11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: together and break bread with both sides. Had a really

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: good time with that. So myself, Randy McAvoy and DPC

13
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: are gonna be calling that game on TV on radio.

14
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be ABS playing and our friends Seth Payne

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: now got a Texans game too, of course, taking on

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: the Chargers on Sunday. And we have got a lot

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: of people we're gonna talk tonight. We're gonna talk to

18
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: Love Smith, Mark Vannier is gonna join me, of course,

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: got my keys in my predictions. We're also gonna hear

20
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: from Rex Burkhead. He's got a great event up on

21
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: the tenth of October that you need to hear about.

22
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: So we've got that. We got Roy Lopez doing a

23
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: Drews dozen, and got Haley Ellwood, who's the Charge team reporter,

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: gonna join us for behind Enemy sided ones of Deep City.

25
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: We got Houston Methodist minutes on rib cartilage, which is

26
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: one you really have got to listen to, because Justin

27
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: Herbert has been dealing with that quarterback for the Chargers.

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: And I'll give you a little sneak peek. Just know

29
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: that Justin Herbert isn't right. Just you have to wait

30
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: till later in the show. But man, we've got a

31
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: lot for you now. I typically the last few weeks,

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: this hasn't been I don't know or shattering information. I

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: guess the status report because Texas were relatively healthy. Other

34
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: teams we knew about players that were out, and so

35
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 1: we gave you that information throughout the week. Shaquille Leonard

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: with the Colts. Then Rokuan Smith was kind of battling

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: with something, but he played and he played kind of

38
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: awesome against the Broncos. There was Justin Simmons. We knew

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: that week's ahead of time the injury and status report

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: for this one is long and kind of interesting, and

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: it includes two pleasures of the Texans out, Austin deiculous

42
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: and Brevin Jordan Adiculous dealing with ankle, both of them

43
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: dealing with ankle and j injuries. Austin I think heard

44
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: it earlier in practice this week, maybe late last week.

45
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: Brevin I think has been hurt since the cults came

46
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: and been trying to fight through it and it just

47
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: got worse and worse. Now he's out now questionable. On

48
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: the Texans side, Pharah Brown, Kurt Heinesch, Jalen Reeves, Mabon,

49
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: Isaac Yadham, those four questionable. Pharaoh was a limited participant,

50
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: but Highness Reeves, Maaban, and Yadham all full participants in

51
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: practice today. So hopefully the arrow is pointing up for

52
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: them and we'll see how Pharaoh is able to get

53
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: through it. Because no Pharaoh, no Brevin, Hey, you can't

54
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: bring up Jordan Nakins. You've even got Mason Shrek still

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: in the holster if you will, but adculus Jordan out.

56
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: The big one is this Keenan Allen is going to

57
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: miss his second straight game. Last year, Keen Allen played

58
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: Mike Williams didn't this year. Mike Williams will play Keen

59
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: Allen Well. He is out dealing with that hamstring. Corey

60
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: Lindsley has not practiced much this week. He was a

61
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: limited participant on Wednesday. Thursday, he did not practice at

62
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: all today. Knee slash not injury related, slash rest. He

63
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: is questionable. Donald Palm Junior the tight end is also questionable.

64
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: But two names, Justin Herbert and J. C. Jackson the

65
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: corner are in. There's no status next to their name now.

66
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: As I said, he used to met this minute. A

67
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: little bit later in the show, we're gonna get into

68
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: rib cartilage issues, what Justin Herbert is dealing with and

69
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: how difficult it is for him to be dealing with

70
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: that issue. It's how about that? Now? That's your injury

71
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: report and statushed report for the game on Sunday. The

72
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: head man on the sidelines is Lovey Smith. Obviously you'll

73
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: be calling ball plays and making decisions on Sunday. And

74
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: he sat down with Mark van am here to discuss

75
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: this one coach, you played these guys last year. A

76
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: lot of talk about that outside the building. How much

77
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: does that game have to do with this game, especially

78
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: considering some of the changes along the lines, both lines.

79
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: Really Yeah, well, you have to look at history a

80
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: little bit too, and the Texans beat the Charges last year,

81
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: and not all of the same guys of course playing,

82
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: but it's a new year. I don't know how much

83
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: you carry over from that for us though. Opportunity for

84
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: us play at home in front of outstanding fans. We

85
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: know it's going to you know, show up and be

86
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: their supporting us. So it is different and a whole

87
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: different set of circumstances, but still for us, circumstances of

88
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: we need to play better football than we have an

89
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: opponent coming in. How much during the week do you

90
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: work on specific things you want to do better from

91
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: the last game versus game planning for this particular opponent.

92
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: At first, the first thing we do after game, we

93
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: watched the video. Then we go out on the field

94
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: and go over corrections from the game. Then you move

95
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: on to the next opponent. And that's been doing that

96
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: all my life for the most part, so we feel

97
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: real good about that. That's why it's hard for me

98
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: to who do we play last week? But I know

99
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: who we're playing this week, and that's a whole new

100
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: different set of problems that they calls again a lot

101
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: of talk about Justin Herbert playing injured or whatever. But

102
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: you're playing Justin Herbert, right, you get ready for the

103
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: entire body of work here. Yeah, yeah, I you know

104
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: that hurt. You know it's that can mean a whole

105
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: lot of things. He finished the Kansas City game, Yep,

106
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: he played all of last week. So I assume he's healthy,

107
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: ready to go. That's how we're looking at it. And

108
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: we have one of the best quarterbacks in the game

109
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: that's that hasn't missed any time, that's coming in this week.

110
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: That's who we're getting ready for. All right. How about

111
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: the Texans trying to run the ball even better? I

112
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: know every week you've gotten a little bit better on

113
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 1: the ground. What's it going to take this week, coach,

114
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: that same commitment to running it. It's going to take

115
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: you know, better blocking up front and everybody that has

116
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: blocking responsibility. It's going to take our running backs running

117
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: a little harder. We have to keep that commitment Mark

118
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: two running the football in certain times, and like I

119
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: know we will and hopefully we'll be beat at it

120
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: this week. I know you want to be better in

121
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter on offense. So do you practice a

122
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter situation? How do you simulate that during the

123
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: course of a week getting ready for a game. Now,

124
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: I we have a you know, we ground for two

125
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: hours these day. It's what we do, you know. And

126
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: the simulation for that is how you finish each practice.

127
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,119
Speaker 1: It's just about a finish whenever the end. What's the ending.

128
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: You want to be playing your practicing your best at

129
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: the end, playing your best ball at the end of

130
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: a game. But situations that come up at the end

131
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: of the game, we're constantly, of course practicing them. Well,

132
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: you definitely practice special teams. We see it out there

133
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: and the dividends are being paid. Last week was a

134
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: good performance. I know you need another big one this

135
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: week with field position and such. Absolutely, it was an

136
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: outstanding performance last week. To and look at special team.

137
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: There isn't setting up the offense of setting up the defense,

138
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: and that's what we're expecting another one of those efforts.

139
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: It really does take all three phases a lot. It's

140
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: talked about offense defense, but those hidden yard has come

141
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: with special team. You mentioned being at home in front

142
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: of the fans, but what about being at home indoors,

143
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: in your building, in your home. Really well, you talk

144
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: about it in your home. I think that's a big

145
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: part of why we like to play home games. And

146
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: we don't stay in a hotel the night before. I

147
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: let the guys stay in there. What's their most comfortable

148
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: bed at home? And rookies are a little different, all right,

149
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: but most of our some of our veteran players, I

150
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: want them to their most comfortable environment to get the

151
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: best sleep. Meetings. We hold our meetings the night before here.

152
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: We're not going out to a hotel all of that.

153
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: So I feel like we're putting a guys in the

154
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: best frame of mind. Played up, best ball coach, Thanks

155
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: a lot for joining us. Good luck anytime, all right,

156
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: Marcus always fun getting a chance to break a little

157
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: bread with Lovey Smith. Get a little inside information. I

158
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: don't know, never really get any inside information. Well he

159
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: did give a little scoop there, I thought, with the

160
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: team not required to stay at a hotel the night

161
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: before the game. You know, I don't know if that's

162
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: happened here, but maybe it has, and I just didn't

163
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: know about it because I remember back in the day

164
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: where they stayed and then then where they stayed in

165
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: the Kubiak era, so I'm not really sure exactly how

166
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: they were doing it in the O'Brien era. I had

167
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: a lot of assumptions about it, but he had trusts

168
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: the veterans to take care of themselves, and you know,

169
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: he'll make accommodations for the rookies, of course. But it's

170
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: interesting to me. I thought that was a little bit

171
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: of a headline. Yeah, I hope it pans out and win.

172
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: I just I don't even This is one of those

173
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: games where I don't care if it's three to two.

174
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's eighty three eighty two. Of

175
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: course not it does, it doesn't matter. Just whatever, whatever

176
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: the win may come. Let's take it to that end.

177
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: How do you think Texans gonna win? What has to happen?

178
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: What's a must? This must happen for there to be

179
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: a win. I don't think you can win a turnover fest.

180
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: I don't think you can cough it up twice again

181
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: and expect to win, you know, And I obviously everyone's

182
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: gonna be focused on Pierce and fumbles because the tip

183
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: balls are tip balls, right, they happen, they don't happen, whatever,

184
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: Pierce fumbling and that's the same kind of thing, I guess,

185
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: but he's got to take better care of the rock.

186
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: At the same time, he's your best offensive player right now.

187
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I still think Cooks is the best, but

188
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 1: he just hasn't produced this year. Again, it's not just

189
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: a wide receiver up to himself to produce. It's got

190
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: to be an cumulative thing with the rest of the players.

191
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: So I think Pierce has to run well, play as

192
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: clean as possible. I think they could survive a turnover,

193
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: but they are gonna get to Herbert. They are gonna

194
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: get him off his spot. As Desmond King said, that's

195
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: one of the big goals. And I'm just worried, Johnny,

196
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: And how do you feel because you brought this up

197
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: with John McClain about the running game for the Chargers.

198
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: Neither team has run for a hundred yards yet we

199
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: know that, and you said, are they gonna play the

200
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: kind of game where they're thinking, so what if we

201
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: can't run, let's just throw it? Or are they gonna

202
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: be determined to run it knowing that the Texans have

203
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: yielded some ground yards. I think they will try and

204
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: run it. I don't think there's any question in that.

205
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: You have to If you're the Chargers, you have you

206
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: have to test. Okay, how is this ground game? How

207
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: is this run defense going to be? For the Texans?

208
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: We have to try it. I mean if you didn't,

209
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: then you're being stubborn at that point. No, no no, no,

210
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: we just do what we do. You have to try

211
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: that run game. However, this is not an offensive line

212
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: that is even from a run game perspective. As close

213
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: as the Bears were. It's not in the ballpark with

214
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: the Broncos, nor is it in the ballpark with Indianapolis Colts.

215
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: Those teams have offensive lines that are constructed to run

216
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: the football. They have top notch interior running backs. And

217
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: I think Austin Eckler can be a good interior running back.

218
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: It's just that's not what he's somebody's best at doing. Right,

219
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: So I think they're going to try it. Hey what

220
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: can we find in the run game? But there's gonna

221
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: have to be a point from their side, and this

222
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: is this, I think, is I don't want to see.

223
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: It's a must that they go over the sideline after

224
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: two or three series and look at each other and

225
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: go forget the run which is not there. Our line

226
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: can't block it. I know they're not that great, and

227
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: the numbers say that they're not that great, but we

228
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: can't run it against this group. Well, you'll hope to

229
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: have a lead too, sort of force them into that.

230
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: As I say that they have justin Herbert and everyone's

231
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: talking about the injury. I know it hurts or he

232
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: numbs it or whatever, and maybe it limits him to

233
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: a degree. He's still justin Herbert. Yes, how did they

234
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: get to him last year? They got some pressure on

235
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: him with a line that I don't want to say

236
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: doesn't exist because he haved one four. Look, you have

237
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: some of the guys, but you've got a better line

238
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: this year. You have a better situation the offensive line,

239
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: and you are quick to point this out even last week.

240
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: The offensive line that beat the Chargers last year really

241
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: doesn't exist anymore here and Quesenberry plays for the Texans

242
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: now instead of the Chargers. I just think they'll be

243
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: able to get some yards on the ground, get some

244
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: pressure on Herbert. I'm not predicting victory because I've got

245
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: out of the prediction business a long time ago. I

246
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: would be surprised if the Texans don't play well. Even

247
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: if they lose. I think they'll play well, they'll perform well,

248
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: they'll be competitive, but man, oh man, please win. Yeah.

249
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't care how. I don't care how that happens.

250
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: But I do think to the point of may with

251
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: the general last night, they have a Plan B in

252
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: the run game. Yeah. Look, if the traditional outside zone, handoff,

253
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: inside zone duo type stuff doesn't work, then we can

254
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: go to Plan B, which is, forget trying to run

255
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: it inside. Let's get Eckler out in the flat, Let's

256
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: get him out in the perimeter, and let's throw them

257
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: the ball that way, and let's run our run game

258
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: that way. They I think we'll go to the short

259
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 1: passing game as a run game. So if you can

260
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: take the run game element out and force them to

261
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: Plan B, that's a that's a big feather in your cap.

262
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: I said this last week talking to or earlier this

263
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: week talking to love you. It's not a great number,

264
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: not great, but in thirty six carries, they gave up

265
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty yards, less than four yards per

266
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: carry against a team that had to run the ball.

267
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: They had to run it, But it's the mistakes you

268
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: made in those other four carries that killed you on

269
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: that game. You can't make those type of mistakes, and

270
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: that's what makes you a run defense that's lasted in

271
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: the league at this point. You made some of those

272
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: mistakes against Denver. You didn't give up the fifty two

273
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: yard run or the forty one yard run. But can

274
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: you eliminate those mistakes to take away those big plays?

275
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: And if you eliminate those mistakes against team like the Chargers,

276
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: I think you can eliminate the true handoff toss run

277
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: game and make them into a completely and totally one

278
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: dimensional throwing football team against you. And they'll use DeAndre Carter,

279
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: and they'll use Keen Allen, and they'll use Eckler out

280
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: of the slot or out of the slot and out

281
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: of the backfield. That's where they'll get their run game from.

282
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: So I think that's got to in some sense, it's

283
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: got to be a must that that's where you've got

284
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: to force them into offensively. I did tell a straighter

285
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: and tell straight's great, Tyler Marcotton. The guy's put that together.

286
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: It's just it, I mean, just phenomenal. I tweeted that

287
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: out at Texan's Voice. Go take a look at it.

288
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: It's very very good. And at you, Harris Football. I

289
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: did as well, so you can get it from both

290
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: of our accounts. So and it's more than just the

291
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: one play. But the first play of that set of

292
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: four was a third down good version in the first

293
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: quarter to Chris Moore and showed you how it came about.

294
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: And it really you got a little bit of help

295
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: from the Bears, but still you made a big play

296
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: in third down because your protection was good, your routes

297
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: were great. Schever caught the ball in his hands, the

298
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: ball was throwing on the spot. Whether she can catch

299
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: it and turn up field and run yack, and you

300
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: made a big play out of that. Yeah, that's what

301
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: you have to be able to do. You gotta have

302
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: I don't need fifty two yards. I'm third down all

303
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: the time, but it's third and six, get eight. If

304
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: it's third and one, get two, fifty two yards. Yes,

305
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: thank you very much. We'll take fifty two yards. You

306
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: mentioned the mistakes in the ground game defense for the Texans,

307
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: and one of those mistakes was the fields twenty nine

308
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: yard run and that was a third and nine situation.

309
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: If you have Herbert and third and nine and look

310
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: they were after it. They had good coverage on that play,

311
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: but they could not get to fields because whoop, whoop,

312
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: and he escaped to tackle and then he's off for

313
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: twenty nine yards. Gramble. Herbert will not do that. However,

314
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: in half the time it took Fields to determine, nobody

315
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: was open. And I'm taking it for granted that nobody was.

316
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: Herbert's gonna find somebody. Herbert's gonna force the ball in there. Now.

317
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: I might throw a pick, he might throw an interception,

318
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: but you might get to him. And you need to

319
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: get to him in this game. You need to hit him.

320
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: You need to make him feel it. You need the

321
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: fans on your side. You need to get everybody going.

322
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: Every buddy wants you to succeed. They want to have

323
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: a big party at NRG Stadium on Sunday. Let's do it. Okay,

324
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, Yeah, because you brought it up,

325
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: and I've thought about this back in the day. Well,

326
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: JJ was in the building, the building would stay sort

327
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: of quiet. But JJ did something early in a game,

328
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: or whenever JJ did something, the crowd we went to

329
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: a yeah, beaver pitch. What player or group or event

330
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: sets the stadium off. Now, who is it? Is it Pierce?

331
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: Is it a run by Pierce? Is the sack? I

332
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: think it's the young guys. It's the young guys making plays.

333
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody loves a score, no matter how you

334
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, But if Pierced does something, if Petrie

335
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: does something, if Stingley does something, that's big. Everybody knows

336
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: those guys and they want them to be successful. And

337
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: if they make a big play or two or three

338
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: or more, they're gonna go nuts for those players, you know,

339
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: and they want Look, they want Mills to succeed. Mills.

340
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: He's the starting quarterback for an NFL team right now.

341
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a ton of heat if you do

342
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: not win games. I don't care what stage he's at.

343
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: It is development that just goes with the territory. And

344
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: they can be patient all they want because it's their

345
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 1: prerogative and they need to be because he does need

346
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: time and opportunity to develop. This is the opportunity and

347
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: he'll try his best to get better every week. I

348
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: thought he did throw the ball better last week. Overall,

349
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: like love you, I sound like love you. Now you

350
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: can't take away the picks. But Astarte from the picks.

351
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: He did make some throws last week. He did make

352
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: some plays. He's got to make a lot more. He's

353
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: gotta make winning plays. Tell him it's the third quarter.

354
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: When it's the fourth quarter. Seat you know, I'm gonna

355
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: talk to Gavin gurt who operates the video board. Just

356
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: put a three up there, the three up there? Yeah,

357
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: just say or yeah, just run the clock like, hey,

358
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: I thought it was the fourth No, it's the third quarter, day,

359
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: third quarter. Keep playing. Nothing to see here. We got

360
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: another fifteen after this. Keep playing. Of course, the Chargers

361
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: might have something to say about that at the time,

362
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: so I'm not sure what to do. Look, I think

363
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: it's the young guys, don't you Don't you think it's

364
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: the young guys are gonna get the crowd going special

365
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: teams as well. You know, it's a knowledgeable football crowd.

366
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: This is Texas. When Frank Ross's bunch makes a play,

367
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and they Johnny, they are so close against

368
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: the Colts that ball's on the ground that they put

369
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: it to the heem Hines. They recovered, they get a

370
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: field goal, they win the game. Can you imagine if

371
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: that happened? The celebration that would ensue if you recover

372
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: that ball and you're just chipping a shot in there

373
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: for a win on opening day against your nemesis, that

374
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: would have been something announced right back to them. Think

375
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: about the Bears, ball on the ground, fields, can't get

376
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: to it. Those kinds of things just haven't been going

377
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: to Texans way they're due. Let's get it. Yeah, let's

378
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: get to win. Coming up next, I will give you

379
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: my keys to win over these Los Angeles Chargers, just

380
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: like last year, doing it again this year. That's next

381
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: to Texas All Access. What's up, everybody? Welcome back to

386
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: talk about this game against the Chargers. It is the

387
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: final day of a really cool week in of sports.

388
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: You got Toulane Houston going on right now in college

389
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: football over at TDCU Saturday's Tonight Saturday, You've got Batala

390
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: Ponty Woods over at NRG Stadium. Steve and I Fosston

391
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: taken on Sam Houston for maybe the last time. It's

392
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: sad to say maybe the last time. And then finally

393
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: on Sunday, you got NFL Texans and Chargers. Of course

394
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: tonight you got all kinds of high school football that

395
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: I know you're going to, which is very very cool

396
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: as well. But to get to the matchup at hand,

397
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: that's the Chargers and the Texans on Sunday. So it's

398
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: time for Keys to the game. This is a segment.

399
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: I do it each and every week. But he gets started,

400
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: I need my music, and there it is. Now let's

401
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: get into this for the Texans defense, and there have

402
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: been some changes even since I put together and I

403
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: know your faux article. The Chargers are averaging fifty nine

404
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: yards per game on the ground. We talked about that

405
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: a little bit with Mark earlier, and I don't want

406
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: to spent too too much time on that thirty second

407
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Second in the NFL. I mean, it

408
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: is the good, the bad, the poor, the rich, the better,

409
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: the worst, whatever. But passing game good two ninety seven

410
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: second in the league. Running game fifty nine yards per game,

411
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: that's thirty second. Their leventh overall in total offense with

412
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty six yards per game, three turnovers lost.

413
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: I think they're even turnover margin if I remember correctly. Yeah,

414
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 1: three and three, so they're even, all right. There've been

415
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: some changes on this offense, and it really pertains to

416
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: the number one key. My number one key and I

417
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: went with a little alliteration on this was Keenan's craftiness

418
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: and then had to do a key Allen. However, Keenan

419
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: will not be playing in this game, so there are

420
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: a couple of things at work. Number one. Last year

421
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: there was no Mike Williams, but there was Keenan Allen,

422
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: and Keenan in that game only had four catches for

423
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: thirty five yards, so he wasn't a massive impact. Then again,

424
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: you still had to account for him. But he is

425
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: out with a hamstring and I think keen Allen's one

426
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: of the more under aided receivers. As I wrote, I

427
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: know your faute article, you could see my gushing about

428
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: Keenan all because I love him. I think he's fantastic.

429
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: I think he's everything you want a receiver role running.

430
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: His pristine hands are great, cocky, confident, thinks he's the

431
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: best player in the league. I love all that about him,

432
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: but he will not play, and I love that for

433
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: this game. Hopefully Keenan can get better and play against

434
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: the other AFC South teams, but he won't play against

435
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: this AFC South team. That is a key. Whether he

436
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: played or not, it was gonna be a key because

437
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 1: he is that good. So let's get the number two

438
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: Austin's area and go with a literation. So go with it, Austin,

439
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler, and we talked about this in the first segment,

440
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: so I won't be labor this point. The point being

441
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: the Chargers run game is not good. The Texans run

442
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: defense is not great, I think, and I'll get to

443
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: number three here because this is where I'm going to

444
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: expand kind of the whole thing, because there's been some

445
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: changes up front, but up front, I don't think that

446
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: group is going to be able to move and excel

447
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: moving the Texans off the ball. So the run game

448
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: gets going, I think the Chargers are gonna have to

449
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: take Eckler out to the outside, and that actually is

450
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: not great news because Eckler out in space I think

451
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: can be trouble. Tackling has been better, it's not been

452
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: pristine for the Texans. Defense. It's got to be on

453
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: point against Eckler because he'll take a two yard catch

454
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: turning into twelve. He'll take a three yard catch turn

455
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: it into thirty. You've got to tackle in space, and

456
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: Eckler out in space is a problem. Now. Like I

457
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: said earlier, I think the Chargers will try it. They'd

458
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: be dumb not to. Let's let's try this. Let's run

459
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: at them and see what happens. And I think they're

460
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: gonna get stuffed a little bit and then get rid

461
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: of it early and just make it a throwing game.

462
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: It's kind of a hunch. It's good number three. I

463
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: called it edge excitement question mark. And this is why

464
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: I said. He said it that way. First of all,

465
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: it's a literation, so I went with it. Secondly, there

466
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: is no Rashaun Slater in this game now. He played

467
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: last year as a rookie. He was an All Pro

468
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: as a rookie Pro Bowler. Everything the Chargers want at

469
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: left tackle protecting Justin Herbert. But he is out. I

470
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: think it's a biceps that he's out. With me. The

471
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: way he's out, he's on ir Sam's Joey Bosa. We'll

472
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: get to him in a second, so there's no Slater.

473
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: So the Chargers will take Jamari Sawyer, rookie from Georgia

474
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: and put him over at left tackle. Now that's both

475
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: good and bad. The good for the Texas is he's

476
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: a rookie. He's never played left tackle, not in the league.

477
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: It's been Rashaun Slayer's job. He's gonna start for the

478
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: first time. He is the starting left tackle. So that

479
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: means the Charger's offensive line has not one, but two

480
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: rookies with Zion Johnson at guard and he got beat

481
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: up a little bit last week against the Jaguars, so

482
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: you got two rookies on that offensive front. Corey Lindsley's

483
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: center is banged up, so if that's Will Clap, that's

484
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: another guy doesn't have a ton of experience. So you're

485
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: talking about a really banged up offensive line now that

486
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: is inexperienced. So with Sawyer over at the left side,

487
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: there was talk when he was coming out of the

488
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: draft to see a tackle as a guard. Here's the

489
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: bad news. He guess I loved him. I had him

490
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: in a Harris one hundred. You end up going I

491
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: think in the fifth round. I think he can play tackle.

492
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: I think you play guard. I think eventually he's a guard.

493
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: I think you put Zion Johnson one guard, put him

494
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: at the other guard. You're great because you'll get Slayer back,

495
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: and eventually you're gonna have to make a decision what

496
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: Sawyer is a guard or a tackle. But I think

497
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: you put him at guard. Was Zion Johnson and those

498
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: your guards for the next how many every years and

499
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: then go find your right tack going forward. But that's

500
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: not the case this week. He's gonna be playing enough tackle.

501
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: Who's ever coming off that edge has got to come

502
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: hard and throw him. Throw the book at him. Everything

503
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: you've got, rips, ghosts, spins, speed, rips, swipes, stab mus

504
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: whatever you got in the arsenal. You gotta throw out

505
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: the rookie and see what he can handle. They're probably

506
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: gonna give him a lot of help, a lot of help,

507
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't be surprised he Levey Smith game playing

508
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: the other side. Take Grenard or your best rusher and

509
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: go one on one and then they'll break some help.

510
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: The other rusher's gotta win, So they gotta make decisions.

511
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: Is it to help Jamari Sawyer or is it to

512
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: help against a particular Texans defender. When Sawyers one on one,

513
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: that defender has to win all day. Now, that might

514
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: help them in the run game, but in the past game,

515
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: that's where the Texas has got to take advantage of

516
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: Jamari Sawyer over there at left tackle. All right, let's

517
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: go over to the other side of the ball. Chargers defense.

518
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: Last year, Texas a one hundred and eighty nine rushing

519
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: yards against him. That won't happen this year. I don't

520
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: think they are giving up one old three. That's a

521
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: remarkable change. They went out and found players to help

522
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: get that number from one eighty nine down to one

523
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: old three. They give up a little bit in the

524
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: pass game, two hundred forty eight to twentieth in the league.

525
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: They've generated three turnovers. They've added Khalil Mack to the outside.

526
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: But let's get to the first key, because this is

527
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: the subtraction, and that is Joey Bosa. Bosa is now

528
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: out for the second and secutive year against the Texans,

529
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: and that's not good for the Chargers because Mac now

530
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: becomes the focus. He becomes the absolute focus, chip him

531
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: double tight ends. I don't care. Khalil Mack cannot wreck

532
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: the game again. But a team has good edge rushers

533
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: like Robert Quinn. I'm okay leaving Laramie Tounsil over there

534
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: one on one. I don't know how often the Bears

535
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: will do or they excuse me, the Chargers will do that.

536
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: But what I want, I'm probably not gonna need as

537
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: much help over there on Khalil. I can maybe help

538
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: Titus if I need to, But if Mac is on Titus,

539
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: give him help. There's nothing wrong with that. You just

540
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: gotta make sure that David Smells is upright to throw

541
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: against the secondary. Number two Derwin's dominance. Derwin James number three.

542
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 1: You'll see him all over the field, and I love

543
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: the fact that he's wearing number three because that was

544
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: his college number. I could track him a little bit better.

545
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: Last year, I watched him on the sidelines and I

546
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: thought he's gonna go into game, and he never did,

547
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: and that was a big factor. But when James is

548
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: on the field, you gotta know what he could possibly

549
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: be doing. If he's near a lot of scrimmages, that

550
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,959
Speaker 1: mean he's blitzing. Is he covered a slot, If he's

551
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: away from love of scrimmages, he's going middle of the field.

552
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: As he dropping down, is buzzing down. What are they

553
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: doing with Derwin James? Texans have got to know. And finally,

554
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: this is what actually has to do with the Texans.

555
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: But it's a key to this one against the Chargers defense,

556
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: and that is Brandon Cooks. Brandon's gotta go off. We

557
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: need that game from Brandon, and I go back to

558
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty Week four against the Vikings, Brandon had no catches, none,

559
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: and he didn't have no catches against the Bears, but

560
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: he had a lot more targets than he had receptions.

561
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: He's got to have that game. He's got to have

562
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: the nine for one, forty five and a touchdown. He's

563
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: got to have a Brandy Cooks like game that'll get

564
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: Davis going, He'll get this offense going, it'll get these

565
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: fans juiced up. We need Brandy Cooks. I don't want

566
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: to call it a comeback idea because it's a literation

567
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: and might know your four article, but we need him

568
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: to really have that Brandy Cooks style game and if

569
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: he does, Texas have a great shot to win this game. Now,

570
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: a guy who had a great game last year against

571
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers was Rex Burkhead, he's got an event coming

572
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: up for a cause you're definitely gonna want to listen

00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: back to this Friday edition of Texans All Access. I

00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: am your host, John Harris, football an a sideline reporter.

586
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: Love me some dyke in. So we had to kick

587
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: off this segment with a little help from our friends,

588
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: and one of our friends is Rex Burkhead. Now, Rex

589
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: has got a really cool event coming up on October tenth,

590
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: so we had the opportunity to sit down with Rex

591
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: and talk about that event, what it means to him,

592
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: why he's doing it, and what the event is all about.

593
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: So here we go, myself, Mark Vandimir and running back

594
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: Rex Burkhead. Rex, I know you have a big event

595
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: coming up, so let's get to that right now. The

596
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: Team Jack Foundation, this is something that started at Nebraska, correct, correct?

597
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: All right? So so give us the history Rex, for

598
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: those who don't know about the Team Jack Foundation and

599
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: what it's all about. Your involvement. Yeah, So I met

600
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: Jack my junior year in Nebraska. He had just been

601
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: diagnosed when the inoperable brain tumor, and uh, it's kind

602
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: of make a wish deal for his family, you know.

603
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: It was what he wanted to come up to the stadium,

604
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: meet some players and kind of just you know, get

605
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: a tour. And so that's why I did, you know,

606
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: met with him and his family, had lunch that day

607
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: game and tour the stadium, and uh we kept in

608
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: touch after that. I want to check up on him,

609
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: see how he was doing, and uh, you know, invite

610
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: him out to a practice and then coach Pallini was

611
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: kind enough to vite him out to a game and

612
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: it was against Ohio State. He had him up in

613
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: the suite, and you know, Jack was kind of becoming

614
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: known at that time, becoming another teammate on the team,

615
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: and you know, the announcers, the commentators did a big

616
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: kind of story on him, and that's when Team Jack

617
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: kind of took off. And next thing, you know what,

618
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: he's scoring a touchdown at the spring game and you know,

619
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: getting an sp Award for a Moment of the Year

620
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: for that, and so you know, it was kind of crazy.

621
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: And then the foundations just took off and you know,

622
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: raise almost ten million dollars now for pediat your brain cancer. Right,

623
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: so we talk about things going viral, and that was

624
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,239
Speaker 1: one of the moments I remember when going viral was

625
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: first out, was seeing Jack square a touchdown. What was

626
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,239
Speaker 1: that like for you as a player and for the

627
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: rest of the Cornhuskers to see that happen and see

628
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: kind of the joy of what he was going through

629
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: at that moment. Yeah, it was. It was unbelievable. You know,

630
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: I had just graduated, but I was down there on

631
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: the sideline video taping the whole thing on my phone

632
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: and just seeing all the players, Like I remember on

633
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: the sideline, Taylor Martinez like telling them, Hey, you know

634
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: the ball's going to you know, I tried to show

635
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: them the play they're writing down or whatever, and all

636
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: I could think was like, oh man, someone don't trip

637
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: him or run them over, something like just get out

638
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: of his way. Let them score. And so I mean

639
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: they're going a dry eye in the stands on the

640
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: field that whole day. I mean, it was just a

641
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: special moment and just joy to see. You know, that's

642
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: kind of every Nebraska boys dream as a score touchdown.

643
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: You know, sure Memorial Stadium, So sure they need some.

644
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: They need a lot more touchdowns, don't they. Rex burkehead

657
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: You know, much needed funding for PHR brain cancer research.

658
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: A lot of treatment options over thirty years old for

659
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: these kids, and so just a cool event to you know,

660
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: help promote the disease, get it out there and raise

661
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: some money. Rex. Why why did it matter to you

662
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: to keep it going all this time? What? What? What

663
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: has struck you? I mean obviously you know, Jack is

664
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: what you said you were in college, but yet you've

665
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: stayed with the event. You've you're doing this event now

666
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: to help that foundation. Why stick with it for so

667
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: many for so long? What what has really struck you

668
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: about that? Particularly? Of course my connection with the Hoffman

669
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: family UM is definitely there. And you know, also just

670
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,479
Speaker 1: you know, learning more about the disease. You know, like

671
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: I said, a lot of these treatment options, um. You know,

672
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: the first chemo therapy treating for these kids is over

673
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: thirty years old, and it's a it's considered a rare disease,

674
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: so it's not heavily funded by the government. Uh so

675
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: a needs as much you know, funding and awareness that

676
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: can get. And it's kind of crazy. In Nebraska, it

677
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: has the highest per capita radio ped atrial brain cancer,

678
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: which is a very strange um. And brain cancer is

679
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: the number one um you know, uh cause of death

680
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: for cancer for kids. So um, you know, just trying

681
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: to do whatever I can with it. We got a

682
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: bunch of guys from my class at Nebraska who are

683
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: still a part of it, new events, you know, in

684
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:07,479
Speaker 1: their hometowns and back in Lincoln. So um, it's this special, um,

685
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: something that you know is near and dear to my heart,

686
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: and I just want to help them whatever I can.

687
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: So the event is at Top Golf Rex. Have you

688
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: been there and how is your golf game? I have

689
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: been there. We actually we had a team event there

690
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: in the spring a little bit. Um. It is decent,

691
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: you know. Um. You know, I try to compete and

692
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: compete with some of these guys on the team. Kyami's

693
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: probably the best golfer one. Oh yeah, no surprise, Yeah,

694
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, not too bad. Okay, we kind of assumed

695
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: that because he told us that the other day. But

696
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: who would be who would be in the neighborhood, because

697
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, the kickers and the pitchers. Yeah, kickers and

698
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 1: pitchers are always pro. They're gonna be pretty good quarterback.

699
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: Got more time on their hands. Yeah, we putters well,

700
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: but but Cameron Johnston really hasn't played right. He's not

701
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,479
Speaker 1: who else? Who else qualifies? Yeah? So, like you said,

702
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks Davis and Kyle Allen, they're pretty good. Collie grew

703
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: up in Scottsdale. You know, here's the guy, so he's

704
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: pretty good. Weeks isn't bad either. Another specialist. Most likely

705
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: to throw a golf club? Most likely? Yes, Oh man,

706
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 1: it's gotta be someone on the defense. Yet defensive guy.

707
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think who that would be. Who would

708
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: be the first one to throw a club? Jerry? Maybe,

709
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, but Jerry, you know, fourth pack probably

710
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 1: played some golf. I don't know. October tenth though. All right,

711
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: we'll get back to that. So Rex tell us, as

712
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: a veteran, how do you keep the team sort of

713
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: settled down here? Focused week to week? You haven't gotten

714
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: the results for the hard work. You're right there but

715
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: not able to close in the fourth quarter. What do

716
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: you make of it? Yeah? I just you know, watch

717
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: the tape, learn from the mistakes we've made, keep going forward. Um,

718
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's tough. It's spent a tough past three games.

719
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: Just the way it's played out, you know, tying the

720
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: first game, you know, going out to Denver, you know,

721
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: playing well early on and then then coming out with

722
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: the winning Chicago, you know, playing in another close game,

723
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: and so just trying to find you know, get over

724
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: that hum, trying to find a way to close it out,

725
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: and you know, for us offensively, just finish them some

726
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: drives off, you know, taking advantage of when the defense

727
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: does make a big play, get a turnover you know

728
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: petre of course, or two interceptions like, you know, converting

729
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: on those opportunities. So we're gonna watch the film. We're

730
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: gonna make corrections, but also look at the good things

731
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: we did and just keep building off of that. Rex

732
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: is a veteran. Is it more important to be a

733
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: leader through verbal action or through the work you do

734
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: on the field kind of a I don't say quiet leader,

735
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: but or has it got to be somebody that's both Hey,

736
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you I'm gonna do it, and I'm

737
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: gonna show you that I'm gonna go do it. What's

738
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: more important? Kind of at this point when you're trying

739
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: to get that first win and get on track, right, Yeah,

740
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,479
Speaker 1: like you said, it's definitely both, but I think first

741
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: and foremost it's gotta be what you do on the field,

742
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: and you know, not just on the field, but in

743
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: the locker room, how you carry yourself, your focus, your attitude,

744
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, in meetings as well, just staying locked in

745
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: asking the right question. And so when you do that

746
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: and the young guys see that, then it kind of

747
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: is like, Okay, this is the mindset I need to

748
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: have when I take the field, and so that's why

749
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: I try to do to the best of my abilities.

750
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: And when something needs to be said, you know, I

751
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: have to step in and do that as well. Rex,

752
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: You've worked with a lot of different running backs throughout

753
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: your career. You're in your tenth year here, what do

754
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 1: you make of Damian Peers and where he's at right

755
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: now and where he can go from here? Yeah, oh man,

756
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: this guy's a limit for him. He's he's playing tremendous,

757
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, as far as running the ball. He's finishing

758
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: runs with a lot of energy, you know, breaking tackles,

759
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: making guys miss, and I think he can only go up.

760
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: He's starting to really get it down mentally as well,

761
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: which is huge. You know, he was little down on

762
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: the fumbles, but he came back in and you know,

763
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: played pretty well, and so just trying to you know,

764
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: mentor him on that be like, hey, next play he

765
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: got out shore memory and stuff, and so you know,

766
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: he had that first one that went in there and

767
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 1: got a touchdown right after that and had some great runs.

768
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: So you know, he's he's going to be a great

769
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 1: player for many years in this league. And you know,

770
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to mentor with him and where a

771
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 1: way I can. Rex This is maybe more a comment

772
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: than a question, but when you're you're playing the same position,

773
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: obviously it's competitive. I mean, you want as many carrious

774
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: as anybody. You want to be out there making the plays.

775
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: But I've seen when Damien does do something and he

776
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: gets in the end zone, you're one of the first

777
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: ones to greet him or celebrate with him when he

778
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: comes off the field, and I would imagine that's got

779
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: to be hugely valuable to him to see that coming

780
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: from you. Do you sense that, I mean, I mean

781
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: that it's always felt like you've been that kind of

782
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: player from days Nebraska back to Plano, et cetera. But

783
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: do you sense that sort of helps him or you're

784
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: doing that for him or is that just your natural

785
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: excitement for him coming out when you see him do

786
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: good things. Yeah, it's just kind of natural, honestly. You know.

787
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: I just I want to be a team player, and

788
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, whatever way that is, you know, I'm going

789
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: to do that to the best of my ability. And

790
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, yes, we're in the same position when we

791
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: compete against each other. When you love you know, go

792
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 1: on to work every single day and trying to I'll

793
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 1: work each in one another. But whenever we have success

794
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: out on the field, that's when you gotta be a

795
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: great teammate. And so um, when you do that, you

796
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: show that in emotion and you know, show that you

797
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 1: care for him, know that. I think it just builds

798
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: a team up. And so UM, I try to do

799
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: that whenever where I can now just in the running

800
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: back room, with other positions as well defense if I'm

801
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: seeing something, so UM, I think being a veteran on

802
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 1: the team, that's important to do. Rex. Last year against

803
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: the Chargers, you had one hundred forty nine yards on

804
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: twenty two carries, or you're gonna stay to Pep. I

805
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: need another twenty two minimum here in this game. How

806
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: did that work? Man? I just I just want to win.

807
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 1: I just want to w and the in the books

808
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: and you know, whatever way we get that done, I'm

809
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: happy with. All Right, we went to Denver. You mentioned

810
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: Denver Attle while ago. I gotta ask us, as a

811
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: running back, how does the how did the altitude affect you?

812
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: Did affect you at all? Um? Honestly, like a little

813
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: bit at the beginning, maybe during warm ups and stuff. Um,

814
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: but after a while you kind of get you just plue,

815
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: you just play, You get locked in, focused and you

816
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: don't really worry about it. Yeah. All right, you've been

817
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: on the road the last two weeks. What's it going

818
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: to be like to be at home in front of

819
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: the NRG faithful and get the home crowd behind you again,

820
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, try to grab the lead against this team

821
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: and get that momentum going. Yeah, looking forward to it,

822
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: you know, especially doing it here at home. You know,

823
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,720
Speaker 1: Charger's got a great defense or a great team and defense,

Speaker 1: physically or whether you want to contribute to the Team

839
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: Jack Foundation. A really really cool event that I know

840
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: struck at the hearts of many Nebraskans when little Jack

841
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: Hoffman ended up having cancer, pat cancer cancer and just oh, gup, punch.

842
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I just think back to the moment I

843
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: asked Rex about and seeing Jack run for the end

844
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: zone and just such a really cool moment. And of

845
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: course my son is named Jack two, so I always

846
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 1: feel like when I'm talking about Jack going for a

847
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: touchdown against Nebraska, always look at my son. And my

848
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: son's not a big sports fan, but just you know,

849
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: having the sum of the same name. Always strikes at

850
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: your strikes at your heart in some way, shape or form.

851
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: So if there's anything that you can do for the foundation,

852
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: please find it in your heart to do so for

853
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: a guy who's doing a lot, and that's Rex Burkhead Monday,

869
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: it's time to do a couple of things in this segment.

870
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: We got a lot to do. I know two doesn't

871
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: seem like a lot, but it's a lot. And you'll

872
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: see why. We are gonna go behind enemy sidelines with

873
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: Deep City and we're gonna do a Drews dozen all

874
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: the same segment, and we're gonna start after a coin

875
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: flip with Dpcity going first. She goes behind enemy sidelines

876
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: with Haley Elwood, who covers the Chargers. She's the team

877
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: reporter for the Chargers. And this is good stuff. Take

878
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: a listen. It's enemy sidelines and joining me this week,

879
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: Haley Elwood, She's the team reporter for the LH Chargers.

880
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: Haley joins me whenever these two teams play each other,

881
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: Haley walcome in. Thank you so much, DP. I'm excited

882
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: to be here, all right. So the Chargers, they're coming

883
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: off at thirty eight ten loss to the Jaguars, and

884
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: I feel like we were on justin Herbert watch throughout

885
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: the entire game. So he played all four quarters with

886
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: the rib injury. How do you think the Chargers are

887
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 1: going to handle Herbert? Now heading into this week's game

888
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: against the Texans, yeah, really quick. We were on Justin

889
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: Herbert watch all pregame. I have never seen so many

890
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: people with their iPhones out waiting, including myself at the

891
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: tunnel for him to potentially walk out after an actives

892
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: came out. But the watch continues if you will. The

893
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: good news is that according to head coach Brandon Staley,

894
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: he did not suffer any setbacks in that game. The

895
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: flip side to it, he's not fully healthy. This is

896
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: going to be it's the rib cartilage fracture. It's something

897
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: that's going to linger for a while, according to Staley,

898
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: according to Herbert, whoever it is, and as a quarterback,

899
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: when you get knocked down, when you get pushed around,

900
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: I can only imagine what that feels like. So in

901
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,479
Speaker 1: terms of maybe his load for this week, I would

902
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: assume it's probably a similar practice load to last week

903
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: where he was limited for a couple days, he had

904
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: a rest day or hey, if he's feeling better, maybe

905
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: they ramp it up. But I think ultimately the one

906
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: thing that isn't going to change is the communication, and

907
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: that is one thing that Brandon Staley has been really

908
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: great between himself, justin the athletic training staff, the medical staff,

909
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: everyone working together to make sure he is ready to

910
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: go and as comfortable as possible too. All right, Well,

911
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: the injuries have just really been piling up for this

912
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: Chargers team because, aside from Justin Herbert, we saw the

913
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: news Monday morning early that left tackle where Shawn Slater

914
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: was out for the season. We saw Joey both to

915
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: lead the game with a groin injury. Those are two

916
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: really big important piece literally big physically big pieces of

917
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: the offense in defense, Who steps up in their place?

918
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: And how do you replace the loss of two guys

919
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 1: like that? Those losses are huge. The loss of Slater

920
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,760
Speaker 1: is immense just because he came in as a rookie

921
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 1: last year. He was a pro bowler, all pro. I mean,

922
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: the guy just crushed it and he's so fantastic as

923
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: a human being as well. So it's just gutting when

924
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: that happens. But I think at that left tackle spot

925
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: they're gonna look at some options in house right now.

926
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: One of those is Storm Norton, who filled in for

927
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: him after he went out last week. Another potentially is

928
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: Rocky guard tackle Jari sally're out of Georgia. Brandon Staley said,

929
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: you know, they're going to keep their options open. They're

930
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 1: gonna look in house. Hey, if it doesn't work, maybe

931
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 1: go outside, try to find something. But the one thing

932
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: that he doesn't want to do is start moving so

933
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: many guys around on that offensive line. They've battled through

934
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: injuries already. Corey Linsley missed the last game with a

935
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: knee injury, so Will Clapp had to step in for him.

936
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 1: So you're just trying to keep that continuity as much

937
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: as you can up front. And then as for Bosa,

938
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: looked a second year outside linebacker edge rusher Chris Rump

939
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: to make an impact opposite Khalil Mack. You can also

940
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: maybe factor in Kyle van Noy sort of moving him around,

941
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: and maybe even someone like Derwin James, depending on how

942
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: creative they want to get with this defense. It might

943
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: be a little bit of like a creativity by committee

944
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: sort of approach here to replace a guy like Joey. Yeah,

945
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: and I want to ask about Kalla Mac, but first

946
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: let's talk about Austin Eckler, because I know fantasy people

947
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: everywhere wondering what is going on with Austin Eckler. He

948
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 1: had such a big breakout season in twenty twenty one,

949
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: but in the run game, he hasn't put up those

950
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: same numbers. It's almost seems like it's flipped and he's

951
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: putting up more numbers in the receiving game. So how

952
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: much of a surprise is that through the first three

953
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: games for the Chargers this year. It's a huge surprise.

954
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 1: And one of the storylines for the Chargers this entire

955
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,760
Speaker 1: offseason in training camp was who's the backup behind Austin Eckler.

956
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: Is this competition for that second running back spot? But

957
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 1: right now they need someone to step up first. They

958
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: need someone to step up out of the gate because

959
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,240
Speaker 1: they're just not getting it done on the grounds. Brandon

960
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: Stale and offensive coordinator Joe Lo Lombardi have said it's

961
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: just been hard to establish an offense of rhythm, and

962
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 1: you could attribute that to maybe some of the injuries

963
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,439
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, some of the changes that they've

964
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: had to make end games, but it just isn't clicking

965
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: right now. You also get into situations like last week

966
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars, where you have to pass. You're in

967
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: passing situations because you get down. But I will say

968
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: this with a quarterback who is dealing with an injury,

969
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 1: as Justin is. You need to get that ground game going,

970
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: so you take the pressure off of him, so hopefully

971
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: they can kind of retool. I know Austin is certainly

972
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: motivated to get going, and that's something. Look it's still

973
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: early on in the season, but you hope to get

974
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 1: that right sooner than later. All Right, Well, we saw

975
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: a familiar face catch a touchdown last week, DeAndre Carter.

976
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: He used to be the return man for the Texans.

977
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 1: He was a receiver. I know Keenan Allen's been dealing

978
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: with injury, but what have you seen from Carter since

979
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,359
Speaker 1: he arrived with the Chargers. Do you expect to see

980
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: his role grow? So I do. I'll say this, he

981
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: has been such a joy to get to know as

982
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 1: a person off the field and just having conversations with him.

983
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: He's accrued a lot of years in this league, so

984
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: he's one of those kind of savvy veteran guys. During

985
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: training camp, we knew about his return prowess. He caught

986
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns almost every day and from every quarterback, whether it

987
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: was Easton Stick, Chase Daniel, or Justin Herbert, and he

988
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: got the attention of everyone going, Okay, this guy can

989
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: do a little more than obviously just be a returner.

990
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: But if you want to look at the impact that

991
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: he has made, go to the Kansas City game in

992
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: week two. The end of the game, justin Herbert is injured.

993
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: It's third and one. Herbert has green grass in front

994
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 1: of him. He refuses to run because he's in so

995
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: much pain, so he just kind of checks the ball

996
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: out of bounds, so you're dealing foot fourth and one.

997
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: He hits DeAndre Carter straight down the middle for thirty

998
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: five yards on just an absolute bullet. And one of

999
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: the things that I thought about when that play happened

1000
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: was during camp, Herbert called DeAndre Carter friendly to the quarterback.

1001
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: I think Brandon Staley did too, and so I had

1002
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: asked DeAndre, like, what does that mean when you hear

1003
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: that phrase? And he said A lot of it comes

1004
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: down to technicality and the tech chnique of sort of

1005
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: shaving and coming downhill so you don't get undercut. But

1006
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it also comes down to

1007
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: maybe being a security blanket and maybe Herbert and that

1008
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: moment thinking, hey, this guy knows what to do. We

1009
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: have that rapport already, and so he's going to come

1010
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,240
Speaker 1: in I think obviously, you know, we'll see what happens

1011
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: with Keenan this week. But regardless, he sort of cemented

1012
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: himself as having a role in this offense. All right.

1013
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: Fun fact about DeAndre Carter. In between his stints with

1014
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: I want to say it was between Philly and San

1015
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: fran he took up substitute teaching and he was a

1016
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: substitute teacher and I asked him what subjects he taught,

1017
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,479
Speaker 1: and he taught everything. I think he even helped coach

1018
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: the debate kids, so it was like English, math, science.

1019
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean I should have asked him, what did you

1020
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: not teach? But really a smart guy because then he

1021
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: came in and they were like, he's teaching other people

1022
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: to playbook. I said, well, yeah, he's a teacher. It

1023
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: makes sense. It makes sense to me. It's so cool.

1024
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite stories about him. And I

1025
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,800
Speaker 1: remember I had asked him about that too, and he said,

1026
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: as much fun as it was teaching, the impact that

1027
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,720
Speaker 1: he had on those kids thing that he'll never forget.

1028
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: He said, he still keeps in touch with some of them,

1029
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: and that's yeah, yeah, cool. It's just so cool to

1030
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: hear that because these guys. You know, you forget some

1031
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 1: of them like him, who have sort of paved their

1032
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: way in this league and maybe gone about it not

1033
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: so linear. You've had to kind of divert and take

1034
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: these road stops and stops along the way. It's pretty

1035
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: cool though, to see it's sort of pay off and

1036
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: see even how something like that can leave an impact

1037
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: on him. All right, Well, this offseason, the Chargers made

1038
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 1: some pretty big, splashy moves because the AFC West just

1039
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: said it's a whole with making big splashy moves. So

1040
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: they added Khalil Mack and j C. Jackson to the defense.

1041
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: How have they lived up to expectations since they've signed

1042
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 1: with the Chargers. I know expectations were really high heading

1043
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: into this season. Sure, so I think you had to

1044
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 1: kind of load up right in this crazy AFC West,

1045
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: and this division is a little different right now. I mean,

1046
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 1: it's still early than maybe we anticipated it being over

1047
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,959
Speaker 1: the summer. But looking at JC Jackson, we've only seen

1048
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 1: him right now in Week two against Kansas City. He

1049
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: had offseason ankle surgery towards the end of camp. He's

1050
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: been dealing with some of the residual effects of that

1051
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,720
Speaker 1: He was held out of last week with what Brandon

1052
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: stalely called inflammation, but we'll see what that brings for

1053
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: him this week. Khalil Mack looked like the Khalil Mack

1054
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,760
Speaker 1: of old in Week one man against his former team

1055
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: in the Raiders. He had three sacks in that game.

1056
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 1: Once Joey Bosa went out in Week three, he got

1057
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: a little quiet, But you know, I think he's one

1058
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 1: of those veteran presences that he knows what to do

1059
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: what You don't have to kind of worry about him.

1060
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 1: He'll get it going. But I also think some of

1061
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 1: the other offseason signings like Sebastian, Joseph Day, Austin Johnson.

1062
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: Sebastian has influenced in former ties to Brandon Staley when

1063
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: they were on the Rams together. Those guys have been

1064
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: key and making plays up front. So these guys didn't

1065
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: play together in the preseason they were held out. The

1066
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: Chargers are one of those teams that doesn't play their starters,

1067
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: so they're sort of building as they go throughout the

1068
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,919
Speaker 1: beginning of this season, and you hope though that these

1069
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: guys will kind of make some plays and get things

1070
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: going too. All right, Haley looking forward to the matchup

1071
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 1: Chargers Texans week four here at Energy State and Pleasure.

1072
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: Can't wait to see you here in Houston, DPE. Thank

1073
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 1: you so much. All right, good stuff there. Haley Elwood

1074
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: covering the Chargers team reporter. She is essentially the DP

1075
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 1: of the Chargers, and DP is the Haley of the

1076
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: Texan I don't know either way you figure it out,

1077
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: but wonderful stuff there. Now hardcore football stuff. Let's go

1078
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: completely opposite end of the spectrum. We're talking to Drew's dozen.

1079
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 1: Drew always calls it shenanigans, So let's get into some

1080
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: shenanigans with Roy Lopez Junior. I can't wait to hear

1081
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: this one, Drew, take it away. What other sport would

1082
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 1: you be a pro? Yeah? Do you answer? What other

1083
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: sports cans you bear a pro? Ad? I'd like to

1084
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: thank boxing. Oh, I think the fan base of there

1085
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: would be pretty mad. State so ethe boxing, JFC or something.

1086
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 1: Do you have any boxing? I know you're a great wrestler,

1087
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: I mean you were a state champion wrestling back home

1088
00:52:58,200 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: in Arizona. But do you have some boxing in the

1089
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: back then? Not too much, just you know, here and

1090
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: there for fun and training. I got to training with

1091
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 1: Milie Collins's. Obviously he's got a boxing gym, so I

1092
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,240
Speaker 1: have fun, you know, mess around. But I'm just thinking

1093
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: what fan base wise, No, that's cool, But MALIEK. Collins

1094
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: has a boxing gym, Yes he does. Oh my god.

1095
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: All right, well, Malik, you're on notice. We're coming to

1096
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: talk to you about this because this is fascinating. All right,

1097
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: what is your first memory as a child. I remember,

1098
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: it's not that great. I don't know why, but my

1099
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: family makes fun of me for it. But I would

1100
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: think traveling to wrestling tournaments, right, always always traveling and

1101
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 1: you know, competing at this tournaments and cutting weight and

1102
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: how old are when it's probably five five and you

1103
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 1: wrestled at the age of five. I wrestled at like two,

1104
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: like two three years old. I was, Yeah, I was

1105
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 1: in the wrestling and yeah, so I wrestled at the

1106
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: very young age. My parents always put that on me

1107
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: and always, you know, always wanted me to strive for something,

1108
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: you know. So I'm traveled all over the country wrestling,

1109
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, I'm doing National turn mints and just competing.

1110
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: Have you seen the movie Vision Quest? I haven't. I

1111
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 1: might have, but I might name it from the eighties?

1112
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: Were you a Disney or Nickelodeon kid? Who? Actually I

1113
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: was neither. I was a Disney more than Nickelodeon, but

1114
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: I was the youngest, had two older sisters, and I

1115
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: would never get the remote. So that's the true story.

1116
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: What were you forced to watch MTV? You know? Or

1117
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: you know when my dad got home, or you know

1118
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: they throw the ESPN on, you know, So I grew

1119
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: up on that. But I was the last person to

1120
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: get their moment, so I had last choice. Fair enough.

1121
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:37,919
Speaker 1: You sound like somebody in my family right now? Who

1122
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 1: is your celebrity lookalike? Besides the hair? Say it? Say it?

1123
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: I wasna say Dwayne Johnson. But that's the rock, Like

1124
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:49,839
Speaker 1: like if I was going to get played in the movie,

1125
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm choosing Dwayne, Right, Okay, you're going But have you

1126
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: been told that somebody? No? Never, never, No. But I

1127
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: just like to think that way. The rock is, you

1128
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: can do a lot worse. I've got the closest I've

1129
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: guy is awkward man, you know, to being compared to somebody.

1130
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: So what's his name? Chris? MOA or Mamma. So that's

1131
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 1: that's been my comparison A few times and then the

1132
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: cartoon mowanna um MAUI get compared to him too, So

1133
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: all right, it's the hair. Okay, I'll go with that.

1134
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:25,320
Speaker 1: What is your most used emoji? Its same laughing face

1135
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: or a blue heart? You know, I never I used

1136
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,280
Speaker 1: to always use the red heart, but my mom explained

1137
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:34,880
Speaker 1: the blue heart to something like, um like proud or

1138
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: something like that. I read about it a long time ago,

1139
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: But a blue heart stands for being proud and something

1140
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: like that, and also her being police officer, you know,

1141
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: the blue stripe, So we kind of just use a

1142
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: blue heart in my family favorite social media platform Instagram.

1143
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 1: How how often are you on Instagram? So I got

1144
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the week, the iPhone

1145
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: will send you time. Right last week it was really low,

1146
00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: but yeah, most hours spent on we're Instagram Instagram. Okay,

1147
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 1: so enough. Yeah, you go to the export page. It's

1148
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 1: a lot of like highlights and things like that. So

1149
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 1: there's something for everybody on Instagram. You know, I can't

1150
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 1: lose this because my family will make fun of me

1151
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: because all we do when you get together is play

1152
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: card games and games. Best concert you have been to?

1153
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:21,439
Speaker 1: It's crazy, um best concert I've been to is Chris

1154
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 1: Brown for Fatty Wapp? I was in high school's first concert,

1155
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: went for Fetty Wap, but Chris Brown showed up Fetti

1156
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 1: Whop then and Chris Brown killed it right. He's dancing,

1157
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: He's doing the thing, you know, so the thing, you know,

1158
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 1: the dances and I'm looking around trying not to go

1159
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:43,399
Speaker 1: too crazy. But to this day, Chris Brown is, let's

1160
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: let's rewind. He said, you're you're your fan play a

1161
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: lot of games. What are some of the games? Card games,

1162
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: this type of get what were you play? Yeah, we'll

1163
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: do we'll do car games, We'll play you know, jen

1164
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:57,919
Speaker 1: Rummy Jenga. What's the connect for We'll do those a lot.

1165
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: But we'll do we'll play hours. It's a trash talk always.

1166
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: Is there somebody who dominates above all the rest? Or me?

1167
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,800
Speaker 1: So if I asked the same question of your sister,

1168
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 1: she say that you dominate? Or would she say that

1169
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 1: she dominates? No, they'll say me. They get mad that

1170
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: I went a lot. It's even me and my dad,

1171
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 1: and me and my dad are the ones that talked

1172
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: the most smacks. So okay, um My nana's pretty good too.

1173
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 1: So it's the wisdom. She's seen it all right. She

1174
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: thinks she's got every game plan, but we don't let her.

1175
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: She sounds like one of my nan Yeah. Yeah, she

1176
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: was a heck of a car player, So I like it.

1177
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 1: Shout out, Nana. Which teammate could play on the other

1178
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: side of the ball. You've got one that has done both.

1179
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: But I don't want to answer for you, right, that's

1180
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: an easy answer. Yeah, somebody else other than him. We're

1181
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: gonna go d line because that's kind of cool. We'll

1182
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: probably go where she and Green used to play offensive line,

1183
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: but we're gonna go skill possession. We'll probably go Jonathan Gnard. Okay,

1184
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: I think he's got I don't know. Malee Cons got

1185
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: a twist him too, another wrestler. Malee Cons probably running

1186
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: the ball pretty well. Have you seen his spin move?

1187
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: If you haven't, a clip up with Milieu spin moves, Okay, boom,

1188
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 1: but yeah, Malik spin move with the ball or Jonathan Grenard.

1189
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 1: He's probably a good receiver tight end, plays physical, fast

1190
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: and can bend really well. So it's my guess. It's

1191
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: a good guess. Let's role play here for a second,

1192
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 1: pretend dire situation. AFC title game. Gotta get to the

1193
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. There's some injuries that are going on, and

1194
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,919
Speaker 1: I'm a coach coming in over to you from the offense. Hey, Roy,

1195
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: we need you to get in the game on offense

1196
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: at fullback. Go Roy, I'm gonna get I'm gonna get

1197
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 1: a DP and end zone. I don't need the ball, coach.

1198
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: I already told Pep, I don't need the ball. I

1199
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: don't need the ball at all. I'll get right there.

1200
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 1: That's a lot of punishment for the offense. For the defense.

1201
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: What is your spirit animal? I'm a chill guy outside

1202
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: of this building. So it's like a koala, right, That's

1203
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 1: what I was thinking about. That seemed a little soft,

1204
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: but you know I like that. Don't they have a

1205
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 1: hard tide to him? Um? I'm thinking um right, like

1206
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: a lion. You know when when you go see a

1207
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 1: lion at the zoo, they're sleeping. They're sleeping. They're in

1208
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: the shad or like or like a gorilla. You know,

1209
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 1: you see them. They're always in the shade, sleeping, just

1210
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,919
Speaker 1: knocked out, you know. So, but when it's time to eat,

1211
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, they really come out. You're not sleeping then,

1212
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: And that's for sure, all right when we got here, Oh,

1213
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 1: it's one kid usually all right, who's your favorite NFL

1214
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 1: player growing up? It is between the Danny and Thomlinson

1215
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 1: and Sean Merriman. Yeah, so, which is crazy because we're

1216
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 1: playing Charges this week, but yeah, I like the LT

1217
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: right after he scored and then Sean Merriman had the celebration. Also, Yeah,

1218
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: he grew up in the Phoenix areas, so he's not

1219
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: you're he grew up in San Diego right right, Like

1220
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: I had a cousin that liked the Chargers and he

1221
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 1: was older than me, so it's kind of like I

1222
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 1: just took it from him type thing. But Danny Thompson celebration,

1223

Speaker 1: notice we're literally talking about it on the way here.

1227
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: But what would your walk up song be if you

1228
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 1: were a baseball player? Song? Light as trumpets on it?

1269
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: the criteria. You're gonna spend the time with me, you

1270

Speaker 1: with that. Totally cool. You know, it's also cool with that.

1280
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 1: My dogs, we have a thing called chip Time, and

1281
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: then whenever I say chip time, they know what that means,

1282
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 1: and that is Dad gets about two or three chips

1283
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 1: and then they get one each, and then I get

1284
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: about two three chips, they get one each. They love

1285
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: chip Time and they love the lace, just like Roy.

1286
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 1: Just like Roy. Now, there are a ton of games

1287
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 1: going on this weekend outside of Chargers Texans, and we

1288
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 1: had one last night with the Bengals beaten up on

1289
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. I would have gotten that one right

1290
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 1: had that one called called it last night on Thursday

1291
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 1: Night All Access. What else we got fifteen other games?

1292
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 1: Now minus won with the Texans Chargers because I never

1293
01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: picked that one. So there's fourteen games. I'm gonna pick

1294
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 1: them all strapping against the spread for fun. Next right

1295
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 1: here in Texans Alexis, Texans Alexis Texans Alexis. Oh, we've

1296
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 1: gotten to my favorite part of the show. I get

1297
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 1: to put it on wax, as they say, in other words,

1298
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: put it down right in a pen and see how

1299
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: I do. Yes, It's predictions time, straight up and against

1300
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 1: the spread for fun. It's a great way to go

1301
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 1: around the NFL. And as I go around the NFL,

1302
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: reminder that Houston Food Bank, the Houston Texans, and water

1303
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: Burger are all teaming up to make things right as

1304
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: it pertains to one of the biggest issues in Houston,

1305
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: and that is hunger. Houston area hunger is a major issue,

1306
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: and those three are teaming up. And all you gotta

1307
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: do is donated a dollar next time you're in an

1308
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: area of Waterburger, and that dollar will go to help

1309
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: the Houston Food Bank, and you'll even get a coupon

1310
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: for a free water Burger would purchase I mean thirty

1311
01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: two ounce drink and medium fry For every buck that

1312
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: you so from now in t October tenth, give a

1313
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 1: buck and be a part of the team that's wiping

1314
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 1: out hunger in Houston. Now my predictions. That's my way

1315
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 1: of going around the NFL. So we got fourteen games.

1316
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: I need my music. There it is and now it's

1317
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: time to rock. We have got to move a lot

1318
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: to do in a short amount of time. On Sunday

1319
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: at eight thirty over in London, England, the Vikings are

1320
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: taking on the Saints. The Saints are kind of a mess,

1321
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 1: to be honest, and I don't know that I trust

1322
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: the Vikings all that much either, but good win last week,

1323
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: come from behind against the Detroit Lions. Two and one

1324
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 1: for the Vikings, one or two for the Saints. I'm

1325
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: just not trusting the Saints right now. Minnesota's favored by three.

1326
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 1: I guess that's what you get for being over in London.

1327
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: I think Minnesota is the better team by three. I

1328
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 1: think it's right on. I'm gonna go Vikings win and

1329
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: cover that we win by sevenths go twenty four seventeen.

1330
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: Vikings win that in London, get to our noon games.

1331
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: Brown's taken on the Falcons, So what's about even it's

1332
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: overre in Atlanta. The Browns are two and one and

1333
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: they're coming off that Thursday night win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1334
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland's favorite by one, so it's basically a pick them

1335
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. And you know what, because I have a

1336
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 1: really hard time going against my heart. In my head,

1337
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick the Falcons. I want the Falcons to

1338
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: do a number on the Browns. The Falcons went out

1339
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 1: to Seattle, got that win in Seattle, and came back

1340
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: home to play the Browns. So I'm gonna go Falcons

1341
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 1: in and a miled upset. Miled upset you would think

1342
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 1: from a power ranking standpoints a big upset, but it's

1343
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: really just a one point spread. So I'm gonna go

1344
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 1: Falcons to win, which is a little bit of a

1345
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: mild upset with only a one point spread. Commanders going

1346
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys. I don't know what to make of

1347
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: the Commanders, but it's Cooper Rush the Cowboys. They got

1348
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 1: a Monday night win over the Giants. Coming back home,

1349
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys will get this. They're favorite by

1350
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: three at home, So Vegas thinks Dallas and the Commanders

1351
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:58,439
Speaker 1: are even I don't Cowboys win that by at least

1352
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Seahawks go to tick on the Detroit Lions.

1353
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 1: Detroit's favor about three and a half at home. The

1354
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 1: Lions have played some good ball. Lost by three first week,

1355
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: lost by four last week. In between, maybe the Commanders

1356
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 1: at home. I think the Lions will go back home

1357
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: and win, beating up the Seahawks, winning this thing by ten.

1358
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 1: Let's go twenty check that thirty one, twenty one Seahawks

1359
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: over the I'm sorry, Leo Lions over the Seahawks as

1360
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 1: the Lions cover that three and a half points spread.

1361
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: Titans Colts, Boy, I've gone back and forth on this

1362
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 1: games in Indianapolis. Not that that's mattered much because last

1363
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 1: year the Titans they got a little gift from Carson

1364
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 1: Wentz a left handed interception two yard return for a touchdown,

1365
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 1: which essentially turned a game back in the Tits favor.

1366
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 1: I don't think that happens. I think last week there's

1367
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 1: a galvanizing moment for the Colts. You could see it

1368
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 1: on the reactions on the field and everything on the sidelines.

1369
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: The Cults are favor by three and a half. They

1370
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 1: will win and cover that three and a half, winning

1371
01:07:56,360 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: by at least four. We'll say it that way. Twenty

1372
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 1: one seventeen comes to mind. Could be twenty four twenty

1373
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: and I'm going Colts to beat Titans. Plays fault with

1374
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: one and three Bears Giants. One of these two teams

1375
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:11,960
Speaker 1: I sit this last night. One of these two teams

1376
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: will end up three and one, and unless there's a tie,

1377
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 1: that could happen. I guess I have to say that now.

1378
01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 1: But I think it's gonna be the GM end. I

1379
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 1: can't see the Bears going there and throwing for eighty

1380
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 1: yards and winning that game. I think the Giants went

1381
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: a low scoring game. The Giants are favored by three.

1382
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 1: Let's get the Giants to win by a touchdown. Let's

1383
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 1: go nineteen twelve Giants over the Bears. Giants with the

1384
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 1: three and one. Sorry, don that's just a bad under,

1385
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 1: just bad. This game could be the game of the

1386
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: day at noon one pm, if you're up in Philadelphia,

1387
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 1: are you taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars Eagles three and

1388
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: oh Jaguars two and one, Jaguars W one two in

1389
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 1: a row, Eagles three in a row? Somebody streak is

1390
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: coming to an end. Even if there is a tie,

1391
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:58,600
Speaker 1: Phillies favored by six and a half, I feel this

1392
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: is gonna be a rockham socking game. In the first half.

1393
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 1: I think Philly's gonna have some trouble running the ball

1394
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville's number one run defense in the league. I

1395
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 1: think Philly has trouble running it against Jacksonville. However, when

1396
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 1: they do decide to throw, I think they will protect

1397
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and he will get it going to his

1398
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 1: perimeter studs and that will be the difference. Let's go

1399
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 1: thirty four twenty seven, thirty four twenty seven. Eagles get

1400
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 1: to win and cover that six and a half. Jets

1401
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: see Zach Wilson start for the first time all year,

1402
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 1: taking on the Steelers still rolling with Mitchell Trubisky. At

1403
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: what point will it be Kenny Pickett? Well maybe not

1404
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 1: after this one. Steelers a fair about three and a half.

1405
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 1: That's probably about right. I was thinking three to four,

1406
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,400
Speaker 1: and it splits the difference. So let's go Steelers to

1407
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:47,559
Speaker 1: win this. But let's go Jets to couple get inside

1408
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 1: that three and a half. You got three and a hook.

1409
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 1: So twenty seventeen seventy fourteen. A Steelers win is a

1410
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,879
Speaker 1: Jets cover, So let's do that. Steelers to win, Jets

1411
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: to cover. This I think is my non Chargers, Texan

1412
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:08,759
Speaker 1: favorite game of the day. Twenty eighteen. Quarterbacks Josh Allen

1413
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson. Josh Allen's got paid, he says, Lamar

1414
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 1: Jackson should be the highest paid quarterback in the league,

1415
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 1: to which Lamar was like, hey tell him, I said, thanks.

1416
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: That's where the niceties end in this one. Buffalo's favored

1417
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:28,959
Speaker 1: by three at Baltimore. Baltimore has been excuse me, Buffalo's

1418
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 1: been banged up. Baltimore can give up some points. I

1419
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 1: think the Bills offense gets Roland. I think they right

1420
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: the errors from last week and the Bills that up

1421
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:39,680
Speaker 1: winning this by seven. But this is not gonna be

1422
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:42,640
Speaker 1: an easy seven. They're gonna have to fight for this one.

1423
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 1: This feels like maybe a last last five minute, like

1424
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 1: five minutes left in the game kind of drive for

1425
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:51,280
Speaker 1: a touchdown to put him up thirty five twenty eight.

1426
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 1: They'll get the cover, the Bills will and to win

1427
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: on the road. I'll get them to three and one.

1428
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 1: But this is gonna be a fun ball game. Cardinals

1429
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 1: and Panthers. As we move in to the afternoon games

1430
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:06,960
Speaker 1: in Carolina, I don't trust either one of these teams

1431
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 1: as far as I can throw them. Carolina's favor by one. Essentially,

1432
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 1: it's a toss up, toss up on the road. I'll

1433
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 1: go with the better team. I think, think think that's

1434
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 1: the car goes. I think, yeah, let's roll with Kyler

1435
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 1: Murray oh twenty seventeen Heisman Baker Mayfield twenty eighteen Kyler Murray,

1436
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: nice slow heisman Heisman battle between the quarterbacks. I guess

1437
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 1: you could say game in the afternoon, Patriots going to Packers.

1438
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's the Jim Nance Tony Romo game. I

1439
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:38,600
Speaker 1: don't think it'll be much of a game. Win was

1440
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: the last time, I'm sorry, New England was a ten

1441
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:46,639
Speaker 1: point underdog, I don't know, thousand and two thousand and one. Well,

1442
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 1: they're a ten point underdog at green Band. I think

1443
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 1: green Bay is gonna cover that. I think they beat

1444
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 1: the Patriots by two touchdowns. Let's give the Packers a

1445
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 1: win and a cover of that big number. Your other

1446
01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 1: afternoon game, and I'm sure it was supposed to be

1447
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 1: a marquee game when they did the scheduling Week four.

1448
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 1: Broncos Raiders always a battle, right one team will be

1449
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:10,559
Speaker 1: three and oh I want to be Tune one. It's

1450
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:13,719
Speaker 1: to be awesome. Derek car gets Russell Wilson. The Broncos

1451
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:17,679
Speaker 1: scored sixteen against US eleven last week, but plal twenty

1452
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 1: seven points got two wins for Tune one. The Raiders.

1453
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 1: They lost the Chargers by five, then they blew a

1454
01:12:24,360 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 1: twenty point lead to the Cardinals on the road. Then

1455
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 1: they blew a well, I don't know if they blew lead.

1456
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 1: They came back and missed a two point conversion at

1457
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 1: the end to tie and take that thing into overtime

1458
01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 1: and gets it tight. So the Raiders are oh and three,

1459
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:39,679
Speaker 1: but but Las Vegas his favorite by two and a half.

1460
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:42,879
Speaker 1: I think this is the one the Raiders dropped the Schneide.

1461
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,519
Speaker 1: I still haven't seen it from the Broncos offense. I

1462
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 1: think the Broncos defense, though, has been carrying that team

1463
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 1: and they will for a while. But the Raiders will

1464
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:54,679
Speaker 1: eventually put this one over the top. Let's go twenty

1465
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 1: three sixteen. Raiders win and cover at home. A lot

1466
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 1: of pressure on them. We get that win in Chiefs Bucks,

1467
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:04,560
Speaker 1: It's even and the Bucks can't score. I'm just not

1468
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 1: not buying either one of these teams, really, So let's

1469
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 1: go home team when it's even, Let's go Bucks over

1470
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Tom Brady finally gets done. It Rams forty

1471
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 1: nine ers on Monday night. San Francisco's fair by one

1472
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:19,080
Speaker 1: and a half at home. Not all the way there

1473
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,040
Speaker 1: on the forty nine ers yet this year it wanted two.

1474
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:24,600
Speaker 1: Let's go Rams to win that in a little bit

1475
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:26,959
Speaker 1: of an upset as there one and a half point underdog.

1476
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,679
Speaker 1: All right, those are your predictions. Shot happen against the spread.

1477
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,639
Speaker 1: We get back Houston Methodist minute. It's gonna be awesome

1478
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 1: this week. Trust me and Roy Lopez for Drew Dorty's

1479
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 1: final word. That's next of Texas All Access, All Acts.

1480
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,679
Speaker 1: As I'm your host, John Harris Football and a sideline reporter.

1481
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 1: Glad you've stayed with me for all two hours tonight,

1482
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 1: or maybe this is your first segment. Appreciate you being

1483
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 1: here along the way. Now we're gonna get to our

1484
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:57,439
Speaker 1: final word with Drew Doherty, who again is with Roy Lopez.

1485
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 1: That's the football side of things. But before we do that,

1486
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: Mark Vanomir sat down with the great doctors over at

1487
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 1: Houston Methodist to talk about rib cartilage issues. This is

1488
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 1: massively important because it's what Justin Herbert is going through. Essentially,

1489
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 1: I want you to hear the interview, but essentially, just

1490
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 1: know Justin herbertson a lot of pain, throwing the ball

1491
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 1: on a lot of pain, and every time he gets

1492
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,439
Speaker 1: hit in that particular spot or just gets jostled, it's

1493
01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 1: a lot of pain. So let's inflict even more pain

1494
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:34,240
Speaker 1: where they win over the Chargers. But let's listen to

1495
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 1: the doctors at Houston Methodist along with Mark Vandomir to

1496
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:39,759
Speaker 1: get an idea of what Herbert's actually going through. Joining

1497
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 1: us now for a Houston Methodist minutes. It's doctor Alicia

1498
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 1: Roba show from Houston Methodist. Doctor. How's it going great?

1499
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's talk about rib cartilage injuries, rib

1500
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 1: injuries in general. Maybe this has a lot of news

1501
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:57,600
Speaker 1: around it because Justin Herbert is reportedly suffering from this.

1502
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:00,040
Speaker 1: I know you're not his doctor, but tell me what

1503
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 1: they might mean with a rib cartilage injury in general. Well,

1504
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, the ribs are fragile in a way that

1505
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:10,719
Speaker 1: a lot of us don't normally have a helmet coming

1506
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 1: to us on a daily basis, and our football players

1507
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: definitely have a lot of tackles and hits that a

1508
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 1: helmet is going full force into their chess frame. So

1509
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:24,639
Speaker 1: the ribs, you know, are somewhat fragile. They do break,

1510
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:27,600
Speaker 1: but they have cartilage in between the parts of the

1511
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 1: bones that wrap around the rib cage. So you can

1512
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 1: break a rib, you can have a rib contusion, which

1513
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:36,719
Speaker 1: is a bruise, or you can have a cartilage injury

1514
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:39,640
Speaker 1: which is holding the rib cage together, but it can

1515
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 1: be injured just the same. All of those take different

1516
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 1: times to recover, and they all hurt a lot, especially

1517
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 1: if you have a player or twelve aiming for you routinely,

1518
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 1: either on purpose, in or accident, and they're trying to

1519
01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 1: get the ball. Doctor, what is the recovery time like

1520
01:15:57,200 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 1: usually for something like this, you know, So for cartilage injuries,

1521
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,720
Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot slower because there's not

1522
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:06,800
Speaker 1: as much blood supply to that area. Bones have blood supply,

1523
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 1: so bone fractures in an adult, he'll usually between six

1524
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:14,799
Speaker 1: to eight weeks. And again that's a normal rested bone fracture.

1525
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 1: So for someone like a football player who is throwing

1526
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 1: and catching and twisting and turning, as well as taking

1527
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: additional hits. A rib fracture may take a lot longer

1528
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 1: than sixty eight weeks. A cartilage fracture, on the other hand,

1529
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 1: has very very minimal blood supply and it may take

1530
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 1: three to four months on a normal injury. So for

1531
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:37,559
Speaker 1: a football player, especially a good one or a quarterback

1532
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:40,560
Speaker 1: that is dodging and moving, it could take four to

1533
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:43,760
Speaker 1: six months for complete resolution of that pain. So if

1534
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 1: he's going to continue to play against our Texans, he's

1535
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 1: going to be uncomfortable for a while. Doctor, thanks so

1536
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 1: much of the time. We really appreciate it absolutely anytime.

1537
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 1: We will talk to you soon, Doctor Alicia Roba Show

1538
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:59,839
Speaker 1: from Houston Methodist. Houston Methodist dot org LA, the official

01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 1: Six months. You heard what she said. You heard the

1541
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 1: good doctors say six months. If he really wants all

1542
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 1: that pain to be well, that's six months. It's been

1543
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 1: six days. So justin Herbert's gonna be going through a

1544
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 1: little bit for a while, and he obviously is the

1545
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:23,640
Speaker 1: key to the Chargers hope. So we'll see how it

1546
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 1: goes for him on Sunday, hoping he has the worst

1547
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:29,160
Speaker 1: game of his career against the Texans in a Texan win.

1548
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 1: One of the guys that will be given the opportunity

1549
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 1: to get after Justin Herbert is a also a former

1550
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:42,879
Speaker 1: PAC twelfth Star like Herbert, and that is Roy Lopez Junior.

1551
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:45,760
Speaker 1: Now he started. He started his career in New Mexico State.

1552
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 1: Play the majority of his career in New Mexico State,

1553
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 1: but in New Mexico State with COVID looked like they

1554
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 1: were gonna move to season, he went to Arizona. He

1555
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 1: started for them for five games. That's all Arizona had

1556
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, but it was enough to catch the

1557
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,720
Speaker 1: Texans scouting staff eyes. He ended up at Houston and

1558
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:04,679
Speaker 1: he has been a fixture in his defensive lineup ever since.

1559
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,240
Speaker 1: We had Drew's dozen. Earlier, we talked about some blaze

1560
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:11,759
Speaker 1: potato chips. Now it's time to get down to brass

1561
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:16,599
Speaker 1: tax baby and talk football with Drew Doherty and Roy Lopez.

1562
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 1: It's Drew Dorty's final word with the man from Arizona,

1563
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:23,439
Speaker 1: Roy Lopez. Good to see it. As always, Texans taken

1564
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 1: on the Chargers and we've heard, hey got to finish

1565
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 1: better from Lovey Smith to the assistance to you guys

1566
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,840
Speaker 1: as a player, what does that mean for you? How

1567
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 1: do you have to finish better? Roy? Right? You know

1568
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 1: it comes down to the details and you know, doing

1569
01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: your job and making sure that you do it for

1570
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 1: sixty minutes, all four quarters if not a little more.

1571
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 1: You know. So I'm going to take all of us,

1572
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 1: every single snap, you know, every play matter. So that's

1573
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:49,640
Speaker 1: something that we've reflected on and we hope to grow on,

1574
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 1: and we looked to grown and we will grow on.

1575
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 1: You know. It's gonna take all four quarters if not

1576
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 1: another one. So we're excited getting done. So no doubt.

1577
01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: You know, year two. What's better about you right now

1578
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,640
Speaker 1: as a players maybe this time last year, right, I

1579
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:04,640
Speaker 1: think just you know, being able to grow up and

1580
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 1: be more mature and understand every play is a new

1581
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,519
Speaker 1: play and just keep rolling with the punches. Not everything's

1582
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 1: going to be perfect. Now, everything's going to be fantastic,

1583
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 1: row to victory and just being able to strap up

1584
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:17,639
Speaker 1: every week and understand, Okay, I got a new opponent

1585
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: and you can't dwell too much on the lows and

1586
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:22,479
Speaker 1: you can't celebrate too much in the high so being

1587
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 1: able to say right in the middle and keep growing

1588
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 1: so and understand that you're gonna learn the whole way

1589
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 1: through this journey, and you don't you don't ever know

1590
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:32,479
Speaker 1: at all. Everybody in the NFL wants to be three

1591
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 1: and oh right now at this point of the season.

1592
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 1: That's not the case here. But this defense is better

1593
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 1: than last year. What's better about this defense? What's what's

1594
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: going well with this defense? In your mind? I think,

1595
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, we just had a lot of time to grow,

1596
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:46,320
Speaker 1: and everybody on the defense we did, you know, just

1597
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 1: to learn. Last year we really all learning lovey system,

1598
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 1: you know, and this year we came into the season

1599
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:53,760
Speaker 1: knowing what we're gonna have and and the rookies that

1600
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,160
Speaker 1: are playing, you know, they're they're balling, they're stepping up,

1601
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 1: and that's huge. You know, to be able to have

1602
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 1: a young guy come in and learn to play looks

1603
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,439
Speaker 1: so fast and and produces is big for our defense.

1604
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 1: You know, we have our vets in the room. Kirko.

1605
01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:08,599
Speaker 1: I know, Kirko just played his hundred career game. That's insane,

1606
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:10,760
Speaker 1: you know, just being able to see things like that

1607
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 1: is the Gael of playing Jerry Hughes right next to

1608
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:19,200
Speaker 1: Thomas Booker, right. You know, it's guys played thirteen years,

1609
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:21,519
Speaker 1: guys played two games. Being able to see them jail,

1610
01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, day after day is something that I think

1611
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:25,639
Speaker 1: has helped our defense a lot. Yeah, and Jerry Hughes

1612
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 1: gets sacked. I mean, that's that's some pretty impressive stuff.

1613
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the the opponent you'll face. They've got

1614
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:32,760
Speaker 1: two rookies that will be starting on this offensive line,

1615
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 1: which is a pretty darn good offensive line before you

1616
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:37,600
Speaker 1: take those guys, those veterans out. But what do you

1617
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 1: make of that front that Los Angeles springs to town.

1618
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:42,960
Speaker 1: You know, they played physical, they're smart, they understand that

1619
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 1: they got a superstar quarterback and they have to get

1620
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:47,760
Speaker 1: the job done. They got to protect them, you know,

1621
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 1: and that's there. That's the whole organization over there is

1622
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:53,560
Speaker 1: justin Herbert. So they got a big job and to

1623
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:55,559
Speaker 1: do and protect him. So I think they take pride

1624
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:57,840
Speaker 1: in that. You know, they're very They play us one,

1625
01:20:58,120 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, so that's something that we got to do

1626
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:01,200
Speaker 1: as a D line. Also, we gotta players wanted to

1627
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 1: get the job done because we get paid to get

1628
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:05,200
Speaker 1: after him. So he one of the best quarterbacks you've

1629
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 1: ever seen. You know, you watch some of the throws

1630
01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:10,679
Speaker 1: he makes, and you just you turn into appreciating the game,

1631
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, and it's like you understand how much time

1632
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 1: and effort he has put into his craft and understand that.

1633
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:19,320
Speaker 1: You know, he loves the game just as much as

1634
01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:21,120
Speaker 1: we love the game. So you guys always want to

1635
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 1: get better. He definitely want to improve the run defense.

1636
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:25,719
Speaker 1: What do you see with Austin Eckler the guys around

1637
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,080
Speaker 1: him as far as what you gotta work on, what

1638
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 1: you gotta be weary of with that guy coming to town, right,

1639
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:33,800
Speaker 1: He's he's exposed to back. He has exposed to plays

1640
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 1: in him and that's what he looks for. You know,

1641
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 1: he looks for the home run ball. If not he's

1642
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:38,559
Speaker 1: gonna get, he's gonna chip away at three to four

1643
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 1: or five six yards and and just try to, you know,

1644
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:43,760
Speaker 1: contribute to the offense. You can tell he's very unselfish

1645
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:46,519
Speaker 1: and he's got to catch the ball fourteen times. He's

1646
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:48,519
Speaker 1: gotta catch If he's gotta running fourteen times, he's gonna

1647
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 1: running fourteen games. So that's something that when you watch

1648
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:53,800
Speaker 1: on film, you kind of appreciate because you understand also

1649
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 1: he loves the game. You know, there's a guy that's

1650
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 1: not going to get the ball every down, but he's

1651
01:21:57,240 --> 01:21:59,519
Speaker 1: still running every route hard, you know, so you understand

1652
01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:01,720
Speaker 1: that he loves the process. Hey, after two weeks on

1653
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 1: the road, how special is it for you as a

1654
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:07,160
Speaker 1: defensive player getting back home in front of a loud

1655
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 1: crowd when you guys around on the field in key situations.

1656
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 1: How vital is that? How valuable is that for you

1657
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 1: guys as a defense? Yeah, it's huge. Third quarter of

1658
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 1: the Colts game, even fourth quarter, early firsth quarter. Crowd

1659

Speaker 1: was crazy and it was nuts the whole game, you know,

1660
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 1: just unfortunately weren't able to pull that out and ended

1661
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 1: up being a tie. But the energy in that stadium

1662
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 1: was nothing like I experienced last year, you know, and

1663
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:29,960
Speaker 1: it was it was awesome to see the growth of

1664
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:33,760
Speaker 1: just the team, the organization, the city of just coming

1665
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:37,000
Speaker 1: around us. And it makes a huge difference, you know,

1666
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:39,360

1667
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 1: the noise you hear, you know, messages with the offense.

1668
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:44,080
Speaker 1: They got a few false starts at that game, and

1669
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: it all just bounces off of each other when they say,

1670
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, we need our fans. It's the truth, you know,
