Speaker 1: I can watch the game.

16
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 4: I watched the game.

17
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 3: They also fired their offensive line coach.

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: The Chargers also fired their O line coach, Mike Devlin.

19
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: Did we say that? Yeah? Okay, so you reading animo

20
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: that wasn't listening.

21
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 6: Robert Splaine explained how the Chargers were going up to

22
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 6: him after the game, saying that we didn't know what

23
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 6: you said. A really good question.

24
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 4: You ever asked that?

25
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Oh?

Speaker 6: Good job.

27
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: All the Tom Brady theories, et cetera are completely false.

28
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: The truth is it's just a stolen bit?

29
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 4: Yes and no.

30
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 3: Can I get a definition of hard?

Speaker 1: Paul drink real sugar pepsi? The artificial sweetener is way

32
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: worse for you. That's a myth that much like the

00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: rest of your email.

34
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,280

Speaker 4: to three.

36
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,520

62
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: Matt and the booth. But like that, Gonzo posted something

63
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: I guess that kind of indicates that he thinks he

64
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: might be.

65
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 7: You know what.

66
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, he posted on concussed. He posted on his alt account,

67
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 4: so a lot I can't explain it, don't worry. So

68
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 4: there's a lot of.

69
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 9: Just plays sad songs and.

70
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 6: You done, I'm done excited.

71
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 5: Uh.

72
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: So, since these athletes all have like branded accounts now

73
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: that it's like that's like their marketing account, that's their

74
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 4: their brand account. Some of them have alt accounts that

75
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 4: are more personal, that are more like their accounts to y. Yeah,

76
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 4: so he posted on his alt account, uh that he

77
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 4: was listening to his song that was titled I Am Back.

78
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 4: So that's where everybody is getting it from now. He

79
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 4: played last week, so I don't know back, Yeah, I

80
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 4: don't know.

81
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 6: But yeah, there's a.

82
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: Picture of him on the field with Millilliams in the foreground.

83
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: That's encouraging, that's.

84
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: Increasing too much. A caller calling to Catch twenty two

85
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: and brought it up, and I just said, you know,

86
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 4: Mike Ray will talk in an hour and practice will

87
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 4: be in the two o'clock hour today, so speculating will

88
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 4: find their step. Yeah.

89
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: And the thing about Rabel is if he's asked, he'll

90
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: tell you if he's going to play, and he knows.

91
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he knows that.

92
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think that he could with the concussion.

93
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 6: I think it's a little different. But I expect Gonzales

94
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 6: to play, and I don't expect Nico Collins to play

95
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 6: just based on history. Well their reactions yeah, yeah, I

96
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 6: mean yeah, but that's not relevant in his case.

97
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: Mike, Yeah, Well this is tall too.

98
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 9: Is that they I didn't see it, but they said

99
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 9: Nico Collins like had to sit for a minute like before.

100
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: I didn't, but I thought he was carted off.

101
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 6: The post concussion actions of the two players would tell

102
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 6: me neither one of them is going to play. But

103
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 6: the fact that Gonzales made himself seen in the locker room,

104
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 6: I know he didn't officially talk ap is that the

105
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 6: way you put he didn't like officially, can't you guys. Yeah,

106
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 6: but he kind of like let everybody know, yeah, I'm good.

107
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 6: That tells me that he's planning on playing. And I

108
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 6: know it's technically not up to the player, but let's

109
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 6: face it is up to the player because there's ways

110
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 6: to get around it. And I would just use Jared

111
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 6: Wilson as an example. A couple of weeks ago, he

112
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 6: ended a game. I think he spoke was it when did?

113
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 6: I think he spoke late last week and he said

114
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 6: he felt something one of the last plays of the

115
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 6: game against the Jets. I think it was ravens okay, good,

116
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 6: thank you. Then he felt like he was okay during

117
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 6: the course of the week, and you wake up the

118
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 6: next day and you have headaches. He was reporting. So

119
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 6: to me, it's very simple, and I think I applaud

120
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 6: Jared Wilson by the way for taking care of himself

121
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 6: and taking care of his body. I just think it

122
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 6: would have been very easy for him to say, yeah, no,

123
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 6: I'm good, I'm not experiencing it like I have these problems.

124
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 6: I'm a little worried about this. After the game, they

125
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 6: check him out. He's in protocol. Okay, yeah, I'm good

126
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 6: if he wants to play the next game. He was

127
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 6: worried about how he felt, so he ended up missing

128
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 6: two games as a result of the problem, which again

129
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 6: I applaud a player for taking care of himself. But

130
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 6: the flip side of that is there's a million players

131
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 6: that just say yeah, no, no, I'm playing and they just

132
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 6: go out and play. Yeah, that's and like, I'm not.

133
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 6: That's your choice, And I just think it's easy to

134
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 6: get around this stuff.

135
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 9: That's what I'm hoping that maybe Gonzalez woke up and

136
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 9: experienced what Jared Wilson said he experienced, which was had

137
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 9: headaches a couple of days, and then he woke up

138
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 9: one day and he felt good, he felt ready to go.

139
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 3: So hopefully that's what happened, with or without not Collins Gonzalez.

140
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, So that's that's a big thing that we're

141
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: going to keep our eye on.

142
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we'll keep an eye on Collins too, I mean,

143
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: just for you know, you never know.

144
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 6: But I didn't think Ryan's sounded too optimistic on Monday

145
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 6: when he when he spoke about Colin.

146
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 4: And this is also his second concussion of the season.

147
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 4: I think he missed the game or maybe two earlier

148
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 4: this season with the concussion. Normally when it's the second

149
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 4: one too, that it's even stricter in terms of the

150
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 4: independent neuros to get him back on the field.

151
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: So even if Gonzalez is gonna play, look to him

152
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: to be not a full participant today.

153
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, he's got to get through the he said

154
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 3: Red Jersey would be the first step.

155
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: So don't freak out if you see the participation report

156
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: and he's you know, I.

157
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: Mean, if he's out there, it's a great sign. I

158
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: mean it probably would be in a Red Jersey.

159
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 6: The only thing that would cause me to have concern

160
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 6: is if he's not out there at all. I expect

161
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 6: him to be out.

162
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: There, so we'll see, Okay. So that's that's one thing

163
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: we're looking at. The other thing is, uh, we were

164
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 1: talking yesterday, is it worth the discussion about Ben Brown

165
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: versus Jared Wilson.

166
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 7: Uh?

167
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: You know any way Evan that from practice, you'll know.

168
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 4: That or maybe maybe not ways that we're technically supposed

169
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 4: to share publicly, but but you know, we might get

170
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 4: Sometimes they'll give you a little hints, but they really

171
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 4: you know, don't like us coming out and do.

172
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: You think someone will ask the quest the director?

173
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 4: I hope so today. And you know, we talked about

174
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 4: this on the show too earlier in the catch Wine

175
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 4: two and you know it's not gonna be me, but

176
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 4: somebody like maybe trying to get a little bit more

177
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 4: color out of Rabel as to why they're so committed

178
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 4: to Jared Wilson. I think is it would be nice.

179
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to kill Jared Wilson at all. It's

180
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 4: just I think it's the line's been better with Ben

181
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 4: Brown at left guard than it has been with Jared Wilson.

182
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 4: So it would be nice to kind of understand the

183
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 4: thought process there a little bit more as to why,

184
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 4: because I agree with Paul I thought last week he

185
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 4: was really quick to shut it down as even the

186
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 4: conversation about you know, making a switch there, So maybe, okay.

187
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: What else do we want to put on the table.

188
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 9: I just didn't notice they signed Daryl Taylor to the

189
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 9: practice squad this morning, which was reported by Ian Rappaport,

190
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 9: who's played played some snaps in the league, was on

191
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 9: Texas the Texans. I think he came up with Seattle initially,

192
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 9: but he.

193
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: Recently Texans this year.

194
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 6: Oh no, like this year.

195
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: Just so, is it an informational signing.

196
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 6: That's the speculation?

197
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

198
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 9: Perhaps, I mean it's but he is a pass rusher guy,

199
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 9: you know, so maybe adding some behind Chase On.

200
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 3: And no, I really didn't. I didn't notice Harold Landry

201
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 3: at all.

202
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 4: No, but I just like find the weird, like the

203
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 4: phrasing of the tweet that and.

204
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: He very likely could be elevated well Sunday.

205
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 4: Thank you to Derell Taylor's agent for that text message,

206
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 4: d in Rapaport. But like I, so, they have Chase On,

207
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 4: they have Landry, who might might not be playing particularly

208
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: well with that knee, but is playing and hell is active.

209
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 4: They have Ponder, they have Jennings. So now this Taylor

210
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 4: guy off the street is gonna come in and play

211
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 4: over Jennings or Ponder. Yeah, Like I just that didn't

212
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 4: add up to me.

213
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: The other thing to look at is if somebody pops

214
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: up on the injury report today that we don't know about.

215
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 4: Sure, sure, but that's the only thing that I could

216
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 4: think of is maybe Landry is going back.

217
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: I just can't couldn't do it.

218
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, I think you.

219
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: Only put like fort I mean, it wasn't much.

220
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't So we'll have a vrabel at one ten

221
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: again one ten. He's going, I don't like that. I

222
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: like it when it was right at one.

223
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got your meal coming.

224
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 6: To eat, first grinder.

225
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So that's that. Anything else, well, I

226
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: mean all out from yesterday. I mean Tomlin stepped down.

227
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: I don't did that happen right after? It was right

228
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: after the show, right after the show.

229
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, I got. I mean, it's weird that he stepped down.

230
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 9: I mean that kind of smelled to me like, we

231
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 9: don't fire coaches here, so how about you step down?

232
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 3: You know, that kind of like an agreement type of situation.

233
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, they're moving on, but it's crazy that those two

234
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 9: guys have been institutions since the early two thousands in

235
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 9: their respective to.

236
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: Asc North talking about John Harbaugh and so it's.

237
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 9: Gonna be it's gonna be a lot different next year,

238
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 9: you know, with with that division and just different coaches,

239
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 9: different vibes, I mean clean, you know, I feel like

240
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 9: Pittsburgh will somehow find another one of their guys and

241
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 9: they'll continue to look as they have looked, like they

242
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 9: just seem to always stay within the family.

243
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 6: But you know, Tomlin wasn't well.

244
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 3: I mean maybe I misspoke on that.

245
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: Like it's they just going on.

246
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 6: You know, they have like three coaches since nineteen sixty nine.

247
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, and it's always this like, you know, defenses are

248
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 9: pretty good, I mean outside the box.

249
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 6: Kind of hires too. Like that's you know, and you know,

250
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 6: I was talking to Evan a little bit this morning.

251
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 6: You know, I've seen Brian Floores his name sort of

252
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 6: attached there. I think that would make some sense, ye,

253
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 6: like you were talking about that same kind of defensive

254
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 6: minded guy. I don't know, maybe they have to go

255
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 6: in a different direction and get some offense. He was

256
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 6: there last year, two years ago, a short amount of

257
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 6: time there with in between jobs.

258
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 9: I mean, good thing you got Vrabel when you did

259
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 9: is nine openings right now. I mean it would probably

260
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 9: be a free for all if you were, you know,

261
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 9: maybe trying to make a move this year.

262
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: Listen.

263
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 6: Timing, I think there was eight last year, right.

264
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: Timing is everything when it comes to being able to

265
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: be in that quarterback class when you needed one, to

266
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: be able to get Rabel when you needed a coach. Yeah,

267
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: and Lifetiming is everything.

268
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: Now it's not gonna happen because you know, John Harbor

269
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 4: already has his pick of the litterate. Sounds like, and

270
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 4: there's what Falcons, Titans, and Giants right now with John Harbaugh,

271
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 4: it seems like the teams he's setting up with. But like,

272
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 4: I would just like to see some team like make

273
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 4: some innovative hires that are not just retreads of two

274
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 4: coaches that haven't won anything in the league in a decade,

275
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 4: if we're being honest, Like it's just Tom Wins lost

276
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 4: seven straight playoff games. He won one Super Bowl with

277
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 4: Roethlisberger fifteen years ago, and the same can be said

278
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 4: about John Harbaugh, and like at some point, it's like

279
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 4: it just gets tired, Like and I just I like,

280
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 4: I like it when other guys get opportunities that, you know,

281
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 4: are maybe a little bit more up and coming, a

282
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 4: little bit more innovative, you know, head of the curve

283
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 4: type hires instead of we're just gonna hire John Harbaugh

284
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 4: because he's going to be stable coach and will win

285
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 4: a games.

286
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you're an owner, you're looking for stability.

287
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: I get that, you know, but like, you know, have

288
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 4: some cojones and like make a bold Higher.

289
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean I could see both sides of

290
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 6: that argument. I mean, I know what Evan's talking about.

291
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 6: And there's been plenty of those guys that have been

292
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 6: home runs, like Sean McVay and Evans Boy, Kyle Shanahan

293
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 6: and Kevin O'Connell I think, you know, with Minnesota is

294
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 6: one of those. Ben Johnson's another one. But there's also

295
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 6: there's there's also a lot of you know, Jonathan Gannon's

296
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 6: and you know guys that sort of cycle out quickly.

297
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 6: You know, I wouldn't, you know, like Brian Dable, Like

298
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 6: I wouldn't close my close the door on Brian Dable.

299
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 6: I would look at that as an option, you know

300
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 6: me too, even though it didn't work. Even though he's

301
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 6: a retreat you know, the Patriots would vrabel to me.

302
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 4: That's different though he's not a guy that spent twenty

303
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 4: years in the same place.

304
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 6: Oh no, no, no, I know you're talking about two specific guys.

305
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 6: Those those are too unique, And I know it sounds funny,

306
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 6: too unique, but they are. I mean, eighteen and nineteen

307
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 6: years that doesn't happen all And.

308
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: The thing about the two of them is they're still

309
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: relatively young. Like it's not like Pete Carroll or Andy Reive,

310
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: but he.

311
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 6: Was, like sixty six is as young as you think.

312
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: It looks good.

313
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 6: He does look good.

314
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: It looks good, you know. But a lot of times

315
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: when you get like the Tom Landry's and like Marvel,

316
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: it's time. Yeah, not just for that team, but to

317
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: quit coaching. Sure, these guys have a lot of years

318
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: left in him.

319
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 4: I understand this stability thing. And you know, there's definitely

320
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 4: a world where you hire a John Harbaugh and he

321
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 4: just gets you to eight or nine, ten wins because

322
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 4: he's just a good football coach. But at the same time, like,

323
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 4: I don't think there's been a more talented team in

324
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 4: the league than Baltimore the last.

325
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 6: I don't think there's any since they.

326
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 4: Drafted Lamar basically and they won nothing. They didn't even

327
00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 4: make us.

328
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: Well when you say one nothing, they've gotten close.

329
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 4: They've gotten to AFC Championship game and got blown out, right,

330
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: But like that's an achievement.

331
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 6: But well, didn't they blow that game against the Chiefs

332
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 6: with like three fumbles inside the five yard line. That's

333
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 6: a game I didn't see on account I was at

334
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 6: my son's football back, which I'm still mad at I'm

335
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 6: not going to.

336
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 4: Say he remember every detail of all all their playoff games,

337
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 4: so I trust Paul Well.

338
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, getting blown out and losing by

339
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 6: a touchdown when they sung them three times inside the

340
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 6: ten is two different things.

341
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 4: They have not performed well in the playoffs, and it's

342
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 4: held against Lamar all the time that he's not a

343
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 4: good playoff quarterback. And I just, like I said, I

344
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 4: just feel like, you know, how much, like how much

345
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 4: longer are you gonna like keep going to the well?

346
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 4: Like seven straight playoff losses for Tomlin and like he

347
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 4: also didn't like win a ton when they had Big

348
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 4: Ben and Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown and they had

349
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 4: some of the most talented teams in the league during

350
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 4: that period of time.

351
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 6: I would agree with you on both counts. I don't

352
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 6: think either one of those guys is won as much

353
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 6: as they should have, especially Tomlin early in his earlier

354
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 6: in his tenure, had really really good teams.

355
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: And the Patriots beat them a lot.

356
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 6: Well, everybody beat them a lot in play Like they

357
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 6: lost to Jacksonville at home.

358
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, like that game, like both those teams comparing it

359
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 9: to the Patriots both those teams have been able to

360
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 9: draft superstars pretty consistently. Like you know, I mean I

361
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 9: go down the list of t J. Watt and Antonio

362
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 9: Brown and everybody in between. But it's almost why the

363
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 9: Patriots kind of bought them it out. I feel like

364
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 9: like they missed on those drafts. Like like Pittsburgh and

365
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 9: Baltimore continue to find some star players here and there.

366
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 9: You know, not they're not overwhelmingly, but it's enabled them

367
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 9: to kind of key stay afloat.

368
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: Steele's problem is they haven't. They never really were able

369
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: to replace Roethlisberg.

370
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, they didn't bought them out because you know, and

371
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 6: it's a testament to him that they weren't good enough,

372
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 6: I mean, bad enough to bought them out. But that

373
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 6: is part of it. And to Evan's point, like you know,

374
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 6: Baltimore losing at home in some of these you know,

375
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 6: they lost the Rabels, Titans at home, They lost to

376
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 6: the game that we're talking about, to the Chiefs at home.

377
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 6: Same thing with Tomlin. Too many home playoff losses. You know,

378
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 6: I wouldn't count this one necessarily as that they were

379
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 6: underdogs in the game. This is an interesting stat though,

380
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 6: Like you talk about this nine openings. Now, Andy Reid

381
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 6: is now the longest tenured guy everybody, would you know,

382
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 6: it's been around a while. Who do you think is next? Oh,

383
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 6: Sean McVay. Sean McVay is one of them.

384
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know he's in.

385
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 6: Kyle Shannon hands another yeah, and Sean McDermott. Those are

386
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 6: the next three tenured coaches, all or hired in seventeen

387
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 6: like after that, Matt lefluor Zach Taylor Like a right,

388
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 6: these guys just got hired. Yeah, these are the longest

389
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 6: tenured coaches in the league.

390
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: That's interesting.

391
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 9: Well with McDermott, do you think he might be in

392
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 9: danger if the Bills were to lose to Broncos this weekend?

393
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: I do?

394
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 3: Does it influence you?

395
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 6: I no longer think that he's in Yeah, I mean.

396
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 9: Do you think it's an influence at all that you're

397
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 9: so late in the process now, Like, I mean, I

398
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 9: know there nobody's been hired yet, but is there a

399
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 9: disadvantage to firing your quotes later than everyone else there?

400
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 3: You know, other interviews are already going on.

401
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: You don't get the cream of the crop.

402
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 3: I've always been hired.

403
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 6: I don't know.

404
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just if.

405
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 6: You know he's.

406
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 4: Waiting Monday morning the Bills fire, Sean McDermott, you're changing

407
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 4: your entire.

408
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: Which I think is why, which might be why they're

409
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: waiting watch I think that's his camp.

410
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I think he's waiting till all the information

411
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 6: is available, yeah, before because I think he's in a

412
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 6: unique situation where he can kind of pick and choose

413
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 6: where he wants to go, and he's going to make

414
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 6: sure that he doesn't agree to anything before. It's I

415
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 6: don't even think he's had interviews yet.

416
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 4: He's he has them lined up with the Giants, Titans,

417
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 4: and Falcons are the three teams that I think at

418
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 4: the by the end of the week he's supposed to

419
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 4: have interviews with. But uh yeah, I just with McDermott.

420
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 4: I I they have a weird allegiance to that guy

421
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 4: and he won a playoff game. They you know, if

422
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 4: they had been one and done, I think it was

423
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 4: definitely on the table. Now if they get blown out

424
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 4: by Denver, then like maybe, but yeah.

425
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 6: I'm not saying they lose a chance if they lose

426
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 6: a competitive game to Denver.

427
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: I it's this weird thing where they keep on saying

428
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 4: like do you remember what it was like before, like

429
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 4: in between, like you know, the team in the nineties,

430
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 4: and it's like, you know, yeah, they just have like

431
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 4: a weird allegiance to.

432
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 6: Make may all right.

433
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: Well, Wednesdays the day we turned the page and we

434
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: turned it to the Texans. What's the line?

435
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 6: Now we know it's three last favorite. It's a favorite

436
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 6: by three.

437
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: Hat just favored by three. I like that. That's a

438
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: fair spread. I would say that's interesting, a fair spread.

439
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 6: So I agree with you. Yeah, Mike Felder thinks it's

440
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 6: most sign of disrespect.

441
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 4: Oh really, he's really he's really looking for.

442
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 6: I was listening to him when I was driving home

443
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 6: yesterday and I just thought it was you know, it's

444
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 6: and it gives him an opportunity to do it. It's

445
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 6: showing you that they still don't believe in you, they

446
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 6: don't believe in your schedule and blah blah blah blah.

447
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 6: And I'm like, the last I saw, the Bills are

448
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 6: favored by a point and a half in Denver, Like,

449
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 6: so what do you say about that?

450
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: Right, Well, that's Josh Allen.

451
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 6: No no, no, but like the Bills aren't as good as

452
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 6: the Patriots.

453
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 3: That line's flopped.

454
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 4: It's Broncos minus one and a half.

455
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 6: Now, yeah, but that means a lot of money came

456
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 6: in on Denver and it's changed the line. It was

457
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 6: the Bills favored, and I would say even at a

458
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 6: point and a half, that's a lot more disrespect to

459
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 6: Denver than the Patriots.

460
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 7: Yeah.

461
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, the number one seed at home and what did

462
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 6: they do? They played the third warst schedule. It's another

463
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 6: example of they just don't believe in these teams that

464
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 6: had these gaudy records. Now I'm not telling you they're right, wrong,

465
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 6: or indifferent, but that's what those lines tell me.

466
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 3: Does this happen a lot?

467
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: Though?

468
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 9: Do you feel like every year in the league there

469
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 9: are a couple of really good teams that just have

470
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 9: the schedule? I mean, is it only coming to light

471
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 9: for us now because it's becoming a talking point for

472
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 9: the Patriots, But is this what happens every year that

473
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 9: the teams who have every schedule?

474
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 4: The Eagles had one of the easier schedules last year,

475
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 4: if I'm not mistaken. Obviously, everybody always goes back to

476
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 4: the ninety nine rams because it supports the Patriots argument

477
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 4: that you can still be a great team and against

478
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 4: an easy schedule. I agree with you, do is. I

479
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 4: think that this topic has come up more this year now.

480
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 4: It's probably the Patriots schedule by a lot of metrics

481
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 4: is historically and.

482
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 6: I agree with both both points.

483
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I agree with that. And I think one

484
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: of the reasons why it's such a big topic is

485
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: people were trying to explain how this four and thirteen

486
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: team that was just terrible had this sudden turnaround, you know.

487
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 6: And there's a lot of reasons that are beyond this schedule.

488
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 6: I mean, first of all, they completely turned the roster over, yeah,

489
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 6: you know, forgetting about the new coach and the quarterback's

490
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 6: second year leap, which is the biggest thing to me

491
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 6: is Drake May. But they also have two dozen players

492
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 6: they weren't here last year that are playing significant roles.

493
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: Because we know, we know that it has more to

494
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: do with the schedule, but people would look, you know, like,

495
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: what the hell's going on over there?

496
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 3: I mean, Drake Man is a good place.

497
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: Listen. When during the Brady years, I remember there were

498
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: years where it was a pretty easy schedule. In other

499
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: years were well they had to go through the gauntlet.

500
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean, well, we played a lot of you know,

501
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: good teams.

502
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 6: You just said, like especially defense, but Will Campbell, Jared Wilson,

503
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 6: Garrett Bradberry, Morgan, Moses, Traveon, Henderson's, Stefan Diggs, Mac Collins.

504
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 6: Let's just right off the top of my head, seven

505
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 6: really important offensive players that weren't here last year. They

506
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 6: completely turned the roster over. They had a phenomenal spring,

507
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 6: and I know Rabel made light of it, you know, like,

508
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 6: you know, we won the off season, like, you know,

509
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 6: making a joke about it.

510
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 4: But they did.

511
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 3: They did.

512
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 6: They hit it out of the park.

513
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was. The results are in.

514
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 4: I just feel like between the Patriots as a team

515
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 4: and obviously with all this Drake May MVP stuff, the

516
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 4: strength of schedule has come up in these debates more

517
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 4: than any year that I can remember. That it that it's.

518
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 6: Such a big deal. Think you nailed it, I think

519
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 6: both of you.

520
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 4: And that Drake May played a softer schedule than Matthew Stafford,

521
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 4: that he might lose the MVP because of the opponents

522
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 4: that he played against. I don't remember that happening before,

523
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 4: you know, I just looked it up. The Eagles last year,

524
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 4: according to d v A had the twenty ninth easy

525
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 4: you know, hardest or fourth easiest.

526
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 6: Ever scheduled, and it's because the division was really wretchedly bad.

527
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they they had an easy schedule. Last year

528
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 4: they won the Super Bowl? Does anybody care?

529
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: You know?

530
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 4: Like so I do think it does happen, maybe more

531
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 4: than you realize, but I it's been a huge part

532
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 4: of the narrative this year for some reason.

533
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: And I think up until this point beyond May, I

534
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: think a lot of people said their personnel's not that good,

535
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: but maybe their depth isn't that good.

536
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 6: But maybe the depth isn't that good, but they have improved.

537
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: It's a little better than we thought it was.

538
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 6: I would agree for it.

539
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 9: Yes, I would definitely agree with that because I would say,

540
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 9: my probably go to the preseason and I'm sitting here

541
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 9: saying what happens if they lose Ballayne and Landry and

542
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 9: I mean.

543
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah they did.

544
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 9: They held the you know it held the four while

545
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 9: they could, but you know with the left tackle Varian

546
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 9: Low having to play. I mean we talked about that

547
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 9: in the training camp, like critical.

548
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 6: Defense showed like they couldn't stop anybody running the ball

549
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 6: when those guys were out. It was night and day.

550
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 6: They were like historically good when Williams before Williams got hurt,

551
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 6: but they were still what for and one no what

552
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 6: that Drake May but like they couldn't I'm saying they

553
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 6: were badly affected by those personnel losses.

554
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,959
Speaker 3: Sure, but they still won the games. Sure, but they

555
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 3: but not and you don't even care about the run, Paul.

556
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 6: I'm just saying, but they were greatly said they missed

557
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 6: those guys.

558
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 9: And they badly missed the Yeah no, I'm not saying

559
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 9: that it wasn't drop off, but it wasn't catastrophe.

560
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 3: And Varian Low Drake for those loss like yeah, yeah,

561
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 3: he also could have scored at the end too.

562
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 9: I mean, you know it's Vaderian Lowe didn't get Drake

563
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 9: May killed like those are you.

564
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 6: Know, say and low I think played really well. I

565
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 6: don't think you missed anything there. I think on the

566
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 6: other side of the ball, I missed Milton Williams and

567
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 6: Roberts Blaine.

568
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, I'm missaying. I'm not saying you didn'

569
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 3: miss him.

570
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 6: But like I noticed that those guys weren't fill.

571
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 3: In and do okay, like I thought it would have

572
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 3: been catastrophe.

573
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 9: That you don't have your like I I mean looking

574
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 9: at what they did last year with Christianallis and when

575
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 9: he was thrust into like into this hot.

576
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: One injury away from this thing collapse.

577
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 4: It was pretty bad against Buffalo and then it and.

578
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 6: I think it was pretty bad against Baltimore until John

579
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 6: Harball you're a guy who's now fired, decided not to

580
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 6: keep running that.

581
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 4: Guy, or when Lamar got hurt in that game.

582
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, but but yeah, I think I look like when

583
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 6: they played good teams, I noticed those guys weren't there,

584
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 6: is my point, And I didn't really you know, uh,

585
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 6: they won the games, well, they won some of the games, and.

586
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 4: They would have beaten Buffalo.

587
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 3: Those two guys Williams, I think they would have.

588
00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay. P five hundred is the Hotline podcast at

589
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: Patriots dot Com. Is the email address. We'll have Mike

590
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: Rabel at about one ten today. It should be a

591
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: very informative and interesting press conference, so we'll have that

592
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: live on the show. So let's open it up. We'll

593
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: see what everybody has to say. The emails are coming in,

594
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: the calls are stacked up. People are excited, and why not.

595
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: Sam's in Easton what's up, Sam?

596
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, how you doing good?

597
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 3: Hey?

598
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 11: Hey, I want to make one point. I have a

599
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 11: message for Patriots Nation.

600
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: Okay, all right.

601
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 11: I think everybody is critically underrating the Texans. I think

602
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 11: they're the toughest opponent we've had all year. This is

603
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 11: a team that had a brutal schedule, started zero to three.

604
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 11: They're riding a ten game win streak. They've taken care

605
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 11: of business and they won a bunch of games without

606
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 11: their QB.

607
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 4: Who's underrating the Texas mess?

608
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 11: Everybody in the national media. Everyone's talking about the Bills.

609
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 11: You don't want to play the Bills, the Broncos or

610
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 11: the one seed. Look, the Texans have the probably the

611
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 11: two best pass rushers, like the best tandem I've seen

612
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 11: since Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware. So I think they're

613
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 11: going to force straight into some turnovers. So it's gonna

614
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 11: be it's gonna be a rough game, but I think

615
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 11: the difference is really gonna be we can get to

616
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 11: shroud and if we can have some guys step up

617
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 11: our twos and threes and run the ball. So want

618
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 11: to here, curious what you guys think about that? And

619
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 11: I have a message for the Patriots fans as well.

620
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: Let's do the message.

621
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 11: All right, I'm Steed the ticket holder is there Sunday night.

622
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 11: You know, everybody's talking about how loud it was. It

623
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 11: was great, but I think we can do better. I

624
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 11: think we can be the loudest team this weekend. And

625
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 11: I think if you're somebody who's been looking at ticket

626
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 11: sitting at home, wand to go, call up your buddies,

627
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 11: call your dad, bring your kid, you know, go out

628
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 11: and buy tickets. It was two hundred and thirty bucks

629
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 11: to get in when I checked earlier. Let's be on

630
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 11: our feet the whole game, and let's be loud and

631
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 11: force some turnovers.

632
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: Okay, gotcha?

633
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 6: Okay, well, high apparel.

634
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about your first question. And thanks for

635
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: the call, Sam.

636
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 4: I just I don't Yeah, I didn't mean to like

637
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 4: snap at him. I just like who Like, I've heard

638
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 4: nothing but how good this defense is, and rightfully so,

639
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 4: I but like, all I keep hearing about is that

640
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 4: you can't move the ball on this defense.

641
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: So as the season ended, most people say, you know,

642
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: the team that you should be most worried about is Houston.

643
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 6: Right exactly, Like I think that's been around here. That's

644
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 6: why I've heard a lot about it around here. Nationally.

645
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 6: I kind of agree. I mean, not that the people

646
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 6: are overlooking Houston, because I don't think Houston's being disrespected,

647
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 6: but I think the Patriots are getting a lot of love.

648
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 6: I think people are expecting the Patriots to move on

649
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 6: and kind of with them.

650
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: They have the highest percentage chance to go to the

651
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl in the AFC by the odds makers.

652
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I maybe it is more. You know, obviously we're

653
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 4: so close to it, so maybe it's that. But in

654
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 4: our shows, every time we'd make lists of who are

655
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 4: the teams you don't want to face, I feel like

656
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 4: everybody's list had Houston either one or two.

657
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 6: Like I think it was Buffalo. Yeah.

658
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 4: And this defense, you know, all I hear every day

659
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 4: is about how great this defense is good.

660
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 6: And the callers but probably right, and you know, people

661
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 6: don't want to hear it. This probably is the toughest

662
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 6: team that they've played all year. Oh yeah, absolutely, I

663
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 6: mean the way, I don't want to use the word again,

664
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 6: I'll skip it.

665
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: The weird part for me is that CJ.

666
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 9: Stroud hasn't looked that great, and I really like going

667
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 9: back to last year the performance he had, you know,

668
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 9: where he's like willing the team with one leg like

669
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 9: you know Josh Allen did.

670
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 3: And that's what That's why I'm struggling to.

671
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 9: Get a beat on it, because I'm wondering is he

672
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 9: going to play better or is he going to be.

673
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 3: That's the same.

674
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 9: He was key to the game last week, you know,

675
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 9: you know, even going into that game before watching it.

676
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 9: And I know he's had some struggles this season and

677
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 9: hasn't been as good as it was. But I felt

678
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 9: coming into this season my opinion of CJ. Stroud was

679
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 9: really high, and then watching some of these games over

680
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 9: the year, it's just what's going on, you know. I mean,

681
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,959
Speaker 9: he's had an Eco Collins, who also I remember had

682
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 9: a kind of a breakout preseason game here. I think

683
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 9: it was way back in like twenty one.

684
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 4: Maybe everybody knows Gonzo's rookie year, and everybody is freaking

685
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 4: out about Gonzo because like Nico, Collins is burning and

686
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 4: then it turns on the side, it turns out Collins

687
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 4: was an awesome receiver.

688
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So I I don't know if c J.

689
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 6: Stroud plays the way he did Monday night, the Texans

690
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 6: are not going to win this game. I don't care

691
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 6: how well their defense plays. I just they're not gonna

692
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 6: They're not gonna do that twice in a row. They're

693
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 6: not going to overcome you know. So let's let's read

694
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 6: three turnovers and let's play this game.

695
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: If the Patriots defense plays as well as it did

696
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: last week, but to the callest point, the Texans forced

697
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: may into some mistakes, who wins Patriots.

698
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 4: The Patriots defense plays as well as they did last week,

699
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 4: They're going to give up three points.

700
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: They could still still give up more points and play

701
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: as well well if Texas around their game.

702
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 6: What if Stroud plays better than Herbert. I mean, I

703
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 6: guess Stroud handles that better than her.

704
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 4: He could, I I don't. I'm kind of with Deuce,

705
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 4: like I just haven't seen him do it really since

706
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 4: his rookie year.

707
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 6: See. I thought when he threw the ball Monday night,

708
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 6: he looked good from clean pockets. But the mishandling of

709
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 6: the snaps is inexcusable. And if you do that, like

710
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 6: even when you're like I keep saying he fumbled five times,

711
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 6: and people are like, well, yo, what they only lost

712
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 6: two of the fun right, when you fumble a snap

713
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 6: and it becomes third and eighteen, that series is basically

714
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 6: over multiple times, and it happened repeatedly in that game.

715
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 6: If they do that, whether they recover the fumble or not,

716
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 6: if they do that Sunday, they're not going to win.

717
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 6: If he puts the ball on the ground five times

718
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 6: and throws a pick in the red zone, they're not

719
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 6: going to win.

720
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: And I will bet he will not. That's not gonna I'm.

721
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 6: Going to guess that he's going to play closer to

722
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 6: the way he's played the rest of his career, which

723
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 6: is pretty good.

724
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 4: I mean, they in the regular season, they barely turned

725
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 4: the ball over. Yeah, you know, this was a one.

726
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 6: Game he kept making. Joe Buck made a big thing

727
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 6: out of that, like they have more turnovers.

728
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 9: To seventeen, but even some of the turn ups you

729
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 9: watched that, Like I was just watching the shoot was

730
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 9: at the Buffalo game, one of them this year. I

731
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 9: was just kind of glancing at quick and it was

732
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 9: like same thing though, like some brain fart decisions from CJ.

733
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 9: Stroud are like whoa, whoa, whoa, you're you know, and

734
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 9: he's off his back foot and you know, maybe he's

735
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 9: not seen it quite as as cleanly as he wants to.

736
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 9: But to go back to your question, Fred, I just

737
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 9: will get like really granular and be like, what is

738
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 9: the impact of the turnovers? Because I kind of agree that,

739
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 9: like there's a good chance that Texans already to force

740
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 9: Drake May, But where do they happen? So the zone

741
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 9: or I think I agree with that.

742
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: If the Patriots defense plays as well as it did

743
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: last week and May makes mistakes, I think the Patriots

744
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: the team will be able to overcome those mistakes because

745
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: the defense is playing well and when May does do

746
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: his thing, it'll be enough.

747
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 6: It's basically how Houston won Monday night.

748
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that in that scenario, if you

749
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: get to.

750
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 6: The defense played well enough to overcome the mistakes.

751
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: I think in that scenario, if the Patriots get to

752
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: twenty points, they win the game.

753
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 6: Yeah.

754
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 9: Well, it's the things like Rabel highlighted off, the quick

755
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 9: change with the defense and the red zone stops like

756
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 9: those to me, if Drake turns them over, is it

757
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 9: inside your territory? Can your defense come out on that

758
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 9: quick change and stick for with the field goal? Like

759
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 9: those things I think are what they're going to have

760
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 9: to do because it it might be whose mistakes are

761
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 9: more constantly there that they usually make the playoffs.

762
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, when you look at just like the Texans

763
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 4: offense in terms of like you know, drive efficiency and

764
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 4: stuff like that, Like they they get so much help

765
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 4: field position wise from the defense. You know, the defense

766
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 4: puts them on so many short fields or advantageous field

767
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 4: position or just flat out scores on its own.

768
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 6: They score it twice that it really inflates their points

769
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 6: per game number. So like they're thirteenth in the league

770
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 6: and points per game, but they're twenty first in the

771
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 6: league in points per drive because they don't score on offense,

772
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 6: like you know, the defense at the end of the day,

773
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 6: like and again that just might be one. It's scary

774
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 6: when you do this, but like Monday, the points per

775
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 6: drive was probably horrific. Yeah, but they had four hundred

776
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 6: yards of offense. Yeah, like they were moving the ball.

777
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 6: The quarterback just kept dropping it. I don't think that's

778
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 6: how they didn't score.

779
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 4: That's not how what happened for them the whole season.

780
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 6: I said, it's dangerous when you watch one week.

781
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 4: Right, you know, because if you look at their and

782
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 4: over eight during the regular season, it was one of

783
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 4: the best in the league offensively. So, like I think

784
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,959
Speaker 4: that if you can put the Texans offense on long

785
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 4: fields and you make CJ. Stroud go sixty five seventy

786
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 4: yards to the end zone every time, then you're going

787
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 4: to be in good shape. If you turn the ball

788
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,479
Speaker 4: over and it's going the other way and it's either

789
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 4: obviously a touchdown for the defense or a short field

790
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 4: for the offense, that's when the Texans start to run

791
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 4: it up on teams, is when the defense is feeding

792
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 4: the offense. So even if you turn the ball over

793
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 4: like it, just turn it over and you're in their

794
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 4: side of the field, right, Like, they at.

795
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: Least make one of the better teams creating turnovers.

796
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're third in the league in takeaways. They're they're

797
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 4: up there with Chicago and Jacksonville. Jacksonville is number one

798
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 4: in the league in that they're third in the league

799
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 4: in takeaways. They have scored I think five defensive touchdowns.

800
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 4: That's not that's regular season, that's not including the two

801
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 4: that they scored on Monday night. So yet that's there.

802
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 4: That's really driving all of this is that they turn

803
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 4: the ball over a lot. Uh, They get a lot

804
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 4: of really good field position for their offense. Their offense

805
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 4: is middling, but when you have all those things working

806
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 4: in your favor, it makes it easier to play offense.

807
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 9: Do you guys ever remember a previous Patriots playoff matchup

808
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 9: with this kind of preview where you're going against the

809
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 9: you know, really good defense, Like I'm kind of thinking

810
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 9: of Seattle like it was. I just I don't remember

811
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 9: a lot of epic defenses.

812
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, obviously he's not Peyton Manning, but like that,

813
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 4: it kind of reminds me a little bit of that. Yeah,

814
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 4: you know, two really good edge rushers.

815
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 6: You know, cal Or actually mentioned that.

816
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I don't.

817
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 6: Know if you know.

818
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 4: Hunter and Anderson are are just unbelievable players. They're monsters.

819
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 4: Sheldon Raken is pretty good inside, but that's like he's

820
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 4: kind of really their only interior guy that I I

821
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 4: fear out of the group. But you know, those two

822
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 4: guys on the edge are as good as anybody in

823
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 4: the league.

824
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to HERM and d C.

825
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 3: What's up Herms going on with Fellows? Hey?

826
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 12: So, I mean honestand we should give the defense or

827
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 12: a huge text some respect for everyone to act like

828
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 12: it's the you know, the still Curtain or the Ravens.

829
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 12: I think that is a little blown. I would have

830
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 12: I would have disagree with the cala before and the

831
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 12: reason why I'm saying that. And I thought about this morning.

832
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 12: So when I think about a Texas defense, really, I

833
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 12: think everybody's thinking about Will Anderson and the navel hunter,

834
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 12: right who yes, if I mean, if they have a

835
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 12: bunch of stacks, it will not be ideal. But I

836
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 12: kept thinking about how in twenty twenty two, I believe

837
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 12: Errol got techning Hans Thomson and it's the championship game

838
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 12: and it will still advanced. It still advanced the Super Bowl?

839
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 7: Right yeah?

840
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 6: How many points did they score?

841
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 7: Woh?

842
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 6: Like, how did they advance this? How did how did

843
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 6: Cincinnati win that game?

844
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 12: Well, so I was so I was actually getting getting

845
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 12: ready to get to that.

846
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, I'll answer at Ryan Tannehill through

847
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 6: three interceptions.

848
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 12: Right exactly, that's the only thing we cannot do. And

849
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 12: I just don't think Frank will do it. A matter

850
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 12: of fact, I know he won't do that. He'll say

851
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 12: I'm pretty sure John mcgamons will be in this here

852
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 12: all week and telling listen, whatever you do, take the sag,

853
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 12: don't turn the ball over.

854
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 6: And I know he'll no, but that that might be

855
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 6: all well and good. You know, it's just like Sunday

856
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 6: the Chargers sacked Drake May five times and the Patriots

857
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 6: couldn't score. They couldn't score, They didn't score in the game.

858
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 6: They had one touchdown. So if that happens, you're automatically

859
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 6: in a game. If you don't, like that's Fred's point

860
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 6: about getting to twenty, I think is vital, Like you

861
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 6: got to make Houston score points to stay in the

862
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 6: game if you allow if it's another nine to three

863
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 6: game with ten minutes left, that can't way. Sorry, I

864
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 6: know the Patriots defense was outstanding and it never seemed

865
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 6: like San Diego. Sorry, the Chargers were gonna move the ball.

866
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 6: But did you know that, like for a fact when

867
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 6: you were watching, Like we were all sitting there saying,

868
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 6: justin here, one Quinton Mike must have said it five times,

869
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 6: one Quentin Johnston, big play, and all of a sudden

870
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 6: you're losing ten to nine.

871
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 7: Yep.

872
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 6: So like you can just blow off the sacks or like,

873
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 6: I don't even think that's the biggest thing about the

874
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 6: Texans defense. I think their corner, if their corners play

875
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 6: as well as they can play, that worries me. Their aggressiveness.

876
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 6: That's why I think you've got to try to beat

877
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 6: him over the top a little bit.

878
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, see, that's the thing, and herm thanks for the court.

879
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 6: You got to make some plays offensively.

880
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: He agrees that Josh will be in his here all

881
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: week about not turning the ball over. I hope it's

882
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 1: not to the point where you get into the game

883
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 1: and May he's Drake May.

884
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 5: Right.

885
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: The reason why we're here is because Drake May is

886
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: Drake May. If he's not Drake May, then you lose

887
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 1: Drake May. May.

888
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got to protect the ball. And I do

889
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 4: think in a game like this, a sack is not

890
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 4: the worst possible outcome. No, it isn't, because if he

891
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 4: gets strip sacked, that's this is a team that is

892
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 4: going to return it for a touchdown. This is not

893
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 4: going to be Jared Wilson luckily gets the bounce, goes

894
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 4: right to him and he lands on it.

895
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: But that's the kind of thing that Paul's talking about.

896
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: If it's nine to three and that happens.

897
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,760
Speaker 6: You can lose you you'll lose. Yeah, Like that Bengals

898
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 6: game I just looked it up was nineteen to sixteen

899
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 6: that you know they didn't like. You could sit there

900
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 6: and say, well, they got sacked nine times, they still

901
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 6: won the game. Yeah, because the other team turned it

902
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 6: over all those times. Like if if C. J. Stroud

903
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 6: I said this before, if he plays the way he

904
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 6: did Monday night, the Patriots are going to win this

905
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 6: game going away. I don't know what the score will be.

906
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,479
Speaker 4: He's not going to play like that.

907
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 6: But if he puts the ball on the ground like

908
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 6: that is reckless with the football, the Patriots will win

909
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 6: the game.

910
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 4: I don't know that if he's going to be overly

911
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 4: good in the game, it won't He's not going to.

912
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 6: I can't imagine he'll play that badly now.

913
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 4: But you know you mentioned the corners, like I I

914
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 4: think Anderson and Hunter. I think the world of those

915
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 4: two guys.

916
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 6: I do too.

917
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 4: I think Jalen Petrie is maybe the best player on

918
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 4: that defense.

919
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 6: I like his defense.

920
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 4: I think he is tremendous. And you know a big

921
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 4: reason why they hold up in so much nickel defense

922
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 4: is because he plays the nickel and he can stop

923
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 4: to run at five eleven, one hundred and ninety pounds,

924
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 4: you know, a lot like our guy Marcus Jones.

925
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: He seems like he's really fast and he's all over.

926
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 4: There, aggressive, fast, takes on blocks, blows up. You know,

927
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 4: everybody's against this Texans team is like, well with that

928
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 4: pass rush like screens, quick game, run game, like good luck,

929
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 4: Like that's exactly what they think you're gonna do. That's

930
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 4: what they want you to do. These are aggressive defensive backs.

931
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 4: They'd all tackle, they're all physical, and Petrie is a dude.

932
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 4: So if you throw the ball anywhere near him on

933
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 4: a short pass, that guy's getting lit up. Like that

934
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 4: is not going anywhere. So like I just you know,

935
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 4: I really feel like their secondary does not get nearly

936
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 4: is enough credit for what they're doing defensively, because like

937
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 4: the first reads never open, and if you're a pass rusher,

938
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 4: if the quarterback has to hold the ball like that's

939
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 4: where they're getting their pass rush from. It's not because

940
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 4: they're bringing blitzes or disguising pressure. It's none of that.

941
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 4: It's all four man rush. We're gonna put seven in coverage,

942
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,919
Speaker 4: we're gonna take away your first read, and we're gonna

943
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 4: make the quarterback hold the ball, and that's stingly. That's

944
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 4: last there, that's Peetree, Like, that's not Anderson and.

945
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: Hunter Daniels in California. What's up, Daniel?

946
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 13: How are you doing?

947
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 5: Joe?

948
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: You my brother?

949
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 3: Hey?

950
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 10: So John started off thanks to my wife. She actually

951
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 10: uh got me a T shirt yesterday.

952
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 2: That's a reference to the movies Step Brothers.

953
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 10: But it's Drake May and Tom Brady's.

954
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 2: Face on it.

955
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 10: So a huge shout out to her.

956
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 13: That that made my day.

957
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 2: Now diving into football talk, I feel like there's a

958
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 2: clear advantage with the coordinators offense coordinators, just with Josh McDaniel,

959
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 2: you know, being here before, especially against like top you know,

960
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 2: tier defenses as well. How much do you weigh on

961
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 2: like Nick Cayley's ability to guide c J. Stroud through

962
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 2: this game and then as a follow up course, that's big.

963
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 10: Yeah, how big of a factor do you think it

964
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 10: is that the Textans have several staff members who have

965
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 10: at least coached under Josh McDaniels in some sort of way.

966
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 2: Most notably Ben McDaniels his brother. So I just wanted

967
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 2: to get that.

968
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 10: Tick it off there.

969
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I put very little crew to the familiarities on

970
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 4: the staff, like maybe even almost zero percent. I just

971
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 4: I think it's like one of the more overrated things

972
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 4: that we talk about just because it's interesting. Yeah, yeah, thanks,

973
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 4: thank you, Yeah, thanks Mike. But Nick Kayley I think

974
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 4: has done a decent job, you know, watching them on tape.

975
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 4: They they're not poorly coordinated like the Chargers were, Like

976
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,879
Speaker 4: they're blocking the right people, you know, their route combinations

977
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 4: make sense, the offense fits together. It's much more Sean

978
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 4: McVay influence, I would say than Josh McDaniels. But all

979
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 4: the pieces, all the parts make sense. Like I'm not

980
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 4: watching it in like this is a train wreck. Click.

981
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 4: I was with the Chargers, So the one thing I

982
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 4: think you can get him on though their offensive line

983
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 4: is not very good and they have had issues with pressure,

984
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 4: you know, blitz is you know who we block in,

985
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 4: how we picking this up, what our answers to these

986
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 4: different looks. So they that's like kind of like the

987
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 4: three dep chest thing that an experienced coordinator is really

988
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 4: good at that maybe a first year play caller like

989
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 4: Nick Kaylee just hasn't quite evolved, you know, to that

990
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 4: level yet, whereas Josh McDaniels goes into a game with

991
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 4: the pressure plan of you know, if they bring zero,

992
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 4: like this is what we're gonna do. And I don't

993
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 4: know if Kaylee's is quite on that level of X's

994
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 4: and O's.

995
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 3: Trent brown huh, Randy's in Virginia.

996
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 4: To Trent Browns. I think there's two of them in there.

997
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 3: Hey, Randy the big one.

998
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 5: Hey guys, how's it going all right?

999
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 10: Quick question?

1000
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys talked about this, but

1001
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 5: just like the I test with Ramandre al season, he's

1002
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 5: seeming like the I don't know, just a more reliable back.

1003
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 5: All of his runs he seems to just I don't know,

1004
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 5: fall forward for like three to five yards every time

1005
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 5: he runs where Travion I feel like they try to

1006
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 5: get him going, but it's just like nine or ten

1007
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 5: of these one or two yard runs and then once

1008
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 5: in a while maybe he'll break one off right and.

1009
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 14: The entire I don't know even.

1010
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 15: Obviously there's a play action stuff off of that, but

1011
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 15: I don't know what you guys think of, you know,

1012
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 15: going forward, is this offense just gonna go as Remandre

1013
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 15: goes or how does that? How do you envision the

1014
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 15: workload being split.

1015
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: I think you have to keep working with Trevion in

1016
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: there because, like you said, you never know when he's

1017
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: going to break one. But I do notice that, you know,

1018
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: like there seems to be more space between the guards

1019
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: and tackles for Stevenson and Henderson just always seems to

1020
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: be running into a brick wall.

1021
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 4: I think that that's exactly partially because of vision between

1022
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 4: the tackles and setting up could say, setting up your

1023
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 4: blocks and things like that. It's one area of Trevion

1024
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 4: Henderson's game that is still developing, is you know, seeing

1025
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 4: cut back lanes and understanding leverages and things like that

1026
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 4: to set up blox and Stevenson's just you know, more

1027
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 4: experienced and been in the league.

1028
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: While even like at the snap and at the give,

1029
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 1: you know, at the the mesh, the mesh point there

1030
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: you go, it just seems like when I'm looking at

1031
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: it from our vantage point and I'm sitting next to you, Evan,

1032
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: it just seems like things are more spaced out. When

1033
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: Stevenson gets the ball, I don't know.

1034
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 6: I would just I mean, I would say down the

1035
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 6: stretch that has absolutely been true. Like Stevenson has had

1036
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 6: the more productive runs, say over the last five or

1037
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 6: so games. There was a time that we were having

1038
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 6: the opposite conversation this year that, like, Stevenson's not getting anything,

1039
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 6: why doesn't Henderson get more carries? Henderson seems like he

1040
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 6: gets this, that and the other thing. And that was

1041
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 6: before the big plays started. Now the big players are

1042
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 6: going to obviously skew the number, like he's averaging over

1043
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 6: five yards of carry because he has you know, four

1044
00:45:55,920 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 6: or fifty plus yard touchdown runs. But wait, it's been

1045
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 6: Stevenson exactly the way the caller said. It's been like

1046
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 6: five yards of pop for Stevenson.

1047
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 4: But I think that they're using them exactly how I

1048
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 4: was perfect. We wanted them to use him and envision

1049
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 4: did I mean, Stevenson is your real bell cow and

1050
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 4: Henderson is a home run hitter that you know, you

1051
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 4: sprinkle in like. I just don't think Travon Henderson is

1052
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 4: a volume back. No, I think that he is a

1053
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 4: true home run hitting type of back.

1054
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: I think he was.

1055
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 3: Than him too. I mean it's just size back.

1056
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 4: Sure.

1057
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: Tanaka writes in Like most Patriots fans, I thoroughly enjoyed

1058
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: the win last week, Even more so for those who

1059
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: want to hate on the Patriots and Drake Drake May May.

1060
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: The win on Sunday prevented the discussion that he can't

1061
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: or has never won a playoff game. However, next up

1062
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: will be he has never won an away playoff game.

1063
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: These are silly and simplistic views. This year's body of

1064
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: work showed he can win on the road. The added

1065
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: pressure for a playoff game might test him, but in

1066
00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: my humble opinion, he has already demonstrated road gamers all

1067
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: of this year with a perfect record. Maybe a win

1068
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: this year and Denver might shut up those detractors for good.

1069
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: Probably not.

1070
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 4: I hope he never has to play himself.

1071
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: I just want to know what.

1072
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 6: The voices are in these people's heads.

1073
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,439
Speaker 4: I hope he never has to play a road playoff game.

1074
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 4: I just get the number one seed every year. You

1075
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 4: can be at home for every single game. And like

1076
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 4: Brady didn't play a road playoff game until Oh no,

1077
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 4: that's not true.

1078
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 6: They played five.

1079
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 4: Yeah. I played the AFC Championship in Pittsburgh one four, yeah,

1080
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 4: but I hard win the one. The one in Denver

1081
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 4: is like, for some reason, stands out as like his

1082
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 4: first like true test on the road. I don't know why. Yeah, probably.

1083
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:39,280
Speaker 6: Chad.

1084
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: Oh, let's see Chad says. I don't know about anyone else,

1085
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: but I'm not worried about this game. Maybe it's because

1086
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,439
Speaker 1: at the start of the season I didn't expect them

1087
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: to be where they are and I'm already super happy

1088
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: with what this team has accomplished. Or maybe it's the

1089
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: fact that I honestly trust and believe in what Vrabel's

1090
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: doing with the team. Do the Texans have a scary defense, Yes,

1091
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: but it looks like the Patriots do too. That being said,

1092
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: I like Drake and company better than a Houston team

1093
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: that looks like it will be without their best wide receiver.

1094
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 6: That's fair, Yeah, all, that's fair.

1095
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 3: That's for all the talk of the defenses. At the

1096
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 3: end of the day, the quarterback.

1097
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 9: If the quarterbacks play to their potential, I think the

1098
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 9: Patriots at the edge.

1099
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 6: I think they they agree.

1100
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 4: The thing that I'm most optimistic about is as good

1101
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 4: as the Texans defense is, they do what they do.

1102
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 4: They They are one of the least like creative exotic

1103
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 4: defenses in the NFL. They play all nickel, they play

1104
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 4: all four man rush, They sit in the same couple

1105
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 4: of coverages. I just really like Josh McDaniels in a

1106
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 4: matchup like that when he knows what you're going to

1107
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 4: be in.

1108
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:43,439
Speaker 14: Yeah.

1109
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 9: Hey, that's what I want to ask you about because

1110
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 9: it's I mean, a lot of teams do so much

1111
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 9: disguise and it seems there's so much on the quarterback

1112
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 9: to figure out who's coming, who's going, you know, and

1113
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 9: there isn't that much.

1114
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 3: Of that this week.

1115
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 9: So is it really just about execution? I mean, is

1116
00:48:58,239 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 9: that what kind of That's what they try to make it.

1117
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 3: This is what they're going to do.

1118
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 4: This is what we're going to do.

1119
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 9: If you put the ball were it's supposed to be,

1120
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 9: you're going to complete the pass. And if you don't,

1121
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:06,240
Speaker 9: you know, that's.

1122
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 4: What they try to make. That's they trust that their

1123
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 4: talent on defense, which is awesome, is going to be

1124
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 4: better than the offenses they're going up against. And that's

1125
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 4: just what they do. Like it's in a world of

1126
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 4: defense where everything is like super exotic now, where like

1127
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 4: guys are dropping and blitzing and there's got you know,

1128
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 4: there's all chaos going on right right, Like Brian Flores types,

1129
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 4: Steve Spagnolo, like guys that are just constantly cooking it

1130
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 4: up at scientists. This is the total opposite. This is

1131
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 4: a vanilla defense.

1132
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 1: So what about offense? Richard emailing in from Louisiana. I

1133
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: think we have a major advantage. No one is talking

1134
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: about I love those. No one's talking about emails.

1135
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 4: Only him.

1136
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong. But Houston is running the

1137
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: same offense from last year. If so, the defense should

1138
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 1: be up to speed because we have a receiver that

1139
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: was there last year in Diggs.

1140
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 4: No, I don't think Nick Kelly was there last year.

1141
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 6: It wasn't.

1142
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: So they're not running the same offing.

1143
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,760
Speaker 4: No, Now, it's not a guy. It's not a complete

1144
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 4: pivot away from what they were doing, you know. I

1145
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 4: would still say that it's like West Coast flavor, like

1146
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 4: Sean McVay flavor, which is basically what they were running

1147
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 4: with Bobby Slowick also, but uh, two different coordinators, it's

1148
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 4: not that different. But I don't think that Diggs is

1149
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 4: like all this institutional knowledge stuff where it's not over I.

1150
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 6: Would just say in general terms, like the coaches watch,

1151
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 6: you know, and they prepare and they scout and they

1152
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 6: know what the other team's going to do. It's a

1153
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 6: matter of stopping it. It's a matter of coming up

1154
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 6: with a plan that works. Now, obviously they knocked it

1155
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 6: out of the park with the Chargers. They did things

1156
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 6: that the Chargers themselves said they didn't understand what they

1157
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 6: were doing. They didn't even know what they were looking at.

1158
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,800
Speaker 6: You do that again, It doesn't matter if Stefan Diggs

1159
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 6: knows what it like. They have to scout it and

1160
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 6: they have to figure out what they and be we

1161
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 6: can do that will work and be able to execute

1162
00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 6: a game that's this game so much.

1163
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: That's so much more valuable to me too.

1164
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 9: I just I think people overestimate how much football players

1165
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 9: actually know about the overall scheme, like quarterback and maybe safety,

1166
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 9: middle linebacker, Like, yes, there are some guys who know.

1167
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 9: Guys come in and they're just like, well McDonald's this way,

1168
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 9: when they this is the play, I run this way.

1169
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 6: They're not tell the.

1170
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,879
Speaker 1: Quote that will always to tell he told me he goes,

1171
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: don't ever ask a football player about football and football

1172
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: because they only know what they're supposed to do. Yeah,

1173
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 1: right now, Obviously, like you said, the quarterback.

1174
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 6: There are special players too.

1175
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 16: Yeah, you read like, yeah, understand everything, and that's what.

1176
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,399
Speaker 1: He said, and he's been around a while.

1177
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 9: It's like you know when you ask guys like what's

1178
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 9: your favorite run or what's your favorite block?

1179
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 3: You know, like those like they know their specifically.

1180
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,839
Speaker 4: I just want to hit somebody. They're not like looking

1181
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 4: at the game plan and.

1182
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 9: You know, Steph Diggs is gonna be like, you know

1183
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 9: what they're going to try to attack is you know

1184
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 9: this is what they're going So.

1185
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 6: Even if there's a lot of the similar concepts too,

1186
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 6: like the the personnel is has changed a lot. I mean,

1187
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,280
Speaker 6: one of the most important guys in the Texans offense

1188
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 6: last year was tanked out. He hasn't played since.

1189
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, so hope he gets to play again.

1190
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 6: No, I do too, But I'm just saying, like how

1191
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 6: much it can change. You had Digs, you had Dell,

1192
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 6: and you had Collins. Now you might not have any

1193
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 6: of those three guys in this game on State. Yeah,

1194
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 6: Sunday night, you got two rookies and Nol and Higgins

1195
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 6: and you got Kirk, you know who I've always loved.

1196
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 6: But that's not the guy, like, that's not his career.

1197
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 6: The game he had Monday night that was shocked. If

1198
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 6: he has a game like that.

1199
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 4: It was his first one hundred yard games since twenty

1200
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 4: twenty three.

1201
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,240
Speaker 3: When he earned all that money to Yeah, Jacksonville.

1202
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 4: Which is crazy.

1203
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 6: I really really liked him coming out of you probably

1204
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 6: hated him because we tend to den that's one that

1205
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 6: we're in alignment on hasard him coming out of Texas

1206
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 6: A and M. He has been Okay, he's not a bust, yeah,

1207
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 6: but he's not been what I thought he was going.

1208
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 9: That's one of the things that it does scare me

1209
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 9: about this offense though in Stroud, is that when he

1210
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,919
Speaker 9: has time, he can push the ball down the field.

1211
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 9: And I mean I think Higgins has had, you know,

1212
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 9: some of those big plays this year. Collins maybe not

1213
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 9: there to do it, but just like it scared me

1214
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 9: with Quentin Johnston, where it's a loose coring defensive battle

1215
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 9: and one play can change it, you can't give up

1216
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 9: a big.

1217
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 6: I'd be more worried about, Like, I don't know player

1218
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 6: who can make plays even if you're there.

1219
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 4: They've been awesome and Stroud's been awesome against man coverage,

1220
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 4: and I don't know how much of that is Nico

1221
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 4: Collins just like being too good to be to play

1222
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:18,919
Speaker 4: him and man to man.

1223
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 6: But we'll say Joey Porter did a good job in him.

1224
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 6: The other I thought, but yeah, C J.

1225
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 4: Stroud uh fifth in the league and e p a

1226
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 4: against man like Fortain, and I would not have thought

1227
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 4: that without going into it this week.

1228
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 6: I don't want to get into this a lot of

1229
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 6: hate from He's.

1230
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 4: Not as good against zone. He's fifteenth against zone. So

1231
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 4: play zone, all right.

1232
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 1: So we here in New England know that the next

1279
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 6: so you turn it over. You end up in Miami,

1280
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,760
Speaker 6: and Matt and I love to talk about the Miami

1281
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 6: game in relation to the Patriots. It's almost like the

1282
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 6: start of the Patriots resurgence too. Opening Day in nineteen

1283
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 6: ninety four down in Miami is one of the most

1284
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 6: memorable games that no one ever talks about because, first

1285
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 6: of all, the Patriots lost and why they don't talk

1286
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 6: about it, and they've had a lot of success since,

1287
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,800
Speaker 6: so you're no longer worrying about, you know, random regular

1288
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 6: season games, but a thirty nine to thirty five shootout

1289
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 6: where you at about I don't know, eight hundred and

1290
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 6: seventeen yards from Dan moreto Levin. Right now that you

1291
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 6: work out, the field is in pristine condition.

1292
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 7: It was.

1293
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 6: So throw us for four hundred Danny, throw us sort

1294
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 6: of a four hundred more and you're you're catching touchdowns everywhere.

1295
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 6: I mean, do you remember that? I mean, like just

1296
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 6: how hot it was?

1297
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: And it was.

1298
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:42,919
Speaker 3: It was a great game.

1299
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:47,240
Speaker 20: It was Dan's comeback game because my first year in Miami,

1300
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 20: a couple of games into the season, Dan ruptured his achille, yes,

1301
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 20: and so he was down.

1302
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,760
Speaker 1: So I go down to Miami to play with Dan Marino.

1303
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 20: When he gets hurt, I'm like, what the So this

1304
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 20: was Dan's comeback game, and there was a lot of

1305
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:03,759
Speaker 20: questions about whether or not he was going to be

1306
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 20: able to come back because you know, in training camp

1307
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 20: he wasn't wasn't doing too well, wasn't throwing the ball well,

1308
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 20: limping around, you know, hitching his gidea up and all

1309
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,439
Speaker 20: of that. So we come into that game and man,

1310
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 20: one of the things that we never did while I

1311
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 20: was here in New England. When I got to Miami,

1312
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 20: this was like, to me, it wasn't fair. When I

1313
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 20: got to Miami, go down there and we'll be in

1314
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 20: the game and Dan will call a play in the huddle,

1315
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 20: we'll break the huddle line up and maybe the ball

1316
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 20: is supposed to be thrown to the opposite side. Dan

1317
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 20: will see the coverage and he'll see or notice that

1318
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 20: someone's one on one. Say it's me, I'm one on one.

1319
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 20: He'll see identify that. He'll give me a hand signal.

1320
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 20: Now it's just me and him one on one like practice.

1321
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 20: To me, that wasn't fair. I'm like, we never did

1322
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 20: that here in New England. In New England my nine

1323
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 20: years here, if we called a play.

1324
00:57:58,240 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: In the huddle and.

1325
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 20: We went to the line of score image and they

1326
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 20: were in the proper defense or defense, that wasn't favorable

1327
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 20: for us to have success on that particular play. We

1328
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 20: just chalked that one up as a loss. There were

1329
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 20: no audibles, there were no changing the plays, like I mean,

1330
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 20: it happens all the time now, but there were no

1331
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 20: changing of plays at the line of screaming.

1332
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 3: It did not happen.

1333
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 20: And when I got to Miami and we started doing that,

1334
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 20: and I'm like, what, No, one of these guys were

1335
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 20: so tough to beat all the time, You're doing this right,

1336
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 20: And so yeah, during that game Dan's comeback nineteen ninety four,

1337
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 20: the first game against the Patriots, I caught five balls,

1338
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 20: two hundred eleven yards and three touchdowns. It was almost

1339
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 20: all in the fourth quarter.

1340
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 7: Yep.

1341
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 20: At halftime, I hadn't caught a pass. It was latter

1342
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 20: third quarter and fourth quarter. I got all that done.

1343
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 20: The last catch was a fourth down catch. I think

1344
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 20: there was just under two minutes left in the game.

1345
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 20: We didn't have any timeouse left. I believe we were

1346
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 20: on the opposing teams on the Patriots forty.

1347
00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 6: Five yard line.

1348
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 20: It was fourth and five, and we if we didn't

1349
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,479
Speaker 20: get the first down, the game was over.

1350
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: It was.

1351
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 20: It was that kind of shootout. So we called the

1352
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 20: trips left and I was on the right hand side.

1353
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 20: The ball was supposed to go to one of the

1354
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 20: three on the left. Dan gets him to the line

1355
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 20: of scrimmage and he sees that on one on one

1356
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 20: and he gives me a go. He just reaches down

1357
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 20: by the side and gives me that five finger go

1358
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 20: fourth and five boom he throws it.

1359
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 3: I catch it touchdown.

1360
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 20: That kind that was the magic of that back then,

1361
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 20: because he changed the play right line of scrimmage just

1362
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 20: with me, he and I and that was just the magic.

1363
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 20: And Dan and I really developed a camaraderie, a a

1364
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 20: a receiver quarterback relationship that I never had with any

1365
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:48,880
Speaker 20: quarterback prior to that or even after that.

1366
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 1: Did that?

1367
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 16: Was there a sense of satisfaction with that, irving that

1368
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 16: you know what you can do? You know you talked

1369
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 16: about you know, the Patriots are primarily running team, even

1370
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 16: in the eighty five team. You know, it was you know,

1371
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 16: it's most he was Craig James, Robert Weathers, all these

1372
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 16: guys that could run. It wasn't an aerial attack. You're

1373
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 16: two really good outside receivers. When that happens in Miami

1374
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 16: and you get to see a healthy Dan Marino was there,

1375
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 16: like damn, I knew I could do this, Like this

1376
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 16: was I knew I had this kind of game in me.

1377
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 16: I just needed an offense maybe coaching staff whatever that

1378
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 16: could see what my abilities were. Because you had Pro

1379
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 16: Bowl years at that point in time, right, you know,

1380
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 16: and you weren't just Johnny cum leaders. You know you

1381
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 16: did in the league for a while, right, But I didn't.

1382
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 16: I didn't pay attention to stats. It didn't matter.

1383
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 20: To me because I was I was never even in

1384
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 20: the resk. I was never necessarily the number one guy, right.

1385
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 20: I played with Mike Rozier. Mike Rozier was the cat

1386
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 20: ball thirty five times a game, forty times a game. Uh,

1387
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 20: and turn of Gill was quarterback. So I was just

1388
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 20: always a compliment. So I never looked for the for

1389
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 20: the big accolades, or I never looked or played in

1390
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 20: a situation where I was the guy. So when I

1391
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 20: got to Miami, I really never thought that to myself.

1392
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 20: Oh well, look, when I finally got to a place

1393
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:07,959
Speaker 20: I was still learning. I was just excited about being

1394
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 20: able to do it because I never did this before.

1395
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 20: I never did this at the wide receiver position, and

1396
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 20: this is, I guess how it's supposed to be done.

1397
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 20: Mark Clayton had gotten released the same year I was

1398
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:24,080
Speaker 20: going that I went to Miami. Mark Duper was still

1399
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 20: there and we made it through a training camp together

1400
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 20: and then he got released after training camp my first

1401
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 20: training camp there. But I learned so much from him

1402
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 20: just watching him and talking to him how to be

1403
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 20: an NFL wide receiver. Here I'm nine years in the

1404
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 20: league and I'm learning this new stuff that I've never

1405
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 20: so I was so excited about learning this new stuff

1406
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 20: and wasn't really paying attention to numbers. I really didn't

1407
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 20: pay attention to numbers. When I got selected to the

1408
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 20: Pro Bowl that year, that was great, But I really

1409
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 20: never really paid attention to numbers. It wasn't until the

1410
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 20: latter part of my career when I started getting closed

1411
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 20: to a thousand and catches, you know, my last couple

1412
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 20: of years Washington, when I started looking at numbers. But

1413
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 20: even when I was with Philadelphia, I never, Okay, I

1414
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 20: gotta catch this amount, I gotta catch this amount of touchdowns.

1415
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 20: I gotta score so many touchdowns and so many yards

1416
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 20: and so many catches.

1417
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 3: I never I never did do that going into a see.

1418
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 6: So even though you don't follow the stats as much,

1419
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 6: you have to look at the game now and say, man,

1420
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 6: kind of numbers I could put up with this game?

1421
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 20: Oh well, yeah, now numbers and money.

1422
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 6: And now great moments in.

1423
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 1: Histories. No sense in traveling right now?

1424
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 6: And he does you know, he doesn't just travel. He

1425
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 6: usually does some pretty immersive, extensive trips.

1426
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 3: Yeah himself in the culture people.

1427
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: You got to give that you know, case of cat

1428
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 1: food to the local shelter.

1429
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 21: Why do you mock charity? What why do you? You're

1430
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 21: a bad peron mocking? Yes you are, you're mocking. That's

1431
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 21: what grint on your face. You've got that cheshire cat

1432
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 21: grin on your face. Going around the world doing good things.

1433
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 1: What a bad man.

1434
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 4: Look at the bad man doing good things.

1435
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 6: Trying to help the cats.

1436
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 3: Is this a shelter for cats?

1437
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1438
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 6: My cat's been a little out of suits really the

1439
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 6: last week or so. We couldn't find him for a

1440
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 6: long time. Last Saturday, We're like, stop at you see that?

1441
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 1: Fred?

1442
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 6: No cats out there.

1443
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 3: Now, I'll sit down with him and ask them what's up.

1444
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 22: That's another great moment from all Right.

1445
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Patriot's Unfiltered A five five Pats five

1446
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: hundred is the hotline podcast at patriots dot com. Is

1447
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: the email address. We'll have Mike Rabel at about one

1448
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 1: ten or so. It should be a good, uh press conference, Like, what's.

1449
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 6: The theme today, Mike, let's predict the theme?

1450
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: Playing a good defense?

1451
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 3: Yeah right, don't let absolutely get killed.

1452
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 6: That's gonna there's gonna be a lot of those, a

1453
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 6: lot of questions about the Texans defense.

1454
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Mike.

1455
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 3: Will lay it on mind, you know, it's something else too.

1456
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 9: It's just I know everybody probably I just realized, I'm like,

1457
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 9: oh my Frabel Head coached in Texas, the Texans too,

1458
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 9: you know, the connection for a year, number of connections

1459
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:11,959
Speaker 9: with this team.

1460
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 3: I do need Ben mcdaills.

1461
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 9: It's just interesting, like imagine your brother is coaching against you,

1462
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 9: you know, especially in an offensive coordinator kind of a role,

1463
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 9: like you know, hey Carboys, I mean hey coaches.

1464
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:23,360
Speaker 7: I get it.

1465
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 9: It's like, but I don't know, there's so much like

1466
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 9: nuance in detail to an offensive coordinator that like Josh

1467
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 9: literally knows everything they're going to try to do, and

1468
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 9: I'm sure Ben knows.

1469
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: Are you know after the game, do they give them noogies?

1470
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 7: Right?

1471
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: Franklin from Baltimore, Right, Since Patriots fans have been rightfully,

1472
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: I would say concern about this matchup with the Texans.

1473
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 1: I share the same thoughts that Houston poses, in my opinion,

1474
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: a bad matchup versus the Patriots, since they cannot only

1475
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 1: stress pass protection, but they also have the secondary to

1476
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: maintain that intensity. That's something that for as good as

1477
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: the Charges defense was, it didn't pose that same problem.

1478
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: If I can, and still hoping, Patriots Nation However, look

1479
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: at it from our side for a second. Houston poses

1480
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 1: virtually no threat running the ball, has a bad line,

1481
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 1: Stroud is shaky and can be prone to turning it over.

1482
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 1: And if Collins doesn't play, Houston doesn't really have any

1483
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 1: pass catchers that scare you. Point being if the Patriots

1484
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 1: don't turn the ball over, the Texans aren't a team

1485
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: capable of building up a huge lead. And with Houston

1486
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 1: being so one dimensional, I think that does play into

1487
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots defensive strength of being pretty good on third downs.

1488
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,959
Speaker 1: In terms of score, I honestly expect a similar type

1489
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 1: of game like they had versus the Chargers, with the

1490
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 1: Patriots winning. Of course, well, Stroud turned it over last week,

1491
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: but he hasn't really turned it over a lot, and.

1492
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 6: I would agree that Houston, I don't think, is the

1493
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 6: type of team that you would expect to run away

1494
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 6: and hide. I don't think that they would be building

1495
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 6: a big lead in this game. I mean, they ran

1496
01:05:55,680 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 6: the ball really well Monday night. Both guys went over

1497
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 6: one hundred yards and in Chubb was averaging well over

1498
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 6: five yards to carry in that secondary role. I mean,

1499
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 6: I don't know, they ran the ball four hundred and

1500
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 6: seventy five times and they you know, they threw it,

1501
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 6: you know, I mean Stroud through it four hundred and

1502
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 6: twenty three, so five hundred and eighty two attempts as

1503
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 6: a team. I mean, I don't know, that's not that

1504
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 6: doesn't sound like it's out of whack, like in terms

1505
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 6: of balance. Now, they're not a great running team. Patriots

1506
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 6: have you know, had more rushing touchdowns and whatnot. But

1507
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 6: I don't know, they look pretty good Monday night doing it.

1508
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1509
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 6: Now the Steelers I don't think are as good against

1510
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 6: the run as the Patriots are or have been during

1511
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 6: the course of the season. But I don't know. I agree.

1512
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 4: I just think it's going to take it.

1513
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 9: You're win all the little details, you know, and that's

1514
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 9: where I think the Patriots can separate themselves.

1515
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 1: Just did the brable.

1516
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 6: They also don't think the offensive line is that bad.

1517
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that.

1518
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 9: They've We've got to get we got to get one

1519
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 9: of these on Trump Brown though, we got to.

1520
01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 6: Oh you'll get he does it every time you're called once,

1521
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 6: but he does it every time. Monday Night he did it.

1522
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 6: I don't think it's a great offensive line, but it's

1523
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 6: been better. I mean, they've been sacked about half the

1524
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 6: amount of times the Patriots have.

1525
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 3: Jake Andrews, I mean, you know, Patriot, he was.

1526
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 6: He was part of a problem the other night with

1527
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 6: those snaps. I mean they weren't. I mean, they weren't

1528
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 6: all on him, some of them. You know, one of

1529
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 6: them you snapped. One wasn't even ready and no one

1530
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 6: else was ready either. Yeah, but I think that offensive

1531
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 6: line has gotten a little bit better. I think Gercer

1532
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 6: he has been okay at left tackle. Yeah. I thought

1533
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,439
Speaker 6: Trent Brown. I'm very critical of Trent Brown. You guys

1534
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:34,920
Speaker 6: know this. I thought he did a pretty good job

1535
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 6: on Want the other night.

1536
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 1: Big dude Steven writes in from Fort drum Uh, thank

1537
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: you for your service. I'm hoping for a big game

1538
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: from Stefan Diggs for this game. Houston didn't believe in

1539
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 1: him and dumped him at the first sign of his injury,

1540
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 1: only to get picked up by us and having a

1541
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: thousand yard season. If it were me and his shoes,

1542
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 1: I'd be taking this game very personally and as a

1543
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: true revenge game. Also, is it wrong to feel more

1544
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: confident about this game than the Chargers game? You know,

1545
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 1: I get that.

1546
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 9: I would just because I'd go back to what I

1547
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:07,440
Speaker 9: said about the quarterbacks, and yeah, I was.

1548
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: Worried about Herbert last week. I'm worried about the defense.

1549
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 9: Ultimately, Herbert fizzled and Patriots had a really good defensive plan.

1550
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 6: This is a better offense than you saw last week too.

1551
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:19,799
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's also probably true, especially if they had Collins

1552
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 9: back in the mix.

1553
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,680
Speaker 6: No, Herbert is better than Stroud, well this year he was,

1554
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 6: But this is the Texans offense is better.

1555
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 9: Than Oh I'd rather have their receiving weapons then, yeah,

1556
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,720
Speaker 9: sorry for it, not lat McConkey. But but going back

1557
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 9: to what I was saying, I just I think this

1558
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:36,600
Speaker 9: is it's going to be a little bit of a

1559
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 9: rock fight.

1560
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 3: And maybe the Patriots can.

1561
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 9: You know, it was Washing Buffalo, I mean Ray Davis

1562
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 9: took a kickoff back, you know, for a touchdown against

1563
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:44,879
Speaker 9: them trying to find a way to I mean, famously

1564
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 9: twenty seventeen playoffs, Dean Lewis returning the kickoff for a touchdown.

1565
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 3: Those those kind of points.

1566
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 9: If the Patriots can steal some of those, or even

1567
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 9: steal some field position with just good returns, even if

1568
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 9: they don't go all the way, I think they'll go

1569
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,640
Speaker 9: a long way just to help Drake May and not

1570
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 9: put it all on You've got to earn every single yard.

1571
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 3: It's gonna be difficult tasks.

1572
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 6: And wasn't Diggs like a free agent? Wasn't he a

1573
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 6: one year deal in Houston? No, I think they made

1574
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 6: I thought he was in the last year of his

1575
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 6: deal when they traded him.

1576
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 1: Maybe, whatever it is, they decided not to.

1577
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 6: They didn't re sign him yet, but they didn't dump them.

1578
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 6: I don't, I don't. I mean, that might be wrong.

1579
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 6: I thought I thought that was only one year.

1580
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 1: But Angelo says Aloha from Hawaii. I'm a longtime listener

1581
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 1: and first time emailer, and I'm a huge fan of

1582
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 1: the show. I had a quick question regarding Sunday's game.

1583
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 1: Do you think the weather could play a significant role,

1584
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 1: particularly with Houston not being accustomed to very cold conditions.

1585
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm curious to hear your thoughts. No, they're a defensive team.

1586
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 1: Defense travels doesn't matter what the well.

1587
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 6: I think I think it could be a factor. I

1588
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 6: don't think it's going to be based on the early forecasts.

1589
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 6: It doesn't sound like it's spit thirty. Yeah, and it

1590
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 6: doesn't sound like any like heavy wind or you know,

1591
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 6: precipitation or anything like that. But yeah, I think this

1592
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 6: is a dome team, and I think that defense is

1593
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 6: much better indoors then out all of that. I agree

1594
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 6: with Fred's premise that defense travels, but those guys are

1595
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:09,640
Speaker 6: better in the dome getting off on the carpet and

1596
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 6: all that stuff. Good conditions. But I don't think it's

1597
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:13,639
Speaker 6: going to be that bad.

1598
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 1: So it was really slippery, and the offenses have an

1599
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 1: advantage because they know where they're going.

1600
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:20,840
Speaker 6: It doesn't sound like it's going to be that bad

1601
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:24,640
Speaker 6: now weather wise, but it's not going to be you

1602
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 6: never know.

1603
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 1: Just wait a minute, Yeah, let's see Chris in New Hampshire.

1604
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 1: Goodness gracious, yesterday's callers were a race to the bottom,

1605
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 1: Todd reminding us that the game was going to be

1606
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,800
Speaker 1: a slobber knocker, then saying again when he wasn't given

1607
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:42,759
Speaker 1: the reaction. Craved was only outdone by Mark, a shrieking

1608
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 1: ninny who wants media activism to get more flags in

1609
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 1: the game, flags for hand gestures. He doesn't like Brian

1610
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 1: from Lowell I miss you please call in. He's an

1611
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 1: eloquent sage compared to the barbarians that typically call in.

1612
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to rabel.

1613
01:10:57,160 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 10: Craft today and do the Texas have the best defense.

1614
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 17: It's just the best defense you've faced.

1615
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 23: So yeah, of course, you know, I mean they, uh,

1616
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 23: I have great talent, great scheme, They play hard and

1617
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:16,240
Speaker 23: respect to how hard they play, and they're just not

1618
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 23: only talented, but they uh.

1619
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:21,680
Speaker 7: Have a play demeanor that I can appreciate because I

1620
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 7: sort of a do what.

1621
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:23,639
Speaker 1: You do defense.

1622
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 13: Some people have talked about the scheme.

1623
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 23: Is good, but it's just this Yeah, and again there's

1624
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,720
Speaker 23: not a whole I mean, they don't I guess necessarily,

1625
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:36,600
Speaker 23: maybe the volume isn't as much. I think the volume increases,

1626
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 23: uh on third down, we'll you know, maybe get some

1627
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 23: multiple looks and pressures and different things. But you know,

1628
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 23: I think we pretty much would have an idea of

1629
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:52,600
Speaker 23: where they're gonna be on first and second down. They'll

1630
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:55,559
Speaker 23: mix in pressures and then they you know, they match

1631
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 23: up and then we'll we'll get into the zone. And

1632
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:02,880
Speaker 23: but I think the volume probably comes more in on

1633
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 23: third down.

1634
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 21: Sorry, you should you appreciate their demeanor, Mike, What is

1635
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:10,679
Speaker 21: their play demeanor specifically defensive?

1636
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:14,680
Speaker 23: Well, they play you know, play to the football. You know,

1637
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 23: they chase football and you know they get a lot

1638
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:21,759
Speaker 23: of hats at the football. They create turnovers, they play physical.

1639
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 7: Do you expect that Christian Goozoaliz to practice.

1640
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:28,759
Speaker 23: Pay I do anticipate in being out there.

1641
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 6: The fact that the fact that the Texans have so

1642
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 6: many coaches who are familiar with Josh mcdanielis does that.

1643
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 7: Make it extra turkey?

1644
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 6: Maybe though they can provide even more health into their

1645
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 6: their defense that kind of thing.

1646
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:46,680
Speaker 23: I mean, again, if they know what calls coming, then

1647
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 23: but you should try to get those coaches. I think

1648
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 23: that you know, there's certain styles of offense. Got all

1649
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 23: our tape and got all theirs. So if they know

1650
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 23: what Josh is on or they know what we're we're calling,

1651
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 23: then they're they they gotta jump on us.

1652
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:09,680
Speaker 1: What's the preparation like for you start to finish for

1653
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:10,559
Speaker 1: no a week like.

1654
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 7: This same as it was last week.

1655
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 23: I mean, we'll start off first a second down and

1656
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 23: you know, try to come up with keys and we

1657
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 23: feel like can can help our our team and make

1658
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:26,800
Speaker 23: sure that we formulate practice getting things done that we

1659
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 23: need to get done based on you know, the time

1660
01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:29,960
Speaker 23: of the season.

1661
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 7: It is and the health.

1662
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 23: And move on to third down and red zone and

1663
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:35,839
Speaker 23: short yardage.

1664
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 7: And that's what it looks like.

1665
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:40,639
Speaker 21: Real nique of a challenge is who I'm just side.

1666
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:47,679
Speaker 23: I mean they're again, I don't think it's just one move.

1667
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 23: I think there's talent, length, you know, effort. You know,

1668
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:56,839
Speaker 23: they don't if they get blocked, they don't stay blocked.

1669
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 23: Long can can power different moves on the edge, so

1670
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:05,680
Speaker 23: you know they play hard against the run. It's not

1671
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 23: just if you run the ball that they're taking plays off.

1672
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 23: So you know, two really good uh you know book ends.

1673
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 24: Given called tent to your quarterback is what goes into

1674
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,479
Speaker 24: a decision for him to you know, just take thisack

1675
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 24: you want to the next play versus you know, trying

1676
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 24: to trying to extend play. Meanwhile, matching a good security

1677
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 24: given how pause rest of their past records.

1678
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:32,559
Speaker 23: Yeah, I think that that's again having never done it

1679
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:37,040
Speaker 23: and been in facing the fire, it would be hard

1680
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 23: for me to say other than you know, try to

1681
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:43,879
Speaker 23: make a great decision, you know, use great ball security

1682
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 23: and making sure that you know, that's all part of

1683
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 23: everything that we've been working on. And you know, having

1684
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:54,080
Speaker 23: two hands on the football and pocket and you know,

1685
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 23: just having a feel and the timing of you know,

1686
01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:58,679
Speaker 23: when you have to get the ball out on rhythm

1687
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:03,559
Speaker 23: and hopefully if not being able to extend, and when

1688
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 23: you extend, making sure that you're you're good with the

1689
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:09,719
Speaker 23: football going up into the pockets with.

1690
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 25: Will Anderson and this defense beings so good at forcing

1691
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 25: offenses off the field.

1692
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:14,719
Speaker 7: On third downs.

1693
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 25: Does that change the way that you're going about thinking

1694
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 25: about and Josh that play calling on first and second.

1695
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:23,880
Speaker 23: Well, we never want to sit there and be in

1696
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 23: third and twelve were third and fifteen last week we

1697
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 23: picked it up. You know, Chargers were ranked the same

1698
01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 23: as the Texans. And you know, we're gonna go play

1699
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 23: the game. That's what we're gonna do. We're gonna play

1700
01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 23: the game. We're gonna enjoy it, just like we did

1701
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:42,720
Speaker 23: last week. And you know, again, you.

1702
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:44,720
Speaker 7: Have too many of those I think it's probably a

1703
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 7: bad thing.

1704
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 23: But if we find ourselves in those situations, then we'll

1705
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 23: have to just get get ourselves out of them.

1706
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:53,280
Speaker 3: There's one link between you and Demiko.

1707
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 1: It's your coaching the teams.

1708
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 17: That you played for for one of the things you

1709
01:15:57,520 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 17: played for in your career.

1710
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 3: Just curious what does that you to coach who you.

1711
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 1: Played for in the playoffs?

1712
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I appreciate that question, Mike.

1713
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,760
Speaker 23: I I don't want to, you know, I think it's

1714
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:13,800
Speaker 23: an honor to coach in this league. I do There's

1715
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:16,280
Speaker 23: only so many opportunities that you get, and to be

1716
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 23: able to do it here I think is a special meaningful.

1717
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:23,120
Speaker 23: But I don't want to reflect on that too much.

1718
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 23: I want to focus on the game and the imponent,

1719
01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 23: and I think we've covered a lot of that here

1720
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:30,599
Speaker 23: when I got here from CJ.

1721
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:32,719
Speaker 3: Stroud playing as well as he did is at rookie.

1722
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 26: What did you notice your last year in Tennessee about

1723
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:37,639
Speaker 26: what Demiko was doing to turn that program around so quickly.

1724
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 23: I mean they got a lot of draft picks and

1725
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:42,759
Speaker 23: they signed some good free agents.

1726
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 6: What Nick Caley is running on offense, how similar is

1727
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 6: that to Josh's offense.

1728
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 23: I think there's some carryover, there's some some LA stuff,

1729
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 23: and there's some stuff that he probably learned when he

1730
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:55,800
Speaker 23: was here. And then you know what you do is,

1731
01:16:55,800 --> 01:17:00,519
Speaker 23: you know, come in with a base idea, start in

1732
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 23: the run game, and then protection, uh, and then whatever

1733
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 23: ideas that the new coaches have. You kind of formulate

1734
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 23: and kind of figure out what fits and what everybody's

1735
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 23: comfortable with. So I'm sure there's elements of every stop

1736
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 23: that some of those guys have made. He's over minded

1737
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:20,599
Speaker 23: everybody all year of your players, especially to have fun

1738
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:21,240
Speaker 23: and enjoy this.

1739
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:22,639
Speaker 1: Why has that.

1740
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 23: Been so important and is it more important now as

1741
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:30,400
Speaker 23: the games get picked? I mean, I just feel like

1742
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 23: you put a lot into it. You know, this isn't

1743
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 23: the easiest profession in the world, and you know.

1744
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:38,679
Speaker 7: We got to there.

1745
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:41,599
Speaker 23: We only get one chance a week, and so if

1746
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 23: we only try to focus on having fun during the game,

1747
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 23: it's a small window of our week, and so we

1748
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 23: want to we want to bring good people in here

1749
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 23: that we enjoy being around and that are like minded,

1750
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 23: and you know, I want to try to exhibit the

1751
01:17:58,439 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 23: qualities of the identity that we wish to play with,

1752
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:06,200
Speaker 23: you know, and enjoy it and obviously work, but then

1753
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:08,840
Speaker 23: go out to the game and let them have fun

1754
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 23: and compete, and you know that one play is not

1755
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:14,479
Speaker 23: going to make the difference, and that we have to

1756
01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:15,000
Speaker 23: keep going.

1757
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 1: See that lie.

1758
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 26: Back in October, you decided to go to the individual introductions,

1759
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 26: breaking with tradition that you were a part of for

1760
01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:25,520
Speaker 26: so many years with the group coming out and that

1761
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:27,800
Speaker 26: that was sort of a ballicheck, I guess and team

1762
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:31,559
Speaker 26: invention back in two thousand and two. How's that worked out?

1763
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 7: I mean, they looked pretty good the other night.

1764
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 23: I meant, it's as good as as much as our

1765
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,960
Speaker 23: fans like our players, and they cheer and the fireworks

1766
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:42,360
Speaker 23: and everything.

1767
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 7: I thought it was cool. I mean, I don't know.

1768
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 23: The first week we had a little couple of kinks,

1769
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 23: but other than that, it's like everything else, you get

1770
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 23: better the more you do it.

1771
01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 25: Drake, I'm curious is posting interview with the cameras, he

1772
01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 25: made sure the offensive line was behind him, and then

1773
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 25: also when he was speaking with us, he mentioned how

1774
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 25: maybe it wasn't his best game, but that's why you

1775
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:07,679
Speaker 25: love the teammates. Why is it so important of a player,

1776
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:11,320
Speaker 25: especially like a leader on this team, uh, kind of

1777
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:14,320
Speaker 25: acknowledge that you do the things he does well?

1778
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:14,559
Speaker 2: Man.

1779
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:16,120
Speaker 7: I think that's what you do as a leader.

1780
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:21,720
Speaker 23: You try to give credit and accept blame and put

1781
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 23: it on you. I think that's all part of that,

1782
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 23: as being a quarterback in this league and knowing that nobody's.

1783
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:31,360
Speaker 7: Doing this by themselves.

1784
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:35,240
Speaker 23: And so and have some good days and bad days,

1785
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 23: but I think having gratitude is important growing in one

1786
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:39,799
Speaker 23: of the better.

1787
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:40,679
Speaker 7: Mind backers in the league.

1788
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 1: What makes him so challenging to go against?

1789
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 6: And how have you made a senior doubles since he.

1790
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:44,799
Speaker 3: Coached the team?

1791
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 7: Well, I think he's again he's a great leader. I

1792
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 7: think he starts there.

1793
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 23: He's got great leadership in the middle, a good skill set,

1794
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 23: and you know, we talk about a journey to this

1795
01:19:57,080 --> 01:20:01,640
Speaker 23: National Football League and to a career. I haven't been undrafted,

1796
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 23: and his story which is really special.

1797
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 7: And you know.

1798
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:08,640
Speaker 23: I'll always appreciate the the year that that as he

1799
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:13,680
Speaker 23: spent with us, still stay in contact with him. So

1800
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 23: he's done a lot for me personally and my family.

1801
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 23: So I always appreciate that. Wish nothing but the best

1802
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 23: for him. Uh, he knows that. And just you know,

1803
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 23: I think being more comfortable in the defense and you know,

1804
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:32,400
Speaker 23: coverage and you know, more stuff on third down. I

1805
01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 23: think he just feels a little bit more comfortable, you know,

1806
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:38,120
Speaker 23: longer that he's been here in his system.

1807
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 19: What you think about Durelle Taylor that need you want

1808
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:41,559
Speaker 19: to kind of break.

1809
01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 23: Him in and work with him, Well, we had had

1810
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 23: conversations with him in free agency. I ended up going

1811
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:51,559
Speaker 23: somewhere else, and then when he became available, we got

1812
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 23: together and had a conversation and we were able to

1813
01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 23: bring him in.

1814
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:57,559
Speaker 11: Curious with your in game captains and how you announced

1815
01:20:57,560 --> 01:20:59,679
Speaker 11: those on Friday showing the guy's high school tape.

1816
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:01,759
Speaker 8: And all that, how did you come up with that idea?

1817
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 11: And has any of that tape stood out to you

1818
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 11: or impressed you.

1819
01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 23: There are some surprisingly bad high school football tape highlights

1820
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:15,960
Speaker 23: and then there's some good ones. Yeah, just trying to

1821
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:18,600
Speaker 23: keep things. I guess light on a Friday tape, And

1822
01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:23,720
Speaker 23: you know, I think that when you get an odd

1823
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:26,640
Speaker 23: number of captains and other guys get votes and you

1824
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 23: feel like guys are for special circumstances or have shown

1825
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:37,040
Speaker 23: good leadership or good way to recognize somebody and then

1826
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 23: just a way to announce them or they lead off

1827
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 23: the Friday tape. You know their highlights, they were steal

1828
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 23: any places from those. It's not the best tape, you know,

1829
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 23: it's it's not the best tape, but.

1830
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 7: They have you know, we have fun with it, like the.

1831
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:56,879
Speaker 6: Zach Corus of the other the other week to turnovers

1832
01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:59,679
Speaker 6: tone punches or takeaways tone punches. I know you guys

1833
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:01,719
Speaker 6: put an emphasis on that before the Ravens game, because

1834
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:03,559
Speaker 6: you continued put an emphasis on.

1835
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:04,720
Speaker 7: Takeaway every single day.

1836
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:11,000
Speaker 23: The practice script hasn't changed, Our focus hasn't changed. We

1837
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 23: don't emphasize them in bunches. We emphasize them the same.

1838
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 23: So I wish that the more I emphasize them, the

1839
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:19,040
Speaker 23: more we would turn the ball over.

1840
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:20,040
Speaker 7: It doesn't work that way.

1841
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:21,120
Speaker 3: Likes.

1842
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 6: What makes Denico Autry is so good at blocking cakes.

1843
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 23: Great knack, great feel, great length, is timing because he

1844
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:33,920
Speaker 23: has you know, he's a bigger player that has great length,

1845
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:37,799
Speaker 23: and so when he gets into a crease, he doesn't

1846
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 23: just go up right away.

1847
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:40,880
Speaker 7: He he's able to kind.

1848
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:44,240
Speaker 23: Of push for two or three steps and then able

1849
01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 23: to get great length, so he's not just standing at

1850
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 23: the line of scrimmage trying to block them. You know,

1851
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 23: he gets into the line or he is able to swim,

1852
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:55,080
Speaker 23: and you know that'll be a huge key. He's got

1853
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 23: fourteen in his career and just we have to do

1854
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 23: everything that we can and to make it not be fifteen.

1855
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:03,120
Speaker 18: Mike, when you're talking a lot about the Texas defense,

1856
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:04,719
Speaker 18: obviously it's one of their strengths.

1857
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 3: With their offense is pretty good as well, especially Windy

1858
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:09,400
Speaker 3: Marshes had a hundred yard game. What makes that offense

1859
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 3: tough to see?

1860
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:11,920
Speaker 7: Well, I think they're they're gaining confidence.

1861
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 23: It looked like in a run game and the physicality

1862
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:16,720
Speaker 23: in which they played with the other night. And when

1863
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 23: you can do that, then it marries with you know,

1864
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 23: your play action opens up and your space is over

1865
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:24,880
Speaker 23: the middle, open up your boot game and all mary's together.

1866
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:28,639
Speaker 23: So that to me looks like what they would want

1867
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:30,400
Speaker 23: to do. They had a lot of success with it

1868
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 23: the other night, but they know they played physical, they

1869
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:37,479
Speaker 23: ran the football. If they have defensive front four along

1870
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:41,719
Speaker 23: with the defensive backs, force a quarterback to identify earlier

1871
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 23: and have to release the ball even earlier than normal.

1872
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 23: Well hopefully not earlier, but hopefully on time. Hopefully on time.

1873
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 23: And you need great spacing. Receivers need a match the

1874
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 23: speed of the pass rush when.

1875
01:23:56,240 --> 01:23:59,040
Speaker 7: We throw it, so that we can play on time.

1876
01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:02,160
Speaker 1: One of the problems c J Stroud poses, did you

1877
01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:02,759
Speaker 1: just move.

1878
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 24: Out with him?

1879
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 7: Uh? No, I mean I've met with CJ. But well

1880
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:11,679
Speaker 7: I did, he wasn't there.

1881
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:13,520
Speaker 1: What are some of the problems that you posed.

1882
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:20,599
Speaker 23: Specifically, well, uh, he's athletic enough to extend, but also

1883
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 23: uh the pocket presence and that you want. You know,

1884
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:27,599
Speaker 23: he can he can turn his back to the defense

1885
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 23: and come out of there and throw play action.

1886
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 7: Does a good job on a boot game. He keeps

1887
01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:33,440
Speaker 7: his eyes downfield.

1888
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:38,639
Speaker 23: He's accurate, so he kind of gives you a little

1889
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 23: bit of both as far as you know, the ability

1890
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:46,560
Speaker 23: to extend plays, but always keeping his eyes down the field.

1891
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 7: I say ask you those the development of players.

1892
01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:51,639
Speaker 6: Zat core doesn't play callor defense.

1893
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:54,320
Speaker 7: How much does he know? That's the seasons?

1894
01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 23: Well, hopefully as the season goes on, we we all

1895
01:24:56,920 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 23: have gotten better, you know, including Zach, and you know

1896
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 23: the comfort level and the input that everybody's trying to

1897
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:06,479
Speaker 23: have each week to uh to build a plan. You know,

1898
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:09,880
Speaker 23: I'm very appreciative of not only Zach, but but every

1899
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:11,600
Speaker 23: coach here. They put a lot of time in. It

1900
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:14,320
Speaker 23: means a lot to them and they want to give

1901
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:18,320
Speaker 23: their players the best opportunity to succeed. So Zach has

1902
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:20,040
Speaker 23: improved much like our football team.

1903
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:21,639
Speaker 7: Like in the.

1904
01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 18: Diversity of Litch pressure you guys brought last weekend, how

1905
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:25,639
Speaker 18: much of that is just a reflection of your trust

1906
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 18: and the guys in the back end kind of.

1907
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 23: Hold up, all yeah, I mean you have to be

1908
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:31,160
Speaker 23: able to do that. I mean, the more you rushed,

1909
01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:33,200
Speaker 23: the unless you haven't coverage. That's no secret.

1910
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 7: You know.

1911
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:37,200
Speaker 23: We just want to be, you know, trying to disrupt

1912
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:39,599
Speaker 23: the quarterback based on the plan and based on how

1913
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:40,320
Speaker 23: the game's going.

1914
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:44,600
Speaker 7: But those guys have to do a good job, you know, whether.

1915
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:47,800
Speaker 23: We're we're matched, or we're playing some zone coverage behind it.

1916
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:49,680
Speaker 7: Thanks guys for thinking that.

1917
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:55,320
Speaker 1: Okay, that's Mike Rabel. What do we learn?

1918
01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:00,400
Speaker 6: Not surprisingly, had a lot of really good things to

1919
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:02,760
Speaker 6: say about the Houston defense right out of the gate.

1920
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:05,000
Speaker 6: Karen Gurighey and asked him if it was the best

1921
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:08,719
Speaker 6: defense that they will see this year, and he yeah,

1922
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:11,280
Speaker 6: of course, And he went into a lot of the

1923
01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 6: different reasons why. Just not overly surprising, but he indicated

1924
01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:20,000
Speaker 6: that Christian Gonzalez will be out of practice. That's a

1925
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 6: good sign. That means at least he has a chance

1926
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 6: to play Sunday, and I think that he I agree

1927
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:30,599
Speaker 6: with some of the He was asked some questions about

1928
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:34,600
Speaker 6: the Titans the Texans offense as well, and CJ. Stroud specifically,

1929
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:38,639
Speaker 6: And I do think this is an offense that's capable

1930
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:40,080
Speaker 6: of playing better than it did Monday.

1931
01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:44,240
Speaker 1: No, and I count on it, So I don't.

1932
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:46,320
Speaker 6: I think, you know, you can look at the way

1933
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:50,200
Speaker 6: the Patriots defense played against the Chargers and say, well,

1934
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:52,720
Speaker 6: if they did that to the Chargers, and you watch

1935
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 6: the way the Texans played, you know, as sloppy as

1936
01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 6: they were with you know, all the the ball security

1937
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:01,439
Speaker 6: issues that they had, this is going to be a mismatch.

1938
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 6: The Patriots defense is going to be the one that

1939
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:06,439
Speaker 6: everybody's talking about after the game. But I think Mike

1940
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:08,320
Speaker 6: was talking a lot about some of the things that

1941
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:11,600
Speaker 6: the Texans are capable of doing offensively, and Stroud in particular,

1942
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 6: that would lead you to believe that it might not

1943
01:27:14,200 --> 01:27:14,760
Speaker 6: be the same.

1944
01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:19,559
Speaker 1: Right. No, I you can count on Stroud not having

1945
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: those mistakes this game. I'm pretty confident about that, all right.

1946
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:27,760
Speaker 1: Eight five to five Pass five hundred is the Hotline

1947
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:30,960
Speaker 1: podcast at Patriots dot com as the email address. Mike

1948
01:27:31,680 --> 01:27:33,920
Speaker 1: went to the locker room to get a feel for

1949
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:38,280
Speaker 1: the locker room and to get into the dig scrum,

1950
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:40,480
Speaker 1: and also to keep an eye on Evan.

1951
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:42,800
Speaker 6: Be interesting to see what Diggs has to say. He's

1952
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 6: usually a pretty interesting interview.

1953
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to be saying, it's interesting

1954
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:48,800
Speaker 1: to see what Evan is going to be doing in

1955
01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 1: the locker room.

1956
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, Mike will let us know how the eye

1957
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:54,200
Speaker 6: on Evan as you always ask for, and Mike never

1958
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:57,200
Speaker 6: seems to be able to give us anything on that.

1959
01:27:57,280 --> 01:27:59,639
Speaker 1: You know, I'm going to ask the question, give me something.

1960
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:02,120
Speaker 1: It's like, what was the time that ever went out

1961
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 1: to practice? And I think we were like some guy

1962
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:07,560
Speaker 1: with the injury and you know, was he wearing it?

1963
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:14,000
Speaker 1: I really didn't notice it. Total one job and like.

1964
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 6: They would be like today, what ad Gonzales look like?

1965
01:28:17,080 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 6: I didn't even notice him, That's what.

1966
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:21,559
Speaker 1: I wasn't looking for him.

1967
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 6: I didn't. I didn't notice, right if he had a

1968
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 6: brace on?

1969
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:27,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Okay, let's get back to the phones.

1970
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:30,719
Speaker 1: Eldred has been hanging on. What's up? Eldred?

1971
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 27: Hey fellaw, y'all doing good?

1972
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 7: It's biggie, Yeah, not much.

1973
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 27: I would blow, but I'm in the middle of summer,

1974
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:40,120
Speaker 27: so I can't blow the home.

1975
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:42,559
Speaker 1: But all right, don't get in trouble.

1976
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 9: I won't do that.

1977
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:46,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, I know.

1978
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,720
Speaker 27: Y'all was talking about Garrett Wilson and what you can.

1979
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:51,000
Speaker 27: But like I said, don't worry about real Cambell too.

1980
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:53,680
Speaker 27: But I have noticed if you looked at some of

1981
01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:58,920
Speaker 27: the game for him, uh, Stevenson, Montfort and Haunter Henry,

1982
01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 27: they always missing it jip. No, they'd throw ebo, but.

1983
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:02,879
Speaker 13: They don't hit nobody.

1984
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 27: You know, they just go right by them. And I'm

1985
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 27: just one of they feed it up. And Yeah, this

1986
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 27: new receiver.

1987
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:11,599
Speaker 13: They started into the practice squad, I.

1988
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 27: Think he's been with these leave by eight eight years

1989
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 27: or nine years.

1990
01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:19,759
Speaker 6: Trent Sherfield. Yeah, he's a veteran.

1991
01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:21,640
Speaker 7: You know.

1992
01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:25,280
Speaker 6: My guess is that's just insurance at this point. You know,

1993
01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:26,559
Speaker 6: someone gets banged up.

1994
01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 27: Yep, Yeah, Okay, I'm just wondering. I know he's by

1995
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:35,120
Speaker 27: amost thirty, right, So I'm just one. Why don't give

1996
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:39,040
Speaker 27: a back guy of paul a shot like John Giles?

1997
01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:43,360
Speaker 6: John Giles. Yeah, they, I mean they they they did

1998
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:47,080
Speaker 6: elevate Jeremiah Webb last game, but then he was inactive

1999
01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 6: in the game. I mean, I think it's going to

2000
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:51,880
Speaker 6: come down to Eldrid the guys that they have that

2001
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:54,479
Speaker 6: have been there, you know, it's going to be Digs, uh,

2002
01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:57,280
Speaker 6: you know, and then the other guys are going to

2003
01:29:57,360 --> 01:30:01,320
Speaker 6: fall in behind them. I think I go Dig's boot, Williams,

2004
01:30:02,040 --> 01:30:04,439
Speaker 6: Douglas Chisholm. Those are the five guys you're going to

2005
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:07,759
Speaker 6: rely on. And as long as those five are healthy,

2006
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:10,040
Speaker 6: I'm not sure you'll see anybody else.

2007
01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:13,600
Speaker 27: Ye well maybe no. Okay, this all the question I have.

2008
01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:18,880
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks Aldred, all right, okay, thanks. Uh let's go

2009
01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:23,200
Speaker 1: from North Carolina. We're going to cal rialto California and

2010
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:24,240
Speaker 1: it's Sean. What's up?

2011
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:24,599
Speaker 6: Sean?

2012
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:28,120
Speaker 7: Hello?

2013
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:33,639
Speaker 1: Seawan? No, Sean, No, Sean, No, Shawn's a no show.

2014
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:37,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, that's all right. Did you take anything else

2015
01:30:37,760 --> 01:30:40,240
Speaker 6: side of the press conference? And you always ask me

2016
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:41,519
Speaker 6: what my thoughts are now?

2017
01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:44,679
Speaker 1: And I know we wanted to say, you know, what's

2018
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:46,160
Speaker 1: the theme going to be? And it's going to be

2019
01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:47,040
Speaker 1: the Texans defense.

2020
01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:49,080
Speaker 6: We kind of figured that that would be yep.

2021
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:51,360
Speaker 1: And you know, what's the status of Gonzales. We got

2022
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:56,800
Speaker 1: that he's going to be out there. So yeah, pretty uneventful,

2023
01:30:56,840 --> 01:31:02,040
Speaker 1: but good press conference. Uh, let's to bb in New Hampshire.

2024
01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:04,920
Speaker 1: Writing in might be a silly ass because every team

2025
01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:08,120
Speaker 1: is unique and multifaceted, as is every game. But do

2026
01:31:08,160 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 1: you think that Texas might have played or have played

2027
01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:14,760
Speaker 1: anyone this year that is similar to the Patriots. Is

2028
01:31:14,760 --> 01:31:18,559
Speaker 1: the blend of the Patriots' strengths one one of one?

2029
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:23,960
Speaker 1: Or are we one of one? That's saying that the

2030
01:31:24,040 --> 01:31:26,840
Speaker 1: kids say one of one? Or are there any teams

2031
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:29,160
Speaker 1: of the league that you see similarities with? Ultimately, it

2032
01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:31,960
Speaker 1: doesn't matter because we all we got, we all we need.

2033
01:31:32,160 --> 01:31:33,680
Speaker 1: But curious to hear your perspective.

2034
01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:36,360
Speaker 6: I mean, they've played a lot of good teams. I

2035
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:40,599
Speaker 6: mean I don't know stylistically which ones of those most

2036
01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:43,680
Speaker 6: closely resemble the Patriots. You know, maybe that'd be a

2037
01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:45,800
Speaker 6: better question for Evan. He would tell you the Yeah,

2038
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:50,200
Speaker 6: you know the schemes and the you know, the game

2039
01:31:50,200 --> 01:31:53,040
Speaker 6: plans and whatnot. But you know they've played the Just

2040
01:31:53,120 --> 01:31:55,720
Speaker 6: looking at that, and I said this, yesterday played eight

2041
01:31:55,720 --> 01:32:00,200
Speaker 6: teams with ten or more wins. That's a lot.

2042
01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:02,800
Speaker 1: They play the Bengals.

2043
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:05,599
Speaker 6: And that's it's now eleven. They did not play the Bengals,

2044
01:32:06,840 --> 01:32:11,240
Speaker 6: but you know they played They played the Rams, the Jags,

2045
01:32:11,280 --> 01:32:14,360
Speaker 6: the Seahawks, the forty nine Ers, the Broncos. Obviously the

2046
01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:18,439
Speaker 6: Jags twice, the Bills, and the Chargers. That's that's a lot.

2047
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:21,479
Speaker 6: That's that's a lot of playoff teams. They're five and

2048
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:25,120
Speaker 6: four in those nine games, you know, count in Pittsburgh.

2049
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:28,880
Speaker 6: You know, that's that's a lot. So I think they've

2050
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 6: been tested.

2051
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:34,160
Speaker 1: Perillo Texans have edge because they're tested.

2052
01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:36,920
Speaker 6: No, I think it actually works the opposite way, to

2053
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:38,599
Speaker 6: be honest with you, I think that you get kind

2054
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:40,519
Speaker 6: of beat up when you're playing a lot of good teams.

2055
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:43,800
Speaker 6: And that's why everybody was so quick to point out

2056
01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:48,480
Speaker 6: that the easy schedule doesn't necessarily equal failure in the playoffs.

2057
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:50,680
Speaker 6: There's been a lot of teams that had easy schedules

2058
01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:52,760
Speaker 6: and they get to the playoffs in a good spot

2059
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:54,920
Speaker 6: and there with a lot of wins. They play home

2060
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:57,360
Speaker 6: games and they they go. And that's what the Patriots

2061
01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:58,080
Speaker 6: are doing right now.

2062
01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:04,400
Speaker 1: Yep. Bradley in Kansas City, drakes throws downfield have been

2063
01:33:04,439 --> 01:33:06,200
Speaker 1: amazing this year, and I was wondering if you guys

2064
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:09,880
Speaker 1: think his basketball background is possibly responsible for the great

2065
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:12,240
Speaker 1: touch he has on the ball. I've heard many players

2066
01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:14,880
Speaker 1: say he throws a very catchable ball, and the deep

2067
01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:17,880
Speaker 1: throws for him feel like a shooter's perfect three pointer.

2068
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:22,439
Speaker 1: Other quarterbacks credit baseball to their ability to change arm angles,

2069
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:26,599
Speaker 1: but I feel Drake's basketball background contributes to his amazing

2070
01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:28,200
Speaker 1: touch on the ball.

2071
01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:32,719
Speaker 6: Thoughts on this, I mean, I would it's probably worth

2072
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:36,519
Speaker 6: asking him if he feels that way. Just in my

2073
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:39,240
Speaker 6: mind's eye, I would think, no, No, it's a completely

2074
01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:43,200
Speaker 6: different baseball and football. You're throwing a ball. Now. I

2075
01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:47,519
Speaker 6: understand there's a there's a mechanic to throwing a football

2076
01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:49,760
Speaker 6: that's different than throwing a baseball, but it's still like

2077
01:33:49,800 --> 01:33:52,559
Speaker 6: you're throwing in basketball. You're shooting at three pointer by

2078
01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:56,639
Speaker 6: flicking your wrists right like r not throwing the ball

2079
01:33:56,680 --> 01:33:59,519
Speaker 6: with your wrist down like. That's to me an entirely

2080
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:00,559
Speaker 6: different skill set.

2081
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:03,280
Speaker 1: I agree, but you never know. I think that's I said,

2082
01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:05,200
Speaker 1: it might be worth asking him. I think being a

2083
01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:09,160
Speaker 1: multi sport athlete helps. I think that helps everybody exactly.

2084
01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:11,840
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many conversations I've had with people.

2085
01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:15,160
Speaker 1: You know, Devin mccordy is one that I really remember,

2086
01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:18,960
Speaker 1: just how much he felt like being diverse in their

2087
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:23,800
Speaker 1: sports as a as a youth player really helped them. Yep,

2088
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 1: Dan and Everett. Do you think it'd be worth considering

2089
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:31,360
Speaker 1: putting Henderson back to receive kickoffs against a great defense

2090
01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:34,640
Speaker 1: like Houston. Getting extra yards on special teams could make

2091
01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:37,240
Speaker 1: a huge difference when it comes to scoring points.

2092
01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:40,280
Speaker 6: I like that. I like that suggestion. Yeah, I think

2093
01:34:40,320 --> 01:34:42,200
Speaker 6: it would be worth it at this At this pointless

2094
01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:43,760
Speaker 6: so I understand why they took him off of it

2095
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,680
Speaker 6: because he got a bigger role on offense. You are

2096
01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:49,200
Speaker 6: missing Stevenson for a while. You needed to keep him healthy.

2097
01:34:49,479 --> 01:34:53,720
Speaker 6: But at this point, you know, any one of these

2098
01:34:53,720 --> 01:34:55,840
Speaker 6: games is potentially your last game, so you're not really

2099
01:34:55,880 --> 01:34:58,960
Speaker 6: saving anybody for anything anymore. I think that's a good,

2100
01:34:59,360 --> 01:34:59,960
Speaker 6: good suggestion.

2101
01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:03,559
Speaker 1: Okay, I like that, But injury is a concern.

2102
01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:06,000
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, no, I don't want a guy to get hurt, right,

2103
01:35:06,040 --> 01:35:09,479
Speaker 6: But like, you might need to score on the margins

2104
01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:13,240
Speaker 6: in this game, and that's he could he be explosive.

2105
01:35:13,520 --> 01:35:17,360
Speaker 1: Absolutely, We never what about Marcus Jones on kickoffs?

2106
01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:21,400
Speaker 6: They haven't They haven't done that at all. I think

2107
01:35:21,400 --> 01:35:24,799
Speaker 6: they feel like it's better to have an offensive player

2108
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:28,000
Speaker 6: and you know, running the ball and with more power,

2109
01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:31,960
Speaker 6: you know, the potential to break tackles. But I would

2110
01:35:32,080 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 6: I would use I would use Marcus Jones on both.

2111
01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:37,120
Speaker 6: Now that might also have been a wear and tear thing.

2112
01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:38,840
Speaker 6: They didn't want too much on his plate.

2113
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:42,400
Speaker 1: Brad's in Ohio on the hotline. What's up, Brad?

2114
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:45,040
Speaker 8: Hello, guys, how you doing today?

2115
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:46,080
Speaker 1: Okay, great?

2116
01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:51,240
Speaker 8: Great? I just got a couple of observations and question. James,

2117
01:35:51,240 --> 01:35:54,400
Speaker 8: and I know you've been asked a multiple times already

2118
01:35:54,439 --> 01:35:59,519
Speaker 8: about the Ben Brown, the upgrade at running in even

2119
01:35:59,560 --> 01:36:02,320
Speaker 8: a past protection. I think to a degree he was

2120
01:36:02,360 --> 01:36:06,080
Speaker 8: He's been helped a little bit better than Wilson at

2121
01:36:06,080 --> 01:36:10,439
Speaker 8: that's simply because he was he's younger. And the guy

2122
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:16,680
Speaker 8: that called about the basketball, I will say that fingertips

2123
01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:19,960
Speaker 8: play a vital role in being able to shoot a

2124
01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:26,360
Speaker 8: basketball effectively. So that being said, fingertips on a football,

2125
01:36:26,920 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 8: I would assume have that same, uh, you know, kind

2126
01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:33,920
Speaker 8: of feeling like you get when you when you got

2127
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:35,960
Speaker 8: when you know you shoot a three pointer, you know

2128
01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:38,760
Speaker 8: you shoot a three pointer, And it's kind of so

2129
01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:41,320
Speaker 8: in that regard, I would say, maybe there's a little

2130
01:36:41,600 --> 01:36:42,559
Speaker 8: correlation there.

2131
01:36:43,479 --> 01:36:47,839
Speaker 6: Maybe I'll try I'll try to think of it Friday.

2132
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:50,559
Speaker 6: Usually I go in the locker rooms on Fridays. I'll

2133
01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:53,439
Speaker 6: try to remember that and I'll ask him. I'll ask him.

2134
01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:56,920
Speaker 6: See what he says, good quick, It is a good question.

2135
01:36:57,080 --> 01:37:00,160
Speaker 8: He asked that didn't and that made me say think

2136
01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:02,639
Speaker 8: about it because I was thinking about asking you other stuff,

2137
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:04,759
Speaker 8: and then he said that. And I used to coach

2138
01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:09,599
Speaker 8: basketball and players, so I think the fingertips thing would

2139
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:13,680
Speaker 8: have some kind of maybe upgrade help. But then my

2140
01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:18,840
Speaker 8: last thing I have is what can we do? And

2141
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:21,400
Speaker 8: we've had a great season and I hope we keep

2142
01:37:21,439 --> 01:37:23,640
Speaker 8: moving on. I really I agree with you all. I

2143
01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:28,720
Speaker 8: don't see anyone that's really capable of pretty much. We're

2144
01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:32,360
Speaker 8: pretty even with anyone. So what can we do to

2145
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:36,880
Speaker 8: keep make Daniels them? Marone at New England at all calls?

2146
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:39,439
Speaker 8: Do you guys have any idea what we can do

2147
01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:40,559
Speaker 8: toge there?

2148
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:46,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Pam, please pay them. But I mean Marone has

2149
01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:49,400
Speaker 1: been around. I don't know, like you know how many

2150
01:37:49,400 --> 01:37:53,960
Speaker 1: teams are after him. But you know, in thanks for

2151
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:58,320
Speaker 1: the call, Brad. With McDaniels, he might get another shot

2152
01:37:58,360 --> 01:38:01,720
Speaker 1: at a head coach. And you know, the only way

2153
01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:04,200
Speaker 1: you you could keep him if that's the case, is

2154
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:07,040
Speaker 1: if you pay him a lot, because he's going to

2155
01:38:07,080 --> 01:38:09,840
Speaker 1: make a ton of money as a head coach, but like.

2156
01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:11,640
Speaker 6: Right now, you probably don't have to worry about it

2157
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:14,240
Speaker 6: as much because he's still getting Raiders money. But yeah,

2158
01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:17,240
Speaker 6: I'm with Fred one hundred percent. Make it worth his while.

2159
01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:22,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, because they all say, oh, you know, here's

2160
01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:25,280
Speaker 1: where I want to be, but they all have that

2161
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:26,400
Speaker 1: competitive thing.

2162
01:38:26,479 --> 01:38:30,160
Speaker 6: And I do think to a large extent, Josh does

2163
01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:34,120
Speaker 6: want to be here. But I think you're right in

2164
01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:36,880
Speaker 6: the end, if if he gets another opportunity, and he

2165
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:39,320
Speaker 6: really wants another opportunity, then he's going to have a

2166
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:40,559
Speaker 6: hard time turning it down.

2167
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:43,200
Speaker 1: H Danny's in Daytona.

2168
01:38:43,240 --> 01:38:45,960
Speaker 3: Hey Danny, can.

2169
01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:46,519
Speaker 22: You guys hear me?

2170
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:47,200
Speaker 1: Fred?

2171
01:38:47,240 --> 01:38:51,000
Speaker 22: Paul yep, yep, all right, Yeah. I was hoping to

2172
01:38:51,040 --> 01:38:55,800
Speaker 22: have Evan and Mike too. But Paul, this will take

2173
01:38:55,840 --> 01:38:58,599
Speaker 22: to your take. Your guys have been talking about you know,

2174
01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:01,559
Speaker 22: Zoe Lac and Bertane and uh what was his name?

2175
01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 22: Crazy Murray on ninety eight and even Felger too.

2176
01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:06,400
Speaker 2: Uh.

2177
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 22: They're talking about what do you think about this pitch

2178
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:13,680
Speaker 22: heaven Will Campbell will come in sliding him in decision.

2179
01:39:13,439 --> 01:39:14,000
Speaker 1: For this season.

2180
01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:17,160
Speaker 22: Next season, they're talking about sliding Will Campbell into left

2181
01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:20,920
Speaker 22: guard to make him, you know Bee that true all

2182
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:24,439
Speaker 22: pro guard that they he was. You know, mock draft

2183
01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:27,040
Speaker 22: had him coming in. Now, it's not an indictment on

2184
01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:29,720
Speaker 22: Vrabel if they do do that saying that, oh, he

2185
01:39:29,880 --> 01:39:32,360
Speaker 22: was a bust. If they move him to left guard,

2186
01:39:32,800 --> 01:39:36,559
Speaker 22: you keep Garrett Bradbury at center, You keep the rookie

2187
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:40,200
Speaker 22: behind Garrett Bradbury to learn how to play center in

2188
01:39:40,240 --> 01:39:42,599
Speaker 22: the NFL since he only did it short period of

2189
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:45,080
Speaker 22: time at Georgia. And then you keep a Win New

2190
01:39:45,120 --> 01:39:48,599
Speaker 22: at right guard, and then Moses still at right tackle.

2191
01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:53,320
Speaker 22: And since this draft is loaded with tackle prospects, you

2192
01:39:53,400 --> 01:39:55,880
Speaker 22: go out and you try to get a first tackle

2193
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:59,200
Speaker 22: in the first round. Even though we're picking out the bottom,

2194
01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:01,160
Speaker 22: you're still trying to find the left tackle and then

2195
01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:02,200
Speaker 22: get your right tackle.

2196
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:03,439
Speaker 12: What do you think about that?

2197
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:06,680
Speaker 1: Listen, If they do that, then it tells me that

2198
01:40:08,400 --> 01:40:12,679
Speaker 1: they know stuff about Will Campbell that tells them he's

2199
01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:15,000
Speaker 1: not going to be the great tackle we hope he's

2200
01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:17,680
Speaker 1: going to be. I don't love I don't think that's

2201
01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:18,599
Speaker 1: going to happen, though.

2202
01:40:18,520 --> 01:40:21,720
Speaker 6: Now I'm not dismissing it, Danny. I think there's a

2203
01:40:21,800 --> 01:40:24,120
Speaker 6: chance that that happens. But I would not want to

2204
01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:27,439
Speaker 6: do that by taking a tackle in the first round

2205
01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:29,639
Speaker 6: this year, Like I don't want to take tackles back

2206
01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:31,040
Speaker 6: to back years in the first round.

2207
01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:32,360
Speaker 7: I agree with.

2208
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:34,040
Speaker 6: Fred I think I don't think that that would be

2209
01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:36,200
Speaker 6: I think that would be disappointing if you had to

2210
01:40:36,200 --> 01:40:39,120
Speaker 6: do that. I'm not dismissing it. I don't think it'll

2211
01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:41,760
Speaker 6: happen in year one. I think if Will Campbell makes

2212
01:40:41,760 --> 01:40:44,200
Speaker 6: a transition to guard, I don't think it'll be next year, right.

2213
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:48,519
Speaker 6: I think they'll give him more time. But I understand

2214
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:49,599
Speaker 6: what you're talking about, Danny.

2215
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:50,519
Speaker 3: I don't think it.

2216
01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:54,479
Speaker 6: I look at it as both of those guys switching,

2217
01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:57,840
Speaker 6: you know, Wilson going to center, Campbell going to guard.

2218
01:40:57,960 --> 01:41:01,360
Speaker 6: But maybe that's not for another year after this in case,

2219
01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:03,880
Speaker 6: I think they want to see more before they make

2220
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:06,679
Speaker 6: those kinds of rash decisions exactly.

2221
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:08,400
Speaker 22: It's not an indictment on the players.

2222
01:41:08,479 --> 01:41:11,000
Speaker 6: They're good, well, yeah, a little bit.

2223
01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:12,760
Speaker 1: I mean you drafted him as a tackle.

2224
01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:17,439
Speaker 22: To play tackle, yeah, and I think he's worked out

2225
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:18,880
Speaker 22: perfect so far this season.

2226
01:41:18,920 --> 01:41:20,200
Speaker 11: But I think for his.

2227
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:22,720
Speaker 22: Career going forward, if he really wants to be like

2228
01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 22: sitting in Canada, Ohio, possibly or sure, I think he

2229
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:28,360
Speaker 22: should be playing guard.

2230
01:41:28,520 --> 01:41:31,200
Speaker 6: To be honest, well, well if but I'm saying, if

2231
01:41:31,200 --> 01:41:33,519
Speaker 6: you're right, it is a little bit of an indictment,

2232
01:41:35,320 --> 01:41:38,080
Speaker 6: you know. And I'm just it is like you drafted

2233
01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:40,120
Speaker 6: him to play tackle, and if you think he's better

2234
01:41:40,160 --> 01:41:44,439
Speaker 6: at guard, then that's not great. But I don't I'm

2235
01:41:44,479 --> 01:41:47,599
Speaker 6: not there yet. I didn't. I didn't see I think

2236
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:52,040
Speaker 6: I think that Campbell has been okay as the left tackle.

2237
01:41:52,160 --> 01:41:54,839
Speaker 6: I don't think he's just been as quite as effective

2238
01:41:54,880 --> 01:41:56,840
Speaker 6: as I think he's been made out to be. But

2239
01:41:56,920 --> 01:41:58,679
Speaker 6: I also don't think it's been a problem. I don't

2240
01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 6: think it's been a train wreck or anything like that

2241
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:02,280
Speaker 6: where you said, like, oh my god, they got to

2242
01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:04,639
Speaker 6: move this guy because he he can't play the position

2243
01:42:04,840 --> 01:42:07,760
Speaker 6: he I think most weeks he's he's fine. There are

2244
01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:09,640
Speaker 6: some matchups that he struggled with.

2245
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call.

2246
01:42:11,240 --> 01:42:13,080
Speaker 6: He's also going to get better. I think he'll get

2247
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:16,160
Speaker 6: stronger and you know, and get a little bit better too.

2248
01:42:16,200 --> 01:42:18,360
Speaker 6: I wouldn't do this in one year.

2249
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:22,000
Speaker 1: If if they did do what Danny's talking about next year,

2250
01:42:22,280 --> 01:42:24,160
Speaker 1: would you equate it at all to what they did

2251
01:42:24,200 --> 01:42:27,679
Speaker 1: with mccordy, Because they drafted him as a corner.

2252
01:42:28,160 --> 01:42:29,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's what I'm saying. It's not I agree

2253
01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:33,800
Speaker 6: with Danny's premise, Like it's not a disaster. Like Devin

2254
01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:37,320
Speaker 6: mccordy went from being a cornerback to a Pro Bowl safety,

2255
01:42:37,520 --> 01:42:40,600
Speaker 6: and you know, everybody said, you know now, but he

2256
01:42:40,720 --> 01:42:43,360
Speaker 6: was a top four pick right that. That to me

2257
01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:49,840
Speaker 6: is part of the difference. I don't think it's quite

2258
01:42:49,840 --> 01:42:52,479
Speaker 6: the same, but I understand what you're talking about. It's

2259
01:42:52,880 --> 01:42:55,840
Speaker 6: it's something to think about, like would you have done

2260
01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:57,959
Speaker 6: it if you knew that he was going to have would.

2261
01:42:58,160 --> 01:43:02,080
Speaker 1: Have an okay tackle or a Pro Bowl guard out

2262
01:43:02,120 --> 01:43:02,439
Speaker 1: of him?

2263
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:05,599
Speaker 6: And that's why I think Danny would say a Pro

2264
01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:08,719
Speaker 6: Bowl guard. I think as long as he's serviceable at tackle,

2265
01:43:08,760 --> 01:43:11,840
Speaker 6: I think that's more important, all right. You know, Like

2266
01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:17,040
Speaker 6: I looked at like the Kansas City Chiefs right when

2267
01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:22,200
Speaker 6: their rookie left tackle was out, Josh Simmons. He was

2268
01:43:22,240 --> 01:43:24,439
Speaker 6: out for personal reasons in the middle of the season,

2269
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:25,960
Speaker 6: and then late in the year he ended up on

2270
01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:31,880
Speaker 6: ir Their right tackles was a problem all year. They're

2271
01:43:31,960 --> 01:43:34,840
Speaker 6: inside guys are excellent. I think all three of them,

2272
01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:39,679
Speaker 6: or either Pro bowlers or all pros create Humphrey Trey

2273
01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:43,400
Speaker 6: Smith and the other ones escaping me. But at least

2274
01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:47,240
Speaker 6: those two like you can have good guards and your

2275
01:43:47,479 --> 01:43:50,680
Speaker 6: your line struggles, right like, because if you if you,

2276
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:53,280
Speaker 6: if you're really bad outside, so you can make an argument,

2277
01:43:53,320 --> 01:43:55,439
Speaker 6: you move him inside. At least you lock down those spots.

2278
01:43:55,439 --> 01:43:59,120
Speaker 6: But I would rather have a serviceable tackle right than

2279
01:43:59,400 --> 01:44:00,320
Speaker 6: than a great Yuard.

2280
01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:09,320
Speaker 1: Let's go to uh Tasmine in California. What's up, Tasmine?

2281
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:10,360
Speaker 13: What's up?

2282
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:16,439
Speaker 14: Fred hey Evan. First of all, I just wanted to

2283
01:44:16,479 --> 01:44:21,680
Speaker 14: say that if McDaniel's leaves, that's a destrument to us

2284
01:44:21,800 --> 01:44:26,360
Speaker 14: and him, because I feel like he found his most

2285
01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:31,320
Speaker 14: success here as we all know. But second of all,

2286
01:44:31,680 --> 01:44:35,120
Speaker 14: I just want to hype up pastination by saying we're

2287
01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:39,880
Speaker 14: in playoffs. Texans is next team up. They we line

2288
01:44:39,920 --> 01:44:42,240
Speaker 14: them up, we knock them down. That's right, and that's

2289
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:42,840
Speaker 14: what we do.

2290
01:44:43,160 --> 01:44:49,120
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, Thanks Tasmine, appreciate that. That's my philosophy.

2291
01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:52,439
Speaker 1: Just bring them on. We'll take on all comers, you know,

2292
01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:55,080
Speaker 1: and if they're good and we beat them good, if

2293
01:44:55,240 --> 01:44:58,960
Speaker 1: they're good, we lose, well, all right, But I'm not

2294
01:44:59,120 --> 01:44:59,719
Speaker 1: I'm not scared.

2295
01:44:59,760 --> 01:44:59,840
Speaker 5: No.

2296
01:45:00,200 --> 01:45:01,680
Speaker 1: Neither is tasmin No.

2297
01:45:02,040 --> 01:45:04,400
Speaker 6: I mean, I think that there's no teams, you know.

2298
01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:09,240
Speaker 6: I think a couple of calls ago saying they think

2299
01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:11,880
Speaker 6: that the Patriots are on power with everybody, I would

2300
01:45:11,920 --> 01:45:15,320
Speaker 6: agree with that. I think in the AFC it's really flat.

2301
01:45:15,520 --> 01:45:17,560
Speaker 6: I think, and I said before the playoffs started, I

2302
01:45:17,600 --> 01:45:20,320
Speaker 6: could make an argument for six different teams. Pittsburgh was

2303
01:45:20,360 --> 01:45:25,080
Speaker 6: the one that I didn't think belonged. And you know,

2304
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:27,600
Speaker 6: maybe I overrated the Chargers a little bit, but I

2305
01:45:27,640 --> 01:45:31,080
Speaker 6: still think that they I think defensively, they came to

2306
01:45:31,120 --> 01:45:33,479
Speaker 6: play and they had every opportunity to win that game

2307
01:45:33,520 --> 01:45:36,960
Speaker 6: Sunday night. I think the Patriots will have every opportunity

2308
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:40,280
Speaker 6: to win Sunday against Houston and whoever they play, whether

2309
01:45:40,320 --> 01:45:42,800
Speaker 6: it's in Denver or home against Buffalo, I think they'll

2310
01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:47,240
Speaker 6: have the same situation. I don't think there's anybody out

2311
01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:49,000
Speaker 6: there that you look at and say, there's so much

2312
01:45:49,040 --> 01:45:51,360
Speaker 6: better than the Patriots. I don't see the Patriots have

2313
01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:54,320
Speaker 6: to do X, Y and Z perfectly to win. I

2314
01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:56,759
Speaker 6: don't think there's anybody like that in the AFC. The NFC,

2315
01:45:56,960 --> 01:45:58,920
Speaker 6: we'll see. We'll see when they get there, if they

2316
01:45:58,920 --> 01:46:03,400
Speaker 6: get there at the Super Bowl, but not in the AFC.

2317
01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:04,360
Speaker 6: It doesn't exist.

2318
01:46:05,280 --> 01:46:08,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to Easton, George. What's up, George?

2319
01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:12,479
Speaker 13: You guys, can you hear me?

2320
01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:14,880
Speaker 1: Hey?

2321
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:15,120
Speaker 14: Hey?

2322
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:15,400
Speaker 7: Yeah?

2323
01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:17,840
Speaker 13: I just my thought going into this game, right, Like

2324
01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:20,559
Speaker 13: the Pats offense is as good as the Texans defense

2325
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:23,080
Speaker 13: based on NFL rank like one to two or one

2326
01:46:23,080 --> 01:46:26,479
Speaker 13: to three. Pats defense is I think a lot better

2327
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:31,400
Speaker 13: than the Texans offense. So I feel like Texans offense

2328
01:46:31,400 --> 01:46:34,679
Speaker 13: would almost do better with Davis Mills to be honest,

2329
01:46:34,680 --> 01:46:37,000
Speaker 13: but what do you guys think the most important matchup

2330
01:46:37,640 --> 01:46:40,479
Speaker 13: there is? Like Pat's overs Texans D or Pats D

2331
01:46:40,640 --> 01:46:42,639
Speaker 13: vers Sex and zero. I think, you know, if Pat's

2332
01:46:42,680 --> 01:46:45,960
Speaker 13: offense can put up fourteen points, will probably win if

2333
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:49,640
Speaker 13: the Texans defense a special teams don't score. I just

2334
01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:50,400
Speaker 13: want to hear your take.

2335
01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:50,680
Speaker 1: On that one.

2336
01:46:50,680 --> 01:46:50,880
Speaker 7: First.

2337
01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:53,280
Speaker 6: Do you think if the Patriots score fourteen points they win?

2338
01:46:54,960 --> 01:46:57,360
Speaker 13: You know what? I don't think, Houston the offense is

2339
01:46:57,360 --> 01:46:57,880
Speaker 13: going to score?

2340
01:46:58,439 --> 01:47:01,479
Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah, I mean that's good. I say you're grossly

2341
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:04,200
Speaker 6: overrating Davis Mills and grossly underrating c J S.

2342
01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:06,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think twenty is the number, George.

2343
01:47:06,600 --> 01:47:11,920
Speaker 1: I think you need to get to at least twenty.

2344
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:13,280
Speaker 1: All right, thanks George.

2345
01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:17,880
Speaker 6: Just I mean the games that Davis Mills played, I

2346
01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:22,280
Speaker 6: mean they had one like absolute epic fourth quarter collapse

2347
01:47:22,280 --> 01:47:25,880
Speaker 6: by Jacksonville. List said that I think they scored twenty

2348
01:47:25,920 --> 01:47:28,639
Speaker 6: six points in the fourth quarter to beat jackson Guy.

2349
01:47:28,720 --> 01:47:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm just going to say, I just want to warrant

2350
01:47:31,080 --> 01:47:34,720
Speaker 1: Patriots fans that Houston did not win ten games in

2351
01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:37,400
Speaker 1: a row down the stretch, but with just their defense,

2352
01:47:38,080 --> 01:47:38,280
Speaker 1: you know.

2353
01:47:38,520 --> 01:47:40,920
Speaker 6: But I just want to point out like this, like

2354
01:47:41,479 --> 01:47:43,439
Speaker 6: Davis Mills went three and zero. He won the first

2355
01:47:43,439 --> 01:47:45,719
Speaker 6: three games of the ten game winning streak. They scored

2356
01:47:45,760 --> 01:47:48,240
Speaker 6: thirty six points against Jacksonville. Almost all of that was

2357
01:47:48,240 --> 01:47:50,280
Speaker 6: in the fourth quarter. It was an epic collapse by

2358
01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:51,840
Speaker 6: the Jags. By the way, that was the last game

2359
01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:54,680
Speaker 6: the Jags lost before they got knocked out of the playoffs.

2360
01:47:55,160 --> 01:47:57,520
Speaker 6: The other games that they won, they beat the Titans

2361
01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:02,519
Speaker 6: sixteen to thirteen with David Mills playing quarterback. They beat

2362
01:48:02,520 --> 01:48:07,360
Speaker 6: the Bills twenty three to nineteen, which again was all defense.

2363
01:48:07,360 --> 01:48:11,400
Speaker 6: They sacked Josh Allen eight times in that game. Like this,

2364
01:48:11,479 --> 01:48:15,960
Speaker 6: offense was not good when Davis Mills was playing. Now, again.

2365
01:48:16,120 --> 01:48:19,280
Speaker 6: If CJ. Stroud fumbles five times Sunday Night, the Texans

2366
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:21,920
Speaker 6: a win ain't gonna win if he doesn't play well.

2367
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:25,320
Speaker 6: I don't think Davis Mills is capable of playing well.

2368
01:48:25,360 --> 01:48:27,120
Speaker 6: I've seen CJ. Stroud play well.

2369
01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:31,960
Speaker 1: Right now, people are watching that last game and they

2370
01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:35,160
Speaker 1: they're getting this, you know, recency bias against CJ.

2371
01:48:35,280 --> 01:48:37,240
Speaker 6: So you know Davis Mills's passer rate, and I know

2372
01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:39,160
Speaker 6: passer rating isn't the be all end all. He was

2373
01:48:39,240 --> 01:48:41,960
Speaker 6: eighty one point six. I know we went three and zero,

2374
01:48:42,439 --> 01:48:45,840
Speaker 6: but he didn't play well when he did it. You

2375
01:48:45,880 --> 01:48:48,720
Speaker 6: know CJ. Stroud, who's had a but that year had

2376
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:52,080
Speaker 6: a ninety three passer rating and his passer rating in

2377
01:48:52,120 --> 01:48:55,720
Speaker 6: five career playoff games is ninety eight. So he's not

2378
01:48:55,840 --> 01:48:58,000
Speaker 6: the stiff that you guys think you and I don't

2379
01:48:58,040 --> 01:49:00,439
Speaker 6: say you personally, but that people think he is. He

2380
01:49:00,640 --> 01:49:04,000
Speaker 6: was a stiff Monday night with his ball security. When

2381
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:05,599
Speaker 6: he threw the ball, he threw the ball for two

2382
01:49:05,680 --> 01:49:06,639
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty yards.

2383
01:49:06,720 --> 01:49:08,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, just be careful.

2384
01:49:08,479 --> 01:49:10,400
Speaker 6: It was very you know what's funny, It was very

2385
01:49:10,400 --> 01:49:13,799
Speaker 6: similar to Drake May's game when Drake May was actually

2386
01:49:13,840 --> 01:49:18,559
Speaker 6: operating the offense without turning it over. They he looked fine,

2387
01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:21,600
Speaker 6: and so did Stroud the other night. The problem was,

2388
01:49:21,720 --> 01:49:23,200
Speaker 6: you can't turn the ball over like that.

2389
01:49:23,520 --> 01:49:25,640
Speaker 1: The Patriots defense is going to have to have a

2390
01:49:25,680 --> 01:49:27,320
Speaker 1: good game. They're going to have to play.

2391
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:29,280
Speaker 6: I mean, I think if you go into any game,

2392
01:49:29,320 --> 01:49:31,559
Speaker 6: I don't care who you're playing, with the idea that

2393
01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:33,840
Speaker 6: if we can score fourteen points, we win, I think

2394
01:49:33,960 --> 01:49:37,760
Speaker 6: that's a disaster waiting to happen. You might hold him

2395
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:39,800
Speaker 6: done to fourteen points and win, but I don't think

2396
01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:41,559
Speaker 6: that's any plan to go into a game with.

2397
01:49:41,760 --> 01:49:44,679
Speaker 1: Anthony says, how worried should we be with Drake may running?

2398
01:49:45,160 --> 01:49:49,280
Speaker 1: Consider Texans linebacker al shahers notice notorious for being a

2399
01:49:49,280 --> 01:49:49,960
Speaker 1: dirty player.

2400
01:49:50,240 --> 01:49:53,160
Speaker 6: I agree with that. I would definitely head on a

2401
01:49:53,160 --> 01:49:57,120
Speaker 6: swivel for Drake because he's a physical, physical player, dirty

2402
01:49:57,400 --> 01:50:03,080
Speaker 6: I think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm only kidding. Yeah.

2403
01:50:03,160 --> 01:50:05,800
Speaker 6: I told Rodney this, We told him he's a dirty

2404
01:50:05,800 --> 01:50:07,720
Speaker 6: play made our piece with this, Yeah, I think I

2405
01:50:07,800 --> 01:50:09,559
Speaker 6: might have phrased it like you know, I always thought

2406
01:50:09,560 --> 01:50:11,760
Speaker 6: you were a dirty player when you were in San Diego.

2407
01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:16,280
Speaker 1: Uh, Anthony. Anthony writes in I've heard a lots of

2408
01:50:16,320 --> 01:50:19,839
Speaker 1: the Drake didn't play his best. Talk the team especially

2409
01:50:19,920 --> 01:50:22,599
Speaker 1: Drake has been really good at fixing mistakes really quick

2410
01:50:22,640 --> 01:50:26,200
Speaker 1: this season. Agree, How confident are you that the mistakes

2411
01:50:26,200 --> 01:50:28,519
Speaker 1: from last week can be cleaned up before a matchup

2412
01:50:28,520 --> 01:50:29,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday?

2413
01:50:29,080 --> 01:50:30,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's a great point. I think Drake

2414
01:50:30,920 --> 01:50:34,320
Speaker 6: has shown all year long the ability to put bad plays,

2415
01:50:34,400 --> 01:50:38,120
Speaker 6: bad series, bad quarters, bad halves behind him quickly, and

2416
01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:41,040
Speaker 6: I think he did it to an extent on on Sunday.

2417
01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:42,880
Speaker 6: I don't think he was very good at all in

2418
01:50:42,920 --> 01:50:45,360
Speaker 6: the first half. I don't think he was as good

2419
01:50:45,360 --> 01:50:47,160
Speaker 6: as the numbers indicating the second half, but he was

2420
01:50:47,240 --> 01:50:49,400
Speaker 6: much better in the second half than he was the

2421
01:50:49,439 --> 01:50:54,599
Speaker 6: first half. It's ball security, and I'd be surprised if

2422
01:50:54,600 --> 01:50:57,480
Speaker 6: ball security is a huge issue this week for him.

2423
01:50:57,640 --> 01:50:59,439
Speaker 6: You know he had he had a pick and two

2424
01:50:59,439 --> 01:51:02,400
Speaker 6: fumbles and game. I'd be surprised if he had three

2425
01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:04,680
Speaker 6: turnover worthy plays again like that.

2426
01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:11,120
Speaker 1: Battery. I gotta do something here, let's see. Travis writes

2427
01:51:11,160 --> 01:51:15,920
Speaker 1: in West Virginia. I'm a couple days late. I'd like

2428
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:18,880
Speaker 1: to wish Naton, Connecticut a happy birthday. I hope he

2429
01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:21,280
Speaker 1: was able to celebrate with his favorite meal which I

2430
01:51:21,280 --> 01:51:23,760
Speaker 1: assume is saltine crackers and a big glass of water.

2431
01:51:24,520 --> 01:51:25,920
Speaker 6: I thought it was going with a glass of milk.

2432
01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:31,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see Christian rights. In yesterday you talked about

2433
01:51:31,920 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 1: Fred's pet peeve being quarterback sneaks on second and short.

2434
01:51:35,360 --> 01:51:38,800
Speaker 1: My pet peeve is defensive back catching interceptions on fourth

2435
01:51:38,840 --> 01:51:40,639
Speaker 1: down on downfield throws.

2436
01:51:40,760 --> 01:51:42,519
Speaker 6: That's a good one. Yeah, that's a good one.

2437
01:51:42,520 --> 01:51:45,080
Speaker 1: Happened again this weekend, yep. It did in the Packers

2438
01:51:45,160 --> 01:51:47,479
Speaker 1: Bears game and cost him about thirty yards of field

2439
01:51:47,479 --> 01:51:52,600
Speaker 1: position while Carrington Valentine ran around celebrating. How can you

2440
01:51:52,680 --> 01:51:55,360
Speaker 1: have so little situational awareness.

2441
01:51:54,920 --> 01:51:56,840
Speaker 6: And it does happen all the time. Yeah, that's a

2442
01:51:56,880 --> 01:52:01,120
Speaker 6: good observation, yep. And I think it's hard because I

2443
01:52:01,120 --> 01:52:02,960
Speaker 6: think players look at it and say, I have a

2444
01:52:03,040 --> 01:52:05,400
Speaker 6: chance to make sure this ball doesn't get caught by

2445
01:52:05,439 --> 01:52:08,439
Speaker 6: catching it, and that's the natural thing to try to do,

2446
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:11,320
Speaker 6: whereas if I just try to bat it down, I

2447
01:52:11,360 --> 01:52:12,760
Speaker 6: don't normally do that, right.

2448
01:52:12,880 --> 01:52:15,000
Speaker 1: It's it's instinctual to catch it.

2449
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:17,080
Speaker 6: You know, And that's that's sort of not a natural

2450
01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:18,760
Speaker 6: thing to do. And all of a sudden you try

2451
01:52:18,800 --> 01:52:20,680
Speaker 6: to bat it down and you maybe you mistime it

2452
01:52:20,720 --> 01:52:23,360
Speaker 6: and it goes off your hand, off your shoulder, and

2453
01:52:23,400 --> 01:52:25,240
Speaker 6: you know who knows, but you're right.

2454
01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:27,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. The other one is like at the line of scrimmage,

2455
01:52:27,680 --> 01:52:30,719
Speaker 1: pops up and like the quarterback smartly bats it down.

2456
01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:34,840
Speaker 1: Your instinct is to catch it. So it's it is

2457
01:52:34,920 --> 01:52:36,639
Speaker 1: situational awareness and quarterback.

2458
01:52:37,240 --> 01:52:39,760
Speaker 6: Yeah. I think the quarterback is in that situation a

2459
01:52:39,760 --> 01:52:42,360
Speaker 6: lot more often and they do bat them down a lot.

2460
01:52:44,040 --> 01:52:47,639
Speaker 1: Let's see Zach and Ohio starting to be talked about

2461
01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:50,559
Speaker 1: how Drake May prefers to step up into the pocket

2462
01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:54,000
Speaker 1: whenever the edges start to collapse, or if Will Campbell

2463
01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:56,880
Speaker 1: is pushed back into him. With the Texans allowing one

2464
01:52:56,920 --> 01:53:00,360
Speaker 1: of the higher yards per carry for scrambling quarterbacks, would

2465
01:53:00,360 --> 01:53:02,960
Speaker 1: they be smart to put a spy on Drake.

2466
01:53:03,360 --> 01:53:03,519
Speaker 7: Yeah.

2467
01:53:03,520 --> 01:53:05,920
Speaker 6: I wouldn't be surprised. Evan talked about that yesterday a

2468
01:53:05,960 --> 01:53:11,479
Speaker 6: little bit. The Texans have been struggled with scrambles and

2469
01:53:11,840 --> 01:53:14,439
Speaker 6: obviously that's a huge strength of Drake May's game.

2470
01:53:14,560 --> 01:53:14,720
Speaker 7: Yep.

2471
01:53:14,840 --> 01:53:18,080
Speaker 1: Schematically, what would we do to counter a QB spy

2472
01:53:18,200 --> 01:53:20,599
Speaker 1: with our offense? I think Drake's legs are the difference

2473
01:53:20,640 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 1: maker in this game. Would love to see more designed

2474
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:24,360
Speaker 1: QB runs or boots.

2475
01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:28,520
Speaker 6: Well, so those are two different things. Like the scrambles

2476
01:53:28,520 --> 01:53:32,719
Speaker 6: are not right. You know, if you designed quarterback runs,

2477
01:53:32,760 --> 01:53:34,320
Speaker 6: I don't. I mean they did a good job on

2478
01:53:34,400 --> 01:53:39,040
Speaker 6: Josh Allen yep in that in that Thursday night game. Now,

2479
01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:40,880
Speaker 6: I personally think that I had more to do with

2480
01:53:40,920 --> 01:53:42,680
Speaker 6: the fact that it was a Thursday night game and

2481
01:53:42,960 --> 01:53:49,080
Speaker 6: that's tough for all all involved. But I think they

2482
01:53:49,120 --> 01:53:52,479
Speaker 6: need to throw the ball effectively off platform. I think

2483
01:53:52,560 --> 01:53:54,840
Speaker 6: that's how the Patriots are going to make plays in

2484
01:53:54,880 --> 01:53:55,320
Speaker 6: this game.

2485
01:53:57,200 --> 01:54:04,160
Speaker 1: Tim says in Phoenix, why was Torrance? Oh, he's the Bills.

2486
01:54:04,280 --> 01:54:06,720
Speaker 1: Why was Torrence called for a ten yard penalty for

2487
01:54:06,800 --> 01:54:10,640
Speaker 1: picking up Josh Allen? The rules allow pushing, but explicitly

2488
01:54:10,720 --> 01:54:13,280
Speaker 1: call out picking up the ball carrier. There is no

2489
01:54:13,320 --> 01:54:16,040
Speaker 1: confusion or debate. If he picked him up, he just

2490
01:54:16,120 --> 01:54:18,680
Speaker 1: won angry runs on Good Morning Football for and I

2491
01:54:18,760 --> 01:54:22,320
Speaker 1: quote picking up the franchise just curious asking for a friend.

2492
01:54:22,320 --> 01:54:24,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it would have changed the outcome or

2493
01:54:24,320 --> 01:54:26,400
Speaker 1: anything like that. The tush push is one thing, but

2494
01:54:26,720 --> 01:54:27,679
Speaker 1: where is the line?

2495
01:54:28,200 --> 01:54:30,720
Speaker 6: Well, that's why I think that that's going to go away. Yeah,

2496
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:33,280
Speaker 6: it's not the tush push. I think it's more of

2497
01:54:33,320 --> 01:54:36,400
Speaker 6: these piles. They get pushed on runs, which I don't

2498
01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:41,200
Speaker 6: think that's not football, like two offensive linemen getting behind

2499
01:54:41,240 --> 01:54:43,560
Speaker 6: the running back and pushing the defensive backs that are

2500
01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:44,360
Speaker 6: trying to stop them.

2501
01:54:45,520 --> 01:54:46,560
Speaker 1: From the locker.

2502
01:54:46,400 --> 01:54:49,280
Speaker 10: Room, what was the mood where the players friendly to that?

2503
01:54:49,440 --> 01:54:53,280
Speaker 23: None of them looked like what was it?

2504
01:54:53,480 --> 01:54:57,800
Speaker 3: Like?

2505
01:54:58,240 --> 01:54:59,000
Speaker 12: What was it like?

2506
01:55:01,880 --> 01:55:03,920
Speaker 6: It's just it was the real quick like why I

2507
01:55:03,960 --> 01:55:06,720
Speaker 6: think that the tush push isn't really the problem. It's

2508
01:55:06,800 --> 01:55:08,200
Speaker 6: the other pushes.

2509
01:55:07,800 --> 01:55:09,560
Speaker 9: That Uh oh yeah, yeah, you talked about that during

2510
01:55:09,600 --> 01:55:11,280
Speaker 9: the game, a little bit of it's stupid.

2511
01:55:11,360 --> 01:55:13,200
Speaker 3: Well, Mike is back from the locker.

2512
01:55:13,320 --> 01:55:13,480
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2513
01:55:13,520 --> 01:55:15,600
Speaker 3: It was very busy, very busy as you would expect

2514
01:55:16,240 --> 01:55:18,160
Speaker 3: to play a visual. Yeah, it does.

2515
01:55:18,400 --> 01:55:22,080
Speaker 9: I walked down the hallway behind Kiris Tonga, so appears

2516
01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:25,520
Speaker 9: he's going out to practice. I also saw uh, Christian

2517
01:55:25,560 --> 01:55:27,440
Speaker 9: Gonzalez getting ready. We didn't see him putting on red

2518
01:55:27,480 --> 01:55:29,440
Speaker 9: jers or anything. He was off limits from interviews, but

2519
01:55:29,760 --> 01:55:31,320
Speaker 9: looked like he was getting stuff together.

2520
01:55:31,480 --> 01:55:34,200
Speaker 3: So good, real good sign. Heard from Steph.

2521
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:36,200
Speaker 9: Diggs, who also had a pile of Girl Scout cookies

2522
01:55:36,240 --> 01:55:37,000
Speaker 9: in front of his locker.

2523
01:55:37,280 --> 01:55:37,920
Speaker 1: He's selling them.

2524
01:55:38,360 --> 01:55:40,560
Speaker 9: He was trying to support the girl Scouts and uh

2525
01:55:40,840 --> 01:55:44,160
Speaker 9: he said the smolls are his favorite. Of course, those

2526
01:55:44,160 --> 01:55:46,680
Speaker 9: ones if he named them recently, though they're different names now.

2527
01:55:46,720 --> 01:55:48,320
Speaker 9: I used to be like tag alongs and now they're

2528
01:55:48,320 --> 01:55:52,640
Speaker 9: peanut butter patties. Anyway, but a lot of compliments, of

2529
01:55:52,640 --> 01:55:55,320
Speaker 9: course for the Houston defense, and you know Diggs talking

2530
01:55:55,320 --> 01:55:58,080
Speaker 9: about being ready getting open quick, that they're not going

2531
01:55:58,120 --> 01:55:59,880
Speaker 9: to have a lot of time. But the quarter of

2532
01:55:59,920 --> 01:56:02,360
Speaker 9: the day, as we did talk to Will Campbell and

2533
01:56:02,360 --> 01:56:04,560
Speaker 9: then we talked to Austin Hooper and they were asking

2534
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:06,400
Speaker 9: Austin Hooper a little bit about just Will and his

2535
01:56:06,440 --> 01:56:08,480
Speaker 9: performance in his first game and stuff, and he's like, look,

2536
01:56:08,480 --> 01:56:11,560
Speaker 9: I'm not really watching Will play every play, but I'll

2537
01:56:11,560 --> 01:56:13,800
Speaker 9: just tell you this, whenever I'm in The'll huddle with him,

2538
01:56:13,840 --> 01:56:16,200
Speaker 9: it looks like he's ready to choose violence every single time.

2539
01:56:16,800 --> 01:56:19,920
Speaker 9: So it was a good a good quote. Will Campbell

2540
01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:21,160
Speaker 9: had a lot of a lot of cool stuff to

2541
01:56:21,200 --> 01:56:24,520
Speaker 9: say too. He was just talking about going against Will Anderson.

2542
01:56:24,520 --> 01:56:25,680
Speaker 3: He's like, I went against Will Anderson.

2543
01:56:25,680 --> 01:56:27,960
Speaker 9: I was eighteen years old, and he was listing off

2544
01:56:27,960 --> 01:56:29,480
Speaker 9: some of the guys that he played against.

2545
01:56:29,480 --> 01:56:32,120
Speaker 3: But of course, a lot of respect for the edge rushers,

2546
01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:33,480
Speaker 3: and and Will was honest.

2547
01:56:33,480 --> 01:56:34,840
Speaker 9: He's like, look, I didn't I didn't put your shot

2548
01:56:34,840 --> 01:56:36,320
Speaker 9: out the other night, you know, and that's how it's

2549
01:56:36,360 --> 01:56:39,240
Speaker 9: going to go. But these are the best would different,

2550
01:56:39,440 --> 01:56:41,200
Speaker 9: He's like, these are these are the best teams with

2551
01:56:41,240 --> 01:56:43,520
Speaker 9: the best players, and you know, we just it's not

2552
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:45,120
Speaker 9: always going to be perfect, but we got to go

2553
01:56:45,200 --> 01:56:47,600
Speaker 9: back out there and be ready to play. So, uh,

2554
01:56:47,680 --> 01:56:50,560
Speaker 9: you know, again, just feel quiet confidence. Nobody seems too

2555
01:56:50,600 --> 01:56:52,720
Speaker 9: tight and uh, you know, Digs leading the charge there.

2556
01:56:52,760 --> 01:56:53,440
Speaker 3: But it's huge.

2557
01:56:53,440 --> 01:56:58,160
Speaker 1: First press conference, you said it was a crowded locker room. Yeah,

2558
01:56:58,640 --> 01:57:02,000
Speaker 1: was music playing, No, no music, no music, no music business.

2559
01:57:02,080 --> 01:57:03,920
Speaker 1: A lot of people you don't recognize there.

2560
01:57:03,920 --> 01:57:06,240
Speaker 9: Was I noticed one person recognized. I noticed there, Mike.

2561
01:57:06,280 --> 01:57:08,720
Speaker 9: It was the Western Mass News. Western Mass News made

2562
01:57:08,760 --> 01:57:10,440
Speaker 9: the trip out for the playoffs.

2563
01:57:10,480 --> 01:57:13,240
Speaker 6: The name of the oh it was Western Mass News.

2564
01:57:13,280 --> 01:57:14,640
Speaker 9: Well I didn't know who this one reporter was and

2565
01:57:14,680 --> 01:57:16,000
Speaker 9: I looked at this Mike flag and he was from

2566
01:57:16,000 --> 01:57:20,080
Speaker 9: Western Mass News. Okay, I've never heard I've never heard

2567
01:57:20,120 --> 01:57:21,400
Speaker 9: of Western Mass News either.

2568
01:57:21,800 --> 01:57:23,520
Speaker 1: Alex knows who I bet she does.

2569
01:57:24,720 --> 01:57:26,600
Speaker 9: So No, it was good, but just yeah. The uh,

2570
01:57:26,960 --> 01:57:29,440
Speaker 9: it's as busy as I've ever seen it, as many media.

2571
01:57:29,480 --> 01:57:31,280
Speaker 9: I mean, people were still showing up now as I

2572
01:57:31,360 --> 01:57:33,600
Speaker 9: was walking out, and it's like kind of winding down

2573
01:57:33,680 --> 01:57:34,000
Speaker 9: right now.

2574
01:57:34,040 --> 01:57:39,160
Speaker 1: So Ion, Alex, I Alex, I mean Evan.

2575
01:57:37,920 --> 01:57:40,440
Speaker 3: I saw both of them. Where was Evan?

2576
01:57:40,480 --> 01:57:42,680
Speaker 9: Evan was talking to Marcus Jones when I left, having

2577
01:57:42,680 --> 01:57:46,120
Speaker 9: a little one on little with that, a little quiet time,

2578
01:57:46,680 --> 01:57:48,480
Speaker 9: and otherwise I had to catch him. He was I

2579
01:57:48,520 --> 01:57:49,840
Speaker 9: think he was in digs and then I saw him,

2580
