1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: Hello, Texans, Welcome to the show. Let's go Thanksgiving Week,

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: Colts Week. This is humongous the Texans at the Horseshoe

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Mark vandermir and John Harris with you. We'll

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: le Tim settle on in just a few moments. Here

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna do Who's Better, a special Tuesday holiday edition

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: of Who's Better, and a bunch of other stuff on

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: the way out, Johnny. But here we go with Colts Week.

8
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: My blood is starting to boil already. It's on and

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: some people around the building. You know, we have some

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: younger people who work here who are not familiar with

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: the history of this thing, and I'm here to remind

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: them or instruct them on how this is to go.

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: These are the Colts.

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: You're the hate leader, yes, and you have to hate

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: them like poison.

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: This is required.

17
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: Its job requirement number one when you work for the

18
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, hate the Horseshoe in a healthy sports way.

19
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: I always say that it's not real hate, it's sports hate.

20
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: But we want to be clear that it is hate

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: because it's the Horseshoe. It's Peyton Manning sixteen and two

22
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: against the Texans. It's Hasselbecke and tiper ohoh Dan Orlowski

23
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven, it's Jacoby Brissette.

24
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: It's all of it.

25
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: It's all of it, and it's horrible, and it's clown

26
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: mask playoff game here in twenty eighteen, all of it.

27
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: And you've done a lot better lately though, six and

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: four in your last ten at Indie, Tamiko Ryans, three

29
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: and one against the Colts.

30
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: I love all of this.

31
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: Anyway, what's your vibe? You always ask me this, what's

32
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: my gut reaction? What's my vibe? What's your vibe?

33
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: Here?

34
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: We are Tuesday. Game day is Sunday. It's a weird

35
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: week for all of humanity because it's Thanksgiving week. It's

36
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: a good week, but it's a weird week football wise.

37
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: Kind of gets you out of your routine a little bit.

38
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: But I think the team is sticking to their routine.

39
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: They'll have some turkey on Thursday, but they're working on it.

40
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: It's a Tuesday, mandatory day off of the players. We'll

41
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: have settled on in just a few moments here. But

42
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: what's your vibe, Johnny?

43
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: I've tried not to look at I say this.

44
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: I anticipate the Colts games every year because I know

45
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: what they they mean to the organization, I know what

46
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: they mean to you.

47
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: And me, and it's just we go up there for

48
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: the Combine every year.

49
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: We go up there for a game every year, so

50
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: we're up there twice a year and we see that

51
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: stadium and we're reminded of everything that happened between two

52
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: thousand and two and two thousand and fifteen and not

53
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: winning a game until twenty fifteen, and then having some

54
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: success after that. So we've had some good memories of

55
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: going in that building, and they haven't even meant just

56
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: good memories. They have been great memories. They have been

57
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 3: great football games. There have been tremendous wins. There have

58
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: been wins to put us in a playoff, like twenty three,

59
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 3: the fifteen game that ended the streak, the sixteen game

60
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: where we just stuck it down their throats and I

61
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: think we threw it like ten times all game in

62
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 3: that game. In twenty sixteen, another one we had to

63
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: have twenty eighteen. We're owing three and we have got

64
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: to win, and we somehow the last play of the

65
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: game kick offf a nine game winning streak. Winning that

66
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: particular game there are also the moments of being up

67
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 3: there for twenty twenty one, when watching Jonathan Taylor go

68
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: eighty five for a touchdown, miserable game, miserable Andrew Luck,

69
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: Andrew Luck throwing to God knows who Dante Montcreef in

70
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 3: the back of the end zone, you know, in fourteen,

71
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 3: Andrew Luck bringing him back even an eighteam though he

72
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: won a game to Kareem kickoff return. Twenty twelve regular

73
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 3: season finale. Yes, now I wasn't there, and I leave

74
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 3: that one out. Yeah, now I wasn't there for that one,

75
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: so it didn't happen.

76
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: But point being, I know you were there.

77
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 4: I'm just joking.

78
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: I'm just joking.

79
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: I think about all of those things, and it drums

80
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: up all these memories of games that we have played

81
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: and how every single play is just there's so much

82
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: that goes, you know, into this rivalry now, and I

83
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: think they finally see it, their fans, they finally see.

84
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: It as a rivalry.

85
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: It is helped that McAfee has JJ on and they

86
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: talk about this rivalry, you know, you know, twice a

87
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: year and then throughout the year.

88
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: I think the fans have have fed off of that.

89
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: I think Texans fans, it's always been there because it's

90
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 3: always like that was the white whale for so long.

91
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: Let's we've got to take them down now, or I

92
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 2: should say since twenty fifteen. That's twenty twelve. It's flipped.

93
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: You know, they've only they've only won one division title

94
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 3: since I've been on the sidelines.

95
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 2: That was my first year. You know.

96
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: Now they beat us in a playoff game. Here, we

97
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 3: beat them in the playing game in twenty three. This

98
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: is the rivalry that you that you love. It's one

99
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 3: of the it's one of the reason I remember when

100
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 3: you asked me be on the sidelines a twenty fourteen

101
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 3: I was like, man, I hope that we can get

102
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 3: to a point where we've got rivalries like the Steelers, Ravens,

103
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: you know, the Rams, the forty nine Ers, you know,

104
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 3: games like that that you look forward to, and you're like,

105
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: I am just I'm happy to beat in the building

106
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: that day for this, And that's kind of the way

107
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: I feel about this. And I know it's Thanksgiving, we

108
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 3: and it's fabulous. I got all my shopping done for

109
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 3: that on Sunday, honestly, so we can just dive right

110
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 3: into everything that we've got to do this week getting

111
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: ready for those guys and that, you know, so yeah,

112
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving Thursday and we'll be off on Thursday. But it

113
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 3: just doesn't derail the train of the Colts going up

114
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 3: there and a team that got so much acclaim early on,

115
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: so much. Oh my god, look at the Colts. They're

116
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: scoring thirty eight, they're scoring thirty one. And then some

117
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: reality hit, some reality of oh, yeah, you know, we

118
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 3: watch film too, We see what you're doing.

119
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 2: We're gonna slow you down a little bit.

120
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: And they haven't scored as much and they lose the

121
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 3: Steelers scoring twenty points. They did beat the Falcons over

122
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 3: in Germany, but they needed a last second fuel in

123
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: regulation to be able to do it. And then last

124
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: week they only scored twenty. Now there are times, and

125
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: have been times this year where us getting to twenty

126
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: was such a hurdle. I think we can move beyond that.

127
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 3: But now a sudden you look at them and they've

128
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 3: got questions about themselves.

129
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: Yeah they do. Are we what are we? Man? Maybe

130
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: we're not as good? Oh man?

131
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: Okay, Ofvin's the line is starting to struggle a little bit.

132
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor didn't run for a lot against the Chiefs.

133
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 3: They didn't give him the ball against the Chiefs or

134
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: trying to rely.

135
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: On Daniel Jones. Is this the real Daniel Jones? Wait?

136
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 2: Or is it the other Daniel Jones? Or is the

137
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: Giants Daniel Jones? Which guy is he?

138
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 3: So now maybe they're starting to have some questions and

139
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 3: that might be enough to just go in there, let

140
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 3: your defense do its thing and hopefully have CJ back

141
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 3: and you can go to war offensively and put some

142
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: points upon the board against that defense out without the

143
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 3: one guy you and I talk about all the time.

144
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 3: There's two guys we talk about all the time, Stuart

145
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: and Buckner. Buckner and Stuart. Well, it's just Stuart this week,

146
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 3: and that's big. That is big.

147
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor's big leading the NFL and rushing and Dimiico

148
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: talked about him yesterday. You better bring a lot of friends,

149
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: kind of like Derek Henry Away. You better bring a

150
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: lot of friends. He can bounce off tackles, he can

151
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: maintain his balance with one leg.

152
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: He talked about it.

153
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: That conversation is up on YouTube and it's blowing up

154
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: because our buddy Stressens took some clips out of that

155
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: as he always does, and the stuff went viral with

156
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia.

157
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: It did. It's so funny. The Bill's stand base, Oh Johnny.

158
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: One of the way they met about one of them

159
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: has five hundred thousand views, the one where Demiico's talking

160
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: about they handled the Texans in a way that they

161
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: don't see very often. They were trying to go one

162
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: on one with the matchups and pass protection of the Texans.

163
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: Just ate them alive.

164
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: Dimiko didn't say ate them alive, but the Bills fans

165
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: acknowledged that they ate them alive with the eight sacks

166
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: tying of team got you.

167
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: So it's like the Bills fans are kind of saying, oh,

168
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: they're bearing Joe Brady. We told you, Yeah, they're bearing

169
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: Joe Brady.

170
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: They're saying, look at this, this opposing coach is telling

171
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: you exactly what was coming, and you guys couldn't do

172
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: anything about it.

173
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: You guys did what you always do.

174
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: They're very down to the Bills offensive coordinator ship right

175
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: now Western New York. And you know, I'm so glad

176
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: the Texans got through that one with the victory. That

177
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: was a really well constructed week. A short week. We

178
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: talked about it last week, and I know we got

179
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: to move on from it, but I thought he handled

180
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: it brilliantly. In the postgame victory speech after the Tennessee game,

181
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: Demiko's like, Eh, this is great, Buffalo.

182
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 4: You know.

183
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: He just knew that they had to get to work

184
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: immediately on the bills and get everybody's minds right for

185
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 1: what was coming.

186
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: And they handled it great.

187
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: And our conversation with Nick while there tomorrow night that

188
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: might be up on YouTube already. I don't know, but

189
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: Nick talked about the pregame buzz prior to Thursday night

190
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: battle Red Night. I thought it was there, Johnny. When

191
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: I came into the building, I felt the buzz. I

192
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: felt that certain nights, certain nights you feel the energy

193
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: in the building like something really good is gonna happen.

194
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: I felt a Christmas Eve twenty sixteen against the Bengals

195
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: that was not exactly a barn Burnert were twelve to ten,

196
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: but you won the division that night. Certain nights have

197
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: that magic. That was one of them. You needed it,

198
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: and now you need another one on the road in Indy.

199
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 3: Yeahs It's one thing I'll say that I don't know

200
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 3: having anybody talk about it's favorite.

201
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: Nobody's talking about sort of thing.

202
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 3: But if you were to ask people, hey, what does

203
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 3: a head coach do? What should a head coach do?

204
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 3: All these different things that you have as a head coach,

205
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 3: you have to be able to do. I think one

206
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 3: of the things as a head coach you have to

207
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: be able to do, especially if you were a coordinator

208
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: or your calm plays, is to know when it's time

209
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: to step back from that. Trust whoever it is you

210
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 3: have on your staff, they handle it. I have to

211
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: be a head coach. Maybe the other side of the

212
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 3: ball is struggling a little bit, or whatever the case

213
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: might be, and you've got to see the whole picture.

214
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,599
Speaker 3: I give Demko Ryans all kinds of credit because it

215
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 3: would have been very easy for Demiko to just continue

216
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 3: as is, keep calling the defense, keep rocking on. But

217
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 3: he made a change and said, Matt Burke, you got

218
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 3: the defense. I got to make sure that I helped

219
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 3: offense a little bit more. Maybe there's scenes, maybe I

220
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 3: can give them a few thoughts from a defensive perspective.

221
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 3: And at that point he turned into the head coach

222
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 3: we already knew he was, but taking that step was massive.

223
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 3: I don't think people understand it. Oh it's easy, just

224
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 3: give it a play. I think that's one of the

225
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: reasons why getting ready for Thursday night was even better

226
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: this year than it had been in previous years, because

227
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: he was preparing the team to get ready to play

228
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 3: on Thursday. Instead of just I got to focus on

229
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: getting the defensive game play together. It was I got

230
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 3: to focus the team on Thursday. Matt Burke, you've got

231
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 3: the defense, you handle it. Whatever I gotta do, Nick Keyley,

232
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 3: whatever I gotta do to help on that side.

233
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: But I am here to get the team ready for Thursday.

234
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 3: And I think that is something that I will give

235
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 3: Demico Ryan's credit forever for that decision because it then

236
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: put him in that decision where in that position where

237
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 3: he could help everybody in all phases.

238
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, delegation is a big part of being a

239
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: good leader, and it's hard.

240
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: It's hard to do, especially that's your expertise. It's like

241
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: the chef saying, I make the Soux flee better than anybody.

242
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: I've won James Beard Awards for this, and now I'm

243
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: turning it over to the Sioux chef. And the Sioux

244
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: chef might be really good. But it's still my baby.

245
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: It's my name's on it. People know I do it well.

246
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's a great point you make. And I

247
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: really look at this team Johnny as developing. Look, I

248
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: know it's a collective unit, but it's three phases, right.

249
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: In one of the phases special teams. I know, Frank's

250
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: got to be sick about two of the last three weeks,

251
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: so they give up returns for touchdowns and you know

252
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: he's working on that harder than anybody.

253
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: But the offense is developing. It's just a slower pace.

254
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: Because it's a new product, really, right, Nick Caley and

255
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: the new system the defense, third year of the program.

256
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: Now you've got Matt Burke calling the plays, but they

257
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: got the same guys in the same philosophy and it's

258
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: not like a new system or something. So they are

259
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: doing really well, clearly too. Tents of a point off

260
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: the lead in scoring defense behind the rams, we'll see

261
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: how that shakes out down the stretch, and still far

262
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: and away the yardage leader, in fact, putting up a

263
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: low yards number that will challenge some of the best

264
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: defenses in the NFL over the last quarter century.

265
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: When it's all said and done.

266
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: But you have some tough games on the way out

267
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: here of the regular season. Obviously Sunday another one with

268
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: the Colts, the Chiefs. I don't have to name them

269
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: all for you. Very difficult to that end. Yeah, tough

270
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: schedules down stretch for us, there's no doubt. I mean Colts, Chiefs,

271
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: Colts again. Yeah, we do have Raiders.

272
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 3: Cardinals have not fared extremely well, but we know those

273
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: are going to be tough games because those guys at

274
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 3: that time.

275
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: Of the year, may I have a lot to play

276
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: for playing loose. We'll be playing loose.

277
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: And then you got the Chargers, which you never know

278
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 3: what Chargers team you're gonna get. You might get the

279
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: got the Chargers, or you might get the Oh my god,

280
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 3: these guys are terrible Chargers. Fox Sports put out the

281
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 3: five teams that have got the toughest remaining schedules based

282
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 3: on combined winning percentage of remaining opponents.

283
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 2: Okay, the number one team is Bay.

284
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 3: They gotta face the Broncos, the Bears twice, the Lions,

285
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 3: and the Ravens.

286
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: The Bears twice, Bears. It's a little bit carbohydrate ish,

287
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: I know, but I get it.

288
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: Okay. Number two the Indianapolis Colts. Tough schedule on the

289
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: way out.

290
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, face the Seahawks, the Niners, and the Jaguars twice

291
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 3: in addition to US twice.

292
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: Jaguars have some carbo hydrates going as well. Yes, Jaguars

293
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: and Bears are kind of similar now in the quarterback

294
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: play so much, but in terms of record being maybe

295
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: you know, somebody posted.

296
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 3: The Bears wins the other night who the Bears had beaten,

297
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 3: and it was it was pretty striking that they had

298
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 3: beaten some teams that you know.

299
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: They beat the Steelers without Rogers.

300
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: Right they But I give them credit for they beat

301
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: the Commanders without Jadan Dans.

302
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, I get it the wins, I get it wins.

303
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 3: I'm with you, though, however, you're winning getting better. That

304
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 3: team is getting better, definitely are getting better. He's a

305
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 3: good coach. They're getting better. Caleb is playing better. You

306
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 3: know what else is really good?

307
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: Tims said Johnny and I had a chance to catch

308
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: up with the big defensive tackle, Tim, how's it going?

309
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: Good to see it?

310
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 4: Always amazing to be on set with you guys.

311
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 2: All Right, it's coltsweek.

312
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: We have a lot to discuss here, Tim and I

313
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: know you've been out and about the community. You're out

314
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: about that Buffalo backfield last Thursday. What about that game?

315
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: What about the defensive efforts specifically, Tim.

316
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 5: I feel like when it came down to understanding our

317
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 5: keys of the game, you know, being able to start

318
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 5: four and being able to contain seventeen, I feel like

319
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 5: we were really good at that.

320
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 2: You know.

321
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 5: I feel like we were were good at getting him

322
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 5: off the spot, and I felt like we were good

323
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 5: at just maintaining him, you know, not letting him get comfortable,

324
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 5: not letting him get momentum, you know, keep kind of

325
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 5: keeping them poises, keeping them fire down.

326
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 4: You know.

327
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 5: I feel like we did a really good job swarming,

328
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 5: and we did a really good job tackling. We could

329
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 5: have cleaned up a little more tackling in some areas,

330
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 5: but I feel like we did a really good job swarming.

331
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 5: And when we could play and be dominant on defense,

332
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 5: I feel like it's not really much teams can do.

333
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 4: You know, obviously it's confimentary football.

334
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 5: But like when we lead and we can lead defensively,

335
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 5: and we can lead and keep getting the offense back

336
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 5: to the ball and keep giving them opportunities, this is

337
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 5: like this is a defense dream.

338
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: Tim Wee talked coach Ryan's and one of the things

339
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,119
Speaker 3: he talked about was the push from you guys inside.

340
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: He said, was probably the best you guys said had

341
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 3: done all year in that regard, and obviously you had

342
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 3: a sack. Rio had to sack it was and it's

343
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: it's been good. But he was like, it was that

344
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 3: much better. And I said, one of the things that

345
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: stood out to me was how intelligently you guys rushed.

346
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 3: It wasn't just for guys just screaming up field just

347
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 3: looking for a gap and going. You guys were really

348
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 3: smart about how you went about it, so that Josh

349
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 3: really had no escape lanes that you guys in the

350
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: inside kind of bottled that up. Daniel and Will and

351
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 3: Barnett and and Deniko was out there. You guys were

352
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: they were containing from the outside. They didn't go all

353
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: the way high around him, let him find to see.

354
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: You guys really rushed him intelligently too.

355
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 5: So it's crazy, uh, I would say, like playing inside,

356
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 5: you know, especially when it comes to rushing, you got

357
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 5: to be a little selfless, you know, Uh, you gotta

358
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 5: kind of give to get you know.

359
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 4: I feel like, uh a lot of.

360
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 5: Teams or a lot of a lot of guys, they

361
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 5: kind of get frust frustrated with, you know, doing trying

362
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 5: to even out the rush. But as you see, like

363
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 5: the more you even out the rush, the more things

364
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 5: open up. You know, teams start to you know, especially

365
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 5: when d hunt and will get going, like teams start.

366
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 4: To kind of like favor them.

367
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 5: So like the guards is coming off faster, like the

368
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 5: passing games faster, the pass sets are faster, so.

369
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 4: The game kind of speeds up.

370
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 5: Like the more that we disrupt the game, and all

371
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 5: you gotta do is like inside, it's all about being

372
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 5: patient and it's all about this even out the rush.

373
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 5: You know, obviously you want to take your shot, but

374
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 5: you know, I feel like your shots come over time,

375
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 5: and like the more that we can stay is one

376
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 5: like and it's crazy because we understand each other, Like

377
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 5: when I'm when I'm when I'm rushing with one of

378
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 5: them guys, like they know that you got this opportunity

379
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 5: to go inside if you want, and I got you.

380
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 5: So it's like being on the same page with them guys.

381
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 5: It's really a big thing. Like I feel like we

382
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 5: don't really get off when it comes to even like

383
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 5: if like if it's a play and I'm talking to

384
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 5: my other detacle, like we know how to communicate, we

385
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 5: know how to even out the rust. So it's it's

386
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 5: really being on the same side and just being able

387
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 5: to play with who you next to.

388
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: Tim, what about preparing for that game on a short

389
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: week because you were coming off an emotional win over

390
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee that was the last second win and coaches in

391
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: the locker room during his speech, all right, we gotta

392
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: move on right now. We're going on to Buffalo in

393
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: a few days and you don't have that full blast practice.

394
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: You got to get mentally ready, and you executed well

395
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: doing that.

396
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 4: You know, it's crazy in an I applied coach. You

397
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 4: know this.

398
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 5: This is how mentally detailed he gets us, you know,

399
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 5: as far as understanding how we need to be, the

400
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 5: places we need to be, how we need to attack,

401
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 5: see the formations, Like I feel like you slowed it

402
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 5: down for us to speed it up, and it was

403
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 5: I feel like it was easier during the game because

404
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 5: it's like when you get when you get a picture

405
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 5: that slowed down, it's kind of like, all okay, you

406
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 5: get your keys, you get your keys. You see here,

407
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 5: you do this, you do that, and shoot, I'm not

408
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 5: gonna lie. We practice extremely hard, so you know, like

409
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 5: being able to have that change up of being able

410
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 5: to see the picture. It's kind of easier to play

411
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 5: faster when you can see it in a different lens.

412
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 5: And I feel like he's been doing a great job,

413
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 5: you know, how he's been practicing us and how he's

414
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 5: been just like the focus and the key to details

415
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 5: of our success.

416
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: So Friday play, Thursday night awesome.

417
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 3: When celebra in the locker room, I'm sure family people

418
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 3: around you like Tim Adaboy, nice job. Yeah, your defense

419
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 3: is great. You guys are you know? Super Bowl this

420
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: and Super Bowl that. They're telling you everything is great.

421
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 3: You turn on the TV. There's y'all's picture, there's the defense.

422
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 3: They're talking about everything. Everything is great, it's all rosy.

423
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,320

428
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 5: Tim, you know, it's crazy, you know, being in the

429
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 5: league eight years, you know, I have like a next

430
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 5: play mentality and it's crazy, like even even when it

431
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 5: comes to games, like I might forget what happened, because

432
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 5: you got.

433
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 4: To move on. You can't do it. To do that,

434
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 4: you can't well on.

435
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 5: You know, a dynamic game that we have, you got

436
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 5: to be able to pick up from it, so, you know,

437
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 5: and I feel like coach has also done a good

438
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 5: job of all right, Okay, we did what we did well.

439
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 5: We're not gonna pat ourselves on the back for that.

440
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 4: You know. That's what we that's our standard. That's what

441
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 4: we expect.

442
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 5: If a team want to sit there and drop back,

443
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 5: you know, and we expect to get there. And if

444
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 5: a team want to sit there and pass the ball

445
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 5: the whole game, you should see a lot of a

446
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 5: lot of texting helmets and a lot of swarming going on.

447
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 4: Like that's just what it is, all right.

448
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: One more on the Buffalo game. Your celebration.

449
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 4: So when I was in high school, I used to

450
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 4: have a celebration.

451
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 5: So when I used to sell people on holler tape,

452
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 5: I usually clap and I used to hate it. I

453
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 5: used to be like, man, don't look at my celebration

454
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 5: after I make a play. You know. I just feel

455
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 5: like as a as a football player, you gotta have

456
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 5: swag when you're playing, and you know, So when I

457
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 5: got to college, I kind of like I was playing

458
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 5: around and I did this thing, and my teammates is like, man,

459
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 5: do that. So I kind of like stuck with it,

460
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 5: and I call it the penguin.

461
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 4: So I do.

462
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 5: I don't know why I call it the penguin, but

463
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 5: I do a thing when I bounce left or right.

464
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 5: But this year, you know, they call me Tim Time here,

465
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 5: so I made sure I added my little Tim Time

466
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 5: part at the end. Just so this is a stamp, like, yeah,

467
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 5: just the defender, like the cherry on top. So you know,

468
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 5: it's just something that I got swagged. I like to

469
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 5: play with swagging. You know, you gotta have fun.

470
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 2: No doubt, you definitely have fun. There's no question about that.

471
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: Okay, I want to ask this relates to the Buffalo game,

472
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 3: but it also relates to playing anywhere.

473
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: In the league, especially on the road. But this happened

474
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: at home.

475
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 3: But I was I was walking back behind the pregame

476
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 3: and I could hear this fan. I could hear it

477
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 3: and the fans just he's saying your name. He said

478
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 3: something about you're on the wrong team, you should be

479
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 3: on the other team, all this kind of stuff. How

480
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 3: do you drown all that out, all that noise that

481
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 3: comes from fans and they're rising.

482
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: You and hey ninety eight, you know, and they're.

483
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 3: Saying things about you. How do you kind of block

484
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 3: all that out as a player, Tam.

485
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 5: You know, Shoot, I've had my I've had my ups

486
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 5: and downs with defan and interactions. But you know, I

487
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 5: feel like the thing I learned over it. You know,

488
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 5: they're fans for a reason, you know, and I'm a

489
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 5: player for a reason. And you know, if you don't

490
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 5: let it affect you as not and if you're entertaining,

491
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 5: just back it up. That's so that's one thing I'll say.

492
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 5: You know, fans are going to be there to try

493
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 5: to throw you off your game or they're gonna be there,

494
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 5: and you know, obviously they're gonna be die hard. You know,

495
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 5: I played for the team for him, but I move on.

496
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 5: You can't live in the past. Uh, And you know,

497
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 5: it's just it's part.

498
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 4: Of the game.

499
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 5: You know, we played football. You get criticized, you got

500
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 5: people talking trash you do with it, going about.

501
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: It, Tim, You've done well against a lot of running

502
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: backs this year. Now you have Jonathan Taylor top rusher

503
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: in the league, and is there a secret sauce? Without

504
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: giving away the secrets, but what do you guys need

505
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: to do to help slow him down.

506
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 4: Make him uncomfortable? You know, he's a dynamic back.

507
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 5: You know, he's obviously one of the home running backs,

508
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 5: home run hitting backs in this league. You know, kind

509
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 5: of comparisons like Sakwan. You know, if you let him

510
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 5: get and she's gonna take him off. So you know,

511
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 5: just keeping him composed and just keeping him caged and

512
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 5: making sure that we're just making him uncomfortable all game is.

513
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 5: And that's you know, we play him twice a year,

514
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 5: so you know, we know how he gets and we

515
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 5: know he wants to extend expand plays. We know he

516
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 5: wants to kind of get outside, and we know he

517
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 5: wants to try to get on the little guys and

518
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 5: kind of make a miss. But you know we're gonna

519
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 5: do a good jobs forming them and keeping them keeping

520
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 5: them composed.

521
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: Okay, every time we visit with you, it's a Virginia

Speaker 5: and how he runs things. And you know, I feel

531
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 5: like that's what Virginia Tech needs, you know, just a

Speaker 1: We've got that, We've got AFC South questions a plenty,

579
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: We've got a Thanksgiving game question. We might even have

580
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving question itself. It's Texans Radio right back into

581
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: the fray here on Texans Radio. Mark Vandermre and John

582

Speaker 1: Harris with you, and it's time to play.

583
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 4: Now.

584
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: It's not Thursday, as you all know, because Thursday is Thanksgiving,

585
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: so that'll be a different kind of day.

586
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: I'm a typical radio guy.

587
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,000

589
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: it's Tuesday. Anyway. It is to to play the game

590
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: that we usually play on Thursdays, and we love it.

591
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 2: It's called Who's Better?

592
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: Here we go, all right, Johnny, who's better in terms

593
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: of what's better? Better division AFC South or AFC North.

594
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: I will give you the breakdown. The AFC North featuring

595
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens in first place in a tie with

596
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers, but they have the tiebreaker for now. Six

597
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: and five, both those teams. Then it's the Bengals three

598
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: and eight and Cleveland three and eight. Burrow comes back

599
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: this week. They're playing on Thanksgiving. AFC South, Colt Saintan three,

600
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: Jaguars seven and four, Texans six and five, Tennessee. Just

601
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: watching one and ten? Who's better? What division is better?

602
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 2: Well?

603
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 3: The Bengals are what three and seven, three and eight,

604
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 3: three and eight, Yet one of those wins was without

605
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow against the Jacksonville Jaguar.

606
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: That's right, thank you very much for doing. Now we

607
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 2: beat the Ravens, Steelers beat the Colts.

608
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 3: So head to head matchups that I can think of

609
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 3: right now, I'm trying to think that the Titans. The

610
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 3: Titans would then play the Browns. I don't think those

611
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 3: two teams have played, but I don't recall either way.

612
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: There are four divisions are gonna play the Browns in

613
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks.

614
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are four divisions in football that have three

615
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: teams with six wins. AFC South, AFC West, and those

616
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: two divisions play one another, but also the NFC West

617
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 3: and who do we play this year? The NFC freaking West.

618
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 3: The other one is the NFC North. So I think

619
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 3: that the AFC South's top three teams are better than

620
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 3: the three teams that are in the NFC North right now,

621
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 3: because I think the Steelers.

622
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 2: Are for Gayzy.

623
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 1: I just think that in the AFC North, so you

624
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: think the Ravens with a banged up Lamar Jackson, the

625
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: Steelers with banged up Aaron Rodgers if he does play,

626
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: because Mason Rudolph played the last game, and the Bengal

627
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: with Joe Burrow coming back, I don't know how he's

628
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: gonna be, but Blacko's been playing for.

629
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 3: I just think THEFC South is better than the AFC

630
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 3: North this year. It's always a one year. I hate

631
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 3: when people are like, well, the AFC North is always

632
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 3: better than no, no, no, We're talking about one off, one

633
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 3: year situation right now. And I think going into the future,

634
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 3: depending on what Cam War doesn't Tennesse see how Trevor

635
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 3: Lawrence grows, what obviously CJ does here, what the Colts

636
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 3: do at quarterback right now, the AFC North is not

637
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 3: as good as AFC South.

638
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: Well, this is something that we wouldn't have said in August.

639
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: Problem that's correct because we still know how good it

640
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: was going to be. With the Colt's right. I didn't

641
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: know the Colts would have eight wins at this point

642
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: of the season. I never would have predicted that, and

643
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: the success they've had now. They might melt down from here,

644
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: but they're at eight right now. They got a good

645
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: shot to get to nine to ten, you would think,

646
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: so we'll see how that goes.

647
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: And then you're right. The Jags as well, seven and four.

648
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: This point, I don't think I would have predicted that,

649
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 1: So it's a good point. I think the AFC South

650
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: is better. That's why I brought it up. Next one.

651
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: We're gonna stay in the division battles here. It's the

652
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: AFC South versus the NFC East.

653
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: I went there.

654
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: Because you have the Eagles at eight and three. Are

655
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: they good? Yeah, of course they're good. But how good

656
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys at five, five and one coming on strong?

657
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: Are they really defense better? We'll see Commanders and three

658
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: and eight injured Jayden Daniels and the Giants at two

659
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: and ten. They're in every game. They make it exciting,

660
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: especially last week with Jamis Winston, but they tend to

661
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: lose every game they play. So what do you think

662
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: NFC East, AFC.

663
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 3: South, Who's better ANFC South NFC East this year, I

664
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 3: would rather have crossed over with that.

665
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 4: Now.

666
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 3: I will say cow is at five to five and

667
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 3: one and been a little bit of a surprise. But

668
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 3: defensively they made the trade for Quinn Williams and they

669
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 3: brought in Kenny Clark with the Mike Parsis trade. So

670
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 3: those playing together on the inside. But you also had

671
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 3: a number of guys that came back from injury. They

672
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: got like Malik Hooker back, they got de Marvin and

673
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 3: over shown back. They got a few guys back in

674
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: on the defense, and it it showed they played a

675
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 3: little bit better defense, especially in the second half against Eagles.

676
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 3: And I think eber Flu's system, once you catch on,

677
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 3: I think you can play fast and free. It's not

678
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 3: a terribly complex system, but they play it well together

679
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 3: and they're fast. So the Cowboys I think are better

680
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 3: than I expected. But the Commanders have just been a mess.

681
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 3: And if mariotas playing, they're they're not very good at all,

682
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 3: I don't think. And then the Giants are the Giants right.

683
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: One of the most mystifying mystifying results this year was

684
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: Denver having to score thirty three points in the fourth

685
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 3: quarter to beat the Giants. Weird mystifying. Now, they did

686
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 3: have Scataboy in that game, and they had Jackson Dart.

687
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 3: But the Giants have played some good ball at times,

688
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 3: like they played really well against the Lions the day,

689
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 3: but overall, it just hasn't been a good football product.

690
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: We've talked about the AFC South, it's been you know,

691
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 3: the Texans did start off well, but they weren't getting hammered.

692
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 3: They were playing well against teams are really good. I

693
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 3: mean every game in the power rankings. Top three teams

694
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 3: i've seen are Rams, Seahawks, and Denver, Denver, those three

695
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 3: and the Texans played those three and it took a

696
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: couple of them to come from behind and beat them.

697
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 3: So that said, I mean, DAFC South has probably been

698
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: a notch above what everybody thought. I think the NFC

699
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 3: East is kind of what everybody thought, except for the Cowboys.

700
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people thought after the Parsons trade, like.

701
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 2: Come on, Jerry, you're full of it.

702
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:46,719
Speaker 3: But the Cowboys have played pretty darn well, and go Cowboys.

703
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 2: Get the six, five and one on Thursday against the Chiefs.

704
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: That would help out everybody over in the AFC, since

705
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: you brought it up. Better chance to win Kansas City

706
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: or Dallas on Turkey Day in Arlington, Go Cowboys. Indeed,

707
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: I can't stand saying that this is gonna be a

708
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: tough one to watch, just like it was tough to

709
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: watch the Chiefs play the Colts.

710
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 2: And you're rooting for the Chiefs, I guess, but gosh,

711
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 2: that hurt.

712
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: Of course you're rooting for the Chiefs because you want

713
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: to win the division, and now you want the Chiefs

714
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: to get all dinged up against Dallas. Nothing permanent, just

715
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: a few bumps and bruises, and everybody sits the following

716
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: week because they're not feeling good anyway. Better chance to win,

717
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys Chiefs.

718
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 3: I was curious what the spread was. What do you

719
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 3: think the spread is on this game?

720
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: Dallas Chiefs by one, Chiefs three? All right, Chiefs three.

721
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 3: So they think the Chiefs are probably on a neutral field,

722
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 3: almost a touchdown favorite. I think the Chiefs are going

723
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 3: to end up winning this game. I don't want it

724
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 3: to be. I don't want it to be. I don't know,

725
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 3: but I just feel like Mahomes is going back.

726
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 2: He likes coming back to Texas. He's back home.

727
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 3: I think whenever the Chiefs have alarm bells going off,

728
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 3: and they were going off when they were down twenty nine,

729
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 3: they respond. And I think that they'll start this game

730
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 3: with a sense of urgency, knowing, look, we take care

731
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 3: of our business.

732
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 2: We know we're better than the Cowboys.

733
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 3: We'll walk out of here seven and five, and we're

734
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 3: gonna put pressure on teams. Den Denver schedule down the stretches.

735
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: Not easy.

736
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, Denver starts gonna Denver's gonna feel us, and

737
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 3: then Denver has to come to case. So I think

738
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 3: there is a sense of urgency there for them to

739
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 3: go win this game. I think they'll aut score the

740
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 3: Cowboys thirty four to twenty nine.

741
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: Wow, thirty four nine, So the Cowboys get points, but

742
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: they don't execute in the clutch.

743
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it'll be one of those games where

744
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 3: the Chiefs kind of have it in hand. It won't

745
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 3: get more than ten, seven to ten, but they'll have

746
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 3: that lead throughout. But the Cowboys just won't be able

747
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 3: to get over the hump. They'll keep it close. Even

748
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 3: when it feels like the Chiefs are gonna pull away,

749
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 3: they'll get back in it.

750
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 2: But in the end, the Chiefs will end up winning

751
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 2: by five.

752
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: Well, to your point, the Eagles had a twenty one

753
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: nothing lead and then they started kicking the ball around.

754
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: And when you do that, does it really it tells

755
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: a different story about your team. It doesn't necessarily tell

756
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: about your team's talent as much as the discipline and

757
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: the moment and that kind of thing. Look, we went

758
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: through it in Jacksonville with the turnovers and then against

759
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: Jacksonville again with what happened here at NRG Stadium. But

760
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: you came back to win that game, so I can

761
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: see what you're saying. I think Dallas can score points

762
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: on this Chiefs team. We'll all be watching. It's a

763
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: great slate of Thanksgiving games.

764
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 2: It's gonna be really good. It's gonna be good.

765
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: And then you have the Prime Video games on Friday.

766
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: And I say games because I think they did a

767
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: smart thing. They've got the Bears and the Eagles going

768
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL game, and then they have an NBA

769
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: doubleheader right afterwards, and they're promoting them all together like, oh,

770
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 1: you got to be around for all three of these,

771
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: And I think that's smart because while you're watching the NFL,

772
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: they're going to try to hold you for those NBA games.

773
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: They'll do anything to have you stick around, have a

774
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: big chunk of the audience stick around for those NBA games.

775
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: So we'll see if they can pull it off. They've

776
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: got the money to promote it. They're spending a lot

777
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: on other networks to promote that triple header if you

778
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: will on Friday. So there's an actual NFL triple header

779
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: Thursday that you'll hear on sports Radio six ten. So

780
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: if you're out in about, going to Grandma's house, getting turkey,

781
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: if you're working, if you're coming back from the Turkey Bowl,

782
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: NFL football on Sports Radio six ten all day long Thursday.

783
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: We're not going to do a show, but we will

784
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: be watching and listening as well.

785
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 4: All right.

786
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 1: Next, one better coaching job to take? And I probably

787
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: asked this one before, but it's worth updating because week

788
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: to week things change and opinions vary and all that.

789
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: The New York Giants or the Tennessee Titans. Which is

790
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: a better job to take? You're a head coaching candidate,

791
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 1: You're Steve Starkeysing. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, kidding, sark Giants Titans?

792
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: Which one is a better job? Johnny.

793
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 3: It's tough because the one thing that you start with,

794
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 3: and I think if you ask coaching candidates this, the

795
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 3: first thing you start with is ownership.

796
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 2: So compare ownership. Uh, I don't want.

797
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 3: To do that then you and it's kind of a push,

798
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 3: but I would probably lean Giants being a little bit

799
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 3: better in that regard.

800
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what about general managership.

801
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 3: Well that's the next part general managership. So with the

802
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 3: Giants you got Joe Shane. With the Titans, you have

803
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 3: this Chad Brinker Mike burganzi thing.

804
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 2: Which might be good but you don't know.

805
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 3: But you don't even really know who's in charge like

806
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 3: you do, but you don't, Well you gotta find that out. Yeah, exactly,

807
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 3: these are all things you got to find out. With

808
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 3: the Giants, you know it's Joe Shane. So it's like, well,

809
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,720
Speaker 3: wait a second, we're in this situation because did Joe Shane,

810
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 3: Did Joe Shane go and get good into football players,

811
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 3: or did Mike or did Brian Dable just not take

812
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 3: the players he had and make them better.

813
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: I think they have some talent. I mean, when you

814
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: look at the defense, they got some talent. They've sprung

815
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: a bunch of leaks in the fourth quarter and it's

816
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: historically bad, and Shane Bowen got fired, but Dexter Lawrence

817
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: and Burns and man, I look at what's on that line.

818
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 2: It's pretty good.

819
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 4: It is good.

820
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 2: Let's go to step number three, quarterback. Yeah, the big one.

821
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 3: So are you sold on cam Ward or you sold

822
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 3: on Jackson Dart? Now, all things considered, I don't like

823
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 3: the general manager ship thing in Tennessee.

824
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: I know you don't it.

825
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 3: I do not like it because I don't I don't

826
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 3: know who's in charge there, and I would want a

827
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 3: lot of clarity on that.

828
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 2: And I still, even at that point, don't.

829
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 3: Know how great I would feel about it if I

830
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 3: take the Giants job. I know Joe Shane is probably

831
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 3: on the outs with management considering how things went with Berkley,

832
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 3: et cetera. So I know, if I take the Giants job,

833
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 3: if things don't go well as a coach. I'm not

834
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 3: saying this is like I would handle it this way,

835
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 3: but you could say, hey, look we aren't very good,

836
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 3: we don't have great players. This guy gave me just crap, right,

837
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 3: So then you can go find your general manager you

838
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 3: want to work with for the next how many every years?

839
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,919
Speaker 3: And look, there's always something about doing it in New York.

840
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 3: I think cam Ward's style is eventually going around into

841
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 3: shape in Tennessee. Jackson Dart has to mature in New York,

842
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 3: and I don't know, he's got a long way to

843
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 3: go with that. And when I say mature, I'm not

844
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 3: talking about a mature individual. I'm just talking about his

845
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 3: game maturing. He's got to quit running into brick walls

846
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 3: trying to pick up you know, third and twenty three

847
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 3: and five yards into his run, he's running into a

848
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 3: linebacker trying to run him over.

849
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: If I give you JJ McCarthy or Jackson Dart right now,

850
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: who you take.

851
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 2: At Jackson Dart? Okay, Jackson Dart, you've seen enough, right?

852
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 4: Yeah?

853
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 2: Ok.

854
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 3: I wasn't a big McCarthy guy. I remember Paul Allen

855
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 3: asked me about that. Paul said, in that draft, he said,

856
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 3: would you trade up for Keavid Williams, Yes, would you

857
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 3: trade up for jayde Daniels, yes? Would you trade up

858
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 3: for and there's a third one, oh, Drake May I

859
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 3: said yes, would you trade up for J. J.

860
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 2: McCarthy No? Okay, that was your answer. That was my

861
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 2: trade up. Okay, one more for you, all right?

862
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: Better side dish for Thanksgiving stuffing or dressing, whatever you

863
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: want to call it, our favorite kind yep or sweet

864
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: potato pie or castle roll or whatever you want to

865
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: call that.

866
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 2: Or should I throw in the wild card? What did

867
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 2: you say? You like your corn brew let? Oh?

868
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, my Cremberwley corn. So here's the story behind a

869
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 3: Cremberle Preley corn. In twenty twenty one, Omar, Omar, Marj,

870
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 3: You've been a pr group put together a media dinner

871
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 3: out in Arizona and we went to Steak forty eight

872
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 3: and I remember.

873
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 2: Me, you andre something out there, but go with it? Yeah, yeah,

874
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 2: something I think it's who was anyways, Steak with a number?

875
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, they put out a They put on a corn

876
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 3: dish and it looked like it had like a crumbrew

877
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 3: late topping on it. I was kind of a little

878
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 3: bit like, uh, Drake dove in and took a bite.

879
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 3: He's like, Johnny, you gotta jump on that. So they like, okay,

880
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 3: So I took a little bit and it was tremendous

881
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 3: to a point where I was like searching for the

882
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 3: recipe before I left. It was unbelievably good. That has

883
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 3: become my favorite side.

884
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 2: Okay, so that would take number one.

885
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 3: I would balance that out with I make my own

886
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 3: mash potatoes. I got a great recipe I found from

887
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 3: a guy that I love online, Sam Cooking Guy. Take

888
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 3: his mashed potatoes and corn and I'm good.

889
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 2: Okay.

890
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: Coming up, we threw a question at Nick Cassario about

891
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: which NFL rule change over the recent years, the recent years,

892
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: maybe the last ten years or so is he most

893
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: grateful for We'll have his answer tomorrow. We'll have Johnny's

904
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 3: call from a particular period of the game. And so

905
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 3: the drive to me that's the most important is that drive,

906
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 3: right before the first half is Overhig that touchdown drive.

907
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 3: It's really good, so you'll hear that in its entirety.

908
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 3: Of course, I cut out the commercials and any breaks

909
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 3: that we took, so I cut those out, so it's

910
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 3: it's a really good listen.

911
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 2: Going back and listened to it myself, it was fun. Listen.

912
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: This is like the scene in Big where Tom Hanks

913
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 1: calls downstairs said, can you get me the Giants winning

914
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with all the commercials edited out? Yeah,

915
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: and his friend who's still twelve, says, you're the luckiest

916
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: guy I know. Okay, dated reference from a good movie.

917
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: I won't get fined for that, all right, Johnny. Here

918
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: it is Nick Casario. We asked him this and it

919
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: might be up on the YouTube video right now. It'll

920
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: certainly be heard here tomorrow night. But since it's Thanksgiving,

921
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 1: you have to tell me what rule change over recent

922
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: years in the NFL you are most grateful for.

923
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 2: Okay, here they are.

924
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: Here are your choices over time, meaning both teams get

925
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: the ball. Basically each team gets a possession roughly, all right,

926
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: because you could score to pick six and whatever or whatever,

927
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: or like fumble the kickoff or turn somebody runs it in,

928
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get possession, right, all right? Anyway, overtime adjustment,

929
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: kickoff rule, and that includes everything the dynamic kickoff rule

930
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: five yards apart, thirty five and forty and you get

931
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: the touch back at the thirty five and all that

932
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: entails seventeen games schedule throwing seven playoff teams per conference.

933
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, throw in okay, or replay assist. So

934
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: it's replay assist seventeen games on the seven teams in

935
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 1: each conference making the playoffs, dynamic kickoff or overtime adjustment.

936
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 2: What is it that you are most grateful for?

937
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 4: I like the.

938
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 2: Seventeen playoff adjustment. You three it in there. I was like,

939
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I like that one.

940
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 3: Seventeen playoff adjustment I think is pretty awesome. It just

941
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 3: keeps an extra team in the mix. Actually, Week eighteen

942
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 3: becomes two or three more teams still in the mix

943
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 3: that might not have been with six.

944
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: So I like that. I mean, I love a sexy.

945
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 2: Week eighteen is just I mean, I don't know how

946
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 2: you top it. And it's the weekend where you used

947
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 2: to play the wild card round.

948
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, So from that standpoint, I like seeing that

949
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 3: it does reduce one of the buys, which I like

950
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 3: teams being rewarded for what they've.

951
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 2: Done in the regular season. You know that that's a downside.

952
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 3: So one of the teams loses a bye. That said,

953
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 3: it makes being the number one team in your conference

954
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 3: that much more important. True, and I like that that

955
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 3: team gets a buy. That team gets rewarded. Now, it

956
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 3: didn't pay off for Detroit last year once they got beat,

957
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 3: but that was in large part because their entire defense

958
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 3: was decimated with injuries. So that was more it than

959
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 3: Washington going in there and you know, upsetting them. It

960
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 3: was more about what Detroit didn't have.

961
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 1: The ability to not play around at the rind of

962
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: year is huge mass and when you look at coaches

963
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 1: playoff records, I don't think it's fair to not give

964
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: them a dub for all the regular season wins it

965
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: took to get the buy. I think Dallas actually I'm

966
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: not going to defend them, but we talk about how

967
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: they've only won X number of playoff games since you know,

968
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: the last thirty years, and all that the Texans have

969
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: more playoff wins or as many as they do since

970
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: the Texans started. But I know that Wade at a

971
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 1: year where they skipped a wild card round because that

972
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,280
Speaker 1: was when two teams were getting both seven. Okay, because

973
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: that was the Giants year. You got to get credit

974
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: for that. You got to get credit for that. You

975
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: should get some kind of notch in your belt for

976
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: getting the buy. That's a huge achievement. We don't have

977
00:43:59,960 --> 00:44:02,479
Speaker 1: to play this week and we're already in the divisional round.

978
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 4: Ye.

979
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean the Texans have been in the divisional round

980
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: a few times but have never gotten past that. Getting

981
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: to the divisional round is huge.

982
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's massive. So I just think throwing a seventh

983
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 3: playoff team in there. Now, I think last year, if

984
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 3: I remember right, I think the seventh playoff trying to

985
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 3: remember who the seven playoff team was last year, but

986
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 3: I want to say the seventh playoff team is actually one.

987
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Charger speaking of Dallas.

988
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 3: Dallas was this I'm sorry, Dallas is the two seed

989
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 3: in twenty three and the Packers were the seventh seed.

990
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 3: Packers went down there and beat them up. Yeah, and

991
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 3: it's it's the game that is featured in the America's

992
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 3: Team documentary on Netflix. That's that's the game, and it's

993
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 3: the one that Jerry was just I mean, he was

994
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 3: distraught about and should have been. But the Packers went

995
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 3: down there and beat them up, Packers in them losing

996
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 3: next week. But still the Cowboys are number two seats

997
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 3: in the old system. They would have gotten not had

998
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 3: to play that game.

999
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 2: Right and I don't think they would have played the Packers.

1000
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 2: But the Packers what.

1001
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 3: Even made playoffs because they were the seventh team. It's

1002
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 3: nice to get seven in. It is nice to get

1003
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 3: seven in.

1004
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 4: I like that.

1005
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 2: I think that's the that's the limit. Though. You cannot

1006
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 2: let eight per conference in. That's half the league. Can't

1007
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 2: do it.

1008
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: That cheapens it. Don't let half the league into the playoffs.

1009
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: You know they've talked about this. This is discussed behind

1010
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: closed doors. They never talk about the fact that they

1011
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: discussed it, but you have to feel like they've discussed it.

1012
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 2: Half the team shouldn't make it in.

1013
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, that's going to do it for the

1014
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: show tonight. Have a great Thanksgiving. We'll be back on

1015
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 1: the year tomorrow. We've got Texans matchup coming up next,

1016
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: followed by Area forty five.

1017
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 2: Happy Thanksgiving, Go Texans.
