9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Welcome to a Wednesday edition of Texans All Access from

10
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: the Monday Texans Radio Studio. I am your host, John Harris,

11
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: and so glad to be with you as we embark

12
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: on a trip to Florida, trip to Tampa Floor to

13
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: take on Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday, and looking forward

14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: to making that trip down to the Sunshine States. Are

15
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: only time to four of this year. Usually we get

16
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: one a year, sometimes two, but we at least get

17
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: that Jacksonville trip every year in a division. But this

18
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: year we went to London, so this well, it replaces

19
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: it as our only trip to Florida and we're going

20
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: to the West Coast, not the east coast of Florida,

21
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: so a little different, but they're beaches. I would tell

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: you there's gonna be sun but it looks it looks

23
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be sort of rainy. Seventy five in rainy,

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: not like forty in rainy. So beware if you're going

25
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: to the game and it could rain. And I'm narrowing

26
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: down from me because that's what's all about, right, these

27
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: are the last. I have three stadiums that I have

28
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: not been to. Detroit, Chicago those two and handle that

29
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: next year, and then Tampa. That's it. I've been. I've

30
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: been to a Tampa stadium. I went to the old

31
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: Sombrero way way back, so the nineteen ninety four hall

32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: fable there. But I have not seen a game in

33
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: Raymond James Stadium, and looking forward to doing that on Saturday.

34
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: And that's another reminder. Saturday kickoff is at noon, so

35
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: it's not quite college football kickoff because college football kick

36
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: college football games kickoff at eleven locally, and it'll be

37
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: an hour beyond that, So just twelve o'clock right here

38
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: in Houston. You got Mark Andre and myself on the

39
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: radio call, I think on a TV call it's gonna

40
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: be on NFL network, So I don't know how it's

41
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: gonna work for local channels, but NFL network is where

42
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: that is, which Isisen's gonna have the call. He had

43
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: the call in London against the Jaguars. He will have

44
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: the call on Saturday. It's why it's a really good Saturday.

45
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: You got us in the Bucks, the potential of us

46
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: win the AFC South. Then following that, you got Bill's

47
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: Patriots in Foxborough with everything on the line there for

48
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: those two teams, one game separates some eleven and three,

49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: tenant four, and then after that you got the forty

50
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: nine ers in the Ramps. Yeah, three tremendous games on Saturday.

51
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: On top of that, you've got a full slate of

52
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: Bowl games. You got two Bowl games Friday, and I

53
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: think you got five or six on Saturday. So it

54
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: is a Morgese board of football. But I know you'll

55
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: be locked in at noon for that kickoff between the

56
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: Houston Texans and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now on the

57
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: show tonight, we will have our regulars, Andre Ware, Clint Sterner.

58
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: In this hour. We will also have our guests. We

59
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: will have Casey Phillips who covers the bucks. She covers

60
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: it for the team. She is the Tampa Bay version

61
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: of dpcitu, so she caught up with dpcito to go

62
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: behind enemy sidelines. We'll have that later in the show.

63
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: Drew and I talked about our thoughts on this Buccaneer's trip.

64
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: We went down memory lane back to twenty eleven and

65
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: we talked about some of the keys for this game

66
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay and then this one. I've been waiting

67
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: for this one for a long time because when I

68
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: was living in Florida, two of the three universities in

69
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: Florida we're playing at a pretty high level, the University

70
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: of Miami and Florida State. And the play by play

71
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: voice for University of Miami was Mark Vandemir. The play

72
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: by play voice for the Florida State seminals was Gene Deckeroff,

73
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: and I used to listen to them and Mick Hubert,

74
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: who is the voice of the Gators, and I would

75
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: hear them all the time. Those in the State of Florida.

76
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: Gene Deckeroff and Mark Vandemir together is like taking me

77
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: back because Gene Deckerroff does Florid State games and he

78
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: does all the Buccaneer games. So he does both. It's

79
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: a I don't know how he does it, but he

80
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: pulls it off. And so Gene Deckroff is gonna join

81
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: us and talk about this Buccaneers team, talk about Florida

82
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: State going to a bowl game again and all that

83
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: goes with it. So pretty excited to hear from Gene

84
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: Deckeroff as our men behind the mic series continues Mark

85
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: Vandamir the former voice of the Hurricane teen decker Off

86
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: the voice of the Seminals and the Bucks. They get together,

87
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna be fun. So we got that for you

88
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: later in the show. But let's get it going with

89
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: our hot reads and they have brought to you by

90
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: Geico fifteen minutes. Can say you're fifteen percent or more

91
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: on car insurance. And we will start with the news

92
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: from last night. If you missed it, I don't know

93
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: where you were, but if you missed this news last night,

94
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: the Texans have three Pro Bowlers, all on the offensive side.

95
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins his fourth, Laramie Tutzell his first, and Deshaun

96
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: Watson his second. Now, I don't want to see any

97
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: of them in Orlando that week. I'd like to see

98
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: those guys in Miami the following week, but those three

99
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: have been voted to the game. Four alternates were named

100
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,119
Speaker 1: a little mixed offense, defense and special teams Special teams

101
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: John Weeks long snapper offense, Nick Martin, and then defensively

102
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: DJ Reader and Zach Cuttingham. I will tell you right

103
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: off the bat that I thought DJ. I thought both

104
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: DJ and Zach got robbed. Now I went back and

105
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: I looked. There are only two linebackers in the game.

106
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard was one, and I don't recall who the

107
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: other one was, and trying to think off the top

108
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: of my head, I can't remember who the other one was.

109
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: But they had two linebackers. That was it. Just two.

110
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: So I'm not surprised in some sense that two inside linebackers.

111
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: Not surprised that Zach didn't get that that love because

112
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: last year, when Darius Leonard didn't make it, he made

113
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: first team All Pro. I would not be surprised if

114
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: Zach found a way to get on the All Pro teams.

115
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: He's been phenomenal, and the people that vote on that

116
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: are the writers that watch these teams, and so hopefully

117
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: that happens with DJ. When I looked at the interior guys.

118
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: It really is, they're more pass rush guys. It was

119
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: Chris Jones, Cam Hayward. There's not a guy that does

120
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: it all like DJ on that list. So that's it's

121
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: unfortunate that DJ and Zach didn't get named to it,

122
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: but they got named as alternates, and they're gonna be

123
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: guys that drop out, and hopefully those guys are gonna

124
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: be right in line to take those spots because they've

125
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: had fantastic years. But congratulations to all those guys, to

126
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: Laramie and to Hop and Dashawn for making a game

127
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: and then being named alternates week. See Nick Martin, Zach Cunningham,

128
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: and DJ Reader. Congratulations to all those guys who have

129
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: had really good seasons thus far. All right, let's get

130
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: to our next hot read, and it is a little

131
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: bit of news about a player of the week, Angelo Blackson.

132
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: This is fantastic stuff. Man, I'm I'm really happy for Angelo.

133
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: He was named the AFC DEEF I'm sorry, Special Teams

134
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: Player of the Week. That block fuel goal came at

135
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: a huge time, huge time. He was named the AFC

136
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: Special Teams Player of the Week. Now, this it's such

137
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: a cool honor. We had a chance to see Angelo

138
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier because he recorded with DP in here,

139
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: so he just kind of played it down. It's kind

140
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: of shy and cheapish about it, but man, that's really

141
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: really cool stuff. Here's what makes it even to me

142
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: even neater. This marks Houston's fifth Player of the Week

143
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: award this season, which is the most in a single

144
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: season in franchise history. Angelo blocked that forty five yard

145
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: fuel goal. It was the first block for the Texans

146
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: of a field goal attempt since Jared Crick did it

147
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen. And I racked my brain when I heard.

148
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: I was like, Carolina twenty fifteen, Man, I don't remember that,

149
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: And then I remember it was Jared Crick. Then I remember.

150
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: It took me a little while to come to grips

151
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: on that. But Angela wins his first Player of the

152
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: Week honors. So this year you've had Angelo blacks in

153
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: Week fifteen, you had Deshaun Watson in weeks three, five,

154
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: and thirteen. He is the only player to win it

155
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: the Player of the Week award three times in the

156
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: season for the Texans. And then you had Whitney Merciless

157
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: who won it in Week two after his game against

158
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: at Jacksonville Jaguars. Now, to put in perspective, last year,

159
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: the Texans had three Player of the Week honors. Ironically,

160
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: Kayimi Fairbaron won it for Special Teams in week fifteen

161
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: last year, so got a little bit of symmetry there,

162
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: which is kind of nice. So you had three winners

163
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: in eighteen you had two, and seventeen you had three,

164
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: and sixteen you had three and fifteen JJ accounting for

165
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: two of those in fifteen and hop was the other one.

166
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: You had four and fourteen he had fits he winning

167
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: one in week thirteen. But this year you've had it

168
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: done five times with two weeks left to go. So

169
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: congratulate to Angelo Blackson for being named the AFC Special

170
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: Teams Player of the Week. All right, let's get to

171
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: our next hot read. And of course during the week

172
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: it is the injury report. Now there's some news on

173
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: the buckside and we'll get to that in a second.

174
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: That deals with injuries, and so you won't see it

175
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: on the report. But let's get to this. The Texans,

176
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: similar to yesterday, did not participate Jacob Martin but Ardrick McKinney,

177
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,119
Speaker 1: Jacob dealing with a knee. Bmack dealing with that concussion.

178
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: I don't man, I don't like speculating injuries, but seeing

179
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: them for two days in a row, who worries me

180
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: a little bit about being available for Saturday. But we'll see.

181
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: But added to the DNPS today DeAndre Hopkins deal with illness.

182
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: And I know that's kind of been going around in

183
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: the building. I know it's been going around from my family,

184
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: my daughter at home. I know from Mark you talked

185
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: about his son. So the illness thing kind of going

186
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: around for a lot of people, and like Hops got

187
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: at Carlos also, Carlos Hyde also not participate deal with

188
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: the ankle slash non injury related. Jolillade did not participate yesterday,

189
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: but he did participate in a limited in a limited

190
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: capacity today, So not a ton to get stressed about today.

191
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: I would imagine the status report comes out tomorrow, so

192
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: we'll know more about who's in who's out. And my

193
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: guest initially is that with Jacob and with Bmac, if

194
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: they didn't participate either these two days, we may not

195
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: have a chance to see them on Saturday. But we'll

196
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: see what happens tomorrow. Now on the buccaneer side. The

197
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: news that came out of there is that Mike Evans

198
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl just voted to Pro Bowl last night. In fact,

199
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: the Bucks got two wide receivers and we were all

200
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: They were all NFC South receivers. It was Julio Jones

201
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: and Michael Thomas, along with the two receivers from the Bucks,

202
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. Now Mike Evans placed on

203
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: IR today, so his season over. You had Scotty Miller

204
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: who had a touchdown I think it was the first

205
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: touchdown of the game on a deep over route. He

206
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: is also put on IR. He was put on R yesterday.

207
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: So Scottie Miller wide receiver yesterday, hamstring today Mike Evans

208
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: put on IR hamstring, So they're out done. You also

209
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: had Jordan Whitehead safety, starting safety, second year starting safety.

210
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: He went on IR. So what does that leave and

211
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: where does that leave the Bucks? Well on the DNP side,

212
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: and now I'm gonna get to the Goodwin part of this.

213
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: Bo Allen nose tackle Tanner Hudson. They missed with an

214
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: ankle and concussion respectively. Also a DNP was Chris Godwin.

215
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: Now the thought all along of every thing that I've

216
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: read coming out of that game last week against Detroit

217
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: where Godwin needed kind of some help to get off

218
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: the field and they took him off on a cart

219
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: with a hamstring, is that there's no way that he

220
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: would be ready to go. I thought that with Mike Evans,

221
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: and then when they didn't put him on IR right away,

222
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: I thought, well, maybe, Well then they put him on

223
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: IR today. They put Scotty Miller on yesterday. I don't

224
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: know if that means that they'll hold out hope that

225
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: maybe Godwin could play Saturday. All everything that I've read

226
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: said they do not think that Godwin will be ready

227
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: to go for Saturday, or for the rest of the

228
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: year at that matter. So why wouldn't you put him

229
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: on IR. I don't know. Maybe you're trying to hold

230
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: out hope. Maybe there is some hope that he could

231
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: play in week seventeen. I don't know, but Chris Godwin

232
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: and Mike Evans may not play in this game. So

233
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: we'll find out more tomorrow the status report. But that's

234
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: the that's two. That's fifty percent of the NFC Pro

235
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: Bowl receivers that potentially could be out of this one.

236
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: And also they're good slot receiver Scottie Miller who can fly,

237
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: so they could be without those three guys and a

238
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: starting safety in Jordan Whitehead. What that does mean for

239
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: the secondary is that you may have three rookie starting

240
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: in the secondary against the Shawn Watson and company. Now

241
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: Hop's been sick and hopefully he's able to get back,

242
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: but it could be a tough day for that secondary

243
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: of the Bucks having to face DeAndre Hopkins, Kenny Stills,

244
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: and Will Fuller potentially, so they're gonna have their handsful.

245
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: Brashad Perriman was fantastic last week for the Tampa Bay Bucks.

246
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: But he goes from being the number three even number

247
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: four option to being the option in the wide receiver corps.

248
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: Justin Watson from out a Penn and Ivy leaguer, He's

249
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: gonna see sometime he's a bigger wide receiver. And then

250
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: you got a couple of guys that I mean. They

251
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: just added Sarell Grayson from a practice squad. Now he

252
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: can fly, he's a hurdler, he's a track guy, but

253
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: he's not the receiver that Chris godd and Mike Evans are,

254
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: and he's not big and physical like those guys. They

255
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: still have Jameis Winston, but he's been dealing with a

256
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: right thumb and a nie, so he was limited today.

257
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: Also limited today was left tackle Donovan Smith. He missed

258
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday against Detroit Lyons, so he went

259
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: from a DNP on Tuesday too limited on Wednesday. We'll

260
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: see if he's gonna be ready to go, so Mike

261
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: Evans goes to ir Chris Godwin a DNP. So the

262
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: receiver corps banged up in a big way in Tampa Bay.

263
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: And then left tackle Donovan Smith, who missed the game,

264
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: did come back in a limited capacity today. But Jameis

265
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: Winston is also dealing with that right thumb and knee,

266
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: so he it was limited today at practice as well.

267
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: So Buccaneers banged up. The Texans not as banged up,

268
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: but it's key guys that they're dealing with. Now. I'm

269
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: with injury. There have been a couple of times this

270
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: year where I feel like, Okay, they're not gonna have

271
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy, and then

272
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden that opposing team plays extremely well.

273
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: So you gotta show up and play with whatever's there.

274
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: But the Buccaneers. Without Mike Evans and potentially without Chris Godwin,

275
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: that passing game is going to turn into the Cam

276
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: Brake Slash O J. Howard Show, and you just have

277
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: to be able to adjust and take away those guys

278
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: the way you took away Julian Edelman and put the

279
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: focus on other guys trying to get up to speed

280
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: with Jameis Winston, which they've been trying to do. But

281
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: that's a little tougher said than done. So there you go.

282
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: There is your injury report and those you're hot and

283
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: reach about to you by Geico fifteen minutes to say

284
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: you're fifteen percent or more on car in shirts. Coming up,

285
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: it's our good friend Andre Ware to talk about everything

286
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: about this Texans team and this trip Tampa this weekend.

287
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,760

304
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,280

Speaker 1: relate to a percentage? To us? They'll they'll dive into

308
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. I'm telling you they will. I

309
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: did it with nine, eleven and twelfth graders. They loved it,

310
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: and I would bring sports into the conversation and actually

311
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: would help them learn. So you stary teachers, Toros Matros

312
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: has got you covered all right. Time to hear from

313
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: our good friend Andre where he last week spent some

314
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: time up to Heisman Trophy ceremony that he came to

315
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: Nashville to see the Texans win, looking forward to getting

316
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: too Tampa Bay to see the Buccaneers and fellow Heisman

317
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: winner Jamis Winston. Here's Drey with Mark Drey. Short week.

318
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: It's not like a Thursday night week, but it's still

319
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: kind of a short week, which I think has to

320
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: be somewhat of a challenge this time of year for

321
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: these guys, both teams really because of the wear and

322
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: tear of the bodies. Your thoughts on that. Yeah, when

323
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: you play a Sunday Thursday turnaround, and that's tough in

324
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: itself at the time of year in which most teams

325
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: are doing it. But to get to a Sunday Saturday,

326
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, there's everyone they'll say, well, there's two extra days,

327
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: but at this point in the year, nobody's one hundred

328
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: percent and you need every single day of rest that

329
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: you can get, which is a surprise to me that

330
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: that games are actually played this late in the season

331
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: on a Saturday. It's it's just a tough thing from

332
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: a players standpoint to get your body turned around and

333
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: ready to play. Well. We went from the Patriots game

334
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: to what happened against Denver and then a bounce back

335
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: to what happened against the Titans. And I can't think

336
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: that they would have some sort of a letdown performance,

337
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: if you will, on Saturday, because of what just happened

338
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: with Denver and because they know that a division title

339
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: is right there the crosshairs if they went on Saturday.

340
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah? I agree, because you know,

341
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: you know that if you take care of business on

342
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: Saturday against Tampa Bay, you pretty much get an off

343
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: weed before the playoffs stunt and you wrap up the division.

344
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: Everything is in hand and then you can rest some

345
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: players and and so on and so forth. So I'd

346
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: imagine that they're going to have their best stuff and prepared,

347
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,719
Speaker 1: very much so prepared to go out and do business

348
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Carlos Hide gets over a thousand yards in

349
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: the victory against the Titans, has over a hundred yards.

350
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: What about him, Andrea, You and I have always kind

351
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: of liked this guy, and I remember watching him when

352
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: the Texans practiced against the forty nine ers out of

353
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: the West Coast in twenty sixteen, and here he is

354
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: doing this when a lot of teams had a shot

355
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: at him and didn't take him, but the Texans wanted him,

356
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: and he's paying dividends. What do you think of Carlos

357
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: this year? Yeah, it just kind of goes to show

358
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: you that if you just kind of keep your head

359
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: down and keep working, that at some point someone's going

360
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: to notice you. And that's exactly what happened with Carlos.

361
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: He's always been a tough runner. You get his very

362
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: best on every single carry. I mean, there is no

363
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: plays off whatsoever, whether he's in the game to run

364
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: the football or pass protector, even catch it out in

365
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: the backfield for that matter. But those things tend to

366
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: show up on film. Coaches notice it. He got an opportunity,

367
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: and the thing that's most important is when you get

368
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: the opportunity, what do you do with it? And he

369
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: took it, took the baton and certainly ran with it

370
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: to the tune of over a thousand yards and really

371
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: provided the punch all season long in the running thing

372
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: for the Texans offensively. All Right, So here's Tampa Bay

373
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: and Jameis Winston. We followed his career pretty closely. Florida

374
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: State national champion and number one pick in the draft

375
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: of the Buccaneers. He's trying to hang on there or

376
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: get a job somewhere else. What is happening with him

377
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: and Bruce Arians It looks like they have the right chemistry,

378
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: the right combination of coach and quarterback. Here as he's

379
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: lighting it up lately. What do you think? Yeah, I

380
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: think marked that he's hitting stride at the right time.

381
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: You know, he, as you says, playing basically for a

382
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: job somewhere, whether Jim Tampa or somewhere else. And I

383
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: think it's taken him a little while to get used

384
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: to a new offensive system, a new play caller to

385
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: go along with that, and he's finally hitting stride. They won.

386
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: I think it's scorn a row. He is playing extremely well.

387
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: So here you go again. If you're the Texans having

388
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: to face a team that's on a four game winning

389
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: steak with a hot offense, and by the way, they're

390
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: first against the run defensively, I think to the tune

391
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: of like seventy nine yards they allow on the ground,

392
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be tough to run the football against them.

393
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: That allows him to be a little more exotic when

394
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: you can stop the run and then defensively come after

395
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback, that's gonna be a tough one. So with Jamis,

396
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: he's playing his best football certainly at the right time,

397
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: not only for this year's team, but for his foreseeable future.

398
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: But maybe you could throw on that because they do

399
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: give up some passing yards and they do turn it

400
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: over on occasion, and maybe those occasions can be frequent

401
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: if you play some good d So what do you

402
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: think of all that? Yeah, I think so. I think

403
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: when Will Fuller's healthy, that opens up everything and it's

404
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: just the threat of him taking the top off the defense.

405
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: And you've got to really give credit to him as well.

406
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: Injuries happen, but when he's in the game and he's targeted,

407
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: the hands have been certainly a bigger difference in than

408
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: previous years. When he's in the game, he's catching everything

409
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: over the shoulder catches, he's reading zone coverage a lot better,

410
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: sing his body to the quarterback, he's making the tough grabs.

411
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: I think he means a big difference to what the

412
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: Texans can do offensively, and you're right against the team

413
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: that has hell been on stopping the run. You need

414
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: his services. So a secondary can't just sit on everything.

415
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: They have to respect the speed element and he certainly

416
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: brings in. Let me get your thoughts on some other

417
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: games here, Andreas. The Patriots will host the Bills right

418
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: after the Texans play the Buccaneers on Saturday. It's New

419
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: England and Buffalo in Foxborough, so the first meeting low

420
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: scoring affair Patriots wanted on the road. What do you

421
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: think of the Bill's chances of pulling off the upset

422
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: on the road for them this time? I give them

423
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: as good a chance as they've had it. I mean,

424
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: I know that series has been dominated by the Patriots

425
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: in the Beliset era, but this is a different Bills team.

426
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: I mean, a team that's going to the playoffs, a

427
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: team that kind of controls its own destiny, so to speak,

428
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: and a team that's young and talent and they've got

429
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: nothing to lose. So I think New England's gonna get

430
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: their very best. New England doesn't have the type of

431
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: weapons that they've had in the past. It's a different

432
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: makeup on offense, and defensively they're a little bit slower

433
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: than they have been in previous years. So it's a young, fast,

434
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: Bill's team on both sides of the ball. They should

435
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: present a significant amount of problems for the Patriots. Okay, Tennessee,

436
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: we talked a lot about them last week, of course,

437
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: and they're pretty good team. The Texans definitely did a

438
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: nice job in beating them on the road. They're still

439
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: at home this week to face the New Orleans Saints,

440
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: a team that just blasted the Colts on Monday night.

441
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: Football Titans fighting for their postseason lives. What do you

442
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: think of this one? Yeah, you know, this one kind

443
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: of scares me because it sets up a game that

444
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: they're able to beat the Saints next week for a

445
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: and then the Texans don't take care of business, it'll

446
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: set up a matchup for the division next week. You know,

447
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: Tennessee will show up, they'll play hard. They've made some

448
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: mistakes again last week against the Texans that they're looking

449
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: to uh so mend and and shure up some things

450
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: as as they get ready for next week. Okay, let's

451
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: go to the NFC here one more for you. The

452
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: Packers at the Vikings on Monday Night. An intriguing matchup

453
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: for sure, and we know how difficult that stadium is

454
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: to play in. Yeah, that's a tough one, because Minnesota's

455
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: got a dominating defense. That's fast, it can can certainly

456
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: cause some problems. They're at home, They've had their share

457
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: of of good things happen on the offensive side of

458
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: the bar. And then there's Green Bay, who I think

459
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: they've finally gotten used to two new systems, one on

460
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 1: offense and certainly on defense. That's a good matchup. I

461
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: think that's a coin toss in terms of who wins

462
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: that game. Andre where join? I guess Drake, You're doing

463
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: the Academy Sports and Outdoors Texas Bowl on ESPN, and

464
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: this is one of the very best bowls out there

465
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: attendance wise, and this matchup is terrific. With the Yaggis

466
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma State getting together, attendance is going to be great.

467
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: But it's not that way with so many of the bulls.

468
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: What do you think of the college football postseason in general? Yeah,

469
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: I think there're one are too many bowls. I think

470
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: when when six and six teams are getting in the

471
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: bowl games, you're oversaturating the market for in terms of

472
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 1: bowl games as well, I think bowl affiliations are one

473
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: that I would like to really do away with. Where

474
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: a conference is third place team is automatically going to

475
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: this Bowl, and that's something where you could really really

476
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: generate some interest from the fans. It would also force

477
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: the bowls to go back and to really do their

478
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: homework through the season and go out and watch teams

479
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: play so on and so forth. Uh, and where it

480
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: generates some interests who's really coming rather than we already

481
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: know pretty much who's coming. And so I think there

482
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: needs to be a different look. We've we've kind of

483
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: gone back and now we have a playoff where we

484
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: didn't have a few years ago. Computers were deciding there's

485
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: there's time due to kind of reseffle the deck in

486
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: terms of how we look at bowls and how the

487
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: matchups are made up. Andre we're joining us on Texas Radio. Now,

488
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: what about the game itself here at NRG Stadium, Texas

489
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: A and M and Oklahoma State. Early thoughts on that

490
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,239
Speaker 1: we'll dig deeper next week. But what do you think

491
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: right now? Yeah? I think this is one of the

492
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: few balls that have gotten They've gotten it right. I mean,

493
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: it's an old Big twelve matchup with with two teams

494
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: that were in the same conference, two teams that can

495
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: certainly put up some points and add some excitement to

496
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: the old season and it's and it happens right here

497
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: in our city of Houston, Texas. So two good, two

498
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: outstanding coaches that have run some pretty dominant programs over

499
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: the years, and I think this one sets up to

500
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,719
Speaker 1: be one of the better boll matchups a bull season. Okay,

501
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: my friend, Well, looking forward to the trip to Tampa.

502
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot for the time, and let's get ready

503
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: for Saturday. Let's do it. That's right, let's do it Saturday.

504
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: Let's do it up in Tampa. Then as some people

505
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: hear that and like, yeah, let's do it, and no,

506
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: we're not not that. We're not like that. And if

507
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: you know anything about Tampa, you know I'm talking about

508
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: But if you don't, don't worry about it. We're talking

509
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: about the game, talking about the game on Saturday. It's

510
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: my Well, I was telling this to Drew Dordan locker room.

511
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: So my first time in Tampa in twenty years. The

512
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: last time I was in Tampa was nineteen ninety nine.

513
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: I took the Episcopal Eagles down to Tampa in a

514
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: hurricane to take on the Berkeley Prep Buccaneers and we won.

515
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: We won. They'd beaten them badly. They've been this badly

516
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: year before and even worse year before that went down

517
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: there drops the midline option on him. Came home, got

518
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: out of there before the hurricane hit, made it home.

519
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: Our bus ran somebody off the road and we paid

520
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: him a few bucks because they were hammered, and we

521
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: got home about three o'clock in the morning. But we

522
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: came home with a w no rain from the hurricane,

523
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: and it was all good. And hopefully we have the

524
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: same kind of thing. We don't run anybody off the

525
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: road with our bus, but it would be the only

526
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: thing as different. But looking forward to this trip, my

527
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: first time back to Tampa in a while. So I

528
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 1: just want to see us win the game. That's all

529
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: I care about. It doesn't matter whether that's taking place

530
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: in Tampa, Miami or Jacksonville, doesn't matter. Just go to Florida,

531
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: get a win, get home, celebrate the holidays. As we

532
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: are AFC Cell Champs. So Week sixteen, here we go,

533
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: all right, we get back. It's my man, dirty Red.

534
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: Clint Starner is gonna join me and talk about what

535
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: he saw on Sunday against Tennessee Titans, what he thinks

536
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: about this team going forward. And it's a special day today.

537
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: It started really early in the morning. What does that

538
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: have to do with Clint? Well, think college. Maybe not

539
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. We'll talk about that next right

540
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: here in Texans Alexis. Welcome back to Wednesday edition of

541
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: Texans All Access from Monday Texans Or Radio Studio. I'm

542
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: your host, John Harris. I am joined now by my

543
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: good friend you here. I'm on Sports Trading six ten,

544
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: two to six every single afternoon. You can hear him

545
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: do our postgame show with Sean Pendergast. He is in Arkansas,

546
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: Razor back, through and through. It is my man, Clint Starner. Clint,

547
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: how you doing, my man? Happy holidays do your brother? Yeah,

548
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: same to you, man. All Is Will again man that

549
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: the Texans get a big out here when they needed

550
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: it the most, and there are one step closer that

551
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: that played offf goal and being able to have another

552
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: opportunity to make a run at a big dance. Man.

553
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: So all Is Will, Clint, just your overall thought of

554
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: what the Texans did Sunday going to Tennessee. It wasn't

555
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: perfect by any means, and I'm sure we'll talk about,

556
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: you know, the two turnovers down in in the red

557
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: zone in the end zone actually before this team, but

558
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: going to Tennessee, taking on a hot team and coming

559
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: off that game to Denver and going up there getting

560
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: to win, doing some doing some good things offensively in

561
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: the second half to really kind of answer what the

562
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: Titans had done. What do you think overall what the

563
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: Texas did last Sunday, Well, that's one. I think you

564
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: went into a hostile environment on the road, a loud,

565
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: loud environment with versus a very hot team, a very

566
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: dangerous team that was with the exception of their field

567
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: goal kicker, they're really solid across the board, and they

568
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to Titans do to really take advantage

569
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: of every mistake that you make and every opportunity you

570
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 1: give them, and so h you know, those teams are

571
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: scary this time of year, man, and I thought it

572
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: was I thought, all in all, it was a great

573
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: job by the Texas going in and getting to w Man.

574
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: They overcame some adversity, which I think throughout the season,

575
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, we got a good sample size of of

576
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: times when adversity struck and the team hasn't answered, the

577
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: team hasn't responded, and they add or a loss. Sometimes

578
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: and sometimes an embarrassing loss. And this was a good

579
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: rebound game for the Texans because, as you said, everything

580
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: wasn't perfect. There was plenty of opportunities to get your

581
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: daver down and and maybe let Tennessee get back into

582
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: this thing. But the Texans answered the bail every single

583
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: time they won, and they won when they weren't hitting

584
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: on all cylinders on the road, and that's always a

585
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: good thing. Yeah, there's no question about getting a win

586
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: on the road, especially at this time of year. Close

587
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: dive into what you saw from the Shawn Watson and

588
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: throwing the football, had the two mistakes, the two interceptions,

589
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: and I heard you actually talking about this yesterday. I

590
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: thought it was intriguing to listen to you talk about

591
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: the two interceptions that the Shawn threw. The first one,

592
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, he throws into seemingly a cover two hall,

593
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: he threw late, he didn't see Duke till late, Kenny

594
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: ven Carl makes me a nice interception, and the pop

595
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: past you. You said it perfectly, so I don't want

596
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: to steal your thunder, But what did you see from

597
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: the Seawan those two interceptions, but then bouncing back after

598
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: that and having a really clean fourth quarter after that

599
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: second interception particular. Well, here's the good thing about Deshaun

600
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: Watching is the mistakes he's making are mistakes that you

601
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: can that you can really teach off of. It's not well,

602
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: that was just a dumb throw, or that was a

603
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: that was a poor that was a poor decision, or

604
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: you know, that was just chalk that up to the

605
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: chaos in the pocket making a bad decision. I mean,

606
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: every single one of the mistakes are mistakes that you

607
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: should be able to sit down in the meeting room

608
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watching and go, look, man, you saw that

609
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: you saw on the first interception, You saw the safety

610
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: fell to deep haves. You knew what it was. What

611
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: you've got to understand is when you're in the red zone,

612
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: the windows are more narrow than they are when you're

613
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: in the field, and so that safety's sitting a little

614
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: bit heavier and he can break on route throwing underneath

615
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: him a little bit quicker. And that's not something Deshan

616
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: Watch is in the video. The power is in the film.

617
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: The power is in the fact that he's the one

618
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: making the mistake in live action. And that's the best

619
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: teacher for a quarterback. And so that was just a

620
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: throw that if it were made a little bit quicker,

621
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: if he has sat a little bit more patient in

622
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 1: the pocket cross sensed a little bit quicker and drove

623
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: the ball on the outside pylon, then it would have

624
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: been an easy catch. And we've been talking about how

625
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: great of a throw it was. But instead he gets

626
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: to the lanty, dances around a little bit, and he's late,

627
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 1: and he throws it inside Duke Johnson. And so those

628
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: are things that he can learn from and get better from.

629
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: The pop pass was a trajectory. You know, the aiming

630
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: spot for that throw is a crossbar. That that throw

631
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: he made, he would have missed a crossbar by four

632
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: yards loads regardless, he's got to throw that ball up

633
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: and in worst case scenario, it's incomplete. Best case scenario,

634
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 1: it's a It's a high point alley type throw toe

635
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 1: tap by Will Fuller, touchdown Texans. So very coachable points

636
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: man on tape for the Shaun Why No, it's interesting

637
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: with that pop pass. That is a play that I

638
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: think has worked every game against the Titans. Sense to

639
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: Sean has been the quarterback and they've thrown the hopkins.

640
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: They throw at the foy throw out the both they've

641
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 1: run that play and Jeffrey Simmons dead gum at Jeffrey Simmons.

642
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: We gotta face that guy twice a year for the

643
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: next how many every years? That is a really good,

644
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: good football player, Clinton, I know it's a quarterback. Having

645
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: a relationship with wide receivers is It's always kind of

646
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: an interesting one because I'm always intrigued by because receivers

647
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: always seem to think that they're open every single time

648
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: they're on the field. Always always loved the route. When

649
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: the receiver is like two steps off to a lot

650
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, he's putting his hand up like, I'm open, bro,

651
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: throw me the football. In the game on Sunday, DeAndre

652
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: Hopkins had a catch early on, and I don't think

653
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: he had much other than that going into the fourth quarter,

654
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: and then apparently on the sidelines he sort of let

655
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 1: it be known that hey, wait a second, I'm here, guys,

656
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: he might want to throw me the football, and then

657
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: he explodes in the fourth quarter. That relationship with a

658
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver is always kind of interesting. When you were

659
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: playing quarterback, did you ever have instances where you had

660
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: a receiver come over to you like old me the

661
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: ball and you're like, hey, you're not open, but I

662
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: am open, but no, get open. If you ever had

663
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: that kind of relationship with the receiver or the receiver's

664
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,479
Speaker 1: like you gotta get me the ball and you gotta

665
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: get it to me. Now, I don't think a Hop

666
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: was quite demonstrative like that, but he probably made his

667
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: point to get to shun and throwing the football. Did

668
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: you ever have that as a quarterback with a wide receiver. Yeah, man,

669
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: I had a guy named Anthony Lucas that was a

670
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: thousand yard receiver in the SEC. It wasn't for injuries,

671
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: he'd still be playing the NFL in the day. He

672
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 1: was about six four as a four three guy. I mean,

673
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: he could go and he was the guy that man,

674
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: if he was one on one, he was open. I

675
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: mean it was very rare that he had to he

676
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: had to let me know that he was open because

677
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: I fed him consistently. Were you know. I mean I

678
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: was in a little different offense. We were run heavy

679
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: play action, and really between me and my go to

680
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: receiver is if they loaded the box up, I was

681
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: going to him, period, point blank. This offense that the

682
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: seaun's running is a little bit more spread than what

683
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: I ran, And so I think one thing that was

684
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: that was really impressive John about the Tennessee Titans game

685
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: was that that was a game where Deshan was shook

686
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: up a little bit. A couple of times, he was

687
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 1: a little unsure of what they were doing, a couple

688
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: of times, he was full of a couple of times,

689
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: and he hung in there and eventually processed it, deciphered

690
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: what was going on and made some throws. And so

691
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: I would imagine that Hopkins going to him and going,

692
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: hey man, regardless of what you think, just stick with me.

693
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm open. I promise you. I'm not coming to you

694
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,280
Speaker 1: and telling you that I'm open and I'm double covered,

695
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 1: or if this isn't a selfish act, I'm telling you

696
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm there in these certain kind of looks hanging there

697
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: with me, and he did in the fourth quarter when

698
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: it mattered. So there's no doubt about it. The chemistry

699
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: between those two guys and the trust really is what

700
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: it is. If hop was a loud mouth that just

701
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: went to him all the time and wanting catches, then

702
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be as effective. But Deshaun can rest assured

703
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: that when Hopkins comes to him and tells him to

704
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: be patient in his read that he's gonna come open.

705
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: He's coming out. Then, I think the Sean trust that

706
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: believes in it and takes it to the bank. And

707
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: you saw that. You saw the the product of that

708
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Talking about Buddy Clint Starner Clint. Defensively,

709
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: the Texans shut the Titans out in the first half

710
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: and blocked the field goal, got to pick down at

711
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: the goal line, but opportunistic to keep them to zero

712
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: in the first half. It didn't get twenty one to

713
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: the second half. They and it kind of against the

714
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: prevent defense, I guess late in the game got won.

715
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: But overall, defensively, especially against the run, it felt like

716
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: they were really good. The John Smith run, I mean,

717
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened there, but John H. Smith

718
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: caught the toss or took the toss for about fifty

719
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: seven yards. But overall, defensively, how did you feel about

720
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: the way this unit performs Sunday afternoon? Well, I mean,

721
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: I think they've done a hell of a job all

722
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 1: year long, excluding the Broncos game. I mean, I think

723
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: they've they've had a good plan, they've adjusted well, they've

724
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: overcome adversity, they've overcome the injuries. Um so, so really,

725
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: let's I mean, let's let's make sure the expectations are realistic.

726
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: Um you know. I think this week, this past week,

727
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,760
Speaker 1: the emphasis was on stopping the run, stopping a downhill

728
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: and between the tackles run attack in more specific and

729
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: they do a hell of a job versus a man.

730
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: There's there's two really concerns. I think the stats are

731
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: very misleading when you look at this team versus the past,

732
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: they're twenty six or twenty eighth, and total yards they're

733
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: twenty six or twenty eighth somewhere in there. They're nineteenth

734
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: versus the run, they're nineteenth versus you know, and points allowed.

735
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: I just think that's a little bit misleading when you

736
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: consider everything that they've been through and that there are

737
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: some really really good things that they do at any

738
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: leag levels. Stopping the run between the tackles is one

739
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: of them. They are really really good across the board

740
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: with their front five, the three down linemen and the

741
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: two outside linebackers. When Brendan Scarlet is healthy, they are

742
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: really really good against the run. Now, on the flip

743
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 1: side of that, they struggle getting pressure, so that's gonna

744
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: be something that's gonna bite them. But but that all

745
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: in all, man, with all consider J J. Wattah, no

746
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: Savion Cloudy really no player that Brenton's to pressure the

747
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: quarterback consistently that an offense has to focus on in

748
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: protection and in run schemes. If you if you throw

749
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: that in the mix, it's pretty impressive what they've been

750
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: able to do. Clint. It's a unique day because back

751
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: in our day it didn't happen until February, but you

752
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: now have early signing day in college football. What do

753
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: you remember about signing to go to University Ark and

754
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 1: so what do you remember about that situation? Wow? Man,

755
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: I was I was convinced that's where I was going

756
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: to represent, convinced that's where I needed to go. I love,

757
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: I love the fell in love with the university. I

758
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: fell in love with the team, and I knew the

759
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: quarterback room was was set up for me to get

760
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: an opportunity to compete sooner rather than later. And so

761
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: that's all I can ask for. I didn't I didn't

762
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: need to be in love with the head coach and

763
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: it didn't trust him. I didn't need to be in

764
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: love with him, but I love the guys that I

765
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 1: was going to spend four to five years with. I

766
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: knew my opportunity was there, and I was convinced Arkansas

767
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: was the right spight. So National Signing Day was a

768
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: really cool day for me, man, with my high school guys,

769
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: my high school coach, and my family to confidently take

770
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: the next step and in my life and spend the

771
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: next five years at the University of Arkansas and Fayette

772
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: Deale in northwest Arkansas with a bunch of great people

773
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 1: in a great university. So, man, it was it was

774
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: a great day for me. Man. It wasn't a bunch

775
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 1: of last minute decisions, and uh, there wasn't a lot

776
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: of pressure from other coaches, and so I can only

777
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: imagine what some of these guys are going through, man,

778
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: But for me, it was a beautiful day. Did you

779
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: do the hat trick where you put the hats out

780
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: and you maybe picked up the the Texas C and

781
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: M hat and then put it down. You picked up

782
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: the Texas hat and put it down and put the

783
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: Arkansas one on? How did you How did you announce

784
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: your signing which is a lot different now because of

785
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: social media, guys are doing different things. But how did

786
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 1: you announce that you were going to Arkansas? Yeah? I

787
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: just put the razor back on my head. Man, I

788
00:41:58,520 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: just put the hat on, you know what I mean.

789
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: I didn't have a bunch to pick from. It came

790
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 1: down between LSU and Arkansas for me, And like I said,

791
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: I was convinced I didn't need to play a bunch

792
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,919
Speaker 1: of games. I'm not one of those kind of guys. Anyway,

793
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: I just sat there quietly. When it came my turning,

794
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: I pulled out my razor back hat, put it on

795
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: my head and became a part of hog Nation. And

796
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 1: so it was pretty simple for me. Brother. That's why

797
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,479
Speaker 1: I love you. Brother. You just make you make it easy.

798
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: You didn't bring out like a hog or you didn't

799
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: bring out anything like that or have any kind of

800
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: you know, fakaru or anything like that. So that's why

801
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: I love you. Man. You're the best. You just keep

802
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 1: it simple, you keep it clean, you keep it entertaining.

803
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: As always, Clint, you're the best of my man. We

804
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:38,879

Speaker 1: Please be aware it's Saturday that I'll be the twenty

811
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:06,879
Speaker 1: first and then hopefully at sub point you will end

812
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: up being able to watch all kinds of games on

813
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: Sunday after the Texans have won a division with a

814
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,720
Speaker 1: win on Saturday, that's all I gotta do. Win on Saturday,

815
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: win a division, and then you can sit back and

816
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: like you can watch a lot of things happen on

817
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: Sunday and it won't really matter because the Texans will

818
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: have that division taken care of. Now, what about those

819
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We don't face them, but every four

820
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: years you can watch them on and if a primetime

821
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: or see some of the highlights, or know some of

822
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: the guys because they went to local colleges. But we

823
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: really don't know the Bucks all that well. But Casey

824
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: Phillips covers the Bucks four the team. She is their

825
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: version of Dpcity. So put the two of them together,

826
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna get Great Radio next, as we go behind

827
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: Enemy Sidelines with Dpcity, and this week it is Casey

828
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: Phillips who will give us the skinny on a team

829
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: that's banged up at one particular position that could really

830
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: really matter On Saturday, Casey Phillips going behind Enemy Sidelines

831
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,959

Speaker 1: dot com today to register to take the stats Challenge.

834
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: This one's having to do with these two quarterbacks on Saturday.

835
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, twenty thirteen Heisman Trophy winner and to Shaun Watson,

836
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 1: National champion from the twenty sixteen season. In the NFL,

837
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,720
Speaker 1: Winston's kind of been all over the place, best of times,

838
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: the worst of times, best of times. He's throwing thirty

839
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns that's second in the NFL. He is only behind

840
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson zoomably the twenty nineteen MVP. Jamis thirty touchdowns.

841
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: He's also thrown twenty four interceptions, that is last in

842
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 1: the league. Interceptions. Shaun Watson has thrown twenty six touchdowns

843
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: that is tied for fourth in the league. His eleven

844
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: interceptions are middle of the pack. Four quarterbacks that have

845
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: thrown a certain number of times. So he's throwing eleven

846
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: interceptions after having thrown two last week. So twenty six

847
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: eleven versus thirty in twenty four touchdown interception ratios for

848
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: your two quarterbacks. And those are your stat That is

850
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: time to go behind enemy sidelines with our good friend DPCO.

851
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: This week she talks to her counterpart in Tampa Bay,

852
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 1: Casey Phillips covers the Bucks for the Bucks. Let's get

853
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: to know these Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the eyes of

854
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 1: Casey Phillips. As we go behind enemy sidelines with DPC, Casey,

855
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: how's it going today. It's going great, especially coming off

856
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: a four game win streak. Everything is roses around here.

857
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: I was gonna say the Bucks are red hot, the

858
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: wind the wind streak, and then now it's a little

859
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: bit of a strange short week. How are things around

860
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: the building for you guys over there, Because it's not

861
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: quite a Sunday game, it's not a Thursday night game,

862
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: but the schedule is a bit condensed, is it not. Yeah,

863
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: it's been a little bit hectic. You know, thankfully we

864
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: have a great group of guys in this locker room

865
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: who loved things in the community, which they've done. They're

866
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: doing about a thousand holiday events this week, which is great.

867
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: But then of course you do have the short week

868
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 1: as well, and I know the coach, I think that

869
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: was harder actually on the coaches than the players. You know,

870
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: they when the players did practice on a day they

871
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: would normally have off, it was more of a walk through,

872
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: and the coaches are doing a good job of trying

873
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: to make sure that the guy's bodies are in good shape.

874
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: But it was it was the coaches who really on

875
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: Monday had a marathon day trying to get all of

876
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: the game planning they would normally do on a Monday

877
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: and Tuesday crammed in just one day. Yeah, let's talk

878
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: about the coaches, particularly Bruce arians year one with him,

879
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: he starts off two and six. Now the Bucks are

880
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: averaging twenty nine point seven points per game. They're winning games,

881
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 1: are up to five hundred now after winning the quite

882
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: a few games. Now Here in this last stretch, where

883
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: can you really pinpoint the turnaround or a momentum shift

884
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: that this team had This year. Yeah, you know, I

885
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 1: think Jacksonville was a really big win for us because

886
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: we were up big, which is a new thing that

887
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: you know, coaches talked about how he's hated that we

888
00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: are the nicest team in the league, as he puts it,

889
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: because he like to spot teams, you know, fourteen points

890
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: to start a game and then have to car way back.

891
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: So just showing that we could get up big and

892
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: then it looked like the lead was going to slip away,

893
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: and then got it, you know, to hang on in there.

894
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: And then it was the same story, you know this

895
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: last week where big lead looks like it's maybe slipping away,

896
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: and it seems like it's this new attitude if we're

897
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: going to find a way to win, and that's the

898
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: it's almost like the winning is contagious mindset and after

899
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: struggling for a while, that wasn't the mindset the team

900
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: it had. And suddenly even even the players were saying

901
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: this last week. They were like, you know, if this

902
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: exact game happened earlier this year or even years past,

903
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: we might not have won it. But now they're just

904
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: seems to be this new infectious attitude if we are

905
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: going to find a way to win this game. And then,

906
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: of course it's when you have a new scheme on

907
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, when you've an entirely new

908
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: coaching staff, and you have so many rookies having to

909
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: contribute in really big ways. We all knew it was

910
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: going to take a little bit of time for it

911
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: seems to really click, and somehow it just feels like

912
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: offensively and defensively, the schemes and everybody buying in and

913
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: only knowing their roles and jobs and duties all kind

914
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 1: of clicked right around the same time. And unfortunately it

915
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,720
Speaker 1: was just a hair too late to be in playoff contention,

916
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: because you know, we were eliminated even on a week

917
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 1: that we won a game, just because of what happened

918
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: around the NFC. But it does feel like finally they

919
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 1: all have clicked and understand their roles. It's really tremendous

920
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 1: to see Jamis Winston in year five putting up the

921
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 1: numbers that he's put up over four hundred and fifty

922
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: yards passing and back to back weeks he leads the

923
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: NFL and passing yards per game. What do you think

924
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: has been the difference for him this year and how

925
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: much has Arians really adapted his style of offense to

926
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: suit Winston. Well, yeah, I mean this really was a

927
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 1: match made in heaven in so many ways. Of the

928
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: reason that Bruce Arians said that a big part of

929
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: why he took this job was the fact that Jamis

930
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: Winston was here, that he knew that Jamis was a

931
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 1: quarterback that would fit well in his system. He likes

932
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 1: to throw the ball downfield, and really, Jamis, we've seen

933
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: a big improvement on his deep ball that you know,

934
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: we all heard how last year he into Sean Jackson

935
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: sort of struggled to get on the same page there,

936
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: and in this last week's game was a point in

937
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: the game when every passing play was averaging something like

938
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: eighteen yards. That just some of these bigger downfield plays,

939
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: and you have guys like Scottie Miller, Breshad Pareman that

940
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: are speed deep threats for sure. Now, of course, unfortunately

941
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: Scotty millers in place on IR, but you've had some

942
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 1: really speedy guys out there that can stretch the field,

943
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: and that really, you know, has been opened up things

944
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 1: for later on this year, like for our multiple tight

945
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: ends that we have that can be pass catchers. As

946
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: though j Howard and Cam Right. So and then you've

947
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: when you have Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, who now

948
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: have both made the Pro Bowl, first time two wide

949
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: receivers in the same team have made it on the

950
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: initial ballot in a long time. It kind of makes

951
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: you just go look at these defenses trying to cover

952
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: all that and say, how in the world do you

953
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: even go about it. So in any given day when

954
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: a team would double Mike Evans and Chris would have

955
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:45,919
Speaker 1: a big day or you'd somehow be able to shut

956
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: both of them down, and then you Knowsha Pereman has

957
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: a huge day as well. So it just felt like

958
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: there were James did a great job of just going

959
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: to whoever was open and available, not forcing things. And

960
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: there are so many offensive weapons he's had that the

961
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: last couple of games, we've had nine players at least

962
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: catch a pass from him, So there's just weapons all

963
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: over the place, and he's done a great job of

964
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: just going to whoever was open and not forcing things.

965
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: It's really tremendous because I remember seeing Mike Evans at

966
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: his Pro day here at Texas A and M back

967
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,799
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen, and to lose a guy like that

968
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: for a few games and then to still be able

969
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: to step up and find your receivers. Is it is

970
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 1: there something about Mike Evans that either are a number

971
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: of guys can sort of step up and take his place,

972
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: or how is it that you have a group of

973
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: receivers that really step up to take a place of

974
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: a guy that is so talented. He was a first

975
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: round draft pick and just really the a stellar wide receiver,

976
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,919
Speaker 1: maybe among the best in the league. Yeah, I don't

977
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 1: think any of them would say that they take his place.

978
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: I think they all know that Mike is such a

979
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: unique guy that he is huge, big body, tough for

980
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: a corner to guard, but he's still fast and can

981
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: get down feel and he's just an athletic specimen. And

982
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the guys in that locker

983
00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: room would say, yeah, we're not going to take his place.

984
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: We're going to have to step up and do more. So,

985
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, losing him you can't replace that. It is

986
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 1: a very difficult thing. But that's what was so incredible

987
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: to just see that not only did you have guys

988
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:13,439
Speaker 1: who could make big plays that they were talking about

989
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: how these wide receivers ended up playing in different spots

990
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: than they ever had before that because you had so

991
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,720
Speaker 1: many guys get hurt, that Mike goes down, then Chris

992
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: goes down, and Scotty goes down. That you have guys

993
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: playing the X who normally play the Y, and guys

994
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: having to play the Z that are normally the accent.

995
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: It was just all over the place. So the fact

996
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: that something that Bruce arians has really stressed with this

997
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: offense is making sure that everyone knows everyone's jobs, and

998
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: that's why that was even a possibility that they could

999
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: throw Even a Justin Watson, who before a couple weeks

1000
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: ago only had two catches for eighteen yards in his

1001
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,399
Speaker 1: whole career with US so far, was able to step

1002
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: in there, get a touchdown, get you know, multiple catches

1003
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,359
Speaker 1: these last couple of games, playing all the different wide

1004
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: receiver spots because they all were forced to learn that

1005
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: along the way and not just their job they normally have.

1006
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 1: You know what, James Winston, it's sort of a strange

1007
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 1: year for him. He's sort of going to be at

1008
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: a crossroads at the end of the season. Do you

1009
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: get the sense that he's really done enough this year

1010
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: to improve, to sort of solidify his future in Tampa Bay.

1011
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: I know interceptions early on were a big thing for him,

1012
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: but it seems like arians also likes to take a

1013
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 1: lot of chances, like you said, down the field. So

1014
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 1: you know, where do you foresee the future? I guess

1015
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: if you could look into a crystal ball for what

1016
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: it may hold for Jamis Winston in his future with

1017
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Boy, that's a million dollar question, isn't it.

1018
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 1: That's that's been the story of this entire season down

1019
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: here in Tampa Bay is what was Jamis going to

1020
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: do and what's the team going to do with him?

1021
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: And I absolutely have no idea what their plans are

1022
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: going to be for him. They're definitely playing that close

1023
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: to the vest. But you said it right that you

1024
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:45,959
Speaker 1: know Bruce does take a lot of chances down the field,

1025
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:47,760
Speaker 1: and there have been a lot of times that Bruce

1026
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: has come out in very strong defensive Jamis that on

1027
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: games where he did have three or four interceptions maybe,

1028
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: and he would take everybody through each one of those

1029
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: and explain the ones that were on Jamis and the

1030
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: ones that weren't. And there was a point in time

1031
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: when I think Jamis had around eighteen or nineteen interceptions

1032
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 1: that coach said he felt like only ten of those

1033
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 1: were actually on Jamis and based on either wide receivers

1034
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: running the wrong route or you know, just not making

1035
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: the catch and tipping it up where anybody could get at.

1036
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: Things like that sort of those flukey plays. So, you know,

1037
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to really say how they're truly evaluating

1038
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: what he's done, but I know they don't believe that

1039
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: all those interceptions and mistakes are on him. And then

1040
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: he does have, like he said, these back to back

1041
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: games of four hundred fifty plus yards that you know,

1042
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 1: first player in NFL history to do that. It is

1043
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: really a challenging thing to look at as a whole

1044
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: and evaluate. But I know he has done a lot

1045
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: of really amazing things here at the end of this

1046
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: season that I'm sure are helping the case. But whether

1047
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: it's you know, a franchise tag or a long term

1048
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: deal or moving on that that's thing we really just

1049
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: don't know at this point. But he has done a

1050
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: lot this season that is really good, very impressive, kept

1051
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 1: the team in games, gotten them back into games when

1052
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: it otherwise looked impossible, and the guys definitely follow his

1053
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: leadership that you know, I remember Oj Howard saying recently

1054
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 1: that in a game when they were behind by a lot,

1055
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, he really said, Hey, you know what, we're

1056
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 1: gonna do this, We're gonna come back. And they believe him.

1057
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 1: They said, they believe in him, and they follow him

1058
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: as a leader. So there's there's a lot to be

1059
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: set for that. That defense is being run by Todd

1060
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: Bowls over there. You mentioned a lot of young guys

1061
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 1: on defense, but then there's also some wily veterans there too,

1062
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: and Dominican Sue in his tenth season, So it's an

1063
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: interesting mix of vets and young players. But when you

1064
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:25,879
Speaker 1: look at a guy like Sue in his tenth year,

1065
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: what makes him so effective this many years in the league,

1066
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: and what does he sort of bring to that locker

1067
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: room and to a younger group of players around him.

1068
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: Sue is such an interesting guy and an interesting player.

1069
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: It's been really cool having him here. I mean, he

1070
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 1: is just such a diverse guy in terms of his

1071
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 1: interests and what he's like, and he is just he

1072
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: really is the epitome of a veteran where he knows

1073
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: how to go about his business. I think the other

1074
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: day he was saying how his bedtime and no joke

1075
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: is like seven forty five or eight at night that

1076
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: he goes to vets in because he wants to make

1077
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: sure he's all well arrested and gets up super early

1078
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 1: to start, you know, working on his craft. I mean

1079
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: he just takes his body and everything incredibly seriously takes

1080
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: and he'll be in there studying even when other guys aren't.

1081
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,439
Speaker 1: Maybe he's someone that knows how to be a pro

1082
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 1: and that is invaluable to have in a locker room.

1083
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: And I mean this is a guy who Warren Buffett

1084
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 1: is a mentor of his. I mean this he is

1085
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: just such a world traveler, entrepreneur, you know, Renaissance kind

1086
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 1: of man almost, and I think that is just such

1087
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 1: a great influence on some of these younger guys to

1088
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: see not only how to prepare yourself on the field,

1089
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: but just to prepare yourself for even life after football.

1090
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: He's been a great role model in a lot of ways,

1091
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 1: and I think having him, especially next to Vita vea Ore,

1092
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, first round draft pick from last year, was

1093
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 1: really big for him to just have that as a

1094
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 1: not only role model, but someone to eat up some

1095
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 1: double teams and give Vita a break, give some of

1096
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: these other guys a break. That I think too has

1097
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: been double team more than almost any other d lineman

1098
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 1: in the league. So he's just a massive body that

1099
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 1: can take up a lot of other people and give

1100
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: other guys on the line and the outside linebackers more

1101
00:55:57,760 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: of a chance. Man, Why wouldn't want you to go

1102
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: to bed at seven forty five every night? I think

1103
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: I'd be a new person if I can get to

1104
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: bed early. Astaggles. All right, Casey, what are some of

1105
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 1: those storylines you're working on this week on the Tampa

1106
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 1: Bay side. Well, of course, the wide receivers, I mean

1107
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: that's that's and just pass catchers overall. Seeing how Jamis

1108
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: is going to be able to use some of these

1109
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 1: other weapons, are tight End's gonna be stepping up because

1110
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:23,720
Speaker 1: when you are now without you know, Mike and Chris

1111
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: and Scottie. I mean, it's just it's crazy to all

1112
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden have such a rash of injuries at

1113
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 1: any at any one position. That would be really challenging.

1114
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: But knowing that, um, you guys are bringing in a

1115
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 1: lot of offensive weapons that something Tampa has been good

1116
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 1: at is offensive shootouts. And that's before all these injuries.

1117
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: What I would have said this game would be is

1118
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: it's just a complete shootout. And I would have honestly thought,

1119
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 1: you know, we we had a pretty good chance there

1120
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,280
Speaker 1: the way we've been playing and putting up insane numbers

1121
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 1: and staffs. But now it's going to maybe be either, Okay,

1122
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 1: can these other pass catchers, you know, guys that weren't

1123
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 1: really getting reps at wide receiver earlier this year, guys

1124
00:56:58,239 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 1: that have been called up from the practice squad, or

1125
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: can they step up and be enough of threat to

1126
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: still have a shootout, Or are we going to have

1127
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: to ask a lot of these really young dbs to

1128
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: take on your trio of wide receivers, which is an

1129
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 1: incredibly tall order for anybody, much less a group that

1130
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: is a lot of rookies back there. So I think

1131
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: that it's going to be if the defense can set

1132
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 1: the tone early and show that they can hang with

1133
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: the DeAndre Hobbins and then Will and Kenny and those guys,

1134
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: then that might relieve a lot of the pressure on

1135
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: some of these new still cutting their teeth wide receivers.

1136
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: So if we can make it a shootout, great, If

1137
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: our defense can try to hang with those guys even better.

1138
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: And I think those are gonna be the two main

1139
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: question marks going into this weekend. Yeah, and I think

1140
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 1: I was looking at the weather. It was calling for

1141
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 1: seventy percent chance of rain, So that might definitely change

1142
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: plans for both offenses if that's the case. Yeah, something

1143
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: that we are unfortunately pretty used to here, especially with

1144
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: training camp and everything being in the rainy season and

1145
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 1: in summer for us, So maybe that'll give us a

1146
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: little edge over you guys who like to play indoors.

1147
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: I know, but I'm not gonna complain about heading to

1148
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in December. There's a lot of worse places

1149
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,959
Speaker 1: we could go, that's for sure. Part is not something

1150
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: not many other in many other games at the time

1151
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: of the year. Great stuff there from Casey and of

1152
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: course from DP. We get back the end of the

1153
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: lab crew takes over talking about this one and a

1154
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: trip down memory lane from twenty eleven. Welcome back to

1155
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 1: Wednesday this year Texas All Access from the Hounday Texans

1156
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: Radio Studio. I am John Harris, your host, Paul and

1157
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: analyst and Southern reporter for your Houston Texans and one

1158
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: half of the in the Lab podcast. That is sweeping

1159
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: the Nation or sweeping Houston, either way, however you want

1160
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: to look at it. Nation, Houston's kind of wanted the

1161
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 1: same anyways. I mean, Houston's all that matters. But Drew

1162
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 1: Doherty and I sit down each and every week and

1163
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: we break bread and we talk about the certain aspects

1164
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 1: of things going on with the team. We'd like to

1165
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: geek out, nerd out and bring in some stats to

1166
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 1: talk about some things, go a little deeper on some

1167
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: things than we might otherwise, And we decided to take

1168
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: a little walk down memory lane, if you will, as

1169
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: we get ready for this game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Johnny,

1170
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: you like going down memory lane, don't you. Oh? Absolutely,

1171
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 1: so let's stroll down memory lane to twenty eleven. The Texans.

1172
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: It was a long time ago. They were facing a bye,

1173
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: but before that by they had to play the Tampa

1174
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. At that point, Tampa was kind of huddling

1175
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 1: or hugging five hundred, a little bit below five hundred.

1176
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: They had Albert Hainsworth in the middle. He had just

1177
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: come down from Washington after a year year and a

1178
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: half he was there, and he was somebody who had

1179
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: to worry about. But on the whole, this was not

1180
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: a strong Buccaneers team. Texans went in and blasted them,

1181
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: and my main memory of that day is a lot

1182
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: of open space for Arian Foster had a good game

1183
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: in that one. But after the game and then the

1184
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: years that have passed, asked that will be remembered as

1185
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 1: the game in which the Texans lost match Shop. The

1186
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: very very end, his foot was like I guess, I

1187
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 1: don't know what happened to it, got crunched in a pile,

1188
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: had a Liz franc injury, Liz franc injury, and the

1189
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: next day we didn't realize it until the very next

1190
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: day when Gary Kubiak came into the Monday afternoon press

1191
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: conference round two thirty and said, well, we're gonna be

1192
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: without Shop the rest of the way because of his

1193
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 1: this Liz Franc injury. So it's on a Matt lion art. Yeah,

1194
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: Matt Linhart. I don't know why I said a lion

1195
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 1: art lion heart because he had a lion heart. Yeah

1196
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 1: he did. He hit a lion heart and a bulky

1197
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: shoulder because that that shoulder, that collar bone and I

1198
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: can't remember what it was, a collarbone or whatever, but

1199
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: he got crunched about a quarter and a half in

1200
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: at Jacksonville two weeks later, and in came t J.

1201
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: Yates and we all remember what happened. But I just

1202
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: remember open Field and Arian Foster having a big afternoon

1203
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay. And it was a fun, fun trip

1204
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: because I didn't know what nobody really knew what had

1205
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 1: happened to Shop, and we left Tampa Bay with a win.

1206
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: It's always sweet when you leave a win, but it's

1207
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: even sweeter when it's a road win before a bye week. Yeah,

1208
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: we've we've experienced that this year with the Texans and London.

1209
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: It's just sweet knowing that you got two weeks to

1210
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: relish a win during the bye Yeah, that one. I

1211
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: remember the announcement, and you know, it's one of those

1212
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: things where when you're in the building or you're you know,

1213
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 1: on the plane, you know, travel with the team, you know,

1214
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 1: sometimes you see things that you know, you see these

1215
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: other people who don't see. Yeah, And I remember I

1216
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,480
Speaker 1: can't remember somebody saying that when they got on the

1217
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: plane and they saw Shop, they were like, oh no,

1218
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: so they knew. I didn't know until it got tweeted

1219
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 1: out that day, I was doing my radio show and

1220
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 1: I see that tweeted out, and I'm like, huh, well,

1221
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 1: wait a second shops out. Like I was furious because

1222
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: I felt like this team could do it. Man this

1223
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 1: tall and starting to roll. They looked really good in

1224
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: that Tampa Bay game. They were hitting deep balls. They

1225
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 1: just they guys were wide open four. It was their

1226
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 1: fourth straight win. Yeah, and they go on to be Jacksonville.

1227
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: They're going to beat Atlanta, They're going to beat the Bengals, right,

1228
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 1: and it was a team that was kind of catching

1229
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 1: fire and all of a sudden, like I was, I

1230
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: was pretty excited about Matt Leiner, Like I want to

1231
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: see Mack get a chance, and he got not even

1232
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: a half before he gets injured. And then it's like, well,

1233
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 1: all right, see what you got. And then DJ Yates

1234
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 1: became a legend. I mean he really did. He became

1235
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: a freaking legend winning that Jags game, the game back

1236
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 1: here against Atlanta would uh, which you know, I believe

1237
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: he's from that area, and then beating Atlanta and then

1238
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: going to Cincinnati and obviously what we remember about that game,

1239
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that game will live, you know, forever. Led

1240
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: for two seconds two seconds, the two seconds, you know,

1241
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: to see what he did. And then of course you

1242
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 1: know he comes back in fifteen and won that game

1243
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 1: at Sit Snatti and help get this team to the playoffs.

1244
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 1: I remember, and beating Darrell Reeves. But you know, it

1245
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 1: all stemmed back to that trip to Tampa in twenty

1246
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 1: eleven when Texas got that win there. So this will

1247
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 1: be I've got three stadiums left through Yeah, see Tampa, Chicago,

1248
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: and Detroit. That's it, and that's that's next year. But

1249
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 1: I I've been to I went to the Old Sombrero.

1250
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 1: I saw Wisconsin. My buddy was playing Wisconsin. My parents

1251
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 1: had come to Florida. We went to see Wisconsin played

1252
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 1: Duke in the nineteen ninety four. At the time, it

1253
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: was called the Hall of Fame game. Yeah, I remember

1254
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 1: that one. And so it was on New Year's Day.

1255
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 1: So we went the second early New Year's Day game.

1256
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And my buddy had picked six early into

1257
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: the game and then like two or three plays later

1258
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 1: he got hit, had a hit pointer missrest the game.

1259
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: So but he got that pick six earlier. Wisconsin ended

1260
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 1: up winning. It was it was a fun team to watch,

1261
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 1: but I was at the old sambrero. I've not been

1262
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 1: the Raymond James, and I'm looking forward to it. However,

1263
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: seventy percent chance of ran I saw that warm. It

1264
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 1: won't be cold rain, kind of warm lukewarm rain. Make

1265
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 1: sure you try the bananas foster up in the press

1266
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: box beforehand. If they have that, oh that's a big deal.

1267
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's wrap this up by getting into our

1268
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 1: what terrifies you but not really terrifies you, but terrifies

1269
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 1: you about the Bucks. I mean, you're not terrified of

1270
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: any team, but there are terrifying things about teams. Right,

1271
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, and it's um. Everyone's talked about

1272
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston and the big yardage he's had last few

1273
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: games on the season. This is an explosive offense. Eighty

1274
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: one explosive plays. And by this definition that I saw,

1275
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 1: there are many kinds. There's a few different definitions of

1276
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 1: explosive plays, but this one is a rush of fifteen

1277
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: yards or more at a pass of twenty yards or more.

1278
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes people do it a rush of ten or more

1279
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 1: and a pass of twenty five. But this is fifteen

1280
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 1: yard rush twenty yard pass. They've got eighty one of those.

1281
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 1: Mind that's second in the NFL. I know we've got

1282
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:05,640
Speaker 1: to be close. I know Kansas City's up there. We're

1283
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 1: if we're close, we're not in like the top seven range.

1284
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 1: So you know what terrifies me. John Shaquille Barrett sixteen

1285
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 1: and a half sacks, double digit tackles for loss. He's

1286
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: having a JJ Watt like season. Different player, obviously, but

1287
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 1: this guy is racking up the numbers like an a

1288
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 1: vintage JJ Watt way like last year, like twenty and

1289
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: twelve through twenty fifteen. He is scary. He's a game wrecker.

1290
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: What that does not just when he gets the sacks,

1291
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 1: gets a tackle for loss, He's gonna get some pressure.

1292
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 1: So Deshawn's gotta be careful. Deshawn's gotta be able to

1293
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: make sure he's clean with the football. Texans on the

1294
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: whole need to be clean with the football. But watch

1295
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: out for Shack Barrett. Yeah, and people say, whoa who

1296
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 1: Shack Barrett. He was essentially a backup to Von Miller

1297
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 1: and Bradley Chubb and Denver. Not amazing. He was just kind,

1298
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 1: but whenever you watched him, you realized this guy can

1299
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 1: rush quarterback. He was kind of like Denver's version of

1300
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: Jake Martin. Like you watch him and go that dude

1301
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 1: can rush a quarterback. I know that. I know that

1302
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 1: for sure, that dude's got some juice. And I remember

1303
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: facing him preseason and there will be times where like

1304
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 1: man forty eight is killing us, killing us, shack Barrett

1305
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 1: and then he ends up going to Tampa Bay. You

1306
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:17,959
Speaker 1: know what he is? Kind of he's like a poor

1307
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: man's version of what James Harden was in Oklahoma City. Yeah,

1308
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,439
Speaker 1: Harden was. Harden was obscured by Westbrook and Durant went

1309
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 1: somewhere else and he was the man. Now he's not

1310
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:29,760
Speaker 1: that I'm not saying he's but it's he's like a

1311
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 1: poor man's versions. So now that he's not in those

1312
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 1: guys shadow, he's not blocked by those two. He's getting

1313
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 1: the PT and he's picking up the results well. And

1314
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 1: here's the other thing too, is with Vida Va and

1315
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 1: Dom can sue on the inside. If you want to

1316
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 1: step up in the pocket, that's hard. You know, if

1317
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 1: Barrett rush is high, well, okay you step underneath that

1318
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: and get out. Well, you don't have a lot of

1319
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: room to grow, because a lot of room to go

1320
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 1: because Veya and Sue are gonna be pushing that thing,

1321
01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:00,040
Speaker 1: so it allows Barrett to kind of just pin his

1322
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:02,320
Speaker 1: years back and go and just use his speed. So

1323
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: you gotta cow from that. If you rushes from the

1324
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: right side, he'll be going against Larmy Tunsel, So that'd

1325
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: be a matchup really to watch if he goes from

1326
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: the other side, you know, whether it's Chris Clark or

1327
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 1: Rod Johnson, they gotta they've gotta be ready for that speed. Yeah,

1328
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: they really gotta be ready for that speed, and then

1329
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: get some help if they decide to go back to

1330
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: the inside ships whatever the case might be. But that

1331
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 1: is going to be a big key is blocking that

1332
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: guy after the age Shack Barrett. So what terrifies you,

1333
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 1: but done terrify you, but terrifies her. You know, I

1334
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: think it's just Jamis Winston's inconsistency, because Jamis can look

1335
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:39,440
Speaker 1: bad for a stretch and then all of a sudden

1336
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 1: he can go to the sidelines to get a drink

1337
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 1: and gatorade, come back out and then look like good Jamis,

1338
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 1: And it's like you don't know which one you're gonna get,

1339
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: And I'm sure it's maddening for Bruce Arians and the Bucks.

1340
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean the first drive against the Lions, they get

1341
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: a first down and then he throws a pass that

1342
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: has no chance to get it, that no chance to

1343
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 1: be complete. Galanti Tivy picks it off for the Lions.

1344
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 1: Where you go, what does he do over the rest

1345
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 1: of the quarter. He throws for one hundred and ninety

1346
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: one yards in the quarter and two touchdowns. So it

1347
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: was like he went from bat Jamis to good Jamis

1348
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 1: like in the matter of an interception, like what happened?

1349
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: Like what happened? And that that to me is scary.

1350
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 1: That's very scary. And I was people said about the

1351
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:20,759
Speaker 1: Texans like, oh, we're inconsistent with this with like, yeah,

1352
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,799
Speaker 1: we have, we have periods of that. For sure. Jamis

1353
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: will do it all in the same play. He'll do

1354
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 1: it all the same drive, he'll do it all in

1355
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: the same quarter, He'll do it all in the same game.

1356
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 1: And so that's what's dangerous to me about them. He

1357
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 1: was described back in nineteen ninety four in a Great

1358
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,679
Speaker 1: Motion picture He's lock a box of chocolates. You never

1359
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 1: know what's going again. No player epitomizes that more than

1360
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston. He is equal parts scary as all get

1361
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: out and sort of well, you kind of wait for

1362
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 1: him to give you something, and hopefully there's more of that.

1363
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 1: Maybe he's more into giving mood because it's a holiday season.

1364
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 1: On Saturday, we'll find out, all right, We back sent

1365
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 1: for our men behind the mic series. This one's fun.

1366
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 1: I've been looking forward to this one all season long.

1367
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: Gene decker Off is the voice the Bucks. He's also

1368
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:11,439
Speaker 1: the voice the Seminals, and he has been the voice

1369
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: of the Seminals for a long time, such that when

1370
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: the Seminals of the Knes were playing tremendous games in

1371
01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 1: late nineties and early two thousands and Mark Vanomy was

1372
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 1: the voice the Canes, Gene and Mark would call those

1373
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 1: games and they were fantastic stuff back then. They will

1374
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 1: meet again on Saturday, and they will talk next right

1375
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 1: here on Texans Access. Let's not waste any time you

1376
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 1: get to the two men that will make the call

1377
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:35,879
Speaker 1: on Saturday, Mark Vanomy of the voice of the Texans,

1378
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 1: with Gene decker Off, the voice of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mark,

1379
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: give me a little gauge here of how you're looking

1380
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 1: forward to this one with the Buccaneers roaring with a

1381
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 1: four game winning streak. The four game win streaks go

1382
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 1: back to twenty sixteen, and we had a nice streak

1383
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 1: of five in a row with won six of our

1384
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: last eight. Still missed the playoffs, finishing nine and seven,

1385
01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:58,120
Speaker 1: but then the following year we dropped back to five

1386
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 1: at eleven and five at eleven. Coaching change and all

1387
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden, after starting off very poorly, losing some

1388
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 1: games perhaps early of the season that we would win.

1389
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:13,680
Speaker 1: Right now, we've got this little mini street going, and uh,

1390
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: I think the fan base of the Buccaneers in Tampa

1391
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:17,479
Speaker 1: is very fired up. We'll find out now, you know,

1392
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 1: Christmas probody, we're shopping and all that. Notwithstanding, don't know

1393
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 1: what the crowd is going to be like in Raymond

1394
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 1: James Stadium, but I would think that a lot of

1395
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: Buccaneer fans that have been you know, questioning this team,

1396
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 1: questioning the new coaching staff, questioning team as Winston, I'm

1397
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 1: probably coming around and saying, you know, let's go out

1398
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 1: there and check out the Buccaneers on a Saturday afternoon

1399
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: and then we'll do our shopping on Sunday. I think

1400
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: we'll have a good crowd, you know, Martin, I know

1401
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:44,639
Speaker 1: at Houston when the when the Texans play a football game,

1402
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be ninety five percent Houston Texans fans. The

1403
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: last three four, maybe five home Buccaneers games, there's been

1404
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 1: almost as many opposing team fans as that have been

1405
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 1: Buccaneer fans. Kind of get that change around it. Maybe

1406
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 1: a win streak will help. Well, that's also part of

1407
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,760
Speaker 1: living in Florida where a lot of people like to visit.

1408
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Of course, Gene Deckerhoff, voice of the Buccaneers, joining us.

1409
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: What is different about the team now as opposed to

1410
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 1: earlier and what is different about Jamis Winston now as

1411
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 1: you see him on this tear, they're playing with more

1412
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 1: confidence than than than they played with maybe early on.

1413
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 1: When you have a coaching change, it's tough. I mean

1414
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,560
Speaker 1: you've got new schemes, you've got new new vocabulary. I

1415
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:22,839
Speaker 1: mean all the stuff you read about to hear about you.

1416
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 1: You've been in the business long enough, that's all this

1417
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 1: this new this, do that new this, you know, and

1418
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 1: you've got to absorb that. You got to figure out

1419
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 1: a way to win. And that's where that culture word

1420
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: comes in. You hear the culture work more at the

1421
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: college level than you do at the NFL level. But

1422
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 1: Bruce arians said that we kind of change the culture.

1423
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 1: We got to learn how to win football games, and

1424
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 1: winning begets wins, and begets wins, and it's so true.

1425
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:49,760
Speaker 1: And then rookie cornerbacks and rookie defensive backs have come

1426
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: of age. Now. You know, when they were in college

1427
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 1: a year ago, they played a twelve games schedule, maybe

1428
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 1: of both thirteen games. So you get to that week ten,

1429
01:11:57,160 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 1: week eleven, week twelve, and these guys are no longer rookies,

1430
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 1: no longer freshman. Okay in the college, but no longer rookies.

1431
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 1: And the secondary has picked up its pace. I mean,

1432
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:08,760
Speaker 1: we give up some big plays. I mean Gallia Gainst

1433
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 1: the last two home games, we've given up a long

1434
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 1: bomb and there's not been a signal, safety or quarter

1435
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 1: near the guy that made the catch. So they're still

1436
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 1: learning how to play football. But importantly, they're communicating better.

1437
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 1: Boost Areas in his press conference after the win in Detroit,

1438
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 1: said that the secondary communicated better in that ball game

1439
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 1: than they had any ball game previous, and he likes

1440
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 1: the way that that young secondary is coming along. I'll

1441
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:34,479
Speaker 1: tell you another thing. And I was thinking about this

1442
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 1: today and I haven't read about this, but Mark, we

1443
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:40,839
Speaker 1: started off sort of sluggish, get halfway through the season,

1444
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, our best pass rusher of

1445
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 1: a year ago. Jason Pierre Paul comes off the injury list,

1446
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 1: the non football injury list. He was involved in the

1447
01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:55,200
Speaker 1: car incident, had a broken boning in his neck. Declined surgery.

1448
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: That doctor said you might need surgery, maybe you'd get by.

1449
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:01,240
Speaker 1: He rehabbed, he comes back. In fact, the very first

1450
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:04,360
Speaker 1: play that he took a snap, he recorded a quarterback sack.

1451
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 1: And maybe that has been a big help and the

1452
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 1: reason why the Bucketeers have had success over the last

1453
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 1: four or five. We played good football. The only team

1454
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 1: that has really blown out the Bucceteers of the New

1455
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. Now you look at the scores and they

1456
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 1: say the game in New Orleans, they won by seven,

1457
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:22,600
Speaker 1: but the Bucketeers scored a touchdown very late in that

1458
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 1: ball game. It was really a two score or two

1459
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 1: touchdown went by New Orleans. And they came to our place,

1460
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 1: same thing, two touchdown win over the Bucketeers. But hey,

1461
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:32,679
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints, maybe is good A football team

1462
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 1: as there is in the National Football League this year.

1463
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 1: So the only two games that the Bucks have really

1464
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 1: been beaten by more than a one possession game is

1465
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 1: those two games against the New Orleans State My language

1466
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: is rough. There are the two games against the New

1467
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. So the Bucks have hung around, hung around,

1468
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 1: and now they're winning football games and playable confidence. Jams

1469
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 1: is a much more confident quarterback now than he was

1470
01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 1: AT's say week two, Week three, or good Guy in

1471
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,400
Speaker 1: a trip to where he threw five of deceptions. Good Gully.

1472
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 1: Gene Deckerhoff, voice of the Buccaneers, joining us now, Jean,

1473
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:08,680
Speaker 1: they're going things are going well a lot better now

1474
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 1: for the Buccaneers. Take me back to the Gruden era

1475
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 1: for a moment, because we see him in Oakland now

1476
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:16,439
Speaker 1: and he was in Oakland before he was with Tampa

1477
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:18,599
Speaker 1: Bay and he won the Super Bowl. How do fans

1478
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 1: in Tampa feel about Gruden? What's the relationship like, because

1479
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 1: I know you've seen him around with the broadcasting industry

1480
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 1: and then back with the NFL as a head coach

1481
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:30,679
Speaker 1: of the Raiders. Yeah, I'll say this when John Bruden

1482
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 1: is amazing. How the network schedule these things but John

1483
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: was in trine to the Tampa Bay Buccaneer Ring of Honor,

1484
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 1: and ESPN scheduled a Monday night game where he could

1485
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 1: come back and be a t to the Ring of Honor,

1486
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:46,640
Speaker 1: huge rowers, the sound of the the Tampa luck Hey the

1487
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 1: only Super Bowl Championship trophy but with Bartie Trophy. The

1488
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: bucket of his hand in one bucket ear place was

1489
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 1: a result of John Bruden's first year as a coach

1490
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 1: in two thousand and two. The pound of the rock.

1491
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:00,760
Speaker 1: That was the pound of rock. I mean, I'll never

1492
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:03,639
Speaker 1: forget a big count of that rock. Uh. They carried

1493
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 1: a big old mark. They carried a big old rocking

1494
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 1: with them everywhere they went on the road, and they

1495
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 1: had it in the locking room before they knew how

1496
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 1: somebody would pound on that dead guy. I didn't see it,

1497
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 1: but I mean I saw on a video. But that

1498
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 1: that was the bond. You know. The Bucks played with

1499
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,120
Speaker 1: decent football. After we run the Super Bowl, they did

1500
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:23,639
Speaker 1: the one more playoff game and all of a sudden

1501
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 1: we did a nose dive. The final year that John

1502
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 1: was our head coach, and I forget the year where

1503
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:30,679
Speaker 1: I want to stay. It was like two thousand and seven,

1504
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 1: two thousand day, somewhere in that range. But we had

1505
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 1: a chance. We need one more win, and we went

1506
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:39,639
Speaker 1: over four in December and we missed the playoffs, and

1507
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 1: that was the beginning of the end for our jo.

1508
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 1: I didn't John last did one more year. And then

1509
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:46,479
Speaker 1: after the season ended, I got a phone called Mark. Right,

1510
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: we're talking on this on the tell them. I get

1511
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 1: a phone call to about six fifteen. By time I

1512
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:52,600
Speaker 1: think I was cooking some with then the kitchen and

1513
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 1: uh the last Hey, J can we get you off

1514
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:56,760
Speaker 1: for a few minutes talking about the firing to John

1515
01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: Rudes and why what are we talking about? And so

1516
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 1: about I said, I can't talk about it because I

1517
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:05,400
Speaker 1: don't know an interofficial And about thirty minutes later, the

1518
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:09,760
Speaker 1: Bucketeers released the press release that John Bruten had been

1519
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:13,639
Speaker 1: relieved with his duties and Raheen Morris had been elevated

1520
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 1: to head coach. And that's all of a sudden, the

1521
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 1: coaching carousel began. Roteem lasted two years, and then Greg

1522
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 1: Sianna lasted two years, Letting Me Smith lasted two years,

1523
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 1: their cutter lasted three and now head coach Bruce Arean

1524
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:29,080
Speaker 1: So since John Gruden has been So to answer your question,

1525
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 1: that's a lot of words. But I think the city

1526
01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 1: of Tampa, the entire Tampa Bay area appreciate what John

1527
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 1: Gruden was able to do and they will always cheer him.

1528
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,120
Speaker 1: Now when we play them in Las Vegas next year,

1529
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:43,080
Speaker 1: Bluckaneer fans of Mirkleby, he blew with him. But that's

1530
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:45,200
Speaker 1: my ass far as i'm to sir John Gruden. I

1531
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 1: learned a lot of football from John Drude. He was

1532
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:50,720
Speaker 1: always available to talk about football, talk about XS and o's.

1533
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:53,479
Speaker 1: If you wanted to listen, he'd tell you. And so

1534
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:55,599
Speaker 1: I kept my head to John Drew and Jay Ruten.

1535
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:57,679
Speaker 1: I did Jay Gruden game when he was a quarterback

1536
01:16:57,680 --> 01:16:59,719
Speaker 1: in the Arena Football game. I did their more television.

1537
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm knowing the Bruton family forever. In fact, with John

1538
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 1: Bruton was hired to work yes beginning, called me and said, gee,

1539
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 1: we need to get together have lunch. I gotta learned

1540
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: what I gotta do on the broadcast. Both these broadcasts,

1541
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,000
Speaker 1: I said, coach, just be yourself. You're gonna be a

1542
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna be a hit. He was, and I was

1543
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 1: shocked when he got into broadcasting. He could have that

1544
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:20,679
Speaker 1: job for life. Gee, he could have that Las Vegas

1545
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 1: job for life too. I don't know that's what the

1546
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 1: contract said. Yeah, that's that's what it says. It's a

1547
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:26,800
Speaker 1: lot of money too, Gee, Deckerhof joining his voice of

1548
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers and Florida State and Florida Sports Hall of

1549
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 1: Fame member. Now, Gene, take me to your life as

1550
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 1: a college announcer and an NFL announcer. And I know

1551
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 1: you get asked this a lot, but you've always been

1552
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 1: able to do both games on a given weekend. Is

1553
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 1: it urban legend that you've taken the owner's plane from

1554
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:47,600
Speaker 1: time to time like back in the day, or is

1555
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 1: that a men? No? No, no, Hey, Mark, that's West

1556
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 1: Durham Atlanta Falcons. He smote on mister Blank's playing. I thought,

1557
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 1: I don't even know if if the Glazier family also played,

1558
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:58,639
Speaker 1: but has at least of a play. To be honest

1559
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:02,040
Speaker 1: with you, they probably But hey, before I answer that question,

1560
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 1: let me go back to John Drew when he began

1561
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 1: his career with ESP and I watched every game, you know,

1562
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:09,679
Speaker 1: and I thought I made a little note that I

1563
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:11,600
Speaker 1: texted him to him if one time he used to

1564
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:13,479
Speaker 1: call there was a big hit down on the field.

1565
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:15,439
Speaker 1: You know, I forget which game it was, and Coach

1566
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:17,840
Speaker 1: Gruden says, point I was an ac DC hit and

1567
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 1: I thought I wrote that down halftime. I texted him.

1568
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: I says, you're doing a great job. Tell me about

1569
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 1: this ac DC hit. And he texted back, Now this

1570
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 1: is halftime. He texted me back. He says that mentor

1571
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:30,519
Speaker 1: was a loud hit teene. And I said, can I

1572
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:32,200
Speaker 1: use that in the broadcast? He says, only if you

1573
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 1: can let me use fire him cannons? But have you

1574
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: ever used have you ever used market your broadcast at

1575
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:40,280
Speaker 1: a DC hit? No? You know, I say rock and

1576
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 1: roll sometimes, and I won't say fire the cannons because

1577
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:46,719
Speaker 1: that's good for the Buccaneers. You don't have any cannons.

1578
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:49,759
Speaker 1: You don't have any canons in the dome used. Okay,

1579
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: I understand. Now back to the question Sleepless said in Tallahassee,

1580
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:55,640
Speaker 1: that's basically the name of the game. Because you know

1581
01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 1: I live, it's four and a half hours from Tallahassee.

1582
01:18:57,960 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: When you might not know this, but it's four and

1583
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:02,639
Speaker 1: a half hour is my home to Raymond James Stadium

1584
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:05,560
Speaker 1: and my wife and I leave every Sunday morning for

1585
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:08,680
Speaker 1: home games at six oh five and arrive at ten

1586
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 1: thirty five and begin to broadcast at noon. And after

1587
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 1: the game we stay in Tampa and then return home

1588
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:19,760
Speaker 1: on on Monday mornings. But I have a talk show

1589
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: to do on Monday nights with the college football coach

1590
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: of Tallassee. So you can't just sort of lollygag that

1591
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 1: back and stop. The senior key can have lunch or

1592
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 1: Crystal River and have some good seat. Fucci, you got

1593
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:32,559
Speaker 1: a b line back to Tallassee. It gets your preparation

1594
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: underway to at least sound like you know what you're

1595
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 1: talking about on the talk show. But away games the

1596
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 1: same thing. There's a fight that leaves a six fifteen

1597
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 1: am Tallahassee time, and generally you may have to run

1598
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 1: through the Atlanta airport that you make your connection and

1599
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 1: get to the site where you're playing. This year, and

1600
01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 1: this was one of the more difficult seasons because we

1601
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:57,840
Speaker 1: played the NFC West and Mark, I'm so glad that

1602
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,640
Speaker 1: I broadcast in the Eastern times, the east of the

1603
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 1: Mississippi River, and I thought, my thoughts and prayers go

1604
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: out to our colleagues that have to broadcast from the

1605
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 1: NFC of the AFC and West because they're going to

1606
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:12,520
Speaker 1: the East Boreland. They're flying to the West. Okay. And

1607
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 1: but anyway, the Seattle game, Florida State plays by him.

1608
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:17,840
Speaker 1: He thank god, it's a twelve new game. So maybe

1609
01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:19,880
Speaker 1: I'll get about three hours rest before I gotta get

1610
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 1: on a plane. And I get back from the game,

1611
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:24,719
Speaker 1: and I'm going over some notes, I'm reading some stuff

1612
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 1: on my phone. All of a sudden, American Airlines says, hey,

1613
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:29,720
Speaker 1: your flight's been changed from Tallahassee. No longers are gonna

1614
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 1: leave at five five ten in the morning. It's gonna

1615
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 1: leave at seven seventeen. I'll miss my connection in Charlotte

1616
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 1: the first time, the only time this year. I've booked

1617
01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:40,760
Speaker 1: America because it was the only way to get to

1618
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 1: Seattle before kickoff. And so I get this note. I

1619
01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 1: called my broadcast manager, who's having dinner in Seattle. I said,

1620
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: my players, guy, I can't make it to the trip.

1621
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:51,240
Speaker 1: He said, hold on, let me see what I canna do.

1622
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 1: As a backup, he had an Alaska Airlines flight that

1623
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:57,799
Speaker 1: was leaving Atlanta, Georgia at six thirty in the morning.

1624
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:02,080
Speaker 1: Would arrive in Seattle at ten fifteen, give or take

1625
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:04,120
Speaker 1: a few minutes, and he says, let me see if

1626
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 1: I could book that. He booked it now getting meat

1627
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 1: from here to Atlanta. Number one had worked all day,

1628
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 1: so I'm not ready to drive. I got nobody in

1629
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 1: the family, though I had one son that went to

1630
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:16,960
Speaker 1: the football game ataliated all day. He's not ready. My

1631
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 1: youngest son worked with me in the broadcast. He's not

1632
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:21,960
Speaker 1: going to drive me five hours to Atlanta. So in

1633
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:24,559
Speaker 1: the Lemo services were all booked because it was FSU

1634
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:28,000
Speaker 1: Miami weekend, and so I looked at my phone. I

1635
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:30,960
Speaker 1: got an Uber accountant. I dialed up Uber and one

1636
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:32,800
Speaker 1: driver said yeah, I can do it, and then all

1637
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:34,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden that driver reneagued and said no, I

1638
01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 1: can't do that, and I called another. The driver said yes,

1639
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:41,519
Speaker 1: I can do it. And so thirty five minutes later,

1640
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm in an Uber car driving to Atlanta. And four

1641
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,559
Speaker 1: hours later, I'm at an empty Atlanta airport at four

1642
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:48,720
Speaker 1: fifteen in the morning, waiting for that six thirty fight

1643
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 1: to Seattle. Did the broadcast, and then took the Red

1644
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,920
Speaker 1: Eye back to Tamahassee so I could do a talk show.

1645
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 1: But that was the toughest one of this year and

1646
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:58,000
Speaker 1: one of the toughest ones in the thirty one years

1647
01:21:58,040 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 1: I've been doing this. That's just incredible stuff. Gene Deckerhoff,

1648
01:22:01,479 --> 01:22:04,559
Speaker 1: legendary voice of the Buccaneers and the Florida State Seminals. So,

1649
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:06,760
Speaker 1: Florida State is in the Sun Bowl. You told me,

1650
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:10,600
Speaker 1: And you haven't played the Sun Bowl? Okay, yeah, I

1651
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,439
Speaker 1: gotta get the sponsor right. And the Seminals have not

1652
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 1: played in al Paso since what Burt Reynolds was in

1653
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 1: the program something like that, No Burt played. In fact,

1654
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:23,800
Speaker 1: the first bowl game that Florida State went to outside

1655
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 1: the state of Florida was a Sun Bowl that Burt

1656
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:28,599
Speaker 1: Reynolds was on that team. They did not play very well.

1657
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,840
Speaker 1: They got beaten. That one of them later Larry Jones

1658
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 1: from the head coach in the early seventies, and that

1659
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:36,799
Speaker 1: team went out and got beat in the Sun Bowl,

1660
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 1: and it must have had an effect on the Oles.

1661
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 1: The next year we went all at eleven and Larry

1662
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:43,479
Speaker 1: was let go and the new coaching staff was brought

1663
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:45,799
Speaker 1: in the Darryl Mooder game in that after the nineteen

1664
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 1: seventy four and so the Sun Bowl has been we're

1665
01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:51,080
Speaker 1: all in two in the Sun Bowl. Maybe we Nacha

1666
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 1: went over Arizona State. Herm Edwards the head coach, and

1667
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 1: Berm was on Tony Dungee staff at Tampa Bay. And

1668
01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:58,519
Speaker 1: obviously we know him as head coach in the National

1669
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:00,280
Speaker 1: Football League one, two or three. I know the yet

1670
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 1: I think was the trade. He's been a head coach

1671
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 1: of the league and now he's in the college game

1672
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: and he looked at this Bowl game, Mark. I mean,

1673
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:10,599
Speaker 1: I've still got a lot of research that I'm getting.

1674
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm working on Keepston Tampa Bay right now. Had a

1675
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 1: basketball game last night, and so I'm this that time

1676
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 1: of the year. But Herb's got three freshman quarterbacks on

1677
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: his roster, and the starting quarterbacks are true freshman. The

1678
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:27,040
Speaker 1: backup quarter of the Renshard freshman, the thirteen quarterback is

1679
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 1: a freshman. Yet he's been able to go seven and

1680
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:32,160
Speaker 1: seven and five four and five in the Pac twelve

1681
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:35,519
Speaker 1: and get a bull bid. And on his resume, they

1682
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:39,479
Speaker 1: knocked off sixth rate Oregon late in the season to

1683
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 1: ambush Oregon at home at Death Valley. So, uh, Sun

1684
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:48,639
Speaker 1: Devil Stadium, I get not Death Sun Devil stadium, so

1685
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 1: it's going to be an interested bowl game. Florida State

1686
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 1: now may not have I know, Cam Akers, who is

1687
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:59,040
Speaker 1: going to be a pro prospect, probably probably second third round.

1688
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:01,840
Speaker 1: He had a better office line, might be a late

1689
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 1: first round. But all I know is he rushed for

1690
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: moore yards with the freshman than Dalvin Cook did. And

1691
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:09,599
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook's having a pretty good NFL career. But Anyby

1692
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:11,720
Speaker 1: Camp's not going to play in the bowl game. A

1693
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:14,800
Speaker 1: couple of other players aren't. And the second team running

1694
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 1: back was suspended for the Florida game. He's not practicing

1695
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:19,920
Speaker 1: during pre bowl practice. So that's Klin Labour and I

1696
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:21,880
Speaker 1: don't know if he's going to be what his data

1697
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:24,120
Speaker 1: this is. I'll find out from the coach tomorrow, but

1698
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:26,559
Speaker 1: so we may not have a running back. You may

1699
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 1: see about fifty five passes if you watch that game

1700
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 1: on CBS TV. Gene Our listeners know that I go

1701
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 1: back to the University of Miami and you and I

1702
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 1: were part of some big games, you doing the knowles

1703
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:40,000
Speaker 1: and me broadcasting the Hurricanes games. And let me ask

1704
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 1: you this, your thoughts on that era because Florida State

1705
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 1: was so dominant for so long, so many top five finishes.

1706
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 1: And also, let me throw this in there as well,

1707
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:51,760
Speaker 1: will the Hurricanes. If the Florida State Seminals can win

1708
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:54,160
Speaker 1: a national championship again like they did with James Winston,

1709
01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 1: can the Hurricanes do it as well? Or is it

1710
01:24:57,240 --> 01:24:59,519
Speaker 1: just too tough right now to get back to that

1711
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 1: level for them? Your thoughts, Well, you know, here's here's

1712
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:07,839
Speaker 1: something that's going on. Howard Snellenberger put together a program

1713
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 1: down there, and you put that brick wall around you know, Uh,

1714
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 1: Broward County in Dade County. If we want a player

1715
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 1: in this area, we're keeping that kid here. And Jimmy

1716
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:20,120
Speaker 1: Johnson did the same thing, and then Dennis Ericson did

1717
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 1: the same thing. And then all of a sudden they

1718
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 1: started going through coaches. And they've been going through coaches

1719
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:28,599
Speaker 1: a lot longer than Florida State and and that's caused

1720
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 1: them some problems. U. Manny Diaz is the coach down

1721
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 1: and out. But you know he he had a couple

1722
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:36,400
Speaker 1: of bad losses of this seay going to a bowl,

1723
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:39,640
Speaker 1: but Miami faithful a very you know this for him.

1724
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:42,759
Speaker 1: You broadcasted games. Uh, they want you to win. Everything

1725
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:44,880
Speaker 1: From when Mark Britton was the head coach of the

1726
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 1: Miami and I know Mark personally. He's one of the

1727
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 1: one of the greatest cup I've been around. He's a

1728
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:52,640
Speaker 1: body by about disciple. He worked at Florida State and

1729
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:55,000
Speaker 1: success at Georgia, you know, but when he gets the

1730
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 1: job at Miami, Warren Sapp of Miami Hurricane through and through.

1731
01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 1: I see him at Bucketeer PRAC just preseason practice and

1732
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:04,960
Speaker 1: we're talking mining he always does Miami Florida State, and

1733
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,360
Speaker 1: I said, you've got a good at and I won't

1734
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 1: use his language, but he said, what's he ever done?

1735
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:12,360
Speaker 1: I said, well, he wanted to be won three sec

1736
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:15,559
Speaker 1: two three sec championship and what's that mean? What's that mean?

1737
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:18,439
Speaker 1: What's he done? That's Warren Sapp. Okay, if you don't

1738
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:22,000
Speaker 1: win national championships, they want somebody else. So I don't

1739
01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:23,600
Speaker 1: know if you're ever going to change that culture. I

1740
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 1: know maybe Mammy will. He's a local kid from Miami,

1741
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:29,120
Speaker 1: so maybe he'll change it. But same thing at Florida.

1742
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:32,599
Speaker 1: You know, Herbert Bayer won two championships and everybody thinks

1743
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 1: for the next coach is gonna win a championship. They

1744
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 1: got a good coach at Dan Bullon. He's beaten Florida

1745
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:39,240
Speaker 1: State twice after we had a nice little run of

1746
01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:44,759
Speaker 1: five straight over the Florida Gators. But but Florida State's field.

1747
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,439
Speaker 1: And at the same situation, you had Bobby Bowden for

1748
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:50,599
Speaker 1: thirty four years. You had Bobby for thirty four years,

1749
01:26:50,600 --> 01:26:53,960
Speaker 1: he won two national championships, and you mentioned Miami Florida State. Hey,

1750
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:55,559
Speaker 1: if we don't go why right? Two years at are

1751
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 1: old and White left a year and then White short

1752
01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:01,760
Speaker 1: one year. Bobby may have won six national championship against Miami. Okay,

1753
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 1: but Jim Bill comes in and in year three he

1754
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:07,680
Speaker 1: wins a national championship and he takes a job. He

1755
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 1: takes a job at Texas A and m A. Florida

1756
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:12,200
Speaker 1: State goes out and bringing Willie Taggert the Tagger Air

1757
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 1: last season and a half. And now we got Mike Novell,

1758
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 1: who has had tremendous success at Memphis and from what

1759
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 1: I've seen here in fact we're speaking on national you know,

1760
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:26,640
Speaker 1: early signing day, good day of recruiting for the Seminals

1761
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:29,920
Speaker 1: despite the coaching change, and he's a humanly They have

1762
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:32,640
Speaker 1: pretty dad come good staff and I can't wait to

1763
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:36,719
Speaker 1: see how this staff rebuilds Florida State football. You're always

1764
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 1: thinking positive when you have a coaching change. You know

1765
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 1: the old saying the king is dead, God bless the queen,

1766
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 1: you know, God save the King or whatever. So when

1767
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:45,599
Speaker 1: a coaching change is the same thing, one coach has gone,

1768
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:47,800
Speaker 1: you got a new coach, and everybody feels like, hey,
