1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:00,800
Speaker 1: What's happened?

2
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:01,200
Speaker 2: Everybody?

3
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 3: Welcome to a Monday EDITU of Texans All Access from

4
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 3: Monday Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host, John Harris, Football

5
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 3: and Outside of the Reporter for your Houston Texans celebrating

6
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 3: to win no matter how you get it. Twenty three

7
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 3: to twenty over the Jacksonville Jaguars puts the Texans at

8
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 3: eight and five, going into a much needed bye week

9
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 3: for everybody.

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 4: We've never had a bye week this late.

11
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 3: I could promise you in that locker room, just looking

12
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 3: around at faces, whether a guy, players, staff, coaches, you

13
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 3: name it, anybody wearing the logo, you could see this

14
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: group needs a buy. This is coming out a great

15
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: time for a bye would have liked it earlier, but hey,

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: we'll take it. Got eight wins out of these first thirteen.

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 3: Obviously had a couple of gut punch losses. On the

18
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 3: last play of the game to really good NFC North teams.

19
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: Lost the game.

20
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: I don't know how you're gonna figure out what happened

21
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 3: against the Tennessee Titans, but walked out there with a

22
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 3: win for the first time against New England, win for

23
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: the first time at Dallas, beat Dallas on a Monday night,

24
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 3: beat the Bills. Of the hotter teams in the league,

25
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 3: beat them in week five. So in those first thirteen

26
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 3: did some good things. Obviously some things that Texans would

27
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: like to have back, and we'll clean up going forward.

28
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: But I think everybody in this building looked at the

29
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: schedule and went okay, bye week, and then after that bye.

30
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 4: Week, it's the fourth quarter.

31
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 3: It's a little different kind of like hockey, you get

32
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: that mission before the third period. We're getting the intermission

33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: before the fourth quarter. And then it's Miami on the fifteenth,

34
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: Chiefs on Saturday, twenty first, Ravens on the twenty fifth,

35
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: on Christmas on Wednesday. It is going to put this

36
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 3: team to the test. This team's already been there and

37
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: then some so I'm looking forward to and I think

38
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: down deep, there are a lot of people I think

39
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 3: in this building kind of looking forward to how good

40
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: are we. I think we'll find out after the bye. Well,

41
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: let's celebrate the buye and then we'll move forward and

42
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: take take on the final four games of the season

43
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: to see what it means as it sits right now,

44
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 3: the Colts have the same bye week as US, and

45
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: bringing them up because Texans magic numbers two win. Any

46
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: combination of Texans wins Colts losses will give them the division.

47
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 3: So could it happen the first week we get back

48
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 3: from the bye. Yes, we play the Dolphins at home,

49
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 3: the Broncos play the Colts in Denver.

50
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 4: Texans win, Colts lose.

51
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 3: Texans win, end up winning a division at that point,

52
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 3: But that's down the road. We're gonna celebrate having this

53
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 3: buy and we're gonna celebrate the win yesterday against the

54
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: Jacksonville Jaguars, and we're gonna do it with the guys

55
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: celebrating an anniversary today thirty five years ago Andre where

56
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: our good friend won the only Heisman in the University

57
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: of Houston football history, one in nineteen to nine, after

58
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 3: one of the great years anybody's ever had at the

59
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 3: quarterback position. He did things that players don't even do today.

60
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 3: And so I was, I saw that nugget today very

61
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: early in the morning, and I thought, I got to

62
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 3: bring this up.

63
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 4: With him, so you'll hear his thoughts.

64
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 3: And in typical Andrea fashion, he was very deferring, deferred

65
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 3: to a lot of the guys that he played with

66
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: would never talk about how great he was and he

67
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 3: was damn great. Here's our discussion with Andre where.

68
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 5: A day later, not quite twenty four hours later, how

69
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 5: do you feel about that victory overall, getting to eight

70
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 5: and five at the buy.

71
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just take a win anyway you can get it.

72
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 6: And they're not pretty, especially against a team that wants

73
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 6: to resist. And Jacksonville hadn't thrown in the towel yet,

74
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 6: which is encouraging for Doug Peterson because you know, everyone

75
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 6: thinks they should have quit and just laid down and

76
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 6: finished the season that way.

77
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: But that's not them.

78
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 6: They've got some talent there. They fought hard yesterday, but

79
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 6: ultimately in Texans were able to come out.

80
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: Of there with a win. You're not everyone's not going

81
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: to be pretty.

82
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 6: Everyone's not going to be you know, you win by

83
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 6: thirty points or so. Some days it's going to be

84
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 6: just a tough fight, and yesterday proved that.

85
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was definitely a fight.

86
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: For sure. We'll get.

87
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, propos d What do you think of the

88
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 3: way CJ played?

89
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: So no.

90
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: I asked Amiko there at the end about CJ, and

91
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: he was really proud of the way that he played.

92
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: Didn't throw any interceptions at the touchdown to Dalton. Nico

93
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 3: dropped the one on the sideline.

94
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: The Nico had.

95
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 3: Another catch that was negated by a penalty, which was ridiculous.

96
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: They called Kate for being off side because Shaq and

97
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 3: Titus are a yard deep in the backfield.

98
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: I swear to you like they're a yard deep.

99
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: Titus is lined up as deep as Robert Woods, who's

100
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: the flanker on that side, and Kate is the.

101
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: One that got penalized for so it felt.

102
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: Like he was I'll say, kind of back to the CJ.

103
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: We know or what, I don't know, but he just

104
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: looked like he had a lot of comfort yesterday, got

105
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: very comfortable and then obviously he got the Dalton like

106
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: his third read on that particular plays happen to be

107
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 3: wide open.

108
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: Did you think of the way CJ played yesterday?

109
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 6: I thought CJ was solid. You know, he moved the

110
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 6: ball around. He wasn't just locked in on one one

111
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 6: one receiver. Uh the tight ends tight end got got

112
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 6: Dalton had a big day yesterday. It kind of felt

113
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 6: like that we were talking about it early in the

114
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 6: broadcast that you know, he it was about time for

115
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 6: him to insert himself into this offense. And when he did,

116
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 6: they were going to be that much more dangerous. So

117
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 6: he CJ found him. We found him over and time

118
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 6: and time again. CJ found uh Nico Collins. And I

119
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 6: said yesterday as well, I think Nico's putting together not

120
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 6: only a Pro Bowl season, but an all Pro season.

121
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 6: So you know then, and it takes good quarterback play

122
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 6: for a receiver or to to get to that point.

123
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: And and see has been solid.

124
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 5: How about Nico Collins has missed five games. He's eighth

125
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 5: in the league in receiving yards and leads the NFL

126
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 5: in receiving yards per game.

127
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: Isn't he the only one over one hundred yards in

128
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: the league.

129
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's the only one with over one hundred yards

130
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 5: game average in the NFL, and mixing his third in

131
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 5: the league yards per game.

132
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 6: So I hope missing the games doesn't hurt him when

133
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 6: it comes down to the end of the season and

134
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 6: the awards start to be passed out and things of

135
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 6: that sort.

136
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: But man, he is as good as anybody in the

137
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: league right now, and he knows it.

138
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 6: You can see all of a sudden, I don't know

139
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 6: if you guys have noticed a few games back, that

140
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 6: switch flipped and he was like, wait a minute, I'm

141
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 6: a bad dude. And now he's start he gets it,

142
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 6: he's starting to play like it, and I think he's

143
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 6: playing as well as any receiver, and I'm talking about

144
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 6: the very best in the NFL.

145
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 5: What is it about out receivers who are able to

146
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 5: get that kind of separation? Is it just as simple

147
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 5: as speed, the ability to cut, to make those right

148
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 5: angle cuts to shake off the defender. I guess I'm

149
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 5: answering my own question here, but you know, you look

150
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 5: at some of these measurables dre some guys at the combine. Yeah,

151
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 5: they run a four to three something, but they don't

152
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 5: turn into great receivers because there's a lot more to

153
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 5: it than just running. Obviously, great hands, route running, the

154
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 5: knowledge of the offense.

155
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on that subject.

156
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I could go down the road with you,

157
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 6: down the rabbit hole about the combine and so on

158
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 6: and so forth. I mean, you get guys running in

159
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 6: shorts and this and that, and it's not their true speed,

160
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 6: it's you know, your true speeds when you have a

161
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 6: helmet and shoulder pads on that you're gonna wear in

162
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 6: a game, won't Why wouldn't they change it and have

163
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 6: guys run forties with that stuff on, so that you

164
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 6: know the exact true speed how they carry their pads

165
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 6: in and out of breaks, because it's so so that

166
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 6: you all of a sudden that stuff gets heavy and

167
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 6: you can't make that subtle break that you need to

168
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 6: break to make to get separation.

169
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: So I just think some things there need to be changed.

170
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: They they give us.

171
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 6: They still go seven steps drops Johnny at the combine.

172
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: When have you seen a seven step drop in the NFL?

173
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: You know, you know what I'm saying.

174
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,559
Speaker 6: You never see that stuff. It's just been one way

175
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 6: the whole time. That stuff needs to be changed. But

176
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 6: you know to ask, answer your question mark and around

177
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 6: after going around the block a few times.

178
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 2: It's just how a guy.

179
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 6: It's leverage, it's quickness, it's uh, just the ability to

180
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 6: change directions in a hurry and know how to set

181
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 6: a guy up to make him think you're going one

182
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 6: way and you're going to break the other.

183
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 2: So it's some guys just have it. I mean, you know,

184
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 2: you go back to the.

185
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 6: West Welkers, the the Danny A Mondolas, they I mean,

186
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 6: they could do it and every year just about when

187
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 6: when they had big years it was one hundred catches

188
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 6: here or there or maybe even more.

189
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt.

190
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,479
Speaker 3: Okay, Mark and I Dre have already kind of addressed

191
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: our thoughts on the EAZA situation. So I just kind

192
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 3: of want to give you the open floor just to

193
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: kind of everything that went down with that particular play,

194
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 3: the aftermath, et cetera, your thoughts about just everything that

195
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 3: kind of took place.

196
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, in football, emotions are gonna take over. I get it, Uh,

197
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 6: but you have to know how to It's it's you

198
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 6: got to know to control those emotions. You want players

199
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 6: playing with rage and passion, and you never want to

200
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 6: dial that stuff back, not in a football game.

201
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: I mean you want to.

202
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 6: You'd rather have to dial it back than to have

203
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 6: to dial it up, is what I tell players. And

204
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 6: so I just thought once the hit had occurred and

205
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 6: whatever went on, my problem with disease was after he

206
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 6: was already uh ejected from the game. Then that add

207
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 6: on And I think that add on is what the

208
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 6: league is going to uh to really take a hard

209
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 6: look at. And that's that part of it will will

210
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 6: probably force the league to do something.

211
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: What that something is I have no idea. Uh.

212
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 6: My problem also was guys running want to be tough,

213
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 6: guys running off the sideline and trying to.

214
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 2: Fight every week. You know, stop, I mean enough already.

215
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know it's it's you see it every single

216
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 6: week and it's the same guy every single week.

217
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: And yesterday there was no cause for it.

218
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 6: He wasn't even in the game and bolted across the field.

219
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 6: So that kind of stuff needs to stop. Instead of

220
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 6: trying to be a peacemaker, you're trying to you know,

221
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 6: you're adding fuel to the flame. That that's uh. I

222
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 6: think the league will take a look at that as well,

223
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 6: and there'll be some fines and and uh maybe beyond that.

224
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 6: But it is it's not something you want to see.

225
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 6: I saw it on Saturday with Ohio State, Michigan and

226
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 6: a couple of other games. There's no place for it

227
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 6: in the league on any football field. You know, you

228
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 6: got sixty minutes to get it done. Get it done

229
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 6: in sixty minutes.

230
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 5: The Thanksgiving weekend brawl fest over the place.

231
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: It's like angry families getting together.

232
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was crazy of college, especially obviously, there were

233
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 5: so many examples of this.

234
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to plant the flag somewhere.

235
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 5: How about play the game better sixty minutes to get

236
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 5: it done man, Yeah, so, Dre. But one more thing

237
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 5: on the quarterback sliding thing. We all want to see

238
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 5: the quarterbacks protected. Yes, I think it's easier said that.

239
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 5: I'm not excusing anything here. All defenders have this decision

240
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 5: to make. Here comes the quarterback. Is he going to

241
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 5: slide or not? I've already committed to hitting him up high.

242
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 5: Now he slides or he might be going low? But

243
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 5: is he slide? And then how hard is it to

244
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 5: pull up or fly over the top. I think that's

245
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 5: difficult in some cases. And then with the sideline stuff

246
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 5: with Mahomes faking like he's going out of bounds and

247
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 5: whoop comes back in that stuff seems unfair, but I

248
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 5: get it. So I don't know what to do about it.

249
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 5: But it's a thing right now this league that has

250
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 5: to be addressed.

251
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 2: Didn't a home score like that? Yeah a year a

252
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: couple of years ago for a.

253
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's hard on fenders, there really is. And the

254
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 6: way the game is refed now, it's even tighter in

255
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 6: terms of how you hit the quarterback. I've often said

256
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 6: I don't know how you sacked the quarterback now, because

257
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 6: there's certain spots. I mean, you got to maybe an

258
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 6: area of about ten inches where you can hit him

259
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 6: and that's it, and that is it. Yeah, But you know,

260
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 6: yesterday I thought at the end of it, once you

261
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 6: watch it back, there was a little bit of extra

262
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 6: and so I think that's where, uh.

263
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: You know, you've got to keep that out of it.

264
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 6: If you're just you, you've already committed and he's going down,

265
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 6: figure out a way to try to avoid him or

266
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 6: make it look like you're trying to avoid him as

267
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 6: opposed to hitting. I don't think there's certain plays where

268
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 6: quarterbacks are sliding and there's contact made, but the heids

269
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 6: how the defender presents the contact that whether or not

270
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 6: it's going to be called.

271
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: And I thought yesterday after you know, you know, you

272
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: look at it, you look back at it. I thought

273
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: disease could have gone over him.

274
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 6: But he is a different type, you know, when that

275
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 6: that flip, the switch flips for him, he's a different

276
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 6: type of player.

277
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 2: He wants the contact.

278
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 6: Jimmy Ward wants the contact, and so when when they commit,

279
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 6: it doesn't matter you're a runner at that.

280
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: Point to them. But it's still they're going to protect

281
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: the quarterback.

282
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 3: Okay, speaking to quarterback, this one's actually for both of you.

283
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: But Drey, I want your perspective on this because of

284
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 3: what I'm about to add. When we were on a

285
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 3: plane last night, I didn't have enough Wi Fi to

286
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 3: be able to watch the Panthers and the Buccaneers, but

287
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 3: I was able to kind of follow it enough on

288
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 3: Twitter to see some of the things that Bryce Young

289
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 3: was doing late in this game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

290
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: They scored.

291
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he throws a touchdown with thirty seconds left and

292
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 3: it looks like the Panthers are gonna win. Then Baker

293
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: goes down and maybe and Baker, you can throw into

294
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: this as well. But I want to focus on Bryce,

295
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: and I also want to focus on Anthony Richardson because

296
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 3: these are two quarterbacks from the same draft as CJ

297
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 3: that end up getting benched. They go to the bench

298
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 3: for like two games. The Colt realized Flacco's not the guy, so.

299
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: They bring Richardson back.

300
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: Andy Dalton gets in a car accident, but Bryce then

301
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 3: goes back in and all of a sudden, he hasn't

302
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 3: thrown an interception in his last three starts. He's staid

303
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: three touchdowns. Now, it's not perfect. It's not the greatest

304
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 3: thing you've ever seen. They're a bad team, but they're

305
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: they're not great, and he was making plays yesterday that

306
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: would have won them the game. So I ask you,

307
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: what do you think the Bryce Young slash slash Anthony

308
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 3: Richardson experience of starting being anointed the starter, but then struggling,

309
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: sitting watching, going back in and then showing some progress

310
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: from that point. Is it as simple as the perspective changed, Drey?

311
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: How do you kind of look at that because and

312
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: I bring that up because I think that teams going forward,

313
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: there were a lot of teams that drafted quarterbacks in

314
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. There're gonna be a lot of them

315
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 3: that draft a lot of projects in.

316
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty five.

317
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: The patients that you have to have with quarterbacks now,

318
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: I think is higher than maybe teams are willing to do.

319
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: And these two teams seeming almost gave up on their guys.

320
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 3: Drey, what do you think that tells us about the

321
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: development of quarterbacks in the NFL kind of going forward?

322
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 3: Do you think it forces teams to be more patient

323
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 3: the way that Bryce and Anthony have played since they

324
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 3: were benched.

325
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 6: I think so, I think you learn, you know, there's

326
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 6: every situation in every individual's different. You know, you've got

327
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 6: guys in situations where they're they're bad, And indeed there

328
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 6: they were. You know, they obviously needed a quarterback. They

329
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 6: had a lot of pieces though around Anthony, and I

330
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 6: thought they were that was a rush because of you know,

331
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 6: just hadn't played a whole lot of football. So I

332
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 6: get where they wanted to get him on the field

333
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 6: quickly and uh and and get games behind him and

334
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 6: maybe he could play well enough to keep him in

335
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 6: games and win. I don't think the Colts thought last

336
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 6: year they were going to the playoffs with Anthony Richardson,

337
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 6: but they did this year because he had he had

338
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 6: a year to sit and watch. So in his case,

339
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 6: he's pretty much sat and uh and and had the

340
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 6: experience of learning from the sideline. But it took maybe

341
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 6: waking him up after the comments, after the way he

342
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 6: was playing. I think that the comments had more to

343
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 6: do with that, yes, than anything else in bryce the situation.

344
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 6: I probably know way more about this than I probably

345
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 6: should and should talk about. But the entire team wanted

346
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 6: to see Andy Dalton play the defense as well, and

347
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 6: I love it. I love a comeback story. I love

348
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 6: the underdog. You guys know that. And to see what

349
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 6: he's doing now, he's got guys eating their words because

350
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 6: it's not because of how Bryce Young is playing. It's

351
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 6: because the defense can't stop any damn body. And so

352
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 6: those were some of the guys that were clamoring for

353
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 6: Andy Dalton. We knew Dalton had an expiration date. He

354
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 6: does every time he gets a start. I told the

355
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 6: guy that I worked with in East Draw at ESPN

356
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 6: every on Friday nights that he does the Panthers play

357
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 6: by play.

358
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: He's the mark of the Panthers.

359
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 6: And I told him then, I said, you know everybody's

360
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 6: you know, throwing a parade for Dalton. You know that

361
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 6: expiration date's coming. Sure enough, they had to go back

362
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 6: to Bryce Young. At this point, he's ready, you know,

363
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 6: he's had a chance to sit and see it after

364
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 6: playing in it and knowing that in the back of

365
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 6: my mind, if I get back in, this is what

366
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 6: I'm going to do. And he's done exactly that. They're

367
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 6: they're in games because of him, and you know, whereas

368
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 6: they were done and probably ready to move on, that

369
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 6: calculation is going to be totally different next year if

370
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 6: they can just find him some you know, offensive line help,

371
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 6: a guy that can consistently run the football in the backfield,

372
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 6: and then you know a couple of receivers to throw

373
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 6: to that all that matters. Carolina didn't have it, and

374
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 6: those players had to get better as well around Bryce.

375
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 2: They have as well just from playing.

376
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: It's got to be tough.

377
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 5: I mean, this franchise went with David Carr in two

378
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 5: thousand and two and beyond, and should he have sat

379
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 5: first my home staff for a year behind a good

380
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 5: quarterback Alex smithher it helped him and Dre We always

381
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 5: talk about fit right. This is a longer conversation, but

382
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 5: you know we mentioned Mac Jones yesterday. He was on

383
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,959
Speaker 5: the All Rookie team in twenty twenty one Pro Bowler.

384
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 5: They go to the playoffs and then offensive coordinator or

385
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 5: defensive guys and then Bill O'Brien. It just didn't work

386
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 5: in New England. Guy's got to be able to play.

387
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 5: Yet you have seventy thousand people were trying to win games.

388
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 5: You got teammates. It's awkward, it's tough, and there's no

389
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 5: one right way.

390
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 2: To do it.

391
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: But fit means everything, doesn't it.

392
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it totally does.

393
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 6: I mean look at Jordan Love and Green Bay. How

394
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 6: many years he sit, like three before they decided to,

395
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 6: you know, put him on the field, And I mean

396
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 6: that was a legit three he didn't take reps. And

397
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 6: I don't understand this. This is another RNT. I can

398
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 6: go on about being ahead in the NFL and not

399
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 6: getting your backup quarterback work, whereas if the injury happens,

400
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 6: you know you got somebody that's not deer in the headlights,

401
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 6: get a guy some rep some work and when you

402
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 6: obviously can any time you can.

403
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 2: And and I go back to.

404
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 6: That because of the Jordan Love situation, but I thought

405
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 6: there were many games he should have been in where

406
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 6: Green Bay was way ahead. But there are totally different

407
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 6: ways to develop a quarterback. It works that way in

408
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 6: Green Bay. They it's true to what they how they've

409
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 6: done it. They did it with Farv as well before

410
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers, and they obviously did it with Aaron Rodgers,

411
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 6: so that that formula for them works. I think it

412
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 6: would work that way in all situations if a guy

413
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 6: had to sit and.

414
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: Wait and play later.

415
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 6: But the financial aspect of it forces forces a franchise

416
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 6: to put a quarterback on the field before he's ready.

417
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 3: Hey, it's December second, twenty twenty four. Do you know

418
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 3: where you were thirty five years ago?

419
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: My friend?

420
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, December second, Yes I do.

421
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 6: That's a date that will always be uh important to me,

422
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 6: and and it takes me back and down memory lane.

423
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: For a while. It Yes, I know exactly.

424
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: I thought you were about thirty five. This was thirty

425
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: five years ago.

426
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 3: Thirty five years ago today, my man, our man, Andre

427
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 3: Ware won the heisman, the only heisman in the history

428
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 3: of the University of Houston, thirty five years ago today.

429
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: And I just remember seeing where where were you you

430
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: were in You were in a right Yeah, you were

431
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: at right.

432
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: The right stadium.

433
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, down a in a like a room that they

434
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 6: they'd kind of taken some stuff out of to set

435
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 6: up the TV feed and we were able to squeeze,

436
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 6: you know, an offensive line and some receivers and coach

437
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 6: Party obviously was he was in there, so uh it was.

438
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 6: It's a memory that we'll all share, everybody on that

439
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 6: that team that year. And I always say, you know,

440
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 6: every every teammate has a piece of the Heisman.

441
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: I just get to keep it at my house.

442
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: Very true.

443
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 5: I do love that though, Draya. I love that you

444
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 5: share that with the teammates because they can.

445
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: All be a part of it.

446
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 5: And I likened Andre Johnson getting into the Pro Football

447
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame in that way for the early years

448
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 5: Texans who were with him, And yeah, you can all

449
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,239
Speaker 5: share in that because you're all part of something. It's

450
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 5: an individual award, but it's a team sport and you

451
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 5: can all participate. And that's great, Drake, congratulations on that.

452
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 5: And I meant that I thought you were about thirty five.

453
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 5: So this is really confusing to me.

454
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: I feel it.

455
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 6: I say every birthday, I'm twenty six again, so you

456
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 6: know I stopped that nice after about thirty five, I

457
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 6: stopped or after twenty six, I stopped to counting.

458
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: Just remember I'm the youngest of the three. Just remember that.

459
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: What are you really Yeah, I was in high school.

460
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: That was my senior year in high school.

461
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 5: When this does not make me feel good, I thought

462
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 5: I was the youngest. Wait a minute, all right, Drey,

463
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 5: we'll catch up tomorrow because we'll celebrate again with Andy

464
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 5: Kalu Rice Alum as we do the Players show tomorrow,

465
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 5: looking forward to seeing that my friend.

466
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: All Right, guys, I'll see you there.

467
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 3: I once watched a Rice Houston game with Andre I know.

468
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 3: I mean, we all love Indeed, there's no doubt, but

469
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 3: Andre does not care too much for Rice. He has

470
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 3: a nickname for them, which I won't say on the air,

471
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 3: but I love that man. Congratulations thirty five years after

472
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 3: the fact. Man, It's It's something that will always sit

473
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 3: with me. I'm a huge fan of Heiser Trophy, I'm

474
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 3: huge fan Andre Ware, and so putting those two together

475
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 3: thirty five years ago was very, very cool, and so

476
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: I was glad that we were able to bring that

477
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: up when we talked with him. Now, the aforementioned indie Kolu,

486
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 3: couldn't wait to talk to d about everything that transpired

487
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 3: on Sunday. It was interesting to had a chance to

488
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 3: see my my buddy Kevin Coogler and Kevin and Indy

489
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 3: and I did the preseason Texans games. Had a blast

490
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 3: doing that. So let's hear from Indie Kalu right here.

491
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: I want to know how Indy Kalu feels.

492
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 5: I know that you're not undefeated, You're not eleven and

493
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 5: one like the Chiefs or whatever.

494
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: Look you are what you are.

495
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 5: You got a three game above five hundred and six,

496
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 5: you got a two game lead in the division, and

497
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 5: you got a lot of possibilities with a little rest

498
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 5: before you get into the final four games.

499
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: And d how's it going?

500
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 7: Oh man, I'm feeling good. And look, a win is

501
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 7: a win in the NFL. You know, I know some

502
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 7: people were expecting a greater margin, but it's the NFL.

503
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 2: You look at Detroit.

504
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 7: You talked about eleven to one Detroit, they beat Chicago,

505
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 7: but I believe the same score. But it was a

506
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 7: close game. Tampa Bay barely beats Carolina. Kansas City, another

507
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 7: eleven to one team. They beat Las Vegas by two.

508
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 7: This is the NFL. You take the victories as you

509
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 7: as you can take them, and you continue to improve

510
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 7: and move on there. They're still in a position to

511
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 7: win the division to get into the playoffs, and that's

512
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 7: all you can ask for right now.

513
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Mark and I figured it out there in

514
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 3: the break. It's as simple as this. And I know

515
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 3: it's two weeks away, so we can talk about this. Yeah,

516
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 3: Texans beat the Dolphins, Colts lose at Broncos, and the

517
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 3: division is clinched.

518
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 5: You can clinch it is you can clinch clinch it

519
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 5: on the field because the Colts played later afternoon.

520
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, but that would give you nine wins.

521
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 3: Got to score up my call, Johnny, I know, I know,

522
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 3: but no, you you focus on the game like I know,

523
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 3: indeven focus on the game.

524
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: Uh, Indy.

525
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 3: I want to talk trenches because I love to talk trenches.

526
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 3: Would you love to talk football with you? Let's talk

527
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 3: anything with you. But yesterday running game early on like

528
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 3: nothing there really nothing there, nothing there, and then all

529
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 3: of a sudden, it felt like on that outside zone

530
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 3: that Joe cut back when it was six to six,

531
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 3: you cut it back. He got to the six yard

532
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 3: line and they ran it again to the left side

533
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: going the end zone.

534
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: It felt like from that point on.

535
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 3: The run game and the offensive line kind of asserted itself,

536
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 3: maybe more so than it had in a while. What

537
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 3: was kind of your thoughts and Dimico gave them a

538
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 3: game ball after the game? Your thoughts about what you

539
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 3: saw from the offensive line and this configuration that has

540
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: been I guess together now three or four weeks with

541
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: Jared Center, ju said left guard. Your thoughts about what

542
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: that group showed you on Sunday? Did you walk out

543
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 3: of there feel a little bit better about that group

544
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 3: and how they were able to run the ball against

545
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 3: the Jags?

546
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: No, I felt much better.

547
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 7: Just overall, it felt like they had a cleaner game.

548
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,479
Speaker 7: I don't have the stats in front of me, but

549
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 7: I don't remember hearing penalty by larry Ton, so I

550
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 7: don't remember hearing Titus Howard's name. And then as far

551
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 7: as actually the job that they need to do creating

552
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 7: the whole staying on the blocks, you mentioned it after

553
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 7: that Joe mix and run. I believe it was to

554
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 7: the left side that you that you just described. It

555
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 7: just felt like they kind of they were reinvigorated, they

556
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 7: woke up, they were excited about playing about run blocking,

557
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 7: and you saw it after that throughout the entire game,

558
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 7: and it rubbed off. I mean, there was a play

559
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 7: on thirty five late in the game when they picked

560
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 7: up the first down with a run Nico No, no, no,

561
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 7: Robert Woods. Robert Woods had a block that any offensive

562
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 7: lineman would be proud of. So it just rubs off

563
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 7: on the entire team. But overall, I felt like the

564
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 7: offensive line just played a clean football.

565
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: Game and d Kalud joining us Andy.

566
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 5: Let's talk about the hit by Aziz al Shier, who

567
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 5: apologized on Twitter and talked about how he did not

568
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 5: mean to hurt Trevor Lawrence. He did not I'm going

569
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 5: to read some of the statement here in a moment.

570
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 5: He did not obviously intend to cause any harm. He

571
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 5: actually talked to Lawrence before the game and said, it's

572
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 5: great to have your back playing. But it was one

573
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 5: of those things obviously tempers flared. I want to know

574
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 5: how you see and saw the situation.

575
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 7: You know what, I hate that a player like Aziz

576
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 7: al Shire has to go out publicly in tweet that

577
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 7: he wasn't trying to hurt him and anybody that understands football.

578
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 7: And I know it's a you day and age. I

579
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 7: know that they're they're protecting the quarterbacks more so than

580
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 7: they're protecting any other position.

581
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 2: On the football field. And as much as it pains

582
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 2: me to.

583
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 7: Say it, I'll even say, yes, I get that it

584
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 7: should have been a penalty, but to say that he's dirty,

585
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 7: to say that he should be suspended multiple games for

586
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 7: playing the game the way we were taught how to

587
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 7: play it, And I have to keep reminding myself, like, look,

588
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 7: I'm in my late forties, I'm old. You know the

589
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 7: game has changed, But when you're in the open field,

590
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 7: one of the toughest things to do is to tackle

591
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 7: an athlete in the open field. I don't care if

592
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 7: it's a quarterback or wide receiver, running back. Quarterbacks are athletes.

593
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 7: And many times, you know, I've been in that position

594
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 7: and you're thinking, Okay, is he gonna juke me east,

595
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 7: is it gonna juke me west? Or is he gonna

596
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 7: run through me? And now you have to throw in

597
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 7: and decipher, oh, is he gonna flide? Like you can't

598
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 7: play football like that. So you know, al Shire just

599
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 7: said I'm going to stop him before he gets to

600
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 7: the first down. It resulted in a gruesome hit. But

601
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 7: to think that he was purposely trying to knock Lawrence

602
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 7: out of the game, or he was trying to concuss them,

603
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 7: it's ridiculous.

604
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 2: It's stupid.

605
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 7: And the defenders they're behind the eight ball when it

606
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 7: comes to doing their job. It's not an excuse. I

607
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 7: get it. I don't like it, But to think that

608
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 7: that he needs to publicly apologize and say that he

609
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 7: wasn't trying to hurt him, it's ridiculous. A very few

610
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 7: guys in the NFL are actually trying to hurt other

611
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 7: NFL players. It's a brotherhood. You're trying to hit him

612
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 7: as hard as you can, You're trying to play as

613
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 7: aggressively as possible. But it just it bothers me when

614
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 7: I hear people saying, oh, he's dirty and he shouldn't

615
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 7: be able to play in the NFL.

616
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 5: Play doctor Phil and former NFL player for me right now,

617
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 5: ingram hits disease very hard after the hit on Lawrence,

618
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 5: and you get it because he's quote defending the quarterback,

619
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 5: and then it just goes crazy. The tempers flair big time.

620
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 5: You've got Teal and Liberty White going at it on

621
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 5: the sideline multiple groups. It was a scene to be sure,

622
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 5: what happens to guys endy the tempers, just the fire

623
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 5: that takes place when you're between the lines and something

624
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 5: like that occurs.

625
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing.

626
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 7: The NFL has created this culture now that if you

627
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 7: hit a quarterback a certain way, it's automatically dirty or

628
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 7: should be penalized. Again, Yeah, I love what Ingram did.

629
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 7: I mean, you're always supposed to defend your quarterback, but

630
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 7: the way he defended him, like he was truly wrong.

631
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 7: And I know some people listening are gonna disagree with me,

632
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 7: and that's fine, especially if they've played the game and

633
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 7: they understand what it means to be running full speed

634
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 7: and then to just stop and say, oh, he's sliding,

635
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 7: so I'm not gonna hit him, Like, don't get me

636
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 7: started on this mark, Like it really, like my blood

637
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 7: is already starting to it's really starting to boil because

638
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 7: I don't know if I'm more upset at the rules

639
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 7: or the way the color commentators call it. But and

640
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 7: then the fact that they always show it slow motion,

641
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 7: like oh, it's easy for him to adjust this angle

642
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 7: when you're watching it in slow motion, but to be running.

643
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 2: Full speed, full speed.

644
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 7: And Trevor Lawrence was close to putting to picking up

645
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 7: the first down, and then you're saying at the last millisecond,

646
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 7: you're supposed to change your angle, Like, I just don't

647
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 7: get it. And what you're really telling the defender is

648
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 7: if it's the quarterback, you're basically just supposed to pull

649
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 7: off them. And we've all seen, we've all seen when

650
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 7: the quarterback fake slides, a defender pulls up and then

651
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 7: he runs around the defender and the defender's looking stupid.

652
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 7: So again, as soon as I saw it, I said, oh,

653
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 7: that's a flag. I get it. I agree with it.

654
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 7: But the way they reacted as if he's outside here

655
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 7: with some thug out there, that that bothers me. But

656
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 7: the NFL has created this culture now where if you

657
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 7: touch a quarterback or an offensive player, they're they're automatically

658
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 7: looking for a flag.

659
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 3: No, that's why I said to Mark earlier, the optics,

660
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 3: you know, the optics sometimes ended up being you know,

661
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 3: what the fans react to as opposed to thinking about it,

662
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 3: And and he brought up a great point. The whole

663
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 3: slow motion thing like when you see things.

664
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: Well, he could just pull up right here.

665
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 3: Those things are slowed down to like milliseconds of top

666
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 3: milliseconds of time. On a different note, Indy, Nico Collins

667
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 3: continues to just make plays regardless. I mean, he dropped

668
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 3: the one pass on the sideline. Mark and I were

669
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 3: talking about that earlier and he looked at his hands like, man,

670
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 3: what happened? And it was a big play because it

671
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 3: ended up being at three and out. But since Nico

672
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: Collins has been back, it feels like this passing game

673
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 3: has kind of been tilted back on its access.

674
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: A little bit.

675
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 3: I don't know that we can really state his full value,

676
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,239
Speaker 3: but how important in your mind is he to this

677
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 3: offense and to keep him healthy the rest of this season.

678
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 7: As of right now, and it's because we've seen life

679
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 7: without Nico Collins. I think he's the MVP of the season.

680
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 7: And I'm not saying outside of the quarterback either. I'm

681
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 7: saying right now, he's the most valuable player on the

682
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 7: Houston Texan team. And a part of it. Part of

683
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 7: the reason I'm saying that is because we saw what

684
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 7: the offense looked like when he wasn't there. I mean

685
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 7: you talk about an embarrassment of riches at the wide

686
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 7: receivers position for the Houston Texans to go from Andre

687
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 7: Johnson to DeAndre Hopkins and now you have Nico Collins.

688
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 7: I mean, I think this guy is in line to

689
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 7: be one of the great wide receivers we talked about

690
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 7: when we talk about the Houston Texans, and I just think,

691
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 7: you know, simply put, he's the most valuable player on

692
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 7: this team.

693
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 5: And d Kalud joining us Joe Mixon also deserves some

694
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 5: consideration there when you think about what he means to

695
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 5: this football team as you get toward here we are

696
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 5: in December, toward the end of the season, postseason, running game, defense, Yeah,

697
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 5: Nico Collins is going to figure in the offense, no

698
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 5: question about it. What about the tools they have to

699
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 5: work with here and D coming down the stretch and

700
00:33:58,440 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 5: into January.

701
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 7: No, look when you talk and I know it's changed

702
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 7: because you know it's an offensive game, but you Neilton

703
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 7: Mark when you talk about playing late in January, I

704
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 7: don't think they have to play in the elements like

705
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 7: what we saw with San Francisco Baltimore yesterday. But you

706
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 7: think defense, running game, that's what's gonna get you over

707
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 7: the top of December January football. But with the way

708
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 7: Joe Mixon is playing, I mean we have our special three.

709
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 7: You know, back way way way back in the day

710
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 7: when the Dallas Cowboys were good and they had MS Smith,

711
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 7: Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin. I mean right now the

712
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 7: Texas a CJ. Stroud, Nico Collins and Joe Mixon. And

713
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 7: Joe Mixon has Actually He's taught me something because I've always,

714
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 7: as somebody who analyzes football, somebody who's a huge football fan,

715
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 7: I've always somewhat devalued the running back position. I always thought,

716
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 7: I if you have a good offensive line and you

717
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 7: can get away with having a good running back, you

718
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 7: can get away with running back by committee. But Joe Mixon,

719
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 7: just what he does when he's in and when he's out,

720
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 7: how the offense looks. It reminded me like, no, some

721
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 7: running backs are special and you still need him regardless

722
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 7: of who the offensive linemen are block and forms. So yeah,

723
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 7: with Joe mix and Nico Collins, C J. Stroud, I

724
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 7: really think this team, if they can continue to fix

725
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 7: some of these issues and continue to make bigger plays,

726
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 7: more big explosion plays that we like to call them.

727
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 7: Things could get pretty exciting late in the season.

728
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 3: I think I'm fund is fascinating with the running back discussion.

729
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 3: Sakuan goes from the Giants the Eagles, tears it up.

730
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 3: Derek Henry goes from the Titans of the Ravens, tears

731
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 3: it up. Joe comes down here, he's completely rejuvenated. Like

732
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 3: running backs that change teams ended up being pretty good

733
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 3: pickups for a lot of the teams that ended up

734
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 3: on the receiving end.

735
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 5: Apparently that conference call they had really worked out.

736
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: It just took a while. Yeah, it just took a

737
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: little bit.

738
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 3: So I don't know, maybe maybe it worked, but he

739
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 3: meant Saku has been incredible Indy. It's been thirteen games

740
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 3: in a row and now the Texans get a bye.

741
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 3: So as a player, I know it's important because thirteen

742
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 3: games in a row is absolute torture in some sense.

743
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 3: But on a bye week and obviously important to get

744
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 3: the body right, But how important is it to get

745
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 3: kind of mentally refocused.

746
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 1: For the last quarter of the year for these players?

747
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 3: When you were going through your bye week, what were

748
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 3: kind of the key things that you wanted to quote

749
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 3: unquote accomplish while you were on the bye week getting

750
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 3: ready for the final part of the season.

751
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 7: It depends on how the season's going. But you're right,

752
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 7: thirteen straight games. The teams, they've had the up and downs.

753
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 7: It's awesome that they they're going into this bye week

754
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 7: after a victory. I would not be surprised if Demiko

755
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 7: told the guys not only to take however many days

756
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 7: off that he's going to let him take off, but

757
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 7: he encourages them not to even think about football. I

758
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 7: remember the year before we went to the Super Bowl

759
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 7: in Philadelphia, we had a similar run in Andy Reid,

760
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 7: who's I mean, obviously he's the first ballot Hall of

761
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 7: Fame head coach and Andrew Reid. He not only encouraged

762
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 7: us to leave town during our bye week, he gave

763
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 7: us like two extra days. He even said leave your

764
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 7: playbooks here. You know that's back when we still had

765
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 7: manual playbooks. But he was like, just just get away

766
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 7: from football for three four days and just rejuvenate. When

767
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 7: I say that, I was actually looking because I flew

768
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 7: back to Houston during that time, and I was actually

769
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 7: looking forward to getting back to Philadelphia because he you know,

770
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,959
Speaker 7: I followed with his directions and just didn't think about

771
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 7: football for a few days, rested. You know, it's such

772
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 7: a grind just to get away. Then we went in

773
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 7: and made it all the way to the conference championship

774
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 7: game with Demiko being a player and truly understanding and

775
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 7: knowing what these guys are feeling right now. I wouldn't

776
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 7: be surprised if he has a similar message.

777
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so.

778
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna want them to really unplug as

779
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 5: much as possible because they've got to get some rest.

780
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 5: These games are huge. NFL memes put this out. I

781
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 5: didn't know that, but they they make fun of things.

782
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 5: NFL memes is fantastic, particularly on Instagram. That's where they

783
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 5: really unload. The Dolphins haven't beat a team with a

784
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,280
Speaker 5: winning record in seven hundred and six days.

785
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: Wait, two years, almost two years.

786
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 5: That means they went through last year a playoff season

787
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 5: without beating a team with a winning record.

788
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: I have to verify that. I gotta fact check that.

789
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 5: But they're usually right on things, and that is interesting

790
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 5: to me. But what about taking on the Dolphins?

791
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 2: ND?

792
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 5: They all have the Jets next week. They just lost

793
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 5: a Green bayk cold weather. I joked that we should

794
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 5: turn up the air conditioning here and get the temperature

795
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 5: below forty degrees.

796
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: But I don't think that's going to happen.

797
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 5: So thoughts on taking on to a tungue of ioloa wattle.

798
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 5: You got Tyreek Hill, you got a lot of weapons.

799
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 5: He got to deal with moster. You gotta deal with

800
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 5: a chan, You gotta deal with all these guys, you

801
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 5: know what.

802
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 2: I know, Miami's five and seven.

803
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 7: And earlier in the segment, we were talking about if

804
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 7: the Texans beat Miami and if something else happens, they

805
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 7: secure the division. Something about Miami, and again, it could

806
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 7: just be the few games that I watched were their

807
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 7: best games. If they beat the Dolphins, I don't care

808
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 7: what else is going on. To me, that's a quality win.

809
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 7: And again, I know they have a losing record, but

810
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 7: just all the weapons that you mentioned in Tua, you know,

811
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 7: he's called fire, especially since he's come back from his

812
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 7: you know, his concussion, there have been games where you're like, oh, wow,

813
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 7: they really missed him. I didn't realize how bad their

814
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 7: record was until I was looking at it last night,

815
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 7: looking at the Texans ex opponent. But man, I think

816
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 7: that would be a quality win if they could beat

817
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 7: the Dolphins because they do have firepower. I still think

818
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 7: Mike McDaniel is a creative coach, a good coach, and

819
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 7: I hope this thing doesn't take off. The whole Miami

820
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,240
Speaker 7: Dolphins have not beat a team with a winning record,

821
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 7: because man, when those things take off, they kind of

822
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 7: become the bulletin board material for the other team and

823
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,959
Speaker 7: you don't want them, you know, not to keep bringing

824
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 7: up Philadelphia. But one year we're playing the Tampa Bay

825
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 7: Buccaneers with Mike Allstard and that great defense and the whole,

826
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 7: you know, the whole the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have never

827
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 7: at that time, it was, never won a game when

828
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 7: it was like below forty degrees and the weather was

829
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 7: you know, all week they're saying that it's gonna be

830
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 7: twenty below or ten below, and the whole fan base was, Oh,

831
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 7: the Eagles are just gonna win. And when we went

832
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 7: out for warm ups and it was twenty below and

833
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 7: Mike Alstott was out there with a shirt, he had

834
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 7: no shirt on, I was like, Oh, it's gonna be

835
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 7: a long day. They ended up beating us. So I'm

836
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 7: just hoping this whole thing doesn't take off to where

837
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 7: the Dolphins locker room starts reading the press clippings that

838
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 7: they haven't beat a team with a winning record in

839
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 7: over two years.

840
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: But you know what they're wrong. Memes is wrong. The

841
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: Memes is wrong. Memes they beat the Cowboys last night.

842
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 5: They beat the Cowboys, And I think Memes just looks

843
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 5: at the Cowboys so negatively that that is.

844
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: Exactly what it is.

845
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 3: That's how Memes season Cowboys like they couldn't have been

846
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 3: twelve and five last year, but that Cowboys were twelve They.

847
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: Were winning team last year. You got to give them

848
00:40:59,440 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: that credit.

849
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 2: Uh.

850
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 3: And I'll ask you this hopefully I say this properly.

851
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: But is momentum a real thing for players.

852
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 3: And teams in that you because I was thinking about

853
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 3: the Cowboys is what made me think about this, because

854
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 3: they the night we beat them on Monday night. You know,

855
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 3: everything went right in the second half of the Texans.

856
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 3: They end up winning the game. The Cowboys come back

857
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 3: and they beat two teams and then they're not great teams.

858
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 3: But Michael Parson said after the game, he said, we're

859
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 3: gonna run this thing out, We're gonna win. It just

860
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 3: felt like two wins kind of buoyed their confidence that

861
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 3: they've got momentum. Now, is that a real thing for players?

862
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 3: Is that kind of play in in an NFL locker room, like, Hey, yeah,

863
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,919
Speaker 3: we got the momentum? Is that is that a real

864
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 3: thing you think for teams and players?

865
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely?

866
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,959
Speaker 7: And I think it's it's a little more intangible, John

867
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 7: Where And you know this. You you played where you

868
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 7: can't really put your finger on it, and it's not

869
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 7: like the guys in the locker room are saying, hey, man,

870
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 7: let's pick up where we left off last game. But

871
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 7: when things start to go right, you notice the ball

872
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 7: starts to bounce your way where if you punch out,

873
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 7: you do the Peanut Tillman punch out of the ball

874
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 7: and the defender, you know, into your team's hands, and

875
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 7: you know, you just start playing with an extra set

876
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 7: of confidence. I absolutely believe in momentum and just that

877
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 7: feeling of knowing that, hey, as soon as we step

878
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 7: out on the field, because of what we've done over

879
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 7: the last couple of games, we could win any game.

880
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 2: And you're not as tight.

881
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 7: You know, when you're in those momentum streets, you're not

882
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 7: playing as tight. You're playing loose, you're not practicing as tight.

883
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 7: You know, you're practicing hard, but with a smile on

884
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 7: your face and things just start to go your way.

885
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 7: I absolutely believe in that.

886
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 4: That's our dude in d Kalou.

904
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 3: as we look back at one hell of a week thirteen.

905
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 3: Now we know how Thanksgiving went. We know the Lions

906
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 3: got a gift from Matt Eberflus and the Bears, and

907
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 3: it costs Matt Eberflus his job. They won twenty three

908
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 3: to twenty. The Lions did that improved them to eleven

909
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 3: and one on the season. As the Lies get that win,

910
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 3: held on. Cowboys then held on for a twenty seven

911
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 3: to twenty win over the drew lock led Giants. And

912
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 3: then the Packers beat the Dolphins thirty to seventeen. Now

913
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 3: that game was a little closer than thirty to seventeen.

914
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 3: In fact, the Dolphins I believe were driving to make

915
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 3: it a was it a twenty four to seventeen or

916
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 3: twenty seven twenty kind of game? Then the Packers at Interception,

917
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 3: Packers with the nine to three.

918
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 4: Now two of the.

919
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 3: Three of those games went one score or seven points

920
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 3: are under Then we moved to Black Friday, and I

921
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 3: was actually listening to this game as I was driving,

922
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,439
Speaker 3: But the Chiefs moved to eleven and one. Even though

923
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 3: the Raiders were driving for a game winning field goal

924
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 3: there in field goal Territory botched a snap connell threw

925
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 3: for two touchdowns.

926
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 4: He was fantastic. He threw three hundred and forty yards.

927
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 3: Brock Bauers was great, ten catches, run, four yards and touchdown,

928
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 3: but the Chiefs somehow eaked out a win. After the

929
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,919
Speaker 3: Bots snapped nineteen seventeen, the Raiders fall at two to ten,

930
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 3: even though Aidan O'Connell looked really, really good in the process.

931
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 4: Now Sunday, it was all kinds.

932
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 3: Of one score games, and we'll start in New England,

933
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 3: where the New England Patriots had a twenty four to

934
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 3: seventeen lead, but then on a nineteen play sixty six

935
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 3: yard drive, Anthony Richardson took the Colts down, threw a

936
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 3: touchdown pass to Alec Pierce that made twenty four to
