forty nine ers.

791
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo looked as good as I've seen him. He

792
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 1: made key throws throughout the fourth quarter, tied the game,

793
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: sent to overtime, Jimmy let him on a field goal drive,

794
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: and then Ambrey Thomas, the rookie, picked off a Matt

795
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: Stafford passed to get the forty nine Ers into playoffs.

796
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: San Francisco will take on Dallas this week, but the

797
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: Saints then had to go home. The Bills beat the

798
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: Jets twenty seven to ten to win the AFC East.

799
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 1: It would have won it anyways, because the Patriots lost

800
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: to the Dolphins thirty three to twenty four. Congratulations to

801
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: my guys, sal for a second straight AFC East championship.

802
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: They those teams will play each other this weekend. In Buffalo.

803
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: The Seahawks beat the Cardinals. The Cardinals had a shot

804
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: with the Rams losing and winning division, but Russell Wilson

805
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: put it on the Cardinals yesterday with two hundred thirty

806
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: eight yards and three tuddies for a shot Penny, just

807
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: like he was against us. The story one hundred ninety

808
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown, the first round pick finally paying

809
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: off and in the game maybe of the season. The

810
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: Raiders and Chargers last night played one for the Ages.

811
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:39,280
Speaker 1: My goodness, what a game. Thirty five thirty two. Daniel

812
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: Carlson hits a field goal as overtime expires to move

813
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,439
Speaker 1: the Raiders into the preseason. A tie would have gotten

814
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: both in, but the Raiders win sent the Raiders in

815
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: and the Steelers in What a crazy, crazy ball game

816
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: that was? All right, that's when our in the books

817
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: we get back. Spencer Tuminal join us right here in

818
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: Texas Access. Welcome back to this last hour of Texans

819
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: All Access for the twenty twenty one season. N I'm

820
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: your host, John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter for your

821
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, and it's time to catch up with our

822
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: good pal Spencer Tillman. I love an opportunity to talk

823
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: to Spencer because I think the phrase keeping it real

824
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: didn't come from Spencer, but I think he believes that

825
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: every single day he will keep it real. So he

826
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: will never say that. He'll say it in a more

827
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: eloquent manner, but he's gonna tell the truth. Whether it

828
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: hurts or doesn't. The truth is coming. It's the truth

829
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: right now. With Spencer Tillman and myself and Mark, here

830
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 1: we go. So your thoughts at the half and then

831
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: your thoughts after the second half. My friend probably the

832
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 1: same with yours. Was not very impressive from the first half,

833
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: but I think the upshot for me was what one

834
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 1: thing we hadn't seen to this point and Davis Mills

835
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: ascension is a second half surge and one where you're

836
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: able to get in at half time, assess what was

837
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: working was not working, and then come out and extended

838
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: a lot of times, what happens when you have a

839
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 1: young quarterback that is not able to absorb the corpus

840
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: of data that doesn't apply here because the guy's brilliant,

841
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: a smart, a very intelligent, doesn't wear an arm band,

842
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't need a you know, a pridge

843
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: sheet or anything like that. That speaks to something. But

844
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: usually happens those guys sought off slow and but once

845
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: they get all the information, you really can't stop them.

846
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: There's this kind of fast push, and I think that's

847
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: kind of what we saw. To me, it was the

848
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: second half command that really was indicative of his growth.

849
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 1: That to me was impressive because he built on that

850
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 1: and we saw four and five tools being expressed on

851
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 1: individual plays. Slide not a pocket, motion, sideways, going opposite

852
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 1: against the direction he's going. He saw some athleticism, even

853
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: more decision may if he just eventually learns how to

854
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: kind of own things down just a little bit and

855
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: not let that arm get a little bit too live

856
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: when he gets pressure. I think that's the next step

857
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 1: that we see in his evolution. Hopefully you know we

858
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: can see a little bit of it and no tas

859
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: and things of that nature, and don't have to wait

860
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 1: till make sure to see that growth spencer. At halftime,

861
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: Coach Colley told me going into half and I asked

862
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: him about what would maybe jump start the offense. He

863
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: mentioned tempo, and Davis talked about it after the game.

864
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: You've been in a huddle. I don't know how much

865
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: you ever ran much tempo. I know you probably weren't

866
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: two minute situations at time where the tempo has got

867
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:36,399
Speaker 1: to pick up. Why in your estimation did tempo help

868
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: Davis yesterday and why in general does it seemingly help

869
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to go with a little faster tempo at times

870
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 1: that are not the two minute drill. Well, you opening

871
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: up a Pendora's box there. Because you know I'm an analyst,

872
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to say what I see right, I'll tell

873
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: you the truth about that, Tason. Tempo, John, as you know,

874
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: affects both the head coach, the play caller, and everybody

875
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: involved because what it does it eleerates the time that

876
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: you have to assess what's being done strategically against you.

877
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: It forces you to push the envelope and find out

878
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,280
Speaker 1: what you want to do faster. You have to properly

879
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: dis earn what's the context in the downand distance scenarios

880
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: all of that, and that puts additional stress on you. Listen,

881
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: that's nothing to be ashamed of. Necessarily. It was a

882
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: time when two thousand and twelve, a white hot then

883
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: coach Kevin Sumone rolled into touch Toloosa and just absolutely

884
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: spanked Alabama with you know, Johnny Benzel and they just

885
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: crushed them. And the next thing you heard was Nick Saban.

886
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean, we all can agree that he's one of

887
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: the greatest coaches in colleges, not the greatest that ever

888
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: coached the game. He was lamenting the fact that they

889
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: were going too fast, even citing help in concerns as

890
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: an issue. And then he promptly after he figured out

891
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: he couldn't be when that war when he started running

892
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: pace and tempo. So my point is, this guy's it

893
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: affects a lot of different people. I remember, and I

894
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: said this in this presence too, so you guys may

895
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: have been actually in the room when it happened, but

896
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: I asked Little'brian about running pace and temper using it

897
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: as a tactical advantage and not only asking that question

898
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: because I think the previous week we were down like

899
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: fourteen points or so, when we're still huddling up and

900
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying, they do, you know, there's nothing wrong. They

901
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: don't shame in the game if you if you need

902
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 1: to do, use Payson tempo, particularly to your point against

903
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: the team that's got three or four guys on the

904
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: back end that's out. There's no way they're going to

905
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: be a steeped end, but they're trying to accomplish on

906
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: the back end, and you took advantage of them a

907
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: couple of times, particularly on the first four with the

908
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: fleet flicker. You know, you still those safeties come down

909
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: out of that hole and you've had success for the

910
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. You know, Rex didn't have a

911
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: great week last week rushing, but before then he was

912
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: on a tear and those safeties were responding to what

913
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: they saw. And when he saw him with the ball

914
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 1: that came down high out of that hole and then boom,

915
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: you Moore's right past them. So that stuff matters. And

916
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: when you can take advantage of a back end, the

917
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: struggling Payson Temple is the tactical advantage is a great weapon. Absolutely,

918
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: Spencer Tillman joining US spatser offseason prescripture, give me two

919
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: or three priorities. It really helps that you know much

920
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: more about Davis Mills heading into his second season. What

921
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: are you thinking here? Free agency? The draft is a

922
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 1: lot of work to do. Well. Listen, nothing happens without

923
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 1: solving or at least from your perspective, let's say yours,

924
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: I meaning the texts perspective, You've got to do something

925
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 1: with DeShawn Watson. That's the lynchpin. That's the lynchpin to everything.

926
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: Anything that we can speculate on this call about free agency.

927
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: With exception of three or four guys that are you know,

928
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: one year deals on the defense Society lineback you could

929
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: always use personality. Got to do something with read he

930
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: probably won't be here. There's there's always going to be

931
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: one or two or three of those situations and a

932
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: defensive structure that requires a lot of activity. You've got

933
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: a lot of guys in that linebacking corps because so

934
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: much is demanded of them that that misted a lot

935
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: of time that we're quite frankly intenser athletic guys, very

936
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: high contributors, but you always got to have that. But

937
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: none of that takes place unless you can deal with

938
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: that forty millions you got on your books with Deshaun

939
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: Watson if you let him hang around. So you gotta do,

940
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, gotta do something with that. That numbers around

941
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: twelve fifteen or whatever it is, run ten three this year,

942
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: but then it jumps up significantly next year, but then

943
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: the total of that numbers around forty. So with forty

944
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: million on your books, man, if you even start speculating

945
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: about coaches, who's gonna be moves, knots. I'm just being

946
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: transparent with you as an analyst. What head coach is

947
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: gonna want to come into that scenario where you don't

948
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: have that matter taking care of because everything is affected

949
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: by that. You can't build the team properly with that

950
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: kind of cash out there not available to you. So

951
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: to me, that's the first order of business when March

952
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: rolls around. By mid March, we've got to get that

953
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: thing taking care of Spencer. This is gonna maybe sound

954
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: like an odd question, but you've played the game. You've

955
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: played a final game, and that when the zero's hit

956
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: what's more difficult at the end of the season, getting

957
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: back physically right or getting back mentally right after a long,

958
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: hard season. This would be a good problem for the

959
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: Texans to have. I remember when I was in San

960
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: Francisco that second Super Bowl Trophy. I'm sitting down on

961
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: the floor of the Super Bowl. I'm exhausted, I'm spent,

962
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: and I remember Joe Montana coming up in the back

963
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 1: of you, slapping on the back of the mac M

964
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: the helmet, and he called me an explative and he says,

965
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: get up. You know he used these explative He says,

966
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: we're already six months behind. And I remember that and

967
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: I started doing the mask. When I got inside, I'm thinking,

968
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: oh my god, he's absolutely right. When you scring super

969
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 1: Bowls back to back to back, all of a sudden, Man,

970
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: if you look over three times of your period, you're

971
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: you're basically a whole frigging year behind. So it gets

972
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: tougher and tougher. Guys who're gonna be able to move

973
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: because of the success that you have. You got to

974
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: hang on to that in the calorie a salary cap environment,

975
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: and you're gonna lose players. And so for me, those

976
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,399
Speaker 1: years go by fast. They're already measured in dollge years.

977
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: But the more successful you are, the more challenging it becomes.

978
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: And you're right, your physical body does not recover as fast.

979
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,839
Speaker 1: And if you're losing and you play an extra month

980
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: and you stack those, that's two months. Man, that's your

981
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: summer basically gone. If you got back to back Super

982
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: Bowls like we had, you're you're in trouble man. Physically,

983
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 1: your body's not gonna respond the way it typically would

984
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: if you had more time to recover. So if there

985
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: is a a cumulative effect or impact to be sure,

986
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: all right, and sir, jobs open right now you get

987
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: to be the head coach and have to pick one

988
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: of these. Yeah, Miami with two of their Chicago justin Fields, Minnesota.

989
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins still lives there Denver, just watching well, Drew Locke.

990
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if Bridgewater's under contract for next year,

991
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: but they've had a tough quarterback situation there in Denver,

992
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: Jacksonville with Trevor Lawrence. Am I missing anybody? Johnny? I

993
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 1: think that was it? Yeah? Pick one potentially Las Vegas potentially, right,

994
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 1: I doubt it, doubt it with Rich Pisachi whether he's done,

995
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: but maybe what do you think. You know what I

996
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: would do is because I know Trevor Lawrence well, I

997
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:41,919
Speaker 1: would go with him. And here's why. I know. There's

998
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: some toxic issues within the culture there, and I think

999
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: that got him again. I'm not trying to disparage anybody here, guys,

1000
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: but I understand human personality, particularly in the concept of football,

1001
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: and I understand catastrophic leadership and the impact it can

1002
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: have on the organization and beyond the walls of the

1003
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: program self. Tom Tamson was not a good fit there.

1004
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: If you notice his personality, it was wired in such

1005
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 1: a way. They've got prolific numbers in terms of how

1006
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: much they penalized guys, and it was just known throughout

1007
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: the league NFL PA. I talked to the Marius Smith

1008
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: and all of the guys. They're the team they put.

1009
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: They levy more fines than anybody ever. It's because of

1010
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 1: his leadership style and Rock saying there's not times where

1011
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 1: that's not warranted. And then you go get an Urban

1012
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: Meyer who's basically Urban's got a master's degree in psychology

1013
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: and he's a control freak. And so those two types

1014
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: of personalities are enabling personality. They do not balance or

1015
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 1: check one another. But I do know that quarterback as

1016
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 1: an unbelievable quarterback, and if you give me him, I

1017
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: can build some I take Trevor Lawrence. Of any of

1018
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 1: those teams, in the quarterbacks you mentioned and those other

1019
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: four teams you mentioned, Jacksonville got the best quarterback with potential.

1020
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: If he's got the right people. Listen, Listen to me.

1021
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 1: Is no different than Joe Burrow. You get with the

1022
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: right coordinator, it changes everything. Joe Burrow couldn't even make

1023
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 1: the roster at LSU, went into the Ohio State, That's

1024
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,439
Speaker 1: why he ended up there. But with Joe Brady comes

1025
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: in boom. You know, the guy's unbelievable. We count. It's

1026
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: all about fit, all about personnel. Spencer, what do you

1027
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: think tonight? Alabama, Georgia? Who do you got? I like Alabama? Man,

1028
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go against Nick Sabans. You know I've

1029
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 1: known Nick brolmost thirty five years, and I can tell

1030
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: you it doesn't matter who you mark in there, he's

1031
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: gonna have success. I mean, Bill, give him. This is

1032
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 1: not a left hand compliment. Bill O'Brien sliving he's struggling

1033
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: from time and that, but he can win in that system.

1034
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: It's because of a Nick Saban system. You're one of

1035
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: the things you do with your job. I suppose at

1036
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: some point you I don't want to say you take

1037
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: it for granted, but when you do things on a

1038
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: routine basis, you know, Monday's okay, we do this, we

1039
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: do that. We talked to Andre Ware, we talked to

1040
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 1: John McClain, We talked to Spencer Tillman. Every single Monday,

1041
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: Mark and I get to chop it up about the game,

1042
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: the future, all that kind of stuff. I try so

1043
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 1: hard to not take for granted. Well, we here in

1044
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 1: Houston have the opportunity to do. First of all, Mark

1045
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: and I we'd love having an opportunity to talk to

1046
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: the fans, and it's since fans of the NFL, but

1047
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,720
Speaker 1: man talking Andre Ware and Spencer Tillman and John McClain

1048
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: is just such a blast. It's such an honor. It

1049
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: is really really cool that we get to have them

1050
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 1: every single Monday and then joining us on All Access.

1051
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's I never will take that for granted.

Speaker 1: They are good friends, they're great people. They just are

Speaker 1: segment called the ultimately the plays the game from the

1063
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 1: previous game. Now, they would have been some good ones

1064
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: from this pass game, but there's no Replay show tomorrow

1065

Speaker 1: at Sports Radio six ten and in various locations throughout

1080
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 1: the state and allotted from places. It's a fun show.

1081
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 1: It's always one in which I look back, so you

1082
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 1: can always find good things to look back on. We

1083
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: did a lot of where are they now is this year?

1084
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 1: We look back at four really cool wins. Tough losses too.

1085
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: We always look back at those we gotta do it,

1086
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 1: but some really cool moments along the way. Now, this

1087
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: obviously was not a season that we look back and

1088
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: say that was awesome, but we did still see some

1089
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 1: pretty awesome things along the way. So I figured, why

1090
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: not do a season recap with no replay tomorrow? Why not?

1091
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: Because our this is it. It's the last hour of

1092
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 1: All Access for the twenty twenty one season. We go

1093
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: dark until after the Super Bowl and then offseason twenty

1094
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: twenty two starts the Monday after the Super Bowl, we'll

1095
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,919
Speaker 1: come back. So with no replay tomorrow, I thought, why

1096
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,879
Speaker 1: don't we do an ultimate eleven Plays of the year.

1097
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 1: You know what, why the hell not? It's radio. Let's

1098
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: have some fun. Let's look back to fun moments. Football's

1099
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:02,919
Speaker 1: fun didn't crash, David said in Bull Durham, Baseball's fun,

1100
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: have fun and they use some words I can't really

1101
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: say on the radio, but you get the point. So

1102
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 1: let's have some fun. You know, the only one four games?

1103
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:12,959
Speaker 1: What are you doing? You know what? If you feel

1104
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: that way, get lost. We're talking some good fun Ultimate

1105
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: eleven moments starting at number eleven in week one. Now,

1106
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 1: all season long, we had the opportunity to talk to

1107
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 1: our pal, Brandy Cooks. He showed up every single Monday,

1108
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: no matter what, unless he was hurt, then he couldn't.

1109
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: That was when we couldn't do it. And it's San

1110
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: Francisco when you know what. I'll tell the San Francisco

1111
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 1: story a little bit later. But we couldn't get to

1112
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: him for San Francisco because I had interview him out

1113
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: to San Francisco and we couldn't do it. Well, i'll

1114
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: tell you why later. It's kind of a fun story.

1115
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: And kind of makes twenty twenty one a very special

1116
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: year for that matter. Anyways, Brandy Cooks was outstanding and

1117
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: it started in week one. We know Brandon can catch

1118
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,439
Speaker 1: anything anywhere, anytime. One thing I never thought Brandon really

1119
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: was was kind of a fifty fifty ball receiver, like

1120
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 1: going up over guys and catching it. Now he's got

1121
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: about a forty in vert maybe more, but it's not

1122
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: really his game, you know. But against Jacksonville twice he

1123
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: made massive plays. And they come in at number eleven

1124
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: one back David Johnson. I'm third and nine from the

1125
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: forty two of Jacksonville. Taylor gets the snap. They set

1126
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: up the blitz and as a throwdown field Cooks down

1127
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: there and a fight for the ball inside the five

1128
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: and it's a catch by the Texans. Jenkins and Cooks

1129
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: fighting for it and Brandon Cooks tiges to the runner

1130
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: first in goal, third down and inches. Here are the

1131
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 1: Texans twenty five seconds on the clock. Taylor gets the snap.

1132
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: Taylor with pressure, Taylor looking gets out of it, look

1133
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: side squares up and he's a long downfield and cloth

1134
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: By Cooks shitside the ten yard line. The brad by

1135
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: Brandon time out Texans twelve seconds left, and the Texans

1136
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: would score shortly thereafter. I's all right, Taylor too, Danny

1137
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: m and Dola touchdown that ended the scoring the first

1138
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 1: half of What a first half that was. In the

1139
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: Week one win over Jacksonville. Later in the year, as

1140
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: the Texans were looking for win number two, it would

1141
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: come against Nashville at number ten. Well. The Texans ended

1142
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: up with four of these interceptions on the day, but

1143
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: there were two that were back breakers for the Tennessee Titans.

1144
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: The first one came when the Titans were trying to

1145
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 1: drive and score to take a lead, but that's when

1146
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: Camu Gruger Hill stepped in front to make a play.

1147
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 1: Third down at six, Titans at the Houston eighteen yard line.

1148
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: Tannehill calling signals, Texans showing blitz here, Fitzpatrick in motion

1149
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:56,959
Speaker 1: to the left side. Tannehill takes the snap, He's got tied.

1150
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: He throws it's picked off Fruge Hill right side, one

1151
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: third forty to the fifties right sideline thirty twenty fifteen

1152
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 1: ten five and he's down at the five yard line.

1153
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: Could not make it all the way as Hill here.

1154
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 1: It brings them down flut Texans have a first and

1155
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: goal after the pick five Cobo bruge Hill. Now that

1156
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 1: did look off we familiar because we had seen that

1157
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Justin Ree got involved to knock a ball

1158
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: away from Anthony Firkser, landing the lap of Whitney Merciless,

1159
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 1: and he took off in the same direction, running about

1160
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: as fast as Kama gruge Hill was running, and away

1161
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 1: you go. This one was just grugier Hill stepping in front,

1162
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: snagging it and going the other way. The Texans then

1163
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: later had a nineteen to thirteen lead, but the Titans

1164
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 1: had the ball, started to get a little something going,

1165
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: but Desmond King, already having picked off Ryan Tannehill once

1166
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: made it twice. This is ten b if you will,

1167
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: third town and thirteen Titans from there twenty six Tannehill

1168
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: shotgun one back, but clamation right. Here's the snap Texans

1169
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 1: sending people. Tenni Hill hit us, he throws, it's picked

1170
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 1: up by King. King has it to his right across

1171
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: the thirty. That's twenty five. That's twenty takes Tale going

1172
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 1: and out of bound inside that's twenty yard line. The

1173
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 1: huge takeaway for the Texas. Just stop Tennessee pouring down rain,

1174
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: interception by King and absolute bedlam going onto the sidelines. Man,

1175
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 1: what a day that was. All Right, it's get to

1176
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 1: number nine and when you set a record, you're gonna

1177
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: go in the ultimate eleven and right before half. Kymie

1178
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: Fairbairn set a record. Now he has knocked home keyfield

1179
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: goes throughout his career. Twenty eighteen, he back to back

1180
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: game winners against both Indianapolis and Dallas. I mean, of

1181
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 1: all teams take game winners, but this year against Seattle,

1182
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: he did something that no Texans ever done, that he's

1183
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 1: never done, and that was in his sixty one yard

1184
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 1: fuel goal, and he did it against the Seattle Seahawks

1185
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 1: to set a team record. It is at number nine,

1186
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 1: sixty one yard field goal attempt for Kimi Fairbairn. The

1187
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 1: snap is down, the kick is up, It's on the

1188
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 1: way man, He's got it. A career past sixty one

1189
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: yard field goal for Fairbairn. As time expires in the

1190
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:26,439
Speaker 1: first half and the Texans cut the lead to three,

1191
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: you're going back and watch that play. I was standing

1192
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 1: back by the goal post like I always do, and

1193
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: I looked in front of him and I saw dk

1194
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: Metcalf and I was like, oh man, oh god, no,

1195
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 1: just no. And I'm watching the field goal and I'm

1196
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: watching it come down. I'm like, I think he's got this.

1197
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 1: When I went back and I watched the TV replay,

1198
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 1: the offensive front did exactly what they're supposed to do.

1199
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: They all fanned out and started covering just in case

1200
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 1: Metcalf where to catch that ball. But he didn't because

1201
01:02:55,680 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: Fairbairn knocked it home from sixty one yard. Oh baby,

1202
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 1: all right, it's get the number eight and two guys

1203
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 1: that I didn't think would link up for as important

1204
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 1: a play as it was at the beginning of the season.

1205
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 1: One was Rickie quarterback Davis Mills. The other it was

1206
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:19,240
Speaker 1: number two wide receiver Philip Dorset. The Jags tried to

1207
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: brilliant try to bring blitz zero on Davis Mills. Well,

1208
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: he recognized it and he flipped one down the field

1209
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: to his guy, Philip Doorset. He made a great catch,

1210
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 1: Philip Doorset did in the Charters game. I put this

1211
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: one in here because I felt like this was a

1212
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 1: more important play in the win against Jacksonville. It comes

1213
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: in number eight Mills to Doorset for thirty three big yards.

1214
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 1: Third down and seven at the Jacksonville forty four. Everybody

1215
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: loading up at the line with Mills and the shotgun

1216
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 1: set burke out of the backfield with the Davis with

1217
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: extra instructions lunch formation left side. Mills called, so the ball,

1218
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: here's the snap, here's the blitz. Mills hears it out

1219
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 1: down field to his left hand. Cut bike Dorset twenty

1220
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 1: fifteen dragged out at the eleven yard line, door set

1221
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: with the first out of the red zone. But the

1222
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 1: Texans griffin with a stop. Bo I can see that

1223
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: throw float in the air, and I'm like, but that

1224
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: ball is on the my mad it cats all. That

1225
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: was really fun. That was great stuff there from Davis,

1226
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: Mills and Philip Doorset all right to get to number

1227
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: seven and seven yards away. The Texans sat in Tennessee,

1228
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 1: hadn't scored a touchdown on the road. I think it

1229
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: was like two hundred and forty minutes or something of

1230
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: that magnitude. It was just it was not good. We

1231
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: didn't score for Arizona, we didn't score Inneapolis or Buffalo,

1232
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 1: and finally, oh man, it's Tennessee after the bye, can

1233
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: we put a touchdown up on the board. Tyrod Taylor

1234
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 1: said yes, And it comes in at number seven, second

1235
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: of goal at the seven years tailor out of the gun,

1236
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: flushed out to the left side, trying to square up.

1237
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: Now he's trying to run across the five tailor of

1238
01:04:55,200 --> 01:05:00,959
Speaker 1: times in touchdown Houston. There it is Texans first six

1239
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 1: on the tailor rod, their first TV on the road

1240
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 1: in two months plus. Yeah, you here like that two

1241
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 1: months plus. You're like, well, that's a long time, and

1242
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 1: then you hear the actual amount of minutes. It actually

1243
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 1: was like, wow, it was a long time, but it

1244
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 1: was a big touchdown. I put that one because it

1245
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 1: broke the street. Tyrod scored later and led to Texas.

1246
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 1: He a twenty two thirteen win over the Tennessee Titans

1247
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 1: that particular day. And it comes at number seven. All right,

1248
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 1: it's get to number six and the clincher. Now from

1249
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 1: a from an end of game standpoint, they didn't need

1250
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 1: a touchdown, just needed to run the clock out in Jacksonville.

1251
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,560
Speaker 1: But my man Brandon Cooks caught a little tunnel screen

1252
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: on third down, started to see a little opening, got

1253
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 1: a block, and I thought, hey, you know what, just

1254
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 1: go score, Brandon, and he did. Davis Mills to Brandon

1255
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: Cooks scoring in the fourth quarter to cement Davis Mills

1256
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 1: first win as a starting quarterback in the NFL. Third

1257
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 1: down and nine at the Jacksonville forty three Mills out

1258
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,439
Speaker 1: of the gun. They rowed the screen to Cook's left side,

1259
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 1: trying to find some room. How's the first out of

1260
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 1: more thirty twenty five twenty tifteen ten five brook and

1261
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 1: roll touchdown Houston, Brandon Cooks to the house. Two touchdown

1262
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 1: wins aren't bad, and the defense was able to close

1263
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: it out. That's number six Mills, two Cooks on the

1264
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: screen and Brandon Cooks doing the rest looking up at

1265
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: that score We'll never forget that, see him look up

1266
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 1: at that scoreboard and seeing what was behind him because

1267
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 1: nobody was gonna catch that guy, no doubt. All let's

1268
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 1: get to our five final plays of the season in

1269
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 1: our ultimate eleven and we fast forward to it. Well,

1270
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 1: it was a play that, ultimately, I don't want to

1271
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 1: say it. It didn't decide the game, and in fact,

1272
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 1: had nick O'Collins touches knee down the one, the Texas

1273
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: would have won this game twenty seven, twenty three. They

1274
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 1: just needed the first down. But then I realized, wait

1275
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,439
Speaker 1: a second, this is Nico's first touchdown, right, It's first

1276
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: touchdown ever. I got no problems with it. I really don't,

1277
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: because one of our other moments that's coming up came

1278
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 1: as a result of Nico actually scoring this touchdown. So again,

1279
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,919
Speaker 1: end of game analytics guy would be like, just got down.

1280
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: There's so much good about play number five here number one.

1281
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 1: Davis Mills decided to do this based on what he

1282
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 1: read on the coverage. This is a run play. Go

1283
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:38,439
Speaker 1: back and watch. You can see there's a run play

1284
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 1: going the other way, but there's a pass tag on

1285
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: at the offensive coordinator Tim Kelly put on it saying,

1286
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 1: here's your run play. Oh but oh, by the way,

1287
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 1: you've got this on the end of it. Nico ran

1288
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 1: at slant, got inside the corner, Davis stuck it on him,

1289
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:54,400
Speaker 1: and Nico got in the end zone. It's play number five,

1290
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 1: this touchdown that made it thirty four twenty three against

1291
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: the Chargers. First down at the charge her thirteen, Mills

1292
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:05,919
Speaker 1: digs in burkehead of the backfield. Mills quick Passnik got

1293
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 1: the five, Nike in the end zone. The dagger touchdown. Koston.

1294
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 1: My goodness, they're gonna do it, and I absolutely got

1295
01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 1: so charged up by Mark's call. I mean just oh,

1296
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:23,600
Speaker 1: I get chills thinking about it now to get the

1297
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: number four. We're gonna stay in the same game, and

1298
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 1: that's against the LA Chargers. Scores twelve to ten, and

1299
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: it looked like the Chargers, We're gonna try and put

1300
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 1: some more up on the board right before the half,

1301
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: but jo Jonathan Owens made a great interception that got

1302
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: the ball back to the Texans. They had it about

1303
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 1: the four yard line and they just couldn't get out

1304
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,599
Speaker 1: of the shadow of their own goal post until Lenvell

1305
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 1: Joseph got called for a defensive holding penalty that gave

1306
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 1: the Texans a first down. Shortly thereafter, Davis Mills launched

1307
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: a bomb. The Philip Door said, who made a tremendous catch,

1308
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 1: And shortly thereafter came play number four, another bomb. Defensive

1309
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:10,599
Speaker 1: backs sitting low, Chris Conley ran by him, and Davis Mills,

1310
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: not supposed to look that direction, did look in that direction,

1311
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: and because of that magic happened. Mills took Conley to

1312
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 1: take a seventeen twelve lead before the half. At the

1313
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: forty one first down, Mills of the gun airs it

1314
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 1: out longdown the white side, Gona Manna touchdown Chris Conley

1315
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 1: for six. Rocking Room Man marked old out a couple

1316
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 1: of rock and rolls in that game against the LA Chargers.

1317
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:42,640
Speaker 1: He brought a different flavor to this last one at

1318
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:46,639
Speaker 1: number three. For that Chargers game, I mentioned the Nico

1319
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 1: Collins touchdown that made it thirty four to twenty three.

1320
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 1: The Texans had an eleven point lead. Herbert and the

1321
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,559
Speaker 1: Chargers are explosive. We saw that on Sunday night. Man

1322
01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 1: Holy smokes, he throws rockets, but the Texas defense was

1323
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 1: on one against the Chargers. Justin Herbert went back to

1324
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 1: pass around midfield and Tavier Thomas was about to etch

1325
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: his name into Texans history with this play at number three,

1326
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 1: a pick six to seal it against the Chargers first half.

1327
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: Chargers at their thirty eight Herbert shotgun one back Jackson.

1328
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 1: Five men across the front for the Texans. Herbert takes

1329
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:32,799
Speaker 1: the snap, Herbert liftime, floats the ball. It's intercept. Thomas

1330
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 1: upside forty thirty twenty fifteen ten five to the house

1331
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 1: picks its Merry Christmas. Obviously, in a four and thirteen season,

1332
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna be some rough points, a lot of rough points.

1333
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 1: But that went over the Chargers. I mean, my god,

1334
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 1: that went over the Chargers day after Christmas holiday victory.

1335
01:10:57,920 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 1: You beat the Chargers, a team that was playing for

1336
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 1: the play offs on Sunday night. I know you beat them.

1337
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean you beat them. You did it in all

1338
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 1: three phases you had. I mean the number of players

1339
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 1: around COVID that you played without in that particular game.

1340
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks was not in that game. Titus Howard's out

1341
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 1: of that game. I don't know how the offensive line

1342
01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: even came together in that game. And yet Rex Birkehead

1343
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:23,280
Speaker 1: ran for a buck forty nine mills through the ball

1344
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 1: extremely well. Tab with that pick. He ended up being

1345
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 1: AFC defensive player the week. That week. It was just

1346
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 1: it's a victory. I'll remember. Look, there are lots of them,

1347
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: big playoff victories, the Raiders in sixteen, the Bills in

1348
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen that I'll never forget. Big wins, Kansas City

1349
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: in tween nineteen at Kansas City. There are so many

1350
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 1: big wins. Now went against the Chargers. I'll remember for

1351
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 1: a long time. There was a lot of joy in

1352
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 1: that building, and every single person wearing a Texans logo

1353
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 1: that day, needed it, got it, and celebrated it as

1354
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:57,240
Speaker 1: they should. All Right, it's get to number two here,

1355
01:11:57,320 --> 01:12:00,680
Speaker 1: and number two actually has got two plays now. I

1356
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 1: for some reason, going into the finale, I had a thought.

1357
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, we've been really close

1358
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 1: at halftime, not really close. We've been close in games

1359
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 1: at halftime, nothing really outside the realm of possibility gets

1360
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 1: something going in the you know, in the third quarter,

1361
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 1: and maybe get from fourteen and notin to fourteen to

1362
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 1: three or fourteen to seven. We just have not been

1363
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 1: a second half team at all. So I was like,

1364
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 1: how rough is it bad? Well? I looked and I

1365
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 1: was like, we had had three touchdowns in the third

1366
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:38,719
Speaker 1: quarter all season long, up until Sunday against the Tennessee Titans,

1367
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 1: and then we scored another one that gave us four,

1368
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 1: well four touchdowns in the third quarter. Two of them

1369
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 1: came on the exact same flee flicker. I put them

1370
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 1: at two A and two B in chronological order. In

1371
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 1: Week five, to take a twenty two to nine lead

1372
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 1: over the New England Patriots, Davis Mills found Chris Connelly

1373
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 1: after mark Ingram flipped him the ball back to throw

1374
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: it down a field Week seventeen, eighteen, Week eighteen, now

1375
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 1: Week eighteen. Look at that seventeen game schedule. Always forget

1376
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 1: that in week eighteen. This time, Rex Burkhead flipped it

1377
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 1: back to Davis Mills, who then found Chris Moore in

1378
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:30,560
Speaker 1: the end zone. Same flee flicker twice, two of the

1379
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 1: four touchdowns that Texas scored a third quarter. Now, I

1380
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:34,720
Speaker 1: want to score a whole heck of a lot more

1381
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: than four touchdowns in the third quarter going forward. But

1382
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 1: the fact they scored him on these two plays means

1383
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:42,599
Speaker 1: they're coming in number two. Mills under center, hands off,

1384
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 1: and it's a fleeflicker. Mills firing down field twos right.

1385
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 1: Bons Commy has him at the five reason Texas scoring

1386
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 1: the fleeflicker three touchdown passes for tables Mills first down

1387
01:13:56,479 --> 01:14:00,240
Speaker 1: at the Tennessee twenty eight yard line. No Brandon looks

1388
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 1: yet this quarter. Mills feeds Birkhead flee flicker. Mills throwing

1389
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:07,559
Speaker 1: downfield to us right, HiT's Chris Moore. He's in rock

1390
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 1: and roll. Touchdown Houston flee flicker pays offer the Texans

1391
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 1: their first score of the game. Now, oddity of vodity

1392
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:22,679
Speaker 1: as if you will. The Texans didn't win an either game,

1393
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:26,599
Speaker 1: ended up losing by three both times, but Davis Mills

1394
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 1: dropping dimes on those two flee flickers, one to Chris Conley,

1395
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 1: one to Chris Moore. Now at number one, and you

1396
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,040
Speaker 1: probably figured it out by now. If you're gonna wait

1397
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 1: a man, well, if you've done something you haven't done

1398
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:42,680
Speaker 1: in twelve years, it's taking you twelve years to do

1399
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 1: this one particular thing, you're probably gonna be number one. Now,

1400
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 1: Kaymie Fairban would have gotten there without sixty one year

1401
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 1: at field goal hadn't won the game or something. So

1402
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 1: the Texas have never done anything like that. But I

1403
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 1: think even Kimie would tell you, Yeah, this one takes

1404
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 1: the cake. At seven to three, Texans with a lead.

1405
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:05,599
Speaker 1: The Jags had just kicked the field goal and decided

1406
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:07,920
Speaker 1: they were going to kick the ball to Tremont Smith.

1407
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:12,800
Speaker 1: Bad move number one. Traymon Smith goes ninety eight to

1408
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 1: the house the first time for the Texans in twelve years.

1409
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 1: Raymond Smith three yards, but the ends up right. Let's

1410
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:23,760
Speaker 1: it fly and Smith is going to make the catch

1411
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:25,920
Speaker 1: at the two right side, over the five cutting left,

1412
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:30,200
Speaker 1: ten fifteenth A little scene twenty twenty five, thirty thirty five,

1413
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:32,759
Speaker 1: still going and he escapes out to the left side.

1414
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:39,719
Speaker 1: Forty thirty twenty ten five touchdown, Houston, Rock and roll.

1415
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 1: Traymon Smith coast to coast. Man. We got a few rockin'

1416
01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:46,000
Speaker 1: rolls this year. It's kind of nice. There you go.

1417
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:50,160
Speaker 1: Number one, Traymon Smith ninety eight yards to the He's

1418
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:53,679
Speaker 1: a and he had a great return against Tennessee yesterday,

1419
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,639
Speaker 1: got called back for a penalty. But man, Traymond Smith.

1420
01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 1: Glad he is coming back in twenty twenty too. We

1421
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:04,560
Speaker 1: are coming back. And I got a new predictions. I

1422
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:08,400
Speaker 1: do it every single week, but this time it's playoff

1423
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:10,040
Speaker 1: predictions because we won't be back on the air. It's

1424
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 1: off to the super Bowl. So I'm putting on wax

1425
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: Playoff predictions and what am I think? What do I

1426
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:19,160
Speaker 1: think is gonna happen tonight? Alabama, Georgia. That's next on

1427
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 1: Texans All Access, Some Texans All Access, some Texans All Axis.

1428
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:27,320

01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 1: And when this is over at eight o'clock and I

1431
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 1: step away, if I were a well, if I drank,

1432
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: I would make sure I went and got a Miller Light.

01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:00,360
Speaker 1: it on wax as I like to say. I think

1454
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's probably the nineties thing to say. But

1455
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 1: who cares. I'm an old don't care. March turn of fifty,

1456
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 1: don't care. But I gotta get my playoff predictions right

1457
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 1: now for you, because, like we said this last segment,

1458
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 1: before we go dark, we'll have podcasts and we'll do

1459
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:22,759
Speaker 1: some of those things, and my Senior Bowl stuff definitely

1460
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:24,760
Speaker 1: will share with the guys in Sports Radio six ten,

1461
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 1: so you'll have some of that stuff, but we just

1462
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,760
Speaker 1: won't have our all access shows, Mark and I and

1463
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:33,720
Speaker 1: the crew sharing our thoughts about things going on. So

1464
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 1: I got to make sure that we get our playoff

1465
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 1: predictions in order. So giving my music and let's go Saturday,

1466
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 1: two games, both on the AFC. The Raiders will take

1467
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 1: on the Bengals. The Raiders eke into that numbers six spot?

1468
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:58,719
Speaker 1: Am I right about that? No? I'm sorry the five spot.

1469
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:00,720
Speaker 1: I think the Raiders got the five spot because they're

1470
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:02,720
Speaker 1: going to Cincinnati. I think the Bills got the three

1471
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 1: so the Raiders are taken on the Bengals, and I

1472
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:10,439
Speaker 1: know the Raiders won down the stretch. That game they

1473
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:13,599
Speaker 1: want against the Chargers was just ridiculous, man, I mean

1474
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:18,920
Speaker 1: just crazy. But the Bengals rested some starters, a lot

1475
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:20,839
Speaker 1: of starts, a lot of guys, didn't even go to Cleveland.

1476
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 1: They got guys back from COVID. Now getting guys back

1477
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: from COVID the double edged sword there is how much

1478
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: did COVID affect them, even if they got the mild

1479
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:34,000
Speaker 1: symptoms or no symptoms. How much does it affect them?

1480
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:37,800
Speaker 1: That could be an issue. But if Joe Burrows ready

1481
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:39,639
Speaker 1: to roll, and it sounds as if he is, he did.

1482
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 1: He was a little banged up going into it last week.

1483
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:44,599
Speaker 1: He didn't travel to Cleveland. Cleveland got the wind, didn't matter.

1484
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:48,080
Speaker 1: The Bengals are favored by six at home. I think

1485
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:52,600
Speaker 1: this offense if I had to pick a super sneaky

1486
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:55,799
Speaker 1: dark horse in this thing, I would pick the Bengals.

1487
01:19:56,840 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 1: That offense is just so wild. They can hit you

1488
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:03,600
Speaker 1: with Joe Mixon in the run game. They hit you

1489
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:05,760
Speaker 1: with Joe Mixon the past game. They can throw a

1490
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:08,720
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd T Higgins, Jamar Chase. It doesn't matter one

1491
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:10,640
Speaker 1: of those three guys is good. You can't double them all.

1492
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:12,479
Speaker 1: And if you double them all, they're gonna check the

1493
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:15,640
Speaker 1: runs at Joe Mixon. That offense is nuts so and

1494
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:17,599
Speaker 1: I think they're hitting their stride at the right time.

1495
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be very difficult for the Raiders

1496
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:22,120
Speaker 1: to get a win. I think the Bengals will win

1497
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 1: their first playoff game in a very very long time.

1498
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:28,400
Speaker 1: I think the last playoff win for the Bengals was

1499
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:32,120
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one. Maybe I think it was against the Raiders. Two.

1500
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 1: Since he's favored by six, I'm taking the Bengals to

1501
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 1: win and to cover that six. Then later that evening

1502
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, the Patriots and the Bills AFC East Round three.

1503
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 1: Patriots beat the Bills in Buffalo, Bills beat the Patriots

1504
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,040
Speaker 1: in New England, and now they meet up with the

1505
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 1: Bills a four point favorite. Now, I don't think the

1506
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 1: Patriots have played very well. I think Mac Jones has

1507
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:01,040
Speaker 1: not played very well lately. It's the playoff. He's a rookie.

1508
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:03,800
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be more issues for him in

1509
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:06,200
Speaker 1: this game than it might appear. I think the Bills

1510
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:08,559
Speaker 1: are better than the Patriots. I thought that all year long.

1511
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:12,559
Speaker 1: I think the Bills win this game and cover the four.

1512
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 1: Both home teams are gonna win on Saturday, riding the

1513
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:22,600
Speaker 1: home field advantage. All right, let's get the Sunday and

1514
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 1: I look at these games and I think somebody's got

1515
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:28,840
Speaker 1: to win on the road. Is it the Philadelphia Eagles

1516
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:32,639
Speaker 1: going on to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. No, it's not. However,

1517
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:37,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles did play the Buccaneers earlier this season and

1518
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:39,560
Speaker 1: had that thing within six at the end. They just

1519
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 1: couldn't get a stop. But that was in Philadelphia. That

1520
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:44,800
Speaker 1: was on Thursday night. This is gonna be in Tampa

1521
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 1: Bay at noon. That could be a sweltering Tampa Bay.

1522
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:53,720
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles could, boy, I think they could

1523
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:55,640
Speaker 1: melt a little bit. I think Tampa Bay is an

1524
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:58,559
Speaker 1: eight and a half point favorite. I think they win

1525
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:01,040
Speaker 1: this thing thirty five twenty one, win that thing by

1526
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:04,799
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns. I'm really proud of Jalen Hurts

1527
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:09,640
Speaker 1: representing the age represent Channel View. Love it. I just

1528
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 1: think they run out of gas against the Buccaneers. The

1529
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 1: Eagles have got man. Eagles gonna playoffs and have three

1530
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 1: first round picks three. That could be a team to

1531
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:22,679
Speaker 1: watch in the near future. Then in the afternoon on Sunday,

1532
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers go to the Cowboys. Wat's this Cowboys

1533
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:31,800
Speaker 1: fans upset special forty nine Ers and Jimmy Garoppolo going

1534
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:35,519
Speaker 1: to Dallas to beat the twelve and five Cowboys. I'm

1535
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:38,479
Speaker 1: saying it right here, not just because I saw the

1536
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. The way that they played down the stretch,

1537
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 1: now that's the key. They got to play that way

1538
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:46,559
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. They played in second half against the Rams,

1539
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:52,000
Speaker 1: but defense was on lock, the offense was versatile. There

1540
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:55,880
Speaker 1: was duplicity in the offense. Multiplicity. Excuse me, in the

1541
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: offense duplicity? What am I talking about? Multiplicity the offense.

1542
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,640
Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers going and beat the Cowboys straight up.

1543
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:06,519
Speaker 1: Steelers then taking on the Chiefs, No chance, baby, big Ben,

1544
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:09,040
Speaker 1: glad you get to play a final game. The Chiefs

1545
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 1: are going to house them, house them. They're gonna beat

1546
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:17,599
Speaker 1: them by twenty one. It's gonna be thirty five fourteen,

1547
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 1: and they're spreads twelve and a half. So lay the points,

1548
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:25,639
Speaker 1: take the Chiefs. And then Monday night, Oh boy, Cardinals

1549
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 1: taken on the Rams in LA where the Cardinals beat

1550
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 1: the Rams by seventeen earlier in the year, and the

1551
01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 1: Rams play just when you think, yeah, that's the team,

1552
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:41,720
Speaker 1: then they come out and look great in the first

1553
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 1: half against the nine Ers, and then they just yo

1554
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: second half, Like what the hell? I don't trust the

1555
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 1: Rams at all, but the Cardinals are beat up. Yes,

1556
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:56,519
Speaker 1: JJ is gonna be back, apparently for the Cardinals, but

1557
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 1: I don't think Hop's gonna be I think the Rams,

1558
01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:02,360
Speaker 1: favored by four, win this thing by touchdown. This could

1559
01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 1: be a bare knuckle brawl. This could be twenty one,

1560
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:07,840
Speaker 1: twenty seven, twenty something of that magnitude. But I go

1561
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:11,439
Speaker 1: with the Rams to find a way to win. Win

1562
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 1: that thing by seven. It won't be more than seven,

1563
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 1: but it will be more than four. Rams win, Chiefs win,

1564
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:23,720
Speaker 1: Niners win, Bucks win, Bills win, Bengals win. So of

1565
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 1: the six, I've got one road team winning, and that's

1566
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers. If I had to pick another

1567
01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 1: road team to win, I would probably pick the Cardinals.

1568
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:38,200
Speaker 1: The Cardinals would be that team, but that's what I'm

1569
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:45,720
Speaker 1: rolling with. So that will lead to Divisional round matchup

1570
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 1: of the Titans taken on the Bills. Oh wow, Titans

1571
01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 1: taken on the Bills. It's my math right yeah, no, no, no,

1572
01:24:57,240 --> 01:25:00,320
Speaker 1: Titans taking on the Bengals and the Chiefs taking on

1573
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 1: the Bills again. I'm gonna go in an upset. Upset,

1574
01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:09,759
Speaker 1: yes calling it. Bengals beat the Titans, but the Chiefs

1575
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:15,599
Speaker 1: beat the Bills. Bengals taken on Chiefs. Chiefs win yet again.

1576
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: In the AFC. Over in the NFC, it will be

1577
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:25,000
Speaker 1: the let's see the Green Bay Packers will play the

1578
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine Ers. Oh oh oh boy, that

1579
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:32,759
Speaker 1: is going to be wild. That is gonna be wild.

1580
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:35,920
Speaker 1: And then you're gonna have the Buccaneers taken on the

1581
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 1: Rams in Tampa Bay. Go at Tampa Bay to win that.

1582
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:43,959
Speaker 1: Go with the forty nine Ers to upset the Packers

1583
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 1: and the Buccaneers to come out of there. We gonna

1584
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:48,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs Buccaneers yet again. I can't be original of this

1585
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 1: late in the show. Appreciate you guys for being here.

1586
