1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Here's the snap, four man rush firing Daffield and got

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: a man rock and roll touchdown. Texans game day is

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: every day. Yeah, nice ball, nice ball, five nights a week.

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: The hits keep on coming. Sack wows, we're gonna down

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: our quarterback. No, it's Texans All Excess. Welcome into Texans

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: All Access on a Tuesday. It's the NFL trade deadline.

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: It's come, it's gone. We can now talk about it.

8
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: It's over with. Hello, welcome back. I'm dp stoo along

9
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: with Mark Fannomer. We just wrapped up the Players Show.

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 1: And I don't know about you, Mark, but I'm kind

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: of glad it's behind us. Even though it was a

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: very uneventful trade deadline, I mean not untotally uneventful, but

13
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: pretty much pretty it wasn't what we thought it was

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: going to be across the league. And I'm not just

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: talking about the Texans. Well, as far as the Texans go,

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: I didn't think that it was gonna be that eventful.

17
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: I was hoping for some sort of resolution to what's

18
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: been hanging over this franchise's head for a while now,

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: nine months, whatever it is, but you're not going to

20
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: get it right now, and I think everybody's hoping for

21
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: a resolution, right every party involved with this whole situation,

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: but it's just not there yet. And at some point

23
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: it will be there and we'll all celebrate that day,

24
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: we'll all be happy about it. But it's not there yet.

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: And again, I'm not happy about what happened. I'm just happy.

26
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: I'll be happy when everybody can move on, right, every

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: party involved can move on with their lives and their

28
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: careers and their professions and their craft and we just go.

29
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: But right now, we still have this sort of holding

30
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: pattern as far as that's concerned. And you have a

31
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: season to play, right you still have nine games left

32
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: in this season, and I'm here for a deep I

33
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: want to see better play on the field. But yeah,

34
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: this trade deadline, I was hoping for things to happen,

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: but I did not expect it, So I guess I

36
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: wasn't completely shattered by it, but I was hoping for

37
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: something I wasn't either. But you know, in the last

38
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: few weeks there's been talks of trade bubbling back up

39
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: to the surface again, so I think everybody kind of

40
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: got back on that bandwagon again, like maybe something's about

41
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: to happen. But I am glad that the trade deadlines

42
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: passed because now we know the players that are left

43
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: on the team, because it seemed like there was a

44
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: lot of speculation as to which players would be traded,

45
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: might be traded, could be traded, right, and now we

46
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: just know we know that there was there were two

47
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: players traded here for the Texans. We'll get into that

48
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: without some of our headlines for today, but other than that,

49
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: it was a relatively quiet day here in the stadium.

50
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: And you can't do it the way Baseball does it

51
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: where we have a trade deadline. But wait a minute,

52
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: we can still make trades. We could still make deals.

53
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: You can still get Justin Verlander in twenty seventeen after

54
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: the trade deadline somehow. Don't ask me how it happens,

55
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: but it just does. Okay, that doesn't happen in the NFL.

56
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's get into some of our quick

57
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: hits for the week. The Texans traded Charles Amenaho to

58
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers for a late round pick.

59
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: That was really the big news, the new news, at

60
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: least for the day. Obviously, they traded mark Ingram last week,

61
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: but Amena who gone. He was at twenty nineteen fifth

62
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: round draft pick. He saw action in thirty five games

63
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: with seven starts over the course of the past two

64
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: and a half seasons or so, seven sacks, twenty four

65
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: quarterback hits, two forced fumbles. Really, his best season was

66
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: probably twenty twenty, where he had four sacks, sixteen quarterback hits,

67
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: and five TFLs. This year, he was part of a

68
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: rotation of d lineman, so we saw him inactive for

69
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: two games. We saw him start the first two games.

70
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: There were a lot of There are a lot of

71
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: questions surrounding Charles Amnahu in his status and where things

72
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: were headed. So not a total surprise. Although you know

73
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 1: what we saw last year, I think everyone was sort

74
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: of hoping that he was going to build on it.

75
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: It was going to be another really yea year for him. Yes,

76
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: because in the offseason we talked about him being a

77
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: big part of this. Right you're bringing new people, but

78
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: he's one of those cogs that you might want to

79
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 1: build around. And clearly they saw it differently dep when

80
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: you talk about being inactive and while he's out there

81
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: making some plays, but what you don't see is everything

82
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, everything that they work out in practice

83
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: versus what transpires on the field whatever. So it's understandable

84
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: that you know, it's it's clear, it's transparent that the

85
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: Texans wanted to make this move. They did make the move,

86
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens with him in his playing career.

87
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: As far as the pick, it's reportedly not unbelievable. It's

88
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: nothing to have a parade about, and we'll see what

89
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: they do with that when the time comes. But I'm

90
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: here to see what this d line does. You know,

91
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: because you think about where they've come from from the

92
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: offseason all the way to now, and we're talking about

93
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: merciless gone even earlier on Brandon Donne, who's played a

94
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: lot for this franchise, gone before the season. But part

95
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: of camp a mena who gone. They're getting they're getting

96
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: some pressures, they're getting some things done up front. Grenard

97
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: looks good. I like that this young player has made

98
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: some hay for them. But again, you want to see more.

99
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: You want to see where it goes from here. And

100
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: I think that where we are now with the Texans

101
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: moving forward through the rest of this regular season and

102
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: into the offseason is about twenty twenty two and beyond right,

103
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: this is about getting ready for next year, but it's

104
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: also what can you make of this year? To me,

105
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: it is I mean, I you know, I don't know

106
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: what David Culley and Nick are going to say for

107
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: the rest of this week and this year about it,

108
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: but for me, it's can you make a little run here?

109
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: Can you make it interesting even in the course of

110
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: a game like last week when you were getting blown

111
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: out but you have those three touchdowns? Can you do

112
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: the equivalent of that in a season where you have

113
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: some wins and you make some things happen and you

114
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: can identify even more players that are going to be

115
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: part of the foundation to what you build here moving forward.

116
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: So there's a lot going on there. But yeah, that

117
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: was another move that I thought, Okay, they're definitely shaping

118
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: things up here relative to twenty twenty one, but there's

119
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: a long way to go to build what they really

120
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: want to ultimately get done here. Yeah, it's just one

121
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: step forward, and I think the off season will be

122
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: a really interesting one as far as the draft, once

123
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: all the picks are in and we figure out what

124
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: does happen, Because as far as Deshaun Watson goes, that

125
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: is the trade that did not happen that everybody was

126
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: watching across the league I had. I had the TV

127
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: on NFL Network than ESPN, and it was literally on

128
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: the bottom of every screen. But there was no update,

129
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: which was really frustrating because they show the picture of

130
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and you know, sometimes you don't know. Adam

131
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: Schefter may get some news before anyone else. There was

132
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: no news and we're here in the building, but it's

133
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: not like it sounds like we're standing outside Nick's office, like, Hey,

134
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: anything happening. Do you need some coffee? Can I get

135
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: you something. I did run into him in the service

136
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: level earlier today and I was just looking at him

137
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: like anything to tell me what's going on? You know,

138
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: he's so even keel. I even joked about this with

139
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: it when I said, no one could read his expression ever,

140
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: No way, he's the same, yes, and not that he's

141
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: gonna be wearing it, you know, on his face. What's

142
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: going on? But yeah, it's it's it's very quiet in

143
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: the building and I haven't seen a lot of players

144
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: coming in and out today. So not surprising that Deshaun

145
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: wats I had a feeling mark yesterday that it wasn't

146
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: going to happen because it felt like all that talk

147
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: that we've been hearing the last few weeks, it sort

148
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: of bubbled back down again. Yeah, and so out. You know,

149
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: according to reports, the Dolphins declined the trade. There might

150
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: have been a trade in place. I don't know if

151
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: you've ever know the story, but now you gotta wait,

152
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: you gotta wait until after the season and revisit it.

153
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: And maybe it's the Dolphins, maybe it's another team. Who knows.

154
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: There's so many different First, it goes back to rest,

155
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: it goes back into the basement where it had been

156
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: that entire storyline since camp. It's like the national people

157
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: keep asking about it, and it's funny because for those

158
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: of us that cover the team, we don't really think

159
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: about it unless it's brought up, because it was a

160
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: big story in the offseason, a big story in camp,

161
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: and then you know, for the most part, with Shaun

162
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: notton meetings or at practice or in the building, you

163
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: don't really think about him. He's not really he's not

164
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: part of the game. He's not part of the game plan. Right.

165
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: It only comes up when when there's talk about trades

166
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: or potential trade. Well, it comes up. Yeah, it comes

167
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: up when it comes up, right, It comes up on

168
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: the inactives, it comes up on the injury report, the

169
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: DNP did not practice, And when I see his name,

170
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, yeah, he's still you know, I have

171
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: still mention him. He still on the fifty three man roster,

172
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: which is a weird, weird thing. It's just totally weird.

173
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: But we've gotten used to this weird and I think

174
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: the fans and everyone in the city has just sort

175
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: of come to accept that this is the situation and

176
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: it's going to end up being resolved. We just don't

177
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: know when or how well. I never thought it would

178
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: go this far though, that's the thing. And it's look,

179
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's nobody's fault because you

180
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,559
Speaker 1: can't say that. But you know a couple of things.

181
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: You see reports, right, Oh, in the off season, they

182
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: were offered this, that and the other thing. And I'm like, really,

183
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: are you sure about this, because I've heard three or

184
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: four different packages that they were offered, and everybody swears by,

185
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: oh it's three ones and two twos or three ones

186
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: and three twos or three ones and three three You

187
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: don't know, Okay, you're getting it from somebody. And you

188
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: know when these reporters, even Glazer, when you get something

189
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: from somebody, you're getting what they want you to know,

190
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: what they want to tell the world because they know

191
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: you're going to right. So who knows what the real

192
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: truth is out there as far as if there were offers,

193
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: what they were, all that other stuff, and if ultimately

194
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: these things could have gone through, right, because there might

195
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: have been other contingencies like settlements or whatever else. So

196
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: these are things we don't know now, we might never know,

197
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: but I'm sure there will be a story if it's

198
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: not out already, about what happened in the last few

199
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: days or a couple of weeks, because there are people

200
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: that said this is going to happen, right, right, I mean,

201
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: with with a lot of certainty that this is a

202
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: done deal that's going to happen. But I think you're

203
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: right Mark people there. Sometimes things get floated out into

204
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: the universe to gauge a reaction. This happens a lot

205
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: during the draft, yeah, or you think a team is

206
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: going to take a certain player, But I think they're

207
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: just floating things out there to see or maybe you know,

208
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: maybe they just want to see if that you know,

209
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: moves trade talks along a little bit further that that

210
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: weren't there previously. There's an old saying in sales, right,

211
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: and that's where I got my start in my professional career.

212
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: Sold is one unsold. And you think about that, it's

213
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: totally true, and the great sales managers will tell you that, oh,

214
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: you don't have the signature. It's not even the signature.

215
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: I need the check to clear, not just a check in.

216
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: That check's got a clear. Sold is unsold. So those

217
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: people out there saying, oh, it's likely, it's very likely

218
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: it's ninety five percent. I thought Floria might have put

219
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: a percentage out and I'm not sure, so I don't

220
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: want to get that wrong. But you can't say that.

221
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you're leaving yourself the wiggle room, and when

222
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: you're wrong, you'd be like, mah, I was wrong, you see.

223
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: I mean, just that five percent came through that I

224
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: wasn't right about this. But you know what an upset

225
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: really really? I mean, if you asked me a percentage

226
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: when all this talk was going down, I would say

227
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: flip a coin fifty fifty at best, because you just

228
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: don't know. There's just too much involved here. It's not

229
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: just a straight up player, it's not just a straight

230
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: up NFL transaction. And for those thing can well Stephen

231
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: Ross has to get involved or Cal mcnairn. Yeah, of course,

232
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: everybody wants to know what's going on. It's too big

233
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: a thing with too many moving parts and the legal issues.

234
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to know what's going on. You'd be nuts

235
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: not to think that the highest level of your organization

236
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: is not going to want to be very well informed,

237
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: if not have a direct say in what is happening

238
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: with this football transaction, because it's more than a football transaction.

239
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot attached to it. Yeah, and the funny

240
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: thing is the two teams that are involved in this

241
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: potential trade playing each other this weekend. So I'm having

242
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: the hardest time trying to get a Dolphins reporter on

243
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: the phone with me because I think they were all

244
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: watching this trade deadline as well. Team reporter. The team

245
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: reporters are watching this. I know. I know some folks

246
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: in Miami who work in the regular media. Okay, yeah,

247
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: they've they've been so good not calling me or texting

248
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: me at all during this time. I got a few

249
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: last offseason early I'm like, what do you want me

250
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: to say? I don't know anything, you know, but but

251
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: you know I have friends there. But the last few

252
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: weeks nothing because they know they know I'm not going

253
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: to tell them anything anyway. But now I get to

254
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: see some of my friends down there when the Texans

255
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: play at Miami. And look, we don't go there very often.

256
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: This is a place where I'd like to go a lot.

257
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: And you've been there, you know, South Beach. We went

258
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: out to dinner. When did we go in twenty fifteen? Right,

259
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: the game was forgettable? It was not. I was looking

260
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: forward to this trip before we you know, with before

261
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: we knew what the COVID protocols were going to be.

262
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: I was looking forward to it. I do like going

263
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: to Miami. I'm curious to see that stadium. They've done

264
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: a lot of renovation. They've done a lot of renovation.

265
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: In twenty fifteen they started on much of it, but

266
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: they've gone a long way beyond that since. But they've

267
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: ruined the radio booths. Apparently they put him in the

268
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: corner and low and it's just horrible. But woe is me,

269
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: and no one cares, all right, did other news other

270
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: quarterback news Tyrod Taylor could be activated this week. I

271
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: feel like this is a storyline that has been ongoing

272
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: also for the last several weeks, the Texans having twenty

273
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: one day window to place him on the active roster

274
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: since being designated for return off IR last week. So

275
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: you've already got this week will be seven days gone,

276
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: So we'll have another two weeks to decide if they

277
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: want to activate Tyrod Taylor or not. Collie said, the

278
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: Taylor took some first team reps last week, and we'll

279
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: do the same again this week. Mark, you need to

280
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: translate this because you've got one game. Because I'm doing

281
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: the math here, it's been seven days. You've got the

282
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins game this week. Next week is the buy. So

283
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: next week would be fourteen days. Yeah, and then he

284
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: could possibly be active for the week after the buy.

285
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: But then if he's not, he goes back on. Oh

286
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: that's right, because the window closes. Yeah, that'll be twenty

287
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: one days. Yikes, right, So either he plays this week

288
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: or he plays after old boy. Uh huh. The time

289
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: is the clock is ticking. I have a hard time

290
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: thinking they wouldn't activate him. I don't know, it's hard

291
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: to say. Look, I feel like, but they're still if

292
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: he had been playing, let's say it was healthy enough,

293
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: and they decided, yeah, we got to play him like

294
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: two three weeks ago, you know, playing for three, four

295
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: or five weeks. If they lose all those games, then

296
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: you say, look, we got to see the rookie some more,

297
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: because you gotta at least know what you have in

298
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: this third round draft choice. And is he going to

299
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: be a starter moving into the future or not? Yea,

300
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: And maybe you can't even make an accurate assessment of

301
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: that with the games he plays this year. I don't

302
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: you know. I always go back to Keenham his second year,

303
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: which was basically like a rookie year because he was

304
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: on the practice squad the first year, but he was

305
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: around so he had the full offseason and everything. But

306
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: he had those eight starts on a pretty decent talented

307
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: team that had injuries, but pretty decent team. So he

308
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: had eight starts and went oh for eight as a starter,

309
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: but he played well. They had close games. It wasn't

310
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: like this, Okay, they're getting their doors blown off here,

311
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: which is really tough for Davis and everybody involved. Right,

312
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: and look, I'm not pointing fingers it's just it's not

313
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: working right now offensively for them. They got to figure

314
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: out a way out. Having played some of the defenses

315
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: they've played is no aid to what they have on offense,

316
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: which is three missing lineman, rookie quarterback. We know the

317
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: rest of the story because you played the top four

318
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: defense in the league and the Rams weren't even one

319
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: of them when they played them. And the Rams are

320
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: outstanding and they just added Von Miller. So that's a

321
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: whole other story. So I'm talking in certain not circles here,

322
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: but I'm going off on a tangent here as far

323
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: as Tyrod goes. I was listening to my old station

324
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: WQA him in Miami, right okay, and on the Odyssey app,

325
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: which is also our friends here Sports Video sixteen. You

326
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: can get both. People are listening to us on the

327
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: app right now. Probably the thing is this, Tyrod is

328
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: a dolphin killer. And they pointed this sound like they're like,

329
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: we don't want to see Taylor this week. He's a

330
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: dolphin killer when he was with the Bills, Right, So

331
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, start Tyrod, He's the dolphin killer. As much

332
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: as I want to see Mills continue to improve and develop,

333
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: we'll see how they handle it. Look, I hope Tyrod

334
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: is healthy enough. I think both guys really do need

335
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: to play at some point, but we'll see how they

336
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: do it. I just think you would add a little

337
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: bit of a spark to this offense. I know we've

338
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: talked about that in recent weeks, and and Davis Mills

339
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: is playing well too. He got some things going in

340
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. But you know, maybe he gets Tyrod

341
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: out there and change things up a little bit, change

342
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: the energy a bit. I don't know. I don't We'll

343
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: see what happens. We'll see what happens after a week

344
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: of practice. I feel like every week he's close to playing,

345
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: but then he's not activated. So I feel like it

346
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: could be this week, or it could be after the buy.

347
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: I don't think there are in any rush because they

348
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: want to they want to continue to see Mills, and

349
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: if Tyrod's not one hundred, like one hundred of one

350
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: hundred percent, they feel like, okay, let's just wait until

351
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: he is, and we'll start Mills and at least we'll

352
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: learn about Mills, all right. Another guy eligible to return

353
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: off IR at any point, Laramie Tunsel. He has missed

354
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: the requisite three games, the Texans left tackle is quote

355
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: close to being able to get back. According to David Coley,

356
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: I had kind of forgotten that Laramie Tunsel had already

357
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: missed three games. It seemed like he just went on IR.

358
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: So when I went back, I haven't forgotten. Well, there's

359
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: been so many injuries to the old line, you know,

360
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: it just seems like every week there's another injury. Last week,

361
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: Justin britt went on IR, Marcus Cannon went on IR.

362
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: So it's like hard, it's almost hard to keep track

363
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: of who went on ir Win. First it was Cannon,

364
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: then it was tunseled, then it was Britt. As they

365
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: came out of the gate the Texans, you know, for

366
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: two to three, four, whatever the number of games was.

367
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, the old line's healthy, and you know,

368
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: knock I should have knocked Wood. I spoke too soon,

369
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: because now you have three out of five out with

370
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: Britt on IR and Cannon gone and Laramie out for

371
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: a while. Let's hope Laramie can come back at least

372
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: you get that back. Look, I think Christian does a

373
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: nice job, but you know, I hesitate to say that

374
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: about anybody right now. On offense. The way things are going,

375
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: you know, you have four consecutive three and outs to

376
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: begin the second half last week, a second half in

377
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: which you already down twenty four to nothing. That's just

378
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: not gonna fly. You just can't operate that way. And

379
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: they didn't cook until late. So let's see if they

380
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: can get it going early against the Dolphins on Sunday. Yeah,

381
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: and Mills was sacked five times, which not all of

382
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: it can be placed on the old line. I mean

383
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: said that is Mills and you know, some of those

384
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: outside factors. But still it would be nice to get

385
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: your starting left tackle back. But you know it will

386
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: one player make a difference, I don't know, I mean

387
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: it would it only helped though, all Right, Farrell Brown

388
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: could miss a second straight game. David Cully said, we'll

389
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: just kind of see where he's at this week. Whether

390
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: he plays this week or not, We're not really sure yet.

391
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: We'll take it day to day with him. Now, Farrell

392
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: Brown missing a second straight game, I would be more

393
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: disappointed in this, except Brevin Jordan did some nice things

394
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: last week in his debut, and it felt like they

395
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: were not ready to put him out on the field,

396
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: and they really took their time with putting the rookie

397
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: tight end out of the field, and then when they did,

398
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: he got a touchdown and and he looked good. So

399
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: that screen passed, he almost got a first down, but almost,

400
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: you know, almost, but at least he did something. I

401
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: think Pharaoh him Farrell on that screen pass probably probably

402
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: does get a first down because he's farah and that's

403
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: what he does, carries people with him for an extra

404
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: ten yards. But that's not taken away from Brevin's performance.

405
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: And they're different types of tight ends. You know. Brevin's

406
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: more of the receiver and Pharaoh's a big blocker who

407
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: could also catch. So I don't know how they're going

408
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: to do that. And Brevin returning to South Florida where

409
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: he played with the Hurricanes, I kind of want to

410
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: see that, you know. So I want to see that action.

411
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: I want to see that return to Miami kind of

412
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: thing from him. They're a couple of former knees players

413
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: on the Dolphins roster as well, so I want to

414
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: see that little storyline play out. And again, you know,

415
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: I want to see a win more than anything, but

416
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: these are the other things we look for. Have you

417
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: ever talked to Brevin about Miami. No, I really haven't,

418
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, and if I do, when I do, I will.

419
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: It's funny with some of the other Kings who have

420
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: been through here, even Lamar Miller, right, No, I was

421
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: long gone by the time they got to the University

422
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: of Miami. But I know a lot of the people.

423
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: They know, I mean, the announcers interview all the players,

424
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: right and especially anybody's going to end up in the league.

425
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: So those guys I know well. And the athletic director

426
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: of Miami was like not an intern but not exactly

427
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: a high level employee when I was there, and it's

428
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: been great to see a move up. So it's just

429
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: kind of cool to see what's happened there. It's been

430
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: twenty years, you know, it's twenty years ago that I

431
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: called that national championship season in South Florida. So here

432
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: I am. I'm coming back, never mind the team, I'm

433
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: coming back to South Florida, folks. Twenty it's the twentieth

434
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: reunion of Mark Vandermer back in. It's hard for me

435
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: to believe that you lived in Miami. Like when I

436
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 1: go to Miami and I look around like you were

437
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: here and then you left here. I mean no offense

438
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: to Houston. Houston's great, but it's surreal to me because

439
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: I lived in Massachusetts before that, right, and then you

440
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: move and you go down and I lived in bal Harbor,

441
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: but I found a building that was actually affordable there

442
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 1: right on the beach, and I was between marriages, so

443
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: it all worked out for me deep and I lived

444
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: at a place called how Convenia bree to be on

445
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: South Beach in between Mary. Yeah. Yeah, it was great,

446
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: and it was it was actually north of North Beach.

447
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: But you know, Bal Harbors unbelievable. I didn't deserve to

448
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: be there. But I lived in a building called Harbor House.

449
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: And if you've ever seen the documentary which is really watchable,

450
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: it's fun to watch, called The Cocaine Cowboys, and it

451
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: was made by the guy who made The Hurricanes thirty

452
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: for thirty. Anyway, it's it's gotten a lot of play

453
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: and it's on Netflix or one of the streaming services

454
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: right now. But they have the building Harbor House in

455
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: that documentary, and they used to station somebody up on

456
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: now it was long gone by the time I was there,

457
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: somebody in the top floor with binoculars to see the

458
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: Coastguard boats so they could see when they would they

459
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: would bring the shipment into the inlet. Yeah, so there's

460
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: all this intrigue going on there years before I lived there,

461
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: and I thought, jeez, by the time I lived there,

462
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: it was just a boring old building on the beach,

463
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: nothing boring about it was great to be on the beach.

464
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: But anyway, Yeah, it's surreal that I lived there. But

465
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what coming here. You know, since you

466
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: brought it up. It's Miami's phenomenal. Right, It's a great

467
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 1: place to visit. It's not the greatest place to live

468
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: or raise a family necessarily, right, but it's fun to visit,

469
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: and it's fun to live there when you're single or

470
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, just you know, double income people or whatever

471
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: the case may be. You know, I met Karen there.

472
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: It was a tremendous place to be. But the chance

473
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: to be here in Houston and be part of this

474
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: NFL thing and the ground floor opportunity to be the

475
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: boys of the Texans and the first guy in and

476
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm still here and I want to be the only

477
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: guy here ever until you know, whenever that happens, until

478
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: they wheel me out of here, when I'm eighty five,

479
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: like Marlow, we'll see what We'll see what happens. But

480
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: the chance to do that it was just too much

481
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: to pass up. Anyway, I didn't mean to make it

482
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: about me, but I just did. Thank you. No, I mean,

483
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: it's Miami Week. I felt like it should be a

484
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: little bit about you. I went. I went to Miami

485
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: a few years ago before COVID on a girls trip,

486
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: and I thought, as much as as intriguing as Miami

487
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 1: was to me, I don't think I could live there either.

488
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: I see your point. Everything starts super late. Yeah. I

489
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: think people in Texas are just so friendly. We're spoiled.

490
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: Houston is the best. It's laid back. Great. It's like

491
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: it's fancy, but it could be laid back. It's livable.

492
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: It could be fast paced, but it could be slow paced.

493
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: You there's there's like a setting for whatever speed you

494
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: want to live. The quality of life here is tremendous

495
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: and you have to appreciate it. There's this is the

496
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: best place to live. It really is. It's hard to

497
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: describe to outsiders who visit because they're like, well, what's

498
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: what's so great about what? You have to understand it

499
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,719
Speaker 1: you have to live here to really appreciate it and

500
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: understand it. But I have so many friends that have

501
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: moved from other parts of the country, from like California,

502
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: from really New York cool places, and they come here

503
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: and they think, I'm going to be here for a

504
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: few years, I'm gonna make some money, and then I'll leave.

505
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: And then they never leave, right because it's like you

506
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: realize that when you get past the fact that it's

507
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: flat right and there's it's not like you know, it's

508
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: not like the Bay Area. It's not like beauty everywhere

509
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: you look, per se, but it is. But it is

510
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: a fun place to live. I mean, there's a lot

511
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: to do. It's so diverse, it's it has everything. And

512
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: the weather. Look, I know it's too hot in the summer,

513
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: and for a lot of people, I don't care. I

514
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: love it and the winter I'll take it every day,

515
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: except for last year's deep freeze. Ever, again, nobody wanted that.

516
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: You're not the only one. I'm from the Midwest, and

517
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: even I was appalled that we had ice and snow

518
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: and no water for a week. But anyway, we why

519
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: did we? I don't even want to think about that.

520
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: I'd much rather have the heat in the summer. All right,

521
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: let's take a break. We come back, we'll go through

522
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: some of the trades across the league. We'll look at

523
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and some bright spots for this Texans team,

524
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: because now we know who the team is. We know

525
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: what players are here, what players are gone. We know,

526
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: so we'll look at that. It's all coming up next

558
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: go back to Texans All Access. It's Week nine. Texans

559
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: are headed to Miami to face the Dolphins. Both teams

560
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: have lost seven in a row after they won their

561
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: first shame. Both of them lost their quarterback in Week

562
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: two to injury, although to a tongue of Iloa is

563
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: back in the lineup now. Both teams near the bottom

564
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: of the league and offensive and defensive statistics. It's been

565
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: a rough year for both these teams, but Miami intriguingly enough,

566
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone predicted them to be this bad

567
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: this year, this early. However, the Texans, some people thought

568
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: the record would not be that good. I know where

569
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: you're going with this, But the Texans, it's like there

570
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: was a lot of change from last year this year.

571
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: With the Dolphins, it's still Brian Flores. It's still to

572
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: a tongue of Iloah, right, I mean, it's tah in

573
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: his second year, and let's go he should be better,

574
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: because yeah, he looked he looked pretty good last year

575
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: in his debut. So a very strange year for the Dolphins.

576
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: A lot of people pegged them to even win or

577
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: challenge the Buffalo Bills in that division and now they're

578
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,239
Speaker 1: at the bottom. Well yeah, and they're not happy. Like

579
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: I mentioned, I was listening to my old station and

580
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: they are the flagship w QAM, so they are just

581
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: freaking out over what happened. Think about this, dB. The

582
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins had such success under Don Shula. I mean, this

583
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: is how the market was raised on professional football with Shula.

584
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: And I want to get this right. I'm looking at

585
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: it right now. He had zero losing seasons. I want

586
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: you to digest that for a moment, zero losing seasons.

587
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: He's the winningest coach in NFL history. And even though

588
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: it wasn't going great at the end for him, okay,

589
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: because they made the move and they went to Jimmy

590
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: Johnson Shula's last few years, but they weren't bad eleven

591
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: at five, nine and seven, ten and six. But look,

592
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: he lost an AFC Championship game in ninety two to

593
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: the Bills. He lost divisional round in ninety four, lost

594
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: a wild card in ninety five. Oh, it's just not working, Don,

595
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: It's just not working. They would love that kind of

596
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: failure right now, to be nine in seven and losing

597
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: the wildcard round because they just don't have well, you

598
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: can't be nine in seven anymore. But you get my drift.

599
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 1: They have not had that kind of success. Now. Jimmy

600
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: Johnson built that team up very nicely roster wise. He

601
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: had Dave Wantstet replace them. They would still go to

602
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but they just couldn't crack through and get

603
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: even to a championship game. Sound a little bit familiar, right,

604
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: But then they go on this binge of losing and

605
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 1: they had a winning season in two thousand and eight.

606
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: Let's see, not another one till two and sixteen. They

607
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: go ten years almost without winning seasons, and then since

608
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Last year was their first winning campaign and

609
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: they didn't make the playoffs with it wasn't good enough.

610
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: They lost a game at the end of the year

611
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: when Fitzy couldn't play. Remember if fitz he had the

612
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: wild play against the Raiders on the road. Fitzy couldn't

613
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: play in the finale, he was concussed or something, and

614
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: then to a play. They couldn't get over the hump

615
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: and win that one. And now here there are at

616
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: one and seven, so they're freaking out and with two

617
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: all the Watson talk in South Florida, right. It has

618
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: to get to him, clearly. It's something that Florence doesn't

619
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: want to have to deal with as a head coach

620
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: every single week, people asking him really calculated questions about

621
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: possible trades for a cornerback that was going to replace

622
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: the Rather, You've got a coach right now whose confidence

623
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: might be I don't know where it is, but I

624
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, just be speculating there. It's been a rough

625
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: go for them, so this is an opportunity. But they're

626
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: pretty good. They were right in the game with the

627
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: Bills on the road last week. It just kind of

628
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: blew it in the second half, just didn't make the

629
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: plays and it just didn't work out for them. I mean,

630
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: even though this Watson thing did not go through for Miami,

631
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: what happens to to his confidence now? And where does

632
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: he stand after the end of the season. I don't

633
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen with him because and what

634
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: would have happened to him if there was a trade made?

635
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: Right there was a report or a rumor or something

636
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: that they were trying to trade him to Denver for

637
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: a two. This is like two weeks ago or something

638
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: like that. Trade Ta to Denver and look at again.

639
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: He might be rumors, unsubstantiated, whatever, but just it would

640
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: make sense that they would try to move him if

641
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: they were going to bring another quarterback in. You know

642
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: of Watson's stature, Watson in particular, but who knows. I

643
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: don't know what they're gonna do with him. They drafted

644
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: him high. Remember tank for Tua the year before last

645
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: when they went five. They blew it. They went five

646
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: and eleven, so they couldn't pick as early as they wanted, right,

647
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: they couldn't, you know, they couldn't get the number one

648
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: overall pick, but they went ahead and got Tua. So

649
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: and how's Tua working out? Not as well as they wanted?

650
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: Now it's still early. You know, you throw out the

651
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: baby with the bathwater sometimes with these guys because they

652
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: drafted Ryan Tannehill once upon a time, and look how

653
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: good he is now now, Derek Henry. I don't think

654
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: that really makes them feel better that two of some

655
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: great things with the Tennessee art. I'm looking at to

656
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: his stats so far this year. So he is seven touchdowns,

657
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: five interceptions, sixty five point six completion rate zack seven

658
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: times eighty six rating. They can't push the ball down field.

659
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: It's not it's it's it's average. I mean, looking at

660
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: their record with the see they had that blow out

661
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: lost in the Bills in week two, thirty five to nothing. Yeah,

662
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: they haven't really lost it. He got hurt too, He

663
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: had the rib injury. Show the ribb injury. And then

664
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: they lost those back to back games against Jacksonville and

665
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: the Falcons with a late field goal that Jacksonville get.

666
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean that was Jacksonville's only when it broke their

667
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: losing streak. I mean, they could have just as easily

668
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: won that game, you know, and last week make a

669
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: player two, you might beat the Bills. Look, they're right there.

670
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: I can't say the Texans are right there. I think

671
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: the Texans competition has been tougher except for Buffalo, but

672
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: overall it's been tougher than what the Dolphins have faced.

673
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: So we'll see how it works out for them. Man

674
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: Tannehill in Miami. Check this out his records when you go, well,

675
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, he got the start. But oh yeah, all right,

676
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: so twenty twelve, seven and nine, eight and eight, eight

677
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: and eight, six and ten, ten and six. Look those

678
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: aren't great, but compared to one and seven eight, and

679
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: they looks pretty damn good, right, So if they may

680
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,479
Speaker 1: have things are evaluated. They gave him a lot more

681
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: chances too. Tannehill had so many chances. I mean, I

682
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: think with two it's a year two. Annie was hurt

683
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: early on and they're ready to move on from him. Yeah,

684
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: it seems kind of fast. And look at all the

685
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: injuries they've had to wide receivers. I mean, we know

686
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: Will Fuller, we've here's another similarity. I know, being frustrated

687
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: with the will Fuller injury situation. Now it's now Miami's

688
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: dealing with it. He's on ir I think he didn't

689
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: play the first two games, another source of frustration. Okay,

690
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: So they trade Laramie to the Texans to get two ones.

691
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: They also got a two, right, they get two ones

692
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: at a two, and they looked like geniuses at Yeah,

693
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean all these picks, they signed free agents, they

694
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: had a draft bounty and everything, and here they are

695
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: one at seven. So Joe Rose, who hosts a morning

696
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: show in Miami, was saying this morning, he said, well,

697
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm hearing that there and this. He said this on

698
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: the air, So I'm not like you know, revealing anything

699
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: that sometimes a personnel people point to the coaches and

700
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: not Greer and Flora's necessarily about people behind the scenes

701
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: say they got a coaching better because these guys are good,

702
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: and the coaches say, we need better players. So that's

703
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: probably a familiar song and a lot of stadiums, a

704
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: lot of organizations where it's just not working out, especially

705
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: with them where they're supposed to be set up here

706
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: to do well after going ten at six last year,

707
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: major major crushing blow so far through eight games for

708
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and they're looking to get well. You know,

709
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: they see the Texans and they're gonna have the Jets

710
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: down the road, down the road, and they've got a

711
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: bunch of home games, like I think five out of

712
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: seven coming up here. So they want to make some

713
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: noise right now. Not that they're entertaining Super Bowl thoughts

714
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: or anything, but they certainly want to turn it around.

715
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: And we'll see if we can make them miserable on Sunday,

716
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: because I would love that. Yeah. But I mean both

717
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,479
Speaker 1: of these teams that the Dolphins and the Texans are

718
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: struggling to score points per game, yards per game offensively

719
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: and defensively, but you know, this is the first team

720
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: the Texans have faced that's that has a record like this.

721
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like the last few weeks. I mean,

722
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: the Colts were not super hot when the Texans face them,

723
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: but they did face them on the road. But all

724
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: the Rams, the Bills defense, this team has faced a

725
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: lot of tough defenses. I'm not making any excuses, but

726
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like this team is maybe more

727
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: on par as far as what the record shows. So

728
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see if the Texans can right their

729
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: wrongs with a game like this, but it is on

730
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 1: the road. Speaking of the Colts, why can't we play

731
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: the Colts where Carson went to shovel pass picks sixes

732
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: and like, well, no, he had he had a ridiculous

733
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: shovel pass against the forty nine ers, but they won

734
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, And last week he had that left

735
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: handed pick six at the at his goal line, unbelievable

736
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: and they almost won that game. Do you think they

737
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: bench him at some point this season so they can

738
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: keep their draft pick if they know they're going to

739
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: be out of the playoffs, or do you think that

740
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: they hold your best chance to win is still him

741
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: because he makes enough plays to make you say, oh boy,

742
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: we got to play him. But then you're like, don't

743
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: do that, you know, but you know who's on the

744
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: hot seat. Carson Wentz is on the hot seat, but

745
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: Frank Reich is on the hot seat from no play

746
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: calling because why did they not run the ball? Why

747
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: did Why was Carson Wentz passing it in that situation

748
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: at the end of the game before he threw the interception?

749
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: O time about why not have Jonathan Taylor just run

750
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: it in? Uh? Well, no, I'm talking about his goal line.

751
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: So he they were pinned back and he threw the

752
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: left handed pass that was pick six, and then in

753
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: overtime they were still in their end when he threw

754
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: the one that gave the Titans the ball and they

755
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 1: eventually kicked it with Randy Bullock. There's so many former

756
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: Texas around the league, and it just drives me. Which

757
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: interception am I thinking? Yeah, exactly, he has, he has

758
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: a few to pick, but against the Texas, he looked perfect,

759
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: you know, So that was really tough to digest. But

760
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: you're right about the Dolphins here, and I just think

761
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: that somehow, some way, I say it every week, you

762
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: know that these d linemen. They didn't get the Stafford,

763
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: but they've gotten to just about everybody else at least

764
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: once or twice, and maybe more so Tua. I think

765
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: you can get to him. They have a very deliberate

766
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: short to intermediate passing game. But you got to find

767
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: a way. And you know, doctor vanderm Now, doctor Vandermer

768
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: is the medical guy. So Professor Vandermer has been watching

769
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: tape and I think that twas stares it down a

770
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: little bit too much. Coach Vandermer. Yeah, but I'm a

771
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: professor here because I'm not really coaching, So there you're

772
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: kind of acting like yeah, coach. Coach Vandermer says, okay, well,

773
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 1: you know what, John and Grenard, He's got four games

774
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: consecutive with a sack. He's got seven sacks for the season.

775
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see. I think we talked about bright

776
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: spots heading into this game. I think Reben Jordan's one

777
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: of them, and obviously John Grenard. He has just been

778
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: a star in these last few weeks. I mean, I know,

779
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: for take the outcome out of the game, but he

780
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: gets after it every single week and he's making some

781
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: place he does. He's tied for seventh in the NFL overall,

782
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: and he's the youngest or he's the only he's first

783
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: among players that are twenty four and younger, which is

784
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: a very odd stat but I like too. I like

785
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 1: to say it. Rookie contract entering year three next year,

786
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: let's go. But let's have a great finish to twenty

787
00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: twenty one. He's having a nice, nice campaign here. I

788
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: like what Blacklock's doing. When you talk about last year's rookies,

789
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: that's really refreshing to see. Hard to evaluate Charlie hack. Look,

790
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line was overwhelmed in the last game against

791
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: the Rams. You know, let's let's get some positive production. Okay,

792
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 1: positive yardage first half, moved forward, please into the end zone.

793
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: Do you think we see more of Scottie Phillips this

794
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 1: week than we did last week? It was his first

795
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: game active. We saw a lot more of Rex Burkhead,

796
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: which I think anyone really predicted. But Rex has also

797
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: had a lot of experience with the Dolphins. Do you

798
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: think it's another another day of more Rex or to

799
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: do they change things up? I think possibly. I think

800
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: a lot of it depends on Taylor versus Mills. Who's

801
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 1: gonna play. Maybe not a lot of it, but maybe

802
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: some of it, because I feel like Rex Burkhead, is

803
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: he really part of your future? You know, he's definitely

804
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: part of your present. But Scottie Phillips, and look, a

805
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: lot of people want to see Scottie. I think you

806
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: will see a lot of Scotti in the second half

807
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: of this year, and maybe with an odd number of games.

808
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: Let's just call this the second half of the timing,

809
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: or maybe it's that's after the buy. But they will

810
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: get a good look at Scottie Phillips this year, right,

811
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: It's a question that comes up every week on the

812
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 1: pregame show. I think they will, But the problem is

813
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: they just haven't sustained anything on offense. You know, you

814
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: have to have the ball for like a ten play

815
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: drive and get a few carries in there, and he

816
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 1: has to produce during those carries, you know, without it's

817
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 1: like three and out, three and out, all right, get

818
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: the next back in here. It's not his fault, it

819
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: just happens that way. So let's see if they can

820
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: make an adjustment and get anybody, anybody rolling in that

821
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 1: ground game producing. The Texans were four of twelve on

822
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: third down against the Rims. You know what the Rams

823
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: were in third down efficiency four of eleven. Yeah, I know,

824
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: but they were getting all their first deal Yeah, first

825
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: they were, they were. They had some drives where it

826
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: was like they didn't have to go to third down,

827
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: right they look at the first drive they had what

828
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: fifteen yards? Ten yards? Another big chunk that I thought,

829
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, is it going to be this kind

830
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: of every seemed like, well they have they they had

831
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: twenty six first downs. I mean, I'm not trying to

832
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: say they weren't getting first downs, but their third down efficiency,

833
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. I just thought it was the Texans were

834
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: one for five in the first half. I believe in

835
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: third downs, So that tells you something right there. All right,

836
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: well let's take a break, we come back. We'll go

837
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,640

Speaker 1: and picked off by Reid and he's gonna score. And

850
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: you're listening to the Texans Radio one final segment of

851
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. It's the trade deadline and it's over.

852
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: But now we go around the NFL. Mark DP, we

853
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: are back with you again, and Mark, we were talking

854
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: about this trade deadline sort of coming and going, and

855
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 1: I think the big news really just happened yesterday with

856
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 1: von Miller. Yeah, and that trade to the Rams. Very

857
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: happy that the Texans already played the Rams because they

858
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: seem like, oh boy, they're all in now. I felt

859
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: like when it started like that, we'd see a lot

860
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: more trades. But you know, the most active team today

861
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. They acquired Melvin Ingram from the

862
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: Steelers and then they sent their offensive lineman Laurent Duverney

863
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: Tardif to the New York Jets for tight end Dan Brown. Yeah,

864
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: they set the doctor away. That was big COVID doctor.

865
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: He opted out last year. They did what they did.

866
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: They got to a Super Bowl, and now that was shaky.

867
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: Last night I watched that game with the Giants. The

868
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,760
Speaker 1: Giants could have, would have should it in so many

869
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: ways beat the Kansas City Chiefs, who are making a

870
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: lot of self inflicted wounds. Really, I mean, Mahomes, it

871
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: just doesn't look right. It looks out of sync right now,

872
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it's him. The receivers, the

873
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 1: whole thing, the offensive line not doing what they need

874
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: to do. The turnovers are really alarming for their cause.

875
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: But I was rooting for the Giants big time. Go Giants.

876
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: I honestly, the Chiefs lose and be miserable. So yeah,

877
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: they made those moves today. But they're four and four.

878
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: They're not out of it by any stretch. They can

879
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: get it going at any time, and I expect them too,

880
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: because they do have that quarterback, and that's the start

881
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: of it. If you have a guy like that, you

882
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: have an MVP, you can get it rolling. Once they

883
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: get it rolling, I mean once they get hot, it's

884
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: for them. But when they're playing the really good teams

885
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: in the postseason or down the stretch here, because I

886
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: know their schedule, I don't have it in front of me,

887
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: it does get tougher. Okay, so that could be a

888
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: factor for them when they're playing the really good teams.

889
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: This could be a factor. They're not going to have

890
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: that home field in the postseason. Maybe this year. Although

891
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: as I say that, who's going to threaten them out West?

892
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: Is it the Raiders? And oh, my gosh, what a

893
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:11,439
Speaker 1: tragedy with Henry rodsh my gosh. And then you look

894
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: at the Chargers and what is going on with them?

895
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 1: You know, I know the Patriots are a solid team.

896
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call them a great team. They're good team

897
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,439
Speaker 1: and they've got a good defense. But they go out

898
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: West and they beat the Chargers and the Chargers, you've

899
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: you already beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead. You're supposed to

900
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: threaten them in the division. What are you doing losing

901
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: these games? They look shaky all of a sudden, Herbert,

902
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: some of those throws, Wait where was that one going?

903
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's kind of the I don't

904
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: want to call it the dog days of the season.

905
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: I don't think the NFL really has a dog days,

906
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: but it is true. Bill o'bron was always right about this.

907
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 1: What you do Thanksgiving and beyond is I don't want

908
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: to say all that matters, You've got to be set

909
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 1: up for it, but that run that you need to

910
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: go on there, that's that's going to determine your season.

911
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: If you don't play well during that stretch from Thanksgiving

912
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: to the end of the regular season, you're dead. So

913
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: let's see if the Chiefs and Chargers or whoever else

914
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: could wake up at that time. I just don't see

915
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs not being able to turn things around. I mean,

916
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: look at their division. You mentioned it, Herbert and the Chargers,

917
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: and then everything that's happened with the Raiders. I mean,

918
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: they were set up for success this year. They've had

919
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: one tragedy and one major thing happened after another. You

920
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: mentioned Henry Ruggs today. I mean, I just don't know

921
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: how that locker room is. Even after a few weeks

922
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: ago when John Gruden stepped down, or you know, with

923
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: all the emails, I thought, how are they going to

924
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: turn around and win games? They kept it together but

925
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: I mean, after a while, you just think. I think

926
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: they could. Though it's a lot of stuff happening, even

927
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: with the rugs, DUI and the fatality, I think that

928
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: they could stick together. I don't want to be like

929
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: this might even galvanize them more, but it might. It

930
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 1: might bring them together even more. And they were able

931
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: to hold it together and play at a high level.

932
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: And it's all about Derek Carr being able to really

933
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: execute and at times he looks unbelievably great. At other

934
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: times it's like, but I like Derek. You know this,

935
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: we know the history. Yeah, so I pull for him,

936
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: and you know I do pull for the Cars. You know,

937
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to see the Raiders do better than

938
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: the Texans, but you know, right now they are where

939
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: they are, So go Derek, all right. Dereck Henry another Derek,

940
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 1: he's out of foot surgery, expected to be out six

941
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: to ten weeks. And Adrian Peterson, who played sixteen games

942
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty with the Lions. He is now on

943
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: the practice squad. And I know, Mark, you have been

944
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: very vocal about the fact that you think Derrick Henry

945
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: should be the MVP of the league. And now that

946
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 1: he's out. Yeah, I think this will prove your point.

947
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: How valuable is he to that Titan team. I think

948
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson can help a team probably, He's probably an

949
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: outstanding shape, but not to the extent that they need

950
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,720
Speaker 1: help with Derek Henry. God, I mean, that cannot happen.

951
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 1: You know that's not going to happen. He's not coming

952
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: in and being Derek Henry. And he'll be the first

953
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: to tell you. It's going to be running back by committee.

954
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: They've got. They just resigned Deonta Foreman to the practice

955
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: squad as well, so there's no one. There's no other

956
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. There's no Derek miniature Derrick Henry waiting in

957
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: the wings for them. They're gonna have to make it work.

958
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: They'll have to piece meal until he comes back, which,

959
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,279
Speaker 1: by the way, a broken toe, I mean six to

960
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: what do they what do I say six to ten weeks?

961
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's got to be ten weeks.

962
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 1: It's a bone. But what do I know? These players

963
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: come back much quicker. Yeah, Doctor doctor me says he's

964
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 1: gonna be in a walking If there's rehab involved, Henry's

965
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: gonna do it as well as anybody possibly could. He

966
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: works his butt off. I know it's a bone. You

967
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: got a lot of heel. Some people heal faster than others.

968
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: But there's also the stretching and the bending and the

969
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: inflection of whatever they do, they stretching them. And on

970
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: that note, that's gonna do it for Texans All Access.
