1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,559
Speaker 1: To be able to take it to that next level.

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: That's what I'm excited about. Bos All wide open across

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: the five peas. In touchdown, Houston fires a ready. This

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: is intercepted back to back possessions with picks for this

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: Texas defense. Takeaway number three on the day. Game day

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: is every day, five nights a week. They hits keep

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: on coming. No, it's Texans all excess. What's going on? Everybody?

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: Welcome in through Wednesday they show Texans All access from

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: the Honday Texans radio studio. I am your host, John

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: Harris Football No Side reporter for your Houston Texans. So

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: glad to be with you, yes on this wonderful Wednesday evening,

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: A sultry, smarmy, high humid Wednesday evening. It's always hot

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: where I'm at. I am, I'm always sweating. It's sours,

14
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: so it seems even if I'm inside. That said, welcome in,

15
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: appreciate you being here, jam Pack show, Mark and I.

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: We got a lot of things to talk about, in

17
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: particular Nick Chubb's decision that may have cost the Browns

18
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: a game. We'll debate that a little bit later on.

19
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: Actually we don't debate that. We're kind of on the

20
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: same side of that. But we's just discuss what happened

21
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: and how the Browns went from being a shirt to

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: an oh to being one and one, which we love.

23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: Like I said to Ferry teams Texans, who ever plays

24
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: the Browns. We got Rasheem Green coming for a deep

25
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: slant interview of the week with deep citters, so we

26
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: got that before to Jeff Joniac is one of the

27
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: better play by play man in the league. He is

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: a absolute joy to be around. I guess she has

29
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: to meet up to Combine back in twenty twenty and

30
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: loved him. He is fantastic. He will join us for

31
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: our men behind the mikes. We got a little in

32
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: the lab and then we'll go around the NFL. But

33
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: we kick off today's show on a Wednesday, as we

34
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: typically do with one Nick Cassario GM your Houston Texans.

35
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: Let's dive right in with Nick. Two games play Nick

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: and defensively definitely good low point totals for the opponents.

37
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: I know you weren't able to close out these games,

38
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: but fourth quarter leads. Tell us your thoughts through two. Yeah,

39
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: we're close, just haven't been able to finish. Like you

40
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: mentioned some areas we've played a little bit better than others.

41
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: There's certainly been some positives I think overall as a team,

42
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, we just have to execute in a fourth

43
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: quarter to take advantage the opportunities and we get them defensively,

44
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: play good in the red area, played good, pretty good

45
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: on third down here over the first two weeks. May

46
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: able to take the ball away to make some adjustments

47
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: or some improvements in a running game. It would certainly

48
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: be a challenge this week with Chicago's running attack in

49
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: Montgoverner specifically and offensively, you just trying to find a

50
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: way to move the ball and score points some Ultimately,

51
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: that's what offensive football is about, just trying to figure

52
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: out a way to do that. So trying to get

53
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: to work this week and see if we make some

54
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: improvements and see if we make some progress against a

55
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: pretty good Bears team that probably not a lot of

56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: people know about, but they've got a lot of good players.

57
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: So certainly a challenge in front of us. Nick, we'll

58
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: get to the Bears in a little bit. Your thoughts

59
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: about the young guys in secondary particular, Derek going up

60
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: against Courtless for a lot of that game on Sunday,

61
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: and I don't think people really truly understand how good

62
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: or receiver recording Sutton is and what a test that

63
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: was for Derek. What'd you think when you went back

64
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: and watch the film. Yeah, playing corner in the NFL,

65
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: it's it's probably one of the most difficult jobs. So

66
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good players on the offensive side

67
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: of the ball. And we saw you watch the games

68
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: last night. I mean digs, I mean, whether it's Aj Brown,

69
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: there's a good receiver on the opposing team, Mooney this week,

70
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 1: every team every week. So how we match that, how

71
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: we play that defensively, it's probably gonna change week to week.

72
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: But there's gonna be challenges when you play in the perimeter,

73
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: and it's about really having a short term memory, and

74
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: there's gonna make it. They're gonna be contested catches and

75
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna make a play. We're gonna make a play.

76
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: But that's just the reality of playing corner in this league.

77
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: So each week's gonna be its own set of challenges.

78
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: I would say Sutton to your point, John, it's probably

79
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: good a receiver in the league that not too many

80
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: people talk about. I mean, he's big, he's strong, he's fast,

81
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: he's got strong hands. So those are the challenges you're

82
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: gonna face each week when you play corner. Usually the

83
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: opposing team is gonna have a pretty good player and

84
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to stop and when it matters most,

85
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: how about the pass rush. A couple of offseason acquisitions

86
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes last week and then of course Rashime Green

87
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: this week paying dividends for you. I know it's a

88
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: stat sheet thing, but it's not all about the stat

89
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: sheet yet it's nice to see that. Yeah, it's not

90
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: all about stats. Sometimes it's just about being able to

91
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: disrupt the quarterback. Doesn't necessarily translate into sacks or a

92
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: quarterback hurries, but it's saying Rashim's case and took advantage

93
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: of opportunities there on Sunday. Couldn't play the first week,

94
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: kind of miss some time there in training camp, but

95
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: he's had over the course of his career, he's shown

96
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: a different points the ability to affect the quarterback in

97
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: a positive vein, whether it's from the perimeter as an

98
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: edge rusher or inside as a kind of an interior rusher,

99
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: depending on the packaging situation. But he's got good size,

100
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: he's got pretty good length, he runs well, fairly instinctive players,

101
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: So we were happy that we were able to get

102
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: Rashim on the team. Hopefully it translates into consistent production,

103
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: excuse me, production week to week. So with Mario kind

104
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: of being out here for a little bit, I mean,

105
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: there's an opportunity so between him, JG and Jerry, so

106
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: that group hopefully can provide us some positive place here,

107
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: you know when we need it. In the run game, Nick,

108
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: we've talked about this a lot about U see him

109
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: proving the run game. He had some pops, I mean

110
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: some big pops in the run game. I think Damien's

111
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: first ten runs I think he was like five yards

112
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: of carry, I believe. What do you think about how

113
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: he ran the ball and how the offensive line going

114
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: against a different type front hencing at three four front

115
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 1: much How did you think that all went together? Yeah,

116
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: certainly some positives. You know when you average four and

117
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: a half almost five yards of carry. So it's a

118
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: combination of the offensive line doing a good job executing

119
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: their blocks, the backs reading the play. There was a

120
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: couple of run reads that probably could have gone a

121
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: different way. Maybe could have read the play maybe a

122
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: little bit better, but that comes with experience. But I

123
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: think the ability to push the pile and came kind

124
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: of those extra yards after contact. There's certainly something that

125
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: we're able to do on Sunday. To your point, a

126
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: different front structure that we saw last week. This week

127
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: it's going to be not our defense, but more closer

128
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: to our defense or kind of like love you mentioned

129
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: the other day. I believe it's kind of in the

130
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: same family here a little bit so that, but that's

131
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: each week we're gonna have to figure out what's the front,

132
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: how are we going to run the ball, what are

133
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: some of the runs that suit that front, and to

134
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: be able to go out there and execute them. And

135
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, we showed the ability to do that when

136
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: given the opportunity on Sunday against Denver Nick the passing attack,

137
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: I know you're not where you want to be on

138
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: third down in that game anyway. And what's it going

139
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: to take to improve in that category and overall collectively

140
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: through the air. Yeah, as a team, it's just going

141
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: to come down to basic execution. So you know, there's

142
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: a timing element, there's an understanding the play, understanding the coverage,

143
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: understanding where we go with the football each play, it's

144
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: going to change what happens post snap and being able

145
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: to anticipate what the defense is going to do. So

146
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: there's no magic formula. It's going to take a lot

147
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: of work, and it's about executing executing the plays properly

148
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: and then taking advantages of though opportunities when we get them,

149
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: and relative to third down, trying to keep an imanageable situations,

150
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: which we were able to do that. You know, we

151
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: didn't execute the short yardage play. We had a couple

152
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: other third and call at lesson four where probably done

153
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: a little bit better job executing the play, we'll be

154
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: able to stand the field, which sustained drives excuse the

155
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: opportunity kind of getting in the end zone. So overall,

156
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: as a team, we just have to focus on our

157
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: execution and get better in the areas that you know

158
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: we need to improve. Other than asking you about rookies,

159
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: is my favorite time of the week is when I

160
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: ask you about the next team, because I know by

161
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: the time we've talked to you, you put that game

162
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: in the review mirror and asked Chicago Bears, and it's

163
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: a team that we know probably a little bit about

164
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: because Matt Eberflus was defensive coordina for the Colts and

165
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: Colts a few times. But on the flip side, we

166
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: haven't played the Bear Bears much at all and they've

167
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: got justin fields pulling the triggers to Nick. What are

168
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: your thoughts about the Bears where their strengths coming into

169
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: this one against US? Yeah, I'd say it's it's been

170
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: an interesting team to study over the last you know,

171
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: a few weeks or so. So we'll start at the

172
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: top with you know, Matt, so Coach Eberflus is really good.

173
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: Coach m was a good coordinator there um in Indianapolis

174
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: for a long time. He was with coach Pinkel at

175
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: Toledo and then Missouri, and he actually started his career

176
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, I believe with coach Mangini under Robert and

177
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: Rob Ryan was the defensive coordina at a time, so

178
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: they're more three or four principles. And eventually when he

179
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: got to Dallas kind of transitioned there a little bit

180
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: with coach Mayornelli and some of the front and how

181
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: they played defensively, and then carried that over to Indies.

182
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: So I would say it's the indie defense that we've

183
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: seen the last few years with the Chicago personnel. They

184
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: have seventeen new players on defense, so they have a

185
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: lot of new players. They have some players that have

186
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: experience in Matt's system, so kind of helps their overall

187
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: I would say development and transition there. But so Matt's

188
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: a really good coach. The one thing that stands out

189
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: about them is the takeaways. I want to say, over

190
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: the last four years they have their defenses have one

191
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: hundred and five takeaways, so they take the ball away.

192
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: Really put an emphasis on taking the ball away, similar

193
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: to kind of what we emphasize on defense. So more

194
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: of a four man front, a little bit different than

195
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: the Denver front. I'd say they have probably a lot

196
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: of underrated players that not a lot of people talk about.

197
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson's probably as good a corner there's in the

198
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: league young player. He's got good size, he's got good length.

199
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: You don't complete a lot of passes on him, so

200
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to run a lot of good routes.

201
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: Rocon Smith has been as productive a tackler I think

202
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: since he's been in the league's hat over one hundred

203
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: tackles a year, so kind of good at all three

204
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: levels of the defense, and even going back to secondary,

205
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: Eddie Jackson is very instinctive play with really good ball skills,

206
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: kind of a ball hawking. And then after he gets

207
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, he has I want to say,

208
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 1: three or four long returns for touchdowns. So and then

209
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: the front they brought Muhammed Over who was with Indianapolis

210
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: last year. Robert Quinn is as good of a pass

211
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: rusher is there in the league. So his ability to

212
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: disrupt the quarterback. I think he had eighteen and a

213
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: half sacks last year. So, and they have seventeen new

214
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: players on that side of the ball. And then offensively,

215
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: coach gets his background coming from Green Bay some of

216
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: the things that they did. The run game is going

217
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: to be a big part of it. Montgomery has been

218
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: a productive of back as there's been in the league.

219
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: Hard to tackle, low center of gravity, gets yards. I

220
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: think he ran for over a hundred yards the other

221
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: night against Green Bay. And Justin is kind of his

222
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: own unique player from the standpoint he's playing quarterback, but

223
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: he's really a running back when he has the ball.

224
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean he's big, he's fast, he's got a big

225
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: arm and they kind of do things to kind of

226
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: accentuate some of the things that he does well. So

227
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: let's say tackling is certainly going to be at a

228
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: premium with their skill players. Mooney kind of we talked

229
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: a little bit about Sutton. I would say he's a

230
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: different type a receiver than Sutton, but equally as productive

231
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: in his respect to capacity. Two good tight ends and

232
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line. They've kind of had some moving parts

233
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: just relative jen kids moved inside. Drafted the tackle Braxton

234
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: Jones here in the fifth round, so he's playing, so

235
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: a lot of new faces. I would say how they

236
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: want to play is similar to how we want to

237
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: play in all areas. So you know, any end, it's

238
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: going to come down to preparation and it's come out

239
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: of execution. But in some respects, we're kind of playing

240
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: an NFC version of the Houston Texans Nick they played

241
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: in that Monsoon game in the opener. And if there's

242
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: a situation like that, I mean, just at large, do

243
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: you focus on that, like down the line, we're gonna

244
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: play at this place and let's watch out for this

245
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: aspect of it or that aspect of it. How does

246
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: that work? It's an interesting question mark. You don't, you're

247
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: not playing the elements. I think understanding how to play

248
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: within the elements is important, and you never know when

249
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. And it's like Tennessee last year, basically

250
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: play in a rainstorm, you know, the first road game

251
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: down there in Tennessee, So you really don't know what's

252
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: going to happen. You can try to assimilate as much

253
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: as possible. But the climate in Houston is not necessarily

254
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: as conducive. I mean we get more thundershowers and we

255
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: do maybe extensive downpours on playing a monsoon like they

256
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: played the game in there, you know, week one, So

257
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: you adjust to I would say, whatever the circumstances are.

258
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: The play calling might be affected a little bit. Maybe

259
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: some players a little bit more effective than others, so

260
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: you might modify how you call it on all three phases.

261
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: So I think you just have to be ready to

262
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: react to whatever the situation is and the circumstances are.

263
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: What about the field conditions though, and that we need

264
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: to change our cleats who makes out the packing list

265
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: because it changes sometimes. Right, you're gonna play a snow

266
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: game or something like that. Yeah, No, you're always looking ahead.

267
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: So what's the weather going to be like on Sunday? Okay,

268
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: what are some of the things that we may or

269
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: may not need. Looks like it's actually gonna be a

270
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: decent day on Sunday. One of the things they did

271
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: they resided the field I want to say, two or

272
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: three weeks ago, so it was before before the San

273
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: Francisco game. So the new surface looks like it held up. Okay,

274
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: So other than being getting a lot of moisture. So again,

275
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: you're not really playing the elements. You just have to

276
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: be prepared for the elements, whatever they are. Nick he

277
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: mentioned a guy that I don't want to say I fear,

278
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: but he's a guy just because of his instincts and

279
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: the way he plays the game. Is Eddie Jackson and

280
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: a guy at Alabama that played a lot of corner.

281
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: He comes to the league, he moves to safety. You

282
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: had a guy like that that played corner and then

283
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: with the safety and Devin McCardy and they're similar in

284
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: their their instincts, their ball hawking skills. How did corner

285
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: make Eddie a better player and make him such a

286
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: good player the same way maybe it did for Devin.

287
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: No it's an interesting thought. I would say not all

288
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: corners can make the transition to safety. Again, everybody looks

289
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: at defensive backs and there's certain attributes that a defensive

290
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: back has to possess that are important to the position.

291
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: I would say instinctiveness, awareness, tackling. Those are things that

292
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: are relevant. The ability to cover a player one on one.

293
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: Maybe there's more emphasis playing corner as the player. Can

294
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: he do that on more on a consistent basis, or

295
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: maybe there's another position we might find we're able to

296
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: accentually some of his skills. So Eddie had a lot

297
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: of experience playing multiple roles like Devin. Like you mentioned

298
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 1: Devin's situation, he was an all par corner as a

299
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: rookie year, as verture second year, and then he transitioned

300
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: to safety. Eddie's been a i'd say consistently productive safety.

301
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: But the way you see the game and view the game,

302
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: it's safety is different than corner a corner. It's really

303
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: the player across from you, and it's really more that

304
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: side of the field. Safety is a little bit more

305
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: all encompassing. So the ability to see the whole field,

306
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: see the play, see the concepts, see the formation, read

307
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback break on the ball, watch a quarterback size,

308
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: put yourself in the position. I'd say that's probably the

309
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: biggest distance we playing corner and playing safety is the

310
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: ability to have more of a bigger picture. And there's

311
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: a certain level of communication that is involved from the safety,

312
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: terms of coverage adjustments, terms of checks, because the information

313
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: is going to go probably top down, so from safety

314
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: to linebacker to the front, whereas corner you're getting the

315
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: information from the safety or from somebody else. So not

316
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: everybody he can do it, not everybody can handle it.

317
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: I think we've talked about this even going back to

318
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: last year. Guys like Poyer, guys like Micah Hyde who

319
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: play corner in college, they've transitioned into in their particular situation,

320
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: two of the better safeties in the league. So it's

321
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: not for everybody. It's just what does the player's skill set,

322
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: do we think he can make that transition and is

323
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: it the best position form within the construct of the defense.

324
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: I like to visit on this topic throughout the season, Nick,

325
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: you continue to evaluate the college players and the draft

326
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: class for next year. What does the board kind of

327
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: look like right now? In what form is it? We

328
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: don't have pictures. So verbally, if you could take us

329
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: through it, Yeah, it's in the I'd say it's in

330
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: the infantile stages. So we've had two to three weeks

331
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: of information that comes in. We get reports uploaded to

332
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: our database on i'd say a weekly basis with the

333
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: corresponding grade. So by position, here are the grades that

334
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: have come in. Joe Smith, we see him as this

335
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: level of player, here's the grade associated with it. And

336
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: then there's other information that I'm receiving from some of

337
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: our other scouts as well in terms of their trips.

338
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: So you're just process, i would say, at this point

339
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: in the infantile stages, and you're just processing a lot

340
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: of information as it comes in. And College has only

341
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: played two or three games, so you really don't have

342
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: a big body of work specific to this season. You

343
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: may have a player who's in his senior year, you

344
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: have some level of experience in previous seasons. You kind

345
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: of go back and see whether some of the things

346
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: that we said about him last year maybe it's an

347
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: early answer. Junior didn't come out. We did a lot

348
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: of work on him and leading up to the draft.

349
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: Well he's gone back, So you're just kind of following up.

350
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: So let's say we still have a long way to

351
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: go within that process. We're just accumulating a lot of

352
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: information and trying to organize it in a somewhat you know,

353
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: functional way. Nick, you can only have so many scouts

354
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: out there, and they can only be in one place

355
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: at a time. If you go see a guy in

356
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: week one, week two, I would imagine you go back

357
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: and revisit that particular school, or visit that particular player

358
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: at some point later down the line, or they're particular

359
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: points at which you want to see that like beginning

360
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: of the season, middle season, and the season. Do you

361
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: kind of see it like that or how do you

362
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: kind of look at that as it pertains the players. Yeah,

363
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: it's probably specific to the player, and it's really John,

364
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: probably a combination of all three. So you might go

365
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: into a school in August, maybe just see him practice,

366
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: maybe see him live at a game, and then maybe

367
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: go back into the school October November see if there's

368
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: any new information that's come up between the first time

369
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: that you were there to the present time. So you're

370
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: constantly that's the job of the area scout. They're typically

371
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: living in the area so they have access to a

372
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: lot of information they can get to the school. I

373
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: would say as much as as needed. And you're really

374
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: just trying to confirm information if you've accumulated, and just

375
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: try to see if everything matches up. So I would

376
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: say that's really the benefit of multiple visits. And in

377
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: the end, you're just trying to create a profile and

378
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: a picture of the player so that when you actually

379
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: bring that player into the building, you understand everything that

380
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: comes along with it. Nick, how many slices of deep

381
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: dish pizza will you have this week? I've probably just

382
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: defended the entire city. I'm not gonna have the radio business.

383
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: I don't like deep dish thin crust please. All right,

384
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: there we go. If I have to eat pizza, probably

385
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: more of a thin crust. See, so we got something

386
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: there that would be the instance that would make you

387
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: eat pizza. Uh, you invited to a friend's house they

388
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: all pizza rehearsal dinner for a very important wedding, and

389
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: it's like, that's it. Wait a second, who is who

390
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: is having the daughters are getting married? Oh wait, you're

391
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: paying for that. Though sometimes our Friday routine has been

392
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: the girls like pizza on Friday, So if they get pizza,

393
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I'll have a slice of their pizza. So

394
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: within reason that all goes to the top of this. Okay,

395
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: that's understandable. Very good. I don't even know that I

396
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 1: want to ask about pizza toppings. Very basic, very basic.

397
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: There we go, Nick, thanks so much for joining us.

398
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: Good luck this week. Thanks guys. I just put it

399
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: this way. I gotta feel it. My pizza toppings are

400
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: gonna be way different than what Nick Caserio's pizza toppings are. Well,

401
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: let's just leave it at that, all right, Mark should

402
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: stick around me in the next segment and we're gonna

403
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: discuss Nick Chubb Amazon ratings. Pretty interesting thing came out

404
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: of Thursday Night football last week, the very first regular

419
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: don't side. The reporter sitting next to obviously a voice

420
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: of the Texans, Mark Vanni remark, good evening, Johnny, good evening. Hey,

421
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm getting fired up to this weekend. Windy City, all right,

422
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: I shouldn't call it that, probably to cliche. Did you

423
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: hear what love he said about When did he say

424
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: it to us or did he sit in his presser

425
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: He said that it doesn't it's not called that because

426
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: of the wind right he said something like windy City

427
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: was not, you know, as apropos about Chicago. I'm I'm

428
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: excited to go back and actually experience the city. Remember

429
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: we went in twenty twenty and we had to sit

430
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: in a hotel, which I'm not gonna complain too much

431
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: about but when is it hotel? I had to get

432
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: Lumnati's deep dish brought to my brought to my to

433
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: our hotel. That was the only thing we could do.

434
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: We didn't really get to experience Chicago. So I've been

435
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: to Chicago in a long time other than that, so

436
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: I am looking forward to going back, for sure. Weather

437
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: if you're it's kind of an old romp. Actually, do

438
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: you know that the Windy City origin the name. It's

439
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: not just because it's windy in Chicago, but because it

440
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: was sort of an insult to a lot of the

441
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: people who are full of hot air. Oh, and I

442
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: think that's an insult that radiates between the people there.

443
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: So it's an internal thing and it just got outside

444
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: and it'd be, you know, like wind bag kind of thing.

445
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: And in fact, in my conversation with Jeff Joniac which

446
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 1: is later on right full disclosure, we already recorded it,

447
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: but it's good, it's good. I also talk about how

448
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: Hey State College when I lived there, everyone called it

449
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: Happy Valley where Penn State is. When do you live there?

450
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: You don't call it Happy Valley? No, you just don't. Well,

451
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: that's kind of like in a different vein everybody calls

452
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: the Deandome where North Carolina plays basketball, and they call

453
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: everybody calls the Dean Doome. But in North Carolina they

454
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: called Smith Center. They don't call it the Dandome. You

455
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: don't call it the Danome. No, you don't call it.

456
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: It's the Smith's Center in North Carolina. In New York,

457
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: you really don't call it the Big Apple much. You're

458
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 1: really not going to do that. Just like in Houston,

459
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: we don't say Space City. Well sometimes we do. They

460
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: guess not to each other. Yeah, good morning, not quite Mark.

461
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: I've said this a few times now that our two

462
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: favorite teams on the weekend are our team, the Texans,

463
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: and whatever team the Cleveland Browns are playing. Those our

464
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: two favorite teams, so we keep an eye on that.

465
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: So yes, I went back, and I wasn't able to

466
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: kind of try. I was you guys were kind of

467
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: keeping me updated to what was going on with the

468
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns, but I didn't

469
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: really I knew it was thirty to twenty four. At

470
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: some point I knew the Jets had the ball, and

471
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: then I heard one of you guys say, oh, they scored,

472
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: they took a lead. They're gonna win this game. And

473
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, okay, we didn't realize how it

474
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: actually happened. So I went back and I was watching

475
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: the game, and I was sort of, what's right away

476
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: saying this? Not I don't want to say I was appalled,

477
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: but I thought it was I thought it was odd.

478
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: So here's the situation. The Browns were head twenty four seventeen. Right,

479
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: there's two minutes and two seconds left. And what have

480
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: we always said if the other team your head and

481
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: the other team has no timeouts going into two minute

482
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: warning games over everybody talks about it being a sixty

483
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: minute game. What you want to do is making a

484
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: fifty eight minute game, right, because you get to the

485
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: two minute warning here, just take three knees. If you

486
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: get a first down, take three knees. And that suckers over, right.

487
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: So with two minutes in two seconds, Jacoby Brice had

488
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: handed off to Nick Chubb. Now I want to rewind

489
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: two years. We're playing Cleveland Browns up in Cleveland, and

490
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: it's a just awful day. Speaking of wind awful thirty

491
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: five forty mile hour wins. At times he got high

492
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: as high as fifty fifty five miles an hour. It

493
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: hailed weather's awful. Weather delayed the whole thing, and neither

494
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: quarterback could really throw the ball, Baker Mayfield or Shawn Watson,

495
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: neither one could really throw it. But the Browns did

496
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: enough to take the lead in that one, and I

497
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: think they had about a four point lead. Late in

498
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: the game, Nick chef broke a run. What did he do?

499
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: Do you remember? Did he slide? No? Always score close enough, No,

500
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: he stepped out of bounds, always close enough because the

501
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: Texans were out of timeouts. It was inside the two

502
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: minute warning. He ran down. He jumped out about the

503
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: three yard line. Okay, so knowing that you could just

504
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: take a knee, and you just take three knees and

505
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: kill the clock at that point. So Nick chuff did

506
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: that in twenty twenty, mind you. So Brissette tosses the

507
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: ball to Nick. Nick turns the corner and there's nobody there,

508
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: nobody there, and he runs in the end zone. He

509
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: couldn't help himself, couldn't help himself, and he should have

510
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: slid or ran out of bounds, because then after the

511
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: two minute warning, which would arrive at one fifty five

512
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,239
Speaker 1: or whatever, after the two minute warning, three knees, it's over.

513
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: The Jets were out of timeouts. They're out of timeouts now.

514
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: The first I was all the way down, like the

515
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: two yard line or whatever. But even at that point

516
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: he could have done the same thing. He could have

517
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: jumped out of bounds right beyond the first down marker.

518
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 1: The clock would stop. But it's a two million warning anyways, Yeah,

519
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: why do you not? Why do more players not understand this?

520
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: I think they do Johnny conceptually, but in the heat

521
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: of battle. I always said, I've never played professional football.

522
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: How about that for a revelation, boys and girls. But

523
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: I can imagine that if you're on the move and

524
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: the end zone is right there, it's very hard to

525
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: keep yourself out of it. But because you got to

526
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: get credit for the touchdown, it's gonna look great on

527
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: the stat sheet. You might have contractual insteadis based on that,

528
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: and it's very hard to prevent yourself from scoring. You

529
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: could sell me on that. Okay, if he hadn't done

530
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: it two years prior against us, he already had the knowledge.

531
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: He already had the understanding. And then he went back

532
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: and I was reading and I remembered this. You know

533
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: who told him to go out of bounds. Who was

534
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: not in the huddle for the Browns. It was the

535
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: huddle with the Carolina Panthers, Baker Mayfaker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield

536
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: reminded them in the huddle, hey, look go down if

537
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: you break this thing, go out of bounds. In the

538
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: game and Nick Chubb ends up, there's a there's a

539
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: defenditor that gets there, kind of cuts him off, so

540
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: he's got to slow down, but he kind of swipes

541
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: past that guy and then steps into the end zone

542
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: instead of going down. Kate York misses the extra point,

543
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: Jets go down and scoring a deep ball. Now, look,

544
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that have got to happen,

545
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,239
Speaker 1: but none of those things happen if Nick Chubb just

546
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: situational awareness just goes out of bounds, well, I always

547
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: think you'd do it in order to just prevent your

548
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: defense from having to take the field again exactly where

549
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: and tear injury pricesibilities. Bad things can happen that way, right,

550
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: Why not just take a knee where it's like, hey,

551
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: we're done playing football for this afternoon. Right, you have

552
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: that opportunity, you have to take it. That's the thing

553
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: that gets me is that by going out on the field.

554
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: And I saw this in college teams. Everybody's talking about

555
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: Applatch of State and the hill mar and all that

556
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, which which was fantastic. The week before,

557
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: they were playing North Carolina and they had missed a

558
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: two point conversion. They were up one. I'm sorry that

559
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: app Staate was down by seven. They scored, decided to

560
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: go for two to win it and missed it. So

561
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: now they got outside kick, so they're they're down one

562
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: outside kicking in North Carolina. Receiver catches it on the

563
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: run and takes off for the end zone and I'm

564
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: screaming slide and so right when ayn't get near the

565
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: end zone, the APPLATCHI State guys. Instead of like, Okay,

566
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna score, this is gonna help us, they're

567
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: trying to tackle the guy. Oh because dives. He dives

568
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: from the three yard line into the end zone. Because

569
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: he's determined to score, they're determined to stop him. Both

570
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: things are wrong, right, Both things are wrong. At that

571
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: they end up getting the ball back with a chance

572
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: to win. Right. Because North Carolina scores, they celebrate. So

573
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: it's a fifteen yar oppelly to kickoff, they run Applatzi

574
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: State runs a kickoff back to nearly the fifty two

575
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: plays touchdown, they go for two and they don't make it.

576
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: So dam Blues in sixty three sixty one. But they

577
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: never should have had that chance. Could have gone to overtime,

578
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: and that would have been one of the greatest blunders

579
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: ever ever, And I just it makes me so frustrated.

580
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: And then I see Nick Chubb do it, and I'm like,

581
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: Nicky did it against us pal? Yeah, like pull the

582
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: won Brian Westman. I know the fantasy gurus would have

583
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,719
Speaker 1: been like, no, I knew that touchdown, and his agent maybe,

584
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: but he said I thought the game was over. If

585
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: there's one thing in the NFL, I don't care who's

586
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: on the other side, it's not over ever. Joe Flacco

587
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: wins it for the Jets. Okay, so beautiful. So here's

588
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: elite Joe Flacco. So along those lines, Joe Flacco and

589
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson first round pick. Garrett Wilson had two touchdowns,

590
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: really nice fade route where he did a little hot

591
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: foot buzz and just sold the inside went outside wide open.

592
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: Flacco just dropped it foot bulls. That sounds like the

593
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: name of a podcast. Have you seen that release? It's nice?

594
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: And then he zips one. I mean he ripped it

595
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: to Gary Wilson for the second touchdown. Joe Flacco is

596
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: still alive. Zach Wilson's supposed to come back in week four?

597
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: Would you do it? No, I'm playing Zach Wilson. They're

598
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: not Johnny. Come on, they're gonna play the Bengals this week. Well,

599
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: hang on, do they beat the Bengals at home? They

600
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: might beat him last year. Yeah, what if Flacco beats them?

601
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: Rejuvenated Joe flacc Right, he's taking his supplements, he's getting

602
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: eight hours of sleep at night. He's back boys and girls.

603
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: And look, I'm kind of I'm not really a Joe

604
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: Flacco fan at all, like, not in the slightest, but

605
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: I kind of like it when the old backup quarterback

606
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: finds a way to resurrect himself, especially when it's beating

607
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, who, by the way, you mentioned you know,

608
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: we root for the Texans and whatever team is playing

609
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: the Browns. But I'll also add to that whatever team

610
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: is playing and the Titans, the Jags, the Colts, and

611
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. So I have a lot of teams. Litany

612
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: of teams that we cheered, and I have other ones

613
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: going on to some more subtle but fun ones for me.

614
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: But anyway, the Steelers are at Cleveland for the Thursday nighter. Thoughts.

615
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: Steelers coming out that loss to the Patriots where neither

616
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: team played that well, but the Patriots pulled it out

617
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. Now they're at Cleveland. Browns are all upset,

618
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: but so what. It's a Thursday night. Steelers have to travel,

619
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: but it's not a big travel. I mean, you could

620
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: basically uber to Cleveland. All the players could do that

621
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: and get there in plenty of time to get some

622
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: rest and be ready as you possibly could for a

623
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: Thursday nighter. I know the other reporter, they did a

624
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: thing on him a few years back. I can't remember

625
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: if it's a COVID year or before, but they bust

626
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: to Cleveland. He drove, he drove him. So so was

627
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: the COVID year he drove himself to Cleveland. But it's

628
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: not it's not far at all between those two cities. Well,

629
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, we're we are staunched Steeler fans, which means

630
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: we're cheering for Mitch Trubisky and Unfortunately there's no t J.

631
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: Watt playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But of course we're

632
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: cheering for Pittsburgh man. Of course, come on, not Gerris.

633
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: Gotta get it done. Speaking of Thursday night football, did

634
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: you see this? I had seen this, and I've forgot

635
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: to bring it up because we've talked about this. We're

636
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: definitely broadcast files. We're always thinking about broadcast. Amazon's first

637
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: broadcast a Thursday Night Football attracted a record number of

638
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: new Prime sign ups over a three hour period, more

639
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: than during similar periods on Prime Day or other big

640
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: shopping days such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and

641
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: Executive set in a memo viewed by CNBC, we know

642
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: that the game was between the Chiefs and the Chargers,

643
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: and that's one of fifteen games that Amazon paid one

644
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: billion dollars to broadcast. Amazon. I think the number was twelve.

645
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: The number they were shooting for was twelve point five

646
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: million views, and apparently in this time frame they had

647
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: thirteen point two million sign ups. So wait, how many viewers? Viewers?

648
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: They wanted? Twelve point five million viewers? That was the goal,

649
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: right for that Thursday, and apparently they had somewhere on

650
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: upwards of thirteen point two million sign ups or something

651
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: of that. I mean, just an absurd sign up, absurd

652
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: number to go watch on Thursday night football. I mean

653
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: it sounds like I mean, it sounds like, Okay, I've

654
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: got to go find the game. It sounds like people

655
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: went and found the dad Gum game. Yeah, but they

656
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: don't found it. We don't have that final final yet

657
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: though from Nielsen. Do we? I don't know. I don't

658
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: think we ever got a final rating. Listen, I don't

659
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: know what they're doing, Johnny, but they come up with

660
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: the numbers on the over the year broadcast networks and

661
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: regular cable networks very quickly. Yes, Well, the Amazon, we

662
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: need to take more time here because I don't know

663
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: what is going. I don't know how you measure that.

664
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't Well, you can measure a pretty Amazon can

665
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: tell you exactly how many people are watching. Thirteen million

666
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: sign ups sounds like a bit of a spin to me.

667
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: But the thing is different. But are they are they

668
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: required to do it? Can Amazon do it? Like with

669
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: Nielsen ratings? With Nielsen ratings, I mean, don't all the

670
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: networks have to sign up? And all that? Great question?

671
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: I mean Amazon. They don't have to tell anybody right now.

672
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: They don't have to, but it'll leak out because if

673
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: you want to sell advertising on these games, they want

674
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: to know, right I mean, the beer companies, the car companies,

675
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: they want to know what you got, because that's how

676
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: the rates are set. So as cutting edge as this

677
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 1: hall is, it's still a regular broadcast. It really is.

678
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: I mean, people make a big deal about it, and

679
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: they should. It's a streaming thing. I get it, but

680
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: it's still like you're watching a game. They take commercial breaks.

681
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: You want to get really new, you have a broadcast,

682
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: you have Amazon where you don't take commercial breaks. Okay, Oh,

683
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: if you're gonna get all those sign ups, let's eliminate

684
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: the commercials. Let's go action to action. You'll take a

685
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: little break like a pause, if you will. Maybe they'll

686
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: do vote something. I think that's what. Yeah, I think

687
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: that's what they'll they'll head toward because they've got the

688
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: money to do it, just like when the Masters said, look,

689
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: you're not going to run commercials this year on the Masters.

690
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: You don't have to. CBS, we've got it. We'll write

691
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: you the check. Because Martha Burke was protesting this is

692
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: in the nineties about no female members at Augusta and

693
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: they said, we know you don't want any kind of

694
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: controversy in you and your advertisers will write you to

695
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: the check for the advertisers. Or how about Stanford. I

696
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing right now, but remember they

697
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: a long time ago decided no on campus athletic advertisers.

698
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: They had some sort of a huge donation cover the cost.

699
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: So with Amazon, this is another version of that. Hey,

700
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: get rid of all the commercials. Make it so, yeah,

701
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: you're promoting stuff or whatever, maybe charitable efforts. But that

702
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: would be revolutionary. How fast would that game be. It

703
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: would be a lot faster, and it would that would

704
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: be very disruptive. That would shake up the industry quite

705
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: a bit. And that would be a unique viewing experience.

706
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: What you're getting right now, it's like, yeah, a lot

707
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: of bells and whistle is kind of cool, and the

708
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: other options you have to view, but it's not that unique.

709
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 1: It's still you know, val Michaels, which hand Curb Street,

710
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. It's pretty good. But Pittsburgh and Cleveland

711
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: the second go round, we always talking about week one,

712
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: a week two. We'll see what kind of changes Amazon

713
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: makes there. Coming up next, Rashim Green sits down in

714
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: a hot seat for a little deep Slant with Deep Suo.

00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: We're in the middle of reporting the news. I need

00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: to try it first. To try it, churis to try it?

726
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: This week's Rashim Green sitting down in the hot seat

727
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: with Deep Green and Rashim, I was joking with you

728
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: earlier because I've seen you out on the field, but

729
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: you're like, I don't know much about you. You don't

730
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: have much about you out there on social media, and

731
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: you said that's good. Well, it's good because that's why

732
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: I keep myself. I feel like I don't need to

733
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: post everything, and I'm doing um outside of football. I

734
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 1: have a few hobbies to till my friends and family.

735
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: You have a dog I did find. I found you

736
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: have a dog named George. George a boxer, and only

737
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: because George has his own Instagram, which hasn't been updated

738
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: in a while, I haven't posted one, but I do

739
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: have a lot of pictures of George on my phone.

740
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 1: But I'm not really big on posting. Yes, I can

741
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: see that, all right, Well did you post about your

742
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: big sack? Posted a highlight of that, reposted a bunch

743
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 1: of stories tags, but I didn't post one yet. I

744
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: gonna probably get around to that today. Okay, Well, I mean,

745
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: how ironic is it that your first sack is a

746
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: Texan should come against the only other quarterback you've ever

747
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: played with in Russell Wilson? Like, does familiarity help in

748
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: that situation? Not really, But I mean it was nice

749
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: to get a sack on him because you know, like

750
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: last four years, always don't touch us. Oh okay, you

751
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: got to make up for it. Yeah, in your fifth

752
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: year not playing with rus So your Texans debut happens

753
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: in week two. You didn't get to play in that

754
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: week one game, we saw a lot of you and OTAs,

755
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: so you threw out camp. You know how hard was

756
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: that for you to open up the season and not

757
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: be able to play. Oh, it's up because I felt like,

758
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: you know, like this past summer and this training camp,

759
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 1: I put like a lot of work in with here

760
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: and back home in the offseason. I felt like, you know,

761
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: it was this real hard, just like doing all that

762
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: work just to get like a slight setback. I'm glad

763
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 1: it was only just a slight setback, and staff something

764
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: now longer and I was able to miss one and

765
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: several weeks, so I just got like another chance to

766
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: make up for it. But we were happy to have you,

767
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: and you made a big impact in that game. This offseason,

768
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 1: you were a free agent. You traveled to several teams

769
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: before you signed with Houston. Ultimately, what went into your

770
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: decision to sign here? It was a lot of things.

771
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: I felt like the main thing was I feel like

772
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: this was the right fit for me, you know, like

773
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: the scheme and just like where I don't know how

774
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: to really describe it. I just felt like this was

775
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: the right move. Your skill set probably more, I mean

776
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: The one thing I hear about your skill set is

777
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: that you're so versatile. I think Jerry Hughes said that

778
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: you can play anywhere on the line. Your size is great,

779
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: your speed is fantastic. It seems like you could have

780
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: been in anywhere. Was was this scheme very similar or

781
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: different to what you're playing in Seattle? It's very It's

782
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: very different we or I mean, there's some things that

783
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: are similar, but for the most part, it's more of

784
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 1: an attacking front light light in the front light. I'm

785
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,240
Speaker 1: not saying it wasn't an attack in front and Seattle.

786
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: This is more passion short light based that in Seattle

787
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 1: was more of like we ran like a three four

788
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: I see, okay, I haven't heard that about love scheme.

789
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: Is that it's more of an attack, I mean, playing

790
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: fast of a reading blocks. But we're not going out

791
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,479
Speaker 1: there two gaping. This is just you have one gap,

792
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: one assignment, and you have to like you have to

793
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: trust that your teammates you're doing their job and you

794
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: have to do your job and your gap, you know

795
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's a little more it's a little

796
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: more simple for him for me. When you met with Lovey,

797
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure he did ask all the right questions. You

798
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: guys had some good conversations. What was your impression of

799
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: him when you met him talked to him when I

800
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: first met him. Well, like previously, I've heard some good

801
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: things about him when he was I Forgear. What the

802
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 1: school is he at Illinois? Yes, because a teammate from

803
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: a high school that transferred from USC to there. It

804
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: wasn't really a good fit for from at USC. And

805
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: then he transferred there and he was just like he

806
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: went there and he was balling out. He was getting

807
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of sacks, and so like from what I've

808
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: like knew about him outside of like him being like

809
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: the Bears coach and when he was in Tampa Bay,

810
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: like as a person, he's great. As a coach, he's great.

811
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like the stuff he was talking about,

812
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: not just he was a great coach. That's really interesting.

813
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: So you had a former teammate, Yeah, a former teammate

814
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: who played form in college. Can you say who it

815
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: is or what position? It was? Similar position to the

816
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: same thing as man. Okay, So that really led into

817
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: your decision as well. To you had a little bit

818
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: of insiders. I wouldn't say that that's my decision. But

819
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 1: like from what I've known about him, like is very

820
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: It's a defensive line friendly front. So if you're playing

821
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: in this front, life man, the players are out there

822
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: for you to make. You seem to be making a

823
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: lot of plays here. Early on, I think in OTAs,

824
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: before the pads even went on, Levy said that you'll

825
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: have a role this coming year, and he felt he

826
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: felt pretty confident in making that statement. So did you

827
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: feel that way too, an OTAs that you were sort

828
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: of fitting in and things were going well. You've never

829
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: played for another team or another head coach until you

830
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: get here. Did you feel like that transition was pretty

831
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 1: smooth for you? Uh? Yeah, I felt like it wasn't

832
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: none too crazy. It wasn't none like I couldn't do.

833
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: There was a slight learning period, but I mean I

834
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: got through that. So when I was when you sign here,

835
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 1: I think I look back at some of your plays

836
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: last year and the one I know you probably know

837
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you about this. You blocked up

838
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: extra point attempts, scooped up the ball, return it to

839
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: the other end for two points, and according to ESPN

840
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: Stats Info, you were the first player to block, recover,

841
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,720
Speaker 1: and score on the return of an extra point attempt.

842
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: So plays like that, like when that play is unfolding,

843
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: you think, oh, yeah, I'm gonna I'm back for that

844
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: play is one of those things like you're just in

845
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: the moment I blocked it, and then I've just seen

846
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: the ball, like it just looked like the ball was

847
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: slowing there outside grab it. You ran quite a distance

848
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: to get to the end zone, ninety four yards, so

849
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: I was tired. You were tired. You were fast though, too,

850
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: so I was tired after that. Yeah, I wish I

851
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: would have kept the ball. I threw it on the grounds.

852
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: It's like you didn't get it. Oh, next time, next

853
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: time you kick it, the next time you score. You

854
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: could you can do it all right as a as

855
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: a rookie, you played ten games in twenty eighteen, but

856
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: you didn't even start until the twenty nineteen season. And

857
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: I was looking at your age when you were drafted.

858
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: You were really young. You were twenty right when you

859
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: actually went through the draft. So did that affect your

860
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: mentality getting into the NFL? Just being young and not playing, Like,

861
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: how did you sort of work through all that? I

862
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: didn't really think about my age being a factor when

863
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: I'm out there, it's just like, at the end day,

864
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: it's still football. Just the guys are a little bigger, faster, slight,

865
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: smarter too. But if you go out there with the

866
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: right mindset and approach, like your age in if you're

867
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, twenty five, thirty, yeah, if you go

868
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: out there with the writer pro too, it's just I mean,

869
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, is just football. Not

870
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: trying to make seem like it's easy, but I mean

871
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: it's like still are But I mean it's amazing you're

872
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: twenty five and you've you're in your year five in

873
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: the NFL, Like that seems really really young still. That's

874
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: why I went back and I looked but twenty you know, yeah,

875
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: maybe when you're twenty twenty one and you know you're

876
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you're with the same calendar there. I

877
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: would say there was like a slight like there was

878
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: a slight learning period where I did have my struggles,

879
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: you know, let me physical because it's like different being

880
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: in college versus sure NFL. You went to Junipero Sarah

881
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: High School. It seems like that's a pretty big pipeline

882
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 1: for USC players that they had quite a few players, Yeah,

883
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: that came out with you, Robert Woods and Dory Jackson,

884
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: Mark Uisley. So was it just like a ford gone

885
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: conclusion that you're well, No, it wasn't like because I'm

886
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: going to Sarah, I'm going to go to USC. This

887
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: is like growing up, you know what I mean? Like

888
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of kids from LA or

889
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,359
Speaker 1: like kids in like same neighborhoods and when you grow up,

890
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: like if you're watching football. When I was growing up,

891
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: it was like USC was like I mean, like like

892
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: man in the best school. Like, so people who I

893
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: watched when I was in like from middle school in

894
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: like or let's say, if I was watching like a

895
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: different high school football game or like the best kids

896
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: in LA, they were probably going there too. So it's

897
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: like and it's like fifteen minutes from my house. Oh, okay,

898
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: did you live at home on campus? I lived? I live.

899
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. It's like there's some players

900
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: that live fifteen minutes from their house in the NFL.

901
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: I'm not naming any names on our team they live

902
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: at home because it's easy. I like thought, I was like,

903
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: I don't feel like doing that drive every morning. Sure,

904
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,240
Speaker 1: so I just like live a block away from campus

905
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: and I'll ride my scooter. How do you like being

906
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: in Houston? I mean, you've gone from California to Seattle,

907
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: now Texas. What are your thoughts about Texas? Have you

908
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: had the off season sort you get around the city

909
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: a little bit, what do you think of h Yeah,

910
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool. Uh, it's really real hot, you know

911
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: It's Yeah, it's not. It's not cool down at all

912
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: since you've been here. It's not. It's a nice The

913
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 1: rain is pretty heavy compared to Seattle. Really, I feel

914
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 1: like Seattle rain is more constant and light. This year

915
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: it rained just like random and heavy. Yeah, it's like

916

917
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,880

Speaker 1: carries umbrella. Like you're just used to use the umbrella.

921
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: I just had like a hoodie and then like a

922
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: little like coat that was waterproof. So here you probably yeah,

923
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: umbrella here, I can't. We're a hood because it's too hot.

959
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: a lot There are a lot of things that can

960
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: relate to seventy six point five yards per game. Would

961
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 1: be a marginal running attack. Seventy six point five yards

962
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: per game on the ground that would be marginal or

963
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: a little less than. But how about seventy six point

964
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: five yards through the air, because that's what the Bears

965
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: are averaging right now. They've thrown for one hundred and

966
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,919
Speaker 1: fifty three total yards in two games. They're thirty second

967

Speaker 1: in the league at seventy six point five yards per game.

968
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 1: Their passing game has got to pick it up, obviously,

969
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: and they're gonna do that with Justin Fields against this

970
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: Texans defense. Now to get a little bit more into

989
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,160

990
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 1: of us play by play guys, not just the NFL,

991
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: but all around the league got a true appreciation what

992
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: we missed. The interactions in the locker room. I've it's

993
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,360

995
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: don't know how you handle it, but I just go

996
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: in there to chat. You know, you get to know

997
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: the guys, You find some nuggets, some context, maybe learn

998
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: some things for future features or whatnot that you know

999
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: you didn't know before. And it's just back to the

1000
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: routine and just being in the stadiums and being interactive

1001
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: and the events, and that's what we love about it.

1004
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 1: Chicago on many different platforms, and while it can be

1005
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: a grind a little bit over the course of a

1006
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: twenty week NFL season, it's a lot of fun and

1063
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: of time in his office after coaches shows. We'd sit

1064
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: there and watch Monday night football while he's working on

1065
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, bear stuff. He'd you know, we talk about

1066
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: different aspects of the game. Certainly I learned a lot

1067
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 1: about defense from Lovey and about you know, staying in

1068
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: your gaps. Man. That was his big his big thing,

1069
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: in addition to taking the ball away. And I just

1070
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: I really appreciated that. I appreciate it. You know, anytime

1071
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 1: coaches are super busy, the last thing they do. Frankly,

1072
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: when they get these jobs as coach, they have so

1073
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: many responsibilities. For him to take that kind of time

1074
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: with me over the years, I'll never forget it. He

1075
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 1: was gracious, he was honest, and everybody developed a close

1076
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: friendship with him that I still have to this day. So,

1077
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: you know, he often talks about family and I feel

1078
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 1: that very much with love you. So the super Bowl

1079
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: did not go according to plan, but getting there must

1080
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: have been a magnificent run with him with you being

1081
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,720
Speaker 1: able to do what you do, Can you just share

1082
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: a thought or two on that for me? Yeah, I

1083
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 1: mean a lot of folks didn't didn't think that was

1084
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,720
Speaker 1: going to be possible on the outside looking in. But again,

1085
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, when you get these playoff teams that go deep.

1086
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: They just know in the offseason, they just have this feeling.

1087
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: But Devin's arrival made that even clearer because you had

1088
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 1: a great defense with stars at almost every position. Now

1089
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: looking back, and I just had spent some time with

1090
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Manner, the Bears long snapper this summer, ran into

1091
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: him on the streets in Chicago. We wound up having

1092
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,359
Speaker 1: a couple of drinks and you know, chopping it up

1093
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: about the old days, and you go through the positions,

1094
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 1: all these guys. I mean, it's from really terrific players

1095
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: across the board, and certainly the Hall of Fame caliber

1096
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: players with Brian or Lacker right there in the middle

1097
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: of that defense for Lovey and they loved love They

1098
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: loved them man to this day. So they played hard

1099
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: for him. They'd do anything for him. The Charles Peenet

1100
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,399
Speaker 1: Tillman's of the world, Mike Browns, the guys up front

1101
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: on the defensive line, Julius Peppers when he came in

1102
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: later on in the twenty ten season, they made it

1103
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 1: to the NC Championship Game. But you know, Devin was

1104
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: the electric. He was the he was the electric igniter

1105
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: and that that year, or will never forget what he

1106
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 1: did as a rookie n turning touchdowns left and right,

1107
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: and that helped us get to the Super Bowl. But

1108
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: and the offense was built up around that running game

1109
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,399
Speaker 1: with Thomas Jones and the late Cedric Benson and an

1110
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: offensive line that was all veterans up front and a

1111
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: quarterback that you know, you know had a great opportunity

1112
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: to make big plays down the field because of that

1113
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: running game. So it was a lot to it. The

1114
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 1: ride ended, of course with the winning in Seattle on

1115
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: the Robbie goldfield goal and the divisional game for the win,

1116
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: and then you know, Reggie Bush got everybody rankled, including Irlak.

1117
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 1: He caught a touchdown pass and waived at r Lacker

1118
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: and that last thing you should have done on the

1119
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: way to the end zone because the Bears punished him

1120
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. Snow started flying a snow globe.

1121
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: Moment Bears win the NFC Championship when they're going to Miami, crazy, wow,

1122
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: great memories. Jeff joni Ac, Voice of the Bears with us.

1123
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: Is it safe to say this, Maybe I'm generalizing too much,

1124
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: but Lovey Smith's run in Chicago, winning run, Super Bowl appearance,

1125
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:28,439
Speaker 1: obviously the man can coach, but the offense has never

1126
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 1: quite got the sustained level of performance that he was

1127
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: looking for defense, yes, or way more often than the offense.

1128
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: It was just difficult to make that work the way

1129
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 1: he wanted it too. It's quarterback position, you know. They

1130
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: if you don't get that right, you're not going to

1131
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,760
Speaker 1: be a super Bowl team. More than likely, it's happened

1132
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: where you can get a guy and you'll have a

1133
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: nice career, and you know it's because of the defense

1134
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: that you get to the super Bowl and win a

1135
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: super Bowl and you know the names that I'm thinking

1136
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: about out there, But yeah, I mean there was so

1137
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 1: much change from offensive coordinator, so many offensive coordinators, and

1138
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: then when they brought in Jay Cutler, I mean it

1139
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: was a trumpeted selection to bring him here and get

1140
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: him here, but again more change. The coordinators kept changing,

1141
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: so there wasn't that consistency and finding that right connection

1142
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: that could help build You know, it takes a while

1143
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: to build an offense, two or three years at least.

1144
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: It's not an instant instant instant coffee, so to speak.

1145
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 1: So and we're experiencing that now with justin fields. Everybody

1146
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: you know sees the first round pick, and you know

1147
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: they want instant success, but it's gonna take some time. Well,

1148
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: tell me about fields and the offense right now, what

1149
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: you're seeing. You're able to run the ball well against

1150
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 1: the Packers the other night, but you're not getting the

1151
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: point totals you want. And I know the first game

1152
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: was kind of weird, but what are you thinking so

1153
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: far overall on that side of the football, Jeff, Yeah,

1154
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: I got to kind of delete the first game because

1155
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: the weather conditions prompted just a complete dedication of the

1156
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: running game. But you know, just a terrific second half.

1157
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: You know, led three scoring drives. Defense the last two

1158
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: weeks has held teams to three points in the second half,

1159
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 1: so that's encouraging. But there is the passing game is

1160
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: not even gotten on track. I mean, they haven't even

1161
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: committed to it yet. So that's who we're waiting to

1162
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: see what's next in that regard, because if you only

1163
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 1: run the ball, teams are gonna, you know, just try

1164
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:18,839
Speaker 1: to make sure they take that away and then put

1165
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 1: it on the quarterback and see if he can handle it.

1166
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: So that's the next step. Get that thing going. They

1167
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,280
Speaker 1: got to get some balance, but you really can't surmise

1168
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: a lot from what we've seen so far in the

1169
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: passing offense because they just haven't had many attempts. So defensively,

1170
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 1: the Matt Eberflew's defense, everyone's saying it's a lot like

1171
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: what the culture used to run. What are your thoughts? Yeah,

1172
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 1: I mean it is with an influence from Alan Williams,

1173
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:44,320
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator. He's the play caller, not the head coach,

1174
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: so Alan Williams has put his twist to it. But

1175
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: it's all predicated on the same principles that that love

1176
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: ease defense has, and that is waves of guys up front,

1177
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: rushing the passer with four tackling, sure tackling. I mean

1178
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 1: at Eberflus has so many sit things and slogans and

1179
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: ways to put things in context for the players and

1180
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,720
Speaker 1: what he wants. It's a specific it's not a general idea.

1181
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: It's this is how you have to tackle. He goes

1182
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 1: through it every day at the podium when he's when

1183
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: he's doing his news conferences. It's it's about the Bears,

1184
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: it's not about the other team. Uh. The tackling is

1185
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: was not good against a Green Bay, so look for

1186
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: that to be a big emphasis against the Texans and

1187
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: moving forward. But it was not good and they did

1188
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: run the ball extremely well. I think both clubs have

1189
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 1: been gouged here at Houston and the Bears, you know,

1190
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: with three hundred plus yards rushing in the first two games,

1191
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: So that has to you, got it. You gotta stop

1192
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: that in order to rush the passers. So that'll be

1193
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: job one. And you know he wants the ball taken

1194
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: away at all costs. You know, he loves the peanut punch.

1195
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: He's gotten no peanut. Tillman had him speaking to the

1196
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 1: team during training camp, and you know, Mattiberflus does have

1197
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: a fond appreciation for some of those Bears, like the

1198
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: Arlakers and the Briggs and the Tillman and the Julius Peppers,

1199
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 1: guys that Lovey Smith coached. Wow, this could be the

1200
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: peanut punch Bowl coming up. No, hey, listen, if the

1201
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: balls out, no one should be surprised. If you get

1202
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: it punched out of there, you better be aware. I mean,

1203
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 1: I know that both teams will be at their condition

1204
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: because of practices. Yeah, maybe hard to get the ball up, Yeah,

1205
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: could be, could be. They're they're gonna brace for it.

1206
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: Jeff Joni a voice of the Bears with us A

1207
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: couple more for you, Pandemic. The Last Dance comes out

1208
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 1: and there's no sports on television. Everyone's watching this. This

1209
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: is huge. They accelerated the release of it because there

1210
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 1: was nothing on It was a great idea. How did

1211
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 1: it play in Chicago? It must have been monumental in Chicago.

1212
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 1: This video series, Oh yeah, it was awesome. I was

1213
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: very much a part of that era. I was doing

1214
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 1: prem post game for the Bulls during that time. My

1215
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: daughters wanted My daughter was working with the Bears for

1216
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: the last two and a half years and now she's

1217
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: off to a grand school at North Carolina, but she

1218
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: was just a baby when I was doing that stuff.

1219
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: So she wanted to watch each one of those. She

1220
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: want to want to see what it's all about. What

1221
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: this Michael Jordan era? The last day? What is this

1222
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: all about? All these championships she talked about all the time,

1223
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: And you know, we're waiting to see if there's even

1224
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: a snippet of me on the sidelines are just a

1225
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: walk by? Would you believe? Not one frame of Jeff Joniac.

1226
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, I thought I was slowing it down. I

1227
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: called Kelly, I think I'm there right next to Phil

1228
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: Jackson when he's walking over. Yeah, I think I'm right

1229
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: than nothing. So she was. She loved it. He appreciated

1230
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: the man. I tried to explain what he was, and

1231
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: I thought they clearly explained who he is. He's the

1232
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: guy was an assassin and he's the ultimate competitor. And

1233
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: I saw it firsthand courtside, and him was awful, fun

1234
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 1: to watch. Well, you have the six championships, but how

1235
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: are the eighty five Bears viewed in Chicago. I don't

1236
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:00,439
Speaker 1: want to say versus Jordan because that's not fair. Six

1237
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: championships and Michael Jordan versus that team. But that team,

1238
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people our age at least,

1239
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: would say, hey, that might have been the best team

1240
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. It was, certainly I can't imagine what

1241
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: that team would be like now the social media era.

1242
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: Back then, they invented their own media with the Super

1243
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 1: Bowl shuffle and everything. But how are they remembered in Chicago?

1244
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: Lad out legends, every last one of them. I mean,

1245
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who you were on that team. Everybody

1246
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 1: knows who you are. It's still they still are the

1247
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: big shots. I mean, and you know, the eighty five

1248
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 1: Bears heard a lot about the sixty three Bears champions

1249
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 1: and you know, they got tired of hearing that. And

1250
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure teams get tired of hearing about the eighty

1251
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:45,439
Speaker 1: five Bears. But until you get that next one, it's

1252
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 1: always gonna be the eighty five Bears. I mean, it's

1253
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,439
Speaker 1: that's the last two championships, sixty three and eighty five,

1254
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: so it's a long time. And they were such personalities.

1255
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not a day that goes by when

1256
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: Tom Thayer, my broadcast partner was starting right guard for

1257
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: that team, doesn't share something I hadn't heard before. And

1258
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: some of these things you can't put out the radio,

1259
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 1: so you know, it's they were just unique in every

1260
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: way and just big personalities. There were a lot of

1261
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: alphas on that team, not just you know the big

1262
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 1: the big guys on defense. There were alphas on that

1263
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 1: offensive behind in Jimbo Covert and while they're Peyton and

1264
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: Jim McMahon and Dennis McKinnon a receiver, and then the

1265
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: defense had its own unique you know, it's like their

1266
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 1: own companies. They were CEOs of their own company and

1267
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: oftentimes that that offense doesn't get a lot of credit,

1268
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: but they led the league in rushing repetitively. The offensive

1269
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: line stayed together for seven years, watches unheard of, I mean,

1270
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: they rarely missed games. So it's a unique collection of

1271
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears and certainly arguably the best team of all time,

1272
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: certainly the best defense of all time. When that conversation, Jeff,

1273
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: it's so great to catch up as always. Can't wait

1274

1277
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:11,440

1278
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 1: the voice so often. It's always good to catch up

1305
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 1: the Bears. Bears, we got to talk about the bears

1306
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: and before we do, our good friend Tyler Marcott, who's

1307
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: a producer here, an Emmy Award winning producer. He texted

1308
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 1: me yesterday and he said, Hey, which bears do you

1309
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 1: want to talk about? In the Fort Points, Texans Extra

1310
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: Points the TV show you can watch every Saturday night

1311
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 1: on ABC thirteen KTRK at eleven ish ten thirty five ish.

1312
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 1: It's basically after the game and after the news, so

1313
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: it's sort of it's a fluid time slot. He also

1314
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: watched on YouTube too, But anyways, he asked which bears

1315
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about? And I can't give him

1316
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 1: a straight answer. I have to mess with him like

1317
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: he's just that's part of the dynamic. And I said Grizzlies,

1318
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Winnie the Pooh, and I can't remember the third bear.

1319
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, I did that to him and he didn't.

1320
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 1: He didn't appreciate it. Really, No, I'm sure. I'm sure

1321
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: at that point because Grizzly Adams means nothing to him. No, No,

1322
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 1: I mean Grizzly Adams. I mean it's that was that

1323
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: was barely me when I was younger. But yeah, it's

1324
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 1: an interesting point you bring up. I was just talking

1325
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 1: like grizzlies general, not not that character. I was talking

1326
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 1: about this species. Um, I would have probably got Kodiak,

1327
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: but or black bear. You know, we were in West Virginia.

1328
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 1: I didn't didn't really know this, but we were up

1329
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: in the hills and of West Virginia when we were

1330
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 1: at the Greenbrier and there was bear watching, and I

1331
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 1: didn't really think. I don't know, I never really paid

1332
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 1: attention to where bears really are going to be. But

1333
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: we were driving up to the top of the mountain

1334
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 1: for something and our bus driver just hit the brakes

1335
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: and I was sitting at the back at the time,

1336
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: but I'm like, what the heck. It's like, I'm gonna

1337
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 1: hit the seat in front of me, Like, what's he doing? Oh?

1338
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 1: He's my bear? Like what bear? Yeah. Well, then about

1339
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: a week later, we were driving up to the top

1340
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 1: of the mountain to go play basketball up the summit

1341
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 1: and we did the same thing. We were pulling around

1342
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:39,919
Speaker 1: the corner and I think Jay was driving. Jay pulls

1343
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 1: around all of sudden, comes to halt and would look

1344
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 1: and there's a there's a bear. We all got our

1345
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: phones out, we're gonna record it. Anyways, bear took off

1346
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,440
Speaker 1: but I saw probably four or five bears and during

1347
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: our two stints up in West Virginia. So we're gonna

1348
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 1: see a bunch of in Chicago. And you bring up

1349
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: an interested question, Drew, and that is who are the bears?

1350
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 1: Because the wait before we do all right, I totally

1351
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 1: forgot about this. On that same trip in West Virginia.

1352
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 1: Tyler Marcott, this guy that we're talking about, had this famous,

1353
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: famous reaction to seeing a bear, which it was caught

1354
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 1: on Twitter, and this is what he said. All right,

1355
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: now that we got that out of the way. We

1356
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 1: love Tyler, we love messing with him. But you were

1357
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 1: talking about who the Bears are. They've got a new quarterback.

1358
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 1: I say new he's just young. He's not. Yeah, this

1359
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 1: is his second year. Jim McMahon, He is not. But

1360
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 1: this kid can play and the growth process is happening.

1361
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: And we're familiar with growth process. He's around here seeing

1362
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: it with Davis Mills, who saw it with the guy

1363
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 1: before him. We've seen it, you know, over the years here.

1364
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 1: But to finish up, we're about to finish up on

1365
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: their own. Yeah. I think people do know, justin fields.

1366
01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 1: You know, he's a first round pick in twenty twenty one.

1367
01:07:00,360 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 1: That name is familiar. He played at the Ohio State University.

1368
01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 1: I think we're obligated to say that. Maybe not. I

1369
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 1: don't know either way. I will never ever use yeah

1370
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: the anyways, he's made some strides. I don't think there's

1371
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: any question about that. And like I think you put

1372
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 1: it perfectly, he's in the process of becoming a good

1373
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 1: young quarterback in this league. But I think a lot

1374
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 1: of people don't really know who the rest of the

1375
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 1: Bears blond, Like, wait, then that's the guy. That's the

1376
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: guy on offense, David Montgomery. Now receiver Darnel Mooney is

1377
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: one of the more exciting receivers. I mean he's he's

1378
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 1: kind of if you shrunk Nico and gave him Brandon

1379
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: Cooks speed. That's kind of what you have with with

1380
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 1: Darniel Mooney. You kind of give you an idea. He's

1381
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:48,000
Speaker 1: a really quality receiver. He's the one throw on the

1382
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: outside could come at at tight end. I think it's

1383
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: a good tight ending at a good game against US

1384
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, but David Montgomery killed us the very

1385
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,439
Speaker 1: first run in the game at twenty twenty. He goes

1386
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: to the house eighty yards and the Texans are almost

1387
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: dead on arrival because of that, I mean that the

1388
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: whole done. You were kind of thinking, well, maybe they

1389
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:06,919
Speaker 1: might make a run in December, and that that got

1390
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 1: snuffed out early because they had played well the week

1391
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 1: before against Indianapolis. But then yeah, bobble the you know,

1392
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 1: bad snap there, costing the game at the end. And

1393
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 1: then the week after that they played Indianapolis and we're

1394
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: going into tie the game in front of the ball

1395
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: at the two. So they had played well in December,

1396
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 1: just in January couldn't come up with any wins. But

1397
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 1: the game that they were completely and totally outclassed wasn't

1398
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:34,639
Speaker 1: that game at Chicago. Now, in that game, Mitchell Trubisky

1399
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 1: was awesome. He threw a lot of passes. Dowlan Robinson,

1400
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 1: who is an awesome receiver, Khalil mac had a sack.

1401
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 1: Safety Keem Hicks played in that game for the Bears,

1402
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 1: had a really solid ball game. Those guys are all gone.

1403
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 1: Those are people, Remember they're all dominator nobody. None of

1404
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 1: them are there, right. Roquan Smith is still there at linebacker.

1405
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: He's a dude. Yeah, Eddie Jackson is still there at safety,

1406
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,639
Speaker 1: and I think even though Eddie has gotten as much

1407
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 1: run because the Bears haven't been as good, he's as

1408
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 1: good a ballhawkers. There's in the middle of the field

1409
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 1: and Jalen Johnson at corner. I think it's a really

1410
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: really good player he's playing that year. I think as

1411
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:12,680
Speaker 1: a rookie against US in twenty twenty, he is a

1412
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: really good player. So they've got some guys and evens

1413
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 1: oh and Less. I forget Robert Quinn, who was one

1414
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 1: of the better edge rushers in the league. Where the

1415
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 1: Bears struggle have been offensively other than David Montgomery. David

1416
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: Montgomery can run the rock. They ran to rock for

1417
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 1: over one hundred yards against the Packers. He killed us

1418
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 1: eighty yard run like you said, Den and Roy, But

1419
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 1: it's the perfect way of putting it. Drew just rammed

1420
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 1: it right there. I mean, the hole was as big

1421
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 1: as his table, and he was like, okay, thank you

1422
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 1: very much, and then he outran everybody to the end zone.

1423
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 1: And the one thing that does worry me in some

1424
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 1: sense drews the fact that by the time you get

1425
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 1: to Week three in the NFL, every team the nicks,

1426
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:53,280
Speaker 1: the bruises, the soreness all that kind of stuff is

1427
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 1: maybe not completely worn off. Maybe you're not as conscious

1428
01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: of wrapping up on tackles. And the first couple of weeks,

1429
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:02,639
Speaker 1: if there has been a knock on the defense, it's

1430
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 1: maybe been that there have been some tackles broken by

1431
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:09,240
Speaker 1: a really good, thick, hard running, fast running back and

1432
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor Javante Williams a compact thick running back. Same thing. Well,

1433
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: David Montgomery is all that. He's even compressed a little

1434
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 1: bit more at five to nine and about two fifteen,

1435
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,639
Speaker 1: and he's gonna make it hurt if you don't wrap

1436
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 1: him up consistently in this game. Okay, last week we

1437
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 1: both had cream of the crops to watch, and I

1438
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,880
Speaker 1: would say neither of them was significant. I think yours

1439
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 1: was a much better choice. You had Mallie Collins, but

1440
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 1: he can't really judge what a guy on the interior

1441
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 1: of the defensive line because stats that's wise what how

1442
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,720
Speaker 1: good he was. Mine nub was Brevin Jordan. It's kind

1443
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 1: of a quieter game for Brev. He's kind of banged

1444
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:55,560
Speaker 1: up too. Anyways, it was interesting because you could you

1445
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,759
Speaker 1: could say that one of the creams of the crop

1446
01:10:57,880 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 1: was Rashime Green and it was his first game as

1447
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:04,680
Speaker 1: a Texan. Now, might we see the Texans debut this

1448
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:07,640
Speaker 1: week of Tyler Johnson, the wide receiver on the other

1449
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 1: side of the ball. He's been inactive the first two weeks,

1450
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 1: kind of steadily getting back into this offense. But this

1451
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 1: could be a piece eventually, whether it's this week, next week,

1452
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 1: or so on and so forth, that could help this

1453
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:22,760
Speaker 1: Texans team out perhaps, right, Yeah, I think so in

1454
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: that receiving core for sure. And the receivers have made

1455
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: some place. I don't think they're they made some place.

1456
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 1: You know, Nico and Brandon both had four catches the

1457
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:35,559
Speaker 1: other day, and Nico had Nico led the team in

1458
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 1: receiving yardage. Yeah, I just kind of automatically assumed it

1459
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:41,400
Speaker 1: was Cooks. But he has those two big receptions and

1460
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 1: there were the I'm about three catches stand out that

1461
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:49,719
Speaker 1: were crossers that they were able to catch and run

1462
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 1: and do something getting up the field. Yeah, that was big.

1463
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: And Tyler I think can be that kind of guy.

1464
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 1: I don't think he's not a he's not a burner

1465
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: like like Brandon. He's not the size of Nico. He's

1466
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: kind of in between. I keep trying to merge everybody today. Um,

1467
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 1: but Tyler's got good hands, he's physical. It's a matter

1468
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:12,600
Speaker 1: of learning what to do, yeah, and learning how the

1469
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 1: Texans do it, and hopefully at some point we'll have

1470
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 1: an opportunity to see him if I were to put

1471
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 1: a spotlight on anybody in this particular game. And I'm

1472
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 1: not saying he's my necessarily my dream of the crop.

1473
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, set up Green in week two, perhaps

1474
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:33,960
Speaker 1: Johnson in week three. Yeah, perhaps in week five we

1475
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:38,680
Speaker 1: see Christian Harris. Yeah, perhaps perhaps Mario Addison, this guy

1476
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: that I'd really like to see. I'd really like to

1477
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 1: see him out on the edge. I mean he's so

1478
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 1: he's so fun to watch. He's got so he's got

1479
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 1: like a bag of tricks. I mean, he's led the

1480
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: Bills in sacks last year. He's like the guy that

1481
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 1: that rolls up, you know, to the black top basketball

1482
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 1: court and he rolls out there and you're like, ah,

1483
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, old man River, here he comes. And then

1484
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, that dude is flipping passes behind

1485
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: his back. He's like watch this, and he bounces one

1486
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 1: between his legs. He's got all these different tricks and things,

1487
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 1: and they're all effective and everybody's going the whole. Yeah,

1488
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 1: y'all think it's old man River. And then all of

1489
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:12,160
Speaker 1: a sudden you look up and he's got two sacks,

1490
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 1: he's had a tackle for a loss, and he's maybe

1491
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,839
Speaker 1: played twenty twenty five plays. So Mary Addison is somebody

1492
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 1: I think the defense definitely can use when he gets back.

1493
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:21,839
Speaker 1: Christian Harris is going to be somebody in this defense

1494
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 1: can use when he gets back, and hopefully that happens

1495
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 1: sooner than later. But I think defensively, if you want

1496
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 1: to go to our cream of the crop, I think

1497
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:35,760
Speaker 1: it's got to be I think it's got to be

1498
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: John Garnard. And John had to sack last week, and

1499
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 1: there's gotta be more. He's got to be able to.

1500
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:44,640
Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying two, three, four sacks. I mean

1501
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 1: that's that's asking for a lot for a guy to

1502
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:48,560
Speaker 1: go get a couple of sacks. But I want to

1503
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 1: see John. I want to see him take over a game,

1504
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 1: quite honestly, and he's got the ability to do that.

1505
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:56,679
Speaker 1: How about this hit the stat buffet line? Yeah, JJ

1506
01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 1: Watt used to do that. He'd have four or five

1507
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 1: tackles everyone sac and a half, a pass or two deflected,

1508
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:05,080
Speaker 1: a force fun Well, you know, it's like you hit

1509
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:07,600
Speaker 1: all the stat lines or all the categories in the

1510
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:11,120
Speaker 1: statistical box score. Let's see Grenard do that. He's capable

1511
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 1: of doing that. Yes, And here's the other thing too,

1512
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 1: And why I also bring up John Grenard. You can

1513
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 1: make him a cream with a crop choice every single

1514
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:19,800
Speaker 1: week he's active. Here's another reason though, why I'm doing it,

1515
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: just because it's Justin Fields and with Justin they're going

1516
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:27,800
Speaker 1: to use him at times like a second running back.

1517
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 1: With Montgomery, it's almost single wing esque where they're gonna

1518
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 1: run quarterback power, they're gonna run zone read. And John

1519
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 1: Grenard showed in against the Colts. Yes it was wildcat,

1520
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:40,600
Speaker 1: but he showed there are different techniques and how you

1521
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 1: can play zone read or power read some of the

1522
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 1: things that Justin and his bears offense will want to do. Now,

1523
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:50,720
Speaker 1: it's not all of that, but Grenard has to play

1524
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:52,720
Speaker 1: a big role in that. Those defensive vans a lot

1525
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:55,439
Speaker 1: of times end up being on blocked, So Justin Fields

1526
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: reads him. Grenard's gotta make his life tough. He's got

1527
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 1: to make those reads murky and cloudy. There are just

1528
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:04,799
Speaker 1: different techniques that you can use, and I think John

1529
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 1: does a good job with all of them. You can

1530
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 1: run straight to the mesh and try and just destroy

1531
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 1: the mess. You can read just like a standard read.

1532
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 1: You can do a flick technique, fake like where the

1533
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 1: flick comes from, fake like you're doing this, but then

1534
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 1: do this. I remember Clowney did that against Bortles back

1535
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:25,479
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen and he got Bortles for a big

1536
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 1: tackle for a loss here. So they're just different things

1537
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 1: you can do, and I think Grenard has got to

1538
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:34,800
Speaker 1: do those things against justin fields in particular. Okay, that's

1539
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:37,000
Speaker 1: your cream of the crop. Us. I'm gonna go with

1540
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:43,040
Speaker 1: Derek Stingley. Oh, the Broncos targeted stingy early often throughout

1541
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:45,600
Speaker 1: the game. They had their victories with them. But to

1542
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 1: be fair, Stingley had his victories to Yes, he did

1543
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 1: right after the touchdown that was not early on that

1544
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 1: got you know, the foot out of bounds. They go

1545
01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:57,800
Speaker 1: right back to, you know, targeting Stingley. He breaks that

1546
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 1: pass up and he's we've seen all ready in two

1547
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,720
Speaker 1: games this year, we've seen Stingley do things that we

1548
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:05,719
Speaker 1: haven't seen a cornerback around here or do maybe since

1549
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 1: Johnathan Joseph's first few years and even then, Yeah, I

1550
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 1: don't know. And I think the Bears, hey, like every

1551
01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: coaching staff in the NFL, they've got smart guys over there,

1552
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: and they say, Okay, there's probably some things we need

1553
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 1: to watch and not do with Stingley, but I think

1554
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 1: we can target this guy. Let's take our chances on him.

1555
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: But with Stingley, I think the rate of learning is

1556
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 1: probably gonna be a little bit more accelerating. And I

1557
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:35,799
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be ready, and I think somebody's gonna

1558
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 1: get their hand bit by Derek Stingley, you know, a

1559
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 1: little too soon, And that's gonna not shut things down,

1560
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 1: But I think you're gonna see a process of well,

1561
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:47,360
Speaker 1: let's stay away from Stingley for a little bit, you know.

1562
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be good for the Texans. I

1563
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 1: think it's gonna happen in due time. I don't know

1564
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 1: how fast it happens, but it's gonna happen in due time.

1565
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that dude is an electric smooth Do you

1566
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:56,800
Speaker 1: think he's gonna take a little bit more time than

1567
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,679
Speaker 1: this week? No, I mean, I think he's gonna show

1568
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 1: tremendous growth, but to where I think he ultimately can go,

1569
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 1: Now that'll take a while because I think he can

1570
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:09,519
Speaker 1: ultimately just his physical skills, just watching his movement skills,

1571
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:13,719
Speaker 1: that the understanding he has his football like Q is

1572
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,120
Speaker 1: is really really good. So I think he can be

1573
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:21,160
Speaker 1: off the charts good. Yeah, but to just make steps,

1574
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 1: that's what you can't all of a sudden go from

1575
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:25,639
Speaker 1: you know, game against Denver and all of a sudden

1576
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 1: Week three, you know, greatest things and slice bread. I

1577
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 1: want to see see progress, but I know where he

1578
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 1: can go. I just don't think he's going to see

1579
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 1: a receiver like which is when I got a little

1580
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:36,760
Speaker 1: bit more confidence as well. And that's one of the No,

1581
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 1: you're right you We're not going to see somebody like Sutton.

1582
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 1: Like I said, Mooney's a different type of receivers. So

1583
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll use the same sort of

1584
01:17:44,160 --> 01:17:48,720
Speaker 1: thought process in tracking they tracked Sutton with Stingley. I

1585
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 1: don't know that they would do that with Mooney. Now

1586
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 1: would there be times maybe yeah, maybe so, but I

1587
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 1: don't know that they'll attack it the same way. Um,

1588
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:00,720
Speaker 1: but they're just things that that you know, secondary's got

1589
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: to clean up, you know, Joe and Petrie um, they

1590
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:05,880
Speaker 1: got to continue to tackle better. I mean, Jalen would

1591
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:07,560
Speaker 1: would tell you that he's missed a few tackles and

1592
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 1: he's another rapid rate of learner. Though I think I

1593
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:13,200
Speaker 1: think that I don't think we're gonna be talking about, oh,

1594
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: he needs to keep tackling better. And look, it's not

1595
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:20,559
Speaker 1: like they're tackling you and me. You know, it's John

1596
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 1: Taylor and Javante Williams and now it's David Montgomery. But

1597
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:27,559
Speaker 1: it puts a premium on your tackling technique. And it

1598
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 1: was something that I asked love you during the week

1599
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:34,160
Speaker 1: when the CBA. Since two thousand eleven, the cbas that

1600
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:37,680
Speaker 1: have come out, they've really minimized the contact you can

1601
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 1: make in practice even early in the season. By the

1602
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 1: time you get the mid season, you're not pads at

1603
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:46,559
Speaker 1: all in practice. So how do you get better tackling,

1604
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 1: especially as a rookie. So from that perspective, that's something

1605
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 1: they definitely have to take strides in getting better and

1606
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:56,719
Speaker 1: just remember their technique, but putting himself in better position too,

1607
01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 1: not flying out of control, just you know, throwing her

1608
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 1: body into some and hopefully he goes down. They got

1609
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 1: to be in control to wrap up and bring down,

1610
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:05,560
Speaker 1: and that's something definitely have to do against David Montgomery.

1611
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:08,280
Speaker 1: All Right, as we wrapped this in the Lab podcast

1612
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 1: up very quickly, your favorite nineteen eighty five Chicago Bear

1613
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 1: Wilbur Marshall. Really, how come that's a good choice because

1614
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:24,720
Speaker 1: he was a nasty so ob because he hit like

1615
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,799
Speaker 1: a mack truck. I loved him more with the Bears

1616
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 1: and I did with the Oilers. Yeah, well, he was

1617
01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 1: better with the Bears. He was just he was a

1618
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:34,719
Speaker 1: he was a freak of nature. I mean a freak

1619
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:37,720
Speaker 1: of nature, and I just thought he was ruthless. I

1620
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 1: just loved that added piece to the Bears. Yeah, Wilbar Marshall,

1621
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:46,960
Speaker 1: give me the backfield, Jim McMahon, William the Refrigerator, Peri

1622
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:49,360
Speaker 1: at fullback, and Walter Payton. Those are my three favorite

1623
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. All Right, you've not taken maybe the most

1624
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 1: underappreciated bear, and that's Matt Suey. You took Matt Suey

1625
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:59,240
Speaker 1: off the field. He was juice check before juice check.

1626
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:04,000
Speaker 1: But I understand, I gotta play the Hits. Dude, play

1627
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:06,519
Speaker 1: you're right, play the Hits. Nice job, nice job to you.

1628
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 1: Always good to talk with you. I love talking about

1629
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:11,520
Speaker 1: the old Chicago Bear. We could do probably eight podcasts

1630
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 1: on the eighty five Bears, even though we have no

1631
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: real connection to them none. But anyhow, that's neither here

1632
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 1: nor there. And we will see you and talk with

1633
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:21,720
Speaker 1: you next time on in the Lab. You better be

Speaker 1: of Wadaburger, not only because the food is fantastic, but Waterburger,

1659
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 1: The Texans and the Houston Food Bank are teaming up

1660
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:59,559
Speaker 1: to help them take on their toughest opponent ever, Houston

1661
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 1: Area Hunger. Just donate a dollar the next time you're

1662
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 1: in an area of water Burger, and that dollar will

1663
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:06,679
Speaker 1: go to help the Houston Food Bank, and you'll even

1664
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:08,799
Speaker 1: get a coupon for a free water Burger would purchase

1665
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:11,400
Speaker 1: i mean thirty two ounces drink and medium fry for

1666
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: every buck that you give. So from now, it's October tenth,

1667
01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 1: give a buck and you'll be a part of the

1668
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:21,320
Speaker 1: team that's wiping out hunger in Houston. Now, so you

1669
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 1: go around in the NFL, let's hit one of the

1670
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,519
Speaker 1: most important things of the day, and that is the

1671
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:31,719
Speaker 1: injury report for the Texans and Bears. Yum. Four people

1672
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 1: did not practice today. Malee Collins dealing a little bit

1673
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 1: of a knee issue. Jerry Hughes not injury related. This

1674
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 1: is restan Wednesday. Brevin Jordan deal with an ankle, Isaac

1675
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:43,880
Speaker 1: Yadam deal with a thigh. Limited participants. Two linebackers, Blake

1676
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 1: Cashman and Commo Grugier Hill Blake with a hip issue,

1677
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: Commu with the neck issue. Full participant. This one was

1678
01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:56,599
Speaker 1: interesting when I saw this. Davis Mills right thumb. Now,

1679
01:22:56,680 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: I tried to think back and look, you never know

1680
01:22:59,240 --> 01:23:01,360
Speaker 1: when you're a quarterback in the NFL, your pocket quarterback,

1681
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:04,720
Speaker 1: like Davis says, you've got all kinds of chaosks going on,

1682
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:07,400
Speaker 1: and there's no telling when you follow through. You hit

1683
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 1: your thumb on a shoulder pad, on the back of

1684
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 1: a guy on a helmet another hand either way. Full participant.

1685
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:17,760
Speaker 1: Watched him throw in practice today and he looked good.

1686
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 1: He looked fine, so something to watch obviously. But Davis

1687
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 1: Mills full participant, dealing with a right thumb issue. Bears

1688
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:27,519
Speaker 1: had four players when you've heard of it before that

1689
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:32,160
Speaker 1: did not participate. Devin's back, Dane Krukshank if you remember

1690
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 1: him from the Titans a few years ago with that

1691
01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 1: fake punt thing that day in twenty eighteen. Just whatever,

1692
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:41,799
Speaker 1: Titan Ryan Griffin, you've heard Ryan, he's dealing with Achillis

1693
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,920
Speaker 1: did not participate. Velis Jones Junior, the rookie wide receiver

1694
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: dealing the hamstring issue, and oh boy, Roquan Smith with

1695
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 1: a hip issue did not participate. Now you if you've

1696
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:58,679
Speaker 1: read my Know your Foe, you know I think very

1697
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 1: very highly of one Roquan Smith. That guy is an

1698
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:07,960
Speaker 1: absolute dude. If he is banged up in any way,

1699
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:12,840
Speaker 1: shape or form, that is huge for the Texans, Absolutely

1700
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 1: massive for the Texans if Rokuan is banged up in

1701
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 1: any way, shape or form. Now, he started and played

1702
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 1: against the Packers and was well his typical badass self.

1703
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 1: He ended up with leven tackles on the night, so yeah,

1704
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 1: he's not did not participate. They deal with that hip,

1705
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:33,840
Speaker 1: So boy, that's one to keep an eye on. He's

1706
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 1: the biggest name of that list, I would imagine. But

1707
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:39,240
Speaker 1: if the Bears are without Roquan smith Man, he is

1708
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:41,840
Speaker 1: the heart, soul engine, He's everything. That would be three

1709
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 1: weeks in a row with the Texans would have missed

1710
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:49,640
Speaker 1: arguably the best player on the other side of the

1711
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:53,280
Speaker 1: football skill Leonard in week one. Last week it was

1712
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,880
Speaker 1: Justin Simmons. Texans really gonna take advantage of Simmons not

1713
01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 1: being there, and this would be Roquan smith Now we'll

1714
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:02,960
Speaker 1: keep an eye on it. Wednesday, Jerry Hughes has a

1715
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 1: rest stand Wednesday, turns up on Sunday. He's fine. Maybe

1716
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 1: Rocan is the same way, but he's dealing with a

1717
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 1: hip issue. There is your injury report for the day now.

1718
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 1: Mark and I were talking about the Amazon the Amazon package,

1719
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 1: if you will, and how many sign ups they had

1720
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 1: during the game and this weekend we Pittsburgh v. Cleveland.

1721
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:28,120
Speaker 1: Nick Chubbs spoke today and he said something and I've

1722
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 1: been waiting for him to say this. He spoke today

1723
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:34,680
Speaker 1: about that and he said, considering what I've done in

1724
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 1: the past, and I know what he's referring to. He's

1725
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:39,840
Speaker 1: referring to the game against the Texans. There's nobody you

1726
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 1: can put that loss on more than me. Now, the

1727
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:44,720
Speaker 1: Browns defense in his defense, something that Mark and I

1728
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 1: really didn't talk about. The Browns defense gave up a

1729
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:50,639
Speaker 1: sixty yard bomb to Corey Davis, then the special teams

1730
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 1: couldn't recover an outside kick, and then the defense gave

1731
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 1: up about a four play drive I think it was,

1732
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,680
Speaker 1: and Flacco was like, zip, zip, zip to touchdown and

1733
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 1: that was it. So yeah, I was harsh on Nick earlier.

1734
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:07,680
Speaker 1: But it's just all about situal, situational awareness. And I

1735
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:09,800
Speaker 1: know people are like, well, I need fast touchdown. It's

1736
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:12,960
Speaker 1: really hard. It's hard for players, I admit. Last year

1737
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:16,600
Speaker 1: when Texas played the Jaguars, Brandy Cooks popped through on

1738
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:18,840
Speaker 1: that screen. We just needed first down. Brandon took it

1739
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 1: to the house. It wasn't probably the right thing to do,

1740
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:24,800
Speaker 1: and the Texans came out of there where a two

1741
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:28,800
Speaker 1: touchdown win. So in the end, okay, but I would

1742
01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: I like to see from a situational awareness side, Brandon

1743
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:32,880
Speaker 1: go down on that one. The very next week against

1744
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 1: the Chargers, Nico Collins, same thing. He didn't need to

1745
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:39,240
Speaker 1: score Davis. They didn't need to score. But Davis knew

1746
01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 1: there's a past tag. You saw it open. He threw it,

1747
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:43,599
Speaker 1: figured put the dagger in him. But now you give

1748
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:45,599
Speaker 1: the ball back to the Chargers. It's the only way

1749
01:26:45,960 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 1: that team can win. If you're given them ball back,

1750
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:51,600
Speaker 1: they've got a shot. They've got a shot. Well the

1751
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: Jets Browns hopefully at that point taught us all a

1752
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:58,719
Speaker 1: lesson in situational aware neis. But it's Steelers and it's

1753
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 1: Browns for tomorrow night and one Jademian Clowney will be

1754
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 1: out of that game. He is out. He is the

1755
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:09,720
Speaker 1: only He's the only player I believe that's out on

1756
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 1: either side. That's not an I R. T. J. Watt's

1757
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 1: gonna be out of that game. But Clowne will be

1758
01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:20,839
Speaker 1: out of that one. Mike Evans suspension up held today.

1759
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 1: He had he had appealed to suspension of the one

1760
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 1: game when he went after Marshawn Lattimore. And those two

1761
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 1: do not like each other. You talk about bad blood,

1762
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 1: holy smokes, those two don't like each other. Somebody else

1763
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,680
Speaker 1: who got a little talking to from the league was

1764
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:43,720
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians. And if you're like, oh yeah, Cardinals coach, no, no, no,

1765
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:51,480
Speaker 1: not Cardinals coach, not Bucks coach. He is a consultant

1766
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 1: advisor to the front office. And he was down on

1767
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:58,280
Speaker 1: the sideline and he was squawking at Marshawn Lattimore. And

1768
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:00,760
Speaker 1: when he was squawking at Marshawn lad More, then Tom

1769
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:04,920
Speaker 1: Brady jumped in. Now Lattimore is beefing with Brady. Then

1770
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:09,920
Speaker 1: incomes Leonard Fournette. Leonard Fournette gets shoved Marshall Latimar starts

1771
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:12,640
Speaker 1: to push Tom Brady and incomes Mike Evans and the

1772
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:16,760
Speaker 1: brew haha is on. Bruce Arians was part of that. Well,

1773
01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:20,480
Speaker 1: he got a little talking to. He needs to go relax,

1774
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 1: speaking and relax days. Wednesday right, That means Tom Brady

1775
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:28,560
Speaker 1: is getting a rest day every single Wednesday. Took a

1776
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:31,679
Speaker 1: long time. It guy's forty five. This will be listen

1777
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 1: as a rest day. Like Jerry Hughes, Tom Brady over

1778
01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:39,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the season will have Wednesday off Wednesdays

1779
01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 1: off at times. Over the past couple of seasons, apparently

1780
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:45,400
Speaker 1: Brady has taken off some Thursdays during the season, but

1781
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:49,600
Speaker 1: not every one. So Blaine Gabbet will be taking the

1782
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:52,680
Speaker 1: reps and Tom Brady will be there it takes some

1783
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 1: mental reps, if you will. I guess he needs them

1784
01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 1: at this point. I don't know. I don't think he does.

1785
01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:00,720
Speaker 1: But he'll be there nonetheless. But ab ready like a

1786
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:04,760
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday. That's a good a guy is. That's

1787
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 1: a story. When he's resting on Wednesdays, that's crazy, man, big.
