Dan, 24 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: it's great to see you once again here at the reception. 25 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: You are a Texas grid Iron legend. You were inducted 26 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: in the class years ago. 27 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 3: Years ago, Yeah, when they I think when they first started. 28 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 3: But no, it's it's great to be here. It's good 29 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 3: to see everybody and see you and and you know, 30 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 3: talk about old stories and having some good food. 31 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: Well, we could talk some old stories and we will, 32 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: but I want to talk about concussions because you're vaguely 33 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: familiar with this phenomenon because of concussions, because of concussions. 34 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: But they're doing the right thing to we're doing better 35 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: things now, right absolutely. I mean, I just give us 36 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: a little example of what it might be like and 37 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: what happened to you and others, because you guys, the 38 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: diagnosis process wasn't exactly state. 39 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 4: Of the yard now compared to today. 40 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 3: No, you know, and when you got your bell rung 41 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 3: and if you didn't get right back in there, you 42 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 3: were kind of a woos So your manhood was always 43 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 3: challenged by your teammates. But you know, I think the 44 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 3: protocol is. I don't know what the exact protocol is, 45 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 3: but whatever they're doing to delay a player to play 46 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 3: until he's ready to play. I saw when CJ got 47 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 3: hit and how his head hit the ground. Is said, man, 48 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 3: that's not good, and you know he's been held out 49 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 3: for a couple of games. I think that's good. This 50 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 3: kid is special. And I've said this from day one. 51 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 4: I like him. 52 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 3: I like his leadership, I like his quality of life 53 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 3: is how he lives his life and how he leads 54 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 3: on the field, but what he does as a player, 55 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 3: the guy's got the best release I've ever seen any quarterback. 56 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 3: And I've been around a while since I played, since 57 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 3: I was my stars before me that I in awe 58 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 3: of growing up. 59 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 4: This kid's special. 60 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 3: And he's a once in a decade or once in 61 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 3: a millennium player, and he will be in the Hall 62 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 3: of Fame. I guarantee you pending he stays healthy. But 63 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 3: you know, right now, it's kind of tough to go 64 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 3: out there and play, and it's frustrating to see the 65 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 3: Texans lose a game last week and you felt that 66 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 3: they should have won, but they got a lot of 67 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 3: injuries and Unfortunately, this game is very violent and you 68 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: still have the injuries, and that's what kind of concerns 69 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 3: me about. They need to get the protection up front 70 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: to keep this kid on his feet, and you keep 71 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 3: him there, You're going to have a lot of great years. 72 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 3: And I think that the Texans are going to have 73 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: great years from here on if they don't. 74 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, people don't get hurt like they. 75 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 3: Are, right, Well, get some depth, get some depth and 76 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: take care of that guy. 77 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: Don't want to ask you something about the release though. 78 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: One second you mentioned the release and how good it is. 79 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: Can you describe why you think it's so good? Because 80 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: I have trouble verbalizing it. 81 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: It just comes out so effortlessly. 82 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 4: At the ball, there's no wasted motion. 83 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 3: I mean from his feet to his shoulder, to his 84 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: hands to his hips, everything is in It's like poetry 85 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 3: in motion. That's that's the most fluid throwing motion I've 86 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 3: ever seen. 87 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: Wow, there must be. 88 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 5: Something about Californians playing a quarterback in the city of Houston. 89 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 5: I mean, that's worked out. It worked out with you, 90 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 5: hopefully works out with seven number. 91 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 2: That is a good number. 92 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, thank God to Kymie Fairbarn for giving 93 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 5: it up to make sure that that he gave that 94 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 5: to CJ. At that point, you've been through that process, 95 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 5: You've been a rookie, Dan. Seeing his success as a rookie, 96 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 5: was that shocking because you know what rookies go through, 97 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 5: you know that process of oh my gosh, I'm in 98 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 5: the NFL, I'm seeing NFL defenses. There aren't a lot 99 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 5: of rookies that succeed at the level that CJ's succeeding. 100 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 5: Was it surprising to see him have this type of success? 101 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 5: I know, obviously the concussions lately, I get that, But 102 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 5: before the injury, was it surprising to see the success 103 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 5: he was having as a young quarterback because it felt 104 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 5: like everybody was just playing. He was playing such a 105 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 5: high level from everybody else, like you have thought they 106 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 5: were all rookies and he was the veteran. Is it 107 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 5: surprising that he's had the success he's had as a rookie. 108 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 4: In a way yes, and in a way no. 109 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: Again, I go back to his leadership and his his 110 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 3: wanting to play, his will to play, and his desire 111 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 3: to play, and you know the way he practices. I've 112 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 3: never I haven't been over to any practice that I'd 113 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 3: love to go over there sometime and watch, but you know, 114 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 3: I just see the kid play. But the leadership qualities 115 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 3: and plus the fact that the type of football they're 116 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: playing in the college level now is very similar to 117 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 3: what they carry over to the pros. 118 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 4: The pros, the old pros have. 119 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: Learned a lot from the college game because a lot 120 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 3: of the college coaches go back and or pro coaches 121 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 3: go back and coach college and vice versa. But it's 122 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 3: it's an easier transition for him because they were more 123 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 3: similar to the systems that they were growing up with. 124 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 3: The defenses they see are not going to change that much. Again, 125 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 3: you can only cover so many areas of the field, 126 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 3: and the difference is the quality of players at each position. Now, 127 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, that window of opportunity shrinks. You know, 128 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: in high school it's about like this, and colleges like this. Well, 129 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 3: in the pros it's like this, and you better anticipate. 130 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: And he's just got that vision, that third eye that 131 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 3: enables that anticipation, and the mind takes over the arm 132 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 3: and the ball follows through it and it's just it's 133 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 3: poetry to watch. I mean, for crying out loud, the 134 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 3: guy was leading the league. And there's a lot of 135 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 3: pros out there that have been around for ten fifteen years. 136 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 3: They can't keep up with this kid, and he's kind 137 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 3: of showing he's teaching them all. 138 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 4: Hey, you know, this is my way of playing. 139 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 3: You're going to see a lot of changes in the 140 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 3: game because of him. 141 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: Wow, Dan PASTOREDI joining us. He's a Texas gridiron legend. 142 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: We're at the chairman's reception for the Taxak Texas Bowl, 143 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: which is tomorrow eight o'clock. Texas A and M and 144 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State coaching matters Tamiko Ryans. What is your observation 145 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: on what impact he's had this whole thing. 146 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 3: I was excited when they announced him the head coach. 147 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 3: I said, this is going to be a big change. 148 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 3: And he was a player. He's young enough to relate 149 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 3: to the players. Now, you know, you don't have some 150 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 3: old guys standing up like me standing up and telling 151 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 3: these guys how it used to be in the old days. 152 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,239 Speaker 3: This guy transitions from the game and goes right into coaching. 153 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: And now he's a head coach, and you know, young 154 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 3: head coach, and I like I like his play, I 155 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 3: like his philosophy, I like the way he leads his team, 156 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: and I like how he encourages and he teaches, and 157 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 3: he he's got that that teaching ability to not only 158 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 3: make him a greater player, but make him a better man. 159 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 3: And that's important. That's the quality of that he brings. 160 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: And there's a lot of pride going around the city 161 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 3: now and I see, you know, we were here when 162 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 3: it was a very proud time back in the lovely 163 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 3: blue days, and I see that same infection going through 164 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 3: the city and it's a it's a nice it's a 165 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 3: nice feeling and it's a nice thing to see and 166 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 3: I'm anxious to see how it comes the how it 167 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 3: comes out. 168 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 4: I hope I'm around long enough. 169 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 5: Dan Texans in the playoff race now. The last three 170 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 5: years we have not been. 171 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 4: That's been clear. 172 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 5: How important is it for a team that's still relatively young, 173 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 5: a lot of rookies that have played. 174 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 4: A lot for the Texans this year. 175 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 5: How important is it for them to just get in 176 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 5: the playoffs and even playing in the playoffs, But these 177 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 5: next two games are absolutely massive, They're almost like playoff games. 178 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 5: But how big a deal is it for them to 179 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 5: get into playoffs? To help them for future years. Hey, 180 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 5: we've been there, We've done this. How much did it 181 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 5: help you when you guys first got into playoffs? To 182 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 5: help you guys in successive years. 183 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 3: Well, we were not expected to make the playoffs, and 184 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 3: then we just when we finally made the playoffs, it 185 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 3: was like, okay, we're here. Now, let's focus and let's 186 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 3: show them what we can do. Right, And you take 187 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 3: a whole different attitude. You take a whole different attitude 188 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 3: of belonging. You don't feel like, Okay, we just squeaked 189 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,239 Speaker 3: in because we're a wildcard team. We made the playoffs, 190 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 3: we survived the season, we survived injuries, we still had 191 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 3: to play through injuries. 192 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 6: Uh. 193 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 3: And it's just it's a growing process. But it's something 194 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 3: you learn to get used to. And they're getting used 195 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 3: to that winning attitude now. And that's if you make 196 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 3: the playoffs, it's a different it's a different season, you know, 197 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 3: and they have If you make it, that's great. It's 198 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 3: a great building block. And I think if they do, fine, 199 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 3: but if they don't, they're going to be all right. 200 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 3: And they have everything stacked against them right now because 201 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 3: of injuries. But if they can overcome that, and who 202 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 3: knows what's going to happen in the next couple of weeks. 203 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: If you get the quarterback back, anything's possible as well. 204 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: But what was it like when when you did start 205 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: to believe, Because when you first made it the ramp 206 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: up to actually. 207 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 2: Making it that campaign. 208 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: Can you take us through some of the feelings as 209 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: you started to get some success in thinking, hey, this 210 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: is all possible. 211 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 3: Well, you know, it was always fascinating to see the pixtures, 212 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 3: you know, pick you as a three point underdog or 213 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,599 Speaker 3: five point whatever it was. I how the hell do 214 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 3: those guys figure that stuff? I mean, come on, we're 215 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 3: out here draining again. They never see us practice, you know, 216 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: How the hell do they know what I'm feeling and 217 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: what I'm thinking? You know, But you know, it's funny 218 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 3: how it works out that way. But you know, analytics 219 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 3: are one thing, But you know, it's just an attitude. 220 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 3: They've got to get that attitude. And once you develop 221 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 3: it and you get the people around you believe in, 222 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 3: you know, it's it's just takes flight. It's something that 223 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 3: you can't put your finger on. But once they're getting 224 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 3: a taste of it, the whole city's getting a taste 225 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 3: of it again. But they're getting a taste of it, 226 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 3: and this is something that's new to them. They've never 227 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 3: been in this position before, and they're they'll be all right, 228 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 3: you know, if they don't make it. I'm not concerned 229 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 3: about that. I'm concerned about keeping CJ healthy, getting the 230 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 3: players back that need to be back healthy, and then 231 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 3: anything can happen in the next month or two. You know, 232 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 3: you can still heal in that particular time. And if 233 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 3: you've got a few guys who can play wounded, great, 234 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 3: but you know you don't want to get any catastrophes. 235 00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 5: Dan, how important was it for your teams to have 236 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 5: continuity from year to year? I know the NFL is 237 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 5: different than you always hear. Well, the twenty two team 238 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 5: is not what the twenty three team is and not 239 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 5: what twenty four team is. But you can have this 240 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 5: cores that stays together for a certain number of years. 241 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 5: How is that for you, guys, and just keeping your 242 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 5: core together? And how important was it to have that 243 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 5: continuity year after year after year. 244 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 3: Well, unfortunately, you as a player's corps and the ownership 245 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 3: development of the coaching staff's corps are two different things. 246 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 3: You know, we've made friends throughout our careers, guys that 247 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 3: we played with for many, many years, and then guys 248 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 3: that went off and had to be traded and whatnot. 249 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 3: You know, that's kind of out of the control of 250 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 3: the player, sure, and that's more the control of the 251 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 3: of the management and in the ownership. And the thing 252 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 3: that you know broke my heart was leaving Houston, and 253 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 3: you know that was just a long, long story. But 254 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 3: you know, leaving here and leaving that team was you know, tough, 255 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 3: and you know, even though you know, things didn't turn 256 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 3: out for me, and they didn't really turn out for 257 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 3: Houston either, and Bum was gone and it was all 258 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 3: broken up. So it's it's a very fragile thing to 259 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 3: keep all of those ingredients in the in the bowl. 260 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 6: Right. 261 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 3: If you can keep that, if you can keep the 262 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 3: management behind you, and you can keep the coaching staff 263 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 3: behind you, and the players, it's great. But you can 264 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 3: only play so many years and you got to make changes. 265 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: We know your heart is here, but when you go 266 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: to the Raiders, you go back to California. What was 267 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: Al Davis like then to be around? 268 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 3: This is a g rated show, right, Yeah, come on 269 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 3: to the next Let's go under the next next, we 270 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 3: don't want to talk about Okay, not a good Yeah. 271 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: Sorry about that. How bizarre was it? Maybe I should 272 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: hesitate to ask this one too. I am very glad 273 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: that the Titans do recognize the Oilers players. I am 274 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: glad for that. I know it's a weird dynamic. But 275 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: how bizarre was it to see the uniforms and see 276 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: the current Houston team playing those guys wearing those uniforms. 277 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: And I called them the fake Oilers because you know, 278 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: I have some feeling. 279 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 2: About this myself. 280 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: Actually it's very different from what you have. But I thought, well, 281 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: these are the Houston guys and those aren't. And it 282 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: just seems strange that the people in Nashville are thinking, well, 283 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: what's going on here because we never had these So 284 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: what was it like for you observing all that going down? 285 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 4: Well, I kind of I knew it was going to happen. 286 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 3: I found out about it for Amy last year when 287 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 3: we were there for the reunion. I thought it was 288 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 3: nice that she reached out and brought us in for 289 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 3: the reunion of the Tennessee Titans and the Houston Oilers, 290 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 3: And it was kind of a good feeling to have 291 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 3: some association with a team. Houston was our city. Houston 292 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 3: is our city. I still live in the city, and 293 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 3: I love Houston. I'll never leave Houston. When the Texans 294 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 3: came in, it was a very bad taste in our 295 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 3: mouths because they didn't want anything to do with us, 296 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 3: and we didn't really have anything to do with them. 297 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 3: But you know, we didn't have anything to do with 298 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 3: Tennessee either, right, so we'd like to stay here. We'd 299 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 3: like to keep it here. I mean, my I pulled 300 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 3: for Houston. That was a game I just kind of watched. 301 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 3: I couldn't pull against my uniforms, but you know, I 302 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 3: was still wanting. I want the Texans to win, but 303 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 3: you know, they're there. 304 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 4: It's it's one of those business deals that you look 305 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 4: at you look back through the history. 306 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 3: If they'd have given Bud Adams the stadium for three 307 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 3: hundred and forty million dollars, we'd still be here and 308 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 3: we didn't have this conversation the Texans would wouldn't be 309 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 3: wouldn't be here either, So but instead he left and 310 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 3: then the city had to do something. 311 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 4: Lanier had to do something. 312 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 3: So now he brings in the franchise, a new NFL 313 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 3: franchise and ownership twice that it paid one point seventy 314 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 3: five billion dollars to build a stadium, get a franchise, 315 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 3: and get a team going, which I'm sure you ask 316 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 3: cal about that. That's not that's not a nice big 317 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 3: nut to pay. But they could have just built the 318 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 3: stadium and everybody would have been happy. That's that's the logistics, 319 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 3: that's the finances of it, and that's the facts of it. 320 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 3: Now it's their uniform, it's the team, it's their oilers. 321 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 3: It belongs to them, the Adams family. They can do 322 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 3: what they want, so we shouldn't. The best thing to 323 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 3: do is to say, hey, we're glad we got our 324 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 3: Texans here. Now let's go on from here. But everybody 325 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 3: wants to fight change in ways.

No 357 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 3: offense to the Astros too. I mean the Astros are great. 358 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 3: I love the Astros, but you know, no offense to 359 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 3: the other teams.

I might have had a shot. 396 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 4: I think I still got a shot. 397 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 2: All right, there's Dan Pastorini. I joked about the movie 398 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 2: killer Fish. 399 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: Dan was in a movie called Killerfish, which nobody saw. 400 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: Maybe friends and relatives that kind of thing. But Dan 401 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: did a bunch of Hollywood stuff back in the day. 402 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: In fact, I went on a deep dive wormhole exploration 403 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: and found that he was on an episode of Fantasy 404 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: Island playing Guess what a quarterback? That was kind of funny, 405 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: so I watched his scenes in that episode just fun 406 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: stuff with Dan right there, and his comments on CJ. 407 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: Stroud were amazing. All right, Texans Titans, the sequel. We 408 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,719 Speaker 1: all know what happened the first time. It was an 409 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: epic game. And I don't use that word lightly for 410 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: what we saw in Nashville a couple of weeks ago. 411 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 2: But now you're at home, you gotta have it. 412 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: It's huge and let's get into it with another visit 413 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: with the voice of the Titans, Keith Mike. We just 414 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: caught up recently. I liken this whole thing too. We 415 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: had part one of the movie. Now it's the sequel, 416 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: the Texans and the Titans, and the first one was 417 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: a doozy. 418 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 2: Here we go with part two. How you doing, my friends, 419 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 2: I'm doing just fine. 420 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 6: I think the only problem for you, Mark is you're 421 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 6: gonna have to change your Titans spot charts considerably from 422 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 6: the game two weeks ago because we have had some 423 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 6: moving parts with guys going to IR, guys joining the team, 424 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 6: guys becoming starters. We are a beat up football team 425 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 6: at this moment in time as we head for Energy Stadium. 426 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: Well, we just re signed or reacquired Kareem Jackson from 427 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. So I wonder what veteran you're gonna 428 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: get from the Tennessee Titans history. 429 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 6: We need about five right now. Maybe Javon Curse somebody 430 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 6: like that would be really handy at this moment. As 431 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 6: a matter of fact, last Sunday Mark, our starting defensive 432 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 6: line and our starting secondary featured no one who started 433 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 6: the season opener at New Orleans. There are only three 434 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 6: guys on defense. Yeah, I mean when they introduced the 435 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 6: starting defense and eight of them were guys that most 436 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 6: of the fans didn't know. The crowd responded positively, you know, 437 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 6: they certainly cheered their players, but you could almost see 438 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 6: the inquisitive looks on their faces around the stadium, like 439 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 6: who are these guys? Now? Who's this? And that's really 440 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 6: what it looked like. Then finally Denico Autry and Harold 441 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 6: Landry and Aziz al Shire were introduced, like, oh, yes, 442 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 6: this is the starting defense. So it's it's been a 443 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 6: little bit of a rerun in the last two weeks, 444 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 6: like what the last two years have been. And you know, 445 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 6: we've been through kind of this crazy injury thing for 446 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 6: two years. This year not nearly as bad, but just 447 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 6: recently it has hit, and you get to the point 448 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 6: of the season now where if a guy potentially can't 449 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 6: play this week, you have to go ahead and put 450 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 6: him on ir just so you can get a body 451 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 6: in who can cover kicks and who can play on 452 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 6: the extra point team, and so on and so forth. 453 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, great point there, Mike Keith, voice of the Titans, 454 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 1: joining us all right, last time out, the Texans did 455 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: a tremendous job against Derek Henry, and then, of course 456 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: I monitored his progress against the Seahawks, and it wasn't 457 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,719 Speaker 1: an explosive game, but he was certainly back. He was productive, 458 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: caught a pass, threw a touchdown pass, and obviously looked 459 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: pretty good running the football. 460 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 2: So what do you make of it? 461 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 1: His comments after the Texans and Titans played last time 462 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: were very They weren't cryptic, they were very descriptive, and 463 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: it just felt like the end might be near. But 464 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen. I just know 465 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: he's going to be out there Sunday giving it his best. 466 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: Your thoughts on Derek. 467 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 6: One hundred percent? Right? You know? They they certainly did 468 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 6: some things better. I don't think the Seahawks are as 469 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 6: good upfront overall as what the Texans are, so that 470 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 6: factored in. But they they did some things, they changed 471 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 6: a little bit of personnel in there, and that kind 472 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 6: of helped them. But Henry was clearly motivated. You know, 473 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 6: whenever you get these professionals who are great players, and 474 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 6: you've seen this throughout your time in the league with 475 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 6: not only Texans, but players that you've played against, when 476 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 6: they come off of a game that is like that, 477 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 6: their pride takes over and you know you're going to 478 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 6: get something quite different in the next game. And clearly 479 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 6: Derek showed something very different in the game against the Seahawks. 480 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 6: Had they been able to run him in the fourth quarter, 481 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 6: which unfortunately they only really had two drives and one 482 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 6: of them was a two minute drive, they he would 483 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 6: have piled up more yards. But he ran harder, he 484 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 6: was more decisive, and I thought all of the pieces 485 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 6: went together and worked very very well for the run game. 486 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 6: Thirty one carries one hundred and sixty two yards overall, 487 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 6: and that factored in some good running too from Taji Spy. 488 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 2: And Mike will Levis. 489 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: Look, I know, as the week began, you don't know 490 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: what the situation is going to be but in general 491 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: his progress. Look, I know the Titans didn't get the 492 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: win the last time Will Levis played, but you certainly 493 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: see some signs, some potential there, some hope for the future. 494 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: What do you think the general feeling is about Will 495 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: Levis and what's yours. 496 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 6: I think internally, what they've been excited about with Will 497 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 6: Levis is that he runs the offense, that he plays quarterback. 498 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 6: The statement was made, I think was a good thing. 499 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 6: So many guys come out of college having run plays 500 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 6: and then other guys are playing quarterback. There are a 501 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 6: lot of guys that come out of college now that 502 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 6: have been running plays that get to the league and 503 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 6: have to learn how to play quarterback. Because this guy 504 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 6: was at Penn State and at Kentucky and played for 505 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 6: NFL style coaches, guys who've literally been in the NFL. 506 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 6: I think what you see from him is there's an 507 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 6: understanding of how you run the team, how you run 508 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 6: the offense, how you handle the huddle, how you call 509 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 6: a play. And because of that confidence mark, there's a 510 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 6: decisiveness to him. He has tremendous physical tools. I mean, 511 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 6: his arm is just amazing. But he's a really bright 512 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 6: guy who's into every detail of being this team's quarterback. 513 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 6: So do you have your answer for the future one 514 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 6: hundred percent? Well, you never know that. I mean, we've 515 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 6: had guys be Rookie of the Year here at quarterback 516 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 6: and then their career goes in a different direction. Anything 517 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 6: can happen. But do you see the right signs? Do 518 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 6: you see all of the markers and the boxes being 519 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 6: checked off and those sorts of yes, you do. And 520 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 6: I think that's why people are so confident in Will 521 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 6: Levice to this point, long way Togo, but he has 522 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 6: shown a whole lot that he has the ability to 523 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 6: be not just a credible NFL quarterback, but maybe a 524 00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 6: real good one. 525 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: As you observe what is happening down the stretch here 526 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: in the AFC South, the Jacksonville Jaguars, Trevor Lawrence all 527 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: banged up. What do you make of what they're going 528 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: through right now? It's almost similar. I know there are differences, 529 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: but it feels like almost what the Titans went through 530 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: second half of last year, where you have some good 531 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: things going on, but then injuries and whatnot crept into 532 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: the situation and you had that final do or die 533 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: game with the Jacks. 534 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 2: What do you think of them this year, what they're 535 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 2: going through. 536 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 6: I think it's exactly what we went through last year. 537 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 6: The key injuries at certain points, bad luck, getting out 538 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 6: of sync, sort of not being able to execute what 539 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 6: it is you do. I mean they we played them, 540 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 6: and I mean they absolutely handled the Titans. I mean 541 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 6: it was they looked like we left there. After that 542 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 6: ball game, You're thinking, that's a team that can win 543 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 6: the whole thing. If they go play like this, they 544 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 6: can win the whole thing. And then watching them this week, 545 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 6: you're like, who are these people? And that's what the 546 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 6: Titans did last year? And it just goes to show 547 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 6: about the NFL. You know, at one moment, you know 548 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 6: it can all go sideways. I mean, it was four 549 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 6: years ago the Titans made the playoffs at nine and 550 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 6: seven and beat the number one seed in the number 551 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 6: two seat and really handled both those teams and then 552 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 6: went to Kansas City and then they were ahead, Kansas 553 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 6: City had to come from behind to win the AFC 554 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,360 Speaker 6: championship game. That was a nine and seventy. It can 555 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 6: go both ways, and that's why everybody's just trying to 556 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 6: get in the tournament. You're trying to battle your way 557 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 6: into the tournament because you never know what can happen. 558 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 6: They're gonna have to turn it around in a big 559 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 6: hurry or they're not going to make the. 560 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 2: Tournament all right. 561 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: So you're looking at it from the outside seeing the Colts, Texans, 562 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: and Jags battle for playoff spots. What do you think 563 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: happens down the stretch here with these teams? Because the 564 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: Titans can really play spoiler multiple times here, well two 565 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: times with these final two, I think it's. 566 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 6: Gonna be hard to do because the Titans are going 567 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 6: to be in a position where they're having to come 568 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 6: to Houston and then they're having to play Jacksonville in 569 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 6: Week eighteen in the game that Jacksonville is no matter 570 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 6: what happens this weekend, clearly gonna need to win. So 571 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 6: the spoiler aspect thing is somewhat appealing. Tried to play 572 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 6: spoiler in the Seattle game. They needed to win that 573 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 6: one as well. I don't think that matters as much. 574 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 6: I think it's about matchup. To me, Houston is in 575 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 6: a great position right now, not knowing exactly where Indianapolis 576 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 6: is with some of their skilled people, and then seeing 577 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 6: Jacksonville having the difficulties that they have. They desperately need 578 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 6: to win this game this week against Carolina, a game 579 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 6: they should win based on just talent, because if they 580 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 6: come to Nashville having lost five in a row, that 581 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 6: may make it more interesting than what you know, because 582 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 6: as what happened with us last year, when we walked 583 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 6: into that last game having lost six in a row, 584 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 6: then you're in a position mark where you're saying, yes, 585 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 6: and we were ahead with three minutes to go and 586 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 6: would have won the division for a third straight year. 587 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 6: But you didn't have that confidence, right You didn't have 588 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 6: that self assured play down the stretch where you said, yeah, 589 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 6: we're ahead right now, you know, we're just gonna go 590 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 6: ahead and win this game. That's where you don't want 591 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 6: to be. Everybody had a bad weekend last weekend, you 592 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 6: flush it, you go on and I think you know, 593 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 6: that's obviously what the Texans are trying to do this weekend. 594 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 6: That's what the Titans are trying to do too. This 595 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 6: is a team that, in spite of being down personnel wise, 596 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 6: has played some pretty dog gone good football over the 597 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 6: last five weeks. For stretches, been very competitive, you know, 598 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 6: in the Houston game, very competitive beat Miami somehow, had 599 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 6: a chance to beat Seattle, had a chance to beat Indianapolis. 600 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 6: If this team keeps playing that way, they may get 601 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 6: somebody at some point point. Because I think it's a 602 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 6: credit to Mike Vrabel. They're doing what he wants to do. 603 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 6: They're playing the complimentary football. If they can limit the mistakes, 604 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 6: even with the talent, they're giving themselves a chance and 605 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 6: we'll see. 606 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean very close games, no question about it. 607 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: Last two times out after the win against the Dolphins. 608 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: Mike Keith, voice of the Titans, joining us. All Right, 609 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: so the Texans and Titans both played the Ravens, both 610 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: lost to the Ravens. We just saw what the Ravens 611 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: did to the forty nine ers. Are the Ravens that good? 612 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: Was it a great day for them and a sub 613 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: par day for the forty nine ers? What do you 614 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: think of the Ravens here and how the rest of 615 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: the AFC up top anyway shapes out going into the postseason. 616 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 6: Mike, I think those are the two best teams right now. Now. 617 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 6: What goes from here? How does San Francisco respond to that? 618 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 6: And how does Baltimore respond to that? Is this Baltimore's 619 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 6: high water mark and they think they've really got and 620 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 6: then they don't play as well, especially with you know, 621 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 6: having Miami coming up, a team that can certainly drive 622 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 6: you crazy. If I'm San Francisco, I like having that 623 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 6: game with the thought that you know, they're coaching staff, 624 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 6: everybody associated saw the Ravens at their best. If there 625 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 6: were to be another meeting in the Super Bowl coming 626 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 6: up in February in Las Vegas, I think you like 627 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 6: having seen their best against you on tape for the 628 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 6: adjustments that you'll be able to make, you know, I 629 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 6: do think it's Baltimore's race to run right now, because 630 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 6: when we saw them in London and we left London, 631 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 6: my feeling about them was they've got a chance to 632 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 6: get considerably better. And they have Mark, They've continued to 633 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 6: improve throughout the course of the year, and they have 634 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson not herding at this point in the season 635 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 6: for the first time in a long time. 636 00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a big deal. 637 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: And we talked about when the Titans were nine and 638 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: seven knocking off Baltimore, knocking off New England on the 639 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: way to Kansas City in the AFC Championship Game. What 640 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: about the Chiefs because that game that you played against them. Historically, 641 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: recent history, they've been so good, but right now not 642 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: so much. 643 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 2: What do you think of what they're going through. 644 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 6: I just don't think they're a real good football team 645 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 6: right now. I just don't think there's any part of 646 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 6: them that's really functioning at that high level. And I 647 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 6: think there are a lot of reasons for that. But 648 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 6: there's certain things that even when they lost games, they 649 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 6: could say, whatever, we'll come back and we'll lean on 650 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 6: you know, Patrick Mahomes, and we'll get this fixed. And 651 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 6: I don't think that's just enough right now, because there 652 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 6: are enough teams in the AFC that have worked so 653 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 6: hard to develop rosters and strategies to beat them, you know, 654 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 6: And that's what you do if you want to compete, 655 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 6: if you want to play that kind of football, then 656 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 6: you've got to be able to match up with them. 657 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 6: And I think Baltimore has set a roster to do it. 658 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 6: I think Buffalo set a roster to do it, you know. 659 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 6: I think Miami has certainly set a roster to be 660 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 6: able to go right at them. And so there's that 661 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 6: ebb and flow and you know this too, Mark, would 662 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 6: you get good in this league. Then what happens is 663 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 6: you either have to pay guys to keep them or 664 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 6: you let guys walk because you can't pay everybody. Well, 665 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 6: they're going through that cycle right now. It's some of 666 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 6: what that has affected the Titans this year is the 667 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 6: Titans were paying off some contracts of guys who were 668 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 6: either not playing for them anymore, retired, or were not 669 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,719 Speaker 6: performing to the level of what they were when they 670 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 6: initially got those contracts. Well, so the ebb and flow 671 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 6: is that the Titans had they won a couple of 672 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 6: close games, Titans might be eight and seven right now, 673 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 6: but this was going to be a transitioned year. Now 674 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 6: what happens is you get eighty million dollars to spend 675 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 6: in the offseason and you've got eight draft picks, and 676 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 6: suddenly you've got a chance to come back quickly if 677 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 6: you found your quarterback. We all go through the cycles. 678 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 6: Everybody deals with it, and I think Kansas City's dealing 679 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 6: with it right now. 680 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: Great analysis there, Mike, Well, thanks so much for the 681 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: time as always, and we look forward to seeing you 682 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: on New Year's Rocke and Eve when the Texans and 683 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: Titans get together again. 684 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 6: I look forward to seeing you too, Mark, Thanks for having. 685 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 2: Me on there. 686 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: It is for the podcast today Mike Keith and of 687 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: course Dan Pastorini and that's going to do it.
