1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Everybody? Welcome in to a Friday

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: edition the Texans All Access from Monday Texans Radio Studio.

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: I'm your host, John Harris, Football Adolston side of my

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: reporter with a jam packed show tonight. What don't we

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: have on the show. Well, we don't have James Harden

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: on the show. We don't have David Letterman on the show.

7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: But we do have Coach Cully, we do have Chris Conley,

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: we do have John Grenard, we have my picks and

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:36,319
Speaker 1: my keys, and we've got John Grenard again mixed in

10
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: Mark Vandamir, dpco Judori and myself. So we've got a

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: lot to do on the show this evening. So let's

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: kick it off with the head coach your football team,

13
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: used to Texans David Culley, who caught up with Mark

14
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: Vandemir this afternoon. Coach back on the road again, and

15
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: how does it help you that not only did Davis

16
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: have a better perform against the Patriots last week, but

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: he's been through what he's been through at Buffalo. Play

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: to Cleveland. Now you go back in the division. At

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: least you're indoors too, yes, and you know, planning a

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: division opponent Mark. The only divisional game we've played this

21
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: year was Jacksonville. We won it. This is our second

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: one is still early. There's a bunch of games left

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: and it's always critical to take care of the division.

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: And we got a division opponent that's basically in a

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: similar situation that we're in. We're looking forward to it.

26
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: The motivation to go there right now is tremendous to

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: be able to do the things that we need to do,

28
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: and we're looking forward to going there. You threw the

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: ball a lot better last time out. You ran the

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: ball a little bit better. Are you close to getting

31
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: the balance or closer anyway that you're seeking. There was

32
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: more consistency this past week than we had had. And

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: the thing is is that because of the circumstances, I

34
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: thought we ran the ball well enough to be able

35
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: to allow us to throw the ball the way we did.

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: And basically they were allowing us. They were putting guys

37
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: up in the BA and we knew that we had to.

38
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: We were getting one on one type situations, and the

39
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: Davis and our receivers and our tight ends and our

40
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: backs did a great job of taking care of their

41
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: one on one matchups. And we end up getting some

42
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: big plays off of that. Colts gave up a lot

43
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: of yards last week, but they were really good earlier

44
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: in the game, and they've been good at times this year.

45
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: So how challenging is that to face their defense and

46
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: what they might throw at you. Well, it's very challenging

47
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: because I've I've heard them say the comment. I think

48
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: for about maybe six or eight quarters, those guys have

49
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: played really good defense. Yeah. Well, here's the thing about

50
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 1: it is, you got to play in a ball game.

51
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: You got to play four quarters of good defense or offense.

52
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: We're kind of know what that's like. So the thing

53
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: about it is is that we understand that the bottom

54
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: line is that you have to play for four quarters

55
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: and you have to finish the right way. And if

56
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: you finish the right way, you eliminate that those kind

57
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: of things from ever happening in those lulls in those

58
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: ball games. And the big thing is that's just to finish,

59
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: Just to finish exactly what you're doing and remember what

60
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: got you to where you are. We talked about balance

61
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: for the Texans. The Colts seem to be balanced on offense,

62
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: Taylor running the football and Carson Wentz really heating up

63
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: right now, Coach, Well, i'll tell you what he's playing.

64
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: This past game they played in Baltimore, he looked like

65
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: that four years ago, that candidate for the MVP. You know,

66
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: he's a heck of a player. He's had success in

67
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: this league. He's had some injuries. He seems to be

68
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: healthy right now. When he's healthy, he's one of the

69
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in this league. And it'll be a challenge

70
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: for us to do that. But what they've been doing

71
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: right now is they've had a good running game when

72
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: he's on, with the passing game. It's a very balanced attack.

73
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: And Frank Wright and those guys do a good job

74
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: up there. They know exactly what they want to do.

75
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: They have a system, they have an offense there that

76
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: they run, and they've been very effective and was very

77
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: effective this past week. One more question about your offense, coach,

78
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: how much does it help you that the tackles that

79
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna put out there had some success in the

80
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: preseason for you as well as got a little tste

81
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: of action last week, of course, but in the preseason

82
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: had a lot of production on the ground. Well, Mark,

83
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: that's why the preseason games are so important because you

84
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: know that at some point you get in a situation

85
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: where when injuries happened, and during the preseason, the one

86
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: thing that we did we moved guys all over and

87
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: being able to have that experience from having played in

88
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: some games and doing that. Obviously, we've got some injuries

89
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: right now and basically we go to next man up

90
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: mentality and when those guys come in, they've been there

91
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: and done that, and that's a very comforting to know

92
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: that they've been there and basically they know what's expected

93
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: of them. All right, what can you tell us about

94
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: the kicking game in this matchup with Indianapolis? Well, I'll

95
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: tell you what you know. Obviously, we both had some

96
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: struggles you know the past week. We we both got

97
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: really good kickers that we know that can get the

98
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: job done and the very good in this league. And

99
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: basically what we what we did coming into this week

100
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: was to make sure that correct the little mistakes that

101
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: we did to to move forward and knowing that everything

102
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: that happened that wasn't good last week was correctable. We've

103
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: corrected it and we felt like that just like this

104
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: past game, it's going to go down to somebody kicking

105
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: a field goal or somebody making an extra point in

106
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: the game, and when you have the kind of games

107
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: that you expect in this league, especially in the division.

108
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: So I feel good about where we're going right now. Coach,

109
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: thanks a lot for joining us. Good luck, You're welcome.

110
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: Mark all right, excellent stuff there from coach Cully. Glad

111
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: he joined us as he has each and every Friday.

112
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: And by us, I mean Mark, because well, I the

113
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 1: opportunity to talk to Nick Cassari on game day, and well,

114
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: the trade off is markets to talk to coach Kelly

115
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: on game day or on Friday, either way depending on

116
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: how you want to slice. Okay, injury slash status report

117
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: is out. We definitely have got to get into this.

118
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: It's more extends on the Colt side, but it's not

119
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: the best of news on the Texans side. So here

120
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: we roll for this one. Justin Brittain Desmond King. Now

121
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: Justin has been banged up dealing with the knee and

122
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: he has not and did not participate practice all week.

123
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: He's questionable. Desmond King moved from a limited participant deal

124
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: with the hip to a d P today. He is

125
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: also questionable out We already knows Larmie Tunsel. Now I

126
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: find it interesting Laramie is still on injury report. He

127
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: did not go to IR as of not at least

128
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: not now, but Laramie is out of this one. Limited

129
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: participants to practice day Damn a Dolo Rex Birkhead. I

130
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: would like to think they're both trending in a positive direction,

131
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: but already down. Marcus Cannon, Larmie Tunsel out. Justin Britt

132
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: didn't practice all week. This offensive line could be a

133
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: very interesting one on Sunday. Interesting is about the way

134
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: to describe it. For the Indiapolis Colts. They're already down

135
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson, he's on IR. They're all pro guard. They'll

136
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: also be without Braden Smith, who's drafted the same draft

137
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: with Nelson. He is a starting right tackle. He is out,

138
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: more than likely meets Julian Davenport, former Texan in at

139
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: right tackle again. Also out for the Colts Rodrigo Blanket,

140
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: Ship Kicker Andrews Anddejo rice Alum concussion he is out.

141
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: I mentioned Smith, Comico Ture with a groin injury on

142
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: the edge, he's out. Jordan Wilkins dealing with a non

143
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: football illness. He is out. They have five players out

144
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: Blanket Ship. He obviously is the starting kicker. Sindejo started

145
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: last week at safety. Braid Smith's starting right tackle, Turey

146
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: is a key, key guy out on the edge, and

147
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: then Jordan Wilkins. Well, they've got plenty of backs and

148
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: they're not gonna cry in their beer about not having

149
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Wilkins. Full participants to day practice Darius Leonard, Isaac Rochelle,

150
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: Rocky has Senior, hasn't played for a couple of games.

151
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: He could be back to the starting corner other starting

152
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: corner of Xavier Rhodes. He was a full participant today

153
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: in practice. He's in the concussion protocol. He's listed this questionable.

154
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: But in for the Colts, Quitty Pay the rookie defensive

155
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: end Darius Leonard deal with the ankle and a shoulder.

156
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: So five guys out for the Volts, one for the Texans.

157
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: That one for the Texans is a big one figuratively

158
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: and literally not literally literally in this one with Larremy

159
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: Tunsol being out. So injuries at this point of the year,

160
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: it's not too surprising the way that you look at

161
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: lineups and go, okay, well where are we what do

162
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: we got? Here. Well, this is one of those weeks

163
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: where you look at the offensive line in particular and

164
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, if Justin Britt can't go, Justin mccrai

165
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: has got to step in. If well, Larremy Tunsol can't go,

166
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: that's Jeron Christian more likely at left tackle. So how's

167
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: this line going to look? Well, I would imagine from

168
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: left to right, Christian Tunsol, question Mark Britt or McCray.

169
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: I'll say that, right guard Max Sharping, and then right

170
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: tackle Charlie Heck. So look, the Colts, it's not much better.

171
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: It's Eric Fisher left tackle. You've got Chris Reid who's

172
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: filling it, Quentin Nelson, you got Ryan Kelly, one of

173
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: the best centers in the league, right guard, Mark Lewinsky,

174
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: and Julian Davenport. That is not the offensive line either

175
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: team imagine having heading into Week six. But as they say,

176
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: tis what a tis? What are you gonna do about it? Nothing?

177
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: You're just gonna go up there and battle against the Colts.

178
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: One guy that is going to see a lot of

179
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: Brandon Smith and probably a lot of Eric Fisher is

180
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: John Grenard and our buddy Drew Doherty. Caught up with

181
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: Jag to talk about well, all things not football and

182
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: our Drews dozen. Jonathan Grenard, you and I have done

183
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: this a time or two. This is our first time

184
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: to talk in person. So good to see you, my friend.

185
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: Is good. I'm glad to finally meet a person. Yeah,

186
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I've asked you. I've asked you

187
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: about music a lot over the years. But I'm gonna

188
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: start off with some stepping because there is an awesome

189
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: video of you back from training Campbell. Desmond King was

190
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: mixed in there as well. Yeah, you guys were stepping

191
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: and it got a lot of great reaction, especially from

192
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: your fraturn. Tell me about what that was and explain

193
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: what what folks were seeing who don't understand. I haven't

194
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: seen that before. Yeah. So, like you know, as me

195
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: being the Brothers, we call itself the Brothers being a

196
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: mega self opportunity incorporated, you know, on the greatest fraternity

197
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: on the in the land. Um. But yeah, you know Daz,

198
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: you know jalil Aj, even coach All, I mean, we

199
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: pretty much all with the brods. We that's our way

200
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: of celebrating. That's when we hear a tomma dog come on,

201
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: that's like our That's like our anthem. Tomma dog is

202
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: definitely the anthem. I mean pretty much you hear that.

203
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: You play that anywhere you might see you know, I

204
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: don't care where you are, you might see a guy

205
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: peep his head back and he gets a stepping just

206
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: like we do. I mean, we we call it hopping.

207
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people say stepping, hoppings. Okay,

208
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: all right, so so we basically we call it hopping,

209
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: so as you see it, it it kind of looks like

210
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: we're hopping on pretty much. So but yeah, we love

211
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: it do that. That's that's that's the greatest thing that

212
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: I pretty much did when I was in college. Um

213
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: them as well, and it's something that we carry over.

214
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: We pretty much hope that brotherhood strongly like no other.

215
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: So anywhere we go we meet a bro a friend,

216
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: we call him in and we hit it off. Don't

217
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: matter if I've never met you before in my life.

218
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: I mean, We're gonna sit there and talk about the front,

219
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: just in each other in life. So I love a

220
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: fraternity to death. The hopping was cool because you know,

221
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: you even incorporated like a handstanding there. What's that? What's

222
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: what's the deal there? When you get when you get

223
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: a little a couple of years in the game, you

224
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: understand how hopping works in a little agile, little twist

225
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: to it. Hearing that off a certain routines it definitely

226
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: you can you can throw a little hands in their dads.

227
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: He's really some people be real with you. Hopping and

228
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: all that crazy other stuff is really for the smaller dude.

229
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: You can do more like because he can do a

230
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: little hands and there's some guys, some big guys can

231
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: do some stuff too, But he definitely didn't hands. That's

232
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'm let the litle dudes had on that one. Well,

233
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: you're being modest because you had some agility in there.

234
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: You you were not handling yourself like a big, you know,

235
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: clumsy guy. I mean you were handling yourself like like

236
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: a little guy. I mean does that kind of does

237
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: that kind of help out or as a defensive life.

238
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: I mean, hopping is definitely not easy. I mean it's

239
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: easy obviously once you get the hand of it, but

240
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: you still have to understand you're still doing physical activity,

241
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, jumping around on one leg, you know, spinning

242
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: off an other leg, you know, just hitting the split,

243
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: and these are things that I mean, if you you

244
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: land around way, it could be pretty dangerous. However, man,

245
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: we were athletes in this thing. I think everybody who

246
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: can attest to it in in the fraternity of guys

247
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: being nimble and a lot of their feet. You gotta

248
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: be in this game. So I think overall it's fun.

249
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: It gets you obviously warmed up too. You have to

250
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: warm up with You might pull amser ain't doing a

251
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: little kick or something like that. Worst. Yeah, I mean,

252
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: America's Funniest Videos has made a whole two decades worth,

253
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: three decades worth of videos off of In regards to that,

258
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: I know some people that had like similar birthdays, but

259

00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: of a singer. I wanted to try it so bad.

263
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: I think I still might actually try to pick it

264
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: up one time. I mean, I don't see why, not really,

265
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: I just want to see how it is. I was

266
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: just was curious because I mean, until I actually seen

267
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: the shoes and how they actually made, I was like, Okay,

268
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: I can understand why, because I would get my when

269
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: I was a little cat used to get my dress

270
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: shoes and going there and try to see that works.

271
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, no, I'm just scratching up my

272
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: mom will feed up his plates on them. Yeah, you

273
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: gotta put the plates on. So once I seen that,

274
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I was just kind of interested. But I

275
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: don't see why I wouldn't pick it back up. Something, Well,

276
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: maybe we're putting seed in there, kind of germinating. It's

287
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: actually when I got a football by elementary school, I've

288
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: seen a football book that had some of the top

289
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: players in there. I've seen Brian Earlacker. Obviously we don't

290
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: know who he is, well respecting linebacker, and I looked

291
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: at a birthday and I said, oh, okay, well now

292
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: we got some in commons. So ever since, I just

293
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: remember that, like in the top of my head shirt

294
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: that Brian Arlacker was. We shared the same birthday. You

295
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,560

297
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: h yeah, I grew up watching him. That's all kind

298
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: of when I play a linebacker, it was him and

299
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: Ray Lewis all I wanted to be like, yeah, yeah,

300
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: so him, those who are definitely my idols as far

301
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: as that position goes. Okay, out of those other four

302
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: or five that I brought up, which one would you

303
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: most like to encounter or just just chit chat with

304
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: at some point or another. I would like to I

305
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: think Frank he's right, if he was still here I

311
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: do you talk wrestling at all with any of your teammates?

312
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: Not much something. I don't know how many people watch it.

313
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: There's always it doesn't matter if you're in an NFL

314
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: locker room, if you're probably at a ballet company, if

315
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: you're an accounting firm. There's always a subset of folks

316
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: that like wrestling something always some people got that mix

317
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: it most as far as you know it's faking on

318
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: that look, I'm not worried about that. I'm looking for

319
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: their amazing athletes and their credible You go out there

320
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: and die from the top world to see if you

321
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: feel something, to see if it's so. That's why part

322
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: I love about it. So my brother, yeah, well we'll

323
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: talk that all the time. So I still like wrestling. Well,

324
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: you can talk with Justin Britt. I know he's a

325
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: big stone cold Steve Aouston. Roy Lopez loves the rock.

326
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: But you're a bandy orton guy. Sure, good to know,

327
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: good to know. Okay, let's do a little You ever

328
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: seen the show ted Lasso on Apple Plus? I have

329
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: not give it a try some time in the off

330
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: season or something that's pretty funny. But there's a question,

331
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: he asks, first concert you ever saw? Best concert? That's good?

332
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: So best concert was probably that's tough. First one twenty

333
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: one Savings rapper twenty s having a young bood concert

334
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: was in college, he went, don't see how it was?

335
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: Was fun. But I'm going to preface this now. I'm

336
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: going to see her tomorrow. She's actually coming to town.

337
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna see how she is, and I believe, honestly,

338
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: she's probably gonna take the cake. You think that's gonna

339
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: be the best one, might be the best one because

340
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: I like her her. Okay, she's a really good artist.

341
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: Music is amazing. I don't know. She's probably gonna bring

342
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: other people out, but for sure, I'm just gonna see

343
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: if that it is. Well, who's the champion in the

344
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: locker room right now before you see her? Because you

345
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: told me your first what was your best though that

346
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: you've seen? Man? The best probably that's tough because I've

347
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: only been only been a couple of I've been to

348
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: a lot, so I mean, besides that Torn Savin Consint mean,

349
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: like I said, at that time, at that time, I

350
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: was a huge fan of those two. So that was

351
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: it your first was That's a logical one. Man. I

352
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: feel like I've seen more though. I feel like I've

353
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: seen more people live before and it's just not coming

354
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: to me right now. Right. Yeah for sure. Now, this guy,

355
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: if you didn't know it, you advanced pretty during far

356
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: singing competition back in the day, actually did about ten

357
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: years ago maybe something like that. Yeah for sure. Okay,

358
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: so we've we've covered that before normally. I all I

359
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: often ask, you know, hey, what's in your what are

360
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: you listening to these days? So that what are you

361
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: singing these days? Are you singing anything? Yeah? Like like

362
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: I said, R and B, I think that's kind of

363
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: why I kind of like it so much. It's because I,

364
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: like I said, I like to sing. Um singing. It's

365
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: kind of like my release of you know, energy that

366
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: I have. Um. I've been doing this since my mom

367
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: she pretty much introduced me and my sister she sings

368
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: as well. We've been just singing it since we've been

369
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: coming up and then anything that comes to mind, we

370
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: just sing it. I mean it's kind of like just

371
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: our relaxation around the house with just popatune real quick.

372
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: And I think that's what kind it made me better

373
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: at it, and I love singing. Like the competition, that

374
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: was one of the first things where I actually kind

375
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: of had to take singing seriously and I kind of

376
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: understood what it actually embodies being a singer. I mean,

377
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: they had workouts that I've never even knew scars actually

378
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: work out like that. You know, I'm doing set up

379
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: singing in my highest note, and then I never like

380
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: what am I doing. But at the same time, it's

381
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: very challenging. So I think overall, once I've seen that

382
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: have a high amount of respect for performers. Obviously a

383
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: lot all the artists, but to performance sing at a

384
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: high level and you know, dancing and all that, that's

385
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: that's tough. So I hats off to them. And I

386
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: think that's why I end up choosing the football route,

387
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: because I understood how much time it was going to

388
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: take for me and dedicate my time to actually perfect

389
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: in this craft. It's interesting, so did you just initially

390
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: belt out a tune and that moved on and you're like, okay,

391
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: I gotta start doing a little bit more to get better.

392
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: Is that how that worked? Basically? Kinda? I mean my mom,

393
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 1: like I said, I grew up in the church, so

394
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: my mom she kind of got us into the church

395
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: really early. I was singing in there obviously, just a

396
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: couple of times, and then just around the house, you know,

397
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: me singing and picking up the songs. It's like you

398
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: need to him lead one of these songs. And my

399
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: first time was leading a song. I think I was

400
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: probably about ten or eleven. I was nervous as ever.

401
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just sitting there shaking obviously before the

402
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: song comes on. But then happens and I just had

403
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: to go bust out of tune and then actually turned

404
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: out pretty good after that. I mean, I ended up

405
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: going to that competition, and I ended up getting with

406
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: a voice coach, understanding how to how to hold your tunes,

407
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: how to where to sing from breathing from your diaphragm,

408
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: and understanding how everything works when it comes to singing.

409
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: And I obviously took chorus in high school as well,

410
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: all the way until I think my junior sophomore, junior year.

411
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, I loved it. I mean that that's something

412
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: that it's always gonna be near and dear to me always.

413
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: What's a tune or the start of a tune or

414
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: the bar of a tune that's stuck in your head

415
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: today today, singing today, anything when you're driving in or honestly,

416
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: I was listening to some shocking car earlier and here

417
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: it was like that ain't nobody song. It's like she's

418
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: singing that hunt it ain't no fun. I'm like, okay,

419
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: I'm sitting like okay, and I just kept I don't

420
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: know who was playing it, but I was just like,

421
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: listen to that today. So it kind of it kind

422
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: of caught me off guard. But anytime I hear that,

423
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: like I said, my mom, I'm an old soul. I

424
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: mean she paid me up school all the time. I

425
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: mean she was playing old school jams, you know, Heather Helly.

426
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people just these up and

427
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: all these people just they just Donnie Hath the way

428
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: they just listen. They just listen to them, and it

429
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,239
Speaker 1: kind of falls in line and did you make you

430
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: love the soul sound and the true appreciation of music

431
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: of r and being where highs transformed from then and now,

432
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: so she's always kept in the loop of that stuff

433
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: and then kind of just resonated with us. Your favorite

434
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: exercise in the weight room and your least favorite exercise

435
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: the weight room, what are they all? Right? So I

436
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: will definitely say my favorite bench is definitely my favorite. Obviously,

437
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: for the first time in six of these since the

438
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: season started, someone did not say squats. You're the first

439
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: guy that did not say everyone else, defense, offense, quarterbacks. First,

440
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: everybody has said squats, not you. Nah, NOA. I never

441
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 1: was a big squat guy coming up because I was smaller,

442
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: and then I had a lot of injuries coming up too,

443
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: so I wasn't able to squat okay, so obviously the

444
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: actrophy of the my legs and stuff like that, I

445
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: just couldn't get to certain numbers of everybody going in

446
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: there lifting five hundred. No, I've never been guy bench

447
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: me never really having much injuries besides my risk and stuff,

448
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: never really had issues with benching. So I always kind

449
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: of like the straight flat bench. I didn't I didn't lift.

450
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: I didn't lift like that in high school. But when

451
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: I was able to eclipse with two twenty five Mark,

452
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, I like benching all right, my least

453
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: favorite apps any day, but I would but I always

454
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: but I always get to it. I mean I have to.

455
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: We have that love hate relationship to where I'm so

456
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: frustrated with doing it actually helps me get through it.

457
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: And you know it's you know how important, it's beneficial.

458
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: You gotta do it about to get that going, and

459
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: everything else kind of falls in line. Huhatly. Okay, what's

460
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: the greatest invention ever? Greatest invention? Because I was about

461
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: I was just close about to say cell phone, but

462
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, there's a lot more things.

463
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: The light bulb. I'm going on that instantly. I also

464
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: would say cotton. But at the end of the day,

465
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: we can live, we can live with without that. But

466
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: I mean you can't see I mean, if it's nighttime,

467
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: you can't see without a light bulb. So I would

468
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: definitely say the light bulble, cotton. That's definitely fair enough.

469
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: And final thing, which're gonna be for Halloween? Oh man,

470
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: So me and my girl we actually about to get

471
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: some costumes like seventies pretty much. I'm gonna have the

472
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: old school disco, you know, after all, I'm doing the

473
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: whole nine. I want to actually go all out for

474
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: this this Halloween this time, because I just kind of

475
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: put on the side a little bit last year, you know,

476
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: just trying to get the field for the league. You know,

477
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: obviously with COVID and stuff like that, we couldn't really

478
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: do too much. Obviously, we dressed up a little bit

479
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: with me and my girl, my dog. But other than that,

480
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to I want to go all

481
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: out with this one. That'd be fun, you know, And

482
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: if you need any help on the hair part, you

483
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: could consult David Culley. Are right, did you see you've

484
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: seen the picture for the sevens? Right, go ahead and

485
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: hook a brother up. Whatever. Well, John, we really do

486
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: appreciate the time. This has been a Drews dozen. It's

487
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: always cool talking with this guy, Jonathan Grenard, so appreciate

488
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: that is due that dude is the best, ile claimed

489
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: having the very first interview with him back at the

490
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl before we even knew he was gonna be

491
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: a Texan. But he is a fantastic guy, fantastic player.

492
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: I think Sunday marked sort of hopefully the arrival like this.

493
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: This is when John Garnard turns into that guy that

494
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: we see every single week. Man, if we see the

495
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: guy that we saw against the Patriots this week against

496
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: the Colts and that can he used to stack and

497
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: stack and stack, we're gonna end up having one of

498
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: the better edged players in the AFC South out of minimum.

499
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: So looking forward to seeing what Jet does on Sunday

500
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: against the Indiapolis Coats. Now, what are the keys to

501
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: a win over the Indianapolis Coats. Well, I'm gonna tell

502
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: you next right here on Texans All Access All Access

503
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:27,040

Speaker 1: at Dyken. All right, welcome back to the show, and

515
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: it's time for my keys to the game against Indianapolis

516
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: Colts on Sunday. So queue up my music and let's rock.

517
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with the Texans defense against this Colts offense.

518
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: It's an offense that's averaging one hundred and fourteen yards

519
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: on the ground, that's fourteenth in the NFL. Two hundred

520
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: forty nine yards through the air that's per game, that's fifteenth.

521
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: Three hundred sixty three point four yards per game, that's

522
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: seventeenth in the league. So nothing great, nothing horrible. But

523
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is starting to hit his stride and that

524
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: is the very first key. Last week against Baltimore, the

525
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: Ravens could not, did not, shall not, should not, could not, can't,

526
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: whatever word you want to use with the word not,

527
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: made the picture cloudy for Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz did

528
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: what he wanted, when he wanted, how he wanted. He

529
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: didn't really have much pressure. I think he got sacked twice.

530
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,719
Speaker 1: It was for a total of five yards. They didn't

531
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: pressure went at all. And it's not even so much

532
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: about the pressure. It's about making the picture cloudy, to

533
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: make him pull the ball down, like, whoa what did

534
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: I just see? One time? Two times? A couple of

535
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: times of doing that, maybe it starts to pull on

536
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: his confidence. But right now Wentz is full on confident

537
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: and that's a scary, scary thing. Number two Taylor two time.

538
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: That means Jonathan Taylor. This guy has gone from being

539
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: a nice, complimentary piece to Marlon mack or Naim Hines

540
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: to being the focal point of the offense. With four

541
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: three eight speed, he could take it to the house

542
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: when he gets a step, and the Texans can't afford

543
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: to give him a step. He's two hundred and thirty

544
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: pounds at four three eight speed. He's a monster and

545
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: he runs me. On that offensive line, they'd do a

546
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: great job of getting him. Seems the Texans have to

547
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: take those away and then tackle him. Yeah. I know

548
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: it sounds simple, but they've got to tackle that man repeatedly,

549
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: and that is not easy. When he did not have

550
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: success in college, it was because defenses did a great

551
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: job taken away his runway. If he gets downhill on

552
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: you forget it. They're gonna be some guys how to

553
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: make business decisions, and that's not good. Shut down the gaps,

554
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: make him stop his feet the line of scrimmage and

555
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: then gang tackle him all day. Number three t Y Hilton.

556
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: Will he or won't he? We'll see on Sunday. Number four.

557
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: This Colt's offensive line is about as banged up as

558
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: the Texans is. There's no Anthony Costanzo. He retired, so

559
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: it's Eric Fisher still recovering from an achilles injury. In

560
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. You've got Chris a guy really nobody's heard

561
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: of but does a really nice job at left guard.

562
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: But he's not Quenton Nelson. Ryan Kelly's one of the

563
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: best centers of the game. He's still there. Right guard

564
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: Mark Golinski as a grinder, and right tackle is not

565
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: Braden Smith. This week, it's gonna be former Texan Julian Davenport,

566
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: who went back in four years ago was but I

567
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: should say three years ago struggle mightily at left tackle.

568
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: Now he's at right tackle. He's played well, but it's

569
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: not Braden Smith. This offensive line for the Colts has

570
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: had its better days, and the defensive front for the

571
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: Texans got to take advantage of it more so than

572
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: they did last week against doing a Patriots. The Patriots

573
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: did a great job with their play action game to

574
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: draw linebackers in and throw over the top, which gave

575
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: mac Jones the opportunity to get rid of the ball

576
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: quickly and the offensive line to not have to protect

577
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: for a while. The Texans to gotta win on first

578
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: and second down to put third down in long situations.

579
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: In the playiff Carson Wentz with an offensive line, it's

580
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: banged up. If they don't get the third and long,

581
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a nightmare of a day. If they

582
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: get the third and long, there's gonna be an opportunity

583
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: to make them clouded for Wentz and really frustrate this

584
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: offensive line. That's where you want to beat. And last

585
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: it certainly not least. I call this key Hins fifty seven.

586
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: And the reason I call it that is, hey, it's

587
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: dad joke because of Hinds fifty seven sauce, but also

588
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: because it feels like there are about fifty seven different

589
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: ways that Naim Hines hurts you. Screens, kickoff returns, punt returns, handoffs,

590
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: long tosses, whatever you know, throwing the ball to through

591
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: him out of the back but this guy has found

592
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: ways to hurt the Texans over the years, and it

593
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: drives me insane. Naim Hines is a major problem, and

594
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: he's a major problem in a number of different ways.

595
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: The Texans have to find ways to limit his production,

596
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: which isn't going to be easy, but I think he

597
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: is a major problem for this Texans defense. Going forward,

598
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: all right's flip throw over to the Texans offense facing

599
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: a defense that is fourteenth in the NFL. Give him

600
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and eight yards on the ground, their twentieth

601
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL and give up two hundred and sixty

602
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: one yards per game through the air, and their eighteenth

603
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: allowing three hundred sixty nine point two yards per game.

604
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: Those numbers were all inflated this week because of what

605
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson did to him. Now, can Davis Bills do

606
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: the same thing? Oh? God, I hope so. But it's

607
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: gonna be difficult because well, let's just it's gonna be

608
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: difficult to throw up a four hundred forty yards against

609
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: the defense that is thought to be pretty good. It

610
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: hasn't played extremely well, but it is a pretty good unit.

611
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: So what do the Texans gotta do? Number One, They

612
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: gotta buck the trend. They gotta find a way to

613
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: block the Forest Buckner upfront. This guy's a major problem,

614
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 1: huge problem figuratively and literally. He is massive and he

615
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: creates a lot of problems inside because of his length.

616
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: Now he hasn't been as much of an issue this year,

617
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: but last year in the two matchups, he had five sacks,

618
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: seven QB hits, and four TFLs in two games. He

619
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: really hasn't gotten that production this year through five games.

620
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: The Texans have got to keep him in that in

621
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: that rut if you will to have success Number two.

622
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: The pass rush for the Colts will get a boost

623
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: this week with Quitti pay coming back and being close

624
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: to full health, as close as he's gonna be, and

625
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: they need it because Tomico Terrey is hurt, Justin Houston

626
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: is playing for the Balta Ravens and it's not quite

627
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: the same as what the Colts have had the past.

628
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: The Texans offense has got to take advantage of that.

629
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: If they're not going to get pressure like they didn't

630
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: on Lamar, and they don't get pressure on Davids Mills,

631
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: and Davis is going to be able to deal hopefully

632
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: and throw to receivers that make plays after the catch.

633
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: Number three Darius Leonard I think is one of the

634
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: better linebackers in the league, but not because of the

635
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: way that he goes and finds and tackles the football,

636
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: but it's the fact that he goes and gets the football.

637
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: Throughout his three plus year career, he has ten force fumbles,

638
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: seven fumbel recoveries, and eight interceptions in six regular season games.

639
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: Against the Texans, He's had an interception in three force fumbles.

640
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: He gets the football, he pulls it out, he knocks

641
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: it out, he intercepts it. Fifty three. You have to

642
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: account for in those ways. Number four, the secondary could

643
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: be a mass unit, Rocky Scene could be back. Carry

644
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: Willis has been banged up, but I think he's ready

645
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: to go. Anderson dejo is out, Xavier Rhodes is questionable,

646
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson's shredded him for four hundred forty two yards.

647
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: Davis Mills going against a fully healthy secondary last week

648
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: through for three hundred twelve yards against the Patriots. I'm

649
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: hoping that he gets closer to the Lamar number this

650
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: week against that Colts secondary. And speaking of Mills, last

651
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: is certainly not least Comfortability Part four. The more comfortable

652
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: that Davis gets, the earlier, the better he is. You

653
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: saw it last week against the Patriots. He got comfortable early,

654
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: long first drive and away you go. Get him comfortable

655
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: early and then it's time to rock. All right, we

656
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: get back. It's a little Chris Conley with deep suited.

657
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: This is fantastic or so good? We split up into

658
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: two parts. Part one. His decks art Aaron Texans All Access.

659

666
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: Friday edition of Texas to All Access. Glad you're here

667
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: with me and we are hanging together. I am John

668
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: Harris Football, I know a sideline reporter and it's time

669
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: for our deep Slant Interview of the week. Now, this

670
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: was so glorious that we got the opportunity to break

671
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: get into two different segments. DPCITYO set down with Chris Conney,

672
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: and when I heard she was interviewing Chris, I thought

673
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: about this. I thought, man, I might be able to

674
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: get a whole show. Well, I'm gonna get a couple

675
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: of segments and that's good enough. But Chris Conley is

676
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: absolutely fabulous on the mic, and so is dpcity. So

677
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: they set out and chopped it up about pretty much everything.

678
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: This is fantastic stuff. Let's hear from deep and Wide

679
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: Receiver Chris Conley if the Deep Plant one on one

680
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: presented by Xfinity my guest today, Wide Receiver Chris Conley.

681
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: Chris had a big week. Not only did you score

682
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: your first touchdown as a Houston Texan, you became a dad.

683
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: So congratulations on both fronts. Thank you so much. Yeah,

684
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: it was a lot going on last week, but thankfully

685
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: everybody here in the building helped me with that, with

686
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: the whole process and even preparing for a game through

687
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: that while being back and forth from the Hospital's got

688
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: a good group of guys here and a good staff,

689
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: and I was able to get ready for that game.

690
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: Didn't quite have the outcome that we wanted, but I'm

691
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: excited for the future what this team could do. Yeah,

692
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: we're excited to see you as what we saw a

693
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,719
Speaker 1: lot of you in camp. And then, you know, throughout

694
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: these last few games, it seems like you were getting

695
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: closer and closer than you finally get that big touchdown

696
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: call the flee flicker. Have you ever had a flee

697
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: flicker touchdown before or was that your first? Um? I

698
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: think that might be my first. I've had a couple

699
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: that could have been called. For some reason, a flee

700
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: flicker is a really hard play to pull off. There's

701
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: a lot of things that have to happen. There's a

702
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: timing that everybody on the offense has to be on it,

703
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: and you can't really see the other people when they're deciding, okay,

704
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: it's time to turn it back into a pass play.

705
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: And for some reason, you know, the way that we

706
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: practiced it, in the way that we executed it, it

707
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: kind of end up being that perfect timing, that perfect

708
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: balance we were able to make that play work. It

709
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: seems like that would be up from a receiver's point

710
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: of view, that that would be a stressful to be on.

711
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: That'd be a little bit more stressful than just say,

712
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: a normal touchdown, because you're like you're saying, there's a

713
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: lot of things that have to happen just right. I

714
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: think that you know, on any play where a receiver

715
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, catches the ball or scores a touchdown, there's

716
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: a lot of things that have to happen. The protection

717
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: has to hold up, the quarterback has to see you

718
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: and deliver a good ball. You have to run a

719
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: good route. So there's a lot of things that go

720
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: on on every play. But yes, a flee flicker even

721
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: it compounds that even more. But the fact that we

722
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: were able to pull that one off, especially with us

723
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 1: putting that in in such a short amount of time,

724
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: is good for the guys that we have in that

725
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: offensive room. What about for you personally, what's the craziest

726
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: touchdown you've ever been a part of at any level?

727
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: The craziest touchdown that I've been a part of. Oh,

728
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: this is such a bad answer, but I'm gonna do it.

729
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 1: My first playoff touchdown was actually here kidding in twenty fifteen.

730
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: I was playing for the Chiefs at the time. I

731
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: remember that game, yes, and the I think it was

732
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: maybe the third quarter of that game. I was put

733
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: in the game on a play that I didn't rep

734
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: all week to play that I was told wasn't mine,

735
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: it was for somebody else and that guy couldn't run it,

736
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: I guess at the time. And so I ran a

737
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: play that I hadn't practiced or you know, had no

738
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: experience with, and caught the ball and I just remember

739
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: just the sounds and the lights and everything. Playoff football

740
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: is something that's uniquely special, and I'll always remember that moment. Well.

741
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: That brings up an interesting question because with the with

742
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: the touchdown that you did catch, was that a play

743
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: that you had that was in practice for several weeks

744
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 1: or did it just sort of pop up that week?

745
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: Had you been waiting for that play to be called?

746
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: Or is that just something that during that week you

747
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: sort of knew that was going to be the week.

748
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: Bit that was a that was a week. That was

749
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: a play that was put in last week. That was

750
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: a play that was put in specifically for that game. Now,

751
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: there are plays that you have drawn up sometimes and

752
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: you don't get to them on the call sheet, and

753
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: those will carry over from week to week until they

754
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: get called. But then you also have some plays that

755
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: are kind of drawn up in the dirt as the

756
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: week goes on and say, hey, this will be a

757
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: good play. You got to get everyone on the same page.

758
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: You don't have that many times to rep. Some plays

759
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: you don't even rep. You know there could be here.

760
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: I've seen trick plays before that you didn't even get

761
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: to rep in practice, but you just called them and

762
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: they worked. And so it's being on the same page

763
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: with the guys that you're playing with, having a good

764
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: feel and sense for how you're trying to affect the defense,

765
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: and then getting the ball in the right person's hands.

766
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: All right. So one of the first things that I

767
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: learned about you when you signed with the Texans went

768
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: I write the series called Get to Know, And just

769
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: in a very cursory search of you, saw your film Retribution,

770
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: the Star Wars fan film that you made at Georgia.

771
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: So I learned very quickly that you're a big Star

772
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: Wars buff. So I watched it. It's twenty six minutes.

773
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 1: It feels like a short feature film. It's pretty intense.

774
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: You've got Stormtroopers, you've got battle scenes, you've got special effects,

775
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: you've got cameos, you've got extras. How long did something

776
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: like that take for you to put together. You wrote it,

777
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: directed it, and started it right too long. It took

778
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: me too long. I think that the whole the idea

779
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: gathering process for that probably took me a month and

780
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 1: a half. At that point, I didn't know anything about

781
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: writing scripts, and so it was really just an outline

782
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: of what I wanted to happen. Then after that it

783
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: was more of the idea of Okay, I wanted to

784
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: have these sort of choreographed fights that were in it,

785
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: and so then that took Finding the people who would

786
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: be involved in that took me another month, and choreographing

787
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: and practicing those fights took another month, and then putting

788
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: together gathering these groups of people and finding the people

789
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: who had the knowledge that I didn't have at the

790
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,439
Speaker 1: time to make something like that happen. So all in all,

791
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: that process probably took six to eight months, and I

792
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: learned a lot from it. You know, they'd say, if

793
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 1: you don't look back at your earlier films and cringe,

794
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: then you didn't do it right. But I I that's

795
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: like the number one thing that people when they talk

796
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 1: about my love for like storytelling or filmmaking, that's the

797
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: number one thing that they bring up because obviously that

798
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: was my first one, and it's also it kind of

799
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: went viral back then. But I just it makes me cringe.

800
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: What makes you cringe about I thought it was I

801
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 1: thought that was for a college student to put something

802
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: like that together. I expected far less, to be honest,

803
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,280
Speaker 1: because it was a college production. But it seems pretty

804
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: high quality. It's I mean, I don't know how much

805
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: money you had and how much time you had to

806
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 1: do it, But what makes you cringe about it? None? Really,

807
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: But it's the fact that what I know now about

808
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: storytelling and being efficient with the time that you have

809
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 1: a viewer. Obviously it's twenty six minutes long. I didn't

810
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: know anything about what a short film is. You want

811
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: to keep a short film under fifteen feature? Oh yeah,

812
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: it's definitely. I've I crossed the line. I crossed the

813
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: line big time. But there were so many ideas that

814
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: I had that I put all of my ideas into

815
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: the film. And one of the things that you learn

816
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: as you mature as a writer and as a creator,

817
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: and um, there's a saying and they say, it's like

818
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: killing your little babies, and it's like all the little

819
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: all the little things that you love, all the little

820
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: ideas that you think are so cool. When it comes

821
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: to a project, you have to learn how to get

822
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: rid of them. You have to learn how to cut

823
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: them out. You have to cut all the excess and

824
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: the fat off the bone and really just leave the

825
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: meat there and get to the point and grab grab

826
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: a viewer's attention, keep that attention, and tell a short

827
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: story in as short time as possible, and then get out.

828
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: And so that's that's really what good filmmaking is. Good

829
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: filmmaking can tell. Great filmmaking can tell so many storylines

830
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: in a short amount of time, in a concise amount

831
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: of space. And that's really what I've been working on

832
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: and learning. And when I watched that, it's just it's

833
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: just idea vomit and it's just all over. Maybe you

834
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 1: needed an editor, you needed someone with, you know, an

835
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: objective point of view. I had an editor. I didn't

836
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: edit that video that your editor loved all your babies too,

837
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: I take it, yeah, put everything in there. At that point,

838
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to operate a camera myself. At

839
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 1: that point, I didn't know how to I could use

840
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: basic editing software. I didn't know anything about tempo or

841
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: anything like that. So editing and color grading work something

842
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: that I did, so I had other people doing all

843
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: of that, and when I saw things at the end,

844
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: I just had you know, some basic Oh well, I

845
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: don't really like how long this is or how long,

846
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: but it wasn't really in depth. Now, when I when

847
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: I do a film, I'd either like to get sent

848
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: every single draft that comes from an editor, or I'd

849
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: like to be in the room with them as they're editing.

850
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: And because really your vision has to be it has

851
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: to be as close to that original vision that you

852
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: wrote as possible. And then also like you have to

853
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: be the person to when it comes down to it,

854
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: is willing to cut things short and say, hey we're

855
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: going over here, Hey we're lingering too long on this moment,

856
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: or in the rare chance that there is an artistic

857
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: moment that really happens that shines through on set, let

858
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: it breathe a little bit. And I feel like that

859
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: is something that as a director, for your vision, you

860
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: have to be there to say, because an editor might

861
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: have a completely different sense of what's going on on

862
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: the screen, and a small edit can completely change the

863
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: tone of a piece. These feel like nuanced. These feel

864
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: like very small, nuanced things that you just gather over time.

865
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: But it sounds to me like you want to direct again.

866
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: I want to make another movie again sometime in the future. Yeah,

867
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: is that what you think that you might do it again?

868
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: I've made I've done something creative every offseason that I've

869
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: been in the league, whether that's shooting a short film,

870
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: producing like the miniseries that we did here with the

871
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: comment Cravings, I've done something. I've probably shot at this point.

872
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: I think I've shot five or six short films since Retribution,

873
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: and every single time trying to tackle another hurdle. In

874
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 1: the filmmaking world. There's a lot of problems that arise

875
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: when you're trying to tell a story. There's so many

876
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 1: things that come up, and there's a lot of dues

877
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: and don'ts, And I like to try to tackle the

878
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 1: don'ts so that I can understand why it's a don't

879
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 1: and so I know, you know, if there comes a

880
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: time where I need to use that technique or need

881
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: to be in this situation, I've done it before and

882
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: I can tackle it. You know, things like show don't Tell.

883
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: I've done like entire short films that have no audio.

884
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: I've done a short film where I had no crew,

885
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 1: where I did it as a running gun, one man.

886
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: I set the camera, pulled the focus. I was in it.

887
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: I edited it, I colored it, I did everything. I've

888
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: done short film where I used anamorphix, big heavy, expensive

889
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: lenses that add to your you know, your time on

890
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,720
Speaker 1: set in the preparation, and I've I've tried to really

891
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: like push myself to learn more about even roles that

892
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: I might not be in charge of on set. You know,

893
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,720
Speaker 1: on a lot of my larger project projects, I'm just directing.

894
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm just the writer director. I don't have to pull focus.

895
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: I don't have to I'm not the gaffer. I don't

896
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: have to light things. But I did all of that

897
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: just so that I would have a greater knowledge base

898
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: for the next time that I'm on set, so I

899
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: can be maybe a little more technical when I'm talking

900
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: to my crew, I can be a little more sensitive

901
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: when I'm talking to my actors and coaching them through

902
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 1: a scene and trying to get their best performance. As

903
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: the dad of an actress, for those you don't know,

904
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: my daughter is out in LA trying to carve out

905
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: a career in acting, and it's been really cool to

906
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: kind of hear the things she gets to do and

907
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: all the kind of you know, acting fund that she

908
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: has and listen to Chris talk about is really really interesting.

909
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: In fact, we'll talk more about that next as we

910
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: continue with Chris Connelly and DP City. And there's a

911
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: former All Pro running back who actually was also involved

912
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: with Chris's movie production. I'll tell you who that is next, right, Aaron,

913
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: Texans All Access Arent, Texans All Access Arent, tex We

914
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 1: got one out of the books on this Friday edition

915
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: of Texans All Access. I'm your host, John Harris Football

916
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: anal silent reporter, so glad to be with you on

917
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 1: this tgi F edition of Texans All Access. And when

918
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: we left you, dpcito was chatting up Chris Connley about

919
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: a movie that he put together back when he was

920
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: at Georgia and it is Star Wars oriented. There's a

921
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: lot of there's a lot of stuff going on in

922
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 1: this particular interview with DP and Chris, and in such

923
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: a good way. There was also in All Pro running

924
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: back who was involved in this movie. And if you

925
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: guess Todd Gurley, you're absolutely correct. Here's deep and Chris.

926
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: I feel like, well, when I was watching Retribution, you

927
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: had Todd Gurley, he had a cameo, and you had

928
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: your coach in there, and it only it makes me

929
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: wonder if you did a film now, a Star Wars

930
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: sort of a film with your current Texans teammates, who

931
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: would you cast and in what role would you cast them?

932
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: I feel like you got some potential there in the

933
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: locker room. There's a lot of potential. There's there's tons.

934
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: I I don't think I would do it again per se,

935
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: but I'll because for the reason, everyone says that they

936
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: want to be in a film until they realize what

937
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: the call time is. You know, obviously, Retribution was my

938
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: first project. I was in college. I had nothing else

939
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,720
Speaker 1: to do. I could literally be out on campus shooting

940
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: all day and not eat and it'd be fine, and

941
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: call students had no problem with that. Now. But now,

942
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: when you have like actual crews, you have limits. You

943
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: got you got salaries, you got you know this, and

944
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: there's rules. So that's the reason call times are so early.

945
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: So everybody goes, I want to be I want to

946
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: be in your next film, and you tell them, okay,

947
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: the call time for extras is four thirty or five am,

948
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: and none of them show up. And you're not getting

949
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: paid either, because you're not getting you're not getting paid.

950
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: I have to put there's certain people I have to

951
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 1: pay that have to be there. You're not getting paid.

952
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: But um, who would I cast? Yeah, let's just say,

953
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 1: let's just say that they're all going, they're all really

954
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: willing to just show up at four in the morning

955
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: for call time. You don't have to pay them. They're

956
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: gonna happily do it. Who would who would you cast?

957
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:44,240
Speaker 1: Who would be your your leading protagonist, leading villain, your extras?

958
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: How would you star Wars characters? Let's villain, let's put

959
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: your let's put your teammates and staring. I'm going sith.

960
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: Lord is uh? The fifth Lord is definitely Tyrod, not

961
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: because he's a bad guy, but because he just has

962
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: the hair for it, right. He has very very dramatic

963
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 1: I call him Frederick Douglass all the time because he

964
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: takes out his braids. He's got the Frederick Douglas do

965
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: going on. And I can just I can already see

966
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: what I don't want make up to do with his

967
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: eyebrows and his you know, his beard, and stuff. I

968
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 1: can make Tyrod look like a menace, and so I

969
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: would definitely have him as you know, like the old

970
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: sith Lord pulling the strings and things like that. If

971
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: I had to find uh, I think my my comedic

972
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: relief would definitely be mark Ingram would be mark Ingram.

973
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what I would do with Mark. I

974
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: might just for comedic relief. I might make Mark a

975
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: Jawa or Mark an e walk just because he's hilarious.

976
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 1: The fact that people would know that's mark Ingram under

977
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: there would just make it funny more funny. I guess

978
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: you know I could do uh, man, this is there's

979
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 1: there's so many there's so many, so many options, uh

980
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: and things that you could do. You need your you

981
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: need your gun slinger, your your young gun. Uh you

982
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: know we could put we can make Han Solo could

983
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 1: be Davis. Davis could be the Haunter Okay five character.

984
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't talk enough for that though, so you got

985
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: to know the personalities a guy. Yeah, Davis doesn't talk

986
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: a lot. He's not the smooth the smooth talker. We'll go.

987
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: We could go Justin Reid for Solo. Yeah, we can

988
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: do We're just swapping him out. Yeah, Justin will swap

989
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: him out. He's got to be the silent the silent type. Yeah, Pharaoh.

990
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 1: Pharaoh could be uh, Chewbacca because they're the same sigh. Technically. Yeah,

991
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's a lot of there's a lot

992
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: of Luke ways. We could go at that. Luke Skywalker man,

993
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,280
Speaker 1: that's tough. Luke Darth Vader. You've got some that is tough.

994
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: I mean, so, I am one percent a fan of originality.

995
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: If you're going to make even a fan film of

996
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: an established IP such as Star Wars, you shouldn't use

997
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 1: established characters. The universe is so big that you do

998
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: it a disservice by recasting an icon instead of telling

999
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 1: a new story. Oh okay, of someone, Just create new stories,

1000
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: creating news stories, create new characters. That's what I'm hoping

1001
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: that they're going to do with the you know, the

1002
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: company that actually owns the IP, because there's there's so

1003
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: many great things that could happen, and I think the

1004
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 1: best way to respect it and to respect Star Wars

1005
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: fans is to tell new stories. And I'd think that

1006
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 1: you know what you've seen from these Disney Plus shows,

1007
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, the Mandalorian and things have really really shown

1008
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: that And that's my that's my serious Star Wars fan talking.

1009
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 1: Then well, okay, so I have a serious Star Wars

1010
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: question for you. So when you go for people that

1011
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: haven't watched any of it, there's always this discussion of

1012
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: what order, what's the order do you watch it in?

1013
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I have my opinion on I'm sure you

1014
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,919
Speaker 1: have yours. Do you watch it in chronological order, as

1015
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: in how the series of events actually happened, or do

1016
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: you watch it in the order of release. Do you

1017
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: watch all the movies first and then watch the shows

1018
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: or do you intersperse the TV shows into the movies

1019
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: into some sort of timeline there. So I'll put it

1020
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: this way, the shows always need to come after the

1021
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: movies because the shows can introduce things and concepts that

1022
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: you don't understand at all. Now. The only exception to

1023
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 1: that is The Mandalorian. It can kind of stand alone

1024
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: on its own. It is a space western, it is

1025
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: a gun slingers show. So you can watch it all

1026
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 1: on its own and know nothing about stars, right, You're

1027
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: just watching a Western. But all the other TV shows

1028
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: you need to have a little bit of contacts with

1029
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: those contacts with those Now, when it comes to the films,

1030
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: I always break it down this way. If you are

1031
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: a person who appreciates the art and the history of

1032
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: the film industry, I'd say watch them in the order

1033
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,439
Speaker 1: that they came out, because each of the movies were

1034
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: absolutely groundbreaking and revolutionary for their time. It came to

1035
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: the effects, when it came to storytelling, everything, the visuals,

1036
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,479
Speaker 1: the music, it was all, it was all. It's so

1037
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: ahead of its time and it connected with a whole generation.

1038
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: So if you appreciate the art of film, watch them

1039
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: in the order that they were made, and you'll learn

1040
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: a lot about where certain techniques came from. You'll learn

1041
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: a lot about where other influences in sci fi and

1042
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: action in drama, where they were gleaned from Star Wars,

1043
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: which gleaned from Dune. Okay, side, well, I agree with

1044
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: you because I think that there's certain surprises that when

1045
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 1: the movies came out, the fans were shocked and surprised,

1046
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: and I think if you watch it out of order,

1047
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: you won't have that same reaction that some of us

1048
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 1: have when we watched the This is the only caveat though,

1049
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 1: if you're not someone who respects the art and the

1050
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:49,839
Speaker 1: history of film. I would say watch them in the

1051
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: order that they happen, which is watching the episode one, two, three,

1052
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: because I feel like some people don't give it the

1053
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: time to get into the story. If they're watching an

1054
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: old movie and they don't appreciate old movies for what

1055
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: they are, they go, why am I watching this? Like

1056
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,720
Speaker 1: I don't even understand what's happening. Get to the action,

1057
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: And really, those movies weren't about the action. They did

1058
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: have ground baking action, they did have industrial line magic,

1059
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: did have these groundbreaking you know, v effects scenes and

1060
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: all of these things, but like, it wasn't about that.

1061
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 1: It was about the story. It was about the characters

1062
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: and their development. And so if you don't appreciate that,

1063
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: definitely watch the new ones because they will grab you

1064
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: with the action and you will be able to glean

1065
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: a little bit from the story, and maybe after watching

1066
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 1: those three then you'll be interested enough to say, Okay,

1067
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: well let's see what happens after that, you know, and

1068
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: then they'll stay they'll stay connected. But really, like the

1069
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: getting into the Star Wars fandom for a lot of

1070
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:52,399
Speaker 1: people is about being at the impressionable age where those

1071
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: movies could take you somewhere far from here, and you

1072
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 1: can learn things about morality. You can learn things about

1073
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: the struggle between good and evil. You can learn things

1074
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 1: about being enough in a world that sometimes doesn't think that,

1075
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 1: or from the outside will say that you're not. You know,

1076
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: and that that right there connects with a lot of people.

1077
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: That's deep stuff, Chris, that's really such a fandom around it,

1078
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: all right. You all you've always been into sci fi

1079
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: and science. And I read somewhere that you when you

1080
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 1: were in third grade one a science science fair competition.

1081
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: Do you remember what your project was? Yeah, So it

1082
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: was for a science fair. And I was one of

1083
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: the kids who really hated science fair. Really I didn't.

1084
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,720
Speaker 1: I didn't want to spend a week of my life

1085
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: preparing you know, they had those cardboard fold out yeah, yeah,

1086
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: yeah things. I didn't want to go home. It's not

1087
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: a project and do something, make a presentation about something

1088
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: that one hundred kids before me had done. And so

1089
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: I was looking for any loophole that I could find

1090
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 1: not to make a presentation about something that everyone already

1091
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: knew about. Okay, And one of the loop polls I

1092
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: found was in the fine print it said or an invention.

1093
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: You know, so you invented something it was about, Yeah,

1094
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: it was about a process or and it said or invention.

1095
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: They really didn't want you doing inventions. Most people were making,

1096
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: you know, volcanos or talking about But I basically took

1097
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: the part where it said an invention and I looked

1098
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 1: for a problem in our world to solve it. And

1099
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 1: that was at the time where razors scooters were the

1100
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: biggest thing. That doesn't seem that long ago. Okay, you

1101
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: were in third grade when that happened. Everyone was riding

1102
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 1: Razors scooters, those metal scooters that when they hit you

1103
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,439
Speaker 1: in the shin you got a big knight and hurt. Yeah,

1104
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 1: everybody was riding those. And I noticed that everyone in

1105
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: my col de sac, all the kids had them, even

1106
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 1: if they had like you know, the off brand, the

1107
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: cheap ones, everybody had a scooter. And that was just

1108
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: the mode of transportation. I'm going to Jimmy's house, I'm

1109
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: taking my scooters. And they could literally walk across the

1110
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: lawn to Jimmy's house, but they rode the scooters. When

1111
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,720
Speaker 1: they would get there, they would just drop the scooter

1112
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: on the round and go into or something. So there

1113
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: were scooters all over the lawns, and I was like,

1114
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: you know what, they need scooter racts, just like they

1115
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 1: have bike racks. Oh, and so I made it was

1116
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: a really primitive you know, obviously I was no carpenter

1117
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: or builder. I made a primitive scooter act that you

1118
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,879
Speaker 1: could slide your scooter in, you know, with your handlebars,

1119
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: and it would just go in here and it would

1120
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: stay upright. Oh, I thought you're gonna say you invented

1121
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: a kickstand for the scooter. But that's even better. So

1122
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: that the science fair, well, it wasn't a science fair

1123
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: that I want. It actually was submitted by one of

1124
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: the teachers at my school to the National Young Inventors

1125
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 1: Program competition every year where they take inventions across the

1126
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: country and they basically try to identify young innovators and

1127
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: basically support them, give them an opportunity to continue to

1128
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: devote their idea and basically and they get a small

1129
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: scholarship and basically say hey, don't stop inventing. This is

1130
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 1: how you know our country basically moves industries forward. So

1131
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:04,280
Speaker 1: I one that I was the Craftsman NSTA Young Inventors Program,

1132
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 1: and I was one of eight finalists This makes so

1133
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 1: much more sense because I read the prize, which was

1134
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,839
Speaker 1: very a very random assortment of things to me because

1135
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 1: I thought it was a science for It was a

1136
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars savings bond, a trip to the Nationals

1137
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: to Chicago with your family, and then a visit with

1138
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: Bob Vila. Yeah of this old house, which I think

1139
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: as a third grader, did you know who Bob Vila

1140
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: because Bob Vila was in all the Craftsman commercials back well, yeah,

1141
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: every single Craftsman tool commercial and building this and that.

1142
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: So that's I knew who Bob Vila was. Were you

1143
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 1: super excited to meet? But do you remember meeting Bobula was?

1144
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 1: But I remember thinking like, man, my idea is okay,

1145
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what these other kids were. And

1146
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: boy was I right when I got there. These other

1147
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: kids inventions, Like I told you, I made like this

1148
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: little primitive. It was like a little block of wood

1149
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: and I had these like angled, you know, pieces of

1150
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: metal that were drilled into it that it was just

1151
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: wide enough for a scooter. And it was like, oh,

1152
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: like that's cute. And I'm watching like these other kids.

1153
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: This one kid like invented like a way to like

1154
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: a machine to automatically. I think it was like to

1155
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: water crops or something like that. I'm like, wow, you're

1156
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: the same age as me. I was like, oh, yeah,

1157
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm in a room full of savants. And

1158
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:21,760
Speaker 1: I just was like, they're not going to be Razor

1159
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 1: scooters on your cul de sac anymore. So that was

1160
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 1: a huge problem at the time. Yeah, well, you know,

1161
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: the scooters aren't as big of a thing anymore, but

1162
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: I still do see. You know, these these bird and

1163
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,919
Speaker 1: Lime scooters all over the ground were everywhere. They could

1164
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: have installed scooter rex all the way back then. We

1165
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 1: could still be using them. All right, So are you

1166
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 1: in a squid game? You know? I watched the first

1167
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: episode was it first episode of first two episodes last week,

1168
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 1: and I am intrigued. Now. The problem with that is

1169
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: is I want to binge watch it, but no, which

1170
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 1: I watched the first episode with my wife and she

1171
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: just had a kid. It's not really timing up with

1172
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 1: the ability to binge watch it, and I know she's

1173
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: going to be upset if I will watch it. Oh

1174
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: you can't watch it without watch If I started it

1175
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: with If I would have started it without her, I'd

1176
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 1: be already done right now. So you're a fan, I

1177
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: take I am you like it? Okay, yeah, I am.

1178
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: I I think it's I think it's great. I think

1179
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 1: some people don't like watching foreign shows and films and

1180
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: they don't like subtitles and they don't like Well, I

1181
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 1: didn't think that was I thought the issue with Squid

1182
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: Game wasn't so much the subtitles as it was the gore.

1183
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 1: From what I understand, just from what I've heard about it,

1184
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: I don't mind it, don't mind it. The premise is

1185
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: interest Like for people that don't know, it's it's basically

1186
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: a childhood game that you play and if you if

1187
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:40,919
Speaker 1: you fail, if you fail, you die. It's pretty easy.

1188
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: So what what what? What would be your squid game

1189
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 1: of choice? What would be your game of a childhood

1190
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 1: game of choice? I don't know. I haven't watched the

1191
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: whole I haven't watched the whole first season yet, so

1192
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't really If you have a game from your

1193
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: childhood that you think that you would bet on yourself

1194
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: that you would win that game, I mean, I think

1195
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: that the whole idea of childhood games, it's just and

1196
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: I think this is where the show really succeeds is

1197
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: the whole idea of the fact that when you when

1198
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: you played childhood games as a kid, you didn't really

1199
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: fear anything. You know, when you were a kid, you

1200
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,919
Speaker 1: thought you were invincible. You jumped off the jungle gym,

1201
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: you know, playing the floor's lava. You know, you you

1202
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: would climb across the highest part because the floor was lava.

1203
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: But you were literally fearless and really playing with the

1204
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: idea of something that we relate to in such a

1205
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 1: such an area of comfort and then flipping it on

1206
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: its head and making it dangerous. I think that's one

1207
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: of the psychological bits of that show that just makes

1208
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: it so intriguing to everyone. But I feel like, if

1209
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: I had to pick ah, that's scary. I loved I

1210
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: love playing dodgeball. I feel like, if you're playing squid

1211
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: game dodgeball, you're gonna die. Well, you're a professional football player,

1212
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: so you do have a leg up on your competition now,

1213
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,479
Speaker 1: you know. I'm in my mind when I think about

1214
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: playing dodgeball, I'm thinking about playing with dodgeball with other

1215
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 1: people like me, and that's that's a tough game dodgeball.

1216
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking about playing. I'm pretty sure that you're representing. Yeah,

1217
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: you're also a receivers though ten other mes. Yeah, that

1218
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 1: is not a bet I want to take. Or if

1219
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: I'm playing dodgeball and squid Game with the guys in

1220
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: this locker room and it's not just the lineman, I'm

1221
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: not taking that bet. Yeah, just people are too athletic.

1222
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 1: At this point, that makes sense to me. I'm thinking

1223
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: in society, you'd probably you'd probably do pretty well with

1224
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 1: squid game dodgeball. I had to guess, Hey, when when

1225
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 1: your life's on the line. All right, Chris, Well, you

1226
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 1: mentioned the baby, So I have to ask you what's

1227
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: surprised you most. I know it's early on, but anything

1228
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: really stand out to you or surprise you about being

1229
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 1: a dad so far? I think I would say the

1230
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: fact that she's very attentive. She's very like I get.

1231
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 1: I get the best I tell people, I get the

1232
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 1: best parts of the baby. Because when I come home,

1233
00:59:56,320 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: she's just awake, eyes open, not crying, not screaming, nothing.

1234
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 1: She just wants to sit there and hang out. But

1235
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: I have help. You know. My my sister was here,

1236
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: my mother in law was here, and they have been

1237
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 1: watching the baby during the night. So I've been able

1238
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: to sleep at night and you know, do my recovery

1239
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 1: and get ready for practice. But I definitely was not

1240
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: expecting her to like have such a like one eighty change.

1241
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: You know, she goes from being like so cool, calm

1242
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: and everything's fine with dad, and then I, you know,

1243
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: get downstairs in the morning as I'm leaving and it's like, hey,

1244
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: how do you sleep? It's like she did it. You know,

1245
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: I've never seen her do that. She's just really so

1246
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: happy when I'm around. I don't know, she doesn't like

1247
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: if she cries around me, it's for like just like

1248
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes and then just then it's just cool.

1249
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 1: She's just chilling. Wow. Yeah. But then like she's apparently

1250
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 1: she's up all night. Well you're sleeping, so you wouldn't.

1251
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 1: You just have to take everyone else's word for it

1252
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: that she was Yeah, good for you for getting some

1253
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,919
Speaker 1: sleep though she's but she's been and she's been great.

1254
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 1: She's wide eyed and beautiful. All right, Well, congratulations, great week.

1255
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 1: Can't wait to see what the rest of the season

1256
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: has in store. And you know what, I'm gonna have

1257
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 1: to hit you up again when some of these Star Wars,

1258
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:14,919
Speaker 1: these prequels and sequels come out and get your thoughts

1259
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 1: on him. I know I'm terrified, but I hope to

1260
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: ask you. I'm such a fan that I'm actually I'm

1261
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: hopeful with you know, with the leadership that they've kind

1262
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: of allowed to do their thing now, letting directors tell

1263
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: their stories instead of telling a director what story to tell,

1264
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:38,919
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's a good model for filmmaking.

1265
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: I hope that they continue to do that. Let people

1266
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: tell the stories. You know, you brought him in to

1267
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 1: tell a story. Let him tell it. I like it.

1268
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: He's very hopeful and optimistic about Star Wars. Yeah, good

1269
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: to know. All right, Thanks Chris, thank you so much

1270
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: for the time, No problem, Thanks for having me. When

1271
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 1: we did our media days back before training camp started,

1272
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: I remember Chris walked in. You introduced himself to Mark

1273
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 1: and I we knew he was, but he introduced himself.

1274
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 1: We hit record and we just started firing questions at him,

1275
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 1: and before he knew it, we had about twenty minutes

1276
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 1: and Mark and I looked at each other when we

1277
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: were done and we're like, oh my gosh, he is awesome, awesome,

1278
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 1: and he is I mean, that interview is just fantastic.

1279
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 1: He is such a He's a unique guy with all

1280
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: the different things that he has done where he has been.

1281
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: I remember him telling us in our Media Days interview

1282
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: he had he would you know, he was a military brat,

1283
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: so he lived in so many different places and met

1284
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 1: so many different people. He's just a really unique guy

1285
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 1: and I and love him absolutely. Loving that interview was fantastic.

1286
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 1: So coming up next, it'll be me. I'm unique and

1287
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm fantastic too, or at least that's what my wife

1288
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: likes to tell me sometimes. But I don't know. Maybe

1289
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm not that unique and fantastic, But I do know

1290
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 1: NFL football and I do like to pick game straight

1291
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,439
Speaker 1: and against the spread, and I will do that next

1292
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: right here on Texans All Access. Yes, sir, we've reached

1293
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: my favorite segment of radio all week long, and that

1294
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 1: is NFL Picks and Predictions from yours truly, John Harris,

1295
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 1: football analyst, sideline reporter for your Houston Texans. This is

1296
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 1: always my favorite time because it's an opportunity for me

1297
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: talking about the games throughout the NFL. I don't get

1298
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: a lot of chance to do that and I'd love

1299
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 1: to do that. I love to look around in the NFL,

1300
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 1: and this is one of the best ways I can

1301
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 1: do it. Put myself out there, test myself, pick games,

1302
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 1: see what I know, and see how close I can

1303
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 1: get to picking all of these games. Now, there are

1304
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: a few teams on by. I know the Saints are

1305
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 1: gonna buy this week. I don't can't recall who else is.

1306
01:03:56,400 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 1: Maybe the Panthers. Look like the Panthers are playing Falcons. Maybe,

1307
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Falcons a Jets because they came back from London,

1308
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 1: so they're off this week. So Saints, Falcons, Jets. They're

1309
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:14,959
Speaker 1: all off. But we have got plenty of games going on,

1310
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 1: including last night's game Buccaneers twenty eight twenty two. And

1311
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: by the way, I've come up with a new theory

1312
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: that was confirmed last night. I've thought this before, but

1313
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 1: now I know it for a fact. If I've ever

1314
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: down fourteen in a game, I will automatically go for

1315
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: two after the first touchdown. I will do exactly what

1316
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles done. I think I've seen the Eagles do

1317
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:40,919
Speaker 1: this a number of times. Down fourteen, go for two.

1318
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 1: If you miss it, then you go for two a

1319
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: second time. You can still tie the game. You got

1320
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 1: two cracks basically tie the game, but if you hit

1321
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: on the first one, all you need is the extra

1322
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: point to win a game. At the very end, I

1323
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 1: thought when I got twenty eight twenty two, that was

1324
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: exactly what was going to happen on Thursday night. But

1325
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 1: it didn't, as the Buccaneer moved to five and one

1326
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 1: this year only lost being in the Rams. Eagles fall

1327
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: to two and four. Fun football game, bad taunting penalty.

1328
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: This whole thing with the taunting stuff is just it's ridiculous.

1329
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the NFL said it's gonna put an emphasis

1330
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 1: on it, so the players have got to adapt. Look,

1331
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: the players have adapted. Man, where am I gonna hit

1332
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 1: a guy? Where am I gonna hit him? I can't

1333
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: hit him high, cam Low, can't hit him anywhere. Well, players,

1334
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 1: NFL players have adapted to it. Well, guess what they're

1335
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: calling taunting in all this other garbage. So adapt to it.

1336
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 1: It's as simple as that. Because Quincy not Quincy Avery.

1337
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 1: Dennard Avery got nailed with a penalty last night that really,

1338
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, didn't cost them the Eagles a game,

1339
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: but it was not helpful in the fourth quarter, to

1340
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: say the least. Okay, let's move on to these games.

1341
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 1: Let's get my music and let's rock. Let's rock in London,

1342
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: eight thirty Central Time Kick Dolphins taken on the Jags.

1343
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: It does appear as if Tua Tonga by law is

1344
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: gonna be ready to go for this one for the Dolphins.

1345
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 1: What difference that makes? Not totally sure. The Dolphins just

1346
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 1: can't find a way to win defensively. When they're not

1347
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 1: blitzing or blitzing well, they get shredded. As Tom Brady

1348
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 1: showed last week, the Jags are still an underdog going

1349
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 1: to London. They're home away from home, and they're still

1350
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: an underdog. I'm not too surprised by that. Miami's only

1351
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: a three point favorite, but I'm gonna ride Miami here.

1352
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: I know Jacksonville's used to being in London, but quarterback

1353
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 1: and head coach, the two more supportant positions, seemingly are

1354
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 1: not used to it. I still think Tarbor plays well,

1355
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: but I think the Dolphins just a tad better. The

1356
01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins are gonna move to two and four and get

1357
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 1: a win. They're gonna cover the three, but not by much.

1358
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 1: Let's go twenty one seventeen Dolphins get one in London

1359
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 1: as both teams go into a bye next week. All Right,

1360
01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 1: the longest rivalry in the NFL is this one, and

1361
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 1: it takes place at Soldier Field as the green Bay Packers.

1362
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 1: The four and one green Bay Packers, having won four

1363
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 1: in a row, take on the Chicago Bears three and two.

1364
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 1: Justin Fields now QB one for the foreseeable future. Green

1365
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 1: Bay's favored at Chicago by six. It's about right with

1366
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 1: about where the teams have been playing. But I think

1367
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for the Bears to rise up.

1368
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bears win this game, but I

1369
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 1: think Justin Fields plays well. I think competitive great quarterbacks

1370
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 1: love to see a great quarterback on the other side,

1371
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 1: especially young dudes I want to prove themselves. I think

1372
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: Justin Fields will do whatever he's got to do to

1373
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:47,440
Speaker 1: win and impress. They'll fall short this Fields twenty eight,

1374
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty six, twenty four. I think Green Bay wins,

1375
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 1: this gets to five and one, but I think the

1376
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:58,439
Speaker 1: Bears keep it close. Bears to cover, Packers to win.

1377
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 1: Let's move on to the next NFC North team, and

1378
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: that is the Detroit Lions snoop Lion. No, not, that's

1379
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: complying the Detroit Lions. Oh and five. Two gut punch

1380
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 1: losses should actually be two and three. The Lions are

1381
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 1: taken on the Bengals. The Bengals had a gut punch

1382
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: last week. Evan McPherson is two game winning kicks. But

1383
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's favored by three and a half on the road.

1384
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 1: I knew the Lions have got to get a win.

1385
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 1: I just think the Bengals are better right now, and

1386
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 1: I can't go. I can't go against him. So I'm

1387
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 1: gonna say Cincinnati wins this thing. But you know I'm

1388
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:34,600
Speaker 1: gonna do. I'm gonna get the Lions the opportunity to

1389
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 1: cover this thing. I'm gonna split the middle on this.

1390
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give the Bengals the win, but the Lions

1391
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:42,439
Speaker 1: the cover. So if the Lions upset them, then I

1392
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: win kind of So Lions to cover, Bengals to win outright.

1393
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 1: Colts and Texas. Now pick against my heart in my

1394
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: head two one and four teams, I must win on

1395
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,720
Speaker 1: both sides. Any favored by ten. Like I said, I

1396
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 1: won't pick against my heart in my head. But you

1397
01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 1: know how I feel about all Texans games. Rams going

1398
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 1: to New York East Coast negative body clock game. This

1399
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 1: game is at one o'clock eastern, ten o'clock Pacific. That

1400
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 1: does have an impact? Does it have an impact? To

1401
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:17,639
Speaker 1: eight and a half points? That's what the Rams are favored?

1402
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think the Rams are just

1403
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: that much better than the Giants. I think the Rams

1404
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 1: come in and win this thing. It might be slow going,

1405
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 1: but they're eventually going to crank it up. I think

1406
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 1: this is thirty four to twenty. That's fourteen points for

1407
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:35,640
Speaker 1: the math challenged people out there. And look, I know

1408
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: there are many of you, and that's okay. I'm not

1409
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: looking down at you. Thirty four to twenty Rams win.

1410
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:45,640
Speaker 1: Rams cover two, two and three football teams in Washington.

1411
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:51,439
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Sheaves are taken on the Washington football team.

1412
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 1: It looks like the Washington football team, maybe without Terry McLaurin.

1413
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 1: That's horrible news. Casey's favored by seven. I think Casey

1414
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 1: goes nuts. I think this is the week where they

1415
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:04,000
Speaker 1: just start to unleash a little bit. But they don't

1416
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 1: make mistakes. That's what's been killing them. They have made

1417
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: a ton of mistakes and watched his defense is not

1418
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 1: playing well enough to create the mistakes. So We're going

1419
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: to Kansas City and win this thing. Thirty five twenty one.

1420
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 1: That's enough to cover the spread and give Kansas City

1421
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,800
Speaker 1: a win. The Vikings are taken on the Panthers. It's

1422
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 1: an interesting game. I remember watching this game in the

1423
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 1: offseason last year. Teddy Bridgewater is playing for the Panthers,

1424
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 1: and I just felt like there's so much that they

1425
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 1: left out on the field so much. The Vikings some good,

1426
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 1: some bad. Last week, they came from behind to get

1427
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 1: the victory with the last second field goal to beat

1428
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,759
Speaker 1: the Lions. They very easily could be one in four.

1429
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota's favored by two and a half on the road,

1430
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: not having it. Panthers are gonna win this thing at home.

1431
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna cover that two and a half. Panthers win

1432
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 1: in an upset at home. That line feels weird to me.

1433
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 1: So I'm going Panthers. Even though the Panthers have played

1434
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 1: sequingly well the last couple of weeks. We're going Panthers

1435
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:11,799
Speaker 1: one of, if not the game of the weekend. Justin

1436
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 1: Herbert Lamar Jackson, Mano Amano in Baltimore four and one

1437
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,600
Speaker 1: versus four and one. These two guys are arguably the

1438
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:26,559
Speaker 1: two hottest quarterbacks in the league right now, throwing, running

1439
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,680
Speaker 1: when they need to, carrying their teams. I mean, it's

1440
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 1: been incredible to watch these two play. It's in Baltimore,

1441
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna give the Ravens. The slight edge in

1442
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 1: the two and a half is just enough. I think

1443
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 1: this is Baltimore by three. This is thirty one, twenty eight,

1444
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 1: this is thirty four thirty one. I think the Ravens

1445
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 1: win another cliffhanger over Justin Herbert and the Chargers and

1446
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:52,679
Speaker 1: in the process cover that two and a half. Now,

1447
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 1: I would have said this next game, as we transition

1448
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 1: to our afternoon games, would be the game of the weekend. However,

1449
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 1: there's one big issue for the Browns as they take

1450
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 1: on the undefeated Arizona Cardinals, and that issue is Nick Chubb.

1451
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,759
Speaker 1: Chubb is out of this game. Now, the Browns running

1452
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:20,640
Speaker 1: game will not suffer completely. Cream Hunt is still a

1453
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 1: top of the top of the league back, but the

1454
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 1: one two punch is what puts teams to sleep that

1455
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 1: I don't think can happen. Cleveland's favored by three and

1456
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 1: a half in Cleveland. I have every ounce of my being,

1457
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 1: says Cardinals, because Chubb is out. But you know what,

1458
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna go with Cleveland in a close one

1459
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 1: and inside the three and a half, So Cleveland's gonna

1460
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 1: win this thing. Knock Arizona from the ranks of the undefeated,

1461
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 1: but they won't cover. Arizona will get inside that three

1462
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 1: and a half. Kyler Murray does just enough against his

1463
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: former OU teammate Baker Mayfield. Let's go Browns thirty five.

1464
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 1: I've thirty two, three point victory, but Arizona gets inside

1465
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:10,240
Speaker 1: that three and a half. Raiders Broncos. Now this one's

1466
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:13,880
Speaker 1: interesting because the Raiders now have Rich Biacci as their

1467
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 1: new head coach. The Broncos have lost two in a

1468
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:19,599
Speaker 1: row and it's not been pretty the last two weeks.

1469
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 1: To an interception in the back of the end zone

1470
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 1: on fourth down last week to have potential opportunity to

1471
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,439
Speaker 1: tie the game. Week before that, the Ravens ran all

1472
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 1: over to Broncos, even while they should have been taken

1473
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 1: a knee. I don't know which team to trust at

1474
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: all in this one. This would be one in Vegas

1475
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:38,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't touch at all. But in that case, I

1476
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:41,639
Speaker 1: am going with the Denver Broncos at home. It's about

1477
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 1: the only thing I feel. It's eight at home. I'll

1478
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 1: go with the Broncos. There a four point favorite, so

1479
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 1: let's go at Denver. Let's go a Denver to win

1480
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 1: this thing. Twenty eight twenty one. That covers the four.

1481
01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 1: I just don't trust either team. If you are going

1482
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 1: to Vegas, stay away from that one. I just don't

1483
01:13:57,160 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 1: love it. But I'll go Broncos at home. Cowboys v.

1484
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 1: Patriots in New England. Patriots return home after a comeback

1485
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 1: victory in Houston. The Cowboys come a call in and

1486
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are hot, four in a row, moving the

1487
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 1: ball on everybody. I think the Patriots are gonna have

1488
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 1: a very difficult time stopping at Cowboys. I think the

1489
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys win this by ten, thirty to twenty. I think

1490
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:22,080
Speaker 1: the defense does just enough to slow down Mac Jones.

1491
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:24,920
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys offense will just go great guns.

1492
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 1: I think this is thirty to twenty. Cowboys win on

1493
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 1: the road over the Patriots. Seahawks Steelers Sunday night, and

1494
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 1: not too excited about this one, but you know what,

1495
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 1: it's football, So who cares. We all love football, and

1496
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 1: we'll love this game too. It's just not as sexy

1497
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 1: as someone that we've seen. Seahawks go to the Steelers

1498
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 1: too and fair by five. I don't feel good about

1499
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 1: any of that. Russell Wilson being banged up, don't love it.

1500
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go Steelers because they're at home and

1501
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:51,439
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's out. So let's go Steelers to win by seven.

1502
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 1: That covers the five. Give the Steelers a win to

1503
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 1: get to five hundred. And then Monday Night Bills v. Titans.

1504
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 1: I think the Bills want this one as much as

1505
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:02,720
Speaker 1: they wanted that game against the Chiefs. They were embarrassed

1506
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,880
Speaker 1: last year in Tennessee on a Tuesday night. I think

1507
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:09,320
Speaker 1: the Bills trounced the Titans. All right, we got one

1508
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 1: segment laugh when we get backwat some Houston Methodist minutes

1509
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 1: and Jude Orty's final word this week with John Grenard.

1510
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:19,840
Speaker 1: That's next on Texans All Access. It's All Access. We

1511
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:22,839
Speaker 1: got one final segment of this edition of Texans All Access,

1512
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:27,760
Speaker 1: a TGIF edition of Texans All Access. I'm your host,

1513
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 1: John Harris, Football and US and sideline reporter. Now we

1514
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:33,679
Speaker 1: got a couple of things we need to do in

1515
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 1: this final segment, because I think we checked the box

1516
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 1: on everything else. We talked to coach Culley, we talked

1517
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 1: to John Garnard with the Drews Dozen. We had Chris

1518
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 1: Connley on the show Withold Dpcityo for our deep interview.

1519
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 1: The week I gave you Keys to the Game, I

1520
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:50,559
Speaker 1: gave you predictions. We've got two things we need to do.

1521
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:54,479
Speaker 1: Number one, we got to do our Houston Methodist Minutes

1522
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:58,719
Speaker 1: with Mark Vandomir. Let's start right there. It's Houston Methodist

1523
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: Minutes joining us right now actor Alicia Roba show talking

1524
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 1: about sports psychology. How's it going, doctor, Good morning, it's

1525
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: going very well. All right, Well, let's discuss this and

1526
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 1: you and I have talked about some of the elements

1527
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:15,600
Speaker 1: here before, but how important is it for athletes to

1528
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 1: maintain their mental state and what can they do to

1529
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 1: maintain it so they perform at a high level each

1530
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 1: and every time out. I know that's a lot to ask,

1531
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:26,599
Speaker 1: and maybe it's too low to the question, but what

1532
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 1: do you think? You know? I think each athlete has

1533
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:32,840
Speaker 1: a different way of getting their performance to their level

1534
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:35,559
Speaker 1: of expertise that they want to perform. Some of my

1535
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 1: elite athletes definitely see a sports psychologist to make sure

1536
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,679
Speaker 1: they're on target and working as hard as they should.

1537
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:45,440
Speaker 1: Some of my less elite athletes may do positive affirmations

1538
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 1: and vision performance kind of techniques, but a lot of

1539
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 1: people mostly you really need to be in the right

1540
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 1: frame of mind to be as successful as possible. If

1541
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:56,960
Speaker 1: you feel you're going to fail, you're likely going to fail.

1542
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:58,920
Speaker 1: If you feel you're going to drop a pass or

1543
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: miss a throw, probably going to do the same thing.

1544
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:04,799
Speaker 1: So having the good attitude, working on getting enough sleep,

1545
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 1: working on making sure we walk in that we're going

1546
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 1: to do the very best every time we touch our

1547
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 1: sport is extremely imperative for a lot of these athletes

1548
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: because you can psych yourself out, and so many sports

1549
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:21,560
Speaker 1: are predominantly mental. Golf is very mental, football and basketball

1550
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 1: can be a lot of mental as well. So you know,

1551
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 1: we really work on making sure we're in the right

1552
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:28,320
Speaker 1: frame of mind, make sure we've had enough sleep, make

1553
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 1: sure we want to be there, because that can make

1554
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 1: a huge difference in an athlete's performance. Doctor there's that

1555
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:36,759
Speaker 1: is an urban legend, or was there really a study

1556
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 1: where a bunch of individuals do free throw shooting practice

1557
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:45,759
Speaker 1: versus free throw shooting creative visualization, and the visualization group

1558
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 1: did as well, if not better than the other group.

1559
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 1: Can you shed some light on that. You know, there've

1560
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:52,799
Speaker 1: been a lot of studies in a lot of different sports,

1561
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 1: So I know there has been studies in free throw shooting.

1562
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: There's been sports studies in gymnastics. As a college gymnast

1563
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:03,599
Speaker 1: at Ellis, we would always have a relaxation time on

1564
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: Wednesday or Thursday before our meat where we would lay

1565
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 1: down and we would visualize each one of our routines. Now,

1566
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 1: the crazy thing is sometimes you get a little out

1567
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 1: of control when you're anxious, and you may visualize not

1568
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 1: being able to release the bars and you keep swinging

1569
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:18,680
Speaker 1: and you keep swinging and you keep swinging, and that

1570
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:23,919
Speaker 1: can be destructive. So visualization can be really important. Golf

1571
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 1: techniques use a lot of visualization, doing just a golf

1572
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:31,040
Speaker 1: swing without a golf club, visually that the ball is

1573
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:32,720
Speaker 1: going to go in the direction that you want it

1574
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:36,720
Speaker 1: to go. Basketball does it with free throws, you know,

1575
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:39,599
Speaker 1: football does it with you know plays, and so yes,

1576
01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:43,639
Speaker 1: visualization techniques can be extremely helpful, but mostly it works

1577
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 1: on the brain that you already know you're going to

1578
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:48,400
Speaker 1: make the past, you're going to hit the ball, you're

1579
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:52,679
Speaker 1: going to perform the skill perfectly. So I'm thinking about

1580
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:55,800
Speaker 1: superstition here, and often that can just be a way

1581
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 1: to say routine. Right, people who do certain things before

1582
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 1: they go out on the field, Well, this is a superstition. No,

1583
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:04,559
Speaker 1: it's something they do to set the tone because they

1584
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 1: performed that well before. Could that be the case. Yes, absolutely,

1585
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:12,440
Speaker 1: Technique and routine doing the same thing, doing it perfectly,

1586
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 1: doing it with the right expertise at the right angle.

1587
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:17,839
Speaker 1: Those are good things to visualize, good things to remember.

1588
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:20,639
Speaker 1: And it's kind of body mechanics, making sure your body

1589
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 1: knows exactly where it's supposed to be and where it's

1590
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:25,680
Speaker 1: supposed to go. Doctor, thanks so much of the time.

1591
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:28,639
Speaker 1: We really appreciate it. Absolutely. You guys have a great day.

1592
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:32,519
Speaker 1: Doctor Alicia Robis Show of Houston Methodist. Don't forget its

1593
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:36,600
Speaker 1: breast cancer Awareness month. If you want information about screenings

1594
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:41,080
Speaker 1: getting checked early. Houston Methodist dot org, slash pink. It's

1595
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:44,719
Speaker 1: the official healthcare provider of the Houston, Texans. Houston Methodist

1596
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 1: Leading medicine. That was some fantastic stuff right there with

1597
01:19:49,080 --> 01:19:53,679
Speaker 1: Mark Vanomer and our Houston Methodist minutes. Now, the second

1598
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 1: thing that we need to do is we've got to

1599
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 1: give Drew Doherty the final word. That's the way that

1600
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:01,240
Speaker 1: I do things. I always give Drew Dorty. I started this,

1601
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't know about three or four years ago. I

1602
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 1: looked at him one day and I just said, he

1603
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 1: always gives me his player interview for Friday. And I thought,

1604
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 1: you know what, Drew Doherty final word. It just kind

1605
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,240
Speaker 1: of fit together and I was like, Drew, You're gonna

1606
01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:17,840
Speaker 1: get the final word every Friday anyway. Cool? All right,

1607
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: This week it's John Grenard j G fifty two with

1608
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:25,720
Speaker 1: Drew Dorty. This pregame interview is powered by Reliant. We've

1609
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:29,200
Speaker 1: got defensive lineman Jonathan Grenard. Jonathan, always good to be

1610
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 1: with you. And after three games played for you, you

1611
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 1: missed those first two due to injury. How much more

1612
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 1: comfortable are you getting? How much more into the rhythm

1613
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 1: are you getting? What's it been like for you? I mean,

1614
01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:44,200
Speaker 1: I think just getting reps in general practicing and in

1615
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:46,439
Speaker 1: the games. Obviously, just getting reps over wall, especially the Lion,

1616
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: helps out a lot. And I think that's just a

1617
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:50,200
Speaker 1: true testament of the hard work. It's the dedication we

1618
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:51,640
Speaker 1: put them on. I just myself with a team, and

1619
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:53,599
Speaker 1: we all kind of jael together. I think when I

1620
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 1: played better, or when one guy plays better, we kind

1621
01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 1: of feed off of each other. So I think that

1622
01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 1: kind of makes the energy follow us played better. So

1623
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:01,720
Speaker 1: it was, man, just getting the feedback away. I still

1624
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:03,640
Speaker 1: got some stuff under me that can just work on

1625
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:06,200
Speaker 1: and get back better, So I'm excited though. Yeah, it

1626
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 1: seemed like it was a really productive offseason for your

1627
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:11,439
Speaker 1: preseason all that stuff. What was the biggest drawback other

1628
01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:13,559
Speaker 1: than being hurt, but the biggest drawback of missing that

1629
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:15,960
Speaker 1: time in August and early September. Yeah, man, it was tough.

1630
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean just being away from the game. Obviously for

1631
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:19,120
Speaker 1: some of you love. No one wants to be hurt.

1632
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:21,160
Speaker 1: But I think just the camaraderie and like I said,

1633
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:23,680
Speaker 1: us feeding off each other, unknowing each other's tennessees, from

1634
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:25,760
Speaker 1: the linebackers all the way down, it just helps out.

1635
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if he knows that I'm a guy that's

1636
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:28,280
Speaker 1: gonna slip a block, or you know, if I'm a

1637
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna just shoot the gap, and just clean

1638
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:31,680
Speaker 1: it up. I mean it goes hand in hand. So

1639
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:33,800
Speaker 1: I think overall, missing that and just being out there

1640
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 1: with the boys, and that's something I definitely missed. Yeah,

1641
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:37,640
Speaker 1: five games in, how do you think this defense as

1642
01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:39,600
Speaker 1: a whole is progressing. I think we still got a

1643
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 1: lot in the tank. We played well so far. I

1644
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:42,680
Speaker 1: don't think we've played great. We haven't played the way

1645
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:45,280
Speaker 1: we want to play. I'm obviously just finishing in that aspect,

1646
01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:47,760
Speaker 1: But overall, I think just from the standpoint of, you know,

1647
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:50,200
Speaker 1: technique wise and understanding the scheme of the defense and

1648
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 1: how we want to attack people, I think we've done

1649
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 1: a solid job so far. Tell me about this Colts

1650
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:57,719
Speaker 1: offensive line. It's missing a piece or two no Quenton Nelson,

1651
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:00,160
Speaker 1: but still it seems like a pretty capable unit. Tell

1652
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 1: me about the challenge up front with those guys all right,

1653
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean they still got fishing me. He was a

1654
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 1: vetna this league, respecting this league. A couple of guys

1655
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:07,120
Speaker 1: and just I mean Ryan Kelly as well. Pretty much

1656
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 1: we know what type of team they are and their

1657
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:11,479
Speaker 1: team who plays well collectively as a unit up front.

1658
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:12,880
Speaker 1: But I think we gotta work cut out for us

1659
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 1: and We understand who Indianapolis is. We understand that they're

1660
01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 1: hard and those team they want to grind it out.

1661
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 1: They want to make sure they run the football and

1662
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 1: pose their will and try to open up the offense

1663
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:22,680
Speaker 1: and their defense open up our defense after that. So

1664
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 1: I think we just got to stop the run first

1665
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:26,680
Speaker 1: and foremost and respect the game and doing that and

1666
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:28,240
Speaker 1: out of hope, hopefully get that's what we want to

1667
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:30,559
Speaker 1: go on through now. Hey, stopping the run against this

1668
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:33,839
Speaker 1: team is no joke. You're a second year player. Jonathan

1669
01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:36,479
Speaker 1: Taylor is a second year player. You obviously knew who

1670
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 1: he was coming out. Would have been your impressions about him,

1671
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: because he came out like a ball of fire and

1672
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 1: it looks like he's even better. Three of the five

1673
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:44,560
Speaker 1: games he's played so far this year, he's had a

1674
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: hundred yards from scrimmage easily. Yeah, for sure. I mean

1675
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 1: Jay Taylor's definitely going to be a respected back, if

1676
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:51,639
Speaker 1: not already in this league for a long time. But yeah,

1677
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:54,360
Speaker 1: he's very decisive, very patient at times. He's a pretty

1678
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:56,200
Speaker 1: much on all around back. I mean, he's everything you

1679
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:57,680
Speaker 1: can ask for for a coach running back. I mean,

1680
01:22:57,680 --> 01:22:59,439
Speaker 1: he kind of fits that scheme. But yeah, we gotta,

1681
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 1: like I said, I gotta work cut out for us.

1682
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 1: He's no slouch by any means. He still falls at

1683
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 1: the end of the day. We still definitely got to

1684
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 1: just get all eleven hats to the ball, and I

1685
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:07,400
Speaker 1: like our sell us on defense, So it's gonna be

1686
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 1: a battle. I mean, I like what we got going

1687
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:10,880
Speaker 1: into it, and then won't be no Kate walk. Yeah,

1688
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 1: tell me about the quarterback. He had a good game

1689
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,559
Speaker 1: against the Ravens and looks like a little bit different

1690
01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 1: player than he was last year. And before Carson Wentz.

1691
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:19,200
Speaker 1: What impresses you most, It's Carson Wentz at end of

1692
01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: the day. I mean, people can say what he want.

1693
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 1: He's been through some in has been banged up. They

1694
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:23,439
Speaker 1: can say he's not that same guy. But at the

1695
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:24,479
Speaker 1: end of the day, if he wants to turn it

1696
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 1: on that quick, just like that, and he could still

1697
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 1: open the game up and take over it. So we

1698
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:30,840
Speaker 1: gotta respect him. I mean, we just play our game

1699
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:32,960
Speaker 1: and make him feel uncomfortable and I think the game

1700
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:34,960
Speaker 1: will come to us. Like any other quarterback, at the

1701
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 1: end of the day, he's still Carson was who gotta

1702
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 1: respect him and and things that he can do is

1703
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 1: quality quality wise. So just gotta get the eleven hats

1704
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:43,600
Speaker 1: to the ball, make it feel uncomfortable, and it'll be

1705
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 1: what we want. Okay, Dub. Now let's see how your

1706
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:49,799
Speaker 1: powering game day. For sure, it's a noon Central time kickoff. Therefore,

1707
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:52,760
Speaker 1: how much sleep do you get the night before? What

1708
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 1: time do you wake up for a neon game? Oh? Man,

1709
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 1: new game. I'm probably up like seven eight o'clock something

1710
01:23:57,600 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 1: like that, just to get the body loose and somebody

1711
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:00,680
Speaker 1: to make sure I eat a good break, because just

1712
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 1: I get stretched out when I get up there, just

1713
01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:03,840
Speaker 1: so that way I can just get my body in

1714
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:05,840
Speaker 1: that motive just waking up and wins them up. I'm up,

1715
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 1: and then when I get that meal, I mean, I'm

1716
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:10,040
Speaker 1: pretty much ready to go. So it's really not much different.

1717
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:11,800
Speaker 1: Kind of almost waking up as if we got a

1718
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: twelve thirty practice. I mean, we practice at twelve thirty already,

1719
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:15,599
Speaker 1: so I kind of pretty much do the same routine.

1720
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 1: Get up here about six thirty seven o'clock, maybe sometimes

1721
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:19,680
Speaker 1: a little later if we don't have anything, and just

1722
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 1: go from there. I mean, I don't really switch too

1723
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:23,360
Speaker 1: much up just because it's it's no point. I mean,

1724
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:25,040
Speaker 1: if it works, don't fix it. I hear you. You

1725
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 1: bring up the meal, what do you eat? A gotta

1726
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 1: get my eggs in, Gotta get my potatoes in. All

1727
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,720
Speaker 1: the eggs cooked. Definitely scramble with cheese. Um. I put

1728
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:34,640
Speaker 1: a little peko in there, and you know, some some

1729
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:37,120
Speaker 1: baking ham and specify if I get it personalized. But

1730
01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 1: the bread, as far as you know, pancakes or waffles,

1731
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 1: whatever is on there. If it's too much, maybe I'm

1732
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:43,519
Speaker 1: a I'm a big French toast guy. So if they

1733
01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:45,560
Speaker 1: got French shoats, I either if it's pancakes, waffle or

1734
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 1: something like that. I made chill a little bit because

1735
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to get overwhelmed by eating too much.

1736
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: But I hear, but definitely you gotta get some eggs

1737
01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 1: potatoes in that for sure. All right, when we go

1738
01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 1: off the air, and if you haven't run into Danny Amadola,

1739
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:58,720
Speaker 1: your teammates, ask him about French toast and pre game

1740
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 1: he has some good ideas for you. Finally, think what

1741
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:03,120
Speaker 1: are you listening to before the game? What sort of

1742
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:05,000
Speaker 1: music he got going? Man, I'm playing straight R and

1743
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 1: B A little A lot of gospel pretty much, the

1744
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:08,760
Speaker 1: stuff to call me down, just keep me mellow, you know,

1745
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 1: because I want to get too riled up for a game.

1746
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 1: Then I let it out obviously during the game when

1747
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:14,080
Speaker 1: it comes up. But yeah, R and B and slow jams.

1748
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:15,599
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just a guy who's like to relax,

1749
01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 1: getting my element, think about what I gotta do, get

1750
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:19,720
Speaker 1: warmed up. It's crazy. I can get warmed up in

1751
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:21,920
Speaker 1: excited office. Just listen to some old school R and

1752
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 1: B stuff like that. So I'm an old soul, so

1753
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 1: I'd like to listen to those things that kind of

1754
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:27,760
Speaker 1: keep me settled before the game get going. All right, Well,

1755
