1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: So Andre, you look at the whole situation. Oh, in three, 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: the Texans are the only team to make the playoffs 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: after starting going three this century. Now we'll get into 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: more of that later. Perhaps what matters most is just 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: playing better football. You can't turn it over three times 6 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter or anytime and win a football game. 7 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: It's amazing how close they are in all these games 8 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: so far, yet can't get over the hump when it 9 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: matters most. 10 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, you just need some more juice out of the offense. 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 2: And as you said, in a close game like this, 12 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 2: the only way the Jags win this is that you 13 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 2: turn the ball over. And with three of them, you 14 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 2: know you sometimes you put it on the ground, you're 15 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 2: able to recover it. But when they all go to 16 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: the other team, that makes it really tough to not 17 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: only stay in a game, but try to, you know, 18 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: win it. And it's the defense. I feel at times 19 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 2: they're doing their parts, but then laden games they're on 20 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: the field so much. Then laden games they get worn 21 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: down and the team late in the game will go 22 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: down and score. Happened against Tampa Bay. It happened again 23 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: in this one against Jacksonville. 24 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: Well, you look at the rushing situation eighty seven net 25 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: yards for the Texans, you know they want to do 26 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: better than that. Two hundred and four through the air, 27 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: driving at the end, try to tie the game. Couldn't 28 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: do it. What do you recommend offensively for this team 29 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: to get untracked, to get more balanced, to get on 30 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: the board more because ten points in an NFL game, 31 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: you can't do that. You got to get it. Get 32 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: that number over twenty more often than. 33 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 2: Not, Yeah, no doubt, and it usually it's the first 34 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 2: team to twenty one. And forget what the percentages are, 35 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 2: but it's seventy five to eighty percent of the games 36 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: you'll win if you just score twenty one points. That's 37 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: the benchmark in the NFL. And you can't get there, 38 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: you're gonna struggle as a team. What do they need 39 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: to do? I think the answer when they're going down 40 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 2: the field as they were the last possession is no huddle, right, 41 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: So you line up in that when you're struggling offensively, 42 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: you've got to mix some things up and shake it 43 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: up a little bit. That's what CJ wants. You give 44 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: your quarterback what he wants and let him go some 45 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: no huddle, take all the thinking out of it in 46 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 2: terms of breaking the huddle, identifying this, that and the other. 47 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: Sometimes you have to be the aggressor offensively and you 48 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: have to dictate how things are gonna go, not always 49 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 2: adjusting to what the defense does. You make them adjust 50 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: to what you're gonna do. 51 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: For CJ. Stroup, this is year three, but it's a 52 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: new system, and you always talk about that. It takes 53 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: a while to get used to a new system for 54 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: a quarterback, no matter who he is. 55 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 2: It's no doubt about it. Whenever the system changes, you 56 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: can almost go back and he is. I think he's 57 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 2: still pretty much brand new in this league because he's 58 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 2: you know, he hadn't been around, you know, ten years 59 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: or so, this Grizzly veteran. He's still a relatively young player. 60 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: So when you're that you haven't seen a lot of offenses. 61 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 2: He's seeing way more than he should have seen at 62 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 2: this point in this stage in his career. So yeah, 63 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 2: you go back almost to being a rookie again and 64 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: trying to learn the terminology, trying to learn the progressions 65 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: and reads, getting comfortable with spacing within the offense. You 66 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: can't really coach them up because you're you're still learning 67 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 2: it yourself, so you can't go get on receivers for 68 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: the spacing because you're still trying to process what's going 69 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: on on offense yourself. 70 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: The last interception pocket collapsing Stroud jarred as he was 71 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: delivering the football, got his fault. 72 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: It was tipped by Josh heinz Allen and got a 73 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,839 Speaker 2: piece of the ball as CJ was delivering it right 74 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: as it's getting ready to come out of his hand, 75 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: Alan tips it and it ends up in the air, 76 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: spinning all kinds of different ways, and then it winds 77 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: up being intercepted. This is a tough break for CJ. 78 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: Another close loss for the Houston Texans. Tennessee up next week.
