00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 3: great to have you with us, and I know it's

19
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 3: great to talk football.

20
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 4: Very serious things.

21
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 5: Going on in the world as well, though, Yeah, I

22
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 5: think it's important just for all of us to acknowledge

23
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 5: kind of the occurrences in the Middle East. There's probably

24
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 5: people that are directly or indirectly that either we know

25
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 5: or that are in our building or that have some

26
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 5: affiliation that are have been affected by what's going on

27
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 5: over the weekend. And I think a lot of times

28
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 5: we get caught up in sort of our day to

29
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 5: day and focus on football and wins and losses, which

30
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 5: we have a job to do, but it's also important

31
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 5: to acknowledge, you know, sanctity of human life and the

32
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 5: travesty and the tragedy and the devastation that has taken

33
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 5: place and in Israel. So you know, I think it's

34
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 5: just important for us to acknowledge and provide support where

35
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 5: we can to the best of our ability.

36
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 3: All Right, Well, thank you for saying that, Nick, and

37
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: let's get into Week six here as the Texans are

38
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: coming off the game against Atlanta, and what do you

39
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 3: make of what you saw on Sunday? There were some

40
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: encouraging things, but there are also some things that you

41
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 3: definitely want to correct going into the Saints game as

42
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: you return home.

43
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, had our moments put ourselves in a position to.

44
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 6: Win the game.

45
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 5: Ultimately, Atlanta made a few more plays at the end

46
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 5: that resulted in the game winning kick there, you know,

47
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter. So we did some decent things offensively,

48
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 5: didn't turn the ball over Defensively, we were able to

49
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 5: take the all away, which has been a huge emphasis,

50
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 5: let's say, on a weekly basis for us. Just I'd

51
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 5: say it's really it comes down to execution and details

52
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 5: more than anything. Demiko kind of talked about that with

53
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 5: the team to the team, so we can clean some

54
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 5: areas up. We've put ourselves in a position just about

55
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 5: every week, given ourselves an opportunity to win. Even going

56
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 5: back to Baltimore, I means seven six at halftime the

57
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 5: second half, things kind of got away from us, But

58
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 5: we had an opportunity against Indy. You know, played better

59
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 5: against Jacksonville and you know Pittsburgh, and had a chance

60
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 5: here against Atlanta against a good team. So hopefully we

61
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 5: can get some of the things cleaned up. I can't

62
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 5: let what happened on Sunday affect what goes on this week.

63
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 5: New team, new set of circumstances, new set of challenges.

64
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 5: Hopefully the players come to work with the right mindset

65
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 5: here this week, try to have a good week and

66
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 5: try to go into the bye week on a positive note.

67
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 5: So be a big challenge in front of us for sure,

68
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 5: with what New Orleans presents Nick.

69
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: One of the things that stood out to me the

70
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 2: last three or four weeks in particular, I guess all

71
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: season two, the end of half, end of game situations,

72
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: a rookie quarterback kind of managing all that. But you've

73
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: kicked a field goal essentially on the last play of

74
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: the half in three games, and in a two minute

75
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: drive in the fourth quarter when you got to have

76
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: it for a touchdown, you go and score inside of

77
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: two minutes a touchdown.

78
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: What does that speak to, not only.

79
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: About the offense, just everything that goes on the operation, etc.

80
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: That you've been so good in those situational opportunities.

81
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really it's everybody involved. It's the players, it's

82
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 5: the coaches say, it's the communication, understanding of what's needed

83
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 5: in those particular situations, what we're trying to accomplish, What

84
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 5: are we trying to do, Understanding the context of the game.

85
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 5: Where are we with the timeouts, where are we with

86
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 5: the time left? Not giving the ball back to the

87
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 5: opponent's say two minute situations. It's something that's practiced and

88
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 5: I think everybody understands the intent of what you're trying

89
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 5: to do, but it's credited to players understanding it's a

90
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 5: credited to coaches and everybody involve and we're able to

91
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 5: execute it the way we have, like you mentioned at

92
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 5: the end of some halves. I mean, hopefully that's something

93
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 5: that we is the strength of ours that we can

94
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 5: continue moving forward.

95
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the development of the offense and CJ. Stroud

96
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: running it. You have opponents that handle them in different

97
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 3: ways as these weeks go on, Right, there's a constant

98
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 3: chess match going on as you go week to week.

99
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 4: Can you speak to that a little.

100
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 5: Bit you're talking specifically the end of the half or

101
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 5: just offensive execution?

102
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 7: Sure?

103
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 6: Absolutely.

104
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 5: I mean you go into the game and whoever you're playing,

105
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 5: whatever they're doing defensively, here are the things that they're

106
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 5: good at. Here are the things that we have to

107
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 5: be cognitant off. Here are the things that we're trying

108
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 5: to take away from them. There's going to be things

109
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 5: that they try to take away from us. So it's

110
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 5: understanding the personnel, it's understanding the scheme, it's understanding the

111
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 5: philosophy of how they want to play. And then we've

112
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 5: talked about this on the show. Once you get through

113
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 5: the first quarter, the game usually declares itself in terms

114
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 5: of how it's being played, how they're calling it, what's

115
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 5: working for us, So then being able to adjust and

116
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 5: adapt continually as you go. And then when you get

117
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 5: to the end of game, it's similar to the end

118
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 5: of half. It comes down to situational execution. Not that

119
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 5: the game is going to change all that drastically, but

120
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 5: you're just in a different thought process, in a different mindset.

121
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 5: Opposed to Okay, first and second down, Now you're get

122
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 5: two minute situation, the clock's running down, trying not to

123
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 5: give the ball to the opponent, trying to score with

124
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 5: the least amount of time possible. We're trying to prevent

125
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 5: them from getting down the field and getting field goal range.

126
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 5: So there's just more situational components and elements that come

127
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 5: up at the end of half and then once you

128
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 5: get to the end of game as well, and when

129
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 5: you look around the league, even watch them Monday night

130
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 5: game last night, it came down to really situational execution

131
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 5: both at the end of half and then the end

132
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 5: of the game there as well.

133
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 6: I mean, fourth and one with two.

134
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 5: Twenty left, miss a field goal, green Bay's got to

135
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 5: score a touchdown. We'll be able to get a stop

136
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 5: and there's the football game. So it happens. And I

137
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 5: don't want to say just about every game. It's usually

138
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 5: a majority of the games kind of end up in

139
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 5: that situation. There's a few that the score might get

140
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 5: tilted one way or the other. But that's life in

141
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 5: the NFL.

142
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's life in college football too.

143
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: I think the University Miami found that out not being

144
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: good attended games. But that's me saying that, Neil onball, Yes, exactly,

145
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: listen to your coaches. The other one, Nick, I'm sure

146
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 2: like Mark, like me, you may get it when you're

147
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: out shopping for groceries and doing the things that you

148
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 2: do out and about town, and you get answered the

149
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: quest or get asked the question, Nick, what about the

150
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: run game? What about the run game? Because there are flashes,

151
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: there are bright flashes. You see there's a fifteen yard

152
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: run and then you find one that's not a fifteen

153
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 2: yard run for a loss. So there's some good things happening,

154
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: but then it's not happening consistently enough. What do you

155
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: see in what can help the run game you think

156
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 2: going forward?

157
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's never one thing.

158
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 5: I mean, it could be a block here, a read there,

159
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 5: running into a bad look. The defense does a good job,

160
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 5: so there's a lot of components that go into it.

161
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 5: Some of the negative runs put us in some longer

162
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 5: yarded situations, so they had a good call or maybe

163
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 5: we could have executed a little bit better.

164
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 6: But you know, that's the run game.

165
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 5: So I'd say most runs are designed to hopefully get

166
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 5: three or four yards because then it puts you in

167
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 5: a second and six, second and seven, so you just

168
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 5: want to keep it moving forward. So certainly, not for

169
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 5: lack of effort. You know, we've had our moments, like

170
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 5: you mentioned, certainly something there's always things that we can improve,

171
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 5: just individually and as a team collectively. So whatever we

172
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 5: can do to try to improve a situation, that's our

173
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 5: responsibility to try to do it. So there's been enough

174
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 5: good examples. We have good players, we have good line

175
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 5: we have good backs, so we just have to put

176
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 5: it all together. Sometimes you got to get tip your

177
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 5: hat to the defense as well, because they may have

178
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 5: a call that is sort of built for what you

179
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 5: call offensively, and that's the way it goes sometimes.

180
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 3: Nick Johnny and I are writing a song called the

181
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: Ballad of Derek Rivers because Derek Rivers has been who's

182
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: the lead? Yeah, I might, I might, yeah yeah, But

183
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: it's just interesting because he's been up and down and

184
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: even if you go to his Wikipedia page, very off

185
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: of these pages have every transaction associated with the players.

186
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 3: Now with Derek, it just says a flurry of moves

187
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 3: because he goes up and down. Can you speak to

188
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: that a little bit about how you do those things

189
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: and not necessarily just him, but with the practice squad flexibility.

190
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, nothing's ever really pre planned.

191
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: Sometimes you're trying to take inventory of where you are

192
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 5: that week, think about the game, think about where we're

193
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 5: going to be, say players moving on and off of rosters.

194
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 5: Sometimes you start or typically you start with the players

195
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 5: that are likely going to be inactive. If you have

196
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 5: to make an activation, you have to sign somebody. I'd say,

197
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 5: we've had to use their term a flurry of players,

198
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 5: an activity of players coming back from injury. So if

199
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 5: a player goes from an off the roster status IR

200
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 5: and you're going to activate them, So you're going to

201
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 5: have to figure out ways to get them on the team.

202
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 5: So there's the fifty three man active roster component, but

203
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 5: also manage your practice squad as well. So there's never

204
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 5: nothing's ever linear. It's i'd say, constantly changing and evolving.

205
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 5: It's really a week to week endeavor. So we try

206
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 5: to do the best we can. I think we've been

207
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 5: i'd say pretty consistent with the beginning. We try to

208
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 5: keep as many people in the building as possible that

209
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 5: we want to continue to work with. Derek is certainly

210
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 5: a player that fits that case category and fits that bill.

211
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 5: So as far as the roster mechanizations and just the

212
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 5: adjustments we have to make, sometimes they're day to day,

213
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 5: week to week, and you just take the information that

214
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 5: you have, try to make a right decision, a good decision,

215
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 5: and then.

216
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 6: Just move forward.

217
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 5: So i'd say his case, I don't wanna say is

218
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 5: maybe at times a little extreme, but there's plenty of

219
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 5: players that go on and off rosters. They're on the roster,

220
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 5: they're off the roster, they're elevated to the game. I mean,

221
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 5: I think we've seen, you know, however, many elevations that

222
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 5: take place on a weekly basis, which are significant. I mean,

223
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 5: you guys see the transactions that take place. So some

224
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 5: of this is the minutia and the day to day

225
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 5: of just NFL business and transactions.

226
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it is manusia it imagine for you, but

227
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 2: getting the right team. That's why I say every single

228
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: week is a season because it feels like it is

229
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 2: a completely different seven day animal from one week to

230
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: the next. And this animal coming up the New Orleans Saints,

231
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: Nick coming into the building. We know a lot of

232
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: the players, a lot of the names are people are

233
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: familiar with them.

234
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 4: What have you seen? What's the Scotty reporter on the

235
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 4: Orleane Saints.

236
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd say big picture, very well coached, and a

237
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 5: lot of continuity. Just they have a number of players

238
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 5: that return from last season. They've incorporated some younger players

239
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 5: into their program. But I'd say Dennis has done a

240
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 5: good job in his second year, has a good feel.

241
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 5: They made a change the defensive coordinator, but Dennis is

242
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 5: a huge part of what they're doing. And then Pete

243
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 5: has been there for I want to say twenty some

244
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 5: odd years. I mean Pete, you know, Carmichael has been

245
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 5: there a long time. So I in a big change

246
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 5: for them offensively was assigning a Derek in the offseason.

247
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 5: Derek's been a good player, been very productive, very durable player,

248
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 5: and they have a very good compliment of skilled players.

249
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 5: They always have. They all haven't been available at one time. Coincidentally,

250
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 5: they're all available when they played the Texans. So Kamara

251
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 5: returned last week, so he's playing. Mike Thomas has been available.

252
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 5: Mike's been a really good football player. Alave has been

253
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 5: out there. Olave had a great season as a rookie.

254
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 5: So and they sort of reshaped and they have a

255
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 5: couple of guys hurt at tight end position, but sort

256
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 5: of reshape the tight end position and have made a

257
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 5: huge investment in the offensive line. I think they have

258
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 5: four or five first round picks on the offensive line.

259
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 5: So and they have a good system, and they have

260
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 5: a good scheme. And I think the guy who it

261
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 5: contributes not only offensively but is a huge factor in

262
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 5: a kicking game is Shaheed So he's again here's a

263
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 5: player who wasn't drafted, kind of came out of nowhere,

264
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 5: who is a factor offensively, big playability, combo returner. I mean,

265
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 5: he certainly presents a lot of problems. So there's a

266
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 5: player that they're starting to incorporate a little bit more

267
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 5: drafted Miller in a third or fourth round kid from TCU.

268
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 5: He's backing up Kamara. So I think they're starting to

269
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 5: hit their stride here a little bit. Offensively, they have

270
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 5: a full compliment of player that's available, and then defensively,

271
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 5: I mean they're basically top five in every major category points, rush, yards, turnovers,

272
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 5: a combination of experienced players in Tyron Davis, Cam Jordan,

273
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 5: and then juxtaposed that with players like Lante Taylor in

274
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 5: his second years transitioned to kind of being their slot

275
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 5: corner kind of basically took Roby's spot and the Lattimore's

276
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 5: as good of a corner as theer is in the league.

277
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 5: And then Brazi, the kid from Clemson has given them

278
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 5: some good snaps on the interior. So good defensive line,

279
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 5: I would say, two really really good linebackers in h

280
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 5: In Davis and Werner in terms of a pair of

281
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 5: their billion nickel defense. And then in the in the secondary,

282
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 5: Marcus May they signed for agency, they get him back

283
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 5: off suspension. You know, Tyron has been a good player

284
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 5: for a long time. And then they've done a good

285
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 5: job at corner. And then I would say, I mean

286
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 5: them are Baltimore probably the best kicking game group we're

287
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 5: gonna see this season in terms of their core players. J. T.

288
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 5: Gray is outstanding and Lonnie's actually done a really good

289
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 5: job finding a niche and a role.

290
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 6: Lonnie Johnson.

291
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 5: In the kicking game, they turned over the punter and

292
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 5: the kicker, you know, two rookies, but they've done a

293
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 5: good job. So I mean it's gonna be a huge

294
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 5: challenge for us in all three phases. It's good football

295
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 5: team kind of top to bottom that we're going to

296
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 5: see this weekend.

297
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 3: You didn't have the joint practices with them, had they

298
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: taken place, how much of that would you look at

299
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: prior to a game like this. You have all this

300
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: game footage to look at, but the matchups would those

301
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 3: come into play?

302
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 4: Perhaps to a degree. It's probably a little bit more

303
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 4: personnel driven.

304
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 5: Let's say in the preseason, there's a certain element of

305
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 5: scheme that's probably not going to be factored in. You know,

306
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 5: we talked about this even with Miami, you know, practicing

307
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 5: with Miami for a couple of days and then going

308
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 5: into the game, your scout and report is really those practices,

309
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 5: But then.

310
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 4: Who's playing, who's available, who's in the lineup.

311
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 5: Kind of a baseline I would say, foundational understanding, and

312
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 5: then you really what you want to do. What we're

313
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 5: doing now is going back and look at the first

314
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 5: five weeks. What have they done? How have they deployed?

315
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 5: Some of those people in their personnel And a lot

316
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 5: of players that in that played in the preseason game.

317
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 6: They're week three summer a factor. Some are not.

318
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 5: You know, there's a lot of backups that played in

319
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 5: the game. So but any information that's available to you,

320
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 5: you try to utilize it to the best your ability.

321
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: Nick, you mentioned a word that I find always interesting.

322
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: You said continuity. And I think we talk about continuity

323
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: because we all feel like every team is supposed to

324
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: have some continuity and when we'll have that in due time.

325
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 2: But the Saints have this. You look at the roster

326
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: and it is what they were all together. What does

327
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: that do for a football team when you can have

328
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: that sort of continuity on both sides of ball? They

329
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: don't have a kicking game because the punter and kick

330
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: are new, but still having it on both sides of

331
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: the ball, they've got guys that have been it for

332
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: a while.

333
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 5: Sure, the more time on task you have as a

334
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 5: collective group, then it enables you to grow as an

335
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 5: overall program or in either phase of the phase of

336
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 5: the side of the ball or phase that you're working with.

337
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 5: So in their particular situation, have a lot of experienced players,

338
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 5: a lot of players that have played a lot of football,

339
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 5: especially on defensive side of the ball. Or talking about

340
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 5: Davis's played a lot of football, really good football, honestly,

341
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 5: going back to his days the Jets, this guy's been

342
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 5: very durable, very available and out there. And cam as

343
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 5: the long ast tenured Saint currently on a ROSS, so

344
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 5: they have an understanding of what the expectation is on

345
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 5: a day to day basis, and when they bring players

346
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 5: like Brazi Alante Taylor onto the team, they kind of

347
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 5: help them assimilate. So when you build a team, when

348
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 5: you put a program together, you got to start somewhere.

349
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 5: You got to put a foundation in place. I would say,

350
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 5: not too dissimilar to what we're doing this season. You know,

351
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 5: with Demiko and the staff and the players, you understand

352
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 5: here are the things that are important, here's the standard

353
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 5: of behavior and performance that we expect on a day

354
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 5: to day basis. And then when you work with each

355
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 5: other on the field, ultimately it comes down to communication

356
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 5: amongst the players on the field and do you trust

357
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 5: a guy that's not on either side of you or

358
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 5: behind you. The more time that you do that together,

359
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 5: then you can play around with some different I would say, looks, disguises, adjustments.

360
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 5: You may be able to make some modifications in game. Hey, look,

361
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 5: you know when we run this play, I'm looking a

362
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 5: little bit more for this. You know, they have an

363
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 5: understanding of what the language is. So it just allows

364
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 5: you to kind of break down some barriers and just

365
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 5: get more comfortable with everything that's going on around in

366
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 5: the midst of chaos, which sixty minutes on Sunday is

367
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 5: essentially chaos. But you try to mitigate the chaos as

368
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 5: best you can. And the more time you've done it

369
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 5: collectively together, it just gives you better opportunity for success.

370
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: Nick a fan posted a pick on social media of

371
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 3: you and he at an airport. You were headed somewhere,

372
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 3: I guess for a scouting trip or something. I don't

373
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: want to talk to you about the picture, but I

374
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 3: will talk.

375
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 4: It might have been this weekend, maybe it was this

376
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 4: past week was to cans Dan is his name? Oh tou?

377
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: Cans Dan posted the picture. You were wondering, great, who

378
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 3: took the picture? With you, But where have you been

379
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: this year that we might be interested in great college

380
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 3: atmosphere anywhere?

381
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 5: Cool yees so, and I had the opportunity to go

382
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 5: down a little bit early on Saturday. Georgia play Kentucky,

383
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 5: so it's too a good football team. So it's say,

384
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 5: sometimes a lot of this is geographically based. So if

385
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 5: there's a team or an opportunity to see somebody play

386
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 5: where we're playing, that's kind of the overlap. So I have

387
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 5: done that a couple of times here this season on

388
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 5: the road. So I'm going back to Saturday. I was

389
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 5: on my way down Saturday morning just to get in

390
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 5: atlant a little bit earlier and head over Athens.

391
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 6: And let's say Kentucky got a good football team.

392
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 5: Let's say George's got a really good football team. So

393
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 5: it's just kind of more than anything, you just kind

394
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 5: of get an idea. You're not like basing a decision

395
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 5: off of one individual game, but it's an opportunity to

396
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 5: see large groups of players all in one spot. So

397
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 5: as you work through your process during the fall and

398
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 5: then transition to the offseason, you kind of have a

399
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 5: baseline understanding experience. And I'd say our area Scouts and

400
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 5: road Scouts have done a phenomenal job to this point.

401
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 5: They've seen a lot of these players already once sometimes twice.

402
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 5: So this is all about information flow. So the more exposures,

403
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 5: the more eyes we get on them, and then are

404
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 5: we seeing things either. Similarly, if there is a discrepancy

405
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 5: your gap, all right, let's go back and take another

406
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 5: look at it. So it's good opportunity here to do

407
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 5: some of those types of things. Let's say this week

408
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 5: Houston actually plays Thursday night, so playing West Virginia, so

409
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 5: it might be an opportunity to head over there. So

410
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 5: just trying to maximize i'd say, our time, my time,

411
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 5: and try to multitask where you know we're suitable.

412
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: So when you're with the when you're with the area

413
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: of scouts, do you kind of keep your notes to yourself?

414
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: I mean nothing that you don't want to share, but

415
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: just you kind of want to hear their perspective not

416
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: clouding your perspective.

417
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 4: How do you kind of go about that?

418
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 7: Nick?

419
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 2: So you watching with fresh eyes? Okay, I watch this guy. Now,

420
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 2: what did you guys.

421
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 6: Think it works? Both the ways? John?

422
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 5: Actually so matter of fact, so yesterday, so the group

423
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 5: sends kind of their weekly updates, kind of a quick

424
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 5: snapshot strengths, weaknesses, kind of bottom one. Here's the role

425
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 5: for the player, all right, here's what we think of

426
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 5: the player, here's the grade. Then I can watch them

427
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 5: go through my process. All right, I see what he

428
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 5: sees or hey, what about this? And then if we

429
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 5: are together, then we can kind of talk i'd say,

430
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 5: in like terms, and just really make a conversation with

431
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 5: anything else. It's not about who's right who's wrong. Are

432
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 5: we getting the player in the right general area from

433
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 5: an evaluation standpoint, understanding there's a lot of runway ahead

434
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 5: of us that we have to get to, so and

435
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 5: then trying to be I would say cognizant of the underclassmen.

436
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 5: So we're ahead. The declaration won't happen to the middle

437
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 5: of January, but it's not wait for them to declare.

438
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 5: Let's go back and do a lot of work. We

439
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 5: try to be proactive, and you have to be I

440
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 5: would say prudent about how you do that, being respectful

441
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 5: of the colleges and everything like that. But at some

442
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 5: point these players are going to be available. So it's

443
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 5: really a two way street, and it's very conversational, but

444
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 5: they're typically productive conversations.

445
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 6: When we have them, we'll shoot.

446
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 2: CJ made us wait till like two hours before the deadline,

447
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: so thankfully he got that stuff done.

448
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 4: But you guys are on top of it. Nick, important

449
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 4: question here.

450
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 3: Fall weather is upon us now, and you're a coffee drinker,

451
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 3: So pumpkin spice?

452
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 4: Do we have flavored coffee? How do we there's a

453
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 4: certain there's a certain musk.

454
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a like a caramel drizzle cuig. But

455
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 5: I'm a Starbucks guy, so I've tried the pumpkin spice Lotte.

456
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 6: Not a fan.

457
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 4: Sorry, all due respect to Starbucks.

458
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 5: So I did try the the apple crisp oat milk machiato.

459
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 6: But I'm kind of a honey almind, flat white guy. Okay,

460
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 6: on a day to day basie.

461
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 4: That's a complicated order.

462
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 5: My wife is a caramel macchiato gal. So see, I

463
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 5: never would have predicted this. I thought you were gonna

464
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 5: say I used to be a green tea latte guy

465
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 5: and I transitioned to coffee.

466
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, everybody has to give.

467
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 2: Their Starbucks order because for some people it can get

468
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 2: kind of long and lengthy.

469
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: I don't want coffee. I'm out of there. I don't

470
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 3: want to your old school. Old school.

471
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 7: That's it.

472
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 4: Nick, thanks a lot for joining us. Good luck this week.

473
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 6: Thanks guys, all.

474
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 4: Right, great stuff there with Nick Cassario.

475
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 2: We always have a fun time talking with Nick in studio,

476
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 2: So hopefully you guys enjoy that.

477
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: What your gut tell you about this week, it tells

478
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: me that they're gonna be competitive. The Texans will be

479
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 3: competitive with the New Orleans Saints. I have no doubt

480
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: about this. I know the Saints have weapons. I know

481
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 3: they've got Thomas, I know they've got Camara, I know

482
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 3: they have a lobby. I know they have Derek Carr

483
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 3: pulling the trigger, who still has the shoulder injury. By

484
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 3: the way, But Johnny, I look at what happened at

485
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 3: New England, and congratulations to the Saints, and thank you

486
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 3: very much, by the way, because it's just thank you

487
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: happy to see the Patriots lose. But at the same time,

488
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 3: look at the numbers from that game. I think that game, yeah,

489
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 3: they made plays on defense, no doubt about it, but

490
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: it got away from the Patriots in the worst possible way.

491
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if the Saints defense is that good,

492
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 3: but they are good. Now you look at the schedule,

493
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 3: it's not unbelievably great, But the Saints are fourth in

494
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 3: the league in points and yards on defense, and you

495
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 3: have to take that into account here. So I do believe, though,

496
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 3: despite all that, that the Texans will be able to

497
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 3: move the football better.

498
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 4: I think they'll make the corrections.

499
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: The thing that concerns me though, is slowing them down

500
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 3: enough on defense. But I do think that if you

501
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: are able to do what you need to do on

502
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 3: offense and score twenty four to twenty seven points, I

503
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 3: think you win this football game. Now, I'm not predicting it.

504
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 3: I don't make predictions, you know that. But my gut

505
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 3: tells me it's a hotly contested affair and the Texans

506
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 3: are in this game in the fourth quarter with a

507
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 3: chance to make a play and win.

508
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 4: Thirty thousand foot view.

509
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: Last week, the Trends held thirty and oh Desmond Ritter

510
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 2: was as the starting quarterback at home that trend held.

511
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: The Texans were oh for Atlanta that trend held. The

512
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: Saints are oh for Houston.

513
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: They are and both with Drew Brees and Drew Brees

514
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 3: on some pretty good teams. Oh seven. I remember it well.

515
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 3: And I remember driving to the stadium that day. Don't

516
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 3: ask me why. I just remember driving to the stadium

517
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 3: that day and thinking, is this a game where they

518
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 3: can get it going here? Because I think that game

519
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 3: put the Texans at five and five at the time,

520
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 3: and remember that was the first year they went five hundred,

521
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 3: so they climbed to five and five, and I thought

522
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 3: that was a big deal at the time.

523
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 4: You're five and five with six to go, let's go.

524
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 4: And of course we.

525
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 3: All remember twenty fourteen with the Alfred Blue touchdown reception

526
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen rather off the arm of Cecil Shorts.

527
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 2: Third, we bring that back, maybe it needs to be

528
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 2: on well, we need to bring it back in a

529
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 2: couple of ways. Number one, to put it back on

530
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: the social media. I saw it the other day, I

531
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: want to say, but that was brilliant. I mean, Cecil

532
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 2: just you know, gassed up, threw it deep. That was

533
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 2: nicej He also did something that day that had never

534
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 2: been done up to that point against the Sean Payton

535
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: and Drew Brees coach team.

536
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 4: Which was keep them under a touchdown, keep him without

537
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 4: a touchdown.

538
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: It was the first time that had happened and I

539
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: told this to Drew the other day. One of the

540
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 2: things about that game I remember as I'm watching the

541
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 2: game and JJ was always animated.

542
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 4: But in this one he was even more so.

543
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,479
Speaker 2: But there was one point during the game where Toront

544
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 2: Armstead is like motioning for him to come over to

545
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: that side, and he's like, I'll be over there. I mean,

546
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 2: I could see this going on during a break and

547
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 2: so Armstead is like waving him over. Well, eventually he

548
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 2: goes over to Armstead and he works Armstead something fierce

549
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 2: gets a sack on Drew Brees and I thought, wow,

550
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 2: But I remember JJ being a little bit more animated

551
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: than usual. I't come to find out he was miked up.

552
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 2: He was miked up for that game, and he was awesome.

553
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 2: It started in warm ups and in stretching and activation

554
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 2: and went throughout the game. He's looking up the Saints

555
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 2: sideline like hey, y'all need to get somebody over here

556
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: and get better to him, and he was really good.

557
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,239
Speaker 2: But I remember that twenty fifteen game for that I

558
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: at the time, I'm like, Okay, this defense is playing

559
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 2: really really well. Didn't realize until after the game, like, whoa,

560
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 2: the Saints sta have a touchdown?

561
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 4: When has that happened? Yeah, and it was the first.

562
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: Time under Peyton as a coach, in Breeze as the

563
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: starting quarterback that they had not registered a touchdown so

564
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: seven and fifteen. Meanwhile, Drew Brees beats us there in

565
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: twenty eleven and then beat us in twenty nineteen on

566
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 2: Monday night football.

567
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 3: It's a good thing to bring up for multiple reasons here, Johnny,

568
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 3: and I think that the defense, the way they improved

569
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 3: that year and found themselves, that's what you're looking for here.

570
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 3: You're looking for a team to improve over the course

571
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 3: of a year, because that was the year where you

572
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 3: had those disgusting blowouts in right, Ransom, Atlanta and Miami

573
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 3: in fifteen right, and then you got it go in

574
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: and finished third over all in the league. The team

575
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 3: that finished third over all in the league in defense

576
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: gave up all that to Miami and all that to Atlanta.

577
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 3: Somehow you got it together winning a Monday night football

578
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 3: game ten to six, beating the Jets, I mean the

579
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 3: Saints and holding them to six points.

580
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 4: Yep, that was awesome. Yeah, it was awesome.

581
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 3: Oh wait, wait, the touchdown pass was against the Jets,

582
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 3: not the Saints.

583
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 4: That's what they had won against the Saints as well.

584
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I'm thinking of the Jet game. Okay,

585
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 3: the Saints was different. It was the six point output.

586
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 3: You're right, sir, Drew Brees and Charles without a touchdown,

587
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 3: but it was another I think Hoyer was back for

588
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 3: that game. Yeats started against the Jets. I want to

589
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 3: say Hoyer was back for the Saints.

590
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 4: I think you're right. I think you're absolutely right about that.

591
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 3: Came in back to back fashion, I believe in the

592
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 3: twenty fifteenth season.

593
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 4: I'm going to look it up right now.

594
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: Yes, Brian Hoyer, Brian Hoyer was back in that particular

595
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: game and Hoyer. Yes, Cecil Shorts had a touchdown catch,

596
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: I remember that, and then Alford Blue had an eight

597
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 2: yard run and kind of put it on ice twenty

598
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: four to six. In that game, held Drew Brees to

599
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty eight yards passing on forty four attempts.

600
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 4: They couldn't run it. They couldn't run it. They couldn't

601
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 4: run it, they couldn't move it.

602
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: Mark Ingram did have a nice game that day, nine

603
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 2: for fifty two, but they just got away from it

604
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: because they were down.

605
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were down in that game.

606
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 2: And that's I mean, I don't want to leave Alvin

607
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 2: Kamara with nine for fifty two because he'll probably catch

608
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: eight for seventy five. Well, and that's what that's what

609
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 2: we can't have happened in twenty nineteen. We had them

610
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 2: on the ropes early in that game. Breeze had thrown

611
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: the interception witty, merciless. But then Kamara got going. Yeah,

612
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: passing game, running game, he got going and was like, boy,

613
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: we can't.

614
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 4: I mean, he was.

615
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: Right in his prime.

616
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 3: In nineteen two, another game where the offense leaves the

617
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 3: field with the lead defense can't hold it. And with

618
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 3: Drew Brees, hey, thirty seconds is too much time, right

619
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 3: with Desmond Ritter, well, looks like, you know, a minute

620
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: plus is too much time plus the timeout.

621
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 4: So they had whatever the case is.

622
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 3: Don't even get me started on holding in that game.

623
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 3: Don't even get me starting Aaron Colvin. Yeah, I know,

624
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 3: a rough moment for him. But anyway, look, my gut

625
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 3: says competitive, it's gonna be tough to beat them. They

626
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 3: are good and they're rounding into form and Kamara is

627
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 3: back is what third game back from the suspension. Yeah,

628
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 3: they're strying to put it together. You know, I look

629
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 3: at what the Buccaneers did to them. And we'll have

630
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 3: Mike Hassan Voice of the Saints a little bit later.

631
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 3: He said they just could not get to Baker Mayfield

632
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 3: and he picked them apart. Okay, that was part of

633
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 3: the problem there, but they couldn't score on them either.

634
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: And look, Derek Carr's been dealing with a shoulder problem

635
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 3: in and out of the lineup, but he's.

636
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 4: In right now and he's rare to go.

637
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 3: You know, he's playing here for the second time since

638
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 3: he left here as a Clements High school ranger.

639
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 6: Yep.

640
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 4: So let's see how it all goes again.

641
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: Hopefully trends hold because Derek Carr's oh for one, ironically,

642
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 2: of all the games that Cars played, all right, I

643
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: guess you could say the twenty sixty Monday night game,

644
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: he was pretty good down in Mexico City twenty nineteen.

645
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: He was awesome that day. He was really really good

646
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 2: that day. We just made one more play than they did.

647
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 7: He was good.

648
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 2: We talked about this a little bit kind of on

649
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: a plane, and we talked about during the broadcast two

650
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 2: against Atlanta. What if I told you, yeah, I'm gonna

651
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: give you one number. Okay, what if I told you

652
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 2: on Sunday the Texans match twenty fifteen's rushing total thirty

653
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: eight attempts for one sixty seven. What if I told

654
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: you the Texans run for one sixty seven on Sunday

655
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: This Sunday, This Sunday.

656
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 4: It's a win. Come on, it's a win.

657
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: Now.

658
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 4: Last week we had the same thing.

659
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 3: You went the turnover margin to nothing, and you know

660
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 3: all the rest of the stuff. And I know we

661
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 3: had that exercise and you guys did it in the

662
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 3: lab as well. Right, but you run for one sixty

663
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 3: seven on the Saints this Sunday.

664
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 4: I like my chances.

665
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 7: C J.

666
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 3: Straud throw on the ball the way he is right now,

667
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 3: No picks, now, you're not gonna give me any other information, right.

668
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 4: Nope, that's it.

669
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 3: But I'll take thirty eight for sixty seven seven on

670
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 3: thirty eight carries.

671
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 4: Good night, everybody. It's a win. It's probably a decisive win.

672
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think I would think the same if

673
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: you get a hundred, if we get one hundred and

674
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 2: sixty seven yards rushing, I'll buy everybody in Energy Stadium

675
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 2: of water on the way out.

676
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 3: How about that, Johnny, don't promise that. I know I can't.

677
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 2: Last time I've done that, Sean Penry ass and I

678
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: had to pay for beer for a lot of people,

679
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 2: Thanks Brett Farv.

680
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 3: A lot of people go to NRG Stadium. If that's

681
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 3: what it takes, buy all water.

682
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 7: I don't know what it might.

683
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 2: Hurt, but yeah, one hundred and sixty seven yards would

684
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: be would be really nice.

685
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 3: I'll you know what, if we're playing, let's make a deal.

686
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 3: I'll take one twenty right now and not look back.

687
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 3: If you give me one twenty on the table instead

688
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 3: of what's behind door number two, I'll take the one twenty.

689
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 2: Well, considering that the Patriots had a total of one

690
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty six yards against the one hundred and

691
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: twenty rushing, would be very, very nice.

692
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 4: I think they've got other problems though, Patriots.

693
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 3: Yes, I cannot look at them as a normal NFL

694
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 3: team right now.

695
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 4: I'm with you right now. Yeah, there's something.

696
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 3: They're having psychological problems in addition to lack of personnel.

697
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 2: And they're without their two best defensive players at you

698
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 2: Don and Christian goan Zalez.

699
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 3: The rookie there was those two they anything off. He've

700
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 3: seen life without this. We watt out Week three, twenty sixteen,

701
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 3: wat out Week five, twenty seventeen.

702
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 4: PRIMEI A River.

703
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: I mean, look at what we had on our offensive

704
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 2: line going on the first four weeks of the year.

705
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 2: So you know, Crime a River, go get it done.

706
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 2: If you're the greatest coach of all time, well here

707
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 2: you go. Here's your challenge. No one's expecting super Bowl

708
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: out of them anyway. No, I mean if they went

709
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: seven to ten at this point, that would be not great.

710
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 3: You were Zolac said, what did he say? Oh no,

711
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 3: he wasn't singing any Josie.

712
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: He wasn't singing Josie at all. He was perturbed. I

713
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 2: think it was twenty four to nothing and it was

714
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: a tip pass interception, I believe. And it was at

715
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 2: that point where the boost rang louder. They had already started.

716
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: They rang louder, but they started going for the exits.

717
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 2: And he's like, here they are leaving for the exits.

718
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 2: I mean, he made pointed it out.

719
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 4: Wow on the broadcaster was well, was he calling them

720
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 4: out or was just saying he was saying they're leaving?

721
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 2: And the way he was speaking, it was like, well, yeah,

722
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 2: it's obvious.

723
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 3: A beloved friend of mine, one of my best friends

724
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 3: in the world as a Patriots fan, and he's having

725
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 3: a hard time of it.

726
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

727
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 4: In fact, he's just watching us right now talking about

728
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 4: how good C. J. Stroud is.

729
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, soak soak it in, soak in the

730
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: Stroud love.

731
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 2: What if you're in your thirties from New England or

732
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: in you were New England, you have never seen this

733
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 2: from any of your franchises before.

734
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 3: Can't fathom this, right, It's tough, right, what everybody's going through.

735
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, deal with it. Thank goodness for the Bruins

Speaker 4: Everyone?

759
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 10: Oh okay, okay, yeah, I've were nine since high school,

760
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 10: so that's kind of where it originated.

761
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 9: You grew up in Utah, you were nine in high school.

762
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 8: You tight end in high school as well, You've always

763
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 8: been a tight end, okay.

764
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 10: You know, Well I grew up like my like eight

765
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 10: to thirteen, I was a center, like a guard, okay,

766
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 10: and then like when I hit thirteen, dropped a bunch

767
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 10: of weight, made weight for like my last year of

768
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 10: Little League because we had.

769
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 6: The X man ual, okay, which I don't know if

770
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 6: people know, I don't know.

771
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 10: So it's like if you're over a certain like weight threshold,

772
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 10: they put an X on your helmet, you can't carry

773
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 10: the ball. I got under that threshold so I could

774
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 10: be like outside linebacker tight end, and then I got

775
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 10: to high school and then like became a you know,

776
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 10: a tight end, a tight end tight end. We had

777
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 10: enough players on our team where we could like kind

778
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 10: of platoon style sure, so I mean we had eleven

779
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 10: on offense and then eleven on defense. So Utah, Wow,

780
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 10: we were one of the Yeah we were bigger school

781
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 10: and you say.

782
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 9: A big high school powerhouse in Utah.

783
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, we were necessarily back then.

784
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 8: But yeah, okay, so then you you went to Stanford,

785
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 8: So Stanford was your first any other schools that.

786
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: You were.

787
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 10: Like in state, I probably would have gone to Utah,

788
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 10: not a b y u guy at I know, it's

789
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 10: like the Holy War then, Okay. I wanted to get

790
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 10: out of the county or not of the country, of

791
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 10: the state.

792
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 6: The country, the country too.

793
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,719
Speaker 10: Yeah, and so like I wanted to like pursue a

794
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 10: place that would kind of benefit me, you know, not

795
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 10: only in the football side, but like the academic side. Yeah,

796
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 10: you know, Stanford, I mean you can't you can't really

797
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 10: beat it, especially you know when I was coming out,

798
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 10: and like I mean they were kind of in the

799
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 10: in the you know mix for national title contention, and

800
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 10: so yeah, I think that was just like a no

801
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 10: brainer for me. So I was like, dude, like, this

802
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 10: is amazing. You guys used three four tight ends of

803
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 10: time like run the ball, well, throw the ball well, Like, yeah,

804
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 10: I want to be.

805
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 6: A part of it.

806
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 9: You don't need like an engineering degree or anything like that.

807
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 10: It was a BS though, it was I did get

808
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 10: a BS. It was an STS, which is Science Technology and.

809
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 9: Society, Science Technology and Society.

810
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 10: Yeah, so that was like one of the majors that

811
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 10: like you could kind of like it was a little

812
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 10: more flexible than some of the other ones, and so

813
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 10: like I was able to kind of like make my

814
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 10: own course plan and course loaded, and I structured it around.

815
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 10: I completely structured around like video game design. So I

816
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 10: took like as many like programming slash design courses that

817
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 10: were totally focused on like making games, making video games.

818
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 9: What you would have done you think had you, I

819
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 9: would have done.

820
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 10: Something in the industry. Really was either that or like

821
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 10: architectural something or another.

822
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 6: Yeah. I think those are the two, like.

823
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 10: Ass the aspects of learning that appealed to me the

824
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 10: most because I was like, dude, I'm in college playing football.

825
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 6: This is amazing, but like, you're.

826
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 9: Getting an amazing degree at the same time cool stuff.

827
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 10: It's like I'm going to do something that is like fun,

828
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 10: so like learning is not you know, a chore. Yeah,

829
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 10: on top of all this running and lifting and it's.

830
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 9: Techie and it's creative at the same time.

831
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 10: It's a Silicon Valley. I was like, is this like

832
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 10: the perfect set? But they didn't have a game design that,

833
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 10: like you settled.

834
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 9: For the NFL instead.

835
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's for you. It was a solid backup. Is

836
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 6: a good backup in the NFL.

837
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 8: All right, So you get drafted by the Cowboys and

838
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 8: I was reading a little bit about your history.

839
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 9: I mean you had a bit of a tough road

840
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 9: early on.

841
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 8: I mean, even though you were draft picked for the Cowboys,

842
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 8: you had to sort of work your way up on

843
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 8: the depth chart.

844
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 11: Right.

845
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 10: No, for sure, I played I want to say, my

846
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 10: first game, I played like three or four snaps and

847
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 10: then I ended up like healthy scratching for the next

848
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 10: five and then and then you know, I think our

849
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 10: starter went down he broke his wrist, and then like

850
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 10: I was kind of like moved up and got.

851
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 6: Some more playing time and more playing time, and then

852
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 6: it was.

853
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 10: Like, you know, I finished the year like getting a

854
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 10: pretty solid amount of playing time, like a few catches,

855
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 10: like nothing crazy, but you know, I was like, okay,

856
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 10: I'm ready to kind of like you know, take.

857
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 6: Take more of a you know, role in the offense.

858
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,959
Speaker 10: And then guy Jason Witten comes back, and I'm like, dude,

859
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 10: it was honestly was like I say, I say this

860
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 10: completely seriously, like it was probably the best thing that

861
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 10: really happened to me.

862
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,439
Speaker 8: Was like to have him come back and learn under him,

863
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 8: because I was just wondering emotionally, like you're like, okay,

864
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 8: Jason Wenton's gone.

865
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 9: When they need a guy, they need a tight end,

866
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 9: you get drafted.

867
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 8: Also, it's like and then he comes back, like we're

868
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,479
Speaker 8: watching it. It's like funny because I've never thought about

869
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 8: that story from like a tight ends perspective one on

870
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 8: the team.

871
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 10: To be honest, like, I think my rookie year, like

872
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 10: I just wasn't ready, like mentally I maybe was, but

873
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 10: like that leap from college to the NFL physically, especially

874
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 10: when you're playing in the trenches all the time, like dude,

875
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 10: it takes a it takes a year or two to

876
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 10: kind of get your feet under you to feel like okay,

877
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 10: I can I feel comfortable blocking like one on one

878
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 10: with like these huge day freaks, and so I think,

879
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 10: you know, kind of having that a little bit of

880
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 10: like you know, by to the Apple my rookie year

881
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 10: and then kind of taking a step back and like

882
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 10: seeing what I mean, a walking Hall of Famer is

883
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 10: able to like you know, kind of how he goes

884
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 10: about his week. That was like, Yeah, the best I'll

885
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 10: say it again, is the best thing that happened for

886
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 10: my career for sure.

887
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 8: What what do you think was the biggest lesson that

888
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 8: you learned from him? Like being a pro obviously, but

889
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 8: like anything else that you felt like you would not

890
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 8: have gotten about the position or the game had he

891
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 8: not come back.

892
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, honestly, there's too much things to like

893
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 10: put on anyone. Like I've learned so much like my

894
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 10: film study habits like are literally just straight from him.

895
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 10: Like I asked. I sat him down and asked him

896
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 10: one day and I was like, hey, like how do

897
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 10: you how do you prepare? Like how do you watch film?

898
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 10: What do you look for? Like what's your film schedule

899
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 10: through the week? And he like walked me through it

900
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 10: and that's literally what I do that you did. So

901
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 10: I still, yeah, I still prepare watch film just like that,

902
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 10: and then I mean just to like have an example

903
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 10: of a guy who's just obviously been able to do

904
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 10: it and do it at the highest level for as

905
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 10: long as he did, Like you learn how to kind

906
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 10: of carry yourself, and you learn how to practice and

907
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 10: like things to do, things to like you know, necessarily

908
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 10: like put a bunch of extra time into and things

909
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 10: kind of not not to worry about. Like honestly, watching

910
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 10: him do like the offense against Scout team was like

911
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 10: very valuable.

912
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 6: Is that right?

913
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 10: Because there's something there's some things that he was just

914
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 10: like like he would lose on the block and I'd

915
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 10: be like, oh, you know, did he just get he

916
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 10: just got beat? And then he'd be in the film

917
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 10: room He's like, yeah, like that's the exact footwork that

918
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 10: I'm taking into the game because like Dn's not gonna

919
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,439
Speaker 10: play like that, So I don't care about this rep

920
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 10: Oh interesting, okay, Like I'm and so seeing his focus

921
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 10: on like how he would prepare, I mean that just

922
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 10: helps young.

923
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 9: I mean it sets you up nicely.

924
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 8: You've had like back to back games with the touchdown,

925
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 8: So can we talk about just your touchdown celebration with

926
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 8: the chased around because you didn't even that touchdowns all.

927
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 9: We will talk about singletary in a minute.

928
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 8: We'll talk about motor in a second, but just just

929
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 8: your rapport with CJ. The touch he's got a celebration

930
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 8: with everybody, and it seemed like you guys have your own.

931
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 6: Is like he's a big handshake guy.

932
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 8: Okay, So like, so who came up with a handshaking him?

933
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 8: He's like, this is going to be our handshake dog,

934
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 8: and so what is your hand can I ask you?

935
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 6: Like, no, you just got to see it. I saw somebody.

936
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 8: We'll run the clip here, but you did like this

937
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 8: arm crossing thing. And then like we'll see the next one.

938
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 10: Like now that you've called us out on it, you

939
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 10: know what, it's gonna be different. We have something in

940
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 10: the back the next one.

941
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, so he's I noticed that he's got different hand

942
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 8: I thought first I thought it was a West Coast thing,

943
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 8: but then I was like, no, it seems like for

944
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 8: every player. He's just got a different celebration everybody. And

945
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 8: he didn't even throw that touchdown. He was so happy

946
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 8: for you. So yeah, how about how about motors skills at.

947
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 10: Oh my god, you talk about a ball, like a

948
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 10: ball coming from a running back to like he put

949
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 10: it back. I was like, did you keep throwing balls

950
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 10: like that? I'm gonna have to buy you a watch

951
00:39:58,680 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 10: or something.

952
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 9: And I heard that play did not go well in practice.

953
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:07,240
Speaker 8: We like you guys, and then you weren't nervous.

954
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 10: But as yeah, as soon as you overthrew it, I

955
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,959
Speaker 10: was like, oh it is about to No, it's about

956
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 10: to work.

957
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 6: Oh okay. As soon as you like threw it over

958
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 6: my head and practice, I was like, oh yeah, we're.

959
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 8: Dial really yeah, so that doesn't make you nervous that

960
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 8: when you run a play in practice, you.

961
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 10: Know, it's like it's funny sometimes like the bad stuff

962
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 10: that happens in practice like solidifies that it's going to

963
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 10: be good for the game.

964
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 6: But yeah, because you get the bad wrap out.

965
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 10: Like you're like the defense does something and like you know,

966
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 10: somebody messes it up and it's like, oh freak, like

967
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 10: I missed my assignment.

968
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, now you know you're going to be perfect.

969
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 10: In the game because like you had the you had

970
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 10: the hard looking practice, you had the messed up.

971
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 8: I'm so curious because what if you have a great

972
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 8: rep in practice, does it work the other way.

973
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 6: No, it doesn't want to great in the game too.

974
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 4: Everything is always going.

975
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 6: To be great.

976
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 8: I like that attitude. I like the positivity. All right,

977
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 8: So c J's your dog. You you guys worked a

978
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 8: lot this off season together, Like you guys got close

979
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 8: and he's he has said some really great things that

980
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 8: just about you being a security blanket for him.

981
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 9: You're a veteran in the league.

982
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 8: What is that like your relationship with him, a guy

983
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 8: so much younger when.

984
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 9: You signed here, you didn't even know that he was

985
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 9: going to be your quarterback.

986
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think just like the scheme that we have,

987
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 10: like the kind of the Shanahan offense, it's it's a

988
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 10: lot of timing and rhythm, and like as soon as

989
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 10: you know we picked him, and I was like, at

990
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 10: the forefront of my mind is like we need to

991
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 10: start building that rapport and that timing and that rhythm,

992
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 10: because that's that's the most important thing that especially tight

993
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 10: end can have with his quarterback is just you know,

994
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 10: giving him a spot that he knows exactly where I'm

995
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 10: going to be when I'm going to be there, and

996
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 10: like I know exactly where he's going to put that

997
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 10: ball on on what look. So that was definitely like

998
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 10: something that I want to get started on like right away,

999
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 10: because those things are those things take time to kind

1000
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 10: of grow and like build confidence in. And I think

1001
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 10: that you know, he's done a good job as anybody

1002
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,439
Speaker 10: on preparing and you know, making sure that that he's

1003
00:41:58,520 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 10: right and his eyes are on the right spot and

1004
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 10: he's making the right throws, and I think just continuing

1005
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 10: to build that kind of rapport with each other is

1006
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 10: going to be you know, key. You know, I think

1007
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 10: that you know, when you have a guy that you

1008
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 10: can really count on and opens up the offense, regardless

1009
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 10: of where that position is, whether it's you know, receiver,

1010
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 10: running back, kind of ind like you know, you start

1011
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 10: building a good enough report with a guy, like teams

1012
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 10: are going to kind of hone in on that and

1013
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 10: then you know other guys are going to be open.

1014
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 8: So yeah, I remember you saying when you signed here,

1015
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 8: you actually were drawn to Demico because of the defense, right,

1016
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 8: because what you saw in the playoffs last year with

1017
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 8: the Cowboys.

1018
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 10: He's got guys in the right spots all the time,

1019
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 10: like making plays, Like dude, it feels like it felt

1020
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 10: like every time we played them, like they knew exactly

1021
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 10: what we were doing, and so it was like, you know,

1022
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 10: I just I'm a I'm a believer in just the

1023
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 10: scheme aspect, and so that was obviously.

1024
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 9: Attractive on the defensive side of the ball.

1025
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, on both sides. Okay, Like I mean this is

1026
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 6: this is basically to San Francisco.

1027
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 9: Coaches, right, You're like, we're going to have the same scheme.

1028
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 10: The same ideas, and so I think that, you know,

1029
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 10: for sure, that was attractive to me because they've given it,

1030
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 10: They've given me issues.

1031
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 7: You know what I mean.

1032
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 8: So, I mean it's pretty fortunate you got to stay

1033
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 8: in the state of Texas, right because Dallas to Houston.

1034
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 6: Like with the first move, Yeah, I was you know, you's.

1035
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 9: Went your whole career in Dallas in the NFL.

1036
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 10: So I think are the first move being you know,

1037
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 10: only four hours away, like in terms of just driving, yeah,

1038
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 10: not even an hour flight, four hour drive, right, Like

1039
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 10: it's easy.

1040
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 9: I mean you can fly like one hundred times a

1041
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 9: day to Dallas. I mean not one hundred, but there's a.

1042
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: Lot of money.

1043
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 6: I think there's a little bit more math to do there,

1044
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 6: I mean, right.

1045
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 10: I mean more five minutes fifteen twenty minutes change over

1046
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 10: twenty four hours in a day.

1047
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1048
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's very easy to get to

1049
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 8: Dallas and back. So what do you I've lived in Dallas.

1050
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 8: I lived in Dallas briefly, and there's like this big

1051
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 8: rivalry between the two cities. What have you thought about

1052
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 8: that just coming from Dallas to Houston, because you have

1053
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 8: been on the other side of it, people in Dallas,

1054
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 8: what they think about Houston Houstonians in Dallas.

1055
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 10: To be honest, like I haven't felt that really like

1056
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 10: and I could just be out of touch, like I

1057
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 10: don't know, I don't feel I don't feel like any

1058
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 10: animosity like from Wow.

1059
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 6: To be honest, Okay, okay, I don't know.

Speaker 2: he did not participate in practice. Memory Tussel was also

1089
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 2: a spectator at practice today dealing with a niche kill.

1090
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 2: Griffin still with that calf tanked out in the concussion protocol.

1091
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: That's a big one obviously.

1092
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 2: Malie Collins having abdomen issues did play this last week.

1093
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 2: In fact, all but Shaq played in the game last

1094
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 2: week against the Falcons. Hopefully we'll be able to get

1095
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 2: those guys back on Sunday because we will need them

1096
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 2: against the Saints. Limited participants Blake Cashman, George Fan, Christian

1097
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 2: Harris bet concushion. That was good to see him back

1098
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 2: in at least the limited capacity, and then Shaq Mason

1099
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 2: deal with an ankle. All the hand issues were nice

1100
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 2: to see foot Titus Hour, Josh Jones, Denzel Perriman, Tavier Thomas.

1101
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: They were all back as full participants in practice. Also

1102
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: designated to return.

1103
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 2: Wide receiver Noah Brown now the Saints, unlike last week

1104
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 2: where he looked at the injury report and went, wait

1105
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 2: a second, there's something wrong with us. The Falcons didn't

1106
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 2: turn those in guys, how can they know? The Falcons

1107
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 2: had everybody fully healthy, fully participating in practice all week.

1108
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 2: That is not any other team I've ever seen ever,

1109
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 2: but the Saints more like the Texans. They've got five

1110
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 2: guys DMPs. One name you'll recognize, Lonnie Johnson deal with

1111
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 2: the hamstring, Jawan Johnson tight end dealing with a calf issue.

1112
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 2: Adam Prentice, their full back has been dealing with.

1113
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: JT. Gray was back last week, but he had a

1114
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: hamstring and Landon Young backup tackle with a hip. A

1115
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: couple of Vets got rest days.

1116
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 2: Ryan Ramchecking, Jimmy Gordon, Jimmy Graham, Cam Jordan was limited

1117
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 2: to participant in chrysal Lave with a toe, James Hurst

1118
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 2: with a foot. But Derek Carr was back with that

1119
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 2: right shoulder. Looks like he's pretty close to being back

1120
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 2: to one hundred percent. And Marcus May safety returns from suspension,

1121
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 2: so he more than likely will be back there next

1122
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 2: to Tyrone, and you're gonna have a hitter and a

1123
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 2: playmaker back there, because that's what those two guys are.

1124
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 11: Uh.

1125
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 2: The Tyrant is the playmaker, Marcus May is the hitter,

1126
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 2: and Anders Pete was back after being in a concussion protocol.

1127
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 2: He missed last week's game. James Hurst played in his place.

1128
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 2: He's deal with the foot is shoe. So they've got

1129
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 2: a couple of injury issues, but probably really honestly about

1130
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 2: the same on both sides for these two teams.

1131
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 7: So there you go.

1132
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: Injury report.

1133
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 2: Now learned a little bit more about the Saints and

1134
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 2: go man behind the Mike's Next, Mike Hass, a great name.

00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 2: little bit more about the Saints, get from their perspective

1146
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 2: from Mike Hass, Mark Takeaway.

1147
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 3: Joining us now in Texans Radio. It's Mike Hoss, voice

1148
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 3: of the New Orleans Saints. Mike, great to have you on.

1149
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 3: Tell me first the Saints performance against the Patriots. Was

1150
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 3: that the Saints rounding and deform what they really can be?

1151
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 3: Or was it a bad day for New England or

1152
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 3: a combination of things.

1153
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 4: How do you see it?

1154
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, I gotta believe it's it's the latter. I mean,

1155
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 11: the Saints fight well, and they dictated the game. They

1156
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 11: dictated putting points on the board first, and then yes,

1157
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 11: it did unravel for a struggling New England team. But

1158
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 11: this is kind of the team that we went to

1159
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 11: training camp thinking about. Uh and it's really the first

1160
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 11: time that we've seen it. But this is really the

1161
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 11: first time, if you know, the first game back for

1162
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 11: Alvin and Tampa then played since January of this year,

1163
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 11: really played. So I feel like it's a combination of both.

1164
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 11: But this is kind of the team that we thought

1165
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 11: we would have. Now, you're not gonna put thirty four

1166
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 11: up each week, but you get that kind of defensive

1167
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 11: effort with just a solid offensive effort, and especially in

1168
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 11: the red zone, that's the difference in the game. You know,

1169
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 11: this is what we saw. What happened.

1170
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 3: All right, Mike, Let's go over some of the weapons

1171
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 3: that the Saints have because I'm losing a little sleep

1172
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 3: over this one. First of all, our buddy Derek Carr,

1173
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 3: who was here as a little kid when the Texan

1174
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 3: started out as David's little brother, and I've told many

1175
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 3: stories on the air about playing catch with Derek after

1176
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,359
Speaker 3: practice when he was in sixth grade and seventh grade

1177
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,479
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. Great guy. What does he bring

1178
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,280
Speaker 3: it to the table for the Saints offense?

1179
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 11: You know, he brings the most important thing, which is stability,

1180
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 11: even through the shoulder injuries. So you know, we knew

1181
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 11: post Drew Brees would be difficult. So there was this

1182
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 11: battle between Jamis and Taste in the year one that

1183
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,720
Speaker 11: Jameis woe but then gets hurt and then they played

1184
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 11: four quarterbacks at twenty one twenty two. It was Jameis's job, loses,

1185
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 11: gets hurt and that's your backup Andy Dalton for fourteen games.

1186
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 11: So that that was never none of that was ever

1187
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 11: of the plan. And so he brings to building, you know,

1188
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 11: even through that injury, and you know, experience, and I

1189
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 11: think it's only going to get better. He's he loves

1190
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 11: this offense. This offense thrives on a quarterback with experience

1191
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 11: who can make quick decisions, good decisions at the line,

1192
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 11: And certainly he learned a lot of that from John Gruden.

1193
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 11: That's what made Drew so special. The ability to pull

1194
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:51,399
Speaker 11: out of plays at the line. And I can pull

1195
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 11: out of plays at the line, but can I pull

1196
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:54,919
Speaker 11: out of the plays and go into the right one.

1197
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,959
Speaker 11: That's the difference, and so he brings I think we're

1198
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 11: just hopefully I say this, hopefully just beginning to see

1199
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 11: some of the offensive progression that he brings because he's

1200
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,400
Speaker 11: just he hasn't played with these guys. This is, you know,

1201
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,840
Speaker 11: third game with Alvin coming up, and to have Alvin

1202
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 11: and Mike and shit, he o lave and hopefully get

1203
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 11: some tight ends back back into this scene. So I

1204
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 11: hope it's just the next step in an evolution.

1205
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 3: Mike hosts Voice of the Saints, joining us on Texans Radio. Mike,

1206
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 3: other than Derek, who is the most important offensive player

1207
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 3: for this team in your opinion right now and maybe

1208
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 3: into the rest of the season, it's Alvin Kamara.

1209
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:43,720
Speaker 11: Way off question. I mean, you know, against New England,

1210
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 11: it'll never it won't show up in any numbers. It's

1211
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 11: not gonna get sat anybody talked about. But the Saints

1212
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 11: ran the ball on first down probably I don't know,

1213
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 11: seventy five eighty percent of the time. And they weren't

1214
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 11: gash runs, they weren't ten twelve, but they were five yards,

1215
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 11: four yards, six yards, and that's something they've not been

1216
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 11: able to do. And when you do that and you're

1217
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 11: second and four or second and five. Now the swing

1218
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 11: pass to Kendre Miller or the swing pass to Alvin

1219
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 11: makes the biggest difference. So his ability to run the

1220
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 11: ball between the tackles, not going wide, but between the

1221
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 11: tackles and have positive yardage consistently. I mean, he's the difference.

1222
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:27,240
Speaker 11: He's such a difference maker because you got to account

1223
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 11: for him. And once you have to start accounting for Alvin,

1224
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 11: now all of a sudden, well, who's accounting for Tayson,

1225
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 11: Who's accounting for Mike Thomas, Who's accounting for a lave?

1226
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 11: It makes the whole team that much. But it begins, well,

1227
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 11: I mean begins with Derek, but it begins in my

1228
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 11: mind with Alvin Kamara Mike.

1229
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 3: Is the Pete Carmichael offense the Sean Payton offense or

1230
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 3: has it changed at all? I know the personnel adjusts

1231
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 3: a bit, especially when you get a different quarterback in there,

1232
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 3: But tell me about that.

1233
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it's the foundation, is the Sean Payton offense.

1234
00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 11: I mean, obviously, you know Pete Carmichael comes in with

1235
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 11: Drew Brees and six you know, without Drew Brees, there

1236
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 11: is no, Pete Carmichael here and they work together with Sean.

1237
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 11: He called plays at different times, but I do believe

1238
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 11: the foundation of the offense is Sean. But Pete's at

1239
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,800
Speaker 11: it now really since the back half of twenty one,

1240
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 11: So I feel like you're going to start seeing more

1241
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 11: of him. I don't know I they'll look any different

1242
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 11: because I believe the foundational points are there that it's

1243
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 11: a you know, quick get the quarterback, short drop, quick release,

1244
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 11: you know, to go from Drew and Derek. That's a

1245
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 11: quarterback that's not escaping the pocket a whole bunch ken Ken,

1246
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 11: but doesn't want to take the hit. So I think

1247
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:45,760
Speaker 11: foundationally short passes, good running game and have the ability

1248
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 11: to go deep is what they want to do. So yeah,

1249
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 11: it's a it's a combination. But I think this past week, man,

1250
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 11: it was rough in New Orleans. I mean, were you

1251
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 11: thought the team was zero to ten? People were just

1252
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,439
Speaker 11: pitched four. Everybody's got to go. I'm like, they're two

1253
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 11: and two. They've only had two starts better than this

1254
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 11: since twenty thirteen, So it was just, you know, it

1255
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 11: was tough, and I think he came out of it,

1256
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 11: and you know, again it's one game. You got to

1257
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 11: be able to sustain it. But it was a very

1258
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 11: important game just for everyone's psyche.

1259
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 3: Mike Host, voice of the Saints, joining us. So tell

1260
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,359
Speaker 3: me on defense. We know about some of the big names.

1261
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,399
Speaker 3: We know about Jordan, we know about Tyron Matthew who

1262
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 3: is here for a year in twenty eighteen for the

1263
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 3: Houston Texans Latimore. But give me a name or two

1264
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:36,800
Speaker 3: that just doesn't get the publicity that maybe deserves more notoriety.

1265
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 4: On this Saints defense, which is fourth in the league.

1266
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 11: Carl Granderson is by far the tops. He doesn't you know,

1267
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 11: he's not doesn't show up on anybody's pregame report. You

1268
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 11: know we're talking about it. But when you do a

1269
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 11: postgame report, yeah, he's the guy. And it's often in

1270
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 11: plays where he doesn't we'll get credit. He's the guy

1271
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:03,720
Speaker 11: on Tyrant's uh picked six, it's Granderson's pressure that causes

1272
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 11: the throw right and so you get kind of lost

1273
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 11: in that. But he had a think a sack and

1274
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 11: a half, three tackles, three tackles for a loss, the

1275
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 11: quarterback hit. He is the guy. And there are times

1276
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 11: when Carl Granderson is out there and he's just he's unstoppable,

1277
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 11: he's unblockable. And it's not every game, it's the consistency factor.

1278
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 11: But man, there are times he's just he's a beast.

1279
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 11: And then you know, you can't say enough about to

1280
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 11: Mario Davis, who again just does his job kind of quietly.

1281
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 11: They run a lot of two linebackers set with he

1282
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 11: and Pete Warner. But to me, Carl Granderson, maybe a

1283
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 11: Malcolm Roach and a to Mario Davis and Pete Warner

1284
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 11: are just man, they're just beasts out there.

1285
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 3: Mike, You've been in New Orleans a long time, so

1286
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 3: you tell me, and you mentioned it last week, the

1287
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 3: way people were feeling about the Saints early on in

1288
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 3: the season. They blow out the Patriots. But but is

1289
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 3: this sort of an uneasy time in Saints' history because

1290
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 3: you go through all that success with Sean Payton and

1291
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 3: Drew Brees, even before that has lit winning the playoff

1292
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,359
Speaker 3: game in two thousand, so you had fifteen twenty years

1293
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 3: of relative success after all those years of struggling. Is

1294
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 3: this sort of an uneasy time as you try to

1295
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 3: re establish for the future.

1296
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 11: You know, I think twenty two, twenty one and twenty

1297
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 11: two were kind of that time, and they weren't you know,

1298
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 11: twenty one wasn't bad. The finished nine to eight and

1299
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,920
Speaker 11: really should have made the playoffs. So they've kind of

1300
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 11: been in this tweener situation whereas Shawn leaves leaves a

1301
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 11: pretty good football team, but you know you've got no

1302
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,720
Speaker 11: Drew Brees. Well, you know, guess what, look at New England.

1303
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 11: You know, find any team that's had a Tom Brady

1304
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 11: or Drew Brees that survives. Right, But the team was good,

1305
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 11: so it was so good that you couldn't blow it up.

1306
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 11: In twenty one and twenty two or twenty three, you're like,

1307
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 11: well we're not, We're we're we have good people, good defense,

1308
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 11: good offensive people in a lot of positions, number one

1309
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 11: picks almost across the offensive line. So they've they've they've

1310
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 11: since I don't know, twenty sixteen, they've been in a

1311
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 11: win now mentality and they can't seem to get out

1312
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 11: of it, right because it's a good football team. So

1313
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 11: I think they've passed that kind of you know time

1314
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 11: post Drew. Now. I think it's about building something without

1315
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 11: probably having to tear it up because there they've been

1316
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 11: enormously good in free agency, good in draft, and you

1317
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 11: know Derek Carr, you know, even with his you know,

1318
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 11: experience in age, I think is the right guy for

1319
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 11: the job. So, you know, I feel like they're they're

1320
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 11: beyond it. It's about it's about building right now with

1321
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 11: a team that's good, it's they're still on the win.

1322
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 11: Whereas I think New England, I think New England's and

1323
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 11: know we can to blow it up. We almost got

1324
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 11: to blow it up. How do you not blow it up? Right?

1325
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 7: You know?

1326
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 11: Because if mac Jones is your answer, then you maybe

1327
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 11: you know you've got up and the Saints are just

1328
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 11: not like them, They just aren't.

1329
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 3: I was going to ask you about New England because

1330
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 3: the whole league is fascinated with what they're going through

1331
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 3: because of how successful they've been and where they are now.

1332
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 3: And I think a lot of people are getting pleasure

1333
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 3: out of that. But whatever the case may be, you

1334
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 3: just watch them up close and personal.

1335
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 4: What do you think they're going through?

1336
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 3: It's not just a quarterback perhaps, or is it all

1337
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 3: about the quarterback? What is your opinion after doing the

1338
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 3: game with New Orleans at New England, Well, they got.

1339
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 11: They got a fan base much like New Orleans obviously

1340
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 11: they're spoiled, rotten. They don't understan they don't they don't

1341
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 11: understand what this world is like every other team that's

1342
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 11: lived for twenty years, and so they are ready to pounce.

1343
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 11: They were quiet, you know, they kind of wanted to

1344
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 11: give us a reason to get in the game. But

1345
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 11: give us a reason to boo and we'll be right

1346
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 11: there as well. And so it's tough. Now you lose

1347
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 11: Matthew Judon and Christian Gonzalez the week before. I mean,

1348
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 11: those are your top two defenders period. But offensively, it's

1349
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 11: it begins with Mac. I mean he's had he's had

1350
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 11: four pick sixes and a strip fumble for He's responsible

1351
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 11: for five defensive touchdowns. And I say he right, So

1352
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 11: he's do He's done four pick sixes into and since

1353
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 11: his in his career. That's how many Tom Brady threw

1354
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 11: in his career at Jillett Stadium, dating back to two

1355
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 11: thousand and two. So, and I think the biggest concern

1356
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 11: they have going forward is Belichick. Right, So Belichick's at

1357
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 11: two ninety nine. He wants to pass Don Shula at

1358
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 11: three twenty eight. That's the goal, so to speak. Now, No,

1359
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 11: he's not set up publicly. But and you're going in

1360
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 11: your head, all right, well, no problem. Well now think

1361
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 11: about it. He was started the year at two ninety eight.

1362
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 11: That means he's got an average ten wins a year

1363
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 11: for three years to tie. I don't know that Kraft's

1364
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 11: got that kind of you know, discipline to because he

1365
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 11: ain't winning ten games a year for three years, so

1366
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 11: it's gonna take him six years. I don't know. So

1367
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 11: it's like it's a decision time up there. That's what

1368
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 11: they're gonna do. But they are living. We understand their world.

1369
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 11: You go post Tom Brady and you go, well, wait,

1370
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 11: we didn't win thirty eight ten. What are we doing here?

1371
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 11: We've been there people. It's tough.

1372
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 3: Mike Host, Voice of the Saints, joining us a couple

1373
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 3: more for you, Mike. The NFC South Texans are in

1374
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 3: a four game stretch right now where they are playing

1375
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 3: the NFC South teams just played Atlanta. You haven't seen

1376
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 3: at Ladda yet this year, But what do you make

1377
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 3: of the division? And I saw what happened with Tampa

1378
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 3: Bay and the Saints. How good is Tampa Bay? They'll

1379
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 3: be here at NRG Stadium a bit later.

1380
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 11: On, you know, It's funny because we're in we are

1381
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 11: in an AFC four game stretch right now. You know,

1382
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 11: we go New England, Houston, Jacksonville on a short week

1383
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 11: than Indianapolis, so we are making our trips to the

1384
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 11: AFC as well. Tampa is not as good as we

1385
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 11: made them. But if you give Baker Mayfield time one,

1386
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 11: he gains confidence, which the Saints gave him too much,

1387
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 11: way too much time. And then if you put pressure

1388
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 11: on him hard on the outside and give him running lanes,

1389
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 11: he will beat you. And quite frankly, the Saints were

1390
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 11: three in the red zone. So those field goals turn

1391
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 11: into touchdowns, that's twenty one points. That's a different ball game.

1392
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 11: But they didn't and so but in New England they

1393
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 11: did turn into touchdowns and it was twenty one points.

1394
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 11: That that's that is the difference in the game. So

1395
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 11: Tampa is not as good as as probably we made

1396
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 11: them look. Atlanta is troublesome as you say, as you

1397
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 11: can say, they can, they can do a lot of things.

1398
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 11: They always somehow either find a way to win like

1399
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 11: they did this past week, or they will somehow find

1400
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 11: a way unbelievably to lose. So they're going to be

1401
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 11: up and down. Carolina is struggling. But you, I mean,

1402
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 11: I've been enormously impressed with you guys, I mean doing

1403
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 11: what you're doing with cjan one hundred and eighty six attempts,

1404
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 11: no picks. I guess we'll find out today a little

1405
01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 11: bit more about Tank Dell and his situation. But you

1406
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 11: know it's this isn't This October is where things will

1407
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 11: really kind of shape up at the NFC South overall,

1408
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 11: clearly better than last year and clearly better than anybody

1409
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 11: thought they would be this year.

1410
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 4: We'll see where things go well except for Carolina maybe,

1411
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 4: But I don't know what people thought they were going

1412
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 4: to be like their own five and you played them

1413
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 4: the Saints did in one twenty to seventeen.

1414
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 3: What'd you make of Bryce Young? The Texans will be

1415
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 3: there soon enough after the buye.

1416
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 11: You know, he's he's kind of he I think he's

1417
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 11: a lot like C. J. Strown. I mean, they both

1418
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,959
Speaker 11: are playing that the game is not bigger than them.

1419
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 11: You have a pick against us. He runs when he

1420
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 11: has to. He doesn't run, uh, you know, because he

1421
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:48,439
Speaker 11: wants to. They're not a great team. Uh he got

1422
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 11: he lost a fumble that the Saints got. I mean

1423
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,919
Speaker 11: the Saints want to turnover battle. I had a couple

1424
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 11: of big plays, but that was a that was a

1425
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 11: very close game. I mean, they punted to us. We

1426
01:02:58,360 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 11: had to be able to keep the ball for like

1427
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 11: four minutes in order to win the game, or we

1428
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 11: had to give it back to them. So they you know,

1429
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 11: I won't say they're better than their zero and five,

1430
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 11: but I believe that bryce you know, is about as expected.

1431
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 11: You know, I don't think you can you can look

1432
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 11: at their losses because they've been beaten pretty badly except

1433
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 11: for our game, and they've played tough teams. They've played Detroit. Uh,

1434
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 11: so you know they'll be it'll be interesting. They'll they

1435
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 11: can be a handful. But if you can get on

1436
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 11: top of them, man, they they've kind of they when

1437
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 11: they have to get into a throw first mentality, that's

1438
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 11: that's not where they're going to be successful.

1439
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 7: Just a right.

1440
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 11: Let me look at CJ. CJ, what do you throw

1441
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 11: for forty seven attempts? Forty four attempts your first two

1442
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 11: games and that's not that's not what you want, right,

1443
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 11: But he throws thirty attempts the next two games? You

1444
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 11: win big.

1445
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1446
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 3: Still try to establish the ground game here, get it going,

1447
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 3: and they stick with it even when it's not working

1448
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 3: because it helps a lot of other things for them.

1449
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 3: But it was tough in Atlanta.

1450
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:57,880
Speaker 12: Tough.

1451
01:03:57,960 --> 01:03:59,959
Speaker 4: They're a little bit more to talk about.

1452
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 7: Expect Yeah.

1453
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 11: No, I think Atlanta's all. I think Atlanta's are good.

1454
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 11: Football can just got better. Just picked up wide receiver

1455
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 11: from the Rams, So I mean they're in.

1456
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 7: Troublesome all right.

1457
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 3: Mike, thanks for the time, great stuff. We appreciate it,

1458
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 3: and we'll see a Sunday all right.

1459
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 2: Mark, thanks, and I wish we played the Saints more

1460
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 2: often for a number of reasons, but I like having

1461
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:19,800

1481
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 13: kind of performed well or did perform well.

1482
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 12: And yeah it was a loss, we know.

1483
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 13: And then we're gonna look ahead to this weekend, the

1484
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:15,440
Speaker 13: Saints coming to town. As Mark Vandermer likes to say.

1485
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 4: They're fat and happy.

1486
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 13: So after a thirty four to nothing drubbing on the

1487
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 13: road of the Patriots, we'll have it under the radar

1488
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 13: Texan from you. And then later on I'm gonna cut

1489
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 13: you loose. I'm gonna reel in our big pal, Jalen Peetree,

1490
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 13: the safety for the Texans. He and I went one

1491
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 13: on one. I did a Drews dozen with him. Had

1492
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 13: some interesting thoughts road trip time. Hey, before we get

1493
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 13: into it, road trip essentials. When you're going on a

1494
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 13: long road trip, what are the snacks you gotta have

1495
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 13: and the drinks.

1496
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 12: Oh, because this comes up with Jalen.

1497
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 2: I always have to have a drink in the car,

1498
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 2: no matter what, and she's usually a Propel zero Gatorade

1499
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 2: or you know some kind of spy love sparkling ice.

1500
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: I gotta have the drink. Worst case I go.

1501
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 2: Just playing bottle of water, which is cool. The snacks

1502
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 2: very just. It kind of deppends. I like combos. I

1503
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 2: love combos as my snack, but I'll eat pretty much

1504
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 2: any kind of good snack. I'm not opposed to having

1505
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 2: the zingers. Oh yeah, you know, the kind of twinkie

1506
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 2: like things. And I like the raspberry coconut once for

1507
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 2: some reason, which some people don't like. But my wife

1508
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 2: and I we drive a lot when we're together. She's

1509
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 2: out in California right now. But when we're together and

1510
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,479
Speaker 2: we take roach, we don't like to fly, so we'd

1511
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 2: like to drive. And so now we drove to my

1512
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 2: mother lost funeral, my wife's mother's funeral. We drove back

1513
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 2: from North Carolina, and I loved it because we hit

1514
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 2: Bojangles in North Carolina, which We're gonna go to North

1515
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 2: Carolina very soon, so get some bow Jangles again. But

1516
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 2: then when we hit the convenience store. It's some combos.

1517
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 2: It's like cheesy crackers. I try to avoid the popcorn

1518
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 2: on the road because the kernel's getting you know, cheeth.

1519
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 2: But I also like some sort of like sar Patch kids,

1520
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 2: sar Patch watermelons, Like if I'm really feeling it, you know,

1521
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 2: but if I'm feeling fat from having eaten too much,

1522
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 2: I stay away from that stuff.

1523
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 13: Oh okay, so you were living large on on on

1524

01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 13: or a diet Mountain due to drink yep. And I

1528
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 13: like beef jerky. I like a if I need my

1529
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 13: get my sugar up a fast break bar made by Reesius.

01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:29,920
Speaker 13: that whole process.

1535
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, so that's my stuff.

1536
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 13: Okay, let's get into cream of the crop crop. Thank you,

1537
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 13: thank you about your man Savage. The Texans fall to

1538
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 13: the Falcons.

1539
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 12: On the road. Man, just a weird game.

1540
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 13: Have a lead at the half, have a lead in

1541
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 13: the second half, then you lose it, then you get

1542
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 13: it back with one forty nine remaining. It was reminiscent

1543
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 13: of a lot of a lot of games from eighteen

1544
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 13: and nineteen and a little bit of seventeen where the

1545
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 13: Texans that offense would leave the field, will lead late

1546
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 13: and then somehow the other team would come back and

1547
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 13: get it. So who is your cream of the crop,

1548
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 13: the cream of the crop winner for today.

1549
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with Dalton Schultz.

1550
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 12: Good one, good one.

1551
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 2: That's where I'm going. With seven catches, had the game

1552
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 2: winning touchdown. You know, I you know how I love

1553
01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 2: the game to be played obviously physically, but cerebrally too.

1554
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 2: And I love when things are set up for future use.

1555
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 2: And they were setting up Jesse Bates all game. They

1556
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 2: were inviting him down. Now Baits almost got one. Thank

1557
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,560
Speaker 2: god Robert Woods played defensive back at one point in

1558
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 2: his life, because he got that ball out of there.

1559
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 2: But they set Jesse Bates up with a route that

1560
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 2: they had been running and have run before, where Dalton

1561
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:46,839
Speaker 2: is running the basic router an in route and instead

1562
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,799
Speaker 2: of running just an inn. He went in, got baits

1563
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 2: to bite, and he went in and deep, in and out.

1564
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 1: I hope they called it that.

1565
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 2: I hope they called it like burger or something like that,

1566
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 2: like in and out burger, because that's what essentially was

1567
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:02,440
Speaker 2: he It was a great route, great.

1568
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: Catch because he had the other safety that was.

1569
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 2: Starting to close a little bit because CJ couldn't rip

1570
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 2: it and he didn't want to float it.

1571
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: So it's kind of an in between his kind of

1572
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 1: two ball, and he ended up making a catch before

1573
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,640
Speaker 1: the staftsy could get there. But Dalton was he was

1574
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 1: seven to eleven. He was open a lot of the day.

1575
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 2: And I think that's gonna happen more often because teams

1576
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 2: are gonna be super conscious of conscious of Nico Collins

1577
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 2: and then of Robert Woods on third down in particular,

1578
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 2: and then Tank Dell going deep. I think that's gonna

1579
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 2: open some things up for Dalton Schultz on these tight ends.

1580
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 2: And Dalton took advantage against Atlanta for sure. So I'm

1581
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 2: gonna go with Dalton Schultz. Is my creaming a cropper?

1582
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1583
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:38,680
Speaker 13: I like that choice, you know, And we've kind of

1584
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 13: touched on this in previous weeks. It was just a

1585
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 13: matter of time, I thought for him to have one

1586
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 13: of those type of games because you just touched, you

1587
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,679
Speaker 13: just mentioned it. There's so many options now in this offense,

1588
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 13: and if a defense decides to take some certain aspect

1589
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 13: of it away, like Nico Collins had a quieter day

1590
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 13: than he did last week and than he did in

1591
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 13: week two. So I think because of that a lot

1592
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 13: of a lot of times, that's going to open things

1593
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:04,719
Speaker 13: up for somebody else. And I think Dalton was Dalton

1594
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 13: was a guy that benefited from that, you know.

1595
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 2: Yep, absolutely, And I think that's I think that's kind

1596
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 2: of the evolution of this offense as we go forward,

1597
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 2: and that is you take this away from us, well

1598
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 2: we're going to go to this, and you take this

1599
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 2: away from us, We're going to go to that.

1600
01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 1: You take that away from us, well we're going to

1601
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:20,600
Speaker 1: go back to this.

1602
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:22,560
Speaker 2: There's going to be so much that you're going to

1603
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 2: be able to bring to it, hopefully that you can

1604
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 2: then be a complete offense, be it run game, pass game,

1605
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 2: tight ends, pass game, why shoot, pass game, all three

1606
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 2: levels in the past game, all that you got to

1607
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 2: be able to have and be able to peel those

1608
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:40,599
Speaker 2: layers back. And I know, many many years ago when

1609
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 2: I was doing a coaching thing, that was what I wanted. Okay,

1610
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 2: the first quarter, I would kind of say, all right,

1611
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 2: what are they trying to take away?

1612
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 1: Okay, they want to take this away? All right, well

1613
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:48,920
Speaker 1: here's our counter to that.

1614
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 2: All right, here's something we worked on practice anticipating that

1615
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 2: they were going to take this away.

1616
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 1: So let's go to this.

1617
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden you kind of got

1618
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 2: them where you want them, and now you hit them

1619
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 2: with everything, and now they're like, whoa, we don't know

1620
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 2: how to stop this. And that's kind to where this offense,

1621
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 2: I would hope is is planning to go to where

1622
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 2: every single aspect you're hit We Willy Keeler form Baltimore

1623
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 2: Orio long long time ago. Hit him where they ain't.

1624
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 2: It's kind of that. It's like, hit him where they ain't.

1625
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 2: They go nickel, run at them. You know, if they

1626
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 2: go base throw two tight ends, they want to clamp

1627
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 2: down and press, throw deep beyond them. You know, whatever

1628
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 2: they throw, whatever test question they throw at you, you

1629
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:23,599
Speaker 2: have the answer.

1630
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 12: That's nice.

1631
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,599
Speaker 13: I like, I always love a good Baltimore Orioles pre

1632
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:28,679
Speaker 13: Major League baseball.

1633
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:29,799
Speaker 12: Well Baltimore Orioles.

1634
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 13: Reference was when they were not in Major League Baseball. Okay,

1635
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 13: mine is kind of sort of complicated. Mine goes to

1636
01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 13: the past protection.

1637
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:40,719
Speaker 1: Okay, that's not complicated.

1638
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 12: That that's good. Think about that.

1639
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 13: For the third straight week no sacks allowed. Texans have

1640
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 13: never done that in franchise history. They never go three

1641
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 13: games in a row without giving up a sack. This

1642
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 13: is the first time that's happened. And they did it

1643
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 13: again with a new unit. It wasn't like I'm thinking

1644
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,559
Speaker 13: about it. The best offensive line in team history. Probably

1645
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 13: that twenty eleven bunch. I think we and agree on that.

1646
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 13: Even they did not do this and they pretty much

1647
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 13: played together most of the year. I'd have to go

1648
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:10,640
Speaker 13: back and look, there were some swapouts with Brizel. He

1649
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 13: got injured a few times and he had to come out.

1650
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 13: But this is the third different combo we've seen in

1651
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 13: as many weeks, and really, I don't think they've had

1652
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 13: the same combo. I think you've had five different combos

1653
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 13: each time. Maybe I'd have to go back a line

1654
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 13: at that.

1655
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, weeks two and three were the same.

1656
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:26,799
Speaker 12: Where are they Okay?

1657
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: So I think, yeah, pretty sure.

1658
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:33,880
Speaker 13: So nevertheless, three straight weeks no sacks allowed, especially with

1659
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:36,759
Speaker 13: a rookie quarterback who had gone you'd gotten dropped eleven

1660
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:40,480
Speaker 13: times in the first two games. So shout out Chris Strausser.

1661
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:42,640
Speaker 13: Shout out to the O line this week that was

1662
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 13: out there. They all started and played every single snap offensively,

1663
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 13: as did Stroud. And then on the other side of

1664
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 13: the ball, there's some guys three like the secondary played

1665
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 13: every snap, the two corners and the two safeties that started.

1666
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:56,639
Speaker 13: But I got to go with that pass protection because

1667
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 13: that is no small feat. It doesn't matter if you're

1668
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:02,680
Speaker 13: playing a team that has a TJ. Watt or a

1669
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:05,599
Speaker 13: team like the Falcons who don't have as many notable names,

1670
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:07,599
Speaker 13: they can still get after the passer. So I got

1671
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 13: to go with them. Now they all agree, they'll all say, hey,

1672
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 13: the damn's got to break sometime soon. On the run game,

1673
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 13: we've got to get things going and run the ball better,

1674
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:17,719
Speaker 13: they'll tell you that. But as far as pass pro goes,

1675
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:20,640
Speaker 13: I've been very, very impressed.

1676
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, there have been many years, the last few years

1677
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 2: in particular, where a team would rush four, we'd have

1678
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,400
Speaker 2: five to block and somebody would get home. And now

1679
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:35,720
Speaker 2: you rush four you're not getting close. Those guys I

1680
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 2: thought played very very well together, And you're right, And

1681
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:41,880
Speaker 2: I've thought about this a lot, Drew. I've thought about

1682
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 2: what what is harder, too, what's harder to do in

1683
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 2: this offense to be a great run blocking unit or

1684
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:54,960
Speaker 2: to be a great pass blocking unit. And I've always

1685
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 2: kind of thought that pass blocking would be a lot

1686
01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 2: more difficult because you slide protection just protections, your five

1687
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:03,599
Speaker 2: zero protections, all the different type of protections you have,

1688
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 2: and then teams start getting exotic on third down, so

1689
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 2: you're doing some maybe specific things to that particular team,

1690
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 2: whereas run.

1691
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 1: Block who you follow your rules, you know.

1692
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 2: But I think in this offense it's probably a little

1693
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 2: bit more difficult to get that synergy in the run game.

1694
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 2: I feel like those links in the chain have got

1695
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,559
Speaker 2: to all be moving together to really get it going.

1696
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 2: And I think that's part of the reason to your

1697
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:29,080
Speaker 2: point earlier this you know, if we go with the

1698
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 2: same offensive line this week, that'll be just the second

1699
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 2: time we've had consecutive starting offensive lines that are the same.

1700
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:39,080
Speaker 2: And I think that's where we're going to start to

1701
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:41,840
Speaker 2: see some of the continuity and the run games start

1702
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 2: to pay off. Continuity in the offensive line start to

1703
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 2: pay off. So you know, we'll see how that how

1704
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 2: that transpires. But you've had four different offensive lines in

1705
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 2: five weeks. I mean you don't get synergy that way.

1706
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 2: I mean you don't get continuity that way. You're teaching

1707
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 2: things the same way, and coach Strauser and Coole Papovich,

1708
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 2: coach Popovic or or coach it together the same way.

1709
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:04,639
Speaker 1: But it's different personnel.

1710
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 2: So there are things you can do with Titus that

1711
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:08,680
Speaker 2: you maybe couldn't do with Kendrick, or some things you

1712
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 2: do with Kendrick that you don't do with Titus, et cetera.

1713
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 1: So you got to put all that together and try

1714
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 1: and get it going. But you're right.

1715
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:18,599
Speaker 2: The pass protection, though, has been I mean it was

1716
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 2: it was Stella three straight weeks with how many different

1717
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:26,839
Speaker 2: starting offensive lineman. I mean, if with it's it's seven

1718
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 2: different starting offensive lineman the last three or four week,

1719
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:32,559
Speaker 2: the last three or four games, it's been incredible to

1720
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 2: do that.

1721
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:36,799
Speaker 13: Look at who's played left tackle this year. Yeah, exactly,

1722
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 13: Josh Jones, I mean the list goes on and on.

1723
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:44,000
Speaker 2: Yeahculous, Yeah, Christian played there in the game against the Steelers.

1724
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's incredible what they've been able to do.

1725
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 12: Yeah, okay, let's flip the page.

1726
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:51,800
Speaker 13: Let's turn it over to the Saints coming to town.

1727
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:57,639
Speaker 13: Saints are man thirty four to nothing. They start things

1728
01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 13: off with a tyron Matthew six, and they scored in

1729
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:03,000
Speaker 13: every quarter.

1730
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 12: They never trailed. It's hard to trail when you don't

1731
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 12: give up a point. Yeah, picked off.

1732
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:13,440
Speaker 13: They picked off mac Jones twice. They get three takeaways,

1733
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 13: and on top of all that, they basically doubled them

1734
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:19,559
Speaker 13: up time of possession. They they'd the ball for thirty

1735
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 13: nine minutes and twenty four seconds. Goodness gracious, that's a drumming.

1736
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 12: Now.

1737
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 13: Listen, we know Patriots are down, They're not who they

1738
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:30,640
Speaker 13: used to be. But I don't care. Man, that's a

1739
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 13: that's a whooping that you just put on a team

1740
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 13: on the road, long flight. It's a tough place to play,

1741
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 13: just no matter who's you know suiting up in that

1742
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 13: Patriot uniform. But who's your under the radar Texan that

1743
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:45,719
Speaker 13: you gotta watch this week.

1744
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:51,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm not gonna pick up specific linebacker because

1745
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:53,800
Speaker 2: we don't know the status of Christian Harris, but I'm

1746
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 2: going with I'm going with the linebacker crew with because

1747
01:16:58,920 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 2: of one guy.

1748
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 1: Now, then that's the that's the human option route, and

1749
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:04,599
Speaker 1: that's Calvin. It's Alvin Kamara.

1750
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 2: I mean he's you know, for people that don't know

1751
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 2: what option out is, it's pretty simple. He has the

1752
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 2: option to go in or out depending on what the

1753
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 2: coverage is. And so he's so quick and so good

1754
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 2: and explosive that it's very difficult for linebackers to cover

1755
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 2: him because he gets up on them, they freeze and

1756
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,480
Speaker 2: then he fakes one way, goes the other and they're lost.

1757
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 2: And that's an easy seven yards and now he's back.

1758
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 2: He runs the ball extremely well. It's it's really tough

1759
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 2: and that puts the onus on the linebackers to have

1760
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 2: to handle that. Now, Derek like, can he Pickett not

1761
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 2: gonna run out of the pocket very much. He can

1762
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 2: when he needs to, but it's kind of a last

1763
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:44,760
Speaker 2: resort sort of thing. Whereas Ritter was going to do

1764
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 2: it a little bit more. He didn't have to do

1765
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:48,519
Speaker 2: it as much the other day. But I think the

1766
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 2: linebackers with Kamara, that's going to be tough. Foster Moreau

1767
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 2: catching the ball as at tight end that's going to

1768
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 2: be tough. So I think the linebackers have their hands

1769
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 2: full trying to tangle with Alvin Kamara, especially this week.

1770
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 12: That's a good one.

1771
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 13: Uh Mine is going to be kind of along those

1772
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 13: lines because of that threat from Kremer.

1773
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 12: I'm gonna go with Jalen Petrie.

1774
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 13: I think he'll get He'll get thrown in that mix

1775
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:12,800
Speaker 13: of being having a responsibility for him too, and I

1776
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,639
Speaker 13: want to see the Texans get a goodness gracious, I'm

1777
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 13: going to send out this email here in the next

1778
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:20,640
Speaker 13: few hours and I send you Deep and Mark and

1779
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:21,719
Speaker 13: it's the plus minus.

1780
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 12: It's the turnover differential.

1781
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that.

1782
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 13: I said once a week on Tuesdays every season. I've

1783
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 13: been doing it for about five years now. Texans, I

1784
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 13: don't I haven't looked yet, but they've got to be

1785
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:34,519
Speaker 13: up even higher. They were top ten and turnover differential

1786
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:37,840
Speaker 13: going into last week and then they're plus two.

1787
01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 6: They lose.

1788
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 13: They helped Bijon Robbs that that's gonna be a segment,

1789
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:46,719
Speaker 13: not a segment, but a part of this podcast moving forward.

1790
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 12: The what if I told you? Yeah, whereas what if.

1791
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 13: I told you the Texans were plus two? They held

1792
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 13: Bejeon Robinson to less than one hundred yards, and I'm

1793
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 13: gonna start doing that because we can drive ourselves crazy

1794
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:01,840
Speaker 13: and make ourselves manic by by going over the what

1795
01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:04,680
Speaker 13: if I told you and then something bad happens?

1796
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that was one of those that what

1797
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:09,799
Speaker 2: if I told you you're gonna hold Bijon to what?

1798
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 1: What do you have? Fifty yards? Not even?

1799
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:12,439
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1800
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 2: What have I told you're gonna win a turnover battle?

1801
01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 2: What if I told you that you weren't going to

1802
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,639
Speaker 2: turn the ball over at all? I like, well, yeah,

1803
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:22,840
Speaker 2: you're gonna wing, You're gonna wing going away.

1804
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 12: Will get sacked?

1805
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, no sacks, Yeah exactly. I mean now the flip

1806
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 2: side of all that was you didn't run the box

1807
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 2: actually well yeah, and you didn't get any sacks on them. Yeah,

1808
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 2: And Desmie Ridder played out of his freaking mind, And

1809
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:40,280
Speaker 2: I was happy for him from that standpoint.

1810
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 12: That guy's good played.

1811
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 2: But I have a lot of respect for desnit Ridder,

1812
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:46,280
Speaker 2: and I hope that he turned into a really good

1813
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 2: quarterback for the Falcons.

1814
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:49,360
Speaker 12: How about that stat that you guys brought up.

1815
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 13: And we're gonna move on to uh, to some other things,

1816
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 13: but how about that stat y'all brought up with Andre

1817
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 13: Ware on the radio yesterday. He has not lost a

1818
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 13: home game in college with the pros, and who knows,

1819
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 13: I can't. I wonder what his high school. I can

1820
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:05,040
Speaker 13: look that up probably, but yeah, that's a that's an amazing.

1821
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:08,600
Speaker 2: Starty thirty one and oh at home thirty one and

1822
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 2: oh at home.

1823
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:12,559
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's unbelievable. I mean, that's incredible. But

1824
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 1: the thing was is, you know, you could look back.

1825
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 2: At his Cincinnati career and say, Okay, there were times,

1826
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:18,599
Speaker 2: you know, he had Sauce Gardner, you know, on defense,

1827
01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:20,280
Speaker 2: and they had some other dudes on defense, so there

1828
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:23,599
Speaker 2: were times, Okay, they won a few games that way.

1829
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 1: But he was so good on Sunday against US.

1830
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 2: I mean it was the one kind of variable I

1831
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 2: don't see you counted out. But you know, there's been

1832
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:33,719
Speaker 2: so much noise about him not being the starting quarterback

1833
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:35,160
Speaker 2: and then he rises up and has one of the

1834
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:37,439
Speaker 2: best performances we've seen from a quarterback this year.

1835
01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it.

1875
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 7: guy played nineteen years man. And the thing about he

1876
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 7: broke my record, he didn't missed a game and I

1877
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:41,639
Speaker 7: didn't miss a game.

1878
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's right, you know.

1879
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:45,680
Speaker 15: But I thought about that yesterday because we were in

1880
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:49,960
Speaker 15: Atlanta and they announced at some point that Bruce's son Jake,

1881
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:54,479
Speaker 15: has played one hundred fifty straight games or something like

1882
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 15: that on.

1883
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:57,160
Speaker 4: Top of what Bruce did. So how many did you

1884
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 4: play in a row ten years?

1885
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 7: I think it was the one hundred and seventy five

1886
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:05,639
Speaker 7: seventy six miss snap, never missed a snap?

1887
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 4: Now you could have gone on longer, right.

1888
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:10,360
Speaker 7: Yes, but you know, I made the idea that I

1889
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:13,559
Speaker 7: need to retire, so long stir, we won't get into that. Okay,

1890
01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:15,920
Speaker 7: another part of me that I think you used to

1891
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 7: want to hear it today.

1892
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 4: Okay, So how long did it take Robert to don't

1893
01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 4: get in that story?

1894
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 2: But how long did it take for the desire to

1895
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 2: want to continue to play kind of leave at some

1896
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 2: point because guys retired, They're like, man, I think I

1897
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:31,840
Speaker 2: could still play.

1898
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:32,639
Speaker 6: I think can still play.

1899
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 2: How long did it take for it to be like,

1900
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm good, My career was great.

1901
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 4: I'm all set for me.

1902
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 7: It happened at the Hall of Fame game. You know,

1903
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 7: I was in my eleven year and I had never

1904
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 7: missed a game, started every game for the Houston Llars.

1905
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:52,040
Speaker 7: And two hours before the game, I get a can

1906
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 7: can you Houston? Walk to me? Tell me? The head

1907
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 7: coach wants to talk to me, And I say, WHOA,

1908
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 7: what's going on in my head? That never miss? So

1909
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 7: I go to him and he told me that he's

1910
01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 7: going to start the younger guys. And I looked at it.

1911
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:08,280
Speaker 7: You came when I said, as a red now, Robert

1912
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:11,640
Speaker 7: Brazil is going to retire right now. So that was

1913
01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:14,120
Speaker 7: my ending of it, and I had to make a

1914
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 7: decision for me. You know, I had lost his wife

1915
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:19,439
Speaker 7: and everything during that time, and so I think I

1916
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 7: made the right decision for me. But it took too

1917
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 7: long for me to get into the Pro Football Hall

1918
01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 7: of Fame. I got scared.

1919
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:28,760
Speaker 4: I waiting, but you got in. But the resume was

1920
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 4: great enough.

1921
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:30,680
Speaker 7: To get it. I had, you know. But the thing

1922
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:33,839
Speaker 7: about it, I always wanted to play against Lawrence Taylor,

1923
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 7: and he was also in that same game, and me

1924
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 7: and him had talked before that game. I said, Lawrence,

1925
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:41,720
Speaker 7: I think it's time for us to show who's going

1926
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 7: to be the better line back and front. And so

1927
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:45,080
Speaker 7: I never got my shot.

1928
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, that would have been so nice.

1929
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 7: This week, we're still friends.

1930
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:49,519
Speaker 12: And you are.

1931
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:52,479
Speaker 3: That's good and you look back and sacks were not

1932
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 3: an official statistic till what eighty two, right, So that

1933
01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:58,519
Speaker 3: didn't help you either as far as although you made

1934
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 3: all those probe all pros, you're in the Hall of Fame,

1935
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 3: So I guess it didn't really hurt. But that must

1936
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 3: have been kind of strange when, oh, now you're tell me.

1937
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:08,400
Speaker 7: That now counting my sex, I said, let's go back

1938
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 7: there and you pull little films up so launce. Uh.

1939
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:14,799
Speaker 7: You know, he always he was. I was this idol

1940
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 7: to the point that he wanted to meet me. We

1941
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:20,280
Speaker 7: both had the same agent, Jared Augavich and Genie Brown

1942
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:23,599
Speaker 7: during that time, and he would not sign until I

1943
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 7: went to his college to sit down for him to

1944
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:29,880
Speaker 7: bust my brains for three hours about football. And we

1945
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 7: sit there and laugh and talk, and he took Robert

1946
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 7: brazil game to another level. Honestly. You know, they couldn't

1947
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:38,840
Speaker 7: say about a lot of junk yard dog, but he

1948
01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 7: was really a junk yard dog when it came to

1949
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:44,000
Speaker 7: playing outside football. Yeah, he definitely was so Rober.

1950
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:45,679
Speaker 2: I want to go to the moment that you find

1951
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 2: out that you've made the Hall of Fame, When you

1952
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:51,519
Speaker 2: get that call, you get that knock. What was that like?

1953
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 7: You got to think about it took twenty nine years.

1954
01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 7: Every other year we're getting I get to say there

1955
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:01,720
Speaker 7: in the final in the this Yeah, when they called me,

1956
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:06,679
Speaker 7: I cried. I mean, you know, because I wanted this

1957
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:10,240
Speaker 7: so much. We had been through so much that year.

1958
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:14,519
Speaker 7: My dad had been diagnosed for cancer, and I'm saying,

1959
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 7: what I'm gonna do. I don't have bomb to present me.

1960
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:20,439
Speaker 7: I don't have none of my coaches here that really

1961
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 7: paid a big, a big part of me. So I

1962
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:28,559
Speaker 7: took it to I mean, it just overwhelmed me. But

1963
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:32,200
Speaker 7: we validated everything that I have waited so long for.

1964
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:35,640
Speaker 7: And to not to show some emotion, I don't think

1965
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:38,200

1972
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:00,960
Speaker 3: Walter Payton. You probably didn't have too many meetups with

1973
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:02,200
Speaker 3: Walter because he's in the NFC.

1974
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:04,639
Speaker 7: He had four years of practice against him every day,

1975
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:06,799
Speaker 7: every day, every day and had to sleep in the same.

1976

Speaker 4: Room because college.

1977
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:12,120

1978
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 4: That's true, that's true. But as a pro, how many

1979
01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 4: times did you guys see each other?

1980
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:19,880
Speaker 7: I gave him third of one. I don't know the

1981
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:23,559
Speaker 7: exact number, but they came here and we played Houston,

1982
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:26,360
Speaker 7: and I had I instead of Walter, and I knew Walter,

1983
01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:29,320
Speaker 7: and I got my defense ready for Walter, and I

1984
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:32,080

1985
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 7: ain't gonna let you get there before today. So somewhere

1986
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:38,040
Speaker 7: in there he got crap was going for to break

1987
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 7: the record, O Jay's record. I know he was gonna

1988
01:27:42,040 --> 01:27:44,320
Speaker 7: try to get against me. You knew I was gonna

1989
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 7: not let him happen, so he would not speak to

1990
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 7: him after the game.

1991
01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:50,840
Speaker 4: Really that competitive.

1992
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 7: That's that's how that's the competitive we had. My wife

1993
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 7: had to take me by the hand and take me

1994
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:57,200
Speaker 7: up on the bus and say, speak to Walter, make

1995
01:27:57,280 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 7: him feel better before he leaves leave Uston going back

1996
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 7: to Chicago with that, that means that he's gonna get

1997
01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:06,559
Speaker 7: you back somewhere or another. Yeah. Okay.

1998
01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:09,600
Speaker 4: To Mars's question, O j or Franco tougher to tackle.

1999
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:11,800
Speaker 7: Neither one both of the sandwiches.

2000
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:16,680
Speaker 4: All right, let's do quarterbacks. Let's do quarterbacks.

2001
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:19,559
Speaker 3: How many times did you see Tarkentin because he must

2002
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:20,920
Speaker 3: have been tough if you saw him.

2003
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 7: No, No, I didn't. We My hardest one with I

2004
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 7: would think would have been Roger the Dodger. Yeah, Yep,

2005
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 7: I did TV Sandwich all right, Bradshaw, Yeah, ye, Ken Anderson,

2006
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:43,839
Speaker 7: I can't tell you how to tax him one time. Yeah,

2007
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:46,760
Speaker 7: but uh it was fun. Man. It's very competitive and

2008
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 7: still I think Ken and is deserving to be in

2009
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:51,600
Speaker 7: the Hall of Fame, and it's not that yet.

2010
01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:54,799
Speaker 4: Standing quarterbacks, no doubt for the Cincinnati Bengals, Yep.

2011
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:55,400
Speaker 7: Yeah he was.

2012
01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 4: When you start going through those names.

2013
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:02,720
Speaker 2: Obviously Roger Starbach was a different one because he's kind

2014
01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:03,800
Speaker 2: of like today's quarterbacks.

2015
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:05,200
Speaker 6: They're moving all over the place.

2016
01:29:05,200 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 2: He was, but you were straight dropback passers back then,

2017
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:12,759
Speaker 2: Robert did you Was it more fun to go against

2018
01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 2: those guys because you knew exactly where they were going

2019
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 2: to be so you could sack them, or is it

2020
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:19,280
Speaker 2: more of a challenge to go find Roger Starbach chasing

2021
01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:21,000
Speaker 2: around over the field and you finally you sack them

2022
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:21,639
Speaker 2: after chasing.

2023
01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:23,440
Speaker 7: Them a little bit. I don't care who was that quarterback.

2024
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:27,000
Speaker 7: I want them to know in two and a half seconds,

2025
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 7: they need to know where Robert was dealing at I'm

2026
01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:32,320
Speaker 7: coming in right. I didn't care who it was, So

2027
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:35,360
Speaker 7: it was more fun for me to get off in

2028
01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:38,519
Speaker 7: my game and more lessened to their game. I always

2029
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:41,680
Speaker 7: was so ready to show them what I had to

2030
01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:42,479
Speaker 7: bang to the table.

2031
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 3: All right, we watched practice now, Robert, and you're really

2032
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:48,919
Speaker 3: not bringing people to the ground. You're not really tackling

2033
01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:52,080
Speaker 3: them at training camp and certainly not in regular season practice.

2034
01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:53,880
Speaker 3: It's more of a wrap up or thud or whatever

2035
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:56,680
Speaker 3: they call it. But back in the day, you and

2036
01:29:56,760 --> 01:30:00,799
Speaker 3: Earl going at it in practice. How was that facing

2037
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 3: Earl Campbell when the Oilers practiced? And how physical would

2038
01:30:04,360 --> 01:30:08,599
Speaker 3: it get, especially in the early summer training camp times.

2039
01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:09,679
Speaker 4: How was that.

2040
01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:12,400
Speaker 7: When when Earth first got here? You know, I was

2041
01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:15,840
Speaker 7: used to walk the first of all one twenty miles

2042
01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:18,360
Speaker 7: hour every play we got here, and I went and

2043
01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:22,759
Speaker 7: hit ear Bomb, blew his whistle and he said, Robert

2044
01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:27,160
Speaker 7: called me in low. I said, coach ICs Rohan, He said, Robert,

2045
01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:31,479

01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:36,599

01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:45,240
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say this again, the Houston all, this is

Speaker 2: the Love Your Blue era really kind of kicking off.

2059
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:12,920
Speaker 2: What was that really like for a player during that

2060
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:14,719
Speaker 2: time to be here during that era?

2061
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:18,120
Speaker 7: For me, it was to try to win every game

2062
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:21,120
Speaker 7: in an astronome and then when we went off to
