1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, Welcome to the Tmico Ryan Show. And it's

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: a great one tonight with the Texans riding a wave

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: with four consecutive wins seven of their last nine, and

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: four weeks ago, we came into the studio not knowing

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: what was going to happen.

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: They were three and five. CJ.

7
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: Stroud was injured. You had tough games coming up. What

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: was going to happen? You were digging yourself out from

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: owen three and constantly unable to really get on a

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: roll within a game of five hundred a couple of times,

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: unable to get there two games below five hundred four

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: weeks ago today.

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: But what happened?

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: Four straight wins that come from behind her against the Jaguars,

15
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: the late win against the Tennessee Titans, the dismantling of

16
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in a close game

17
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: of course, and then going to Indianapolis and defeating the

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: Colts twenty to sixteen. Man, what a great win. That

19
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: was four straight in Indy, which is incredible. And Demiko Ryans,

20
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: after going zho to one to start out his career

21
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: against the Colts, has won the last four. So that's

22
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: impressive stuff. When you consider the history of this franchise

23
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: against the Horseshoe, an amazing win and a tall order

24
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: on Sunday night facing the Kansas City Chiefs and the

25
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: Big One, and we put it that way because you

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: are in contention for the playoffs. They're one of those

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: teams that wants to be in contention to They are

28
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: six and six, so you go in actually with a

29
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: better record heading into the matchup. And in the AFC South,

30
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: you're a game out of first, but two teams are

31
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: tied for that top spot eight and four with the

32
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: Colts and Jags playing this weekend, and that's one of

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: the things we're going to talk to Demiko Ryan's about.

34
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: So let's get right to it. Our conversation with the

35
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: head coach. We're presented by Amagy Bank, the official business

36
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: bank of the Houston Texans.

37
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: Coach.

38
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: Great to see it, congratulations on the victory, Thank you,

39
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: Great to see you guys.

40
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: All right here we are.

41
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: It's Chiefs week, Big One, and we'll talk about that,

42
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: but let's talk about the Colts game first, going up

43
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: to Indianapolis, and you got to complish what you needed to.

44
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: You got the victory and made the big plays at

45
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: the moment of truth.

46
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 4: Now, that was the key to the game.

47
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 5: I thought we did a great job on third down,

48
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 5: the critical down third down offense and defense. We made

49
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 5: plays we needed to make and defensively get into two

50
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 5: big fourth down stops. Those were the plays of the game.

51
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 5: Right they're in position to score, there they go for it.

52
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 5: We stopped them in their own territory. That was huge

53
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 5: plays in the game. And just how we also how

54
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 5: he finished the game offensively, being able to run the

55
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 5: clock out. Just thought, overall, we did what we needed

56
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 5: to do. I thought CJ's first game back, he stepped in,

57
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 5: did some really you know, good things with the football,

58
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 5: finding a lot of different receivers. He did a really

59
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 5: nice job of managing the game. Like I said yesterday,

60
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 5: I some throws he probably won't back, and that's also

61
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 5: the russ from being out for three weeks.

62
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 4: That happens.

63
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 5: But I felt like he also grew in a sense.

64
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 5: So he had some as I call him sack saber plays,

65
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 5: or the defender is on him and he just dirt

66
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 5: at the ball like he's he's growing, he's making good decisions,

67
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 5: and he's continuing to progress and get better. So I'm

68
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 5: excited for where he started and now looking forward to

69
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 5: his next week to see how how much of a

70
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 5: stuff he contained.

71
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 6: Could you talk about CJ from the physical aspect and

72
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 6: the rust, how much from the mental aspect is the

73
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 6: rust having to shake off as well? Because one thing

74
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 6: you said your press conference stood out to me, and

75
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 6: you said that you spied their blitzes, so change protections

76
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 6: to get those stopped, and they stop blitzing because you

77
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 6: were starting to pick them up. How much of the

78
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 6: rush shaking off part is the mental part of Okay,

79
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 6: I got to go back to reading defenses on the

80
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 6: regular with them about to come sack me.

81
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 3: How much of the is the mental part for CJ

82
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: getting over that?

83
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, the mental part is, Hugh. I also think our

84
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 5: coaches did a really great job Kaylee and his staff.

85
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 5: They did a great job of working on those things

86
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 5: in practice and our walkthroughs when we're slowing it down

87
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 5: and we're truly just teaching, like in our meeting, is

88
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 5: how we go through the protection meetings, and I think

89
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 5: we just we handled it really well this week and

90
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 5: the guys were locked in, they were attentive, and the

91
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 5: same things that we talked about in the meetings, they

92
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 5: came up on the field and it's like it's that

93
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 5: final exam, like you have to pass it, you gotta

94
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 5: be on it. And they did a great job of communicating.

95
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 5: O line did a great job in our backs did

96
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 5: a great job picking up the blitzzers as well.

97
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: Ye, speaking of the backs, coach the running game, it's

98
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: not like a high volume yard per carry average, but

99
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: you're stuck with it.

100
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: You ran for over one hundred yards. You did what

101
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: needed to be done.

102
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny.

103
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 5: You know some of those runs where they got guys

104
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 5: running through, like they got linebackers running through, you got

105
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 5: possible TFLs.

106
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 4: It's easy to say, oh, we.

107
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 5: Got to scrap the run right and start just throwing

108
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 5: it more. But I like how Kayley continued to stay

109
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 5: with the run. We changed up some of the runs

110
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 5: we had some schematically, like we started to go outside

111
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 5: zone a little bit more, started to go more toss plays,

112
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 5: trying to get on the perimeter. So even though it

113
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 5: doesn't look great on some a couple plays like, you

114
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 5: still have to stay with it and keep the variety

115
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 5: there to keep the defense on the heels.

116
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 4: And that's what we did.

117
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 5: And we were able to turn out some really good

118
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 5: yard it's by getting the ball on a perimeter a

119
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 5: little bit more what he did a great job on

120
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 5: a perimeter run of cutting back, so we got Nico

121
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 5: a run for a first touchdown, first wrestling touchdown. So

122
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 5: it was just really cool things of how we mix

123
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 5: it up in the run game, getting chubbed in a

124
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 5: wildcat formation allow him to run. So I just like

125
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 5: the variety of things that we're doing.

126
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: Coach.

127
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 6: I know if we were to sit here and say, hey,

128
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 6: what do you like about your team, and you'd say toughness, physicality, resilient,

129
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 6: those are all traits. I think you'd want to see

130
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 6: your team, and you have seen your team. Yesterday might

131
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 6: have been the best case of resilience. When they came

132
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 6: down and score a touchdown, Boom, turned right back around

133
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 6: and went score a touchdown. Then they tied it at

134
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 6: thirteen after the interference and then Warren's touchdown. Boom, you

135
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 6: go right back down and score again offensively to bounce back,

136
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 6: and then the defense after they'd scored, okay, we're gonna stop.

137
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 3: Him twice holding to the field going the last two drives.

138
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 6: Resilience seemed to be kind of the key offensively, all Right,

139
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 6: you're gonna score, we're gonna answer, and we're gonna show

140
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 6: our resilience to go back and take the lead from you.

141
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 5: And it was cool to see. It was cool to

142
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 5: just fill it two from our sideline. It was everybody

143
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 5: was just even Q. You felt the confidence amongst our sideline,

144
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 5: like the offense did.

145
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: They moved the ball really really well.

146
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 7: Fair.

147
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 5: They had a lot of chunk plays. Defense was getting

148
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 5: off on third down making some stops. We were attacking

149
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 5: the football. Jalen had a couple passes he was so

150
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 5: you felt like, Okay, we're kind of in control here

151
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 5: of the game. And you know, when you feel that way,

152
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 5: it's like, Okay, no matter what happens, I feel like

153
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 5: we made plays before.

154
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 4: We'll go do it again.

155
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: What about your new reserve quarterback Cade Stover? Very interesting stuff.

156
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 2: It worked.

157
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: I know it didn't work at the end on the

158
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: third and fourth down, but on the third it looked

159
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: to us like you had it but whatever. But it

160
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: was creative, it was different and it was effective.

161
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

162
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 5: That goes to also just coaching. You try to switch

163
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 5: things up. Things haven't worked that we tried before. So

164
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 5: you gotta not keep doing the same things, right, And

165
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 5: so that was a play that.

166
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 4: We wanted to do.

167
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 5: Kid had done it before, he was on the center before,

168
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 5: so try to throw that in and it worked.

169
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 4: It was effective for us. I'm with you. I think

170
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 4: we got the we got the first down on third

171
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 4: and that's I was like, no, do that again. If

172
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 4: that that wasn't the yard, Like, let's try that again.

173
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 5: So I really liked just changing it up, giving given

174
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 5: the defense something else to, you know, try to defend

175
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 5: that they haven't seen from us.

176
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 6: We're you a little worried that they tried it beforehand

177
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 6: and they watched it because.

178
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 4: No, I said, we're gonna do it better. Don't worry

179
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 4: no words word.

180
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: Because you've always I've always wondered this.

181
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 6: And as a defensive coach, team wins the coin toss

182
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 6: and they say we want the ball, I would think

183
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 6: for your guys yesterday when they said that, I would

184
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 6: imagine it's like, whoa, they want the ball.

185
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 3: Against us to start the game.

186
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 6: What's the feeling like for you and the defensive staff

187
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 6: and the defensive players like, oh, is it oh they

188
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 6: want to test us?

189
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 3: Or is it just okay? We got to go play ball,

190
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: or mix a.

191
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 5: Bot for us, Let's go play ball. It's something that

192
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 5: Shane has actually done a lot, you know, throughout the season,

193
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 5: where he's taking the ball, and it's kind of it's

194
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 5: been their game plan of how they've gotten the lead

195
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 5: on a lot of teams. They take the ball early

196
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 5: and they try to get up a school early. They

197
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 5: try to have you playing from behind, so that that's

198
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 5: been as strategy as work form before. But our defense

199
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 5: did a really nice job of shutting that down very quickly.

200
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: I know you like seeing great defense, but also great

201
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: defense is thirteen play drives. Fourteen play drives to keep

202
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: the other team's offense off the field, and even if

203
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: you don't get a touchdown, you held the ball for

204
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: a long time and you've done it numerous times this year.

205
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: You're a very high time of possession team in this league,

206
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: top three or something like that.

207
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 2: So what about that part of things?

208
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 5: Coach, that part, you know, it's or we control the game,

209
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 5: and we control it just not by being in a rush,

210
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 5: as I tell our guys, I want to methodically just

211
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 5: drive down the field, take our time, methodically drive down

212
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 5: the field, just get positive plays. Whatever that looks like

213
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 5: we don't have to always go for the chunk play,

214
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 5: explosive play, just throwing it up a fifty to fifty ball. No,

215
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 5: let's let's methodically get guys open. Let's make great decisions

216
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 5: with the football. Let's mix in our run, our play

217
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 5: action pass, and let's just drive down and once we

218
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 5: get across man field, now we're in striking.

219
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 4: This is now let's go score.

220
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 5: I feel like we can also finish some of these

221
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 5: drives better by finishing in the end zone, doing a

222
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 5: great job of driving, controlling the game. But now it's

223
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 5: even better when you can control the game and finish

224
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 5: the drive with seven points.

225
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: We talked all last week.

226
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 6: We knew what job number one was for the defense,

227
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 6: that was stopping twenty eight. When you look back at

228
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 6: the film, coach A, how well do you think you

229
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 6: did in that regard and be holding him to feels

230
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 6: pretty good.

231
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 3: What was the key in doing that?

232
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: The key to stop in the row it was tackling.

233
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 5: I thought everybody tackled really well, even on the Probably

234
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 5: my favorite player of the game is the fourth down

235
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 5: one that they fumbled the snap on the tight end sneak.

236
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 4: They fumbled the snap and.

237
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 5: Just watch how all of our guys just finished and

238
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 5: tackled like that's what the defense looks like, right, And

239
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 5: that's Jonathan Taylor Again. I would say he's one of

240
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 5: the better best backs in our league because he's just

241
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 5: so elusive. He starts the ball frost side and he

242
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 5: can cut back in any gap. So you have to

243
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 5: remain patient, remained disciplined, and I thought our guys did

244
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 5: that for the most part. A couple of runs got

245
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 5: out on us when we weren't disciplined in our gaps,

246
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 5: but when we were where we were supposed to be

247
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 5: and we tackled, well, there's nowhere for them to run

248
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 5: the ball.

249
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: What about second and two when you come up with

250
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: a big TfL with Mario and Will and now it's

251
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: third and seven and they don't get it.

252
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's where we wanted to be. You wanted

253
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 5: to create some negative plays on the early downs, get

254
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 5: them in third and seventh plus that's where they They

255
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 5: didn't live much where they've been successful as an offense.

256
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 5: They lived in third and two to five a lot.

257
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 5: And when you had third and two to five, you

258
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 5: have everything at your disposed. You can run the ball,

259
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 5: you can do, play action, you have everything. So for

260
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 5: us getting them in third and seventh plus making him

261
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 5: have to drop back, we felt like that would be

262
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 5: our advantage in this game. And you know, our defense

263
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 5: did a really nice job with third down.

264
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: And you only ended up with one sack. Yeah, now

265
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 3: that's kind of have Noma.

266
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 6: We've talked about this for a long time, coach that

267
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 6: you know sometimes the defensive story isn't told through sacks

268
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 6: when guys are dropping back.

269
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 3: How did you.

270
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 6: Feel like the pass rush was effective with Daniel knowing

271
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 6: that he was a little banged up, watching Warums, didn't

272
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 6: look like he's moving around all that well. Was that

273
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 6: something that you guys, I don't want to say, pray

274
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 6: to palm. Was that something that you guys took into

275
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 6: account as you were rushing him that it wasn't going

276
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 6: to quite be like Josh Allen the week before, that

277
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 6: you could do some different things against him because he

278
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 6: maybe wasn't moving as well as he had before season.

279
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, knowing he wasn't moving as well, so we probably

280
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 5: fired a few more pressures than we would normally run,

281
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 5: and so we didn't get the sacks per se. But

282
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 5: I felt like we got the pressure on to make

283
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 5: him speed up his throats, and that's what we wanted

284
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 5: him to do, speed up the throws.

285
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 4: It worked for us.

286
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 5: Our guys were in position, they were making plays on

287
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 5: the ball, tackling when we needed to tackle. But and

288
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 5: I feel like, also it's just when we had some

289
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 5: one on one opportunities on the early downs in the

290
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 5: play action passing game, like we got to be able

291
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 5: to win those one on ones a little bit better.

292
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,239
Speaker 5: So it's still there's some improvements to be made.

293
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 4: On our d line.

294
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 5: When we have the one on one rushes, there are

295
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 5: some opportunities where I felt like we could have closed

296
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 5: it out a little bit better.

297
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: Coach, in your press conference, you talked about your central

298
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: message this week and maybe a lot of weeks, which is, yeah,

299
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 1: you're happy you won, but you feel like there's more

300
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: meat on the bone and you can play better than you.

301
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 4: Have no doubt about it.

302
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 7: Man.

303
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 5: You always want to get to win first, and that's

304
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 5: the first thing. So we got the win, great, and

305
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 5: now is to come back. And as we really dissecting

306
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 5: the tape and looking at it, it's like, man, we

307
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 5: can be so much better, Like, how do we give

308
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 5: this play up when we work this play, or how

309
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 5: can we have this penalty where we're not. It's like

310
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 5: so many little things I know we can improve upon

311
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 5: as a team, which we as a coach is that

312
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 5: we're just talking is low hanging fruit. It's small things

313
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 5: that we can just nip in the bud that I

314
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 5: know we have a really great team and they're still

315
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 5: even better out there for us. We just got to

316
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 5: make sure we're locked in every single time we line up.

317
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 5: Make sure we're locked in, make sure we're doing all

318
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 5: of those little things, because that's what's gonna happen the

319
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 5: bigger these games get down the stretch, It's is gonna

320
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 5: come down to the fine details.

321
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: As a coach, you're the teacher. So the students, if

322
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: you will, are doing better than they did earlier. This season,

323
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: we see a trend getting better.

324
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 5: Grades are getting better. It's im grading, it's getting better.

325
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 5: We're doing a great job. So we gotta gotta keep

326
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 5: going up. And that's one thing you want to see

327
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 5: in a season.

328
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 4: Right you.

329
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 5: It's not about how you start, but it's about who

330
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 5: are you becoming as a team, how you grow, and

331
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 5: how you getting better. And I really love the growth

332
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 5: of our team O line and settling in doing some

333
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 5: really good things. I mean CJ the quarterback, Davis played well.

334
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 5: CJ's playing playing goods first game back. So our receivers,

335
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 5: they're playing different guys making huts, making plays.

336
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 4: Higgins niak.

337
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 5: It's like a lot of different guys making plays. And

338
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 5: I see the growth of our team. I see where

339
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 5: we are and now here down. The stress is just

340
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 5: about remaining locked in, just one at a time, controlling

341
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 5: what we control one at a time, finishing with the win,

342
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 5: whatever it takes, however it looks, it doesn't matter. Just

343
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 5: finish with the win.

344
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 6: Could you know I'm contractually obligated to ask you about tackling,

345
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 6: but we already got into it a little bit about

346
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 6: this one.

347
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna ask my question looking forward.

348
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 6: Because the guy WePlay Sunday night we all know very well,

349
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 6: and one of the things that he does best is

350
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 6: exploit bad tackling. And that's Patrick Mahomes. When he gets

351
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 6: out of the pocket, whether it's escaping a tackle to

352
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 6: make a throw, escaping your tackle to scramble for twenty

353
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 6: how important does the tackling become? Just I know the

354
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 6: running backs are good, But just on him in general,

355
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 6: how big is the tackling got to be and how

356
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 6: good is the tackling have to be to slow him

357
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 6: down for making those type plays.

358
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, the main thing with the tackling with him is

359
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 5: you never never assume right, Never assume that you know

360
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 5: he's throwing the ball, never assume that he's like, just

361
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 5: go finish. You're a play like if he's scrambling out

362
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 5: of the pocket, and make sure you just have body

363
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 5: on body, making sure you're clean with him going out

364
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 5: to play, always understanding he can throw the ball at

365
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 5: any given time. He's not really looking to scramble and

366
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 5: run the ball like he is looking to throw the ball.

367
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 5: His eyes are always downfield, so secondary has to be

368
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 5: aware of that, making sure you're sticky on your covers

369
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 5: and the guys who are rushing, you know, kind of

370
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 5: similar to the Josh Allen piece. He's a bigger player,

371
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 5: strong guy. Just have to make sure you finish.

372
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: Coach, I know that you played them twice late last

373
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: year December and January. It's cold. It's gonna be cold

374
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: this weekend. It was cold last year. You're used to it.

375
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: Going up to Arrowhead Stadium in a good way. How

376
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: does that help you knowing the environment, knowing what you're

377
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: gonna be dealing with on Sunday night.

378
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm excited for it because, like you said, Mark,

379
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 5: like we're used to you know what it is. You

380
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 5: know the environment. We've been there before. We were just

381
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 5: there last year two games. It shouldn't be new to anyone.

382
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 5: Like what the how that environment is gonna be. And

383
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 5: if we can just focus on playing better football in

384
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 5: Kansas City and finishing like that last game we had,

385
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 5: we just we're close. The closest is gonna map. Those

386
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 5: games are always gonna be close. Kansas City really great

387
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 5: football team. They've won a ton of Super Bowls here

388
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 5: over the past few years. Like it's gonna be about

389
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 5: playing four quarters of football, discipline, fundamental focus, and finishing

390
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 5: the right way.

391
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

392
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 6: These guys, I mean, they've got so many different guys

393
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 6: we could ask you about. But I want to ask

394
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 6: you about a group that I think everybody's talked about

395
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 6: for a long time, and it feels like this group

396
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 6: is kind of settling in Coach and you mentioned them

397
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 6: a little bit. I want to talk about the offensive

398
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 6: line and what that group coming together and playing together

399
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 6: and what you're seeing with them having some continuity kind

400
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 6: of game after game being that same five.

401
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 5: And what you see is you can see, you know,

402
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 5: just better communication up front, whether it's handling a game,

403
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 5: whether it's Tightest and Tay on the left side, like

404
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 5: if you sense an alignment, Tightest can communicate with Tay

405
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 5: and on Hey, expect that this te game is coming

406
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 5: and we can pick it up the right way. Whether

407
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 5: it's on the right side.

408
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 4: You know, you have.

409
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 5: Trent and Ed they're working double teams just being on it,

410
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 5: or Jake and Ed in the middle working doubles. It's

411
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 5: just when you work with a guy consistently, you would

412
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 5: expect that, hey, I.

413
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 4: Know how we're playing.

414
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 5: We have that kind of you know, unsaid communication or

415
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 5: it's non verbal. We can just say, I know how

416
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 5: we're fitting this, I know where we're going to And

417
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 5: the more and more we can do that, the better

418
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 5: we can be. And again, offensive line wise, I think

419
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 5: and we've done some good things the past two weeks,

420
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 5: but again there are still some better things we can

421
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 5: do when it comes to getting up to the second

422
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 5: level on the linebackers.

423
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: Coach every few weeks, you know, I like to ask

424
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: you how you handle practice, because here we are in

425
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: December now and five weeks to go in the regular season,

426
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: So how do you handle practice the physicality of such

427
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: being later in the year now, Yeah.

428
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 5: The physicality it tones down right now at this point

429
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 5: of the season. I got they know how to tackle,

430
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 5: they should, they should, they better know how to tackle now,

431
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 5: but don't really want that physical grind on their bodies.

432
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 5: The seasons are long, as we know it, so as

433
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 5: we get later in the season, how handle practice is

434
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 5: just more mentally focused on understanding what are you facing

435
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 5: like trying to get those plays. Not so much of

436
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 5: the physicality of putting on the past block and tackling,

437
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 5: but it's just understanding mentally where you need to be

438
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 5: and get in as many reps as possible.

439
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 6: Okay, I remember hearing Peyton Manning have done this many

440
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 6: many years ago. He anticipated rain, he would go out

441
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 6: and he dunk the balls in water and then you

442
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 6: throw water log passes throughout just to get used to it.

443
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 3: What can you do for cold, especially.

444
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 6: In the environment we live in, Coach, is there anything

445
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 6: to mimic the cold?

446
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 3: Can you put the put the balls in the freezer?

447
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 6: And that's what CJ and the receivers, you know, practice,

448
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 6: But what what.

449
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 3: Can you do?

450
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 6: Is there anything that you can do to be prepared

451
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 6: for a decently cold night?

452
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 5: Hey, if anybody has any tips, let me know. Well

453
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 5: for me, I'm intalis. Hey, you got a man up

454
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 5: three hours, let's go to work. No matter what the

455
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 5: conditions are, you man up. Especially with the cold weather. Hey,

456
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 5: put on something warm, not too warm, put on enough

457
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 5: where you're not worried about it. And my mindset is

458
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 5: always man you go in the game. It's like you

459
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 5: got to psych yourself out mentally. Also, it's like I'm

460
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 5: not worried about the weather, Like, put that behind. You's

461
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 5: gonna be cold, get over it.

462
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 4: Now, what are you going to do? It's cold for

463
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 4: them as well?

464
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: Coach, we know you like to make these videos every

465
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: week and sometimes you tell us what you put in

466
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: these videos the players because you like to teach with video, right,

467
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: it helps people's attention spans and whatever gets the message across.

468
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: But from the game against the Colts, I think the

469
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: Ingram block. Okay, there are certain moments here. We talked

470
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: about the TfL on second down and two what other

471
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: things stood out to you is moments from that game

472
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: where you might say, hey, Tim, show this man that is.

473
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: Does anybody else help you with that? Like coaches have

474
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: suggestions and things like that.

475
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 5: When I go up, the coaches will have some suggestions

476
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 5: of plays that they have, and I already have my

477
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 5: list of plays that I want to show, and then

478
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 5: they kind of pare it down with all the coordinators

479
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 5: will give me clips. But it's a I think a

480
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 5: mere speed showing up his first like his first rep,

481
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 5: you know, as a textans showing up, splitting the splitting

482
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 5: the double team on the pun and going down and

483
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 5: making a play. I thought that was that was a

484
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 5: huge play show of course is I mean hughes block

485
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 5: he knocks the goal off his feet, definitely showing that one.

486
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 5: Uh some of the CJ the keeper roll into our right,

487
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 5: rollatory sideline and the throw to cast over. Yeah, great

488
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 5: catch right there. So it's a it's a lot of

489
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 5: good There's a lot of nice plays in there, a

490
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 5: lot of physical plays as well. Kamari always showing up.

491
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 5: I got the heat he fired and blitzed on one

492
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 5: play and hit hit Daniel Jones and see their sideline

493
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 5: They're looking like, oh what happened with the corner blitz. Like,

494
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 5: so it's some really good things that happened all across

495
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 5: and there's always some fine details that you can see

496
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 5: also with you know how guys are celebrating people on

497
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 5: the sideline. May see Johnny over here celebrating.

498
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 4: The team meeting as well.

499
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I got, I got. Can I make it?

500
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 3: Can I make one suggestion?

501
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 4: Bring it on?

502
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 3: There was a there was a new linebacker that played

503
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 3: the other day.

504
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 6: I had not seen him play a linebacker throughout this year,

505
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 6: Number fifty one, new linebacker.

506
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, from the middle.

507
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: Can we put that one on there as well?

508
00:21:59,640 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 7: Yeah?

509
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 3: And that that was impressive.

510
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 6: That kind of worried me in a sense, coach, because

511
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 6: I saw the guys go in and you were getting

512
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 6: to a point and this is you talked about it

513
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 6: in your press conference about you bring nine defensive linemen

514
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 6: in the game. And the whole point is like, and I,

515
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 6: if I remember correctly, the drive after we scored the touchdown, Dylan, Derek, Tommy,

516
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,239
Speaker 6: and I can't remember who else was in there, but

517
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 6: it was not it was not Sheldon and Daniil And

518
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 6: will you mix those guys so much so when you

519
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 6: run those guys out there. I see who's going out there, like, Okay,

520
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 6: well I look and Will's not outside.

521
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 3: I'm like, where the hell's Will?

522
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 6: I just watched him go in like he goes, and

523
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, he just ran right through the

524
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 6: center to force a throwaway on Daniel Jones.

525
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: Can we put that one in there too.

526
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 5: That one that may be the first.

527
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: Coach I'm gonna put you on the spot here because

528
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: this weekend there's a game between the Jaguars and the Colts.

529
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: Oh boy, so you've played both teams recently, and I'm

530
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: not asking you to predict the result, but talk about

531
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: the matchup a little bit because that's an interesting one.

532
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is an interesting matchup.

533
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 5: I think Jacksonville defensively, they're playing really well. Defensively, they

534
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 5: found a way to score some points offense. I think

535
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 5: it'll be I think it's gonna be a tough battle,

536
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 5: depending on if the Colts can get the what they

537
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 5: do at the corner situations. I know, losing Sauce, what's

538
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 5: a huge one for the Colts, just schematically with how

539
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 5: they wanted to play defense.

540
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 4: Now they had to go to more zone covers.

541
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 5: So I think it's gonna be a tie with if

542
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 5: they can rattle Trevor with some of the pressures that

543
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 5: they have. I think that'll be the key for the Colts,

544
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 5: you know, to get to win. For the Jags, the

545
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 5: key to get to win for those guys, man's gonna be,

546
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 5: you know, can they expose and can they get Brian Thomas?

547
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 5: Can they get those guys open in his own coverages?

548
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 3: Okay, let me ask you easier one.

549
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 6: There's another game going on this weekend that involves the

550
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 6: Crimson Tide and the Bulldogs in Atlanta for the SEC Championship.

551
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 6: This one, I think you probably got rooting interesting, made

552
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 6: light just a little bit.

553
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 5: Just a little bit, got him one time this year.

554
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 5: You gotta go do it hard, hard to beat him twice,

555
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 5: but go get it done time.

556
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: There's your head coach, Tamiko Ryans. Plenty more with him

557
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: coming up, including the postgame locker room speech and Demiko

558
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: and Johnny have a private conversation. Well it's not that private,

559
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: because you're gonna hear it. It's public and it's coming

560
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: up at the end of the program. Also, we'll hear

561
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 1: from Jalen Petrie, who got back in action yesterday, he

562
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: caught up with the postgame show guys Sean Pendergast and

563
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: Clint Sterner. It's all happening here on Texans Radio. Right

564
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: back into the fray here on the Tamiko Ryan Show

565
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: following the Texans win over the Colts and in advance

566
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs game on Sunday night. Gotta get them.

567
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: They're six and six, they're desperate. More on that later.

568
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: Let's go to the locker room. After the game, head

569
00:24:49,840 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: coach Tamiko Ryans addressed the team.

570
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: And end of today.

571
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 4: Man, we talked about I'm in here taking what we want.

572
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 8: Everybody. It took everybody to you here, coaches, players, every

573
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 8: man in here stood up, made a play. We need

574
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 8: to make a play. It took every second on the

575
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 8: court to finish this thing. But that's what it's about.

576
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 8: Coming in winning the Divisital games is a tough opponent,

577
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 8: and we got to see these guys again. Great job

578
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 8: right there getting the first one. Now on to the

579
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 8: next one. Let's keep it going, everybody. Great job, complimentre

580
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 8: football all the way around. A lot of great things

581
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 8: you guys did. Most important thing what we come here

582
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 8: for is the dope.

583
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 4: What up Texas.

584
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: We'll go back into the locker room before the show's over.

585
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: John Harris is gonna catch up with the head coach

586
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: and also Sheldon Rankins in a celebratory locker room.

587
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 2: You gotta hear this.

588
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: Not a long conversation, but a real good one with

589
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: the guy who had the only sack of the game

590
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 1: for the Texans yesterday on Daniel Jones, Let's get some

591
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: thoughts from former Jamaica Ryan's teammate and the Kalou part

592
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: of our Texans preseason TV broadcast crew Texans legend, and

593
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: he liked what he saw yesterday.

594
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 9: You know, it's great task CJ. Stroud Back and the

595
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 9: offenses kind of continuing to pick up the pace. But

596
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 9: this defense has proven to be a historically great defense,

597
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 9: especially when you're compared it to other Texans teams. And

598
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 9: it's the little things. I mean, I know John and Mark,

599
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 9: I know you sa all this, but I know John

600
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 9: could appreciate this. That pick on Rankings sack, so oh yeah,

601
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 9: the d line stunt where Autrey is supposed to pick

602
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 9: the center and he just blasted the center. The pocket

603
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 9: collapsed and Rankings gets the sack. But it was such

604
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 9: a team sack because of the way the front four rushed.

605
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 9: I mean, this defense is a real deal. And shout

606
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 9: out to a ziz A Shire because he's still making

607
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 9: plays where you're like, oh, he probably shouldn't have done that,

608
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 9: But what he's telling you is, Hey, I don't care

609
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 9: about what people think about me. I don't care about

610
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 9: the past penalties. I'm still going to play my brand

611
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 9: of football. And it just resonates throughout that entire defense.

612
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 6: Andy, the defense yesterday, if I'd have told you that

613
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 6: they were only gonna have one sack going in, especially

614
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 6: against the guy that's got a fibula, as Shane Steiken

615
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 6: called it, would you have been worried and.

616
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 3: Give answer that?

617
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 6: But also, how did you feel like they got enough

618
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 6: pressure on Jones even though they only got the one sack.

619
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 9: No, I definitely would have been worried because I was

620
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 9: watching the game here in Waco, so of course I

621
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 9: was listening to y'all call the game, and John, you

622
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 9: did an awesome job pregame talking about Daniel Jones. He

623
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 9: still doesn't look one hundred percent. He still has a

624
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 9: little bit of limb. So when I heard you say

625
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 9: that before the game, I was just smiling like, oh,

626
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 9: we're gonna have another eight sack games. So if you

627
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 9: would have known me then with everything that you said

628
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 9: pregame that they were still only gonna have one sack,

629
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 9: I would have been concerned. But then the way it

630
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 9: played out and the fact that they focused on Taylor

631
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 9: and they were able to look like Mark said, slow

632
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 9: him down, You don't completely stop the guy like that.

633
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 9: He still had over eighty yards. You know, he still

634
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 9: had what considered to be a good day. But when

635
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 9: you when you factor in everything and all the big plays,

636
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 9: they may win and counted. I would have been okay

637
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 9: with it. But yes, going into that game knowing that

638
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 9: Daniel Jones wasn't healthy, I would expected more than one

639
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 9: sack and.

640
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: D thoughts on CJ's return has to pick twenty two

641
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: of thirty five. He throws for two seventy six in

642
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: the game and make some big throws along the way.

643
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 9: You know what I like about it, Mark, He's knocking

644
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 9: the rust off, and I still expect him to have

645
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 9: better games. I still expect him to play even better,

646
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 9: play even more lights out, and they still won the

647
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 9: game with him playing. It wasn't pedestrian by any means

648
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 9: it was a good game. Like you said, one interception

649
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 9: but no touchdowns. He was sacked a couple of times.

650
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 9: I can still see him elevating his game and for

651
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 9: him to be kind of getting back into the groove

652
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 9: of things and still be able to put up those

653
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 9: type of numbers. He understood who his number one target is.

654
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 9: You know, Nico Collins every week is really solidifying himself

655
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 9: as one of the top wide receivers in the entire

656
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 9: NFL and not just the AFC. I'm actually excited about

657
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 9: it because I'm expecting CJ. Stroud to play even better

658
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 9: when they take on Kansas City, And with the way

659
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 9: the schedule is going, with what this team's trying to accomplish,

660
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 9: he's going to have to continue to get better. I

661
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 9: actually would have been a little more. I would have

662
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 9: been more worthy if he had one of those four

663
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 9: hundred yard games, four touchdowns, no interceptions, where you're thinking, ooh,

664
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 9: is that what it's going to take to win? But

665
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 9: I felt like he had a game that he could

666
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 9: approve upon and they're still winning.

667
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: And dy, what about this team winning four in a

668
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: row right now? What do you think the vibe is

669
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: like inside and the belief that they have that they

670
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: can do some really big things down the stretch and beyond.

671
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: Now that they're really they're establishing an identity on offense

672
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: with this ground game. It's not always as productive as

673
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,239
Speaker 1: they want it to be, but they stick with it.

674
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: They got CJ back, obviously the defense number one in

675
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: the league.

676
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts.

677
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 9: Here's what's crazy. I think as far as the belief

678
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 9: and the confidence, they probably felt this way when they

679
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 9: were zero and three, you know, and now is coming

680
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 9: to fruition because a guy like Demiko, he's a little

681
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 9: bit prophetic. He's gonna tell these guys, hey, one game

682
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 9: at a time, we can still dig ourselves out of

683
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 9: this hole. And when you look at what this team

684
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 9: has been able to accomplish, I don't think that they're surprised.

685
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 9: So Mark, they're probably not thinking to themselves four games

686
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 9: in a row, four games in a row, it's just

687
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 9: one game at a time. It sounds cliche, you're hearing

688
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 9: on every level of football, but you just get the

689
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 9: sense with the Miko, the type of player, the type

690
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 9: of coach he is now that he's preaching it and

691
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 9: they're really believing in it, right now they're only focused

692
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 9: is Kansas City Chiefs, and it's the fans on the

693
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 9: outside looking in that could appreciate this role. I would

694
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 9: not be surprised if they have another three game you

695
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 9: know that, if they win another three games in a row,

696
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 9: because you're just looking at it one game at a time,

697
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 9: and when you look at the schedule, there isn't a

698
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 9: team on the schedule remaining on the schedule where you

699
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 9: just say to yourself, there's no way they can win

700
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 9: this game.

701
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 6: And Dy, it's the Chiefs this week Sunday night. Everybody's

702
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 6: going to be watching. And it's that guy quarterback. That's

703
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 6: probably the guy I look at every time I see

704
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 6: I feel like and it isn't so much because it's

705
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 6: the seventy yard throw, it's you know, it's the five

706
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 6: yard scramble or whatever. It's the plays he makes with

707
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 6: defensive lineman hanging all over him, Like last year, he's

708
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 6: got Mario Edwards at his ankles falling down and he

709
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 6: hits Kelsey for a touchdown. How maddening is it for

710
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 6: the defensive lineman to face a guy like Mahomes and

711
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 6: knowing that that's the way he plays, and that's what

712
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 6: he produces. How much of a different tack as a

713
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 6: defensive lineman do you have to take. You can't hit

714
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 6: him up high, you can't hit him low, but you

715
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 6: got to make sure that you do hit him and

716
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 6: bring him to the ground. How tough is this for

717
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 6: defensive lineman to go against the guy like him?

718
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 9: Very very tough because he's so slippery and he's just

719
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 9: a playmaker. You know, he's one of those guys. In

720
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 9: my opinion, I don't know what his stats look like

721
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 9: this season. He's still the best quarterback in the game,

722
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 9: and you get up for a quarterback like Mahomes. But

723
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 9: here's the thing, John, With the way that the Texans

724
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 9: played and performed against Josh Allen, I think you just

725
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 9: go out there and treat him like any other quarterback.

726
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 9: You don't start to get in your head, Oh if

727
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 9: I'm too aggressive and I'm not aiming at the upfield shoulder,

728
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 9: then I might miss a sack. The way they performed

729
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 9: against Josh Allen, I think they take that same mentality

730
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 9: against Mahomes and say, you know what, We're just gonna

731
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 9: hit him. We're gonna hit him hard. You know, we're

732
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 9: gonna tackle him in a way where we're not holding

733
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 9: on for dear life, We're gonna hit him and knock

734
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 9: him down so he doesn't have a chance to make

735
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 9: that extra play. But I just feel like you can't.

736
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 9: You have to almost disrespect him and the thought of

737
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 9: him when you go into the game.

738
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: Anddy, what about the rotation with the defensive lineman. I'm

739
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 1: looking at the snap count right here, Danil Will and

740
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,719
Speaker 1: Sheldon Rankins played sixty three percent of the snaps on

741
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: defense and Tommy fifty four, Barnett forty percent. So it's

742
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: a healthy rotation. It's not exactly fifty to fifty with

743
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: some of these guys. But I saw some instances where

744
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: daneil Will and Rankins all came back into the game

745
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: at the same time. Maybe obvious pass rush situations, but

746
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the way they rotate things with the

747
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: front four.

748
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 9: I was pleasantly surprised at that, and I actually noticed it, Mark,

749
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 9: I noticed it because every time I'm looking and i'm

750
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 9: watching the game, I'm looking at the trenches, and more

751
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 9: times than I expected, I didn't see Daniel Hunter, Will

752
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 9: Anderson in the game. Yeah, and to the point where

753
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 9: you're saying, as great as those guys play Demiko and co.

754
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 9: They truly trust the entire defensive line and that's something

755
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 9: that we've seen since preseason. You know, we talked about

756
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 9: the entire defensive line unit, not just the two superstars,

757
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 9: and how great they were and how they play together.

758
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 9: So when you look at that rotation, especially this late

759
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 9: in the season, it's gonna bode well for late in

760
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 9: the season and dare I say the playoffs, because you're

761
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 9: not gonna feel fresh, but you're gonna be that You're

762
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 9: gonna be more fresh than you would be if a

763
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 9: guy like Danil Hunter, Will Anderson or playing eighty five

764
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 9: ninety percent of the snaps every single week. So and

765
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 9: keep in mind they're still making plays. The pocket is

766
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 9: still collapsed, and they're still tackled for losses. He still

767
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,959
Speaker 9: killed the same energy and that's only going to help

768
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 9: you later in the season as you make that playoff push.

769
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: There's end Kalu coming up, John Harrison, Demiico Ryans in

770
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: their postgame conversation, plus Jalen Petrie on the post game show.

771
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 1: You got to hear it all here on the Demitico

772
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: Ryans program. It's Texans Radio Packed. Final segment here on

773
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: the Demitico Ryans Show, and let's get right to it.

774
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Petrie came back from the protocol and played well

775
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: against the Colts in the victory, and he showed up

776
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: as a guest on Texans post game with Sean Pendergast

777
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: and Clint Sterner.

778
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: Here's how the conversation went.

779
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 10: A lot of chatter out there about the thing to

780
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 10: do in this game was too did Jonathan Taylor kind

781
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 10: of the head of the snake for this team?

782
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 3: Jalen?

783
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 10: And if you shut down Jonathan Taylor, you can shut

784
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 10: down the Indianapolis Colts.

785
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 3: What did you think?

786
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 10: How did you feel about the way you guys played?

787
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 10: Did you know as far as the game plan was

788
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 10: going in, how well did you guys execute what the

789
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 10: coaches were looking for you to do.

790
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 7: I think it was pretty solid.

791
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 11: But sorry for the backgrounds, okay, but I thought it's

792
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 11: pretty solid.

793
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 7: You know, it was a couple of a couple of those.

794
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 11: Plays where he got out, but there's definitely some things

795
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 11: we need to clean up and get better for the

796
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 11: next time.

797
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 4: We play them.

798
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 11: But I think overall it was definitely good enough to

799
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 11: obviously get to win, but we're definitely gonna clean up

800
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 11: some things for sure.

801
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 12: What Demiko talks a lot about y'all's ability as a

802
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 12: unit to to to lock in and obviously y'all are

803
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 12: leading that in that area, but it's it's on a

804
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 12: monster stage at the end of them near every single game.

805
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 12: Can you can you take us through the mindset of

806
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 12: of you and the defense and in those moments when

807
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 12: you know it's it's third and long, fourth and long,

808
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 12: that drive is for all the marbles.

809
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think the biggest thing that comes to my

810
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 11: mom when you say that is accountability. Like everybody on

811
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 11: a defense is accountable for their job.

812
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 7: And then you got eleven guys doing that.

813
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 3: You know, it's very hard to be beat.

814
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 7: So that's the biggest thing.

815
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 11: We all take our job very seriously and and all

816
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 11: eleven is trying to make the play. So you know

817
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 11: when whenever the opportunity to against yourself, you know we're

818
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 11: going to take advantage. But yeah, we look forward to

819
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 11: those moments as a defense.

820
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 12: Hey, what do you guys, what do you guys attribute?

821
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 12: I mean, you've been playing this game long enough. I

822
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 12: played for a long time. I'm aware of it. I mean,

823
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 12: what you guys have in that locker room is extremely rare.

824
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 12: And when I say that, on the defensive side of

825
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 12: the football, it seems like every guy we talk to,

826
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 12: whether it's Demiko Ryans or or or or one of

827
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 12: one of the other defensive players, one of your teammates

828
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 12: on this show, it seems like the accountability and doing

829
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 12: your job and all that which is typically coach speaking

830
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 12: a lot of organizations. Man, is the cloth that each

831
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 12: one of you guys are cut from. Like, how rare

832
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 12: is that? In your experience? How rare is it? And

833
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 12: how do y'all get everybody to buy in and believe

834
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 12: into that? Really from the from the heart, not just

835
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 12: talk to talk.

836
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 11: I think it's it's just really important to all of

837
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 11: us because we see what happens when we all do it.

838
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 11: You know, it's kind of like the standard here, so

839
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 11: everybody does it from left to right, top to bottom,

840
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 11: whatever you want to say, like, and it's very contagious.

841
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 11: So I think that's a huge reason why we're successful

842
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 11: and why we're never satisfied, and we're trying to continue

843
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 11: to get better and find new ways to you know,

844
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 11: hold defenses to nothing like that's the ultimate goal, like

845
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 11: to win games. You know, our offense is obviously, you know,

846
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 11: great and can do a lot put a lot of

847
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 11: points on the board. But you know, as a defense,

848
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 11: your job every week should be to hold them to

849
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 11: a shutout, you know, and if it's not that, then

850
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 11: then what are we doing? And I think everybody feels

851
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 11: that way and it does nothing but help.

852
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 10: Did you know that's the first time that the Colts

853
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 10: have scored less than twenty points all year at least JP.

854
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 7: No, I didn't know that.

855
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I.

856
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 7: Didn't know that. But it was a pretty solid game

857
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 7: for us, and we're thankful that we got to win.

858
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good.

859
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 10: Yea, I was gonna say, it's not a shutout, but

860
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 10: you did better than anybody else has playing that team

861
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 10: this year, so you can feel good about that. Hey,

862
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 10: before we get you out of here, saw that you

863
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 10: were wearing the Guardian cap. Obviously we know you were

864
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 10: in concussion protocol the last few weeks. Was that a temporary.

865
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 3: Precautionary thing that you're doing or are you thinking of

866
00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 3: going with that moving forward.

867
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 7: I'm probably gonna go with that moving forward.

868
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 11: You know, after speaking with Sony professionals and some family members,

869
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 11: we thought that that was the best option for now.

870
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 11: But yeah, just really thankful to just get back out

871
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 11: there with my team and get to win.

872
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 12: One really cool play there were several, but one really

873
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 12: cool play that was fun to watch was was watching

874
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 12: Will Anderson lineup at middle linebacker depth and literally just

875
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 12: just put the center on skates and and sit him

876
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 12: in Daniel Jones's lap. What what tell us about that

877
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 12: play from your perspective? I know you guys had worked

878
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 12: on it and tell us a little bit about it.

879
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, it was it was drawn up that way and

880
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 11: when you know, you put the ball, the ball in

881
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 11: Will hands, he gonna do what he do.

882
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 7: You know, he walked the center back and it made

883
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 7: it very easy for the DBS to.

884
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 11: You know, handle our assignment because the ball was out

885
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 11: pretty quick. So yeah, our coach did a good job

886
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 11: of drawing that up and Will did a good job

887
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 11: of executing.

888
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 10: It'll be a fun one to watch on film. Watch

889
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 10: it this week. I'll tell you that it looked great

890
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 10: on TV. I'll tell you that.

891
00:38:59,320 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

892
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 10: Al Jalen Petrie, Texan safety, broke up a couple passes today,

893
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 10: had a few tackles, was around the ball quite a bit,

894
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 10: as he always is. It was great to have number

895
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 10: five back out there. Hey, Jayalen, we appreciate you making

896
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 10: a couple of minutes for us here on Texans post game. Man,

897
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 10: go celebrate the win and we'll see you back in Houston.

898
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,239

Speaker 1: and Clint Sturner. Now victorious Texans locker room. This is

901
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: short but sweet. Loved the music in the background. Good

902
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: stuff from Sheldon Rankins, who had the one sack in

903
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: the game.

904
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 2: Johnny Harris visited with him.

905
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 3: Sheldon went over the colts man, it's big.

906
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 6: We've gone it before, but this one was big. Number

907
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 6: one offense in the league and you guys sell him

908
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 6: the sixteen.

909
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 3: How'd you get done? Yeah?

910
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 13: Man, it's a collaborative effort. Eleven guys on the same

911
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 13: page all game. No, we knew they will make some plays.

912
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 13: Talented offense, talented players, they've showed it all year long.

913
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 4: But we know what. We held it together for four.

914
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 13: Quarters, played consistent, disciplined football. We feel like when we

915
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 13: do that, nobody can beat us.

916
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 3: What does it say about this team? Sheldon?

917
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 6: You guys are sitting on You walked in that lock

918
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 6: through Master Jacksonville and that loss to now be seventy five,

919
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 6: tevery one, seventy last nine or whatever it is.

920
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 3: What do you think it says about this TV?

921
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,720
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think it just shows man, the perseverance from within.

922
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 13: I think you know, outside the building, you know, it

923
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 13: felt like the world was on fire.

924
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 3: You know, everybody counted us out.

925
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,959
Speaker 13: Everybody's like, oh, you know, we can just go ahead

926
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 13: and look elsewhere. They won't do nothing. Great defense, but whatever,

927
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 13: we just put our head down to work. We understood

928
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 13: the formulo. We understood that. Man, once we get it clicking, nobody.

929
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 4: Can beat it. So now we just stayed the course.

930
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 13: A great leader at the top with the Miko and

931
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 13: his messages always resonate down down the line. And when

932
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 13: you continue to follow his lead, and you look where

933
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 13: we are now.

934
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 3: Take me through that fourth to nine year right when

935
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 3: Joe tried to challenge Sting and that ball hits the drownd.

936
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 3: You're getting the ball back. What are you guys speaking

937
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 3: at that moment?

938
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 13: Yeah, at that point, man, we were looking at it

939
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 13: like man, we held up our end. You know, as

940
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 13: a defense man you relish those moments to be out

941
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 13: there to close out the game and give the ball

942
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 13: back to the offense to run run the clock out.

943
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 13: And that's what we did. You know, obviously, you know,

944
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 13: trying a guy like Sting, you know, in any part

945
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 13: of the game, you know, in the smartest thing. But

946
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 13: you know Sting showing up the way he does h

947
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 13: in that situation, in that moment, that's why he is

948
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 13: who he is.

949
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 3: Sheldon, was a hell of a win.

950
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 4: You had a help of perfomance, my man.

951
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your time. Man, I appreciate you.

952
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: Sheldon Rankins in the victorious Texans locker room with John Harris. Okay,

953
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: Johnny caught up with head coach Tamiko Ryans afterwards as well.

954
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: And I always love this conversation, especially after a victory.

955
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 3: I gotta think that this one ended about the way

956
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 3: you wanted.

957
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 6: Your defense gets a fourth down stop and your offense

958
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 6: and runs the clock out.

959
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 3: I guess it's about the way you want to end

960
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 3: the game, right.

961
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 5: I'll take it out every every happens, man, but you

962
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 5: get me. How we did that, how we finished the game.

963
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 5: It was very impressive, right for our defense to go

964
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 5: out for down territory there for them to finish.

965
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 4: Nobody blink. They knew they would make a play man.

966
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 5: Guys, that was an outstanding drive by men and then

967
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 5: for our offense to go out and it took literally

968
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 5: every second that we needed to finish it with the

969
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 5: old lion Woody CJ, with the communication, all the guys

970
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 5: did a great job of handling right those four minute

971
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 5: situations that we have to close out.

972
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 4: Exceptional job.

973
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 3: I want to ask you about a couple of players.

974
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start with CJ.

975
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 6: His return and what you thought about how he performed

976
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 6: today against that coach defensive Yeah.

977
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 4: CJ played winning football.

978
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 5: He made a lot of good throws for us, made

979
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 5: a lot of good decisions some things, of course, always

980
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 5: you want to clean up and never it's never perfect,

981
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 5: but that's okay. You just keep battling. Like I really

982
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 5: loved the drive after the interception. How he can bounce back,

983
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 5: go down, take our team down to drive, like remaining

984
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 5: confident no matter what the situation is, no matter how

985
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 5: bad it may look, just because you gave the ball away, man,

986
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 5: you bounce back and you keep making plays, you keep punting.

987
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 4: So I love the way. He just battled throughout this

988
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 4: game and the guy that.

989
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 3: Should have gotten a game in and punch out, but

990
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 3: it didn't get caught that way. With Jalen Petrie, you

991
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 3: talked about having Jalen.

992
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 4: Back man fired up to have it back.

993
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 5: You just see the impact fact that he has on

994
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 5: the game with whatever it is, a passing game, he

995
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 5: gets the ball out, running game, he's tackling like he's

996
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 5: just an exceptional football player that has to be accounted for.

997
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 5: He can we can do a lot of different things

998
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 5: with him, moving him around a lot of different spots

999
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 5: because he's a smart player, physical, tough, and he plays

1000
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 5: with the unmatched intensity.

1001
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 6: Y'all rush him by about twenty yards. Your third down

1002
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 6: percentage was better. You had thirty five minutes seemingly of

1003
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 6: time of possession. Everything that you and I and Mark

1004
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 6: talk about how he coaches show that you want to

1005
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 6: be able to do it, seemed like you were able

1006
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 6: to do that today.

1007
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 3: What was kind of the biggest key to.

1008
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 6: Just establishing we're here and this is how we're gonna

1009
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 6: win this football game.

1010
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, we have a formula that I think where everybody's

1011
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 5: picking up on how we win games. Offense being able

1012
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 5: to sustain drives, go on the long drives there to

1013
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 5: open the game, and also you know, to start to

1014
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 5: have finished with field goals there.

1015
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 4: That's all right, we want to get.

1016
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 5: Seven, but the finish with points on a long drive,

1017
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 5: and then our defense goes out three and out getting it,

1018
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 5: stops taking the football, not getting the couple, but taking

1019
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 5: the football, being around it, getting a huge fourth fourth

1020
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 5: down stops, two fourth down stops that completely turned the

1021
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 5: game around. For so, I mean, we have a formula.

1022
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 5: We just keep sticking to what we're doing, find a

1023
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 5: way to win games. Doesn't matter how it looks. It's

1024
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 5: all about how we finished. And we've been finishing in

1025
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 5: a very nice fashion in the past couple of weeks.

1026
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1027
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 6: Absolutely, I mean it's so nerve racking, but you know,

1028
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 6: getting the wins, no doubt.

1029
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 4: Don't tell me about it.

1030
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's one of you up here. This one's big obviously,

1031
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 6: now you've won seven or nine. I asked Sheldon this

1032
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 6: question when it was zero to three and we weren't

1033
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 6: Jacksonville and you and I are talking. We're like, we

1034
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 6: can turn this around, but it's a long way to

1035
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 6: turning it around.

1036
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 3: And now we've got it turned around. I know it's

1037
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 3: not where you all we ultimately wanted to go, but

1038
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 3: it's at least the cargo ship is going in the

1039
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 3: right direction.

1040
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 4: No, yeah, we're we're headed in the right direction.

1041
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 5: You can easily get down about things and how the

1042
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 5: season starts, but we understand, like to make your run,

1043
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 5: do what you need to do, Like it's all about

1044
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 5: how you.

1045
00:44:58,280 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 4: Finish the season.

1046
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 5: A lot of people st aren't great, but they don't

1047
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 5: finish great. Like we're in a spot where it doesn't

1048
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 5: matter how we started. Even the games that we dropped,

1049
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 5: we knew, but we needed to clean up to finish

1050
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 5: those games.

1051
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 4: And now we've corrected that.

1052
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 5: We're doing those things the things necessary to put us

1053
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 5: in position to win games, and we're finishing the proper way.

1054
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 5: So we just keep going how we're going, keep finishing

1055
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 5: how we're finishing. I mean, sky's the limit for this team.

1056
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 3: Coach, congratulations, he can we win?

1057
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: Thanks Johnny Harris with head coach Tamigo Ryans right after

1058
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: the game, and I'm hoping for a similar vibe after

1059
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: Sunday's game, in which the Texans will take out the

1060
