Speaker 1: where you are it is Blue Skies. Sun is going

25
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: down at about this time. But it's been really nice

26
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: and hot. It does not feel like October twenty third,

27
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Oh. By the way, we are two

28
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: days away from National tight Ends Day. Might be a

29
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: tight end or two not playing in this game on Sunday,

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: and I'll have to get to that in a little bit.

31
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: But we are jam packed on the show and our

32
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: next segment ta as he is known by his teammates

33
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: and coaches, Terrell Adams for our Deep Slant one on

34
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: one of the week. Can't wait to hear from Terrell Adams.

35
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: We had a blast when Mark and I interviewed him.

36
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: I think it was the offseason last year. He has

37
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: stepped into that starting linebacker role and done a really

38
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: nice job next to Zach Cuttingham. So we'll talk to

39
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: Terrell Adams in our next segment with our Deep Slant

40
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: Interview of the Week, brought to you by Exfinity. Then

41
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: our keys to the game. What are the keys to

42
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: a win over the Green Bay Packers. I've got to

43
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: do my predictions for each in every game this weekend

44
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL, with of course this caveat. I don't

45
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: know if they'll all be played, and I think you

46
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: know why. I'm not totally sure if we're gonna see

47
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: them all played. The Raiders game got moved to Sunday afternoon.

48
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: There's been talk of that game moving. We don't know

49
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: that to be fact right now, but we are just

50
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna roll with it and see what happens. That's

51
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: all you can do. I'm gonna predict them. I'm gonna

52
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: predict them. I just don't know if we'll be able

53
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: to see him. But that's that's okay. Well, at least

54
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: predicted and get it on record, and you'll just see

55
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: that I was right about my predictions. How about that?

56
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: That soundfair? All right? Cool? So we're gonna do that,

57
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna close close the show with Drew's

58
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: final word. And this week, a guy that I think

59
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: has played I don't want to say much better, but

60
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: I think it's just that he's gotten healthier and that

61
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: has helped him to play smoother, more like himself. I

62
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: think he would tell you, and that's tight as Howard.

63
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: So we've got plenty on this jam packed Friday night

64
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: edition of Texans All Access, and we will kick it

65
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: off with our hot reads, and they're brought to you

66
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: by Geico. And there's great news. There's a quick way

67
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: you could save money. Switch to Geico. Go to Geico

68
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: dot com and in fifteen minutes you could say fifteen

69
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: percent or more on car insurance. And each and every Friday,

70
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: our first hot read right out of the shoot is

71
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: a discussion with Mark Vanimir and interim head coach Romeo Crennell. Mark,

72
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: take it away, well, Coach Aaron Rodgers, You've been around

73
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks into your day, faced a lot

74
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: of really good ones. And I'm not asking to rank

75
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: where he is, but can you discuss some of the

76
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: things he does well that you guys have to really

77
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: be concerned with Dan take care of well. You know

78
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: that Aaron is a veteran, he's smart, He's seen everything.

79
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: He throws the d ball very well, he's accurate with

80
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: his throws. He will take the underneath throw, so he

81
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: takes what the defense gives him, and then when he's

82
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: ready to take his shot, he takes his shot. And

83
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: so that that's why they're able to score points because

84
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: he can hit those D balls a lot of times,

85
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: and so you have to do a good job of

86
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: defending the D ball and then be willing to understand

87
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: that if he throws it short, then your guys have

88
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: to rally to the throw and make the tackle and

89
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: it doesn't become a catch and run situation. Well, we

90
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: haven't seen them in four years since twenty sixteen. Up

91
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: their coach and how are they different in the way

92
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: they like to run the ball now with Matt Lafleur

93
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: as the head coach. Well, yeah, Matt has a little

94
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: bit different offensive philosophy. And you know they have multiple

95
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: personnels that got the stable of running backs that they use.

96
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: But all their runners are hard, physical runners. They run

97
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: really hard. And then the line. Because the runners run

98
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: so hard the line, they make sure that they get

99
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: on people and get pushed at the line of scrimmage,

100
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: which then helps the runners and the running game. What

101
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: about defensively upfront? Coach, I know you want to run

102
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: the football better, that's no secret. So how's it going

103
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: to be against this particular front with the packers. Well,

104
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: I think a lot goes on with our angles, how

105
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: we come off the ball, combination blocks and everybody being

106
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: on the same page and taking a right angle, kicking

107
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: guys out, blocking down on guys to create scenes, and

108
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: so hopefully we will be able to get that done

109
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: and gain some yards on the ground. Well, a lot

110
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: of success last week with the passing game, but I

111
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: know every week is a little bit different here. But

112
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: are you seeing the maturation in this passing attack and

113
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: the chemistry really starting to build right now as the

114
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: weeks progress with the new guys, with Randall Cobb and

115
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks and everybody else working together. Yeah, I think

116
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: it's beginning to happen, you know, because with new people,

117
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: you have to get used to each other. You have

118
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: to get to the point of where you can trust

119
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: each other. And I think that both the receivers and

120
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback they are getting to that stage where they

121
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: depend on each other, they trust each other, and as

122
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: a result, he has some production in the passing game.

123
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: With the kicking game, coach, how do you determine whether

124
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: you want to kick it to the goal line or

125
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: shorter to tempt the return or not? Are those a

126
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: game dictate situation? Is it a field thing? How do

127
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: you go about that? Well, there are several factors that

128
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: could go into that. You know, whether you're playing indoors

129
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: or playing outdoors, who their returner is, what your coverage

130
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: team can do. You know, all of those things go

131
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: into whether you want to kick to a guy or

132
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: whether you want to kick a touchback. And so each

133
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: team is different and you evaluate the team and then

134
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: determine how you want to approach the game. Coach, thanks

135
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. Best of luck against Green Bay. Hey, thanks,

136
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: appreciate it. All right, there is Romeo Crenell, your interim

137
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: head coach of the Houston Texans. Good discussion there. I

138
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: was like when Rack is on, because he'll give you

139
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: it straight up. He doesn't fluff and he just tells

140
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: you exactly how it is. And I hearing from rac

141
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: on each and every Friday. All right, let's get to

142
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: our next hot read. And this one's gonna take a

143
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: little while. And that is the status report. Each and

144
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: every Friday, we'll act. Actually, each and every day we

145
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: get the injury report. Here's who practiced Here's who was

146
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: limited in practice. Here's who did not practice. Actually they

147
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: don't tell you practice. You gotta figure that out process

148
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: of elimination. But they always give you full participation, limited participation,

149
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: and did not participate at all. Now, the Texans seemingly

150
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: about as healthy as I guess they could be at

151
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: this time of year. They've got two players that are questionable,

152
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: and I don't think either one is a surprise. Jordan

153
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,119
Speaker 1: Nakins questionable. It's been dealing with that ankle slash concussion.

154
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: They put both. I don't know which is which. He

155
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: has been at least going through the activation part, but

156
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: he has been a DNP for the rest of practice.

157
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: Peter Callumbai is the other that is questionable. He's been

158
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: dealing with hamstring that popped up a couple of weeks ago,

159
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: and so he is questionable. My gut tells me they'll

160
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: both be out for the Texans. However, full participants Dylan Cole,

161
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: Keenan Crossing, Crossing, Buddy Howe, Snel Colomette, Justin Reid, Larmy

162
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: tunsil in in in In all in, nobody ruled out

163
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: from that full participation group. Now, I said, this is

164
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: going to take a while. And that's pretty much all

165
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: I've got to say about the Houston Texans side of things.

166
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: Let's look at the Green Bay Packers side of things.

167
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: This could be interesting. Did not participate in practice on Friday,

168
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: my Trevius Adams, Tyler Lancaster, starting safety, Darnell Savage running

169
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: back to when if you've heard this before, Tyler Irvin

170
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: left tackle, Pro bowler, David Baktiari, Pro Bowl running back,

171
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, and elite cornerback. At least he was labeled

172
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: elite before he had injured. Kevin King limited participation, Chris

173
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: Barnes or Sean Garry, Marcedes Lewis, Preston Smith's, Darius Smith,

174
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: Equanimus Saint Brown, Robert Tunyon, fullticipation, j Alexander, Corey Linsley. Now,

175
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: of those that did not participate, you got a couple

176
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: that are out. Tyler Irvin. I'm not gonna say anymore.

177
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: I like Tyler. Tyler's a really good dude. I hate

178
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: that he's missing so many NFL games in his career.

179
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: Tyler Lancaster, he vents a lineman out, Irvin out, Lancaster out.

180
00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: Now there are actually three doubtful players on this status report.

181
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: David baktr is one, Kevin King is the other. Or's

182
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: a second one, sorry, Darnell Savage is a third. That's

183
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: three key starters, two of them in the secondary alone,

184
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: that are doubtful. Now, I know you're thinking about doubtful

185
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: as so many as they could play. The seven years

186
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: that I've been doing this, I have never seen a

187
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: doubtful turn into an inactive inactive player. I've never seen that.

188
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: Now it could change all three of them. You know,

189
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: the definition of doubtful might be different from out of the

190
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: the floor than it's for everybody else. But as I've

191
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 1: been reading about the Packers this week, I thought there

192
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: might be a chance for one of them to play.

193
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: I thought Bat would play, Savage and King. I was like, oh,

194
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: maybe those three are doubtful. I would not be surprised

195
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: if we found out on Saturday morning that those three

196
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: are out. Starting left tackle, starting safety, starting future Pro

197
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: Bowl corner, David Baktiari, Kevin King the corner, and Darnold

198
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: Savage the safety. They are listed as all doubtful. Aaron

199
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: Jones popped up on the injury report running back on Friday.

200
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: I don't believe he was on it. Yeah, he was

201
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: not on the injury report prior to Friday, and he

202
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: popped up with a tweak in his calf. Now, those

203
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: calf things, I've had one of those long time ago,

204
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: and it's one of those things where you can tweak it.

205
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: Twenty four hours later you can feel like you didn't

206
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: do anything to it. Do you one of those things

207
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: where you tweak it and it just gets worse and worse.

208
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: He's listed as questionable. Aaron Jones starting running back for

209
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. So you've got two other questionables

210
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: as well. I'm sorry one and the did not participate today.

211
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: Mantre Adams defensive alignment with deal with the foot. Other

212
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: questionables Preston Smith edge rusher questionable, Robert Tonyan tight end

213
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: who has become a go to guy for Aaron Rodgers, questionable.

214
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: And Corey Lindsley center was back at practice in a

215
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: full participation mode. He's questionable. I'd imagine Lindsley's gonna play.

216
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm assuming Tonyon will do whatever possible to get back

217
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: on the field and stay on the field. And Preston

218
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: Smith edge rusher, I'd imagine they want him on the

219
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: field to go against Larry Tons. Still Titus Howard and

220
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: his Texans offense. However, that group of Irvin Lancaster out.

221
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: Even though those two guys don't start, they're vital on

222
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: both sides of their ball. The doubtfuls are the ones

223
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: that catch your eye. David Batier, Kevin King, Darnell Savage

224
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: three starters, and then questionable Aaron Jones with that calf

225
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: mount Travius Adams defensive alignment on the inside. Now, that

226
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: is a massive list when you compare it to the

227
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: Texans being relatively healthy. The Packers are not. However, one

228
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: name I don't see on that list, Actually two names

229
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't see in that list, Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers.

230
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: The Packers will show up, there's no doubt. But it

231
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: is interesting to note where the Texans are health wise

232
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: and where the Packers are health wise. It's probably an

233
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: advantage for the Texans from that perspective heading into this one,

234
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: and we'll see what it means for the Packers offense

235
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: with no Bok tr and potentially no Aaron Jones. Now,

236
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: with the running back situation, the Packers can just fire

237
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: with Jamal Williams and with aj Dillon and I don't

238
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: think there'll be a significant drop off because it'll just

239
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: be different. It'll be like you were driving in a

240
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: Lamborghini and now you're driving in a big F one fifty.

241
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: That's the difference. They both can go one hundred miles

242
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: an hour. They're just doing it a little bit differently.

243
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: It's back tr that's the the big one. You're Saah

244
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: nicheman who played in Virginia Tech. He could have to

245
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: jump in at tackle. They could move some things around

246
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: and move Billy Turner if they needed to. They have

247
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: some things that could do. But not having David Baktr

248
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be big because whoever lines up over there,

249
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: we'll see a lot of number ninety nine JJ Watt

250
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: in this one. There's no question about that. Okay, that

251
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: and those are your hot reads, brought to you by Geico.

252
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: There's great news. You can save some money all by

253
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: just calling Geico dot com. Fifteen minutes could save you

254
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: fifteen percent or more on a car insurance. All right,

255
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: we come back. Injuries hit the Texans a couple of

256
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: weeks ago. That was Bernardic McKinney. He is out for

257
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: the year. The guy that stepped in for him is

258
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: Terrell Adams, Nobody's teammates as TA. He's been very good

259
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. He's very good on the MIC,

260
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: and he sat down with our own DEEPI Situ for

261
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: a deep interview of the week, brought to Visifinity, and

288
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: it's time for our Deep Slant Interview of the Week,

289
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: brought to you by Exfinity. In this week, it's one

290
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: of the more interesting players on this team, a guy

291
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: that's had a bumpy road if you will, to get

292
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: to where he is today. The man's wanted to start

293
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: whenever you can get the opportunity. Torell Adams has started

294
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks and it's a linebacker next

295
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: to Zach Cuttingham he has a big test on Sunday,

296
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: But man, is he good on a microphone. I'm glad

297
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: he's playing football, not coming after my job. He is

298
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: very good and deep. Had a chance to sit down

299
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: with Number fIF Tyrell. I'm sure it's been a crazy

300
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: it's been a crazy season. But what of the last

301
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: few weeks in particular been like for you? Um, they've

302
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: been they've been up and down again. You know, we

303
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: won and we lost lost a real close one. It's

304
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: been up and down. A lot of emotions into it,

305
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: but it's been fun, kind of the journey, kind of

306
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: just trying to prove myself out on the field to

307
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: the guys, to the coaches, be a good teammate to

308
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: those guys around me, just kind of keeping the spirits

309
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: up and everything. But it's it's been it's been cool.

310
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: It's been a lot of emotions, for sure, but it's

311
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: been cool all right. Well, a lot of people outside

312
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: of the organization we're surprised at what you're able to do.

313
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: Your teammates not they've seen you around the building, they

314
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: know what you've done at practice. But in your first

315
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: two starts this season, you're already tied for first in

316
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: the AFC and fourth in the NFL with twenty total

317
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: tackle So you kind of came out the gate hot

318
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: the first start in Jacksonville. You're the fumal recovery. You know,

319
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: you led the team with tackles. What sort of set

320
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: you up for success just sort of stepping in. I

321
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: know Bernardrick McKinney's shoes are big ones to fill for you.

322
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: But you know what do you attribute the fact that

323
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: it was a pretty easy transition for you? I think

324
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: definitely just the guys around me. Those guys in their room.

325
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: You have Dylan cole Zek Cunningham, Bernardi McKinney, all those guys.

326
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: It's just high effort, high energies. Is like high plague

327
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: type of guys. It's always trying to contribute. So just

328
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: trying to keep up with those guys kind of influences

329
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: me and encourage me to kind of be better. No

330
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: matter what I'm doing. When I'm throwing into those guys,

331
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: kind of they give me, give me advice, they give

332
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: me a support as I go in there, and then

333
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: try to trying to keep them, keep the excited about

334
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: me and keep them encouraged, so keep their hopes allow

335
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 1: with me. They like I said, Like I said, they

336
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: give me encouragement. So I'm just doing it for those guys.

337
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: It's right up beside me, and those guys is counting

338
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: them me. Well, you've been on the practice squad for

339
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: the Texans, and when you look at your bio of

340
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: the places you've been, it's like a paragraph of all

341
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: the teams that you have spent time with over the

342
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: course of your career. You're in year five, but you've

343
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: played let's say you've been with Seattle, Kansas City, the Raiders,

344
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: the Bills, the Colts, Texans, forty nine ers, Texans again,

345
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure I left out a few, like

346
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: resigning with the same team again. So a lot of

347
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: different teams that you've been with that you've been cut from.

348
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: What was sort of the momentum for you, because I

349
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: imagine that's it's got to be tough the first second third.

350
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: But after a number of times, did you ever sort

351
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: of lose hope or what kept you going that you

352
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: know you wanted to establish yourself in the NFL. I

353
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: think I think the biggest thing is it definitely can

354
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: be like emotionally stressing, for sure, but just having my

355
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: family around me, my big brother, He's a big influence

356
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: in my life. He always kind of reminds me just

357
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm built for this kind of just and I just

358
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: look back on my life even before NFL, kind of

359
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: the things I went through my career in football, in

360
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: college and in high school, just I've always kind of

361
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: been bouncing back and forth, trying to establish myself and

362
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: just kind of just waving those those opt obstacles and

363
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: those challenges. Now every time I look back on those

364
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: those things, I kind of remind myself that you can

365
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: do this, overcome anything that's kind of throwing your way.

366
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: So it just comes to support for my family again

367
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: and just always reminded myself you can do it again.

368
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: It's a blessing to kind of be in this position,

369
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: and I'm blessed to be where i'mt I wouldn't change

370
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: journey for nothing, for sure. But again, my family just

371
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: always in my corner or encouraging me, reminded me of

372
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: just like the things I can accomplish and reminding me

373
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: of things I've accomplished so far. So that kind of

374
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: keeps me encouraged to keep working and just keep driving

375
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: and just let the chips fall as they may and

376
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: taking the best of taking advantage of the best of

377
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: my opportunity. So, well, you went to West Georgia and

378
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: you majored in accounting. Yeah, did you ever think, you

379
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: know what I might have to if the football thing

380
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: doesn't work out. I might have to go back and

381
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: be an accountant or something I think is going to

382
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: happen if football didn't work out for you. I was

383
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: in an interview at Northwest and Mutual for a salesman's

384
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: job when I got the call from like one of

385
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: the scouts, one of the NFL scout about they wanted

386
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: to come see me work out for a few teams.

387
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: And literally as I'm walking out of the interview because

388
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: I got the job for the rep job. And then

389
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: as I'm walking out the interview, out of interview, I

390
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: get a call from a random number and it's like, hey,

391
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: wants you to come perform for these couple of teams,

392
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and I'm literally like, oh my god,

393
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 1: I got a chance. So they kind of was just

394
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: just kind of just rolled from there. So I love that.

395
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: So you had a job offer in hand, yes, as

396
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: a sales rep for Northwestern Mutual. Yeah, and you get

397
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: a call on the other hand, that NFL teams are

398
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: calling it a try out exactly. So how happy would

399
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: you have been if, like, you never got the NFL

400
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: call but you had taken the job. Do you think

401
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: you would have looked back and thought, I wish it

402
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: would have gone through. Would you have not looked back?

403
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: You seem like such a happy, go lucky guy. I

404
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: feel like maybe would have been. It's crazy because I

405
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: love football so much. So literally, in the interview, I'm

406
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: like kind of like watching, like because I'm inside the office,

407
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm watching all the people around kind of like what

408
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: they're doing. I'm seeing all these cubicles, and I'm literally

409
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: slowly and stead of like accepting, like, gosh, it's over

410
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: with the fun life is over with just the uplift.

411
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: Because I'm a people's person. I like to be in

412
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: like live environments. I'm just like that's just me. I'm

413
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: a social butterfly. So it was just it wasn't social

414
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: use the sales job wasn't going to be social enough

415
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: for you. What were you gonna do? Exactly? So I

416
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: was I was literally there and I was going through

417
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: my head like I guess it's all over and then

418
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: I get that call and literally and that was the beginning.

419
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: That was the end of the sales career for now exactly. Yeah,

420
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: maybe way way, way, way later in the future. All right,

421
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: So you've had all these journeys with different teams. You

422
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: actually played against the Texans before, because of course, when

423
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 1: you played for that many teams, its only a matter

424
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: of time before you see a team that you're gonna

425
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: end up with. What do you remember, you I want

426
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: to say it was a twenty sixteen the playoff game, right, yeah,

427
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: I remember, I just remember coming here. Was my first

428
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: playoff game. Again, it was my first year actually got

429
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: active to play, so it was my first playoff game

430
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: playing and I was with the Raiders. We lost, but

431
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: Derek Carr had was out for the season that year,

432
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: exactly exactly, and then we just got beat went back home,

433
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: and literally a year later, I was here in Houston.

434
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: You were You've been here a couple of times. You've

435
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: been here, and then you know, you blocked a punt

436
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, you got cut, but the Texans brought

437
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: you back again. Last year. You're on the practice practice squad,

438
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: right and then yea, and you started the last two

439
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: games of the year, BERNARDA. Wickney was out. You had

440
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: a forced fumble in that game against Tampa Bay. So

441
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: what's it like when you make a big playing a game,

442
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: do you feel like, Okay, this is the thing that's

443
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: gonna help me latch on your team because you've had

444
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: big plays in the past, and you know, for whatever

445
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: reason teams have had to part ways with you. But

446
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: how do you remain hopeful that what you're doing on

447
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: the field is enough to help you stay with that team.

448
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: I've kind of been around it a while now. Again,

449
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: going into my fifth year, I've been around at a while.

450
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: Another kind to stand the business side of it, so

451
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: I kind of try not let it beat me too much.

452
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: I kind of stayed true to once I make those

453
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: plays encourage myself. Again's reminding myself you can do it.

454
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: You can do this, and those just subtle reminders that

455
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: you're worried supposed to be it. So just keep working

456
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: and keep chopping at the wood and eventually the tria

457
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: come down. But you gotta stay persistent. So that's kind

458
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: of like the thing for me is just staying persistent

459
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: at it. Well, I talked to Whitney Merciless recently and

460
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: he said that they were all so happy for you,

461
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: the linebackers group, and I know that they've joke around

462
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: with you a lot. Be scar TV you You've been

463
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: on a couple of times. Your name seems to come up,

464
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: and I thought, this guy, they're always talking about him,

465
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: and I've heard from several players you're probably one of

466
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: the funniest players on the team. So tell me about

467
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: what you know, maybe what fans don't really know about you,

468
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: what you're like. Maybe all right, what about me? Oh,

469
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: it's so much. I love movies. I love cartoons. I'm

470
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: very I love cartoons. SpongeBob and and The Amazing World

471
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: of Gunball probably my favorite two cartoons shows right now.

472
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: But I just like Man on Earth being goofed. I

473
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: like to keep my youth about myself. I have a daughter,

474
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: so we're always gooting around making jokes. Like I just

475
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: I just really prod myself as just being down to

476
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: earth and not being too uptight about things because life

477
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: is stressful enough and in itself, so I try to

478
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: make the most and the fun of it, if anything,

479
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: And I'm involved in You seem like a fun dad

480
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: because you do have a very light hearted yeah. Yeah,

481
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: but the thing about being a fun dad is take

482
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: you serious? That's true. I was gonna say, how do

483
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: you do that? Exactly? So it's like it's my achilles

484
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: here and a parent. So you're like, I haven't quite

485
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 1: figured out how to be the strict dad, but I

486
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: definitely exactly and dad exactly all right. So your practice,

487
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: your preparation, your camaraderie with the teammates. How much has

488
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: that helped you this year and having to step up

489
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: and take b Max place because being on the practice squad,

490
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: imagine you guys get a lot of work in Yeah,

491
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: at Scout team obviously you've helped out on special teams

492
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: all this time too, But how much is just being

493
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 1: on the practice squad? I really prepared you for this moment.

494
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: I just just being around the guys for so long,

495
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: we kind of built this um in the culture here,

496
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: just like hard working guys, lunch pill and hard hat

497
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: type of guys around here. So being around those guys again,

498
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: like Dylan Cole, the guys out front, Dunnie Carlos, those

499
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: those being around those guys just seeing how they carry

500
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: themselves and they're they're very down earth guys goofy as well,

501
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: but they also make sure they handle their business like

502
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: taking care of business on the field. So being around

503
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: those guys is kind of like cultivating me to kind

504
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: of be that same way. A part of being just goofy,

505
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: just make sure you're handing a business on the field

506
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: so they can can trust me when I'm out there

507
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: and be confident who who they have behind them or

508
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: the safeties who they have in front of them. So

509
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: definitely taking notice Tyrell Adams number fifty out on the

510
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 1: field making a name for himself this year in twenty twenty, Tarrell,

511
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: best of luck for the rest of the season. And

512
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm really glad that you didn't take

513
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: that job at northwester Oh. Definitely, thank you so much.

514
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate you having me. It's kind of amazing. If

515
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: you think about your life as a choose, you are

516
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: an adventure novel and when you think you get a

517
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: fork in the road, you like, well, I could go

518
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: this way, and then for some reason you're like, you

519
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna stick with this way and see

520
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: what happens. Sometimes you end up as the Sidlaw report

521
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: of the Houston Texans. Sometimes you end up as the

522
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: starting linebacker for the Houston Texans, and sometimes you may

523
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:21,239
Speaker 1: end up being a multi billionaire working in biotech. That

524
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be me, though, that that was not part

525
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: of my Choose your Own Adventure. Novel might have been

526
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: for Drill Adams, but it wasn't for me, that's for sure.

527
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: All Right. When we get back, how do the Houston

528
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: Texans beat the Green Bay Packers. I've got your first

529
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: Community Credit Union first glance keys to the game next

530
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: right here on Texans All Access. What are the experts

531
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: predicting about this week's big game? Extra points? Saturday night?

532
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: It's at ten thirty or after the late local news

533
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: on ABC thirteen. So glad you are with me on

534
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: this Friday edition of Texans All Access from Nday Texans

535
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: Radio Studio. I am your host, John Harris, So glad

536
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: to be with you less than forty eight hours away

537
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: from a noon kick against the Green Bay Packers. The

538
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: Packers coming to Houston for I believe just the third time.

539
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: I want to say, oh four, twenty twelve and now

540
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. That's it. The Texas have been up there.

541
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: We'll see oh eight in sixteen. All right. I don't know.

542
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: Maybe that's that feels wrong, but it's probably right. I

543
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: don't know. We'll have to double check my math in that,

544
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: but I know those are the years that we played

545
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: them and have played them, and I have not been

546
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: on the sidelines for a win. And the only one

547
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: I was down there before was twenty sixteen. Twenty twelve. Well,

548
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: that was a night Aaron Rodgers went off. He did

549
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: the Lebron James thing, not one, not two, not three.

550
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: He threw six touchdowns against the Texans on a Sunday night.

551
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: Oh goodness. I remember I was doing my overnight show

552
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: and I was je act. I was so jacked. I

553
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: actually had a couple of my producers who were huge

554
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: Packers fans, which normally Saturday's or you know, every other Sunday,

555
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: my best pals. They were making sure the Packers win,

556
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: and hey Packers today, that was awesome. You know, discussed Packers.

557
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: But on that day, man, I came in wearing my

558
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: Texans stuff and I walked into the studio do my

559
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: midnight show with my tail between my legs because Aaron

560
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers just lit them up. Oh my god. I had

561
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: never seen anything like that. Unfortunately, I've seen a few

562
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: sets then, but I've also seen de Shan Watson give

563
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: it back to the other team as well. So let's

564
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: dive into the keys to the game, brought to you

565
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: by FCCU First Community Credit Union is the official credit

566
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: Union of your Houston Texans. We're gonna start with the

567
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: Texans defense against this Packers offense. So what do the

568
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: Texans have to stop? Number One, Let's take a look

569
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: at what they've done already this year. The Packers are

570
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: averaging one hundred and thirty nine point four yards per

571
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: game on the ground. That's seventh in the NFL. There

572
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: was a lot of talk in the offseason when AJ

573
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: Dillon was drafted the Packers were going to sort of

574
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: transition out of the past first Aaron Rodgers first game

575
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: plan into a little bit more balance. And the Packers

576
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: have run the ball extremely welped at three headed monster

577
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: running back and we'll get to that in a little bit,

578
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: but they've not dropped off significantly in the passing game

579
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: all that much. Two hundred fifty seven point two yards

580
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: per game, that's fourteenth in the NFL. You'd think with

581
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers there'd be more, but it's not like Aaron's

582
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: got a plethora of weapons to throw to. That offense

583
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: is pretty balanced. At nearly four hundred yards per game,

584
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: three hundred ninety six point six, they're averaging total offense

585
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: that's seventh in the league. So offense top seven, yardage wise,

586
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: top seven, rush wise, passing game about average. But Aaron

587
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: Rodgers is still the guy that scares you to death.

588
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing, turnovers lost. They've played five games

589
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: they had to buy I think buying week five. Two interceptions.

590
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: That's it. Two interceptions. Now, the Texans were able to

591
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: take advantage of a team last week that only had

592
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: one going in there had been one Ryan Tannehill interception.

593
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: The Texans were able to double that amount turnover wise.

594
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: I mean they had one interception, that's the Brad the

595
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: Robe interception. Then they had the fubble forced by J. J.

596
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: Watt that was recovered by Jacob Martin. So the Titans

597
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: had one all year. They had two on Sunday against

598
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: the Texans. Again, the Texans should have won. I don't

599
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: even want to think about that game any more. So

600
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: put up some numbers. Nearly four hundred yards a game,

601
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: not turn the ball over, scoring the ball pretty well.

602
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: Last week was a major hiccup? Was it a sign

603
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: of things for the Packers only scoring ten points? Because

604
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: they ten? And then the Bucks went on a thirty

605
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: eight to nothing run, scoring twenty eight in the second quarter,

606
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: But they scored thirty eight unanswered on the Packers, and

607
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: the Packers looked befuddled. Aaron Rodgers was getting smoked by

608
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: that Buck's front. Can the Texans replicate that? Well, let's see,

609
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: let's get to the keys number one for this Texans defense,

610
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: comfort is a killer. Now. What I mean by that

611
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: is Aaron Rodgers getting comfortable in the pocket will be

612
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: a five hundred yard performance in five touchdowns. He will

613
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: light the Texans up like an October Christmas tree. He

614
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: will go crazy. What the Bucks did, even if they

615
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: didn't do it, it would have been what I wanted

616
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: the Texans to do. And that's not let him get comfortable.

617
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: After a ten nothing lead, the buccaneer brought blitz after

618
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: blitz after blitz, and the Packers could not handle it.

619
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: Rogers was flustered. He threw a number of passes away.

620
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: He threw a couple of interceptions with some pressure on

621
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: his face. If you allow him to get comfortable in

622
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: the pocket, he will kill you. But if you keep

623
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: him on his toes and surround him and pressure him

624
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 1: with five man, six man, even seven man pressures, maybe

625
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: there's a chance. Rogers numbers against the Blitz and not

626
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: against the non Blitz are like night and day different.

627
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: Comfort as a killer. Do not allow Aaron Rodgers to

628
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: get comfortable. Key number two, Double Davante. Now, Davante Adams

629
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: was out for a few weeks deal with an injury.

630
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: He got back for the Buccaneers game, and he did

631
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: have six catches, so he gotta you know, look at

632
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, sixteen games and six catches, just ninety six

633
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,479
Speaker 1: catches the year. It wasn't like get a horrible game.

634
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: But you've got to force the other packer wideouts to

635
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: hurt you and the tight end to hurt you. That's

636
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: what you've got to be able to do. Take limit

637
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: DeVante as much as possible. If I tell you that

638
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday Davante catches for six or sixty one, I

639
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: think I'd be okay with that. But the only way

640
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: you're going to be able to do that is to

641
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: double bracket bring help. I would imagine Bradley Roby is

642
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: gonna get that heat. That's I would imagine that's it.

643
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: Bradley Roby is gonna take that heat, and then the

644
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: rest of the secondary is gonna give him help where

645
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: they can. Now, DeVante is one heck of a route runner,

646
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: so Bradley's always got to consider where his help is

647
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: and use his leverage to move Davante into that help.

648
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: At all times. If it's one on one, he's got

649
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: to do the absolute best that he can to match

650
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: and mirror without grabbing, holding, etc. That's not easy against

651
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: Vante Adams, but they can help Bradley by doubling him,

652
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 1: bracketing him, bringing help from somewhere else on the field

653
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: such that DeVante doesn't go off, because if he doesn't

654
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: go off, I don't think anybody else for the Green

655
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: Bay Packers will go off either. Number three violently eliminate

656
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: running lanes. There were times against the Tennessee Titans. I

657
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: know you're gonna hear this and go wait a second,

658
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry had two hundred and twelve yards running. Yes,

659
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: he got ninety four of that on one play, so

660
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 1: that means he had one hundred and eighteen yards and others.

661
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 1: With the rest of his carries, it's not a significant amount,

662
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: especially when you considered a two other like twenty five

663
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: or thirty yard runs. He got the majority of his yards,

664
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: a significant amount of his yards on three carries, and

665
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: on those three carries, it was clear the Texans did

666
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: not eliminate the running lanes. Guys jumped into different gaps,

667
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: they didn't get off blocks as well as they could have,

668
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: and Derrick Henry exploited it. And that has been the

669
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: issue this year. When the Texans aren't violently attacking offensive blockers,

670
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: then they are not eliminating the run lanes. They're getting

671
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 1: knocked off the spot, they're getting knocked out of control

672
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: where they're not under control to make a tackle. They

673
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: are not eliminating the running lanes. Now this becomes even

674
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 1: more important in some sense with the fact that Aaron

675
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: Jones is banged up. He did not practice on Friday

676
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: with that calf muscle we talked about earlier. He is

677
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: questionable for this game. He had been fine, but then

678
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: he didn't practice on Friday because of that calf. He

679
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: can take eight inches of daylight and burst through it

680
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 1: and turn it into seventy five yard run like he

681
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 1: did against Detroit. The other two backs are bigger backs,

682
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: and Jamal Williams and AJ Dillon they're not going to

683
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: exploit it as much. However, you've got to be that

684
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: much more violent in attacking those blockers such that you

685
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: are hitting those two big backs with more than just

686
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: one individual. Violently eliminate run lanes, shock hands, shed fine

687
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: ball carrier, bring him down. We'll get to that a

688
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: number five in just a second. But when the Texans

689
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: slowed down Derek Henry in the zone game, they violently

690
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: eliminated those running lanes, and the Texans will see a

691
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: lot of the same style of running game, even if

692
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 1: it's a different looking running back. Now it might be

693
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: to the same running backs, or it could be Aaron

694
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: Jones and those two guys. It just depends. My guess

695
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: is Jones is gonna try and work it through and

696
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: try and make it through this game. But I think

697
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: that's going to end up being pretty tough. So we'll

698
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: see either way, whether it's Jamal Williams or whether it's

699
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones or AJ Dylan or John Brockington or whatever

700
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: great Packer running back there was. If they don't eliminate

701
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: the running lanes by playing violent at the point of attack,

702
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: it won't matter. Number four. The screen game is coming.

703
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur will throw screens of all kinds. He will

704
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: throw wide receiver screens, He'll throw tight end screens, He'll

705
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: throw slip screens, He'll throw tunnel screens, he'll throw tera screens,

706
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: He'll throw all kinds of screens at the Texans that

707
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: can give them issue because I know, playing at home

708
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: against the Packers, they're gonna be just hell bent going

709
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: to get Aaron Rodgers. And Rodgers is one of the

710
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: best in ball handling and faking and letting you know, Okay,

711
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a roll up. Nope, it's a screen

712
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: and away you go. The screen game can be very

713
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: difficult to stop, especially when you are a hell bent

714
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,879
Speaker 1: on stopping a run game and you are hell bent

715
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: on keeping Aaron Rodgers in the pocket because he's so

716
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: good with his fakes. Those screens can come on you

717
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: and get on you so fast, and those lining are

718
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: pretty agile. The screen game is coming. Read your keys

719
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: when you recognize screen plant, turn sprint and find the receiver.

720
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: And number five and I shouldn't even have to spend

721
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: but ten seconds saying this, but if the Texans don't

722
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: tackle any better, the Packers will score forty nine points

723
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: on them in a half. You've got to tackle better.

724
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: This team used to be one of the best tackling

725
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. It is now one of the

726
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: three worst. And that's got to change. On Sunday. Tackle better,

727
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: way better. And I know people, well, it's easy to

728
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: say that, Yeah, I know, I understand. However, if you

729
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: get yourself in position, if you read your keys, if

730
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: you have good base, good strike, and great hands to

731
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: wrap up. How many times I saw second and third

732
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: level defenders throw a shoulder into Derrick Henry the other day.

733
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna go down new More risks

734
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:05,399
Speaker 1: numerous and it cost him badly, badly. John Smith third

735
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: down reception, He's ten yards shorter. First down, there goes

736
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: one linebacker with his shoulder. There's another linebacker with the

737
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: shoulder Johonno. Smith breaks out, gets the first down. They

738
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: score a touchdown at that drive, and it could have

739
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: been stopped right, There could have been three out Nope,

740
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: turned into a touchdown. Tackling, tackling, tackle better, all right,

741
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: Let's talk about his Packers defense. It's average across the

742
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: board statistically speaking. Rushing yards, it's given up one sixteen

743
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: a game on the ground, that's fifteenth in the league.

744
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: Passing yards two thirty one point two through the air

745
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: that's fourteenth in the league. Total yards allowed three and

746
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: forty seven point four that's fourteenth in the league. And

747
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: they've only generated three turnovers. Now they're plus plus one

748
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: in turnover margin, but they haven't generated a lot of

749
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 1: turnovers either. Texans now have four in the last two

750
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: games that Packers have three. On the ear they have

751
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:57,439
Speaker 1: tun interceptions and a fumble recovery. One are the keys

752
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: to moving the ball against his Packers defense, Well, the

753
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: first key is understanding that Big Z is a big problem,

754
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: and Big Z Isadarius Smith. He's the leading sack artist

755
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: for this Packers team. He will rush from every spot

756
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: up and down the line of scrimmage. The Packers better

757
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: find him and control him with one, two, three, four people.

758
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: I don't care how many you gotta put on him,

759
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: but you gotta keep fifty five from making an impact

760
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: in this game. Find where he lines up and then

761
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 1: handle him. Now one advantage kind of the Texans have

762
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: is that they did go against him in training camp

763
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: two years ago in twenty nineteen. They did have a

764
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: chance to see him. But he's got much much much

765
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: better from there. So he'll come at you from a

766
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: number of different angles and alignments and such. Find him,

767
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 1: contain him and make sure he's not getting to Shaun Watson.

768
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: Number two is Ken Kenny Clark. He just got back

769
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: in the lineup last week against the Buccaneers and he

770
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: is the Packers version of Brandon Williams who we saw

771
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: in Week two, and Brandon Williams ate up our interior

772
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: run game. Kenny Clark can do the same thing. Jeffrey

773
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: Simmons a little different player but had a similar impact.

774
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: Kenny Clark's a little bit sure, a little bit more stout,

775
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: plays a little bit more like Geno Atkins. You've got

776
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: to get leverage to and through him, knock him off

777
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: the ball and give the running backs room to run

778
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: if not ninety seven is going to disrupt the inside

779
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 1: all game long. Number three, you sim up tempo, not

780
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,479
Speaker 1: just because I like it, but because the Packers didn't

781
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: adapt to it against the Buccaneers last week. Tom Brady

782
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 1: was up with the last scrimmage, very very quickly last week,

783
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 1: and he was successful and the Packers weren't lined up.

784
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: I've seen it happen in the Packers before it can

785
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: happen again. Use some tempo to catch them off guard.

786
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 1: Maybe steal an extra five yards because I got twelve

787
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: minut on the field, not on purpose. This time. You

788
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: sim up tempo number four. Let them decide, then destroy.

789
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: Here's what I mean. The Packers are gonna game plan

790
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: throughout this week to take away one of the Texas

791
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: receiving threats. Now, listening to Matt Lafloor talk about Will Fuller,

792
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: I would imagine if he had anything to do with it,

793
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: it would be will Fuller. Then attack the other side,

794
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: even if it's JR. Alexander, because Will Fuller and Brandon

795
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: Cooks can beat any man coverage to Packers throughout them,

796
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 1: even JR. Alexander. Now, Alexander thinks he can cover anybody anywhere, anytime,

797
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 1: but if he's one on one coverage, you still can attack.

798
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,720
Speaker 1: But whoever the Packers decide to double or take away

799
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: or try to take away the other guy can have

800
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 1: a big day. I don't care if it's Alexander or

801
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: whomever covering, let them decide, then destroy it and number

802
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: five Duke Johnson. Use Duke. I want to see Duke

803
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: Johnson in this lineup a little bit more. He's a

804
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: lot like Aaron Jones. He's quicker, he's shift gear. He

805
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: can take advantage of maybe some smaller holes up inside

806
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,439
Speaker 1: that maybe David Johnson can't. Maybe David needs to play

807
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: a little more receiver in this. Maybe you can use

808
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: both backs together where we've seen the Texans do that

809
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: a little bit this year. But use Duke Johnson. Try

810
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: to capitalize on his quickness in between the tackles. That's

811
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: the advantage that Duke provides over David, and I think

812
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,439
Speaker 1: the line is giving some slivers of hope. That's where

813
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: I think maybe Duke can exploit it, maybe a little

814
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: bit better than David. Either way, you need a big

815
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: game out of the two running backs. But hopefully Duke

816
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: Johnson will be a little bit more part of the

817
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: offense this week against the Packers. Okay, speaking of the

818
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,479
Speaker 1: state of Wisconsin, one of its most famous citizens will

819

832
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: Game day. He's every day. We had a lot of

833

837
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: hour of this Friday edition of Texans All Acts Us,

838
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: I am calling out to all Houston area teachers. You

839
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: want to bring a little Texans football to your classroom.

840
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: That sign up for Toros Math Trials presented by Conico Phillips.

841
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: Toros Matris is a video series designed to help third

842
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 1: and fourth graders learn how to tackle math in the classroom.

843

Speaker 1: Go to Houston Texans dot com slash Toros Mathterris to

844
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: learn more. Now, a guy that we all know does

845
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,760
Speaker 1: math very very well is Drew Dorton. He went to SMU,

846
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 1: so he's slightly smart. A guy that knows math better

847
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 1: than him is me, but that's just me picking on Drew.

848
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: A guy that knows math better than either one of

849
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: us is number ninety nine J J Watt. Well, the

850
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: good news is Drew sat down with JJ Watt and

851
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: had a humdinger of an interview. We call it Drew's Dozen,

852
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 1: where JJ must sit and answer twelve of Drew's most

853
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: inane and fun questions. And this is what it sounded like.

854
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 1: Look who it is. It's JJ Watt, JJ, You and

855
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: I have never done this interview before. It's called Drews Dozen.

856
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: It's twelve questions. We've done weird ones before, but those

857
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: have been different formats. So we're gonna do this virtually.

858
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna do it via zoom, and we're gonna start

859
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 1: with this. If Chewbacca was on the Texans. What position

860
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 1: would he play? Nose guard those guard. Yeah, the offensive guy,

861
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,240
Speaker 1: so I don't want him. He'd probably be an offensive

862
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: tackled but the defensive guy, so I'll take him at

863
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: those guard. You don't think he can go both ways though,

864
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,399
Speaker 1: I mean he's kind of bigger and stronger. I think

865
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: you get tired at get tired. I do think he

866
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: would challenge you for the past deflections records. So I

867
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: think he was about eight feet tall, right, Oh, yeah,

868
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: he probably would probably would. Okay, rank the trios from

869
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: one through five the best to work, the Watt Brothers,

870
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: the Three Stooges, the Three Amigos, Charlie's Angels, and the

871
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: Three Musketeers. We're one, okay, Three Amigos are two okay,

872
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: Three Stooges I know, Charlie's Angels are two. Three Stooges

873
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: are three. I know. I'm all over the place. Watt

874
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: Brothers one, Charlie's Angels two, Three Amigos three, three Stooges four,

875
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: Three Musketeers five. That's the correct ranking. Congratulations, good job.

876
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:41,240
Speaker 1: First movie that ever gave you nightmares? The Ring, Really

877
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's the last. That's the one

878
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: I can remember maybe Texas Jain saw Masker up there,

879
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 1: but I mean that one. I was like, don't run

880
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: into the house, like, don't do stupid stuff. The ring

881
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: that was more just like coming out of TV anytime

882
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: or TV one static that for that it was a

883
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: bit I'm not to see that one. I've never seen it, So, yeah, mate,

884
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,919
Speaker 1: don't watch with their kids. No, I will not do that. Okay, Yeah,

885
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: that's I'm a good father. Okay, you're stranded on an island.

886
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: You have one meal a day provided, you have unlimited

887
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: water provided so you don't have to worry about food

888
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 1: or water. What two things are you taking with you

889
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: that you can bring my wife? Good? My dogs? Your

890
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: wife and your dogs. I'm glad you asked me about

891
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: you or you brought up your dogs. I'm going to

892
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 1: ask you about your dog. I'm glad you brought them

893
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: up because how often have they interrupted a Zoom meeting? Um,

894
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: a couple of times, but I kind of figured it

895
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: out after a while. But for the most part, they're

896
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: all right. They've interrupted probably two or three. I don't

897
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: I don't leave the door open for that possibility unless

898
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: I think it would be comical if they did interrupt

899
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,240
Speaker 1: him if the meeting was acceptable for that to happen.

900
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: So you just put them in a different part of

901
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: the house basically, Yeah, yeah, they have their own area.

902
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,959
Speaker 1: But sometimes then they still bark and interrupt it. Yeah,

903
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:10,919
Speaker 1: that's the worst. When they're kind to make their voice

904
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 1: heart you know. Yeah, you've taken the precautions and they

905
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: still get through. Okay, you win a game. The Texans

906
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 1: win a game at noon at NRG Stadium. What's the

907
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: perfect post game meal later on in the day. It's

908
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: a great question. I post game. One of the things

909
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: that I've always enjoyed having post game in sabachi. I

910
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 1: like having some like you know, fried rice, steak, shrimp,

911
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: that whole deal. I also enjoy chocolate chip pancakes, breakfast tacos.

912
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 1: I also sometimes enjoy it burgers, pizza, ice cream can

913
00:51:54,480 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: sometimes make it in shakes. I've also enjoyed pancakes. Again,

914
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 1: my wife makes a pizza, homemade pizza that I really like.

915
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 1: U sometimes I can order out, so you mix it up.

916
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,839
Speaker 1: There's no set like menu or meal. Huh No, that

917
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: was that was the menu? Ate all of that. Oh,

918
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: you're like a blushi an animal house like walking through

919
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: the cafeteria line. Do you get everything pretty much? Yeah?

920
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: Is there any jello in there? No? No jello. Um,

921
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: so dismissive of jello jeans. Takes too long to make.

922
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: You gotta do it the night before and then put

923
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: it in the s bridge. I don't got that kind

924
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: of time, do you? I don't. And that's that's probably

925
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: why when I was a freshman in college, I ate

926
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: jello and every meal in the cafeteria. I love jello.

927
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: So that's a lot of sugar. Yeah, it's probably why

928
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:54,879
Speaker 1: I'm a Type one diabetic. Now, huh, that's true. Man, Hey,

Speaker 1: movie character? I almost want to add this football team.

932
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: That is a great question, Drew. There are a lot

933
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 1: of different ways you could go with this answer. There's

934
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: really only one answer. Who is your answer? That's the

935

Speaker 1: greatest linebacker of all greatest greatest college, greatest movie football

936
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: character of all time, Bobby Bouche. And he's a middle linebacker.

937
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, that would work. Yeah. Um, I would

938
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: probably understand his play calls about as good as I

939
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: understand back when he makes the play calls, but he'd

940
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 1: be good. I mean, I don't know what the first thing.

941
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: I thought it was rudy, but that would literally be

942
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: the worst issue. Which, by the way, the great job

943
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: and that's that was a funny, funny scene in Saturn

944
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: anoland that was really good stuff. Apiart Um. But yeah,

945
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's go with Bive Buche. Your answer

946
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: was good, okay. I mean, there's got to be some

947
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: other ones. I just I can't I keep thinking about

948
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 1: remember the Titans, Thank Julius Campbell. Yeah he was good.

949
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: Like again, he's a high school player. Sure he's good

950
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 1: in high school. I don't know if he us well,

951
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: yeah he would be. Yeah he did Boobie Miles healthy.

952
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: You know, you get him, he gets ACL repaired, make

953
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 1: sure he's healthy, to get him out of here. He knows,

954
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: who knows, I don't know. Okay, moving on, what instrument

955
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: do you wish you could play the guitar? Yeah, car,

956
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: that would be cool sitting around the campfire, being able

957
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: to strum out someta tunes. You play any instruments, so

958
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 1: you know, Nope, I tried to learn the guitar at

959
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: one time. My hands were too big and my patients

960
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: too short? All right? Uh? Favorite Halloween costume growing up?

961
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: What was it? The Red Power Ranger. I was a

962
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: big Red Power Ranger kid. I did it two years

963
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: in a row. I probably would have done it five

964
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,760
Speaker 1: in a row. My parents wouldn't have shut it down, thankfully. Um.

965
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: But I was Red Power Injury through the White one year,

966
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:21,439

967
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,960

Speaker 1: came out, big Star Wars guy. Huh. I mean I

970
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,439
Speaker 1: liked it, but I didn't have like the cool one

971
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 1: like all the kids that they were, like four other

972
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 1: Luke Skywalkers now had that green official lightsaber. And my

974
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:48,320

982
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,360

00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: so we're making anything longer. UM's twenty twenty Halloween costume ideas.

984

00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: All right. Let's always professions that you can go into

00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely awesome stuff with J. J. Watt. Okay, the NFL

1030
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: continuing onward Week seven on Sunday. It started on Thursday.

1031
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 1: Then we got a game on Sunday, we got a

1032
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: game on Monday. I don't know. We might have a

1033
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: game another game on Monday. In the game on Tuesday.

1034
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: As it sits now, I'm going to predict all of

1035
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: them straight up and against the spreadnext right here on

1036
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. What are the experts predicting about this

1037
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 1: week's big game Extra Points Saturday night. It's at ten

1038
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: thirty or after the late local news on ABC thirteen.

1039
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back to this Friday edition of Texans All Access.

1040
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: I am your host, John Harris, Football Analysis, Suthin Reporter,

1041
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 1: and it's about time for my favorite segment of radio

1042
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 1: during the week, whether it's Texans Monday, Texans All Access shows,

1043
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: Texans Replay, extra Points, anything and everything that I do

1044
01:00:56,360 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: during the week, I love this segment I'm about to

1045
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 1: do because it essentially gives me an opportunity to talk

1046
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: about the entire NFL and then predict games and making money. Now,

1047
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: that's not the soul goal to make you money, at

1048
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: least I'm not supposed to say that. But in some cases,

1049
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 1: maybe you've won money because of some game prediction that

1050
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: I've given to you. But that's what I love to do.

1051
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: I love to do predictions. It's kind of like a

1052
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 1: constant battle with myself, kind of a game to see

1053
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: which ones I can get right, which ones I get wrong,

1054
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 1: Why I get them right, why I get them wrong?

1055
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 1: And like I said last week, I think my percentage

1056
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: going into last week was like ninety five percent right,

1057
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 1: straight up and against the spread. It's probably gone up

1058
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 1: since then. I mean it's probably better than that, so

1059
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: it's probably like ninety six and a half ninety seven percent.

1060
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm reaching a point where I'm almost perfect

1061
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 1: every single week. And if you believe that, then I've

1062
01:01:55,720 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 1: got some riverfront property for you to purchase. I'm just kidding.

1063
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't think I've been that that good. I've gotten

1064
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 1: a few, I know that. I know that for sure.

1065
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:08,479
Speaker 1: And I was one two point conversion away from giving

1066
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 1: you two with the Texans and Titans last week as well,

1067
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 1: but I didn't get the two and ended up losing. Anyways,

1068
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm not bitter, not bitter at all. So there was

1069
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: one game last night. It was between the Eagles and

1070
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 1: the Giants. Boston Scott with the game winning reception to

1071
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: give the Eagles a one point win twenty two twenty one,

1072
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: and what actually was a relatively entertaining game for two

1073
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: teams that are I guess they're fighting it out for

1074
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: the NFC East lead, those two and the Cowboys and

1075
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 1: the Redskins. I mean, it's just a future division. But

1076
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 1: either way, the Eagles get the win. I'm glad to

1077
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 1: see Carson Wentz have kind of a bounce back game.

1078
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: He played pretty well in that game against the Ravens

1079
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 1: two then get a win in that one, even though

1080
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: he brought them all the way back. But he did

1081
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: get the win for the Eagles against the Giants twenty

1082
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: two to twenty one. Now I'm not totally sure what

1083
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 1: the spread was in that game, but it doesn't matter

1084
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 1: because over and just no, I would have given you

1085
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 1: the winners had I given that to you. So let's

1086
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: jump into our Sunday games, and keep in mind these

1087
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: are Sunday games as of right now. It could change.

1088
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 1: I'll discuss the ones I think could change with some

1089
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 1: of the COVID instances. We're dealing with. The Silver and

1090
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: Black's been dealing with it this week, and that is

1091
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 1: a game that's already moved. It could move again. We'll see.

1092
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: We'll discuss that when we get there. So let's start

1093
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: with our noon Central games across the NFL. The Packers

1094
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: of Texans will be one of those Green Bays favorite

1095
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 1: about three and a half. But you know, I feel

1096
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: I do not pick against my heart in my head,

1097
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: so I will not pick that one, but I will

1098
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: pick every other one. But before I do, I need

1099
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 1: my music, Maestro, give me my music. There it is, Yes,

1100
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 1: it's faint, but it's right there, and it just hopes

1101
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 1: we get through this segment. The Detroit Lions at two

1102
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 1: and three, trialed down to the Dirty South to take

1103
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 1: on the Atlanta Falcons one in five. These teams have

1104
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: one game winning streaks going the Falcons at two and

1105
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 1: three the Falcons at one and five. The Falcons got

1106
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:21,919
Speaker 1: their win last week housing the Minnesota Vikings, just trouncing

1107
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Raheem Morris as the interim coach. The Falcons

1108
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 1: gets that win. The Lions went down to Duval County

1109
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: and took out the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville, Atlanta not too

1110
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 1: far apart, so the Falcons getting a visit this time

1111
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 1: from the Detroit Lions. Atlanta's favored by two and a half,

1112
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 1: and I had much rather trust Matt Ryan and Julio

1113
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 1: Jones than I would the Detroit Lions. Detroit got a

1114
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 1: great performance from DeAndre Swift. But he always plays well

1115
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 1: in Tia Bank Stadium in Jacksonville. He always did that

1116
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 1: against the Gators, so he did it against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

1117
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: Did they If he can do it again. The Falcons

1118
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 1: has some missue. I don't think it'll happen. I think

1119
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:07,160
Speaker 1: the Falcons win. I think this is a relatively high

1120
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 1: scoring game. I'm feeling like thirty seven to thirty one,

1121
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 1: the Falcons will come out on top. Falcons for every

1122
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 1: boy two and a half. They'll win and they will cover.

1123
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: How about that? The Battle of Ohio the Browns and Bengals,

1124
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: two teams created by Paul Brown. The Browns are now

1125
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 1: four and two. They got it handed to them on

1126
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 1: Sunday by the Pittsburgh Steelers thirty eight seven. Baker Mayfield

1127
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: was atrocious. That led to the second loss of the

1128
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 1: year for the Cleveland Browns. The Bengals, well, they lost again.

1129
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 1: They are one four and one on the year. Although

1130
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 1: Joey Burrow has been playing pretty well but just unable

1131
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: to get a string of wins going. Could add one

1132
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 1: in that first one against the Chargers, they had to

1133
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 1: settle for a tie in that week one. They've played

1134
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 1: well at other times. The Bengals are an underdog at home.

1135
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't think that's too surprising. The Browns are favored

1136
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 1: by three. That's probably about right considering what a mess

1137
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 1: the Browns were last week. I think they'll bounce back.

1138
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 1: I think Baker will bounce back, but I don't think

1139
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: it's one of those he's gonna have a four or

1140
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: five touchdown day. I think he puts twenty one to

1141
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 1: twenty four up on the board. I think Joey b

1142
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 1: puts twenty. This is a twenty one to twenty twenty four,

1143
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 1: twenty three kind of game. So I'm taking the Browns

1144
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: to win. But I do think the Bengals will get

1145
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 1: inside that three point spread, either by making it a

1146
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 1: less than three point win for the Browns or win

1147
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 1: the game out right. I think the Browns will win

1148
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: out right. I think the Bengals will keep it within

1149
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: three points. Game of the day, I guess it's the

1150
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 1: game of the day. It's a game with two hundred

1151
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: few teams, and we have seen both of them. The

1152
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 1: Steelers taking on the Titans. One team unbelievable offense, one

1153
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 1: team unbelievable defense, one team's offense pretty good, one team's

1154
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: defense not so good. The unit that I think could

1155
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 1: change things in this game because it is not up

1156
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 1: the snuff of the other four units. Of all the

1157
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 1: four units offense, defense on both sides is the Titans defense.

1158
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 1: The Texans did what it wanted all day long. Now,

1159
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 1: I do not think that Pittsburgh's got that kind of

1160
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 1: offensive firepower like the Texans do, but they've got plenty,

1161
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 1: and I don't think the Titans will stop the run

1162
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 1: game effectively. I don't think they'll stop Big Ben throwing.

1163
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 1: The Titans are favored by one and a half. I

1164
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: think the Steelers house them. I think the Steelers defense

1165
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 1: eats up Ryan Tannehill. He makes and continues to make

1166
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 1: mistakes with that pressure. I think last week it was

1167
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 1: JJ Watt. This week because t J Watt, the Steelers

1168
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 1: jump all over the Titans on the road. Steelers win,

1169
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: go to six, and oh Titans fall from the ranks

1170
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 1: of the unbeaten. So obviously the Steeler of the win

1171
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 1: will get the cover as well. The Panthers and the

1172
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 1: Saints two teams I think we're all still trying to

1173
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: figure out Man really trying to figure them out. The

1174
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 1: Panthers had a three game winning streak then lost last

1175
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 1: week the Saints. They got it back together after losing

1176
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 1: a few they had lost to the Packers, didn't look

1177
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 1: good doing it, but then they get a win last week.

1178
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 1: The Saints do. They are a seven point favorite at

1179
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:41,600
Speaker 1: home at home, and I like that. I like the

1180
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 1: fact that Saints are playing at home. I'm gonna ride that.

1181
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: I think the Panthers, We're gonna see them win a

1182
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:48,680
Speaker 1: few more games this year. But this is not a

1183
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 1: nine and seven team. This is more like a six

1184
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 1: and ten, seven and nine team. I think they're gonna

1185
01:08:55,160 --> 01:09:01,640
Speaker 1: lose games to teams that that are definitively more talented

1186
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: than they or I think the Saints are that. I

1187
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: don't believe that we will see Michael Thomas in this game.

1188
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: We will not see Emanuel Sanders, who was put on

1189
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 1: the COVID list, But I don't think it matters. I

1190
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 1: think the Saints come out of here with a win.

1191
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 1: Where it does matter, it's against the spread. I do

1192
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: think the Panthers will get inside that seven, so Saints win.

1193
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 1: Panthers cover the Bills straight off two consecutive losses, one

1194
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 1: of the Titans, one of the Chiefs. Now they have

1195
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 1: not lost to a couple of slappies. They've lost the

1196
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: two of the better teams in the league, the Jets

1197
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:43,639
Speaker 1: R and six. That is the worst team in the league.

1198
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 1: Buffalos favored about ten and a half on the road.

1199
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 1: I think they win this thing about three touchdowns. I

1200
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: don't even know what to expect from the Jets anymore

1201
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:53,440
Speaker 1: other than the fact that it's not a good organization.

1202
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 1: It's not coach very well, it's not playing very well.

1203
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 1: Guys are banged up. I think the Bills blow out

1204
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: the Jets. This feels like he can't get to be

1205
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 1: thirty eight to three. Let's roll with that. That's more

1206
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 1: than ten and a half Bill's win. Bills cover the

1207
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys with Andy Dalton that quarterback, travel to Washington, but

1208
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 1: take on the Washington football team. Dallas is favored by

1209
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 1: one on the road, and that's just because Washington really

1210
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 1: offensively can't get anything going. Dwayne Haskins was fined because

1211
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 1: he violated COVID nineteen protocols. I don't think the Washington

1212
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,760
Speaker 1: football team can trust him. But the Washington pass rush

1213
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:36,160
Speaker 1: is one of the best in league, and Dallas offensive

1214
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 1: line is putred right now, and I don't know that

1215
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 1: Aye Dalton can trust it. I think the Cowboys eke

1216
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 1: out a win three pointer at the end, wins it

1217
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:49,679
Speaker 1: seventeen fourteen. That's more than one Cowboys win. Cowboys cover.

1218
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:53,640
Speaker 1: Then we go to your afternoon games. Now, this was

1219
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: supposed to be our Sunday night game and then have

1220
01:10:56,280 --> 01:11:00,799
Speaker 1: plenty of intrigue. Tom Brady with the Bucks against John

1221
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 1: Gruden and the Raiders revisit the tuck rule on Sunday Night,

1222
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 1: and it won't happen because the Raiders have been dealing

1223
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 1: with COVID nineteen all week long, and the NFL did

1224
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 1: not want their Sunday night game potentially canceled, so they

1225
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 1: flexed out this game into an afternoon game on Fox

1226
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: and moved the Seahawks Cardinals, a very intriguing NFC West battle,

1227
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 1: into the Sunday night matchup on NBC. We'll get to

1228
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 1: that one a little bit. But what the Bucks dominant

1229
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:39,360
Speaker 1: last week against the formerly undefeated Green Bay Packers thirty

1230
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 1: eight to ten. The Rogers and the Packers put up

1231
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 1: ten points to start and jumped out to a ten

1232
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:48,760
Speaker 1: old lead. Then Tom Brady and the defense went to

1233
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 1: work to melt. Dean took back a pick six, the

1234
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 1: defense got another pick, tom Brady turned out a touchdown,

1235
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 1: and the onslaught was on thirty eight to ten. The

1236
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:03,599
Speaker 1: Bucks moved to four and two on the year. The

1237
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:08,559
Speaker 1: Raiders coming off that win over the Kansas City Chiefs,

1238
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 1: that's buoyed them, that's really kind of kept them going.

1239
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: They are now three and two in Las Vegas. Tampa

1240
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 1: Bay is favored by four and a half, and to me,

1241
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 1: that speaks to the impact of COVID the offensive line.

1242
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 1: You don't know if everybody's gonna play. It doesn't appear

1243
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 1: that Jonathan Abram, the hard hitting safety for the Raiders,

1244
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 1: is going to play. But if Henry Ruggs is in

1245
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 1: the lineup, the Raiders will keep this close. But the

1246
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 1: Bucks are gonna getna win. The Bucks are gonna find

1247
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:43,920
Speaker 1: a way to win this thing. But I think the

1248
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 1: Raiders are gonna cover. I think whether it's low scoring

1249
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 1: high scoring, I think it's gonna be a three point game.

1250
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:53,839
Speaker 1: So let's go Bucks to win, Raiders to get inside

1251
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:59,799
Speaker 1: that four and a half. Next afternoon game is in Denver,

1252
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 1: where the Broncos are two and three, fresh off in

1253
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 1: eighteen to twelve win on the road at Gillette Stadium

1254
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:12,680
Speaker 1: where Narry a touchdown was scored for the Broncos that is,

1255
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 1: and still got to win the Chiefs. That won't be

1256
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 1: the case the Chiefs score plenty of touchdowns. And they

1257
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:22,680
Speaker 1: played on a Monday afternoon in the rain in Buffalo

1258
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 1: and put up twenty six points on that Bill's defense.

1259
01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 1: As the Chiefs moved to five and one, the Chiefs

1260
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: will move to six in one. The spread here is eight.

1261
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 1: That feels a little bit much, But I just don't

1262
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: like anything the Broncos are doing. They can't score touchdowns.

1263
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:41,240
Speaker 1: You know, Mahomes is gonna put the ball in the

1264
01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 1: end zone. I think that's gonna lead to a ten

1265
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 1: to fourteen point win at a minimum. Take the Chiefs

1266
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 1: to win it and cover the spread against the Denver Broncos.

1267
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 1: Another Sunday afternoon game could have been intriguing. I mean

1268
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 1: it still is, but it could have been even more

1269
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 1: of time were still with the Patriots. However, it's the

1270
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:08,559
Speaker 1: forty nine ers against the Patriots. Jimmy Garoppolo facing his

1271
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:12,040
Speaker 1: former team, the former coach Bill Belichick, who dealt him

1272
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:14,599
Speaker 1: for just a second rounder. I don't know what happened there.

1273
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 1: The Patriots lost last week to the Denver Broncos at home,

1274
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 1: only scored a touchdown of two of the field goals.

1275
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:25,680
Speaker 1: It just looked disjointed. Cam looked out a sink. It

1276
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: looked like that team hadn't practiced, and they hadn't really

1277
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 1: and had caught up with him. Forty nine Ers are

1278
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: at three and three, and Sunday is National tight Ends Day,

1279
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:39,679
Speaker 1: and I think this is the day that at forty

1280
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 1: nine Ers get George Kittle really rolling in twenty twenty.

1281
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,679
Speaker 1: Because the National Tight Ends Day, I think George Kittle

1282
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 1: is gonna have himself a big ball game. I think

1283
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:52,759
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers go to Gillette Stadium and upset

1284
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Patriots are a two point favorite. I know

1285
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:57,720
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are not playing great football, but

1286
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:00,720
Speaker 1: I just have a feeling going into Gillette, Patriots are

1287
01:15:00,760 --> 01:15:02,680
Speaker 1: kind of out of kilter a little bit. I think

1288
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:05,160
Speaker 1: this is the opportunity for the forty nine ers to

1289
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: get a win. And here's the thing. If the forty

1290
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 1: nine Ers don't get this win and they follow the

1291
01:15:09,479 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 1: three and four, there quickly quickly falling out of the

1292
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:17,080
Speaker 1: NFC West race because of the Sunday night game. We'll

1293
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:18,920
Speaker 1: get to that in just a second, but let's go

1294
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,520
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers to win on the road and upset

1295
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, the two point favorite all right.

1296
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: The last afternoon game on Sunday is between the Jaguars

1297
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,879
Speaker 1: and the Chargers, and it feels like these two teams

1298
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:35,080
Speaker 1: meet every year. They met. Last year, Philip Rivers tore

1299
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 1: up the Jags in Duval County. This year it'll be

1300
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert doing that at SOFI Stadium. Jags defense, struggling,

1301
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 1: Chargers favored by seven and a half. I think a

1302
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 1: Charger to win this thing by ten. Give the Chargers

1303
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 1: the win and the cover at home, as Justin Herbert

1304
01:15:54,320 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 1: takes another step in his development Sunday night. This game

1305
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:05,240
Speaker 1: moved to Sunday night, flexed in there because of the

1306
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 1: uneasiness with which things were going in Las Vegas with

1307
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:12,439
Speaker 1: the Raiders and COVID. So the Bucks and Raiders moved

1308
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:16,200
Speaker 1: to the afternoon, the Seahawks and the Cardinals moved to

1309
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Now we saw the Cardinals on Monday night

1310
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 1: go to Dallas and pound the Cowboys. It's a pretty

1311
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 1: good football team and they're fourign too. As a result,

1312
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:31,799
Speaker 1: the Seahawks five and oh because Russell Wilson will not stop.

1313
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:35,200
Speaker 1: This is a tremendous game on Sunday night. I think

1314
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:40,559
Speaker 1: though the Cardinals are still just a little bit behind

1315
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 1: the Seahawks in this The Cardinals will put up some points.

1316
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 1: The Seahawks defense isn't great, but the Seahawks will put

1317
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 1: up much more. Let's go Seahawks thirty nine, Cardinals thirty four.

1318
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 1: That's a win and it's a cover on the road

1319
01:16:56,680 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 1: at Arizona and Monday Night, Oh Bears rank as Rams

1320
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:04,639
Speaker 1: four and two, Bears five and one. Somehow the Bears

1321
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 1: are finding a way to win games they have no

1322
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 1: business winning. At five and one, I just don't believe

1323
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 1: the Bears are that good. At four and two, I

1324
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:15,640
Speaker 1: think the Rams are right where they need to be.

1325
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 1: But in that NFC West, the Rams must must keep pace.

1326
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna eat Have the Cardinals at five and two

1327
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:26,559
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks at five and one, or the Seahawks

1328
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 1: will be at six and ozho the Cardinals at four

1329
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 1: and three. You can move in the second place all

1330
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:32,719
Speaker 1: by your lonesome, with a little help from the Seahawks.

1331
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 1: But the Rams a gotta get a win at home

1332
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 1: at SO five. I think they'll do it. Jared Goff,

1333
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 1: I think bounces back when he has seen the Bears before.

1334
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 1: The Bears flustered and you know what out of him?

1335
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 1: I think this week, Jared Goff is on track, He's

1336
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:50,040
Speaker 1: on point, and the Rams knock off the Bears. They

1337
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:55,679
Speaker 1: win this game seventeen to seven and atcha cover six

1338
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 1: points spread. So there you go. A few teams on

1339
01:17:58,439 --> 01:18:00,840
Speaker 1: the buy it won't be playing the offense. They'll have

1340
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 1: two a tongue violoa next week, so I'm excited to

1341
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 1: see what they do, and a few others. But there

1342
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,680
Speaker 1: is your week in the NFL. Okay, we got one

1343
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 1: segment left, so it's time for Drew's final word this week.

1344
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 1: It's with that man Titus Howard. Let's hear from the

1345
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 1: Big Fella next and do some Texans Audio jukebox as well.

1346
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 1: To finish up the show, what are the experts predicting

1347
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 1: about this week's big game? Extra Points Saturday nights at

1348
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 1: ten thirty or after the late local news on ABC thirteen.

1349
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:34,760
Speaker 1: So we got one final segment this Friday edition of

1350
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:38,639
Speaker 1: Texans All Access from the Texans Radio studio. I am

1351
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 1: your host, John Harris, football analyst and sideline reporter, and

1352
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:47,040
Speaker 1: we are less than forty eight hours away from Texans

1353
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 1: the Packers. It hasn't happened in four years. If you

1354
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:52,639
Speaker 1: remember that twenty sixteen battle that was up in Green

1355
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 1: Bay in the snow at Lambeo. Unfortunately, Texans lost twenty

1356
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 1: one to thirteen. At Jordy Nelson touched down was the

1357
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:03,720
Speaker 1: big one, and that one the last time the Packers

1358
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 1: were at NRG. Aaron Rodgers threw six touchdowns on Sunday

1359
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: Night football and it was a blowout. The Texans only

1360
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: lost one game in that run of like what eleven

1361
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:21,479
Speaker 1: ten eleven games, and that one was to the Packers.

1362
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:23,719
Speaker 1: And I remember that being a Sunday night, so excited

1363
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:25,640
Speaker 1: to watch. Oh, this is gonna be awesome. Oh and

1364
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:29,120
Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers just went to work. Holy smokes. Jordi

1365
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:31,559
Speaker 1: Nelson had a big night that night. I mean it

1366
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:36,040
Speaker 1: was brutal. Last time the Texans beat the Packers was

1367
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight as they beat the Packers up

1368
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:44,400
Speaker 1: there at Lambeau. Last second Chris Brown field goal, I

1369
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 1: believe one at twenty four to twenty one. So I'm

1370
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 1: hoping it comes down to a field goal and Kimie

1371
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 1: Fairband and knocked that home and the Texans will win

1372
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 1: forty seven to three. That would be kind of nice.

1373
01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean it would be nice if Kaymie had a

1374
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:00,080
Speaker 1: field goal in a forty seven to three game, But

1375
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna come down to that. I

1376
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:05,040
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a sixty minute down to the

1377
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:08,439
Speaker 1: last play as it has been the last few weeks

1378
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,160
Speaker 1: for the Texans. It's gonna be one of those kind

1379
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:13,800
Speaker 1: of games. But hopefully the Texans will get one to

1380
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 1: go their way. Okay. In a final segment, it's time

1381
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,639
Speaker 1: for Drew's final word. I give him the final word

1382
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:26,599
Speaker 1: of the week. This week it is Titus Howard. Drew takeaway, Titus,

1383
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 1: It's always good to talk with you. The Green Bay

1384
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:31,799
Speaker 1: Packers come to town, and before we get into that matchup,

1385
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:34,760
Speaker 1: the offense has been moving the ball pretty darn well

1386
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. How do you keep that going?

1387
01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 1: And what's been different? Just continue to know to play hard.

1388
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: You know, we gotta established what type of game is

1389
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:44,960
Speaker 1: gonna be upfront. We got d four, He's always gonna

1390
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:49,360
Speaker 1: make plays. You got great seals like Will Kenny, cop Cooks.

1391
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 1: You know, those guys know always gonna make plays, Fat

1392
01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 1: David and Duke in the backfield, you know, so we

1393
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:56,680
Speaker 1: established what type of offerings we can be you know,

1394
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 1: each and every week we start you know early, you know,

1395
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:01,840
Speaker 1: start aster, you know, just played the football where we

1396
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 1: know we can play, we should be good. And with

1397
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 1: that all in mind, as an offensive line, what do

1398
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:08,559
Speaker 1: you think you guys have done well? And what are

1399
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 1: you guys still looking to maybe get a little bit

1400
01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 1: better at these pack of weeks. I think we got better,

1401
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, as far as a passportation giving you know,

1402
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:18,000
Speaker 1: d four more times you know, find open guys. Now.

1403
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 1: I just feel like we just getting better each week.

1404
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:21,840
Speaker 1: Our bun it's getting better, you know, our chemistry, it's

1405
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 1: a team to grow. I felt every week, you know,

1406
01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:25,720
Speaker 1: we can always continue to get better in the path,

1407
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:27,320
Speaker 1: but also I feel like we need to get better

1408
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:28,960
Speaker 1: in the ring game so we can get David and

1409
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:32,679
Speaker 1: do going. Hey, on an individual level, you missed most

1410
01:21:32,680 --> 01:21:34,600
Speaker 1: of the end of last season from about late in

1411
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 1: November on and you come back and it looks like,

1412
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:40,599
Speaker 1: just as an outside observer, each week you have steadily

1413
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:42,959
Speaker 1: gotten better and boy, you kept the likes of Jenevion

1414
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:46,360
Speaker 1: Clowney from wrecking the game last week. How are you doing?

1415
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 1: How has this whole return been for you? Coming back?

1416
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 1: It's been pretty good. My goal like each like I

1417
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,160
Speaker 1: said each week, it said, look and see what I

1418
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 1: did that following week, and to get better on that

1419
01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 1: thing the next week. So each week, you know, I'm

1420
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 1: only continue to you know, get better. That's my goal

1421
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 1: to be the best titles I can be for the team.

1422
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 1: And I think as this season go alone, you know,

1423
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:09,080
Speaker 1: after working doing airstry to work at the practice with

1424
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 1: Laramie and the rest of the old line and coach Devlin,

1425
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think that they helped me a lot

1426
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: as a player, you know, because I missed those games

1427
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 1: and they helped me get that experience this season early

1428
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:20,599
Speaker 1: on the season. See what type of player I want

1429
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, you and I have talked about how

1430
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: you lean on Laramie Tunsel. How much of a coach

1431
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:28,680
Speaker 1: is he in a way? As a teammate, Oh man,

1432
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 1: he's amazing him. Zack Nick, all the older guys, you know,

1433
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 1: they know, even Greg Match you know they you know,

1434
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:36,080
Speaker 1: you can look up to those guys because they play

1435
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 1: a lot of football. And just because me and Larryman

1436
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:40,680
Speaker 1: play the same position where he played left and I

1437
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: played right, you know, I kind of watch everything he

1438
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: does try to see, can I you know, do the

1439
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: same thing or but just do it in my own way.

1440
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 1: But he gave me tips each game each week on

1441
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:52,240
Speaker 1: how to become a better player, and you know see

1442
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 1: what he had to see what the top of the

1443
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:56,120
Speaker 1: season he's having. I'm just only continue to get better,

1444
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: all right. Tell us about this Packers front seven. When

1445
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:01,200
Speaker 1: you look at them on tape, what do you see?

1446
01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:03,720
Speaker 1: What are the challenges there? Man? I just see a

1447
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 1: lot of guys who would like to get out of

1448
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:08,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback. You got Zadarius Smill if you've got prison smell,

1449
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:10,880
Speaker 1: even got Sean Gary, you got clean and Clark coming

1450
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:12,920
Speaker 1: out out up the middle. For us, I feel like

1451
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,639
Speaker 1: this game is gonna be one in the front seven.

1452
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:17,360
Speaker 1: So I feel like we can go up and we

1453
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:19,280
Speaker 1: can do what we gotta do to block those guys

1454
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:20,760
Speaker 1: and get the show at the time he gonna make

1455
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:23,520
Speaker 1: the play, I receive, you got They're gonna make the play.

1456
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:25,960
Speaker 1: So you know we win the one on one battles

1457
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:28,160
Speaker 1: up front because they're gonna give you a lot of

1458
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 1: one on one battles. They do a lot of game

1459
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:31,880
Speaker 1: to do a lot of different types of stuff. But

1460
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:34,080
Speaker 1: that's a great team. You know, we're playing and we're

1461
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:35,640
Speaker 1: looking forward to we got a home game to come

1462
01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:38,120
Speaker 1: out with a win. You know, as a rookie, you

1463
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:40,519
Speaker 1: and the Texans practiced up in Green Bay for a

1464
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:42,639
Speaker 1: few days before you played him in that preseason game.

1465
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:45,600
Speaker 1: Are you able to take anything away from that and

1466
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 1: apply it to the game coming up on Sunday? Or

1467
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:50,640
Speaker 1: is it just simply a long time ago in a

1468
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 1: different team. Where does it stand in that regard? Now?

1469
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:55,000
Speaker 1: You can? You can take a lot from that. I

1470
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 1: can see from my one on one up. So I

1471
01:23:56,920 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 1: took up there with what type of move those guys

1472
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 1: who used to not guys just not all of a

1473
01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:03,800
Speaker 1: sudden it's gonna change, Like what type of passwords moves there?

1474
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:05,679
Speaker 1: I got a couple of rivers going against the Dadarius

1475
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:08,639
Speaker 1: last year. I went a lot against with Sean Gary

1476
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:11,120
Speaker 1: a lot in the preseason game when I was playing

1477
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 1: a left tackle. But with some of the blitzer is

1478
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:14,760
Speaker 1: they're run, you could pick up a lot of stuff.

1479
01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:16,840
Speaker 1: And when we played them in the preseason last year,

1480
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 1: we had the whole joint practice, so I felt that

1481
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,720
Speaker 1: John practice would be pretty useful. All right. Last thing,

1482
01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:24,760
Speaker 1: it's color rush uniforms. You guys get to wear on

1483
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Packers. Do you and the rest of

1484
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:28,519
Speaker 1: the big guys up front like the slimming look? I mean,

1485
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 1: what are y'all's thoughts on those units? I actually think

1486
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 1: those unions are pretty pretty, pretty, pretty fire and nice. Man.

1487
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 1: I love the cold color Rose thing. I wish you

1488
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:39,960
Speaker 1: could do color worsh every week. The color Rush uniforms

1489
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: are nice and I flight it gave the NFL like

1490
01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:45,799
Speaker 1: something like a different feel, like as in the high college.

1491
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,120
Speaker 1: Get all the different cold jerseys and stuff like that,

1492
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 1: and it just made it, you know, so you can

1493
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 1: swag up a little bit more. All right, Titus Howard says,

1494
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:55,920
Speaker 1: they're fire. Are you listening Texans Marketing Department, Titus, best

1495
01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 1: of luck to you on Sunday, knock them dead. I

1496
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 1: hope to see you again very very soon. Yes, Sarah,

1497
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 1: thank you, And then he goes through great stuff from

1498
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 1: Texans right tackle Titus Howard, who I think over the

1499
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:13,920
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks we've seen Titus start to really

1500
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 1: kind of come into his own the first couple of games,

1501
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 1: but you could really tell that he was struggling a

1502
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 1: little bit coming off that knee injury, and look he

1503
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:25,600
Speaker 1: was facing Frank Clark and the opener. Second week it

1504
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:28,560
Speaker 1: was Calais, it was Judeon, it was Ferguson. It was

1505
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:30,680
Speaker 1: all kinds of guys coming off the edge. And then

1506
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:34,160
Speaker 1: week three it was yeah, travel to Pittsburgh and take

1507
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:38,360
Speaker 1: on Bud Dupree and a lot of t J. Watt.

1508
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 1: Have to be careful because I always say t JJJ.

1509
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:45,639
Speaker 1: They're both tremendous rushers, but TJ he had to face

1510
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:50,600
Speaker 1: in week three, and then in Week four against Minnesota,

1511
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:52,680
Speaker 1: had a piece of Jonnick and Gokway. But it was

1512
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 1: in that game against Minnesota I felt like, Okay, he's

1513
01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:57,559
Speaker 1: moving a little bit better. You're starting to see that

1514
01:25:57,640 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 1: movement a little bit better. Like Week one against Kansas

1515
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:03,120
Speaker 1: City a couple of times where like, come on, Titus's

1516
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 1: let's move it just he just didn't have it. But

1517
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 1: you could definitely see it coming together for him the

1518
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 1: last few weeks. And that has been a massive, massive

1519
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 1: thing for this organization to be able to give Deshaun

1520
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:20,200
Speaker 1: Watson time to throw. If Deshaun has time to throw,

1521
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 1: he's got the receivers that get open against man coverage,

1522
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 1: against zone. If he has time to throw, he will

1523
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:28,840
Speaker 1: light you up like a Christmas tree. It's as simple

1524
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 1: is that the only thing in this ballgame is can

1525
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:36,599
Speaker 1: the Texans defense play with enough technique, play with enough

1526
01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 1: discipline to be able to slow down the Packers. Now,

1527
01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:44,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, I would imagine he's gonna play, but he's

1528
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 1: gonna have a calf injury, so he's gonna be slowed

1529
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,479
Speaker 1: at least a little bit. But I don't think David

1530
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 1: Bactier is gonna play. He's doubtful, and if he's out,

1531
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:54,640
Speaker 1: these edge rushers have got to take advantage of not

1532
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:58,000
Speaker 1: just rushing to get to Aaron Rodgers. I'm talking playing

1533
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:01,960
Speaker 1: the run too. This defense against the run has been abysmal.

1534
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 1: But it's not because they're just getting overwhelmed by more

1535
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:09,599
Speaker 1: talent on either side. They're getting overwhelmed because they're not

1536
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:12,839
Speaker 1: doing their job. They're not playing with discipline, they're not

1537
01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 1: being they're not using gap integrity, and they're getting hammered

1538
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:20,200
Speaker 1: as a result. I mean, if you think about it,

1539
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:23,639
Speaker 1: if you take away the big runner and Derrick Henry

1540
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:26,840
Speaker 1: had he ends up the other day with about one

1541
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,760
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty yards. I mean, that's a good day,

1542
01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:31,880
Speaker 1: but it's not a Derreck Henry type day, and I

1543
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:34,559
Speaker 1: guarantee the Titans don't win that game. The Texans win

1544
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:37,559
Speaker 1: that game. But the Texans just jumped out of the

1545
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 1: wrong gap. Actually they jumped out of the right gap

1546
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:43,479
Speaker 1: into the wrong gap. They didn't see things properly, and

1547
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's off to the races now. First and foremost,

1548
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 1: the tacklings gotta be better. But if they tackle better,

1549
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to because all running backs that

1550
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 1: the Packers have, Aaron Jones, Jamal Williams, aj Dillon, they're

1551
01:27:56,320 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 1: all either whip it quick or they're a high house,

1552
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:04,479
Speaker 1: and a very fast moving house at that. So the

1553
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:07,599
Speaker 1: Texans are gonna have their handsful defensively. But that's the key.

1554
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:12,200
Speaker 1: If the Texans give they give the Shawn Watson time

1555
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:15,960
Speaker 1: and they protect against Zadarius Smith, that's the biggest guy

1556
01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 1: to protect against, then Mike Petten's gonna have to roll

1557
01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 1: the dice defensive coordinated to the Packers because he cannot

1558
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 1: allow the Shawn Watson to sit back in the pocket

1559
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:26,920
Speaker 1: and pick his secondary apart. And if Kevin King, who

1560
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:30,840
Speaker 1: was also doubtful at corner, then they're in a world

1561
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:33,040
Speaker 1: to hurt if he's sitting back there and just picking

1562
01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:36,719
Speaker 1: him apart with no King, potentially no no Darnel Savage.

1563
01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:42,680
Speaker 1: Potentially a secondary could get it's beat up and it

1564
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:45,040
Speaker 1: could get taken advantage of. With what Texans are doing

1565
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:46,960
Speaker 1: in the passing game, They've got to be able to

1566
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:49,040
Speaker 1: run the ball. And to be able to run the ball,

1567
01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:50,679
Speaker 1: I think that means a little bit more of Duke

1568
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:53,960
Speaker 1: Johnson to be able to run the ball. But kickoff

1569
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:56,519
Speaker 1: is at noon. We will have our pregame show on

1570
