I am John Harris, football analyst and 22 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: Saber reporter, less than forty eight hours away from heading 23 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: to Cleveland for the first time in six years now. 24 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,279 Speaker 1: We've seen the Browns twice and at SPAN in twenty 25 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: seventeen twenty eighteen, but both of those were at Energy Stadium. 26 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: We are now going to first Energy Field, I think 27 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: is what it's called to take on the Cleveland Browns now. 28 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: I don't know about the Dog Pound and all that. 29 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: I know they've got limited fan involvement in the stadium, 30 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: so it'll be interesting to see and hopefully we all 31 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: stage dry. Hopefully we've had a rain. The only we 32 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: had four road games. The only game that we didn't 33 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: have rain it was Pittsburgh. Pittser was beautiful all day long. 34 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: But we've had rained every other stop. Not massive downpours, 35 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: but enough to keep you soaked for the rest of 36 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: the day. Jacksonville is close. I it was very close 37 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville floor because I've lived there, I know the 38 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: weather and it's kind of like here, you get this 39 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: shower for like five minutes and it done. In that case, 40 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: Jacksonville I was walking near the moat and I was 41 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: about to walk out of the East Club down the stairs, 42 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it poured for like two 43 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: minutes and then stopped. And then it did a little 44 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: bit a little bit later and then stopped. Cleveland, it 45 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: looks like it might be gone before the game starts, 46 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: so hopefully that is the case. But natural surface, so 47 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: any sort of rain is gonna, I don't know, slow 48 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: up the team in some way, shape or form, but 49 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: it probably will help the Browns, given the fact that 50 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: Browns have the better running game. But we'll see how 51 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: this all goes. On Sunday twelve here in Houston one pm. 52 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: If you are up in Cleveland going into the game, 53 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: it's one pm. They are Eastern Standard time up in Cleveland. 54 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: And I like going Cleveland. The last time we went there, 55 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: like I said, was twenty fourteen. That was one of 56 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: my favorite trips. Talked about it with Mark Vannimer. I 57 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: think maybe last night the Browns were six and three. 58 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: This one a lot of people forget the Browns were 59 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: six and three. Mike Petton was head coach, Kyle Shanahan 60 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: was the offensive coordinator, and they were getting it done. 61 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: They were six and three. Brian Horrier had just gone 62 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: to the Falcons I think the week before and had 63 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: a huge come from behind victory. And then we come 64 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: in and I think I want to say we were 65 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: coming off of bye. Yeah, we were. We were coming 66 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: off of bye. Because the first day out of the bye, 67 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: that money out of the bye. Bill O'Brien announced that 68 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: Ryan Mallett was gonna be the starting quarterback going forward. 69 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: So Malla had a couple of weeks to get ready 70 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: for that one. So we go up there, we're starting 71 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: Ryan Mallett and he throws this first NFL touchdown passed 72 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: to wide receiver JJ Watt, which is kind of odd 73 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: and weird in some ways, but Wat made a great catch. 74 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: Wat got two roughing the punter penalties, I think on 75 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: consecutive drives. Then he had a huge four fumble sack. Later, 76 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: Maulot threw a laser touchdown to Garrett Graham and we 77 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: walked out of there with a big victory and then 78 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: got on a plane and album never forget that. We 79 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: got on a plane and the plane was just raucous. 80 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: It was unlike any of the trips we had, even 81 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: though we had won it was just raucous and it 82 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: was all like I turned to market some point I 83 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: was like this, z it man, we got our quarterback. 84 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: This is where we're gonna play with him. This is 85 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: gonna be awesome. And then one week later Cincinnati we 86 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: circled the drain. Malt was hurt out for the year, 87 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: went back to Fitzy, and yeah, fitz he played pretty 88 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: well actually, But I just remember that trip to Cleveland 89 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: being a really good one. So here's hoping Sunday turns 90 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: into that kind of trip. On the way home, Texas 91 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: two and six, Browns five and three at the midway mark, 92 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: and Thursday night, if you missed it, Indianapolis Colts went 93 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: into Nashville and put a Hurton on the Tennessee Titans 94 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: thirty four to seventeen. So both of them are six 95 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: and three, but the Colts have the edge because the 96 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: Colts won in Nashville. Now, the Titans last year when 97 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: they went to Indianapolis, Indianapolis was going to kick a 98 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: field goal to take a twenty seventeen lead. Tennessee blocked it, 99 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: ran it back, took a twenty four seventeen lead. The 100 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: Tannehill hit calif Raymond for a touchdown. They came out 101 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: of There were thirty one seventeen win at Indie last year, 102 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: and you never know it's gonna happen with Indeed because 103 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: they're up and down. Kind of arrived a wave of 104 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. But last night it was special teams. Trevor Daniel, 105 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: former Texas punter, shanked one for about seventeen yards. Colts 106 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: scored after that take the lead. Then EJ. Speed blocked 107 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: the Trevor Daniel punt that went for a touchdown to 108 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: t J. Kerry that gave them a twenty seven seventeen 109 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: lead and it was over. Tennessee did not score in 110 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: the second half. Tennessee didn't even move all in the 111 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: second half, and the Colts jumped all over them. So 112 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: both teams heading it to the weekend six and three, 113 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: and I know there's is their hope. No I don't. 114 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to say no, Um, I don't. Who knows. 115 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: Here's the thing you can do. You just win the 116 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: next game. Just win the next game one or another 117 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: this week. You can't be you can't be five and 118 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: zero winning next five in a row this week, So 119 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: just win this one against Cleveland and it won't be easy. 120 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: Cleveland favored by three about right at home you get 121 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: three points, so they're thinking these teams, even though the 122 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: records are vastly different, are pretty close. So we'll keep 123 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: an eye on all of that. All right, We've got 124 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: plenty of the show tonight. We've got a deep slant 125 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: one on one spotsored biax Afinity. That is with DBC 126 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: of course, and she sat down with Safety justin read. 127 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: We'll also have Drew Doherty with the final word later 128 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: in the show, and that is going to be with 129 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: Terrell Adams. It was nice to hear he had Terrell 130 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: do twelve questions the other night does Drews doesn't, But 131 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: today kind of dive into the matchup a little bit more. 132 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: Which's final word? In our last segment, I'll give you 133 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: first Community Credit Union, first glance keys to the game 134 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: for this one against the Browns, and then I will 135 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: also get all my predictions for the NFL weekend. I 136 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: probably would have gone with the Cults last night, so 137 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a win. And it was a one point. 138 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: The Cults are favored by one. I asked John McClain 139 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: where we did our Thursday night show. Did you do 140 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: you think that this is wrong? And it showed last 141 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: night it was definitely not wrong. It was just too low. 142 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: The cults were dominant throughout the game, so we got 143 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: plenty to do on the show tonight. Oh and while 144 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: Little Texans Audio jukebox where reintroduced to newest Texan Josh McCown, 145 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: and I set it on these airwaves probably I think 146 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: a week ago or two weeks ago that I wanted 147 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: Josh mccount in this organization some way, shape or form. 148 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,119 Speaker 1: Now I'm thinking as a coach. But if he comes 149 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: in and he's got to step in in some way, 150 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: shape or form, I'm okay with that. I told you 151 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: I gave you homework a sign a few weeks ago 152 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: on Josh McCown. Go watch episode eight, I think it was. 153 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: That's the last episode, and then go find the episode 154 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: I think it's five or six where mccount is featured. 155 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: You'll fall in love with the guy if you haven't already, 156 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: even all you Stephen F. Austin people, you'll fall in 157 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: love with him too, even though he went to the 158 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: same US in the state. So anyhow, Josh mccownt in 159 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: the building. We'll hear from him later in the show, 160 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: what you merciless talk today about dealing with the COVID 161 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: and what he thought about Josh McCown being there. So 162 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: we have a little Texans audio jukebox a little later 163 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: in the show. But right now, let's get it. Let's 164 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: get into our hot a reads and they are brought 165 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: to you by Geico, and Geico is coming with some 166 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: good news.

So he sat 173 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: down today with interim head coach Romeo Cornell to talk 174 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: about the Browns going back to Cleveland and everything involved 175 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: this game on Sunday. Mark, So, coach, what's it been 176 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: like getting ready for the Cleveland Browns? They started the 177 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: season running the football so well, I know the injury 178 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 1: that schub slowed them down a bit, but what about 179 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: stopping that ground game in this one? Well, stopping the 180 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: ground game is always important, particularly for us since we 181 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: haven't been great at it. So we're gonna have to 182 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: do a good job against their running backs. And you know, 183 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: they got two of them now who run very well, 184 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: and so we're gonna have to load it up a 185 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: little bit. I think that they will realize that that's 186 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: what we have to do, and so we're gonna see 187 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,599 Speaker 1: play action passes, bluelegs, you know, to take advantage of 188 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: the linebackers trying to feel the run. So if we 189 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: can stop the run, that will take a lot of 190 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 1: pressure off the linebackers so they don't have to feel 191 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: as fast and then be able to get bodies in 192 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: that underneath throwing area. Coaches Baker mayfield one of those 193 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: quarterbacks similar to Watson in this way that you have 194 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: the play that's called, but it's also what happens after 195 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: whatever's called my breakdown, where he can improvise and run 196 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: or throw outside the pocket. Well, he has those capabilities, yes, 197 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: But one thing I've noticed about Baker this time is 198 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: that he seems to be very familiar and comfortable with 199 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: the offensive scheme that they're running, and he operates very 200 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: well within that scheme, and so he doesn't run as 201 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: much as he used to run. You know. Now, if 202 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: the protection breaks down or something like that, or if 203 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: everybody's covered and you give him a lane, then he'll 204 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: pull it down and run with it. But he's more 205 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: than willing now to take what the defense gets him, 206 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: and he'll throw it many times. Coach, last week, I 207 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: hate to talk about last week, but you ran for 208 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: over one hundred yards and that's a pretty decent number 209 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: as a team. I know you want to see more. 210 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: But what about the Texans ability to move the ball 211 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: on the ground, Coach, Well, you know, it's always difficult 212 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: when you play in in a weather situation, whether it's 213 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: just rain or whether it's coal and whatever it is. 214 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: And teams that play in November and December outdoors usually 215 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: they have good running attacks because they know that, you know, 216 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: throwing the ball consistently it's not always the best thing 217 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: to do if there's weather, you know. So if we 218 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: can generate that running attack and be good at it, 219 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: I think that that will take a lot of pressure 220 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: off us and put more pressure on their defense. What 221 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: about strategy and the kicking game as far as weather, 222 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: is that the kind of thing you evaluate right before 223 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: the game, just to see how things are going with 224 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: kicks and wind and how it affects everything definitely. You know, 225 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: you go out and sometimes you go out early to 226 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: see what's happening with your direction. The wind is blowing, 227 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,359 Speaker 1: if there's rain, how much rain, and how that impacts 228 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: the moisture on the ball, you know, and then what's 229 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: the direction that when it's going, where it's going to crossfield, 230 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: whether it's going up and down the field, and then 231 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 1: you have to make some decisions depending on that. Coach, 232 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. Best of luck against Cleveland. 233 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: He thank you. Mark. All right, let's get to our 234 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: next hot read, and that is going to be a 235 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: little bit of a COVID nineteen update, but now with 236 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: the Texans, it's with the Browns. Earlier this morning, there 237 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: were a number of statements put out, actually one statement 238 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: put out from the Cleveland Browns saying that they were 239 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: going to shut the building down today because an individual 240 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: in the building had tested positive for COVID. A while later, 241 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: they gave up another statement that said we have found 242 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: that the through contract tracing, no other people are involved 243 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: in this, un like it was for the Texans. And 244 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: then they placed offensive lineman Chris Hubbard on the COVID 245 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: nineteen list. Now, Hubbard has been starting at guard for 246 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: Wyatt Teller, and I would imagine why Teller's gonna be 247 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: back for this one, but Hubbard's been in that guard 248 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: spot for Teller at certain points this year. But Hubbard 249 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: now goes into COVID nineteen list. But lucky for the Browns, 250 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: they didn't have any contact tracing that affected other players 251 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: like with the Texans it with Jacob Martin, Woody Merciless 252 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: and Dylan Cole got caught in that. They were able 253 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: to come back after five days. So now Hubbard will 254 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: be away from the team, I believe it for ten days. 255 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: Actually he's got a test positive, of course, but that 256 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: takes a little hit at the depth of the offensive 257 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: line of the Browns. But at least with Wyatt Teller 258 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: coming back for the Browns, they should be good to go. 259 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: But I know when I saw that, friend first thought it's, oh, gosh, 260 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: does that have any games off. No, they got back 261 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: in the building later this afternoon and they're getting ready 262 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: for the Texans, and so everything shouldn't be a go 263 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: for Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, even with that COVID 264 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: nineteen positive test for Chris Hubbard alignment for the Cleveland Browns. Now, 265 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: let's get to our last hot read, and that is 266 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: always the status report for this game. Who's in, who's out, 267 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: and how who's questionable or doubtful? All Right, On the 268 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: Texans side, you're gonna have two players out, Sneil Calimente 269 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: and David Johnson, both dealing with the concussions they sustained 270 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: in the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The other two 271 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: are questionable, those being Dylan Cole and Charles Amna who 272 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: Now on the Brown side, the one thing that we're 273 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: going to keep an eye on is Nick Chubb. Kevin 274 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: Stefanski held his press interview his interview today. Like I 275 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: said earlier, they moved everything back because they had the 276 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: COVID situation, so they moved things back. And Nick Chubb 277 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: is back at practice this week. He is he was 278 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: on ir injured knee and he got into that practice 279 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: winning a twenty one day window. And Stefanski said today 280 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: at his press junket, if you will is he's not 281 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: totally sure yet. He has seen Nick make the strides 282 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: that they expected and they still want to talk it 283 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: over with the medical staff because they want to be 284 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: totally sure. So still no complete status on Nick Chubb, 285 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: but he is available, but they don't have to make 286 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: that declaration. And my point with that is Cream Hunt 287 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: on his own very good running back. There's a lot 288 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: for the Browns, no doubt the Lee Russian the league 289 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: I think three or four years ago. But you put 290 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt with now a healthy and rested Nick Chubb. 291 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: That run game averages one hundred and fifty yards per game. 292 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: It's one of the best in the league. And now 293 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: you're getting the bell cow back. Yikes. I kind of 294 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: want Nick to just take the day off. Just one 295 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: more week. One more week is all we need from 296 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: your Nick Chubb. But either way, that's the one we'll 297 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: keep an eye on through the weekend. But as of 298 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: now it is still weight. And see now, my thought 299 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: on it is probably pretty much the same as Anthony Weavers, 300 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: and that is we're planning on him to play, and 301 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: I would if he doesn't, all right, well we gotta 302 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: face Cream Hunt. It's just kind of the same philosophy, 303 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: and that is, you gotta right in your lunch box, 304 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: your lunch pail, on your hard hat and go to 305 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: work and use everything you've got in your body to 306 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: bring those guys down, because it is not easy. So 307 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye on Nick Chubb for the Browns. 308 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: He's really the only key player to kind of keep 309 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: an eye on this week. For the Houston Texans, they 310 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: get ready to take on Cleveland on Sunday.

Who's the most disruptive on zoom? 356 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: Who's always got the dog barking or the kids crying 357 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: zoom calls? Yeah, man, that's a good question. It's probably 358 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,239 Speaker 1: gonna be a j. Moore, Key Keon Crossing and one 359 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: of the two man the Dynamic Tandem man and especially scenes, 360 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: but it won't be one of those guys. For the show. 361 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: Guys are characters. That's really funny because Eric thought it 362 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: would be him. He's like, I've got a dog I've 363 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: got a baby. He's like, it's just that he was 364 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: saying it was it was probably going to be him. Yeah. 365 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: Even Murray pretty solid about, you know, turning the mute 366 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: on and off whenever he needed, you know, whenever you're 367 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: speaking and not speaking. All right, let's talk about you. 368 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: How's year three going for you? Obviously it's not the 369 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: season anyone expected, but for you personally, You've had some 370 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: big plays this year. You've blocked a field goal against 371 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: the Titans, you had that big fourth down stop against Jacksonville. 372 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 1: Tell me, now, it's been going for you so far? 373 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: I feel like I made a couple of players. I 374 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: feel like I've grown a lot in the three years 375 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: being here on the middle side of the game, just 376 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: understanding professional football, how offenses generically work, especially getting in 377 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: our division rivals, and what their strengths and weaknesses are. 378 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: We're all not exactly happy about where we are right now. 379 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: You know, still a lot to fight for this season 380 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: and still a ways ago, Still got a bunch of 381 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: games to play, including an exciting one this week against Cleveland. 382 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: So just still chopping away at it. Seem that ways 383 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: we can get better. Me challenging myself the way that 384 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: can be better. One of the ways that I feel 385 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: like a side from my own play that I've really 386 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: grown this year is just the leadership and be in 387 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: the room and trying to raise the level of play 388 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: of the guys around me and be that voice and 389 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: you know, help teach them the way that I was 390 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: taught by the Vets my rookie year in Kareem and 391 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,719 Speaker 1: Tyring and Johnathan Joseph and be that guy for the 392 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: new guys coming in. I mean, I can't help but 393 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: think about JJ and your third years, because JJ first 394 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 1: two years the Texans made the playoffs. The third year 395 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: was a really disappointing season in twenty thirteen, and you 396 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: were here for the eighteen and twenty nineteen where the 397 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: Texans also won the division and made the playoffs. So 398 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 1: this is got to kind of a surprise for you. Yeah, weird. Yeah, 399 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: I didn't even know it happened, just like JJ, justin right. 400 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: So well, maybe I'll get to one hundred sexs too, 401 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: you know. I mean that's the trend that is going. 402 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: How has it been with Romeo Cornell? I know you 403 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: guys have had a lot of experience with him, and 404 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: you know he takes over the team. He's obviously done 405 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: a lot for the defense in recent years, but what's 406 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: the leadership been like under him so far? All the 407 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: guys in the room love brack Man. He just has 408 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: some special about the way that he coaches that brings 409 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: the juice, brings the energy. I mean, everyone remembers the 410 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: video that went around whenever he was dancing after the 411 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: Jaguars win the first time. He just really knows how 412 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: to get the juice and energy out of the guys 413 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: and get guys really excited to be on the field 414 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: and play football and play physical and play hard and thing. 415 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: He's done a great job, you know. And he's a 416 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: defensive guy too, which I enjoyed being on the defensive 417 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: side of the guy. So he's really started, you know, 418 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: challenging the defense on being better and you know what 419 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: I mean, making more plays and getting for it down 420 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: stops and raising that level will play overall. He said 421 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: that you've really settled into your role, that you're playing 422 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: more in the box these days in these last few games, 423 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: and you've done really well. You've got some tackles and 424 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: you seem really comfortable there. How how has that been 425 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: for you adjusting to your role. We've put in a 426 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: new scheme this year, and with the covers that you've 427 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,479 Speaker 1: been running with, all the cover threes and everything, and um, 428 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,479 Speaker 1: I have I've settled into it. I feel comfortable in defense. 429 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: I've really started to get a feel for it, especially 430 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. But just continuing to build 431 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: on that, you know, I mean there's always ways that 432 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: you know, we can keep with the disguises, make things 433 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: a little bit better, you know what I mean, Cristoper 434 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: dropping things like that. But I have settled into the role. 435 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm starting to have more fun making a couple more 436 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,479 Speaker 1: plays in that role down though, and having a good 437 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: time doing it. What is it that you like playing 438 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: in the box so much? Is it that you're closer 439 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: to the ball? Is that you get to land a 440 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: few more hits? What is it about that? Like, it's 441 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: just a lot more actionally, you know it, get to 442 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 1: be a little bit more instinctive being close to the ball, 443 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: Get to fit in the run a lot more. You know, 444 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: you get to do a little bit of everything. Get 445 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: the blitz off the edge. I didn't get get the 446 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: blitz nearly as much my first two years. I get 447 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: to do now with all the exotic patterns that coach 448 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: Wei is putting in. So I had fun with it. 449 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: So when training camp started, you had to get used 450 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: to Eric Murray playing alongside you, which which you guys 451 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: did really well. But then throughout the course of the 452 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: season there's been a lot more changes, either with injury 453 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: or Whatnotum, Eric Murray's playing a little bit more nickel. 454 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: You've got Lonnie Johnson at safety, with everyone else transitioning 455 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: around you, How has that made your job a little 456 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: bit harder? What if you had to do to sort 457 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: of adjust to that. Well, for me, it's just been 458 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: about staying flexible, staying versatile. One of my strong points 459 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: is I really know the defense extremely well and every 460 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: position in it. So whenever injuries happened or anything happens 461 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 1: where we got to switch a guy around, I really 462 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: feel comfortable with switching playing in the deep part of 463 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: the field, down low, maybe even the start if the 464 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: team needs me to do that too. So we got 465 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: a couple of guys that are flexible and dynamic and 466 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: you know, have versus toll abilities that they're able to 467 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: move around positions. So for me, it's just about putting 468 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: everybody in the best place possible for the defense to 469 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 1: be side and make plays. So specifically for me, that's 470 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 1: playing whatever role that coach we've asked me to play 471 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: right now is playing down in the box, and I 472 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 1: have fun doing that. But whatever happens, you know, injuries happen, 473 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: the whole COVID situation happens. Guys have to move around sometimes, 474 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: and I'm comfortable doing that too. I mean, I've seen 475 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: you a lot out and about in the community. You 476 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 1: talk about being a good communicator. I know things are 477 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: different this year. Everything's virtual, but you have made some appearances. 478 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: You've talked to some local high schools. You've been really 479 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: passionate about getting out the vote and social justice initiatives. 480 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: What part of that aspect you like so much? What 481 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: are some of your message has been to the youth 482 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: around Houston. Yeah, Well, whenever I was a kid, I 483 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: had a bunch of role models and aisles that I 484 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: looked up to an athletic world, and now I'm on 485 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: the other side of that, and it's really cool and 486 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: not take that responsibility seriously, you know, still get back 487 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: and be that guy that when talked to a high 488 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: school team because that's something that those young men are 489 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: never going to forget, you know what I mean. And 490 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: Pele will just affect a couple of them and you know, 491 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: inspire them to be better, to put in a better effort, 492 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: or maybe even inspire them to grow up one day 493 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: and do the same thing what I did for them, 494 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: for them to do for the next generation after them. 495 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: You know, that's what I really seek to do. So 496 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: it's always been a big initiative of mine. You want 497 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: to be out and be active in a community and 498 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: make a difference, and that's what intend to keep doing. 499 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: I think it's really interesting because it's not just sports 500 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: that you're talking about. You're also very accomplished obviously having 501 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: gone to Stanford. You're pursuing your engineering degree. So you know, 502 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: there's a lot of options for kids these days. They 503 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: don't have to just be athletes, because not everyone's going 504 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: to be a professional football player. But you can really 505 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: drive home to stay in school. Steady hard message. What 506 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: about you and John Reid. You've got two engineers now 507 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: are aspiring engineering. Reid's got another Jay Reid. He's got 508 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: an engineering degree. And everyone makes fun of me for 509 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: always wanting to talk about engineering, because it's something I'm 510 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: passionate about. But do you have you two talked about that? 511 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: Jay Reid is and I say, young Jay Reid, he's 512 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: actually ordered me. But yeah, uh, he's very passionate. He's 513 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: a very smart guy. I mean, anytime you hold a 514 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: conversation with him, you can tell how intellectual and cerebral 515 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: that he is as a player. Um, and I think 516 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: that's really paying dividends for him and coming into an 517 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 1: NFL season where he didn't have the opportunity and reps 518 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: for in training camp. You know, there was no OTAs, 519 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: there really wasn't a real training camp. Um. But he's 520 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: done a good job coming in just because he is 521 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: so smart and being able to still learn the playbook 522 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: and adapt. And I think he's going to be continue 523 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: to build and get better and he's gonna be a 524 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: good player for us. All Right, So Sunday, you guys 525 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: faced Baker Mayfield and the Browns. You were here obviously 526 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: when Baker was a rookie, it was it was your 527 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: rookie year as well. What do you remember about him 528 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: and how much has he changed? Yeah? I felt like 529 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: a lot's changed. I feel like their offensive lines a 530 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: little bit better. He had a couple more weapons with them. 531 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: Odell I wish I did get to play against in 532 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: this game because I love the challenger, you know, I 533 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: mean playing as talented guys m But Odell is down, 534 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: but he still has a bunch of talent around, and 535 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: David and Joku in awesome Hooper and Jarvis Landry and 536 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: the two dynamic running backs they have in Chubb and Hunt. 537 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: I felt like he's grown on the middle side of 538 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: the game, still not afraid to make throws. But I 539 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,439 Speaker 1: still remember the last time he played, and that we're 540 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: able to make a couple of turn over opportunities as 541 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: well too, Zach Cunningham having to pick six of force 542 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: a fumble on the goal line. So we just got 543 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: to keep making those explosive plays on the defensi side 544 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: of the ball as well as on the offensive side 545 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: of the ball like we did last week. All Right, 546 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: something you two have in common. You both make commercials. 547 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he's probably got a few more on you, 548 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: but I actually like his commercials. They're pretty funny. The 549 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: ones in the stadium we saw about it lost my 550 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: kids home. Yeah, yeah, gars are pretty good too. Justin 551 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: don't sell yourself short. How do you think overall in 552 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: your commercial debut? Yeah, I mean I have fun. Um. 553 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: Hib always does a great job every year with the 554 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: commercials that they put out, and I had a lot 555 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,719 Speaker 1: of fun shooting it with the Shine and I'm enjoyed 556 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: just making just going out and being and having fun 557 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: with those guys. Well, we always have fun. Catching up 558 00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: with you justin best of luck for the rest of 559 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: the season. Much problem. Speaking of cool, that man is 560 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: very cool. That is justin Reeds starting safety in his 561 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: third year, hoping to get that defense on track against 562 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns. Now, it's a Browns 563 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 1: skill set without OBJ, and I don't know how that's 564 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: going to impact them too much. I saw them score 565 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: thirty seven points. It gets the Cincinnati Bengals without OBJ 566 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: because guys like Donovan People's, Jones, Harrison, Bryant, David and Joku. 567 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: Those guys all stepped up and made plays. So from 568 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: that perspective, I'm not saying you don't need OBJ. Be 569 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: nice to have him, but they've got other weapons that 570 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: they can rely on. Not to mention a ground game 571 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: that is just ready to bury you. Man. Offensive line 572 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty. If there's anything about 573 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: the Browns that has just gone through the roof twenty 574 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: eighteen and offensive line was not good twenty twenty, oh baby, 575 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: they will not your block off. And look, they're running 576 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: a lot of that zone game that was popular with 577 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: with Mike Shanahan, Gary Kubiak kind of in that tree. 578 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski learned a lot from Gary Kubiak, and he's 579 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: employed that they don't do that solely. That's not the 580 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: only thing they do. It's not inside outside split. They're 581 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: doing a lot of different things. They'll run a few 582 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: gap plays and tackle wraps and things like that. But 583 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,239 Speaker 1: the one other thing we'll do is run a lot 584 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: of trick plays. We're gonna get into that in just 585 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: a little bit with our first community credit Union first 586 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: glance keys to the game, and those are coming up 587 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: next right here on Texas All Access.

More than once? I 597 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: bet because it just adds up. For example, there are two, 598 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: not one, great reasons to fill up with Chevron with 599 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: Tekron Number one unbeatable cleaning power, a number two or 600 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: maybe this should be number one unbeatable mileage. Plus Chevron 601 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: puts Tekron in every grade every gallant of their gasoline. 602 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: So that's two, no way, three unbeatable reasons to go 603 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: with the one and only Chevron with Tekron care for 604 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: your car. What do you call a group of friends 605 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: who spend every Sunday huddled around the TV for hours, 606 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: wearing horns on their heads and blue and red paint 607 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: on their faces, jumping with a Miller light in one 608 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: hand and a hot barbecue short rib and the other, 609 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: while proudly chanting we are Texans.

Saturday nights at ten 624 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: thirty or after the late local news on ABC third Dean, Oh, Yeah, 625 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: here we go on a Friday Nation of Texans All Access. 626 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: I am your host, John Harris, football analysts and sideline reporter, 627 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: and it's time for this week's first Community Credit Union 628 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: First Glance Keys to the game FCCU, the Official Credit 629 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: Union of the Houston Texans. All Right, each and every 630 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: week I dive right in. This is the segment where 631 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: it is we're gonna tuck football and heavy football. Not 632 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: that we do on any other segments, but this one 633 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: is all about ball, no fluff, no pop culture references, 634 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: so maybe there might be a few. This is what 635 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: we do in the segment. We give the keys to 636 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: the game on both sides of the ball. Now, Cleveland 637 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: Browns five and three on the year, playing pretty good football, 638 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: is a great football. They've beaten the teams they should 639 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: have beaten. Probably the one that's maybe a little bit 640 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: of a surprise but not really when he saw the 641 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: game went was the Colts, but Philip Rivers is just 642 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: turn the ball over. The offense really couldn't get anything 643 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: going for the Colts in that one, and it probably 644 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: was the Browns I would think best overall win. But 645 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: other than that, they've beat the teams they're supposed to beat. 646 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: They've lost the teams like the Steelers thirty eight to 647 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: seven at Pittsburgh. So if you're kind of playing transitive property, like, hey, 648 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: wait a second, the Texans lost twenty eight twenty one. 649 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: They lost thirty eight seven. Okay, well, maybe that's why 650 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: Cleveland's only a three point favorite, which is essentially the 651 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: three you get for playing at home. So that being said, 652 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: let's dive in to these offensive keys for I'm sorry, 653 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: the defense's keys to stopping the Browns offense. Now, just 654 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: like two years ago, this offense revolves around the running game. 655 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,239 Speaker 1: Well two years ago, that's not true. They actually were 656 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: trying to revolve this thing around Baker Mayfield. He was rookie, 657 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,479 Speaker 1: everybody really excited about what he could do. And now 658 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: they've tried to five more balance in the offense and 659 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: probably leaning a little bit more towards pounding the rock. 660 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: But like I said, when they got down in that 661 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: game against Cincinnati, to bring them back and take a lead, 662 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: then lead again and takul the third time, it was 663 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield shooting that pill all over the field. This 664 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: team averages one hundred and fifty yards per game on 665 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: the ground. That's fifth in the NFL. Now, they did 666 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,919 Speaker 1: a lot of that the first four games of the year, 667 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: or the first few games of the year when they 668 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: had Nick Chubb healthy. They haven't quite gotten into those numbers. 669 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: The last last few weeks. But one hundred fifty yards 670 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: per game is fifty in the NFL. They get chubbed back, 671 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: and that's gonna be a valid number because they were 672 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: running for that when they had Chubb and Kareem Hunt 673 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,439 Speaker 1: in the lineup. They thrown for one hundred and ninety 674 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: six point eight yards per game. That's twenty ninth in 675 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: the league. That's brock Oswili or in again, neither or 676 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: because when twenty sixteen you looked up and you're like, okay, 677 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: the offense is over one hundred and twenty five yards 678 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: rushing would have thrown for one hundred and forty yards 679 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: or something like that. I think we threw for hunder 680 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: two hundred yards at year. I believe one hundred ninety 681 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: six point eight. That's twenty ninth in the league. Total 682 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: offense three hundred forty six point eight yards per game. 683 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: That's twenty fourth in the league. They've lost ten turnovers 684 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,800 Speaker 1: in eight games. That tells me, if I do math, 685 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: that tells me that there's at least one turnover available 686 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: two someone on the Texans defense. So here we go. 687 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: Let's dive into this Brown's offense. What do the Texans 688 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,919 Speaker 1: have to do Number one. These are no certain order, 689 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: just as they come to me. I just I put 690 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: him down. Number one. Disrupt Baker in the well. When 691 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: you see Baker Mayfield, you're like, man, well short and 692 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: I expected. I think it says six two, but I 693 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,479 Speaker 1: think he's really about six one, maybe even six six feet. 694 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: I had a chance to meet him at the Big 695 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 1: twelve media days back when he's at Oklahoma twenty sixteen. 696 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,399 Speaker 1: I think it's about four four or five years ago, 697 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: I think, And I just remember standing next to him, thinking, boy, 698 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: I'm looking him running on That means he's about six feet. Well. 699 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: When the Texas that played quarterbacks six one or under 700 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, mainly they've been able to hold them in 701 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:16,760 Speaker 1: check because they essentially envelop that quarterback in the well. 702 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: They did a great job of that against Gardner Minshew 703 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: actually both times they played against him, actually the three 704 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: times they played against but mainly the time in London 705 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: and then the first game of twenty twenty the Texas 706 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: also won. They're gonna have to do that with Baker. Now, 707 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,919 Speaker 1: Keevins Stefans getting this offense, does they do a great 708 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: job of moving Baker bootlegs play actions where they move 709 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: the pocket. They do a number of different things to 710 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: get him out where he has site lines. But if 711 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 1: they're gonna straight drop, they've got to make sure that 712 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: rush envelops him the pocket to take away his site lines, 713 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,479 Speaker 1: make him throw over the top of that line. That's 714 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: gonna be tough. That's the hardest part of being a 715 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: shorter quarterback is storing over the top of all that 716 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: chaos in front of you. If the well is enveloping 717 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: him and he's gonna throw over all that, that's gonna 718 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 1: be a good thing. I think for the Texans, all right, 719 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: number two, this key is called you go this way, 720 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: I'll go that way. And this is what I mean 721 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: by that, because the Browns are so good running the 722 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: zone game. And if you remember the Texans when the 723 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: Texans ran the zone game when Arian Foster was here, 724 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 1: Arian was an absolute master at starting a zone run 725 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 1: to the left and then cutting it back behind where 726 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 1: the center Chris Myers had been. So when you get 727 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: the defensive line running and the linebackers running, and then 728 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,720 Speaker 1: you just keep them running and then let the running 729 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: back cut off all that, well, the Browns are very 730 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: good at that. Both Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb do 731 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 1: a really nice job with that. Those cut up runs, 732 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: as I call them, they're not cut back, they're more 733 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: cut up runs where you kind of stay you don't 734 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,839 Speaker 1: stay in your same path, but you just adjust your 735 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,760 Speaker 1: path and then take it up where the center had 736 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 1: been to take away those runs. This is what I 737 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: mean by you go this way, I'll go that way. 738 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,959 Speaker 1: The second level defenders can do what's called a fault. 739 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: They can fall back, and basically what that means is 740 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: the front it's when it fuels that zone blocking line 741 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: moving in a direction. Those front guys all move with 742 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: it and fast, and they try and stays. They's try 743 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: to stay on their gap integrity as much as they can, 744 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 1: and the linebackers kind of fit into those cut up lanes. 745 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 1: So it's like everybody's gap integrity kind of slides over 746 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 1: and the linebackers kind of fall back into place for 747 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: those other, you know, kind of the backside gaps. If 748 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,840 Speaker 1: the linebackers get fast flown the other way with the 749 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: defensive line, well that's easy to cut back on. Those 750 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 1: guys are cut up on those guys and they got 751 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,720 Speaker 1: big runs. Linebackers have got to fit themselves back behind 752 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,839 Speaker 1: the play and let that cut up run turn right 753 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 1: back into them. So line goes this way, linebackers go 754 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 1: the other way. Use that little fallback scheme, and you'll 755 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 1: be five number three. The bag of tricks the Browns 756 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: in the games that I watched, you name it, they've 757 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: run it. I've seen them run I don't know if 758 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: he's called jet sweep a trick play, but I've seen 759 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 1: jet sweep with a reverse pass. I've seen double not 760 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: double pass, but reverse pass thrown out the Jarvis Landry, 761 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,879 Speaker 1: he throws it back to somebody. Seen reverses. You name 762 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: the trick play, They've run it, and it's really a 763 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,760 Speaker 1: part of their offense. So it's not, I guess, a trick. 764 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 1: But you've got to mind your p's and q's. You 765 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: can't leave a guy wide open because oh it's a reverse, 766 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 1: it's a reverse. Especially we got like Jarvis Landry. They 767 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,320 Speaker 1: ran a reverse pass against the Cincinnati Bengals, and Jarvis 768 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: Landry back shoulder to ball on the sidelines. I think 769 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: it was Donald People's jones and it was one of 770 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 1: the better throws of the day. And Burrow and Mayfield 771 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: was slinging all day and I mean they were fantastic, 772 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,760 Speaker 1: and Jarvis Landry has dropped it right in a bucket 773 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: to donard people's jones. So Jarvis Landry's always a candidate 774 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,840 Speaker 1: to throw the football. And he's left handed, so anytime 775 00:39:55,880 --> 00:40:00,040 Speaker 1: he is emotioned to the left your antenna and he 776 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: to go up to think could that be a reverse pass? 777 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 1: Could it be a double pass? Those are the things 778 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: you got to keep an eye on. Kevin Stefanski likes 779 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: to pull out a few of the trick plays the 780 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: bag of tricks. Oh, they also ran remember the Texans 781 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 1: as Mark called the loop de loop flip de flop 782 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: play against the New England Patriots where they handed the duke, 783 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,839 Speaker 1: who handed the hap who pitched to shun. They've got 784 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: that play as well in the arsenal. So they got 785 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that they like to pull out 786 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: the bag of tricks. So read keys and stay on them. 787 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: Number four. This is title Jarvis is one thing that 788 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: tight ends are the other. I will never never in 789 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 1: any way, shape or for him, DENNI grade Jarvis Landry. Ever, 790 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: I think he is a fantastic wide receiver and that 791 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:46,840 Speaker 1: this is not meant to denigrade him. I think he 792 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: is a He is someone the Texans have to be 793 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,239 Speaker 1: aware of. But he's not a burner. He runs great 794 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,240 Speaker 1: routes and you just gotta be come and make the tackles, 795 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 1: unlike twenty fifteen when we didn't make the tackles playing 796 00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: him when he was with Miami, he took those things 797 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,800 Speaker 1: to the house. Yeah, so yes, Jarvis is a problem. However, 798 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: the tight ends might be an even bigger problem. Austin Hooper, 799 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: David and Joku and Harrison Bryant, who's a draft pick 800 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. All of those guys are kind of 801 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,839 Speaker 1: like wide receivers, and when they use twelve personnel, well, 802 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 1: invariably you try and match up the personnel that's gonna 803 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,960 Speaker 1: put in Joku, Hooper or Bryant out on a linebacker 804 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,919 Speaker 1: or out on a nickel, some matchup you don't want. 805 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a problem. So you've got to know 806 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,759 Speaker 1: how you're accounting for all the tight ends when they're 807 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,280 Speaker 1: on the field and what situations. Sometimes with twelve personnel, 808 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:38,840 Speaker 1: you might want to be in nickel, you may not 809 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 1: want to be in base. You may not want those 810 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,320 Speaker 1: tight ends matched up on an outside linebacker or something 811 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 1: of that magnitude, or even an inside linebacker. The tight ends, 812 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: you gotta treat you like receivers. And number five, no 813 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:54,400 Speaker 1: bust in the secondary, pure and simple. No bust no wherever. 814 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: Know how you're swapping routes in zone, know who's doing what, 815 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 1: no how you're matching up out of the bunch. No 816 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 1: bust in the secondary. Cannot give up any cheap plays. 817 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 1: Keep it in front, all right. Let's flip it over 818 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 1: to the Browns defense facing his Texans offense. They give 819 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,600 Speaker 1: up only one hundred and six point eight yards per 820 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: game on the ground. However, last week or two weeks 821 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,319 Speaker 1: ago against the Raiders, excuse me, they gave up two 822 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,359 Speaker 1: hundred nine rushing yards. Josh Jacobs hit him where where 823 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 1: they weren't and really outschemed them too. There's some good 824 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 1: plays I've seen from that game where Josh Jacobs really 825 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: had nobody there. Twelve yard game, so he was able 826 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,280 Speaker 1: to pile up a number of yards against the Browns. 827 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 1: So that one or six point eight it's okay. But 828 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: there have been teams that have just gotten to track 829 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,359 Speaker 1: meets with them, like the Bengals did, and just said 830 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:45,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna just throw it every down. We don't need 831 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 1: to run it and they didn't, So take that for 832 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: what it's worth. That's eleventh in the league passing yards. 833 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,319 Speaker 1: They give up two sixty four point six circle out 834 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 1: as a key in a second, that's twenty fourth in 835 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: the league. They give up three seventy one point four 836 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 1: that's twentieth in the league. But they have generated fourteen 837 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,800 Speaker 1: turnovers and the Browns overall are plus four in turnover margin. 838 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 1: The stars Miles Garrett, we know that he's sent a 839 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: big deal in the offseason. Then you got Denzel Ward 840 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 1: at corner, who I think is very very good. I mean, 841 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,320 Speaker 1: the first drive against the Bengals, he broke up a 842 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: past a deep downfield, he had a tackle for a 843 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 1: loss on a screen out near him, and then he 844 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,360 Speaker 1: forced the interception in the end zone where he was 845 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 1: covering a tight end who was actually blocking, so he 846 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 1: was just kind of folding the area. Joe Burrow went 847 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,359 Speaker 1: to throw it, Denzel Ward's sky tipped it picked off 848 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 1: in the end zone. That was all on the first drive. 849 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,719 Speaker 1: Denzel Ward's a fantastic player. Now it's not that way 850 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 1: across the board. It's a number one key against the 851 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: Browns defense not scared of depth. Now here's what I 852 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 1: mean by that, not the players, the personnel, like first team, 853 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 1: second team thirteen Blitzer's coming from death. I don't know 854 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: how many times I saw Kevin Johnson as the nickel 855 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: coming from one side from depth where he looked like 856 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 1: he's gonnaing coverage and then he blitzed, and then a 857 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,799 Speaker 1: backside of a defender edge defender on the other side 858 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 1: would drop. They ran, nap and blitz. I don't know 859 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 1: how many times against the Sinnati Bengals a ton you 860 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,680 Speaker 1: gotta know how you're gonna pick that up, especially when 861 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,280 Speaker 1: you're an empty. When you're an empty, you gotta figure 862 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,799 Speaker 1: it out. It'll only be four guys Russian. But if 863 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 1: you get locked on ooh that edge defender, I got 864 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 1: a lock on him, Well then he drops. How are 865 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,760 Speaker 1: you gonna account for it. I've seen the Arizona Cardinals 866 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 1: do something pretty cool that if that happens, they pew back. Basically, 867 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 1: it was an offensive linement to the other side, Like 868 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 1: if they get a drop, they immediately look to the 869 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 1: other side and then they pick up somebody over there. 870 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,759 Speaker 1: So we'll see how that happens. But you cannot be 871 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,799 Speaker 1: scared of them coming from depth. You gotta know how 872 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,280 Speaker 1: you're picking them up. Number two, Miles Garrett's a huge concern, 873 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:51,399 Speaker 1: there's no question. And in parentheses quietly though, fifty four 874 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,440 Speaker 1: is really good to fifty four is Olivier Vernon, and 875 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,799 Speaker 1: he had two sacks last week the last time against 876 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,640 Speaker 1: the Raiders. He didn't have any sacks before that. He's 877 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,799 Speaker 1: not one once was. But if he goes one on one, 878 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna get loose. At some point. You've got to 879 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,879 Speaker 1: know how you're going to contain Garrett. That's a big key. 880 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,399 Speaker 1: But who's ever one on one with Olivia Vernon's got 881 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,880 Speaker 1: to buckle down because Vernon can go after them and 882 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: make life very difficult for them. Number three, get the 883 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 1: ball fast. There's something we all want Sean to do. 884 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 1: But b this is something that quarterbacks that had success 885 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 1: against the Raiders did against the Browns did They got 886 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,920 Speaker 1: the ball out of their hands Derek Carr and Joe Burrow. 887 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 1: Ball got out hot, It came out hot, Philip Rivers 888 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 1: held onto it a little bit longer. Interceptions not the 889 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 1: whole game, but he just didn't play well. You gotta 890 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 1: take the profit. I don't care if it's nickel and dime. 891 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 1: You add up enough nickels and dimes, you're a rich person. 892 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:50,920 Speaker 1: Get the ball out, get it to your weapons, and 893 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,319 Speaker 1: let's go. Because I don't think the Browns secondary can 894 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,800 Speaker 1: cover everybody. If you get it out to him for 895 00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,319 Speaker 1: Sun to have to tackle him, I don't think they 896 00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 1: can do it. Number four, there will be he seems 897 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,360 Speaker 1: find them. Now here's what I mean. It seems in 898 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,880 Speaker 1: the run game. The Browns like to get up field. 899 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 1: Their guys love to get up field up front. That 900 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,239 Speaker 1: creates seems in the run game, and you can see 901 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 1: it against the Texans defense. Every so often you'll see 902 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,960 Speaker 1: one of the Texans fly up field trying to split 903 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,879 Speaker 1: a gap and it leaves this huge seam and then 904 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 1: invariably a running back finds it. That's what I'm asking 905 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 1: Duke Johnson the running backs to do this week. When 906 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 1: the Browns give that seam because somebody's gone up field 907 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 1: and run out of the play, exploit it. Find the seam. 908 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 1: They will be there. There will be seams. I've seen 909 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,600 Speaker 1: Vernon and Garrett run up field and the interior knocked 910 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 1: the defensive interior off the ball and the backs are 911 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 1: just saw them through twelve fifteen yard game. That's what 912 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,200 Speaker 1: the Texans need to be able to do against this 913 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 1: Cleveland defense. Furthermore, and number five, the middle can be moved. 914 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:58,239 Speaker 1: I don't think the Browns interior is filled with a 915 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 1: bunch of vice Wilforks and DJ readers. They don't have 916 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,279 Speaker 1: those kind of guys in the middle. You can move 917 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 1: them off the ball. There are a number of times 918 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 1: I saw a Bengals game with the Bengals interior which 919 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 1: is not great guards and our guard we're knocking the 920 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,719 Speaker 1: interior the Browns two two and a half yards off 921 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,360 Speaker 1: the ball and a running back could get up in 922 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,160 Speaker 1: net and then make a cut. That's what our backs 923 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,360 Speaker 1: have to be able to do. There will be seems 924 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,400 Speaker 1: find them and keep in mind, the middle can be moved. 925 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:27,879 Speaker 1: Got to run the ball, and I think they can 926 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 1: do it against this Brown's crew. But we will see. 927 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,720 Speaker 1: All right, we get back.

Think about it. 939 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 1: When you're watching the game yelling at the quarterback to 940 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,560 Speaker 1: throw the ball, throw it, Williams is wide open. Why 941 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,759 Speaker 1: are you doing this to me? Use that rocket arm? 942 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,279 Speaker 1: Come on, they don't listen to you.

See better, 947 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,920 Speaker 1: switch and save with Geico. It's almost better than sports. 948 00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 1: Here's the snow it's looking flips the ball, diving for 949 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:48,680 Speaker 1: the pilot that he's got it.

We had a lot of energy and We 952 00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,279 Speaker 1: brought a lot of spark for this organization. The best 953 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,680 Speaker 1: you have to come five nights a week. They hits 954 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:07,440 Speaker 1: keep on coming. The Texans say they have it, they 955 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 1: do No, it's Texans, all Exans. We got one hour 956 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,280 Speaker 1: down and one hour left to go on this Friday 957 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,640 Speaker 1: edition of Texans All Access from the Hounday Texans Radio Studio. 958 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,000 Speaker 1: I am your host, John Harris, football analyst and Southern reporter, 959 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,239 Speaker 1: and so glad that you are with me. We've hit 960 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,000 Speaker 1: a number of different things in the first hour. Hopefully 961 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,240 Speaker 1: enjoyed my first community credit union. First Glance Key's the game, 962 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:36,040 Speaker 1: given little insight into the matchups that are taking place, 963 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:40,680 Speaker 1: and I think I just I'm leaning shootout and hopefully 964 00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,399 Speaker 1: the Texans will win a shoot out the Browns one. 965 00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 1: There's thirty seven thirty four over the Bengals a couple 966 00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,840 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, the Texans and the shootout with the Titans. 967 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,160 Speaker 1: They were unable to hang on to that one. Took 968 00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 1: a thirty six twenty nine lead, but unfortunately two touchdowns 969 00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,200 Speaker 1: to unanswered touchdowns get Titans to win. Hopefully the Texans 970 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,120 Speaker 1: can win this shootout. Hopefully it hasn't turned into that. 971 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,400 Speaker 1: Hopefully the Texas defense rises up, it stops the Browns, 972 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,040 Speaker 1: and Texas score seventy five points and we win seventy 973 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,440 Speaker 1: five to six. But I don't think that's going to happen. 974 00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,440 Speaker 1: That's a little off base, but either way, we have 975 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,160 Speaker 1: taken a deep dive into the game. We've also heard 976 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,120 Speaker 1: from Justin Reid. Now it's time to hear from a 977 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,399 Speaker 1: lot more people who went to the podium this week. 978 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 1: So it's time for Texans Audio jukebox. All right, let's 979 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:33,799 Speaker 1: go in here from the man himself, number four, DeShawn Watson. 980 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:40,000 Speaker 1: He talked about his one of his good friends. He's 981 00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:43,799 Speaker 1: protecting him, Laramie Tunsel. He's got a tough task, as 982 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,279 Speaker 1: does tight A Howard because Myles Garrett will line up 983 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,880 Speaker 1: in a number of different spots on the defensive line. 984 00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 1: And Deshaun talked about LT taken on Miles Garrett. Man, 985 00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,360 Speaker 1: it's great. I feel like the best left talker in 986 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 1: the game. So I'm glad that he's on my team. 987 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,160 Speaker 1: I'm glad that, you know, he's healthy and he's being 988 00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:05,759 Speaker 1: able to, you know, do what he do and he 989 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,880 Speaker 1: take the charge on the offensive linement, so I'm comfortable, 990 00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:10,960 Speaker 1: you know, when he's back there or when he's on 991 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,480 Speaker 1: my left side and he's fully healthy, and can you know, 992 00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:15,760 Speaker 1: go out there each and every stamp that battle itself 993 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,200 Speaker 1: every town, So v Miles Garrett will be worth the 994 00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,279 Speaker 1: price of admission. And luckily for you, you get to 995 00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,840 Speaker 1: see it free at home um this weekend. So you 996 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,279 Speaker 1: got that going for you. All right, Let's hear a 997 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:32,760 Speaker 1: little bit more from the Shawn who was asked about 998 00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:36,360 Speaker 1: a guy who has been his go to guy guests. 999 00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,400 Speaker 1: It seems like that, it seems like when a big 1000 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,560 Speaker 1: playing to be made, Shaw Watson looks up his man 1001 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 1: will Fuller, and Sean was asked about the value of 1002 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:52,760 Speaker 1: having will Fuller on this team and on his starting offense. 1003 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 1: He's always been valuable. He's a guy that's very supposed 1004 00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 1: to can make a lot of big time plays, can 1005 00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,879 Speaker 1: run routes, can block, can do everything, and so, uh 1006 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:02,680 Speaker 1: you know, as long as he healthy ends on that field, 1007 00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,600 Speaker 1: he gives himself, but uh, you know, the whole team 1008 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,440 Speaker 1: a great chance to win the ball game and make 1009 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:14,279 Speaker 1: good place. Now. One of Watson's favorite receivers last year 1010 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, He's still a guy that he's got 1011 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:20,080 Speaker 1: a good strong connection with is Kenny Stills. Sean was asked, 1012 00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:22,520 Speaker 1: how do you get Kenny Stills more involved in the offense. 1013 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,560 Speaker 1: I mean, just continue to do what we do. You 1014 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,440 Speaker 1: can try to put him in positions that you know 1015 00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,840 Speaker 1: is going to get him the ball. You know, my 1016 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,720 Speaker 1: job is to find the open guy. So Kenny Stills, 1017 00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,759 Speaker 1: he knows his role, he knows exactly what he needs 1018 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 1: to do for that, and you know, we gotta you know, 1019 00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,279 Speaker 1: get him, you know, on the field a little bit 1020 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,279 Speaker 1: more so he can have opportunities to get the ball. So, uh, 1021 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 1: that's the deal. And it depends on you know, every 1022 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 1: every game is different, depends on you know, what the 1023 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,200 Speaker 1: defense is trying to do, what they're trying to take away, 1024 00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:50,920 Speaker 1: who they're trying to take away. So uh, we definitely, 1025 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,280 Speaker 1: you know, you know, to make sure that he's getting 1026 00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,239 Speaker 1: some targets. And you know, because he's a great talent, 1027 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,680 Speaker 1: he's a great receiver, and he's gonna you know, he's 1028 00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,040 Speaker 1: helped us a lot in the past two years. I 1029 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:01,560 Speaker 1: thought Tim ken right up a great point where had 1030 00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 1: him on the Coach's Show on Monday Night and we're 1031 00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,160 Speaker 1: gonna sat at five to six here we catch up 1032 00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:10,239 Speaker 1: with Anthony Weaver or Tim Kelly or Romeo Cornell. We've 1033 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:11,960 Speaker 1: had a chance to interview all of them over the 1034 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,440 Speaker 1: last four or five weeks. It's been really fun. We're 1035 00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 1: talking with Tim Kelly and we were kind of talking 1036 00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,520 Speaker 1: about Kenny Stills in some sense, and he brought the 1037 00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 1: fact that Kenny was open on a route but just 1038 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:24,560 Speaker 1: ran out of time and DeShawn had to move out 1039 00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:26,360 Speaker 1: of pocket. In fact, it was the third down play 1040 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,759 Speaker 1: where Deshaun ran to the sideline against the Jaguars and 1041 00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,399 Speaker 1: then got bumped out of bounds. I got a fifteen 1042 00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 1: yard penalty. Kenny was open on that play. He was 1043 00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:36,720 Speaker 1: moving it on a post route from across the field. 1044 00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:38,360 Speaker 1: Deshaan just had to get out of dodge because he 1045 00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,719 Speaker 1: was getting some pressure with the blitz. So it's not 1046 00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:43,319 Speaker 1: as if they're going out of their way. We're not 1047 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,799 Speaker 1: talking to Kenny. They just on that play just didn't 1048 00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,000 Speaker 1: have didn't have time. But Kenny, as Deshaun has said, 1049 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,840 Speaker 1: he's made a bunch of plays for this organization the 1050 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 1: last couple of years, no question about that. All right, 1051 00:53:55,160 --> 00:54:00,880 Speaker 1: let's hear from Anthony Weaver, defensive coordinator for your Houston Texans, 1052 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,959 Speaker 1: and he's got a challenge on his hands. How do 1053 00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 1: you stop Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. What's interesting about 1054 00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,160 Speaker 1: the two of them is, obviously Nick Chubb's been been 1055 00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,719 Speaker 1: hurt recently, so in our breakdown he doesn't really show up. 1056 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,359 Speaker 1: So you watch Kareem Hunt and you see how good 1057 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,880 Speaker 1: he is, and as you're watching, you're like, god, how 1058 00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,239 Speaker 1: good is the Nick Chubb get? And they're both just 1059 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:26,439 Speaker 1: very physical downhill backs. They have good vision, speed, They 1060 00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,200 Speaker 1: run hungry, you know, that's that's what you like about 1061 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,759 Speaker 1: and they run hungry. They're always falling forward. So it's 1062 00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:33,400 Speaker 1: going to be a challenge for our defense, but a 1063 00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,239 Speaker 1: challenge obviously that that will accept. You know, two of 1064 00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 1: our last three games, we've or three of our last 1065 00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,080 Speaker 1: four really we've played pretty decent run defense, and hopefully 1066 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:45,640 Speaker 1: we continue that going into this game. Two hard running 1067 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,840 Speaker 1: backs are gonna make life tough on the Texans. However, 1068 00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:53,399 Speaker 1: the one thing that I've definitely noticed defensively the last 1069 00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:58,360 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, in particular against the Packers too, when 1070 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,799 Speaker 1: they play with the right gap integrity and guys are 1071 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:06,200 Speaker 1: coming to tackle and not just hit, they do a 1072 00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,480 Speaker 1: pretty solid job against the run. There's one other thing 1073 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,600 Speaker 1: that stands out where they struggle against the run, and 1074 00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,240 Speaker 1: that is there are times and this kind of folds 1075 00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,960 Speaker 1: into both of these actually, but there are times when 1076 00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:20,520 Speaker 1: guys are running up field thinking it's a pass or 1077 00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,880 Speaker 1: thinking it's a bootleg, and they leave kind of a 1078 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,400 Speaker 1: seam in the defense in the back invariably finds that. 1079 00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,800 Speaker 1: But when they're playing with good gap integrity and they're 1080 00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:33,320 Speaker 1: tackling not just throwing shoulders into guys, that this defense 1081 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,280 Speaker 1: is able to slow down some running backs. The chunk 1082 00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,840 Speaker 1: runs that James Robinson had the other day, I promise 1083 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:41,879 Speaker 1: you I can look at that and go this guy 1084 00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,640 Speaker 1: jumped out of his gap for some reason. This guy 1085 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,320 Speaker 1: didn't get to the right gap. And looks that Jackson 1086 00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:55,040 Speaker 1: offensive line is decent. This Brown's offensive line is exceptionally good. 1087 00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,280 Speaker 1: So they're gonna have their challenges on Sunday, there's no doubt. 1088 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,239 Speaker 1: And tackling those two backs that's the big key. It's 1089 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 1: not about hitting them, it's about hitting and wrapping up 1090 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,520 Speaker 1: and stopping them. Now, last Sunday, Russ Blacklock John Grenard 1091 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,439 Speaker 1: had to play a number of different plays and John 1092 00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 1: Reid got in blitz quarterback a few times when he 1093 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,160 Speaker 1: was in there on defense. These rookies are really getting 1094 00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:23,319 Speaker 1: baptism by fire and Anthony. We we talked about the 1095 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 1: good start, those rookies seem to be off too well. 1096 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:27,680 Speaker 1: Ross Like like I've talked about continually every week, he 1097 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:29,799 Speaker 1: just continues to develop and you see him gain more 1098 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,680 Speaker 1: confidence each and every game. He had a nice tackle 1099 00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,160 Speaker 1: was almost a TfL didn't quite get him in the backfield, 1100 00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:36,520 Speaker 1: but had a nice tack where he went down the 1101 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 1: line and split a double team, put some pressure on 1102 00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:40,920 Speaker 1: the quarterback one time and got him to flush him 1103 00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:42,719 Speaker 1: out of the pocket. So you see he's starting the 1104 00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 1: game confidence like John Grenard's. He still makes some mistakes 1105 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,200 Speaker 1: all right, that you got to live through as it 1106 00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:51,120 Speaker 1: continue to grow and improve, and that'll happen, and that'll 1107 00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,520 Speaker 1: happen John Reid, just like all these three rookies that 1108 00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,680 Speaker 1: that I've talked about, you know, Blacklock, Grenard and him. 1109 00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:01,360 Speaker 1: He is another ball guy, so we're trying to find 1110 00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,440 Speaker 1: ways to get him on the field. There are some 1111 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,440 Speaker 1: veterans who are playing good ball, so that's not always 1112 00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,960 Speaker 1: the easiest task. But he has a trait in one 1113 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:10,880 Speaker 1: of those traits is his ability to blitz all right, 1114 00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:12,920 Speaker 1: So we're trying to use them in situations where we 1115 00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 1: can put him out there and get him after the 1116 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,000 Speaker 1: quarterback and obviously because he can also cover, now puts 1117 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:19,760 Speaker 1: the offense in conflict about what he's going to do. 1118 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,000 Speaker 1: Just watching them on Sunday and what they're doing, and 1119 00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,800 Speaker 1: going back and watching the film of those guys, Grenard, 1120 00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,280 Speaker 1: Blacklock and Read I think are going to be pieces 1121 00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,440 Speaker 1: in this defense going forward. Now are they gonna be 1122 00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,920 Speaker 1: pro bowlers? They're gonna be all pros? I don't know, 1123 00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,560 Speaker 1: and I would lean that way, But can they be 1124 00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:41,920 Speaker 1: solid defenders for you that give you a great effort 1125 00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 1: production disruption. Yeah, I think those guys can do it. 1126 00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,880 Speaker 1: They're starting to show it, especially upfront with ross Man. 1127 00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,120 Speaker 1: Ross had a number of nice plays. And what I 1128 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:55,280 Speaker 1: like about Ross I saw to today practice. He is 1129 00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,080 Speaker 1: in the ear of JJ Watt. They're working together. They're 1130 00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:01,320 Speaker 1: working together on Wednesday, working on pass rush moves together, 1131 00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,120 Speaker 1: working their hands. I just love seeing that because Ross 1132 00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,720 Speaker 1: is just soaking it up, getting all that knowledge that 1133 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,080 Speaker 1: he eventually one day we'll share with somebody else. But 1134 00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,280 Speaker 1: I said during training camp, I thought by the end 1135 00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 1: of the year and Ross Blacklock would be the best 1136 00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,280 Speaker 1: interior player that the Texans have and he's starting to 1137 00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,000 Speaker 1: show that. And John Garnard was on the field for 1138 00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,880 Speaker 1: it against the Jacks. I thought he did a pretty 1139 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:22,800 Speaker 1: solid job while he was out there. So you get 1140 00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:24,880 Speaker 1: another edge guy with some twitch. I want to see 1141 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,240 Speaker 1: John really got after the passes this week, really start 1142 00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,040 Speaker 1: to show some of that toolbox that he's got. Pass 1143 00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,120 Speaker 1: rush moves. He got one time through the quarterback with 1144 00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,720 Speaker 1: a long arm that he went against Cam Robinson and 1145 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,320 Speaker 1: got Cam Robinson pushed back near loot and he moved 1146 00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,200 Speaker 1: out of the pocket. But need more of that, more 1147 00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:43,560 Speaker 1: disruption coming from those rookies. And lastly from Anthony Weaver 1148 00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,800 Speaker 1: facing Baker Mayfield. A guy that can do a little 1149 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:51,760 Speaker 1: bit of everything, can make all the throws very volatile, 1150 00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,120 Speaker 1: like you know he's saw screaming yelder, but I mean 1151 00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:57,480 Speaker 1: volatile and that he can explode at any point, just 1152 00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:01,160 Speaker 1: lighting you up. Coach, we we talked about the fact 1153 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:04,160 Speaker 1: that they cannot let Mayfield get in a group. He 1154 00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,640 Speaker 1: plays with a tremendous amount of moxie and confidence, and 1155 00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 1: you could tell that the offense feeds off that. So 1156 00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,280 Speaker 1: whenever he gets it going and he's bouncing around having fun, 1157 00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,040 Speaker 1: talking trash, that that helps them. So we got to 1158 00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,360 Speaker 1: do everything we can to try to you know, push 1159 00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,520 Speaker 1: the pocket, collapse the pocket on him, knocks them balls down, 1160 00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,280 Speaker 1: and get him frustrated because you know, when he gets 1161 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,840 Speaker 1: that swagger going, it could take him a long way. 1162 00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:30,760 Speaker 1: All right, let's flip this jewbox over to Tim Kelly. 1163 00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,880 Speaker 1: He talked about Duke Johnson, the fact that Duke was 1164 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 1: fairly impressive when he went in last week. Duke's a warrior. 1165 00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,040 Speaker 1: He goes out there and he plays hard. He's physical. 1166 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he only came out for two 1167 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,880 Speaker 1: plays after you know, David went down this past week. 1168 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,760 Speaker 1: So he's out there and he's battling. I mean that 1169 00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:53,040 Speaker 1: that really hasn't changed since he's been here. He's always 1170 00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:55,000 Speaker 1: been out there doing whatever we've asked him to do. 1171 00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 1: And now he's he's you know, getting an opportunity for 1172 00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,880 Speaker 1: us to feature him. I'm excited to see what he 1173 01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,080 Speaker 1: can do on Sunday now. As I've talked about all 1174 01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,240 Speaker 1: week long, talked about earlier in the show, the weather 1175 01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:10,240 Speaker 1: could be, yeah, very Cleveland like if you will rainy 1176 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,120 Speaker 1: definitely before the game. We'll see if rains during the game. 1177 01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 1: But rain's going to be a factor. Weather's going to 1178 01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:17,200 Speaker 1: be a factor, could be a little bit colder. Coach 1179 01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,000 Speaker 1: Kelly talked about having to deal with the weather as 1180 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,320 Speaker 1: well in Cleveland. Well, I'm gonna be there as soon 1181 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,200 Speaker 1: as you know, on the early bus. We have two 1182 01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,080 Speaker 1: different buses. I'll take the early bus to get out there, 1183 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, walk the field and see 1184 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,400 Speaker 1: what's going on with the wind and the conditions, and uh, 1185 01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,720 Speaker 1: you know, really really rely on Danny Barrett, who who 1186 01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,720 Speaker 1: obviously with his history in Canada, UM has dealt with 1187 01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,800 Speaker 1: the elements a lot. And and John Perry, you know, 1188 01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,480 Speaker 1: with his his history up in the Northeast, UM has 1189 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:43,840 Speaker 1: dealt with the elements a lot. And UM, you know, 1190 01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,320 Speaker 1: just kind of kind of make sure that we have 1191 01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:48,320 Speaker 1: a plan for for just like you said, if it 1192 01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,280 Speaker 1: comes out and the winds are swirling like it looks 1193 01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,440 Speaker 1: like it was when they were playing Vegas, um, you know, 1194 01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:55,240 Speaker 1: that could make it difficult to throw the ball going 1195 01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,600 Speaker 1: in a certain direction. Uh, taking all those things into 1196 01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,800 Speaker 1: account and making sure again that replay that we're sending 1197 01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:02,360 Speaker 1: in there to the seawan that we're gonna have an 1198 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,280 Speaker 1: ability to go out there and execute and be successful. 1199 01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,080 Speaker 1: All right, let's flip this audio jukebox dial over to 1200 01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:12,760 Speaker 1: Duke Johnson with David Johnson out. As I announced earlier 1201 01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:16,600 Speaker 1: in the show, Duke Johnson steps in again and he's 1202 01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:20,640 Speaker 1: going back to face his old Cleveland squad, and Duke said, 1203 01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 1: you know what, I just want to get touches. Man, 1204 01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:24,120 Speaker 1: I think I can impact the game that way. It 1205 01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 1: doesn't matter to me how I get it, where I 1206 01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,400 Speaker 1: get it. I just think the more opportunities I get that, 1207 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,240 Speaker 1: you know, the more you get a rhythm in the 1208 01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:34,600 Speaker 1: football game, and you know you have more and bet 1209 01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:36,760 Speaker 1: opportunities to make more plays, the more touches you get. 1210 01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:38,880 Speaker 1: So the way you give it to me, it doesn't 1211 01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,040 Speaker 1: matter to me, to be honest, I just wanted to 1212 01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:42,760 Speaker 1: be able to go out and make plays. I'm telling 1213 01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:44,120 Speaker 1: you what. He has his ball in his hands. He's 1214 01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,360 Speaker 1: pretty electric. And I know you look at last week's 1215 01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,880 Speaker 1: stats too. Forty one yards that's it, But man, I'm 1216 01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:51,240 Speaker 1: telling you there were about fifteen or twenty yards behind 1217 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:52,680 Speaker 1: a lot of screamings, a lot of times he made 1218 01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,680 Speaker 1: guys miss He turned a minus four yard run into 1219 01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:57,760 Speaker 1: a yard or two and you don't think that matter 1220 01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,240 Speaker 1: as much. But man, you're not gonna see that that 1221 01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:04,000 Speaker 1: forty made up in his statuet. So I think Duke 1222 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:06,240 Speaker 1: did a pretty good job with that. Hopefully gets in 1223 01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:11,040 Speaker 1: a rhythm with this offensive line, and hopefully this offense 1224 01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:13,959 Speaker 1: can really get going with that running game. Now. Duke 1225 01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:18,000 Speaker 1: definitely liked having an increased role last week. I got 1226 01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:19,800 Speaker 1: a little win in the fourth quarter, you could tell 1227 01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,240 Speaker 1: from where I was. But he didn't like having an 1228 01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,880 Speaker 1: increased role for sure. Just knowing that you know your 1229 01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,160 Speaker 1: last carry may not be your last, you know you're 1230 01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:31,200 Speaker 1: going there. You just try to take what the defense 1231 01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,200 Speaker 1: give you and just hope you know that throughout the 1232 01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:36,160 Speaker 1: game you can keep wolling on them and keep willing 1233 01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:39,160 Speaker 1: on them, and eventually one is gonna bust. You just 1234 01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:40,920 Speaker 1: kind of kind of have the mind said when you 1235 01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:44,400 Speaker 1: know you're gonna get multiple carries or multiple opportunities, you know, 1236 01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:46,360 Speaker 1: just take what they give you, try not to do 1237 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:50,040 Speaker 1: too much and let everything fallward at me. All Right's 1238 01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:54,479 Speaker 1: here from Brandon Cooks, who also went to the MIC 1239 01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:58,680 Speaker 1: this week, and Brandon was asked about playing with the 1240 01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,400 Speaker 1: Shawn Watson's the first time and those two have had 1241 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,120 Speaker 1: a nice connection. Man. I'm telling you, there was a 1242 01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:06,600 Speaker 1: ball thrown by the Shan in the first quarter. I 1243 01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,360 Speaker 1: think it was the second drive of the game, and 1244 01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:12,400 Speaker 1: I watched that throw happened live and I was shocked 1245 01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,560 Speaker 1: that it got to Brandon Cooks, but I think the 1246 01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,360 Speaker 1: Shawan threw it because it was Brandon Cooks and he 1247 01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,080 Speaker 1: knew Cooks was going to extend and get away from 1248 01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,600 Speaker 1: the defenders and separate from the defenders and he did. 1249 01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:25,360 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you that ball had to be in 1250 01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:27,280 Speaker 1: about a six inch space and de Sean put it 1251 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:31,280 Speaker 1: right there. And Brandon talked about what that's like playing 1252 01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,439 Speaker 1: with number four. You talk about a guy that's been 1253 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:37,919 Speaker 1: consistent and special weekend week out and what everything that's 1254 01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:43,040 Speaker 1: been going on. It's unfortunately because our record doesn't show it, 1255 01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:45,960 Speaker 1: but that's a guy that's coming to play every Sunday, 1256 01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:51,680 Speaker 1: and you know, my expectation has been just exactly what 1257 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:53,600 Speaker 1: I thought it would be, and that's being playing with 1258 01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,120 Speaker 1: a special quarterback, no doubt in the connection they have 1259 01:03:56,400 --> 01:04:00,400 Speaker 1: is definitely special. Speaking as special, a guy walked in 1260 01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,560 Speaker 1: the building this week that I think is special on 1261 01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:08,120 Speaker 1: so many different levels now as a singular standalone quarterback. No, 1262 01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,440 Speaker 1: you wouldn't think that Josh McCown has a career that 1263 01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:15,040 Speaker 1: sets everything on fire. But he's gone from team to team. 1264 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:16,840 Speaker 1: He's been with a number of them. But now he's 1265 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,800 Speaker 1: come back home to State of Texas, and I know 1266 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:21,800 Speaker 1: he's got to be happy to be here with the Texans. 1267 01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:25,880 Speaker 1: Announced this week that Josh McCown with the Texans, and 1268 01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,960 Speaker 1: Josh went to the mic today and said he's happy 1269 01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 1: to be in Texas. Again, that's surreal for me. I 1270 01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:34,200 Speaker 1: didn't you know. I was processing that this morning coming 1271 01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:37,240 Speaker 1: in and just for me, I think really special. And 1272 01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:40,120 Speaker 1: I'll say this just because when I was coming out No. Two, 1273 01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:43,080 Speaker 1: you know, in the franchise, was was just starting up 1274 01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,640 Speaker 1: and drafted David and you know, there was a part 1275 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:47,160 Speaker 1: of me that was just like and it was kind 1276 01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,080 Speaker 1: of a foregone conclusion that day was Gon get drafted. 1277 01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,080 Speaker 1: But there was a part of me that was, you know, 1278 01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:52,680 Speaker 1: played down the road to Sam Houston. I was just 1279 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:55,120 Speaker 1: like hoping, you know, maybe something worked out or I 1280 01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:57,560 Speaker 1: ended up here. So so a little bit surreal in 1281 01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:01,479 Speaker 1: that regard, just you know, had some you know, close 1282 01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,720 Speaker 1: opportunities you know down there, you know, throughout the journey 1283 01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:06,640 Speaker 1: with the Cowboys every now and then, but but you know, 1284 01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,640 Speaker 1: just never never quite fit. And uh and so to 1285 01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:11,880 Speaker 1: be home and to get it, to get it, to 1286 01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:13,800 Speaker 1: be able to do this at home is special and 1287 01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:16,280 Speaker 1: so I'm very thankful for that. I love hearing that twang. 1288 01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,960 Speaker 1: Wet my man Clint Sterner, he's got that Texas twang 1289 01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:24,320 Speaker 1: as well. And I started thinking about this a lot, 1290 01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,280 Speaker 1: like I don't like Josh McCall be here, but how 1291 01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,520 Speaker 1: really did he get here? One man played a pretty 1292 01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:34,120 Speaker 1: strong role. ZACUTID Vice President Football Operations, Jack Eastery. We 1293 01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:36,400 Speaker 1: did have conversations and it was, you know, it was 1294 01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,520 Speaker 1: just more of what this team has to offer and 1295 01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:41,680 Speaker 1: and why it was a good fit, you know, and 1296 01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,640 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, just wanting to add experience to 1297 01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:46,960 Speaker 1: the quarterback room. Want to add you know, you know 1298 01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:49,200 Speaker 1: somebody else that could that could you know, play if 1299 01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:51,840 Speaker 1: needed if they got down the stretch. And and uh 1300 01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:54,440 Speaker 1: and for me looking for a fit, that was that 1301 01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,520 Speaker 1: was closer to home, you know. And uh, um, I 1302 01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:00,880 Speaker 1: don't know necessarily that I would have made this, you know, 1303 01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,160 Speaker 1: with anybody else other than you know, somebody that was 1304 01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:05,720 Speaker 1: a couple hours from from the house. So so that 1305 01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,960 Speaker 1: was the biggest thing. And you know, the conversations with 1306 01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:10,040 Speaker 1: Jack were just you know, trying to get to understand 1307 01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:12,840 Speaker 1: just you know, where this team was at, where where 1308 01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,520 Speaker 1: it was headed and uh and then you know, learning 1309 01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:19,480 Speaker 1: it a little bit about the Sean. I absolutely, unequivocally, 1310 01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:23,040 Speaker 1: one thousand percent love the fact that Josh McCown is here. 1311 01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,760 Speaker 1: I gave you all homework assignment. I'm gonna give it 1312 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:29,120 Speaker 1: to you again. Go watch the All or Nothing Show 1313 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,520 Speaker 1: on Amazon for the Philadelphia Eagles the twenty nineteen season, 1314 01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,000 Speaker 1: and go watch I think it's episode five or six, 1315 01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:39,000 Speaker 1: but find the segment on Josh. You will love it. 1316 01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:42,680 Speaker 1: You will absolutely fall in love. And then watch the 1317 01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,800 Speaker 1: last episode because if you remember the playoff game, Carson 1318 01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:48,360 Speaker 1: Winks goes out because of a hit by our Palads, 1319 01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,560 Speaker 1: Debon Clowney, and Josh McCown for the first time his 1320 01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:55,520 Speaker 1: NFL career goes into a playoff game, and then later 1321 01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,320 Speaker 1: he tears his hamstring but continues to play because he 1322 01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:00,640 Speaker 1: Eagls don't have any other option at quarterback. He continues 1323 01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:05,960 Speaker 1: to play and it is just Man, I watched that 1324 01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:08,160 Speaker 1: the first time and when it was all over, I 1325 01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,560 Speaker 1: was just I was a tear. I felt tears come 1326 01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,560 Speaker 1: in my eyes. Oh my god. This guy is what 1327 01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:15,760 Speaker 1: football is supposed to be about. And now he's a 1328 01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:17,520 Speaker 1: Texan and I hope he stays at Texan for the 1329 01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:19,280 Speaker 1: rest of his career in some way, shape or for him. 1330 01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:22,320 Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what that role is. I know 1331 01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:24,600 Speaker 1: it's not gonna be quarterback forever, but man, if he 1332 01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:29,320 Speaker 1: can stay with this Texans organization, I would absolutely love it, 1333 01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:32,120 Speaker 1: just absolutely love it. Mean, Landry Locker and I have 1334 01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:36,439 Speaker 1: talked about this many many times. Man, he is just 1335 01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:40,480 Speaker 1: He's perfect. He's absolutely perfect. And as he walks in 1336 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:44,240 Speaker 1: the building, he gets an opportunity to have some time 1337 01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:48,120 Speaker 1: with number four, and he said he's impressed by what 1338 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:51,080 Speaker 1: he sees from Deshaun Watson from what I've seen you 1339 01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:54,680 Speaker 1: in the past few years from him and on the 1340 01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:57,240 Speaker 1: crossover tape and then watching him this year and kind 1341 01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:58,959 Speaker 1: of starts to bust through the games and get caught 1342 01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:02,040 Speaker 1: up is I continue to see him processing faster and faster, 1343 01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:04,240 Speaker 1: playing fast and playing from the pocket and getting the 1344 01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:05,840 Speaker 1: ball out of his hand and then he's got a 1345 01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,680 Speaker 1: unique ability to make plays and outside the pocket and 1346 01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:13,920 Speaker 1: in his discernment and how he does that is I 1347 01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:17,320 Speaker 1: think gets better every snapp he takes, and that's an 1348 01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,560 Speaker 1: encouraging thing for the Sexans. And to me, it's just 1349 01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:23,040 Speaker 1: like I said, like I told him, I mean, it's 1350 01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,280 Speaker 1: just whatever I can do to help, you know. But 1351 01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:27,719 Speaker 1: he's playing at a very high level. I thought about 1352 01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:29,960 Speaker 1: this as I was listening at clip right there from 1353 01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:33,000 Speaker 1: Josh McCown. A few years ago. He was with Sam Donald. 1354 01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:34,719 Speaker 1: I think when we went up there in twenty eighteen, 1355 01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,360 Speaker 1: and that was probably the best that Sam Donald played 1356 01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:40,400 Speaker 1: was when Josh McCown was up there. Last year, he's 1357 01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:43,439 Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz. Carson had a pretty good year in 1358 01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,679 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. He's falling off in twenty twenty. Sam Donald's 1359 01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:48,720 Speaker 1: falling off the last couple of years. Not saying that 1360 01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:51,960 Speaker 1: Josh McCown is absolutely the answer. And Deshaun Watson has 1361 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:54,240 Speaker 1: played great before he got here and hopefully plays great after. 1362 01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:57,120 Speaker 1: But when you see that sort of track record of 1363 01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:00,640 Speaker 1: a guy in Josh McCown, that helps out younger quarterbacks, 1364 01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:02,880 Speaker 1: gets them playing a little bit better, helps them see 1365 01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:07,040 Speaker 1: different things it's kind of interesting, and I just I 1366 01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:09,600 Speaker 1: love it. I absolutely love Josh McCown being here. I 1367 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,599 Speaker 1: think it's really cool. Another guy I love being here 1368 01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:16,320 Speaker 1: is Whitney Merciless. Now. Whitney unfortunately had to spend last 1369 01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:18,840 Speaker 1: week watching the game from his couch. That had to 1370 01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:22,680 Speaker 1: be a weird experience, and he said it was. It 1371 01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:24,640 Speaker 1: was different, you know, just taking a seat back, you know, 1372 01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:28,120 Speaker 1: being a you know, coach from the couch essentially, just saying, 1373 01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,479 Speaker 1: having a bird's eye view and all that, so being 1374 01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,040 Speaker 1: able to see, you know, whether it be a bad play, 1375 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,040 Speaker 1: good play from the outside perspective versus being on the 1376 01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:39,679 Speaker 1: field and you know it's a play might break loose 1377 01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:42,160 Speaker 1: or ex play happens and it's just like, okay, what happened, 1378 01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:44,080 Speaker 1: but you get to see it actually from a third 1379 01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,200 Speaker 1: person point of view. I think about that a lot, 1380 01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:48,720 Speaker 1: Like if I were to get sick or injured or 1381 01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:50,799 Speaker 1: hurt or whatever the case might be, and I couldn't 1382 01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:53,880 Speaker 1: do do what I do, which is to be the 1383 01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:56,200 Speaker 1: silent reporter for the game on radio broadcast, First of all, 1384 01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:58,760 Speaker 1: I pull my hair out. But I've always thought about that, 1385 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:00,760 Speaker 1: like what it would be to there and watch the 1386 01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,280 Speaker 1: game or have somebody else do the job that I 1387 01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:07,960 Speaker 1: do it will who drive me crazy? So I can understand, uh, 1388 01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:10,000 Speaker 1: you know what Whitney was thinking about. But he had 1389 01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,559 Speaker 1: a pretty good, pretty good perspective on it, I thought 1390 01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:16,400 Speaker 1: when he talked to the media about that. Now he 1391 01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:20,400 Speaker 1: also talked about having Josh McCown in the building, and 1392 01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,240 Speaker 1: this is it's a pretty good sound bite from wit 1393 01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,840 Speaker 1: about Josh McCown being here at the age of forty one. Yeah, 1394 01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:29,920 Speaker 1: I've been around for a long time, you know. Um, 1395 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,160 Speaker 1: you know, they had a prehistoric essentially if you call 1396 01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:35,519 Speaker 1: it that, but uh, uh you know it was. It's 1397 01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:37,840 Speaker 1: it's also gonna happening in a building also to bring 1398 01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:40,000 Speaker 1: his wealth and knowledge as well too, uh to the 1399 01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:43,519 Speaker 1: line back I mean the quarterback room and all that. 1400 01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:45,840 Speaker 1: So it'd be interesting. They didn't get a chance to 1401 01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:47,439 Speaker 1: you know, talk to him or anything like that, but 1402 01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:50,479 Speaker 1: seeing McCawl around the league from his sad there are 1403 01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:52,960 Speaker 1: various stops and stuff like that, and how he's contributed 1404 01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:55,080 Speaker 1: as well too, So happy to have him. Yeah, no, 1405 01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,840 Speaker 1: not happy for Josh McCown to be here. And I 1406 01:10:57,880 --> 01:10:59,760 Speaker 1: think over the next how many ever weeks, people are 1407 01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:04,519 Speaker 1: going to feel the same way. But prehistoric boy man, 1408 01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,120 Speaker 1: that's tough for the forty somethings, which I am a 1409 01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:11,080 Speaker 1: little bit older forty something than Josh McCown, but very 1410 01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:14,120 Speaker 1: very cool to see Josh McCown in the building and 1411 01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:18,200 Speaker 1: great Texans audio jukebox.

Well, We're gonna do a lot of math 1471 01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:35,320 Speaker 1: in this segment in some respect because we're gonna make 1472 01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:38,400 Speaker 1: our picks straight up and against the spread. I John 1473 01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:40,559 Speaker 1: Harris Football else so side a reporter and host how 1474 01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:42,720 Speaker 1: this Friday's edition of Texans All Access from How They 1475 01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:46,200 Speaker 1: How the Texans Radio studio do this every single week. 1476 01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:49,040 Speaker 1: I would like to know where my record is, but 1477 01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,080 Speaker 1: during football season, I have not an ounce of time 1478 01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:53,840 Speaker 1: to go back and listen to see how I did. 1479 01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:56,120 Speaker 1: So I'm just assuming that I'm in the ninety to 1480 01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:59,760 Speaker 1: one hundred percent range, because why wouldn't I be. I mean, 1481 01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:01,760 Speaker 1: I'm here. If I were in a ninety to one 1482 01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:03,880 Speaker 1: percent range, I just moved to Vegas and pick games 1483 01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:07,559 Speaker 1: all weekend and make mad chatter. But that's not the case. 1484 01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:09,479 Speaker 1: So I don't know what my record is. I don't 1485 01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,960 Speaker 1: go back and listen. I wish I did, just to 1486 01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,360 Speaker 1: see how I could do. But that said this, man, 1487 01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:17,679 Speaker 1: I'm telling the NFL it's hard to pick. It's very, 1488 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:21,320 Speaker 1: very difficult to predict. But let's do it anyways, and 1489 01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:23,479 Speaker 1: it's a good way to talk about each and every 1490 01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:27,240 Speaker 1: one of these games taken on now the noon games 1491 01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:30,599 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Oh man, wait a second, hold up, hold up, 1492 01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:34,599 Speaker 1: get my music, get my music there it is. Okay, 1493 01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:37,360 Speaker 1: we're good. Got my music. Now it's time for picks. 1494 01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:41,439 Speaker 1: Here we go. First game out of the shoot Texans Browns. 1495 01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:43,240 Speaker 1: You know, I never picked that game. I don't go 1496 01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:44,960 Speaker 1: against my heart in my head. But Cleveland favorite by 1497 01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:46,439 Speaker 1: three and a half. That's gone up a little bit, 1498 01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:50,160 Speaker 1: so there must be getting some action going the other 1499 01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:54,040 Speaker 1: way to try and get things going in the right direction. 1500 01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:56,680 Speaker 1: So I want to pick Texans Browns. But Cleveland is 1501 01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:58,280 Speaker 1: a three and a half point favorite. That's gone up 1502 01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:01,120 Speaker 1: actually since this afternoon, like two or three hours. When 1503 01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:03,080 Speaker 1: I looked at this last it was three ounce three 1504 01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:04,880 Speaker 1: and a half. So we won't pick that one. You know. 1505 01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:07,519 Speaker 1: I feel Texas to win to cover and hopefully that happens. 1506 01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:12,479 Speaker 1: All right. Next nude game takes place in the Motor 1507 01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:17,639 Speaker 1: City in Detroit. Lions suffer ring last week. Oh, the 1508 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:22,640 Speaker 1: Vikings ran all over them. Oh it was ugly. Washington. 1509 01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:25,800 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody expected them to be great. Even 1510 01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:29,440 Speaker 1: at two and six, they still have been really competitive 1511 01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:33,200 Speaker 1: in games. They've been physical, They're good defensively. They just 1512 01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:35,960 Speaker 1: haven't had all the pieces come together offensively. They've struggled 1513 01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:38,800 Speaker 1: at quarterback. toWin Haskins was in, he's out. Kyle Allen 1514 01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:40,720 Speaker 1: was in and he got hurt. Alex Smith came in 1515 01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:42,960 Speaker 1: last week through for a lot of yards. We also 1516 01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,400 Speaker 1: threw a lot of interceptions. So I'm gonna go Lions. 1517 01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:47,559 Speaker 1: Lions are favorite here about four and a half. That 1518 01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:49,280 Speaker 1: feels about right where it should be. It should be 1519 01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:51,160 Speaker 1: a three or four point win, So I'm gonna do this. 1520 01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:52,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give the Lions to win, but I think 1521 01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:54,760 Speaker 1: the Washington football teams can get under that four and 1522 01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:58,000 Speaker 1: a half. So I'm gonna take the points with Washington 1523 01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,760 Speaker 1: straight up. I'm picking Alliance to win. Jaguars are taking 1524 01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:06,840 Speaker 1: on the Packers. Oh boy, in Green Bay. Jake Luton 1525 01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:10,160 Speaker 1: gets a chance to face Zadarius Smith, Preston Smith, Sean 1526 01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:13,240 Speaker 1: Gary but it doesn't appear that JayR Alexander is gonna 1527 01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:16,360 Speaker 1: play for the Packers. That won't make a difference in 1528 01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:18,000 Speaker 1: the winner loss, but could it make a difference in 1529 01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:21,240 Speaker 1: the point spread? Thirteen and a half points. No Packers 1530 01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:25,040 Speaker 1: will win this by seventeen Packers win Packers cover. Packers 1531 01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:27,160 Speaker 1: moved to seven and two, and the Jags moved one 1532 01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:33,120 Speaker 1: step closer for Trevor Lawrence. Oh boy, all right, NFC 1533 01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:37,520 Speaker 1: East battle the leader in the NFC East, The Philadelphia 1534 01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:41,720 Speaker 1: Eagles are three four and one. They go to New 1535 01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:46,639 Speaker 1: York New Jersey to take on the New York Giants. 1536 01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:50,240 Speaker 1: Giants coming off win last week against WFT. The Eagles 1537 01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:52,719 Speaker 1: step in here at three four and one. But Carson 1538 01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:56,040 Speaker 1: Wentz has not played well this year. He's got some numbers, 1539 01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:59,760 Speaker 1: but he hasn't played extensively well. Now. His offensive line 1540 01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,640 Speaker 1: of him has been a revolving door. I mean there 1541 01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:06,639 Speaker 1: are guys in there. They had a big Milata, Daniel Milana, 1542 01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,000 Speaker 1: I can't remember the first name, but my Latta who 1543 01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,640 Speaker 1: played rugby and he's never played football before and they 1544 01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:14,479 Speaker 1: turn him into and offen to tackle that. That's what's 1545 01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:16,280 Speaker 1: protecting Carson Wentz by the way. My lotta is not 1546 01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:19,880 Speaker 1: that bad. But that's what's been protecting Carson Wentz. I 1547 01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:23,120 Speaker 1: think that's gonna be the difference in this one. I'm 1548 01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:25,960 Speaker 1: gonna go with the Giants. Oh my cars, I'm gonna 1549 01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:29,120 Speaker 1: go with the Giants to win this one. They're dog 1550 01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:33,040 Speaker 1: by four points at home. But I think Daniel Jones 1551 01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:35,280 Speaker 1: will have a little something. He needs to speed up 1552 01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:37,360 Speaker 1: his processing. He needs to be able to use all 1553 01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:39,799 Speaker 1: the receivers in the field. But I think the Giants 1554 01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:42,559 Speaker 1: are gonna scheme some things up against the Eagles, and 1555 01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:47,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna take this one in New Jersey over Philadelphia. 1556 01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:49,840 Speaker 1: So I'll take all four of those points and I 1557 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:51,960 Speaker 1: will take the Giants straight up. All right, Let's move 1558 01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:59,320 Speaker 1: to AFC. Excuse me, NFC North Buccaneers Panthers. Panthers went 1559 01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:03,240 Speaker 1: toe to with the Kansas City Chiefs, and they dropped 1560 01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:07,120 Speaker 1: haymakers on each other all day long, and it came 1561 01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:10,760 Speaker 1: down to like a seventy something yard field goal or 1562 01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:14,439 Speaker 1: sixty seven yard field goal, and Joey sly pushed it 1563 01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:17,240 Speaker 1: to the right. But they lost to the Chiefs, to 1564 01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:20,920 Speaker 1: the Chiefs thirty four thirty three something of that magnitude. 1565 01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:23,320 Speaker 1: Now they're taking on the Bucks, and the Bucks got 1566 01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:27,040 Speaker 1: walloped last week by the New Orleans Saints. I think 1567 01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:29,879 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay bounce is back, and I think the Panthers 1568 01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,400 Speaker 1: are a really tough team to tangle with. Joe Brady 1569 01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:34,960 Speaker 1: has done a hack of a job with that offense's 1570 01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:39,080 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. But I don't think it'll be enough to win. 1571 01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:44,000 Speaker 1: I do think it'll be enough to cover the five 1572 01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:47,759 Speaker 1: and a half. So let's take the Buccaneers to bounce 1573 01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:51,080 Speaker 1: back and win, but in a close battle, I'm taking 1574 01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,360 Speaker 1: the Panthers to cover that five and a half. I 1575 01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:55,200 Speaker 1: just really think this is going to be a close game. 1576 01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:58,160 Speaker 1: Panther's record really, to me at three and six doesn't 1577 01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:01,040 Speaker 1: indicate the kind of team that they really are. Matt 1578 01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:04,840 Speaker 1: Rules had those guys playing really well all year long. 1579 01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:08,280 Speaker 1: All right, let's go out to the AFC West, where 1580 01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:12,000 Speaker 1: an old school rivalry, the Artists formerly known as the 1581 01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:16,040 Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders, now in Las Vegas, to visit from the 1582 01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:21,280 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos Man. These battles used to be awesome. I 1583 01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:25,439 Speaker 1: love AFC West battles Broncos and Raiders in Las Vegas. 1584 01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:29,400 Speaker 1: The Raiders are a four point favorite. The Raiders are up. 1585 01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:31,479 Speaker 1: The Raiders are down. The Raiders are up. The Raiders 1586 01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:35,080 Speaker 1: are down. The Broncos They've had too many injuries really 1587 01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:38,559 Speaker 1: to sustain anything. But the Broncos went to Atlanta last 1588 01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:41,400 Speaker 1: week and Atlanta put a hurting on them. I think 1589 01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:43,840 Speaker 1: the Raiders will do it again. The balance and Derek 1590 01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:47,320 Speaker 1: Carr throwing, with Josh Jacobs running the football, that's too 1591 01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:51,280 Speaker 1: much for the Broncos. Raiders win. Go to six and three. 1592 01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:54,240 Speaker 1: Now we don't want the Raiders to win. The Raiders 1593 01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:56,720 Speaker 1: will win this. They'll move to six and three. They 1594 01:20:56,720 --> 01:21:01,240 Speaker 1: will cover the four as well. Let's go Broncos, Chargers Dolphins, 1595 01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:05,400 Speaker 1: Oh boy, nineteen eighty one AFC Divisional Playoff route. What 1596 01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:08,200 Speaker 1: a game, one of the greatest games in NFL history, 1597 01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:11,680 Speaker 1: and it's back in Miami. However, they're not the San 1598 01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:15,320 Speaker 1: Diego Chargers anymore, and it's not the Orange Bowlder playing anymore. 1599 01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:18,080 Speaker 1: And Dan Marino had shown up take on Dan fouls. 1600 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:22,040 Speaker 1: It's two h versus Herbert, two rookies drafted back to 1601 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:25,920 Speaker 1: back in this draft. Going at it. Miami's at home 1602 01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:28,400 Speaker 1: only a one and a half point favorite, but I 1603 01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:30,759 Speaker 1: think Miami's gonna win this football game. They've been playing 1604 01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,840 Speaker 1: really good football. They knocked off Arizona, they knocked off 1605 01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:37,479 Speaker 1: the Rams. They're the NFC West champions basically, and the 1606 01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:39,640 Speaker 1: Dolphins are gonna win this game. And at one and 1607 01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:41,000 Speaker 1: a half, that's kind of a pick them. So I'm 1608 01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:43,000 Speaker 1: just gonna lay the points one and a half. The 1609 01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:46,240 Speaker 1: Dolphins will win and they're gonna cover over the Chargers. 1610 01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:49,320 Speaker 1: Chargers moving to two and seven of the year when 1611 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,400 Speaker 1: they lose, Oh, I hate that for dan Lyn's dad, 1612 01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:55,880 Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn. Anthony Lynn, I think is really what coaching 1613 01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:57,479 Speaker 1: is all about. If you watch Hard Knocks, you know 1614 01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:00,519 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. I really really like Antony. I 1615 01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:04,519 Speaker 1: hope they I hope they keep him in a normal 1616 01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:08,479 Speaker 1: environment sort of year and guys can stay healthy. With Herbert, 1617 01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:10,360 Speaker 1: I think the Chargers could be an up and comer 1618 01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:14,080 Speaker 1: in the future, but not on Sunday. All right. That 1619 01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:16,840 Speaker 1: was a three h five game. Also is Broncos Raiders 1620 01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:19,240 Speaker 1: three oh five? Let's gets another three oh five game? 1621 01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:21,439 Speaker 1: Oh boy? And by three oh five, I mean three 1622 01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:26,200 Speaker 1: or five pm. The Buffalo Bills going to take on 1623 01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:31,400 Speaker 1: K one Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald and the 1624 01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:35,200 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals Cardinals right now five and three, the Bills 1625 01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:38,120 Speaker 1: seven to two, but coming off a big win at 1626 01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:42,479 Speaker 1: home over the Seattle Seahawks, and it was the offense 1627 01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:45,840 Speaker 1: that carried them in that game. And that's what makes 1628 01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:47,840 Speaker 1: me think the Bills are gonna win this thing. The 1629 01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:50,200 Speaker 1: Arizona is favored by two and a half, so essentially 1630 01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:53,160 Speaker 1: Vegas is saying the Bills are a little bit better 1631 01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:55,479 Speaker 1: than Cardinals on a neutral field, even though it's not 1632 01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:58,120 Speaker 1: a neutral field. I think the Cardinals will struggle to 1633 01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:00,760 Speaker 1: slow down Josh Allen in this offense, and then when 1634 01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:04,000 Speaker 1: they do have some modicum of success, the Bills will 1635 01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:06,320 Speaker 1: go back to running the football. And they don't do 1636 01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:08,680 Speaker 1: that exceptionally well, but they do it well enough, and 1637 01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:12,479 Speaker 1: those backs with mosson Singletary really get it going. I'm 1638 01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:15,240 Speaker 1: gonna go with the Bills, according to Vegas, in a 1639 01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,040 Speaker 1: mild upset to win, and obviously I'm taking those two 1640 01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:20,680 Speaker 1: and a half points. The Cardinals fall to five and 1641 01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:24,360 Speaker 1: four and the Bills moved to eight and two. Seahawks 1642 01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:28,120 Speaker 1: taking on the Rams NFC West battle, This is gonna 1643 01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:31,240 Speaker 1: be a good one. Seahawks six and two, Rams five 1644 01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:33,640 Speaker 1: and three. Now, if the Bills beat the Cardinals and 1645 01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:37,360 Speaker 1: Cardinals will stay in third place, they could be tied 1646 01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:39,720 Speaker 1: with the Rams. The Rams lose to the Seahawks, but 1647 01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:42,599 Speaker 1: the Planets Sofi Stadium, and the Rams are a point 1648 01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:46,280 Speaker 1: and a half favorite. But Seattle went to Buffalo last 1649 01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:50,880 Speaker 1: week and that defense was just ripped to shreds. I 1650 01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:52,840 Speaker 1: don't know if that happens two weeks in a row. 1651 01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:55,960 Speaker 1: And the Seahawks saw what the Dolphins did to the 1652 01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:59,200 Speaker 1: Rams a bunch of zero blitz and it really impacted 1653 01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:01,800 Speaker 1: Jared Goff. I think you're gonna see a lot of 1654 01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:03,559 Speaker 1: that from the Seahawks now. When they rolled the dice 1655 01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:07,000 Speaker 1: against the Bills and did that, they got burned. But 1656 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,439 Speaker 1: can they do it against Jared Goff and the Rams. 1657 01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:13,280 Speaker 1: I think they can. I think the Seahawks win, So 1658 01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:15,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take I'm gonna take those one and a 1659 01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,920 Speaker 1: half points. I'm gonna take the Seahawks to win straight up. 1660 01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:22,560 Speaker 1: Road dogs wins and Seattle bounces back. Rams fall to 1661 01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:24,559 Speaker 1: five and four, tie with the Cardinals of five and 1662 01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:27,160 Speaker 1: four after this weekend, and the Seahawks moved to seven 1663 01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:30,920 Speaker 1: and two and separate by two games from those two teams. 1664 01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:34,639 Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers, also at Sea West, taken on the Saints. 1665 01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:38,880 Speaker 1: Forty nine ers at four and five. It's a near 1666 01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:41,439 Speaker 1: miracle that they're four and five with all the injuries 1667 01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:44,120 Speaker 1: that the forty nine ers have had. Thank God for them. 1668 01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:46,280 Speaker 1: They got a chance to put the Giants of the 1669 01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:51,160 Speaker 1: Jets this year. But now they're playing the Saints. Saints 1670 01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,840 Speaker 1: or six and two in New Orleans is favored by 1671 01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:57,479 Speaker 1: nine and a half. I hate to do it through 1672 01:24:57,479 --> 01:25:00,000 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers because I really let Kyle Shannon 1673 01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,320 Speaker 1: hand and how he goes about his business, how he 1674 01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:05,160 Speaker 1: runs that offense. But I can't do it. The Saints 1675 01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:07,760 Speaker 1: got hot. The Saints beat them. You know what out 1676 01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:10,400 Speaker 1: of the Buccaneers last week. I'm taking Saints to win 1677 01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,839 Speaker 1: and Saints to cover. I'm going thirty one twenty one. 1678 01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:17,360 Speaker 1: Saints win this thing ten more than nine and a half. 1679 01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:21,320 Speaker 1: Saints win and Saints cover the nine and a half. Also, 1680 01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,839 Speaker 1: in an afternoon game, Joey Burrow takes on the Steelers 1681 01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:27,480 Speaker 1: for the first time. Yes, the Bengals go to Pittsburgh 1682 01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:30,760 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh eight. No. Had they come from behind win that one. 1683 01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:34,800 Speaker 1: Late at Dallas last week, but they did it. Pittsburgh's 1684 01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:36,360 Speaker 1: favored by only seven and a half. I thought that 1685 01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:39,240 Speaker 1: would have been more. I don't like to hook, but 1686 01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:41,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Pittsburgh to win and to cover against 1687 01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:43,880 Speaker 1: the Bengals. I think the Steelers are gonna show Joey 1688 01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:46,599 Speaker 1: Beason looks he hasn't seen. I think the game will 1689 01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:48,800 Speaker 1: speed up for him now. Joe's done a tremendous job 1690 01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:50,519 Speaker 1: all year long. He's gonna put up some numbers, but 1691 01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:54,599 Speaker 1: I think something might be kind of not garbage time, 1692 01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:56,880 Speaker 1: but maybe later in the second half he piles on 1693 01:25:56,960 --> 01:26:00,320 Speaker 1: some numbers because the Steelers just trying to stay at head, 1694 01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,519 Speaker 1: not prevent, but just trying to stay ahead. Steelers win, 1695 01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:05,880 Speaker 1: they can move to nine and oh Bengals fall and 1696 01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:08,400 Speaker 1: the Steelers cover that seven and a half. Sunday Night 1697 01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:14,439 Speaker 1: Ravens against the Patriots Last year in Baltimore, the Ravens 1698 01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:18,440 Speaker 1: embarrassed the Patriots on Sunday Night football. Does it reverse 1699 01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:20,720 Speaker 1: the other way to the Patriots embarrassed or no, The 1700 01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:22,760 Speaker 1: Ravens will win this thing. It's gonna be pretty fun, though, 1701 01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:24,240 Speaker 1: because I think there's been a lot of noise about 1702 01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:27,400 Speaker 1: the Ravens this week and knowing what plays are coming 1703 01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:30,920 Speaker 1: defenses No. Lamar Jackson talked about it. Zeus Brown talked 1704 01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:33,240 Speaker 1: about it. If anybody's gonna know what the Patriots you're 1705 01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:35,680 Speaker 1: gonna know. Here's the dumb thing. If you know what 1706 01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:39,160 Speaker 1: the plays are, you don't tell everybody, don't call it out. 1707 01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:41,640 Speaker 1: You gotta come up with something where you look at 1708 01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:43,160 Speaker 1: somebody to give the eye. And that's where you go. 1709 01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:46,960 Speaker 1: Patriots are gonna get inside that seven Baltimore wins. This 1710 01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:50,320 Speaker 1: is gonna be like nineteen sixteen something like that. Ravens 1711 01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:53,759 Speaker 1: to win, Patriots to cover. And then Monday night, Vikings Bears. 1712 01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:56,320 Speaker 1: I can't believe. We've gotta watch the Vikings and the 1713 01:26:56,320 --> 01:27:00,000 Speaker 1: parents again. Let's go Bears at home Minnies. How much 1714 01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,360 Speaker 1: as Minnesota's three and five, the Bears are five and four, 1715 01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:06,439 Speaker 1: Minnesota on the rotus favored by three. Let's go with 1716 01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:09,040 Speaker 1: the Bears in an upset then, so give you those three, 1717 01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:11,080 Speaker 1: give me the Bears to win. There you go, there 1718 01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:15,960 Speaker 1: your predictions straight up and against us spread. Coming up next, 1719 01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:18,920 Speaker 1: it's Drew Doherty with the final word. And this week 1720 01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:22,160 Speaker 1: it's Terrell Adams that's right here on Texans all Access. 1721 01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:27,679 Speaker 1: This is Whitney Merciless and you're listening to Texans Radio. 1722 01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:34,479 Speaker 1: Don't touch that dog. My name is Dean Grhan of 1723 01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:38,360 Speaker 1: Resude Oil. We were poised for significant growth in twenty twenty. 1724 01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:41,479 Speaker 1: When the pandemic hit. It stopped us in our tracks, 1725 01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:44,559 Speaker 1: derailed us. We spoke with Amazy right away because we 1726 01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:46,640 Speaker 1: believed that Amagy. We believe that they would come up 1727 01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:50,559 Speaker 1: with the best solution available. Without Amagy Bank, we would 1728 01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:53,559 Speaker 1: not be in business today. They make you feel let 1729 01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:56,439 Speaker 1: me make you feel important. We're an Amagy Bank customer 1730 01:27:56,439 --> 01:27:59,479 Speaker 1: for life. Amagy Bank the division of Science Bank Corporation 1731 01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:03,280 Speaker 1: name for FDIC, official business bank of the Houston Texans. 1732 01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:08,519 Speaker 1: Today tastes like game day at home, like a signed 1733 01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:13,200 Speaker 1: couch seating. It tastes like coffee, table dining, and an 1734 01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:17,360 Speaker 1: ice cold coke to cool down the heat. It tastes 1735 01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:20,200 Speaker 1: like the game you've waited for all week with friends 1736 01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:25,360 Speaker 1: you've known your whole life. Today tastes like watching football 1737 01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:31,160 Speaker 1: is supposed to and it never tasted this game. Coca 1738 01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:36,040 Speaker 1: Cola together taste better. What are the experts predicting about 1739 01:28:36,120 --> 01:28:40,280 Speaker 1: this week's big game? Extra Points? Saturday nights at ten 1740 01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:43,759 Speaker 1: thirty or after the late local news on ABC thirteen. 1741 01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:48,400 Speaker 1: Welcome back to a Friday edition of Texans All Access. 1742 01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:52,160 Speaker 1: It's our final segment of the show. Hopefully you stick 1743 01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:57,000 Speaker 1: around for Drew's final word this week. It's with a 1744 01:28:57,040 --> 01:29:00,760 Speaker 1: guy that has done some treme end this things for 1745 01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:05,599 Speaker 1: this defense the last four weeks. I think it's four weeks. 1746 01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:07,719 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of the first game that Terrell 1747 01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:11,240 Speaker 1: Adams had to step in and take over for Brodrick McKinney, 1748 01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:14,439 Speaker 1: who was put on injury reserve dealing with I believe 1749 01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:16,519 Speaker 1: it was a shoulder that he had surgery on and 1750 01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:19,160 Speaker 1: Terrell had to step in said some good things. Last week, 1751 01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:23,960 Speaker 1: twelve tackles against the Jacksonville Jaguars had an interception in 1752 01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:28,280 Speaker 1: his hands. Oh, I guarantee you, guarantee you. This is 1753 01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:32,160 Speaker 1: how this thing works the mind. Charl Adams will be 1754 01:29:32,200 --> 01:29:35,559 Speaker 1: thinking about that dropped interception for the rest of his life. 1755 01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:38,040 Speaker 1: He'll be sitting down with his grandkids and he's like, now, 1756 01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:39,680 Speaker 1: I never tell you about that time that I had 1757 01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:41,400 Speaker 1: an interception in my hands and it couldn't have been 1758 01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:44,040 Speaker 1: a pick six. In fact, it probably should have been 1759 01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:46,640 Speaker 1: a pick six, but he plays a big role, and 1760 01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:52,280 Speaker 1: this week because of facing Kareem Hunt and also facing 1761 01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:56,080 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, we'll find out more of this weekend, but 1762 01:29:56,160 --> 01:29:58,160 Speaker 1: my guess he's gonna play. So let's assume he's gonna 1763 01:29:58,160 --> 01:30:01,720 Speaker 1: play facing Nick Job and Kareem Hunt. Man Tribes has 1764 01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:04,479 Speaker 1: got to mind his peas and ques. He's got to 1765 01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:06,479 Speaker 1: have good eye discipline, he's got to read his keys, 1766 01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:10,280 Speaker 1: and then he's got to tackle like a monster. Play 1767 01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:12,559 Speaker 1: at twelve last week, he's a double digits. I think 1768 01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:15,920 Speaker 1: every game he's probably I think he's played Troll. Adams 1769 01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:18,760 Speaker 1: has been fantastic and he is with Drew Doherty for 1770 01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:23,759 Speaker 1: our final words. We've got linebacker Tyrell Adams joining us now, Tyrell, 1771 01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:25,880 Speaker 1: it's great to be with you, great to talk with you, 1772 01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:29,519 Speaker 1: Texans coming off a win over Jacksonville. Two part question, Hey, 1773 01:30:30,200 --> 01:30:33,160 Speaker 1: is there such thing as momentum in the NFL? And 1774 01:30:33,240 --> 01:30:35,559 Speaker 1: b if there is, do you guys have a little 1775 01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:37,479 Speaker 1: bit of it? And how do you keep it going? Definitely, 1776 01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:40,640 Speaker 1: it's definitely definitely momentum. Everybody knows that Man's it's a 1777 01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:42,479 Speaker 1: big thing in NFL. For sure. She's trying to get 1778 01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:44,280 Speaker 1: the first win and you're getting their confidence under you. 1779 01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:46,479 Speaker 1: The biggest thing is just keeping it going. He's kind 1780 01:30:46,520 --> 01:30:49,559 Speaker 1: of keeping the team Karnie up again, espasially in this 1781 01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:52,519 Speaker 1: time right now, November is which was a must win month. 1782 01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:55,840 Speaker 1: So reiterating that with guys and understanding what's his state 1783 01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:57,559 Speaker 1: now and just kind of keep going forward. I think 1784 01:30:57,560 --> 01:30:58,920 Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing. And we kind of know what's 1785 01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:01,040 Speaker 1: what's a stake to have a winning season and kind 1786 01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:03,439 Speaker 1: of furnish this thing out strong. So nothing as far 1787 01:31:03,479 --> 01:31:06,000 Speaker 1: for y'all reach, so hen keep working and seeing what happens. Yeah, 1788 01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:09,040 Speaker 1: there is still eight games to go as a matter 1789 01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:10,720 Speaker 1: of fact, and you guys are always going to be 1790 01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:12,519 Speaker 1: in the playoff fund when you have that much time 1791 01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:15,320 Speaker 1: in front of you. On a personal level, how do 1792 01:31:15,400 --> 01:31:18,040 Speaker 1: you think you've taken advantage of the opportunity? If you've 1793 01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:20,120 Speaker 1: gotten from the outside, looks great. I mean you've had 1794 01:31:20,160 --> 01:31:22,479 Speaker 1: double digit tackles and just about every game you've played, 1795 01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:24,680 Speaker 1: But what have you thought of your personal opportunity you've 1796 01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:28,160 Speaker 1: had so far? Me personally, man, I'm definitely like for 1797 01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:29,960 Speaker 1: me personally, hard on myself and I left a lot 1798 01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:31,400 Speaker 1: of players out there, a lot of players that could 1799 01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:32,760 Speaker 1: have put us in a better position as far as 1800 01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:34,920 Speaker 1: on the field as a team and everything. So those 1801 01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:36,439 Speaker 1: are plays that kind of like bother me the most. 1802 01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:38,439 Speaker 1: I think I think about the most. Of course, I 1803 01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:40,200 Speaker 1: played all right by Stills. I feel like there's a 1804 01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:42,280 Speaker 1: lot left on the table for myself to prove that 1805 01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:44,120 Speaker 1: these guys and these coaches around me just kind of 1806 01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:46,000 Speaker 1: like lift his team. I tell myself all the time 1807 01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:48,559 Speaker 1: just to kind of just be that, just keep working 1808 01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:51,000 Speaker 1: at just building that confidence within my teammates, kind of 1809 01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:52,960 Speaker 1: like keeping that faith in me as I'm out there 1810 01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:55,200 Speaker 1: and trying to perform for them. Honestly, it's not for myself, 1811 01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:56,800 Speaker 1: it's for them, and I really kind of take that 1812 01:31:56,880 --> 01:31:58,680 Speaker 1: the prize, just like making plays just to make them 1813 01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:01,320 Speaker 1: happy and make them enjoy little bit more. It's always 1814 01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:03,439 Speaker 1: enjoyable when you win. You're looking to do that against 1815 01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:06,000 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Brown's team. That and they can run the ball. 1816 01:32:06,080 --> 01:32:09,240 Speaker 1: Let's talk first about Kareem Hunt. He's been toting the 1817 01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:11,840 Speaker 1: rock the last five six games with Nick Chubb out, 1818 01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:15,120 Speaker 1: and he's been pretty effective also catching the ball. He's 1819 01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:17,840 Speaker 1: caught four touchdown passes. What have you thought of Hunt 1820 01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:19,880 Speaker 1: from what you've seen on tape in preparation for him. 1821 01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:22,120 Speaker 1: He's a talented guys has been kind of talented sins 1822 01:32:22,120 --> 01:32:24,240 Speaker 1: he's been in the league, extreme balance, a guy who's 1823 01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:26,400 Speaker 1: like knows how to keep falling for it, falls for 1824 01:32:26,560 --> 01:32:28,640 Speaker 1: for the xt JR. So I think the biggest thing 1825 01:32:28,640 --> 01:32:30,760 Speaker 1: he just us like the tackle whals you did last week, 1826 01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:34,240 Speaker 1: kind of no mistackles, make sure he's tackling physical, kind 1827 01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:36,519 Speaker 1: of trying to try to make ourselves a beating, just 1828 01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:38,120 Speaker 1: living up to the test. I like to test a 1829 01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:40,479 Speaker 1: good running back against a defense that wants to stop 1830 01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:43,160 Speaker 1: the run. So we're interested to stop the interested in 1831 01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:45,439 Speaker 1: the challenge and ready up for it. So yeah, he's 1832 01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:48,160 Speaker 1: one component of that challenge and sounds like looks like 1833 01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:50,519 Speaker 1: Chubb is going to be the other component who is 1834 01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:52,719 Speaker 1: likely going to play if you do see him. How's 1835 01:32:52,760 --> 01:32:54,800 Speaker 1: he compared with what you see from hunt. Chub's a 1836 01:32:54,840 --> 01:32:57,120 Speaker 1: natural runner. He wants to run the ball downhill. The 1837 01:32:57,160 --> 01:32:59,000 Speaker 1: physical guy. He loves to run a ball, which we 1838 01:32:59,120 --> 01:33:01,720 Speaker 1: like to see. So honestly, is again I just like 1839 01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:04,080 Speaker 1: challenges ahead of us kind of too good back. Two 1840 01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:07,519 Speaker 1: studs at running back, and there's a chance for us 1841 01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:09,280 Speaker 1: to prove our defense that we can stop the run 1842 01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:12,680 Speaker 1: and leading the charge for them at quarterback is Baker Mayfield. 1843 01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:15,240 Speaker 1: He's been around for a few years now, still a 1844 01:33:15,320 --> 01:33:18,160 Speaker 1: young quarterback, but it seems like he's been sort of 1845 01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:20,640 Speaker 1: hot and cold at times to year, which happens. What 1846 01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:22,880 Speaker 1: are your thoughts on Baker Mayfield? What can he do 1847 01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:25,960 Speaker 1: and what's the challenge he presents for you guys. Again, 1848 01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:28,640 Speaker 1: he's a talented quarterback. He has a strong arm and 1849 01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:31,439 Speaker 1: throw the ball, doesn't mind taking it down, getting get 1850 01:33:31,439 --> 01:33:33,960 Speaker 1: ready to run, running the boots and everything. So just 1851 01:33:34,040 --> 01:33:36,120 Speaker 1: be prepared for that, just knowing he's a talented guy. 1852 01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:38,160 Speaker 1: So for us, we just make sure we're being on 1853 01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:40,280 Speaker 1: our p's and q's, having good eyes, being able to 1854 01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:43,160 Speaker 1: effect this effect, affect the past game while also being 1855 01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:44,960 Speaker 1: mindful that he will take the ball on the scrub. 1856 01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:48,360 Speaker 1: All right, have you played in Cleveland before? No, it's 1857 01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:50,360 Speaker 1: about first time playing up there. All right, it's gonna 1858 01:33:50,360 --> 01:33:52,320 Speaker 1: be an interesting one. Well, best of luck to you, 1859 01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:55,280 Speaker 1: Tyrell Adams as well as the Texans as you take 1860 01:33:55,320 --> 01:33:58,439 Speaker 1: on the Browns on Sunday in Cleveland.
