The General 18 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: from the Houston Chronic called John McClain. Okay, John, So uh, 19 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: Slow newsweek, right, Slow Newsweek. Astro's winning eleven to four 20 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: about to close out to age, just pounding those crab babies. Yeah, 21 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's funny because like, wow, I feel nah, 22 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: not really, I've been watching I've been watching Astros. I 23 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: am paid attention to the Texans. Yeah, I didn't think so. Well, 24 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: let's you know good and by the way, congratulations Astros. 25 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: How many years is this in the ALCS? Four four consecutive? 26 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's amazing. I mean it's amazing because 27 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: you think about, you know, growing up and whatever team 28 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: you you watched, and most of our listeners of course 29 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: watched the Astros. But to be in the in the 30 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: days of the NLCS, to be in the NLCS was 31 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: unbelievable every time it occurred, right, and then you know, 32 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: just to find yourself in the ALCS, ALCS four consecutive 33 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: years and considering everything they went through in the early 34 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: part of the last offseason and of course COVID and 35 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 1: everything like this, but great accomplishment just to reach that. 36 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: And let's hope they do a whole lot more. Okay, general, 37 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: let's get into this here. As Romeo Credell is the 38 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: interim head coach. It still blows my mind. I mean, 39 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: it's a few days later, no Bill O'Brien in the building. 40 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: Romeo Crenell takes over cal mcnairon with us last night 41 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: saying that he's gonna hire a GM and a coach. 42 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: And here we go Jacksonville in on Sunday. And this 43 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: is no layup game, by the way, this is a 44 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 1: big game for this team. And you know the Jags 45 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: are fired up board prepping for them. They can move 46 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: the ball well, they get a lot of weapons. But John, 47 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: let's rewind a little bit here, your feelings, your thoughts 48 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: on what has been happening the last few days and 49 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: where it's going immediate future, and maybe a little bit 50 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: of a long term future projection by you, sir well 51 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: and every in just about every instance, changing coaches during 52 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: the season doesn't mean squat Now. I was not covering 53 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: the team with others in nineteen sixty one when they 54 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: made a change after they started off. I think one 55 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: OHO and three won the rest of their games in 56 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: a championship. So obviously that'd be what the Texans need 57 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: to do. But it's like all of them say they 58 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: need to win one game, they need to be one 59 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: and oh Anthony Weaver emphasized today you know, usually these 60 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: things happened late in the season, when you're out of it. 61 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: This one's happened with twelve games left, a chance to 62 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: a chance to bounce back on both sides of the ball. 63 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: They're fortunate to pay the Jaguars. They have a three 64 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: game losing streak, giving up thirty two points a game 65 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: during that losing streak, and then they play at Tennessee, 66 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: assuming the Titans are able to play another game this season, 67 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: and then they host the Packers before the bye week. 68 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: So if indeed they say all the right things, now 69 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: go out and do them. Do like the Astros are 70 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: doing something that people don't expect you to do. If 71 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: they go up Tennessee, where they won last year, should 72 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: have won two years ago, step that fake Duns down. 73 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: They can win in Nashville and then come back home 74 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: to play the Packers, who were better than we all 75 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: thought they would. But boy, you know, if they were 76 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: to beat them going into the into the bye week, 77 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying they will, but that would blow 78 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: people away locally and nationally. I think cal McNair is 79 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: doing the right thing. I've talked to him two or 80 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: three times about this and hiring a GM first and 81 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: then hiring a coach. It gives them a lot of 82 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: time to put together their list. They're going to hire 83 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: a search firm. Jackie Easterby is going to be interim 84 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,799 Speaker 1: general manager. He'll be on the search committee. And there's 85 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: going to be a lot of people want to come here. 86 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: And the reason is you have ownership that is stable 87 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: and patient. You know, Dom was lasted five years counting 88 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: the first year he was hired in which they didn't play. 89 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: Gary almost made it through eight years. Bill went four 90 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: years into the seventh. And then there's Cleveland. It's hired 91 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: a new coach for the last four years, so there's stability. 92 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 1: They pay a lot of money. Thank how much money 93 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: the mcnairs have paid Rick Smith, Brian Gaine, Bill O'Brien. 94 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: Their payroll that they're spending on players this year is 95 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: the highest in the league. They will pay money, and 96 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: Cal's management style. You pay a lot of money for 97 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: people you think are good at their job, and you 98 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: let them do their job, and if they don't do 99 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: it like you want it, you pull the plug. So 100 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: I think they got the right idea about the way 101 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: they're going to go about it. After the season The 102 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,799 Speaker 1: key is what are they going to do the rest 103 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: of the season. John, we had a lot of time 104 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: to talk about next year and the future, etc. But 105 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: Jags are coming in on Sunday. I'm giving you one, 106 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: Romeo Crenell, Genie wish, one thing that can happen on Sunday. 107 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: One thing that hasn't been happening that you want to 108 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: see happen on Sunday. What is that, Genie? What do 109 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: you wish to see? My Genie wish would be for 110 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: John McClain to become a multi multi millionaire. Okay, And 111 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: if I couldn't get that one, it would stop the run. Okay, 112 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: stop the run? Now, if you gave me one on 113 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, other and scoring, of course, 114 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: it'd be to run the ball better and to stop 115 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: the run. I don't know what Romeo and Weaver can 116 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: do about the run defense. Thirteen games, they've given up 117 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy yards a game going back to 118 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: last season. But if they show can get the guys 119 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: to be more disciplined and smarter not miss so many tackles, 120 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: they could do it. They're going up against an undrafted 121 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: rookie running back in James Robinson. He's done very well 122 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: as a runner and receiver for the Jaguars, and you've 123 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: watched him, you understand why they cut Luis Leonard Fournett, 124 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: not just because of all these issues, but Robinson's done 125 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: a really good job. They had high hopes after those 126 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: first two games. They beat the Calts, they took the 127 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: Titans down to the wire and lost by three, and 128 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: then it's kind of come apart for him. But they're 129 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: very capable. Texans did a great job against Minshew last 130 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: year both games, blew them out that second game in London, 131 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: so I expect they'll play well against him. And you 132 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: know other thing you'd like to say, the offense put 133 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: together a game for both halves, not just one half, 134 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: which has been the case the last two games. Yeah, 135 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what they can do about the run defense, 136 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: run offense. How about the offense filling up their side 137 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: of the ledger, which is going to help balance things 138 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: out a little bit. Because they've had trouble hanging out 139 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: of the ball for extended drives. They've moved the ball 140 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: in the hurry up situations and John, I'm curious to 141 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: see what differences there are with Tim Kelly and Deshaun 142 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: Watson putting their heads together. Bill O'Brien's not around, So 143 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: you know, you cannot reinvent the offense, but you can 144 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: change a few things up. What are you anticipating when 145 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: we see this on Sunday, Well, it's it's going to 146 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: be easier for the offense. They got more talent, more 147 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: as expected to the offense. They flashed the last two weeks, 148 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: first half against Pittsburgh, second half against Minnesota. In those 149 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: two halves, Watson four touchdown passes, and I don't think 150 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're going to be doing double 151 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: reverse passes and a lot of them, a lot more options, 152 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: and I don't think we'll see them going to the 153 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: Wildcat doing a lot radical It's like Anthony Weavers said today, 154 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: we're not trying to reinvent the wheel over here. We're 155 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: just trying to do what we do and do it 156 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: better and more consistently. Of all the stats that I've seen, 157 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: and I gotta admit, Mark, this was one I thought 158 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: was very interesting. Seven games in a row they've been 159 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: behind by double digits and they're one in six, were 160 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: the only win being against Buffalo. But the offense, as 161 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: you mentioned, has got to put together some first downs 162 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: and some drives convert on third down. This is an 163 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: amazing stat because the defense has given up some many yards. 164 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: The offense has not had the ball more than twenty 165 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: five minutes thirty one seconds in any game, and that 166 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: was Kansas City. If you don't have the ball more 167 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: than that, you'd be ought to be scoring a lot 168 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: of long touchdowns or are you just not getting as 169 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: many opportunities. It's gross to think about some of the 170 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: numbers you've brought up, John, I mean, it's just it's 171 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: absolutely it's no. I mean you have to. I mean 172 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: you have to. You have to rip the band aid 173 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: right off because it's just not been a great look 174 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: the first four games. M John. We've we've heard a 175 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: lot of stuff coming out from various sources, etc. Somebow 176 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: to do JJ Anthony at practice, etc. Was that anything 177 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: that you had heard or you knew was going on 178 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: over the last few weeks? Was that Was that something 179 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: that you were aware of or is that sort of 180 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: news to you as it was to everybody else. Well, 181 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: if I'd known about it, I would have written it. 182 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: And the fact is, we don't get to watch practice anymore. 183 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: But this is something that blew me away. People are 184 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: acting like what got O'Brien fired because they yelled at 185 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: each other in practice, And I'm thinking we all know 186 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: Bill's temper. Bill was an emotional, explosive guy. I tweeted, 187 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: if you're on the personnel side of the operation and 188 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: you have not been screamed at by Bill O'Brien, hold 189 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: your hand up, hold your hand up, hold your hand up. 190 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: No hands. And so this is the fact that it was. 191 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: JJ got everybody around the country. I've done so many 192 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: talk shows last two days. Well, tell me about how 193 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: what got him fired? I said, blowing up like that 194 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: was no big deal. More telling with the quotes after 195 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: the game that Wade had and the tweet that he 196 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: put that I asked him about yesterday about showing NRG 197 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: Stadium with a roof open and sunshining on it, and 198 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: those were more telling. And then JJ talking about a 199 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: disconnect with their fans and when they could everybody, they 200 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: could touch base with a fan base again, and and 201 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: happy days to be here again, and and but now 202 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: they got to go out and do it. But anytime 203 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: I hear stories about Field yelling at people, I'm like, geez, 204 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: give me a break. Yeah, John, it's a great point. 205 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I think all football culture really is not 206 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: exactly a textbook human resources management employee video waiting to happen, 207 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: all right. It ain't a library, man, it ain't a library. 208 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: It's not I mean, it's football, and this is the 209 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: way these guys are. And I think that obviously, uh, 210 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: you know, just based on what people are reading and 211 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: hearing that, you know, it was probably pretty tough. And 212 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: nobody's happy about OWEN four. And clearly some of the 213 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: numbers we just brought up, like dead last against the 214 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: run and dead last running the football are not going 215 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: to help the head coaches cause, particularly after an aggressive 216 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: offseason of moves, OWEN four is unacceptable, especially the way 217 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: they are owed four right now. So we move on, Mark, 218 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: excuse me. In twenty fifteen, I was with Bob McNair. 219 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: He's chuckling, And that was when Bill and Rick Smith 220 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: were starting to go sideways. And he chuckled when he said, ay, 221 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: we got to do something about coach's temper and and 222 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: of course they never did. And but that's just the 223 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: way Bill was, and he didn't. I don't think he 224 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: held it against people. I never held it against him. 225 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: I liked dealing with O'Brien. You know, he never said 226 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: next question. He never said I'm not going to answer that. 227 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: He might say, uh, I'd rather not comment. In other words, 228 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: he didn't want to comment, and that's fine with me. 229 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: And I never had a problem when he would get 230 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: short tempered in a news conference. People that would listen 231 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: on your website and on six ten would tell me, gosh, 232 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: how can you stand when you got to deal with O'Brien. 233 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: I said, I liked the with Bill. I got no 234 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: problem with that. Bill is my twelfth head coach here. 235 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 1: Now I'll have thirteen, and they've all had different kind 236 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: of personalities, and O'Brien did a lot for this team 237 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: the city. Bill is a great family man. You know, 238 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: he's got a really difficult situation at home because of 239 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: his son Jack. He's a great father to his kids, 240 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 1: great husband to Kylleen. People I know that went to 241 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: Little League games where Michael was playing, they all love Bill, 242 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: but they didn't get to know it. You know, his 243 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: New England since the humor, you know, it was lost 244 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: on a lot of people here. But the bottom line 245 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: is as he said, you gotta win, and they couldn't 246 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: get beyond the second round of the playoffs. And while 247 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: the team they beat the lock caard round is four 248 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: and oh they're owing four and heading the wrong direction. 249 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: So cal McNair made this decision. It makes sense. Well, John, 250 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: I was on an out of town radio show in 251 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: the off season and they were asking me about the 252 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: fan base is impression and feeling about Bill O'Brien, and 253 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: I said, you know, a coach going into a seventh year, 254 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: that's a long time to coach anywhere, and he's won, 255 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: he's definitely won. But if you're in the seven eight 256 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: year territory and you haven't won a championship, they get 257 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: really restless. It's it's almost because you can't survive that long. 258 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: Usually they don't survive that long because they've lost and 259 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: they get fired. If they've won a championship, they can 260 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: get ten years out of that if they're still winning enough, right, 261 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's that kind of thing. But if you 262 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: haven't won the title and you're going into year seven, 263 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: year eight, year nine, Kubiak, like you said, year eight, 264 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: everybody gets very yancy and you better win a championship soon. Absolutely, 265 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: I remember people, fans, media wanted Kubiak to be fired 266 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: after the OH ten season. He's had long enough to 267 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Don't care if he had to rebuild 268 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: a team. And ask Bob about it, and he said, oh, 269 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, I really like Gary. We got a lot 270 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: of positive things. I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with him 271 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: one more year and sees what happened Kubiak and hired 272 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: way Phillips to come in as his coordinator. Of course, 273 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: then they won back to back division titles and playoff games. 274 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: And but fans and I understand it. Once you start 275 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: making the playoffs, it's not enough. You gotta go farther. 276 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: You know, Houston hadn't had a team ANFC championship game 277 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: since seventy nine. We haven't hosted a championship game here 278 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: since sixty one, and so last year didn't blow that 279 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: twenty four oh lead what I was to DFC championship game. 280 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: But and that's something else I think infuriated the fan base. 281 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: But there's no doubt in my mind Bill is going 282 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: to get another job. I think it'll be next season 283 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: because when he sits down with an owner, he's gonna say, look, 284 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: I won four division titles my last five years. I 285 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: coached DeShawn Watson, and Deshaun Watson's played great, and that's 286 00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: that's a pretty good resume. When because the teams say 287 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: the Jets, you know now say the Jets think how 288 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: long the Jets have been bad? Do you think Bill 289 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: would look good to the Jets in Atlanta? Atlanta, but 290 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: we all figured they're gone Detroit, Matt Patricia, I think 291 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: they wouldn't like to have Bill up there with his 292 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: division titles and Shaan Watson's record. I think Bill O'Brien 293 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: will be a head coach next season. It'd be interesting. 294 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: I mean, the Lions would be interesting if they go 295 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: from Patricia O'Brien too. Patriots guys, I say in air quotes, John, 296 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: you brought up a good point about when you have success, 297 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: the fans obviously want that to continue. I was thinking 298 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: about Doug Peterson heading into last week, and I thought, man, 299 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: they're going out to San Francisco. They really have not 300 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: looked good. Carson Wentz his play has dipped and dipped significantly. Man, 301 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: they go out to San Francisco on Monday, I think 302 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: with Monday night or Sunday night, came, but they're playing 303 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: tonight game out there. Man, if they lose that game, 304 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: oh it gonna be trouble and river City for Doug Peterson. 305 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: And then they turned around and they ended up getting 306 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: a win. And it made me think how much is 307 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl win worth to a particular head coach? 308 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: As in, how many years does that buy you if 309 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: you don't get back to the Super Bowl the next 310 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: how many every years? How much do you think a 311 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: Super Bowl win is worth in particular for a guy 312 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: like Doug Peterson. You neglect to dimension John that when 313 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: the Eagles won that game, they're in first place by 314 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:38,719 Speaker 1: themselves any tough, challenging, difficult NFC East, which is right now, 315 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: is as bad as any division I have ever seen 316 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: in my forty four years have covered in the NFL. 317 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: That division is pathetic, and the Eagles are in first place. 318 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: And and then of course who would have thought the 319 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: AFC North would be the toughest division because the Browns 320 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: have won three in a row. Sean Payton won a 321 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: Super Bowl at three losing records in a row. Fans 322 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,479 Speaker 1: wanted him fired, they stuck with him. Now they're an 323 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: elite team every year, So Doug Peterson, he'd be a 324 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: whole lot better off winning a Super Bowl in another city, 325 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 1: because in Philadelphia it's the next season. I covered the 326 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: first game at Lincoln Financial Field. I believe the Eagles 327 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: lost to the Bucks, a team they'd played the year 328 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: before in the playoffs. And the next day, after the 329 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: opening loss, one of the most prominent columnists in town said, 330 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: Andy Reid has got to go with another one record. Wow, 331 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 1: oh and one. Yeah, that's an onslaught of losses. General, 332 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: we've all heard about Aripi enemy. Who are some of 333 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: the other candidates out there? And again, it's just us talking. 334 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: We're just having a conversation. This is no tampering. Yeah, 335 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: nobody's listening. It's just I'm talking. Greg Roman, I know, 336 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: is always a candidate somewhere. I'm a little surprised Roman 337 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: hasn't gotten a job by now, and I'm wondering why 338 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 1: in European you know, I know he's with the Texan 339 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: a long time ago when the Texans started out. But 340 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: let me throw another name out at you and see 341 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: what you think of this and lump it into your answer. 342 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,719 Speaker 1: But Mike Lafleur, the brother of the Green Bay Packers 343 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: heady passing game coordinator for the forty nine ers. Come on, look, 344 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: I'm just so excited. General O Mount Pleasant, Michigan. Okay, 345 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: and you know with Matt his little brother, Look he 346 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: wants blood. Let me tell you something. He's been an 347 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in college. Then he's been in the league, 348 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: and you know he's split. He's split ways with his brother. 349 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: He went with Kyle Shanahan. His brother went with McVeigh 350 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: and then the Titans, and now he's doing a really 351 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: good job at the Packers. Next she'll recommend Mike McDaniel 352 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: because he's been with shanty Ane so long. Another one 353 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: to keep a close eyte. Here's what I believe, and 354 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna be right. It's gonna be an 355 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: offensive coach who has a background coach and a quarterback 356 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: with the skill set of Watson. Eric b Enemy's going 357 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: to be at the top of everybody's list. Okay, seasons over. 358 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: Team already has a general manager. While the Texans an 359 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: interview in general managers calls Eric the enemy's agents is Okay, 360 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: here's ten million a year or whatever. Well, he can't 361 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: wait around. So the Texans need for the Chiefs to 362 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: go the Super Bowl again. Keep Eric the enemy tied 363 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: up as long as they can so the Texans can 364 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: get the general manager in place, and they'll have so 365 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: much time to look at general managers can interview them 366 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: unless the team gives them permission to interview, and make 367 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: sure that they least interview those top candidates. Greg Romans 368 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: coach Lamar Jackson. It's the third year. Another guy to 369 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: keep an eye on. Brian day Ball at Buffalo. Josh 370 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 1: Allen is the most improved player in the NFL. He 371 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: has been fantastic. He bounced back from that wildcard loss 372 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: in which we saw him be very inconsistent to be 373 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: one of the top three quarterbacks in the NFL based 374 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: on the he's played this season. And the Bills are unbeaten, 375 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: and so there'll be others. There might be head coaches. 376 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: People say, Dabbo Sweeney, well, he because he loves Watson. 377 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: And I said, well, if he wants to coach one 378 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: of his former quarterbacks in the end NFL, who's to 379 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: say he won't go with Trevor Lawrence. And somebody said, well, 380 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: he'd be going to the Jets and he's not stupid. 381 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: And another one, you know, they said Lincoln Riley because 382 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: he's great with quarterbacks. He turned down Jerry Jones, but 383 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: he hadn't lost two games in a row for the 384 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: first time and since the eighteen hundred. So there's a 385 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: lot of people. Agents will be calling Jackie us to 386 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: be the interim general manager. They'll get a search firm, 387 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: they'll have their committee, and I wish they would put 388 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: a guy in there, like, wait, Phillips, Wade's here. If 389 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: you want an offensive coach, you want to know about 390 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: Lafleur's brother, you talked to Waite because Wade's gone against 391 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: all of them, He's seen all the quarterbacks. I think 392 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: would be a great guy too. If you're not going 393 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: to be on the search committee, at least have him 394 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: as a consultant because he's here, he wants to work, well, 395 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 1: put him to work. Interesting. Interesting, John. We can't let 396 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: you go without talking about the Titans situation and COVID. 397 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: Now there's a report that they're going to play the 398 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: Bills Titans on Tuesday, and obviously this affects the Texans 399 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: because the Titans are coming off a weird short week 400 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: and look, it's a very tough preparation week. Anyway, to 401 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: play on Tuesday for them. But it's a bizarre situation 402 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: with these reports about workouts with players that are unsanctioned, 403 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: if you will, and more positive tests. Your thoughts on 404 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: their situation. First of all, COVID nineteen's not fair. Everybody 405 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: knew coming in there was a chance there was going 406 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: to be a lot of unfair situations and it happened 407 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: to you too bad. They're not going to all of 408 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: a sudden try to even it out. The Titans are 409 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: gonna get heavy, heavy penalties because they had players working 410 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: out at two different spots against the NFL rules, against 411 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: the protocols. Now they're investigating to see if a coach 412 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: was involved. That'll be even worse. You're not going to 413 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,239 Speaker 1: hurt them with fines, you know, You're just not. If 414 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: they're going to hurt them, it would have to be 415 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: a draft choices that would hurt them, not this season, 416 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: but it would hurt them in the future. But everybody 417 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: is expecting them to get the most severe sanctions that 418 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: have ever come down because what's happening there's putting people 419 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: at risk, and the league in NFLPA have investigated because 420 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: if you have to cancel games, players don't get paid. 421 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: That's one seventeenth paycheck this year. You don't get it. 422 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: And if you don't get it, think about how much 423 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: guys make. It doesn't matter if you're jj Water, you're 424 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: a guy making a minimum wage. That is a big 425 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: chunk of Chaine. So if one team has defied the 426 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 1: league and violated the protocols, and I'm not saying that's 427 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: what they've done, maybe they're just done lucky, but they're 428 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: in double figures now. Now they can bounce back. The 429 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: Marlins made the playoffs, made the second round of the playoffs, 430 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: and they played I think seven consecutive doubleheaders. But it's 431 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: gonna get uglier, and at some point teams are going 432 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: to have such an outbreak they're gonna be loading up 433 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: with those practice squad players to have to be on 434 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: an active roster just to field the team. No shot 435 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: at the bubble, team by team, bubble, nothing so far, 436 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: putting teams in the hotels and not letting them out. 437 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: To say the NFLPA doesn't want that, but the union knows. 438 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: You look at the Titans, you can't trust players. They're 439 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: showing other leagues. They Cleveland Indians showed it. The Los 440 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: Angeles Clippers showed it. No matter how much you tell them, 441 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: players are going to be players. They're going to violate 442 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: the rules.

As 585 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: I just it's amazing to me what's going on this season. 586 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: You know, you're owing four, you got the pandemic, Brian's gone, 587 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,239 Speaker 1: and here we are Romeo Corne And I love that 588 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: Romeo is here to be the interim because he's got 589 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: a ton of experience. The guy knows how to win games. 590 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: He's not new to this. And I feel like this, 591 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: and now correct me if I'm wrong, I'm getting and 592 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: it's this is not nothing against coach O'Brien, but if 593 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: I had to think of a movie comparison, and I'm 594 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: sure somebody must have brought this up, but I haven't 595 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: listened to everything, but I'm getting a little Bud Kilmer 596 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: removed at halftime vibe from all this. The sean is 597 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: Jonathan Moxon from from Varsity Blues. Yes, like, well, I 598 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 1: just feel like the guys are like, all right, let's 599 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 1: just piece this together now, you know, Tim Kelly, it's 600 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: like you call the plays, Uh, let's just go, you know, 601 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: run that stuff. Well, they completely change the offense at 602 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: the half, which was pretty impressive actually, but it was Hollywood, 603 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: so they could do whatever they wanted. H this you 604 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: can't change the offense. But it's gonna be interesting to 605 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: see how the guys are on the field, what the 606 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 1: vibe is. I mean, it's still the Texans. It's these players. 607 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: I mean they it's not like they're gonna change out 608 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of stuff, but the way they play, 609 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: the intensity level, things that have been missing. It's gonna 610 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: be interesting to see if they are there on Sunday. 611 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question, and I think I 612 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: think a few things. I think if you talk to 613 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: anybody throughout the city and That's why I asked the 614 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: question of you know, what would be your one one 615 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 1: wish kind of an answllary question, that is, what do 616 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: you expect to see? Like what's the first thing that 617 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: will tell you, oh, okay, things are different new sheriff 618 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: in town, so to speak. And I've thought about that question, 619 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: like what what will I need to see to think 620 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: it's different or that it's different now and it's going 621 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: to continue to be different over these next twelve games 622 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,919 Speaker 1: or next to eleven games after this, And I think 623 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,760 Speaker 1: the biggest thing to me is just offensively to see 624 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,280 Speaker 1: a little bit more a little bit more pace and 625 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: maybe you know, a little bit more up tempo pace, 626 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: and then I think that's probably the biggest thing to 627 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,280 Speaker 1: see that, and then to see how the defense responds, 628 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 1: especially on third down. Can they get off the field 629 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: because they've gotten the Steelers, they got the Ravens to 630 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: third and fourth downs, they got the who do we 631 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: play last week? Good creef. I might drawn a blank Minnesota, Minnesota. 632 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: We got Minnesota the third downs at times, the third 633 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: down defense has got to be better. They've got to 634 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 1: get off the yield, you know, hopefully they can get 635 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: the third, eight and third nine, not third and one 636 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: or fourth and one is you know, the Ravens dealers 637 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: got to But I just the other thing that I 638 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 1: know that I because I'm standing behind them on the moat. 639 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: The other thing that I know that I can have 640 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: a pretty good fuel for is just the juice on 641 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: the sidelines and just the energy level. And I know 642 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: I've said that during the game a couple of times 643 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 1: over the last few weeks, like, Okay, this is the 644 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 1: first time I've seen this kind of energy. This is 645 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,919 Speaker 1: a sound that I mean, they look like they're having fun. 646 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 1: I could tell you Mark the last three weeks. It 647 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 1: did not look like four weeks. It did not look 648 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: They looked like they wanted to be anywhere but on 649 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: a field, and the defense would come off the field 650 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 1: and send them the sidelines and that was that, and 651 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 1: not that you got to come over there and high 652 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,399 Speaker 1: five everybody. And look, I understand it's COVID and all 653 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and so they're probably some players going, 654 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: can I can I have five this guy? Can I 655 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: high five him? No? Can I hug him? Can I owe? 656 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: But what? Well, so I know there's some of that 657 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 1: that's involved. Yeah, but Mark. When the Steelers scored the 658 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,879 Speaker 1: touchdown to take the lead the other day, I looked over, 659 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,720 Speaker 1: I looked over at the other sideline, and the entire 660 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 1: sideline erupted. It erupted, and you just saw that the 661 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: Steelers were playing with just that much more energy, that 662 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 1: much more juice that day. And I don't know, that's 663 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 1: something I think. Maybe I don't know, maybe I read 664 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: too much into that, but I just feel like with 665 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 1: this team, with these players that and I go back 666 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 1: to last year when we went to Green Bay. We 667 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: went to Green Bay for practice and I'll never forget this. 668 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,800 Speaker 1: They went to a I don't know if it was 669 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 1: a two minute drill. I think it was a two 670 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,399 Speaker 1: minute drill, and the Packers Matt Laflour, cranked the music 671 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,359 Speaker 1: and I watched our offense go up and on the 672 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,919 Speaker 1: field like it was a hot knife through butter. I mean, 673 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: it was fun. And their dance on the sidelines, it's 674 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,240 Speaker 1: like they've got a rhythm going and they just bang, 675 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: bang bang, and I'm like, I'm writing in my notebook 676 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,439 Speaker 1: as I can, I'm like, this is awesome. This is great, man, 677 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: Holy smokes, and it's like they it's almost as if 678 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 1: they've got to play with that music in their head 679 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: and and keep that rhythm, yeah, and play that way. 680 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 1: And so maybe it's playing looser, Maybe it's being a 681 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: little bit tighter on the details. Maybe it's a fewer 682 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 1: things on their you know, there's SaraBellum that they're not 683 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: thinking so much, that they're just reacting and playing and 684 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,839 Speaker 1: not being tight. And maybe that's gonna help them on 685 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: Sunday against the Jacks. Jack's not gonna be easy team 686 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,359 Speaker 1: to beat. They could be physical. You gotta block Josh 687 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: Allen and Caleb and Chason. But if you just play, 688 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: if you just enjoy being out there with your teammates 689 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 1: and play and execute, you should win the football game. 690 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: You should win the football game. But you gotta do 691 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: those things. Look, you cannot abandon the run, we all 692 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: know that, right, But you could start throwing deep. I 693 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: believe that's what's missing here. Like, let's let's air it 694 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: out a little bit, you know, let's take some shots. 695 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: I know, easier said than done. Protection issues. Remember against Seattle, 696 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 1: Remember that I'm Chris Farley right now. Remember that time 697 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 1: at Seattle on the opening drive, Yeah, where Watson hit 698 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: Fuller for fifty nine yards for a touchdown. That was awesome. 699 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,240 Speaker 1: But it was awesome. And you know what, I pulled 700 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 1: up that drive, Johnny, because I thought was that the 701 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: first play of the game. It was not. No. I 702 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: mean they were running Lamar Miller. They're just trying to 703 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: pound Lamar Miller a couple of times, and he hit 704 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 1: Ellington for a first down. Pound Lamar Miller again. You 705 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: lose a yard and then all of a sudden, Watson 706 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: goes up top fuller touchdown. Next possession, they go for 707 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: a twenty seven yard pass play. Again. I mean they 708 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: had two pass plays longer than twenty five yards on 709 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: the first two possessions. Look again, easier said than done. 710 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: But you know, no risk it, no biscuit. Look, the 711 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: expectation level has been reduced greatly. That should take some 712 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,399 Speaker 1: pressure off. Not that you don't want to win these games, 713 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: because clearly you do, but I'm saying this will help 714 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: you win. Just go ahead and play playball, b loose. 715 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: Have some fun. Cal McNair last night. I loved what 716 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: he said. I want to have some fun. I want 717 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: to see the rock Boys celebrate. I want to see 718 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,919 Speaker 1: Watson celebrate. He wants to see celebrations because that means 719 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 1: good things are happening. You know what, that's true. You celebrate, 720 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,919 Speaker 1: that means something good just happened. So let's see these 721 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 1: good things happen and see where it takes us. Absolutely, 722 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's the that's the biggest thing. 723 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 1: Is it just hearing the things that we've heard that 724 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,720 Speaker 1: have been out there. It just felt like the players 725 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: felt stifled. They didn't find joy and what they were doing. 726 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: And I think when you look at the teams that 727 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 1: have played well, I mean teams that got to Super 728 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,720 Speaker 1: Bowls last year, the forty nine Ers and the Chiefs. 729 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: I mean, think about the Chiefs. Every time we go 730 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 1: play the Chiefs, Twry Kills doing do dance and the 731 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: end zone, Travis Kelsey's doing his little sprinkle the l thing. 732 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 1: I mean, there's just that that vibe with them. I mean, 733 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: Patrick's running up down the sidelines, you know, doing his thing. 734 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 1: You know, Let's play with that joy, Let's play with 735 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: that excitement and let that rub off on all the 736 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: different units. Let's do for sixty minutes and show, Yeah, 737 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: the team that was constructed could be pretty darn good, 738 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: but they have to play a particular way, and that 739 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,399 Speaker 1: is kind of with their hair on fire having fun. 740 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: I'm totally okay with that. Okay, a few things on 741 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 1: the Titans here not good because the first thing, you know, 742 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 1: when I saw positives this morning, before I heard about 743 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 1: the off campus workouts last week those reports. When I 744 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,319 Speaker 1: just heard positives, I thought, well, whoever's testing positive now 745 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 1: wasn't with anybody because they haven't been in the facility 746 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: for a week and a half. So why can't you 747 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 1: just have all the guys who didn't test positive work 748 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,239 Speaker 1: out as long as they weren't together. But then you 749 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:51,359 Speaker 1: see reports that they were together, they've been working out, 750 00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:56,359 Speaker 1: which is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Look, I 751 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: hope these weren't approved by the coach or whatever. There 752 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,919 Speaker 1: was a rule. I don't know if they've shed any 753 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: more light on these reports that there might have been 754 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: a coach involved in some of these workouts. Johnny, that 755 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: is so stupid. I can't even fathom the stupidity of that, 756 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 1: because you know, if somebody's got it, if it's lingering around, 757 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 1: it's just gonna spread some more. Everybody, separate, go to 758 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 1: your houses, come into test. That's all you're coming in 759 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: for and then make sure it's snuffed out. And they 760 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 1: could have been done with it. They missed a game 761 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: and they figured out a beautiful way to reschedule it, 762 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 1: and they could have been fine for this week. Instead, 763 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: now they're sweating it out. If they have any more 764 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 1: positives tomorrow, it's over. They can't play. They can't even 765 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: play Tuesday. It's just not gonna happen. I was listening 766 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: to John and Landry talking about this and they kept 767 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: bringing up the forfeit word, and I was gonna ask 768 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,400 Speaker 1: John that if we had more time with him, and 769 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:53,720 Speaker 1: I know there's an nfl PA, there's an nfl PA 770 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: aspect to it that I don't think a forfeit can happen. 771 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 1: But mark to your point, with the workouts they had 772 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,960 Speaker 1: got busted, and then if there's a coach there, I 773 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 1: absolutely would forfeit those jokers. I would absolutely do it 774 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: because unacceptable, unacceptable. I mean, think about it from a 775 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,439 Speaker 1: Bill standpoint, The Bills have done everything right thus far. 776 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,320 Speaker 1: They've done everything right. Now they're gonna play a Tuesday 777 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: game and they've only got a couple of a few 778 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 1: days to get to get ready for the Chiefs because 779 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 1: they'll move that other. They were supposed to play the 780 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: Chiefs on Thursday, on Thursday, next Thursday, and so that'll 781 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: get moved to I don't know, Saturday or Sunday. So 782 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,360 Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna play Tuesday. Yep. They're gonna have 783 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,399 Speaker 1: a day maybe two prep, two days prep to get 784 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 1: ready to play them on Saturday or Sunday. Like, why 785 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 1: the Bills have to pay for the Titans mistakes? Right? 786 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 1: They got a long week when they didn't want one, 787 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,239 Speaker 1: and it's just you just don't They still don't know 788 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,320 Speaker 1: if they're gonna play, and then they got a short 789 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 1: week when they really didn't want one, but they were 790 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 1: gonna get a short week anyway. But the Chiefs still 791 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,920 Speaker 1: it's really uneasy. These are creatures of habit, and you're right, 792 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 1: the Bills are suffering for the Titans mistakes. Johnny, thanks 793 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,759 Speaker 1: a lot for being with us tonight.

Concussions still a huge 908 00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,840 Speaker 1: reality in this league, in all sports, really and sometimes 909 00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 1: in life. I got one last year playing basketball pickup basketball. 910 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,239 Speaker 1: Doctor Kenneth padel Is, the guru for Houston method is 911 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,400 Speaker 1: from the Houston Methodist Concussion Center, and I talked to 912 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:48,320 Speaker 1: him about the latest and diagnosing, especially the diagnosis latest 913 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:52,840 Speaker 1: technology and concussions. Diagnosing them and in other ways as well. 914 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,880 Speaker 1: Some new development going on. It's it's actually quite interesting. 915 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,680 Speaker 1: One of the things that they're starting to look at 916 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:05,239 Speaker 1: a little bit more is balanced on the sideline. Things 917 00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,880 Speaker 1: as simple as your phone, which has gyroscopes in it 918 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:13,480 Speaker 1: that can measure your balance. We're using eye measurement technology 919 00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 1: that looks at how the eyes move with lasers and 920 00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,560 Speaker 1: like goggles or things that you can wear and can 921 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:24,160 Speaker 1: measure subtle changes in eye movements that are often effective. 922 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,760 Speaker 1: We're also looking at things like heart rate and variability 923 00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 1: in your heart rate that can be effected by concussions. 924 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,440 Speaker 1: There's a couple of areas where where the technology is 925 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:38,600 Speaker 1: improving and trying to become more sensitive in detecting subtle 926 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:42,479 Speaker 1: signs of concussion. All right, so once diagnosis occurs, once 927 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:46,080 Speaker 1: we know someone has a concussion, how are the treatments 928 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,959 Speaker 1: evolving and developing over the years. What can you share 929 00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 1: with us That's really where concussions have been evolving is 930 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,399 Speaker 1: you know, my mantra is concussions are treatable and there's 931 00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 1: a lot of things that we can do. The old 932 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,399 Speaker 1: wives tale that just rests, put them in a dark room, 933 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,200 Speaker 1: no stimulation. That's what we're finding is actually worse for 934 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:12,760 Speaker 1: recovery from concussions. The most important thing is a detailed 935 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:16,360 Speaker 1: assessment of knowing exactly what's affected. Is it the brain? 936 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 1: Is it autonomic functioning? Is it your neck? Is a 937 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:24,280 Speaker 1: eye movement, your balance? All of these things have specific 938 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 1: techniques for treating. Sometimes dizziness and poor eye control are 939 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,319 Speaker 1: the results of the concussions. And we can now have 940 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 1: therapies where we can get individuals in quicker to start 941 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 1: treating those to help them recover faster. Well, this may 942 00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 1: seem simplistic, but obviously not all concussions are created equal, 943 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 1: and you could have the same amount of impact but 944 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 1: a completely different situation. And is that just because the 945 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,160 Speaker 1: human brain is so complex as opposed to an ACLS 946 00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,319 Speaker 1: A ACL And I know there are varying degrees of that, 947 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,240 Speaker 1: but it's a little bit more straightforward. It would appear 948 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,160 Speaker 1: very true. You know, in our line of business, as 949 00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,359 Speaker 1: we say, if you've seen one concussion, you've seen one concussions. 950 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,960 Speaker 1: They everyone has a different signature or a fingerprint, so 951 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,759 Speaker 1: to speak, to a concussions. And the reason that it's 952 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,360 Speaker 1: it's always different is because there are many different systems 953 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:18,600 Speaker 1: of the body affected by a concussion can be brained, 954 00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,680 Speaker 1: it can be balanced, your vestibular or balanced system. It 955 00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:25,520 Speaker 1: can be your eye movement control. It can be mostly 956 00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:29,560 Speaker 1: a cervical or a neck related issue. Sometimes it's it's 957 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:33,480 Speaker 1: mostly mood or related things. And the other aspect is, 958 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:39,400 Speaker 1: you know some individuals have ADHD, learning disability, depression, anxiety, 959 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,360 Speaker 1: which we know affect the brain and how the brain 960 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:46,560 Speaker 1: will be impacted by concussions. So the whole idea is 961 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,319 Speaker 1: really understand what is wrong with that individual from that 962 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:55,200 Speaker 1: concussion and going forward to treat it to getting better faster. Doctor, 963 00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,040 Speaker 1: thank you so much for your time.
