Tennessee. Kickoff 27 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: is noon I believe. I believe Tennessee is Central time, 28 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: so noon local noon Houston time to get it on. 29 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: And I know a lot of you been listening all week. 30 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: I've been reading all week. Titans four no best quarterback 31 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: in the division, Ryan Tannehill, best situation he's in. John 32 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: hu Smith is one of the great tight ends in 33 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: the league. Derrick Henry is obviously the king the offensive line. 34 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: Taylor Luan is a god. Oh they have Genevion Clowney now, 35 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: oh my god. They have Jeffrey Simmons back, but by 36 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: the way, I think is one of the best stars 37 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: in the league. I say all that not tongue in cheek, 38 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: but I mean, honestly, why are the Texas even showing up? Right? 39 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: I mean, if those guys are so good, Why are 40 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: we showing up? What are we doing? Well? We're gonna 41 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: go there and compete, ass off and take on the 42 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans four and oh they're coming off at forty 43 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: two to sixteen win over the Buffalo Bills last Tuesday, 44 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: So count them Saturday, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday. That's gonna be 45 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: five less than five days from when the Titans last played. 46 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: They pilled play a game on Tuesday night, won a handily, 47 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: the launch part because Josh Allen turned back into Wyoming 48 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: Josh and he couldn't solve the Titans zone coverages, and 49 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: because of that, the Bills left out of there the 50 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: twenty six point deficit and loss. The Texans. They had 51 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: a full week to prepare, and to have had the 52 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: full week to prepare coming off a win against the Jaguars. 53 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: And keep in mind, when the Jaguars played the Titans 54 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: in Tennessee, the Jags that are lead in a good 55 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: part of that game ended up losing thirty three thirty. 56 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: So which team and the Titans shows up the team 57 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: that had two and a half weeks of rest or 58 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: two weeks arrest then showed up against the bills at home. 59 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: It took advantage Josh Allen turnovers or the one that's 60 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: had five days arrest that could potentially ask some missues 61 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: like they had against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Because the team 62 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: that I saw on Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars scored fourteen 63 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: points against this Texans defense. The Jaguars scored thirty against 64 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: that Titans defense. So do a little transitive property there. 65 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, Maybe it's somewhere in the middle. Maybe 66 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: the Titans aren't the super Bowl favorite, they're definitely not 67 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: the Drags League, But maybe they're a really good football 68 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: team right now that hasn't lost. I think that's what 69 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: they are. And it's gonna be one hell of a 70 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: game on Sunday at Nude And because of that, we've 71 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: got plenty for you. In the next segment, I will 72 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: give you my keys to the game on both sides 73 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: of all offense defense. I will give you my keys 74 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: to the game special teams. There is a big special 75 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: team's key. I'm gonna give that to you now, and 76 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: that's Cliff Raymond, Number fourteen. He is an offensive he's 77 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: a vote, he's a Texans defensive key. As well, because 78 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: he's the deep threat. A J. Brown is the all 79 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: around John HU Smith can do a lot of stuff 80 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: anywhere in the field at the tight end position, and 81 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: then Raymond's the deep threat. He's the guy in the 82 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: playoff game last year against the Ravens. Throw that socker deep, 83 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,119 Speaker 1: get a cheap touchdown after a turnover. That's the guy 84 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: in the kicking game. Raymond turned that game on its 85 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: head the other night against the Bills seven to seven. 86 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: I believe it kicked at the cliff Raymond and ended 87 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: up a huge return, made a really short field for 88 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. He took advantage, put the Titans of the 89 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: end zone, tights at the fourteen seven lead, and never 90 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: looked back. Calif Raymond. Bottle him up. Don't kick it 91 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: to him on kick returns. On kickoffs, don't punt it 92 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: to him. And if you punt it to him, pin 93 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: him inside, not only the numbers to the sideline, halfway 94 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: from numbers to the sideline. They've got to pin him in. 95 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: They can allow they cannot allow Calif Raymond to get 96 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: yards on special teams. Returns cannot happen. So there's your 97 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: SUSA team's key. So I gave you that in advance. 98 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: We'll do the offensive defense ones and the next segment. 99 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: Then it's time for our deep Slant one on one 100 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: of the Week sponsored by Affinity. This week Deep cit 101 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: who set down with Whitney merciless. He of the three 102 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: sacks in the last two games, he has more sacks 103 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: than anybody on either side. In fact, how about this 104 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: old nugget. I put this in my by the Numbers 105 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: Daily Brew today the Texans have five guys with more 106 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: than one sack. JJ Watt, Charles A. Manner who Those 107 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: are two, Zach Cuttingham's three, Whitney is four, and Jacob 108 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: Martin's five. Of those five, Whitney has three. Everybody else 109 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: has two. You know how many of the Titans have 110 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: with multiple sacks this year? Goose egg zero. The most 111 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: anybody has is one, and they have five guys with one. 112 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: They have five sacks on the year the Texans have 113 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: got I believe the number is fifteen. Now the flip 114 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: side is the Texans have given up seventeen. The Titans 115 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,559 Speaker 1: have only got five, but they've only given up four, 116 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: So something's gonna give on Sunday with those two units. 117 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: Either way, Whitney Merciless is our Exfinity one on one 118 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: deep slant interview of the week.

That was awesome, 123 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: that was awesome, Scott's TODs hashtag Scott's todds and you've 124 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: seen the Office, you knew exactly what that's in reference to. 125 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: So tonight we give the final word to Drew Doherty 126 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: and it is with number ninety nine, who I know 127 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: is looking forward to this one. So that's when we 128 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: got on tap for you tonight. Try and hear a 129 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: little bit from the Titans and what the Titans have 130 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: to say in our second hour of the show. But 131 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna kick off this show with hot reads and 132 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: each and every Friday, right out of the shoot for 133 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: a few minutes in we get a chance to hear 134 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: from the head coach who sits down with Mark Vandermer 135 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: this week, Romeo Crenelle with Mark Vandemer talking about this 136 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: matchup in Tennessee. Coach, what's it like to play a 137 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: game where you have some of your former employees and 138 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: players on the other side a lot. This has happened 139 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: to you numerous times throughout your career, But what's this 140 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: one like for you? Well, we know that they know 141 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: kind of somewhat of what we're doing, and we know 142 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: somewhat of what they're doing. You know. The thing I 143 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: think that's changed the most as the players on the team, 144 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: you know, and so we have to look at their players, 145 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: they have to look at our players, and then try 146 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: to come up with the best plan that you can. 147 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: What has this week been like for you after you 148 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 1: finally got that win and prepping for this game and 149 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: tweaks you might be able to make along the way 150 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: game plan wise heading into Tennessee, how's the preparation been. Well, 151 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: it's been going good, you know, has gone good. I 152 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: think that we had a good week overall. We had 153 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: a hot day on Thursday, and so guys got heated 154 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: a little bit, little temper showed up out on the 155 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: feel and as a result of the distraction of the heat, 156 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: their execution wasn't what he needed to be. So I 157 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: had to remind them during the week that was a problem, 158 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: and we got to take care of that so that 159 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: today we can be better. Last year, you went up 160 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: there late and did a good job against Derrick Henry. 161 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: What does it take to do well against that running attack, 162 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 1: not just him, but the way they block for him 163 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 1: and everything involved in the way they moved the ball 164 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: in the ground. Well, I tell you what. It takes 165 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: the whole defense. I mean, you know, it takes everybody 166 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: involved doing their responsibility, filling their gaps, staying in their 167 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: gap so that he can get started. He's a runner 168 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: that if he gets to the second level, I mean, 169 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: he picks up speed. He's a big guy in a way, 170 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: and now you're talking about smaller guys trying to tackle him. 171 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: And so if he gets to the second level, generally 172 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: he gains a lot of yards. So we've got to 173 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: keep him from getting to the next level. What are 174 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: you looking for offensively, coach, I got to imagine playing 175 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: a clean game is paramount against this team in particular. Well, true, 176 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: because they are a solid football team. They play good 177 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: field position football, and so we really can't give them anything. 178 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: We don't want to jump off sides and get penalties 179 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: and give them free yardage because they thrive on that. 180 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: So we do want to play a clean game, and 181 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: we want to play an aggressive game. And then I 182 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: think also, like I tell them all the time that 183 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna play solid, sound football. Now, you're an old 184 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: special teams coach, so I know this phase of the 185 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: game is ultra important. It's always important, but ultra important 186 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: to you. So what about the special teams factor this week, coach? Well, 187 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: every week, the special teams factor is a huge factor 188 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: because you're talking generally forty yards of field position, you're 189 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: talking about ball possession, you're talking about points on or 190 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: off the board, and you're talking about momentum. You know. 191 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: So if we can make a big play on special teams, 192 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: that helps our chances of winning. So we have to 193 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: make good decisions on fund returns and then kick off 194 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: coverage if they return one. We got to have guys 195 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: in great position so that we can keep them inside 196 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: the twenty. That's where we try to get done. Keep 197 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: them inside the twenty. Coach, thanks so much for the time. 198 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: Best of luck against the Titans. All right, thank you. 199 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to our next hot read, and 200 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: that is going to be the status report for Sunday. Afternoon. Now, 201 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: this one I think looks promising. I don't see the 202 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: word out anywhere on this injury slash status report. That's 203 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: both good and bad. The good part nobody distinctly out 204 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: at this point ruled out for the Texans. The bad news, 205 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: there's nobody ruled out on the Titans side because all 206 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: week long, AJ Brown's debian Clowney not practice, although they 207 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: did practice as full participants today. So from a questionable 208 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: angle the Texans, Jordan Nakins dealing with that ankle and 209 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: concussion questionable. Cornell Armstrong just popped up today on there 210 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: with a knee. Now I don't like seeing that because 211 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: Cornell has been in practice all week and then all 212 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: of a sudden he pops up. You know, you get 213 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: that italic bold on there, lets you know, hey, this 214 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: is new. So Cornell popped up there today. He's also questionable. 215 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: He's been inactive the first few weeks. But going forward, 216 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: I got a feeling that the depth of this team 217 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: is really gonna have to show and Cornell is gonna 218 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: have to step up. But he is really questionable for 219 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 1: this one. Buddy how and Peter Callumbay have both been 220 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: dealing with hamstrings. And those guys are also questionable. So 221 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: those four Aikin's Armstrong, how calum By all four questionable. 222 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,239 Speaker 1: George's been dealing with that ankle. I think the concussion. 223 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: As far as I know, he has been at practice. 224 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: He's been a limited participant, but he's at least been 225 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: at practice, so I think from a concussion protocol angle, 226 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: I think that's a good time. I hope we can 227 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: just get that ankle ready to go and then he 228 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: can be in this one against the Titans. Fingers crossed, 229 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: but my guess is that will be a game time decision. 230 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: We have seen that thus far. Brandy Cook's first game 231 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: of the year, he had to go work out before 232 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: the game out on the field with the medical staff. 233 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: They talked about it afterwards, gave him thumbs up. Brandy 234 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: Cooks played in that game against the Kansas City Chiefs. 235 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: We'll see if that's the case for George Aikins. Now 236 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: on the Titan side, no one questionable, no one out. 237 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: We do know that this group is banged up. There 238 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: have been about a million guys on the injury report 239 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: this week, including Jadeveon Clowney dealing with a knee and 240 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: was also ill this week. A J. Brown's dealing with 241 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: a knee. I know they both came out of the 242 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: game against the Bills, which they should have because that's 243 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: such a big league. But they came out, you know, 244 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: dealing with just little nicks and bruises and maybe a 245 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: little bit more than that. But Taylor Luan his shoulder 246 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: popped out of joint. They opped it back in during 247 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: that game. Ty Sambrilo came into the game for him 248 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: against the Bills. So the Tides are banged up. They 249 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: don't have anybody listens out. They only have one player 250 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: listen as questionable, and that's de Quan Jones, who I 251 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: feel for because he's a guy that was on the 252 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: COVID list. He gets off the COVID list he plays 253 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: against the Bills. I think the first couple of plays 254 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: in the game against the Bills, he made them. He 255 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: stuffed them. But he's dealing with the foot. He's the 256 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: only one listed as questionable for the Titans. And that's well, 257 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: if you're Texas fan, that's not horrible news. I hate 258 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: it for de Quan. He seems to be a Gregory. 259 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: He played for a Bill Brian at Penn State. He 260 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: can be a significant problem, especially when he's playing next 261 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: to Jeffrey Simmons. Simmons was brought back from the COVID list. 262 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: Now Jones who was brought back from the COVID lists 263 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: dealing with his foot injury. He is questionable. So Aiken's Armstrong, 264 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: how Calumby all questionable. De Quan Jones for the Titans questionable. 265 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: Dylan Cole Lamertunsel got back to full participation today in practice, 266 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: and so that's a great sign. Laramie obviously had the 267 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: shoulder surgery in the offseason and he's been playing with it. 268 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: He's been playing extremely well, so that's good news to 269 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: see him back as a full participant today in practice. 270 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: So seemingly I guess at full health for both these 271 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: teams heading in to Sunday. Where they are physically, that's 272 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: a whole different question with the Titans having five days 273 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: four days to get ready, Texans having a full week, 274 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: so we'll see if that makes a difference. All right, 275 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: those are your hot reads as we get ready for 276 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: the matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Now I gave you 277 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: the special team's key number fourteen actually could be fourteen 278 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: on both sides because calif Raymond cannot get loose in 279 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: the return game, and we need our return guy DeAndre 280 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: Carter do something big in this game to give the 281 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: Texans maybe some bonus points on a return, set it 282 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: up a short field. We need one of those type 283 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: things to happen. So that was kind of my special 284 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: team's key. What are my offensive defense keys? Those are 285 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: coming up next right here in Texans will access download 286 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: the Texans Mobile app for news, videos, alerts, and more 287 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: on your Houston Texans.

For example, there 290 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: are two, not one, great reasons to fill up with 291 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: Chevron with Techron Number one unbeatable cleaning power and number two, 292 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: or maybe this should be number one unbeatable mileage. Plus 293 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: Chevron quits Techron in every grade every gallant of their gasoline. 294 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: So that's two, no way, three unbeatable reasons to go 295 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: with the one and only Chevron with Techron.

Just man, we made Mince meet him, et cetera. 382 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: Now they look at them and go, oh boy, Titans 383 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: are pretty good. Yeah. Well, you know what, this team 384 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: that you have here in Houston is very talented. They 385 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: played very well as a team last week and hopefully 386 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: that continues on Sunday against the Titans. So how are 387 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: the Texans going to beat the Titans? What are the 388 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: keys to the game? One? I'm glad you asked, because 389 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: it's time for John Harris's Keys to the game. Yeah. 390 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,439 Speaker 1: I just went third person on you. I did. I 391 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: hate third person, but I just did just so you're clear. 392 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: They're my keys and nobody else's. So if they're not right, 393 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,959 Speaker 1: you can points figure out me. If they are right, man, 394 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: I don't need the credit, but you just need to 395 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: know they're from me. So they're John Harris's keys to 396 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: the game. So let's get into it and let's stop 397 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: this Titans offense. How does that sound sound good? Yeah? 398 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: I think it does. This Titans offense has been good. 399 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: Check out these numbers though. Running game one hundred and 400 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: thirty one point five yards per game solid, it's a 401 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: top ten number. They're ninth in the NFL with that. 402 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: Passing yards per game two forty five five point eight 403 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: that's seventeenth in the league. Total offense three hundred and 404 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,239 Speaker 1: seventy seven point three yards per game, that's sixteenth. I 405 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: mean good, right, I mean the run game is in 406 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: the top ten. Okay, yeah, it's good. Through four games. 407 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: I mean they've won four games. When the first one 408 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: against the Broncos by two, it's the Jags by three, 409 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: beat the Vikings by one, and exploded the other night 410 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: and beat the Bills by twenty six. Now my next 411 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: category here, it's turnovers lost. The Titans have lost all 412 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: of one turnover this year. One interception. That's it. Why 413 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: is that a big key? Well wait till I tell 414 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: you how many defensive turnovers they've created nine. I'll get 415 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: to that later on. Though, that means they're plus eight 416 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: and turnover margin. That means they have more at bats. 417 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: Then your offense is gonna have, and because they run 418 00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: the ball as well as they do, then they're that 419 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: much more difficult to stop. But the running numbers, I'll 420 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 1: blow you away. Passing game, good total offense because they 421 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: have balance at three seventy seven. The thing is, they 422 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: haven't had like a five twenty five game. They've all 423 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: been righting at range, So you can pretty much lock 424 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: it in. They're gonna be anywhere from three fifty to 425 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: four hundred yards a total offense against the Texans team. 426 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,719 Speaker 1: But how can the Texans hold them in check? All right, 427 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 1: let's start with the first one. Now, the first one. 428 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: The first key to this game in stopping the Titans offense. 429 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: A lot of times you would here Mark myself and 430 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: we talked about what do you gotta do. You gotta 431 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: stop the run. Talk to coaches, what do they tell 432 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: you stop the run? I stopped the run. Okay, it 433 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: sounds great in theory, gotta stop the run. But it's 434 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:50,719 Speaker 1: Derek Henry yees. So I go back to an NFL 435 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: Films show that came up. It was the It was right. Actually, 436 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: it was the Wednesday before he played the Kansait Chiefs. 437 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: I was at my hotel room in Kansas City, and 438 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: we are watching America's game, which I think I've talked about. 439 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: It's essentially a documentary of the season told through the 440 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: player's eyes. But they also have a show they started 441 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: a few years ago. It's a documentary season told through 442 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: the coach's eyes, and it's really interesting to kind of 443 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: juxtapose it to what the players are thinking about, what 444 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: the coaches are thinking about and Sea Boat. So I 445 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: watched America's game and I'm watching the coaches show. So 446 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: they get to the point where it's the playoffs and 447 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 1: they come from behind against the Texans, and then they're 448 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: prepping for the Titans game, and Andy Reid gives credit 449 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: to one of his defensive assistants, kind of the low 450 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: man on the total poll. His name is Whittingham. I 451 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: don't remember his first name, but his dad is the 452 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: head coach Universus Utah. And as they were getting ready 453 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: to face Derek Henry Young, Whittingham came up with this phrase. 454 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: He told Coach one and he said, hey, coach, when 455 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: we were at Utah, when we were playing a big back, 456 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: a strong back, one thing we talked about was killed 457 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 1: the engine. Killed the engine. And read then said very succinctly. 458 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: Henry's legs are the engine. He saw the other night. 459 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: You saw what Josh Norman did. It didn't go well 460 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: because he tried to go up high on him. He 461 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: got lateral to him and Henry was just able to 462 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: swipe him away. What the Chiefs did in that championship 463 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: game was they killed the engine. They went at Henry 464 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: at his thighsing below, and they wrapped up and they 465 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 1: brought him down. I think he had a probably mid 466 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: sixties in yards in an AFC championship game, and the 467 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: game was put on it. Ryan Tanniel's shoulders couldn't do it. 468 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: That lead couldn't hold it. Chiefs one. When I won 469 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, key number one, killed the engine. Don't 470 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: be so proud that you don't follow with somebody else 471 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: did or said, And that to me really hit home, 472 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: like that's it, that's it, And it was put so 473 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: well by young Whittingham. Killed the Engine. Henry's legs are 474 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: his engine. Take that out. Now, there's a lot that 475 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: goes into how you do that, and got to be 476 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: in position to do that, all that kind of stuff. 477 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: But when you're in position to make a tackle, you've 478 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: got to shoot yourself through those thighs, right through it. 479 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: Wrap him up and let and bring him down. You 480 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: go up high. You're gonna be an internet meme. Kill 481 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: the engine. Number two, Keys don't lie. What I mean 482 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: by that in this key is the game segment is 483 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: that you must read your keys. They will take you 484 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: to the ball. The Titans will do shifting motion, There'll 485 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: be a lot of stuff going on, Arthur Smith, the 486 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, will do. But read your keys on each 487 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: and every place scheme that you have. You have a key. 488 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: What is that key? My key is to read the guard. 489 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: My key is to read the third wide receiver. My 490 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 1: key is to read Tannehill how he opens. Whatever your 491 00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: key is, get locked in on it, trust it. Play 492 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: the defense. Now they're gonna try and do some things 493 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 1: with all that misdirection, smoking mirrors and catch you out 494 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: of position. But if you read your keys, that's gonna 495 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: take you to the football. That's gonna take you where 496 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 1: you need to be to be able to make a 497 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: play on the football. Keys don't lie. Number three, and 498 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this as pacy as I possibly can 499 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: violently get off blocks. This cannot be one of those 500 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: situations where you're like, oh, I think I think I'm 501 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: off the block. I'm kind of in position, and then 502 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Henry cuts back on you and 503 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: they just kind of ride you on by the play. 504 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: This has got to be uh huh and get them 505 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: off you, because the longer you let those guys up 506 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: front Jane Saffold, Luan Davis and Dennis Uncle Dennis lay 507 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: on you and stay on you, they're gonna clutch, they're 508 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: gonna grab it a whole a little bit. Get them 509 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: off of you as violently as you would to your 510 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: big brother who's just pounding on you in a fight. 511 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: That's how you've got to attack these blocks. This cannot 512 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: just be namby Pamby just no. This has got to 513 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: be shooter hands with everything you got, violently get him 514 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: off of you and then go help and pursue. This 515 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: cannot be How's the right way of saying this. It's 516 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: not a child's game inside this week, not against these guys. 517 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: Now with that offensive line and now with that running back, 518 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: number three, violently get off blocks. Number four is simply 519 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: put the number eighty one. That's John Wu Smith. Romeo 520 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: Cornell talked about John Wu Smith earlier in the week, 521 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: and I thought he was dead. On every single game 522 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: the Texans have played against the Titans since John wu 523 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: has been there, he's made a huge play. The one 524 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: that sticks out to me is last year up there, 525 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: Week fifteen, We're up fourteen nothing, fourteen nothing to fourteen seven, 526 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: and they come out of a time out and I 527 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: saw it right away. I saw him in the backfield, 528 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: and I start to say to Mark, John Nu Smith's 529 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: in the backfield, watch him, And all of a sudden 530 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: the ball snapped. Tanny Hill turns and tosses it to 531 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: John H. Smith on a running back sweep through the right. 532 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: Sixty one yards later, Texans finally tracked him down. Titans 533 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: went in, scored, scored again, tied it at fourteen. Texans 534 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: then we're able to move the football and win the game, 535 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: but John Smith got him back in it. Twenty eighteen, 536 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: monted that football down the middle of the field, Mario 537 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: to bang John hu Smith touchdown. John hu Smith can 538 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: kill you, and I agree. I heard Show and Clint 539 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: talk about this this afternoon. They were talking about how 540 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: John H. Smith might be number three in the tight 541 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: end pecking order in the league. He could he could 542 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: very well be. But to me, he's more than a 543 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: tight end, and I think that's what makes Kittle and 544 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: Kelsey so great. Zach Ertz, even though Earths, I think 545 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: has probably fallen off a little bit, showed a little 546 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: bit of his age. Injuries can kind of catch it 547 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: up to him. They're more than tight ends. They're receivers 548 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: in tight end bodies. I mean, Jonas Smith played tailback 549 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: for that one play. So eighty one is a problem. 550 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: What is your responsibility? How do you account for him? 551 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: Do you account for him with the safety? Do you 552 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: account for him with the nickel? When he's out wide? 553 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: You gotta treat like a wide receiver. He might end 554 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: up having to put a corner on him either way. 555 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: Eighty one has got to be the focus. AJ Brown's 556 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: fantastic receiver. But there isn't anyone that there isn't anyone 557 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: in the secondary that can't run with AJ or at 558 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: least stick with aj. Jhona Smith's a whole different ball 559 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: game because if you look at him as a tight end, 560 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: he'll kill you. But if you treat him like the 561 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: weapon that he is, then you've got an opportunity. As 562 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: long as you then performed. Your job been executed. They're 563 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: stop numb Rady one number five. Don't let Tannehill be 564 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: the Titans second leading rusher Against the Bills, he had 565 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: four carries for forty yards. Four carries for forty yards 566 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: against US in the loss up there last year, three 567 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: carries ten yards, four forty they won, three for ten 568 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: they lost. You do the math. Tannehill cannot get into 569 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: the run game. And I know they're saying the exact 570 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: same thing about the Sean. That's how we're gonna stop 571 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: this Titans offense. Titans defense, get ready for this. Rush 572 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: yards allowed one hundred and forty eight point three that's 573 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: twenty seventh in the league. Passing yards allowed two sixty 574 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: one per game, that's twenty third in the league. Total 575 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: offense over four hundred yards four hundred and nine yards 576 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: per game, twenty ninth in the league. How on a 577 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: heck are these guys four and zero turnovers generated, nine 578 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: six picks, three fumble recoveries. The Titans are plus eight 579 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: and turnover margin and guess what that is the best 580 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL. So put turnovers up on the shelf 581 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: and leave them there. That's an always when you start 582 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: going to Racki's to the game. You just flash that 583 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: sign turnovers? Why is that signed turnovers? Flashing? Because that 584 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: is a key every single week, made more important when 585 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: you face the team that has plus eight in turnover 586 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: margin this year. All right, so how are we going 587 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: to do this against the Titans? Defense? Number one is 588 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: the exact same one it was last week. Attack right 589 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: out of the shoot and what we do on the 590 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: first play the game. Last last week they came up 591 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: and pressed man. We went deep on them, Brandy Cooks 592 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: thirty six yards down the field. They do the same thing. 593 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: Do it now? I expect them to sit back in 594 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: zone because Jjo can't play man anymore. Malcolm Butler might, 595 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: they can't play man anymore, so they're gonna be in zone. 596 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: So how do you attack? In air quotes a zone? 597 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: Find open holes, get rid of the football on time, 598 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: move the sticks. Find the open hole, see the open man, 599 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: deliver the football, catch it, get first down and move 600 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: the sticks. That's it. Attack second, find holes in the zone. 601 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 1: If you're attacking as we should, you're gonna find holes 602 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: in the zone. They're not gonna play man. They cannot 603 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: play man against you. Dorry Jackson's still a little bit 604 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,399 Speaker 1: banged up. I don't think he's come off ir yet. 605 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: Their corner last year they had Logan Ryan. At least 606 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: the Olla Sean sim Sims is no longer there. They 607 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: had a rookie Christian Fulton. I think Fulton might be 608 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: might have come back off of COVID. I never saw 609 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,280 Speaker 1: whether he had or not. Either way, he's a rookie. 610 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 1: And then they got J Joe. Their corners are not 611 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: as good as they've had in the past, so they 612 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: have to play zone now. The flip side of that 613 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: is they can disguise some things, but you gotta know 614 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna end up in zone. They're not gonna be 615 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,919 Speaker 1: a man number three. It's like for US J. J. Watt, 616 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: Whear's ninety nine. For them, ninety nine has been a 617 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,280 Speaker 1: problem for US for years. It used to be Drill Casey, 618 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: and then they traded Drill Casey Denver Broncos. It became 619 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: to Dadion Clowney. Now the shoes on the other foot. 620 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: I would say that these Texans had a chance to 621 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: face Clowney every single year, at least in training camp, 622 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: because your ones wouldn't go against your ones in practice. 623 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: During the season, but Clowney was never there in training camp. 624 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: But Larimye Tunsel saw Clowney upflows some personal back at 625 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, we played Miami on a Thursday night. You 626 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: know what Clowney's numbers were that night. Two tackles and zeros, 627 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: no pressures, no sacks, no quarterback hits, two tackles, and 628 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 1: he went the majority of the night against Miami's left tackle, 629 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: Larimye Tunsil. Now, they are gonna move Clowney around, and 630 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: I expect Clowney to try and work against the guards, 631 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: and my guess is they're gonna try and highlight Senel Callamette. 632 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: So if that means that Nick's gotta help Sneil, that 633 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 1: means Zach Fulton's either one on one on Jeffrey Simmons, 634 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: he's one on one on day Kuan Jones, or he's 635 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: one on one against somebody that they're bumping down to 636 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: rush against him. So Zach's got to have the game 637 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: of the season. I think Zach Fulton is going to 638 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: end up being one of the bigger factors for the 639 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 1: reason I just mentioned Landry outside Beasley outside Clownie moves 640 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,720 Speaker 1: in over Callamette, and then it's one on one Zach Fulton, 641 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,720 Speaker 1: whoever that's gonna be against the Chiefs. Chris Jones gave Zach' missue. 642 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,280 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons can't too, but he's not quite the rusher 643 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: Chris Jones is. But that's the matchup. That's it. But 644 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: that's the kind of matchup that ninety nine creates to 645 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: Devion Clowney for the Tennessee Titans. All right, number four, 646 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,879 Speaker 1: find the right run game fit. Here's what I mean 647 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: by that. What kind of team are you? There are 648 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: a lot of run games out there. There's duo, there's 649 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,280 Speaker 1: inside zone, there's outside zone, there's power, there's gap scheme stuff, 650 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: and then there's just good old old school packers, sweep toss, 651 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: sweep outside runs, all different kinds of things. Which ones 652 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: are the Titans giving you? Because trust me, they're not 653 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 1: that good up front to be able to shut down 654 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: your runs. Now inside, if they've got de Kuan Jones 655 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 1: and Jeffrey Simmons, this game needs to go to the perimeter. 656 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 1: Put a couple of bodies on Clowney and get this 657 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: thing out to the perimeter. The other aspect is maybe 658 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: your run game get some help from your short passing game. 659 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: Maybe that's how you quote unquote run the ball is 660 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 1: by using that short passing game. But you're gonna have 661 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: to be able to get David and Duke involved in 662 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: some way, shape or form. This might be a Duke 663 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: Johnson kind of game where he is slashing and getting 664 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: those runs inside. Either way, find what fits in the 665 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,959 Speaker 1: run game, and that's gonna maybe take some experimental type 666 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 1: stuff early on to be able to find. Okay, here's 667 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: what they're giving us. They're giving us wide stuff with David. 668 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: Maybe they're giving us the inside stuff with Duke. Either way, 669 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,439 Speaker 1: but this is the kind of run game we gotta 670 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,879 Speaker 1: have figure it out early and then attack it. Number five, 671 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: ten or eleven personnel will give the Titans issues. And 672 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 1: this goes back to my point earlier. Ten personnel is 673 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: one back, four wides, eleven per snell is one back, 674 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: one tight end, three wise and the Texans can get 675 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: into those personnel groups pretty easily. I don't think the 676 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,879 Speaker 1: Titans can handle all of that because if they want 677 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 1: to go nickel or I'm sorry say they go dime 678 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: against ten personnel, still can run the ball. You can 679 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: still run the ball against dimes, spread them out and 680 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: run inside. I still think you can do that with 681 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 1: that personnel group. Either way, they don't have I think 682 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,240 Speaker 1: the requisite number of bodies to be able to stop 683 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: everything that's there. They first of all, can't play man. Now, 684 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: Chris Jacksons or Nickel's a rookie, they'll play him, and 685 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: he's very aggressive. Vaccaro might jump down to box and 686 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: play like a linebacker, and those things happen. Those are 687 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: good opportunities to go run the ball. That's the Vikings 688 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 1: did last about three weeks ago and they played the Titans. 689 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: They got the Titans into a Nickel grouping. Vacaro came up, 690 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: played like a will linebacker. They ran right at him. 691 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,839 Speaker 1: He couldn't handle it because obviously he's winding coming at 692 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: h and Dalvin cochran right through that hole thirty nine 693 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 1: yards for a touchdown. When the Texans getting ten or 694 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: eleven personnel. I don't think the Titans can handle it. 695 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 1: I really don't. So that might be one of the 696 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 1: things that Texans get to and then on top of that, 697 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: go some up tempo that ten eleven personnel. Then that 698 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 1: could put the Titans really back on their heels. That 699 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: would be kind of fun. All right. Those are your 700 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,839 Speaker 1: keys to the game, brought to you by me, John 701 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,799 Speaker 1: Harrison's and John Harris keys to the game.

So what's the difference for you in 821 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 1: these last few weeks where you've really gotten to pressure 822 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:18,440 Speaker 1: the passer? Um? Just uh, just really just um, I 823 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:22,240 Speaker 1: would say, getting bad, well, just being comfortable in my body, 824 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 1: you know, the first couple of games or whatnot, especially 825 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,799 Speaker 1: not having preseason and all that instincts coming back as 826 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,320 Speaker 1: far as what teams like to do on plays and 827 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 1: understanding where the plays might lead to, uh, you know 828 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: for me to go get the ball or get the 829 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,239 Speaker 1: quarterback or anything like that. So um, that's really and 830 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 1: that's really what it is. Just for me, I'm I'm 831 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,080 Speaker 1: just patient. I played a long time in this league 832 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,080 Speaker 1: now and just that the sax was come, you know, 833 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 1: the pressures and all that, they'll come eventually that year 834 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 1: I got a twelve sacks. Literally, I didn't have a 835 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 1: sack five games. That's great. Yeah, yeah, so I remember 836 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 1: that completely. So it's just just me a patient. Well, 837 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 1: you've been here the whole time Romeo Cornell has been here. 838 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,280 Speaker 1: He's served so many different roles. He's been defensive coordinator, 839 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 1: has been associated head coach, he's been assistant head coach 840 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,480 Speaker 1: with emphasis on defense, and now he's serving his interim 841 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,839 Speaker 1: head coach. So how is he different from how he 842 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,799 Speaker 1: was when he was defensive coordinating? Right? I know you 843 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 1: know Rac so well, what's his vibe? Like? All the 844 00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,399 Speaker 1: guys have been talking about it. But is there any 845 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,359 Speaker 1: difference from when he was running defense compared to when 846 00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 1: he's running the whole team? I don't think there's really 847 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:29,879 Speaker 1: much of a difference. The only difference is now he's 848 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,799 Speaker 1: overseeing the offense as well too, so he's not really 849 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,439 Speaker 1: too heavily focused on defense, even though he's a defensive coach. 850 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,360 Speaker 1: But you know, he comes in and every day with 851 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 1: the same juice and everything and gets us all pumped 852 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 1: out for practice. He runs his nice little fifteen plays 853 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 1: that we always watch as a defense, now we do 854 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:50,279 Speaker 1: it as a as an entire squad, squad team, and 855 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,719 Speaker 1: so pretty much it's pretty much the same rack. You know, 856 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson said that rac is really funny in the 857 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,480 Speaker 1: team meetings, and he goes and I don't know if 858 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,239 Speaker 1: he's trying to be funny. He just is funny. But 859 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 1: I feel like you would be a guy to ask 860 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:07,959 Speaker 1: this question to what makes him so funny? Oh? Man, 861 00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:13,160 Speaker 1: So reg he's hilarious. He is definitely hilarious. Sometimes he 862 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,160 Speaker 1: say things that I don't even think he knows that 863 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 1: what he's saying. It's just football terminology. Does it literally? 864 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,799 Speaker 1: And then you know, of course, in a room full 865 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,719 Speaker 1: of guys, you know, we were always gonna take it 866 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,520 Speaker 1: the wrong way or whatever. Um. And then pretty much 867 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,400 Speaker 1: he'll call that guys like you know what day is today, 868 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,800 Speaker 1: and you know it'll be like one get like a 869 00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 1: guy on offense really hasn't been right, so he doesn't 870 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 1: know exactly what he means. And on defense we actually 871 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,320 Speaker 1: get kind of confused as well too. So it's always 872 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,960 Speaker 1: a fun It's it's funny when you're there. How did 873 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 1: he change you as a player when he took over 874 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 1: on defense? How did you How do you feel like 875 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,680 Speaker 1: you got better. What did you really learn from him 876 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 1: as a defensive coordinator? I learned a lot as far 877 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:56,880 Speaker 1: as not only defensive concepts um and understandings like leverage, 878 00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,720 Speaker 1: force and run forces, understanding where everybody fits and gaps, 879 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:05,240 Speaker 1: but also offensive schemes as well too, especially when variable 880 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,520 Speaker 1: was into building at one point too. And so I've 881 00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:14,719 Speaker 1: learned a tremendous deal between rack Braves during that whole 882 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,520 Speaker 1: tenure and all that. So it really elevated my game 883 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,720 Speaker 1: to be able to play faster and continue to sustain 884 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,880 Speaker 1: a long career as well. Kel McNair said that he 885 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 1: really wanted to see the band get back together again, 886 00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,279 Speaker 1: The Rock Boys. I mean that had to have felt good. 887 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 1: You guys came out with quite a few celebrations in 888 00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 1: that win. But what about the chemistry that you guys 889 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 1: have had. I know it's been a slow start to 890 00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, but does it feel like it's headed in 891 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 1: the right direction? Oh? For sure, definitely, guys are much closer. 892 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 1: I mean it showed especially on Sunday, guys just going 893 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,359 Speaker 1: out there, flying around having fun and just celebrating with 894 00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:51,000 Speaker 1: each other, congratulating each other over making plays and one 895 00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:54,880 Speaker 1: of the bright spots was ta It's Royal Adams and 896 00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 1: so it was so exciting for everybody for him to 897 00:49:57,600 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 1: go in there when he showed it at practice, but 898 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:03,480 Speaker 1: to do would live on Sunday was super super electrifying 899 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,960 Speaker 1: and everybody was super super happy. I know, it's hard 900 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,040 Speaker 1: to see Bernardo McKinney go down. I mean, he hasn't 901 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,279 Speaker 1: missed very many games. I think that was Sunday was 902 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,759 Speaker 1: his fifth game that he's missed in his entire six 903 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,759 Speaker 1: years here. So with that being said, he goes down. 904 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,160 Speaker 1: But I feel like Terrell Adams, there are a lot 905 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:21,160 Speaker 1: of you guys as the linebackers group, you guys would 906 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,799 Speaker 1: always joke around with him. He was a fun guy 907 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,239 Speaker 1: for you guys when we were allowed in the locker room. 908 00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:27,839 Speaker 1: But you know, what does he like off the field? 909 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:29,760 Speaker 1: What's he like on the field. So on the field, 910 00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,160 Speaker 1: the same guy off the field, less a joke around, 911 00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,120 Speaker 1: you know, talker app all that. You know, just be 912 00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:38,120 Speaker 1: a guy. He's a guys guy for sure, and all 913 00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,360 Speaker 1: the field, a great guy man. He loves to be 914 00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,680 Speaker 1: out in the community, do whatever you can service service 915 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,960 Speaker 1: wise for other people as well too. And hey, he's 916 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,680 Speaker 1: a guy there. Man, as well too, so he's awesome. 917 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:52,840 Speaker 1: All right. So you guys are playing the Tennessee Titans. 918 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 1: Obviously you've been watching the news and what's been going 919 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,800 Speaker 1: on with them with all their positive COVID cases and 920 00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: here you are headed there on. But what's it been 921 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,000 Speaker 1: like this season in twenty twenty just playing with COVID. 922 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 1: I know we've talked in the offseason about just all 923 00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,040 Speaker 1: the precautions that you guys have to take. But now 924 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,719 Speaker 1: that the season is rolling, what's it been like for you? 925 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 1: Where do you think you've had to make the biggest sacrifices. 926 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,040 Speaker 1: I know you're really close to family, You've got family 927 00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:19,360 Speaker 1: in town. What's all I've been like for you? Yeah, 928 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,960 Speaker 1: it's been difficult. I mean you can't really so well. 929 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 1: One of the key issues is, of course being close 930 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 1: with family and stuff like that. As everybody else in 931 00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 1: the locker room has some families. Some guys families are 932 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,960 Speaker 1: in different states, and you know, haven't decided not to 933 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,040 Speaker 1: travel as well too because they're in COVID hotspots stuff 934 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 1: like that. So it's difficult on that end. I have 935 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,040 Speaker 1: family here, so not a lot of I don't want 936 00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 1: to be around them too much, especially my sister having 937 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 1: a baby as well too, And you know, coming from 938 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,239 Speaker 1: the locker room, you just never know, as a lot 939 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,760 Speaker 1: of COVID positive tests have been flaring up across across 940 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,840 Speaker 1: the league, so you know, it's mentally training in that capacity. 941 00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,680 Speaker 1: But then also we go to the locker room, it's 942 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,839 Speaker 1: hard to have camaraderie outside of the fastility because we're 943 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 1: banned from you know, we love to do our position 944 00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 1: dinners and stuff like that, I can't really do those. 945 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,200 Speaker 1: Advising us not to go over each other's houses and 946 00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,760 Speaker 1: stuff like that, to continue and maintain distancing and stuff 947 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,560 Speaker 1: like that. So it's it's really tough. I mean, we're 948 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 1: handling it pretty well as a team and we're just 949 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:25,120 Speaker 1: suggesting as far as what COVID has forced us to 950 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,040 Speaker 1: adapt to. So we just got to continue on and 951 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,000 Speaker 1: just stay strong mentally in that one in that aspect, 952 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 1: all right, So on Sunday you head to Nashville where 953 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,360 Speaker 1: last year, which seems like a million years ago, and 954 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,520 Speaker 1: it was a regular season with regular games in a 955 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,680 Speaker 1: regular locker room, you had a really big play and 956 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,800 Speaker 1: I often talk about this being what I think was 957 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 1: one of the biggest in season plays of the year, 958 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:52,000 Speaker 1: your eighty six yard return just as the Titans were 959 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: at first end goal. And I know you get a 960 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,960 Speaker 1: lot of flak for not scoring a touchdown on that play, 961 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,840 Speaker 1: and you've never scored a touchdown on defense. I actually 962 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 1: had to look that up because I feel like you've 963 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,880 Speaker 1: come close a lot of times. But looking back on 964 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,600 Speaker 1: that game, and you know, coming off such a big 965 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 1: win when the Titans were red hot this time last 966 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,719 Speaker 1: year too, what do you you know, what do you 967 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,320 Speaker 1: hope that you can go out and do on Sunday 968 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:18,160 Speaker 1: as you face another red hot Yeah? Yeah, I've been 969 00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,359 Speaker 1: close a few times, you know, so close yet so 970 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:24,440 Speaker 1: far it's so annoying. But we're gonna blame Zach on 971 00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,440 Speaker 1: that play because he didn't get him a block. But 972 00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,240 Speaker 1: come Sunday, I just hope to be as disruptive as 973 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,799 Speaker 1: can be in the same fashion, whether it's a force 974 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 1: pumble or just live in a backfield all day shutting 975 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:37,600 Speaker 1: down the run, because that's gonna be a big thing, 976 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,399 Speaker 1: especially with Henry running that rock. He's a big dude. 977 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,920 Speaker 1: Once you let him get rolling, it's tough to stop him. 978 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,879 Speaker 1: And then we got to take her a tan hill 979 00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,520 Speaker 1: as well too. You know he's throwing some dimes out there, 980 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,160 Speaker 1: and also he can hurt us by just running football 981 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,480 Speaker 1: as well too. He's pretty quick due, so we've got 982 00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,359 Speaker 1: to be able to get up inside the pocket again 983 00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,279 Speaker 1: in his phase, getting him off the spot of our 984 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,239 Speaker 1: dbs down the stretch.

Their 1074 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:14,360 Speaker 1: hits keep on coming. The Texans say they have it 1075 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:21,320 Speaker 1: and they do. No, it's Texans all excess, all right. 1076 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,080 Speaker 1: We put one hour in the books. We got one 1077 00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:26,560 Speaker 1: hour left to go. Plenty to do, including my predictions 1078 00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:31,120 Speaker 1: in the next hour for all NFL games that are 1079 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,320 Speaker 1: taking place, and I think they all are taking place 1080 00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,320 Speaker 1: that I know of at this particular moment. Colts had 1081 00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:40,280 Speaker 1: a little bit of a COVID issue this morning, and 1082 00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:43,880 Speaker 1: I want to say somewhere else, I think the Eagles 1083 00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,760 Speaker 1: put one of their backup offensive alignment on the COVID list. 1084 00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:52,680 Speaker 1: But as of now, we think all games are gonna 1085 00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,280 Speaker 1: be played, so I'll predict all of those straight up 1086 00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,720 Speaker 1: and against the spread. And sort of interesting that Vegas 1087 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:02,040 Speaker 1: feels like this one with the Texans. And I mean, listen, 1088 01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:04,800 Speaker 1: I said this all week. You listen to people talk 1089 01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,920 Speaker 1: about this game. You listen to national people talk about 1090 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,560 Speaker 1: this game. The Titans are about to blow them out. 1091 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,480 Speaker 1: The Titans are on the verge of the Super Bowl. 1092 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:14,960 Speaker 1: The Titans are a three and a half point favorite. 1093 01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,600 Speaker 1: That's it at home, three and a half point favorite 1094 01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,720 Speaker 1: over the Texans at home four oh against one and four, 1095 01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:23,600 Speaker 1: and Tennessee's only a three and a half point favorite. 1096 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,600 Speaker 1: Now you know, when I picked that game, I always 1097 01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:28,440 Speaker 1: I cannot go against my heart, in my head. But 1098 01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:30,480 Speaker 1: Texas could be an eighty point under two guys still 1099 01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:34,280 Speaker 1: would pick them. And yeah, but three and a half 1100 01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:37,440 Speaker 1: points kind of interesting. I thought, maybe some respect give 1101 01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:40,440 Speaker 1: the Texans, maybe not so much given the Titans. I mean, 1102 01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,880 Speaker 1: Titans beat one good team this year. However, the Titans 1103 01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:45,520 Speaker 1: did beat the team the Texas lost too in the 1104 01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:49,920 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. Then again, the Titans beat a team by 1105 01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:54,840 Speaker 1: three points, the Texans beat by sixteen points. So I'll 1106 01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:56,600 Speaker 1: not to think about it all right. I am your host, 1107 01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,320 Speaker 1: John Harris football Analyston Soid the Reporter, and it's time 1108 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:05,640 Speaker 1: for a little bit of Texans audio jukebox now today. 1109 01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:10,439 Speaker 1: It was very interesting to me, at least because two 1110 01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,640 Speaker 1: guys that I love. I love these two guys. I 1111 01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,320 Speaker 1: love the way they play. I was a huge fan 1112 01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:17,800 Speaker 1: Larremie Tumpson for a long time, followed him from the 1113 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:19,480 Speaker 1: time he was in high school all the way through 1114 01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:22,960 Speaker 1: getting to the pros. I was so happy when the 1115 01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,320 Speaker 1: Texans got him. Look, I knew the price tag was high, 1116 01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:27,400 Speaker 1: but I was so happy when the Texans got him 1117 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,200 Speaker 1: because to me, that's what left tackle looks like. We're 1118 01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 1: spoiled with Dwayne Brown, were spoiled Laremy Tunsil. The flip 1119 01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,560 Speaker 1: side of today's interview was PJ Hall. Now, if you 1120 01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:41,200 Speaker 1: don't know PJ. PJ came from the Raiders as a 1121 01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:46,160 Speaker 1: waiver claim during training camp. The Raiders didn't like the 1122 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,440 Speaker 1: way that PJ came to camp and their thought out 1123 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,280 Speaker 1: of shape, and they waived him. And as soon as 1124 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,680 Speaker 1: they waved him, I thought, do it, do it, do it, 1125 01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:58,800 Speaker 1: do it, go claim him, Please Texans claim him. I 1126 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:00,320 Speaker 1: didn't know at the time that he had shown up 1127 01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:04,960 Speaker 1: bout of shape, but I had known PJ from covering 1128 01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:08,439 Speaker 1: him at Sam Houston State. I think my first game 1129 01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:13,360 Speaker 1: was against Hview back in twenty sixteen, I believe. I 1130 01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,720 Speaker 1: think that's what it was. And he had been the 1131 01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,440 Speaker 1: FCS National Play Defensive Player of the Week the week 1132 01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:23,120 Speaker 1: before and I watched that game and I'm like, oh 1133 01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:27,240 Speaker 1: my god, this guy's a monster. And so over the years, 1134 01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:28,840 Speaker 1: I would talk to head coach Sam he's a State 1135 01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:33,800 Speaker 1: Kasey Keler about PJ. And I looked up PJ on 1136 01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:38,920 Speaker 1: social media. The social handle is p jj Watt. Now 1137 01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,840 Speaker 1: he's on the same team as JJ Watt and PJ 1138 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:45,840 Speaker 1: Hall has been making some plays. So let's hear from 1139 01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:51,720 Speaker 1: the former Sam Houston State Bearcat PJ Hall, who met 1140 01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:53,320 Speaker 1: the media. I think he met the media for the 1141 01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:57,480 Speaker 1: first time in Houston, if I'm being If I'm being honest, 1142 01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,960 Speaker 1: I don't remember any other time. So let's go back 1143 01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:04,560 Speaker 1: to that Twitter handle thing I was talking about. It's 1144 01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:09,800 Speaker 1: still at pjj watt And of course PJ Hall talked 1145 01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,880 Speaker 1: about how he got that Twitter handle and the fact 1146 01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:15,760 Speaker 1: that he kept it. Started off in college. Um was 1147 01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:17,760 Speaker 1: making a bunch of place, um, but I was. It 1148 01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:19,640 Speaker 1: was actually when I was a freshman, UM, so I 1149 01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:21,720 Speaker 1: was bed balls, getting a bunch of sacks and everything. 1150 01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:23,959 Speaker 1: Some of my friends, I mean, my teammates started calling 1151 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,560 Speaker 1: me p jj watt. So it just stuck. That's what 1152 01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:29,160 Speaker 1: It just stuck throughout my college's career. So I changed out. 1153 01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,120 Speaker 1: That's when my Twitter handle since then. And so you 1154 01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:33,040 Speaker 1: left it there? Yeah, yeah, I just left it there. 1155 01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:36,400 Speaker 1: I have you ever talked to JJ about it? Yeah? Yeah, 1156 01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,479 Speaker 1: we talked about it. Yeah, pretty cool. That was pretty 1157 01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:41,360 Speaker 1: cool that you know that I looked up to him 1158 01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,440 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and now we're praying together. So 1159 01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:47,360 Speaker 1: PJ Hall, what's it like playing next to your Twitter 1160 01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,840 Speaker 1: handle's namesake JJ watt Ye. It's real cool. It's you know, 1161 01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,240 Speaker 1: somebody I like, I've always watched, you know, and you know, 1162 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,400 Speaker 1: looked up to, and then to be playing alongside of 1163 01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:58,000 Speaker 1: somebody at that caliber, it's it's great. Now when you 1164 01:03:58,040 --> 01:03:59,880 Speaker 1: see PJ for the first time, you kind of look 1165 01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,160 Speaker 1: him thinking, Okay, you know he's defensivelignment. He's a little 1166 01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:06,480 Speaker 1: shorter than most guys, but you look from his waist 1167 01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:10,720 Speaker 1: down and you're like, dude, he is built like a 1168 01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:15,800 Speaker 1: mack truck. And his pro day at Sam Houston State 1169 01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:20,480 Speaker 1: was one of the more impressive pro days that anybody 1170 01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:22,840 Speaker 1: had ever done. He didn't get an invite to the 1171 01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:25,720 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. He didn't get an invite to the Combine, 1172 01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:29,400 Speaker 1: so his pro day was one of those in which 1173 01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,200 Speaker 1: he had to show it off. And I was scheduled 1174 01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:37,160 Speaker 1: to go down there and watch it, and something happened 1175 01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:39,760 Speaker 1: and I couldn't go, but I knew that it was 1176 01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:45,040 Speaker 1: it was happening. PJ Hall at like six one in 1177 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:50,680 Speaker 1: three o eight. He had a four seven three forty. 1178 01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:54,760 Speaker 1: He did a thirty eight inch vertical and had thirty 1179 01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:59,400 Speaker 1: six bench press reps of two twenty five. He would 1180 01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:02,560 Speaker 1: have been a superstar at the combine had he gotten 1181 01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,400 Speaker 1: the invite. It was a shame that he didn't. Now 1182 01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:09,640 Speaker 1: that doesn't even bring into account the fact that, as 1183 01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,880 Speaker 1: the story goes, he squatted seven hundred thirty pounds at 1184 01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:15,040 Speaker 1: Sam Houston State and somebody asked him about it today 1185 01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:16,920 Speaker 1: at the presser. Yeah, that's my best. That's like the 1186 01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:20,440 Speaker 1: highest since I felt like I've never needed to go 1187 01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,000 Speaker 1: go more than that. But yeah, I've hit seven thirty 1188 01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:25,800 Speaker 1: in high school. The man hits seven hundred and thirty 1189 01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:31,160 Speaker 1: pounds on the squad in high school, and he didn't 1190 01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:35,439 Speaker 1: need to go beyond that. He said, I love this guy, man, 1191 01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:40,200 Speaker 1: absolutely love this guy. All right. He came back to 1192 01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:45,040 Speaker 1: Texas after his time with the Raiders. You know, he've 1193 01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:46,560 Speaker 1: been there for a couple of years. Actually played against 1194 01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:49,720 Speaker 1: the Texans in twenty nineteen, so he was there at 1195 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:53,160 Speaker 1: twenty eight twenty nineteen. What was it that he learned 1196 01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:56,520 Speaker 1: during his time with the Raiders. I'm just learning, learning 1197 01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,440 Speaker 1: how to be a pro, learning how things go, and 1198 01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:01,240 Speaker 1: just actually things to click when they needed to. I 1199 01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:04,560 Speaker 1: feel like stuff happened over there and I can control it. 1200 01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:06,400 Speaker 1: And so once I got here, everything's out of rolling 1201 01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:08,400 Speaker 1: just in time, and I feel like it's going good, 1202 01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:10,280 Speaker 1: and that's make it start to stay focused and stay 1203 01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:13,040 Speaker 1: on track. Right now, I know that sounds sort of 1204 01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:16,080 Speaker 1: weird in some sense to a degree, like man, things 1205 01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:18,280 Speaker 1: kind of got out of control. That can happen to 1206 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,880 Speaker 1: a lot of guys for whatever reason. You have a 1207 01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:23,880 Speaker 1: week or two where you're banged up and you're not 1208 01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:26,880 Speaker 1: playing at your best, and also that somebody else steps 1209 01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:28,920 Speaker 1: in there and maybe that isn't as good as you, 1210 01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,080 Speaker 1: but makes a couple of plays and before you know it, 1211 01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:33,280 Speaker 1: things a snowball. You haven't played for three or four weeks. 1212 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,280 Speaker 1: I speak from experience on that, and then your confidence 1213 01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:39,280 Speaker 1: is down and it's just a bad scene. You just 1214 01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:43,600 Speaker 1: need change the environment, basically, and that's what PJ got 1215 01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,320 Speaker 1: coming back here to the state of Texas where he's from. 1216 01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,560 Speaker 1: He went to Segin or he's from Segin and so 1217 01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:54,080 Speaker 1: that's a big big deal for him. So being back 1218 01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:58,040 Speaker 1: in Texas is a very big deal for PJ. Hall. Yeah, 1219 01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,720 Speaker 1: that's definitely more comfortable, which feels great knowing that, Like, 1220 01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,440 Speaker 1: you know, my family's here, I'm from Skiing. So it's 1221 01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:05,720 Speaker 1: two and a half twent a half hours down a road. 1222 01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:07,560 Speaker 1: It just feels like I'm back at home. It's just 1223 01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,680 Speaker 1: a fresh air, like a first start. Everything was going perfect. 1224 01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:14,760 Speaker 1: When a talented player goes from one area to the next, 1225 01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:18,800 Speaker 1: gets a change of scenery and thinks, click, that's what 1226 01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:20,840 Speaker 1: you're seeing with PJ. Hall right now, and hopefully it 1227 01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:24,760 Speaker 1: continues because he has been disruptive. He has been very difficult, 1228 01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:26,680 Speaker 1: difficult to block. Like I said, you're talking about a 1229 01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:30,480 Speaker 1: guy that's under sixty one, three hundred pounds, three or 1230 01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:35,240 Speaker 1: five benches seven thirty and runs a four seven three forty. 1231 01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,200 Speaker 1: So you're talking about an athlete that is really really 1232 01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,320 Speaker 1: difficult to block, and you're gonna get to a point, 1233 01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,280 Speaker 1: I think in due time where he's gonna demand a 1234 01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,800 Speaker 1: double team or he's just gonna wreck the play from 1235 01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:51,360 Speaker 1: the inside. And that's something hopefully that he'll continue to 1236 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,040 Speaker 1: do in his time with the Houston Texans. Now he 1237 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:58,960 Speaker 1: gets to play at Energy Stadium, but he's accustomed to 1238 01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:02,040 Speaker 1: play at Energy Stadium because he played for four years 1239 01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,360 Speaker 1: and a bottle of piney Woods, which took place right 1240 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:07,120 Speaker 1: there at Energy Stadium. How cool is it to play 1241 01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:10,480 Speaker 1: your professional games in the same place that you played 1242 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:13,440 Speaker 1: during your college games. Yeah, I always it was a 1243 01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:16,080 Speaker 1: little a possibility, but it's it's cool to being able 1244 01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:18,160 Speaker 1: to be here, like you play here in your home game. 1245 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,639 Speaker 1: I've had success in his stadium playing the Times, as 1246 01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:24,080 Speaker 1: you know, playing for about of Piney Woods, so it 1247 01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:27,639 Speaker 1: always was good, comfortable here, So I love you. Yeah, 1248 01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,639 Speaker 1: and Sam was four and oh so of course, um yeah, 1249 01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:34,360 Speaker 1: that makes PJC four. No, he didn't play. Was he 1250 01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:37,080 Speaker 1: here for week t I he was here for week two? Yeah? Unfortunately, 1251 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:40,240 Speaker 1: so he's four, he's five and two. That's far at 1252 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,000 Speaker 1: Energy Stadium. So that's not a bad record for one. 1253 01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:48,519 Speaker 1: P J. Hall. All right. Laramie Tonsol he also met 1254 01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:52,240 Speaker 1: with the media today. He of course tons of things 1255 01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:55,240 Speaker 1: to say, but you're no, he's gonna get a ton 1256 01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:58,599 Speaker 1: out of Laramie Tonsil, but he'll just have little things 1257 01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,160 Speaker 1: in what he says. He'll cut right to the quick 1258 01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:03,720 Speaker 1: on you. And he was asked about his play this year, 1259 01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:06,920 Speaker 1: which I think has been very very good. A lot 1260 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:11,000 Speaker 1: of analytics sites have already agreed with that. But here's 1261 01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,920 Speaker 1: how I know. Often we mentioned Laramie's name during the 1262 01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:18,000 Speaker 1: game Fall Star penalty got beat for a sack. We 1263 01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:21,080 Speaker 1: have hardly mentioned him during a broadcast and he was 1264 01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:23,760 Speaker 1: asked about how he has played thus far this year, 1265 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,479 Speaker 1: and that's what he had to say, Man, it's just 1266 01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:27,680 Speaker 1: the beginning of the season. I got a lot of 1267 01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:29,840 Speaker 1: games to play, a lot of good teams, a lot 1268 01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,920 Speaker 1: of good matchups. So I'm not really worried about that. 1269 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 1: I'm just worried about him proving every week. I said 1270 01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:37,519 Speaker 1: earlier how much I loved Larry mctunsill, and that question 1271 01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:41,360 Speaker 1: was posed in essence, he was, You're playing great, You're 1272 01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,920 Speaker 1: doing an excellent job. Analytics sites are loved you. I 1273 01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:45,920 Speaker 1: think Aaron Wilson's question it was a good question, it 1274 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,559 Speaker 1: was a great question. But Laramie said, look, man, hof cuddle, 1275 01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:52,360 Speaker 1: I got a lot to do. I gotta protect number four, 1276 01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:53,640 Speaker 1: That's what I gotta do. But I got I got 1277 01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:55,920 Speaker 1: a lot to do. It's early in the season, but 1278 01:09:56,280 --> 01:10:00,280 Speaker 1: Laramie has definitely done a lot of good things, and 1279 01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:03,439 Speaker 1: he put a lot of work into the off season. 1280 01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:06,080 Speaker 1: That's where he was really able to make some hay 1281 01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,880 Speaker 1: in getting ready for the twenty twenty season after he 1282 01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:11,960 Speaker 1: had the shoulder surgery. And this is what he had 1283 01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:15,720 Speaker 1: to say talking about his offseason big shout out the 1284 01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,200 Speaker 1: ability for sure. I hope he hears this, but you know, 1285 01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:20,000 Speaker 1: I gotta give him all the credit, and then I 1286 01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:22,840 Speaker 1: gotta get a lot of credit to our doctors and 1287 01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:26,120 Speaker 1: our trainers also helped me with my shoulder. LARMI had 1288 01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:30,000 Speaker 1: that shoulder surgery in the off season, but got himself ready. Billy, 1289 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,439 Speaker 1: I would imagine is his trainer that helped him get 1290 01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:34,640 Speaker 1: through it. But the team doctors and trainers here with 1291 01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:36,720 Speaker 1: the Texans did a great job piecing him together and 1292 01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:39,280 Speaker 1: making sure that Larmy was ready to go. I think 1293 01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:41,120 Speaker 1: his shoulders bothered him this year, but I don't know 1294 01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,960 Speaker 1: if it's the surgically repaired one. But either way, he 1295 01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:45,439 Speaker 1: has been ready to go, and like I said earlier, 1296 01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:49,519 Speaker 1: he is a full go for Sunday, and he'll have 1297 01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,720 Speaker 1: to face a guy he faced in twenty eighteen. It's 1298 01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:55,080 Speaker 1: just Jevy and Clowne. He was with the Texans, tencils 1299 01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:58,320 Speaker 1: the Dolphins and now Tensils with the Texans and Clownie's 1300 01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:00,479 Speaker 1: with the Titans. Is where he had to say about 1301 01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:04,400 Speaker 1: facing Jadevion Clowning. Great player. We gotta get we gotta 1302 01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:05,920 Speaker 1: get a lot of hands on him. He's one of 1303 01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:07,760 Speaker 1: the top pass for uses in the NFL and he's 1304 01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:09,840 Speaker 1: well respected for sure, so we gotta find a way 1305 01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:12,000 Speaker 1: to hel them. There's no question stopping a guy like 1306 01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:16,200 Speaker 1: Jadevion Clowning or slowing him down is going to be 1307 01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:20,920 Speaker 1: a major task. Now, I said earlier, my guest is 1308 01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:24,799 Speaker 1: that the Titans will probably circle one of the guards, 1309 01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:28,360 Speaker 1: and Senil Climte may be the guard that they circle. 1310 01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,080 Speaker 1: Because Zach has got some heavy hands. Maybe Clowning wants 1311 01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:34,599 Speaker 1: to go against Calimte is a little shorter, shorter arms. 1312 01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:37,120 Speaker 1: Maybe it's a better matchup for him. Here's a Laramie 1313 01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:40,240 Speaker 1: had to say about playing right next to Senel Calimte 1314 01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:42,439 Speaker 1: the last few weeks. It's been great. Actually, when I 1315 01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:45,040 Speaker 1: first got here, when I got traded from the Dolphins, 1316 01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:47,479 Speaker 1: I actually played my first game with Cineo we gets 1317 01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:49,679 Speaker 1: the Saints, so I feel like we have real good chemistry. 1318 01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:51,760 Speaker 1: He's been playing well and we just gotta keep it up, 1319 01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,840 Speaker 1: keep working. One of the questions that Laramie got was 1320 01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:58,559 Speaker 1: in reference to this team and this offense starting to 1321 01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:03,920 Speaker 1: get its groove. On last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, 1322 01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:07,000 Speaker 1: he brought a really interesting thing that I've talked about 1323 01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,720 Speaker 1: with people off the air, but he brought it up, 1324 01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:11,519 Speaker 1: and so I'm want to hit on it right here. 1325 01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:15,320 Speaker 1: But here's Laron me talking about finding an identity for 1326 01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:17,799 Speaker 1: the offense. For sure. I think one of the biggest 1327 01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:21,800 Speaker 1: things for us was trying to find identity. And once 1328 01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:24,160 Speaker 1: we find identity, we can get the ball. We can 1329 01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:26,360 Speaker 1: get the ball running. For sure. I think that's a 1330 01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:28,920 Speaker 1: pretty important thing to understand. What kind of team you are? 1331 01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:32,440 Speaker 1: Are you a smash mouth team? Are you an exotic 1332 01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:35,000 Speaker 1: smash mouth team? Are you a spread team? You power 1333 01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:37,639 Speaker 1: spread team? Do you want to get it in ten 1334 01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:39,160 Speaker 1: and eleven personnel all the time? You want to be 1335 01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:42,840 Speaker 1: a twelve personnel a lot? What what's the identity of 1336 01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:45,120 Speaker 1: your particular offense? Do you want to just pound the 1337 01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:48,080 Speaker 1: ball down people's throats or do you feel like as 1338 01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:51,080 Speaker 1: Andres talked about this offense, do you have to throw 1339 01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:54,240 Speaker 1: into a running game. Maybe that's the identity of this team. 1340 01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:57,600 Speaker 1: Maybe we've found out on Sunday against the Jacks. What 1341 01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:01,240 Speaker 1: the identity of this team and this offense in particular 1342 01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,439 Speaker 1: is going forward. I think Laramie had a great point. 1343 01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:06,920 Speaker 1: They're talking about the identity of the team. All right, 1344 01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:11,439 Speaker 1: That was a little Texans audio jukebox with Pjhall and 1345 01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:16,000 Speaker 1: Laramie Tunso. Coming up next, there are thirteen games in 1346 01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,639 Speaker 1: the NFL this weekend. Fingers crossed that they all take place. 1347 01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:22,639 Speaker 1: I will predict them all straight up and against the spread. 1348 01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:27,120 Speaker 1: And next right here on Texans All Access.

The schedule got changed 1464 01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:36,360 Speaker 1: last week, so I don't know what they were beforehand, 1465 01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:40,000 Speaker 1: but those are the scheduled buys. There might be buys 1466 01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:43,799 Speaker 1: that come out of COVID, but for right now, Raiders, Chargers, 1467 01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:46,320 Speaker 1: they have bye weeks. Raiders coming off that win against 1468 01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:49,080 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, Chargers a tough one against the Saints, lost 1469 01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,439 Speaker 1: in overtime Monday night, was the heck of a football game. 1470 01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:54,479 Speaker 1: The Saints played the Chargers on that Monday night. They're 1471 01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:56,760 Speaker 1: at a bye week, and the Seahawks aren't a buy 1472 01:20:56,920 --> 01:21:00,880 Speaker 1: at five and oh as, the Seahawks had that tremendous 1473 01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:05,479 Speaker 1: win against Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night last week. So 1474 01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:10,120 Speaker 1: this week, boy, we got a little bit of everything. 1475 01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,360 Speaker 1: We had a couple of Monday night games, we got 1476 01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:15,240 Speaker 1: a Sunday night game that could be kind of interesting, 1477 01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:19,240 Speaker 1: and we got everything in between. All right, let's get 1478 01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:22,880 Speaker 1: to your noon games. Oh man, Wait, a second, any 1479 01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:25,040 Speaker 1: of my music, don't I any of my music? Right? 1480 01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:29,919 Speaker 1: Give my music my stro All right? There it is okay. 1481 01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:33,320 Speaker 1: Now I play it faint in the background, but yet 1482 01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:35,880 Speaker 1: it's you can hear it, and I can hear it. 1483 01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:37,360 Speaker 1: And that's the most important thing, because it's kind of 1484 01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:39,240 Speaker 1: my groove, you know, it's kind of my jam. As 1485 01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:41,599 Speaker 1: they say, I don't know, is that like a nineties term? 1486 01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:44,880 Speaker 1: That's my jam? That's probably something that my wife might say, 1487 01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:47,840 Speaker 1: that's my jam. Maybe I shouldn't say that. My wife 1488 01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:52,000 Speaker 1: is cool and all, but if there's any phrasing that 1489 01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:55,120 Speaker 1: she uses, probably I should stay away from it. Either way, 1490 01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:58,280 Speaker 1: I like having the music from NFL films going in 1491 01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,679 Speaker 1: the background. All right, let's get these games. First, new 1492 01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:03,519 Speaker 1: game is Texans Titans. I mentioned earlier the Titans are 1493 01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:05,880 Speaker 1: a three and a half point favorite at home. I 1494 01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:07,400 Speaker 1: never go against my heart in my head, so I 1495 01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:09,320 Speaker 1: always picked the Texans to win and to cover that. 1496 01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:12,720 Speaker 1: But that three and a half point favorite, that three 1497 01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:16,920 Speaker 1: a half point number four the Titans from Vegas kind 1498 01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:20,559 Speaker 1: of interesting. It's not any higher than that. Let's go 1499 01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:22,120 Speaker 1: to our next game. This is the first one we 1500 01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:29,440 Speaker 1: can talk about. New game in Indianapolis. Now, the Colts 1501 01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:34,719 Speaker 1: on Friday morning today got everybody out of the building, 1502 01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:40,920 Speaker 1: shut the building down to examine four positive tests. They retested. 1503 01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:43,120 Speaker 1: They may have done it a second time. Put out 1504 01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:46,960 Speaker 1: statements afternoon that those were false positives. They feel good 1505 01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:52,400 Speaker 1: about that game is on. The Colts ended up losing 1506 01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:55,240 Speaker 1: last week against an AFC North foe. They lost to 1507 01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:59,760 Speaker 1: Cleveland in Cleveland. Biggest issue Phil Rivers thrown in her 1508 01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:04,040 Speaker 1: set season pick six. Matter of fact, last week, well, 1509 01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,519 Speaker 1: Philip through an interception that Ronnie Harrison took back to 1510 01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:10,479 Speaker 1: the house. Coats did win. I'm sorry. The Colts lost 1511 01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:14,120 Speaker 1: by nine, so the pick six wasn't the only thing. However, 1512 01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:16,920 Speaker 1: the only other offense that they had, I'm sorry. The 1513 01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:18,760 Speaker 1: other touchdown they had was one hundred and one yard 1514 01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:21,080 Speaker 1: returned by Isaiah Rodgers. So they didn't get a ton 1515 01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:23,599 Speaker 1: of offense in that game against the Browns. The Browns 1516 01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:27,559 Speaker 1: don't have a great defense. However, the Bengals lost stout 1517 01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:31,000 Speaker 1: nose tackle and a guy we all love, former tex 1518 01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:33,400 Speaker 1: and DJ reader. He is out for the year. That 1519 01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:35,720 Speaker 1: is gonna be a problem. However, the Bengals did get 1520 01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,719 Speaker 1: back Geno Atkins it's not gonna matter though. The Colts 1521 01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:41,400 Speaker 1: are playing at home. They played very very well at home. 1522 01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:45,240 Speaker 1: There's seven and a half point favorite. I think last 1523 01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:48,759 Speaker 1: week was maybe the first time we saw Joe Burrow 1524 01:23:49,240 --> 01:23:52,320 Speaker 1: blink if you will. Now that was the Ravens. The 1525 01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,519 Speaker 1: Colts have a great defense too. I think Joey Bee 1526 01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:56,880 Speaker 1: is gonna have some missue. I'm gonna take the Colts 1527 01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:59,200 Speaker 1: to win this by ten. That's gonna cover the seven 1528 01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:01,639 Speaker 1: and a half. So fire on a Colts to win 1529 01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:06,880 Speaker 1: and to cover the oh and five. Falcons also had 1530 01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:09,720 Speaker 1: a little bit of a COVID situation this week was 1531 01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:13,160 Speaker 1: one of those. One of their one of their employees 1532 01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:17,560 Speaker 1: in say players staff. They checked everybody else, they retested, 1533 01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:22,000 Speaker 1: they've retested. Falcons opened up the building again today to 1534 01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:25,320 Speaker 1: get ready to go to Minnesota. And yes, Minnesota's won 1535 01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:29,880 Speaker 1: and four. But Minnesota played thus far this year the 1536 01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:33,439 Speaker 1: undefeated Packers, a three and two Colts team. They played 1537 01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:35,639 Speaker 1: the Texans that won and four. They won that game, 1538 01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:38,760 Speaker 1: and look, the Texans are as good a one of 1539 01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:41,200 Speaker 1: four teams are gonna find. The Vikings are one and four. 1540 01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:44,840 Speaker 1: But the Vikings ended up losing again last week and 1541 01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:47,360 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook in the process, and it was a game 1542 01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:50,559 Speaker 1: against the Seahawks. They had they had it right, they 1543 01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:53,200 Speaker 1: just couldn't hang on. It's just a better Vikings team 1544 01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:56,599 Speaker 1: than people think. It is not a good Falcons team. However, 1545 01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:58,680 Speaker 1: the Falcons have had a few games that they could 1546 01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:01,400 Speaker 1: have easily have won. It saved Quinn's job. They didn't 1547 01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:05,240 Speaker 1: win any of them. Falconsin five fired Thomas de Mitroff 1548 01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:08,560 Speaker 1: and Dan Quinn and that makes Minnesota four and a 1549 01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:12,200 Speaker 1: half point favorite against the Vikings. The Falcons will rally. 1550 01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:14,920 Speaker 1: They did last year. They came out of the loss 1551 01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:17,559 Speaker 1: of the Texans, and I think another game after that 1552 01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:22,280 Speaker 1: they lost big. They were brutal, went to New Orleans 1553 01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:24,960 Speaker 1: and beat New Orleans in New Orleans twenty seven to 1554 01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:27,679 Speaker 1: nine or something like that. I don't think that happens here. 1555 01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:31,320 Speaker 1: I think the Vikings, even without Dalvin Cook, the Vikings 1556 01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:34,120 Speaker 1: will rely on Alexander Madison. I think that's gonna be 1557 01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:37,439 Speaker 1: enough for the Vikings to win and to cover that 1558 01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:41,120 Speaker 1: four and a half, to beat the Atlanta Falcons and 1559 01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:45,760 Speaker 1: to cover that number. Okay, Broncos Patriots. It feels like 1560 01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:47,519 Speaker 1: this game has kind of been on the hook for 1561 01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:50,400 Speaker 1: a while, and they're gonna play it on Sunday in 1562 01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:56,439 Speaker 1: New England. It does appear as if both teams maybe 1563 01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:59,120 Speaker 1: getting their quarterbacks back for this one. Had they played 1564 01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:03,519 Speaker 1: last week, Drew Locke nor Cam Newton would have played. 1565 01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:07,479 Speaker 1: Would have been a Jared Stidham versus Man. What's the 1566 01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,760 Speaker 1: Broncos backup at this point? Trying to remember who to 1567 01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:13,800 Speaker 1: have back there? Oh, Jeff Driscoll, Oh man, Wow, So 1568 01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:18,000 Speaker 1: Cam looks like he's gotten off the COVID list. Who's 1569 01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:20,839 Speaker 1: like Drew Locke has gotten back off of the shoulder 1570 01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:23,240 Speaker 1: injury sufered against Pittsburgh a few weeks ago. So it's 1571 01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:26,560 Speaker 1: gonna be Drew Locke against Cam Newton. Broncos at Patriots 1572 01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:29,439 Speaker 1: with Locke le Broncos are a different team, but there's 1573 01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:33,479 Speaker 1: no von Miller's nor Courtland Sutton. This team is beat 1574 01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:37,040 Speaker 1: up for the Broncos, and I think that's gonna be 1575 01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:39,960 Speaker 1: the big factor. The Patriots are favored by nine at 1576 01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:43,760 Speaker 1: home at Lett Stadium with Cam. Take the Patriots to 1577 01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:46,479 Speaker 1: win this thing going away. I think they win it 1578 01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:48,840 Speaker 1: by ten or more. That's more than nine Patriots to 1579 01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:54,559 Speaker 1: win and cover. And then the game of the day 1580 01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:58,360 Speaker 1: not really, but it's kind of fun to think about. 1581 01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:01,080 Speaker 1: It used to be whatever the Giants took on the 1582 01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:03,680 Speaker 1: formerly the team in formerly you know those Redskins, And 1583 01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:07,040 Speaker 1: he used to be a blast. Afternoon game. John Madden 1584 01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:10,040 Speaker 1: and Pat Summer all call in the game. He used 1585 01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:12,920 Speaker 1: to be a blast. Joe Gibbs against Bill Parcels New 1586 01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:17,080 Speaker 1: This is Joe Judge against Ron Rivera. This is Kyle 1587 01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:23,960 Speaker 1: Allen against Daniel Jones. Could be Alex Smith Washington. Nobody knows. 1588 01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:26,719 Speaker 1: The Giants are favored by three because I think Vegas 1589 01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:28,920 Speaker 1: has no clue what to do with this game. The 1590 01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:32,080 Speaker 1: Giants took the Cowboys to the last seconds. They lose 1591 01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:35,680 Speaker 1: thirty seven thirty four. Last week, Giants owned five. The 1592 01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:38,439 Speaker 1: Washington football team one in Week one and lost four 1593 01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:40,880 Speaker 1: in a row. So those teams have lost nine in 1594 01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:43,360 Speaker 1: a row collectively. I'm not sure what to think about 1595 01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:45,960 Speaker 1: either thing. But you know what, I think Washington is 1596 01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,120 Speaker 1: a little better. But the Giants are playing at home. 1597 01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:51,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that Giants get a win for Joe Judge. 1598 01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:53,040 Speaker 1: How about that? So Giants are gonna get the win. 1599 01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:56,280 Speaker 1: It'll be about three. So yeah, you know, let's get 1600 01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:57,760 Speaker 1: the Giants to win in a cover. It's the only 1601 01:27:57,800 --> 01:27:59,320 Speaker 1: time I'll do that for the Giants, I think all 1602 01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:04,479 Speaker 1: year long. Ravens and Eagles. Boy, the Eagles last week 1603 01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,320 Speaker 1: got that thing within two points thirty one to twenty 1604 01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:11,559 Speaker 1: nine against the Steelers, but couldn't bring it home. Defense 1605 01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:15,080 Speaker 1: got shredded. I think Lamar Jackson will do the same 1606 01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:18,720 Speaker 1: in Philly this week. I think the Eagles might get 1607 01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:21,080 Speaker 1: a couple up on the board, but not enough. The 1608 01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:23,639 Speaker 1: Ravens are going to pound the ball down to Eagles 1609 01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:25,880 Speaker 1: throats and see if they can take it. Baltimore's faired 1610 01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:29,680 Speaker 1: by nine on the road. That's probably about right. I 1611 01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:32,160 Speaker 1: feel like a twenty two thirteen kind of game. But 1612 01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 1: you know what, whenever I'm leaning that way, just take 1613 01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:37,000 Speaker 1: the favor and go a little bit more. So I'm 1614 01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:40,160 Speaker 1: gonna go Ravens to win and to cover that nine 1615 01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:44,840 Speaker 1: against the Eagles on the road. All right, this might 1616 01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:50,960 Speaker 1: be the game of the day at noon. Browns v. Steelers. 1617 01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,360 Speaker 1: Did anybody see that coming before the year? I kind 1618 01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:56,200 Speaker 1: of did. I told Mark he want to believe me, 1619 01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:57,479 Speaker 1: I said, you know what, Mark, I'll want to hype 1620 01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:02,240 Speaker 1: about the Browns last year was I didn't think it 1621 01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:03,559 Speaker 1: was deserved. I didn't think it was a really good 1622 01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:06,000 Speaker 1: football team, I said, but you know what they've been 1623 01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:09,000 Speaker 1: together for you know a little bit. Now. Kevin Stefanski 1624 01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:13,040 Speaker 1: runs an offense that I think suits them very well defensively. 1625 01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:17,080 Speaker 1: Get Miles Garrett back off the season long suspension, and 1626 01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:19,840 Speaker 1: he got suspended after that Steelers Thursday night game last 1627 01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:24,599 Speaker 1: year playing at Pittsburgh. Mike tomun has said Myles Garrett 1628 01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:29,559 Speaker 1: is just another Cleveland Browns player. His message to his players, 1629 01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:33,519 Speaker 1: don't mess with it, do your job, do it well, 1630 01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:35,120 Speaker 1: and the Steelers will come out of here with the win. 1631 01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:39,240 Speaker 1: The Browns are hot, but objs wont to watch. He 1632 01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:42,559 Speaker 1: did not get into building on Friday. He's been sick. 1633 01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:45,639 Speaker 1: They say it's not COVID. It may not be. We're 1634 01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:48,640 Speaker 1: counting moving towards the flu season, but that could be 1635 01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:51,120 Speaker 1: one to watch with Odell Beckham Junior if he does 1636 01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:53,400 Speaker 1: not play. He has been a really important piece on 1637 01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:55,479 Speaker 1: the offense, which is what everybody thought when he was 1638 01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:59,280 Speaker 1: trading to the Browns. But he wasn't last year. Kevin 1639 01:29:59,320 --> 01:30:01,559 Speaker 1: Stefanski so offense found a way to get him involved, 1640 01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:04,120 Speaker 1: and I think the Browns now it's better when he's involved. 1641 01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:07,400 Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be at issue this week. Pittsburgh 1642 01:30:07,400 --> 01:30:10,040 Speaker 1: will give up some points. Pittsburgh will score more than 1643 01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:12,800 Speaker 1: the Browns, and they will do They will do it 1644 01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:14,960 Speaker 1: to a tune of more than three and a half. 1645 01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:18,680 Speaker 1: Take the Steelers lay the points. Steelers win by a 1646 01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:23,400 Speaker 1: touchdown thirty five twenty eight at Hines Field. Now, if 1647 01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:26,200 Speaker 1: that's not the game of the day at noon, it 1648 01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:31,759 Speaker 1: may be the Bears at the Panthers. Matt Rule has 1649 01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:36,040 Speaker 1: done a wonderful job. I was told a few years 1650 01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:40,400 Speaker 1: ago that Matt Rule, even at one and ten out 1651 01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:43,639 Speaker 1: of Baylor, is one of the best interviews. I think 1652 01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:47,000 Speaker 1: that you're interviewed for four or five different jobs. That 1653 01:30:47,120 --> 01:30:50,640 Speaker 1: he was an incredible interview, But just the optics of 1654 01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:54,360 Speaker 1: going one in ten at Baylor just weren't great. Well, 1655 01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:56,559 Speaker 1: the next couple of years, he built Baylor football to 1656 01:30:56,680 --> 01:31:00,800 Speaker 1: be a New Year's six program. He took his game 1657 01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:04,360 Speaker 1: the NFL. The Panthers now three and two at home. 1658 01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:07,160 Speaker 1: I guess the four and one Bears. The Bears are 1659 01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:12,560 Speaker 1: up and down. Some offense here, not enough offense there. Defensively, 1660 01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:15,479 Speaker 1: they've got studs. We know that. I think that's going 1661 01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:18,360 Speaker 1: to end up being the issue for Carolina without Christian 1662 01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:21,080 Speaker 1: McCaffrey just yet. I think that this is where the 1663 01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:23,879 Speaker 1: Panthers kind of bogged down. I think the Chicago Bears, 1664 01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:27,439 Speaker 1: behind Nick Foles, get enough defense to slot on the 1665 01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:31,360 Speaker 1: Panthers and end up beating the Panthers in Carolina Bank 1666 01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:34,759 Speaker 1: of America Stadium. Take the Bears in a mild upset. 1667 01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:37,280 Speaker 1: Carolina's favored by one since basically picked him. Something about 1668 01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:41,639 Speaker 1: the Bears upset on the road. Another new game, Lions 1669 01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:45,040 Speaker 1: go to the Jaguires. We saw the Jaguars last week. 1670 01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:48,599 Speaker 1: There's potential in that offense. The Jags have to play 1671 01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:55,680 Speaker 1: from ahead Detroit to Matt Patricia coach team, which I 1672 01:31:55,720 --> 01:32:01,040 Speaker 1: think says something. Maybe I don't know, but it's not 1673 01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:05,799 Speaker 1: gonna matter in this one because the Jags with the upset. 1674 01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:08,639 Speaker 1: Detroit's favored by three coming in. I think Matt Stafford 1675 01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:11,679 Speaker 1: is gonna make a mistake. Jags are gonna pounce. Jags 1676 01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:14,200 Speaker 1: will get a lead, and that's the key for the Jags. 1677 01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:15,559 Speaker 1: They have to get a lead. They're gonna rely on 1678 01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:18,280 Speaker 1: James Robinson. With that lead, Let's take the Jags in 1679 01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:22,559 Speaker 1: an upset in Duvall County at home beating the Lions. 1680 01:32:22,640 --> 01:32:25,880 Speaker 1: So obviously Detroit favored by three. So we're taking the 1681 01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:29,719 Speaker 1: points and the Jags to win straight out. All right's 1682 01:32:29,720 --> 01:32:31,720 Speaker 1: go to your afternoon games. On Sunday. The Jets go 1683 01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:34,679 Speaker 1: to the Dolphins, and Dolphins are playing some really good football. 1684 01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:37,880 Speaker 1: They favorite by three and a half over the Jets. 1685 01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:40,519 Speaker 1: I think that should be Oh no, I'm sorry, nine 1686 01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:44,000 Speaker 1: and a half. Wow, give me some glasses, folks. Nine 1687 01:32:44,080 --> 01:32:46,360 Speaker 1: and a half points, that's more like it. Oh that's 1688 01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:49,679 Speaker 1: when I when I saw three and a half, I thought, oh, man, 1689 01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:52,519 Speaker 1: go to Vegas and put everything on the Dolphins at 1690 01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:55,880 Speaker 1: nine and a half. I'm like, all right, just go 1691 01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:00,799 Speaker 1: to your local friend and bet that nine and a half. 1692 01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:03,920 Speaker 1: I just think the Jets are awful. The Jets really 1693 01:33:04,120 --> 01:33:07,320 Speaker 1: don't have much going for them right now. McKay Beckton 1694 01:33:07,360 --> 01:33:09,720 Speaker 1: has been very good for them as dolphensive lineman. Well, 1695 01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:11,559 Speaker 1: that's the best thing you can say about a team. 1696 01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:17,800 Speaker 1: It's not good. Take the Dolphins. Lay the points, lay 1697 01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:20,360 Speaker 1: nine and a half. The Dolphins at this time last 1698 01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:21,920 Speaker 1: year were owing five, and now they're two and three. 1699 01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:23,519 Speaker 1: They win this, they'll be three and three. How about 1700 01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:25,680 Speaker 1: that Brian Flores did a great chop down there and 1701 01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:28,559 Speaker 1: saw Florida with the Dolphins. Dolphins to winning cover. Packers 1702 01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:31,519 Speaker 1: go to the Bucks. Oh baby in the afternoon, is 1703 01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:34,280 Speaker 1: we're flying back on him? Miss this one? As the 1704 01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:38,959 Speaker 1: Buccaneers take on the Packers, Tom Brady the Aaron Rodgers 1705 01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:44,280 Speaker 1: at Raymond James Stadium, It's about to pick them, which 1706 01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:45,600 Speaker 1: I don't think Green Bay is getting a lot of 1707 01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:47,720 Speaker 1: credit for being four. Oh. The Packers are coming off 1708 01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:52,320 Speaker 1: of bye the Bucks are coming off a loss to 1709 01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:56,120 Speaker 1: the Bears last Thursday night, So the Bucks have had 1710 01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:58,759 Speaker 1: plenty of time to get ready as well the Packers. 1711 01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:02,479 Speaker 1: Even more, did the bye week come at the wrong 1712 01:34:02,520 --> 01:34:05,360 Speaker 1: time for the Packers? No, I don't think so. I 1713 01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:08,759 Speaker 1: think the pack goes down there and shows it's legit. 1714 01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:12,400 Speaker 1: It gets ready for a matchup the following week with 1715 01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:16,240 Speaker 1: your Houston Texans. Green Bay favored by one's basically pick them. 1716 01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:19,320 Speaker 1: Pick the Packers to cover that one and win on 1717 01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:21,200 Speaker 1: the road. Moved the Bucks to three and three? Is 1718 01:34:21,200 --> 01:34:25,439 Speaker 1: the packerstan defeated for their matchup with the Texans Sunday night? 1719 01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:31,040 Speaker 1: The Aaron Donald led Rams at four and one go 1720 01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:35,439 Speaker 1: to San Francisco. Heyka San Clara, heykay San Francisco to 1721 01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:37,960 Speaker 1: take on the forty nine ers at two and three. 1722 01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:41,360 Speaker 1: No idea who's playing quarterback for the forty nine ers? None. 1723 01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:44,240 Speaker 1: I don't think it matters. I think the Rams move 1724 01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:46,280 Speaker 1: the ball down the field. They do it the way 1725 01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:49,599 Speaker 1: the Rams do it, short passing game, hit some deep shot, 1726 01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:52,640 Speaker 1: mix in some intermediate shots and deep shots, and they 1727 01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:55,360 Speaker 1: let the defense do it's work. I think the Rams 1728 01:34:55,520 --> 01:34:59,400 Speaker 1: on Sunday night go to to Clara and beat the 1729 01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:02,480 Speaker 1: San France Cisco forty nine ers by more than three. 1730 01:35:02,720 --> 01:35:06,840 Speaker 1: Road dog wins outright and covers the three Monday night 1731 01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:16,559 Speaker 1: at Buffalo, the Bills twenty six points, twenty six points. 1732 01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:19,240 Speaker 1: They got beat by twenty six points. The Titans beat 1733 01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:23,160 Speaker 1: them in Nashville. That will not happen to the Bills 1734 01:35:23,200 --> 01:35:27,040 Speaker 1: this time, however, with the Bills as banged up as 1735 01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:31,240 Speaker 1: they are, the Chiefs are going there at the wrong 1736 01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:35,479 Speaker 1: time for the Bills. I think the Chiefs house the Bills. 1737 01:35:35,800 --> 01:35:38,800 Speaker 1: The Chiefs lost last week by eight at home. I 1738 01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:41,360 Speaker 1: think they get back on the horse. I don't think 1739 01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:43,719 Speaker 1: we'll see Levion Bell on this one for the Chiefs. 1740 01:35:44,080 --> 01:35:46,920 Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs win this thing by seven to ten. 1741 01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:49,720 Speaker 1: Chiefs get a win. The Bills on a little bit 1742 01:35:49,720 --> 01:35:52,240 Speaker 1: of a skid. They fought a four and two. The 1743 01:35:52,360 --> 01:35:55,160 Speaker 1: Chiefs will and they also cover the four and a half. 1744 01:35:55,640 --> 01:36:00,439 Speaker 1: And then Monday night, DeAndre Hopkins, Kyler Murray, Arizona Ardinals 1745 01:36:00,479 --> 01:36:03,639 Speaker 1: go to Arlington to take on the Dallas Cowboys at 1746 01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:08,320 Speaker 1: two and three, and Andy Dalton no Dak. Prescott talked 1747 01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:10,559 Speaker 1: about what happened to Dak in that game last week 1748 01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:13,840 Speaker 1: against the Giants. Hate it, hate it for that man 1749 01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:17,680 Speaker 1: doesn't deserve it. Arizona's favored by once. Let's basically pick 1750 01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:20,640 Speaker 1: them at home. I'm going Cowboys, and the Cowboys are 1751 01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:22,759 Speaker 1: gonna get the win. Those little three and three Cardinals 1752 01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:25,120 Speaker 1: go three and three. I think hop goes crazy, but 1753 01:36:25,240 --> 01:36:27,160 Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to stop the Cowboys. 1754 01:36:27,320 --> 01:36:29,080 Speaker 1: I think Zeke has a big night. It's again. Andy 1755 01:36:29,160 --> 01:36:32,160 Speaker 1: Dalton has a big night, spreading around all the receiving 1756 01:36:32,320 --> 01:36:36,720 Speaker 1: weapons on the Cowboys roster, and Cowboys win a shootout. 1757 01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:42,160 Speaker 1: Let's go forty one thirty eight Cowboys in Arlington. All right, 1758 01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:45,040 Speaker 1: those are your picks on all your NFL games coming up. 1759 01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:48,200 Speaker 1: It's our final word with you Doherty and this week 1760 01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:52,360 Speaker 1: it's number ninety nine, Our number ninety nine, JJ Watton. 1761 01:36:52,360 --> 01:36:57,080 Speaker 1: Next right here in Texans All Access Jecksons.

So you, I am your host, John Harris, 1852 01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:42,559 Speaker 1: silent reporter and football analysts for your Houston Texans, and 1853 01:42:42,680 --> 01:42:47,240 Speaker 1: my good friend Landry Locker has got your Astros pregame 1854 01:42:47,360 --> 01:42:51,040 Speaker 1: show after US tonight. Now, he I believe will go 1855 01:42:51,160 --> 01:42:53,599 Speaker 1: live at the end of the game. But I believe 1856 01:42:53,640 --> 01:42:56,479 Speaker 1: the game started at five h seven, Is that right? 1857 01:42:56,640 --> 01:42:59,280 Speaker 1: I think five oh seven is when that thing started, 1858 01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:04,800 Speaker 1: I believe. So when that thing goes final, I think 1859 01:43:04,920 --> 01:43:06,960 Speaker 1: Landry will take over. He might be taking over right 1860 01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:09,400 Speaker 1: at eight o'clock either way, as soon as just leave 1861 01:43:09,439 --> 01:43:11,960 Speaker 1: it right there in six ten, because you do not 1862 01:43:12,080 --> 01:43:14,559 Speaker 1: want to miss Landry lock Or breaking down whatever happens. 1863 01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:17,519 Speaker 1: Because here's the thing with the Astros. You're gonna have 1864 01:43:17,640 --> 01:43:22,760 Speaker 1: either all tied up Game seven on the Horizon or 1865 01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:26,360 Speaker 1: the Ray or the Rays. I don't even know. I 1866 01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:28,680 Speaker 1: could say this out loud, or the Rays will have 1867 01:43:28,720 --> 01:43:33,080 Speaker 1: won and you can recap the entire twenty twenty season. 1868 01:43:33,120 --> 01:43:34,760 Speaker 1: I know Landry will do a great job of that. 1869 01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:37,800 Speaker 1: Just listening to he and John Lopez talk about this 1870 01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:40,600 Speaker 1: Astros team this year. It's been for me because I 1871 01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:42,120 Speaker 1: haven't been able to file the Astros all year long, 1872 01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:45,639 Speaker 1: especially once we get into the football season. They really 1873 01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:48,240 Speaker 1: are kind of my portal into what's going on with 1874 01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:53,559 Speaker 1: the Astros. So listen to the postgame show, I hope, 1875 01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:56,360 Speaker 1: I mean I can't listen. You guys know, not from Houston. 1876 01:43:57,080 --> 01:44:01,400 Speaker 1: So I believe Houston So Rockets, Astros Tech since Coogs. 1877 01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:05,439 Speaker 1: I mean, I want all Houston teams to do exceptionally well. 1878 01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:09,880 Speaker 1: And it's been a wild why. I mean, if you did, 1879 01:44:09,960 --> 01:44:14,320 Speaker 1: oh wow, if you just think about what we honestly 1880 01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:19,880 Speaker 1: have been through since think about March twelfth. That was 1881 01:44:19,920 --> 01:44:23,840 Speaker 1: the day we first learned that, oh, this COVID thing 1882 01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:27,280 Speaker 1: might be a bad thing. It was about four or 1883 01:44:27,280 --> 01:44:31,479 Speaker 1: five days later, and this was while the Astros were 1884 01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:34,760 Speaker 1: in spring training. The Rockets were on the verge of 1885 01:44:34,760 --> 01:44:40,240 Speaker 1: get into the playoffs again. After that, DeAndre Hopkins traded. 1886 01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:43,559 Speaker 1: COVID shuts down the Astros all the way to the summer. 1887 01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:46,679 Speaker 1: It shuts down the Rockets through where they're gonna play 1888 01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:49,400 Speaker 1: in the bubble. Then we get to a point where 1889 01:44:49,400 --> 01:44:54,320 Speaker 1: they actually start a basketball season in the bubble. The 1890 01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:58,479 Speaker 1: Astros start a baseball season that has been interrupted at 1891 01:44:58,560 --> 01:45:01,800 Speaker 1: various points because of all the different COVID things going on. 1892 01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:08,519 Speaker 1: The Astros just keep plugging on without Garrett Cole, without 1893 01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:11,920 Speaker 1: Justin Verlander, with a bunch of rookies. They have a 1894 01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:14,400 Speaker 1: losing record in the regular season, but they get in 1895 01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:20,160 Speaker 1: the playoffs. While in the playoffs they knock off the 1896 01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:22,960 Speaker 1: Who's the first round they knocked off. They knocked off 1897 01:45:22,960 --> 01:45:26,120 Speaker 1: the Raise in the second round. Or the Twins. Oh, 1898 01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:30,200 Speaker 1: they've swept the Twins, knocked off the A's, got behind 1899 01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:34,200 Speaker 1: three nothing, gets to Raise, got to three to two. Meanwhile, 1900 01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:38,880 Speaker 1: Daryl Morey leaves a GM job. Before that, Mike D'Antoni 1901 01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:41,080 Speaker 1: walked away from the head coaching job of the Rockets. 1902 01:45:41,560 --> 01:45:45,000 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien was fired for the Texans. All of that 1903 01:45:45,120 --> 01:45:48,439 Speaker 1: has happened since March twelfth. Everything that I just laid out, 1904 01:45:48,479 --> 01:45:50,679 Speaker 1: and I know that I missed some things. The Houston 1905 01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:54,719 Speaker 1: Cougars were delayed five different times to start the season 1906 01:45:54,800 --> 01:46:00,479 Speaker 1: because of COVID. It's been the craziest seven months record. 1907 01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:03,720 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I had to literally I had to 1908 01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:06,760 Speaker 1: kind of talk that through. My basic message there was 1909 01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:10,280 Speaker 1: listen to my man Landry after our show talking about 1910 01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:13,439 Speaker 1: the Astros tonight postgame show, and I hope the guy 1911 01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:16,280 Speaker 1: he's talking about wind number three for the Astros, but 1912 01:46:16,280 --> 01:46:17,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do it against Blake Snail, so 1913 01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:20,040 Speaker 1: fingers crossed they can't get that thing done tonight. All right, 1914 01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:26,000 Speaker 1: that's coming up in our final segment. We always get 1915 01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:28,880 Speaker 1: the final word of Drew Doughty, and this week it 1916 01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:31,880 Speaker 1: is number ninety nine. It's always a special occasion when 1917 01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:36,240 Speaker 1: we get j. J Watt, the real JJ Watt on 1918 01:46:36,320 --> 01:46:38,519 Speaker 1: air with us. We had him on last night as 1919 01:46:38,600 --> 01:46:42,040 Speaker 1: Drew did his dirty dozen twelve questions for JJ, and 1920 01:46:42,040 --> 01:46:46,559 Speaker 1: he was fantastic hashtag Scot's taughts and JJ is always 1921 01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:49,679 Speaker 1: good talking about the opponent they're gonna face, and that's 1922 01:46:50,280 --> 01:46:52,439 Speaker 1: what they talked about. Here here's Drew Dorty with the 1923 01:46:52,439 --> 01:46:55,240 Speaker 1: final word tonight with jjat JJ always good to talk 1924 01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:58,040 Speaker 1: with you, good to see you. And let's talk about 1925 01:46:58,160 --> 01:47:00,559 Speaker 1: the mood in the locker room, the mood around the building. 1926 01:47:00,600 --> 01:47:03,920 Speaker 1: Things are different, obviously. Now, what has it been like though, 1927 01:47:04,160 --> 01:47:05,800 Speaker 1: after you get that first week out of the way, 1928 01:47:05,800 --> 01:47:08,000 Speaker 1: that first win out of the way, how are things 1929 01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:11,240 Speaker 1: going in that regard they're good. They're good. I mean, 1930 01:47:11,280 --> 01:47:12,920 Speaker 1: I think the guys obviously we had a lot of 1931 01:47:12,920 --> 01:47:16,120 Speaker 1: fun getting the first win of the years. Been too long, 1932 01:47:16,200 --> 01:47:18,479 Speaker 1: so to have those smiles and to be able to 1933 01:47:18,520 --> 01:47:21,800 Speaker 1: have that fun felt good. But we're back to business fundamentals. 1934 01:47:21,800 --> 01:47:24,400 Speaker 1: It's technique. It's focusing on the basic things to make 1935 01:47:24,439 --> 01:47:26,960 Speaker 1: sure that we're where we need to be for Sunday. 1936 01:47:27,200 --> 01:47:29,080 Speaker 1: Focuses on one win at a time, and I think 1937 01:47:29,120 --> 01:47:30,800 Speaker 1: that's what Rack has brought in. He's brought in a 1938 01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:33,519 Speaker 1: fun energy, but he's also brought in a focus on 1939 01:47:33,560 --> 01:47:36,160 Speaker 1: the basic fundamental details and getting just one win at 1940 01:47:36,200 --> 01:47:38,320 Speaker 1: a time, not trying to think about this big picture, 1941 01:47:38,680 --> 01:47:40,760 Speaker 1: just trying to get one at a time. Yeah, one 1942 01:47:40,760 --> 01:47:43,200 Speaker 1: win at his time is important and the win you're 1943 01:47:43,240 --> 01:47:45,840 Speaker 1: trying to get. This week's in Nashville Titans played on 1944 01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:49,639 Speaker 1: Tuesday night, and just on the whole force for the Trees. 1945 01:47:49,680 --> 01:47:51,920 Speaker 1: Before we get into the specifics of this game, what 1946 01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:56,040 Speaker 1: have you seen from that franchise shifting since basically Mike 1947 01:47:56,120 --> 01:47:59,760 Speaker 1: Vrabel took over. How much are they different in your eyes? Yeah? 1948 01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:02,040 Speaker 1: Definitely different. I mean, obviously, I've been here for ten years, 1949 01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:03,760 Speaker 1: so I've seen a lot of different phases of it, 1950 01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:06,320 Speaker 1: but I think right now they're in a situation where 1951 01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:08,400 Speaker 1: they're very they know who they are. They got a 1952 01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:11,240 Speaker 1: quarterback who's playing extremely well. They have a running game 1953 01:48:11,280 --> 01:48:14,080 Speaker 1: behind Derrick Henry who's obviously running the ball extremely hard 1954 01:48:14,120 --> 01:48:16,760 Speaker 1: and very well. Rabel's kind of brought that attitude, you 1955 01:48:16,800 --> 01:48:19,240 Speaker 1: know that he has to that whole team, that organization. 1956 01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:21,439 Speaker 1: I think everybody's bought him very well there. So it's 1957 01:48:21,479 --> 01:48:23,320 Speaker 1: a great challenge for us. We're looking forward to it. 1958 01:48:23,320 --> 01:48:25,240 Speaker 1: It's the vision game, which is huge for us, and 1959 01:48:25,640 --> 01:48:27,719 Speaker 1: we're just we're looking forward to the game. How impressed 1960 01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:29,800 Speaker 1: have you been by Ryan Tannehill because you saw him 1961 01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:31,840 Speaker 1: here when he was a rookie in his first game 1962 01:48:32,120 --> 01:48:35,000 Speaker 1: with Miami, but he's obviously much different now. Is it 1963 01:48:35,040 --> 01:48:37,639 Speaker 1: one of those things where it's just the right guy 1964 01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:40,880 Speaker 1: in the right system and it's fitting perfectly for him. Yeah. 1965 01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:42,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's obviously playing good football. I 1966 01:48:42,800 --> 01:48:45,280 Speaker 1: think he also understands in their system what his role is, 1967 01:48:45,320 --> 01:48:48,680 Speaker 1: and their coordinators and their whole team kind of understands 1968 01:48:48,760 --> 01:48:50,600 Speaker 1: how they work very well. I mean, they obviously if 1969 01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:52,320 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, they can hand the ball off too. They 1970 01:48:52,320 --> 01:48:55,640 Speaker 1: can run play actions, bootlegs, they can drop back with Tannehills. 1971 01:48:55,760 --> 01:48:57,680 Speaker 1: He can run as well. So I think they do. 1972 01:48:57,720 --> 01:48:59,840 Speaker 1: They have a good understanding of everything and they're doing 1973 01:49:00,120 --> 01:49:02,400 Speaker 1: very well. Yeah, you just touched on Derrick Henry, and 1974 01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:05,160 Speaker 1: earlier we heard from Romeo Cornell. He said, you know, 1975 01:49:05,240 --> 01:49:07,760 Speaker 1: it's tough for defensive backs to tackle him, and it's 1976 01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:10,360 Speaker 1: tough even for some defensive linemen to bring him down. 1977 01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:12,960 Speaker 1: What's it like when you see a back like that 1978 01:49:13,000 --> 01:49:15,439 Speaker 1: who can do the things he can do. Yeah, you 1979 01:49:15,479 --> 01:49:17,640 Speaker 1: just gotta do your job. I mean, obviously, he's a 1980 01:49:17,680 --> 01:49:19,400 Speaker 1: big guy. He's powerful. At the end of the day, 1981 01:49:19,439 --> 01:49:21,479 Speaker 1: if we are in our gaps, if we do our job, 1982 01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:23,240 Speaker 1: if everybody's where they need to be, and you wrap 1983 01:49:23,360 --> 01:49:25,040 Speaker 1: up and tackle, you're gonna get him down. But he's 1984 01:49:25,040 --> 01:49:26,799 Speaker 1: also going to get his yards. I mean, that's he's 1985 01:49:26,840 --> 01:49:29,040 Speaker 1: a great running back. And they always say, you know, 1986 01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:31,000 Speaker 1: those guys get paid too, So it's a matter of 1987 01:49:31,080 --> 01:49:33,679 Speaker 1: going out there doing your job, making sure that everybody 1988 01:49:34,120 --> 01:49:36,639 Speaker 1: is sounding their assignments, knocking for them in those big, 1989 01:49:36,720 --> 01:49:39,680 Speaker 1: big lanes running How nasty is that offensive line you 1990 01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:43,200 Speaker 1: gotta face on Sunday? A good offensive line. Obviously, if 1991 01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:45,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a guy lead the league in Russian, 1992 01:49:45,320 --> 01:49:47,040 Speaker 1: you have to have a good offensive line to run behind. 1993 01:49:47,080 --> 01:49:49,280 Speaker 1: So we're looking forward to the challenge. If you were 1994 01:49:49,280 --> 01:49:53,200 Speaker 1: to write a book solely based on Ben Jones stories, 1995 01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:57,559 Speaker 1: how long would that book be? It'd be a long 1996 01:49:57,640 --> 01:50:01,880 Speaker 1: book or a short book, depends on the night. How 1997 01:50:01,960 --> 01:50:03,400 Speaker 1: much fun is it when you get to see him 1998 01:50:03,400 --> 01:50:06,040 Speaker 1: before the game, after the game as well, as it's 1999 01:50:06,040 --> 01:50:08,799 Speaker 1: gonna be odd for you. I imagine seeing Jonathan Joseph, 2000 01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:11,400 Speaker 1: a guy who came to the Texans same year as 2001 01:50:11,479 --> 01:50:13,760 Speaker 1: you did, and maybe Jadeveon Clowney as well, he played 2002 01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:15,880 Speaker 1: with him for a while. Those are three pretty prominent 2003 01:50:15,880 --> 01:50:17,800 Speaker 1: Texans former Texas. Yeah, they got a lot of guys 2004 01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:20,160 Speaker 1: over there obviously that we're here before with the Rabol 2005 01:50:20,160 --> 01:50:22,639 Speaker 1: connection and all the other connections. So it's always good 2006 01:50:22,640 --> 01:50:25,040 Speaker 1: to see guys you played with, old teammates, old friends, 2007 01:50:25,160 --> 01:50:27,120 Speaker 1: catch up a little bit. We look forward to the 2008 01:50:27,160 --> 01:50:28,920 Speaker 1: game as well, and we look forward to the challenge. 2009 01:50:28,920 --> 01:50:31,479 Speaker 1: And but yeah, there will definitely be stories swapped, and 2010 01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:35,040 Speaker 1: but not from too close, that's for sure. Yeah, that's right. 2011 01:50:35,080 --> 01:50:38,040 Speaker 1: Good social distancing and you'll have that mask on all right, JJ. 2012 01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:40,320 Speaker 1: Always good to catch up with you, and best of 2013 01:50:40,439 --> 01:50:44,000 Speaker 1: luck Sunday against the Titans. Thanks to appreciate it. I 2014 01:50:44,080 --> 01:50:47,640 Speaker 1: gave you my Keith to the game earlier, and I 2015 01:50:47,680 --> 01:50:51,679 Speaker 1: did not mention our number ninety nine, and I don't 2016 01:50:51,680 --> 01:50:53,360 Speaker 1: want it to ever be that. I take a guy 2017 01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:57,280 Speaker 1: for granted. But JJ Watt, even though he hasn't had 2018 01:50:57,360 --> 01:51:00,280 Speaker 1: these monster sacked numbers all at, JJ has been playing very, 2019 01:51:00,360 --> 01:51:03,120 Speaker 1: very well. I thought he played an exceptional game against 2020 01:51:03,160 --> 01:51:07,240 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars. I thought there were times he took 2021 01:51:07,280 --> 01:51:09,759 Speaker 1: up two and three blockers he freed up other guys 2022 01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:13,480 Speaker 1: to come clear, He's had some great games in Tennessee, 2023 01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:18,360 Speaker 1: tremendous games in Tennessee, and he was hoping for another one. 2024 01:51:19,520 --> 01:51:22,120 Speaker 1: He's always a key to the game. He wasn't a 2025 01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:25,280 Speaker 1: specific key that I mentioned earlier, but ninety nine is 2026 01:51:25,320 --> 01:51:29,120 Speaker 1: the guy that can change things on the defense. Going 2027 01:51:29,160 --> 01:51:32,280 Speaker 1: against Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry, it will not be 2028 01:51:32,360 --> 01:51:35,320 Speaker 1: easy in any way, shape or form taking on this 2029 01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:39,000 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans team. But when you have ninety nine in 2030 01:51:39,040 --> 01:51:41,559 Speaker 1: the lineup as opposed to not think about it. Last 2031 01:51:41,600 --> 01:51:44,160 Speaker 1: year League fifteen did not have JJ Watton that game 2032 01:51:44,200 --> 01:51:48,040 Speaker 1: against Tennessee when the Texans got to win. He has 2033 01:51:48,080 --> 01:51:50,439 Speaker 1: missed some of the games against Tennessee over the last 2034 01:51:50,439 --> 01:51:53,800 Speaker 1: few years. Twenty seventeen he missed the actually I think 2035 01:51:53,800 --> 01:51:55,519 Speaker 1: he missed, No, he missed the second game which was 2036 01:51:55,560 --> 01:51:59,280 Speaker 1: at Tennessee. Twenty nineteen, he missed at Tennessee, twenty sixteen 2037 01:51:59,360 --> 01:52:02,080 Speaker 1: at Tennessee. So he's only played at Tennessee the one 2038 01:52:02,160 --> 01:52:05,400 Speaker 1: year at twenty eighteen. But in twenty eighteen, you really 2039 01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:07,439 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to rush quarterback because they kept throwing 2040 01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:09,920 Speaker 1: us Blaine Gabbert. It's wildcat. They're trying to do all 2041 01:52:09,920 --> 01:52:12,120 Speaker 1: they could through the ball that day, and so as 2042 01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:14,639 Speaker 1: short passing games, short quick passing game, and they basically 2043 01:52:14,680 --> 01:52:16,800 Speaker 1: took the game out of JJ's hands. This one I 2044 01:52:16,840 --> 01:52:19,840 Speaker 1: think will be right in his wheelhouse. It's a great 2045 01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:22,879 Speaker 1: opportunity for JJ walking against Taylor Luan banged up shoulder 2046 01:52:23,080 --> 01:52:26,960 Speaker 1: and uncle Dennis Dennis Kelly brother at Tim Kelly. Sunday 2047 01:52:27,360 --> 01:52:29,360 Speaker 1: is going to be a blood bath. It always is, 2048 01:52:30,080 --> 01:52:32,360 Speaker 1: and hopefully when it's all said and done, it's the 2049 01:52:32,479 --> 01:52:35,479 Speaker 1: Texans that survive. But looking forward to this one, there's 2050 01:52:35,520 --> 01:52:38,360 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. In Nashville on Sunday. We'll see 2051 01:52:38,360 --> 01:52:44,679 Speaker 1: that everybody, and as always, go Texans.
