Speaker 1: Hello, Texans, welcome to the program.
Speaker 2: Can't wait for Sunday, and much going on as he's out.
Speaker 2: Shire Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee for the
Speaker 2: Houston Texans. That means he wins the club awards, So
Speaker 2: each club has a representative and they all go into
Speaker 2: a big contest if you will to win Walter Payton
Speaker 2: Man of the Year and JJ Watt won it once
Speaker 2: upon a time. But there have been so many great
Speaker 2: nominees from the Houston Texans last year, Jail and Petrea,
Speaker 2: now Aziz al Shire and I love this because he
Speaker 2: was disrespected last year and now he's getting some adoration.
Speaker 2: He's going to be on NFL network if he hasn't
Speaker 2: been already. I'm sure we're going to get him on
Speaker 2: here soon enough. So that's cool. For disease, plenty of
Speaker 2: injury news to discuss. Some good like Will Anderson Junior
Speaker 2: and a lot of other guys back at practice today
Speaker 2: after being DNPS yesterday limited but back now. Kamari Lassiter
Speaker 2: did not practice today with a foot injury. Will monitor
Speaker 2: that very carefully heading into tomorrow's final status report. Prior
Speaker 2: to Sunday, the sad news, bad news, Tim Settle Junior
Speaker 2: on ir now with a foot and that's just too bad.
Speaker 2: I mean, Tim Settle Junior a big part of that
Speaker 2: defensive tackle rotation. So it's going to affect the strategy
Speaker 2: a bit, maybe more than a bit. Tim Settle big
Speaker 2: part of that attack up the middle, big run stuff
Speaker 2: or able to rush the passer as well. So we'll
Speaker 2: find out how the Texans handle that soon enough. But
Speaker 2: a lot to cover as we get ever so closer
Speaker 2: to kick off Sunday night in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: That's right, Sunday night.
Speaker 2: I don't even know what I'm gonna do with myself
Speaker 2: on Sunday all day because I'm ready to kick this
Speaker 2: thing off at noon.
Speaker 1: Please.
Speaker 2: I could do it tonight, but they can't. So let's
Speaker 2: do it Sunday night. I guess that's the time, Johnny,
Speaker 2: that we have to play this thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm so.
Speaker 3: I'm so happy about Week fourteen for a number of reasons.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: One of the reasons that bothers me about weeks five
Speaker 3: through fourteen, what is that different teams are on buy
Speaker 3: So the records they haven't played all the same games.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, So they're like, well, they've only
Speaker 3: played eleven games, they've played twelve. So Week fourteen is
Speaker 3: the last buy for teams. Oh good, yeah, so that's it.
Speaker 3: So everybody, after this week we'll have thirteen games played.
Speaker 1: This is when we had the bye last year, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: Week fourteen we had to wait.
Speaker 2: All the way were easy and then you had an
Speaker 2: early buy this year because that feels like a thousand
Speaker 2: years ago where we have that weekend off it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and here you are and the season has such ebb
Speaker 2: and flow to it. My gosh, you know, we talk
Speaker 2: about it in training camp. It's a long season. It's
Speaker 2: so true this year because the different narratives that have
Speaker 2: taken hold, right, zero to three and then oh you
Speaker 2: want a couple and you can get back to five hundred,
Speaker 2: No you can't, and then maybe you can just know
Speaker 2: you can't.
Speaker 1: Three and five, and now we have four games in
Speaker 1: a row.
Speaker 3: If this thing turns, this season keeps turning the way
Speaker 3: that we'd like it. You know, win against the Chiefs,
Speaker 3: you know, doing some good things down a stretch, getting
Speaker 3: into playoffs, et cetera. Peep behind a curtain down on
Speaker 3: our service level, down my locker room. The Texan have
Speaker 3: put up they put up players of the week, they
Speaker 3: put up a banner. If they win, they win, put
Speaker 3: them a banner. And theny have offense, even special teams,
Speaker 3: and they put up a picture of the guy that
Speaker 3: is player of the week. Sometimes there's players of the week,
Speaker 3: et cetera. And so I was going by and I
Speaker 3: was looking at it, and the very first one is
Speaker 3: week four. If you go back to Week four, it
Speaker 3: were up on Tennessee just six to nothing going into
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: That's what it was.
Speaker 3: Huh, six to nothing going into the fourth quarter. So
Speaker 3: I look at that, and then a couple of them
Speaker 3: down the road. There are just two. There are two
Speaker 3: spots where you look to me that kind of stand
Speaker 3: out more than anything. That's one, it's we're oh and three.
Speaker 3: We're tied for the worst record in the league. We're
Speaker 3: only up six to nothing on the other oh to
Speaker 3: three team, not only in our division, but in the NFL.
Speaker 3: Fast forward five games, we're three and five and we're
Speaker 3: down twenty nine to ten against the Jacksonville Jaguars going
Speaker 3: into the fourth court.
Speaker 1: I can't even think about that. I got nervous hearing that.
Speaker 3: I know we're getting out and now you have Sunday night,
Speaker 3: where you win the ballgame, you have a ninety percent
Speaker 3: chance of making the playoffs. And even if you lose,
Speaker 3: and my obviously, you know, my hope is not to lose,
Speaker 3: but you're even a fifty three percent chance at that point.
Speaker 3: But you have an opportunity against this team that you're facing,
Speaker 3: against this quarterback, that tight end, that coach, to make
Speaker 3: a statement, and you're not gonna have to wake up
Speaker 3: on Monday and see the tweet of Andy Reid going,
Speaker 3: how about those chiefs in the locker room like, no,
Speaker 3: remember how we killed the outfield song? Josie was not
Speaker 3: on a vacation very far away. We killed that two
Speaker 3: years ago. I'd like to kill this one. I do
Speaker 3: not want to see the tweet of the video of
Speaker 3: Andy Reid walk in the locker room.
Speaker 1: How about those chiefs like, no, let's end it. So
Speaker 1: there's a on the line.
Speaker 3: But as I was walking by this morning, those are
Speaker 3: the two moments that stood out. And how when it's
Speaker 3: six nothing against the Titans, just think, man, what if
Speaker 3: you throw the ball of the flat, you trip, you fumble,
Speaker 3: and Jeffrey Simmons picks it up and runs it all
Speaker 3: the way back into seven to six, Like, how does
Speaker 3: the season change? You know what if Davis doesn't bring
Speaker 3: you back in that fourth quarter, it's the Jags. You
Speaker 3: know what if Matthew Wright pushes a field goal right
Speaker 3: against the Titans and you gotta go to overtime. I
Speaker 3: mean all these different things. Now you can go on
Speaker 3: the other side too. You know what if you tackle
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield, if you don't fumble or have three turnovers
Speaker 3: in the fourth Jags, you know all those things. So
Speaker 3: wherever we were supposed to be, I think we are
Speaker 3: if that makes if that makes any sense.
Speaker 2: But you just said it, these close games and you
Speaker 2: were on the edge of a cliff and they were
Speaker 2: able to not get pushed off. And Demiko Ryans after
Speaker 2: the winner of the Colts the next day, clearly wanting
Speaker 2: the team.
Speaker 1: To play at a higher level.
Speaker 2: Yes, there's another level that they can get to, maybe
Speaker 2: a couple and this is fine. They love winning, but
Speaker 2: they want to play better. They know they can play
Speaker 2: better than that. They know they can make the game
Speaker 2: with zero doubt in the final few minutes instead of
Speaker 2: we're really up against it here, it's another crunch time moment.
Speaker 1: You know, fourth down, we got.
Speaker 2: To make the stop or run out the clock, whatever
Speaker 2: the case is, because it's been all like that in
Speaker 2: these four wins, all doubt of the wire. Now for us,
Speaker 2: super exciting, heart stopping. You know, I'd like a boring
Speaker 2: one mixed in a boring win, like, Ah, you're up
Speaker 2: three scores, let's have some fun in the booth. Nope,
Speaker 2: it's high pressure. But look, I live for this stuff.
Speaker 2: We all do. It's great. And here we are going
Speaker 2: into the biggest game they've played in a long time.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to categorize it.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I could say that the Colts game at the end
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three, that's a bigger game. You're going
Speaker 2: for the division. Ye, But there's something about this playing
Speaker 2: the Chiefs in this context.
Speaker 1: Well what about last year? Mark?
Speaker 2: Yeah, last year was big two, No question, you were
Speaker 2: on the edge of things last year. There was a
Speaker 2: time last year where I thought the wheels could come
Speaker 2: off down the stretch, right when you lost to the
Speaker 2: Titans and you had to beat the Jags going into
Speaker 2: the by, and you did. But you come out of
Speaker 2: that by, you have to beat the Dolphins because my gosh,
Speaker 2: you have the Chiefs and the Ravens coming up. And
Speaker 2: this is a very much better version last year of
Speaker 2: the Chiefs and the Ravens. And as I say that,
Speaker 2: you know, everyone's talking about the Chiefs and they don't
Speaker 2: do this well, they don't do that well. Are you kidding?
Speaker 2: They are circling the wagons big time. Kansas City. This
Speaker 2: is it, this is the playoffs start today. That's what
Speaker 2: they'll tell themselves, because it's true. For all these teams
Speaker 2: that are fighting for spots. There's one big difference. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think one big difference from this year and last year.
Speaker 2: What happened is we were driving home after beating the
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 3: Do you remember driving home or driving home? There was
Speaker 3: an afternoon game in Denver we won the division and
Speaker 3: the Broncos beat the Colts and we won the division.
Speaker 1: Thank you. You just clarified it.
Speaker 3: That took a lot of pressure off what was going
Speaker 3: to happen the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: In some sense.
Speaker 2: I even said at the time, I thought that the
Speaker 2: fact that you had the division wrapped up even before
Speaker 2: that clinching moment, you felt like we've got the division
Speaker 2: even weeks before that, You're gonna win the AFC South
Speaker 2: for god conclusion. Look, they'll never say that. You shouldn't
Speaker 2: think that as a player or a coach or whatever
Speaker 2: or anybody involved with the organization. But it was in
Speaker 2: the wind, sure, And you're right. The pressure is not
Speaker 2: the same as you're gonna miss it if you don't
Speaker 2: play well down the stretch.
Speaker 1: Here, play really well, you're.
Speaker 2: Gonna miss and you were out of it, and now
Speaker 2: you're in it, so stay in it and keep going.
Speaker 2: So the pressure is really on in a different way.
Speaker 2: And I thought that's why one of the reasons anyway,
Speaker 2: Now I could be wrong about this, but I thought
Speaker 2: that was one of the reasons why they weren't achieving
Speaker 2: at higher levels because they had the division wrapped up.
Speaker 2: But you got to be one of the good teams
Speaker 2: where forget the division one seed, two seeds, let's go.
Speaker 3: We have a certain standard in the way we play.
Speaker 3: We're not going to step away from that standard, I think.
Speaker 3: And again, things can change and be different depending on
Speaker 3: whatever happens. But I felt like we went into that
Speaker 3: Kansas City game with not a whole lot to lose
Speaker 3: because we had won a division. Okay, but hey, we
Speaker 3: can beat the Chiefs, and you beat the Ravens and
Speaker 3: may we could be looking at a one seed, two seed,
Speaker 3: three seeds, you know whatever, you know better than the
Speaker 3: fourth seed. But that didn't happen. And then the worst
Speaker 3: thing happened. We lost Tank.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: And when we lost Tank, it felt like the momentum
Speaker 3: of the season just went. You could just see the
Speaker 3: mental anguish on everybody's face and it really showed itself
Speaker 3: visceral reaction.
Speaker 2: Yes to what at the moment, it was devastating because
Speaker 2: of how loved and beloved he is by the players, fans, everybody. Right,
Speaker 2: it just felt like all the air went out of it.
Speaker 2: You knew it wasn't over. We already had the division, right,
Speaker 2: we just said that. But there you were at Kansas City,
Speaker 2: missed the extra point after a Tank touchdown and unable
Speaker 2: to that was it right? You missed the missed extra
Speaker 2: point and then you're not able to get over the
Speaker 2: hump in that game. And now you play the Ravens
Speaker 2: four days later on Christmas and just just never rebounded
Speaker 2: from the Kansas City game. You lost twice. You lost
Speaker 2: to the Chiefs twice because you lost to the Ravens.
Speaker 2: You had nothing in that game other than the Lassiter's
Speaker 2: great hit on Derreck Henry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the other thing that ended up happening. You mentioned
Speaker 3: the Tennessee game. I think one of the biggest things
Speaker 3: this season happened in that game. And we may do
Speaker 3: but Jalen Petrie tours Peck in that Tennessee game.
Speaker 1: It's a big one too.
Speaker 3: And we played that Chiefs game. And in that Chiefs game,
Speaker 3: we lost Shack Mason two plays in. Even though Shack
Speaker 3: didn't play exceptionally well, they still you're starting right guard.
Speaker 3: Then we lost Tank, and then we also lost Jimmy Ward.
Speaker 3: So on top of losing Petrie, you've now lost Jimmy Ward,
Speaker 3: and then you lose Shack in Tank and in that
Speaker 3: Chiefs game as ease had been suspended. So if you
Speaker 3: think back to that first chief game, we it was
Speaker 3: stretched pretty thin. Yeah, and I think just having Jalen
Speaker 3: Petrie back, you could see it Sunday against the Colts.
Speaker 3: He's blitzing, he's making plays against the run, he's not
Speaker 3: going to pass away from Pittman. He knocked a big
Speaker 3: third down pass away from downs that was huge in
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. Having Jalen Petrie on the field, there's
Speaker 3: just some guys that you have to have on the field,
Speaker 3: and he played one hundred percent of the plays against
Speaker 3: the Colts. Having Jalen Petrie on the field is so key.
Speaker 2: Somebody asked me this morning at six am pickup hoops,
Speaker 2: how many Pro Bowlers on the defense, and I thought, well,
Speaker 2: Petree missed a little time here. He's caliber though, he's
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl caliber. Yeah, and look, I don't care if
Speaker 2: he's Pro Bowler or not what he means to this team.
Speaker 2: To back up your point, but I would say when
Speaker 2: you talk about caliber, obviously Stingley is all pro. But
Speaker 2: Lassi bullot ye. I mean, come on, three guys' secondary
Speaker 2: calliber danil will. I mean you've got one, two, three, four,
Speaker 2: five six, right, Nick, Well that's I was telling you
Speaker 2: talker to Yeah, okay, I mean on the offense, I
Speaker 2: think Nico's the one. And then after that, you know,
Speaker 2: there's so many great offensive players in this league, and
Speaker 2: this team offensively is just starting to rise right now.
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens down the stretch. But I thought, defensively,
Speaker 2: the love they're getting right now so interesting, and that
Speaker 2: plays into something I want to talk about here, Johnny,
Speaker 2: because usually at this time we have the general.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk like this the rest of the show,
Speaker 1: but we're to.
Speaker 2: Lose our voices imitating John McLean.
Speaker 1: But he had a tweet yesterday.
Speaker 2: He had a tweet about this being one of the
Speaker 2: three best defenses he's ever seen in Houston, and he
Speaker 2: includes he says, this is the best Texans defense he's
Speaker 2: ever seen. You can debate that, but okay, I know
Speaker 2: he still have five games to go here, Sure finish
Speaker 2: it off. Sure where we are right now, it's big.
Speaker 2: Where we are right now. Great, because we talked about
Speaker 2: this before. The twenty eleven defense didn't really become bulls
Speaker 2: on parade until the final six seven games of the year.
Speaker 2: They really solidified that. The seven sacks against Jacksonville, holding
Speaker 2: Atlanta out of ten. That was Matt Ryams slinging it
Speaker 2: and you'll hold them at ten points here, and what
Speaker 2: they did at Cincinnati making the big stops when they
Speaker 2: had to, and the rest of it. Obviously the playoff
Speaker 2: game against Cincinnati here, But what about this, he said,
Speaker 2: the ninety three oilers and the love you Blue oilers. Right,
Speaker 2: So those are the top three defenses he's covered in
Speaker 2: the City of Houston, And I gotta say, Johnny, statistically,
Speaker 2: right now, it's going to be hard to beat this one. Now,
Speaker 2: Love Your Blue, I mean, my gosh, hall of famers galore,
Speaker 2: and you got Bethay, and you got Curly Colp and
Speaker 2: you got Robert Brazil. Right, You've got incredible, fire breathing
Speaker 2: dragons on that Love You Blue defense. And in ninety
Speaker 2: three you got the Buddy Ryan and coached team did
Speaker 2: loaded right. But you know, statistically, when you look at
Speaker 2: where they finished in the league, and I know that's
Speaker 2: not everything. In ninety three, they didn't get to where
Speaker 2: they wanted to go. In fact, in ninety three they
Speaker 2: made that NFL documentary NFL Network Houston ninety three, which
Speaker 2: is I highly recommend that just from a historical perspective
Speaker 2: into Houston football and media too, and anything you like
Speaker 2: about Houston. It really paids a time capsule picture of
Speaker 2: the market as a sports town in that era, right
Speaker 2: before the Rockets win their rings and all of that
Speaker 2: early nineties and the Oilers how big they were, and
Speaker 2: then it fades instantly after that because ninety three they
Speaker 2: lose to Montana, then they're moving and the rest is history,
Speaker 2: paving the way for the Houston Texans. But in ninety
Speaker 2: two in yards third and in points ninth. In ninety
Speaker 2: three actually better in ninety three, Okay, third in yards,
Speaker 2: fourth in points. Boy, that's pretty strong right there, and
Speaker 2: they were able to get into the playoffs. They hosted
Speaker 2: Joe Montana and the Chiefs and lost.
Speaker 3: That defense Sean Jones, William Fuller, I mean they got
Speaker 3: after it.
Speaker 1: Chris Dishman is secondary.
Speaker 2: Joe used to fill in on the Jim Rome Show
Speaker 2: and come in to Sports Radio six' ten and do
Speaker 2: his spot. There he was that talented That rome would
Speaker 2: have him fill in as a.
Speaker 3: Host that, DEFENSE i, mean Obviously Buddy ryan running at.
Speaker 3: Defense they were, animals AND i felt like that defense
Speaker 3: Kept it's interesting BECAUSE i Think buddy was the wedge
Speaker 3: on that whole, team but that defense kept them in the.
Speaker 3: Season because early in the season of ninety, three AND
Speaker 3: i don't remember the exact, record but it started. Poorly
Speaker 3: it started very. Poorly in, fact it might have been
Speaker 3: about four or five games in AND i believe they
Speaker 3: went To New england.
Speaker 1: And Warren moon got. Benched Warren moon got, benched which was.
Speaker 3: Huge, NOW i was in college at the, time but
Speaker 3: OBVIOUSLY i, kept you, know my eyes on what was
Speaker 3: going back. Home he gets, benched Then Commander cody gets,
Speaker 3: hurt so they got to go back To. Warren and
Speaker 3: then the offense starts. Clicking but it was kind of
Speaker 3: off from the, beginning but then it was like week,
Speaker 3: four week, five it started to.
Speaker 1: Click and that's the thing.
Speaker 3: We just talked about The pro bowler potential that's on.
Speaker 3: Defense that offense had hall of famers, too hall of fame,
Speaker 3: quarterback Two hall of fame offensive, lineman a wide receiver
Speaker 3: corp that could challenge any that we've ever seen in
Speaker 3: this town or. Others the offense was. Loaded so when
Speaker 3: the offense started getting it, together knowing what they had With,
Speaker 3: BUDDY i think everybody, thought, oh.
Speaker 1: We're back on. Track, yeah this team is.
Speaker 3: TOUGH i think they ended up having Eleven Pro, bowlers maybe,
Speaker 3: more and they were wildly talented on both sides of the,
Speaker 3: ball AND i think that's what gave people a lot of, confidence, Like,
Speaker 3: okay this is the. Year and then on one afternoon
Speaker 3: in The, dome it goes sideways and they can't Stop
Speaker 3: Joe montana in the second, half and the offense kind
Speaker 3: of slow and that's the thing THAT i think makes
Speaker 3: it makes this thing great in a. Sense you could
Speaker 3: play really really well and get to the playoffs and
Speaker 3: then have a bad, Day you're. Gone like The lions last.
Speaker 3: Year now they were supremely banged up on the defensive,
Speaker 3: side but they went fifteen to. Two they beat The
Speaker 3: vikings soundly in week eighteen to win a. Division they
Speaker 3: get a bye week and then The commanders going there
Speaker 3: and hammer, them hammer, them put.
Speaker 1: Fifty five on, them and you're, like seed's.
Speaker 3: Over like you know The ravens in twenty, Nineteen, YEAH
Speaker 3: i Mean Derek henry went crazy against them in one.
Speaker 1: Game that team was going To Super bowl and they
Speaker 1: were gonna win it by Three.
Speaker 3: Touchdow there's nobody could play with The ravens in nineteen
Speaker 3: and they're out in the division.
Speaker 1: Round you turn it over a couple of, times you
Speaker 1: have a bad.
Speaker 2: Day that oiler, team by the, way one in four
Speaker 2: one four to start you, have they win eleven in
Speaker 2: a row and then lose To montana and The chiefs
Speaker 2: home by. Eight, now what about the cautionary tale of
Speaker 2: the twenty Eighteen Houston texans who started zero to, Three
Speaker 2: the last team to start owing three and you'll become
Speaker 2: the second in a row to make the.
Speaker 1: Playoffs if you.
Speaker 2: Do after starting going, three that team won nine in a,
Speaker 2: row franchise long winning. Streak i'd love this team to
Speaker 2: finish off the same, way nine in a. Row if
Speaker 2: you win, out you're nine in a. Row you tie
Speaker 2: the winning. Streak, now the cautionary tale is this that
Speaker 2: team kind of ran out of gas toward the end
Speaker 2: of the. Year you lost To, philadelphia super close. GAME i,
Speaker 2: mean anybody could have.
Speaker 1: Had that's one of the best football Games i've ever.
Speaker 1: Seen it's.
Speaker 2: Excruciating and that two year period between twenty seventeen and
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen saw some excruciatingly close Losses New, England, Seattle,
Speaker 2: philly those who are really tough to. Take where you
Speaker 2: leave the field the offense does with the lead can't
Speaker 2: hold it in all three of those GAMES i just
Speaker 2: mentioned down the. Stretch you lose to The colts at
Speaker 2: home in the regular, season and it kind of exposed you.
Speaker 3: Too that was the scary. Thing like they exposed. You
Speaker 3: they were able to Find Eric, ebron couldn't cover tight.
Speaker 3: Ends we're getting lost in coverage and luck and that
Speaker 3: offense just really exposed.
Speaker 1: Us.
Speaker 2: Yep and then you go into the postseason and you
Speaker 2: see him again And Jonathan joseph mentions T Y hilton
Speaker 2: in the clown comment And hilton shows up in the.
Speaker 2: CLOWN i was actually telling somebody in equipment about that
Speaker 2: because we were talking about The Loud house and The Stroud,
Speaker 2: house AND i, Said Nico Collins, STADIUM i, said, LISTEN
Speaker 2: i don't like those guys at, all because there are numerous.
Speaker 2: Stories AND i just told him that clown mass story
Speaker 2: WHERE i thought you're gonna win this game.
Speaker 1: TODAY i, mean he shows them at a clown. Mass
Speaker 1: you cannot have that happen if you're. Building you have
Speaker 1: to flatten.
Speaker 2: Them and then they got flattened The texans, did which
Speaker 2: was really tough to. Take but, look we're riding all
Speaker 2: those wrongs right, now, RIGHT i, mean we're getting revenge
Speaker 2: on The horseshoe big time with four consecutive. Wins now
Speaker 2: you have them again at the end of the regular,
Speaker 2: season so we'll see again, Here we'll see again.
Speaker 3: Here let's go, yep, absolutely and the irony is that
Speaker 3: they've beaten us here twenty, well twenty two was a.
Speaker 3: Tie twenty three they beat us here twenty, one Twenty,
Speaker 3: uh they've beaten us here a, bunch and they didn't
Speaker 3: beat us here last year In week. Eight that's Because
Speaker 3: Anthey richard tapped out on a third and. Whatever so,
Speaker 3: YEAH i want to say that it was That week
Speaker 3: eighteen game of twenty twenty three where they brought T
Speaker 3: Y hilton back to be like their game advantage captain
Speaker 3: or whatever it's, called and he wore the.
Speaker 1: Mask he brought the mask with. HIM i want to
Speaker 1: say it was that.
Speaker 3: GAME i want to say it was that game because
Speaker 3: they brought him back and he brought the mask with him,
Speaker 3: geez AND i just was, like oh, man that damn.
Speaker 3: MASK i remember sitting in my. OFFICE i love that
Speaker 3: he did, that, though because that's like the. Rivalry that's exactly,
Speaker 3: right is. What and then when they, won it became
Speaker 3: this this thing of. Lore he wore the mask into
Speaker 3: the building that he basically owned and own them and
Speaker 3: they get a playoff, win the only time that we've
Speaker 3: ever met a division team in the. Playoffs it was
Speaker 3: such a it was such a wild. Day that team
Speaker 3: got banged, Up hoop got hurt at some point in,
Speaker 3: it and we just ran out of gas and The,
Speaker 3: COLTS i remember they got up twenty one to nothing
Speaker 3: and we had every opportunity to get back in that,
Speaker 3: game and we.
Speaker 1: Just stepped all over ourselves and couldn't do.
Speaker 3: It but it's a different football team than twenty twenty
Speaker 3: five BECAUSE i feel like like last.
Speaker 1: Year we mentioned, earlier felt like when they won the.
Speaker 3: Division not gonna say it took the foot off the,
Speaker 3: gas but it felt like it did slow down a
Speaker 3: little bit and they weren't playing at the standard that
Speaker 3: they had set.
Speaker 2: Well it felt like the top seed was unattainable because
Speaker 2: The chiefs had that fat. Record so it wasn't like
Speaker 2: when you were going To arrowhead last year that a
Speaker 2: win would derail them from the top. Seed they already
Speaker 2: had like nine whatever they had at the. TIME i,
Speaker 2: mean they were on their way, now they were winning
Speaker 2: all these close. Games i'm not saying you weren't trying
Speaker 2: to win that, game but you knew in the back
Speaker 2: of your mind getting a higher seed is the only carrot, here,
Speaker 2: really and what is it really going to do for?
Speaker 2: You you don't know who you're gonna end up playing
Speaker 2: Any baltimore is starting to get, hot so it's gonna
Speaker 2: be really. Hard this is just us. TALKING i don't
Speaker 2: know how they look at, it but you, know just
Speaker 2: looking at it as a, fan media, member whatever the case,
Speaker 2: is it's a very different.
Speaker 1: Situation it's a different.
Speaker 2: Context now you go in and you have a chance,
Speaker 2: to as you would, say drive a stake into their.
Speaker 2: Heart you have a chance to put them out a
Speaker 2: game under five hundred with four to.
Speaker 1: Go, yep their percentage.
Speaker 2: Chances by the, way, side, note what do you think
Speaker 2: of all these percentage? Chances you, know this is something
Speaker 2: that ten years ago you never would have. Seen every,
Speaker 2: win every loss you, Get, oh the percentage chances of
Speaker 2: you making the. Playoffs BECAUSE ai computes, everything everybody's, schedule
Speaker 2: how everybody's. PLAYING i hope they take all this into,
Speaker 2: consideration what the matchups are going to be for every single,
Speaker 2: team and here's your percentage chance of making it based
Speaker 2: on these.
Speaker 3: PROJECTIONS i don't put a lot of, stock especially because
Speaker 3: two years, ago After matdamadul's fifty nine yarder hit the
Speaker 3: crossbar and we lost that game To, jags no, chance
Speaker 3: we had like a one percent.
Speaker 1: Chance, yeah so it came.
Speaker 2: Through our lucky ticket came through right, so but look
Speaker 2: at all the work it till.
Speaker 3: Exactly you had to have The jags with a masterful choke.
Speaker 3: Job then we had to go down a. Stretch we
Speaker 3: had to you, know win with Case keenum At. Tennessee
Speaker 3: we had to go Win indy where historically it hadn't been.
Speaker 3: Great we had to win that game just to get
Speaker 3: into playoffs and then get some help From tennessee to Beat.
Speaker 3: Jacksonville so, YOU i don't, know were all those, things
Speaker 3: if you put them into a, parlay gonna.
Speaker 1: Happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah if you said after The jaguars, game, hey look
Speaker 3: here's what's gonna, HAPPEN i think you would have.
Speaker 1: SAID i think both of us would have, said.
Speaker 3: Ah, yeah, right that's gonna.
Speaker 1: Happen but it.
Speaker 3: DID i think there it's fun talking, points to be
Speaker 3: honest with, you but we say this all the. Time
Speaker 3: ninety nine point nine percent sold is still one hundred
Speaker 3: percent not. Sold, Yeah so when it comes to, percentages
Speaker 3: it's like you're either one hundred percent in the playoffs
Speaker 3: or you're zero percent in the.
Speaker 1: Playoffs as far AS i look at, it AND i.
Speaker 3: Just look at this, team AND i think the difference
Speaker 3: just year over, year.
Speaker 1: The.
Speaker 3: Chiefs you, know The chiefs are what they were last.
Speaker 3: Year in, FACT i think The chiefs ARE i shouldn't say.
Speaker 3: THAT i think That chiefs are very similar to where
Speaker 3: they were last. Year last year they were just finding
Speaker 3: a way to win those one score. Games this, year
Speaker 3: they're finding ways not to win those. GAMES i think
Speaker 3: it's a very similar, team If i'm being. Honest so
Speaker 3: what that's led to is AN afc that's wide, open.
Speaker 3: Yep AND i think because of, that and because you're
Speaker 3: starting to play better in all three phases at the same,
Speaker 3: time it's really making, you, hey wait a, second everything
Speaker 3: that we want.
Speaker 1: To do is still available to, us now still.
Speaker 3: Available know of you can get to one sea because
Speaker 3: The patriots have just had such an easier.
Speaker 2: Sketch In denver and you lose the tiebreaker with, them
Speaker 2: but forget about.
Speaker 1: That, yeah, yeah just.
Speaker 3: Get, In just get. In and this is. Years where are?
Speaker 3: You are you fearful like the chief and. Raveises, okay
Speaker 3: you're gonna play The chiefs And raves in the playoffs
Speaker 3: like damn. It but, okay you're gonna play The Patriots
Speaker 3: broncos in.
Speaker 1: The, playoffs all, RIGHT i don't. Care, yeah, sure play what, however, whoever,
Speaker 1: Whoever i'd rather go To New england Than. Denver, YES
Speaker 1: i would. Too i'm telling you THAT i can't sleep In. Denver,
Speaker 1: yeah the.
Speaker 3: Altitude Gets, YEAH i can't sleep In denver for some.
Speaker 2: REASON i wake up like yeah all the. Time, yeah
Speaker 2: talking about that. TOO I i kind of feel. Similarly
Speaker 2: it gives me a light headache and. STUFF i, mean
Speaker 2: but you know, what but.
Speaker 3: If we've got, to if you have, to if we have,
Speaker 3: to we have, to our guys will go show.
Speaker 1: Up, yeah let's do.
Speaker 2: It our feelings really don't matter for Thistun but having said,
Speaker 2: that maybe some players feel the same. Way they have trouble,
Speaker 2: sleeping maybe trouble getting used to that, altitude whatever the case,
Speaker 2: is and you'll just deal with. It they have lost
Speaker 2: in the playoffs there. Before jacksonville did it once upon a,
Speaker 2: time as a matter of, fact beating them.
Speaker 1: Out oh, yeah nineteen ninety, six. Famously, yeah the Jag
Speaker 1: watts Is Woody.
Speaker 2: PAIGE i mean that Was John elwick quarterbacking that team
Speaker 2: that was number one. Seed, yeah there it.
Speaker 1: Is that's smoke By Mark brunell and the.
Speaker 2: Boys they also lost To pittsburgh they're in two thousand and.
Speaker 1: Five.
Speaker 2: Five, yeah because that's what Enabled Gary kubiak to come
Speaker 2: here before The Super.
Speaker 1: Yah, yeah, yeah that's, right that's, right that's right. There
Speaker 1: it is so they can lose at, home this team for. Sure,
Speaker 1: boy if This bonicks led team can for.
Speaker 2: Sure If hannah's, listening she's, like why are you guys
Speaker 2: talking about THE p word? Playoffs why are you guys doing?
Speaker 2: That we're, Not we're just hypothesize and gets Sports Talk.
Speaker 1: Radio it's, okay it's.
Speaker 2: Okay it's all about The chiefs On, sunday and we've
Speaker 2: got Some Who's better is coming up next For johnny
Speaker 2: coming up next here On Texans, radio right back into
Speaker 2: the Hun Day Texans radio studio here On Texans All,
Speaker 2: access and it's time to Play Who's. Better we've got
Speaker 2: a lot of different things to go over, today so
Speaker 2: let's kick it. Off, Okay johnny better Defense Kansas city
Speaker 2: or the forty nine. Ers you tell me who do
Speaker 2: you think is? Better you dealt with one very.
Speaker 1: WELL.
Speaker 2: Cj throwy for over three hundred yards against the forty nine.
Speaker 2: Ers did score a ton of, points but you scored it.
Speaker 2: Enough and now you've Got Kansas city on the road
Speaker 2: in their, place AND i know that's a big.
Speaker 1: Factor but in terms of.
Speaker 2: Defense on the, field neutral, situation.
Speaker 1: What are your? Thoughts? CHIEFS a couple of.
Speaker 3: Reasons number, one forty nine ers Without Fred, warner forty
Speaker 3: nine ers Without Nick.
Speaker 1: Bosa third, Reason Steve.
Speaker 3: SPAGNOLO i Think spags is as good as it is
Speaker 3: in the league. Historically as a defense, coordinator they Have
Speaker 3: Chris jones. Healthy Nick bolton is Not Fred, warner but he.
Speaker 1: Is he's.
Speaker 3: Close he's as close as you're going to get linebacker,
Speaker 3: wise AND i think the secondary With trent McDuffie is.
Speaker 3: Exceptional McDuffie's playing more outside than he is, inside but
Speaker 3: historically there really is only one guy that has ever
Speaker 3: really Given nico a lot of, issue and it's. McDuffie,
Speaker 3: Now Tyson campbell did with The jags a little bit
Speaker 3: just because his length and, size but Then campbell gets
Speaker 3: traded to The.
Speaker 1: Browns thank, You gladstone And Greg newsom couldn't do.
Speaker 3: That but McDuffie's played mostly on the outside this, year
Speaker 3: so would probably me in a matchup With. Nico and
Speaker 3: keep in, mind you could play in The San francisco.
Speaker 3: Game so to, ME i feel like The chiefs have
Speaker 3: got more pass rush. ABILITY i feel like right now Without,
Speaker 3: Warner chiefs linebackers are. BETTER i think McDuffie makes the
Speaker 3: secondary better for The. Chiefs And spagnolo IS i think
Speaker 3: tremendous and one of the things you, know talking about
Speaker 3: With Draw. Johnson will hear the interview On friday night
Speaker 3: what he talked About spags And Devika ryant's talked About.
Speaker 1: Spags there is This spags effect.
Speaker 3: On a, Game like you you kind of, wait, like all,
Speaker 3: right he's gonna have something a little, different whether it's his,
Speaker 3: disguises whether it's his, blitzes he's gonna have something unique
Speaker 3: for the Game sunday. Night The texans have to be
Speaker 3: ready for pretty much everything and or not get beat
Speaker 3: by that unique, Thing like, hey it's third and fourteen
Speaker 3: and he brings or third nine and he brings out
Speaker 3: some blitz that we haven't, seen our rules can't cover,
Speaker 3: it and we get sacked out a fueld goal range
Speaker 3: or whatever the case might be in a close. Ballgame
Speaker 3: So spags has a way of really putting his imprint
Speaker 3: on a.
Speaker 1: Game So i'm gonna give The, chiefs The edge and now.
Speaker 2: One, yeah if you look at their, NUMBERS i know
Speaker 2: they're not having a great season for, them six and. Six,
Speaker 2: yeah but when you look at their, numbers they're top
Speaker 2: ten and just about, everything absolutely top third of the.
Speaker 2: League it might not be, stellar, shining, nice, shiny top,
Speaker 2: three but it's.
Speaker 1: There and they've made some big.
Speaker 2: Stops and they do have six, wins and you mentioned it,
Speaker 2: earlier they've lost close. Games, right let's get to the
Speaker 2: next one. Here i'm gonna phrase this carefully, here bigger
Speaker 2: fall the twenty twenty Three jaguars or potentially the twenty
Speaker 2: twenty Five.
Speaker 1: Colts, oh, now The.
Speaker 2: Jaguars and you brought this up in segment. One they
Speaker 2: were eight and three at one point in twenty twenty
Speaker 2: three after beating The texans when Matt amandola's field goal
Speaker 2: bounced off the.
Speaker 1: Crossbar had he made, it it was going to go to.
Speaker 1: Overtime there was a twenty four to twenty one.
Speaker 2: Win but after that they lose five of six down the,
Speaker 2: stretch including a devastating loss in the regular season finale
Speaker 2: To tennessee to knock them out of the playoffs and the.
Speaker 2: Division as The texans not only won a playoff berth
Speaker 2: the night, before but they end up winning the division
Speaker 2: the next.
Speaker 1: Day that was a big.
Speaker 2: Fall, now The, colts they were seven and, one right
Speaker 2: and at the time The jags four and. Three was
Speaker 2: that it, yeah something like, that ye anyway or maybe.
Speaker 2: Whatever they're three games back at that, point, right and,
Speaker 2: yeah because of the byes and all.
Speaker 1: That so The jags seemingly out of.
Speaker 2: It but here they are tied for the division lead
Speaker 2: and they're playing each other this. Weekend AND i don't
Speaker 2: know where it's going with The, colts but they've lost
Speaker 2: three of four right, Now so bigger fall your thoughts
Speaker 2: when it's all said and. Done so it's sort of
Speaker 2: a projection, Here Johnny.
Speaker 3: WELL i think with the twenty twenty Three, jags one
Speaker 3: game THAT i remember most and keep in mind the
Speaker 3: twenty twenty Two jags going back a, year they had
Speaker 3: that run at the end of the year where they you,
Speaker 3: Know Doug peterson had come in and they really just
Speaker 3: they weren't.
Speaker 1: Clicking and then the second half of the.
Speaker 3: YEAR i remember talking To frank And frank was, like
Speaker 3: there was an interception To trevor threw against The, ravens
Speaker 3: and in throwing that interception against The, ravens he came
Speaker 3: up to the sideline and it was Like doug basically
Speaker 3: said to, Him, okay you're ready to follow the plan,
Speaker 3: Now trevor's like. Yeah trevor had his best games of
Speaker 3: his career over the next few. YEARS a point in
Speaker 3: saying that is in twenty twenty, three The jags were
Speaker 3: now kind of the hot. Team The jags are going
Speaker 3: to win a, division no questions, Asked. Trevor lawrence is
Speaker 3: on his. Way they had A monday night game against
Speaker 3: The Cincinnati bengals and The bengals beat them With Jake
Speaker 3: Browning Joe. Burrow it gotten. Hurt Jake browning stepped in
Speaker 3: and beat The. Jags and that's WHEN i was, like,
Speaker 3: oh this thing could. Happen if The colts lose down to,
Speaker 3: Stretch look they. Will they lost TO, uh they lost
Speaker 3: To Kansas, city, which you, know nothing to scoff that
Speaker 3: they would have lost TO us at. Home that's nothing
Speaker 3: to scoff that they've got a tough schedule down the.
Speaker 3: Stretch if they lose a game or, two it's The.
Speaker 3: Jags jags are eight and. Four it's a good football.
Speaker 3: TEAM i think the twenty twenty Three jags gag, job
Speaker 3: if you, will.
Speaker 1: Would be more more of a, meltdown more of a.
Speaker 3: Meltdown BUT i think The colts one will be, remembered
Speaker 3: obviously because The colts were being talked about as the
Speaker 3: number one.
Speaker 1: Team, look The cults are number team in. League look
Speaker 1: they've gotten over all, this they made The Scar. Gardener
Speaker 1: still there's still the top scoring. Offense Saus.
Speaker 3: Gardner trade trade to first and now you've got a
Speaker 3: banged up Sauce.
Speaker 1: Gardner you got an offensive score just sixteen.
Speaker 3: Points they haven't gotten over twenty three in the last
Speaker 3: couple of ball. Games they only got above twenty five
Speaker 3: against The falcons because they had to go to overtime
Speaker 3: and they had to kick a fuel goal on the
Speaker 3: last play of regulation to get to.
Speaker 1: Overtime so, yes.
Speaker 3: The colts going from The darlings trading for Sauce, Gardner,
Speaker 3: oh it's a definite's gonna happen to potentially.
Speaker 1: Out of the. Playoffs that's. Huge they're very.
Speaker 3: Close BUT i would think The jags just because it
Speaker 3: was in their.
Speaker 1: Hands, yep it was right there after the game.
Speaker 2: Get beat The titans on the last day of the.
Speaker 2: Season any one of those games down to, stretch just win,
Speaker 2: crazy couldn't do it?
Speaker 1: Crazy all? Right next? One all?
Speaker 2: Right best in terms of, toughest toughest or tougher in
Speaker 2: this case Environment Arrowhead stadium On sunday night in the,
Speaker 2: cold Or minnesota with the skull chant and all that.
Speaker 2: Volume or you could throw in a wild card if you. Like, now,
Speaker 2: obviously the teams have a great deal to do with,
Speaker 2: this the teams you're. Playing if you're playing A DIVISION
Speaker 2: iii college team At, arrowhead you'll take. That you're Playing
Speaker 2: Patrick mahomes At, arrowhead.
Speaker 1: Just Like New. England we're talking about let's go To
Speaker 1: New england in the.
Speaker 2: Playoffs that'd be. Great if you're Playing Tom. Brady i'm
Speaker 2: not opting for that. One so what do you think
Speaker 2: here in terms of? Environment try to keep things neutral
Speaker 2: as far as the team you're.
Speaker 1: Playing, yeah It's.
Speaker 3: ARROWHEAD i, mean, Look minnesota's intimidating when they start skull
Speaker 3: chanting and they get, going And Brian flora's, DEFENSE i,
Speaker 3: mean WE i don't Think i've seen this in a long,
Speaker 3: time be so outclassed and just out of, it and
Speaker 3: they fed off of, that and that is a tough.
Speaker 1: Environment now we don't go up there a.
Speaker 3: Lot it's every eight years we go up, there so
Speaker 3: it's also that part. Too it's kind of just a
Speaker 3: different environment for. Us SEATTLE i thought would be, louder
Speaker 3: BUT i understood that night because they had The mariners
Speaker 3: playing and all. That there was a lot going on for.
Speaker 3: Them but that's a that's a tough. Environment but to,
Speaker 3: me It's arrowhead when that place is. ROCKET i go
Speaker 3: back to the fumble on a kickoff in the playoff
Speaker 3: game When Dangel lcarter fumbled that ball and they got the,
Speaker 3: BALL i felt like it was going to fall down
Speaker 3: on top of. Me it was so incredibly loud and
Speaker 3: JUST i mean they were they were rabbit at that.
Speaker 3: POINT i mean, rabbit And i'm, like we were. Done
Speaker 3: we're cooked at this. Point and it pretty much came
Speaker 3: to fruition But, arrowhead and that was in the.
Speaker 1: Afternoon But arrowhead gets.
Speaker 3: That and we've been there a few times in playoff
Speaker 3: games where it starts kind of dusk or gray or
Speaker 3: whatever it might, be and then because it's later in the,
Speaker 3: year it turns dark by the. End oh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: yeah this is gonna be dark from the. Beginning this
Speaker 3: is gonna be dark from the time we pull up
Speaker 3: till time we. Leave so we've been there for night.
Speaker 3: Games we went there For thursday night. Gaming there WAS covid.
Speaker 3: Game it was it was a weird. Environment but we've
Speaker 3: been up there. Before we just haven't been able to
Speaker 3: crack the nut Since october of twenty. Nineteen and that's
Speaker 3: the only time That i've been up there that we've
Speaker 3: had that opportunity to. Win so going on To, minnesota
Speaker 3: we went up, there you, know twice Since i've been,
Speaker 3: here we've been up we went twice last.
Speaker 1: Year, Arrowhead, arrowhead it is.
Speaker 3: To, me the most you, know intimidating, environment also because
Speaker 3: fifteen eighty seven are both.
Speaker 2: There to, me of all the Stadiums i've been in when,
Speaker 2: EMPTY lsu, yeah An, Arrowhead, yeah those are the two
Speaker 2: that are the most intimidating empty right because you're on the,
Speaker 2: field you think this place it's about the.
Speaker 1: Rock, yeah that red all that red.
Speaker 2: Too, oh it's, crazy it's, crazy all. Right so that's
Speaker 2: a good one right. There let's get to another one.
Speaker 2: Here we all know the best receiver In texans history
Speaker 2: is The hall Of Famer Andre johnson Is Nico collins
Speaker 2: now officially the third best receiver in the history of the. Franchise,
Speaker 2: Now i'm gonna give you the list here of all
Speaker 2: time receiving. Yards It's Andre, Johnson DeAndre, hopkins Then Owen
Speaker 2: daniels all, RIGHT.
Speaker 1: O d put up a lot of, yards but it's
Speaker 1: a big.
Speaker 2: Drop off From, hopkins, obviously, yes But nico is fifth
Speaker 2: Behind Kevin. Walter and Now walter was here from six
Speaker 2: through twenty twelve and did a lot of great.
Speaker 1: Things but There's nico at four thousand.
Speaker 2: Yards So nico's gonna Pass Kevin walter like this, week,
Speaker 2: okay and he's gonna get right Behind Od AND i
Speaker 2: don't know if he passes him before the end of the,
Speaker 2: season but he certainly will next.
Speaker 1: YEAR i think he's.
Speaker 2: Third Will fuller would have had a seat at the
Speaker 2: table had he been able to stay healthy and stick,
Speaker 2: around but he.
Speaker 1: Didn't he's sixth in receiving.
Speaker 2: Yards now careful because sixth in receptions Behind Nico Arian,
Speaker 2: foster which is amazing because after, that after that It's
Speaker 2: fuller With Brandon cook sandwiched in. Between my, gosh then
Speaker 2: you Go Jabbar gaffnee And. Dalton dalton's tenth already in
Speaker 2: receptions And texans. History that's incredible considering some of the
Speaker 2: offenses they've. Had, yeah but it shows you how Much
Speaker 2: andre And hop And od we're getting the ball And
Speaker 2: nico gets the ball.
Speaker 1: Too Is nico officially the Third, yeah he's officially.
Speaker 3: OKAY i, mean, LOOK i would have liked to have
Speaker 3: seen what Will fuller could have done with another three years.
Speaker 3: HEALTHY i, mean he would have been pretty much, unstoppable
Speaker 3: but it just didn't happen that.
Speaker 1: Way there's Interesting.
Speaker 3: STAN i can't remember if we posted it OR espn posted,
Speaker 3: this BUT i think it.
Speaker 1: WAS i think we posted.
Speaker 3: It Aaron foster And Nico collins are the only Two
Speaker 3: TEXANS i have ninety yards total offense and a rushing
Speaker 3: touchdown in a.
Speaker 1: Game that's.
Speaker 3: Amazing ninety receiving yards and a rushing touchdown in the
Speaker 3: same game that they're.
Speaker 2: Doing receiving yard, yeah ninety receiving. Yards, yeah Because arian
Speaker 2: had those games in. Eleven he had two games where
Speaker 2: he had an eighty something or seventy five plus yard.
Speaker 2: Reception yeah, yeah yeah for a. Score so he had
Speaker 2: That raiders on screen whatever it was so he had
Speaker 2: A titans and A bucks and maybe A.
Speaker 1: Raiders. Two nico is.
Speaker 3: Three the question to me, becomes and you know how
Speaker 3: MUCH i love Both dre And?
Speaker 1: DeAndre when does he become? Two?
Speaker 3: Yeah that that to me becomes really. Interesting how long
Speaker 3: is it gonna? Take is it another two? Years is
Speaker 3: it three years where he? Overtakes HOP i, mean, Look
Speaker 3: drey's In hall Of fame and he's number, one and
Speaker 3: they're gonna stay that. Way it's gonna be very tough
Speaker 3: to supplant.
Speaker 1: Him does make it to The hall Of. FAME i
Speaker 1: think he does.
Speaker 3: EVENTUALLY i told Him i'm going to His hall Of
Speaker 3: fame speech no matter. What so hopefully he makes. It
Speaker 3: but that to me is the next. One when when
Speaker 3: Does nico in both numbers and just vibes move ahead Of?
Speaker 1: DeAndre? Yeah AND i mean it could be the next
Speaker 1: couple of.
Speaker 3: Years you, know maybe he has you, know IF cj
Speaker 3: stays healthy for seventeen games And nico stays healthy for seventeen,
Speaker 3: games you, know maybe it happens Where nico has like
Speaker 3: that one hundred and thirty five reception fifteen hundred, yard
Speaker 3: eleven touchdown, season uh something of that magnitude and we start, saying, hey,
Speaker 3: hey Maybe nico is he Challenging? DeAndre i don't, know
Speaker 3: but he to me is clearly, third and but he's
Speaker 3: but he's moving closer To.
Speaker 2: HOP i Think hop needed another big year or. Two
Speaker 2: he's a thousand yards away from Passing. Andre, okay Because
Speaker 2: andre is eleventh of the all time yardage. List hop
Speaker 2: is eighteenth currently and about one thousand. Back so that's
Speaker 2: hard to make, up especially at this point in his.
Speaker 1: Career so we'll see how it.
Speaker 2: Goes And i'm Glad dray got in when he got,
Speaker 2: in because it is getting harder than ever for these
Speaker 2: receivers because of some of the names coming up now
Speaker 2: where you have so much. Competition, Now Reggie wayne's still.
Speaker 2: Ahead i'm still he's ahead Of Andre johnson on the
Speaker 2: receiving yardage list and he's not in AND i don't
Speaker 2: know if he's gonna get in anytime.
Speaker 3: SOON i think what's gonna what's harder and harder going
Speaker 3: forward is how do you quantify equally amongst the? Receivers,
Speaker 3: yeah BECAUSE i don't know that we just started playing
Speaker 3: seventeen games in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: ONE i think that's what the season.
Speaker 3: Was by the, way you're gonna have guys that played
Speaker 3: extra game coming, up you know soon. Enough you know
Speaker 3: the number of comparisons some, guys you know when you
Speaker 3: start comparing like Well Inn Swan Will Liz want played
Speaker 3: fourteen games for a number of games in his, career,
Speaker 3: yeah or number of seasons.
Speaker 1: Is there's an exchange rate, here that's exactly.
Speaker 3: Right and so now you're getting caught, in, well this
Speaker 3: guy had a thousand receptions in his career or whatever
Speaker 3: it might. Be, yeah he played sixteen games. Here by the,
Speaker 3: way as a side, note WHEN i said, that it
Speaker 3: made me, think you realize That Travis kelce has played
Speaker 3: fifteen games a year for every year of his. Career
Speaker 3: his rookie year he only played like a play and
Speaker 3: he was out the whole. Year but starting in twenty,
Speaker 3: fourteen his second, year he's played fifteen games every single.
Speaker 1: Year that's.
Speaker 2: Crazy he's twenty, second by the way on the all
Speaker 2: time yardage.
Speaker 1: List nuts a tight. END a tight.
Speaker 2: End, now we do have some tight ends that are up,
Speaker 2: there Like Tony gonzalez for six but that's you, know
Speaker 2: he's the. Ultimate, Anyway that's it for this segment coming
