1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and welcome to the program that brings you

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: inside at RG Stadium as the Texans are getting closer

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: to their matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. It's Texans

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: All Access. I'm your host for tonight, Mark Vandermer, and

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 1: we will take you right up to the Giants and

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: the Patriots and joining us because it's Thursday. It's the General.

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: John McClain from the Houston Chronicle. John, I know you're

8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: looking forward to this one. You gotta be right, Mark.

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: I cannot remember other than the start of regular season,

10
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: which is always exciting, a regular season game that say,

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: was not a chance to clinch the playoffs or division.

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: I've been more excited to see Texans coming off a

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: great game, Deshaun Watson coming off his best game, the

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: way they've thrown it all over the place, going against

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Of course, you'd rather every game here and

16
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: Budd it's up there to see a red a great venue.

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: First time I went up there was nineteen eighty in

18
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: the late Joe Delaney destroyed the Oilers, and I'll never

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: forget because it was the day that the Astros lost

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: to the Phillies after blowing a lead in the ninth

21
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: with Nolan Ryan and following one game short of the

22
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: World Series. That's one that a lot of people forget about.

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: That was a Houston heartbreaking moment that a lot of

24
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: people don't recall when these lists come up. Unfortunately, there

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: have been many, but that was my first trip there.

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: I love going to that stadium. They have a great

27
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: museum they put in when they spent two hundred and

28
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: fifty million on their renovation a few years ago. And

29
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: love the complex with baseball and football next each other,

30
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: and Guess and Watson, my homes are going to throw

31
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: it all over the place. We may have a three

32
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: hour and forty five minute game. Well we'll get into

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: some of the x's and os for just a moment,

34
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: but a little bit more an Arrowhead Stadium and that

35
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: whole vibe there, John, Can you compare it to some

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: other stadiums around the league? Is this to me? This

37
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: is one of the top three maybe as far as

38
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: hostile environments. There's something about the feel of it when

39
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: you're on the field before the game and it's filling up.

40
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: It just you just feel trapped in there almost do

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: you know the last season before Marty Schottenheimer and Carl

42
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: Peterson got there as head coach in general manager in

43
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: eighty nine. I believe they averaged nineteen thousand. Things had

44
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: gone so far down for the Chiefs organization and it

45
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: was amazing how bad it had gotten. And then Lamar

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 1: Hunt hired Peterson. Peterson hired Schottenheimer, who had just been

47
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: fired after losing a playoff game at home to the Oilers.

48
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: And the rest is Chief's history. They turned it into

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: one of the model franchises with the great venue, seventy

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: five thousand seats. The stadium's fabulous, you know, one of

51
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: the things, and you know from being there it goes

52
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: straight up, it doesn't go back, and it's like in

53
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: the upper decks you can look down and you're right

54
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: over the field. I know that's an exaggeration, but I

55
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: think that makes it more even noisier. Yeah, And a

56
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: player like Bradley Roby, who's played there every year since

57
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: he's been in the NFL, did a great job against

58
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill last year. By the way, he'll be used

59
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: to and he knows it better than anybody. And it's

60
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: going to be exciting. Was it the last time we

61
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: were there? And I can't remember was that when case

62
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: Keenam made his first start down passes right off the bat.

63
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: This is only the third visit for the Texans to

64
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: Arrowhead Stadium regular season. We played there if some in

65
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: the preseason, but there's a big difference between preseason Casey.

66
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: In fact, I wrote this line that comparing the preseason

67
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: environment there to the regular season it is like comparing

68
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: my kids swing set to Disney World. I mean, it

69
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: is a completely different situation. And it was twenty thirteen.

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: Keenham lost by a point. Good first half, maybe into

71
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: the third quarter, than real shaky fourth quarter. Look, it

72
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: was his first start and they were starting to come

73
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: after him. But I remember that well. And the other

74
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: one was in two thousand and four. Texans avoided a

75
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: three start Marcus Coleman coast to coast pick six, Chris

76
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: Brown laid field goal. You beat the Chiefs. It was

77
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: nice last time they played. Texans lost their two best

78
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: pass rushers this season for the season. J J. Watt

79
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: with a leg when he merciless biceps. Remember that game

80
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: to Shaun Watson threw five touchdown passes. They lost by eight.

81
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: Alex Smith had an incredible game as he tended to

82
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: do against the Texans, but that was monumental from a

83
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: negative fashion because losing Watton merciless and right now those

84
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: guys have nine sacks and they're going against I'm not

85
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: gonna say Patrick Mahomes is immobile. He's not, but he

86
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: got a high ankle spring and they had line trouble

87
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: as their left tackle Eric Fisher's out. I saw some

88
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: stats about what he did against the Colts before and

89
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: after the spring, and I saw a ground level shot

90
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: of what happened to him. It made me cringe because

91
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: if it had been planted and somebody's foot hit it hard,

92
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: might have broken it. As it was, it just bent

93
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: it in. Fortunately didn't have his full weight on it.

94
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,119
Speaker 1: But I watched him throw for like fifteen hundred yards

95
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: in one game against Baylor, and I've been fascinated with

96
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: my Homes. Have written a lot this week about him

97
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: and Watson. Aaron Wilson's got a big thing going Sunday

98
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: about them being the best examples of the modernization of

99
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: passing games in the NFL. But my Homes, you know,

100
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: the Texans had both of them here, And I wrote

101
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: a column today about what Andy Reid thought scouting quarterbacks

102
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, what he thought about Watson, what Bill

103
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: O'Brien thought about my homes, and what they thought about

104
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: their own guy, and what they thought about Mitchell Trubisky,

105
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: who went way earlier to the Chicago I didn't ask

106
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: him about Trubisky. They will be haunted in Chicago, taking

107
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: him trade up with San Francisco to get him and

108
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: then passing up both those guys. But you know what

109
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: they all have in common in their second year. They

110
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: all won divisions and went to the playoffs in their

111
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: second year. It's nice. Second year, It is nice, and

112
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: look they're looking like they're headed there again. But let's

113
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: just see what happens. Obviously, Trubisky's recovering from an injury

114
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: right now. Mahomes was fortunate to get drafted by Andy Reid,

115
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: who traded up from twenty seven to get him at ten,

116
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: and he had Alex Smith. He got to spend a

117
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: year watching and learning under Alex Smith, who had a

118
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: really good year, but he didn't have a touchdown pass

119
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: when he started the last game, but Reid saw enough

120
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: to trade Smith to Washington elevate him. It's one of

121
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: the greatest decisions in history, because he had the greatest

122
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: season in history for a guy starting for the first time,

123
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: and plus he's a really good kid like Watson. You know,

124
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: if I'm the NFL, I want these two guys to

125
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: be representative of league. I can imagine the corporations that

126
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: are lining up to get Watson and Mahomes to represent

127
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: their product. John Andy Reid his legacy. You brought up

128
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: Marty Schottenheimer and he was a guy who won a

129
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: lot of games, but in the postseason was not able

130
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: to get it going. Now Andy Reid's done better in

131
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: the postseason, but he's got to a Super Bowl. He

132
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: went to five NFC Championship games, one AFC Championship game.

133
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: How do you think he gets remembered if he doesn't

134
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: get back to the Super Bowl as a head coach.

135
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: You know another guy who's not in the Hall of

136
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: Fame went to nine Super Bowls, Dan Reeves. Dan Reeves

137
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: went as a as a player, an assistant coach, a

138
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: head coach, and a general manager. But we haven't put

139
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: him in there for whatever reason. And Schottenheimer was a

140
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: great regular season coach. Andy Reid I really like him

141
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: a lot. I respect him. One of the things I

142
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: asked him about was the evolution of quarterbacks based on

143
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: all the ones he's coached. Are been around, going back

144
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: to Brett far in Green Bay before he went to Philadelphia,

145
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: and he kind of embraced the college concepts when he

146
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: was ready to elevate my homes And I talked to

147
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: him about that. He said it didn't bother him that

148
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: Mahomes was running all over the place at Texas Tech

149
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: and completing passes like it freaks out a lot of people.

150
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: You know, they got air raid. It's like the Raid

151
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: commercial in your roach. He said. He didn't say I

152
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: embraced it, but that's what he meant. And they did

153
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: such a tremendous job last year of coaching him of

154
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: giving him freedom. It's kind of job Bill O'Brien and

155
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: Tim Kelly and Carl Smith are doing this year with Watson.

156
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: It is just so much fun to watch those guys. John,

157
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: what do you think of the game plan this week?

158
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: You think more running the football, Like Bill O'Brian's always

159
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: going to try to run the football. If he's not

160
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: running the football, it's because the lanes aren't there. It's

161
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: just not happening that particular day, or they've fallen behind

162
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, they will try to run the rock.

163
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: But I guess the question is how many times are

164
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: they gonna put it up on Sunday Row. Let me

165
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: ask you this, The worst run defense they've played against

166
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: was the Chargers, who played the best run defense. It's

167
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: a weird game. So everybody sees what Marlon Mack and

168
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: the Colts the random ball, what the Patriots did in

169
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: the playoff game random ball control the clock. But taking

170
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: a ball out of j. Kobe Brisette's hands for Marlon

171
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: Mack's not that hard to see. But do you take

172
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: it out of Watson's hands and I'll put it on

173
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: the legs of Carlos Hide and Duke Johnson. I don't

174
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: think so. I think you used the pass to set

175
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: up the run like they did last week. You let

176
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: Watson run a little bit when he has to. They

177
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: had one hundred and sixty six yards or tenth and

178
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: rushing Chiefs or twenty fifth against the run. But I

179
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: will if I'm the Texans, I'm gonna sink or swim

180
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: with Watson. YEA not a bad way to sink or swim,

181
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: for sure. The Chiefs running game will be shut down.

182
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: Other than the New Orleans game, over the last four

183
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: Texas has been great against the run. People are like,

184
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: man Christian McCaffrey killed him, No he didn't. He average

185
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: three yards to carry. He heard him receiving. But the

186
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: running game has been tremendous like it was last year

187
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: except for the Colts playoff game, and once the Saints

188
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: had that one eighty, they've done great. So I do

189
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: not expect the Chiefs to run. Think it's gonna all

190
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: be on Mahomes. I think they will have a plan

191
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: that bounces back from the Colts and they will be

192
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: able to contain hide in Johnson and this game is

193
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: gonna be where it should be, on the right arms

194
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: of Mahomes and Watson. Well let's see how that shakes

195
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: out john Because with Mahomes, I'm really wondering. I know

196
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: he was full practice, but I'm wondering how healthy he

197
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: really is and how much he can move around here.

198
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: Is he more of a pocket passer now? Does he

199
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: get to the outside as easily? And are their opportunities

200
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: to get to him in the pocket. I think that

201
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: when he flushed and he runs around and makes those

202
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: plays down the field, he won't be as fast because

203
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: he's I went back and looked up the combine times

204
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: for him and Watson. They weren't really they didn't blow

205
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: everybody away with their combined forty times. But they're fast

206
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: enough and when people are chasing him they get they're

207
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: fast enough to get rid of the ball. So I

208
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: would imagine if say Whitney Mercills comes off the right

209
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: side and my Homes is flushed and he's rolling to

210
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: the right, that he's not going to be as fast

211
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: and as lusive as he was. And but I don't

212
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: see him just standing in the pocket a lot, a little,

213
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: not a lot. He'll try to get outside for sure,

214
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: And I think, yeah, they might not be the fastest,

215
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: both quarterbacks, but they're quick. They're quick, and they can

216
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: throw on the run. They can make decisions. Do you

217
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: know who the top two teams in the league are

218
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: thirty plus completions Chiefs and Texans YEP, Chiefs sixteen, Texans fourteen.

219
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: What about the quarterback rating stat Did you see that

220
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: after Watson's second to Russell Wilson, my Home is third.

221
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: They let them touchdowns each, Watson one interception, Mahome's none,

222
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: Watson's on a pace for thirty five to thirty six

223
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns and three point two interceptions this season, and but

224
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: throwing the ball down the field. Kenny Stills didn't even

225
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: play in that game. He may not play in this game.

226
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: And Kekqt steps up has a fifty one yard catch,

227
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: so they are getting the ball down the field. And

228
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: one of the things I wrote about this for Tuesday

229
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: or Wednesday must have been Tuesday. According the next NFL

230
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: Next Generation stats, Watson got rid of the ball quicker

231
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: point four to six seconds than he has all season.

232
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: In the first four games, he was among the fourth

233
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: slowest getting rid of the ball. A lot of that

234
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: has to do because he'd run around. But in this game,

235
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: ball came out and faster than it ever has and

236
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: it was so crisp, so decisive and then accurate. Wouldn't

237
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: like the game before we're over the fuller Hopkins when

238
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: they were open deep. Well, we'll see how he handles

239
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: it on Sunday. He's coming off a sensational performance AFC

240
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Week. All right, coming up on

241
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. Let's go around the league. So the

242
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: other action in the division. The Colts have a buy,

243
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: So they're just waiting for the Texans. Now they have

244
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: a buy after their win over the Chiefs. The opening

245
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: segment with John McLean is one gigantic hot read presented

246
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: by Geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or

247
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: more on car insurance Geico dot com. It's Texans Radio.

248
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: The General is visiting General in the House to night,

249
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: John McClain, Texans All Access. And we've got the Patriots

250
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: and Giants coming up at seven o'clock tonight on Thursday

251
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: Night Football t NF. And before we get back to

252
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: some Texans stuff and some more relevant stuff to the Texans,

253
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: although the Patriots are always relevant in the AFC, and

254
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: yes they will be here December first, they will host

255
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, and John, I know the schedules

256
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: predetermined all but two games. I can name the schedule

257
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: in twenty seventy four if you ask me to other

258
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: than two opponents, if they keep the current format. So

259
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: here are the Patriots hosting the Giants who are depleted.

260
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: No shot for the Giants tonight. Patriots with a ridiculously

261
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: easy schedule. And I think that Bill Belichick does not

262
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: like this to have the games this front loaded. As

263
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: far as layups go, it doesn't matter. They still get

264
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: to play Dallas, Philadelphia and Kansas City and Dallas. But

265
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: it is unbelievably easy. And you know, the only team

266
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: they played with a winning record was Buffalo, and they

267
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: beat him Buffalo Corps four and one, one of the

268
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: biggest prizes in the league. But it's uh, Brady's gonna

269
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: spank Daniel Jones. I saw a stad today under Belichick

270
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: and Brady quarterbacks like under twenty five or twenty seven

271
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: at Foxborough. Oh my gosh, they've got so many like that. Yep. Look,

272
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: the best staff with the Patriots is Brady Belichick era.

273
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: Everybody else in the FC East is below five hundred,

274
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: below five hundred. This is what you're dealing with. I

275
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: bet you you could have a stat quarterbacks thirty and

276
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: under under since Brady and Belichick have been there. They

277
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: probably lost. They may have beaten a few of them, Yeah,

278
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: but that's lopsided. They wren over eighty percent of their

279
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: games since those two became an item. You know, Brady

280
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: missed that two thousand and eight season, right, they were

281
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: eleven and five, and they were eleven in five, So

282
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: good for them. They had Matt Castle, but you look

283
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: at what's happening now. Roethlisberger after the year manning benched

284
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: Rivers hanging in there. That's class of O four. Brady

285
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: is class of V one and he's still going strong.

286
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: It is ridiculous. When will it end? TB twelve? Yeah,

287
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: Tom versus Time and he's winning right now. He might

288
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: actually win this battle. He'll be the first ever to

289
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: defeat Father Time. He's immortal. Yeah, could be all right,

290
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: So Patriots giants tonight we talked about that. Daniel Jones.

291
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: Good for him, trying to play well in his inaugural

292
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: Sea in New York. All Right, The Titans are gonna

293
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: be at the Broncos. It's a real jekylin Hide girl

294
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: with the curl kind of team Tennessee. They take it

295
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: to Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. Last week at

296
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: home to Buffalo not so much just seven points on

297
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: the board. What do you think is they visit the Broncos.

298
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: They lose when they're supposed to win, and they win

299
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: when they're supposed to lose. The Broncos just got their

300
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: first victory. They're supposed to win, So I think the

301
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: Titans will win, and two weeks ago, Mariota threw three

302
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: touchdown passes in the first half at Atlanta they won

303
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: twenty four to ten, and then he stunk it up

304
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: at home against the Bills. So that means he's gonna

305
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: have a good game against Joe Flacco. Well, let me

306
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: ask you this about Buffalo. How good are they? John,

307
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: because yeah, they lost a close one with the Patriots,

308
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: relatively Josh Allen got knocked out of the game, and

309
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots could be really, really good. We really don't

310
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: know how good the Patriots are this year. We assume

311
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: they're good, but they've been beating up on bad teams.

312
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: It was a closer game against the Bills. They played

313
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: some good defense in that one. How good is Buffalo?

314
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: You're not gonna win many games scoring fourteen points like

315
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: they did in Nashville. They against a decent offense. They

316
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: would have lost that game. I'm not buying into the

317
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: Bills right now, all right, not buying in the general.

318
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: John McClean. Okay, elsewhere, the Jags are gonna host the Saints.

319
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater goes to North Florida. The Jags are coming

320
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: off the loss to the Panthers, minshew. Look, it's not

321
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: like the magic is completely run out here. That was

322
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: a tough one. I think Carolina could be pretty good.

323
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: We'll get to them in a moment. What do you

324
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: think of the Saints at the Jags? The Mustache played great.

325
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: Now he's got to protect the ball in a pocket.

326
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: He's getting he's getting strip sacked too much. But he's

327
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: played great. They're gonna have a tough decision when falls

328
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,239
Speaker 1: comes back. Everybody loves the guy now Bridgewaters three and zero.

329
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: Saints are really good, playing great defense. But if they

330
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: lose to the Mustache man, oh man, it'll be Mentumnia

331
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: And I think I picked the Saints. I'm not gonna

332
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: pick against the team's one, three and oh with a

333
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: backup quarterback, But it wouldn't surprise me if the Jaguars

334
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: don't beat them. Jalen Ramsey's supposed to play after a

335
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: heart to heart with owner Shod Khan. How surprised were

336
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: you that Ramsey was in Houston instead of Carolina with

337
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: his team last week. Well, we got a lot of

338
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: great doctors here. He went to the medical center to

339
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: check it, to get examined by one and now he'll

340
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: be playing in this game according to the owner, Well,

341
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: that explains a lot of things. Okay, Brown's hosting the

342
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: Seahawks Cleveland coming off the debacle loss on myn Today football.

343
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: Seattle's a very good team. They did lose to the

344
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: Saints at home with Teddy Bridgewater, but that's looking less

345
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: like a bad thing. So what do you think? I

346
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: think Russell Wilson should be the MVP if a vote

347
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: was taking a day. He's off to the best start

348
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: of his career. And Baker Mayfield when he shakes his hands,

349
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: needs to make sure all the cameras see it from

350
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: every end angle. And I think the Seahawks are gonna win.

351
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: But the Browns are so up and down they could

352
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: they could bounce back. But on the other hand, mark

353
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens, every time I look at him, I don't

354
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: think head coach. I think fishing guy. So you're not

355
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: feeling the Freddy Kitchens vibe. No, why did Greg Williams

356
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: not get that job? Because he's not the one that

357
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: made Mayfield have the best rookie season of any quarterback

358
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: when it came touchdown passes. People keep Kitchens as the

359
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: OC and make Greg Williams, I mean the head coach.

360
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: I don't think it's ever gonna be Greg Williams. Greg

361
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: angered too many people. The key was to go somewhere

362
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: to body else. I wonder if Baker Mayfield went to

363
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: the Hazlems or John Dorsey and says, I want Freddy

364
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: Kitchens to be our head coach. Oh, yeah, it's backfired

365
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: so far because he has not impressed anybody with his coaching. Well,

366
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: it's not working out so far, and it's not working

367
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: out with Mayfield either. This year, the guy played great.

368
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: Remember how bad he was in the first half against

369
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: the Texans, and he just exploded for almost four yards

370
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: in the second half, and they almost got to the

371
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: playoffs with Kitchen calling the plays. And that's what you know.

372
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: I don't even know the defensive Oh is Mike Petting

373
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinators green Bay? He's at Green Bay. He

374
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: already got fired. I can't even remember who the defensive

375
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: coordinator is in Cleveland. But right now, Freddy Kitchens just

376
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: does not come across as a head coach. And if

377
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: he doesn't in front of us, I'm pretty sure he

378
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: probably doesn't behind the scenes either. All Right, next game,

379
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna host the Bengals. I don't care

380
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: about the back. They're horrible. They've become the new Browns actually,

381
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: but the Ravens. You might as well give them that

382
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: division right now. It feels that way anyway. But one

383
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: of the losses is to you know who? Yeah, I know,

384
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: but I just yes they should. Steelers are down to

385
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: their third quarterback and I never even heard of the guy.

386
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: The Bengals, I'm guessing this will be Andy Dalton's last

387
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: year and they'll go for one of the young guys.

388
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: What if Miami beats Washington in Miami, that would take

389
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: the Dolphins out of having the top pick, because Washington

390
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: is awful, but the Bengals are awful too, just not

391
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: as awful. I was gonna go to that one, actually,

392
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: because I find this in tregue game, when you have

393
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: two winless teams going at it this deep into the season,

394
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: and the Redskins aren't taking for Tua because they just

395
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: drafted Haskins, although maybe they don't like Haskins to that degree.

396
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: Now the Dolphins are taking for Tua allegedly, and I'm

397
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: wondering who's gonna win this one. They've settled on Josh

398
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: Rosen as the quarterback. And now you didn't think, well,

399
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: maybe Washington's gonna get a little bump with Bill Callahan.

400
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: I mean he shut down the music and he started

401
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: working more on conditioning and he's gone back to Case Kingdom.

402
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: But the Dolphins at home, they're gonna win a game.

403
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: This will be it. The players aren't taking they're giving

404
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: everything they got. Brian Flores is not tanking. I picked

405
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: in the chronicle. I picked the Dolphins to win this one,

406
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: all right. Cowboys at the Jets. Darnald is back and

407
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are in desperate need of a victory. They'll

408
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: get it. The Jets are terrible too, but they had

409
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: a good excuse. They didn't have Sam Darnold because because

410
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: Mono And to me, if you're gonna be bad, go

411
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: ahead and be all the way bad. If he got

412
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: a quarterback, maybe you work at trade and pick up

413
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: some extra picks, or you get an impact player. Fans

414
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: understand this situation. That's why I would not have fired

415
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: Jay Gruden. I would have kept him and just you know,

416
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: compete for the top pick. Steelers at the Chargers, you

417
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: mentioned the mystery guest at quarterback for the Steelers. Chargers

418
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: with Philip Rivers. That's a great way to put it.

419
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: And you have the AFC West. Can you name the

420
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: mystery guest? Yeah, it's Mason Rodolph's back up. And you

421
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: have the Raiders with a buy because they just beat

422
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: the Bears in London. How surprised are you that the

423
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: Raiders are playing pretty well so far? Beat the Colts

424
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: on their way to London, took off from Indian went

425
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: to London, beat the Bears. I heard John Gruden say,

426
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: you cannot come over here on short notice like a

427
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: lot of teams do, and do what needs to be done.

428
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: And so he said. One of the differences was the

429
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: Bears treated like a regular game and the Colts. I

430
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: mean the Raiders came on over. They've won two in

431
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: a row. When I looked at the schedule before the season,

432
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: I said, well there's a win. If the Texans could

433
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: just be three and four, they're gonna beat They're gonna

434
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: beat the Raiders. And now the Raiders look pretty good.

435
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: That is no easy pickings right there. To take out

436
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders at this stadium, I don't care where you

437
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: play them. Well kind of team are the Vikings? I

438
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: can't figure them out? The Eagles will visit there, and

439
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's really ready to figure the

440
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: Eagles out either. Your thoughts on that matchup? I picked

441
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: Philadelphia because I don't see Kirk Cousins having back to

442
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: back great games. Dalvin Cook's been really good as a runner.

443
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: Gary Kubiaks brought balance there, but the receivers are not

444
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: happy about it. They want the ball. Is it about

445
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: the receivers that makes him such divas? You know it's

446
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: a lonely world out there. I mean, they say cornerbacks

447
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: are on an island, but the receivers have to visit

448
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: that island and make plays. I don't know. They're the

449
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: best athletes allegedly along with the corners that I say

450
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: allegedly enough this segment, but you get my drift here.

451
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: I see it. I understand it. Once again. I thought

452
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: last week when I saw Adam Feeland complained and then

453
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: I saw Stefan Diggs gets fine too in her grand

454
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: not showing up because they're not getting the ball enough.

455
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: Once again, it made me thankful that I get to

456
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: cover DeAndre Hopkins. He may be upset sometimes when he

457
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: can't get the ball, but he keeps a lid on

458
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: it because he's a professional. One note on him, I'm

459
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: impressed with how physical he's gotten. I think more and

460
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: more every year he gets more physical. He takes people

461
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: with him, he takes a beating, he continues to make

462
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: plays despite all the coverage, all the attention, all the hitting.

463
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: I'm guessing with Will Fuller having that career game that

464
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have to worry about Fuller more. They can't

465
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: have three guys going after Hopkins every time he runs

466
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: across the field. So I look for deandren't even though

467
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: he had seven catches for eighty eight yards. I look

468
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: for him to have a big one here because I

469
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: think there'll be more people on Fuller. What do you

470
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: have going on to the Chronicle, John, I have a

471
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: column about the tight ends. The Texans tight ends had

472
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: more touchdowns and any group tight ends in the league.

473
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,719
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey did not. He's going up against de Shaun Gibson.

474
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: Gibson had great games against Gronk and Urts last season.

475
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: Both of them burned the Texans and Aaron Wilson's got

476
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: a thing on the quarterbacks for Sunday. Thank you very much.

477
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: As always, By the way, if I told you after

478
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: the draft, just right after the draft, the Texans tight

479
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: end group would have more touchdowns than any tight end

480
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: position group in the league. You would have thought automatically,

481
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: all Wearings having a great rookie year and Jordan Thomas

482
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: is going nuts because he had four TD catches last year.

483
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: Those two guys are not even playing yet. I would

484
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: have thought you were nuts. I thought your nuts when

485
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: you did keep four, and they did. Right now, Fills

486
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: and Aikins have five on nineteen catches. Fuller and Hopkins

487
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: have five on I think there anywhere about fifty something catches. Interesting,

488
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: Thank you, general, Thank you Mark. John mcclaim from the

489
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: Houston Chronicle. Hey, if the Texans score two or more touchdowns,

490
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: head to your closest Jack in the box the next

491
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: day for your free Texans jumbo jack. Like Will Fuller

492
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: with a large drink purchase. Fuller at three last week,

493
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: so he took care of you. Jack in the box

494
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: coming up, John Harris, will play more likely to happen.

495
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: Questions include stats regarding the Texans and the Chiefs, and

496
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: an MVP question. My goodness, it's Texans Radio keeping you company.

497
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: Thursday evening. Texans Radio here from the Hunday Texans Radio studio.

498
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: And right now, my buddy John Harris climbs into the

499
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: broadcast booth, which isn't really a booth, it's a studio, right, Yeah,

500
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: So anyway, trying to you know, paint a dramatic picture here. Anyway, Johnny,

501
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: we are here to play a game we call more

502
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: likely to happen, more likely to happen. And in this game,

503
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: I get of you a scenario which one is more

504
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: likely to happen, and we discuss and debate. Okay, are

505
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: you are you ready to go first? One? Let's hear

506
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: from our spokesperson again, more likely to happen, Watson named

507
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: MVP or Whitney, Merciless named All Pro, which is more

508
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 1: likely to happen. Watson the MVP, Whitney and All Pro.

509
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: And don't ask me why I did it this way.

510
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 1: I just thought it would be kind of cool to debate,

511
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: you know, either one of these things. I think Watson.

512
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: I think Watson has a better chance just because quarterback's

513
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of he's gonna I mean, it's

514
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: to be the league. MVP is obviously tough, but he's

515
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: gonna have opportunities against big quarterbacks. He's obviously gonna face

516
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: Mahomes this week, gonna face Tom Brady down the road.

517
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: I think for Whitney and I think Watson's in the

518
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: two years prior, he's done enough to kind of gather

519
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: the media's attention. I would almost guarantee you that if

520
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: you ask some NFL media like Whitney merciless, they'd be like,

521
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: he's a Texan, right. I think there would be some

522
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: of that, which is unfortunate because you got some big

523
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: games coming up too for him, facing those same quarterbacks

524
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: for Whitney. So and he had a good Mond tonight debut.

525
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't I don't disagree with you. I just feel

526
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: like the momentum for Deshaun if he's able to continue

527
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: to capitalize off what he did last week. He said

528
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: two AFC Offensive Player of the Week awards already two

529
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 1: in the first five weeks. Yeah, forty percent of them

530
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: have gone too Deshaun Watson. He does that once or

531
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: twice more, He's got a good shot. It's a great

532
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: that's a great show. Obviously, this week is gonna be

533
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: huge exactly. That's this is a this is a big week,

534
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: and they could sort of help each other Whitney merciless

535
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: goes and gets a couple of sacks of Patrick Mahomes

536
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: and DeShawn Watson points in the end zones and the

537
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: Texans win a game. That's gonna look good for both

538
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: of them. But I would probably say Deshaun. I think

539
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: there's a I think there's a good chance that Whitney

540
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: stays at the pace he is at that he will

541
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to be All Pro. But definitely Pro Bowl.

542
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: Definitely All Pro is kind of a different beast. The

543
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: way that they look at that, it's a little different

544
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: than Pro Bowl. And I do think just watching edge

545
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: guys around the league, I think they're Von Miller hasn't

546
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: had a tremendous here, Bradley Chubb has been banged up

547
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: and injured, so he's got an opportunity. But then you

548
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: got other guys like Shaq Barrett who's got eight sacks already. Yeah,

549
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: so you get a cool off, you'd sort of hope.

550
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: So it's still early. It's early, but I would say

551
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: Watson in that scenario, Okay, let's get to the next one.

552
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: More likely to happen. Chiefs one hundred rushing yards, Texans

553
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: three hundred fifty passing yards more likely to happen the

554
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs get to a one hundred rushing yard mark or

555
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: the Texans throw it for a three fifty plus. Now

556
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: I could see the Chiefs getting to one hundred. They

557
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: just they pop one for forty fifty yards, or maybe

558
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: it's Mahomes. Mahomes has a scramble for twenty five thirty yards.

559
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: He had one of those long scrambles, and that inflates

560
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: the total, and that inflates it total. I still don't

561
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: think they're gonna get to a hundred. They're banged up

562
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: on that offensive front. Wiley missed again, so they're probably

563
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: gonna go with Ryan Hunter at guard again and he

564
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: did not have a great game against the Colts. I

565
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: in just overall, and Mark I said this last night.

566
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: I was watching the AFC Championship game, and if you

567
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: look at the Chiefs five guys up front, two two

568
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: of them are the same, but they're not in the

569
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: same spot. The only guy it's in the same spot

570
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: as Mitchell Schwartz. Cam Irving is playing left tackle right now,

571
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 1: but he was playing left guard because they had Eric Fisher. Well.

572
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: Fisher has been out of the last few practices and

573
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: they don't expect him back, So I don't know how

574
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are going to run for a hundred yards

575
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: against this front. If everybody is healthy going into this one,

576
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: which hopefully they are, but they got another couple of

577
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: days of practices. Don't know what happens, but it's they healthy,

578
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't see the Chiefs doing it. So I absolutely

579
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: will say the Texans going for three fifty next one.

580
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: All Right, Washington or Miami, which team will win there first?

581
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: This weekend as they play each other, Washington Washington. I

582
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: think Washington's a mess. They're gonna get a pop here

583
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: from the Callahan's It could be a dead cat bounce, yes,

584
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: but it's enough to get a victory this week. It's

585
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: not really about Bill Kahan as much as I just

586
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: don't think Miami hasn't players other than Xavian Howard. I

587
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: don't think Miami's got any talent left. So from that perspective,

588
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: I feel like Washington defensively has some guys that could

589
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: play a little bit. I mean the added Landing Collins

590
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: in the offseason. They've got some of the the Alabama

591
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: guys on defense. On the front, they should be pretty

592
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: good defensively, and going against Josh Rosen and company, they

593
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: should be able to stop. I would say Washington, I

594
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: don't know who's gonna play quarterback. I have no clue.

595
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: I guess maybe Colts. I don't know. They're gonna to

596
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: bite the bullet at some point and figure out what

597
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: they've gotten. Haskins or upper management is gonna have to say,

598
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: play the young guy and let's see what we got.

599
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: It's not fair, but then again, what is so? I

600
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: would say Washington gets if the season is lost, then

601
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: why not play them? Although I did have some inside

602
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: information that it was not going according to plan so

603
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: far with Haskins, even before he made that debut. So

604
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: it's time to, you know, get more development and everything.

605
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: I don't think you throw out the baby with the

606
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: bathwater here with him, but it might be too early.

607
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,719
Speaker 1: You know, we've kind of gotten spoiled with a lot

608
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: of guys jumping right in and producing, and sometimes it

609
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: does take a little longer, all right, staying along those

610
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: dolphin lines a little bit here, more likely to happen. Now.

611
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: I could have made this easy, but I won't. More

612
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: likely to happen. The Patriots fourteen and two or Miami

613
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,719
Speaker 1: two and fourteen more likely to happen, because if I

614
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: said one in fifteen, fifteen and one, the answer would

615
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: be the Dolphins because they're gonna get one, right, they

616
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: gotta get one somehow, and the Patriots they're gonna lose

617
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: a couple, right, Although here we are five games in,

618
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: So what do you think I think more likely to

619
00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: happen in the Dolphins two and fourteen? Really, but then again,

620
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: I got it. I'd have took I know, that's the thing.

621
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: I gotta as soon they're gonna wait twice. That's a

622
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: big especially when you're right. I changed my answer. I

623
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: put Patriots fourteen and two. Now the Patriots have played

624
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: this is okay. I've heard so much about this, and

625
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: I've listened to Patriots fans get all hot and bothered

626
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: about it. They're like, well, they know the AFC East

627
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: is such a weak division, has been a weak division

628
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: for the most part overall, and the Patriots like, it's

629
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: not look at the records of this thing. Look, let's

630
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: be honest. The FC East has been a cakewalk for

631
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: the most part throughout the Belichick Brady era. The schedule

632
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: of the Patriots have played this year. Look, it's not

633
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots fault. It's just one of those years. They

634
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: have five wins at five and oh they've played three

635
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: teams that are winless, Yeah, winless. Yeah, look what they

636
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: get tonight And one of the other wins was against

637
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers one in four. Yeah. Then tonight on a

638
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: third day night, they're playing a Giants team that are

639
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: starting a rookie at quarterback. No se Quon Barkley, no

640
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: Sterling Shephard, no evid Ingram the three other weapons that

641
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: they have offensively, which one year ago, nearly probably to

642
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: the day, when they played the Colts last year, the

643
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: Colts had like fifteen guys out. Yeah, they didn't have

644
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: to put out a forty seven or forty six man

645
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: roster in game day because that's all they had. The

646
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: Patriots have. No, the Patriots will have some tougher games.

647
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: I would think they're gonna play the Chiefs, They're gonna

648
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: play us, They're gonna play some tougher games. But don't

649
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: you think that belly Cowboys and Eagles. Don't you think

650
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: that Belichick does the Cowboys. Don't you think that Belichick

651
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: does not like this? He'd rather have some tough early.

652
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: One think he wants to get the losses out of

653
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: the way early and then let his team peeking pass Thanksgiving. Well,

654
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: guess what's after Thanksgiving here? Baby? Yeah, well gets some

655
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: The scary part, I would think is, and he's always said,

656
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: you know what kind of team you have a Thanksgiving?

657
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: You may not if you keep playing that schedule, you

658
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: may not. You may not be tested at that point.

659
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: You may not know what you have. Last year going

660
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving, they played the Chiefs, they played US, they

661
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: played the Packers. They played a lot of teams before

662
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving last year. This year probably won't be that way.

663
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: But that said, I'll go fourteen and two of the

664
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: Patriots and then a first round exit. All right, can

665
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: I thank you? Can I throw and not a win here? Please?

666
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: Can I throw? In an entertainment question? Happened? Let's do

667
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: that to happen? More likely to be a better movie

668
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: The Sopranos prequel or Breaking Bad, which comes out tomorrow

669
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 1: called El Camino the sequel to Breaking Bad. So it's

670
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,919
Speaker 1: a sequel movie on Netflix versus the soprano prequel, which

671
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: is gonna be better. Johnny, I think the Sopranos, and

672
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: here's why, because as much as I love Jesse Pinkman,

673
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: Breaking Bad was about Walter White. Yeah, it's about Walter White,

674
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: but you know what if the right people are involved. Like,

675
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: Better Call Saul is a pretty good show once they

676
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: got through the original character development. Couple of seasons. My gosh,

677
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: couldn't have sped the up. Season three got pretty good. No,

678
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: Better Call Saul is very very good. And but I

679
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: but I see it as a different series. This is

680
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: Breaking Bad. When I say Breaking bade the time one

681
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 1: of the all time great Heisenberg. Yeah, you think about Heisenberg.

682
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: So there's no Heisenberg. So I'm curious to see how

683
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: it goes. But the villains make it great too. However,

684
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: they're dead, right, is everybody dead? I think so? I

685
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: mean Mike was dead. Mike was dead, Gus was definitely.

686
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: All the guys from Mexico are dead. There's got to

687
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: be a relatively The twins, aren't they gone? Yeah, the

688
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: twins are dead. There they both they're they're both dead.

689
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: They have to be Better Call sauls wilder because you

690
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: see they killed both the twins. Oh, I think you're right. Yeah,

691
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: I forget what happened. You know, I could that, to

692
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: me is one of the greatest scenes of any cinema

693
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: when they're in the van or they're in the r

694
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: V and the twins are coming on, but Hank knows

695
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: it's them, or think he's like honing in on the

696
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: RV and he calls him and sends him to the

697
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: hospital saying that his wife is there. Oh man, that's

698
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: one of the great scenes. I think the Sopranos though,

699
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: because you get to see Tony before he was Tony

700
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 1: and like what led to him being Tony. You're getting

701
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: the main character the Sopranos. I'm looking forward to both.

702
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 1: By the way, I get full credit for this idea.

703
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: I always thought they should do a prequel with Tony

704
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: as a kid. I think it would be I knew

705
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 1: it was gonna be a It's gonna be really, really good.

706
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: It will be a hit, Johnny, Thank you very much.

707
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: Mark my buddy John Harris. He will host the show

708
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: tomorrow and tomorrow we have JJ watt on in the

Speaker 1: And it's always fun, all right, Maybe not fun, it's educational.

719
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's fun, but I know it's gonna be fun

720
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: with doctor Jamie Alexander of Houston Methodist. Doctor, how's it

721
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: going good? How are you doing well? All right? Wrist injuries,

722
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: that's the topic du jour, And tell me first, is

723
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: this a very common thing? I gotta think people when

724
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: they break their fall for whatever reason, athletes are not

725
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: suffer wrist injuries. So you probably deal with people from

726
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: all walks of life, definitely. So yeah, it is a

727
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: pretty common injury. People usually fall with their arm out

728
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: and they'll either have a sprain or a strain or

729
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: maybe even a fracture of their risks. What are the

730
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: most common types of wrist injuries? Breaks? Sprains? Give me

731
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: a little outline of how this works. Well, I definitely

732
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: see a lot of risk fractures, and that's usually a

733
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: patient population where they're a little bit older or they

734
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: don't have a strong bones. But you can also see

735
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: them the younger patients as well with a high mechanism

736
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: of injury. But you can also get sprains, whether it

737
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: be related to sports and kind of hyper extending their

738
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: risks or straining their risks in an awkward position. So

739
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: the alna and the radius I remember for this from school,

740
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: actually which bone is more commonly injured in most wrist injuries.

741
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: Most times it's the radius that's broken, and most people

742
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: when they have that injury will have a difficult time

743
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: moving their risk. If it's not a fracture, how do

744
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: you go about treating a wrist injury doctor? If it's

745
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: just a spray or string, Usually the most common and

746
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: the best treatment is to do the rice approach, the

747
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: rest ice compression, elevation. Sometimes we'll put them in a

748
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: splint so that their wrist is in moving while the

749
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: body's trying to heal itself. Give me an idea of

750
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: how many bones we're talking about total in the risk

751
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: because I mentioned the aulna and the radius and those

752
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: are the lower arm bones. But what about the wrist

753
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: itself and then how long it takes to recover from

754
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,439
Speaker 1: a fracture. Usually, so the wrist is composed of eight

755
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: small bones and then you have the bigger bones, the

756
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: radius and the aulna, and that makes the wrist itself.

757
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: And so when you have injuries, especially if you have

758
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: a fracture, it can take about two months to get

759
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: better initially, and then you can have improvements for up

760
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: to a year. What about tendonitis? Does that happen lot?

761
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: Quite commonly. It will happen with patients that overuse it.

762
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: And so what happens is the attendants get inflamed and irritated,

763
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 1: and the attendants don't try to move within those tunnels.

764
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: And so there are things we can do to help

765
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: with that, whether that be anti inflammatory drug plenty sometimes

766
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: even steroid injections to help with the information and hopefully

767
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 1: improve the symptoms. Excellent information. Doctor. We really want to

768
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: thank you for the time. Thank you you have a

776
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: provider of the Houston Texans Houston Methodist Leading Medicine. All right,

777
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: let's review some of the things we learned today. We

778
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: learned that the general actually picked the Dolphins to win

779
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: a football game this weekend because they're playing another winless

780
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: team in the Washington Redskins, with Bill Callahan taking over

781
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: as head coach for the time being. I love how

782
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: these reports come out. Mike Tomlin's gonna get that job. Well,

783
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: wait a minute. If I'm Pittsburgh, I don't know if

784
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: I'm eager to let Mike Tomlin walk. I know maybe

785
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: they're sick of it there, but this guy's won a

786
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: lot of football games. I still like them. They're down

787
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 1: to their third string quarterback. Give me a break. Okay,

788
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: we'll see on the weekend's action goes. It starts tonight

789
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: with the Patriots somehow hosting the New York Giants. I

790
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: say somehow because it's another would be layup opponent. You

791
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: know me, in the NFL, I don't think there's any

792
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: such thing as a layup. I kind of get a

793
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: lot more liberal with my analysis when we're talking about

794
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: teams playing outside of this building. We all know how

795
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: hard it is. We see what these teams go through.

796
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: And I'll always give this example. When the Texans were

797
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: an expansion team, they knocked off two playoff teams that season. No,

798
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were not one of them. They were terrible

799
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: that year, but they knocked off the New York Giants

800
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: with Kerry Collins. They went to the playoffs and won

801
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: a game. They knocked off the Pittsburgh Steelers at Pittsburgh,

802
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: and the Steelers went to the playoffs and won a game.

803
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: That was the Tommy Maddox Steelers. That was that famous

804
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: game with Aaron Clan with two touchdowns and Kenny Wright

805
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,720
Speaker 1: with the third three defensive scores. You know the history.

806
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 1: I always bring that up as an example to show

807
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: that anything can happen at any moment in this league.

808
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 1: Anything can happen. Saturday Night as Texans extra points, which
