Speaker 5: This is awesome, and.

31
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 4: And Mark, I gotta apologize for being unprofessional yesterday, but

32
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 4: I was.

33
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 5: A little excited.

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 4: I was clapping, I was screaming. I was everything that

35
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: I probably shouldn't do. But hell, we haven't been in

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 4: this spot in a minute, so I let it rip yesterday.

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: You know I love you. Let's let it rip, get

38
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: the emotions fly.

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: So along that along those lines, Dre, I was talking

40
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: about this earlier. Three of us are having this conversation

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: on the bus and I look at both y'all andes say, hey, where.

42
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: Does that one rank?

43
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: And you immediately said, oh, it's top three and I

44
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: was kind of thinking very similar and Mark's like no.

45
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: No, no, like no you can. I was killing you.

46
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: Gotta wait, you gotta we gotta wait. And then I realized, Okay,

47
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: both of us. You grew up in Dickinson. Mark got

48
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: to Houston as fast as you could, but you grew

49
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: up in Dickinson.

50
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: I grew up Richmond Rosenberg.

51
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: It felt like that hit a little bit harder for

52
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: that reason, Like that was the Oilers that we beat,

53
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: that team that left us, et cetera. Is that kind

54
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: of where the emotion came from from all this yesterday?

55
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 5: I think so, Johnny.

56
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 4: When you look at it, it was one thing to

57
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 4: wear the uniforms. It's it's another and a totally different

58
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 4: deal when you turn the entire stadium into the astrodome

59
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 4: without a roof h And that's what basically it was.

60
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 5: I mean it was. It was one of those deals where.

61
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 4: You get to the stadium and I couldn't believe my eyes.

62
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: It was like, this is unbelievable. The uniforms look nice,

63
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 4: but then the whole stadium looked that way, and I

64
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,119
Speaker 4: was like, Okay, this is rubbing your face in. It's

65
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 4: just a little too much. And yesterday I think kind

66
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 4: of missed the mark a little bit.

67
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 5: But I know she wanted to return the colors, the name,

68
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 5: all of.

69
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 4: It to Houston, and egos just kind of got in

70
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 4: the way of that happening.

71
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: Well, you know the fact that you just pointed it

72
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 3: out that way, that you tried to turn the stadium

73
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: into the Astrodome without the roof, and then I think

74
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: about you dre playing so many big games in your

75
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: career in that building.

76
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and wearing.

77
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: You know, Case talked about it after the game. Wearing

78
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: Houston on the uniform means a lot to him because

79
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: he's done it for so long in college.

80
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 5: And it's crazy.

81
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 4: The Astrodome when we played there, you know, on Sundays,

82
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 4: it was the House of Pain and then on Saturdays.

83
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 5: We had a home game there. We called it the Warehouse.

84
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 5: It was awesome. So the walk in and see and

85
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 5: then it was.

86
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: Still oiler stuff in there obviously, Yeah, when we would

87
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: go in and play, so you know, you want to

88
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 4: grow up, you want to play in the dome. All

89
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 4: that stuff was kind of mixed in there. But to

90
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 4: see that yesterday, I was like, well, boy, we missed

91
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 4: the mark on this one.

92
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, well got the win.

93
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: And it's funny because I don't know if it affects

94
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: the players too much. Obviously it affected Case and maybe

95
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: a few other guys, and we'd have to ask everybody individually.

96
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: I know the coach was affected by it when we

97
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 3: broke the news to him on Monday last week that

98
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 3: the Texans would be playing a team that's wearing oiler uniforms.

99
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 3: That but Johnny, but you just said the fans are affected. Okay,

100
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: what this means to the Houston fans to see the

101
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 3: Texans beat a team wearing those uniforms, that's incredibly powerful.

102
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, it ranks very high. And then the context

103
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: of the season, Trey, what about that part of it?

104
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: You have so many guys banged up, You have Case

105
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: Keenan playing quarterback, You have Singletary running for over one hundred,

106
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 3: you have a semi historic sack performance.

107
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: By the squad.

108
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: You have all of that going, and you hold Derrick

109
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: Henry to less than nothing, less than nothing.

110
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: Twenty touches ten yards, never been done in NFL history,

111
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: Dre twenty touches pray ten yards.

112
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 5: I tell you what. The defense played out of its mind.

113
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 4: But I'll go back to one thing that Mark started

114
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 4: with I think yesterday, well yesterday did was if there

115
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: were Oiler fans still in the city of Houston, it

116
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 4: forced you to.

117
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 5: Make a choice if you were Oiler Texan.

118
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 4: That it forced it because of the uniform, brought it

119
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 4: all back and all of a sudden.

120
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 5: I can guarantee those fans.

121
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 4: That were split are now true Texan fans that.

122
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 5: Are that are all the way on board after yesterday.

123
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 4: But in terms of the game in itself, I thought,

124
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 4: the defense, and we're gonna, you know, annoint praise on

125
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 4: anybody in this it's the defense. They deserve about seventy

126
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 4: five percent of the praise that were given out because

127
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 4: of the way they played seven sacks. When Robert gave

128
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 4: me that stat yesterday after the game and we're going

129
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 4: through postgame stuff, I had no idea they had gotten

130
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 4: to Will Levis seven times. Then you throw in a

131
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: turnover the Steven Nelson interception and they turned them over

132
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 4: so and then countless amounts of times where they had

133
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 4: to have big stops, they were able to step up

134
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 4: and do it motor at the just the right time

135
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 4: and sticking with it slowik sticking.

136
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 5: With the run later in the game, they had.

137
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 4: Worn Tennessee's front seven down and they were a motor.

138
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 5: All of a sudden, he got.

139
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 4: Himself going, busting up big runs in overtime.

140
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 5: It was just a total team effort.

141
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 4: You look at what was out, what was missing from

142
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 4: this team. There's no way I thought they could go

143
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 4: into Tennessee and actually pull out a win. I thought

144
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 4: they could keep it close, but I didn't know that

145
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 4: they could actually go in there and squeak out a win. That,

146
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 4: my friends, that's coaching, that's belief in the game plan.

147
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 4: That's what a good coach will do for a football team.

148
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 4: We got to witness that yesterday. A lot of guys

149
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 4: come in here, and we've had guys like Billo.

150
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 5: I'll call his name, Bill O'Brien. He was the benefactor

151
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 5: of a good team that.

152
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 4: Was already running from Gary and took it and elevated

153
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 4: it or restarted it, so to speak. But this was

154
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 4: a and nobody's ever said it. This is pretty much

155
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 4: a total rebuild that Demico Ryans took over.

156
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 5: And look look what he's doing in his first year.

157
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been incredible to watch. We kind of danced

158
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: around a little bit dre you know, talking about all

159
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: the different things. How about the fact that Case Keenum

160
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: hasn't lost a start in ten years for the Texans.

161
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: That's kind of nice. Along those lines, Dre Case Keen,

162
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: we the three of us talked about this kind of

163
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: heading into the game knowing the case is going to start.

164
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: I'm sure all three of us kind of had similar thoughts,

165
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: but individually we probably thought of like, okay, all right,

166
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: well we'll see kind of how this goes. What were

167
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: your thoughts about a case starting and then same question

168
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: aske Tomko talks about case starting and then be the

169
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: results of what we got yesterday from him.

170
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: I just thought he played play the game that they

171
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 4: needed him to play, you know, don't try to do

172
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 4: too much. Everybody kind of pointed all the interception, well

173
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 4: you go back and I guarantee in that film room

174
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 4: Darry's getting it this morning. Because the zone coverage, you

175
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 4: sit down and zone you don't move until somebody engages you.

176
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 4: And he had a spot where Case thought, okay, I'm

177
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 4: gonna check it down and right as he's throwing the ball,

178
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 4: he moves and the defender's probably about four or five

179
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 4: yards behind him, and he goes right into his chest

180
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 4: and now it's a foot race. But that's not on Case.

181
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 4: Is the point I'm trying to make there. I thought

182
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 4: he played a solid game. I thought he gave him

183
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 4: exactly what the team needed. He is the guy that

184
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 4: knows this offense in and out. He prides himself on that.

185
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 4: I think that's how Case makes teams year.

186
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 5: In and year out.

187
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 4: He just knows how to teach himself the system where

188
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 4: he can now help a guy like CJ. Stroud and

189
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 4: the coaches see that. They knew that he gave them

190
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 4: the best chance to win and stay on this playoff run,

191
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 4: so to speak, and he delivered all right.

192
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: So after that game, I felt like I needed a cigarette, man,

193
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: I mean that was incredible. And now a day later,

194
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: I'm thinking of the coaches and players now Dre where

195
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: I feel like you need to buy after a game

196
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: like that, but you don't get one. You get Cleveland

197
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: on Christmas Eve and here we are back home. Huge game.

198
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: I mean it's even bigger this week. Everything gets bigger

199
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: this time of year, holding it all together, and we

200
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 3: don't know what the lineup is going to look like.

201
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: Is CJ back or is he not? Does Nico come back.

202
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: We all watched him down on the field work out

203
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: before the game. Looked like he was pretty close. I'm

204
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 3: pretty optimistic, but who knows your thoughts on preparing this

205
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: week and psychologically moving past an emotional high that they

206
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: had against Tennessee as they prepare for the Browns.

207
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 4: Well, you don't want to move past it too much.

208
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 4: You want to store some of it up because it

209
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 4: gives you confidence that you can any any situation you can.

210
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 5: Come out of. The NFL is about survival of the fittest.

211
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 4: You know, who's left standing at the end of the season,

212
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 4: who's the healthiest and can play because the talent level

213
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 4: is so close, So the more fitted, the fittest.

214
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 5: Team UH usually gets through.

215
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 4: That's you know, guys that buy into taking care of

216
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 4: their bodies all of it, not the ones that go

217
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 4: out and celebrate wins because Uh, eventually that kind of

218
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 4: stuff catches up to you over over the course of

219
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 4: the season. So the Texans are doing it the right way.

220
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna get some players back this week.

221
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 4: Hopefully will We'll be back. Hopefully CJ is back, uh

222
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 4: and UH and you're at full strength or as close

223
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 4: to full strength as you can get uh George Fant

224
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 4: hopefully he's back from the ankle injury.

225
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 5: And uh and you go.

226
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 4: You you come home against a solid Cleveland Browns team

227
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 4: that that's playing some pretty good football right now. Uh

228
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 4: and you're and you're ready to to to take them

229
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 4: on physically, uh more so than obviously mentally.

230
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: Okay, this question is for both y'all. I've kind of

231
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 2: thrown this that Mark a little bit. We kind of

232
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: danced around us a little bit, Dre. On this day

233
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: last year, December eighteen, twenty twenty two, Jack McKinnon ran

234
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 2: in a touchdown for the Chiefs and gave the Chiefs

235
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: win in overtime, and that put our record.

236
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: At one twelve and one.

237
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: What what if after that game, I said, you look,

238
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: it's okay, it's all right, it's all right.

239
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: On this date next year we'll be eight and six.

240
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: What would you two have thought and said to me

241
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 2: at that particular moment, Dre, you go first.

242
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 5: Probably would have told Mark, we need to go check

243
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 5: you in.

244
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: Man. Yeah, I'd be like, drugs are a bad thing.

245
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: What are you doing?

246
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 3: How about this? How about this? If we told you

247
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 3: that the record would be eight and six? Demico Ryans

248
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 3: as your head coach. You have the hottest quarterback in

249
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: the league now, I mean, but I would say, what

250
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: pinch me? And that's how I still feel today. I

251
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 3: walked into the building this morning with utter joy thinking

252
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 3: once again, and I do this almost weekly, Demiko Ryans

253
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: is our head coach. You know, even if the record

254
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 3: right now wasn't as good, if it was six and eight,

255
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 3: I'd still be saying, Dimiko Ryans is a hard coach,

256
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 3: good hands.

257
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 5: Think about how that used to feel.

258
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 4: A couple of coaches to go for everybody, secretary, you know,

259
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 4: security guards.

260
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 5: Everybody that was in the build.

261
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 4: How did that feel a few years ago as opposed

262
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 4: to the way you feel right now going in that building.

263
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 4: It's amazing how one person could make that big of

264
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 4: a difference.

265
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 3: I'm telling you right now that and I won't say

266
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 3: anything about anybody else, but I'll say this about Demko.

267
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 3: He's a total game changer. But there are great people

268
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: in this building. I think Nick Cassara is a great person.

269
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 3: I think that you look at how the mcnairs are

270
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: handling the situation, how they were able to get to Miko,

271
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: all all of it working together is phenomenal, and I've

272
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 3: never really seen it quite like this. Now in twenty

273
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: eleven it was great, there was something different about it.

274
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: All right, fine, but.

275
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,479
Speaker 3: There's just something about this that Demiko is a homegrown

276
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 3: product and he's your head coach and all of it's

277
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 3: coming together like this, and I don't know where it goes.

278
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 3: Maybe they flame out, but it's okay because they are

279
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 3: way better than they were and they're going places in

280
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 3: the future. And when that future is, we'll all see together.

281
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: Maybe it's immedia, maybe it's next year. But they're clearly

282
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 3: on the right path as an organization, there's no doubt

283
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: about it.

284
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 4: I think they certainly hit a home run obviously with

285
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 4: the Miko and give him credit as well of bringing

286
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 4: in coaches, competent coaches that are able to teach and

287
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 4: get players to understand, because that's coaching. You know, everybody

288
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 4: can have a plan and a book, a playbook besides

289
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 4: the New York phone book, and you know, hey, learn that,

290
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 4: and it's on you. If you don't learn it, you're

291
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 4: not a pro. No, You've got to have guys that

292
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 4: can teach first and foremost, so that everybody understands how

293
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 4: you call plays matters because eleven guys need to understand

294
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 4: what their responsibilities are and that's what this staff is,

295
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 4: and they make adjustments in game.

296
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 5: Absolutely, they've proven that they've.

297
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 4: Been able to do that both on offense and defense,

298
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 4: to get a handle on things at certain times during

299
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 4: a game.

300
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 5: So it's it's refreshing to see it. I saw him

301
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 5: pre game yesterday.

302
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 4: He and Nick were having their pregame talk or whatever,

303
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: and he just exudes confidence where you believe in him

304
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 4: as an individual and as a man, and obviously as

305
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 4: a coach of the Houston Texans.

306
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: I just feel the word joy.

307
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

308
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm unlike a lot of people.

309
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: You know, I get to go into the locker room

310
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 2: because I'm getting an interview at the at the at

311
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: the end of the game. You know, I got John

312
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 2: Grenard yesterday and he's freaking awesome. So I get to

313
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: be in that locker room and I get to see

314
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 2: every face walk by me with a smile, whether it's

315
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: a staff member or a coach or you know, a

316
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: player or whomever, just walking by me, shaking my hands,

317
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: dap me up, whatever, Just such joy in how that went,

318
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: in what they're feeling. And I think losing to the Jets,

319
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: It's like, man, that was that was as low as

320
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: I've been all year. And yet I thought back to

321
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: everything that they've gone through and everything that they've done,

322
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: and the key thing in all.

323
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: This is it's always a moving target. It's always a

324
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: moving target.

325
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: And yet to move the target and keep moving it like, Okay, well,

326
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: can we win a game on the road? Can we

327
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: win a division game? Can we beat the Jags? Can

328
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: we beat the Steelers? Can we do these things? Can

329
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 2: we have a winning streak? Can our defense make stops?

330
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: Can we win games at the end? Are we inn

331
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: exciting too?

332
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 5: Like?

333
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: All these hurdles we've crossed.

334
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: But we've done it with people those positions. Like watching

335
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: Demiko on the defensive staff celebrate a John Grenard sack

336
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: is freaking aws.

337
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is awesome. It's freaking awesome.

338
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 3: And Nick Casia gets out his calculator every time Grenard

339
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 3: gets another sack.

340
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, there's another whatever it is? All right?

341
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 3: So this weekend, folks, Now we get a Monday night

342
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 3: or tonight with Philly and the Seattle Seahawks, and that

343
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 3: doesn't affect the Texans. But this weekend plenty of action

344
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: does the Bengals will visit the Steelers. I don't know

345
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: how they keep doing it, but they keep doing it.

346
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: Jake Browning, are you kidding me?

347
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 3: And I know the Steelers are reeling right now seven

348
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: and seven, but I don't put it past them to

349
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 3: beat the Bengals. I think they can do it. And

350
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: the Colts will be at the Falcons. Would love the

351
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 3: Falcons to try to do something dramatic there. I don't

352
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 3: know if it can happen. The Colts are living on

353
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 3: the edge every week as well, Dre. It's wild to

354
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: see how many backup quarterbacks are playing in the league

355
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 3: right now for contenders.

356
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't remember another time.

357
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: Like this where you see a situation with so many

358
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: reserves contributing to the cause.

359
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know a guy like Gardner Minshew,

360
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 4: who is obviously the backup playing now in Indianapolis. I

361
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 4: don't know that I kind of count that as one

362
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 4: because he's been a starter, and he's been playing for

363
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 4: so long and starting now this year for so many

364
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 4: games that I don't know that I throw him into

365
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 4: that he's kind of in the middle of it.

366
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 5: But I get what you're saying.

367
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 4: And it is kind of kind of interesting that that's happened,

368
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 4: But it goes back to again the survival of the

369
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 4: fittest and who is healthiest at the end of the season.

370
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 4: But these guys are actually chunking it around. Flacco's played,

371
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 4: you know, I know he was sitting at home for

372
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 4: the start of the season and then now he's doing

373
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 4: what he's doing. But he had been around football more

374
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 4: recent than DeShawn and playing and in a locker room

375
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 4: more recent than Deshon. De Shawn's got a long way

376
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 4: to go, and now with this injury and trying to

377
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 4: come back with more time, he's not going to be

378
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 4: the same player. He's just think about it from the

379
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 4: standpoint on a much different level or maybe a similar

380
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 4: level to Michael Vick when he came back. Was he

381
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 4: ever the same player, the magical player that he was before?

382
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 4: You know, having to sit down a little bit, and

383
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 4: he was, but he was still a very good player.

384
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 4: Tells you a lot about how good Michael Vick actually was,

385
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 4: And I think the same Deshaun's going to follow the

386
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 4: same day.

387
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 5: It's nothing like facing it.

388
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 4: Live every single week and then getting to game day

389
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 4: and it gets even faster, sitting, having to rehab.

390
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 5: Now you've got to teach yourself to throw. All of

391
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 5: it is.

392
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 4: It's going to set him back tremendously. So it'll be

393
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 4: interesting going forward what happens in Cleveland, especially with Flacco inserted.

394
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 5: In and they're winning and on a playoff run.

395
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 4: The locker room, the team, the coaches, all of that

396
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 4: will play a part in it when Deshaun comes back.

397
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: Okay, interest you in a Flaco number? How about this? Yes?

398
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: Games with two hundred and fifty yards and two plus

399
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 2: touchdowns Joe Flacco the last three weeks has three of them. Geez,

400
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: the Steelers since Big Ben retired.

401
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: Zero zero zero zero. Yeah, it's tough.

402
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 2: Fifty and two touchdowns. CJ does that in a half.

403
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: It's rough outside, oh man, a lot of teams. We

404
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: need the Steelers this weekend. Need them. Yeah.

405
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh on the ropes. The Jags are kind of on

406
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 3: the ropes here with Trevor Lawrence on the concussion protocol. Drake,

407
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 3: what do you have going on in college this week?

408
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 3: Any bowls?

409
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 5: Yeah? Traveling up to Fort Worth.

410
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 4: Excuse me for the Armed Forces with James Madison, who

411
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 4: is who got in with an eleven and one record.

412
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 4: I think it's ridiculous that you know, if you if

413
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 4: you join a conference, if you're allowed in, hey, whatever

414
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 4: happens happens, you get to play right away instead of night,

415
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 4: you know, penalty period where you got to sit well.

416
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 5: But luckily for them, they weren't.

417
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 3: Why do they even do that, because I don't know.

418
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 3: They act like it's an advantage. No, you're disadvantaged. Automatically

419
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 3: try to move up. However, they exactly clearly excelled. But

420
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 3: let them play, and you need the Bowl games are

421
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: Bowl Game participants anyway, go ahead.

422
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 4: So you got jam and then yeah, and they're playing

423
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 4: air Force, who's obviously we know they're head coach Troy Calhoun.

424
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 5: So it'll be interesting to see that matchup. James Madison

425
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 5: comes in eleven.

426
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 4: And one and at one point they were ranked as

427
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 4: high as, like, I think, seventeenth in the country, so

428
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: it's it'll that's an interesting matchup there. Fantastic against the run,

429
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 4: I think, only allowing like sixty one yards a game,

430
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 4: and air Force comes in and that's all they want

431
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 4: to do is run the thing.

432
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 5: So it'll be a fast, quick game and I'll be

433
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 5: right back here.

434
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 4: In the Houston just to get ready for Sunday with

435
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 4: the Texans and Browns.

436
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 2: Can't wait, Browns Texans Noon kick at NRG Christmas Eve Day.

437
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: You get the game in, you get the.

438
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 2: Win, you go home, you have your Christmas Eve festivities,

439
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 2: and then you out Monday to celebrate Christmas or whatever

440
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 2: holidays you're gonna celebrate all of that happening.

441
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: Busy, busy week. But it was great for Drey to

442
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: join us.

443
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 2: Some great insight in where we had a lot of

444
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 2: fun on the broadcast yesterday. And like I said earlier,

445
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 2: Drace from Dickinson, from Mitch from Rosenberg, it hits a

446
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 2: little different, hits a little different. All I know is

447
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 2: each town came out with a win. Oilers Titans, didn't matter.

448
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 2: They both took an L yesterday. Oiler says an L

449
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: in it doesn't it.

450
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 5: Yeah?

451
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 2: Oh well, Indy Klue had some things to say about

452
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 2: that as well.

453
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: We'll talk to him next right here in Texans All Access.

454
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 2: We'll back to Monday Nation of Texans All Access from

455
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: Monday Texans Radio Studio. I'm your host, John Harris, football analyst,

456
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 2: sideline reporter for your Houston Texans.

457
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: And before we get to our.

458
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 2: Pal n d Klue a little bit of news about

459
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: the Texans, and it actually includes yesterday's opponent. And I

460
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 2: talked about this guy. Actually this this particular I was

461
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 2: talking about him this week, and that is Tier Tart

462
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: from the Tennessee Titans. Adam Schefter. I see was the

463
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 2: first I saw. Could be wrong, but it could be

464
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 2: Aaron Wilson. But either way, I'm ready. Schefter's tweet. Houston

465
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 2: Texans have claimed former Titans starting defensive tackle Tier Tart

466
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 2: on waivers. He is a huge human being. Although I

467
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 2: think he's only listed like three hundred and ten pounds.

468
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: He's big and can move, and the Texans now have him,

469
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 2: having claimed him under waivers. The Titans released him during

470
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: the week, and so now Tier Tart a Houston Texan.

471
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: Very interesting. It's funny because I was talking to Mark yesterday.

472
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: We were kind of talking on the mic, kind of off,

473
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 2: you know, before the game started, and I was like, man,

474
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 2: they released here TARTI goes, yeah, I saw that earlier

475
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 2: in the week, and I just said those words. I thought, hmm, interesting,

476
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: and then I kind of that we got into the

477
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 2: game and I didn't think much about it later, but

478
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: at the time, I remember thinking, hmm, and home Hold

479
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 2: Texans have made a waiver claim. They made a waiver

480
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 2: claim on Derek Barnett. That's worked out really, really well.

481
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: They signed Adrian Amos after he was released by the

482
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 2: New York Jets. So a lot of things going on

483
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 2: with some veterans, and you never know when you need

484
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 2: that veteran influence. So Tier Tart claimed on waivers by

485
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. But

486
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: you take a shot on a very talented, big athletic guy,

487
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: and you can't have enough big athletic football playing human beings.

488
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 2: And Tier Tart joins the squad very soon. Indy Kalu

489
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 2: used to be a Houston Texans football player.

490
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: He will always be a Houston Texan.

491
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 2: And he joined me and Mark and we had a

492
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 2: really fun discussion with nd Take a listen.

493
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 3: What is it about a team that rallies together? We

494
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 3: talked about it. They would need to do it. They

495
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 3: had no CJ. Stroud, no a lot of things, but

496
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 3: they go up there and they get the victory.

497
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: What did you think of what you saw yesterday?

498
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 5: Great team win.

499
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 6: You know when you talk about your All Star quarterback out,

500
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 6: your number one wide receiver out, your number two wide

501
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 6: receiver if you want to call tang Dell that out,

502
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 6: your best defensive player Will Anderson out. Then you go

503
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 6: on the road and you win a game like that,

504
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 6: a game that matters for both teams. You know, I

505
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 6: just felt like that was a huge team win, especially

506
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 6: with how they embarrass themselves against the New York Jets.

507
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 6: You know, when you talk about good teams, good teams

508
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 6: are gonna lose in a seventeen game season, but how

509
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 6: do you respond after those losses. I just thought this

510
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 6: was a great response and a great win.

511
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 2: Indeed, defensively, seven sacks holding Henry to nine yards. As

512
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 2: you're watching that, and I know I'm watching on the sidelines,

513
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: is just wait, I'm waiting for that one run where

514
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh god, he's just gonna like plunge the

515
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 2: dagger in our hearts, especially in a close game.

516
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: And yet it never it never came.

517
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 2: What was your thought watching the defensive front, in particular

518
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 2: getting after Lews slowing down Henry.

519
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: What'd you think of the front?

520
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 6: I mean, what can you think outside of an awesome

521
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 6: job because they didn't just get it done when it

522
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 6: comes to playing the run. They like you mentioned the

523
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 6: seven sacks, Jonathan Grenard having a Pro Bowl type season

524
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 6: with twelve and a half sacks on the year. You

525
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 6: know that one guy when he's healthy, he's productive. He's

526
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 6: already played in more games this season as he has

527
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 6: in his entire four year career. So he's one of

528
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 6: those guys. His availability is his best ability because he

529
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 6: can play when he's out there. But just great team

530
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 6: defense up front. When you hold the guy like Derrick

531
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 6: Henry to nine yards, that's definitely something that you're gonna

532
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 6: talk about, something you're gonna appreciate because he is one

533
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 6: of the best that he has crushed the Texas over

534
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 6: the last five games.

535
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 3: Andy, no doubt, Davis Mills is a good teammate. Keenan

536
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 3: gets the start, they have to go through whatever dynamics

537
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 3: they have to go through to get to the understanding, Okay,

538
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: this is good for the football team. Let's see how

539
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 3: it plays out. How does it affect the rest of

540
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 3: the team psychologically? When Keenum is in the hole, he's

541
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 3: the guy calling signals, a veteran like that, and the

542
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 3: way the team feels about him going through the situation

543
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 3: they're going through you.

544
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 1: You and I have talked about CJ.

545
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 3: Stroud and the effect he has on the defense, because

546
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 3: everybody's pumped up. What about what Keenum does to the

547
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 3: team in this context, in this situation.

548
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,959
Speaker 6: You know, I don't know if I should be saying this,

549
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 6: but I didn't even think or know that it was

550
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 6: going to be a question when CJ.

551
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 5: Stroud was out.

552
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 6: I just assumed, Okay, Case Keenum is going to be

553
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 6: your starter, because he's the type of guy with what

554
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 6: he's done in the league, with the way he carries himself,

555
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 6: with the respect that he has not just from his

556
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 6: Textan teammates, but around the NFL. When you insert him

557
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 6: as a starting quarterback. Yes, we know CJ. Stroud has

558
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 6: a higher ceiling, is a better quarterback right now in

559
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 6: their career, but Keenum' is that type of guy that

560
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 6: everybody rallies around and everybody says, hey, we still have

561
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 6: a chance. So I was actually surprised early in the

562
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 6: week where it was like, hey, who's going to be

563
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 6: the the quarterback with CJ.

564
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 5: Stradout.

565
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 6: I just assumed it's gonna be Case Keenum because of

566
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 6: the tangibles and intangibles that he has, and he's a

567
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 6: guy that he's already proven he could win big games

568
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 6: in the NFL, and he understands his role as a backup.

569
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 6: So with Davis Mills, you had good teammate. He's still

570
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 6: getting the check, so he still requires to do what

571
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 6: they ask him to do. But I just always felt

572
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 6: like if CJ. Straud goes down, this is case Keenum's team.

573
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: Andy.

574
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 2: I don't know if at any point in your career

575
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 2: you had an extended, like beyond normal time where you

576
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 2: missed playing.

577
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: And I bring this up.

578
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 2: Because Charlie Heck yesterday played right tackle every single snap

579
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 2: and Charlie had not played football since Week eighteen against

580
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: the Colts last year, like no training camp, no physical

581
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 2: training camp practices, none of that.

582
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if that ever happened for you during

583
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 1: your career.

584
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: I feel like that needs to be mentioned a lot more,

585
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 2: just because when you don't play football for that long

586
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: and you're able to step on a field, and he

587
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 2: gave up one sack and a case kind of rolled

588
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: into it.

589
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: But either way, you didn't hear Charlie's name.

590
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: He had to get a twitch on a fall star

591
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 2: than that, he ran the ball well, and Charlie played

592
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 2: every single time. How how amazing really is that for

593
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 2: Charlie to have gone a whole entire year, almost a

594
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: calendar year, not playing football and then show up and

595
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: play the number of plays and play as well as

596
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 2: he did.

597
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 6: You know what, I'm so glad you brought that up, because, Yeah,

598
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 6: I spent a year on IR when I tore my

599
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 6: ACL and then that next year, you know, I was

600
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 6: inserted back into the starting lineup. And it took me

601
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 6: about six or seven games, as long as that sounds,

602
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 6: to really feel like, Okay, I can go out there

603
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 6: and do this. So when I saw Charlie Heck, when

604
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 6: I saw that name Heck and the huddle, I was like, oh,

605
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 6: oh oh, you know they're gonna insert him back into

606
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 6: the starting lineup. He's gonna get extended playing time. And

607
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 6: he held his own. I watched him very closely. He

608
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 6: just goes to show how he how he approached his rehab,

609
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 6: how he approached getting back in football shape. Because I

610
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 6: was expecting them to expose them. I was expecting him

611
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 6: to have multiple off size penalties, multiple sacks that he

612
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 6: gave up as he was knocking off the rust. And

613
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 6: I thought he was very solid, and this is a

614
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 6: guy that I felt he could easily be a good

615
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 6: swing tackle for the Texas for years to come. But look,

616
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 6: there's no controversy here, but he's shown that he might

617
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 6: be able to be a starter in the NFL with

618
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 6: the way he bounced back from that injury and for

619
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 6: his first game back to play the way he did

620
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 6: against this pretty salty defensive front and.

621
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 3: The Devin Singletary was terrific one hundred and twenty one

622
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 3: yards four point seven per pop, had the big catch

623
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 3: and run to set them up in field goal range

624
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 3: in overtime. And we're not seeing much of Damian Pierce.

625
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: He had one carry yesterday. I still think there's a

626
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 3: lot to Pierce. But Singletary is just hot right now

627
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 3: in this system. On a day when you know you

628
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 3: needed to run it and they knew it too, and

629
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 3: you were able to do it against the pretty decent

630
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 3: run defense. Your thoughts on how they handle the running

631
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 3: back situation moving forward here as you get down the

632
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 3: stretch with these final three games in the regular season.

633
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 6: The experiment's over. I mean, I appreciate Damian Peers for

634
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 6: what he did as a rookie, when they signed Devin Singletary.

635
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 6: And I'm not saying this hindsight twenty twenty, but I

636
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 6: remember bringing up saying, hey, this is under the radar,

637
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 6: nice signing with Devin Singletary. Just watch what he did

638
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 6: at Buffalo. If you didn't have a chance to watch

639
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 6: him play, just go look at his stats. I mean,

640
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 6: this is a guy that a team could have brought

641
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 6: him in to be your starter without even having him

642
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 6: to bat on anybody in training camp. But I do

643
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 6: believe that with what Damian Pierce did last year, I

644
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 6: understand and appreciate why they weren't so willing to just

645
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 6: take the ball away from him. But the experiment's over.

646
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 6: You have to win these last few games. You have

647
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 6: to go undefeated in the last three games if you

648
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 6: truly want to have that real shot of get into

649
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 6: the playoffs. Devin Singletary has shown up this entire season

650
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 6: when you've given him the opportunity, I feel like he

651
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 6: not only does he need to be the starter, he

652
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 6: needs to get the huge bulk of the carriers moving forward.

653
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 2: Indy, we talked about this a lot. I know a

654
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 2: lot of people in Houston talked about it a lot

655
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,719
Speaker 2: because of the whole jersey thing, you know, the Titans

656
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: wearing the Oiler's jerseys and all that kind of stuff.

657
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 2: As a player, obviously you're not from that particular city.

658
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: In some cases you are, but a lot of cases

659
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: you're playing. You know, you played in Philly, you weren't

660
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 2: from Philly for as a player, do you kind of

661
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 2: channeled that in in some way, kind of channel the

662
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 2: way the fans are feeling into the way you feel

663
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 2: about that particular team. I mean, you think the guys

664
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: yesterday kind of sensed how much that it actually meant

665
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: to a lot of people in Houston.

666
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: Does that even come into.

667
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 2: Play for players or is it just I do my

668
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: job no matter who's on the other side, no matter

669
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: what they're wearing, et cetera. Do you kind of take

670
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 2: a little bit of that into your game maybe in

671
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: some ways shape.

672
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 6: Or form, you know, I think the fans want to hear,

673
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 6: yes you do, and it's right. I was thinking about

674
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 6: it right the victory, and it felt like it was

675
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 6: more for the fans than anybody, because the fans when

676
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 6: they saw the Oiler uniforms representing Tennessee, I know that

677
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 6: really was a gut punch, but most of these players, John,

678
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 6: they don't even know what love You Blue means, so

679
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 6: they probably think it's some crip game call when you

680
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 6: hear love get Blue, and you know you're.

681
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 5: Throwing up some gang sign.

682
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 6: But well, you know, the fans that are over thirty,

683
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 6: I think this victory is mainly for them, because even me,

684
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 6: I mean, as a player, you're not really a former player,

685
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 6: you're not really a fan of any one team. But

686
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 6: I'm from San Antonio. I grew up watching Warren Moon,

687
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 6: watching Lamar Latham, watching Blame Bishop with those powered blue

688
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 6: uniforms on, and to see that those uniforms were being

689
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 6: represented by Tennessee, freaking Tennessee, that was tough to watch.

690
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 6: So I don't know if the players, I mean, they've

691
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 6: heard it. You know, they heard about it. They're on

692
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 6: social media. They understand that it's a slap in the face,

693
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 6: but I don't think are truly resonated with them. But

694
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 6: I'm so happy they got that victory because I feel

695
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 6: like this for the fans, take the records out, take

696
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 6: everything away, the playoff implications out. But I think that

697
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 6: was huge for the fans to kind of shove it

698
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 6: back in the face of the ownership for the Tennessee

699
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 6: Titans for you know, doing what they did.

700
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 3: You know who we need to talk to people from Baltimore.

701
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 3: People from Baltimore in the eighties who would see the

702
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 3: Colts play, but they didn't get the Ravens for a

703
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 3: long time, well till the mid nineties. Right, Yeah, So

704
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 3: what was it like for them in the mid to

705
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 3: late nineties as Ravens playing the Colts in Baltimore or

706
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 3: even on the road in Indianapolis when you see that

707
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 3: cult uniform because of everything it meant to Baltimore. I

708
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 3: don't think there's any other equivalent. The Rams leave in La. No,

709
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 3: because in Saint Louis there was no other LA team

710
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 3: to play, right. The Raiders, well, they've lived everywhere. They're vagabonds,

711
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 3: you know. I don't know if it and the Raiders,

712
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 3: the LA Raider fans still feel like the Raiders belong

713
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 3: to them in a sense.

714
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: Right, It's still a California team. It's Vegas. It's close enough.

715
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 3: It's all one big region. We still have them. Is

716
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 3: there anything else I'm missing here? Because when the Ravens

717
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 3: go to Baltimore and the Browns play them, I think

718
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 3: they sting a lot because you see Ozzie knew them

719
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 3: in charge and things like that. And they still feel

720
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 3: like the Browns organizations.

721
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 2: Things the Browns fans because the Browns know the Browns

722
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 2: fans knew what they had.

723
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was a team that went when they

724
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: went to Baltimore. They ended winning a championship with ray

725
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: Lewis a few years later, so there was some of that.

726
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Aussie's prominent and Modell still owns the team

727
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 3: and everything. But Andy, I don't I can't think of

728
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 3: anything else.

729
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: But I'm with you.

730
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 3: When I saw and look, I didn't live here when

731
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 3: the Oilers were here, but I was feeling it. I

732
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 3: could feel it just by looking at the uniform. How

733
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 3: strange it is that this other city is wearing the

734
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 3: uniform because yeah, they're Titans. Now everybody's accepted that they moved.

735
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 3: They're Titans, let's go. But and they have some of

736
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 3: the Columbia blue in their uniform. I get it. But

737
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 3: that was a weird dynamic for sure. All right, let's

738
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 3: talk about Joe Flacko.

739
00:34:56,200 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 6: But it's not just I just want to make this point.

740
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 6: It's not just the uniform. But when you think of love,

741
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 6: you Blue. You think of the individuals that we say

742
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 6: these are Houston knowns. For Mike Rabel and I have

743
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 6: a lot of respec from Rabel. To go out with

744
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 6: the Bump Phillips had that was like adding all to

745
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 6: the boom because when you think Bump Phillips, you think Houston.

746
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 6: You think kicking the door and everything that he's done

747
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 6: so iconic for for Houston. It's not just the uniform,

748
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 6: but it's also like you're saying, hey, we're also stealing

749
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 6: your individual sports stars, whether it be coaches and players.

750
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 6: I was just hoping that they didn't will out Earl Campbell,

751
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 6: you know, on their behalf.

752
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: He was there. He was there, he was there. He

753
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: was their pre game on there from like on their side. Yeah,

754
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah. He was taking pictures with Eddie George

755
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: and Derrick Henry.

756
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Earl was there, and they honored Billy White

757
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 3: Shoes Johnson and I don't know if I said it

758
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 3: on the show, but I might have said it during

759
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 3: the game. Billy White Shoes Johnson played half his career

760
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 3: in Atlanta. They had Atlanta in the building earlier this season,

761
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 3: and they were wearing the ore uniforms that would have

762
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 3: been a good day to honor Billy why Ches Johnson,

763
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 3: who played half his career in Atlanta. But anyway, they

764
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 3: did what they did. I'm glad they honor the former Oilers.

765
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 3: That's nice for the players. I salute that for the players.

766
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 3: It's just weird for the fans. It felt like it

767
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 3: just felt like a troll, and it was a troll

768
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 3: and the Texans won the game, all right. Joe Flacco

769
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 3: and the Cleveland Browns a sentence I didn't think I'd

770
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 3: be saying earlier this season, but here they are on

771
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 3: Christmas Eve. Flaco threw three picks yesterday, but he also

772
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 3: threw well over three hundred yards and the Browns got

773
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 3: another improbable win over the Chicago Bears. Catch the freaking

774
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 3: hail Mary Bears help us out, they didn't.

775
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: What do you think, NDAs you face Cleveland Sunday?

776
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 6: You know scary about Cleveland? They remind me a lot

777
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 6: of the Houston Texans lately, where your quarterback's not giving

778
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 6: you great play, but the defense is picking it up

779
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 6: and because the great team play, you're still winning the game.

780
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 6: This game makes me nervous. Like you mentioned, Flaco throwing

781
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 6: three interceptions, but because of Miles Garrett and the rest

782
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 6: of those guys on defense, because David Joku has taken

783
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 6: his game to another level. They're tied end, they're they're

784
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 6: still winning games. This is gonna be a very tough game.

785
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 6: And before the season, everybody circled this game because of

786
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 6: the Deshaun was his name, Deshaun Watson factor. But now

787
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 6: they're circling the game because you're gonna have two good

788
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 6: teams with winning records of playing each other for a

789
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 6: playoff implications. So a strong team that's coming into town.

790
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 6: The players respect the Cleveland Browns. I just want the

791
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 6: fans to realize, like, hey, this is a big game

792
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 6: because they have some talented players that are picking up

793
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 6: their game even though they don't have that consistent play

794
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 6: at a quarterback position.

795
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 2: Andy rushing the quarterback, when you face a guy like Levis,

796
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 2: you know he can move, he's a strong guy, et cetera.

797
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, you know.

798
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 2: X marks the spot that's where he's gonna be. Are

799
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 2: those games easier for a pass rusher or are they

800
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: more difficult for a pass rusher because the offensive line

801
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 2: makes adjustments and you sometimes those mobile quarterbacks will run

802
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 2: right into your arms. Guys that are sitting in the pocket,

803
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 2: you got to work to get there. Is it tougher

804
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 2: to gogetst the statue or is it more frustrating to

805
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 2: go against the statue?

806
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 5: No? You, I mean you.

807
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 6: Lay your ears back and you love it. You love

808
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 6: going against the guys that are pocket passers, and it

809
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 6: doesn't take anything away from them. You know, Tom Brady

810
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 6: wasn't you know, fleet of foot, and he's one of

811
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 6: the best, if not the best quarterbacks ever played. But

812
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 6: those are the quarterbacks you say, Hey, now, I can

813
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 6: focus on beating the man in front of me. But

814
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 6: when you play a Will Levis, when you play a

815
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 6: mobile quarterback, not only do you focus on beating the

816
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 6: man in front of you, then you have to make

817
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 6: sure that you're right back in your rush lanes to

818
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 6: make sure you don't give up any break content. You

819
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 6: don't allow him to break containment or to go through

820
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 6: the Russian lanes. But no, for a guy like Flacco

821
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 6: who's had a great career, Will Anderson, if he's back

822
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 6: Jonathan Grenard, I mean they're they're licking their chops right.

823
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 3: Now, all right, Eddy, on the Players Show tomorrow, you

824
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 3: have Caiman Al Fairbairn as a guest. He's going to

825
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 3: be AFC Special Teams Player of the Week, and I

826
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 3: want you to ask him about how golf helps him kick,

827
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 3: among other things. The rest is yours, all the rest

828
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 3: of the cos and.

829
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 5: I will make that the number one question. Man.

830
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 2: You know, Mark's got to get a golf question in,

831
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: especially Kaymie. Apparently he can he can drill it. Apparently

832
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 2: he is a really really good golfer. I guess kickers

833
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 2: and quarterbacks make for good golfers. I don't know, uh,

834
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 2: but we'll find out. Because Andy is gonna have Kymie

835
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: in the Players Show alongside Drew. That's gonna be a

836
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 2: fun fun time. Also fun is when the General stops by.

837
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 2: John McClain joins us next on Texans All Access. We

838
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 2: got one final segment this edition of Texans All Access

839
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 2: honest wonderful Monday. Hopefully you're enjoying it wherever you are.

840
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 2: My name is John Harris. I'm your Hostano silamb reporter

841
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 2: for your Houston Texans. Glad you're with me. It's time

842
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 2: to catch up with the General. John McClain. He joins

843
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 2: us every Monday every Thursday. Love having the general on.

844
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 2: So here's mark me and the general.

845
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 5: Let's go.

846
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 3: Boy, you have some perspective on this. What were your feeling?

847
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 3: Is your reaction seeing those Eiler unis the whole scene

848
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 3: play out yesterday as the Texans went up there with

849
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 3: kese kenemy quarterback and got the victory.

850
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 7: I think the Texans showed them where they could stick

851
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 7: all that Columbia blue and made sure they have a

852
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 7: Columbia blue Christmas. It was to me, under the circumstances

853
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 7: with missing so many players, the most impressive performance of

854
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 7: the season, the most physical by the defense. They just

855
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 7: manandled will Levis. They knocked him down eleven times, sacked

856
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 7: him seven times, the most since twenty sixteen, twelve tackles

857
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 7: for loss, and no matter what case, Kingam, Devin Single, Terry,

858
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 7: Noah Brown, Dalton Schultz did nothing was more impressive than

859
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 7: what they did to Derrick Henry. After averaging two hundred

860
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 7: and three point six yards and seven point one to

861
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 7: carry over the last five games, he touched the ball

862
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 7: twenty times for ten yards. He had more catches than

863
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 7: anybody on the team for for one yard, not to

864
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 7: mention sixteen carries for nine yards. That is the most

865
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 7: impressive run defense I've ever seen the Texans have. I

866
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 7: wrote a column last week that I thought they would

867
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 7: finally contain Henry because they've been playing great run defense

868
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 7: and they played great pass defense. Just what a performance.

869
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 7: Nine of the last ten decided by seven or fewer points,

870
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 7: and all of those nine decided in the last thirty seconds.

871
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,760
Speaker 7: And they're six and three, which tells you a lot

872
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 7: about the mocks in this team and this coaching staff have.

873
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: How many Road Division wins in a row? Is that mark?

874
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 5: Is that?

875
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 1: What did we figure out?

876
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 3: That's because, oh, you beat the Jags, you beat these guys,

877
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 3: you beat the Colts, Titans. You were three last year

878
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 3: in a row. I think it's six. That's six in

879
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 3: a row. It goes back to twenty twenty one.

880
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it goes back twenty twenty one.

881
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 3: So the Jags in decemberb go back to on the road.

882
00:41:58,840 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: On the roadsion, how about that?

883
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 2: There are a lot of numbers to get excited about general,

884
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 2: there's no question, and you just brought them all up

885
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 2: with the defense. Case Keenum's starting. All right, let's go there.

886
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 2: Case Keenum starting was I would imagine a pretty big

887
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 2: surprise to a lot of people your thoughts about a

888
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 2: the decision to start Case and be the results of

889
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 2: what Case was able to do yesterday.

890
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 5: It shocked me.

891
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 7: I thought it was going to be Davis Mills. Mills

892
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 7: one in Tennessee last year he had a great game

893
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 7: as a rookie against the Titans. He'd been the backup.

894
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 7: He played, but Damiko Ryan said, we thought it gave

895
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 7: us the best chance to win. And Case has started

896
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 7: only two games in four years, but boy, you know,

897
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 7: he's already proved he's a miracle worker with the Vikings,

898
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 7: and he kind of did it again with that pasted

899
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 7: adulted Schultz in which he made an incredible catch and

900
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 7: then having to scramble and find Devin Singletary, who did

901
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 7: a tremendous job. But you know, it's like Case, Dimiko said.

902
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 7: Case told his teammates, says that my first rodeo and

903
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 7: he said, Case said, I'm made for that, and so

904
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 7: he is. So now I think if CJ. Stroud's aren't

905
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 7: able to play against Cleveland, then people will feel safe

906
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 7: with Case and he'll play even better because now that

907
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 7: he has this game behind him. And but he's going

908
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 7: to be going up against a really tough defense and

909
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 7: a quarterback who's actually older than he is. Joe Flacco

910
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 7: turns thirty nine next month.

911
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you think of what's happening here in

912
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 3: the division? You have a three way tie for first

913
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 3: now with the jag sliding, and you have the Colts

914
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 3: still winning. Man, those Colts are so they're beyond pesky.

915
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 3: They are a total nuisance. What do you think?

916
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 7: I think that Anthony Richardson get hurt. Getting hurt has

917
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 7: helped put them in position to win the division. He

918
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 7: had only had thirteen starts in college. He was struggling,

919
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 7: he'd gotten heard. If he'd have been in I don't

920
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 7: think they'd be in the playoff race because he'd be learning.

921
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 3: And uh.

922
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 7: I think with Minshew, who was familiar with Shane steike

923
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 7: in system, coming from Philadelphia and he's been a multi

924
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 7: year starter, he was the ideal backup for them. He's

925
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 7: playing very well and I thought maybe, just maybe the

926
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 7: Steelers would win that game, and they jumped out ahead

927
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 7: and then just stunk it up big time. But it's

928
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 7: a great race. Jaguars or reeling. Trevor Lawrence is in

929
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 7: a concussion protocol and that could bode poorly for them.

930
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 7: So it's gonna I think it's going to come down

931
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 7: to that last game for the second year in a row.

932
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 7: It's going to have big time significance, just for the

933
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 7: opposite reason.

934
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's we kind of buried the lead. Do were

935
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 2: talking about the playoffs and all this, Colt Jackson Texans

936
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 2: tied a top of them. They're tied a top the

937
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 2: MC self listen to we're saying a year ago we

938
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 2: were won twelve and one. We were talking about we

939
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 2: came close against the Chiefs and Cashman sack.

940
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: And oh my god, I thought we were gonna do it.

941
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 2: We're one twelve and one, and now we're talking about

942
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 2: being tied with the Jaguars and at that point in general,

943
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 2: how much trouble are the Jaguars in having lost three

944
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 2: in a row. Now they go to Tampa with Trevor

945
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 2: Lawrence in the concussion protocol and obviously we experienced that

946
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 2: last week and CJ. Bethard ain't case keenum your thoughts

947
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,240
Speaker 2: about what Jacksonville's facing.

948
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 7: I think Baker Mayfield's coming off maybe the best game

949
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 7: of his career, four touchdowns, rating in the one fifties.

950
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 7: I think a perfect and they're trying to win the

951
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 7: division right now, it would take against him. It's going

952
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 7: to be them are it's going to be New Orleans.

953
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 7: I saw the odds are that the Bucks have the

954
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,439
Speaker 7: best chance, and they got a good chance to win

955
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 7: this game, even if Trevor Lawrence is playing now that

956
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 7: Jaguars have been better on the road than at home,

957
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,919
Speaker 7: but right now they're not playing well at the worst time.

958
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 7: You can do it, you know the Texans and crunch

959
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,479
Speaker 7: time Texans, as Dimiko Ryan said, they had a better

960
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 7: taste in their mouth after that Jets performance. He said,

961
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 7: that's not a kind of team we are, and they

962
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 7: proved it. And it's people say, well it was the Titans. Well,

963
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 7: you know what. Titans were coming off an incredible victory

964
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 7: at Miami. They were sky everything was going for them,

965
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 7: and boy, the Texans really stuck it to him by

966
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:32,320
Speaker 7: pulling it out, led by the miracle worker Case Kennon.

967
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 3: Too early to tell what's going to happen with the

968
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 3: Titans in the offseason, how they're going to shape things.

969
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 3: They've been officially eliminated from playoff contention with that loss yesterday,

970
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,879
Speaker 3: But what do you think moving forward here? Obviously Rabel's there,

971
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 3: But is Levis the guy? They have a lot of

972
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 3: questions going into this offseason.

973
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 7: General, Yeah, they believe Levis is definitely the guy. They

974
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 7: don't have any quarterback issues. Rabel's not going anywhere Rad Calthorne,

975
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 7: who's finishing his first year as GM. Now they may

976
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 7: change some coaches because yesterday Tim Kelly and that offense,

977
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 7: they just they were terrible. That avalanche of sacks ed

978
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 7: by Jonathan Grenard. Every time I say Jonathan Garnard two

979
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 7: and a half sacks, three knockdowns of Levies, a tackle

980
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 7: for loss, I hear the cash register raging.

981
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: Well to be blunt, John's not the only one. I'll

982
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: just leave it at that.

983
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 2: There are a lot of people hearing that cash register

984
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: ring when JG's got a sack, and there are people

985
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 2: pushing hard for him to return, No doubt, me included,

986
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 2: I'd love to see JG back.

987
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 5: Once.

988
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:36,400
