7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: This is I think the greatest weekend. I don't even

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: sounding really a weekend, but I guess it is in

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: all sports, because yes, the football is fantastic, but you

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: got Maui Invitational going on.

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I watched some of that.

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: You got NBA with the Cup that's happening, and the

13
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: Rockets have been playing really well.

14
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

15
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: I mean I always used to love coming home from

16
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: Brown on this weekend and just sitting in front of

17
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: the TV. My season was over, you know, didn't have

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: to worry about offseason for a while, didn't have to

19
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: worry about when I was a senior, even going back

20
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: and playing football, and just would soak in all of

21
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: the Maui Invitational, the college game games, and of course

22
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: we've got a great one that's.

23
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: Gonna take place at College Station.

24
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: And then of course we've got this little game over

25
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: in Jacksonville that we have to take care of them

26
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: on Sunday as well.

27
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

28
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 3: I love the Maui and I love all this football stuff,

29
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 3: hot and cold, running football all weekend long, all extended

30
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: weekend long. I've actually done a game or done that tournament.

31
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,919
Speaker 3: When I was at U mass we played Cal in

32
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 3: the Maui and they had a player named Tony Gonzales

33
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: on the basketball, Yeah, who ended up being a pretty

34
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: good tight end. Yeah, so that was kind of fun.

35
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 3: They beat us. That was after Caliberry left. But let

36
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 3: me tell you that those tournaments are so special and

37
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: that's like kind of the granddaddy of them all. That

38
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: the Rainbow Classic was big then. I don't even know

39
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: if they still run that one. But I've been there

40
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: once too. I've been there, Vince Carter, I've been there. Yeah, yeah,

41
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: late Vince Carter. Yeah, it was it was cool. It

42
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: was cool to be there. It was cool to be there.

43
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: See North Carolina Purdue with Brian Cardinal was playing for

44
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: a pod of the time. So this is people are like,

45
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: these are old names.

46
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: Vandermere. I know, all right, give me a break, but

47
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: it was wrong. Brian Cardinal had the greatest nickname, the

48
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: human floor burn. That's awesome.

49
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: I was the greatest nickname I ever And when if

50
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 2: you if you're going wait a second, human floor burn,

51
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: Like if you think of floor burn, like this guy

52
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: had him all over his body.

53
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: That's just the way that he played. He was a

54
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: really good player.

55
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: But he was more known for diving his stands for

56
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: a ball, diving on the floor to save one in bounds.

57
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: I mean, he just was kind of the to do

58
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: it all, do everything for a Purdue back in the

59
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 2: late nineties. But the human floor burn, it was such

60
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: a great name.

61
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: Awesome, you know it was. It was fun to do

62
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: those games.

63
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: And it's just fun to be a part of this

64
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: weekend with the Texans capping off Sunday for US anyway

65
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 3: with a noon kick against the Jaguars the teal As

66
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: I'm going to start calling them because I called the

67
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: Colts the Horseshoe. They are now the teal is Tennessee.

68
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 3: I need a good nickname for Tennessee.

69
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: We'll think about it, all right.

70
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 3: I don't want to call them the former Oilers. That's

71
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 3: no good. That's not the thing. But I definitely will

72
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: call Jacksonville, the Teal and Heal, the Titans, the fight Strunks.

73
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: Johnny I began the week saying, many times in Texans history,

74
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 3: we have needed a win, We've thirsted for a win,

75
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: We've been starving for a win, and the Teal has

76
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 3: been there to serve one up to us, and it's

77
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: got to happen again on Sunday. You cannot enter this

78
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: by with a loss, with back to back losses, and

79
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: that would I don't even want to count. That would

80
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: be five of seven. No, no, no, no, no, no,

81
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: no no, it stops here. You beat the Teal, they

82
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 3: are done. Don't give them any sign of life. And

83
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: I look at the numbers and some of them. You know,

84
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: you look at Bigsby, Bigsby's back. Yeah, Bigsby could be

85
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: a bit of a problem.

86
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: Give us an issue last time, bigs b et.

87
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: You know you look at Thomas, other playmakers. You know,

88
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: Trevor has a nice day. No, don't turn it over,

89
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: don't do anything crazy. Stamiko, as you will hear in

90
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: a moment talking about that return game for them and

91
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: for the Texans, how big it is. And you always

92
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: like to point out how long it's been since you

93
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: play on grass and to do it so infrequently, and

94
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 3: I brought that up to him and he's very excited

95
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: about it.

96
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, playing on grass. Players love it. They love playing

97
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: on grass. And we're outside, so outside on grass, Green Bay,

98
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: perfect conditions. And that's the only other one. That's the

99
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 2: only other on the rest of the way. Uh No,

100
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: Kansas City. Kansas City will be the other one. And

101
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: that'll be dirt by then. That'll be hard. Yeah, that's

102
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: their that's their Kansas City dirt by the end of

103
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: the year. So that's what we'll face later. But before

104
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: we get to Demiko, want to hit this breaking news.

105
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: Actually he's breaking news around lunchtime today. Maddi Eberflus, I think,

106
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 2: to no one's surprise, is no longer the head coach

107
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: for the Chicago Bears. So a surprised No, probably not.

108
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: B Is it a good job? I think it's a

109
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 2: great job.

110
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: I think so.

111
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: I want to know how the management structure is going

112
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: to be his pole is going to stay there or

113
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: is he gone too? I want to know because if

114
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 3: I'm let's have a coach like Mike Vrabel, I want

115
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: control over the situation. I don't want a GM telling

116
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: me what to do and then making moves that I

117
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 3: might not approve of. I need I hate to say

118
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: full control, but I gotta say I think he deserves

119
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: a shot. Now he needs a general manager. Every coach

120
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanna and you still need a general manager.

121
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is a general manager, yeah, Bredviach. I mean

122
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: for a long time.

123
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: He's got full control over Hey, I don't want you

124
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: to sign that guy.

125
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: You know. Oh, good idea, GM, nice idea. I like that.

126
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 3: The GM's gonna being creative signings. I found this guy,

127
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 3: found that guy. What do you think? But the coach

128
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 3: who deserves it gets control great and I think Vrabel

129
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 3: deserves that if he wants that job. But again, who

130
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: knows what they are looking for?

131
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: Johnny?

132
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 3: Do they want Ben Johnson? Do you give Ben Johnson control?

133
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: I don't think so. Ben Johnson the offensive coordinator for Detroit.

134
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: So I don't know who they're gonna get. I think

135
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: it's a good job. I think there's a lot to

136
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 3: work with with Caleb he I know eber Flues has

137
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 3: to take all the heat because he's the top guy.

138
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: But Williams has to get that ball. Snap guys, get

139
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: this ball. Snap one thing about yesterday or a couple

140
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: of things, and I know it's been relived all day long,

141
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 3: but as that's happening, I'm thinking, Okay, no one figured

142
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: sack on second down.

143
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: But here we are.

144
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 3: If you're the Bears and we're out of range, not

145
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 3: only do we take a sack, we're out of field

146
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: goal range and we got to get back in field

147
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 3: goal range and we only have a down to do

148
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: it and limited time, so you had to just assess it.

149
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: The coach is could have banged the time out right

150
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: there and just explained everything, because it takes sixteen to

151
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: eighteen seconds.

152
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: To get your field goal. Younedized.

153
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: You could have called time out and then ran some

154
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: kind of hitch whatever you want to run, bang a timeout,

155
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: kick the field goal, hopefully you make it go to overtime,

156
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: or you as the seconds run off, you don't have

157
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: time to do this anymore because you've run out of

158
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 3: time to get your field goal. Unton without a clock stoppage.

159
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 3: So now you're thinking, Caleb, you just got to run

160
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: a play and get us ten fifteen or more yards

161
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 3: so we can bang a time out and call the

162
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: field goal. Caleb didn't do that quarterbacks got to see it.

163
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: Everyone can talk about offensive coordinator, head coach. The head

164
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 3: coach has to send a memo at that point to

165
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: the OC. The head coach doesn't have a direct line

166
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: to the quarterback, does he, Johnny, No, it's the OC.

167
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, So how long was yeah? Yeah?

168
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

169
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: The play caller so they didn't have time to do

170
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: all that. The quarterback's got to be able to see it.

171
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: And look, did you rehearse this exact situation? Maybe not,

172
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 3: but you rehearsed enough situations to tell you this is

173
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: a fire drow. We got to get ten yards in

174
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: a timeout, so let's just do it unlimited time. And

175
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 3: they had plenty of time to get lined up and

176
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: make it happen. They were like wandering around. You know,

177
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: the Lions were celebrating the sack. What was that celebration?

178
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, the crawl or whatever. That's crazy. It

179
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: was crazy. But you got to be able to snap

180
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 3: the ball. You might have been being able to catch

181
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 3: them out sides too.

182
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: You know, who's going to practice that situation from now on?

183
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: Thirty other two everybody, thirty others going to show it

184
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 3: to the guys.

185
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: If he hasn't already. Yeah. I mean it's it's it's

186
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: already there.

187
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it's the thing about it is, it's not

188
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: a difficult situation to think through, Like you took a

189
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: sack banging time out now, you know me. I had

190
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: an issue with the timeout they called earlier in the

191
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: down and series.

192
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, early in this I'm.

193
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 3: On record with the Thanksgiving Group. Johnny Harris right now

194
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: would say, what are you doing calling a time out?

195
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: Because it was third and seven from the three.

196
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: It was third seven from the three.

197
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: So a penalty of delay a game, which is what

198
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: they were looking at, is only a yard and a half, right, Well.

199
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: Take the penalty. It's I mean, that's it. Take the time.

200
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: It's exactly right.

201
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: It looks like we needed it because what Eberflus was

202
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: trying to do at the end of the game, I

203
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: actually don't have a problem with. He was trying to

204
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: get to a point where after the third down play

205
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: he could bang the timeout so they could use the

206
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: entire field and the third down.

207
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: Play you got to run the play right, run the play,

208
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: call the time out, kick the game time, field goal,

209
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: and away you go.

210
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: But it would have been easier if you had the

211
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: two timeouts, which you should have had just called the

212
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: time out, of call the time out after second gets

213
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: set up, you could still save the last timeout, but

214
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: you didn't have that because you called the one back

215
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 2: there that you should never have taken. Now, question SHO

216
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: becomes at that point Caleb banged the timeout. So was

217
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: Caleb calling the timeout or did somebody tell him to

218
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: take time out?

219
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: Or did I refuse run down?

220
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 2: Either way, point being that game yesterday was another in

221
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: a line of winnable games for.

222
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: The Bears, and there have been many, and there have

223
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: been many.

224
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: The hail Mary against the Commanders, the blockfield goal against

225
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 2: the Packers, the deplorable ending of yesterday's games.

226
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: That's three.

227
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 3: Let's just say you get two of them to go

228
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 3: your way. You're not fired at that point. Here's the

229
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: other thing about yesterday. And you and I noticed this.

230
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: If a doone, say, keeps running, it doesn't hold up

231
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 3: on that route. That ball's dropping right into his lap.

232
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 3: He's able to catch that ball. He might score. I

233
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: think he's going to score. I think he could drag

234
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: guys into the end zone. What the momentum he would

235
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 3: have The throw was a good throwt under those after

236
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 3: everything that went wrong. He actually made a good throat.

237
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: He was bracketed. But if a Doonesay doesn't just stop

238
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: his route to look for the ball, he's catching that

239
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 3: ball and probably score.

240
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: Probably walking into the enze because there was there were

241
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: some Honolulu Blue around him, but not in the direction

242
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: that he was going.

243
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: Everybody was moving, Yeah, and he could have momentum could

244
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: have carried him into the end zone with maybe people

245
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 3: making contact.

246
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: Yes, I think that. I think Detroit was as shocked

247
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: as what was going on any about. To be honest,

248
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: I think they were kind of like, what are they doing?

249
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: The good teams win games like that. Yeah, they're exactly right.

250
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 3: They win games and blowouts. They win games like that.

251
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 3: You know, you whatever done your leg in a situation

252
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: the opponent does, and you go ahead and win the game.

253
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: And that's what they've done. And they have one loss

254
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 3: and it's incredible.

255
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: And looking here, Cowboys now five and seven. When last

256
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: tun ROADBA Commanders beat the Giants. Good win for Cooper

257
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: Rush and Cowboys twenty seven to twenty.

258
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: We needed them to win for BCS points.

259
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely so I think we should go up

260
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: in the BCS. There's no question and then in a

261
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 2: night cap, the Dolphins end up losing a future opponent.

262
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 1: We'll see them in a couple of weeks.

263
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 2: Predictable though, Dolphins lose in the cold of Lambeau and

264
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 2: they are now five and seven. They won three in

265
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: a row. Packers get to win. Not too totally surprised

266
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: with that. And then you've got games on Sunday. We'll

267
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 2: get to that end a little bit.

268
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: Now.

269
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: Texas played Jaguars and every single week that we have

270
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 2: a game, Mark sits down with the Miko Ryans for

271
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: a little pregame interview.

272
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 3: And here it is, coach, let's start with the third phase.

273
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: Here is your face, Jacksonville. And the return guys are good.

274
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 3: They could be dangerous in this category, right.

275
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's starting off. They have a really good cover unit, right,

276
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 4: cover unit is really good. They're a really good punter.

277
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 4: We have to try to defeat that. We got to

278
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 4: try to get a big return on these guys. And

279
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 4: it's going to be our guys. How long can we block?

280
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 4: How long can we hold up and make smart decisions

281
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 4: on the return unit and then the kick return as well.

282
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 4: It's going to be about our lane discipline, Like how

283
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 4: are we covering everybody exactly where they're supposed to be

284
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 4: swarming in football, and make sure we get their returners

285
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 4: on the ground.

286
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 3: Okay, now, let's talk about their defense a little bit.

287
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 3: You got to knock these guys out of the way

288
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 3: get the ground game going. They have some good ticklers

289
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 3: on this team.

290
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, really good tacklers especially, you know, their linebackers do

291
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 4: a really good job. Long athletic linebackers that fly around.

292
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 4: Good tacklers. For us, it's just can we consistently sustain

293
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 4: blocks again, That'll be the key.

294
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 5: It's we've been on guys and we've kind of fill

295
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 5: off that time.

296
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: But if we can sustain blocks, especially at the second level,

297
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 4: if we can get on their linebackers and keep a

298
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 4: hat on them to allow Joe to hit the crease,

299
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 4: and we'll have really productive day in the run game.

300
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: All right.

301
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 3: Semi related, maybe it's your first time on grass since

302
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 3: Green Bay.

303
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: How does that affect things? If at all?

304
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 4: Wow, it'll be refreshing toast play football on grass, which is,

305
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 4: you know how you want to play it. But it's

306
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 4: all it'll be good. It's always fun. I think it's

307
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 4: easier on the body as well. When you're playing on

308
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 4: the grass as a little bit more give to it,

309
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 4: you know, just the one thing you hope is just

310
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 4: not a slippery situation.

311
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 5: So you hope.

312
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 4: Guys have good footing in the grass and just play

313
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 4: fast all right.

314
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 3: Offensively, these backs that they have, Bigsby et N, they're

315
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 3: very good and they can get things going on when

316
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 3: they're on their game.

317
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, really really nice one to you know, one two

318
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 4: combo where you know bigs b or ETN. They both

319
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 4: have similar run styles. Biggs By is getting more of

320
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 4: the carries now physical. Really, you have to put your

321
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 4: body on him. If you try to arm tackle this guy,

322
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 4: he's gonna run right through it, right, really physical, strong runner.

323
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 4: And the ETN he's a guy who has the juice

324
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 4: ready to take it to the house. So it's about

325
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 4: eliminating space in the run game, everybody playing their gap,

326
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 4: getting off of blocks and eliminating space. Not giving these

327
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 4: guys even the slightest crease.

328
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: I asked you this from time to time, But the

329
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: passion you want to see plus technique, and sometimes it's

330
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: hard to combine both.

331
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: How do you see that at this point of the year.

332
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely want the technique always want the technique, but

333
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 4: what I want to see from our I want to

334
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 4: see the fire, right tackup. I want to see the

335
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 4: passion for the game, just the love of the game.

336
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 4: Pick up. I know we've been going at it for

337
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 4: a lot of consecutive weeks now without having a break,

338
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 4: and we'll get a break next week. And what I

339
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 4: want our guys to do is just just exhaust everything,

340
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 4: everything that you have. I want them to empty the tank,

341
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 4: leave it all on the field. Play with that fire,

342
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 4: play with that passion, and that'll lead us to victory.

343
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: Sounds great, coach, Thanks a lot of good luck.

344
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 5: Thanks Mark all.

345
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: Right, great stuff as always.

346
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: And if we're gonna have one linebacker or former linebacker,

347
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: we're gonna have the other captain of defense. A Z's

348
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: out Shire These sat down with Drew Doherty. This was

349
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: fun because I saw Drew after the interview and he

350
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: just looked at me and says, I want a ZZ

351
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: to retire a Texan.

352
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: He's so happy with the interview. So here it is.

353
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 6: That's right. Azs is with us now, and Azaz, you're

354
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 6: a captain, your team leader, and first things first, what

355
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 6: must change over what's happened over the last month and change.

356
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 7: Oh man, it's just been some inconsistent football. Truthfully, obviously

357
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 7: we know the potential that we have, but potential if

358
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 7: it's not.

359
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 5: Executed, you know, it means nothing.

360
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 7: So I think everybody in the building understands, like now

361
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 7: more than ever there to see that you have to

362
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 7: have in this league in general, but especially a month

363
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 7: of November December like this is this is where it's

364
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 7: crunch time and you gotta be playing your best ball

365
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 7: and if you're not, you need to figure it out

366
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 7: a sat because you don't have time and losing a

367
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 7: game like how we just lost last week on Sunday.

368
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 7: You know, it was tough, so definitely got to bounce back,

369
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 7: learn from it, and get ready for today's game.

370
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 6: You know, the week of practice we heard wednesday Damiko

371
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 6: Ryan say Man, I was really enthused by what I

372
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 6: saw today. I'm paraphrasing what he said, but he liked

373
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 6: what he saw as a leader. What have you seen

374
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 6: in that regard as far as what went down to

375
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 6: practice and the response after what happened.

376
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 7: Just a whole bunch of guys like with a mentality

377
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 7: and an attitude ready.

378
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 5: To get back to work.

379
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 7: That's the biggest thing is a lot of times, just

380
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 7: as players and even coaches, you know, they like to say,

381
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 7: oh man, this.

382
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 5: Is is a game. Man, it's the best thing in

383
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 5: the world. This isn't a job.

384
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 7: But reality is, this is a business and this is

385
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 7: a profession. And just like anybody who does a profession,

386
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 7: they don't always show up to work feeling good. You know,

387
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 7: some days you show up to work and you don't

388
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 7: want to be there. Some days you show up to

389
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 7: work and you got something else going on at home,

390
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 7: but you still got to do your job.

391
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 5: And I think that's what it's really about.

392
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 7: It's regardless of what's going on, not acting like it

393
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 7: doesn't exist, but realizing that whatever is going on externally

394
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 7: cannot get in a way of you getting your job done.

395
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 5: And I think that's that's the mindset we have to have.

396
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 6: Speaking about getting jobs done in a different regard. Since

397
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 6: the start of week six, you guys have absolutely positively

398
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 6: as a team gotten the job done as far as

399
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 6: getting takeaways versus turning the ball over turnover differential. Just

400
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 6: since the start of week six, Texans are plus twelve

401
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 6: overall on the season, plus nine. Only two teams in

402
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 6: the NFL better on the season than that. What's been

403
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 6: going on taking the ball away though since that New

404
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 6: England game, because every single game you guys have won

405
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 6: that turnover battle except for once, and the only time

406
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 6: you didn't win it, you were even.

407
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 7: It's crazy because it's like it's the same things that

408
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 7: we always preach. And I think it's so crazy because

409
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 7: you understand that they say, you know, what's the definition

410
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 7: of insanity doing the same thing over and over expecting

411
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 7: a different result. But it's like when you can see,

412
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 7: like you can see it come like it was different

413
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 7: plays earlier on in the season, whether it's me dropping

414
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 7: the interception, the two interceptions against the Bills, or like

415
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 7: somebody punching the ball out, but it it hit the

416
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 7: sideline instead of standing in bound. So it's like, you know, like, man,

417
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 7: we just consistently keep doing these same things.

418
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 5: Now the sack is turning into strip sacks.

419
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 7: I mean d Hunt had like three sacks early in

420
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 7: the season where he could have stripped the ball out,

421
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 7: but he just wanted the sacks, so he got the sack.

422
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 7: Whereas now later on, like from really that Patriots game on,

423
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 7: you know, all these guys that are getting sacks are

424
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 7: now turning them into strip sacks. So it's just constantly

425
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 7: just working on your craft, doing the same thing over

426
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 7: and over, and you see the reward and the benefits

427
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 7: start to start to come from it. And that's why

428
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 7: we talk about playing your best late. It's all about

429
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 7: everything coming together.

430
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 6: No doubt, and it's been remarkable seeing what you guys

431
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 6: have been able to do just in that regard as

432
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 6: far as taking the ball away in that span. All right,

433
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 6: let's talk about the Jaguars. The talk in Jacksonville is

434
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 6: they want to run the ball better, they want to

435
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 6: do things better on the ground. Tank Bigsby, Traves YTM

436
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 6: the two backs there, What do you see from them?

437
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 5: What's the present?

438
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 7: I think they're both really good backs, you know, really talented.

439
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 7: Both got a lot of speed, and I think Bigsby

440
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 7: right now is leading the league and yards after contact.

441
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 7: I think he has less than half of the carries

442
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 7: as all the other guys that he's competing with. But

443
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 7: both really two dynamic backs eat can make plays out

444
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 7: of the backfield. I mean obviously as a slasher as well,

445
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 7: and so I think it's just what they're able to do.

446
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 7: They do a lot of everything well, and you gotta play

447
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 7: him well. You gotta be physical, you gotta swarm my

448
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 7: whole mentality, everything that we talk about.

449
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 5: You got to bring everything.

450
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 6: The quarterback is Trevor Lawrence. He's practiced this week, he's

451
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 6: missed the last two games. All likelihood he plays, maybe

452
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 6: he doesn't, but let's talk about Trevor Lawrence because he's

453
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 6: the starter there. What's Trevor Lawrence do well? And what

454
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 6: do you remember about him from the first meeting earlier

455
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 6: this season.

456
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 5: I think you could throw the ball really well.

457
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 7: That's a part of why he was seeing as like

458
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 7: this generational talent coming out, just the ability for him

459
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 7: to throw the ball downfield. I mean, he made a

460
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 7: couple throws in the first game that we played him

461
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 7: that I was like, dang, Like I remember this one

462
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 7: time even I got to him and I thought I

463
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 7: got sack, and he freaking launched the ball downfield like

464
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 7: it ended up being incompletion.

465
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 5: But that's still one of those players.

466
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 7: They're like, dang, Like most other quarterbacks, I would have

467
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 7: had a sack or at least like it would have

468
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 7: been a way more effective play. Whereas he was able

469
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 7: to throw the ball almost forty fifty yards.

470
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 5: Downfield while getting hit in the mouth.

471
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 7: So I think it's little things like that, that toughness

472
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 7: that he has, and even his ability to get out

473
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 7: of sacks and run the ball a little bit, and

474
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 7: just this toughness overall that makes it challenging the play against. So,

475
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 7: you know, I'm always excited, especially when we're going back

476
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 7: to Florida, you know, being from Florida. So I'm always

477
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 7: excited to go back back to Florida and just know

478
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 7: I'm I'm in the state of Florida.

479
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 6: You kind of lead into my next question. What sort

480
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 6: of representation you're gonna have there in the stands fan wise,

481
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 6: you're gonna have to do a lot, a few more

482
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 6: tickets than normal.

483
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, my family is playing it on coming, so I

484
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 7: would be good to see everybody.

485
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 5: I'll be exciting for sure.

486
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 6: Who's gonna be the loudest family member in the stands

487
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 6: that you'll be able to hear?

488
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 5: I already either say my mom or one of my nephews,

489
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 5: which nephew my oldest.

490
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 7: His name is a Mirror and he's like fourteen years

491
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 7: old now, but he's like, my god, he was my

492
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 7: biggest fan.

493
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 6: That's awesome. Uncle is so uncle, Ziz, what's a mere

494
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 6: gonna be yelling? What's your mom gonna be yelling? That?

495
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 6: That sets it apart and you can kind of tell

496
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 6: it's them.

497
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 7: Well, my mom will be yelling stuff that I probably

498
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 7: can't repeat, but the miror he'll probably just be yelling

499
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 7: my name and just be trying to get my attention.

500
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 7: And when I make a place like he's it's so

501
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 7: funny whenever I call him. I always call all of them,

502
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 7: all my nieces and nephews and my mom before the games,

503
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 7: like the night before the day of the game, or

504
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 7: we're in the locker room, and he's always.

505
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 4: Like, oh, that team's not good. Oh I'm like, you

506
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 4: know this a little kid fourteen year olds? Man literally

507
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 4: do not understand like how this works. Everybody's good. It's

508
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 4: the NFL. But yeah, man, he just be cheering me on.

509
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 5: Man. So I'll be happy to see him.

510
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 6: Well, hopefully a mirror. Your mom and the rest of

511
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 6: the crew were talking with you after the game after

512
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 6: Texans victory and one in which you play a fantastic job,

513
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 6: but a Zase, thank you so much for the time.

514
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 6: Best of luck on Sunday against the Jacks.

515
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me.

516
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: Great stuff.

517
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 2: I told Drew before the interview, I said, you ever

518
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: talked to Disease And he goes no, I said you may

519
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 2: talk to him for forty five minutes.

520
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: I said, just get ready because a he's al Shire is.

521
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: One of the guys you absolutely, without question, you want

522
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 2: to have on your team in your community.

523
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: He is. He's tremendous.

524
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 3: That's what you and I came away with when we

525
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 3: talked to him during that production. I've been raving about

526
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 3: him ever since, and every time I see him in

527
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: the hallway, Hey Mark, Yeah, absolutely say.

528
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: We remember we were. Now.

529
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 3: Look, you're not expected to remember everybody's name. I've been

530
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 3: in the Texans for a lot of years, or since

531
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 3: the inception of the franchise, and it's tough for me

532
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 3: to remember everybody in business. Ops here, look at one

533
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty people. Now we've got a little you know,

534
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 3: changeover from time to time. But asease for him to

535
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: know me. He doesn't have to. You know, the support

536
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 3: staff that he works with, the athletic trainers and coaches

537
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 3: and people like that. Yeah, sure me no, but he

538
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: does because he's a he's al Shier. He is a

539
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 3: man among men, and yes, I want him to have

540
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 3: a lifetime contract here some sort.

541
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

542
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely, he is just so much fun to be around.

543
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 2: His story is absolutely incredible. He's a great player, and

544
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: he probably will be challenged on Sunday in a dual

545
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 2: threat way having to stop ETM Bigsby. But then also

546
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 2: in whatever respect, the Jaguars use Evan Ingram. Sometimes he's

547
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: in line tight end, sometimes he's in a slot.

548
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: But we he didn't play last time. It's exactly right.

549
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: I did not miss him, but I know the Jags

550
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: missed him last time.

551
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: The Jags did miss some shot plays. I think I

552
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 2: think back to Week twelve last year. Christian Kirk was

553
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 2: a big, big factor in that game. He is out

554
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: for the season. Gabe Davis went to the Jaguars. He

555
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 2: was a big freegent signing. He is out. So from

556
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: a receiver standpoint, it's Brian Thomas Junior and Evan.

557
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: Ingram, depending on how you want to want to slice it.

558
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 2: So the guys defensively are going to have their hands

559
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: full with those two guys. I would imagine they'll probably

560
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 2: try and take some shots with Brian Thomas down the

561
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 2: field because a Brian Thomas is really freaking fast and

562
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: b We have been giving up the deep shots more

563
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 2: than we should have. So I expect Brian Thomas Junior

564
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 2: to be a big factor in this game. I think

565
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 2: he's gonna get targeted about ten to twelve times. I think

566
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 2: that Evan Ingram will be targeted about ten to twelve times.

567
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: I think Trevor Lawrence is gonna play, and I think

568
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 2: those are the two guys he throws to.

569
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 3: All Right, I know you're gonna do your keys in

570
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 3: the next segment, but one of my big keys is

571
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 3: if you happen to give up a shot play, you

572
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 3: give up a big play.

573
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: Yep, that's not the end of the world.

574
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 3: Just move on, because we all know the other side

575
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 3: of the ball has to do their part. They've got

576
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 3: to score it. You have to outscore the opponent. This

577
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 3: is brilliant analysis. You can only get right here. All right,

578
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 3: so more than theirs.

579
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: But again, you're gonna give up some plays. It's the NFL.

580
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 3: You're going to take some chances and that's just the

581
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 3: way it goes. But you better eat on some of

582
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 3: the other downs, negative plays, takeaways. You lead the league

583
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 3: in takeaways, right now, let's go. Let's have at it,

584
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 3: because that takeaway train has to keep rolling. Look, I

585
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 3: know you've twelve in the last six weeks and you've

586
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 3: gone two and four. That is weird, that's ridiculous. You

587
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 3: should have at least gone four and two leading the

588
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 3: well with what is it twelve?

589
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: You have twelve?

590
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 3: You'r plus twelve plus twelve in the last six weeks.

591
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 3: That's insane. But it will eventually find its level. Okay,

592
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 3: you're gonna win more than you.

593
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 2: Lose as long as as long as you keep making

594
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: those plays, as long as you keep turning teams over.

595
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: And Jacksonville is a team that does turn the ball over.

596
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 2: They're minus eight in takeover margin. We played them in

597
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: Week four. Prior to that game, they had zero takeaways,

598
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: zero takeaways. Some wow, Now they'll be sixteen giveaways and

599
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 2: eight takeaways, so they've they've kind of made up some time.

600
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 2: But still those the defense that's ranked near the bottom

601
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: of almost every defensive category, and they've got some talent

602
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 2: on that team.

603
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 3: Some of the numbers with the Jaguars are appallingly bad,

604
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 3: and their fans should be livid that they are.

605
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: Going through this right now with that kind of talent.

606
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 3: You started the segment with what do you think of

607
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 3: the Bear's job as a head coaching vacancy? And if

608
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 3: we just go that versus either known openings or projected openings,

609
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 3: let's say for purposes of argument, that Peterson's gone in Jacksonville.

610
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 3: I still think Jacksonville is a pretty good job. Looking

611
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: for the cons, I know Tony wants to sign undrafted

612
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 3: free agents, I get it, But if you can just

613
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 3: entertain Tony in the draft room, yeah, Tony, okay, Yeah,

614
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 3: it's son.

615
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: A kicker, a long snapper. That's your job. You know.

616
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 3: If I were the new GM, because in this hypothetical

617
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: they'll have a new GM of the Jaguars, I would

618
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 3: do my best to schedule an All American wrestling event

619
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 3: the night of the draft.

620
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: The night of the draft.

621
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 3: It didn't stop it on Saturday night, So Tony, I

622
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 3: know it didn't. Did he have an event that Yes,

623
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 3: it was Saturday night. Many you kept going it was ridiculous.

624
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 2: I mean it's you know, look, cons can do whatever

625
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: they want their their mind, of course, but.

626
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: You know it, you will find the McNair's doing that.

627
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 3: Hannah is not on the phone signing undrafted free agents.

628
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: No, she's not. They don't do this well.

629
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 2: They and that's the thing because they understand that they've

630
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 2: hired people to do that.

631
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 3: Can you imagine being Doc Peterson and Trent Balkey and

632
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 3: and the owner's son is making phone calls to try

633
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 3: to sign guys. Come on, Johnny Football. People are like,

634
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 3: what I when I saw that, I've seen the segment.

635
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 3: You have to see this segment. It's all I think.

636
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 3: It's on NFL Film's presents.

637
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 2: And they did like a twenty four hours with Tony

638
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 2: Kahan and Tony the night before the draft started, they

639
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: did an aw event and he got power bombed, which

640
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 2: essentially is like not it's not a body slam, but

641
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: it's like a head slam.

642
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: Okay.

643
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 2: And so the next day he showed up with the

644
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: old school like Brady Bunch neck brace, you know, like

645
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: the phone neck brace, and he wore that throughout the

646
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: entire draft, and they were filming him in the draft

647
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 2: room and the guys I remember seeing on the NFL

648
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 2: network were like what, they didn't get it because they

649
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: didn't understand one person up there I think knew about

650
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 2: out to the AW thing. And so they start talking

651
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 2: through it and the rest of the guys are incredulous

652
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: to it. But then the segment went on NFL Film's

653
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 2: Presents and started talking about Tony. He was kind of

654
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 2: a cutaway and he's like, yeah, yeah, I really pride

655
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: myself on going out and signing undrafted free agents, and

656
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 2: every year one of my undrafted free agents has made

657
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: the team.

658
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 3: Come on, But he never gave a list of those guys, Robinson,

659
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 3: he never talked about any names.

660
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 2: And then they showed him leaving the draft room, walking

661
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: across the parking lot, going to Jacksonville vettersmil Colseum which

662
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 2: I don't know what it's called now and doing aw

663
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 2: event over there. And then they showed a little while

664
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 2: later showed Shot Cohn is dad.

665
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: Going over there? Is that what the iceman play the

666
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: Jackson Yeah. Yeah, they've they've really improved that place. They've

667
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: got a game tomorrow night there.

668
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got a game, because the place where we

669
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 3: want to go watch the Longhorns.

670
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: I tried to get a resie there.

671
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 3: They said, we don't do Rezi's, but you'll probably be

672
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 3: in good shape because a lot of seats will empty

673
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 3: out when people go across the street to the Iceman.

674
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: Interesting.

675
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, that place is owned by the brother of one

676
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 2: of my former students. Oh really yeah, so Ben Davis

677
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,080

Speaker 1: but not not like not like I like.

681
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 3: If I were there, hypothetically we're there for a primetime game.

682
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,959
Speaker 3: You will remember play preseason because they're in the division.

Speaker 2: He used to be the president Chavor Commerce, one of

698
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 2: one of the one of my great friends and one

699
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 2: of the best people I've ever known, and I coached

700
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: his kids, and Alex went to dinner with us. You've

701
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: met Alex, and I mean just the sweetest, nicest family.

702
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: His wife Diane was just just such an angel.

703
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: I taught.

704
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: His older sister and I taught Alex. And Tip was

705
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 2: a huge fan of mine. Tip would have gotten us

706
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: anywhere like he would have He would have done anything

707
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: for us.

708
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 3: Late Sawgrass once a night game was it was the

709
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 3: thirteen with the night game. No, No, it was for

710
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,719
Speaker 3: the Gator Bowl with the Hurricanes. Oh, because we were

711
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: there for.

712
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: Like a week or whatever. You played Georgia Tech. Right,

713
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: We played Bill O'Brien's Georgia Tech. Right.

714
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 3: I remember that an assistant coach on that team, Gatzi,

715
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 3: was on that team.

716
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: I thought that I was supposed to go to that game,

717
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: and then something happened and I was not able to

718
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: go because I went to a bunch of Gator balls.

719
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 2: I'll tell you my favorite Gator Bowl story. You'll love

720
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 2: this one. It was West Virginia, North Carolina. So it

721
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 2: was like nineteen ninety six, and so you know West

722
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: Virginia fans, they traveled try pretty well.

723
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: So you know back then the bowl games matter.

724
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 3: He's always been East acc back then, that's why it

725
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 3: was Hurricanes.

726
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 2: And so so my wife and I decided to go

727
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: because my wife's from North Carolina. I love going football

728
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 2: games to matts Man Heaven, We're gonna go. So we're

729
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 2: sitting up in the stands and about three rows in

730
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 2: front of us, we keep seeing.

731
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: This line of people like, like, what are they doing?

732
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 2: We couldn't couldn't understand what they were doing, and so

733
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 2: I said, I gotta go to the bathroom page. I'll

734
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: be right back, but I'm also gonna check and see

735
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: what they're doing. A West Virginia fan had snuck a

736
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 2: keg into the game.

737
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: Oh what, Yeah, that's so western.

738
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 2: I don't know how they did it, but they snuck

739
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: a keg into the game and they had it sitting

740
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 2: on a seat, and the fans knew, and they were

741
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 2: coming up with their red solo cups and they were kiddings.

742
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: From West Virginia without being I've ever seen.

743
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 2: It happened right there at the Bank as they call

744
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: now EverBank Stadium.

745
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's West Virginia fan.

746
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 2: And then a security guard came up with a cop

747
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: and told them that they had to leave and you

748
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: could see them like taking the keg down the stairs.

749
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: I was like, how did they get the keg in

750
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: the game?

751
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: And so my wife and I had discussion for about

752
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 2: twenty minutes like, Okay, they probably dressed.

753
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: It up and put it in a wheelchair. You said

754
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: what they did, like, how are they baby? Big? Yeah?

755
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: How'd they get the keg in the game? A very

756
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: big baby covered up here, and no idea how they

757
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: pulled it off.

758
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: But people kept coming up and that's how long line

759
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 2: was they were coming up to get beers.

760
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: It was absolutely incredible.

00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: But here with Houston and talking about football is one

783
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: of my favorite things to do in life, especially talking

784
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 2: about the keys to a game. I've been doing these

785
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 2: for about twenty some odd years and did it as

786
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 2: soon as I got into building here with the Houston Texans.

787
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: So let's get to it. It's give me some music

788
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: because I don't get me hyped as I do this,

789
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: and I'll.

790
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 2: Talk about the keys to win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Okay,

791
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,959
Speaker 2: let's start with just kind of overall thought. Where the

792
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 2: Jaguars are. They've lost four in a row, lost the

793
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 2: Packers close. That was I think Malik Willis if I

794
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 2: remember correctly, you think Jordan Love got hurt and Malik came.

795
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: In either way, and they lost.

796
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 2: The Eagles traveled through an interception late in the game,

797
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 2: they lost by five. They lost to the Vikings by five,

798
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, it just imploded against

799
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions, losing fifties fifty two to six in Detroit.

800
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 2: Trevor did not playing those last two games. Trevor Lawrence

801
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: is on track to play in this game, announced by

802
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson earlier today that even though he's dealing with

803
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 2: an ac joint spray. Now I can speak to an

804
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 2: ac joint sprain. It is some of the worst pain

805
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: I've ever had playing any kind of sport. And I

806
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 2: severed the nerve in my finger. I had concussions of

807
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 2: ankle sprains. I mean, you know, you name it. I

808
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 2: had everything but broken bones. That ac joint sprain is

809
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 2: a son of a beat. It is miserable. But Trevor

810
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 2: has worked himself back. He missed two games, he had

811
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: the bye week, so he is ready to go. Trevor

812
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: Lawrence will be your Jaguars starting quarterback on Sunday. Jacks

813
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: are average one hundred two yards per game on the ground,

814
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: that's twenty fifth in the league. They're only average one

815
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,719
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty nine yards through the air, it's twenty seventh.

816
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 2: That number would be a lot higher had Trevor hit

817
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 2: some deep balls against the Texans in Week four. He

818
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 2: had a couple of three opportunities missed them that he

819
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: cannot do. The text the Jaguars. I throw nine picks,

820
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 2: seven fumbles lost through minus eight turnover margin.

821
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: So let's talk about his offense.

822
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 2: First of all, I didn't do a key because of the

823
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: time I didn't know whether Trevor was going to start.

824
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: I figured he was going to But what I did

825
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: was I thought through, if Trevor does start, who.

826
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 2: Ends up being a key? What ends up being a key.

827
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 2: The first one is Evan Ingram. Evan Ingram didn't play

828
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 2: against us. He is tight end, really a name only,

829
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 2: and he'll line up there, but he's not really a

830
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: tight end. He doesn't really block like a tight end.

831
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 2: He gives good efforts, he's willing, but.

832
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: He's not a tight end.

833
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: He's a pass catching, big pass catching wide receiver for

834
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: the Jaguars. He missed our first game, but he's back.

835
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 2: He came back in a game against the Bears. He

836
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: has been targeted forty five times since and I think

837
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 2: six games, so that's like seven and a half targets

838
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 2: a game. He is a guy that Lawrence relies on heavily,

839
00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 2: and with no Jalen Peatrie for us at safety, that.

840
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: Probably means they're gonna probably pick it that a little bit.

841
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 2: Whether it's a he's a Shire, whether it's Jimmy Ward,

842
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 2: or whether it's Kaylen Bullock, Eric Murray the safety's lineback,

843
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 2: They're gonna go to Evan Ingram a bunch. I think

844
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: Evan Ingram is gonna see eight to ten targets. I

845
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: think another guy's gonna get eight to ten targets. We'll

846
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 2: talk about him in a second, but Evan Ingram, I

847
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 2: think we'll get eight to ten targets. Texas have got

848
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 2: to do a good job of tackling him in space.

849
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 2: He's really good after the catch, really good. Texas wll

850
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 2: miss Jalen Peatree. And one of the main reasons why

851
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 2: is Evan Ingram now McKee number two is actually a

852
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 2: Texas daneil Hunter. The Vikings traded for Cam Robinson a

853
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 2: few weeks ago, who was a Jaguar starting left tackle

854
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: Houston native Walker Little, a twenty twenty one second round pick,

855
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 2: will It has been taking over. He's been banged up

856
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 2: throughout his CREB, but he's healthy and one healthy he

857
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 2: can be a solid pass protector. But he's seeing a

858
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 2: guy that is on a heater right now. Daniel Hunter

859
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 2: has been unbelievable. Last week three five TFLs Titans could

860
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 2: not stop him. I think they will struggle again with

861
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 2: him finally. Brian Thomas Junior. If there's something that Texans

862
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 2: defense has as an achilles heel, it is their inability

863
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 2: to take away and completely eliminate explosive plays.

864
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Junior is inexplosive play waiting to happen now.

865
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 2: Back during the draft, everybody thought, well, you know, he's

866
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: kind of a one trick pony. He just kind of

867
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: runs deep and they throw it to him. He's a

868
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 2: really big athlete. He is a complete wide receiver. He's

869
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,399
Speaker 2: one of the better rookie wide receivers I've ever seen

870
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 2: up close and in person. He can't be a major

871
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 2: major problem for the Texans, and I don't want that

872
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 2: to happen, but I think that could be the case.

873
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 2: So will the Texas travel Derrick Stingley Junior with Brian

874
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 2: Thomas Junior.

875
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: Two LSU guys will they go out at one on

876
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: one and they'll play everybody else.

877
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 2: Straight up because there is no Christian Kirk, there is

878
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 2: no Gabe Davis. There's a Tim Joe and Devin Duverney.

879
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 2: But those guys really kind of pay in comparison to

880
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: the other two. So I think that Trevor will get

881
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 2: the ball to Evan Ingram, You'll get the ball to

882
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior.

883
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: And you gotta know that going in.

884
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 2: And if the Texas Texas can slow those two down,

885
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 2: and they've got a really good chance to keep this

886
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 2: Jaguars offense out of the end zone and go get

887
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: a win against the Jaguars.

888
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: All right, slipped it over to this defense now.

889
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: Ryan Nielsen took over this defense former Falcons defensive coordinator.

890
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 2: I thought this defense would be better, just purely better.

891
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 2: They're given up one hundred and thirty six yards per

892
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 2: game in the ground. That's twenty six in the NFL.

893
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: Passing yards allowed per game two hundred and seventy eight,

894
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: it's last.

895
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: In the league. And they're given up four and fourteen

896
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: yards per game that's last in the league.

897
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 2: They've only generated eight turnovers, so they're minus eight and

898
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 2: turnover margin. The last time we played them week four,

899
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 2: in the first three games they didn't even turnover a

900
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 2: team they were zero. But they've got pieces back, and

901
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 2: one in particulars Tyson Campbell.

902
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: In the game we played because Foyer.

903
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 2: Lucon who will be back as well, was out, Ventro

904
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: Miller got to play and the Jags were like, oh

905
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 2: my god, they found one hundred bucks in their pocket.

906
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: With Ventro Miller.

907
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 3: It's now.

908
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 2: Ventro Miller has been a stud with the Jaguars defense.

909
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: So let's get into the keys against him, and I

910
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 1: start with Foyer Luacun.

911
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 2: Even though Ventro Miller has given them a lot in

912
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 2: when Foyer was out and Devin Lloyd.

913
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: Has done some good things, I still think this.

914
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 2: Defense revolves around twenty three Foyer Luca and with Ventro

915
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 2: Miller and with Devin Lloyd. This linebacking group looks ten

916
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 2: times better than it did even in Week four, and

917
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 2: that bothers me.

918
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: So if you see twenty three run.

919
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 2: Stuff down from behind and tackling Joe Mixon because we

920
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 2: can't get a.

921
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: Hat on a hat early in the game. It's not

922
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: a good thing.

923
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 2: Texans need to get a body on twenty three.

924
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: Occupy him.

925
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 2: Let Joe Mixon then do his thing, make cuts off

926
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: of those blocks and run the ball at one hundred

927
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 2: and thirty six yards per game.

928
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: Clip as the Jaguars are giving up.

929
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 2: But they didn't get a hat on fifty one last time,

930
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 2: Ventrel Miller. They better get one on twenty three. They

931
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 2: better get one on both of them. The guy to

932
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 2: control the down guys first. We'll get to them a

933
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 2: little bit, but keep it eye on twenty three and

934
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 2: fifty one. If they are running to the ball and

935
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 2: nobody's getting hats on them, they'll make plays all day. Secondly,

936
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: I mentioned the fact that the Jaguars are last last

937
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 2: in the NFL in past yardage given up two hundred

938
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 2: and seventy eight yards per game, and last week Jared

939
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 2: Goff lit them up. Now, there's been a lot of

940
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: scuttle bud about CJ nationally and even some locally.

941
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you that CJ. Stroud is a godsend.

942
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: He is the absolute one player we need to have

943
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,280
Speaker 2: in this building for a number of reasons.

944
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: If you want to call it a slump or you

945
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: want to call what it is.

946
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 2: He hasn't been protected this year, and because he hasn't

947
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 2: been protected this year, it's probably impacted a lot of

948
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 2: throws that could have been there for a lot more

949
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 2: yards and a number of a number more touchdowns. He's

950
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 2: gotta be protected. We'll get to a little bit more

951
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 2: of that. That's said.

952
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: They can blow up this Jaguar secondary. They really can.

953
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 2: With Tank, with Nico Metchi playing well, get x a

954
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 2: big play, tight ends catching the ball, they can. They

955
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 2: can go for two seventy eight plus on this Jaguar secondary,

956
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 2: and they need to. Now Tyson Campbell's back, that's gonna

957
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 2: help them a little bit. Darnell Savage is back at safety.

958
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: But I still think they can light that secondary up.

959
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: But if they don't, there's gonna be a reason. And

960
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 2: it leads me to the final key, and that's that

961
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 2: defensive front. Everybody knows about Josh Hein's Allen and Treyvon Walker.

962
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 2: They do a good job on the edge, but Texans

963
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 2: tackles Titus Howard, Lenmert Tunssel have done a decent job

964
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 2: and pass protection, but it's the interior and that's where

965
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 2: Devon Hamilton has done some good things lately.

966
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: That's where Eric Armstead can rush from.

967
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 2: This Interior's gotta have as good a game as it's

968
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 2: had all year. Juice Scruggs, Jared Patterson, Shack Mason. The

969
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 2: spotlight will be on those three players. I can promise

970
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 2: you the spotlight will be on them because if they

971
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 2: protect better, then CJ.

972
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: Strad will light the Jags up. It's that simple.

973
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 2: If they don't, CJ can still light them up. But

974
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 2: he's gonna have to put the cape on to be

975
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 2: able to do it, and he's.

976
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: Done it before. But I'd rather him not have to.

977
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 2: I'd rather CJ take his steps, final receiver, throw it

978
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 2: and not have a jaguar breathing down his throat.

979
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 1: Now, it's gonna happen at some point because the Jags

980
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: o blitz.

981
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 2: If they're not getting pressure, a guy will get beat

982
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 2: every now and again.

983
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: But it can't happen repeatedly.

984
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 2: They have got to have the game of the year,

985
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 2: put points up on the board, go into.

986
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: The bye week, get some rest to be ready for

987
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: the Final four.

988
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 2: But that interior offensive line has all the pressure on

989
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: it this week.

990
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 1: CJ is the quarterback everybody thought he was last year.

991
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 2: He just run into some bumps in the road because

992
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 2: he has been tortured with pressure, torture with pressure since

993
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 2: the Packers game for multiple reasons. Now, He'll tell you

994
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 2: a hasn't played very well and he's thrown some interceptions,

995
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 2: like the interception to Kenth Murray last week.

996
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: He said it that was bad throw. It was bad throw.

997
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 2: But there were a lot of really, really good throws

998
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 2: he didn't get credit for last week because he didn't

999
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:21,959
Speaker 2: have time to throw.

1000
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: He had receivers open, he can hit them. He needs

1001
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: a little time.

1002
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying he's got to sit back there

1003
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 2: and make forty throws and forty times he drops back.

1004
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 1: He's not gonna get pressure. No, he's gonna get pressure,

1005
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,959
Speaker 1: but it can't be forty eight percent of the time.

1006
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: That's got to change. And if it does, Texas blow

1007
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: him out.

1008
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 2: It doesn't, it'll be game all the way into the

1009
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,439
Speaker 2: fourth quarter that I don't want to see.

1010
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: I'd rather see a nice little blowout.

1011
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 2: Okay, we get back. The injury slash status report is out.

1012
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 2: Who's in, who's out. I already told you about Trevor Lawrence.

1013
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 2: He will be in with that ac joint for the

1014
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars. But who is out for your Texans? Who

1015
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 2: was out for the Jaguars. We'll talk about that next

1016
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 2: Right here in Texas Access Stats Challenge is brought to

1017
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 2: you by SLB. Check out Houston Texas dot com for

1018
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 2: information on the Stats Challenge, presented by our friends at SLB.

1019
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Today's number.

1020
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 2: And I try to think I got a number of

1021
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 2: them in my head, but I think the number I'm

1022
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 2: going with is nine.

1023
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: The number is nine. That's our stat.

1024
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 2: The Texans have nine straight AFC South.

1025
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: Road game wins.

1026
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:39,240
Speaker 2: Said it again, nine straight AFC South Road game wins.

1027
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 2: So this takes us all the way back to twenty

1028
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 2: twenty one season. We beat Tennessee in the rain, then

1029
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 2: we beat Jacksonville in the rain for the final two.

1030
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 2: We lost Indy earlier in the year, but we won

1031
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 2: those two. Then we swept twenty twenty three. In fact,

1032
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 2: we were three and fourteen, but we won all three

1033
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,479
Speaker 2: games on the road in the division. Twenty twenty three

1034
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,760
Speaker 2: again won all three games in the division on the road.

1035
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 2: And then at twenty twenty four, we started off the

1036
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 2: season with the Colts went over the Colts in Week

1037
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 2: one on the road.

1038
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: That's nine. It's pretty damn impressive, to be honest.

1039
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 2: With you, with some of the troubles that we had

1040
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 2: from twenty twenty through twenty twenty two, to be able

1041
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 2: to have nine straight road wins in the division, that's crazy.

1042
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 2: Sundays game will be at Jacksonville, where we have won

1043
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 2: every road game. If you want another number from SLB,

1044
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 2: here's eight. Eight of nine. I've been on the sideline

1045
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 2: starting in twenty fourteen. That's why our little old streak

1046
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 2: started against Jacksonville. We have won every time in Jacksonville

1047
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 2: since except for once. That was twenty seventeen now twenty nineteen.

1048
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 1: We went to London.

1049
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 2: We beat them there too, So eight of nine. The

1050
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 2: only time was that lost to That was a brutal loss.

1051
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 2: That was a really good Jacksonville team that won a

1052
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 2: division at twenty seventeen. We have won every other time.

1053
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 2: COVID twenty twenty yep, the year they wanted a vision

1054
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 2: at twenty twenty two, yep.

1055
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: Beat him earlier in the year last year in week three, YEP.

1056
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 2: So all that being said, uh, we've got eight of

1057
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 2: the last nine in Jacksonville, so a lot going on

1058
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 2: with those numbers. Brought to you by slb Okay, let's

1059
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 2: get into the status report for this one. It's pretty

1060
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 2: for week thirteen, it's pretty close to being well somewhat impeccable.

1061
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 2: I guess the only three players that are out, and

1062
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 2: I think we know one. We knew one of them,

1063
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 2: and guess that another one. Especially on the Texans side,

1064
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 2: we knew Jalen Petrie be out. He's dealing with that

1065
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 2: shoulder issue that he injured last week, so he'll definitely

1066
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 2: be out.

1067
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: Fully thought of.

1068
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 2: Cassi would love to face his former team, but unfortunately

1069
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 2: deal with that foot injury. He is also out. So

1070
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 2: you got two guys out in one question book. Xavie

1071
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 2: Hutchinson going back to his hometown, going back to Jacksonville,

1072
00:45:59,120 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 2: he is questioned.

1073
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: That's it.

1074
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 2: Will Anderson in? Did he go Autry in? They were

1075
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 2: both full participants on Friday in practice. That's good news.

1076
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: They are in.

1077
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 2: Also, Blake Fisher is back after dealing with a concussion.

1078
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 2: So five out, ninety one out, that's it. Questionable. Xavier

1079
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 2: Hutchinson Hopefully x will be ready to play. I know

1080
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 2: he wants to his hometown over on the Jacksonville side. Yes,

1081
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 2: Sir Abdullah is out dealing the hamstring. Linebacker Trevor Lawrence

1082
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:33,760
Speaker 2: is questionable, but Doug Peterson said today that Trevor will play.

1083
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 2: So been expecting Trevor Lawrence to play all along. Tank

1084
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: Bigsby is back, Brandon Sheriff.

1085
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,240
Speaker 1: Is also in. He'll play through. It is a Warriors.

1086
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: That's it.

1087
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 2: Five players with designations, that's it. Three out, Patacasi Petrie

1088
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 2: on the Texans side, Abdullah out on the Jacksonville side,

1089
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,280
Speaker 2: too questionable, Xavier Hutchinson on the Texans side, and Trevor Lawrence,

1090
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 2: even though dealing with that ac sprain on his left shoulder,

1091
00:46:58,880 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 2: he is questionable.

1092
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: He's going to play. So there you go. There's your

1093
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: status report for Sunday. All right, we get back.

1094
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk to our buddy Jonathan Alexander from the

1095
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 2: Houston Chronicle to kick off our second hour Texans All

1096
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 2: Access day.

1097
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: Right where you are? What's happened? Everybody?

1098
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 2: We got one hour now, one hour left to go

1099
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 2: right here on a Friday edition of Texans All Access.

1100
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: Glad you are here with me on his Black Friday.

1101
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 2: Got a lot of stuff to do in this second

1102
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 2: hour to feel good Friday, so we'll get to Demico

1103
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 2: Ryan's a little later, but every Friday we get a

1104
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 2: chance to sit down with Jonathan Alexander from the Houston Chronicle.

1105
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I've really enjoyed getting the opportunity

1106
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 2: to catch up with Jonathan. He does a great job

1107
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 2: carving a team and the stuff for the Chronicle, and

1108
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 2: at the very end he'll tell you about the Texas Insider.

1109
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 2: And as a subscriber to the Chronicle, I get it

1110
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 2: to my email every week and it's awesome. I love

1111
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:53,280
Speaker 2: seeing just right there, just nuts and bolts, and maybe

1112
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 2: sometimes I don't even know about the team, just seeing

1113
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 2: what Jonathan's got to say about them.

1114
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: So definitely want to check that out. But check this out.

1115
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 3: Stout at Alexander with Mark and myself in studio with

1116
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 3: us from the Houston Chronicle. Jonathan Alexander, Jonathan, how's it going?

1117
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 3: Happy Thanksgiving?

1118
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 8: Happy Thanksgiving to you. This is my favorite holiday, so

1119
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 8: I'm ready for it.

1120
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 3: Well, we're still digesting, and we're digesting the Texans having

1121
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 3: lost four of their last six games, which is hard

1122
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 3: for me to say. I'm too full to say it,

1123
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 3: but it's happened, but they can do something about it. Sunday, Jonathan,

1124
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 3: your thoughts on the current state of the franchise.

1125
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 8: Yeah, last week's game against the Titans was probably as

1126
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,919
Speaker 8: ugly as I've seen it, just the simple fact that

1127
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 8: almost every side of the football played a bad game.

1128
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 8: You know, the defense uncharacteristically gave up all those explosive plays. Offense,

1129
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,479
Speaker 8: we saw more of the same from the second half

1130
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 8: performances that they've been putting on, and even the special

1131
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 8: teams with Kyamie Fairbrong missing that twenty yard kick. I

1132
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 8: think this is a game they have to win. I

1133
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 8: think they're in desperation mode right now.

1134
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 2: Okay, So that being said, Jonathan, there are a lot

1135
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,479
Speaker 2: of things that have to get fixed. But what one

1136
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 2: thing do you go, this has to get fixed on

1137
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 2: Sunday or else.

1138
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 8: That's a great question, because I was actually thinking about

1139
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 8: that a few minutes ago. I think the offense in

1140
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 8: the second half has to get fixed. Yeah, and I

1141
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 8: hate to say this, but you're coming into a bye

1142
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 8: week and you're playing against the worst defense in the league,

1143
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 8: or one of the worst defenses in the league in

1144
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 8: the Jaguars, another division opponent. If the Texans put on

1145
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 8: a performance like they did last week, then you will

1146
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 8: see some changes heading into the bye week. You know,

1147
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 8: I've been on the record saying that I don't see

1148
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 8: Demico making any changes, but that changes if they lose

1149
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 8: to the Jaguars and put on another bad performance in

1150
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 8: the second half, and that's some I think a lot

1151
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 8: of intends will be up and a lot of people

1152
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 8: are on edge around NRG Stadium this week.

1153
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 3: How perplexing is it to you that with Joe Mixon

1154
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 3: and it's not just him, it's obviously blocking and things

1155
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,240
Speaker 3: like that, because I got a feeling if their holes,

1156
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 3: mixing is going to find them. But just the running

1157
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 3: game in general, it's feast or famine. Some days it's

1158
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 3: just not there at all. Other days it's there, plentiful.

1159
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 3: But you're looking at a situation where, hey, even against Tennessee,

1160
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,720
Speaker 3: if you had seventy seventy five yards rushing, you probably

1161
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 3: win the football game.

1162
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,800
Speaker 1: It's just kind of strange that way. Yeah, it is strange.

1163
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 8: I mean, coming in, we knew that the Titans had

1164
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 8: one of the better rush defenses in the league. Jeffrey

1165
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 8: Simmons is obviously one of the best run stoppers in

1166
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 8: the NFL, but for Joe Mixon to have twenty two

1167
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 8: yards and fourteen carries was just not normal. And the

1168
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 8: offensive line currently is not playing consistently as they should.

1169
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 8: I do think Kenyan Green was a better run blocker

1170
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 8: than Juice Scruggs. Now I've see Kenyon had his issues

1171
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 8: in the passing game. I do think that hurt a

1172
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 8: little bit, and they're still trying to figure it out.

1173
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 8: But they're gonna have to find some consistency.

1174
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 9: They have to.

1175
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 8: That is their identity on offense, running the football with

1176
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 8: Joe Mixon, Texans are at their best when they're running

1177
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 8: it well, so they have to figure that part of

1178
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 8: their game out.

1179
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 2: Johnathan earlier in the year, when teams were hitting a

1180
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 2: few explosives on the TECH since I thought, especially the

1181
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 2: coltsal first came, I thought that, you know, look that's

1182
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson.

1183
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: He had a few over the top.

1184
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 2: Bill Pears's kind of a go get him down to

1185
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 2: field kind of receiver. But they haven't really stopped. That's

1186
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,240
Speaker 2: a pretty big concern, I think. But you know, big plays,

1187
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 2: sometimes it can be one guy getting busted. It can

1188
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 2: I think the other day the Calvin Ridley one is

1189
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 2: probably the one that worried me the most because the

1190
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 2: rush wasn't able to get to Will Levis and Ridley

1191
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 2: just ran by everybody at the very end.

1192
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: And Levis was able to find him.

1193
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 2: With the explosive plays that teams have been getting against

1194
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 2: the Texans, A is it a bigger issue than I'm

1195
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 2: thinking it is? Or is it something that you think

1196
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 2: they can maybe clean up going forward, especially with though

1197
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 2: Jalen Petrie now they got to kind of reconfigure the

1198
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 2: safety Nickels sort of situation.

1199
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: Is there too much to be made about it?

1200
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 2: Or do you think you know it's something that they'll

1201
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 2: start to curtail here as we get as we finished

1202
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 2: the season.

1203
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 8: I don't think it's too much to be made about

1204
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 8: it because you look at the play, especially the one

1205
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 8: where they scored in between Derek Stingley and Eric Murray. Yeah,

1206
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 8: that was one that teams have run against the Texans.

1207
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 8: Even the play with Jimmy Warred got scored on. That's

1208
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 8: another play. I think teams are seeing that the Texans

1209
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 8: are susceptible on film, and there have been times where

1210
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 8: they've made plays, but there have been times where they

1211
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 8: haven't and even a couple of times Trevor Lawrence tried

1212
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 8: to take that shot against him. Jicks Allen tried to

1213
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 8: take that shot against him and just didn't just didn't connect.

1214
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 8: So I think it's an issue there. I think the

1215
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 8: Texans were hoping that the pass rush would solve a

1216
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 8: lot of those issues, and it has, but it can't save.

1217
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 5: You every time.

1218
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 8: There are going to be times where the pass rush

1219
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 8: doesn't get there, So they have to be a lot

1220
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 8: smarter and play that that defense a a lot better

1221
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 8: to prevent those exposive shots because exposive shots are when

1222
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,720
Speaker 8: they open up things for the offense. You saw once

1223
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 8: Will Levis hit those explosive plays, the Titans offense was moving,

1224
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 8: they were running the ball with more efficiency. So the

1225
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 8: Texans have to figure that out, all.

1226
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 3: Right, Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars, the numbers are not pretty,

1227
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:07,399
Speaker 3: They're downright awful, and it's just inexplicable. As tough as

1228
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 3: it is to figure out the Texans offensive issues in

1229
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 3: the second half, the Jaguars issues everywhere very difficult to

1230
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,439
Speaker 3: understand and analyze. What is your analysis of what they've

1231
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 3: been going through?

1232
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just think they don't have a lot of

1233
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 8: confidence in what the offensive staff is preaching over there.

1234
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 8: They don't have I don't think they have a lot

1235
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:31,439
Speaker 8: of confidence in their head coach in Peterson. I think

1236
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 8: a lot of people are losing faith in Trevor Lawrence.

1237
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 8: And I think you're just starting to see a trickle

1238
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 8: down because they have a lot of talent. You know,

1239
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,439
Speaker 8: Trevor Lawrence is a talented player. Even their new wide

1240
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 8: receiver Brian Thomas is a talented player. Oh yeah, Travis

1241
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 8: et In is going through a rough patch. I think

1242
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 8: he's a talented player as well. I just think the

1243
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 8: confidence around that program. I don't get a sense that

1244
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,280
Speaker 8: they get along and it's had a trickle down effect

1245
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 8: and they're just playing bad and and just to get

1246
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 8: blown out like that in their last game. Those things,

1247
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 8: especially get started with that Lions game, right to get

1248
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 8: blown out like that time and time again, those have

1249
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 8: a trickle down effect and they'll start to affect you,

1250
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 8: which is why did Texans really need to win this game?

1251
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 2: So Colts go to New England. Anthony Richardson gets back

1252
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 2: in the lineup. He looks tremendous against the Jets. I

1253
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 2: was thinking about the Jets thing. I got really mad

1254
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 2: today as I was walking in my car thinking about

1255
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 2: how the Jets have been a mess for the last

1256
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 2: couple of years and yet they still beat us both times.

1257
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 2: Either way, he has a great game against against the Jets,

1258
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,240
Speaker 2: then he faces the Lions last week and the Lions

1259
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 2: have a really good defense.

1260
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 1: They had some guys out. He doesn't look as good.

1261
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 2: So it's the same kind of Anthony Richardson experience of

1262
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 2: riding the wave. Now it's the Patriots are the Colts,

1263
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 2: well the Colts do with Anthony Richardson at this point?

1264
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 2: Is he the future? I can imagine he's gotta be.

1265
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 2: But we were thinking when Flacco came in that, well,

1266
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 2: Richard's gonna have to fight for his job. How do

1267
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 2: you go look at the Anthony Richardson situation in Indianapolis, Jonathan.

1268
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, Like we've talked about it, Anthony Richard doesn't have

1269
00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 8: a tony experience, and I think he's gonna have to

1270
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 8: learn from reps. But I think one of the things

1271
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 8: that the Coats can do, and I saw them do

1272
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 8: the opposite against the Texans, is they can run the

1273
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 8: ball more often and earlier with Jonathan Taylor Jonathan Taylor

1274
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 8: in his elite talent. I remember the Texans game they played.

1275
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 8: I don't know if it was the first or second.

1276
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 8: I think it was the second one for sure, But

1277
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 8: they were having success running football and then they went

1278
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 8: away from it. And I think too often, I think

1279
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 8: Shane Stichen just gets too caught up in the passing game.

1280
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 8: You know, that's his forte, and he forgets he has

1281
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,320
Speaker 8: one of the best runners in the league, and the

1282
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 8: running back has come back. You know, you have to

1283
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 8: have an effective running game to be successful, and I

1284
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 8: think if the Colts can figure out how to marry

1285
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 8: that running game with Jonathan Taylor and mix it up

1286
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 8: with Anthony Richardson, then I think you take some of

1287
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 8: the pressure off of Anthony Richardson. He can perhaps flourish

1288
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 8: a little bit better.

1289
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 3: All right, same question Johnny asked you insert Will Levis's

1290
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:52,280
Speaker 3: name here and the Tennessee Titans.

1291
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1292
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 8: I was actually impressed with Will Levis. You know, I

1293
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 8: had the impression of him his rookie season, and you know,

1294
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 8: I know he's had some moments this year with the turnovers.

1295
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 8: I think that's the thing for him. If he can

1296
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 8: cut back on the turnovers I think he can be

1297
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 8: a starter in this league. Now, is he a franchise

1298
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 8: caliber player. No, I don't believe that. I still see

1299
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,280
Speaker 8: deficiencies in his game, but he looked really good against

1300
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 8: the Texans, and obviously he has the arm. We all

1301
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 8: knew that he can take off with the football if

1302
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 8: he can limit the turnovers, and I see him almost

1303
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 8: around the same Ilkiss Anthony Richard. I think Anthony is

1304
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 8: a little bit of a better thrower when he's on,

1305
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 8: but if he can take care of the football and

1306
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,840
Speaker 8: not have so much pressure on him, I think he

1307
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 8: can help the franchise get to being okay, but I

1308
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 8: think they need a little bit more to be a

1309
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:40,720
Speaker 8: really good team.

1310
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,320
Speaker 2: Monday night, we had the Hardball Bowl, that's hard to

1311
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 2: say sometimes, Hardball Bowl, Harbor Bull Hardball Bowl with the

1312
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 2: Chargers taking on the Ravens out in LA. The Ravens

1313
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 2: came out of there with the victory that put them

1314
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 2: at eight and four.

1315
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,240
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Stuglers are eight and three.

1316
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 2: The AFC North to me is I don't know all

1317
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 2: over the place in a sense because the Pittsburgh Steelers

1318
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 2: have the lead in division.

1319
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: But I think the Ravens to me. Even though the

1320
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: Steelers beat the Ravens.

1321
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 2: Like, I get it, that gave us a Pittsburgh I

1322
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 2: feel like the Ravens are the better team. Plus, how

1323
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:15,359
Speaker 2: about next week we have AFC North Hard Knocks. Yes, oh,

1324
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 2: it comes out for the first time December third. So

1325
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 2: at that point, who would scare you more? The Steelers

1326
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 2: or the Ravens if you had to face them in

1327
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 2: a playoff game? You know, we gotta face the Ravens

1328
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 2: on Christmas Day, But who would be more dangerous, the

1329
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 2: Steelers or the Ravens.

1330
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 8: You know, that's a good question because I think the

1331
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,919
Speaker 8: Steelers and the Ravens have opposite problems. Like I think

1332
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 8: Russell Wilson has done a good job so far, but

1333
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 8: he doesn't scare me as a quarterback offensively, but their

1334
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 8: defense is playing phenomenal.

1335
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 5: They're keeping them in games.

1336
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 8: On the other hand, the Ravens, their defense has not

1337
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 8: been good at all this year, but they have two

1338
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 8: of the most dangerous players in the NFL and Lamar

1339
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 8: Jackson and Derrick Henry. Yep, so that team would scare me.

1340
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 8: I think the Texans. It could be a shoe doubt

1341
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 8: between the Ravens, but I think Lamar Jackson is just

1342
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 8: he's going to be the MVP this year, and he

1343
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 8: is the best player in the NFL. And anytime you

1344
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 8: have the best player along with one of the best

1345
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 8: offensive players alongside you, that makes it difficult.

1346
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 3: It'll be interesting because the Ravens and Steelers are going

1347
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 3: to play, and then I think the Barkley Lamar Jackson

1348
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 3: MVP battle.

1349
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: Will be on full display.

1350
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 3: And I think Saquon Barkley is going to get a

1351
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 3: lot of love here because I think a lot of

1352
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 3: people would love to give it to a running back

1353
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 3: if possible. You mentioned it, Jonathan, the running back is back.

1354
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 3: Squon Barkley having an amazing year come up is going

1355
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 3: to lose his mind. Lose his mind, Johnny. That's right.

1356
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 3: Jonathan Alexander with us from the Houston Chronicle before the season.

1357
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 3: Did you have a published record prediction of the Houston

1358
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 3: Texans season.

1359
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 8: Yes, I think I predicted them to be eleven and six.

1360
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 8: I predicted them to be six and four out of

1361
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 8: that stretch, lose to the Ravens and Chiefs, and win

1362
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 8: the rest of the games. I did not made them

1363
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 8: lose into any of the Titans games. I did not inter.

1364
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: You had six and four.

1365
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 8: I had six and four. I had them losing the Lions,

1366
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 8: and I didn't have them losing to the Jets. Okay,

1367
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 8: maybe I did have them losing to the Titans, but

1368
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 8: I had them six and four going into Dallas.

1369
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 3: Yes, Okay, Well, here we are at seven and five,

1370
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 3: and I think the Titans game made all record predictions

1371
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 3: from here on out. All Right, I don't know what's

1372
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 3: gonna happen, right, because if you can lose to them,

1373
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 3: you can lose to anybody. And we all know this

1374
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 3: about the NFL anyway. But to get to last season's

1375
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 3: win total, you gotta go three and two, and that's

1376
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 3: gonna be tough, right, you can do it. We all

1377
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 3: want to see them do it. We all want to

1378
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 3: see them get going, especially in that gauntlet of those

1379
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 3: three really tough games and a short amount of time.

1380
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 1: But what are your thoughts on the finish? Here? We

1381
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 1: can look ahead, they can.

1382
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 5: We can.

1383
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1384
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 8: So the Dolphins five weeks ago looked like an easier game, yeah,

1385
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 8: and now it was not. You know, I think the Texans,

1386
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 8: depending on how they finishing it the Jaguars. If the

1387
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 8: Texans can beat the Jaguars handedly develop some confidence. I

1388
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 8: do think they can get two out of three of

1389
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 8: the three tough three game scratch fight Dolphins, Ravens and Chiefs,

1390
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 8: and then they'll beat the Titans.

1391
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 5: I think they'll beat the Titans at the end.

1392
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 3: Well, if that happens and they can't improve their status,

1393
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 3: they're standing, if you will, maybe they rest guys against

1394
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 3: otase regular season, and I'd love to have that before.

1395
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, be there that before. Yeah, it'd be nice.

1396
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 8: And they can lose that game. But you know, I

1397
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 8: see deficiencies. We talk about it often. I see deficiencies

1398
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 8: in the Chiefs. They almost lost to the Panthers with

1399
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 8: one of the worst teams in the league, so they

1400
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 8: can be beaten. The Ravens again, I think their defense

1401
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 8: is weak. So I think the Texans can beat those teams.

1402
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 8: I think they should beat the Dolphins. Dolphins can beat them,

1403
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:49,439
Speaker 8: but I think there are opportunities there if they get

1404
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 8: back on tracking and get their confidence going.

1405
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: Jonathan, what do you have going on in the chronicle

1406
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: for us?

1407
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 8: I got story uh Sunday on CJ.

1408
01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 5: Stroud, who you know.

1409
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 8: I think it's taking a a lot of the blame

1410
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 8: and he's the second year quarterback I think everybody has

1411
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 8: to put back into focus that he's twenty three years old. Second,

1412
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 8: there are ups and downs that happen with quarterbacks. He's fine,

1413
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 8: but looking at what it's like being a twenty three

1414
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 8: year old and having the pressures of being the franchise

1415
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 8: face at such an early age, and it's something that

1416
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 8: he wants to take on. But it comes with his

1417
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 8: you know, positives in his negatives.

1418
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 1: All right, Jonathan, thanks a lot for joining us.

1419
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 2: We appreciate it, thanks for having me stakgiving so obviously

1420
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 2: we give thanks for a lot of people, a lot

1421
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 2: of things.

1422
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stuff.

1423
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 2: We definitely give thanks to Jonathan Alexander for joining us

1424
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 2: every single Friday, but very gracious with his time, and

1425
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 2: really appreciate him being on with us. Now, this is

1426
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 2: a little less than a full week in the NFL,

1427
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 2: but everybody's playing. So even though there were three games

1428
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 2: on Thursday night and there was a game on Black Friday,

1429
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 2: there's all kinds of games on Sunday, cluding your Texans.

1430
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 2: I will pick them all straight up and against the

1431
01:01:57,760 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 2: spread for fun.

1432
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 1: It's a fun way to talk about.

1433
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 2: The NFL games and a fun way to talk about the

1434
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 2: NFL do that next right here on Texans All Access.

1435
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:06,439
Speaker 1: All right, here we go.

1436
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 2: It's Predictions Time right here on a Friday edition at

1437
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 2: Texans All Access from Monday Texans Radios Studio.

1438
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, football analyst. Sad'm reporter and I.

1439
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 2: Love, love love Prediction Time, love it. I predict games

1440
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 2: straight up and against the spread. And on Thursday, no sorry, Wednesday,

1441
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 2: Mark and I did a kind of abreviated version and

1442
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 2: we got the Lions game right. We said Mins win,

1443
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 2: but the Bears will cover. That's exactly what happened. We

1444
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 2: said the Cowboys would cover and beat the Giants. We

1445
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 2: got that right. And we got the Packers game right

1446
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 2: because we said the Packers would win and cover against

1447
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 2: the Dolphins.

1448
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 1: So we're three zero to start the weekend. But Mark's

1449
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: out here. It's just me to predict these games for

1450
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 1: the rest of the weekend. So give me some music.

1451
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 2: Yes, I won't sing, although it would be kind of

1452
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 2: fun to try and talk sing through my prediction, but

1453
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 2: I can't sing, so I'm just gonna pick these games.

1454
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 2: So my music's rolling, and let's go. Colts are going

1455
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 2: to New England. Colts five and seven Patriots three and nine.

1456
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 2: Colts will be without a couple of receivers Ashton Dueling

1457
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 2: Josh Downs. That could hurt them a little bit, but

1458
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna hurt them enough to lose

1459
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 2: this game. So the Texans are gonna keep pace. The

1460
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 2: Colts win. Texans gotta win any of the Texans to

1461
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 2: win regardless. I do think the Patriots can keep it close.

1462
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 2: I do think that, But Indianapolis favored by two and

1463
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 2: a half. That's about where I put it. I would

1464
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 2: think Colts win by three. So let's give the Colts

1465
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 2: a win and a cover in New England. Not that

1466
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 2: I want it to happen, but it's going to happen. Okay,

1467
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 2: Steelers taking on the Bengals. I find it's fascinating. Steelers

1468
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 2: are eight and three, the Bengals are four and seven.

1469
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 2: They're playing in Cincinnati. Cincinnati's favored by three. It's crazy

1470
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 2: to think about, but I think the Steels are gonna

1471
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 2: bounce back. They've had a week to kind of, you know,

1472
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 2: lick the wounds, if you will, of taking that loss

1473
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,520
Speaker 2: last was it Thursday? That was Thursday in the snow

1474
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 2: against Jamison Browns. I think the Steelers will bounce back

1475
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,439
Speaker 2: and win this game. They're obviously an underdog, so they'll

1476
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 2: cover that number. I think so much has been made

1477
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 2: about the Bengals. They just can't win close games. So

1478
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the Steelers to win this one.

1479
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 2: Although I wouldn't mind seeing the Steelers lose to get

1480
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 2: to eight and four, but I just don't.

1481
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: Think it will happen.

1482
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 2: Steelers are gonna win this thing on the road against Cincinnati.

1483
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 2: The Chargers are going to take on a Falcons. This

1484
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 2: is a sneaky hot game. This is a really sneaky

1485
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 2: hot game. The Chargers played well against the Ravens, not

1486
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 2: well enough, but well against the Ravens.

1487
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: But now after a Monday night, now it's a short week.

1488
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 2: Now they gotta fly across country. I've seen the negative

1489
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 2: body clock not work, especially with the Chargers. Even this year,

1490
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 2: seen a lot of West Coast teams go win noon

1491
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 2: games over on the East Coast or one o'clock on

1492
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 2: the East Coast. The Falcons are coming off of bye,

1493
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 2: so they're rested, they're ready for the Chargers.

1494
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: The Chargers are favor by one in Atlanta, and I.

1495
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 2: Do think the Chargers are a better team overall than Atlanta,

1496
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 2: but I think when you factor in long trip, short week,

1497
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 2: Harboll's gonna have him ready. But I think in the

1498
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 2: end of Falcons are gonna find a way to win

1499
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 2: this game. And I wouldn't mind it see a.

1500
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: Charger fall to seven and five NFCAFC. I'm always going

1501
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 1: to the NFC, but.

1502
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the Falcons in a mild upset

1503
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 2: here because charge fair by one is basically.

1504
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 1: A pick them.

1505
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 2: Let's go Falcons to win this thing and obviously cover

1506
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 2: getting an upset at home. The Seahawks are taking on

1507
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 2: the Jets. Jets quarterback is still Aaron Rodgers for now.

1508
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 2: Seattle's fair by a half point in New York and

1509
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to think about this game.

1510
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 2: If I'm being honest, if I were to flip a coin,

1511
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 2: it would probably come up Jets barely. That's such a

1512
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 2: mess there. I don't know what to think, but you

1513
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 2: know what, let's do. Let's go with the Jets. It's

1514
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 2: basically a pick them. Let's go with the Jets to

1515
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 2: win that thing at home. One last salvo for Aaron

1516
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 2: Rodgers and then it will be done. Okay, Cardinals Vike

1517
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 2: is this so I said sneaky hot game was Charters

1518
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:06,280
Speaker 2: Falcons right there, and maybe just the hot category is

1519
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 2: Cardinals taking on the Vikings. This would have been a

1520
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:10,919
Speaker 2: hotter game if the Cardinals had won the game last

1521
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 2: week against Seattle, but they did not. They're six and

1522
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 2: five coming in face the Vikings nine and two. The

1523
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 2: Vikings are favored by three and a half. The Vikings

1524
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 2: did sign Daniel Jones, he won't play. It's Sam Donald,

1525
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 2: and I think the Vikings will win as a result

1526
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 2: of Sam Donald because Sam has played very very well.

1527
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 1: So let's go Vikings to winness.

1528
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 2: Thing by six thirty to twenty four at home.

1529
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: Vikings get the win and the cover Titans taken on

1530
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 1: the Commanders. Well we all know the Titans did last week, right.

1531
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to take on the Commanders. The Commander's on

1532
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 2: our couple game losing streak here hoo. I want the

1533
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 2: Commanders to win the Commanders fairy bout five and a half.

1534
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 2: I don't think Levis will have the same deep ball

1535
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 2: luck and accuracy, whatever you.

1536
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 1: Want to call it.

1537
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 2: I think Commanders will win this, will win this by

1538
01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 2: a touchdown twenty four to seventeen in the command will

1539
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 2: help us out, but knocking off the fantasy South team

1540
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 2: Bucks Panthers. Panthers have played much better. Bryce Young was

1541
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 2: very good last week. Bucks will still win this game.

1542
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,680
Speaker 2: They're favorite by six at Carolina. I think Bryce keeps

1543
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 2: it close for a while, but in the end of

1544
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers win thirty four to twenty four. It's a

1545
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 2: winning a cover for Baker and Tampa Bay. The Rams

1546
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 2: are taking on the Saints. The Rams just can't get

1547
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 2: it over the top the Saints. They're all over the map.

1548
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 2: I think the Rams are gonna win this thing. They're

1549
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 2: favored by two and a half. It's about right. I'm

1550
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 2: thinking twenty eight to twenty four Rams. That's a cover

1551
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 2: for the Rams in a win for the Rams in

1552
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 2: an afternoon, delightful game. The Eagles are taking on the

1553
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 2: Ravens in Baltimore. Baltimore favored by three. These teams are

1554
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 2: gonna slug it out. I mean slug it out. This

1555
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:46,959
Speaker 2: is as good a game as it gets. We won't

1556
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 2: see it because we'll be on a plane coming back,

1557
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 2: hopefully with a win over Jacksonville. But I'm gonna go

1558
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 2: with the Ravens at home to win this thing thirty

1559
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 2: one to twenty four Eagles. I'm sorry, Ravens get to

1560
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 2: win and the cover even though short week going to

1561
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 2: Ravens forty nine Ers, Bills, great game at night, Bills

1562
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 2: at home, fair by seven. I think they'll win this

1563
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 2: thing by seven, honestly, but we'll go Buffalo to get

1564
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 2: the win in the cover against the forty nine Ers.

1565
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 2: It's kind of been a mess right there, Browns and Broncos.

1566
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 2: I want the Browns with the Broncos to win that

1567
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 2: thing and cover the five and a half. So there

1568
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,000

Speaker 2: talking about a win over the Jaguars.

1584
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: Hopefully. It's got a lot of work to do to

1585
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 1: get there.

1586
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 2: Now, to get there, there are a lot of things

1587
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 2: that have got to happen. This past Monday was one

1588
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 2: of our favorite, one of my favorite discussions with Timiko Ryans.

1589
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 2: There are a lot of things that we got into.

1590
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 2: I know the guys who were at Portreo six ten.

1591
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 2: We're talking about those things this week. In particular, my

1592
01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 2: question about the twenty four hour rule where you got

1593
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 2: to forget a loss, forget a win, gotta move on

1594
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 2: to next week. To Meeko had a different answer. He

1595
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 2: gets into that here. Because it's a field good Friday,

1596
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 2: and even though the Texas lost last Friday or last Sunday,

1597
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 2: still hearing from Dmiko Ryans makes me feel good. So

1598
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 2: we're gonna hear from the man himself right here on

1599
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 2: a field good Friday with Tamika.

1600
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:49,800
Speaker 3: Ryans joining us in studios. Head coach Tamiko Ryans coach,

1601
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 3: how's it going.

1602
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 5: Good to see him, Good to see you guys as well.

1603
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving week. We'll get to that in a moment.

1604
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:57,759
Speaker 3: Let's review a little bit about what happened against Tennessee.

1605
01:09:57,800 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 3: And I know you want the guys playing loose and

1606
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 3: making plays like they did. How do you balance that

1607
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:04,640
Speaker 3: out with trying to correct some of the mistakes at

1608
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 3: the same time but keep that big play making ability.

1609
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 5: And we had a lot of you know, explosive plays

1610
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 5: being made.

1611
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 4: I mean, no bigger Damien opening the game with a

1612
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 4: big return what we wanted to do in the return

1613
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 4: game and we knew it was therefore, so for him

1614
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:20,839
Speaker 4: to get the explosive k to get the touchdown.

1615
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 5: What a way to open the game.

1616
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 4: There are a lot more explosive plays we made with

1617
01:10:24,120 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 4: Nico with Tank like, we have the explosive playmakers, right,

1618
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 4: we can protect it and give us the opportunity to

1619
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:33,720
Speaker 4: have those plays, but we just have to make sure

1620
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:36,880
Speaker 4: we clean up all the things in between and all

1621
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,679
Speaker 4: those things when it comes to the mistakes and things

1622
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 4: that happened for us, it's all things that we can control,

1623
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,200
Speaker 4: and I'm encouraged by when I watched the tape and

1624
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 4: showing our guys, like every thing that happened that was

1625
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:53,680
Speaker 4: a negative, it was something that we did to ourselves.

1626
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 4: It wasn't anything. No slight to the Titans. They did

1627
01:10:57,560 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 4: a good job of finishing and winning the game. But

1628
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:02,400
Speaker 4: a lot of the things we can control, we can

1629
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:04,679
Speaker 4: clean up, and we have to clean it up moving forward.

1630
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 4: And I'm excited to see our guys, you know, take

1631
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 4: ownership of it and make it happen in Jacksonville.

1632
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 1: Coach to Neil Hunter.

1633
01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:16,640
Speaker 2: The last two games, five sacks, eight TFLs maybe so

1634
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,600
Speaker 2: something along those lines. Has been an unbelievable performance what

1635
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 2: he's given you off the edge when you went back

1636
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:25,679
Speaker 2: and watched the film, was it as dominant on film

1637
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 2: as it looked from what we were watching it live?

1638
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 1: Did it look that dominant the way he played yesterday?

1639
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 4: This was the Nil's best game he's had thus far

1640
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:36,600
Speaker 4: this year. It was extremely dominant. And that's what I

1641
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:39,680
Speaker 4: would love to be highlighting right today. It is just

1642
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 4: the performance that he had, Like the rushes that he had,

1643
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 4: not only the rushes. Everybody sees the sacks and those

1644
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:47,680
Speaker 4: things that happened, but and the way he played in

1645
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 4: the run game, the way his effort to the football,

1646
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:54,719
Speaker 4: it was just a phenomenal effort by him, phenomenal game

1647
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 4: by him. Would love to be giving him a game

1648
01:11:56,960 --> 01:11:59,679
Speaker 4: ball right now for what he did, but he continues

1649
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 4: to rank have it for us and just man so

1650
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 4: excited to have him on our side. Such a great

1651
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 4: signing for us, and he's shown up and proving to

1652
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 4: be that impact player that we knew he was.

1653
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 2: Along those lines. Coach, how are you seeing teams start

1654
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 2: to adjust for him? Because obviously you've got other guys

1655
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:18,560
Speaker 2: that can get to the quarterback as well from a

1656
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 2: lot different spots. But how are you seeing teams change? Okay,

1657
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 2: that's fifty five. Okay, we got to do some different

1658
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:25,599
Speaker 2: things to maybe account for him.

1659
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 4: Well, we try to move those guys around a lot.

1660
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 4: We try to move Daniel and Will their different side.

1661
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 4: But what you see teams do is they'll try to

1662
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 4: get a tight end or running back in and they'll

1663
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 4: try to call chip them, so they'll try to give

1664
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:38,759
Speaker 4: him a shot in the chest to slow them.

1665
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 5: Down a little bit.

1666
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 4: But even sometimes on the chips, you know, we kind

1667
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:45,240
Speaker 4: of convert those chips into a game on the inside,

1668
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 4: and Daniel and Will have been doing a really good

1669
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 4: job of not allowing the chip just to stall their rush.

1670
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 4: But they're still continuing to press forward and get after

1671
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 4: the quarterback, even though we're seeing a lot more chips

1672
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:58,160
Speaker 4: than we've seen earlier in the year.

1673
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:00,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're able to get all those sacks, coach, but

1674
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 3: I know you want to do a better job against

1675
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 3: the run by and large. So what were some of

1676
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 3: the difficulties you were having in that aspect.

1677
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the run game where you know Pollard got

1678
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 4: out on us, a lot of the runs were on

1679
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:13,639
Speaker 4: the perimeter where we have to set the edge much better,

1680
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,160
Speaker 4: and a lot of those runs they did a good

1681
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 4: job schematically pinning our defensive end, and now they're getting

1682
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 4: offensive linemen out on our corner, and the corner has

1683
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 4: to step up. Even though it's a bigger body guy,

1684
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:28,120
Speaker 4: you still have to step up and just keep your

1685
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 4: outside on free and turn the ball back inside to

1686
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 4: the rest of the other ten defenders. And so we

1687
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 4: got a couple of runs out like that, and a

1688
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:39,719
Speaker 4: couple of the inside runs we just didn't tackle well.

1689
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:42,799
Speaker 4: One we had we were backed up. We had Pollard,

1690
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:46,640
Speaker 4: I mean tackle behind a line of scrimmage and there

1691
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:48,639
Speaker 4: was just felt like there was just a little let

1692
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 4: up where somebody else thought he was down or you

1693
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 4: thought the other guy made the play. But as I

1694
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 4: try to teach our guys, you always have to finish

1695
01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:58,599
Speaker 4: like you make sure you wrap up, secure the tackle

1696
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 4: and make sure we so some mistackles there and we

1697
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:05,639
Speaker 4: can clean up, and some perimeter runs where he got

1698
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 4: the edge on us.

1699
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 2: Coach, I don't know what I'm about to say is

1700
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 2: a good thing or a bad thing, but I'll let

1701
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:13,320
Speaker 2: you kind of wrong with it. We'll Levis threw for

1702
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy eight yards yesterday. One hundred and

1703
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:18,679
Speaker 2: ninety eight of those yards came on.

1704
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:19,759
Speaker 1: Four pass plays.

1705
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 2: So he had those four completions and you gave us

1706
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:25,640
Speaker 2: some big poss plays, but basically the rest of the

1707
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:29,080
Speaker 2: game he had eighty yards passing. How do you kind

1708
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 2: of look at something like that where he did get

1709
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 2: some explosive plays, but basically everything else with the rush

1710
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 2: and with some of the coverage, you're really hold to

1711
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 2: eighty yards if you don't have those plays. Fortunately he

1712
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 2: did have those plays.

1713
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:42,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, he did have those plays, and I give credit

1714
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 4: to Levis.

1715
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:44,639
Speaker 5: That was his strong suit of.

1716
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 4: Throwing the ball deep, and our guys knew that going

1717
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:50,559
Speaker 4: into the game. But we give up one touchdown there

1718
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 4: once they crossed midfield. I mean, we got a guy

1719
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 4: running free. Our coverage isn't right, We're not deep enough

1720
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:58,840
Speaker 4: on the inside and the guy is free on our

1721
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:01,760
Speaker 4: safety and another one on third down. We get him

1722
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 4: in the third and long situation and you know where's

1723
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:08,720
Speaker 4: Ridley running across the field. Like the rush there, and

1724
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 4: that was the one player our rush wasn't as effective,

1725
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 4: Probably one of our worst rushes of the game from

1726
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 4: a D line perspective. Gave Levis a little bit more time.

1727
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 4: He puts the ball in the air, and we're not

1728
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 4: deep enough at the safety position allowing to get a

1729
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:23,559
Speaker 4: big play.

1730
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:25,840
Speaker 5: So yew most of those plays.

1731
01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 4: Try to give them credit, but a lot of those

1732
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 4: are things where we just have to be in better

1733
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:34,600
Speaker 4: position and we have to be able to make the

1734
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 4: play when the ball is in their.

1735
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 3: You mentioned opening the game with the big kickoff return,

1736
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 3: then you find Stover right away in the end zone.

1737
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:42,240
Speaker 1: Great to see the rookie get his first career touchdown

1738
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:42,760
Speaker 1: and all of that.

1739
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:45,559
Speaker 3: Great start to that game, and CJ made numerous other

1740
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:48,479
Speaker 3: good throws in the game. But sometimes obviously it wasn't

1741
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 3: there as far as it was it pass protection or

1742
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 3: just the opportunities didn't present themselves in the passing game

1743
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 3: to score as much as you wanted to.

1744
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:56,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, we had.

1745
01:15:57,120 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 4: We had a lot of opportunities, and you know, when

1746
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:03,160
Speaker 4: it came down to it in a passing game, like

1747
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 4: there are some misses that we would like to have back,

1748
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 4: a couple like the third down miss or the two turno, like,

1749
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:11,720
Speaker 4: we would like to have those throws back. Those are

1750
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 4: throws I know, and I tell CJ to day app

1751
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 4: I trust that he'll make those throws one hundred percent

1752
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 4: of the time. I put him back in the same

1753
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:22,240
Speaker 4: situation again, and I know he'll make those throws because

1754
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:24,960
Speaker 4: I believe in who he is as a person, and

1755
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 4: I believe in the talent that he has as a

1756
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:30,759
Speaker 4: quarterback leading our team. So some unfortunate mistakes that happened

1757
01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 4: there with the ball placement, but uh, you know for us,

1758
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:36,639
Speaker 4: and I tell you keep going right, you keep going

1759
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:39,599
Speaker 4: after it, you keep on keep playing aggressive, and we'll

1760
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 4: make those story. I thought the olon did a good

1761
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 4: job for protecting. For the most part. We had a

1762
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:46,720
Speaker 4: couple you know, miscues there we got beat but for

1763
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 4: the most part we held up in protection and we

1764
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 4: had time coach.

1765
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 2: The last couple of games we've had Nico back, and

1766
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 2: unfortunately for the second straight game.

1767
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 1: Yes, he has a touchdown.

1768
01:16:56,880 --> 01:17:00,599
Speaker 2: Called back, but it just just feels better when he's

1769
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:01,559
Speaker 2: in the line of them.

1770
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: It because he can make he can catch that dig route.

1771
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 2: He caught it probably about the twenty yard line and

1772
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 2: it's like boom, he at the boosters and he was

1773
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:10,639
Speaker 2: in the end zone.

1774
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 1: And also you have to lead. Of course there's a

1775
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:13,320
Speaker 1: penalty on that play.

1776
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,040
Speaker 2: But what is he what is he giving your offense

1777
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,800
Speaker 2: being back, not just the numbers, but just being out

1778
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 2: there and the threat that he possesses against the defense.

1779
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:25,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's gonna garner the attention of two guys, like

1780
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:27,760
Speaker 4: they have to make sure they account for Nico. Man,

1781
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 4: people fall asleep on how fast Nico is. Like he's

1782
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,679
Speaker 4: he's a big receiver, big target, but man, he has

1783
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:36,720
Speaker 4: he has wills, so he can roll and they're just

1784
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 4: having that thread.

1785
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 5: Of the deep playability.

1786
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 4: It opens up a lot of the intermediate throws in

1787
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 4: the middle of the field that we're able to connect on,

1788
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:47,000
Speaker 4: Like we caught one with Tink going across the middle.

1789
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 4: So Nico just opens up the entire offense, and not

1790
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:51,920
Speaker 4: only the deep threat, but you can give him a

1791
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 4: screen and he can take that to the house as well.

1792
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:58,599
Speaker 4: It's just unbelievable talent. Mean, he's having an outstanding year.

1793
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 4: We just got to make sure it's downs count. Let's

1794
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:04,600
Speaker 4: not hurt ourselves, make sure it's touchdowns count by just

1795
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:05,679
Speaker 4: playing cleaning football.

1796
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:08,639
Speaker 3: You talked about the running game in your press conference

1797
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 3: a little bit, coach, and is.

1798
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 1: It kind of a chicken and egg thing.

1799
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:12,160
Speaker 3: You got to be better on third down so you

1800
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,759
Speaker 3: get more opportunities to run the football, get more snaps,

1801
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 3: more attempts ated.

1802
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 1: Is it that kind of thing in a way?

1803
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:18,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is.

1804
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 4: When we're running the football, like, we have to be

1805
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:23,160
Speaker 4: able to control the line of scrimmage, and yesterday they

1806
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 4: we did not control the line of scrimmage right.

1807
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 5: We wanted to.

1808
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 4: Press the ball outside. We didn't handle the edges well

1809
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 4: enough to get the ball outside. So you saw Joe

1810
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 4: putting the foot of the ground and cutting back, Well,

1811
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 4: we're cutting back right into the teeth of their defense

1812
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:39,720
Speaker 4: into the strong part of their defense where both of

1813
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:42,400
Speaker 4: their detackles are. So you know, we're not gonna have

1814
01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 4: a lot running versus those two guys. So we just

1815
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 4: did it execute on the edge a proper way, and

1816
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 4: we didn't stay on the second level well enough. We

1817
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 4: didn't sustain our blocks, and now you end up you're

1818
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 4: second and long, right, you're third and long, and now

1819
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:58,680
Speaker 4: you're fighting at uphill battle again because now you have

1820
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:00,840
Speaker 4: to run deeper round. I also have to protect a

1821
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 4: little bit longer, and now they're able to put more

1822
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 4: guys in coverage and it's hard to win those now.

1823
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 4: So we got to be able to stay in third

1824
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 4: and manageable or stay out of third down.

1825
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 5: And that's where I want to be, staying.

1826
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 4: Out of third down, and you know, getting those more

1827
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 4: positive plays on first down. But too many times yesterday

1828
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:22,800
Speaker 4: where we go out, we have a big play, we

1829
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:26,880
Speaker 4: have a positive throw completion on first down, and we

1830
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 4: turn around and we're going backwards. So we just have

1831
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 4: to eliminate the backward plays.

1832
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:33,559
Speaker 2: Could you talk about this all the time, the twenty

1833
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,439
Speaker 2: four hour rule, you know, dealing with Wednesday, to you

1834
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:38,200
Speaker 2: go twenty four hours, and you also talk about it with.

1835
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 1: Losses, but in a loss, and we've.

1836
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:42,640
Speaker 2: Got to know you or march on you for a

1837
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 2: little bit longer than I have, But I've got to

1838
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:44,600
Speaker 2: know you.

1839
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:48,759
Speaker 1: I know that the game it's it's you're always thinking

1840
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 1: about it.

1841
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 2: How tough is it to actually apply the twenty four

1842
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:56,680
Speaker 2: hour rule and really let it go before you move

1843
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 2: on and get ready for the jacksonvill jryguars. How tough

1844
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 2: is it to really like, is it really twenty four hours?

1845
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 2: Do you have to like say, Okay, I gotta get

1846
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:04,920
Speaker 2: my mind on something else. I gotta do something else.

1847
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:06,680
Speaker 2: So I've got this one behind me. How tough is

1848
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 2: it to kind of apply that rule for yourself?

1849
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 4: This is extremely tough, and I'm not letting this one go.

1850
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:15,120
Speaker 4: This will be a week long one that I make

1851
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 4: sure we all remember. And so I mean, we gotta change,

1852
01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:21,360
Speaker 4: we gotta play better. So this one is gonna sit

1853
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:23,439
Speaker 4: with me all week until we get the opportunity to

1854
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 4: go out and compete again versus the Jaguar. So I

1855
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:29,720
Speaker 4: want this to sit I want this to sting all

1856
01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:32,400
Speaker 4: week for our guys, and I want everybody to feel

1857
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 4: I know that's how I'm gonna be feeling all week

1858
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:37,440
Speaker 4: until we were able to go and change it.

1859
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 3: It's the second time you face them and they're coming

1860
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:40,639
Speaker 3: off the buy.

1861
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 1: What about that aspect of it?

1862
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,320
Speaker 3: A team coming off a buye because they do self

1863
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 3: scout or whatever else they do. I know they can't

1864
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 3: go wholesale different, but there's gonna be some wrinkles maybe.

1865
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:51,240
Speaker 1: How do you look at that kind of thing?

1866
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:51,679
Speaker 5: For sure?

1867
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:54,080
Speaker 4: Coming off a bye, you do have the advantage being

1868
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:55,919
Speaker 4: the team that's on the buy. You have an advantage

1869
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 4: to look at yourself see kind of like you say,

1870
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:00,639
Speaker 4: self scout, to see things where you can proved, things

1871
01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:02,760
Speaker 4: you can change. And they had a little extra time

1872
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 4: to watch us, right, and so a little extra time

1873
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 4: to scout us and see where we're weak, what areas

1874
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 4: they can to try to attack us in. So you

1875
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 4: really have to be be on it. Nothing different for

1876
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:16,559
Speaker 4: us to do. We just got to go out and execute.

1877
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:18,760
Speaker 4: But for them, they may have some more wrinkles. But

1878
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 4: I always believe and if we play our rules the

1879
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 4: proper way, if we execute and we're on the details

1880
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 4: how we're supposed to be on the details, and it

1881
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 4: really doesn't matter how much they've studied or how much

1882
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 4: they watch, they still have to cover twelve and that's

1883
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:34,599
Speaker 4: always a difficult matchup no matter what adjustments you make.

1884
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:38,280
Speaker 1: So face them earlier, now you face them again. Trevor

1885
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 1: Lawrence hasn't played for a few weeks.

1886
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:42,560
Speaker 2: I know we talked about it when we're facing the

1887
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 2: first time, and what type of quarterback he is. Now

1888
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 2: he's been out for a few weeks and we really

1889
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:48,800
Speaker 2: don't know if he's gonna play or not. He's dealing

1890
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:51,759
Speaker 2: with the shoulder issue. What are your thoughts about facing

1891
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:55,280
Speaker 2: potentially Lawrence, but then getting ready for Mac Jones potentially

1892
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:56,160
Speaker 2: quarterback as well.

1893
01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:58,800
Speaker 4: And for me, as I go in, I'm preparing for

1894
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 4: or prepared for Trevor. We'll see how the reports go

1895
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 4: throughout the week, see if he's.

1896
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 5: Playing or not.

1897
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:05,800
Speaker 4: But we have to look at both guys, right, be

1898
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 4: ready for Mac and be ready for Trevor. But to me,

1899
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 4: it's this week, man, I'm not even that's not even

1900
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 4: the way. It's not even My focal point is who's

1901
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 4: playing quarterback for Jacksonville.

1902
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:19,599
Speaker 5: My focal point will be strictly on the Texans.

1903
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 2: You talked about this in your press conference, and I know,

1904
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 2: we've talked about this before, and you talk about defensively

1905
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 2: in particular, if we play the defense the way it's

1906
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 2: supposed to be played, we've got answers to the test.

1907
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 1: How important is for is it for us coaching staff

1908
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:36,640
Speaker 1: to make sure players understand it?

1909
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:40,759
Speaker 2: Hey, look, there are answers right there, just just apply

1910
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 2: them properly. I mean, obviously that's the heart of coaching.

1911
01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 2: But then you get this late in the season. Buys

1912
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:47,840
Speaker 2: are fatigued a little bit mentally fatigued. How do you

1913
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:50,759
Speaker 2: make sure that they do run the defense in particular

1914
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:51,400
Speaker 2: the way you want it?

1915
01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:52,040
Speaker 5: And that's the thing.

1916
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 4: You have to overcome that mental fatigue of you're doing

1917
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 4: the same thing and kind of get monotonous over and

1918
01:22:57,360 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 4: over again, and get a little relaxed in this area.

1919
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 4: And I decide to, let's say, jump a route when

1920
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 4: I shouldn't be jumping a rounde, or I decide to

1921
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 4: not get as much depth when I should be deep,

1922
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:11,479
Speaker 4: and those just come back to bite you. It's nothing

1923
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:13,679
Speaker 4: that I always look at, nothing that the offense did,

1924
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 4: because you know, we understand the issues and the plays

1925
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:19,760
Speaker 4: that people will run versus our scheme. A lot of

1926
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 4: times we see a lot of repeat plays. So there

1927
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 4: are other teams that hit plays on us, we'll see

1928
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 4: those plays again. We call it, you know, copycat offenses.

1929
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:30,679
Speaker 4: They'll try to run the same thing because structurally we're

1930
01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:31,960
Speaker 4: not changing defensively.

1931
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 5: So we work those issue plays.

1932
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 4: And so we hang our hat on being a stickler

1933
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:41,360
Speaker 4: for the details and being on it to the point

1934
01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 4: where we know what the offense is running and we're

1935
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:45,160
Speaker 4: gonna defend it better than you can run it.

1936
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:47,599
Speaker 3: Coach, what can you tell the audience about the difference

1937
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 3: between say, a Monday team meeting and a Friday team meeting.

1938
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 3: And I know a Monday team meeting after a loss

1939
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 3: versus a win very different. But what can you share

1940
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:57,680
Speaker 3: with us about those those meetings because we can't get

1941
01:23:57,720 --> 01:23:58,320
Speaker 3: inside the room.

1942
01:23:58,439 --> 01:24:03,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Monday meeting like to very quiet, very quiet meeting

1943
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:06,800
Speaker 4: today where you know, I go through and I cut

1944
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:09,840
Speaker 4: out some plays from our game and the entire game,

1945
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:13,720
Speaker 4: the special teams offense, defense, and I go through just

1946
01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:17,400
Speaker 4: it's called it a rundown of the game and seek

1947
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 4: sequential orders just to show you guys, Okay, what really.

1948
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:23,120
Speaker 5: Happened in the game and how did we lose?

1949
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 4: So I just go play by play, highlighting the good

1950
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 4: things that happen and also highlighting the bad things, like, hey,

1951
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 4: if we were just on this small detail could have

1952
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:37,599
Speaker 4: been I don't know, a potential touchdown for us right

1953
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:40,240
Speaker 4: or this could have been a potential takeaway for us.

1954
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 5: So I go through and highlight that today.

1955
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:44,240
Speaker 4: It probably had about fifty or sixty plays a little

1956
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:46,880
Speaker 4: long winded in there today, and the guys have to

1957
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:49,559
Speaker 4: sit through it or suffer through it, however you look

1958
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:53,000
Speaker 4: at it. And then our Friday meeting, Friday meeting is

1959
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 4: definitely more it's more upbeat, energetic meeting.

1960
01:24:56,439 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 5: Friday meetings.

1961
01:24:57,200 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 4: We're going kind of around the league and we're seeing

1962
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:03,320
Speaker 4: things that happen in the previous week around the league

1963
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 4: of things we can learn from mistakes other teams made

1964
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:09,880
Speaker 4: or some really good things teams did, and we can

1965
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,720
Speaker 4: highlight and just so our guys have a really good

1966
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 4: understanding a grasp of the game, because there are a

1967
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 4: lot of situations and things that come up around the

1968
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:20,840
Speaker 4: league that may not happen in our game, or may

1969
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:23,720
Speaker 4: not happen but only like one time a year, but

1970
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 4: we get the chance to teach off of that from

1971
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:28,960
Speaker 4: other teams. So it's more of a teaching meeting. And

1972
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 4: also in that Friday meeting, we go over our we

1973
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 4: have a third down compete period, and so I put

1974
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 4: those four plays up and go through it offense, defense,

1975
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:40,639
Speaker 4: and we highlight you know, who wins the down, who

1976
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:42,719
Speaker 4: loses it down, and then we always have a little

1977
01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:46,040
Speaker 4: friendly competition amongst the offense and defense or third down.

1978
01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:47,960
Speaker 1: I love that competition everything you do.

1979
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:51,280
Speaker 2: When you were a player and you knew you were

1980
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:53,799
Speaker 2: having one of those Monday meetings where you knew coaches

1981
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 2: bringing forty five to fifty plays to show you, was

1982
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 2: that one of those You're like, man, I hope you

1983
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 2: missed that third down. You never have that kind of

1984
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 2: thought like, man I do that third down? I hope

1985
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 2: you don't that all there? It is, oh Dad, over.

1986
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,640
Speaker 4: Your heads down a little bit like hurry up and

1987
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:16,120
Speaker 4: get past that place quickly as possible. But it's it's

1988
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:18,479
Speaker 4: always tough as a player. You know it's coming and

1989
01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 4: you can't you're waiting on that moment. You just hope

1990
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 4: it is not as severe as you think it will be.

1991
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 4: But I always, I never, always try to do it

1992
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:30,280
Speaker 4: in a way to make sure I'm encouraging with it

1993
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:33,040
Speaker 4: and just hey, if we were just one step better here,

1994
01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:35,479
Speaker 4: or if we just had our eyes right here, like

1995
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:37,640
Speaker 4: just think about what it could have been. Like, I

1996
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:40,640
Speaker 4: know everybody understands the mistakes. I don't try to go

1997
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 4: back and overemphasize the mistake and I emphasize what we

1998
01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 4: can do different.

1999
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:47,960
Speaker 3: Going on the road is one thing, and you've been

2000
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:49,519
Speaker 3: on the road, but you haven't been on the road

2001
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:52,280
Speaker 3: in the division since opening day. And there's just something

2002
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 3: about that, isn't there when you're facing a division opponent.

2003
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 3: You just faced the division opponent, You saw what they

2004
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 3: brought to the table, So what about that aspect of it?

2005
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:02,200
Speaker 4: Excited to get on the road, Excited to get on

2006
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 4: the road again, especially versus our division opponent and in

2007
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:10,080
Speaker 4: Jacksonville team, we know this is a big game for us, right,

2008
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 4: this is one we have to go out.

2009
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:12,920
Speaker 5: We have to win this game.

2010
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:15,280
Speaker 4: We have to clean up all of our issues right

2011
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:17,639
Speaker 4: and make sure we go out and play the game

2012
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:19,880
Speaker 4: the right way, so just so we're able to compete.

2013
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 4: I think for me is the main thing is getting

2014
01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:25,439
Speaker 4: out our own way and let's go and compete and

2015
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 4: may the best man win. But let's go out and

2016
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 4: play Texans brand of football that's operating with precision, effort

2017
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:35,840
Speaker 4: and physicality. Right, If we do that, that travels on

2018
01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 4: the road. Right, One thing I know, going on the road,

2019
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:40,840
Speaker 4: we've ran the ball well for whatever reason it's been,

2020
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:43,639
Speaker 4: we ran the ball well on the road. So hopefully

2021
01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:46,120
Speaker 4: that shows up. You have to be able to travel

2022
01:27:46,160 --> 01:27:48,840
Speaker 4: with the run game. So let's play well in the

2023
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:52,040
Speaker 4: run game. Let's play good defense, and let's make this

2024
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:53,879
Speaker 4: a win for the Texans.

2025
01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:56,280
Speaker 1: And we're back outside on grass, which is something we

2026
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:59,439
Speaker 1: do and that's rare. It's really rare in the NFL.

2027
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:03,160
Speaker 2: Now, coach, you mentioned your press conference, you're earlier in

2028
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:07,679
Speaker 2: the game. We lost Jalen Petrie. What what is lost

2029
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:11,680
Speaker 2: with Jalen? And how do you go about replacing all

2030
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:13,000
Speaker 2: the different things he did for you?

2031
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:14,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jay want to be out for a couple of

2032
01:28:14,680 --> 01:28:17,960
Speaker 4: weeks with the with the shoulder injury. Uh man, it's

2033
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 4: just it's a gut punch to me. He's a guy

2034
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:25,120
Speaker 4: that he did so much for me defensively and what

2035
01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:26,800
Speaker 4: we're what I was able to call what I was

2036
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:30,200
Speaker 4: able to do just with the different things that he

2037
01:28:30,240 --> 01:28:32,800
Speaker 4: was able to do, whether it's blitzing or covering, like

2038
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:35,720
Speaker 4: fitting in the run like being a nickel and being

2039
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:37,320
Speaker 4: able to fit in the run fit. The way he

2040
01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:39,479
Speaker 4: fits in a run fit is just you don't You

2041
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:41,599
Speaker 4: don't see that much. Most people are trying to keep

2042
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:43,640
Speaker 4: him out of the run fit, but I'm trying to

2043
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:47,040
Speaker 4: get Jalen into the action as much as possible. He's

2044
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:51,240
Speaker 4: just been such a dynamic playmaker for us all throughout

2045
01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:53,800
Speaker 4: the year. So yeah, we had to pick up the

2046
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:57,200
Speaker 4: slack there. It's gonna be tough. That's because how active

2047
01:28:57,240 --> 01:29:00,439
Speaker 4: he was, and you know just how instrument mental he

2048
01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 4: was to just how our scheme started to shift and

2049
01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:05,080
Speaker 4: change throughout the year.

2050
01:29:05,200 --> 01:29:06,639
Speaker 5: So we'll pick it up.

2051
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:08,360
Speaker 4: We'll pick it up and try to hold it down

2052
01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 4: for him as as long as he needs to be

2053
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:11,000
Speaker 4: out well.

2054
01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:13,280
Speaker 5: Man praying for Jalen to have a speed on recovery.

2055
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:15,439
Speaker 3: So somebody's gonna have to step up. And you have

2056
01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 3: this a lot where you have to either elevate a

2057
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:19,519
Speaker 3: guy from the practice squad or address a guy might

2058
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:21,599
Speaker 3: not normally dress or hasn't dressed that often.

2059
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:24,000
Speaker 1: How do you deal with those guys? What do you

2060
01:29:24,040 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 1: say to them?

2061
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 3: Because the guy might be disappointed he's not playing this week,

2062
01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:28,920
Speaker 3: but he's got to be ready because he might play

2063
01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 3: next week. A guy the practice squad could be elevated

2064
01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:33,799
Speaker 3: Tommy Togy as a sack in the game against the Titans.

2065
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:35,599
Speaker 1: How do you address those guys?

2066
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:38,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, how I address him is everybody has to be ready.

2067
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:41,519
Speaker 4: Like I always tell our guys practice squad, you're not

2068
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:45,280
Speaker 4: just a practice player, like you're one play away from

2069
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:47,799
Speaker 4: being in and playing, just like Tommy was. And Tommy

2070
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:50,800
Speaker 4: has been playing really good for us, right And it's

2071
01:29:51,360 --> 01:29:54,320
Speaker 4: is you can never relax. And that's the main message

2072
01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:56,160
Speaker 4: to all of our guys. You can never relax because

2073
01:29:56,160 --> 01:29:58,840
Speaker 4: it may just be your moment and you won't know

2074
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:00,880
Speaker 4: if you're ready for that moment until you get thrust

2075
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:03,120
Speaker 4: into the moment and the bright lights are on.

2076
01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:06,240
Speaker 5: But uh, it's not.

2077
01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:08,640
Speaker 4: I mean I always try to let our guys know,

2078
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 4: like any given moment, everybody prepares like you're a starter

2079
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:14,880
Speaker 4: because you are a starter, and our guys have taken

2080
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:17,840
Speaker 4: that mindset and their role and sometimes you don't even

2081
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:21,120
Speaker 4: know as the week goes on. Sometimes guys have nicks

2082
01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:23,400
Speaker 4: and injuries throughout the week and it may change at

2083
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:26,000
Speaker 4: the last minute. It may change on Friday, all right,

2084
01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:28,280
Speaker 4: if a guy's getting elevated or a guy's not.

2085
01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:31,720
Speaker 5: So you don't I don't know. They don't know. So

2086
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:34,960
Speaker 5: we don't have time to worry about. Are you ready?

2087
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:36,200
Speaker 5: Did you prepare all week?

2088
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:38,840
Speaker 4: No, you're taking the same notes in a meeting, just

2089
01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:39,880
Speaker 4: as if you were a starter.

2090
01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:42,200
Speaker 5: And we'll see on Saturday.

2091
01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 4: Sometimes a guy, Hey, we got to elevate this guy

2092
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:45,479
Speaker 4: on Saturday?

2093
01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 5: Is he ready to go?

2094
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:51,280
Speaker 1: Get on the plane. Let's go this we've reached now

2095
01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:52,840
Speaker 1: one of I don't know.

2096
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:54,719
Speaker 2: It can be a magical time of year can also

2097
01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:57,200
Speaker 2: be a difficult time of year because it's the holiday season.

2098
01:30:57,600 --> 01:30:58,840
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving is this week.

2099
01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:01,360
Speaker 2: Some great holidays are happening over the next how many

2100
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:03,640
Speaker 2: ever weeks. We also got a job to do. You

2101
01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 2: gotta go out there and play football. You gotta coach.

2102
01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:07,720
Speaker 2: We got to do our jobs. How tough does this

2103
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:11,760
Speaker 2: time of year become because of the holidays and families

2104
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 2: and all the different get togethers and all that kind

2105
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:15,800
Speaker 2: of stuff. Does it become more difficult or you kind

2106
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:17,479
Speaker 2: of welcome to challenge in some respects?

2107
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 4: It is difficult. I mean to be honest, it is

2108
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:23,519
Speaker 4: a difficult time, because it's such a distraction, right, you

2109
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 4: have family in town or whatever the case, it's a

2110
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:30,519
Speaker 4: distraction to guys because our week really doesn't change, Like

2111
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:33,240
Speaker 4: it's just like we have another game to prepare for.

2112
01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:36,120
Speaker 4: And what I don't want our guys or coaches to

2113
01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:40,280
Speaker 4: get distracted with the holidays and try to make that

2114
01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:43,400
Speaker 4: bigger than it needs to be. Like the big game

2115
01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:46,280
Speaker 4: for us, the big holiday for us is next Sunday

2116
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:48,840
Speaker 4: in Jacksonville, Like that's my holiday, and I want our

2117
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:51,760
Speaker 4: guys to have that mindset to prepare the same way.

2118
01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:55,120
Speaker 4: Our preparation doesn't change, Like we'll adjust our schedule. Of course,

2119
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:58,480
Speaker 4: I'm not just oblivious to the fact that it's Thanksgiving.

2120
01:31:58,520 --> 01:32:01,200
Speaker 4: I want guys to spend that time with your families, right,

2121
01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:04,320
Speaker 4: So we'll we'll cut our guys loose after practice, right

2122
01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:06,439
Speaker 4: to give them the afternoon to hang with their families.

2123
01:32:06,479 --> 01:32:11,400
Speaker 4: But it's also like, don't overeat, don't stay up too

2124
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:13,960
Speaker 4: late like all those days, like you still have to

2125
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:17,559
Speaker 4: show up on Sunday, your families going back home wherever

2126
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:19,840
Speaker 4: they coming out of town, and you got to go

2127
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:23,720
Speaker 4: perform on Sunday at a high level. So don't overdo it.

2128
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:25,559
Speaker 4: On Thursday and allow that to affect you.

2129
01:32:25,640 --> 01:32:25,920
Speaker 1: All right.

2130
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:28,920
Speaker 3: Speaking of which, the Amergy Bank asked Coach question another

2131
01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:30,839

01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:33,800
Speaker 3: about that.

01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:35,120

Speaker 3: But this year we're going to ask you to replace

2138
01:32:43,760 --> 01:32:47,080
Speaker 3: turkey on the table. You're replacing the starting quarterback of

2139
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:48,400
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving turkey.

2140
01:32:48,680 --> 01:32:52,679
Speaker 1: What else would you serve if you had to, Coach?

2141
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:56,080
Speaker 4: If I had to replace the turkey, Let's get some

2142
01:32:56,640 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 4: I guess you go with the ham. You go with

2143
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:02,120
Speaker 4: the honey baked ham, before you go with some man,

2144
01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:03,400
Speaker 4: I would love some jerk chicken.

2145
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:06,439
Speaker 5: That would go really awesome? Can we do that?

2146
01:33:06,520 --> 01:33:15,839
Speaker 1: I'd rather have that the week. That's awesome. Barbecue briss.

2160
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:54,240
Speaker 2: The offensive line is better than people think. The defense

2161
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:58,200
Speaker 2: of front in particular is really really good. So Texans

2162
01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 2: have got to get their house in order on this

2163
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:05,760
Speaker 2: thirteenth straight football game in a row of the year.

2164
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:08,400
Speaker 2: That's a lot, man, so more than the Texas have

2165
01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:11,519
Speaker 2: ever done. So suck it up for sixty minutes, get

2166
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:15,840
Speaker 2: a dub in Duval County, and then take a cyberlief

2167
01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:19,280
Speaker 2: whatever you want to do the week of the bye,

2168
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:21,839
Speaker 2: and then get into those final four games, which everybody

2169
01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:24,599
Speaker 2: has talked about since this schedule came out. But those

2170
01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:27,400
Speaker 2: four games won't matter a whole heck of a lot

2171
01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:29,960
Speaker 2: if you don't go into Jacksonville and take care of

2172
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:32,880
Speaker 2: business against AFC South Folk.

2173
01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:34,759
Speaker 1: Jacksonville.

2174
01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:37,400
Speaker 2: You have been winning games on the road in the

2175
01:34:37,479 --> 01:34:40,920
Speaker 2: division for a long time, dating all the way back

2176
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:46,280
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty one, do it again one more time,

2177
01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:49,080
Speaker 2: going to the buy feeling really good. A big thanks

2178
01:34:49,080 --> 01:34:52,040
Speaker 2: to Damiko Ryans, to Mark Vandermir, to Drew Doherty, to

Speaker 3: and let's hope we digest. I'll win on Sunday afternoon

2192
01:35:32,080 --> 01:35:36,240
Speaker 3: after the Texans take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road.

2193
01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:40,679
Speaker 3: Haven't been on the road in the division since opening day,

2194
01:35:40,800 --> 01:35:43,600
Speaker 3: so we'll talk about that with Executive vice president and

2195
01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:47,599
Speaker 3: general manager Nick Cassario. Next coming up later in the show,

2196
01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:49,920
Speaker 3: some stuff from Eric Murray We caught up with.

2197
01:35:49,880 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 1: The safety this week.

2198
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:53,760
Speaker 3: How's he taken things as he's a veteran man, he's

2199
01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 3: been in this league a long time now, how does

2200
01:35:55,400 --> 01:35:56,880
Speaker 3: he take care of his body? How does he get

2201
01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 3: ready for a big outing like Sunday at the Jaguars.

2202
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:04,120
Speaker 3: And also Matt Burke defensive coordinator, super interesting guy, and

2203
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:06,400
Speaker 3: a lot more along the way, but let's get to it.

2204
01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:10,400
Speaker 3: Our conversation with Nick Cassario, starting off with what happened

2205
01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:13,040
Speaker 3: last week, Not so much let's move out to Jacksonville,

2206
01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:15,080
Speaker 3: but some things about the game that they have to

2207
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:18,040
Speaker 3: remember and correct, of course, as they just came off

2208
01:36:18,080 --> 01:36:20,040
Speaker 3: a loss to the Tennessee Titans.

2209
01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:22,960
Speaker 10: Regardless of the result on this past Sunday, all we

2210
01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:25,120
Speaker 10: can do is prepare for what's in front of us,

2211
01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:26,920
Speaker 10: which is Jacksonville's hard to believe. We haven't playing the

2212
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:31,040
Speaker 10: road since the opener with Indy, but played a good,

2213
01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:33,000
Speaker 10: you know, pretty good game they or the first time

2214
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:35,320
Speaker 10: against Jacksonville kind of came down to the wire. We're

2215
01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:37,080
Speaker 10: able to execute the end of the game, So that

2216
01:36:37,200 --> 01:36:38,639
Speaker 10: was one of the games we were able to execute,

2217
01:36:38,720 --> 01:36:40,280
Speaker 10: you know, made some winning plays there at the end.

2218
01:36:40,439 --> 01:36:42,479
Speaker 10: So they're a good football team. We'll talk about them

2219
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:44,439
Speaker 10: here in a minute. So you know, whatever happened is

2220
01:36:44,479 --> 01:36:46,680
Speaker 10: past Sunday. In the end, we didn't do enough to

2221
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:49,000
Speaker 10: win the game against Tennessee. Give them credit. Now we've

2222
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:51,080
Speaker 10: got to get ready for the next opportunity division, which

2223
01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:51,880
Speaker 10: is the Jaguars.

2224
01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:54,200
Speaker 2: Nick I always love when you have hard decisions to make,

2225
01:36:54,280 --> 01:36:57,439
Speaker 2: such as a guy like Tommy Togii. He's been on

2226
01:36:57,479 --> 01:36:59,760
Speaker 2: a practice squad, gauts his opportunity because these guys are

2227
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:02,480
Speaker 2: banged up and he's doing the most with that opportunity.

2228
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:04,880
Speaker 2: I don't want you to get into how tough the

2229
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:07,800
Speaker 2: decision is, but with the fact that he's playing that, well,

2230
01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:09,680
Speaker 2: how tough does the decision become. When you have a

2231
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:11,360
Speaker 2: guy playing like that, you really don't want to take

2232
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:13,320
Speaker 2: him out of the lineup, even though he's a practice

2233
01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:13,840
Speaker 2: squad guy.

2234
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:15,759
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a good thing about our program.

2235
01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:17,680
Speaker 10: So regardless of where you come from or how you

2236
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:19,479
Speaker 10: get here, when you get here, if you go in

2237
01:37:19,520 --> 01:37:21,960
Speaker 10: there take advantage of your opportunity, you potentially have a

2238
01:37:22,040 --> 01:37:23,920
Speaker 10: chance to earn more playing time. So we're kind of

2239
01:37:23,960 --> 01:37:27,080
Speaker 10: forced into a situation where with fully being out when

2240
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:29,120
Speaker 10: he GEDs some reinforcements on the defensive line. I've been

2241
01:37:29,120 --> 01:37:30,960
Speaker 10: shuffling some guys back and forth. I had to deal

2242
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:34,080
Speaker 10: with Mario situation kind of on and off. But Tommy's

2243
01:37:34,120 --> 01:37:36,720
Speaker 10: going in there and giving us some good plays. He

2244
01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:39,040
Speaker 10: showed up again there the other day in the game

2245
01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:41,960
Speaker 10: on Sunday. So experienced player has been in the league.

2246
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:43,599
Speaker 10: I mean he was a fourth round pick or whatever

2247
01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:45,599
Speaker 10: he was by the Browns there going back. So it's

2248
01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:48,360
Speaker 10: kind of bounced around roster practice squad and was on

2249
01:37:48,400 --> 01:37:50,120
Speaker 10: our practice squad here for a little bit, still is

2250
01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:52,320
Speaker 10: on our practice squad. So we'll look at where we

2251
01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:54,240
Speaker 10: are roster wise going into the week and figure out

2252
01:37:54,240 --> 01:37:56,080
Speaker 10: what makes the most sense relative to you know, who

2253
01:37:56,080 --> 01:37:57,960
Speaker 10: gives us the best chance to win on Sunday.

2254
01:37:58,360 --> 01:37:59,960
Speaker 1: At the end of the day against Tennessee.

2255
01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 3: You look at it, it's a loss, but you look

2256
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:04,439
Speaker 3: at so many big plays that were made throughout the

2257
01:38:04,439 --> 01:38:05,840
Speaker 3: course of the game, a lot of things that you

2258
01:38:05,880 --> 01:38:07,400
Speaker 3: can build on moving forward.

2259
01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:09,799
Speaker 9: Yeah, that game is really emblematic of our season.

2260
01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:12,160
Speaker 10: So for their number of positives that took place in

2261
01:38:12,200 --> 01:38:14,920
Speaker 10: the game, but they're offset by the negatives. So we

2262
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:16,600
Speaker 10: just have to figure out a way to maybe e

2263
01:38:16,640 --> 01:38:19,120
Speaker 10: eliminate some of those negative things that we can control,

2264
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:22,000
Speaker 10: you know, penalties, the turnovers, those are things that we

2265
01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:25,000
Speaker 10: can control. So going into the game, you know, John

2266
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:27,240
Speaker 10: and I we talked about what was some of the keys,

2267
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:30,800
Speaker 10: and those kind of came to fruition. You know, in

2268
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:33,160
Speaker 10: some senses that was good. In other senses it kind

2269
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:36,120
Speaker 10: of was a negative. It'd say, the explosive plays on

2270
01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:38,200
Speaker 10: both sides of the ball, and we gave up. Anytime

2271
01:38:38,200 --> 01:38:40,840
Speaker 10: you have explosive plays, regardless of the side of the

2272
01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:43,640
Speaker 10: ball that you're on, it's likely going to increase the

2273
01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:46,599
Speaker 10: chances of scoring drives taking place. So even going back

2274
01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 10: in the Jacksonville game, they hit some explosive plays. Brian Thomas,

2275
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:51,840
Speaker 10: you know who we'll talk about here. So there's a

2276
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:54,599
Speaker 10: number of positives, but it's kind of two steps forward,

2277
01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:57,400
Speaker 10: three steps back. So when you have those negative plays,

2278
01:38:57,400 --> 01:38:59,080
Speaker 10: we just have to figure out a way to eliminate

2279
01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:01,760
Speaker 10: those negative plays to put ourselves in the position where

2280
01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:03,639
Speaker 10: we can go ahead and finish the football game.

2281
01:39:03,800 --> 01:39:06,160
Speaker 2: Something Mark and I had talked about a while for

2282
01:39:06,200 --> 01:39:08,720
Speaker 2: a long time, but something that you brought up to

2283
01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:10,639
Speaker 2: the day and it really just resonates in my head, Nick,

2284
01:39:10,680 --> 01:39:12,920
Speaker 2: And that's first down production. You keep talking about first

2285
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:15,360
Speaker 2: down production, first down production on both sides of the ball.

2286
01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 1: How do you think that's gone both sides offense?

2287
01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:22,280
Speaker 2: Defensively, staying basically ahead of the sticks with good first

2288
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:25,200
Speaker 2: down productions, whether it's two, three, four yards, getting the

2289
01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:27,080
Speaker 2: second and six can be a good thing. How do

2290
01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:29,120
Speaker 2: you think that first down production has been on both

2291
01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:29,679
Speaker 2: sides of the ball.

2292
01:39:29,800 --> 01:39:31,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's always a point emphasis and at times it

2293
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:33,760
Speaker 10: has been pretty good and other times it hasn't been

2294
01:39:33,760 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 10: good enough. So offensively, you know when you have zero

2295
01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:40,160
Speaker 10: or negative yardage plays and you're in second and long

2296
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:41,960
Speaker 10: and then you're just trying to get back on track

2297
01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:43,639
Speaker 10: there to put yourself and you know, I think we've

2298
01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:47,080
Speaker 10: had amongst the most third and longs in the league.

2299
01:39:47,080 --> 01:39:48,320
Speaker 9: However you categorize that.

2300
01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:52,160
Speaker 10: And then defensively, there's a couple examples there, and again

2301
01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:53,760
Speaker 10: the first play of the game, you know it's a

2302
01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:56,360
Speaker 10: situation where they run a keeper. You know, we kind

2303
01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:58,439
Speaker 10: of have an assignment that we didn't execute and they

2304
01:39:58,479 --> 01:40:00,760
Speaker 10: were able to create a showing play and then to

2305
01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:03,639
Speaker 10: play the chig. The winning touchdown was a first down play.

2306
01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:05,120
Speaker 10: It was the start of the drive. So those are

2307
01:40:05,120 --> 01:40:06,800
Speaker 10: always key plays. You want to try to get off

2308
01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:09,599
Speaker 10: to a good start those p and ten plays, So

2309
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:11,760
Speaker 10: it's always a point of emphasis. And when you go

2310
01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:13,680
Speaker 10: through the league, it's funny, I was looking at that

2311
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:15,800
Speaker 10: the other day. Here, you know the teams at they're

2312
01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:17,920
Speaker 10: top of the league in first down production or some

2313
01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:19,360
Speaker 10: of the better teams that we're kind of in the

2314
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:24,080
Speaker 10: middle to the bottom. So it's about making incremental improvements

2315
01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:26,680
Speaker 10: in some areas. So I think first down production is

2316
01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:28,640
Speaker 10: going to enhance your overall ability once you get to

2317
01:40:28,680 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 10: third down.

2318
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:30,920
Speaker 9: So it's all tied together in the end.

2319
01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:33,400
Speaker 3: Nick, why is it so hard? Just tell the audience

2320
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:35,479
Speaker 3: why is it so hard on special teams? Because I

2321
01:40:35,520 --> 01:40:37,960
Speaker 3: watch tons of football, we all do, and every time

2322
01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:39,559
Speaker 3: there's a punt, I'm holding my breath.

2323
01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:41,280
Speaker 1: No flags, because you.

2324
01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:43,160
Speaker 3: Get this illegal block and the back kind of thing

2325
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:45,280
Speaker 3: going on, and it happens to a lot of teams

2326
01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:47,240
Speaker 3: all across the league and beyond.

2327
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:48,559
Speaker 1: Why is that difficult?

2328
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:49,719
Speaker 9: Yeah, typically you've seen.

2329
01:40:49,680 --> 01:40:52,280
Speaker 10: The perimeter with the gunners, and a lot of times

2330
01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:55,280
Speaker 10: the gunners there's a speed element, so if they defeat

2331
01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:58,400
Speaker 10: the vice or the block, you know, on the right

2332
01:40:58,400 --> 01:41:00,400
Speaker 10: off the line of scrimmage, then you're sort of in

2333
01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:03,360
Speaker 10: a catchup mode. Or if you don't move your feet

2334
01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:05,479
Speaker 10: laterally and stay in front of the gunner, now the

2335
01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:07,679
Speaker 10: gunners are trying to release, they got to either release

2336
01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:10,240
Speaker 10: outside or if there's advice, got to split them or

2337
01:41:10,320 --> 01:41:11,200
Speaker 10: go inside.

2338
01:41:11,439 --> 01:41:14,040
Speaker 9: And if you don't play with the right technique.

2339
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:16,719
Speaker 10: Then you're in a position where you're grabbing or you're holding,

2340
01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:18,800
Speaker 10: or you're not just playing with the proper technique. So

2341
01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:22,400
Speaker 10: a lot of plays go back to basic fundamentals hand placement,

2342
01:41:22,439 --> 01:41:25,680
Speaker 10: foot placement technique, running your feet on contact, even on

2343
01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:27,679
Speaker 10: the offensive side of the ball. A lot of holding

2344
01:41:27,720 --> 01:41:30,560
Speaker 10: penalties or when guys end up outside of the framework

2345
01:41:30,840 --> 01:41:33,120
Speaker 10: because their hands are too wide or they don't run

2346
01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:35,040
Speaker 10: their feet on contact, so they're in a good initial

2347
01:41:35,040 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 10: position and defender tries to x off and then they flail,

2348
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:41,880
Speaker 10: or they grab them or you pull them down. So

2349
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:44,599
Speaker 10: it's just things happen at a high rate of speed,

2350
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:46,200
Speaker 10: so you have to be able to react. So that's

2351
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:48,240
Speaker 10: where you have to trust your technique. And if you're

2352
01:41:48,280 --> 01:41:51,519
Speaker 10: out there, specifically on the punt return team going against Avice,

2353
01:41:52,200 --> 01:41:55,559
Speaker 10: you have to hope that your teammate that's involved is

2354
01:41:55,600 --> 01:41:58,240
Speaker 10: also going to execute the technique the proper way. So

2355
01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:01,360
Speaker 10: you just see a lot of ain't even on kickoff return.

2356
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:04,759
Speaker 10: So even though we've reduced a space because of the rules,

2357
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:08,040
Speaker 10: so you go, you defeat that initial block, you're either

2358
01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:09,840
Speaker 10: inn catch up mode and you're out a position. Then

2359
01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:11,840
Speaker 10: it's gonna lead to potentially a negative play.

2360
01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:15,920
Speaker 2: Speaking of kickoff returns, Damian Pierce has given us kickoff

2361
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:18,920
Speaker 2: returns the old way the new way, Nick, what are

2362
01:42:18,920 --> 01:42:21,400
Speaker 2: your thoughts about him back there, because we've talked about

2363
01:42:21,400 --> 01:42:23,719
Speaker 2: it on the broadcast, that he might be the perfect

2364
01:42:23,720 --> 01:42:27,200
Speaker 2: guy because he is such a difficult guy to tackle

2365
01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:29,280
Speaker 2: that if you don't get a good shot on him,

2366
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 2: he can bounce off and do what he did the

2367
01:42:30,600 --> 01:42:33,320
Speaker 2: other day. Her thoughts about Damian being a kickoff returner

2368
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:35,120
Speaker 2: or maybe finding a really good role for him.

2369
01:42:35,200 --> 01:42:37,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, he's really done a great job with this opportunity.

2370
01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:38,400
Speaker 10: You can go back to last year, like alluded to

2371
01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:40,960
Speaker 10: you at the kickoff return against Cleveland. So if a

2372
01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:43,440
Speaker 10: guy is good with the ball in his hands, sometimes

2373
01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:45,120
Speaker 10: you may just try him back there to see if

2374
01:42:45,120 --> 01:42:47,439
Speaker 10: he can handle it. And on kickoff returns typically there's

2375
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:50,400
Speaker 10: gonna be some traffic element or traffic running where you're

2376
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:52,120
Speaker 10: gonna have to deal with some contact. So a guy

2377
01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:54,680
Speaker 10: that has balance, a guy that has strength, a guy

2378
01:42:54,720 --> 01:42:58,000
Speaker 10: that can break tackles. Not all running backs can handle

2379
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:01,080
Speaker 10: that role of responsibility. Going back to my time in

2380
01:43:01,120 --> 01:43:03,439
Speaker 10: New England, you know, we put Brandon Bolden back there,

2381
01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:06,320
Speaker 10: who had never handled the ball as a kickoff returner,

2382
01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:08,320
Speaker 10: but he had good size, he could handle the ball,

2383
01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:10,720
Speaker 10: had a good running style and he was able to

2384
01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:12,920
Speaker 10: get some positive plays. So you've had guys like Boldin,

2385
01:43:12,960 --> 01:43:15,360
Speaker 10: We've had guys like Dan Lewis, you know who is

2386
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:19,960
Speaker 10: it different? He gets size than guys like Brandon or DP.

2387
01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:22,960
Speaker 10: But dp's done a really good job and it really

2388
01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:25,040
Speaker 10: you have to have a sensor of feel for space.

2389
01:43:25,320 --> 01:43:27,040
Speaker 10: And then the play that he made the other day

2390
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:28,840
Speaker 10: was really more just he was able to stay on

2391
01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:31,040
Speaker 10: his feet, keep his balance and then he was able

2392
01:43:31,040 --> 01:43:32,840
Speaker 10: to kind of bounce it outside and then Hutch and

2393
01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:36,559
Speaker 10: Boyd were actually able to finish their block. So but

2394
01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:39,639
Speaker 10: we've gotten some explosive plays on kickoff returns, no question,

2395
01:43:39,760 --> 01:43:41,880
Speaker 10: and dp's done a good job with those opportunities.

2396
01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:43,519
Speaker 3: We know you want to move the ball better in

2397
01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:45,920
Speaker 3: the second half, that's clear, and CJ Stroud after the

2398
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,719
Speaker 3: game taking a lot of things upon himself, taking blame

2399
01:43:48,840 --> 01:43:49,360
Speaker 3: for stuff.

2400
01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:50,720
Speaker 1: What do you make of that?

2401
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:52,960
Speaker 3: And the unit as a whole is they try to

2402
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:55,719
Speaker 3: improve moving into these final five games of the regular season.

2403
01:43:56,000 --> 01:43:59,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, players and coaches likewise, sometimes you internalize things and

2404
01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:01,200
Speaker 10: you put everything on your shoulders. But in the end,

2405
01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:03,240
Speaker 10: it's not about one person or one player. It's a

2406
01:44:03,240 --> 01:44:05,600
Speaker 10: collective effort. So I think all of us just have

2407
01:44:05,640 --> 01:44:08,720
Speaker 10: to do our jobs a little bit better. Quarterback is

2408
01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:11,640
Speaker 10: going to take responsibility, probably gets his share of the

2409
01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:13,360
Speaker 10: blame on both sides of it because of the nature

2410
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:16,400
Speaker 10: of the position. But CJ cares a lot. He's very competitive.

2411
01:44:16,520 --> 01:44:18,360
Speaker 10: He wants to do the right thing by the football

2412
01:44:18,400 --> 01:44:20,760
Speaker 10: team at all times. So in the end, we just

2413
01:44:20,800 --> 01:44:22,400
Speaker 10: got to come up with some solutions, just try to

2414
01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:25,360
Speaker 10: find some things that we can incorporate or improve upon

2415
01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:28,000
Speaker 10: and put ourselves in a better position in a second

2416
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:29,680
Speaker 10: a half. It's really more as a team, not one

2417
01:44:29,680 --> 01:44:33,040
Speaker 10: particular position, one side of the ball. It's just collectively

2418
01:44:32,360 --> 01:44:34,080
Speaker 10: as an entire group.

2419
01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:35,439
Speaker 5: Because but that one behind us.

2420
01:44:35,520 --> 01:44:39,360
Speaker 2: We talked to Demiko on Monday and talked about twenty

2421
01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:41,920
Speaker 2: four hour reels. Sometimes twenty four hour rule extends, but

2422
01:44:42,040 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 2: he talked about wanting to really not forget this game

2423
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:48,200
Speaker 2: as you get ready for this one against Jacksonville. We

2424
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:50,160
Speaker 2: go on the road Nick to take on the Jaguars

2425
01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:53,200
Speaker 2: place we've had success, but really doesn't matter because it's

2426
01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:56,840
Speaker 2: this one. Let's get into what's different about them? What

2427
01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:59,600
Speaker 2: are they bringing to the party. Trevor Or mac Or

2428
01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:02,479
Speaker 2: does it thoughts on the Jaguars Discovery report.

2429
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:04,439
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's an interesting team when you look at it,

2430
01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:06,280
Speaker 10: and going back we played on whatever that was Week

2431
01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:07,840
Speaker 10: four or five, so it's kind of in the middle.

2432
01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:11,040
Speaker 10: A lot of the things carry over, but they've had

2433
01:45:11,080 --> 01:45:13,519
Speaker 10: some injuries and had some things that have affected who's

2434
01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:16,440
Speaker 10: actually on the field. The one thing that's been consistent

2435
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:19,519
Speaker 10: defensively is their front. Their front's probably the strength of

2436
01:45:19,640 --> 01:45:22,160
Speaker 10: their team on that side of the ball. And I'd

2437
01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:24,360
Speaker 10: say the one guy that's really elevated his level of

2438
01:45:24,360 --> 01:45:27,280
Speaker 10: play has been Hamilton, so kind of started slow, but

2439
01:45:27,400 --> 01:45:29,759
Speaker 10: provides a really good presence on the interior. Their defense,

2440
01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:32,479
Speaker 10: really good run player and two players on the edge.

2441
01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:35,040
Speaker 10: I mean, they've been as good as any edge combination.

2442
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:35,479
Speaker 1: League.

2443
01:45:35,479 --> 01:45:38,439
Speaker 10: Walker has improved and gotten better, and heinz Allen is

2444
01:45:38,479 --> 01:45:40,720
Speaker 10: just a good football player who pretty much plays well

2445
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:43,320
Speaker 10: every week. So strength of their defenses. In the front,

2446
01:45:43,680 --> 01:45:46,920
Speaker 10: they've had a little bit of turnover at linebacker. The

2447
01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:49,880
Speaker 10: biggest difference or biggest change is Miller has assumed a

2448
01:45:49,920 --> 01:45:52,760
Speaker 10: little bit more responsibilities, even with Olacon kind of being

2449
01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:55,720
Speaker 10: back or in and out. But Miller's emerged as one

2450
01:45:55,760 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 10: of their leading tacklers. I think he's third or fourth,

2451
01:45:58,080 --> 01:46:01,160
Speaker 10: and he's played really well. He's fast, he's off, he's instinctive.

2452
01:46:01,240 --> 01:46:04,320
Speaker 10: So they really have three for two a linebacker with Olacon,

2453
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:08,160
Speaker 10: Lloyd and then now and now Miller. In the secondary,

2454
01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:10,880
Speaker 10: they got Campbell back and you know, so that's a

2455
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:13,040
Speaker 10: player they didn't have earlier in the season who's a

2456
01:46:13,040 --> 01:46:16,280
Speaker 10: good young corner. Darby's been pretty consistent on a perimeter

2457
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:18,479
Speaker 10: and then at nicol If kind of had some guys

2458
01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:20,320
Speaker 10: in and out. It really looks like they kind of

2459
01:46:20,360 --> 01:46:23,519
Speaker 10: said a on Jones, the rookie there, and then Cisco

2460
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 10: in safety was kind of moved Savage back to safety.

2461
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:29,800
Speaker 10: So a lot of good individual players. They've played well

2462
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:31,960
Speaker 10: in Spurts. I mean, they played well against Minnesota, I

2463
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:34,719
Speaker 10: mean held them the thirteen points, had three turnovers, whatever

2464
01:46:34,760 --> 01:46:37,519
Speaker 10: it was. So they present some challenges on the defensive

2465
01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:40,400
Speaker 10: side of ball and offensively again to your point, you know,

2466
01:46:40,479 --> 01:46:42,280
Speaker 10: Max had to play the last couple of games. We'll

2467
01:46:42,280 --> 01:46:45,080
Speaker 10: see where they are with Trevor. But the key to

2468
01:46:45,120 --> 01:46:47,360
Speaker 10: you know, at least on the perimeter with some of

2469
01:46:47,360 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 10: the receiver kirks out and gave Davis's out. But Thomas

2470
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:52,000
Speaker 10: has emerged is really one of the better young receivers

2471
01:46:52,040 --> 01:46:54,960
Speaker 10: in the League's big he's strong, he's fast. They made

2472
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:57,599
Speaker 10: a number of explosive plays and in the first game

2473
01:46:57,600 --> 01:46:59,760
Speaker 10: we had a hard time covering him, and they've kind

2474
01:46:59,760 --> 01:47:01,599
Speaker 10: of you the tight ends. A little bit more strange

2475
01:47:01,680 --> 01:47:03,760
Speaker 10: is his role has kind of emerged. They've used a

2476
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:06,840
Speaker 10: little bit more twelve than thirteen person out offset the

2477
01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:09,880
Speaker 10: e love and personnelity has some losses and then Bigsby's

2478
01:47:09,960 --> 01:47:11,840
Speaker 10: kind of taken on a little bit more of the

2479
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:14,280
Speaker 10: heavy lifting there another you know, the long run there

2480
01:47:14,320 --> 01:47:16,080
Speaker 10: against us, you know where we knock them out of

2481
01:47:16,160 --> 01:47:18,280
Speaker 10: the two and we're able to stop them on fourth down,

2482
01:47:18,320 --> 01:47:20,960
Speaker 10: which is to keep playing the game. So certainly presents

2483
01:47:20,960 --> 01:47:22,920
Speaker 10: some challenges on both sides of the ball, and it's

2484
01:47:22,920 --> 01:47:25,400
Speaker 10: a good kicking game unit as well. So let's say,

2485
01:47:25,439 --> 01:47:29,080
Speaker 10: like most teams, you go into it like they've played

2486
01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:32,080
Speaker 10: well at different points their record is I'm sure they

2487
01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:34,160
Speaker 10: hope their record is a little bit better. But by

2488
01:47:34,200 --> 01:47:36,640
Speaker 10: the same token, we understand the challenges of playing this

2489
01:47:36,680 --> 01:47:39,800
Speaker 10: particular team and playing on the road. So bottom line

2490
01:47:39,840 --> 01:47:41,880
Speaker 10: is we're just going to play good football and we'll

2491
01:47:41,960 --> 01:47:44,360
Speaker 10: have to prepare to play a good Jacksonville team well.

2492
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:46,840
Speaker 3: And the things we have no control over department, the

2493
01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:50,240
Speaker 3: buy doesn't come until after this game Jacksonville coming off

2494
01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:53,400
Speaker 3: of buy. Historically, what does your data say about teams

2495
01:47:53,439 --> 01:47:55,840
Speaker 3: coming off of bye They tend to do this and

2496
01:47:56,080 --> 01:47:58,360
Speaker 3: they work on that. Is it different? Do they come

2497
01:47:58,360 --> 01:48:00,719
Speaker 3: out with more rest and maybe rushed?

2498
01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:01,160
Speaker 1: I don't know.

2499
01:48:01,960 --> 01:48:03,960
Speaker 10: It worked both ways. I think the big thing you're

2500
01:48:04,040 --> 01:48:07,080
Speaker 10: just probably a little bit recovered physically. You're probably in

2501
01:48:07,120 --> 01:48:08,920
Speaker 10: a better position because you haven't had to go through

2502
01:48:08,920 --> 01:48:11,559
Speaker 10: the rigors of the previous game. And then typically what

2503
01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:13,720
Speaker 10: most teams will do is just go back and figure out,

2504
01:48:13,760 --> 01:48:15,280
Speaker 10: all right, what are some things that we might be

2505
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:17,479
Speaker 10: able to incorporate a little bit more or maybe make

2506
01:48:17,560 --> 01:48:20,599
Speaker 10: some subtle modific cases and adjustments. Even when we get

2507
01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:22,040
Speaker 10: to the bye week, it's not going to be like

2508
01:48:22,120 --> 01:48:25,120
Speaker 10: you're going to have a wholesale change of offensive schematics

2509
01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:27,519
Speaker 10: or you know, maybe you have a few wrinkles or

2510
01:48:27,520 --> 01:48:29,600
Speaker 10: have a few complimentary things off of some of the

2511
01:48:29,640 --> 01:48:31,600
Speaker 10: things that you do well. So each team is a

2512
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:33,360
Speaker 10: little bit different how they handle the buye week, but

2513
01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:35,599
Speaker 10: the expectation is that they're going to be fresh, they're

2514
01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:37,639
Speaker 10: going to be prepared, and we're ready to go. They're

2515
01:48:37,640 --> 01:48:39,720
Speaker 10: playing at home, you know, there's going to be a

2516
01:48:39,720 --> 01:48:41,360
Speaker 10: lot of energy there, so we're just going to be

2517
01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:43,360
Speaker 10: ready to match their energy and be prepared and just

2518
01:48:43,439 --> 01:48:46,160
Speaker 10: study the team, study what they've done here over the

2519
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:48,920
Speaker 10: last how many weeks before the buye, and then prepare

2520
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:51,400
Speaker 10: for I would say those things, and it goes back

2521
01:48:51,439 --> 01:48:53,479
Speaker 10: to schematically, there's probably not going to be a lot

2522
01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:55,719
Speaker 10: of change. Then it's going to go back to understanding

2523
01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:57,800
Speaker 10: the personnel. Understanding some of the changes that they made

2524
01:48:57,840 --> 01:48:59,680
Speaker 10: from a personnel standpoint one are.

2525
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:01,679
Speaker 2: The things that struck me. You were talking to Sean

2526
01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:07,160
Speaker 2: at SETH last week. Your recall is really good. You

2527
01:49:07,200 --> 01:49:08,880
Speaker 2: talked about the game with Randy Moss where he had

2528
01:49:08,920 --> 01:49:10,840
Speaker 2: one catch for fourteen yards, but it was just that

2529
01:49:10,920 --> 01:49:12,880
Speaker 2: was what we had to play that game, and you know,

2530
01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:16,320
Speaker 2: in a year and Moss was incredible. When you're thinking

2531
01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:18,280
Speaker 2: of Marion Thomas, you're not comparing to Moss, but just

2532
01:49:18,320 --> 01:49:21,519
Speaker 2: your recall, does he remind you of anybody? And as

2533
01:49:21,520 --> 01:49:25,960
Speaker 2: you're going through your draft assessment, as you want to

2534
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:28,640
Speaker 2: face Brian Thomas, do you think about you know, that

2535
01:49:28,640 --> 01:49:31,360
Speaker 2: guy reminds me of this guy? And you know, against

2536
01:49:31,360 --> 01:49:34,160
Speaker 2: this guy, we did these different things that were successful

2537
01:49:34,160 --> 01:49:34,800
Speaker 2: against him.

2538
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:37,400
Speaker 1: Do you does your recall kind of take you there

2539
01:49:37,400 --> 01:49:38,479
Speaker 1: when you look at a guy like him.

2540
01:49:38,640 --> 01:49:39,840
Speaker 9: No, it's a good question, John.

2541
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:42,320
Speaker 10: You maybe have a reference point, but you kind of

2542
01:49:42,360 --> 01:49:44,880
Speaker 10: have to treat each player sure as their own entity

2543
01:49:44,920 --> 01:49:48,040
Speaker 10: and just understand their strengths, understand maybe some of the

2544
01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:51,240
Speaker 10: things that they may need to improve, and you got

2545
01:49:51,240 --> 01:49:53,679
Speaker 10: to be careful of making some comparisons. I think there's

2546
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:57,800
Speaker 10: a natural tendency each year player comes on a draft, Okay,

2547
01:49:57,800 --> 01:49:59,080
Speaker 10: this guy is like so and so.

2548
01:49:59,600 --> 01:50:03,160
Speaker 9: Well, well he might be, but he really isn't.

2549
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:06,559
Speaker 10: So I would say in Brian's case, he's big, he's fast,

2550
01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:09,360
Speaker 10: he has real good speed for his size, and he's

2551
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:13,200
Speaker 10: faster than maybe you think he appears, but he's moving,

2552
01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:16,120
Speaker 10: so I mean he has a good, really good skill set.

2553
01:50:16,320 --> 01:50:17,800
Speaker 10: I mean when you go back and look at the

2554
01:50:17,880 --> 01:50:21,559
Speaker 10: LSUE receivers from last year, you're watching neighbors, you're watching

2555
01:50:21,600 --> 01:50:25,519
Speaker 10: Thomas Lacey's in a draft. This year, Mason Taylor is

2556
01:50:25,520 --> 01:50:27,639
Speaker 10: probably going to be in the draft. So you're always

2557
01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:30,360
Speaker 10: kind of looking at everything, but you're really studying that

2558
01:50:30,400 --> 01:50:33,240
Speaker 10: particular player and focusing on what he does well. And

2559
01:50:33,280 --> 01:50:35,040
Speaker 10: you just have to be careful of making just too

2560
01:50:35,040 --> 01:50:38,160
Speaker 10: many extrapolations about this player and he's like so and so,

2561
01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:40,759
Speaker 10: because every player in the end is their own entity.

2562
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:43,360
Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you about penalties because the NFL,

2563
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:46,600
Speaker 3: there's a human element here. You have players, you have officiating,

2564
01:50:46,840 --> 01:50:49,720
Speaker 3: you have all of it factoring in, right, So how

2565
01:50:49,720 --> 01:50:52,640
Speaker 3: do you get better at that? Because some penalties have

2566
01:50:52,680 --> 01:50:54,960
Speaker 3: to be about playing aggressively and maybe you take it

2567
01:50:54,960 --> 01:50:55,320
Speaker 3: too far.

2568
01:50:55,439 --> 01:50:57,599
Speaker 1: Others are mental mistakes. How do you see it? Nick?

2569
01:50:57,760 --> 01:51:00,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, as we all know, there's a little bit of

2570
01:51:00,200 --> 01:51:03,000
Speaker 10: a subject development when it comes to officiating. It's a

2571
01:51:03,080 --> 01:51:06,160
Speaker 10: very hard job, so we can't it's just it's difficult

2572
01:51:06,240 --> 01:51:09,360
Speaker 10: and each crew maybe looks at the game or calls

2573
01:51:09,400 --> 01:51:12,200
Speaker 10: the game a little bit differently, which that's just the

2574
01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:13,840
Speaker 10: reality of it. So what we have to do is

2575
01:51:13,880 --> 01:51:17,920
Speaker 10: just understand the crew. What's their tendency, how do they

2576
01:51:17,960 --> 01:51:20,280
Speaker 10: call the calls that are obvious false start some of

2577
01:51:20,320 --> 01:51:22,599
Speaker 10: those penalties, I mean, like anybody, I mean, the three

2578
01:51:22,600 --> 01:51:24,360
Speaker 10: of us can figure those out. It's some of the

2579
01:51:24,360 --> 01:51:26,080
Speaker 10: other ones that are a little bit more subjective. So

2580
01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:28,400
Speaker 10: we ultimately can't control what the officials are going to do.

2581
01:51:29,080 --> 01:51:32,200
Speaker 10: All we can do is play within the rules, understand that,

2582
01:51:32,360 --> 01:51:34,040
Speaker 10: you know, we got to play with a certain technique

2583
01:51:34,160 --> 01:51:36,479
Speaker 10: and each crew is going to maybe call a little

2584
01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:39,320
Speaker 10: bit differently, So I mean, we got to be careful about,

2585
01:51:39,360 --> 01:51:41,479
Speaker 10: you know, making too many comments about the officials and

2586
01:51:41,479 --> 01:51:42,600
Speaker 10: what we think of it, because in the end, it

2587
01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:44,680
Speaker 10: doesn't really matter what we think. All we can do

2588
01:51:44,760 --> 01:51:46,320
Speaker 10: is go out there and play and execute the right

2589
01:51:46,360 --> 01:51:49,040
Speaker 10: way within the rules, and understand maybe how the crew

2590
01:51:49,080 --> 01:51:49,840
Speaker 10: is going to call the game.

2591
01:51:49,960 --> 01:51:52,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can leave the comments to us. We'll we'll

2592
01:51:52,200 --> 01:51:53,000
Speaker 1: leave you out of that.

2593
01:51:53,840 --> 01:51:56,519
Speaker 2: Nick, as Mark was asking a question about the Jaguars

2594
01:51:56,520 --> 01:51:58,720
Speaker 2: coming off of by us going into the buy, I

2595
01:51:58,760 --> 01:52:01,960
Speaker 2: kept thinking about this is our latest buye we've ever had,

2596
01:52:01,960 --> 01:52:04,080
Speaker 2: and I know that's next week, but this is that

2597
01:52:04,160 --> 01:52:07,920
Speaker 2: last game before bye. Do you guys take away? I mean,

2598
01:52:07,960 --> 01:52:10,120
Speaker 2: that's what this is gonna be. Thirteen games in row.

2599
01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:12,280
Speaker 2: I don't know how many teams play thirteen games in

2600
01:52:12,280 --> 01:52:14,080
Speaker 2: a row. Do you take a look at the analytics

2601
01:52:14,080 --> 01:52:16,920
Speaker 2: and look at whether you know players are showing some

2602
01:52:16,960 --> 01:52:18,840
Speaker 2: wear and tear and kind of how do you do

2603
01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:20,240
Speaker 2: you build that in at all?

2604
01:52:20,560 --> 01:52:22,360
Speaker 1: Or do you treat it as a normal week.

2605
01:52:22,560 --> 01:52:24,280
Speaker 2: Do you kind of look at it because it is

2606
01:52:24,360 --> 01:52:26,479
Speaker 2: the thirteenth game of thirteen in a row. How do

2607
01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:28,280
Speaker 2: you kind of look at that as you go into

2608
01:52:28,479 --> 01:52:30,439
Speaker 2: the last week before bye playing so many games in

2609
01:52:30,400 --> 01:52:30,680
Speaker 2: a row.

2610
01:52:30,800 --> 01:52:33,000
Speaker 10: No, it's an interesting idea. We're tracking everything during the

2611
01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:35,479
Speaker 10: course of season. So each practice we go out there,

2612
01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:39,000
Speaker 10: we're measuring their loads high speed running. Where our players

2613
01:52:39,080 --> 01:52:40,880
Speaker 10: maybe some a little bit more tax and others are

2614
01:52:40,880 --> 01:52:43,080
Speaker 10: just certain players we have to manage. Are there certain

2615
01:52:43,080 --> 01:52:44,959
Speaker 10: players we have to be able to lighter on Wednesday

2616
01:52:45,080 --> 01:52:47,439
Speaker 10: and then give them a higher load Thursday, and then Friday,

2617
01:52:47,600 --> 01:52:49,840
Speaker 10: you know, you pull back, so you rely on your

2618
01:52:49,880 --> 01:52:54,080
Speaker 10: internal information and ultimately I think the mindset this week

2619
01:52:54,160 --> 01:52:56,920
Speaker 10: is put everything we have to and can into this

2620
01:52:56,960 --> 01:52:59,040
Speaker 10: game because it's the most important game on the schedule.

2621
01:52:59,560 --> 01:53:01,400
Speaker 9: Then worry about the buy next week.

2622
01:53:01,439 --> 01:53:03,680
Speaker 10: And then typically when you come back, you have to

2623
01:53:03,680 --> 01:53:05,839
Speaker 10: figure out what makes the most sense on that Monday,

2624
01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:09,000
Speaker 10: because you have an extra day, so you want to

2625
01:53:09,040 --> 01:53:11,800
Speaker 10: make sure the players are still rested, recovered, fresh, so

2626
01:53:11,840 --> 01:53:14,200
Speaker 10: you don't want to overdo it Monday, and then you're

2627
01:53:14,240 --> 01:53:16,439
Speaker 10: off and you go multiple days, so you have to

2628
01:53:16,439 --> 01:53:18,559
Speaker 10: figure out schedule the wise, what makes the most sense,

2629
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:20,960
Speaker 10: not to get too far ahead, but once you get

2630
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:23,880
Speaker 10: past the buy, the schedule I would say has some

2631
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:26,400
Speaker 10: nuances that we haven't had in the past, but we

2632
01:53:26,479 --> 01:53:29,240
Speaker 10: have some experience because of the way the schedule had been.

2633
01:53:29,160 --> 01:53:29,799
Speaker 9: Set up earlier.

2634
01:53:29,880 --> 01:53:32,120
Speaker 10: So you try to modify and it just as we

2635
01:53:32,120 --> 01:53:33,720
Speaker 10: go to Miko does a great job and kind of

2636
01:53:33,720 --> 01:53:35,719
Speaker 10: having a pulse of where the team is and taking

2637
01:53:35,720 --> 01:53:38,720
Speaker 10: the information, and you want to make sure physically the

2638
01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:41,040
Speaker 10: players are in a position where they go out there

2639
01:53:41,040 --> 01:53:43,320
Speaker 10: and perform an optimal level on Sunday or Monday or

2640
01:53:43,320 --> 01:53:43,920
Speaker 10: whenever we play.

2641
01:53:44,040 --> 01:53:45,639
Speaker 3: I think I asked you this a couple of years ago,

2642
01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:48,240
Speaker 3: but where are we at now? With you sending somebody

2643
01:53:48,280 --> 01:53:51,559
Speaker 3: to a game where the team is that's two weeks

2644
01:53:51,560 --> 01:53:53,360
Speaker 3: down the line in the schedule, you're going to face

2645
01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:54,559
Speaker 3: them and you're in the building.

2646
01:53:54,640 --> 01:53:56,639
Speaker 1: You're still allowed to do those kinds of things.

2647
01:53:56,720 --> 01:54:00,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, typically the advanced scout will go watch the game

2648
01:54:00,320 --> 01:54:02,840
Speaker 10: of the opponent the week before, unless there's a buy

2649
01:54:02,920 --> 01:54:04,240
Speaker 10: and then maybe you go two weeks out.

2650
01:54:04,280 --> 01:54:06,439
Speaker 9: So it's pretty standard procedure across the league.

2651
01:54:06,520 --> 01:54:09,920
Speaker 10: So, you know, Miami, whenever they play, we'll have somebody

2652
01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:12,439
Speaker 10: that's advanced in Miami that will see them play live.

2653
01:54:12,760 --> 01:54:15,599
Speaker 10: And really you're not looking for too many things other

2654
01:54:15,680 --> 01:54:17,960
Speaker 10: than a couple things to kind of clean up their report, right,

2655
01:54:18,040 --> 01:54:20,280
Speaker 10: maybe send the injuries, what took place during the course

2656
01:54:20,280 --> 01:54:22,920
Speaker 10: of the game, so the coaches have the most updated

2657
01:54:22,960 --> 01:54:26,320
Speaker 10: information in terms of their preparation for that week.

2658
01:54:26,479 --> 01:54:28,519
Speaker 1: How do you do that for yourself? Right?

2659
01:54:28,640 --> 01:54:30,800
Speaker 3: Do you have different people and they have different roles

2660
01:54:30,840 --> 01:54:32,640
Speaker 3: every week looking at specific things.

2661
01:54:32,880 --> 01:54:37,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, every opponent has a specific scout assigned to that team,

2662
01:54:37,560 --> 01:54:40,520
Speaker 10: and then you have other people within the organization, analytics,

2663
01:54:40,560 --> 01:54:42,720
Speaker 10: some of the other different groups will provide information on

2664
01:54:42,760 --> 01:54:46,600
Speaker 10: that particular team, So you kind of segment the responsibility

2665
01:54:46,640 --> 01:54:49,880
Speaker 10: to spread the responsibilities out and everybody kind of has

2666
01:54:49,880 --> 01:54:52,960
Speaker 10: a certain workload each week, all to provide the information

2667
01:54:53,040 --> 01:54:54,560
Speaker 10: to the staff and to the players so we can

2668
01:54:54,720 --> 01:54:57,560
Speaker 10: utilize it and put ourselves in the best position on Sunday.

2669
01:54:57,680 --> 01:54:59,400
Speaker 1: So it's the scouting report on Mount Union.

2670
01:55:00,560 --> 01:55:04,280
Speaker 10: They're a good football team that we haven't beaten I

2671
01:55:04,280 --> 01:55:05,080
Speaker 10: think in a long time.

2672
01:55:05,160 --> 01:55:05,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2673
01:55:05,400 --> 01:55:07,440
Speaker 9: Sure, if you ask Cecil, he'll tell you if and

2674
01:55:07,480 --> 01:55:08,320
Speaker 9: when it's ever happened.

2675
01:55:08,360 --> 01:55:10,320
Speaker 3: They have all those players, right, don't They have two

2676
01:55:10,360 --> 01:55:11,600
Speaker 3: hundred players or something.

2677
01:55:11,880 --> 01:55:14,760
Speaker 10: They've done a great job with the program, so they do.

2678
01:55:14,800 --> 01:55:17,800
Speaker 10: They have a massive amount of kids at their disposal.

2679
01:55:17,920 --> 01:55:20,560
Speaker 10: So however, many dress you know, varsity and then they

2680
01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:23,640
Speaker 10: have the university program. But it's a great program. Have

2681
01:55:23,680 --> 01:55:25,600
Speaker 10: a lot of respect for their program what they've done

2682
01:55:25,640 --> 01:55:27,640
Speaker 10: through the years. There's not so many programs in college

2683
01:55:27,640 --> 01:55:31,360
Speaker 10: football that can compete with what Mount Union does, regardless

2684
01:55:31,400 --> 01:55:33,840
Speaker 10: of the level. So it'll be I'm sure it'll be

2685
01:55:33,840 --> 01:55:35,240
Speaker 10: a fun environment alliance there.

2686
01:55:35,320 --> 01:55:38,760
Speaker 3: This week, there's executive vice president and general manager Nick Cassario.

2703
01:56:28,440 --> 01:56:32,200

2704
01:56:32,240 --> 01:56:33,760
Speaker 3: I mean, you'd love to just do a three hour

2705
01:56:33,840 --> 01:56:36,480
Speaker 3: podcast with Matt Burke and talk about anything but football.

2706
01:56:36,520 --> 01:56:37,040
Speaker 1: At times.

2707
01:56:37,440 --> 01:56:39,440
Speaker 3: Of course, you do want to talk about football because

2708
01:56:39,440 --> 01:56:41,360
Speaker 3: the defensive unit is playing so well. They are a

2709
01:56:41,440 --> 01:56:44,400
Speaker 3: top five defense, lead the league in takeaways. So many

2710
01:56:44,440 --> 01:56:47,680
Speaker 3: different things to highlight here, including Danil Hunter, and we'll

2711
01:56:47,680 --> 01:56:51,000
Speaker 3: get to that, but it started off this conversation with

2712
01:56:51,320 --> 01:56:53,640
Speaker 3: a few things, including, but not limited to the fact

2713
01:56:53,680 --> 01:56:55,840
Speaker 3: that he went to Dartmouth and John Harris went to

2714
01:56:56,080 --> 01:56:57,880
Speaker 3: Brown and the two just played each other.

2715
01:56:57,920 --> 01:56:59,600
Speaker 1: So you have to let the Ivy League guys have

2716
01:56:59,680 --> 01:57:00,520
Speaker 1: at it little bit.

2717
01:57:00,840 --> 01:57:05,960
Speaker 3: And also, it's my Cause, My Kicks weekend for not

2718
01:57:06,280 --> 01:57:08,720
Speaker 3: just the players they have my Cause, my cleats, but

2719
01:57:09,120 --> 01:57:12,000
Speaker 3: support personnel, coaches, they have my Cause, my kicks. I

2720
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:14,920
Speaker 3: have my own cause with my Kicks, Junior Achievement. I'm

2721
01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:17,240
Speaker 3: on the board of directors of Junior Achievement, have been

2722
01:57:17,320 --> 01:57:19,440
Speaker 3: for over twenty years, and I have my annual golf

2723
01:57:19,520 --> 01:57:21,520
Speaker 3: tournament in the spring. A little plug there. We'll get

2724
01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:24,640
Speaker 3: to that later. But for Matt Burke, it's the Diane

2725
01:57:24,680 --> 01:57:30,880
Speaker 3: Fosse research efforts that go into the preservation of gorillas

2726
01:57:31,280 --> 01:57:34,920
Speaker 3: in the wild. Because the population was nearly extinct in

2727
01:57:34,960 --> 01:57:36,360
Speaker 3: the eighties, they've built it back up.

2728
01:57:36,400 --> 01:57:37,400
Speaker 1: She was a huge part of it.

2729
01:57:37,600 --> 01:57:40,200
Speaker 3: She was featured in a movie called Gorilla's in the

2730
01:57:40,240 --> 01:57:43,680
Speaker 3: Mist in nineteen eighty eight. Some of you may have

2731
01:57:43,760 --> 01:57:45,800
Speaker 3: seen that the young people here had never heard of it,

2732
01:57:46,040 --> 01:57:47,040
Speaker 3: but it's Sigourney Weaver.

2733
01:57:47,080 --> 01:57:47,880
Speaker 1: It's a really good movie.

2734
01:57:47,920 --> 01:57:51,240
Speaker 3: Actually, Brian Brown good cast, good flick, and it's a

2735
01:57:51,280 --> 01:57:55,680
Speaker 3: biopick about Diane Fosse, who Matt Burke and his now

2736
01:57:55,760 --> 01:57:57,200
Speaker 3: wife then fiance.

2737
01:57:57,440 --> 01:57:59,400
Speaker 1: I guess she became his fiance on the trip. You'll

2738
01:57:59,440 --> 01:58:00,200
Speaker 1: hear the story.

2739
01:58:00,320 --> 01:58:03,680
Speaker 3: They became very interested in this cause that's some off

2740
01:58:03,680 --> 01:58:04,480
Speaker 3: football stuff.

2741
01:58:04,480 --> 01:58:05,240
Speaker 1: But let's get to.

2742
01:58:05,120 --> 01:58:08,720
Speaker 3: That conversation big part of it with Matt Burke defensive coordinator.

2743
01:58:09,280 --> 01:58:13,000
Speaker 2: Let's address the eight hundred pound gorilla in the room. Oh,

2744
01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:18,200
Speaker 2: we'll get to that in a second. Okay, Darbu beat Brown. Alright,

2745
01:58:18,240 --> 01:58:20,839
Speaker 2: this past week, go and gloat. You got thirty seconds

2746
01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:21,400
Speaker 2: to glove.

2747
01:58:21,360 --> 01:58:23,840
Speaker 11: Go beat first of all beats probably an understatement. Yes,

2748
01:58:24,600 --> 01:58:25,680
Speaker 11: fifty six we hung up.

2749
01:58:25,760 --> 01:58:26,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

2750
01:58:26,960 --> 01:58:28,760
Speaker 1: Fifty six It was not good and it's not a

2751
01:58:28,760 --> 01:58:29,080
Speaker 1: good thing.

2752
01:58:29,160 --> 01:58:31,560
Speaker 11: And bought us to share the title of the league title.

2753
01:58:31,680 --> 01:58:35,120
Speaker 11: So I think that's three in a row for the Green. Yeah, someday, someday,

2754
01:58:35,200 --> 01:58:35,600
Speaker 11: you know.

2755
01:58:35,600 --> 01:58:38,280
Speaker 2: Someday, I mean a man could dream. It's been since

2756
01:58:38,320 --> 01:58:40,320
Speaker 2: I think two thousand and five maybe for us.

2757
01:58:40,400 --> 01:58:42,280
Speaker 1: So do they play this weekend or is it done?

2758
01:58:42,360 --> 01:58:42,680
Speaker 5: That's it?

2759
01:58:42,840 --> 01:58:43,240
Speaker 1: That's over.

2760
01:58:43,360 --> 01:58:46,320
Speaker 11: It's a ten game schedule. They literally start the Saturday

2761
01:58:46,360 --> 01:58:49,040
Speaker 11: before Thanksgiving and work backwards and no buys ten straight.

2762
01:58:49,840 --> 01:58:51,760
Speaker 1: That's it. It's over, Wowell. They've done it the way

2763
01:58:51,800 --> 01:58:52,800
Speaker 1: they will always do it.

2764
01:58:52,840 --> 01:58:56,200
Speaker 2: Now let's address the real eight hundred pound gorilla in

2765
01:58:56,280 --> 01:58:59,240
Speaker 2: the room, and that are these beautiful You see how

2766
01:58:59,280 --> 01:59:01,760
Speaker 2: I did that that you learned at IVY these schools

2767
01:59:02,120 --> 01:59:05,920
Speaker 2: we have your my cause, Mike. Yeah, these are freaking awesome,

2768
01:59:05,960 --> 01:59:09,880
Speaker 2: by the way. Cool the Diana Fossey Gorilla Fund International. Now,

2769
01:59:10,040 --> 01:59:11,880
Speaker 2: we had a feeling when these were sitting in here

2770
01:59:12,560 --> 01:59:14,600
Speaker 2: that there was a story in The very first words

2771
01:59:14,600 --> 01:59:17,080
Speaker 2: out of your mouth were, well, there's a story always,

2772
01:59:17,480 --> 01:59:19,960
Speaker 2: So let's get a story with First of all, why

2773
01:59:20,360 --> 01:59:21,280
Speaker 2: why this foundation?

2774
01:59:21,800 --> 01:59:23,160
Speaker 5: And what do you think about the kicks?

2775
01:59:23,240 --> 01:59:25,360
Speaker 11: Kicks are sweet, man, I like them, great job.

2776
01:59:25,760 --> 01:59:27,360
Speaker 1: I was appreciative. Honestly, this is cool.

2777
01:59:27,360 --> 01:59:28,760
Speaker 11: This is like the first team I've been on that

2778
01:59:29,400 --> 01:59:31,800
Speaker 11: kind of lets coaches participate in and helps us out.

2779
01:59:31,640 --> 01:59:32,040
Speaker 5: With this stuff.

2780
01:59:32,080 --> 01:59:35,280
Speaker 11: So that's that's pretty sweet. I'm appreciated the organization for that.

2781
01:59:35,320 --> 01:59:42,120
Speaker 11: But my wife and I got engaged in Uganda hiking

2782
01:59:42,160 --> 01:59:44,800
Speaker 11: with gorillas. Oh nice, So we were on a trip

2783
01:59:44,840 --> 01:59:50,000
Speaker 11: over there and there's it's actually at the time there

2784
01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:52,920
Speaker 11: were only this was however many years ago that was

2785
01:59:52,960 --> 01:59:55,960
Speaker 11: but there were only about eight hundred mountain gorillas in

2786
01:59:56,000 --> 01:59:58,400
Speaker 11: the wild still in the eighties. It was down like

2787
01:59:58,440 --> 02:00:00,840
Speaker 11: it was like two hundred and fifty left obviously in

2788
02:00:00,920 --> 02:00:05,000
Speaker 11: dangered species, and so it's obviously near and dear to us.

2789
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:07,240
Speaker 11: Like we got engaged over there like that just obviously

2790
02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:09,360
Speaker 11: a big moment in our lives, and it was a

2791
02:00:09,400 --> 02:00:11,960
Speaker 11: huge experience for us besides the besides an engagement part,

2792
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:14,400
Speaker 11: like just being around it. We spent three days where

2793
02:00:14,400 --> 02:00:18,480
Speaker 11: you hike out into the been windy impenetrable forest. There

2794
02:00:18,480 --> 02:00:20,840
Speaker 11: as a national park there right in the Rwanda you've

2795
02:00:20,840 --> 02:00:24,880
Speaker 11: gone to border and you can kind of track the

2796
02:00:24,880 --> 02:00:27,840
Speaker 11: gorillas and see them. I mean we were ten feet

2797
02:00:27,880 --> 02:00:31,440
Speaker 11: from from gorilla pods, which is really really cool experience.

2798
02:00:31,520 --> 02:00:34,160
Speaker 11: So the fund is one of the ones that we

2799
02:00:34,200 --> 02:00:39,160
Speaker 11: actually give to regularly annually that just continues to protect

2800
02:00:39,160 --> 02:00:42,560
Speaker 11: the environment, protect the habitat, preserve poaching still that goes

2801
02:00:42,600 --> 02:00:45,560
Speaker 11: on there and stuff. And just like I said, probably

2802
02:00:45,600 --> 02:00:49,040
Speaker 11: in the last we call it thirty forty years, I

2803
02:00:49,040 --> 02:00:54,040
Speaker 11: mean they've almost like probably quadrupled the population of Mounta

2804
02:00:54,080 --> 02:00:57,360
Speaker 11: gorillas in the wild. So it's just part of that

2805
02:00:57,400 --> 02:01:00,400
Speaker 11: process to help continue preserve those environments. Obviously now with

2806
02:01:00,560 --> 02:01:04,360
Speaker 11: just the forests and stuff that their their habitats are

2807
02:01:04,360 --> 02:01:07,600
Speaker 11: getting affected and stuff. So and then obviously we have

2808
02:01:07,640 --> 02:01:10,160
Speaker 11: a personal connection to the area and to the animals.

2809
02:01:10,160 --> 02:01:13,560
Speaker 11: So yeah, that's kind of where that started. So that's cool,

2810
02:01:13,640 --> 02:01:14,240
Speaker 11: that'll be fun.

2811
02:01:14,360 --> 02:01:17,960
Speaker 3: So when Lindsay Fox, our pr goddess, informed me that

2812
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:21,959
Speaker 3: the Coach Burke Cause was the Diane Fozzy Gorilla Foundation,

2813
02:01:22,240 --> 02:01:25,680
Speaker 3: I went full Sigourney Weaver. Gorilla's in the Miss nineteen

2814
02:01:25,720 --> 02:01:27,920
Speaker 3: eighty eight. I've seen the movie, so that's how I'm

2815
02:01:27,960 --> 02:01:30,360
Speaker 3: familiar with and I read up on Diane Fosse after

2816
02:01:30,360 --> 02:01:32,680
Speaker 3: seeing the movie, and I saw it again relatively recently

2817
02:01:32,720 --> 02:01:35,360
Speaker 3: within the last year and a half. Ye did that

2818
02:01:35,400 --> 02:01:37,640
Speaker 3: movie have a lot to do with the support really,

2819
02:01:37,640 --> 02:01:40,400
Speaker 3: because it's great publicity at the time in the eighties

2820
02:01:40,840 --> 02:01:42,120
Speaker 3: to alert everybody to this.

2821
02:01:42,240 --> 02:01:45,920
Speaker 11: Absolutely like her work over there and obviously like spending

2822
02:01:45,960 --> 02:01:47,840
Speaker 11: time and I think she was a little bit more

2823
02:01:47,840 --> 02:01:49,640
Speaker 11: focused in on the Rwanda side of things. It's the

2824
02:01:49,640 --> 02:01:52,240
Speaker 11: borders right there, and so like I think ninety percent

2825
02:01:52,280 --> 02:01:54,800
Speaker 11: of the world's gorilla population is in that one region,

2826
02:01:55,640 --> 02:01:57,600
Speaker 11: and those there's like a mountain range that runs through there.

2827
02:01:57,640 --> 02:02:02,640
Speaker 11: So obviously her like sort of recognition internationally like allow

2828
02:02:02,680 --> 02:02:04,960
Speaker 11: there to start this and and sort of like continue

2829
02:02:04,960 --> 02:02:07,400
Speaker 11: to preserve the animals. So it's been cool, like just

2830
02:02:07,400 --> 02:02:10,000
Speaker 11: to see them, even like I said, my way's gonna

2831
02:02:10,040 --> 02:02:13,560
Speaker 11: kill me, I gauged. I think what year that was,

2832
02:02:14,120 --> 02:02:17,120
Speaker 11: seventeen maybe, so like even the last seven years, I

2833
02:02:17,160 --> 02:02:20,800
Speaker 11: think it's it's added another like almost two hundred gorillas

2834
02:02:20,800 --> 02:02:22,480
Speaker 11: have been added into the wild population.

2835
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:26,920
Speaker 2: So did you go there, I mean, obviously were you

2836
02:02:27,000 --> 02:02:30,080
Speaker 2: aware at the time or was this something that when

2837
02:02:30,080 --> 02:02:33,080
Speaker 2: you got there you were made aware of that situation.

2838
02:02:33,160 --> 02:02:35,080
Speaker 2: Did you go there with that thought in mind? Or

2839
02:02:35,080 --> 02:02:37,200
Speaker 2: did you go there just want to have a great

2840
02:02:37,680 --> 02:02:40,320
Speaker 2: situation and then oh, man, look at this, this is

2841
02:02:40,360 --> 02:02:42,400
Speaker 2: something that we had discovered while we were there.

2842
02:02:42,440 --> 02:02:44,560
Speaker 11: No, we went specifically for this, Like you have to

2843
02:02:44,600 --> 02:02:48,240
Speaker 11: kind of plan ahead. They because gorillas are so close

2844
02:02:48,320 --> 02:02:52,320
Speaker 11: to like humans, like a lot of the diseases of

2845
02:02:52,400 --> 02:02:54,480
Speaker 11: same diseases affect them and things, so they actually limit

2846
02:02:54,520 --> 02:02:56,720
Speaker 11: the exposure. So you kind of have to buy almost

2847
02:02:56,720 --> 02:02:58,920
Speaker 11: like lottery tickets to like actually like go on some

2848
02:02:58,960 --> 02:03:01,440
Speaker 11: of these tracks. They try to limit the number of

2849
02:03:02,120 --> 02:03:04,400
Speaker 11: humans that actually get up and and things like that,

2850
02:03:04,480 --> 02:03:05,920
Speaker 11: so you have to kind of plan ahead to like

2851
02:03:05,920 --> 02:03:07,320
Speaker 11: actually get a get a chance to do this.

2852
02:03:07,360 --> 02:03:08,480
Speaker 5: So that was our goal.

2853
02:03:08,560 --> 02:03:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was cool when you got engaged on the trip.

2854
02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:15,160
Speaker 3: Was that so you would win every engagement story I've.

2855
02:03:14,960 --> 02:03:16,440
Speaker 1: Got right here?

2856
02:03:16,680 --> 02:03:18,200
Speaker 5: No, I think this the clock was ticking.

2857
02:03:18,240 --> 02:03:20,280
Speaker 11: We've been danged for about five years already, so I

2858
02:03:20,280 --> 02:03:21,720
Speaker 11: had to do it at some point. But no, we

2859
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:24,160
Speaker 11: just we travel a lot. It's like been part of

2860
02:03:24,200 --> 02:03:26,080
Speaker 11: that was part of our relationship still is to this day,

2861
02:03:26,160 --> 02:03:28,160
Speaker 11: like poth of us to a lot of international travel,

2862
02:03:28,240 --> 02:03:30,080
Speaker 11: and so it just kind of felt like the right

2863
02:03:30,200 --> 02:03:30,800
Speaker 11: right thing to do.

2864
02:03:31,160 --> 02:03:36,320
Speaker 2: Speaking of marriage, your work, marriage, Yes, with obviously the

2865
02:03:36,320 --> 02:03:38,760
Speaker 2: defense you're being married to the defense just your thoughts

2866
02:03:38,880 --> 02:03:41,640
Speaker 2: thus far, coach, because the last couple of games, especially

2867
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:46,760
Speaker 2: at home, we've had situations where five interceptions, eight sacks.

2868
02:03:46,800 --> 02:03:48,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you're doing stuff that we're looking up during

2869
02:03:48,920 --> 02:03:50,520
Speaker 2: the third or fourth quarter of a game, going, hey,

2870
02:03:50,520 --> 02:03:53,600
Speaker 2: what's the record for sacks in a game? How many interceptions?

2871
02:03:53,600 --> 02:03:55,720
Speaker 2: What's our record for interceptions? We're doing things that the

2872
02:03:55,760 --> 02:03:59,200
Speaker 2: Texans have never done before. Defensively, how do you kind

2873
02:03:59,200 --> 02:04:01,040
Speaker 2: of feel about what the unit has been able to

2874
02:04:01,040 --> 02:04:01,520
Speaker 2: do lately.

2875
02:04:01,960 --> 02:04:03,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, obviously there's a lot of a lot of good things,

2876
02:04:04,560 --> 02:04:08,160
Speaker 11: all those things. That's and and I would say, you know,

2877
02:04:09,120 --> 02:04:10,480
Speaker 11: we have dynamic playmakers.

2878
02:04:10,560 --> 02:04:10,920
Speaker 5: We do.

2879
02:04:11,040 --> 02:04:13,960
Speaker 11: We have good players, and there's explosive talent on the board.

2880
02:04:14,000 --> 02:04:17,280
Speaker 11: And I think really and really the messaging this week

2881
02:04:17,320 --> 02:04:19,440
Speaker 11: has been like that's all well and good and and

2882
02:04:19,640 --> 02:04:23,440
Speaker 11: and being an explosive defense, and everyone talks about explosive outfits.

2883
02:04:23,480 --> 02:04:25,880
Speaker 11: I look at us as an explosive defense and the

2884
02:04:25,880 --> 02:04:28,320
Speaker 11: ability to create big plays and sacks and we've had

2885
02:04:28,400 --> 02:04:31,400
Speaker 11: a touchdown last two games, and the turnovers and all

2886
02:04:31,440 --> 02:04:35,400
Speaker 11: those things. But you know, there's still a little bit

2887
02:04:35,400 --> 02:04:38,240
Speaker 11: of inconsistency in the play and play out execution of

2888
02:04:38,280 --> 02:04:40,880
Speaker 11: your job, and so that can either carry so far

2889
02:04:41,000 --> 02:04:43,600
Speaker 11: or can mass things or that's when to me, that's

2890
02:04:43,600 --> 02:04:46,080
Speaker 11: when the results are a little up and down, right,

2891
02:04:46,200 --> 02:04:47,760
Speaker 11: when you when you have to cut through and say,

2892
02:04:47,760 --> 02:04:50,840
Speaker 11: hey man, we have to be able to execute consistently

2893
02:04:50,880 --> 02:04:53,040
Speaker 11: playing and play out within the details of your job

2894
02:04:53,120 --> 02:04:56,080
Speaker 11: or whatever your responsibility is. And if that's missing then

2895
02:04:56,480 --> 02:04:59,240
Speaker 11: the big plays happened, but that fluctuates, right, and then

2896
02:04:59,480 --> 02:05:01,840
Speaker 11: you're giving up big plays also at stuff. So I

2897
02:05:01,840 --> 02:05:04,560
Speaker 11: think our messaging, especially coming off last week, is like, hey,

2898
02:05:04,600 --> 02:05:07,400
Speaker 11: we've got like great things and we wish we could

2899
02:05:07,440 --> 02:05:10,200
Speaker 11: be celebrating those things more. I mean, Daniel Hunter had

2900
02:05:10,200 --> 02:05:12,160
Speaker 11: an unbelievable game last week, you know what I mean,

2901
02:05:12,200 --> 02:05:15,000
Speaker 11: with three sacks and five TFLs. But we're not talking

2902
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:17,800
Speaker 11: about that because we lost and because and why did

2903
02:05:17,840 --> 02:05:20,320
Speaker 11: that happen? And so I think the messaging has been, hey,

2904
02:05:20,360 --> 02:05:24,200
Speaker 11: we need to work on the consistency level of execution

2905
02:05:24,480 --> 02:05:26,640
Speaker 11: play and play out. I know Demico talked about focus

2906
02:05:26,720 --> 02:05:29,360
Speaker 11: or in the week and saying like, hey, this play,

2907
02:05:29,400 --> 02:05:32,640
Speaker 11: what's my responsibility like hyper focus on this? And when

2908
02:05:32,640 --> 02:05:34,600
Speaker 11: you do that in the consistency level comes now the

2909
02:05:34,640 --> 02:05:37,280
Speaker 11: talent and the explosive and those big plays are leading

2910
02:05:37,320 --> 02:05:38,120
Speaker 11: to bigger results.

2911
02:05:38,600 --> 02:05:42,080
Speaker 3: So what about facing Trevor Lawrence possibly most likely and

2912
02:05:42,120 --> 02:05:44,480
Speaker 3: the Jacksonville Jaguars whatever they put on the field, because

2913
02:05:44,480 --> 02:05:46,800
Speaker 3: they do have explosive playmakers. They haven't always done it

2914
02:05:46,840 --> 02:05:48,600
Speaker 3: this year, but they're capable of doing.

2915
02:05:48,440 --> 02:05:49,280
Speaker 1: No doubt, no doubt.

2916
02:05:49,320 --> 02:05:50,760
Speaker 11: I mean, I think it's the same thing. I mean,

2917
02:05:51,080 --> 02:05:53,800
Speaker 11: two good running backs, a great tight end, a great receiver.

2918
02:05:53,960 --> 02:05:56,960
Speaker 11: I mean, and yeah, they're starting quarterback. We're asuming coming back.

2919
02:05:57,000 --> 02:05:58,040
Speaker 5: We'll see how that plays out.

2920
02:05:58,040 --> 02:06:01,880
Speaker 11: But you know, division game and on the road again,

2921
02:06:01,960 --> 02:06:04,080
Speaker 11: so I mean all those things like it's it's it's

2922
02:06:04,120 --> 02:06:06,800
Speaker 11: gonna take our best effort. And I think again we're

2923
02:06:06,800 --> 02:06:09,040
Speaker 11: starting with hey man, like, we got to do it

2924
02:06:09,120 --> 02:06:11,560
Speaker 11: play in and play out, and we can't. We can't

2925
02:06:11,560 --> 02:06:13,440
Speaker 11: slip all my bad. There's there's not a week for

2926
02:06:13,520 --> 02:06:15,120
Speaker 11: my bads. I mean, they have a lot of talent

2927
02:06:15,160 --> 02:06:18,320
Speaker 11: and a lot of capability of creating plays on you.

2928
02:06:18,400 --> 02:06:21,520
Speaker 11: So hopefully we can go down and show really what

2929
02:06:22,040 --> 02:06:24,240
Speaker 11: what improvements we've made going through this process.

2930
02:06:24,520 --> 02:06:27,880
Speaker 2: Coach, you mentioned Danil the last two games. It feels

2931
02:06:27,920 --> 02:06:29,960
Speaker 2: like there are things that he's doing on a field

2932
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:32,120
Speaker 2: where if you're watching on film and you got to

2933
02:06:32,120 --> 02:06:34,400
Speaker 2: a little quicker, you're like, what what did I do?

2934
02:06:34,520 --> 02:06:37,880
Speaker 1: What am I? Holy cow? What did he just do

2935
02:06:38,360 --> 02:06:39,680
Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback here?

2936
02:06:39,880 --> 02:06:42,520
Speaker 2: It feels like he's hitting a stride that I don't

2937
02:06:42,520 --> 02:06:45,000
Speaker 2: even know that he hit Minnesota. What's been kind of

2938
02:06:45,000 --> 02:06:46,880
Speaker 2: the biggest thing for him to kind of get to

2939
02:06:46,920 --> 02:06:48,360
Speaker 2: this level, because it feels like he's played at a

2940
02:06:48,440 --> 02:06:49,280
Speaker 2: high level all year.

2941
02:06:49,560 --> 02:06:51,080
Speaker 5: Last two weeks, it's almost like he went to a

2942
02:06:51,080 --> 02:06:51,800
Speaker 5: different level.

2943
02:06:51,920 --> 02:06:56,280
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, he's on a heater for sure. I don't know, man,

2944
02:06:56,400 --> 02:06:58,600
Speaker 11: Like I do think he's kind of just growing into it.

2945
02:06:58,640 --> 02:06:59,840
Speaker 11: You know, we all I say this a lot.

2946
02:07:00,040 --> 02:07:00,200
Speaker 2: Man.

2947
02:07:00,240 --> 02:07:02,640
Speaker 11: It's it's a different system of it's it's a different

2948
02:07:02,680 --> 02:07:04,800
Speaker 11: style of kind of how we how we play and

2949
02:07:04,800 --> 02:07:07,000
Speaker 11: preach things here and it and and even though when

2950
02:07:07,040 --> 02:07:09,400
Speaker 11: he's a great player and he is, like, it still

2951
02:07:09,440 --> 02:07:12,400
Speaker 11: takes some growth and some time to really acclimate to

2952
02:07:12,400 --> 02:07:14,480
Speaker 11: to our our system and our style. And so I

2953
02:07:14,520 --> 02:07:18,720
Speaker 11: think he's just getting more and more comfortable within that.

2954
02:07:18,800 --> 02:07:21,320
Speaker 11: And so the sort of like you know, for anyone,

2955
02:07:21,360 --> 02:07:23,920
Speaker 11: not just him, like when you're learning something new, like

2956
02:07:24,040 --> 02:07:27,560
Speaker 11: the hesitation and the uncertainty, like obviously the more reps

2957
02:07:27,560 --> 02:07:29,720
Speaker 11: you get, that part's going away. And again now he's

2958
02:07:29,800 --> 02:07:32,240
Speaker 11: just he's such a he's like in a flow state

2959
02:07:32,360 --> 02:07:34,560
Speaker 11: right now, and it's just it's just happening naturally. He's

2960
02:07:34,600 --> 02:07:37,800
Speaker 11: not thinking, he's just really out there just playing and

2961
02:07:37,840 --> 02:07:39,960
Speaker 11: reacting to what he's seeing. So he's just to me,

2962
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:41,800
Speaker 11: it's been a little bit like more he's playing with

2963
02:07:41,800 --> 02:07:45,120
Speaker 11: a little more freedom almost mentally because he's just not

2964
02:07:45,320 --> 02:07:47,000
Speaker 11: I think he's kind of he's got it.

2965
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:48,000
Speaker 9: It kind of clicked for him.

2966
02:07:47,920 --> 02:07:52,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, players getting it in. It's kind of in

2967
02:07:52,560 --> 02:07:53,160
Speaker 1: that area.

2968
02:07:53,160 --> 02:07:55,840
Speaker 11: Is I think he sure has been, so I hope

2969
02:07:55,840 --> 02:07:57,320
Speaker 11: he stays that way for a couple of months.

2970
02:07:57,640 --> 02:08:00,720
Speaker 3: Like I said, outstanding stuff with defensive coordinate Matt Burke

2971
02:08:00,800 --> 02:08:03,240
Speaker 3: in this bonus hour of Texans All Access some of

2972
02:08:03,240 --> 02:08:05,400
Speaker 3: the best stuff of the week, including but not limited

2973
02:08:05,440 --> 02:08:09,440
Speaker 3: to Eric Murray starting safety on this unit.

2974
02:08:09,640 --> 02:08:12,000
Speaker 1: And Eric Murray is a veteran.

2975
02:08:12,240 --> 02:08:14,440
Speaker 3: He's learned how to take care of his body differently

2976
02:08:14,520 --> 02:08:17,320
Speaker 3: over the years. On Tuesday, during the Players Show with

2977
02:08:17,440 --> 02:08:21,440
Speaker 3: nd Kalou, we talked about Murray's recovery efforts. He was

2978
02:08:21,480 --> 02:08:24,480
Speaker 3: talking about needles. This is sort of an acupuncture thing.

2979
02:08:24,520 --> 02:08:28,280
Speaker 3: We'll discuss that, and we talked about red light therapy

2980
02:08:28,400 --> 02:08:30,680
Speaker 3: and a whole bunch of other region and rehab stuff

2981
02:08:30,880 --> 02:08:34,000
Speaker 3: that Murray uses, among other things, to keep his body

2982
02:08:34,120 --> 02:08:37,440
Speaker 3: going as he marches on through his career as an

2983
02:08:37,560 --> 02:08:38,520
Speaker 3: NFL defender.

2984
02:08:38,800 --> 02:08:41,360
Speaker 12: Yeah, this week to week, sometimes you fo get stepped on,

2985
02:08:41,560 --> 02:08:43,760
Speaker 12: or you might take a different hit so whatever you

2986
02:08:43,840 --> 02:08:46,040
Speaker 12: feel in for that week, just make sure you can

2987
02:08:46,200 --> 02:08:47,680
Speaker 12: kind of configure your plan and fit that.

2988
02:08:48,080 --> 02:08:48,240
Speaker 1: Now.

2989
02:08:48,280 --> 02:08:50,280
Speaker 13: I know, you know, my last year was in two

2990
02:08:50,320 --> 02:08:51,880
Speaker 13: thousand and eight, so I'm an old man, so I

2991
02:08:51,920 --> 02:08:55,160
Speaker 13: know massage, I know the needles, you know, but the

2992
02:08:55,160 --> 02:08:56,440
Speaker 13: red light explain that to me.

2993
02:08:56,480 --> 02:08:59,120
Speaker 12: And some of these it's more on a cellular level

2994
02:09:00,160 --> 02:09:04,000
Speaker 12: to kind of facilitate healing from that standpoint. So you know,

2995
02:09:04,240 --> 02:09:06,280
Speaker 12: as we go through life, we're influenced by light some

2996
02:09:06,560 --> 02:09:09,920
Speaker 12: like you know, sunset, So that's kind of the idea

2997
02:09:10,000 --> 02:09:12,920
Speaker 12: behind it, in these different forms of light to help

2998
02:09:13,080 --> 02:09:14,840
Speaker 12: heal the body from inside out.

2999
02:09:15,200 --> 02:09:17,160
Speaker 1: Well, this is interesting, all right.

3000
02:09:17,160 --> 02:09:19,960
Speaker 3: And the needles, it's kind of acupuncture ish.

3001
02:09:20,280 --> 02:09:22,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's dry kneeling, the needles a little bigger. It's

3002
02:09:22,320 --> 02:09:25,480
Speaker 12: a little bigger, so it's more of a a more

3003
02:09:25,520 --> 02:09:29,480
Speaker 12: of a palpitation rather than acupuncture. Is like needle and

3004
02:09:29,520 --> 02:09:31,640
Speaker 12: then you kind of rest and you know, sit there.

3005
02:09:31,880 --> 02:09:33,280
Speaker 1: So does that hurt?

3006
02:09:33,360 --> 02:09:35,880
Speaker 3: I actually had this done once, indeed, because I had

3007
02:09:35,880 --> 02:09:38,840
Speaker 3: a foot problem playing basketball and Jeremy, one of the

3008
02:09:38,840 --> 02:09:41,120
Speaker 3: guys in there, he said, I we'll try the needle,

3009
02:09:41,160 --> 02:09:44,040
Speaker 3: and I was like, I'm not gonna look and it does.

3010
02:09:44,240 --> 02:09:46,960
Speaker 3: You know, it feels interesting, like there's a needle in

3011
02:09:47,000 --> 02:09:49,400
Speaker 3: your foot. Okay, so you go through this a lot.

3012
02:09:49,760 --> 02:09:52,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, it really anything that happens like right away, it

3013
02:09:52,960 --> 02:09:55,920
Speaker 12: helps alleviate it pretty fast, so you can kind of

3014
02:09:56,040 --> 02:09:58,280
Speaker 12: sense like if it worked or not right away.

3015
02:09:58,320 --> 02:10:00,360
Speaker 1: Are they hitting the nerve or something and notknock it

3016
02:10:00,400 --> 02:10:01,320
Speaker 1: out or not?

3017
02:10:01,360 --> 02:10:03,720
Speaker 12: Really the nerve more more so the muscle. They try

3018
02:10:03,760 --> 02:10:07,200
Speaker 12: to avoid the nerves, but you know, sometimes things happen.

3019
02:10:07,320 --> 02:10:08,720
Speaker 1: So I think it's a big distraction.

3020
02:10:08,880 --> 02:10:10,920
Speaker 3: I got a needle in me, so I don't feel

3021
02:10:10,960 --> 02:10:11,760
Speaker 3: the other thing anymore.

3022
02:10:11,760 --> 02:10:16,080
Speaker 13: I'm definitely so a lot of guys like for me,

3023
02:10:16,880 --> 02:10:19,360
Speaker 13: you listen to the older guys Brian Dawkins, you know,

3024
02:10:19,400 --> 02:10:21,520
Speaker 13: he really talked to me and taught me about cold

3025
02:10:21,520 --> 02:10:24,400
Speaker 13: tub hot tub. When you were first in the league.

3026
02:10:24,440 --> 02:10:26,400
Speaker 13: Was there an older vet that you looked up to

3027
02:10:26,480 --> 02:10:29,720
Speaker 13: that kind of talked about this rehab process not rehabbing?

3028
02:10:29,920 --> 02:10:32,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, more so when I got I got drafted by

3029
02:10:32,400 --> 02:10:34,680
Speaker 12: Kansas City. So I follow Eric Berry around a lot,

3030
02:10:35,360 --> 02:10:37,240
Speaker 12: just watching him. How he you know, took care of

3031
02:10:37,320 --> 02:10:40,040
Speaker 12: himself a lot of epsom, salt baths, a lot of

3032
02:10:40,080 --> 02:10:42,240
Speaker 12: sauna and like you said, a lot of hot and cold,

3033
02:10:42,320 --> 02:10:45,680
Speaker 12: tough therapy. He was religious with that stuff because he

3034
02:10:45,800 --> 02:10:48,480
Speaker 12: you know, he played a physical game, so he had

3035
02:10:48,480 --> 02:10:49,800
Speaker 12: to take care of himself throughout the week.

3036
02:10:50,080 --> 02:10:50,400
Speaker 1: All right.

3037
02:10:50,440 --> 02:10:53,000
Speaker 3: So, Eric, at this point of the year, and maybe

3038
02:10:53,040 --> 02:10:55,640
Speaker 3: earlier in the year too, when you practice, is it

3039
02:10:55,720 --> 02:10:58,560
Speaker 3: more mental or physical right now? Because you want to

3040
02:10:58,760 --> 02:11:01,920
Speaker 3: maintain your body, maintain and your energy for game day.

3041
02:11:02,320 --> 02:11:04,240
Speaker 3: But you got to learn the schemes and whatever else

3042
02:11:04,320 --> 02:11:06,320
Speaker 3: you guys need to learn exits and those Wise, how

3043
02:11:06,320 --> 02:11:07,640
Speaker 3: does that go for your practice?

3044
02:11:08,080 --> 02:11:10,560
Speaker 12: It's more it's a little bit about honestly, I think

3045
02:11:11,040 --> 02:11:12,840
Speaker 12: in the beginning of the season, like you, like you said,

3046
02:11:12,840 --> 02:11:16,280
Speaker 12: you're preparing, getting the body ready, but as you begin

3047
02:11:16,400 --> 02:11:18,840
Speaker 12: to taper down, want to keep the mind as sharp

3048
02:11:18,840 --> 02:11:20,520
Speaker 12: as possible, but you want to keep the body as

3049
02:11:20,560 --> 02:11:21,560
Speaker 12: fresh as possible too.

3050
02:11:21,600 --> 02:11:23,440
Speaker 9: So it's a healthy balance.

3051
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:26,200
Speaker 13: When you talk to some of the younger guys, Obviously,

3052
02:11:26,320 --> 02:11:28,480
Speaker 13: the ebbs and flows of a season, ups and downs.

3053
02:11:28,480 --> 02:11:30,680
Speaker 13: I'm sure right now you know after the loss is

3054
02:11:30,720 --> 02:11:32,600
Speaker 13: feeling down, Like, what are some of the things that

3055
02:11:32,640 --> 02:11:34,880
Speaker 13: you're telling the younger guys to keep the spirits up

3056
02:11:34,960 --> 02:11:37,520
Speaker 13: and let them know the big picture, the ultimate goal

3057
02:11:37,560 --> 02:11:38,520
Speaker 13: is still in reach.

3058
02:11:38,800 --> 02:11:41,120
Speaker 12: You got to take a game by game still, like

3059
02:11:41,680 --> 02:11:44,360
Speaker 12: you know, at the top of our division and very

3060
02:11:44,440 --> 02:11:47,600
Speaker 12: much control our destiny. So continue to come out and

3061
02:11:47,640 --> 02:11:51,040
Speaker 12: put together consistent performances against our remaining schedule, and that's

3062
02:11:51,200 --> 02:11:52,200
Speaker 12: that's all you can really do.

3063
02:11:52,520 --> 02:11:55,480
Speaker 3: Is it a weird situation because we've only had this

3064
02:11:55,600 --> 02:11:58,960
Speaker 3: maybe once, maybe twice, really only once in the history

3065
02:11:59,000 --> 02:12:01,720
Speaker 3: of the franchise where you have this kind of cushion

3066
02:12:01,720 --> 02:12:02,960
Speaker 3: and you have a two game lead, but you don't

3067
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:05,520
Speaker 3: want to see that evaporate either, do you guys think

3068
02:12:05,560 --> 02:12:06,560
Speaker 3: about that kind of stuff.

3069
02:12:06,600 --> 02:12:08,640
Speaker 1: You know that you're in the lead, but you know

3070
02:12:08,680 --> 02:12:09,880
Speaker 1: the job's not done yet.

3071
02:12:10,480 --> 02:12:13,640
Speaker 12: I think just from what we've seen throughout throughout last week,

3072
02:12:14,240 --> 02:12:15,880
Speaker 12: you just got to come out and play every Sunday.

3073
02:12:16,760 --> 02:12:19,120
Speaker 12: It's you know, I think Kansas City what won by

3074
02:12:19,120 --> 02:12:22,600
Speaker 12: three points against the Panthers. So you know, you got

3075
02:12:22,640 --> 02:12:24,520
Speaker 12: to come out there and play your best ball every Sunday.

3076
02:12:24,600 --> 02:12:28,600
Speaker 12: And you never know however somebody's feeling that day, how

3077
02:12:28,600 --> 02:12:31,200
Speaker 12: they prepare it that week. It's the NFL, so you

3078
02:12:31,200 --> 02:12:32,040
Speaker 12: gotta come ready.

3079
02:12:32,240 --> 02:12:33,520
Speaker 5: You know, he's a good guy to ask.

3080
02:12:33,840 --> 02:12:36,879
Speaker 13: I'm going back a couple of weeks. But I've always

3081
02:12:36,960 --> 02:12:40,920
Speaker 13: thought that the fans buy into certain rivalries more so

3082
02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:44,080
Speaker 13: than the players. With you not being from Texas and

3083
02:12:44,120 --> 02:12:46,480
Speaker 13: I'm going back a couple of weeks for you. Was

3084
02:12:46,520 --> 02:12:49,800
Speaker 13: the Dallas Cowboy game just another game which is important?

3085
02:12:49,960 --> 02:12:52,160
Speaker 13: Or was there a little added umph to it?

3086
02:12:53,440 --> 02:12:55,840
Speaker 12: Like you said, I'm not from here, so I can

3087
02:12:55,880 --> 02:12:58,960
Speaker 12: only get the sentiment I get from other people who

3088
02:12:59,080 --> 02:13:02,000
Speaker 12: was born in Texas, you know. So I feel like

3089
02:13:02,360 --> 02:13:03,960
Speaker 12: even if it's a lot of people who live in

3090
02:13:04,000 --> 02:13:06,880
Speaker 12: Houston that might be Dallas fans, and then it might

3091
02:13:06,920 --> 02:13:09,360
Speaker 12: be a smaller percentage of people who live in Dallas

3092
02:13:09,400 --> 02:13:11,640
Speaker 12: who might be Houston fans. So I just tried to

3093
02:13:11,640 --> 02:13:13,720
Speaker 12: catch the vibe from them to see, you know, how

3094
02:13:13,760 --> 02:13:15,040
Speaker 12: things went okay?

3095
02:13:15,160 --> 02:13:17,800
Speaker 13: Okay, Because when I played in Philadelphia and I grew

3096
02:13:17,880 --> 02:13:21,120
Speaker 13: up in San Antonio, they hated Dallas. So you know,

3097
02:13:21,120 --> 02:13:23,480
Speaker 13: they're like, we don't care what happens, just beat the Cowboys.

3098
02:13:23,720 --> 02:13:25,200
Speaker 13: And part of me was like, I just want to

3099
02:13:25,240 --> 02:13:27,520
Speaker 13: win every game, like I don't care that much who

3100
02:13:27,560 --> 02:13:30,600
Speaker 13: were playing. So I just did you know you're from Wisconsin, right, Yeah,

3101
02:13:30,720 --> 02:13:33,000
Speaker 13: old guy from Wisconsin. You know, I just want to

3102
02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:34,560
Speaker 13: get your fill in the Cowboy week.

3103
02:13:35,320 --> 02:13:38,200
Speaker 3: So coach Ryans was in here yesterday Eric Eric Murray

3104
02:13:38,280 --> 02:13:40,560
Speaker 3: joining us, and he talked about the team meeting, and

3105
02:13:40,800 --> 02:13:42,560
Speaker 3: we talked about the twenty four hour rule, but he

3106
02:13:42,560 --> 02:13:44,560
Speaker 3: said this week, I might let it sit a little

3107
02:13:44,600 --> 02:13:47,120
Speaker 3: longer because that one really hurt. But you wanted to

3108
02:13:47,200 --> 02:13:49,000
Speaker 3: kind of motivate you at the same time, how do

3109
02:13:49,040 --> 02:13:50,360
Speaker 3: you see that and how is the team meeting?

3110
02:13:50,360 --> 02:13:51,680
Speaker 1: What can you tell the listeners about that?

3111
02:13:51,760 --> 02:13:55,720
Speaker 12: Anyway, Like you said, the sentiments was it was embarrassing

3112
02:13:55,760 --> 02:13:58,320
Speaker 12: loss for us. I think we all as an organization

3113
02:13:58,960 --> 02:14:00,880
Speaker 12: and as a whole, we have a high expectation of

3114
02:14:00,920 --> 02:14:04,520
Speaker 12: what we want to accomplish this year. So you just

3115
02:14:04,600 --> 02:14:07,160
Speaker 12: lay that out and be transparent about it, and you know,

3116
02:14:07,200 --> 02:14:09,080
Speaker 12: look yourself in the mirror and find ways to improve.

3117
02:14:09,200 --> 02:14:12,240
Speaker 13: So you know, I'm gonna question you on that because

3118
02:14:12,640 --> 02:14:14,440
Speaker 13: I'm of the belief it's tough to win in the

3119
02:14:14,560 --> 02:14:17,440
Speaker 13: NFL every week. So why did you use the word embarrassing?

3120
02:14:18,520 --> 02:14:18,680
Speaker 3: Uh?

3121
02:14:21,080 --> 02:14:23,560
Speaker 12: I use that word mainly because of I think the

3122
02:14:23,640 --> 02:14:27,560
Speaker 12: expectation we set for ourselves coming out in the season,

3123
02:14:28,520 --> 02:14:31,160
Speaker 12: with the acquisitions that we had over the summer and

3124
02:14:31,200 --> 02:14:34,720
Speaker 12: stuff like that. So we felt like our ceiling was

3125
02:14:34,800 --> 02:14:38,840
Speaker 12: up here, right. So I think as the season has

3126
02:14:38,880 --> 02:14:42,840
Speaker 12: progressed and some of the losses we took, I think

3127
02:14:42,840 --> 02:14:46,400
Speaker 12: our outlook looks a little different and it's just going forward.

3128
02:14:46,400 --> 02:14:48,160
Speaker 12: How do we continue to get better and grow?

3129
02:14:48,560 --> 02:14:50,600
Speaker 1: All right, good answer. I like that a lot.

3130
02:14:50,920 --> 02:14:54,160
Speaker 3: Playing Jacksonville on Sunday and these guys, you're in the

3131
02:14:54,200 --> 02:14:56,600
Speaker 3: division again. You haven't been on the road in the

3132
02:14:56,640 --> 02:14:59,120
Speaker 3: division since opening day, and I don't know if that's

3133
02:14:59,120 --> 02:15:01,320
Speaker 3: a big factor or not, but you're on natural grass

3134
02:15:01,360 --> 02:15:04,080
Speaker 3: in the division. They're coming off a buy and they're

3135
02:15:04,080 --> 02:15:06,040
Speaker 3: gonna be hungry even though they don't have a lot

3136
02:15:06,040 --> 02:15:08,440
Speaker 3: of victories. What do you see on Sunday? How do

3137
02:15:08,440 --> 02:15:09,280
Speaker 3: you see this matchup?

3138
02:15:09,560 --> 02:15:12,240
Speaker 12: Division games always tough, Like I said, it's any given Sunday,

3139
02:15:12,280 --> 02:15:15,440
Speaker 12: and you always got to prepare that week for that team.

3140
02:15:15,520 --> 02:15:19,120
Speaker 12: So Tennessee got us last week, were moving on the Jags,

3141
02:15:19,120 --> 02:15:20,680
Speaker 12: and you know we're going to do our best prepared

3142
02:15:20,680 --> 02:15:21,640
Speaker 12: this week and get the dub.

3143
02:15:22,040 --> 02:15:24,520
Speaker 13: Speaking of preparation, you're a pros pro. I can just

3144
02:15:24,560 --> 02:15:27,960
Speaker 13: tell obviously you don't last them along this long, last

3145
02:15:27,960 --> 02:15:30,280
Speaker 13: in the league this long without being pros pro. And

3146
02:15:30,320 --> 02:15:32,120
Speaker 13: the way you take care of your body. But as

3147
02:15:32,160 --> 02:15:35,160
Speaker 13: you prepare for this game, when you watch film at home,

3148
02:15:35,400 --> 02:15:38,120
Speaker 13: like what do you watch? You watch the receiver's movements,

3149
02:15:38,160 --> 02:15:40,360
Speaker 13: you watch your formations, Like what do you look at?

3150
02:15:41,160 --> 02:15:44,160
Speaker 12: Really, I try to go look at other teams that

3151
02:15:44,280 --> 02:15:48,480
Speaker 12: duplicate the same defense we have. So if they play

3152
02:15:48,520 --> 02:15:50,600
Speaker 12: the Colts or something like that, we might have the

3153
02:15:50,640 --> 02:15:53,560
Speaker 12: same front and then we might play the same coverages

3154
02:15:53,600 --> 02:15:55,560
Speaker 12: on the back end. So just look at how they

3155
02:15:55,640 --> 02:15:59,080
Speaker 12: attack those coverages and I guess what that coordinator likes

3156
02:15:59,120 --> 02:16:01,000
Speaker 12: to do against that certain tree of defense.

3157
02:16:01,240 --> 02:16:03,840
Speaker 13: So you look more big picture and not so much

3158
02:16:03,960 --> 02:16:05,880
Speaker 13: individual receiving running back.

3159
02:16:06,040 --> 02:16:07,320
Speaker 12: But I mean, at the end of the day, it's

3160
02:16:07,400 --> 02:16:10,160
Speaker 12: like a coordinator. He has tendencies and what he likes

3161
02:16:10,200 --> 02:16:11,520
Speaker 12: to do at the end of the day. So like

3162
02:16:11,800 --> 02:16:14,320
Speaker 12: the people out there, yes they matter, but he gonna

3163
02:16:14,320 --> 02:16:16,600
Speaker 12: call what he's gonna call in those crucial situations. So

3164
02:16:17,160 --> 02:16:19,400
Speaker 12: if you privy to those situations, I think you can,

3165
02:16:19,600 --> 02:16:21,000
Speaker 12: you know, make some hay on those plays.

3166
02:16:21,120 --> 02:16:22,680
Speaker 1: Eric Murray with us when you're on the road.

3167
02:16:22,680 --> 02:16:26,200
Speaker 3: For you guys on the defensive side, the crowd has

3168
02:16:26,280 --> 02:16:28,720
Speaker 3: to be quiet or should be quiet for their offense

3169
02:16:28,760 --> 02:16:31,480
Speaker 3: so they can communicate. Does that help you guys communicating?

3170
02:16:31,520 --> 02:16:33,200
Speaker 3: The way the crowd getting into a bit of a

3171
02:16:33,280 --> 02:16:34,560
Speaker 3: hush while their offense.

3172
02:16:34,360 --> 02:16:37,120
Speaker 12: Is opera definitely helps in communication. But I think you

3173
02:16:37,200 --> 02:16:39,879
Speaker 12: still need that energy to feed on defense, so you

3174
02:16:40,000 --> 02:16:42,080
Speaker 12: just have to bring it yourself. But communication will be

3175
02:16:42,080 --> 02:16:43,960
Speaker 12: at an all time high, and we make some plays, so

3176
02:16:44,000 --> 02:16:45,280
Speaker 12: we'll get the energy up there too.

3177
02:16:45,240 --> 02:16:47,400
Speaker 3: Because at home, you guys have signals and stuff like that,

3178
02:16:47,480 --> 02:16:49,840
Speaker 3: because it does get loud while you're trying to communicate,

3179
02:16:50,240 --> 02:16:50,680
Speaker 3: for sure.

3180
02:16:50,800 --> 02:16:53,240
Speaker 12: So we just you know, do the best you can

3181
02:16:53,360 --> 02:16:55,120
Speaker 12: and the crowd will help us out a little bit

3182
02:16:55,120 --> 02:16:55,640
Speaker 12: in that regard.

3183
02:16:55,760 --> 02:16:58,440
Speaker 3: They're starting safety Eric Murray as we continue some of

3184
02:16:58,520 --> 02:17:01,080
Speaker 3: the best stuff stuff from the week here on Texans

3185
02:17:01,080 --> 02:17:03,720
Speaker 3: All Access the Bonus Hour on Friday Night. Coming up,

3186
02:17:03,760 --> 02:17:07,680
Speaker 3: one more segment and concussions the Guardian caps What is

3187
02:17:07,680 --> 02:17:10,520
Speaker 3: that all about? Doctor Kenneth Padel. This is one of

3188
02:17:10,520 --> 02:17:13,640
Speaker 3: the leading concussion experts in the country. He weighs it

3189
02:17:13,680 --> 02:17:15,640
Speaker 3: on that and a few other things on the way

3190
02:17:15,640 --> 02:17:19,879
Speaker 3: out here on Texans All Access. Final segment of the

3191
02:17:19,879 --> 02:17:23,160
Speaker 3: week here on Texans Radio. And not to get overly

3192
02:17:23,200 --> 02:17:26,240
Speaker 3: medical here, but concussions obviously a huge part of this game,

3193
02:17:26,280 --> 02:17:30,359
Speaker 3: and you've noticed the guardian caps. Guys wearing them during practice,

3194
02:17:30,720 --> 02:17:33,720
Speaker 3: training camp. Impossible not to notice, and also impossible not

3195
02:17:33,800 --> 02:17:36,720
Speaker 3: to notice guys wearing them during games. You'll see a

3196
02:17:36,800 --> 02:17:39,400
Speaker 3: helmet covered up. It looks like it's a little bit bigger,

3197
02:17:39,440 --> 02:17:43,039
Speaker 3: it looks kind of strange ish, But those guardian caps

3198
02:17:43,040 --> 02:17:47,199
Speaker 3: are really helping these guys in concussion prevention and coming back,

3199
02:17:47,280 --> 02:17:50,000
Speaker 3: making sure that when they do get back, they're safe.

3200
02:17:50,320 --> 02:17:52,960
Speaker 3: Let's get some great information here from one of the

3201
02:17:53,000 --> 02:17:56,039
Speaker 3: best experts in the country on the subject, from the

3202
02:17:56,080 --> 02:18:00,280
Speaker 3: Houston Methodist Concussion Center. It's doctor Kenneth Padel, and I

3203
02:18:00,280 --> 02:18:02,400
Speaker 3: asked them about guardian caps.

3204
02:18:02,720 --> 02:18:06,160
Speaker 14: The guardian cap actually goes back to about twenty ten

3205
02:18:06,280 --> 02:18:10,240
Speaker 14: when it was first introduced, wasn't used a lot. There

3206
02:18:10,280 --> 02:18:14,480
Speaker 14: were some issues about whether it would avoid warranties on helmets,

3207
02:18:14,520 --> 02:18:17,640
Speaker 14: but that turns out not to be the case, and

3208
02:18:17,800 --> 02:18:20,080
Speaker 14: it started to pick up a little steam, and in

3209
02:18:20,200 --> 02:18:27,080
Speaker 14: twenty twenty two, the NFL decided to test it in preseason.

3210
02:18:27,520 --> 02:18:31,280
Speaker 14: And the reason they did that, excuse me, preseason is

3211
02:18:31,320 --> 02:18:35,879
Speaker 14: the highest rate of concussions in the NFL. Obviously, you're

3212
02:18:35,920 --> 02:18:39,160
Speaker 14: carrying seventy men for teams, so you have more players,

3213
02:18:39,200 --> 02:18:42,320
Speaker 14: and that's part of it. But they decided to try

3214
02:18:42,360 --> 02:18:46,080
Speaker 14: it in preseason, and over the two years that they've

3215
02:18:46,120 --> 02:18:50,879
Speaker 14: had it in preseason, their data that they report is

3216
02:18:50,920 --> 02:18:55,279
Speaker 14: a fifty percent reduction in the number of concussions in preseason.

3217
02:18:56,000 --> 02:18:59,760
Speaker 14: Now that data is still private, it hasn't been vetted

3218
02:19:00,280 --> 02:19:03,760
Speaker 14: in the public yet, but assuming that's accurate data, that's

3219
02:19:03,800 --> 02:19:09,160
Speaker 14: a remarkable reduction. So earlier this year, in April twenty

3220
02:19:09,200 --> 02:19:12,920
Speaker 14: twenty four, the NFL made the decision that any player

3221
02:19:13,120 --> 02:19:19,000
Speaker 14: can wear the Guardian cap during the regular season. It's voluntary,

3222
02:19:19,040 --> 02:19:21,280
Speaker 14: so nobody's forced to do it. That's going to take

3223
02:19:21,320 --> 02:19:24,880
Speaker 14: a little time for that to take hold. Any type

3224
02:19:24,920 --> 02:19:28,720
Speaker 14: of new technology rule always takes a little time to

3225
02:19:28,800 --> 02:19:33,400
Speaker 14: gain popularity. Now, the science behind the Guardian cap is

3226
02:19:33,440 --> 02:19:37,240
Speaker 14: to reduce the amount of energy or force that's going

3227
02:19:37,280 --> 02:19:42,160
Speaker 14: through a helmet into the player's head and therefore reduced concussions.

3228
02:19:42,400 --> 02:19:44,640
Speaker 14: If you've ever seen the guardian caps, a bunch of

3229
02:19:44,640 --> 02:19:50,000
Speaker 14: little foam padding squares that are around the helmet and

3230
02:19:50,920 --> 02:19:55,879
Speaker 14: by design, it supposedly absorbs that force and therefore less

3231
02:19:55,959 --> 02:20:00,480
Speaker 14: goes into the player unless concussions. However, the actual is

3232
02:20:00,560 --> 02:20:03,640
Speaker 14: that's not how they actually work. They work because they're

3233
02:20:03,760 --> 02:20:08,280
Speaker 14: slippery and they move around the helmet and that deflects

3234
02:20:08,360 --> 02:20:12,440
Speaker 14: the direction of the energy away from the helmet. In

3235
02:20:12,600 --> 02:20:17,200
Speaker 14: laboratory testing both by the NFL and the NFL's Players

3236
02:20:17,280 --> 02:20:21,720
Speaker 14: Association as hired engineers in Virginia, Tech, which is completely

3237
02:20:21,760 --> 02:20:26,959
Speaker 14: independent from the NFL or any manufacturer, chows a significant

3238
02:20:27,040 --> 02:20:32,720
Speaker 14: reduction in the force the energy that happens when they collide.

3239
02:20:32,840 --> 02:20:36,640
Speaker 14: It's additive, meaning that if one player wears it, there's

3240
02:20:36,800 --> 02:20:40,840
Speaker 14: anywhere from about an eight to fifteen percent reduction in energy.

3241
02:20:41,200 --> 02:20:45,200
Speaker 14: If both players wear it, it's about fifteen to maybe

3242
02:20:45,480 --> 02:20:50,000
Speaker 14: twenty five thirty percent. So that's a lot of reduction

3243
02:20:50,160 --> 02:20:54,640
Speaker 14: and energy and technically should reduce the number of concussions.

3244
02:20:55,040 --> 02:20:57,520
Speaker 3: Great information, doctor, We look forward to catching up soon

3245
02:20:57,560 --> 02:20:59,600
Speaker 3: on more information on concussions.

3246
02:21:00,000 --> 02:21:02,080
Speaker 14: All right, Mark, you're welcome, Thanks a lot for having me.

3247
