1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: What's happening and everybody, welcome into a Friday edition of 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: Texans All Access, a TGIF edition of Texans All Access. 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: Thank god it's Friday TGIF. Thank god it's football Friday. 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: Either way, I am glad that you are here with me. 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris Football and a sideline reporter 6 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 1: for your Houston Texans and preparing to go to Arizona 7 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: to take on the Cardinals. First Texans regular season game 8 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: at Arizona since twenty thirteen. Remember we go there every 9 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: eight years, and that was my last year that that year, 10 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: I was not. The very next year I was on 11 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: the sideline two thirteen, I was not. So I've not 12 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: been there for a regular season game, but I have 13 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: been there for a preseason game. In fact, my very 14 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: first game down on the sidelines was twenty fourteen preseason 15 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: against the Cardinals and it was awful. Carson Palmer just 16 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: lit up the Texans on one drive through a touchdown 17 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: to Larry Fitzgerald, and the Texans offense could do nothing. 18 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: It was baru toll, brutal. It was bad. So hopefully 19 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: Sunday is not going to head in that direction. But 20 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: two guys that were on the field both in twenty 21 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: thirteen and twenty fourteen. When the Sexton sidelines, we will 22 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: see on the other sideline, and that's gonna be very, 23 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: very difficult. I will tell you upfront, JJ Watt and 24 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. Seeing them on the other sideline is it's 25 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: it's it's it's tough. It's tough to say the least, 26 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: to see them over there. I am happy for them. 27 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: Three hundred and sixty four days a year. The one 28 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: day that they play offs, I can't be. And hopefully 29 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: we go and make them very, very angry and upset 30 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: on Sunday. That would be kind of fun. All Right, 31 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: we got a Jampack show. We're gonna he from Coach 32 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: Color here in this segment and just a little bit. 33 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: We've also are gonna have a deep Slant interview of 34 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: the week with Nico Collins. How about that the rookie 35 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: stepping in. I don't want to say against Deep City, 36 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: but she stepped He's stepping in alongside dep City. But 37 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: I know rookie step in there. I know they have fun, 38 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: but Deep people will put she will put anybody and 39 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: everybody on the spot. I've sat in that Deep Slant 40 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: chair it is. It's not easy. It's fun. It's fun, 41 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: but it's not easy. She really can hold your feet 42 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: to the fire and is really really good interviews. So 43 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 1: here from Nico Collins. Then we'll have my keys to 44 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: the game, and I'll have those for you. We will 45 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: also have Mark Ingram on twice. How about that Mark's 46 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: Ingram Drews doesn't, which, if you know Drews doesn't, Drews 47 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 1: doesn't is all really about things that are not really football. 48 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: And then we'll have here from Mark later where it 49 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: is just purely about football. We call that Drew's final word. 50 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: In between there, in between the two Ingram visits, we 51 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: will have my predictions. I pick each and every game 52 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 1: in the NFL straight up against a spread, and thus 53 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: far I'm one and oh because Thursday night I knew 54 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: Case Keenum was going to pull a rabbit out of 55 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: his hat with the Cleveland Browns. Now, I don't know 56 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: how Browns fans feel today. They gotta win. The Browns 57 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: of four and three. Case looked pretty good. I don't 58 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: think he looked great. It looked pretty good. But the 59 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: arrenest Johnston Johnson got things roll in the run game. 60 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: One hundred forty six yards, goes over one hundred yards 61 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: in his very first ever start. That is pretty amazing 62 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: for the Browns. But I would have gotten that one. 63 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: It was gonna be close, but Ny, the Browns are 64 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: gonna end up winning. Would have gotten that. How about 65 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: the other games in the NFL? I will do all 66 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: of those in our second hour. But we kick off 67 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: the show as we always do on a Friday, with 68 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: the head coach of your Houston Texans, and that is 69 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: David Culley, who sat down with Mark Van Demer earlier 70 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: to discuss this game in Arizona. Coach, Mark, takeaway, coach, 71 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: let's start with Kyler Murray. You've been around a lot 72 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: of different quarterbacks, and he's unique. He runs around, he 73 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: makes plays. He doesn't run the ball as much as 74 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: people might think. It seems very selective. Is that how 75 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: you see it? Exactly how we said, Mark, And that 76 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: it's even tougher with guys like that because a lot 77 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: of those guys, why when you get them outside of 78 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: that pocket and you know they got good, good legs 79 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: to be able to run, and they're gonna run well. 80 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: The thing about him is he's looking to pass first, 81 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: and that makes it even more dangerous because what ends 82 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: up happening when he gets in that scramble mode and 83 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: he's outside of the pocket, You've got to make sure 84 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: you stay on the guy that you're covering. If you don't, 85 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: then what ends up happening. As soon as he sees that, 86 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: you think he's getting ready to run, and then the 87 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: next thing you know, he's letting that ball go to 88 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: a guy down the field for a big game because 89 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: he's gotten out of the pocketing and extended to play. 90 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: But he's unique that a way. Well, they seem very 91 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: balanced in the past catching department. Everybody talks about Hopkins, 92 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: but he's tied for the team lead with two other players. 93 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: There's another one two receptions back, So there's a lot 94 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: of balance in the way they distribute the football. They 95 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: do a great job of distributing it, as you said. 96 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: And the thing about it is they play a lot 97 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: of four and five wides and they spread you out, 98 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: and basically what they do is in that offense, they 99 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: take what you give them. You take somebody away, then 100 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: obviously that thing is going to go to somebody, and 101 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of double teams going on when 102 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: they spread you out. Like they do. And basically what 103 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: that does is they make you cover the whole field 104 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: because that ball could go outside, it could go inside, 105 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: and it really doesn't matter who's inside or outside, or 106 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: whether it's a receiver, whether it's a back or a 107 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: tight end. They do a great job of distribing that 108 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: ball and making you play the entire field. What about 109 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: the challenges and facing them when they're on defense and 110 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: I know you want to run the football, So how 111 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: difficult is that going to be? Well, you know, they've 112 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: got a pretty good front right there, obviously a guy 113 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: that we know very well, and then another guy on 114 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: the other side of that is pretty good player also too, 115 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: So you know, basically the challenge is that we've got 116 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: to make sure that we're balanced. We've got to be 117 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: able to, first and foremost, be able to get our 118 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: running game going and be able to if it's not 119 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: working like it needs to be worked. Is to be 120 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: able to take the ball and be consistent and get 121 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: completions in the past game and basically when we're running 122 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: it well, Mark, it allows us to be a little 123 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: bit more consistent doing that, but we're going to still 124 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: try to do that. However you put it together, you 125 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: do have the element of surprise and the return game 126 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: kickoff returns, punt returns with a new player back there 127 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: and whatever corrections you've been able to make, well we do, 128 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: especially with Tremond and Desmond back there. What ends up 129 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: happening is now you get some guys back there that 130 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: they haven't been able to actually see. But we know 131 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: Desmond obviously had some preseason work, Tremaine has had some 132 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: work with in the past from where he came from, 133 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: and you know, we feel like making the change and 134 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: whatnot and going the direction that we're going right now 135 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: that we'll get a little bit more juice back there 136 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: and basically just get a little bit more life and 137 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: get some return yardage that we haven't been able to 138 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: get to this point. Does it help Davis and the 139 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: passing game? The fact that you've been on the road 140 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: a bunch now, and this is back to back weeks, 141 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: You've been in a lot of different environments so far, 142 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: at least several it does. And you know, basically he's 143 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: had about half the games on the road, half at home, 144 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: and so now I think it's to the point now 145 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: where whether we're planning on the road or plan at home. 146 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: It's really no different for him other than the crowd noise, 147 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: which we practice with crowd noise and during practice. I 148 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: don't think it would make any difference with him. All right, Coach, 149 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: thanks a lot for joining us. Good luck, you welcome Mark. 150 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: All right, big thanks to coach Culley for stepping in 151 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: sharing a few minutes with Mark about this one. All right, 152 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: let's get to the most important document that comes out 153 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: pretty much all week. I mean, we get a bunch 154 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: of them, but I would imagine this one is probably 155 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: the most important because it tells you who's playing, who's out, 156 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: who's questionable, who's doubtful, although don't see many doubtfuls anymore. 157 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: The teams just say a guys out and he's out. 158 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: So let's take a look for your Texans. One guy 159 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: is out and this is ja gut punch because Julie 160 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: Johnson has been playing some pretty good football ever since 161 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: Vincent Taylor got hurt and Julil came back to the team, 162 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: Jolie has played some pretty good football. He is the 163 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: only Texan out of this one. Limited participants today in practice, 164 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: justin britt Nico Collins, who you'll hear from a little 165 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: Bit and Chris Conley. Those three were questionable. Now, I 166 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: think last week Justin was questionable. He was questionable, and 167 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: then we got a notice Regismery taken off that he 168 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: didn't make the trip and so he was going to 169 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: be out of the game against Indianapolis. What I also 170 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: remember about last week was that Justin I don't believe 171 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: I saw practice at all last week. He has been 172 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: a limited participant the last couple of days with a 173 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: knee injury. In fact, I think I saw him walking 174 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: out today in full garb. So I'd like to think 175 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: that's a good sign, but you just you never know. 176 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: You really don't. Now. Chris Conley dirty game against the Colts, 177 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: had a neck issue, but he ended up going back 178 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: in the game after, which is interesting because I got 179 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: to notice that he was questionable, and right at that 180 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: time it looked out he was going out for a 181 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 1: kickoff return. So and again with injuries, you never know. 182 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 1: Things can act up during a game, they can act 183 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: up during a week, They can be aggravated during a week. 184 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: But as of now, Justin, britt Nico Collins, Chris Conley 185 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: all three questionable. However, the good news is that Daniel 186 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: Mendola deal with a thigh issue that has shelled him 187 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: since the Cleveland game that was Week two. There is 188 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: no status next to his name that means he is in, thankfully, 189 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: so Jalil Johnson out. We will keep our eyes on 190 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: Justin britt Nico Collins, Chris Conley because those three are 191 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: questionable for the Cardinals tight end Darryl Daniels hamstring out 192 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: and starting defensive lineman Richardlawrence deal with a calf issue. 193 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: He is also out. The Cardinals are not a big defense. 194 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: It is all about quickness, disruption. Their linebackers can all fly, 195 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: but they're all I think at some point we're probably 196 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: former safeties before maybe their final years in college. Saving 197 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: Collins was you know, he's two sixty, but I think 198 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: before that, you know, he was a high school quarterback. 199 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: I mean, anyhow, the Cardinals are not built on size. 200 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: With Chard Lawrence is one of the biggest guys they 201 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 1: have on that particular defense. So Darryl Daniels out, with 202 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: Schard Lawrence out questionable. Jordan Hicks, Devin Cannard Tanner of 203 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: Ayejo deal with a hand. Now, Jordan Hicks had not 204 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry he had not been participating in practice deal 205 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: with a tone and ankle. He did practice on limited 206 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: capacity today, but he is still listed as questionable. Devid 207 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: Canard is a solid pass rusher, He's questionable. Vallejo also questionable. 208 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: Full participants Calvin Beecham starting tackles, Avid Collins, rookie linebacker, 209 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds, the starting running back, Leakey Foe two, he's 210 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: probably he is the biggest guy on at roster. Dennis 211 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: Gardeck a very good pass rusher, and Justin pew Deal 212 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: the back. He's a starting guard. So Cardinals I would 213 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: say relatively healthy at this time of year. Keim and 214 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: Iras Shard Lawrence really I would say one of their 215 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: two or three guys with some size on this defense. 216 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: So that is gonna be worth the watch and this 217 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: Cardinals team, and we'll talk about this in our KISA. 218 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: The game not excellent, stopping the run not great, not 219 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,599 Speaker 1: like some of the teams the Texans have faced this 220 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: year stopping the run. Then again, my Texans are not 221 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: the greatest running the football this year, so something to 222 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: give on that side. Hopefully it Texans can start to 223 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: control the game on the ground a little bit and 224 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: keep Kyle, the Murray Hop, and the rest of them 225 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: on that sideline. But that's the way it sits right 226 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: now now. One name I did not mention is Ross Blacklock. 227 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: He is not listed. He came off COVID nineteen. He 228 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 1: came off that list. There was a release that came 229 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: out from the team earlier this week. I don't know 230 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 1: which day it was. I just remember reading it and 231 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: talking you say, it's probably a Monday or Wednesday. Either way, 232 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: Ross Blacklock is in. And I know there was a 233 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: tweet that came out at some point saying that, well, 234 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: we didn't see him at practice, and that's because the 235 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: practice is sort of, I don't say disjointed, but it's separated. 236 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: They come out the first groups come out of their 237 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: special teams groups, while the O and D lines and 238 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: guys that aren't special teams they kind of go through 239 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: the activation period, so they kind of split it up, 240 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: so it's kind of a rolling part of practice, so 241 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: that offense defense line aren't really sitting around. They hold 242 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: special teams. Guys go get after it. Then they joined 243 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: the rest of the team after that and they rock 244 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: from there. So Ross at practice folk to spend practice 245 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: hoping he can play, and again coming off COVID nineteen. Look, 246 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: it's hard to say whether a guy can be ready 247 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: to go. How how badly Ross was impacted by COVID nineteen, No, 248 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: no one knows, so we'll find that out on Sunday. 249 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: But the fact that he's not listed on any of 250 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: these lists give some hope that Ross Blacklock could be 251 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: ready to go. And we're gonna definitely need that guy 252 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: the way that he was playing before COVID hit him, 253 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: We're definitely going to need him very very soon, So 254 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: hopefully he'll be ready to go. So there it is, 255 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: Julil Johnson out, Britt Collins, Conny questionable for the Cardinals, 256 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: Daniels and Lawrence out questionable, Hicks, Kinnard, and Valajo. Okay, 257 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 1: that we'll do it now. One of the guys that 258 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: ended up on the questionable list is Nico Collins. Hopefully, 259 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: even though he's dealing with a foot issue, hopefully he 260 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: is going to be ready to play. He was definitely 261 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: ready to sit down with Dbcity for a deep interview 262 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: the week that is next right here on Texans All Access. 263 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: Ess What's up, everybody?

Now, I've never done the second 274 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: dessert thing, but I definitely have done cheese Kurds slash 275 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: turtle Concrete. I have done that more being together as 276 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: much as we can with seventeen area locations right here 277 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: in Houston.

Now, 282 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if Dpcity and Nico Collins are big 283 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: fans of Freddie's. I mean you've seen both of them. Mean, 284 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: they're skinny as can be, so probably not. You look 285 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: at me and you're like, oh, yeah, you've had a 286 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: few burghers before, no doubt. But I know dpcity and 287 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: Eco Collins had a really fun time sitting down for 288 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: the deep Interview of the week. So here we go 289 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: the rookie from Alabama who went to Michigan. We found 290 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: out more about that story right here with dpcity and 291 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: Nico Collins. It's a deep slant one one presented by 292 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: Xfinity my guest y wide receiver Nico Collins. Nico, I 293 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to talk to you yet, so 294 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: first of all, welcome back to the field. I'm sure 295 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: it feels good to be back up there playing. It 296 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: feels great, man, just to be out there with my 297 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: teammates competing on Sunday. Man, just getting that feeling again. 298 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: You know, this is glad to be great glad. Yeah, 299 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: David Colley said that you added a little bit of 300 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: a spark in your first game back. So you know, 301 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: obviously you don't want to be on IR you're work 302 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: the year, but you were, and you're already off again. 303 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: So what were those what were those three weeks like 304 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: for you? You know, it was it was really it's 305 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: pretty rough. I got hurt Cleveland game first play, man, 306 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: you know that. I feel like that that really set 307 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: me back. So every day it was kind of a 308 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: mental thing, mentally locked in in the mean rooms even 309 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: doing practice, you know, even I'm not getting to the 310 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: physical reps. You know, I had to lock in mentally, 311 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: you know, act like I'm really getting the game rep. 312 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: So it was it was more a mental thing for me. Um, 313 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: but I feel like I did a pretty good job 314 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: doing that, you know, massion. I was standing engage, make 315 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: sure I'm not getting behind plays or new formation to 316 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: anything Coach Kelly put in anything like that, you know. 317 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: But um, I did feel like I did pretty good. 318 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: You know. I r you know, I hopefully I'm not 319 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: back on that thing you no more because it was 320 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: the Deva state. No, but nobody wants to see you 321 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: back on there a getting Tim Kelly actually said that 322 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: you looked like you hadn't missed a beat. And when 323 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: you've made that catch at Cleveland, Tyrod Taylor was the 324 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: starting quarterback and you come back in and it's Davis Mills. 325 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: So you haven't missed a beat. The quarterbacks changed. You 326 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,239 Speaker 1: know what has that transition been like for you? Um, 327 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: you know it's but I get both RELs with Davis 328 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: and Tyrode, you know. So, I mean I feel like 329 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: when I went in first game back was Indie. You know, 330 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: we came back that week, you know, I feel like 331 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: we had the connection because we you know, those rails 332 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: during camp and you know OTAs you know, and just 333 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: every day doing practice. No Russell in there. You know, 334 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 1: they switched doing quarterbacks rotation, you know, so it really 335 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: don't matter who I go with. You know, we all 336 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: get in the time and right you know on the routes. 337 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: I have, so just things like that, you know, So 338 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: going coming back Indie game, you know, make sure my 339 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: connection was good with Davis. You know it wasn't it 340 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: feel like you know rossellon there, you know, just like practice. Yeah, 341 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: it did seem like in training camp you guys had 342 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: a great chemistry going you and Davis, so you you 343 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: were getting a lot of passes from him. Did it 344 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 1: feel like writing a bike just sort of getting back 345 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: there and getting your timing back again? Yes? Absolutely, you know, 346 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: just like practice. You know, running routes. You know, it's 347 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: make sure the timing right once you make sure he 348 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: putting it right there on my chest, you know, just 349 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: pitch and catch, you know. So that was made sure. 350 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: You know that we got that done on Sunday. All right. 351 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: So Brandon Cooks had been asked about you quite a 352 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: bit during training camp for this offseason, and he said 353 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: that you did not look like a rookie to him. 354 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: He said, he made be a rookie, but doesn't look 355 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,959 Speaker 1: like a rookie to me. So what sort of steady 356 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: are you? Are you like one that watches a lot 357 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,719 Speaker 1: of film. Are you the type that you get out 358 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: there once and you do it and you get it right? 359 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: What is your preparation, what's your process? Like? What made 360 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: it so easy for you to make that transition this 361 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: off season? Yeah? So I said, the best way I 362 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: learned actually going out there and physically doing it. You know. 363 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: So for example, say we put in a new install, 364 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: you know, I see it, write it down, and then 365 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: the best way I'll understand it's going out there hearing 366 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: it and going you lined up, actually going through the 367 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: footstep the foot where in the time with the quarterbacks 368 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: just getting is having cooks in the room, just the 369 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: leadership he brings there. You know, I learned a lot 370 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: from him since day when I got here. Man, you know, 371 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: he always been there for me, you know, always in 372 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: my ear. You know, whatever question I have, anything, you know, 373 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: he's always there to give me advice before I asked 374 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: him a question about a cornerback or just like releases. 375 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: You know, he always there for me, you know, no 376 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: matter what you know. And and I really appreciate him, 377 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: all right. Coming from Michigan, you had some familiarity with 378 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: Pep Hamilton and Ben McDaniels, so I know they Pep 379 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: coaches quarterbacks, and you know he's not your receivers coach. 380 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: But how much to help having coaches that knew you 381 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: from Michigan and you got here and you had some 382 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: familiar faces. Does that help a lot? A lot? It does? 383 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: It does help a lot, you know. Luckily, you know, 384 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: I came here and it was here, you know, so 385 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: they was there with me when I first came to Michigan. Mom, 386 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: I think my first two years then coach Pep end 387 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: Up you know, leaving, but I think McDaniels, coach McDaniels 388 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,719 Speaker 1: still there you know, just having them there here with me, Um, 389 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,719 Speaker 1: I feel like it's it's very helpful. You know, familiar faces. 390 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: You know, it's not coming to a new environment, new scene, 391 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: you know, different level, you know, a whole munch of 392 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: new faces. You know, it was that I knew, you know. 393 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: So I'm very grateful that they here and they still 394 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: coach me hard as always. You know, nothing changed, nothing's changed, 395 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: all right. So you went to Michigan, but you're from Birmingham, Alabama, 396 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: and I was reading that Nick Saban actually offered you 397 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,959 Speaker 1: a scholarship as a sophomore in high school. How did 398 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: that go? So he just showed up at your high 399 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: school and offered you a scholarship. Yeah, so, now this 400 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: is what happened. I got to offer from Southern Miss 401 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: that day. I still remember. So I got to offer 402 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: from Southern Miss. You're a sophomore in high school. Sophomore 403 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: high school. So I was it was last period, I 404 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: was working out, and so my coach, head coach, coach Hood, 405 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: he called me to the office and he said Nick 406 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: Saban on the phone.

You know, 416 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: So that one. I don't blessed for that one, you know, 417 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: because he being so young and tenth grade, you know, 418 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: that's about to be my first year varsity, and he 419 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: offered me a scholarship. You know, it's just amazing because 420 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: not many people get the opportunity, you know, so it 421 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: was a blessing for sure. And then um, that next 422 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: day Arburn offered me. So it was kind of like 423 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: a rivalry.

It's pretty amazing. Nick Saban 428 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: caused you up as a sophomore high school but you 429 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: said no to him. So you really you really wanted 430 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: to go to Michigan. And I read somewhere that you 431 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: were you were doing the opposite. You were trying to 432 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: recruit Michigan to take you on. Did you send them 433 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: film of how did that process go for you? Get 434 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: Michigan interested in you? So? Actually, so actually I went 435 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: to a camp in Michigan. It was I think they're 436 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: hosting like a like just a regular camp, you know, 437 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: So I went there for a visit actually, and then 438 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 1: I end up being in the camp. So, um, the camp, 439 00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: they just wanted me to run a couple of rouses. 440 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: He you know, how run move you know, things like 441 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: that Marball you know, from your scholarship right after the 442 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: camp and you know, I was blessed for that. And 443 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: then it's just he just the way he's been, you know, 444 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: locked in and engaged, you know, through my recruitment. You know, 445 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: he never you know, just offered me a scholarship and 446 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: then it's like disappear. You know, he made sure, you know, 447 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: how I was doing high school, was going to you know, 448 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,959 Speaker 1: make sure you know, he going to be there in Michigan. 449 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: And I feel like my senior year that was that 450 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: was the best move for me. So is that? What 451 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: is that? What won you over? Ultimately was just the 452 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: the interaction that you had with Jim harm And then 453 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: he ended up coming down for a visit. Um, he 454 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: actually came to a home visit, you know, Um, you know, 455 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: he came in like he lived there. You know, he 456 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: came in, took his shoes off, you know, got an aftable, 457 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: you know, just sitting in your house. Yeah. And once 458 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: I saw that, I was like, yeah, you know, that's impressive. 459 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: So when you're in high school to have a head 460 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: coach of a program coming sit in your house like that, Yes, ma'am. 461 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: And then just just the way he's engaged my parents 462 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: and parents loved them, I loved them, you know. Just 463 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,239 Speaker 1: then interaction, man, just with everybody was amazing. So when 464 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: I started this job, Jim Harball was the head coach 465 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: of the forty nine ers because when I was growing 466 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: up in Indianapolis, he was the starting quarterback for the 467 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. So I'm a little bit fascinated with Jim 468 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: Harball in his entire career. He's a character. Do you 469 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: have any good hardball stories? What's your best hardball story 470 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: best hardball story.

His T shirt, socks, hat, glasses. 477 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: I'm talking about, like he just took it off and 478 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: just jumped in. You know, it was kind of like 479 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: he took off his clothes and jumped on the pool.

Yeah, so how how did that happen? 496 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: How how were you ranked? And what were you really 497 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 1: good at? Um So, I feel in a little basketball 498 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: pretty early. Um I say, basketball is my first board. 499 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: I fell in love with play up until my senior 500 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 1: in high school. Um So, I played AU a lot. 501 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: I'm trying to maintain between AU and football, sure, but 502 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: it was it was hard, you know, just being in 503 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: the weight room and going to the court trying to 504 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: dribble and losing the ball, you losing your touch, So 505 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 1: it was it was it was pretty hard to balance. 506 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: And my football end up, my football career ended up 507 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: taking off like recruiting, so I wasn't getting a heavily 508 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: recruiting in basketball, but I had a couple of looks. 509 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: Um So, that's that's kind of where football kind of 510 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: you know, took off from there. But um I played 511 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: shoot guard, point, what else I was the I was 512 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: played four also, but I could do it all you 513 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: could do it all. How tall were you? How when 514 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: did you hit your full height? You're like, what six four? Yeah? 515 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: I said, I always been tall. I always been the 516 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: tallest in my class. Okay, so oh, I'd say I 517 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: always been about six four sixty three in high school. Yeah, okay, yeah, 518 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: you're probably pretty dominant basketball player. Yeah. I was pretty 519 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: tall in high school. You know. I always been the 520 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: tallest late, no matter what great I was in. All right. 521 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: I was reading about your weight because when you started 522 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: college you were about well, you were under two hundred 523 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: when you started college, but then you went up. Yes. Man. 524 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I was going to college and 525 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: I ended up being two fifteen sophomore year, and then 526 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: my junior year I ended up being two thirty two thirty. Okay, 527 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: So I was going to ask you, was that by 528 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: design or how did that? Ma'a? I'm so um. I 529 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: was playing my whole sophomore year and what by ladder 530 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: hernie hernius? So um the end of my sophomore year, 531 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: I end up getting a repair okay, and um, so 532 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: I missed the entire spring ball, entire be getting to camp, 533 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: you know, because due to my hernius, I couldn't run, 534 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: I couldn't anything, so you know, I was eating bad, 535 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: you know, and just working out. So and then called 536 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: up to me when I was able to return to 537 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: the team. You know, I was overweight, out of shape, 538 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: you know. So I feel that was a huge mistake 539 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: on my part, you know, not being you know, locked 540 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: in doing the you know, covering process. So yes, I 541 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 1: played my junior year two thirty five to thirty stayed that. Yeah, 542 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: I played at it, yes, ma'am. And then um came 543 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: back for my senior year. And that's why I had 544 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: tightened up and you know, make sure what I ate 545 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: was correctly and right because people were impressed with you. 546 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: People impressed with you the Senior Bowl because you would 547 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: trim down, you were faster, you were lighter. How did 548 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: you How did you lose the weight? I just watched 549 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: what I ate, So easy, so easy when you're in 550 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 1: college and just watch what you eat, it up comes 551 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: off all right. So you seem like a pretty laid 552 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: back guy, But I feel like most wide receivers have 553 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: got like a good, really good diva quality about them. 554 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: What's your what's your diva quality? Like like like you, No, 555 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: I'm sure you're not, but you know, like what you 556 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: like your shoes or you don't like your food touching 557 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: on your plate, Like there's gotta be something that you're 558 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: kind of particular about. Um, let me see the way 559 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: I lace my shoes, okay, I like, so it depends 560 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: on kind of shoes outwear. So fancies if I wear 561 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: some Joran ones, I like, like I like to have 562 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,199 Speaker 1: the laces hang, okay, or I like to take them 563 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: out and um the first hoop and time and the 564 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: second one.

So it's just like I 567 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: can't hide you never hide the laces. I like to 568 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: hide the laces sometimes because I feel like I want 569 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: to see the shoes, not in the Jordans, but like 570 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: other shoes. Okay, yeah, other shoes, other shoes. Sometimes you 571 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: want to see the shoe. You don't want to the 572 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: laces you can't hide. So you're a little bit so 573 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: just the laces. That's it. That's the best we're gonna 574 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: get out of your Really, you're really pretty laid back otherwise.

Welcome back to the show. I'm your host, 631 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: John Harris, football analyst, sidebott reporter for your Houston Texans, 632 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,239 Speaker 1: and it is time for my Keys to the Game. Now. 633 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: I know that sounds sort of self serving in some sense, 634 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: and it's not meant to be that. It's just meant 635 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: to say, I came up with these, so if you 636 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: don't like them, then you can take issue with me 637 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: as opposed to like somebody else. And now I'm not 638 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: reading somebody else's. So it's the Arizona Cardinals, six and ozho. 639 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: They have won four of the first six on the road. 640 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: In fact, they have won by double digits on the 641 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: road for their four games, one by twenty five, one 642 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: by twelve, one by seventeen, and last week they beat 643 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: the Browns by twenty three. At home they've won by 644 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: one and seven. So I don't know, maybe there's maybe 645 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: there's something there. Here's the facts, though. Cardinals are six 646 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: and oh and very very good. So let's start with 647 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: how to stop this Cardinal's offense? What are the keys 648 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: against this Cardinals offense? And I know, as you're sitting there, 649 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: you're going, oh, I know you gotta stop Hop. Well, yes, 650 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: but the things that Hop does, nobody can stop those. 651 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: Nobody nobody can. I mean the way he makes catches, 652 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: how he makes catches those But there is one key 653 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: as it pertains Deander Hockins, And we will get there 654 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: in a second. It's a group that's rushing for one 655 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one yards per game, that's sixty the NFL. 656 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: They're throwing for two seventy two that's ninth in the NFL. 657 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: Total offense or over four hundred yards four or three 658 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: yards per game that's seventh overall. So they're top ten 659 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: in those three categories, top nine in those three categories. 660 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: They've only lost five turnovers, four interceptions for Kyler Murray, 661 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: one fumble lost. This is a team playing clean, as 662 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: a team playing efficiently. They've got a lot of different 663 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: things that they do. So let's get to the keys, 664 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: and it starts with number one, and that's Kyler Murray. 665 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: Now I found out. I think I've known this and 666 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: that's why I did it. But I did my daily 667 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: brew this morning, and I do I was doing buy 668 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: the numbers for my daily Brew, and one of the 669 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: things I realized, like, wait a second, Kyler Murray didn't 670 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: lose a game in high school. He was forty three 671 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: and oh he won three state championships at Alan High School. 672 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: Then when he went to A and M then to Oklahoma, 673 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: he was oh, wow, who did he lose to? From 674 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: the state of Texas. Okay, Well, he lost the twenty 675 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: eighteen red River shootout. It was a red River rivalry. 676 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: Excuse me, red River shootout. Red River rivalry. I don't care. 677 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: Red River rivalry is really ver hib take. So I 678 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: said red River shootout because I'm old school lost that 679 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. But did he lose to anybody else from Texas? Now, Okay, 680 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: he hasn't played the Texans. Had he beaten the Cowboys? Yes? 681 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: He is forty eight and one in starts against an 682 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: eighteen from Texas High school college pro forty eight and 683 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: freaking one. And one of the main reasons, and what 684 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: got me thinking about that, and one of the main 685 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: reasons that he's so difficult to stop, is his ability 686 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: to extend plays. We watch him. He didn't run the 687 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: forty when he was coming out of college. He didn't 688 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: run it. I don't know why he just didn't do it. 689 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: I guess this stop process was if you watch me 690 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: on film and don't think I'm fast, and I can't 691 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 1: help you, and he's probably right. You could tell how 692 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: fast he was. But he is the fastest guy in 693 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: the field. He's got a laser arm, so he can 694 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: make throws and throw into tight spots he's got a 695 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: strong arm, so he can throw it all the way 696 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: down the field. He's got all the different things that 697 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: you want in a quarterback. He's just five nine, but 698 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,879 Speaker 1: that's good and bad for the Cardinals. The good part 699 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: is he extends plays and that's got to be something 700 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 1: that Texans takeaway. That's not easy because the way the 701 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: Cardinals protect up front, they force outside rushers to make 702 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: a decision are you gonna rush high? Because if you 703 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,919 Speaker 1: rush high and go try and go around that way, 704 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: Kyler's gonna step up, step out, And now you're in 705 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: a world a hurt because now your linebackers are going 706 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: to side. Dang it, do I go tackle him? Or 707 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: is he gonna throw it to the guy that I'm 708 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 1: leaving behind. So your pass rush has to be pristine. 709 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: This might not be a week where you get a 710 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: bunch of sacks rushing just four guys. Somebody's gonna step 711 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 1: out of a lane. And I'm not saying that just 712 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: because it's a text to him. It's everybody. Everybody that rushes. 713 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: Everybody steps out of the lane. There just trying. Man, 714 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try this. I'm gonna try this. They're working 715 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,319 Speaker 1: all kinds of moves and before you know it, you're 716 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: rushing to the left when you should have been rushing 717 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,240 Speaker 1: to the right and Kyle's escaping out of the pocket. 718 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: And a great example that was against the Browns last 719 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: week where he threw a touchdown to Christian Kirk and 720 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: it was just one of those where the defensive end 721 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: of the right rushed high up the field. Kyler was 722 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: able to step in, buy himself a little bit of 723 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 1: time conn leak out to the left and that was 724 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: enough time for him to find Christian Kirk for a touchdown. 725 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,320 Speaker 1: So the good part is that for the Cardinals. The 726 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: bad part is because he's five nine. If you keep 727 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,399 Speaker 1: him in the well, I don't know what he can see. 728 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:07,800 Speaker 1: And that's what you have to be able to do. 729 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 1: You have to be able to keep him in the 730 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 1: wealth for as long as possible. Now, I gonna sit 731 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,360 Speaker 1: here and tell you it's easy. No, but doesn't have 732 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: to be done. Yes, number two. Hop Now, like I 733 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: said earlier, he's as good as it gets in every 734 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 1: facet that you can think of for a receiver. But 735 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: the one thing the Texans have to be able to 736 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: take away from him, and it's the one thing I 737 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: think that is possible to take away, and that is 738 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: his catching runability. I always felt like Hop was completely 739 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,799 Speaker 1: and totally underrated as it pertained to his catching runability. 740 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: Last week against the Browns, he made five guys miss 741 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: at about the seven eight yard lines, Like it was 742 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 1: like slallowing around guys, like, who don't we turned this way? 743 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: It turned out we spawned he did it. I mean, 744 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: I mean, who does remember Hop spins? I mean he 745 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: is as difficult to tackle the open field, but that's 746 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: about the one spot where the Texans can slow him down. 747 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,400 Speaker 1: Him toe tapping on the sidelines, him going up over 748 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 1: defensive back. Those are all things. I mean you can't 749 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: defense those things, but you can defend him running after 750 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: the catch, and that's what you gotta try and do. 751 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: Number three I called twins Christian Kirk and Rondelle Moore. 752 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: These two guys have added so much to this offense. 753 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: I think Christian Kirk flies well under the radar, and 754 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: Rondel Morris come in and given him a kickstart because 755 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: he is dynamic. Whether they run jet sweep, where they 756 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: run push passes, where they run him down the field 757 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: on stop thigs, these two together are a huge problem, 758 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: and they use them accommodation like they did last week 759 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: against the Cleveland Browns. Underrated. This is one of my 760 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: favorite running backs in the league is Chase Edmonds, and 761 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,799 Speaker 1: back when he was coming out of the draft about 762 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: three or four years ago. There's always this time in 763 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: draft period where I'm like, you know what, I've seen, 764 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 1: all the guys I've seen, I'm just tired. I want 765 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 1: to see something different. And so I then kind of 766 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: moved to my list of players that come from FCS 767 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,399 Speaker 1: schools that division you know, one, Double as two, Division three. 768 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: I started going to those level schools and so I 769 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: had heard about this running back from Fordham. I'm like, 770 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna check him out. And I turned 771 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,240 Speaker 1: him on and two plays in, I'm like, Wow, Holy smokes, 772 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: this dude is good. This guy's fantastic. He's a problem 773 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 1: third down play. The other day on the first drive 774 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 1: against the Browns, he just darts through, big game kickstarts 775 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: that team. And he's not a diva running back. I mean, 776 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: he doesn't need to be fed twenty five times. In fact, 777 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: he's better with less carries because you also give the 778 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: ball to James Connor. But I think Chase Edmonds is 779 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: a massive problem. Number five is actually more Texans thing. 780 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 1: And I said this to Mark during a break the 781 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: other day. If you're gonna do simple, you better do 782 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 1: simple exceedingly well. And it's not as if the game 783 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: of football is a simple game. But I think Lovey 784 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: Smith has always been we're gonna take what we do 785 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: and we're gonna master and that's how we're gonna beat you. Well. 786 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: To do those things, you have to have I discipline, 787 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 1: You have to be disciplined and everything you do. You 788 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 1: have to tackle well, you have to play aggressively, you 789 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: have to win the line of scripts. There are things 790 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:13,799 Speaker 1: that you have to be able to do. So if 791 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 1: you're going to do quote unquote simple, you better do 792 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,240 Speaker 1: it sensationally well. All right, Flip it over to the defense. 793 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,399 Speaker 1: The Cardinals defense is given up one hundred and twenty 794 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: eight yards a game on the ground. That's twenty fourth 795 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Keep that in mind, two hundred and 796 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: fifteen yards a game through the air. That's six and 797 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: overall three hundred forty two point eight yards per game. 798 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: That's tense, so pretty good through the air overall. But 799 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 1: on the ground, maybe that might be something. I know 800 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: that Texas have wanted, wanted to get there. They just 801 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 1: haven't gotten there quite yet. But here's the biggie oh boy. 802 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 1: Thirteen takeaways, six interceptions, seven fumble recoveries. The Cardinals are 803 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 1: plus eight and turnover margin. They're not killing themselves and 804 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 1: then they're taking the ball away. So keys to going 805 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 1: against this group. Number one, the golden ticket, Yeah it's 806 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: Marcus Golden. Yeah, he thought he was gonna start with JJ. 807 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 1: I'll get there, the golden taking. Marcus Golden is one 808 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,359 Speaker 1: of the more underrated pass rushers I think in the league. 809 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: He's kind of bounced around. He started with the Cardinals, 810 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,719 Speaker 1: then he went to the Giants, took some money, came 811 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 1: back to the Cardinals, and I think he's even better now. 812 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: And because there's such a focus on JJ and on 813 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, Marcus Golden is the guy that kind of 814 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: flies on the radar screen and then he just tears 815 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 1: people up forty four. Gotta handle him, there's no question. 816 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: Number two. The linebackers that these guys have are like safeties. 817 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: They are very difficult to account for. Isaiah Simmons was 818 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,400 Speaker 1: a safety at Clemson, but then he was a d 819 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 1: n he was linebacker. He was a strong safe. He's 820 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: free safety. He's a corner reading at all. He's now 821 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: locked in a linebacker. But that's like it's a safety, 822 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: a guy with safety speed playing linebacker next to a 823 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 1: guy he's two hundred and sixty pounds who's a rookie 824 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: who runs just as well as anybody and plays linebacker. 825 00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:02,360 Speaker 1: And there's Jordan Hicks, although questionable, who is extremely fast, 826 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,840 Speaker 1: quick and aggressive to the football. These linebackers are a 827 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,719 Speaker 1: problem now. They are super aggressive. Can you use that 828 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,359 Speaker 1: against them? That's got to be a key number three, 829 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: the Buddha says. So that's Buddha Baker quite frankly, quite frankly, 830 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: he's one of the top three safeties in the league. 831 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,240 Speaker 1: He may I look at and talking to Nick concerning 832 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 1: this week is very interesting because Nick was like, I 833 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,439 Speaker 1: don't care if big that dude he is. That dude 834 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: is a flat run baller, And I agree Totry. I'd 835 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,400 Speaker 1: love to come out on Washington. I wanted him here 836 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,320 Speaker 1: with Houston. He is just fearless. He is great against 837 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: them run, he covers a ton of ground, he can 838 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 1: play deep, he can play another box. He can do everything. 839 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 1: Budda Baker is fantastic. Number four. Well that's JJ Watt 840 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,400 Speaker 1: I need to say anymore. Is he playing at a 841 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 1: level that he was last year? Yes, numbers aren't all 842 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: the way there, but that's never I mean JJ has 843 00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,879 Speaker 1: always posted great numbers, but JJ, every game that he's 844 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:05,800 Speaker 1: in and they've got to got to got to account 845 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: for ninety nine, which will lead to number five. And 846 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:13,320 Speaker 1: that's comfortability part five for Davis Mills. It's imperative the 847 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:17,719 Speaker 1: Texans get Davis comfortable early and then keep him comfortable 848 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 1: throughout the game. So there you go. Thore's your keys 849 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,440 Speaker 1: of the game against the Arizona Cardinals.

It's 915 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 1: it's always the happy play. It's never had any cast 916 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,440 Speaker 1: role left over when I'll leave a building. Yeah, Like 917 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: it was a situation where if if you're listener watching 918 00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 1: where I had to be in a my office and 919 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,760 Speaker 1: you were you had you were clearly were like getting 920 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 1: into the meeting, so like I couldn't keep talking, but 921 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,879 Speaker 1: it was we're both kind of quiet, and we're both 922 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,360 Speaker 1: I think there there's a little bit of grogginess, you know, 923 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 1: because it was in the morning.

You know Frozen. The girls 1016 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 1: love Frozen, but this one. You know, she's still young, 1017 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:18,960 Speaker 1: so I don't think she knows, but we know she 1018 00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,760 Speaker 1: likes the movie Home on Netflix, and it's like the booth, 1019 00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: the booths, that's what they the little alien thing they're 1020 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 1: called booth. And so maybe she has a boo or 1021 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,439 Speaker 1: a home theme, because that's one thing that she really 1022 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,640 Speaker 1: does love. She says, I want to watch Booth. I 1023 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,800 Speaker 1: want to watch Booth. I want to watch Booth and 1024 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,320 Speaker 1: The movie is called Home on Netflix. But it's a 1025 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 1: good movie, and my baby girl loves it. It's the 1026 00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,319 Speaker 1: only thing that she'll sit there and literally just sit 1027 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,040 Speaker 1: on the couch from watching. She'll be good, she won't 1028 00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 1: make noise, she won't cause havy, she won't cause commotion. 1029 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 1: She'll just sit there and watch them Booth. Those shows 1030 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 1: are rare for that age and can't get she won't watch. 1031 00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:55,360 Speaker 1: She nothing keeps her attention long enough. She's down, she's 1032 00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,360 Speaker 1: running around, she's messing with her sisters or brother, but 1033 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 1: this one just keeps her locked in and she wants 1034 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,239 Speaker 1: to watch it all the time. Man, whenever stuff is 1035 00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,960 Speaker 1: crazy and hectic and she's tripping, I just turn on 1036 00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:12,520 Speaker 1: Home and she watches Booth. Yeah, so it's great. That's great. 1037 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,400 Speaker 1: Back a little bit to soccer. So I like soccer, 1038 00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 1: you know. I I was lucky enough. I got to 1039 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,360 Speaker 1: study in the country Spain when I was in college, 1040 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 1: and I went to a game there and it was 1041 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:23,919 Speaker 1: eye opening because I know, I'd gone to baseball games 1042 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,360 Speaker 1: and football games here in America, but never a soccer 1043 00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 1: game in Europe. And the first thing I noticed was, 1044 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:31,799 Speaker 1: this is nineteen ninety eight. I'm old. I was walking 1045 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,080 Speaker 1: up to the stadium and there's a guy with a 1046 00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,040 Speaker 1: full machine gun, you know, right gear all that stuff, 1047 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:37,680 Speaker 1: and I was like, what were you? This was in 1048 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,360 Speaker 1: Madrid at Aletico Madrid. It wasn't real. I went to 1049 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,640 Speaker 1: both games, were both teams, but this is the first one. 1050 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,200 Speaker 1: It was aletic It was awesome. Yeah, what was your 1051 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,080 Speaker 1: eye opening experience? Because I've heard her interviews with you. 1052 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 1: You've gone and seen games in England, You've gone to 1053 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,320 Speaker 1: Brazil and all that. What was an eye opening experience 1054 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,399 Speaker 1: like that when you saw a soccer game. It could 1055 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,480 Speaker 1: be on the field, off the field, whatever it was. 1056 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,440 Speaker 1: It was definitely the World Cup when I went to 1057 00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,080 Speaker 1: Brazil for the World Cup, just going to experience that 1058 00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,800 Speaker 1: was insane. I went to m I went to a 1059 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,399 Speaker 1: couple of USA games. I followed the USA men's team 1060 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,920 Speaker 1: and they played I played Portugal. So I saw them 1061 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,120 Speaker 1: play Ronaldo and we were winning the whole game, and 1062 00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:22,600 Speaker 1: then an extra time Ronaldo comes and they he puts 1063 00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:23,879 Speaker 1: one in the back of the net and they tied 1064 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,239 Speaker 1: the game. And instead of us winning that game, we 1065 00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:28,320 Speaker 1: end up tying, which we don't get the points we 1066 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,840 Speaker 1: need to get a lesser opponent. We had to go 1067 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,720 Speaker 1: play Germany. I actually followed them to receive a Brazil 1068 00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:38,160 Speaker 1: to and they played Germany and the Germans were crazy. 1069 00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 1: They were just tactical. And but one thing, I went 1070 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 1: to a watch party because we had went to the 1071 00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,440 Speaker 1: USA Games. We went to like a Switzerland game before, 1072 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 1: but we had went to a watch party because Brazil 1073 00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,920 Speaker 1: was playing, but they were playing like far away, you 1074 00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:54,000 Speaker 1: know what I mean. I was, I was coming to 1075 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:58,120 Speaker 1: watch USA, but Brazil was playing like somewhere further away, 1076 00:52:58,160 --> 00:52:59,680 Speaker 1: and people, I don't know if everybody realized that's a 1077 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,919 Speaker 1: mass of country, lots of big cities all over, of course, 1078 00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:07,760 Speaker 1: so it wasn't drivable, it wasn't fliable. It was flyable, 1079 00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,680 Speaker 1: but we couldn't get there in time from the games 1080 00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:11,040 Speaker 1: that we were coming. So we went to a watch 1081 00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,919 Speaker 1: party and it was just like it was a huge 1082 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,920 Speaker 1: big screen and just like bleachers, but they had like 1083 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,920 Speaker 1: these like like kind of like suits up top, and 1084 00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,000 Speaker 1: the place was just insane. The place was going crazy. 1085 00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,360 Speaker 1: Brazil scores a goal to place, that's going absurd. The 1086 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,879 Speaker 1: place is going crazy. And just how much they loved 1087 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 1: their soccer and how much they loved their national team, 1088 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,560 Speaker 1: and with Naimar and all those guys they had, it 1089 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 1: was just in the same experience, man. So I think 1090 00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:42,520 Speaker 1: that World Cup just kind of, you know, triggered to 1091 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 1: lit the fire even more for soccer. And then I've 1092 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,880 Speaker 1: been to an Arsenal game in England. The game I 1093 00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:52,400 Speaker 1: went to here Mexico vers Canada. That game was insane. 1094 00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:57,359 Speaker 1: I have never heard this stadium as loud as I've 1095 00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,200 Speaker 1: heard it during a Mexico game. It was I went 1096 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 1: to in eleven cheat you rito. He got the ball 1097 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 1: and he was on a breakaway. I thought the roof 1098 00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,840 Speaker 1: was gonna come off, man. So it was tied. It 1099 00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,000 Speaker 1: was maybe two to two. They were an extra time. 1100 00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:11,880 Speaker 1: It was probably a minute to go, you know what 1101 00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,279 Speaker 1: I mean. And Mexico hits a corner, they put one 1102 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:18,000 Speaker 1: in the back of the net. The place goes insane. 1103 00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:22,960 Speaker 1: The beers they're throwing dipping dots, whatever's in their hand, popcorn, 1104 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,279 Speaker 1: whatever's in the hand, it's in the air. I'm looking down, 1105 00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,320 Speaker 1: my wife's looking down. She got some creamy white stuff 1106 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,279 Speaker 1: on her arm. I'm like, what is that like, Like, 1107 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,759 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it's beer is everywhere. I 1108 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,839 Speaker 1: walking the next day. The whole place smells like beer, 1109 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,160 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But uh, that was like 1110 00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,279 Speaker 1: an international experience and it was right here in n RG. 1111 00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,560 Speaker 1: So don't sleep, guys.

I was imitating here with that voice. 1208 01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,560 Speaker 1: But my best Halloween costume probably I was a minion 1209 01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:11,800 Speaker 1: with the family. We were all minions, good one. So 1210 01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:13,560 Speaker 1: we had on the yellow with the overalls with the 1211 01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:17,720 Speaker 1: goggles and we were pretty cool. It's good. Here's the 1212 01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:19,320 Speaker 1: last one. Are you gonna dress up as a family 1213 01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,960 Speaker 1: this year? We don't dress the best family because all 1214 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,000 Speaker 1: the kids want their own individual things, you know what 1215 01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,400 Speaker 1: I mean. So my son is catboy off PJA masks. 1216 01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:31,600 Speaker 1: We've done that before. The daughter's like some evil vampire princess.

She is now 1220 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:43,520 Speaker 1: being I'm not sure, maybe your princess or something. It's 1221 01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,680 Speaker 1: a big departure from the dinosaur. Yeah, because she always 1222 01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,560 Speaker 1: wants to be a dinosaur, right, so last year they 1223 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,640 Speaker 1: didn't have dinosaur, so we just ordered your dragon costume 1224 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,640 Speaker 1: and she thought she was as she thought she was 1225 01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,840 Speaker 1: a dinosaur, but she was really draggon.

I think the 1301 01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:07,600 Speaker 1: Chiefs are going to house the Titans. I think Derrick 1302 01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:12,120 Speaker 1: Henry has a decent game one twenty five a tuddy, 1303 01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:14,360 Speaker 1: but I think the Chiefs are gonna slow down that 1304 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:16,960 Speaker 1: passing game and that's where they're gonna take over. I 1305 01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:22,160 Speaker 1: think the Chiefs win this thirty nine two twenty four, 1306 01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:24,800 Speaker 1: so they cover the four and a half. Give the 1307 01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:29,040 Speaker 1: Chiefs the win on the road in Nashville, something Buffalo 1308 01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:32,280 Speaker 1: couldn't do last week. The Falcons at two and three 1309 01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,200 Speaker 1: are taken on the Dolphins. Actually, the Dolphins askew to 1310 01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,800 Speaker 1: buy I thought they would have a buye. He didn't 1311 01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,880 Speaker 1: realize they decided not to take a buye after playing 1312 01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:44,560 Speaker 1: in London. So they play at home against the Atlanta Falcons, 1313 01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:46,520 Speaker 1: where the Falcons are two and a half point favorites. 1314 01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,280 Speaker 1: Now I can tell you from having taken that London 1315 01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,960 Speaker 1: trip I needed to buy week. I don't think the 1316 01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:54,280 Speaker 1: Dolphins have a chance in haities and winning this game. 1317 01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:57,240 Speaker 1: I think there's all kinds of things going on which 1318 01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,280 Speaker 1: makes me feel like I should take the Dolphins, and 1319 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:04,240 Speaker 1: I'm going to I know the it's what the Deshaun 1320 01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:08,920 Speaker 1: Watson rumors and tuah and coming back from London, this 1321 01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:12,800 Speaker 1: feels like the complete opposite. Like this feels like a 1322 01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:17,920 Speaker 1: Castanza game. Go opposite, think opposite. I'm thinking, man, it's 1323 01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:21,400 Speaker 1: a slam dunk for Atlanta to go take on the Dolphins. 1324 01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,640 Speaker 1: Atlanta had a bye week after coming back from from 1325 01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:27,800 Speaker 1: its London trip. This feels like it should be Atlanta 1326 01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,480 Speaker 1: all the way. I'm going Dolphins. I don't think Dolphins 1327 01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:32,960 Speaker 1: are very good, but I do think the Dolphins are 1328 01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:36,160 Speaker 1: gonna win this one. I'm going apo Dolphins win, which 1329 01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:37,920 Speaker 1: obviously will cover that two and a half as well. 1330 01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:41,400 Speaker 1: So Dolphins win, Dolphins cover Dolphins outright home. Man, I 1331 01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:43,320 Speaker 1: can't believe I'm doing it, but I'm doing it. The 1332 01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,360 Speaker 1: j T S Jets, Jets, Jets are taking on the 1333 01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,720 Speaker 1: Patriots and the Bill Belichick Bowl. If you remember, Bill 1334 01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 1: Belichick was once, well not once twice, the head coach 1335 01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,880 Speaker 1: of the New York Jets. Never coached the game for 1336 01:06:56,960 --> 01:06:59,000 Speaker 1: the New York Jets, but the lot of you didn't 1337 01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,240 Speaker 1: know that he did. He's coached a lot of games 1338 01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:04,040 Speaker 1: with the Patriots. But this year it hasn't gone well. 1339 01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,000 Speaker 1: They've got two wins, they got four losses. Now they've 1340 01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,120 Speaker 1: been narrowed and they've lost a couple of close ones. 1341 01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,960 Speaker 1: You should have lost another close one Energy Stadium, but 1342 01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:14,360 Speaker 1: they pulled that one out. And they're playing at home 1343 01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:17,880 Speaker 1: against the Jets, who the Patriots beat already, New England's 1344 01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:20,160 Speaker 1: favored by seven. I think the Patriots win this thirty 1345 01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,439 Speaker 1: four twenty four. I don't even know if the Jets 1346 01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:25,240 Speaker 1: can get that many points. Let's go thirty one seventeen. 1347 01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:28,880 Speaker 1: Patriots win. Go to three and four Jets fall to 1348 01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:34,920 Speaker 1: one in five. Panthers are taken on to gamen Man. 1349 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:38,120 Speaker 1: The Giants are not very good, not very good. But 1350 01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,520 Speaker 1: the Panthers have lost three in a row. Beat the 1351 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:43,360 Speaker 1: Texans on a Thursday night to get to three and 1352 01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:48,640 Speaker 1: oh that was September twenty third. They have not one since. 1353 01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:54,760 Speaker 1: They have struggled, struggled since. Yet the Panthers are three 1354 01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,600 Speaker 1: and a half point favorites against the Giants in the Meadowlands. 1355 01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:02,479 Speaker 1: Now I would immediately think, Oh, the Panthers are gonna 1356 01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:07,680 Speaker 1: win this. But again, I'm going sort of OPO earlier. 1357 01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:10,480 Speaker 1: I think I trust the Dolphins more than I trust 1358 01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:15,560 Speaker 1: the Giants. Both former Patriots coaches Joe Judge Brian Flores. 1359 01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:20,400 Speaker 1: Do I trust Joe Judge and the Giants to get 1360 01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,040 Speaker 1: a win against the Panthers. Not this time. I think 1361 01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:26,880 Speaker 1: the Panthers are gonna stop what ails them. They're gonna 1362 01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:29,559 Speaker 1: stop turning the ball over and they're going to put 1363 01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,479 Speaker 1: points up on the board, make the g man chase him, 1364 01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:33,280 Speaker 1: and that's not gonna happen. I think Caroline's gonna win 1365 01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:35,560 Speaker 1: this and win it by seven at a minimum. So 1366 01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:40,200 Speaker 1: the Panthers win and cover on Z road. All right. 1367 01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:43,640 Speaker 1: When I looked at earlier the Chiefs Titans, I said, oh, 1368 01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:45,360 Speaker 1: this is the game of the weekend. Then I look 1369 01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,600 Speaker 1: down I saw this game. I thought, I think this 1370 01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,080 Speaker 1: could be the game of the weekend. And who would 1371 01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:55,080 Speaker 1: have funk it? Who would have fucked Bengals v Ravens 1372 01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:59,760 Speaker 1: would be playing in an AFC North clash that would 1373 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:04,120 Speaker 1: term in the number one spot in the AFC North. 1374 01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:07,160 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? That's how well the Bengals have 1375 01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:10,280 Speaker 1: played this year. They're not shooting themselves in the foot. 1376 01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:15,800 Speaker 1: I think, quite honestly, the Bengals have really compiled a 1377 01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:21,120 Speaker 1: roster that is really super talented. And Joey Burrow, Jamar 1378 01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:24,160 Speaker 1: Chase are sick with it. But when you talk about 1379 01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,639 Speaker 1: Burrow to Chase, Wells got Tyler Board, you got T Higgins, 1380 01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:30,559 Speaker 1: you got c j Uzoma, you got Joe Mixon come 1381 01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:34,439 Speaker 1: out of the backfield. I mean, you've got weapons galore. 1382 01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:39,280 Speaker 1: But the Ravens have Lamar Jackson, and that, my friends, 1383 01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,080 Speaker 1: is enough for me. Now, the number six and a half, 1384 01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:47,680 Speaker 1: I don't like it, but I probably at seven, I 1385 01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:49,880 Speaker 1: probably would have said give me the Bengals at six 1386 01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:52,240 Speaker 1: and a half, give me the Ravens. I think the 1387 01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:55,080 Speaker 1: Ravens win this by seven. This feels like a good 1388 01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:58,519 Speaker 1: old fashioned thirty eight thirty one because the Bengals can 1389 01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:02,040 Speaker 1: score now and the ray Evens can't too. I'm taking 1390 01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,880 Speaker 1: Ravens to win and cover. But this is gonna be 1391 01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:07,720 Speaker 1: a heck of a ball game. This feels like it's 1392 01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:10,439 Speaker 1: gonna be a fourth quarter where you're sweating at cover. 1393 01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,759 Speaker 1: But Lamar is going to get it for you. Trust 1394 01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:15,720 Speaker 1: me on that. Lamar's gonna get it for you, and 1395 01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,800 Speaker 1: the Ravens will move to six and one. All right, 1396 01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,800 Speaker 1: let's go to the afternoon window, and you got the 1397 01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:24,880 Speaker 1: Texans and Cardinals, and you know my thoughts. I don't pick, 1398 01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:27,519 Speaker 1: you know, heart and head. Arizona's favored by eighteen. But 1399 01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,360 Speaker 1: keep in mind, as said earlier in the show, at home, 1400 01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:35,760 Speaker 1: the Cardinals have won by one and seven on the road. 1401 01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:39,280 Speaker 1: They've destroyed teams at home, they've not won by more 1402 01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:42,000 Speaker 1: than to score. So we'll see if that changes this week. 1403 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:44,560 Speaker 1: But I don't pick ever the Texans game to go 1404 01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:46,639 Speaker 1: against my heart, my head, all that kind of nonsense 1405 01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:49,600 Speaker 1: which you've heard before. Now, the first game in the 1406 01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:53,559 Speaker 1: afternoon window is out in Las Vegas, where the Raiders 1407 01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:58,800 Speaker 1: got a massive win at Denver. After the resignation of 1408 01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:03,360 Speaker 1: John Gruden, Rich Basasia took over and the Raiders look good. 1409 01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:07,960 Speaker 1: Everything they did look good. I mean, I mean offensively, 1410 01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:11,280 Speaker 1: they attacked defense, special team to make mistakes. I mean, 1411 01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:13,840 Speaker 1: the Raiders looked good. The Raiders are favored by only 1412 01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,200 Speaker 1: three in this game over the Eagles. I think the 1413 01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:19,960 Speaker 1: Raiders are going to blow them out. I am relatively speaking. 1414 01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:22,880 Speaker 1: I think this is thirty one twenty one. Yes, they 1415 01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:27,519 Speaker 1: the Eagles had a mini buy after the Cowboys game 1416 01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,760 Speaker 1: No Cowboys, no Buccaneers Thursday night game, so they had 1417 01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:32,519 Speaker 1: a little bit of time off. But the Eagles are 1418 01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:34,960 Speaker 1: not a great football team and they longer have zach Ertz, 1419 01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,720 Speaker 1: and they really didn't do much against the Bucks. Now 1420 01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:39,880 Speaker 1: the Raiders are not as good as the Bucks. That said, 1421 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,240 Speaker 1: playing at home, I think the Raiders are going to 1422 01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:44,760 Speaker 1: win this one by ten. That will definitely cover the 1423 01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:49,519 Speaker 1: three taker plus Vegas jack pot baby to win and 1424 01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:53,799 Speaker 1: to cover that three point spread in the Jared Goff 1425 01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:58,479 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford switch a rubowl in soap By Stadium, the 1426 01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,280 Speaker 1: Lions owing six, the only winless team in the league 1427 01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:05,479 Speaker 1: are taking on the Rams. Don't know how the AFC 1428 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,080 Speaker 1: West pulled that off. With their top teams taken on 1429 01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:10,000 Speaker 1: the Texas that won in five and the Lins oh 1430 01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:16,920 Speaker 1: and six LA favored by sixteen. I think this might 1431 01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:20,200 Speaker 1: be one of the last games we see Jared Goff. 1432 01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:22,880 Speaker 1: The Lions are not extremely happy with them. Dan Campbell 1433 01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:26,280 Speaker 1: kind of challenged Jared Goff to do more for this team. 1434 01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:29,679 Speaker 1: And look, the Lions should have two wins. They lost 1435 01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:34,080 Speaker 1: nineteen seventeen game ending field goals in both and I 1436 01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:37,000 Speaker 1: mean just gut punchs losses. So the Lions have played 1437 01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:40,680 Speaker 1: well at times, they will not play well enough to 1438 01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,600 Speaker 1: win or to even cover that sixteen. I think the 1439 01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:48,080 Speaker 1: Rams put it on them. Let's go, let's go thirty 1440 01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:53,160 Speaker 1: five fourteen Rams win and move to six and one. 1441 01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:57,880 Speaker 1: The Bears are taken on the Bucks Sunday afternoon in 1442 01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:02,880 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. The Bear not doing a lot offensively with 1443 01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:07,000 Speaker 1: Justin Fields rookie quarterbacks, still trying to find his way. 1444 01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:10,080 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we know that story here in Houston 1445 01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:13,280 Speaker 1: with Davis Mills. A lot is expected of Justin Fields, though, 1446 01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:15,400 Speaker 1: because he's the eleventh overall pick, the Bears moved up 1447 01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:17,080 Speaker 1: to get him, so he's got to produce. But the 1448 01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:22,320 Speaker 1: Bucks didn't play exceedingly well against Eagles, but better than 1449 01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:25,160 Speaker 1: they've been playing. And I think with the mini buy, 1450 01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:27,519 Speaker 1: the Bucks are gonna be tough. They're favored by eleven 1451 01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:29,120 Speaker 1: and a half. I think they cover that. This is 1452 01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:33,679 Speaker 1: twenty eight, fourteen, thirty one, seventeen kind of game. Bucks 1453 01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:35,920 Speaker 1: are going to win and cover that eleven and a half. 1454 01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:39,800 Speaker 1: That is a big nut to cover, but I think 1455 01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:43,320 Speaker 1: they're going to do it. Bucks win and cover. Sunday Night, 1456 01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:48,120 Speaker 1: Oh boy, the DeForest Buckner returns to San Francisco Bowl. 1457 01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,439 Speaker 1: The Cults are taking on the forty nine ers. Forty 1458 01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:55,479 Speaker 1: nine ers just I think it's garoppolo, but nobody sure. 1459 01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:57,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what to think of the forty nine ers. 1460 01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:03,200 Speaker 1: I know the Colts, now relatively healthy, are going to 1461 01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:05,920 Speaker 1: be tough to beat. I just don't know, you know what, 1462 01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:08,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to do it, but I'm going to. 1463 01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:09,759 Speaker 1: I think the Cults are gonna go to San Francisco 1464 01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:12,760 Speaker 1: and pull the upset. It's an upset because San Francisco's 1465 01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:14,280 Speaker 1: favorite by four, But I think the Cults are gonna 1466 01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:17,719 Speaker 1: win this game. They'll lose Julian Blackman. He got injured 1467 01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:21,560 Speaker 1: this week in practice. That's gonna sting that defense. But 1468 01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:24,000 Speaker 1: I think there's enough there in this Colts defense to 1469 01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:26,040 Speaker 1: make life tough for San Francisco, especially if to have 1470 01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:29,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback issues. Let's go with the Colts to upset 1471 01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,320 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers and obviously cover that four and 1472 01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:35,439 Speaker 1: the Monday Night Saints and Seahawks out in Seattle. Russell 1473 01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:37,640 Speaker 1: Wilson's still banged up New Orleans favored by four and 1474 01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:41,240 Speaker 1: a half. I mean, Jamis Winston gets you know, Smith, 1475 01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:43,400 Speaker 1: I don't know, I get real excited about it. But 1476 01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:51,000 Speaker 1: let's go Seattle and a desperate, desperate upset over the 1477 01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,439 Speaker 1: Saints at home. I don't know how it happens. Let's 1478 01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:57,720 Speaker 1: go twenty seven twenty three Sea at all Seahawks with 1479 01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:01,439 Speaker 1: an upset of the Saints. They are your predictions for 1480 01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:04,759 Speaker 1: this week. We get back, let's get some Houston Methodists 1481 01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:08,080 Speaker 1: minutes in, and let's get Drew's final work with mark 1482 01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:10,800 Speaker 1: Ingram right here at Texans will Access right here at 1483 01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:13,280 Speaker 1: Texans will Access right we go on.

Mark take it away. 1497 01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:03,360 Speaker 1: It's Houston Methodist Minutes. In today's topic is hip injuries 1498 01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:07,439 Speaker 1: with doctor Josh Harris. No relation to our John Harris 1499 01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:12,080 Speaker 1: Football Guru, Doctor Josh Harris hip Guru, and let's get 1500 01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:16,480 Speaker 1: into this. Pick up the conversation with preventing hip injuries 1501 01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:19,880 Speaker 1: and those stand up desks better than you think for 1502 01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:24,599 Speaker 1: preventing hip injuries avoiding a sedentary position. Doctor, Do they work? 1503 01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:28,080 Speaker 1: They are definitely great. I have one personally myself. Many 1504 01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:30,720 Speaker 1: of my partners actually have one as well, and it's 1505 01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:32,880 Speaker 1: because of that exact issue of the shape of the 1506 01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:35,120 Speaker 1: ball and socket hip joint. And so when you stand, 1507 01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:38,360 Speaker 1: that impingement is coming out of the socket and there's 1508 01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:40,720 Speaker 1: less chance that's going to push on the cartilage, push 1509 01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,360 Speaker 1: on the labrum and cause symptoms. And so the standing 1510 01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:46,000 Speaker 1: desk definitely does help your hip, all right. Athletes that 1511 01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,560 Speaker 1: get hip injuries and have hip surgery, and I know 1512 01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:52,400 Speaker 1: it varies, but is the recovery good enough to get 1513 01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:54,439 Speaker 1: them good as new? Are they ever really the same 1514 01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:57,360 Speaker 1: with the hip? Yeah, So the biggest predictor of success 1515 01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:00,160 Speaker 1: at the time of hip surgery to fix impingement and 1516 01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:03,000 Speaker 1: cartilage chairs and athletes is how they have at the 1517 01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:06,040 Speaker 1: time of that operation. And this is usually a surgery 1518 01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:10,479 Speaker 1: that's reserved for younger individuals teenagers, twenties and thirties, and 1519 01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:13,439 Speaker 1: so at that time, if they have no cartilage damage 1520 01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:16,080 Speaker 1: in their joint, no arthritis inside their joint, in the 1521 01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:20,240 Speaker 1: prediction of pain relief, symptom improvement, and returning back to 1522 01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:24,960 Speaker 1: play is actually very high. At our institution at Houston Methodists, 1523 01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:28,240 Speaker 1: we've actually studied this in several different sports. For professional 1524 01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:31,479 Speaker 1: athletes including the NFL, And we've looked at the predictors 1525 01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:34,080 Speaker 1: of success and failure, and the biggest predictor is how 1526 01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:36,920 Speaker 1: much arthritis they have. If they have no arthritis, the 1527 01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:40,400 Speaker 1: likelihood of returning back to play is probably greater than 1528 01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:43,960 Speaker 1: not eighty to ninety. If they have a little bit arthritis, 1529 01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:47,040 Speaker 1: that number probably drops. And I think the biggest key 1530 01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:50,000 Speaker 1: is that in those individuals that do return back, we've 1531 01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:53,280 Speaker 1: actually found that their performance, so the stats and so 1532 01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:57,479 Speaker 1: their touchdowns, their yards, everything they're trying to shoot back 1533 01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:00,800 Speaker 1: towards is as good as pre injury. And so I 1534 01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:02,320 Speaker 1: think that that's one of the things that a lot 1535 01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:05,720 Speaker 1: of athletes, a lot of teams really are looking for him. 1536 01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:08,280 Speaker 1: We've just not been doing this long enough to follow 1537 01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:11,360 Speaker 1: out in large numbers, either at the combine or from 1538 01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:15,439 Speaker 1: publicly available data or from our literature. That's doctor Josh 1539 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:19,720 Speaker 1: Harris with Hip Injury Prevention and Information. For more go 1540 01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:23,839 Speaker 1: to Houston Methodist dot org. It's the official healthcare provider 1541 01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:27,640 Speaker 1: of the Houston, Texans. Houston Methodist Leading Medicine. Now I 1542 01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:29,519 Speaker 1: learned the show. We had a chance to have a 1543 01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:33,080 Speaker 1: little Drews dozen with Mark Ingram and the Great thing 1544 01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,240 Speaker 1: that Drew has been able to do with the players 1545 01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:39,680 Speaker 1: is get a little Drews doesn't, and then talk a 1546 01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:42,200 Speaker 1: little football with them to talk about this matchup this 1547 01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:47,720 Speaker 1: weekend that Mark Ingram has with the Arizona Cardinals. So 1548 01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:52,400 Speaker 1: Drews doesn't not really about football too much. Drew's final 1549 01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:56,439 Speaker 1: word a lot about football. Let's get to it right now, Mark, 1550 01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:59,519 Speaker 1: It's been an interesting week as a leader. How much 1551 01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:01,479 Speaker 1: do you talk in a week like this? How much 1552 01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:05,000 Speaker 1: do you simply do in a week like this? They 1553 01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:08,679 Speaker 1: just get back to work, just stay grinding, stay focused 1554 01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:11,320 Speaker 1: on the task at hand, trying to make sure I'm 1555 01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:13,640 Speaker 1: preparing to the best my ability to go out there 1556 01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:15,960 Speaker 1: and help the team win. And you just try to 1557 01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:19,040 Speaker 1: do that by example, and you just try to, you know, 1558 01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:21,639 Speaker 1: have communication with your teammates just to make sure everyone's 1559 01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:23,920 Speaker 1: on the same page, make sure everyone's feeling good with 1560 01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,760 Speaker 1: the vibes and energy, and you just go out there 1561 01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:28,519 Speaker 1: and work and you try to put your best feel 1562 01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:30,720 Speaker 1: forward so we can give ourselves the best opportunity to 1563 01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:33,639 Speaker 1: have success on Sunday. Because of the outcome last Sunday, 1564 01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:35,720 Speaker 1: it wasn't talked about and it was sort of lost 1565 01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:37,639 Speaker 1: in the shuffle. But you ran the ball really well. 1566 01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:39,640 Speaker 1: I mean you were over four yards to carry. It 1567 01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:41,600 Speaker 1: was one of your best performances of the season. What 1568 01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:44,200 Speaker 1: was a little bit different, if anything, for you? I 1569 01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:46,200 Speaker 1: think we I think the offensive line just did a 1570 01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:49,120 Speaker 1: great job of just getting movement, creating movement, and creating 1571 01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:52,120 Speaker 1: seams to run through. Had a couple of chunk runs 1572 01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,760 Speaker 1: and that always helps. So you know, TK calling the 1573 01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:58,160 Speaker 1: runs has trusting us that we're gonna execute them properly. 1574 01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:02,520 Speaker 1: But I'll do with the big guys up front, tight ends, receivers, 1575 01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:05,240 Speaker 1: all those guys being able to block and get hat 1576 01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:07,160 Speaker 1: on the hat and just create seems for us to 1577 01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:09,040 Speaker 1: run through. And that's why I was able to run 1578 01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:10,760 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, and you're a pretty confident guy. I 1579 01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:13,760 Speaker 1: get the sense that you're confident that that performance from 1580 01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:16,559 Speaker 1: the line up front, can continue, don't you sustainable? Right? 1581 01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:19,560 Speaker 1: Of course, I have the upmost faith and confidence in 1582 01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:22,280 Speaker 1: those guys. They always work, and Coach Camp does a 1583 01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:24,320 Speaker 1: great job preparing them and making sure that they know 1584 01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:27,439 Speaker 1: what to do with different looks, with movement they're getting 1585 01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:29,840 Speaker 1: on the line. You know, he always has those guys ready, 1586 01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,840 Speaker 1: So I'm excited that those that's my offensive line, and 1587 01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:35,280 Speaker 1: I'm confident that we'll be able to, you know, continue 1588 01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:38,000 Speaker 1: to success. Let's talk about this front seven for Arizona. 1589 01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:40,599 Speaker 1: What impresses you the most, what presents the biggest challenge 1590 01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:42,960 Speaker 1: in your eyes? They have a lot of guys, you know, 1591 01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:46,680 Speaker 1: channel Er JJ, the backers, D tackles, you know, got 1592 01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:50,280 Speaker 1: Buddha Baker. They're just a well coached defense, fly to 1593 01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:52,920 Speaker 1: the ball. They play well within their scheme, and they 1594 01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,160 Speaker 1: know how to adjust and adapt and make adjustments. And 1595 01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, that's the signs of a good defense. But 1596 01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:00,160 Speaker 1: you know it'll be a good challenge for us. US 1597 01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:02,479 Speaker 1: you have to limit them. We have to stay on track. 1598 01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:04,560 Speaker 1: We have to play winning football, you know. And I 1599 01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:07,840 Speaker 1: have turnovers, and I have penalties, and I have missed 1600 01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:11,040 Speaker 1: assignments and mental errors. So of course there'll be mistakes. 1601 01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:13,640 Speaker 1: Everything won't be perfect. But I'm we're excited about to 1602 01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:16,400 Speaker 1: challenging your hand and we're all working and looking forward 1603 01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:19,040 Speaker 1: to putting ourselves having the best opportunity to have success 1604 01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:20,400 Speaker 1: in the game. All Right, we gotta find out how 1605 01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:24,080 Speaker 1: you're powering game day. So the night before, say a 1606 01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:26,240 Speaker 1: noon game, how many hours of sleep are you getting 1607 01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:28,840 Speaker 1: When are you waking up too? I'm probably like eight hours, 1608 01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:32,439 Speaker 1: right around eight hours, I'm probably if the bus leads 1609 01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:35,000 Speaker 1: are like nine thirty, I'm probably up around like eight 1610 01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:39,320 Speaker 1: eight fifteen ish. Give myself like forty five minutes just 1611 01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:43,040 Speaker 1: to you know, mosy around, get dressed, pack up my stuff, 1612 01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:45,840 Speaker 1: and then get down for breakfast about thirty minutes and 1613 01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:48,759 Speaker 1: get on the bus headed to the stadium. So simple. 1614 01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,839 Speaker 1: What is for breakfast? I usually do like a waffle, 1615 01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:56,120 Speaker 1: I get some I get an omelet with like broccoli, spinach, 1616 01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:59,880 Speaker 1: some bacon, a waffle. That's about it. I'd be forced 1617 01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:02,360 Speaker 1: myself on one game day because I don't really have 1618 01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:05,160 Speaker 1: too much of an appetite. Yeah understand. Yeah, so I'd 1619 01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:07,439 Speaker 1: be kind of forced for you myself. But that's what 1620 01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:09,519 Speaker 1: I eat. If you mix in broccoli and the omelet. 1621 01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:11,960 Speaker 1: I've never actually met anyboddy. I always see the broccoli there, 1622 01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:13,840 Speaker 1: but I never see it actually get eaten. Yeah. I 1623 01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:16,479 Speaker 1: like broccoli, and the greens are good for you, so 1624 01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:20,240 Speaker 1: supposed to give you energy for the game. So try 1625 01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,519 Speaker 1: not to just put a lot of you know, protein 1626 01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:25,000 Speaker 1: in my omelet, but just you know, put some vegetables 1627 01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:27,160 Speaker 1: in there stay so I can get those greens in 1628 01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:29,680 Speaker 1: there and get my waffle and put some strawberries on it, 1629 01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:32,880 Speaker 1: the syrup on it. Give me a couple of orange juice, 1630 01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:35,800 Speaker 1: and you're ready to roll, all right. And last thing, 1631 01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:37,360 Speaker 1: any music that you listen to once you get to 1632 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:39,200 Speaker 1: the stadium and you're getting ready and going through. What 1633 01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:40,640 Speaker 1: are you What are you listening to? I listened to 1634 01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:43,799 Speaker 1: a lot of different things like Oh LOTU Wayne, Old Jeezy, 1635 01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:50,000 Speaker 1: old Gucci, Little Boosey. I listened to some Future Young Dolph, Ghana. 1636 01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:53,599 Speaker 1: I just kind of rotate through shuffle of what I'm feeling. 1637 01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:56,799 Speaker 1: Meat milk could be in there, it could be anybody 1638 01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:58,880 Speaker 1: man mix it up. Yeah, I just mix it up 1639 01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:02,640 Speaker 1: and whatever feeling. But it's it's turned up. It's some 1640 01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:05,800 Speaker 1: some rap music, some trap music. Get going, you know 1641 01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:07,360 Speaker 1: what I mean. Especially when I'm in the locker room 1642 01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:09,640 Speaker 1: getting ready, close to get ready to go out. I 1643 01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:11,680 Speaker 1: gotta turn the musico, get crunk, you know what I mean. 1644 01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:13,280 Speaker 1: But kind of like on the way to the bus, 1645 01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:16,840 Speaker 1: more mellow Morse move maybe some gospel, maybe some old school. 1646 01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:18,720 Speaker 1: But once again in the locker room, it's time for 1647 01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:22,000 Speaker 1: business and got to get the energy of so understandably, 1648 01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,800 Speaker 1: so all right, we'll hope the energy remains high on 1649 01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:27,400 Speaker 1: game day. Good luck to you, mark Ingram, best of luck, 1650 01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:29,080 Speaker 1: and we can't wait to talk again very soon.

And of course I love 1653 01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:37,800 Speaker 1: it when Drew Doherty is leading that way. Love with 1654 01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:40,200 Speaker 1: a deep City has a chance to go deep slant 1655 01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:42,160 Speaker 1: like she did with mark Ingram a couple of weeks ago. 1656 01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:45,280 Speaker 1: I just love have mark ingramani air. I hope he 1657 01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:47,280 Speaker 1: plays for a very very long time. It plays very 1658 01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:50,080 Speaker 1: very well. But when he's done, he's going in front 1659 01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:51,920 Speaker 1: of a mic. I mean, his podcast is already very 1660 01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:55,120 Speaker 1: very good. So I just don't want mark to take 1661 01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:57,759 Speaker 1: my job at some point, which but she might because 1662 01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:00,320 Speaker 1: he is really good in front of a micro phone. 1663 01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:02,599 Speaker 1: But there are a lot of good people that are 1664 01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:05,920 Speaker 1: onto this show. This evening, we had Mark Vandamir, David Culley, 1665 01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:10,120 Speaker 1: DP Situ, the rookie Nico Collins, we had Drew Doherty, 1666 01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:13,400 Speaker 1: We of course had mark Ingram, and we had all 1667 01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:16,040 Speaker 1: of you. We have a man Robert Harris Junior back 1668 01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,439 Speaker 1: in studio making sure that I didn't step on the 1669 01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:21,840 Speaker 1: cord or unplug anything or say anything bad. So I'm 1670 01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:24,800 Speaker 1: a man. Robert Harris Junior is the best back at 1671 01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:29,320 Speaker 1: Station Michigan Control at Sports Radio six tens. To appreciate him, 1672 01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:33,160 Speaker 1: Appreciate all you guys. It's been tough. Last week was 1673 01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:36,479 Speaker 1: tough up in Indianapolis. This one could be tougher against 1674 01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:40,200 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, and hopefully your Texans are gonna go 1675 01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:44,000 Speaker 1: toe to toe with arguably the best team in the league. 1676 01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:45,920 Speaker 1: I say arguably, I don't know if it's arguable at 1677 01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:47,479 Speaker 1: this point. I think Cardinals are the best team in 1678 01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:50,240 Speaker 1: the league. And hopefully your Texans are gonna stand toe 1679 01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:52,679 Speaker 1: to toe and swap punches like it's a heavy weight, 1680 01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:57,360 Speaker 1: fifteen round fight. That's what you gotta see. That's what 1681 01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:00,439 Speaker 1: we need to see on Sunday from this group of 1682 01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:03,880 Speaker 1: Texans going up against JJ and Hop and Kyler and 1683 01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:07,479 Speaker 1: all the great players for the Arizona Cardinals. We will 1684 01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:10,639 Speaker 1: see you then forty eight hours or less than forty 1685 01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,000 Speaker 1: eight hours from now, as the Texans take on to Cardinals. 1686 01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:15,479 Speaker 1: Thanks everybody, We'll see you next time. It has always 1687 01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:16,000 Speaker 1: go Texans.
