1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Three point loss for the Houston Texans. They bow in 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: another one score game, their fifth loss of the season 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: and all five one score affairs against good teams. Eighteen fifteen. 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 1: They lose to Denver. They lose their quarterback along the 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: way of the first half. CJ. Stroud out with the concussion. 6 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: Mills came in. They couldn't get it done today. They 7 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: dropped a three and five with Jacksonville coming in next week, 8 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: the Jags playing the Raiders as we speak, Drey, what 9 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 1: about the pass rush? 10 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, ATB sack report the Texans. You only had one 11 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 2: SEC in today's game and that was by Will Anderson Junior. 12 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 2: As part of Sacks for Hunger, AGB will donate one 13 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 2: thousand dollars to the Houston Food Bank every time the 14 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 2: Texans sacked the quarterback. The AHB Sack Attack. It's brought 15 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 2: to you by AGB, the official tailgate headquarters of your 16 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 2: Houston Texans. 17 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: Well, Andre, the Texans battled so hard today. The defense 18 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: played so well, they couldn't hold them forever. You had 19 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: to get a little bit more out of your offense 20 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: than all field goals. Fairbearn five for six kicking field 21 00:00:59,080 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: goals today. 22 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we talked about it coming in in 23 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: the pregame show about when you get in the red zone, 24 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 2: you gotta score touchdowns and not field goals. This game's 25 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: over if they're able to get the ball in the 26 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: end zone. The frustrating part of it is not being 27 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: able to get it in from the one yard line. 28 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: And you had a couple of situations where you were 29 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 2: faced with that and you had to settle for field goals. 30 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: Two to be exact, a penalty comes in on fourth down, 31 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 2: forces you back and now you gotta take the field goal. 32 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: That's the frustrating part. That part needs to get fixed 33 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 2: because if you're able to capitalize there, you're gonna win 34 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 2: a lot of football games. And we saw it in Seattle. 35 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 2: That's a loss, and we saw it twice in this one. 36 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 2: It turned out to be a loss. 37 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: Well, never know, if CJ. Stroud is able to stay 38 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: in this game, if the Texans would have won, I 39 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: would have liked their chances considering some of the opportunities 40 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: they did have, especially in the second half after that null, 41 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: big punt return and some of the other instances in 42 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: this one. But you worry about CJ right into next 43 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: week and if he's unable to go a full practice 44 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 1: or a week of practice with Mills that the controls 45 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: is only going to help Davis against Jacksonville next week. 46 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: If that has to be the case. 47 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you're hoping that CJ can get himself 48 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 2: or he heals up fast enough for clearest protocol to 49 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: play against Jacksonville next week. You certainly feel good about that. 50 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: But that's a team that's playing some good football at 51 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: the right time. I think they have Las Vegas today, 52 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: so I would imagine their favored to win that game, 53 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: even with it being in Las Vegas. And so you're 54 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: talking about a team that's going to come in here, 55 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: I hold if they win it feeling pretty good about 56 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 2: themselves and that they've got the ship right in and 57 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 2: they're coming to play you, to sweep you for in 58 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. 59 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: Well, you battled so well with the last time. Other 60 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: than which is a big exception, the turnovers, Texans need 61 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: to take better care of the football those situations, and 62 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: they did take care of the football today. They punted 63 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: a lot today. Tommy Townsend's leg has got to be 64 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: out after today. What'd you make of the defensive performance today? 65 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: Dre The big play of the game was that bow 66 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: next twenty five yard scrambled. That was it because that 67 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: was the difference maker getting them into scoring range at 68 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: the end. 69 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: That put them in field goal range. So you know 70 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: you're you're looking at it from that standpoint. The defense 71 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: held Bo Nixon chick. I mean they were they operated, 72 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: operated and played well. He was less than fifty percent 73 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 2: eighteen to thirty seven, didn't throw for two hundred yards 74 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: two touchdowns, but they held JK. Dobbins under one hundred yards. 75 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 2: They did their job, and you have got to find 76 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 2: a way offensively to stop kicking field goals and put 77 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: the ball on the end zone and get the extra 78 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: four points that goes along with it. 79 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 1: Eighteen fifteen, the final score at three and five, you're 80 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: by no means done. It's not where you want to 81 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: be at all, just harder. You have to get healthy 82 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: at quarterback, obviously, but if you're able to do that, 83 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: they are making progress in some key areas. Again, had 84 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: we had the full arsenal on offense throughout the game, 85 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: maybe you would have seen some of the results of 86 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: the work they've been doing, the progress they've been making. 87 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: But what do you think of that nobody's gonna quit 88 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: in this building at three and five. They still have 89 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: some opportunities here to make Hay down the stretch. With 90 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: nine games remaining in this twenty twenty five campaign. 91 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, when you start talking about those games at Tennessee, 92 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: you feel pretty good about that when we know about 93 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 2: the Jacksonville game next week. But you got some pretty 94 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 2: good teams that you still have to face. That's where 95 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: it gets dangerous. That's where people are saying, Hey, the 96 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 2: house is on fire, because the Bills are still to 97 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: play here in a couple of weeks. You have to 98 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: go to the Colts. You got to go to the Chiefs, 99 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 2: I mean those games like that, and then the Chargers 100 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 2: and Colts to finish round things out. You've got to 101 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: be perfect, almost perfect pretty much down the stretch. And 102 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: how you manage the schedule. 103 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: Real heartbreaking that you got a loss on the Colts 104 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: today with the Steelers beating them and you were on 105 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: a to get the victory, to get that much closer. 106 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: But there's a lot of season left with nine games 107 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: remaining in the campaign, and the Texans start that off 108 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: the back nine. Win the game against the Jaguars next Sunday, 109 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: noon Texans lose today eighteen fifteen to the Broncos.
