1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Just keep grinding, all right, We're getting better eating every day.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: Running wrapped to the goal line, fighting his way in

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: as the Texans wrap the lead.

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 3: That's gonna work.

5
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 4: Maybe takes the.

6
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 2: Gift pastime throws to the end zone, caught and it's

7
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 2: a tuckdown love the energy wrapped up for a loss

8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: for the TF ball inside the ten island it Texans have.

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 5: The ball on the pitall.

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: No, it's Texans all excess.

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 2: Hello Texans, and welcome the Hunday Texans Radio Studio. Wherever

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: we do it from, We're in there because it's mobile.

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: We go everywhere.

14
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 2: We do this show from all over the world. We've

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 2: done it from London, for crying out loud. That was

16
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: a while ago. We don't have to get into that tonight,

17
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: but we do have to get into this the Steelers

18
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: JJ Watt Weekend. A lot going on with your Texans

19
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: taking on Pittsburgh Sunday at noon. Mark Vandermere with you

20
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: with John Harris and John McClain. A little bit later

21
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: out of the show, third segment. To be precise, I'm

22
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: not gonna tease it and then make you wait and wait.

23
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: Well you should wait anyway, should listen to the whole

24
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: program and we'll have a quiz on this later. But

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 2: in the third segment, Drew Doherty visits the lockers of

26
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: Jalen Petrie, Kurt Heinisch, a Pittsburgh native, also Kendrick Green

27
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: who played for the Steelers. That's gonna be interesting, little

28
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 2: brief conversations at the players' lockers. They were fully closed.

29
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: Don't worry, it's radio. Wouldn't matter anyway, but let's welcome

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: in because it's Thursday. The General John McClain. John's super

31
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: exciting weekend with the Texans taking on the Steelers and

32
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: what going into the Ring of Honor, good evening.

33
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 6: And coming off that twenty point victory at Jacksonville makes

34
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 6: it even more exciting. More electricity around the city. The

35
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 6: Texans are only two and a half point underdogs to

36
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 6: the Steelers, who have won back to back games, so

37
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 6: a lot of people are betting the other way. So

38
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 6: if they can pull an up set, and it's going

39
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 6: to be really difficult considering the issues in the offensive line.

40
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 6: They're gonna be on their third left tack they're already

41
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 6: on their third left guard, third center, third right tackle.

42
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 6: It's gonna be difficult. But those Linemen are coming off

43
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 6: their best game. CJ. Stroud has been tremendous. At some point,

44
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 6: they'll get tied to sourd back next week. Maybe Juice

45
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 6: Scrugs will be able to run the ball better. But

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 6: it's gonna be electric and energized in ourg stadium. I

47
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 6: can't wait to hear the crowd when what comes out

48
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 6: to be inducted into the Ring of Honor?

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 5: General, what do you make of the Steelers defense outside

50
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 5: of Watt?

51
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: In high Smith? The reason I asked that is the

52
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: numbers aren't really great. Now.

53
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 5: I know three games don't tell a full story, but

54
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 5: this Steelers defense is giving up one hundred and fifty

55
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 5: two yards per game on the ground and giving up

56
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 5: two thirty five through the air in a total of

57
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 5: three eighty seven. Now they've also generated eight turnovers, which

58
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 5: helps so.

59
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: The plus four and turnaver margin.

60
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 5: But what do you make of that defense outside of

61
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 5: Watt and Heismith and maybe some of the struggles are

62
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 5: having giving up this much yardage.

63
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 6: It's interesting against the run because Steelers always seem to

64
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 6: be good against the run. Now the Texans is not

65
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 6: gonna be able to run against them because they can't

66
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 6: run against anybody. It won't be that they won't try

67
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 6: because Bobby slow has to call run plays. You can't

68
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 6: just let TJ. Watt and Alex high Smith t off

69
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 6: on Stroud on every single play. But it hasn't been

70
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 6: a dominating defense. It hasn't been your typical AFC North

71
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 6: defense that the Steelers really have. Hein Smith that't eve

72
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 6: got none tracked yet he has one sack. White has six.

73
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 6: So I'm pretty sure the Texans will double team Watt

74
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 6: and it wouldn't surprise me at all if Bobby Sloweck

75
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 6: doesn't max protect in this game. The team that I

76
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 6: remember being the best max protect team I've ever seen,

77
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 6: where the Joe Gibbs Redskins Super Bowl teams three of

78
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 6: them because they liked their wideouts and they kept it

79
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 6: tidy in and to fall back in the block to

80
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 6: help out. That may be what they have to do

81
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 6: against the Steelers.

82
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: John McClean joining us all right, So Garoppolo threw for

83
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: three twenty four against them, but he threw whoops three

84
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: interceptions in the game on Sunday Night, a game that

85
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: saw the Steelers have to land in Kansas City on

86
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: the way back. They were on the tarmac for a

87
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 2: long time in Kansas City. That story is told by

88
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 2: Bill Hillgrove, voice of the Steelers. That podcast is the Vanderpod,

89
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: which is on Houston Texans dot com and the Texans

90
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: app right now among other platforms. But general, as you

91
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: look at TJ. Watt, as you look at high Smith,

92
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: I'm looking at this Houston offensive line. Now the injury report.

93
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: Look this week, we saw that Josh Jones showed up

94
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: on the injury report, but Michael Dieter shows up today

95
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: as limited with a chest problem. That means something happened

96
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 2: because he wasn't on the injury report yesterday. And that's

97
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: another player that can ill afford to lose because they

98
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: need all the depth they can get. What do you

99
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: think of how they might construct things on the offensive

100
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: line this weekend with the personnel they have to utilize.

101
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,119
Speaker 6: No, Josh Jones is out, as Laramie Tounsell is out.

102
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 6: And the thing about Tonsoll, now this will be three

103
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 6: games and you wonder did he have a procedure And

104
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 6: they're going out of their way to protect it because

105
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 6: Dimiko said last week when he was talking about he

106
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 6: said he got it taken care of well. To me,

107
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 6: that tells me he's had a procedure on his knee.

108
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 6: And then Austin Deculus, who was not good in pre season,

109
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 6: he's starting at the most important position on the offensive line.

110
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 6: And that's why I was talking about max protection. And

111
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 6: maybe is it Grand Christians that he pronounced his first name?

112
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 6: I forgot? Is it Jeron Jaron Christian? He was signed

113
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 6: this week, I believe two days ago. I can't imagine

114
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 6: he could step in and start. That would be such

115
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 6: an indictment of diculous who's in his second season. But

116
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 6: Stroud's gonna have to get rid of the ball quick.

117
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 6: He's gonna have to be decisive, even quicker than he

118
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 6: already is. And he is decisive and his accuracy and

119
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 6: he's gotten so much well deserved. Let's see this week

120
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 6: nationally because of the wind and the way he's played,

121
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 6: and people are seeing what we've been seeing all along

122
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 6: is his timing on those out routes is just unbelievable,

123
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 6: going through his progressions, keeping it don't look where he's

124
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 6: going to throw the ball and tip off the secondary.

125
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 6: So Straut has been playing great. You hope he can

126
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 6: keep him up right until help is on the way

127
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 6: next week with Titus Howard and hopefully Juice Scruggs and

128
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 6: maybe Laramie Tunssell and Josh Jones could come back. But

129
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 6: this is such a big game, not just a big

130
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 6: day because of JJ, but such a big game. If

131
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 6: they could win this two weeks in a row, they've

132
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 6: been underdogs, and if they could win this, man, and

133
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 6: how exciting that would be for the fans and the Texans.

134
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 6: And I'm happy for Demiko and all the coaches because

135
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 6: you know, when coaches come in and they install their

136
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 6: systems and they preach to the players every day, you

137
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 6: have success like that game in Jacksonville, and the players

138
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 6: are like, ah, so that's why we're doing it this way,

139
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 6: and they all start to believe, and they all start

140
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 6: to buy in because seeing is believing and this game

141
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 6: they pull off that upset, and this game would be

142
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 6: another upset and they would start to get so much respect.

143
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 6: And I tell you what, this draft Dimiko and Casario

144
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 6: pulled off is looking so much better than last year's draft.

145
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 6: And they're getting so many contributions out of these rookies

146
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 6: right now. It's amazing.

147
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 5: General footbore to the other side and I asked this,

148
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 5: in all seriousness, what scares you the most about the

149
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 5: Steelers offense?

150
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 6: Nothing's really scary, But in each of the last two

151
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 6: games they've had a big pass play for a touchdown.

152
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 6: I think they've been for seventy plus yards. Steven Nelson

153
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 6: has been terrific. He was good last year, he's even

154
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 6: better this year. Nick Cereal probably wish they've redone his

155
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 6: contract sooner. And Derek stingely course, he's out again with

156
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 6: an injury. People are so disappointed in him not being

157
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 6: able to stay healthy. And a guy I guess the

158
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 6: passing the ball down the field because I'm looking at

159
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 6: the numbers and this blows me away. If you said, well,

160
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 6: which defense the Texans of the Steelers would be ranked

161
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 6: sixteenth and seventeenth against the run, well you'd say, well,

162
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 6: of course the Steelers. And which one would be wrecked

163
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 6: twenty eighth and tied for thirtieth against the run. Well,

164
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 6: of course that would be the Texans. But it's not.

165
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 6: It's the opposite. Steelers are twenty eighth in defense, they're

166
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 6: twenty seventh in offense. They can't run the ball either.

167
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 6: They're thirtieth in rushing the Texans have a better running

168
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 6: team right now than the Steelers do, so I think

169
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 6: the defense is going to play well. It's great to

170
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 6: see Jalen Petrie and Jimmy Ward playing together for the

171
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 6: first time. Eric Murray MJ. Stewart made some big plays

172
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 6: in backup roles, and the secondary to me, has been

173
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 6: a strong point. Even though Tavi or Thomas is out,

174
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 6: Stingley's out, and Petrie was out and Ward was out.

175
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 6: I think these guys are doing a really good coaching job,

176
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 6: not just on game day but in the preparation and

177
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 6: everything they teach. Not only anything to Miko's elvit coach,

178
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 6: but I think he's got a hell of the staff

179
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 6: in there and we're starting to see it. And as

180
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 6: long as they can keep Stroud from getting killed or

181
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 6: capable of moving the ball.

182
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 2: By the way, it is Jaren Christian, not Geron. It's

183
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: Jared Christian. I double checked, and I don't get thank

184
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: you credit deducted. I don't get any minus points on

185
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: my grade for incorrect pronunciations during shows, only during games.

186
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 2: So since we haven't kicked off yet, I'm still clear here.

187
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: It's Jaron Christian who they picked up this week. Former

188
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 2: Texan and now current Texan. All right, general, here we

189
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: go with CJ. Stroud getting another opportunity and he's offensive

190
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 2: rookie of the month. That is awesome to see. And

191
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: you've got TJ. Watt on the other side, the AFC

192
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: defensive Player of the Month. But CJ. Stroud Game four,

193
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: if he improves as much as he has each week

194
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 2: one to two, two to three, I don't know what

195
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: we're gonna see this week, but I think the kid

196
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: is up for the challenge. He says all the right

197
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: things and he's also doing all the right things so far.

198
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 6: He's cool and calm amid. You know, I'm thinking the

199
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 6: pressure of being a second overall pick and a rookie starter,

200
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 6: but also knowing the issues upfront and knowing how people

201
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 6: are coming after him. You know, after the first two games,

202
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 6: he's on a face to be sacked ninety three times,

203
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 6: and then he doesn't get sacked at all. He's been

204
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 6: hit nineteen times, and then he gets hit four times.

205
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 6: So he did a better job of addressing the pass rush.

206
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 6: I wrote a column about that, which is on sports

207
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 6: Radio six ten dot com, about his responsibility when it

208
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 6: comes to the pass rush. When you have so many

209
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 6: problems up front. And I tell you what, the biggest

210
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 6: surprise on this team is not Stroud. He's the second

211
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 6: overall pick. He's supposed to be good. His progress as

212
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 6: fast as he's made it that surprising. But the wide receiver,

213
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 6: who we all thought they ain't know the wide receiver,

214
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 6: they don't have a big play receiver, Well he got

215
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 6: one in Tank Dale only got another one Nico Collins.

216
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 6: If Nicocollins can stay healthy, he's going to make some

217
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 6: money after the season. And of course Robert Woods, he's

218
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 6: all the way back from that torn acl You know,

219
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 6: he had to spend a year getting over it at Tennessee.

220
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 6: And he is so reliable. You know, if they need

221
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 6: thirteen yards, he'll be at thirteen yards, you need eight,

222
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 6: he'll be at eight. So he is a really good

223
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 6: third down receiver for Stroud's got a lot of confidence

224
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 6: in those receivers. Tight ends are not catching the ball much.

225
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 6: But I don't want him throwing a ball to the

226
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 6: Dalton Shultz and taking it away from the three wide

227
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 6: receivers who have fifteen catches each. But of course they

228
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 6: would like to get more out of Shuls, but not

229
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 6: at the expense of the White.

230
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 3: House general, what's he going to take to get the

231
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 3: running game going?

232
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 5: Is it as simple as well, just wait till week

233
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 5: five when guys start coming back, Titus in particular, Juice

234
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 5: potentially maybe having Laramie back.

235
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: Who knows.

236
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 5: Is it as simple as just wait till guys get back,

237
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 5: or do you think there's something else they can be

238
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 5: doing to run the football better than they.

239
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 6: Have when you have what they have up front? It's

240
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 6: as simple as that. And we don't know when Laramie's

241
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 6: coming back. We think Titus is coming back next week.

242
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 6: Here's a question. When Jews Scruggs comes back, is he

243
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 6: guaranteed of being a starter. Jerry Patterson has played very

244
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 6: well now. He and Scruggs both played center and guard.

245
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 6: Because they had such high hopes for Scruggs being the

246
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 6: second round pick, in which they traded back in the

247
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 6: second round to get him, he had the inside track.

248
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 6: So I wonder as Patterson played well enough to center

249
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 6: at center to get a shot at left guard over

250
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 6: say Josh Jones, who's obviously more comfortable at tackle. So

251
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 6: hopefully they get some options, and they're tough options because

252
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 6: they're good and I'm not sure when Scruggs will be back.

253
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 6: I was just assuming that it would be so sooner

254
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 6: rather than later. But the thing about Tunsel in his

255
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 6: knee is worrisome.

256
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: All right, John, Let's go around the division a little

257
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 2: bit here, because the Titans are going to entertain the Bengals.

258
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: Bengals and Titans both desperately need this. I don't want

259
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: to say desperate. They both badly needed. They're both wanted two.

260
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: They want to establish something. I mean, the Titans in

261
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: the game against Cleveland could not get anything going offensively.

262
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: The Bengals with Joe Burrow coming off a victory, But

263
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: what do you make of this one? In Nashville Sunday

264
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: the same time, the Texans will be playing the Steelers.

265
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 6: This is the kind of game Mike Brabell can inspire

266
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 6: his team to win. But the Bengals need it more

267
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 6: because there's supposed to be a Super Bowl contender. Problem

268
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 6: is Joe Burrows still hampered by that cap injury that

269
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 6: may not get better. He doesn't have time to take

270
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 6: a few weeks off for Little TLC and the Titans.

271
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 6: Ryan Tannehill. He was down, he was terrible, then he

272
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 6: was okay. They couldn't run the ball. Derrick Henry had

273
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 6: minus six yards at halftime. Can you imagine him having

274
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 6: that against the Texans. They can't run the ball, their

275
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 6: offensive lines and the shambles. I'll tell you something was interesting.

276
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 6: I always go with the many things I read after

277
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 6: games is the ESPN Report where they go around to

278
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 6: all their correspondence. You know who's hot, who's not, who's

279
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 6: risers and fallers. So many of them were their offensive

280
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 6: line because of injuries. It's amazing. And I was around

281
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 6: a bunch of oilers at a Lovely Blue function at

282
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 6: the Ustonian this week and there were Hall of famers

283
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 6: there and I asked them, I said, why do you

284
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 6: think there's so many linemen? They said, because they don't

285
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 6: get to work enough in the offseason. You know, there's

286
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 6: not enough practice time for those guys to get in

287
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 6: football shape. And it's amazing how many teams have problems

288
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 6: in their line. I was watching Philadelphia and the holes

289
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 6: DeAndre Swift was running through, and I'm thinking, wouldn't Damien

290
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 6: Pierce like to have a hole like that? Because Pittsburgh,

291
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 6: I mean, Philadelphia's offensive line I think is the best

292
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 6: in football. But I think Cincinnati is going to win

293
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 6: that game, and jackson Bill is favored to win it

294
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 6: should Anthony Richardson comes back for Indianapolis, and I don't

295
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 6: know if there's going to be as good without Gardner

296
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 6: Minshew and his experience, but Anthony Richardson needs to learn

297
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 6: on the job.

298
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 5: General, what's going on in Jacksonville? I mean, is it

299
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 5: just kind of a second year hangover? Will they get

300
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 5: back on track? I mean it's a really talented team,

301
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 5: we know that, but Doug Peterson was exasperated after that

302
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 5: game against the Texans, losing by twenty to the Texans.

303
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 5: What's your thought on what is really going on with

304
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 5: the Jacks?

305
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 6: They started really bad last year. Everybody had a ticketed

306
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 6: down there, competing for last place in AFC South, and

307
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 6: then they turned it around. I keep saying haves, there's

308
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 6: no halves anymore over the latter part of the second

309
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 6: stage of the season, and then won the playoff game.

310
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 6: So they've done it two years in a row. They

311
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 6: started poorly. Trevor Lawrence is not playing like a generational quarterback.

312
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 6: Some people think it's to play calling. They think that

313
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 6: Doug Peterson took it over, but pres Taylor he didn't

314
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,239
Speaker 6: want to embarrass him, so he didn't say that. But

315
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 6: they got issues in their offensive line. Travisy. I mean, yeah,

316
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 6: Travis Etna ran the ball really well, but the passing game,

317
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 6: drop passes, somebody had them with seven drops in that game.

318
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 6: I didn't think there was seven. Calvin Ridley had a couple,

319
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 6: but they just look out of sync. And they've got

320
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 6: a good pass rush, you know, Josh Allen is tremendous.

321
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 6: They're still waiting for Trayvon Walker to play like the

322
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 6: guy who was drafted first overall. But they're vulnerable. It

323
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 6: could be whether it's the Texans, the Titans, the Colts

324
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 6: threatening them if any of them do. Jacksonville certainly doesn't

325
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 6: look like the runaway winner that Peter King picked to

326
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 6: have the best record in the AFC and get home

327
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 6: field advantage. They certainly don't look like that kind of team.

328
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: General, are you surprised that Jets haven't been more aggressive

329
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: getting quarterback help picking up Trevor simmeon Big Deal? Are

330
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 2: you a little surprised about that considering the lack of

331
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 2: production from Zach Wilson. I know they spent a lot

332
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 2: of money on Aaron Rodgers and who knows where it's going.

333
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 2: And I'll piggyback another one on top of that, Rob Salah.

334
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 2: If they have a tough year here record wise, and

335
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 2: they're projected to do so right now, what does that

336
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: say for his future? Because you know, we all like

337
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: him here. He is a former Texans assistant and everything.

338
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: I'm not going to like it December tenth. Don't get

339
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 2: me wrong, but I'm wondering what's going to happen.

340
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 6: The only reason I care about the Jets game is

341
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 6: Taylor Swift's going to be there. I don't give a ratch,

342
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 6: you know what about their quarterback situation because the biggest

343
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 6: story in sports right now is Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift.

344
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 6: They might as well put a camera on her full

345
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 6: time and then just go to breaks into the game

346
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 6: on the field, and I think it's great. I don't

347
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 6: think there's any way Robert Sally gets fired with what

348
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 6: happened Aaron Rodgers. Something that I've thought about quite a bit.

349
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 6: When Nathaniel Hackett was in Green Bay, Matt Leaflour called

350
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 6: the place he goes to, Denver's the head coach tries

351
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 6: to call plays and he's terrible. So then the Jets

352
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 6: hiring to be the offensive coordinator and play caller. Why

353
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 6: does anybody think that he can be a good play caller?

354
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 6: You know, Rogers could have called the plays. Well, now

355
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 6: you got Zach Wilson, who's terrible, and I feel sorry

356
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,239
Speaker 6: for him. Sally can't say, yeah, we're going to get

357
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 6: our brains beat out with him. I thought they'd try

358
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 6: to signd like Cole McCoy trade for Case Keenem or

359
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 6: Davis Mills, And maybe they tried. Nobody wanted to help

360
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 6: him out. But right now their last place team, and

361
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,239
Speaker 6: people thought that had a chance to go to the

362
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 6: Super Bowl. I'll tell you what's going to be interesting

363
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 6: after the season. What if they finished with one of

364
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 6: the five or six worst record. Do they take a

365
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 6: quarterback and sit him for a year or two while

366
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 6: Rogers plays. Because Zach Wilson go down as one of

367
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 6: the all time worst draft picks, oh man.

368
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: They will.

369
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 5: But he will not go down as one of the

370
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 5: worst free agent signings or trades, because that might be

371
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson in Denver.

372
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: General fix the Broncos if you can.

373
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, is there anybody out there listening

374
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 6: who is sorry? That the Texans didn't hire Sean Payton

375
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 6: instead of Dimiko No and Sean Payton's getting it stuck

376
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 6: up as you know what. You know what they say

377
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 6: about karma after ripping Nathaniel Hackett for one of the

378
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 6: worst coaching jobs you've ever seen. Now he's gotten beat

379
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 6: by fifty and giving up seventy, and he's got clock

380
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 6: management problems just like Nathaniel Hackett. Russell Wilson is not

381
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 6: the problem. He's not playing terrible this year like he

382
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 6: did last year, and that team just looks discombobulated lost.

383
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 6: I would love to see the Bears, by far the

384
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 6: worst team in the NFL, beat the Broncos and Soldier

385
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 6: Field and let Sean Payton all that humble.

386
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 2: By general, we all know that in a sports sense,

387
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: I'm very bitter and I hate certain teams, and the

388
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns are one of them because of well certain reasons,

389
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: and I want them to do poorly so the Technicans

390
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: get a better draft pick. So give me some hope

391
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: here that the two and one Browns, who will face

392
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: the Ravens this weekend, that the two and one Browns

393
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 2: will turn out to be bad after all? Is there

394
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: some hope for me here.

395
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 6: It's hard to be bad when your defense is great.

396
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 6: They are Jim Schwartz Jim and had some health issues.

397
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 6: He was working with Mike Brabel the last two years.

398
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 6: They give him chance to be a coordinator again. And

399
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 6: that defense is fantastic. Miles Garrett along with TJ Wht

400
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 6: Mike Parson three best pass rushers in the NFL, and

401
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 6: that defense is tremendous. They play the run great. Now,

402
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 6: Watson was not good in the first two games, he

403
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 6: was fantastic in that life game, and they want and

404
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 6: they hate to say, they're going to beat Baltimore. I'm

405
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 6: still shocked at Baltimore lost to the Colts, but you

406
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 6: got to hope that that just was an aberration for

407
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 6: Watson and then he'll go back to not playing well.

408
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 6: But I think the three of us and everybody listening

409
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 6: knows what kind of quarterback Watson can be, and that's

410
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 6: why they paid two hundred and thirty million guarantee for him.

411
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 6: But they got to hope now that when the weather

412
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 6: turns bad and he has to play all division games

413
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 6: outdoors and playing in one of the worst weather stadiums

414
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 6: in football, that that will have an effect on him

415
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 6: and they'll lose and help the Texans get a higher pick.

416
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 5: General, you and someone from a foreign country get on

417
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 5: an elevator and that person says you're a Hall of

418
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 5: Fame voter, and you say yes, Explain to me why, JJ,

419
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 5: what is going into the Hall of Fame?

420
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 3: In thirty seconds or less? What's your pitch?

421
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 6: Because he's one of the greatest players in the NFL history,

422
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 6: tied for the all time record for defensive Player of

423
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 6: the Year, tied Lawrence Taylor, who may be the greatest

424
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 6: defensive player in history. He is a no brainer.

425
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 2: Okay, that is thirty seconds or less. General Sports twenty

426
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: six to ten dot Comy of your column on CJ. Stroud?

427
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 2: What else are we looking for?

428
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 6: Guy one on Stroud god one of the astros, and

429
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 6: I'll have one in the morning on JJ Watt. From

430
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 6: the perspective of Dimiico when he met him during the

431
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 6: lockout in twenty eleven. For John Weeks, it's hard to believe. Weeks,

432
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 6: the greatest snapper of the NFL history, was here when

433
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 6: t was drafted and is here after when Watt's going

434
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 6: up to the Ring of Honor. And from the perspective

435
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 6: of a twelve year old kid who lived about two

436
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 6: or three miles from ENRG Stadium named Petrie what he

437
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 6: thought when he first heard about JJ Watt when he

438
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 6: was in his sixth grade.

439
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 4: Very nice.

440
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,640

465
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: Everybody else won in two, So better chance to win

466
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: the AFC South.

467
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 4: The Colts or the Field? Who are you picking?

468
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: Field? That's a safe pick.

469
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 5: It is a safe pick. But I mean I'm gonna

470
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 5: it's a smart pick. I mean it's called Who's Better?

471
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 3: Right?

472
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 5: So yeah, I would go Field because, first of all,

473
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 5: I think that the Texans have the best quarterback in

474
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 5: the division. Factor that in, I think the Jaguars are

475
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 5: right now.

476
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 2: That best quarterback cause right there, Yeah, the Texans have

477
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: the best quarterback in the division right now?

478
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: They do, ye, right now, they.

479
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 2: Do until Lawrence plays better or unless I'm not gonna

480
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: say until I don't want to leak it into being

481
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: unless he plays better than I have. Richardson comes back

482
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: plays great if he does that. And Ryan Tannehill just

483
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 2: watch it now. Ryan Tannehill is trying here, but it's

484
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: not working out the way he wants.

485
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 5: That offense is not good against the break now Browns

486
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 5: very good. But my point in saying that is, I

487
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 5: think right now CJ's playing the best of the quarterbacks.

488
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 5: The Jaguars won division last year and they had a

489
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 5: great second half of the season. I wouldn't put that

490
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 5: against him and the Titans other coach by Mike Rabel,

491
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 5: So you just never know, you never. You're just not

492
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 5: going to count out of Rabel coach. Team can't do it,

493
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 5: You're just not going to do it. Look, I know

494
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 5: that they're one win in their last ten games, but

495
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 5: they can turn that thing around with duct tape and

496
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 5: gum and get it.

497
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: Going in the other direction.

498
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 5: The Colts I think will go back to Richardson and

499
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 5: I don't know if for twenty twenty three if that's

500
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 5: the right thing. Mitchew I think can keep it together

501
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 5: long enough and win eight nine games.

502
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: Can he though? I think sis that sixty four million

503
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: dollar question. I think he can.

504
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 5: I think that offense, I think he can. We would

505
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 5: help them is an all pro running back coming back

506
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 5: in week six six, coming off pump, But Jonathan Taylor

507
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 5: doesn't want.

508
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: To be there and he's gonna get traded.

509
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: You would think I would think but if they start winning,

510
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 2: John and Zach Moss is doing very well for them.

511
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: He had a better game last week against the Ravens

512
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 2: that he did against thee.

513
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: He was good, exactly. So put Taylor with him. Yeah,

514
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: ouchnow thing.

515
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 5: Now you take a ton of pressure off Minshoe slash Richardson. Yeah,

516
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 5: and now it's on the offensive line of the offensive

517
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 5: line has played better. Bernard Ryman has played very well.

518
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 5: Left tackle. Quentin Nelson looks to be back now. Ryan

519
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 5: Kelly had to concussion protocol, but French does.

520
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: Okay.

521
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 5: Fries was really good at right guard against US, and

522
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 5: Braden Smith is Braden Smith. He's been playing that that

523
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 5: spots is twenty eighteen. Keep waiting for them to put

524
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 5: him at guards. That's everybody thought in the draft point

525
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 5: being they're good on both fronts defense, offensive front. But

526
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 5: I will take the field just because I don't know

527
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 5: what they'll do. If they go back to Richardson, I

528
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 5: think it's I think it's very reasonable that one of

529
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 5: the other three went in division. If they stick with Minshew,

530
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 5: I think it's a pretty good shot.

531
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: They wouldn't division. I just think he's the right fit

532
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: for that team right now. I don't know, we'll see

533
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: I like CJ. Stroud a lot.

534
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 2: And the fact that you said they'm the best quarterback

535
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: in the division right now.

536
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 4: It just sounds you good.

537
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 2: No, I don't, but it just sounds so good to

538
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 2: hear it.

539
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 4: I mean it makes me want to perr.

540
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 2: Okay, who's better better oh in three team? The Chicago

541
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: Bears or the Denver Broncos.

542
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 4: Something's got a cave as they meet this week.

543
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: I I know we talked about this at the General,

544
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: But you tell me who's the better O three and

545
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: oh and three team?

546
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: That's gross. This is a gross question.

547
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 4: Sour milk or sour heavy cream.

548
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 5: I don't know which is which is brit I'm gonna

549
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 5: go with the you know here, I am about to

550
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 5: go with the Broncos.

551
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: I think it was seventy Burger last week. Well, the

552
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: Bears are not the Dolphins.

553
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 5: This Bears gave up forty one of the chiefs. But

554
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 5: I think Big Red Andy Reid called off the dogs.

555
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, so.

556
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 5: If I mean they are gonna play each other where

557
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 5: they're playing Denver, Chicago Chicago, I'm a I'm gonna.

558
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: Lean Broncos only because.

559
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 5: I feel like Sean Peyton will get a little bit

560
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 5: more out of them.

561
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: I don't trust anything with Chicago right now.

562
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 5: At least with Denver, there is some elite talent at

563
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 5: certain spots.

564
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Shartan's playing secondary.

565
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 5: But again, I repeat, the Broncos gave up a seventy

566
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 5: burger last week. But I'm gonna roll Russell Wilson in

567
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 5: the Broncos and Sean Payton, Oh god.

568
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: That's just dirty.

569
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 2: I could easily see Field saying, you know what, f it,

570
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start running. I agree that the rext the

571
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 2: game for the Broncos defense. I could see that which

572
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 2: did not look spry against the Miami offense the past week.

573
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 5: You don't see mister unlimited doing that for the broncosmity.

574
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: All right, let's continue on with the letter here rose question.

575
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: Let's go to the AFC North. The Texans play this division.

576
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: They've already played the Ravens, but they will not play

577
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: the Browns until Christmas Eve.

578
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 4: Better chance to win the AFC North.

579
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 2: The Ravens are the Browns and they will meet on

580
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: Lake Erie this week.

581
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 4: The Ravens meeting their former team, Well, does that make sense?

582
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 4: They were the Cleveland.

583
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 2: Browns once upon a time before they moved to Baltimore.

584
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: And changed their name.

585
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 2: But they will go to the shore of Lake Erie

586
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 2: and play Cleveland.

587
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 4: Who's better to win one Ravens to win one.

588
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 2: Browns or I should say this better chance to win

589
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: the division? Because we know this is a war of attrition,

590
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 2: this is a marathon. Who's going to survive at Johnny?

591
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: I think the Ravens will. Now, ironically both of them

592
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: have lost their their number one running backs. I think

593
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 2: that's a bigger loss for.

594
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 5: The Browns than it is for the Ravens because some

595
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 5: would argue that the best running back for the Ravens

596
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 5: is number eight.

597
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Ravens.

598
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,479
Speaker 5: I do think the Browns defense is a whole different

599
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 5: animal than it's been. That defense is wildly good, but

600
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 5: that Ravens defense is pretty salty too. And I think

601
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 5: the Ravens defense is a little bit more complex. They'll

602
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 5: show you different looks where the Browns are just we're

603
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 5: really good at all these positions.

604
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: Come and stop us.

605
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, and teams haven't been able to move the ball

606
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 5: against them, and they're getting some great playout of some

607
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 5: guys that maybe didn't expect what Grant Delpa has been

608
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 5: incredible for the Browns. But I'm gonna go Ravens because

609
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 5: I a trust lamar B. I trust Harbaugh and see

610
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 5: I trust the defense.

611
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: I with ro kwand Smith over there. I trust that defense.

612
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 5: I think that multiple looks they give teams they're they're

613
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 5: more difficult to play.

614
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: The Ravens are, I think.

615
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna go Ravens, and I'll go Ravens over

616
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 5: the Browns in Cleveland. I can't believe I'm doing that,

617
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 5: but I'm going Ravens over the Browns.

618
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: Okay, pick this game. This is not a who's better,

619
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 2: but it's just picked this game. The Dolphins at the Bills.

620
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: I like this one. This is a good game. This

621
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: should be a primetime game. This caulflow right.

622
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 7: Yeah?

623
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 2: Can we get rid? It's in Western New York? Yes,

624
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 2: can we get rid of Jets Chiefs on Sunday night?

625
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 2: Although with Taylor Swift going to the game, that's gonna

626
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 2: be an awesome draw. But tell me, Bills Dolphins.

627
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: Who do you got?

628
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 5: It was ugh up in Buffalo last time I met

629
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 5: up in Buffalo's thirty to twenty nine playoff game is

630
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 5: a win for the Bills, and it was a game

631
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 5: in which everybody was like, hey, Dolphins hung around. Oh

632
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,719
Speaker 5: I don't know about that this week, I think, but

633
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 5: I'll tell you this. Josh Allen played unbelievably well the Commanders.

634
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 5: The Bills have gotten they find they they're like Stella.

635
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 5: They found their groove again. Yep, how Stella found her groove? Well,

636
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 5: the Bills have found their groove. I'm gonna go with

637
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 5: the Bills. I think being the Bills up Orchard Park

638
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 5: is pretty tough. So I'm gonna go with Bills close.

639
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 5: But why, I mean, look, you're right, Taylor Swift. That

640
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 5: changes things, It changes the math on things. Yeah, but

641
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 5: we're gonna keep an eye on that game for sure.

642
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 5: That Bills Dolphins game.

643
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 4: Wow, what Christ You can't slide it into.

644
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: A four slot. Yeah, that's what I thought too.

645
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: You know, the Patriots are going to play the Cowboys

646
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: though in the late window, and the Cowboys I don't

647
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 2: care who they're playing.

648
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: It's a big draw. TV networks love it. So maybe

649
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: that factors.

650
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: In Monday night as the Seahawks at the Giants, and

651
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 2: we don't need to go over that again. All right,

652
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: let's do this. Who's better? Let's go to campus now,

653
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 2: who can't wait for the Texas Bowl later this season.

654
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 2: But we talk about Big twelve sec and all of

655
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 2: college football from time to time.

656
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 4: So let's do it better. Chance to win this weekend?

657
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 2: The Aggie's visiting Arkansas or the Longhorns home to a

658
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: very sneaky maybe not so sneaky hot Kansas team. So

659
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 2: this is going to be interesting the Aggies with is

660
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 2: he really a backup quarterback? Going to Arkansas? Longhorns hosted

661
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: the dances the Arlington. They'll play up in Jerry World.

662
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, my beast.

663
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 5: So A and m am has played pretty well up there.

664
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 5: But they're just weird things that happened last year. Arkansas

665
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 5: was dominating the game early and kJ Jefferson tries to

666
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 5: fly in from the four yard line. The quarterback, I

667
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 5: don't know what he's thinking, well about the one yard line.

668
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 5: The ball got popped out. A and M picked up

669
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 5: branded to the end zone, and that really was the

670
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 5: difference in the game, that kind of freaky play. I

671
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 5: think A and M's defense has woken up. It's not

672
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 5: wrecking Crew quite yet, but we all knew it was

673
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 5: a talented defense, very talented, But that's a closer game.

674
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 5: I'm gonna pick A and M and I'm gonna pick Texas.

675
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 5: Texas spread is like seventeen against Kansas.

676
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,479
Speaker 4: Do you think a little much? If I was little much?

677
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: I am not that type, but if I was, I

678
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 2: would say, all right, give me that, give me those

679
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 2: seventy game Kansas is.

680
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it.

681
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 5: I think Kansas puts up twenty eight to thirty one,

682
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 5: it means you got to put up forty five to

683
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 5: forty eight.

684
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: And I don't know.

685
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 5: I mean, Kansas defense isn't the eighty five Bears, but

686
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 5: it's decent and it's got some players.

687
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

688
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 5: That Texas is gonna get the forty five or forty eight,

689
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 5: But I do think Texas, both Texas schools win those games.

690
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 5: I think it's more difficult for A and M because

691
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 5: they gotta try to stop kJ Jefferson.

692
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: Texas gotta stop Jalen Daniels. Is this a lot closer

693
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: than than you know? Oh it's gonna be this. It's

694
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: a lot closer. But I think the edge.

695
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 5: Would go to A and M just because I think

696
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 5: Arkansas is a little bit more physical overall, and that

697
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 5: game is at a neutral site, whereas Texas playing at

698
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 5: the cozy confines of DKR, which two years ago the

699
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 5: Jayhawks took it, took it to him and won a game.

700
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 5: Scored a two point conversion to finish that game, So

701
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 5: little revenge factor for the Texas.

702
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: Longhorns this time.

703
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 2: All right, Johnny, thanks a lot, you gotta Mark, thank you.

704
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 2: All right, coming up, let's hear from some brief conversations

705
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 2: from Jalen Petrie, Kurt Heinisch, as Drew dolready catches up

Speaker 2: with those guys in the locker room following practice, and

707
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 2: we'll have Houston Methodist minutes the injury tonight. I have strings.

708
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: Oh no, but let's learn a little bit more, shall we.

Speaker 4: You know I'm clear now and just ready to go.

719
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 7: How anxious were you to get back out there. We

Speaker 7: you look pretty good. You're getting loose and you're making

722
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 7: one hand catches. What was the I guess the anxiousness

723
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 7: level like for you?

724
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,040

Speaker 3: I've been ready to go.

726
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 9: You know, it's all about what the doctor is saying, though,

727
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 9: you know, I want to respect their opinion. You know,

728
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 9: they've been doing this for a long time, so you know,

729
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 9: I was just waiting for, you know, the okay, and

730
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,520

Speaker 7: Jalen, tell us about this Pittsburgh offense. What are some

733
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 7: of the strengths that stand out to you?

734
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, a good offense.

735
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 9: You know, two dominant backs and Najee and the other

736
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 9: running back. You know, I played him in college, so

737
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 9: he tough runners. They also have a good receiver in

738
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 9: fourteen and a good young quarterback, so you know, looking

739
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 9: forward to the challenge and looking forward to you know,

740
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 9: going out there and competing against them.

741
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 7: How much fun was it seeing Jimmy Ward get into

742
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 7: the mix last week?

743
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 4: I was real fun.

744
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 9: You know, that was my first time seeing him in

745
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 9: in a real game experience, So it was good to

746
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 9: see him fly around and make plays. You know, I'm

747
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 9: it was you know, it's a little different from practice.

748
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 9: You know, you get a little bit more excited for

749
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 9: the games. But you know, he's a pros pro like.

750
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 9: He went out there, he executed, and he did what

751
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 9: he needed to do to help us get to win.

752
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 7: This secondary as a whole, there's been comings and goings

753
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 7: player wise all season long. What do you thought about

754
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 7: how the way they're perform it you guys are performing.

755
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, we understand, you know the nature of the

756
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 9: game of football. You know there's gonna be injuries, ups

757
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 9: and downs, but it's all about you know, if you're there,

758
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 9: you know, just putting your best for four and I

759
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 9: think everybody that has gotten their name call has done that.

760
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 9: So I'm looking to, you know, continue that and help

761
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 9: out and contribute to the team as much as I can.

762
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: All Right, there's Drew with gel and Petrie.

763
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 2: Now let's shift gears to all Steelers all the time.

764
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding about that. But what about Kendrick Green.

765
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 2: He came from the Steelers and now he's starting on

766
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 2: the old line for the Houston, Texans.

767
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 7: We gotta talk about what you guys were able to

768
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 7: do last Sunday. I know you're looking ahead, but you

769
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 7: get here basically in September and you're not the only one,

770
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 7: and you guys are able to do what you did.

771
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 7: What's gelling right now for you guys up front?

772
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 8: Man?

773
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 10: Just to be honest, it's all CJ.

774
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 8: Man.

775
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 10: CJ got us kind of coming together. You know, we're

776
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 10: trying to play for him, you know, knowing he young,

777
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 10: and y'all see what he can do when he gets

778
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 10: time back there, he's gonna let it fly. So I

779
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 10: feel like that's our biggest motivation is just trying to

780
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 10: keep CJ clean and the whole world see what happened

781
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 10: when he cleaned.

782
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 7: How long did it take you to notice that once

783
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 7: you got here.

784
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 10: Think like three days?

785
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 8: You know.

786
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 10: It's it's kind of different, you know, when we're not

787
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 10: in like, uh, we're we're in a practice setting, right.

788
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 10: I think he went out there and against Baltimore looked

789
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 10: really good. Obviously things the clean up, but so he

790
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 10: just each week he getting better and better, making better

791
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 10: decisions better. You know, he's a better timing, better rhythm

792
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 10: with the receiver. So I think you know, we we're

793
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 10: gonna we're gonna ride. Uh, we're gonna go as far

794
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 10: as We're gonna go as far as he take us,

795
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 10: and he's only gonna go as far as we take him.

796
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 7: So do you think you guys as a unit are

797
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 7: doing well? And what do you think you guys as

798
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 7: a unit need to get a little bit better at.

799
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 10: I think it's just like you said a little bit more.

800
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 10: I think right now we're playing hard, we're playing physical,

801
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 10: but we just you know, some small things we got

802
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,240
Speaker 10: cleaned up assignment wise and whatnot.

803
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 7: So I know it's still very early, it's only three

804
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 7: games in. But individually, Kendrick, what's it like being here

805
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 7: after you know what you went through your early part

806
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:20,959
Speaker 7: of your career.

807
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm super glad I'm here, Stoll. I wasn't in

808
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 10: a good situation in Pittsburgh at all. I'm glad it happened.

809
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 3: I thank god every day it happened so far.

810
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 7: So how excited are you for this weekend? You know,

811
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 7: you got a tall task in front of you, not

812
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 7: you individually, but everybody as an offenser.

813
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 10: It's another game. You know, obviously, a good defense I

814
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 10: know him pretty well. It's gonna be a good challenge.

815
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 10: It's gonna be fun seeing all seeing all my guys

816
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 10: out there playing against them and competing against them.

817
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 6: So I'm excited.

818
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 7: What was your first impression of the stadium being on

819
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 7: this sideline the two weeks ago.

820
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 3: I liked it, man.

821
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 10: I thought the energy was good. I didn't know they

822
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 10: got as loud as it did here, so that was exciting.

823
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 2: There's at least one more texted with some Pittsburgh perspective,

824
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 2: and that's Pittsburgh area native. Kurt went to Notre Dame,

825
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 2: but he's from the steel City, and Drew Dougherty visited

826
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 2: with him briefly in the locker row.

827
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 7: Kurt, good to see you. You're playing against the hometown team.

828
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 7: Before we get into the matchup and all that stuff.

829
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 7: What's it like playing against the Steelers in your mind

830
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 7: getting ready for this one?

831
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: It was cool.

832
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 11: I was telling the people from the Steelers media would

833
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 11: be a lot different if I was going back to Pittsburgh,

834
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 11: but it just feels like another week to be honest

835
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 11: with you, Just like guys, it's never been about the oponent.

836
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 11: It's always been about us.

837
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 7: So have you heard much from family friends leading up

838
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:27,479
Speaker 7: to this one.

839
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, I mean everyone's gotta flap their gumbs and

840
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 11: talk smack to me. You know, the Steelers are coming

841
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 11: to town. I probably have some family members rooting against

842
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 11: me this week. You know how Steelers fans are. The

843
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 11: ins Ers are so but it's funny.

844
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: I like it.

845
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 3: It's you know, they're everywhere, aren't they? Oh yeah, the everywhere.

846
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 11: It's great.

847
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 7: Hey, how are you doing individually so far? How would

848
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 7: you grade yourself out?

849
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 11: Could definitely do things better from a technical standpoint, sometimes

850
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 11: very away from sometimes very away from your technique when

851
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 11: you're constantly trying to focus on making plays. But at

852
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 11: the end of the day, your technique is what it's

853
00:40:58,600 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 11: going to help you make more plays.

854
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 6: So this week I've really.

855
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 11: Been honing in on my technique, like just really focusing

856
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 11: on it. I mean I write it, I write it

857
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 11: on my table, my gloves, so that every before we play,

858
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 11: I look down. You know, there's a lower, better hands,

859
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 11: all that.

860
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 7: So stuff that you can play. It doesn't matter when

861
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 7: you're playing who you're playing.

862
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 11: Right, correct, Yeah, you technic is gonna be the same

863
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 11: conversus everybody.

864
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 7: What stands out to you the most about this offensive

865
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 7: line of Pittsburgh's.

866
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 11: It's a typical Pittsburgh running down your throat kind of

867
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 11: kind of offensive line. It's, you know, it's how they always

868
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 11: play it, It's how they want to play. It's like,

869
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 11: it's how they've always been right. So they present a

870
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 11: good challenge for us, and we're excited for it.

871
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 7: How excited are you, guys to get a guy like

872
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 7: Jalen Petrie back there way behind you.

873
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 4: He's a stud.

874
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 11: His energy is second to none, to be honest with you.

875
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 11: I mean, even when he's not playing and you know

876
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 11: where getting the Petrie's out on the field. You know,

877
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 11: he's always getting everybody hyped up, and so it's great

878
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 11: to have him back out there. He's you know, it's

879
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 11: a little fireball out there.

880
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: It's it's cool.

881
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 7: Last thing we've heard from a lot of your teammates

882
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 7: their vantage point and their thoughts on Andrew Beck's return

883
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 7: for a score? What did you see on Sunday?

884
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 11: I saw him babble the ball and I was like,

885
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 11: and then all of a sudden, it's so I'm pick

886
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 11: it up And I was like, oh, and I.

887
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 4: Was like, oh no, they run.

888
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 11: I was like, oh, I stayed out. I'm yelling on

889
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 11: this island. I'm like, oh, and then I'm out, like

890
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 11: almost onto the field yelling. He's running down the sideline

891
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 11: and I forgot because I was so excited. I'd got

892
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 11: my helmet run off a field goal. I had to

893
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 11: turn around and run back and got my helmet and

894
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 11: then run back out on the field. So I was like,

895
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 11: let's go.

896
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: You know this, It was crazy, Kurt, appreciate the time.

897
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: Let's let this on. Thank you.

898
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 2: All right, there's Drew Jordi with Kurt Heinish. Time to

899
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 2: get into it now. Houston Methodist Minutes. We do it

900
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 2: every week and this week the topic is hamstrings with

901
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 2: Joshua Yonker, Outreach athletic trainer with Houston Methodist Orthopedics and

902
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 2: Sports Medicine.

903
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 4: All right, Joshua, how's it going.

904
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 8: It's going great today.

905
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 6: How are you doing? Mark?

906
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 4: Excellent?

907
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 2: Okay, So tell me about hamstring injuries because we see

908
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 2: them a lot in sports. We've seen them on this

909
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 2: team and we need to know more about them. How

910
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 2: do they occur? How could they be prevented? But let's

911
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 2: start first. How do they occur? Is this dehydration sometimes

912
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 2: stretching in an unusual or dramatic manner. What goes into

913
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 2: a hamstring injury, Joshua, Sure.

914
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 8: So, several factors that can go into a hamstring injury.

915
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 8: When we look at risk factors, some of the things

916
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 8: that we primarily are looking at and seeing is weakness

917
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 8: of the hamstring muscles as well as tightness. A lot

918
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 8: of people have tight hamstrings, and that's a primary complaint

919
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 8: that we see in athletes after they've injured. This some

920
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 8: other things that we see as athletes that aren't doing

921
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 8: a good dynamic warm up, and then athletes when they

922
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 8: start to get fatigued, their muscle is just not able

923
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 8: to accommodate the forces that they're placing on it.

924
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 2: So there are varying degrees of hamstring injuries. How do

925
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 2: you diagnose this, Joshua without an MRI or X ray

926
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 2: or whatever.

927
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 8: Sure So, hamstring injuries we typically grade as a grade one, two,

928
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 8: or three. One is the mild hamstring injury. That's usually

929
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 8: a stretch, an overstretch where there's not really much of

930
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 8: the muscle or the tendon torn. When we look at

931
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 8: grade two, you've got some partial tearing of the muscle

932
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 8: or the tendon and in grade three hamstring injuries the

933
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 8: most severe. That's where we may have a complete tear

934
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 8: of the muscle or the tendon, So those are obviously

935
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 8: the most severe. The grade two and the grade three

936
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 8: hamstring injuries typically come with pain, swelling, and bruising, along

937
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 8: with dysfunction, discomfort, walking and just doing activities the daily

938
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 8: living are hard sometimes with those grade two and grade

939
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 8: three injuries. With the more mild injuries, we may feel

940
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 8: a lot of muscle tightness and the athlete just complaining

941
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 8: of pain and discomfort with that, how.

942
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 2: Do you balance rest and trying to get back into

943
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 2: things athletically as far as whatever kind of work you

944
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 2: can do to get the muscles back, keep them in shape,

945
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 2: keep the other muscles in shape.

946
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: How do you handle that part of it?

947
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 8: Joshua, Yeah, hamstring injuries can be very tricky, so they

948
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 8: they typically take a lot longer than we like them

949
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 8: to take. So, you know, there's research showing that in

950
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 8: youth soccer, average time from mild hamstring injuries to return

951
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 8: back to full play can be upwards of three weeks

952
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 8: or more. So you know, rest is a big factor,

953
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 8: so we want to reduce the activities that are causing pain.

954
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,720
Speaker 8: Continuing to do activity as the daily living is okay.

955
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 8: You know, if somebody's having walking problems, walking difficulty, they're

956
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 8: limping because their hamstring is hurting so much, we want

957
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,240
Speaker 8: to play someone crutches to allow that muscle to continue

958
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 8: to rest a little bit. During this time, we can

959
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 8: work on range of motion. Being able to just start

960
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 8: stretching the hamstring a little bit without being super aggressive

961
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 8: with it, and strengthening is probably the biggest factor when

962
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 8: we look at return to activity. We want to make

963
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 8: sure that hamstring muscle has gotten strong again. So some

964
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 8: different types of strengthening, primarily something called e centric strengthening,

965
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 8: where the muscle is actually lengthened as it's put under

966
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 8: a stress. Is one of the best exercises that helped

967
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 8: short and rehab times and get those athletes and act

968
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 8: the people back on the quarterfield or whatever they're trying

969
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 8: to do.

970
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:07,879
