Welcome into a Monday edition 20 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: of Texans All Access from the Honday Texans Radio Studio. 21 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: I am your host, John Harris, fresh off a twenty 22 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: seven to twenty win over the New England Patriots. That 23 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: was fun and there are a lot of reasons why 24 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: it was fun, but start with the play to Shaun Watson. 25 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: Seeing some young players make some plays like John Grenard 26 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: Kiki Qt getting in the end zone was absolutely fantastic. 27 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: I think it may had shed a tear. I was 28 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: so happy for the young man who had been stuck 29 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: so far unfortunately into a doghouse, but he got himself out. 30 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: He's been working his tail off to get there and 31 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: he got there. In the defense, run defense was very 32 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: very good yesterday. Hate that PJ Hall will apparently go 33 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: on ir that's gonna be a that's gonna be a 34 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: big loss. He really had come to Houston ready to 35 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: prove everybody wrong. Had been really really good on the inside. 36 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: So Texas are gonna need some help on the inside, 37 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: whether it comes from Corey Leegiate who played and got 38 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: a sack against the Browns, or from some other way. 39 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: The Texas got to find a way to fit somebody 40 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: in that air seamlessly and keep that run defense and 41 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: that front playing at a pretty decently high level. Look, 42 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: you want the God's on his truth through the last 43 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: through eleven of the last twelve quarters since the bye week, 44 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: and I know James Robinson had ninety nine yards, but 45 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: the average less than four yards to carry. The run 46 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: defense has been pretty good. One quarter against the Browns, 47 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: it was not very good and that obviously cost him. 48 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: Cost him that that l so tune one since the break, 49 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: hopefully can get on a role here stacking these dubs 50 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: and a big one on Thursday at Detroit on Thanksgiving. 51 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: Kickoff is gonna be eleven thirty Houston time, twelve thirty 52 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: Detroit time, and it's time to get funky. Time to 53 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: get funky with the Detroit Lions team we see every 54 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: four years. Last time I saw him was twenty sixteen. 55 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: Had one of my favorite sideline interactions at halftime after 56 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: the Texas the pretty much dominated the first half broadcast 57 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: while threw an interception right before the half, and I 58 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to talk to the head coach at 59 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: the time and it didn't go very well. But that's 60 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: in the past. Also in the past in some senses, 61 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: Week eleven, not all the way in the pass because 62 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: we do have Bucks the Rams tonight. However, Week eleven 63 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: pretty exciting weekend for the most part, very exciting weekend 64 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: in the NFL. And it got started on Thursday night 65 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: when the Arizona Cardinals traveled up to take on the 66 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, a matchup that back in late October. Was 67 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: a late October, early November. They met on a Sunday night. 68 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: Seahawks had a late lead, looked like it was just 69 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: going to be blowout city, and then the Cardinals came 70 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: racing back, got it the overtime one. That thing in 71 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: overtime was a big win for the Cardinals at the time. However, 72 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: this one took place up in Seattle. That means you 73 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: gotta tango with Russell Wilson and Russell Wilson on this day, 74 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: very very good as always. Twenty three to twenty eight, 75 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety seven yards. But he had two 76 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: touchdowns and when he goes to the air, he looks 77 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: for his man, DK metcalf, Wilson, he's got to scramble 78 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: up throw in touchdown. Metcalf. Mccalf's numbers not gonna blow 79 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: you away in this one. Three for forty six, but 80 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: he did come up with that twenty five yard touchdown, 81 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: one of the touchdown grabs. But Tyler Lockett the dude 82 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: on this night, nine targets, nine receptions, sixty seven yards 83 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: and a much as the Seattle Seahawks get a twenty 84 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 1: eight to twenty one win over the Cardinals. Kyler Murray 85 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: through for two sixty nine and two touchdowns, but it 86 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: was not enough, as the Seahawks get to win twenty 87 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: eight to twenty one over the Arizona Cardinals, and the 88 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: Seahawks moved to the top of the NFC West. For now, 89 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with the Rams, but right now, 90 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: the Seahawks moved to the top of the NFC West. 91 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: A battle that we were watching pretty much all day 92 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: happened in Baltimore. Now we obviously we're watching our game 93 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: against New England, but Baltimore taking on the Tennessee Titans, 94 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: and of course we were go Baltimore all day long. However, 95 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: it didn't turn out the way it was supposed to. 96 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: Why Well, one reason was Corey Davis number five overall 97 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: pick in twenty seventeen draft. As down the field, if 98 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: Davis has his first catch beautiful grab by Corey Davis. 99 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: Another reason ended up being a J Brown second round 100 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: pick in the twenty nineteen NFL draft. Goes to Brown, 101 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: but I'm trying to wiggle free, still fighting for us, 102 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: but takes it all the way, fight believable efforts. Bro No, 103 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: we just got to talking about his ability to run 104 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: after catch, catch, caught, tackled, basically gets freeing down the 105 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: other people. He'll be down Boom gets free again. They 106 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: gotta go for two. The Titans would go for two 107 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: and get it and making a twenty four to twenty 108 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: one game, but a Justin Tucker fuel goal with fifteen 109 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: seconds left in the game tied it and sent it 110 00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 1: to overtime. Now, the Titans have been in overtime this 111 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: year at least one other time this year that I 112 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: can vividly remember, and I remember it was against US 113 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: and Derek Henry won it with an overtime run. So 114 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: how did the Titans finish this overtime game against the Ravens. 115 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: Derek Henry overtime run. He games taking it over time. 116 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: We talked about his second half search. It just starts 117 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: to wear you down, and you saw the effort Henry 118 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: cave cut back, finish, get through the arm tackle at Tennessee, 119 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: survives on the road and they went in Baltimore for 120 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: the second time in two twenty. Let's right, two wins 121 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: for the Titans over the Ravens. And I mentioned those 122 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: two Titans receivers. They're fantastic. Corey Davis had a hundred 123 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: and thirteen yards receiving. It was a j Brown with 124 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: the highlight touchdown that put them ahead. With four reception 125 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: sixty two yards of receiving. He carried about eight thousand 126 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: defenders into the end zone on that twenty five yard 127 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: touchdown reception. Derreck Henry twenty eight for one thirty three 128 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: in at twenty nine yard touchdown put the Ravens away. 129 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: The Ravens now six and four, and they've struggled the 130 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: last few weeks. They lost to the Patriots on Sunday night, 131 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: the Texans beat They then lost to the Titans, who 132 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: the Texans should have beaten, and it makes the Titans 133 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,599 Speaker 1: seven and three, Ravens fall to six and four, a 134 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: thirty to twenty four win for the Titans. Second win 135 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: at Mt Bank in twenty twenty for the Titans. My goodness, 136 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: we will face the Detroit Lions on Thursday. They on 137 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: Sunday travel to take on the Carolina Panthers and the 138 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: XFL MVP. Now, I can't remember if they ever did 139 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 1: a full vote or did a vote. I just know 140 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: with the Houston Roughnecks and the top team and the 141 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: best player on that team clearly was PJ Walker. Before 142 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: the league shut down, Walker lit it up that earned 143 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: him an opportunity to go play for his college coach, 144 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:18,239 Speaker 1: Matt Rule a Carolina. When Rule shut down Teddy Bridgewater, 145 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: who was trying to get himself healthy for the game, 146 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: he said, look, TB five, you're valuable, but you can't 147 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: do it today. Going PJ and PJ Walker was absolutely sensational. 148 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: He has by far the best arm on this team. 149 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: Showed a little of that arm there. He's gonna show 150 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: the arm off again. Going deep with DJ Morris, got 151 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: it down the sideline and tripped up inside the twenty. 152 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: PJ Walker after being cut not one, not twelve times 153 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: by NFL teams, being the XFL MVP unofficial though it 154 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: maybe he throws for two hundred and fifty eight yards 155 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: and a touchdown. He did throw two picks. They threw 156 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: for two hundred fifty eight and twenty four to thirty 157 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: four passing, ran the ball but for negative yards, but 158 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 1: didn't matter. He led the Panthers to a win. And 159 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: there's a picture of him going in the locker room 160 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: and going down kind of in the tunnel like right 161 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: as he's about to enter the locker room where everybody is, 162 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: and I can only imagine what that feeling was like 163 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: as he turned a corner and he sees his NFL 164 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: teammates ready to celebrate seeing him. NFL players understand the grind, 165 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: they understand what their teammates go through to get there, 166 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: and there was serious appreciation for PJ. Walker yesterday in Carolina. 167 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: He leads them to a win. DJ More seven for 168 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: one twenty seven. You heard the fifty two yard or 169 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: he had. Curtis Samuel had eight for seventy, Robbie Anderson 170 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: seven for forty six. I said it before the year, 171 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 1: Anderson More Samuel one a more dangerous three receiver combos 172 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: in the league, and they showed it. Twenty two of 173 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: Walker's twenty four receptions went to those three guys, and 174 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: for good reason, Lions did nothing. Matt Stafford five sacks, 175 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy eight yards passing, no touchdowns, non receptions. 176 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: They ran for forty yards forty Now you know that's 177 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: not a completely change on Thursday. You just know it. 178 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: That's just the way it always is. All right, let's 179 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: go to Cleveland where we were last week. The Browns 180 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: taken on the Eagles. Browns looking to get to seven 181 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: and three in What an accomplishment that would be for 182 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski, who had seven and three should be getting 183 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: Coach of the Year recognition right alongside Mike Tomlin. The 184 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: Browns got it started when Baker went Hollywood, or more so, 185 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: Baker went to Hollywood, Hollywood Higgins that is looking for 186 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: another pick player. He's got it this time. It's what 187 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: Sharan Higgins all the way down inside. That's twenty yard nine. 188 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: The Browns would capitalize in horrible weather conditions a few 189 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: drives later, when the Eagles had the ball in the 190 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: second quarter and Carson Wentz went back to pass and 191 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: oh boy, bad things happened. Happened because Takie Taki picked it, 192 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: picked it for six six of the fat to Sanders, 193 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: he's the release butt of that target. Balls it her 194 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: sip dead by to see the tack tacky pick six 195 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: to the hospital Browns. The Eagles tried to hang tough 196 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: in this one, but in the end it was just 197 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: a little bit too much Browns running game. Kareem Hunt 198 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: had a beautiful five yard touchdown run and then Nick Chubb, 199 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: like he did the week before against the Texans, sealed 200 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: it with a run around the left side, and my goodness, 201 00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: was this beautiful but cut by Chubb did Joe over 202 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb put up big gator, still on his feet, 203 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: still going inside the ten. One to one. Kareeman had 204 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: the touchdown on the day, a six yard that you 205 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: gotta see it to believe it. But it was Nick 206 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: Chubb with twenty carries for one hundred fourteen yards and 207 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: another fifty plus or at the end at fifty four 208 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: yard you just heard where he embarrassed everybody in the 209 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: Eagles uniform. Browns win again. That was my prediction before 210 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: the year. It wasn't gonna be last year, it was 211 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: gonna be this year. They are crushing at twenty two seventeen. 212 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: Two wins at home, one over the Texas, one over 213 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles, and horrid weather in both, but the Browns 214 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: right where they need to be. If the Steelers weren't 215 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: running away with this thing, they'd be right there for 216 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: a division title. But at seven and three they are 217 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: right in the mix. And if the season ended today, 218 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: as they say, the Browns would have a playoff spot. 219 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: All right. Speaking to the Steelers, they went to Duval County. 220 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: We're crazy. Things have happened the Steelers in the past, 221 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: not on this day. Why well, Ben Roethlisberger, Why Chase Claypool. 222 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: So you think this is a new phase to the 223 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: off I do. I think it's an extra phase to 224 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: the offense. Touchdownol Roethlisberger perfectly thrown ten touchdowns in ten 225 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: career game for Chase Claypool. Play off the candles due 226 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: two Smith Schuster. Yeah you think that's any good? Ten 227 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: touchdowns in ten games. Yeah, Chase Claypool in the running 228 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: for offensive Rookie of the Year. And I remember somebody 229 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: close as the draft god after he had done tremendously 230 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: at the Combine, had a really good senior year. I 231 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: remember there was there were a few people that were 232 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: actually sort of denigrating him, kind of like they were 233 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: doing DK Metcalf the year before. And I said, guys, 234 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: have you seen this guy. Have you seen him run? 235 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: Have you seen him do the things that he needs 236 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: to do? DK Metcalf should have taught your lesson the 237 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: guy with that sort of size, speed and measurables, you 238 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: think he's gonna fail, especially if the guy wants to 239 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: be great, like Chase Claypool would be. Chase Playpool wants 240 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: to be great, and he was great. There's no question 241 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: about that. He has been great. Four for fifty nine 242 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: and a touch. But the defense got it rolling as 243 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: well for second of nine pou second and picked off. 244 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: It's make up, it's touch. Rick wrestledown. Yeah, mank I 245 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: didn't care too much about being thrown down on the 246 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: ground the way he was by James Robinson, but it 247 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: gave the Steelers a shot right before the half. They 248 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: were back a little bit. That matter because Ben Roethlisberger 249 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: looked deep to Deonte Johnson. He got to deploy first 250 00:15:54,480 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: half up second effort Deonte Johnson. Johnson appeared to have 251 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: a touchdown, but he came up short at the one 252 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: yard line, but no worries. Benny Snell would take it 253 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: over the goal line under a minute left, completing that 254 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: sixty one yard drive that made it seventeen to three, 255 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: and this one was essentially over. The Steelers would shut 256 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: out the Jaguars for the rest of the game, score 257 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: ten themselves, and win this thing twenty seven to three. 258 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: Big Ben MVP candidate thirty two to forty six for 259 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: two to sixty seven and two tutties. James Connor ran 260 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: for eighty nine. Deonta Johnson caught twelve for one eleven. 261 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: How about that? And Claypool had that four for fifty nine. 262 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: As we talked about the Steelers had Johnson with twelve. 263 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: Then they had four receivers with three catches Claypool, Ebron Ray, 264 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: Ray McLeod and Juju Smith Schuster and James Connor had 265 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: three catches. Man, how about that? Defensively though the story, 266 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: how about this Terrell Edmonds not one but two picks 267 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: Mica Fitzpatrick not just the one you heard, but another one. 268 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: Steelers d big twenty seven to three. Steelers stay undefeated 269 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: ten and old Jaguars one and nine hanging onto that 270 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: second overall pick as we speak. Falcons took on the 271 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: Saints and the big story and this one was gonna 272 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: be Who's playing quarterback? Jamis Winston or Swiss Army knife. 273 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: Taysom Hill tell you this. I didn't think Taysom Hill 274 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: could play full time quarterback. He made a few throws 275 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: to prove me. Otherwise he'll loading up loft ing deep 276 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: going down there for handt Hill yesterday for the Saints 277 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: eighteen of twenty three for two hundred and thirty three yards, 278 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: no tutties, no interceptions. However, Taysom Hill also ran ten 279 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: times for fifty one yards and two touchdowns. Balance on 280 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: the ground Hill fifty one, with Tavius Murray forty nine, 281 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara forty five in a reverse to Harris for 282 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 1: twenty three. They ran for one sixty eight. My goodness, 283 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas helped him out in nine catches one hundred 284 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: and four yards as the Saints took down the Falcons 285 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: twenty four to nine, and Taysom hills first start under 286 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: Sean Payton. Saints moved to eight and two as the 287 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: Falcons fall to three and seven. All right, let's go 288 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: to Washington, DC, or in the vicinity where Alex Smith 289 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: getting it done for his first win as a starter. 290 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: Since that twenty eighteen season, it's been a miraculous story. 291 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: And yesterday Alex Smith didn't do a ton one hundred 292 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: and sixty six yards, sacked twice a touchdown, did throw 293 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: an interception. It was Antonio Gibbs on the ground that 294 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 1: was big and through the air. Alex Smith found himself 295 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: some Terry mclau it's hard to believe how far he 296 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: has come to get back to this point. Spit taking 297 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: a chance off the field. It's called right up the 298 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: scene and that is Terry McLaurin. What a kitch and 299 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: what a receiver. Terry McLaren is turning into led the 300 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: WFT with five receptions for eighty four yards, including that 301 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: forty two yard or from Alex Smith. The story though 302 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: in this one Joey Burrow out for the rest of 303 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: the year. Report on Monday torres acl and his mcl 304 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: was not a clean tear like it was for Deshaun Watson. 305 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: This could be a fairly lengthy rehab for joe Burrow. 306 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: We'll see, thoughts are out to him. He had been fantastic, 307 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: He had been really honestly making Bengals football fun to watch. 308 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: But the Bengals fall twenty to nine to the Washington 309 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: Football team, now tied an NFC East from a wind standpoint, 310 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,719 Speaker 1: all four teams in the NFC East three wins. Speaking 311 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: of three wins, and Denver Broncos had three heading into 312 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: a game with the Dolphins. They took a twenty to 313 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: thirteen lead into the fourth quarter, but Ryan Fitzpatrick off 314 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: the bench was driving the Dolphins until this Happenedtistic Simmons. Yes, 315 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: the All Pro Justin Simmons with a pick in the 316 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,479 Speaker 1: end zone to finish it, and the Broncos win this 317 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: thing twenty to thirteen. Simmons with that huge pick, but 318 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: this was balanced on the ground and the story of 319 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: this game the Broncos Melvin Gordon fifteen for eighty four, 320 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 1: two tutties, Philip Lindsay sixteen for eighty two, one hundred 321 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: and sixty six yards between the two on thirty one 322 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: carries phenomenal Broncos run offense. They get to win twenty 323 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: to thirteen. The Broncos go from three to four wins. 324 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: At four and six, dropped the Dolphins. Now in a 325 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: playoff chase. At six and four, Chargers took on the Jets. 326 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: It was pretty much a highly entertaining game for the 327 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: most part, but the Jets just couldn't get out of 328 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: their own way. Especially when Joe Flacco came in the 329 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: game from the backfield as the Jets takeover at the 330 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: four yard line. The second look confirms the fumbling and 331 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: intercepted and touchdown. Tavon Campbell ticks off Flaco's first pass attempt, 332 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: so the Chargers defense got him on the board, and 333 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: then Justin Herbert did it. The Chargers right way offensively 334 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: with Mike Williams permit with time throwing them over the 335 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: middle of Mike Williams with the catch to the fifteen, 336 00:21:50,520 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: the ten, the five touchdown Chargers thirty nine yards. That 337 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: thirty nine yard or would give the Chargers a lead 338 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: they would not relinquish. Herbert Rookie of the Year, lock 339 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: Man Chase Claypool has been very good and Joe Brow 340 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: was great, but the injury will hurt him. How about 341 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: this thirty seven having a forty nine for three to 342 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: sixty six, three tutties, no interceptions. Justin Herbert was stupid 343 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: good yesterday? Aren't Sunday? I should say sixteen of one 344 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: sixteen receptions for one forty five in a touch for 345 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. Mike Williams had four for seventy two in 346 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 1: a touch and Hunter Henry had four for forty eight 347 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: in a touch My goodness, that Charger offense put on 348 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: a show. Oh no, La, it's so five. Thirty four 349 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: to twenty eight Chargers. Man, if they could have won 350 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: some games when they had big leads late and didn't 351 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: blow it, they'd be a lot better than three and seven. 352 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: But here we are three and seven, Chargers thirty four 353 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: to twenty eight over the windless Jets. Maybe the game 354 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: of the day took place in Indianapolis. My goodness, what 355 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: a game this was. And I hate to even say that. 356 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: The Colts ended up winning this thing thirty four thirty one, 357 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: and man, it was crazy early as Michael Pittman got 358 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: up on the board for the Colts' reaction from Rivers 359 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: pass is called by the rookie Pittman, coming off his 360 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: best day. First touchdown Pittman that tied to score at 361 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: seven in the first half, but it was the first 362 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: half where the Packers took over. Three touchdowns in the 363 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: second quarter gave the Packers a twenty eight to fourteen lead, 364 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: but Indianapolis would fight back in the second half and 365 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: take a thirty one to twenty eight lead. The Packers 366 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: would get the ball back late, deep in their own territory. 367 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: It's okay. The Master of the Hill Mary was under center. 368 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: This one aired out Valdez scantling and he's got it. 369 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: Catches made, Rogers would lead the Packers on down, took 370 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: one shot the end zone, couldn't get it in, kicked 371 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: the game time field good one into overtime. That Saint 372 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 1: Marquez Valdez scantling though hands of butter in overtime. Unfortunately, 373 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: I love MVS, but this one was costly fumbled it. 374 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: Colts got on it a few runs and it was 375 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: time for hot rod. Good whole Colts. When it get overtime. 376 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: As much as I hate to say it, Colts looked 377 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: really good man really really good and opportunistic coming back 378 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: from behind the second half. The fumble recovery and MVS 379 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: on the screenplay. Big day for the Colts thirty four 380 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 1: to thirty one. I'm ale something out of the running 381 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: game this time. Jonathan Taylor, formerly at University of Wisconsin 382 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: twenty two carries ninety yards. Philip rivers through for two 383 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: eighty eight and three touchdowns, and he threw to about 384 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: a dozen different receivers. Big day, Colts get to win, 385 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: they move to I think seven and three. Yes, Packers 386 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: fall through seven and three as well, and then in 387 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: your Sunday Night till Man, what a game back in 388 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: fourth Derek Carr lobbying shots. James Harden even got mentioned 389 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: during the game as a run play for the Raiders, 390 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: Mahomes going back and forth. It's a great football game. 391 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: But the Raiders left just enough time on the clock 392 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: for the Chiefs down by three? Who do you think 393 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is gonna find? Travis Kelsey. I've seen that 394 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: movie before and I never liked how it ended. I 395 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: kind of liked o this one ended though, great protection 396 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,959 Speaker 1: again Mahomes to the ends of light off and touchdown 397 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: for Kelsey, Patrick Mahons, who exchanged plays like no other. Well, 398 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: I could think of a quarterback that can do it 399 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: as well or better. He lives in my zip code. 400 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 1: That's a story for a different day. Chiefs get to win, 401 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: moved to nine and one, thirty five thirty one. That 402 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: game winner to Kelsey puts him over the top. What 403 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: an excellent game in Las Vegas. Hate the fact that 404 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: they didn't have fans there because they would have loved, loved, 405 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: loved that game. And I thought NBC did a really 406 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: good job by the Sunday night game out in Vegas. 407 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: It was kind of kind of kind of very cool. 408 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: All right, we come back, let's hear from our good 409 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: pal Andre, where talk about yesterday and what we've got 410 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: to look forward to this week that's coming up next 411 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: on Texans All Access.

Saturday night, He's at ten thirty or after 429 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: the late Global News on ABC thirteen, walking about your 430 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 1: fun edition of Texans All Access from not a Texans 431 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: radio studio. I'm your host, John Harris's time to catch 432 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: up with our good pal who knows these Thanksgiving games 433 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: in Detroit very very well, our good pal Andre Ware. 434 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: And we started off with a question about Carolina Panther 435 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, the uber Young Gun Joe Brady. Dre is 436 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: Joe Brady gonna be a head coach next year? In 437 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: your opinion, I think he's certainly he's gonna be interviewed, 438 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: talked to. I wouldn't see any reason why he wouldn't. 439 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: And you know, there's a lot of excitement that surrounds him. 440 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: You guys obviously talking about p J. Walker, like any 441 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: any quarterback can kind of flourish in his system because 442 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: they do a good job of identifying what fits. They 443 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: knew right away that Teddy Bridgewater had a background in 444 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: the system when he was with the war Lens and 445 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: then obviously PJ Walker ran, you know, an offense somewhat 446 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: similar to a with a dynamic passing game when he 447 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: was here in Houston and the XFL. So I think, so, 448 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: I think, I think someone there there'll be enough job 449 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: openings where Joe Brady will get a lot of attention 450 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: and ultimately get one. What do you think of Okay, 451 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead? Mark all right, Well, so what 452 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: do you think of yesterday, dre because you know we 453 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: were talking about it at the top of the show, 454 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: how it was just a beautiful day with the roof open, 455 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: and you take the day unto itself. You're hosting the 456 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: top team in the league in the last two decades 457 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: and they got to their playing for something here now, 458 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: not that the Texans aren't, but they're in better shape 459 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: four and five coming in. They could have gotten a 460 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: five hundred, being much better shape in the AFC East, 461 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: obviously with the Bills till two games ahead of them 462 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: and the Dolphins losing yesterday. But the Texans end their 463 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: dreams for now, at least for one day, and get 464 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: the victory over New England. Tough wins to get. What 465 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: do you make of what you saw yesterday. I just 466 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: think they really identified what they are on offense. They 467 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: found their identity, and it's throwing the football. You uh, 468 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: you're able to do it, and by that I mean 469 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: you can consistently move it when guys are in and 470 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: out of the lineup, so that the entire left side 471 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: of the offensive line was out with Laramie being the uh, 472 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: the second guy out, Calimente was has been out for 473 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: a while, and you're still able to move to football 474 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: and protect. So that's what they are. They're a past 475 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: first offense. Now do you do it every down? No, 476 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: you got to keep the defense honest, but eventually you 477 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: spread them out and you're you'll be able to run 478 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: the football. It was just yesterday timing of the runs 479 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: may have tipped it in the in the Patriots favor 480 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: where they knew when it was coming. But nonetheless, this 481 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: is a past first offense and they I think they 482 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: finally realized that yesterday. Drey. I want you to expand 483 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: on your point, if you don't mind yesterday about KIKIQT, 484 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: because you and I have talked about this, We've texted 485 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: about this, and we've talked about him in particular and 486 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: he's such a dynamic player, but he had been in 487 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: whatever dog als couldn't play, couldn't get on the field, 488 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: couldn't be wasn't active, then he'd be active and he 489 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't get on the field at all. You said exactly 490 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: what I was feeling, and that was I wanted Key 491 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: Key to have a big play in that game. And boy, 492 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: it would be awesome if you could have a touchdown 493 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: on this drive, this drive that has been so fantastic. 494 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: But if you don't mind expand on that, because I 495 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: know you and I were kind of feeling the same 496 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: way about you know, and also a keywordness is confidence, 497 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: you know, and getting it back. What did you see 498 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: with Kiki? Well, I just knew guys just need an opportunity, 499 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: and especially with young players, you just can't brate and 500 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: beat up a young player over and over and over 501 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: again and and then expect something to change when you 502 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: never give him the opportunity. And so a guy's going 503 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: to work, he's working his tail off every single day, 504 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: and you know, earlier in the season makes a mistake, 505 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: he puts the ball on the ground. Eventually all of 506 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: them do, but you don't put him in a doghouse 507 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,719 Speaker 1: and close and padlocket forever and then just keep him around, 508 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: uh and don't utilize him and use him in any 509 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: way shape, you know possible. So it was it was 510 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: great for me to see him have a kind of 511 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: a breakout game and build some of that confidence back. 512 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: And that's what coaches are there for us to build 513 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: a young player up. You know, you hear this. Oh 514 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: we got to tear him down and build him back. No, 515 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: you don't. You just got to build them up and 516 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: build confidence so that they each and every Sunday can 517 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: go out and play for you. They're not trying to 518 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: make mistakes. But he's just one of a few. You know, 519 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: look at Jonathan Grennard. He was you know, dirt was 520 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,959 Speaker 1: thrown over him for the season and he breaks out 521 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: and has his first SAT. Roger Johnson played his butt 522 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: off yesterday. Max Sharpie couldn't find the field, couldn't get 523 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: to the active roster after starting last year. If on 524 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: an eleven win team, ross black line, I mean you 525 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: can just continue to go down the list. Charlie Heck 526 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: buried and played yesterday, had to come in for a 527 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 1: snap on offense and then contributed on special teams. So 528 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: you go down the list, all these guys were buried 529 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: and just thrown to the side. They were just names 530 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: on a team. But yet they contributed to a win. 531 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: And I think for all of them, you know, obviously 532 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: I mentioned Kiki Qt with the touchdown, but all of them. 533 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: You could say it about every single one of them. 534 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: Young players that needed confidence, their confidence built, and you 535 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: know it started yesterday. Well, you brought up Grenard in 536 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: the sack yesterday. That was good defensively stopping the ron, 537 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: stopping Cam Newton, who you and I and Johnny talked 538 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: about it before the game, about hey, don't ignore what 539 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: he can do through the year. You know, everyone talks 540 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: about the ground game and nine rushing touchdowns and that 541 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: was impressive and everything. But he could still throw the 542 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: ball and make plays. But the Texans got to them. 543 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: They got some heat on them, and they forced some 544 00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: bad throws. And I know that you look at the 545 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: passing total at the end of the day, but a 546 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: couple of plays really skewed that, including the hail Mary, 547 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: which was a completion but not even close to the 548 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: end zone. Your thoughts on the way the defense went yesterday, 549 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: I thought they played well I mean, you know, you thought, 550 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: oh boy, here we go again. When in that the 551 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: Patriots first drive, they're running it, they're mixing in a 552 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: couple of passes here and there, they're screening and and uh, 553 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: and Damian Harris is doing his thing. And then from 554 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: that point on, especially in the second half of the game, 555 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: they really set down the run and limited New England 556 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: to what they don't do well, and that's you know, 557 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: or don't do as well, and let's throw the football consistently. 558 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: They can run it and came in with you know, 559 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: one of the top rushing attacks in the in the NFL. 560 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: But I thought they got after the passer. You saw 561 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: different guys making plays. Terrell Adams made a great play 562 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 1: in the open field. I mean it was just justin 563 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: Reid might have played, you know, his best game of 564 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: the season yesterday, and so guys bouncing back, uh, putting 565 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,800 Speaker 1: it all the together and who knows, That's what I 566 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: said yesterday. Just just keep playing and at the end 567 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: of the year, just you know, see where you are. 568 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: But you've got some games that you can get some 569 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: people's attention coming up, and just keep winning. Who knows 570 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: what goes down in Tennessee or who who knows what 571 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: happens in Indianapolis. Injuries are a part of this game, 572 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 1: so you never know. I don't know if we've varied 573 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 1: elete on this, but I'm gonna read you guys some 574 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: numbers and you guys can react to this. Starting quarterbacks 575 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: versus the Patriots since twenty nineteen, you are ready for this. 576 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: Since twenty nineteen. All others not named as Shaun Watson, 577 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: they're eight and sixteen. They're completing sixty percent of the passes. 578 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: They're throwing for two hundred and one yards per game, 579 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: average yards per attempt at six point seven, TD interception 580 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: rat show is twenty three to thirty four, and they're 581 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,479 Speaker 1: pass rating is seventy one point five. All right, Shaun 582 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: Watson's played them twice. He's two and all His completion 583 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 1: percentage is fourteen points higher. His passing yards per game 584 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 1: is eighty eight yards higher at two eighty nine. His 585 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,359 Speaker 1: passing yards per attempt is two point six yards higher 586 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: at nine point three. His touchdown interception ratio is five 587 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: to zero, and his passer rating, like I said, all 588 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 1: of the seventy one point five. His passer rating in 589 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: two games against the Patriots one twenty nine point six games. 590 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 1: What's that? Two home games against the Patriots games against 591 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots. Okay, those are the two since twenty nineteen, 592 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen. You heard all the others, and you 593 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 1: heard Watson dre He was magnificent yesterday, maybe as good 594 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: as I can remember seeing him. What do you think 595 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,919 Speaker 1: overall of how he played? Yeah, I thought he was sharp. 596 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 1: Mark made a comment to me that in warm up 597 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: he looked sharp, and so you know, you he carried 598 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: over obviously into the game. But I think his skill 599 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: set just gives Bill Belichick nightmares. And you know, you 600 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: can in it's a whole lot easier when a guy's 601 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: a stationary target and you can pin him in the 602 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: pocket and things of that sort. There are a couple 603 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: of times that you know, he should have been dead 604 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: to rights, and he figured out a way to get out, 605 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,879 Speaker 1: and not only get out, but complete a pass that's uh, 606 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: that's down the field for a big game, or run 607 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: for a first down, to keep a drive going when 608 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: it was third down. It just drives. It's got to 609 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: drive Bill Belichick crazy to have to try to defend 610 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback, and so uh, he brings that yesterday. 611 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: It was it all kind of came together for him 612 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 1: from an accuracy standpoint and from a mobility standpoint where 613 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 1: he's able to make plays with his life. He led 614 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,919 Speaker 1: the team in Russian and that's uh, you know, that's 615 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: that's him kind of taking it on his back and 616 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: really not trying to do too much yesterday. But you know, 617 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,399 Speaker 1: he did enough obviously for them to win the game 618 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: and be effective doing it. Okay, we've got the Rams 619 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,720 Speaker 1: and the Buccaneers tonight and Brady's still very much alive 620 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,439 Speaker 1: and well at seven and three. It's been a little 621 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,359 Speaker 1: bit of an up and down thing, but mostly up 622 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 1: for the Buccaneers this year and the Rams at six 623 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: and three obviously still going in that NFC. What do 624 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: you think of Brady right now, Trey and what you're 625 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,760 Speaker 1: seeing in Tampa out of this guy who's like fifty 626 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: years old or something like that, I think you're seeing 627 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:24,320 Speaker 1: a quarterback, no matter who it is, adjusting to a 628 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 1: new offensive system. And you guys have heard me say this, 629 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 1: I don't know how many times, but when you go 630 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 1: when you don't have a foundation to come back to, 631 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: it's like learning, you know, being a rookie pretty much 632 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 1: all over again. And so it's it's a different style 633 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: of system as well. Where Bruce Arians wants to push 634 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. Brady's used to, you know, 635 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,760 Speaker 1: the underneath stuff and being Accu's super accurate and getting 636 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,920 Speaker 1: the ball out quickly. He's having to hold it a 637 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: little bit longer. He's still getting you know, adjusting to 638 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: chemistry issues with receivers and things of that sort. That's 639 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: why some games they you know, they look like, wow, 640 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: this is just bad, and then the next week they 641 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,839 Speaker 1: look like, well, that team's going to the super Bowl. 642 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,919 Speaker 1: And so it's just one of those where he's still 643 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: adjusting to what that Bruce Arians Baron left which type 644 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 1: of system. And I do think this though, once he 645 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: gets adjusted, they have enough talent to go on one 646 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: hell of a run of that. I do not disagree. 647 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 1: And tonight you will see Bucks the Rams. You can 648 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,439 Speaker 1: also hear it right here in our flagship sports Radio 649 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: six ten. The Bucks taken on a Bucks taken on 650 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:32,720 Speaker 1: the Rams, and it's a big one for both teams. 651 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: The Bucks are seven and three, the Rams are six 652 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,240 Speaker 1: and three. A win by the Rams ties them atop 653 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 1: the NFC West with the Seahawks. A win by the 654 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: Bucks gets them that much closer, and they need it 655 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 1: to get closer to the New Orleans Saints because the 656 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 1: Saints have beaten the Bucks twice. All right, we get back. 657 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: Let's time for the general to join us on this 658 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: edition of Texas a Access.

I'm your host, John Harris. 676 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: Let's dive writing with the General John McClean. General, your 677 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 1: thoughts on what you saw yesterday with the Texans and 678 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 1: the Patriots. The best thing I saw yesterday was the 679 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: performance of the defense, specifically the run defense, which was 680 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: the worst in the NFL. Here came the Patriots third 681 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 1: and rushing one hundred and sixty one yards of game. 682 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: They looked like on that first touchdown series with Damien 683 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: Airis scoring on a nine yard run, they were going 684 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: to be able to run the ball like most of 685 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: us thought. But they got eighty six yards, which was 686 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 1: seven Ever many one sixty one and eighty six is 687 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 1: That's how many fewer yards they got. So the run 688 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 1: defense was tremendous. And now they're going up against the 689 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 1: running team. It's twenty nine in rushing and a run 690 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: defense that's thirtieth in the Lions. But I expect the 691 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: run defense to play the way it did, And of 692 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,800 Speaker 1: course J. J. Watt is on a pace if he 693 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: can get three more deflections after getting a career four, 694 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,479 Speaker 1: he'll tie the second most of his career ten. He's 695 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: not gonna beat sixteen, which was his record in twenty twelve. 696 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 1: But uh, Watt and especially read Lonnie Johnson and Buck 697 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 1: Bradley Robie. There were a lot of guys that played 698 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: really well. But I'm telling you, when you unleash, hopefully 699 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 1: we still have the general there. Um, general, you're still there, 700 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 1: all right? Well, the general kind of drop off there 701 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: come back. Justin Reid, That's kind of the way I 702 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 1: expected him to play all year when I thought he 703 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: would go to his first Pro Ball. But man, he 704 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 1: was great. And considering they were going against Cam Newton 705 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 1: and and uh the Patriots running game, I thought that 706 00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: was such an impressive performance at a time when they 707 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 1: really needed it. Lions are coming off of first time 708 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 1: they've been shut out since two thousand and nine and 709 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 1: first time in Matthew Stafford's career. So this game Thursday 710 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,360 Speaker 1: will be about Stafford Watson throwing. I don't know what 711 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: the Texans can do for a running game. David Johnson 712 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 1: has to miss one more game, but he's looking pretty good. 713 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: And it's not the Backs, you know, they just for 714 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: whatever reason ken run block and another guy that deserves 715 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,800 Speaker 1: credit Roderick Johnson playing left tackle in place of Laramie 716 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 1: Tonso not I thought in Romeo o'cranell praised the heck 717 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 1: out of Johnson for a job well done that we 718 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 1: need to single him out as well. All right, john 719 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 1: before the game, had I said to you the Texans 720 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,200 Speaker 1: will hold Damian Harris the forty three yards rushing, or 721 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:52,320 Speaker 1: the Texans will give up no sacks without Laramie Tonso playing, 722 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:56,319 Speaker 1: which would have sounded more improbable to you. The run, 723 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,800 Speaker 1: because they've they've done a good job against the Patriots 724 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,320 Speaker 1: came rush the quarterback, they're leading pass rusher chasing Winvich 725 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 1: had two and a half, So if you're gonna miss Tons, 726 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,440 Speaker 1: so that was a good team to do it against. 727 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,960 Speaker 1: But the thing about the run after what we've just 728 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,160 Speaker 1: seen against Cleveland, and I thought, Okay, they can shut 729 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,320 Speaker 1: them down for half, they can shut them down for 730 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,399 Speaker 1: three quarters. But I thought sure that the Patriots would 731 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: do like the Browns, and there was a couple of 732 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 1: other teams that really put them to him in the 733 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 1: fourth quarter and they weren't able to do it. Johns 734 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 1: McDaniels kept calling pass plays, especially on first day, and 735 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, you know, the guys watch his tape, why 736 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: not run it more? But it would to me. The 737 00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 1: biggest surprise and the best thing about the Texans performance 738 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:43,360 Speaker 1: was their outstanding run defense against an offense that they 739 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,360 Speaker 1: had just come off a tremendous performance one hundred seventy 740 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 1: one yards rushing in a twenty three seventeen victory over 741 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 1: Baltimore team the Texans can't beat. But what about Baltimore 742 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 1: because they lose to the Titans yesterday and Derrick Henry 743 00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,360 Speaker 1: has to walk off overtime touchdown runs on the season, 744 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 1: one against the Texans, one against the Ravens. What did 745 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 1: you think of what happened in Baltimore yesterday? As they 746 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 1: had the pregame activity at midfield and harbonn Ravel not 747 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 1: very happy with each other about the situation. And then 748 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,480 Speaker 1: the Titans raised their record to seven and three. The 749 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 1: Titans had been reeling, the Ravens were coming off. You know, 750 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,520 Speaker 1: the Ravens beat the Colts and then they and so man, 751 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,839 Speaker 1: they're blowing and going because the Colts are good. Their 752 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,759 Speaker 1: defense is great. I think Matt eberflew so get an 753 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: interview here and he might get a head coach. I 754 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,520 Speaker 1: think he'll get his first head coaching job. The defensive 755 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 1: coordinator has done a tremendous job, so I thought the 756 00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,360 Speaker 1: Titans go to Baltimore. The Ravens even wanted revenge for 757 00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 1: that playoff loss at home that eliminated them when everybody 758 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,160 Speaker 1: thought they were a Super Bowl contender, and I thought 759 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 1: they'd get revenge. But man, the Titans stepped up, called 760 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,920 Speaker 1: stepped up with that great overtime victory over the Packers. 761 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 1: Those two teams are playing really well right now, and 762 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 1: Tans told these spoilers. I hate that term spoiler, but 763 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:07,239 Speaker 1: I think the General could actually be onto something there 764 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 1: with the Texans as spoilers the rest of this season. 765 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 1: Big thanks to General, Big thanks to Andrea Ware, to 766 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 1: Mark VanderMeer, to all of you guys for listening, Thank 767 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,240 Speaker 1: you so much.
