1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Hello Texans, and welcome to the show that keeps you

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: in touch with your Houston Texans as they are on

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: their way to London to take on the Jaguars on

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: Sunday with a special kickoff time of eight thirty am

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: brighton early back here in Houston, two thirty local in

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: London at Wembley Stadium. So it's breakfast at Wembley for

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: y'all here in Houston. Enjoy it, and once again, congrats

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 1: to the Astros and a great season. I know it

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: didn't end the way they wanted it to, tremendous run.

10
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: Really disappointing about last night. Of course, you want to

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: win that championship, but they had a great campaign and

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: they are set up for numerous runs at numerous championships.

13
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 1: So best of luck to them. Now, best of luck

14
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: to the Texans traveling first time going overseas. They played

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: in the International Game in Mexico City in twenty sixteen.

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: And our first guest, if you will, of the evening

17
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: is John McLean as John Harris will join us in

18
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: the next segment, but let's catch up with the general now.

19
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: In general, a lot has been made about the travel.

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: Doug Morone says it's awful. I think he's just trying

21
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: to sort of bat the Texans a little bit here.

22
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: What do you think is too much of a big

23
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: deal being made about this? Not enough? What are your thoughts?

24
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: It depends on who you listen to. John Gruden went

25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: on short weekend like the Texans and Jaguars are, and

26
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: he got his brains beat out, and then he said, okay,

27
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: this time after they wanted Indy, they went straight over

28
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: and to beat the Bears. But the Bears been getting

29
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: beat everywhere, so he recommended going early. And I would imagine,

30
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: like Sean Gibson's been over there multiple times with the

31
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: Jaguars carrying. Connolly's been down two times in the last

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 1: three years, and he's like to Shaun Watson said last

33
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: week he didn't know. As soon as he gets on

34
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: a plane for all those worldwide travels, he goes to sleep. Yeah,

35
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: And I'm sure. I'm sure that's the way it'll be.

36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: And then they get all days Saturday to rest after

37
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: practice Friday and in some community event. It's going to

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: be practiced at a rugby facility and I'm looking forward

39
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: to seeing that. But I think it still comes down

40
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: to whose best there's been some really close games over there,

41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: and there have been some blowouts. Yeah, and the Jags have,

42
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: as you said, participated in so many. What about six

43
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: and they're three and three? What about them right now?

44
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: What about Jacksonville and what you're seeing out of them.

45
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: I know the schedule hasn't been that hard for them,

46
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: but they are four and four and you have to

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: take them seriously, especially considering how close it was out

48
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: here at NRG Stadium. They've won two in a row.

49
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: They've beaten the Bengals and the Jets. But they had

50
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: eight sacks against the Jets. They're ends in Galway and

51
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: Allen had four, Clay's Campbell had one and a half.

52
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: So they're generating a ferocious pass rush without blitzing. That

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: could be problems for the Texans. I can't imagine to

54
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: Sean Watson's gonna have time to drop back and hold

55
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: the ball. To me, it's gonna have to be like

56
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: it wasn't in Atlanta, where he drops back backfoot, hits

57
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: ball comes out. Texans are favored over there by two. Texans,

58
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: I would say ought to they should win the game.

59
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: They've got another look at Minshew, but Minshew's gotten another

60
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: look at them, and they have to worry about his

61
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: running because let's see, he's a little He has over

62
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: two hundred yards and the most he's had against any

63
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: team was fifty six against the Texans. Now they know

64
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: what he's capable of doing, running and throwing, and this

65
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: could be his last game. They got to buy a week.

66
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: If he doesn't play well or they lose, they're expected

67
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: to go to Nick Falls. If he wins for third

68
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: consecutive victory, and that's a good team he's beating, not

69
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: the Jets of the Bengals. There's a good chance that

70
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: they're gonna tell Falls, well, you keep working on that rehab.

71
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: I know you've been asked a ton about replacing JJ

72
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: Watt and how they might do it, and then everybody

73
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: knows they can't really replace JJ Watt. But how do

74
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: you think it's all gonna go down? Up front? On

75
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: that defense? They needed to be Like two thousand and sixteen,

76
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: I think they had signed to Antonio Smith, who had

77
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: retired DJ Reader a rookie, his snaps increase and everybody

78
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: just had to take up the slack. I think we'll

79
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: see more. I believe that three men front will be

80
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: done on the nose and reader and blacks on it

81
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: in and then I think that though many who and

82
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: Jacob Martin will give more snaps without JJ Watt, you know,

83
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: even with JJ, Pro Football Focus that hit might think

84
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: second in the league at the most disruptive pass rusher

85
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: didn't show up in sacks, but taking an account knockdowns

86
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: and players who had to block him. So people look

87
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: at his sacks and go, well, he wasn't having that

88
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: good a year according to Pro Football Focus. He darts

89
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: here was And they'll still be good against the run,

90
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: I believe, because they're great against the run. But I

91
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: don't know even when JJ was healthy, people are throwing

92
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: a lot ball a lot because the injury depleted secondary.

93
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: I would imagine they're gonna come out and try to

94
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: run for that. They shut down for that the first time,

95
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: and it'll come down to Minshew versus Watson, and I'll

96
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: take Watson, Yeah, I will too. What about the secondary

97
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: for the Texas as they get people healthier in these

98
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: next few weeks and we don't know exactly what it's

99
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: going to look like Sunday, but as they get people back,

100
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: they have the chance to be a whole lot better.

101
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: That's obviously gonna help things up front. I doubt that

102
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: Sean Gibson will play is against his former team, and

103
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: he played that first game against him and mant a

104
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: lot to him to Justin Reid to make that great

105
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: stop him for Nett on the two point conversion for

106
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: the thirteen to twelve victory. Bradley Roby won't play. I'm

107
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: guessing both those guys will be back for after the

108
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: bye week when the Texans start their toughest three games

109
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: stretch at Baltimore Thursday night nationally televised game and Energy

110
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: Statement Indy, then Sunday night nationally televised game against New England.

111
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: So if you and Jonathan Joseph, I have no idea

112
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 1: if he can't come back. And Lonnie Johnson, you know, guys,

113
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: you've seen this too. Mark. If you get a concussion

114
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: and you go out and you go through the protocol

115
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: and come back in the game, you're gonna play the

116
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: next week. How many guys go out, don't come back

117
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: and are able to play the next week. So I'll

118
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: be surprised Ifniehson plays, which means we're going to see

119
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: a lot of Gary and Connelly. Keon crossing Corneil Armstrong

120
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: and they signed Brian body Calhoun to help out back

121
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: there as well, and he could also play special teams

122
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: for them, So we'll see that. That shows you how

123
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: desperate they are. And they've been working out a lot

124
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: of corners but can't do anything about injuries. But the

125
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: good thing is nobody's out for the year, right if

126
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: everything and of course you're going to get other injuries,

127
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: but if everything goes according to plan, they'll have a

128
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: healthy secondary after them bye week. And that's important because

129
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: you get you know, you got Lamar Jackson and Jacobe

130
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: Brizette and Tom Brady. So it's the only division in

131
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: football with everybody five hundred or better. Four oh last

132
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: week and for now because the Titans have to visit

133
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: the Panthers. And I know the Panthers are coming off

134
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: a bad loss, but they're tough and Tennessee this will

135
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: be a good measuring stick for them this weekend. What

136
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: do you think? Yeah, they've won two in a row.

137
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: Jaguars have won two in a row. Colts have won

138
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: three in a row. Colts came so close to losing

139
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: that gay to Denver. I'm watching that game and saying

140
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: Why didn't Jacobe Brizette play like that against the Texas.

141
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: He was a totally different quarterback, their game plan was different.

142
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: So if the Titans beat the Panthers, they've been very

143
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: lucky to beat the Charger and then the Bucks with

144
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: controversy right at the end of both games, maybe their

145
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: lucks running out. Maybe, And then you look at the Colts,

146
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: who are at the Steelers, who just beat up on

147
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: the Dolphins on Monday Night football. Look, it wasn't a

148
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: beat down for a long time in that game, but

149
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: eventually they pulled away. What do you think of that one?

150
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph, the quarterbackup quarterback who got hurt and then

151
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: they had to play third stringer. He came back, he

152
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: got off to a slow start. If he plays the

153
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: way he did in the second half, they got a

154
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: chance to beat the Colts. I'm big in Bensburger to

155
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: win that game. Okay, elsewhere in the National Football League

156
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: this week coaches situation here Nagy for the Chicago Bears.

157
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: I mean, last year he was the flavor of the year,

158
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: really and now not so much. What do you make

159
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: of what happened at the end of that game? They're

160
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: gonna be at the Eagles this week, and he had

161
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: to or wanted to take a knee and just drain

162
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: the clock and kick a forty one yard field goal

163
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: that ultimately missed. What do you think of what they're

164
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: going through up there? That tells you he has no

165
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: confidence in Mitchell Trubisky whatsoever. And everybody up turns writing

166
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,559
Speaker 1: reminding them every day that they traded up a spot

167
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: to get Trubisky when they could have stayed in the

168
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: third spot and had Patrick Mahomes or just Sean Watson,

169
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: that the season gonna haunt them, probably end up causing

170
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: Ryan Pace's job. But boy Trubisky right now is a

171
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: better runner than passer. That's not a good combination, not

172
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: a good combination at all. And he's done some things

173
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: for them. They made the playoffs last year, could have,

174
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: would have should have won that playoff game, but ultimately

175
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: they failed at that. Okay, more coaches situations brewing here

176
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: as the Broncos are hosting the Browns, and both coaches

177
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: are on the hot seat already to have to say,

178
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're wanting done, but this is

179
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: not a good look for Freddy Kitchens and the Brown

180
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: so far, and Vic fanjiel and the Broncos are really

181
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: struggling as well. I believe that Freddy Kitchens is going

182
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: to be a one and done. They're the most penalized

183
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: team in the league. They don't have discipline. You know,

184
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: he got that job because of his play calling and

185
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: his work with Baker Mayfield. He's in over his head.

186
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: He's not a head coach, he hasn't. The only reason

187
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,239
Speaker 1: he got it was because of what he did with Mayfield.

188
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: So I don't think Vic Fanjie will get fired after

189
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: one year. I think John Elway, the way people are talking,

190
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: he could get fired. But can you imagine the Broncos

191
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: ever firing it Alway? I can't. I mean, he practically

192
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: has ownership, right, so I think it's a very difficult

193
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: thing to do. He might decide, you know, to step

194
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: aside and smell the roses and bring in another general manager.

195
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, hire somebody to run it for him. If

196
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: if if Drew Locke who I don't know, if he's hurt,

197
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: still hurt, or he just is not ready. But he

198
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 1: drafted Drew Lock in the second round. And who was

199
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: it to this week that talked about oh Way loved

200
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. He checked every box but one height, so

201
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: he does that second round. He was a second round

202
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: round brock Oswather. Oh boy, that did not work out

203
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: according to plan. One year it did. He was five

204
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: and two as a starter. There win a Super Bowl.

205
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: There you go the Jets of the Dolphins. The Fire

206
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: Sale Bowl. All right, so the Dolphins are certainly in

207
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: it and the Jets Jamal Adams not traded. What do

208
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: you make of the way they're handling things, John, I've

209
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: never seen anything like it. Some of these teams dumping

210
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: players just to get draft choices. It feels very baseball

211
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: or basketball like. It's very different from a National Football

212
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: League perspective. Trade Day was a big disappointment. By the way,

213
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 1: anybody listening saw those reports the Texans were interested in

214
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: Levon Bell. They were never ever interested in Levon Bell,

215
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: and so don't believe it. And I think that's the case.

216
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: They were trying to trade him, and whoever they were

217
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: talking to wasn't given enough right. So we got to

218
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: find another team that would scare him. Well, bellows trading everything,

219
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: let's put him in there. If they weren't interested in

220
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: Bill when it wouldn't have cost picks, just money. Why

221
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: that would they be interested him? Now? Sixth or sixth

222
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: best running game? Bill would have to catch the ball?

223
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: Why would you give Duke Johnson? It just made no

224
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: sense on many levels and it was never true. But

225
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: right now, the Dolphins, I ask a couple of Dolphins

226
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: fans and I'm friends with where you're worried when they

227
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: were ahead of the Steelers money night? So what do

228
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: you mean worried? Worried? Didn't that win because one win

229
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: could cost you the first couple of picks? Yep. Because

230
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: the Bengals are bad now. They're going with a rookie

231
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: quarterback instead of Andy Dalton Washington. If they played Dwayne Haskins.

232
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: They're saying Askins doesn't know the playbook. So it's gonna

233
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: be a fight to see who's the worst team among

234
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: those three. And the Jets are right behind them. Redskins

235
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: had bills this week. We don't really need to get

236
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: into that, Dewey, But let's get into this because a

237
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna say this, it's the game

238
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: of the week, and I think they're right. The Patriots

239
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: at the Ravens. When you look at things zooming out. Objectively,

240
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: this is the Patriots first real test of the season

241
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: other than Buffalo. I get it, that was a test,

242
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: But here are the Ravens wanting to make some noise,

243
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: trying to get in position for a first round by

244
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: at the very least. What do you think of this matchup?

245
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: I think that the Patriots, their schedule has been so easy,

246
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: and I think right now I think they'll win this game.

247
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna coast to the home field advantage, but it

248
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: would sure make things more interesting if the Ravens and

249
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson could pull off an upset. You think Jackson

250
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: gets a Hundy on the ground. No, No, you don't

251
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be able to rush for that amount? No?

252
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: I do not. Okay, because as times go, teams are

253
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: gonna jus. Like last year in a playoff, Chargers came

254
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: up with a great game plan. Defensive coordinators are not stupid.

255
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: I'd love to let a quarterback run the ball all

256
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: the time and not throw right Vikings at the Chiefs,

257
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: Gold Minnesota and looked up Hikings are started to really

258
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: flex their muscles. Kirk Cousins looking very good. Gary Kubiak

259
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: is coaching that offense, and he's doing a great job.

260
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: They've got more balanced than anybody. They got the best

261
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: running back in the league. But they're on the road now.

262
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, the Kansas City's terrible at home. I think

263
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: they're unbeaten on the road, and they're one and three

264
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: at home. Homes won't be back in this game. Matt

265
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: Moore had a really good game last week, and he

266
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: lost a tough one at home to Green Bay, So

267
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm taking the general. What do you have going on

268
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: on the Chronicle? I have a column for Friday on

269
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: the art of making a first down with DeAndre Hopkins

270
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: and what all goes into that besides you just throwing

271
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: it and catching it. Thank you very much. There he

272
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: is John McLain and let him know. Coming up, John

273
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: Harris and I play More Likely to happen, James Bond references,

274
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: British references, other games. How about the Patriots and Ravens

275
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: hooking up. How about the nuances of the Texans and

276
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. It's all coming up on Texans Radio. It's

277
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: the show that gets you inside the building. Even as

278
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: the team is getting ready for the London trip. Texans

279
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: going there to take on the Jaguars on Sunday eight

280
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: thirty am kickoff. We keep reminding you because you might

281
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: forget okay, you might get out a bed Saturday night.

282
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: You got the fall back thing going up. Actually that's good,

283
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: Johnny John Harris joins us now because it's fall back right,

284
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: because you might wake up thinking, oh no, I missed

285
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: the beginning of it, but you didn't because you get

286
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: an extra hour. Well, the thing you have to consider

287
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: you do have to wake up. You do have to

288
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: wake up, because if you don't, that's problem. If you

289
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: don't fall back, because you've got your manual clock going,

290
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: you still like, oh god, it's not ninety five. Well

291
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: you missed the first fifteen minutes. Yep, you gotta you

292
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: gotta get up. Eight thirty, eight thirty. Do you get

293
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: to xtra our sleep? Eight thirty Donny Houston two thirty

294
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: out in London. I don't know if you're going. People

295
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: are going, if you're gonna be in London two thirty,

296
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be in London, and there are a

297
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: lot of people going, but I get it. Most of

298
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: the people listening are not going. All right, let's play

299
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: the game that's been sweeping the nation, or at least

300
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: sweeping through our studio here, the Hunday Texans Radio studio,

301
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: and we call this one more likely to happen because

302
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: we go over scenarios and decide which one is more

303
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: likely to happen. So are you ready to go? Johnny?

304
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: I love this. Let's number one in this particular game,

305
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: more likely to happen, more likely to be a better

306
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: way for me to handle this broadcast using British grammatical

307
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: methods of sportscasting, like Houston are in the lead or

308
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: Jacksonville are trailing, or come up with British references like

309
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: bangers in Mash when Carlos Hide is a big run

310
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: or something like that. What do you think I liked?

311
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: I tend to like the Bangers in Mash, all right,

312
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: Like Carlos Hide. I like that. I think that's more

313
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: likely to happen because that feels like a more emotional

314
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: in the moment sort of thing. Okay, so I think

315
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: that's that's more likely to happen. But you know, it's

316
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: interesting watching I've said this a few times. I've gotten

317
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: more to watching Premier League games and hearing them speak

318
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: that way, like Manchester City are are Yeah, it's bizarre.

319
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: It is weird. Wait did I hear that? Well? I

320
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: always when the Heat broke into the league and the

321
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: magic right, that was actually before I was a sportscaster,

322
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: but I was starting up sort of yeah, and I

323
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: was thinking, well, the Heat is a singular thing. It's heat.

324
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: It's a team. You usually say the team is not

325
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: the team are, but some people would say the Heat

326
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: are doing this. And I think that both ways are

327
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: sort of acceptable, except in this country. You can't say

328
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: Houston are in the league. You just can't do that.

329
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: Can't do that. But it's a British thing. Yeah, it

330
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: definitely is. But I think you could you could absolutely

331
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: come up with some good ones. Deshaun Watson delivers on

332
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: the crumpet to DeAndre Hopkins. I mean there could be

333
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: some things you could throw. Yes, you can. Absolutely. It's

334
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: tea time. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I'll come up with one.

335
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's too bad you're not playing the Steelers

336
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: because you can say they top Old Big bad like

337
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: that would have been good. That would have been okay,

338
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: that would have been fantastic, all right, Next one more

339
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: likely to happen, More likely to happen. Leonard Fournette eclipses

340
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: one hundred rushing yards or the Texans get to one

341
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: hundred forty rushing yards as a team. Now, last time

342
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: the Texans played the Jaguars, they did get some yardage

343
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: on the ground, but Fournette did not get to a

344
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: Hundy against Houston. He's almost at eight hundy right now

345
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: at the halfway point of the year. He's doing very

346
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: well for himself. But more likely to happened Fournette over

347
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: one hundred yards or the Texans over one hundred forty

348
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: as a team. Texans over one hundred forty as a team.

349
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: And I will tell you why I say that, John

350
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: d Filippo the OFFENSI accordination for the Jags. This is

351
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: more about him than it is sort of Fournette and

352
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: because he has Gardner Minshew. I think d Filippo won't

353
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: bang his head against the wall if he runs Fournette

354
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: in there a few times and it's clear the Texans

355
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: are shutting it down. I don't think he is going

356
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: to continue to do it just to keep chipping away,

357
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: thinking that the Texans will fade at some point. I mean,

358
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: this is one of the better run defenses in the league.

359
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: He's not gonna and especially because he's got weapons twenty outside.

360
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: DJ Chark has become Jacksonville's version of Will Fuller, a

361
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: little bit bigger, maybe not as fast, but he's become

362
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: as dynamic when he's going down to field. Chris Connelly

363
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: had a big play last week with Gardner Mitshew, and

364
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: there's the other key making plays off script. So he's

365
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: got things that he can go to that he doesn't

366
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: have to just keep banging his head on the wall

367
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: of here comes Fournette, Here comes Fournette, Here comes Fournette.

368
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to keep doing that. And then he's

369
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: gonna allow the Texans to say, oh boy, he's throwing

370
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: the ball out wide. He's stretching us horizontally. How are

371
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: the technical the Texans are adapting By widening linebackers, by

372
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: widening safety safeties, have got eyes on receivers and not

373
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: in the box. Okay, bang now we can hit run.

374
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: Last week against the Jets, it was clear, very clear

375
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: watching that game that Greg Williams went in and threatened

376
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: his players with future employment, that Leonard Fournette was not

377
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: going to get his yep. And then at first play

378
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: want sixty six yards but after that, after that, he

379
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: had ten yards on fourteen carries. Wow, the Jags did

380
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: throw in the football. Now I will invite that all

381
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: day long. Because Leonard Fournette is not a completely trustworthy receiver.

382
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: He does not have DeAndre Hopkins hands, if you know

383
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: what I mean. So you can do you can do

384
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: some different things defensively to not have to worry about that.

385
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: But I think he will get to a point that

386
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: if it's not they're not showing any cracks in the armor,

387
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: then now he's gonna tested with no jj Watt. He's

388
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: gonna tested, right. But I think when Fournett's gets stopped

389
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: a few times, I think the Filippo's like, wait a second,

390
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: I got minshew. He likes a short passing game. Let's

391
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: go to that. Let's they're in man coverage. I think

392
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: we can beat it. Let's go to that. So I

393
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: think it'd be more likely that the Texans would run

394
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: for one forty because I do think they can get

395
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: some push off off the ball as they did in

396
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: Game two. They just have to be more consistent second

397
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: half to do it. But I think I'd go with

398
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: that over Fournett. If you never know who's coming back,

399
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: So let's just hope for the best there, all right.

400
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: Next one more likely to happen, More likely to happen

401
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: this weekend, the Cults win or the Titans lose. Kind

402
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: of a weird way of putting it there. The Titans

403
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: are taking on the Panthers and the Colds are at

404
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers, So more likely to happen Titans are gonna lose,

405
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: or the Colts are going to win. And the Steelers

406
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: beat the Dolphins on Monday, which really didn't show us much,

407
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: did it. I think more likely to happen is the

408
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: Colts go to Pittsburgh and win. Wow. I don't want

409
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: it to happen, so I'd like for the Steelers to

410
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,239
Speaker 1: do it. You think the Titans have a pretty good

411
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: shot up beating Carolina? Yeah? I do think that game's

412
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: in Carolina, right yeah? No, no, no no, no, no, yeah, yeah,

413
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: it's gotta because the Colts. The Colts match us. Yeah,

414
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: so the Colts play. Panthers are hosting the Titans. It's

415
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: a one o'clock Eastern game. I if I'm picking those

416
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: games just straight up, I think Colts win. I think

417
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: Panthers win. Yeah, I think Panthers playing at home, coming

418
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: back home. But you think it's more likely that the

419
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: Cults are gonna do it than the Titans are gonna

420
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: lose to the Panthers. Yeah, I would think so. I

421
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: think that's more likely to happen. Why I do get

422
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: the Titans a little bit of a shot, because they've

423
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: got a little bit now with Anny Hill, But I

424
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: just I still not buying the Titans. They should lost

425
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: that game last week. If they don't blow a whistle dead,

426
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: they lose to the Bus, they lose the Bucks week before,

427
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: if the Chargers have any oom fit all at the

428
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: goal line. But those are at home. Those games were

429
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: at home. Yeah, and it's the NFL, though, so weird

430
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: things exactly. And that goes to the weird thing about

431
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,239
Speaker 1: the Colts last week. They should have never won that

432
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: game against Denver, which by the way, I'm still a

433
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: little bit upset with you about. But that's my fault. Yeah,

434
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: it was your fault, yeah, betting Andre, I mean yeah, still,

435
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: but that was when Denver had a second in two

436
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: and they converted it or whatever, and they had to

437
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: get one more first down or they couldn't do it.

438
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: We all know the rest of the story. How about

439
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: von Miller bring down Brissette and it's all over. Why

440
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: why the Colts suffer or struggle rather against Denver? Was

441
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: that look ahead situation back or whatever? I think, honestly,

442
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: this is one of the things I was worried about

443
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. I think that Texans Colts game was

444
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: extremely physical, extremely physical, so it took a lot out

445
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: of bus. I think it took a lot of both

446
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: teams with you, I mean, obviously the injury situation for

447
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: us I didn't get took a lot of of both teams. Well,

448
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: the Raider game was no picnic either, and here a

449
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: big flight to take on the Jaguars in London. They're

450
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: home away from home, all right, So that you gave

451
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: me that? As that is the other action going on

452
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: in the AFC South, as I fall out of my

453
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: studio chair next, more likely to happen, more likely to

454
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: happen as the Ravens take on the Patriots. Lamar Jackson

455
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: one hundred rushing yards, Tom Brady three hundred fifty passing

456
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: yards man which he hasn't hit yet this year. Smoke,

457
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: he's gotten close. Lamar Jackson has gotten over the century

458
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: mark rushing and I got a feeling that he's gonna

459
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: be running a lot in this one. What do you

460
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: think as the Ravens take on the Patriots the Boogeyman

461
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,719
Speaker 1: as they're calling it now. They've called themselves this this

462
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: is pretty that's their defense. I cannot wait till somebody

463
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: runs it up on them. They have nicknamed themselves that.

464
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: I would love to be a fly on the wall

465
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: for that team meeting after somebody just goes bonkers on that.

466
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: How about how about? Yeah, how about the Texans put

467
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: on twenty eight on them and Belichick and in a

468
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: wine did you guys get scared? Yah? Boogeyman? That would

469
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: be I would love to be in that team meeting.

470
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have a plan for Lamar. I

471
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: think they're gonna do everything possible to make Lamar hand

472
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: the ball off. They're gonna take away all of his reads.

473
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: I think Belichick, who has taken over the play caller

474
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: on defense this year, has been brilliant. Play anybody. This

475
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: is a whole different challenge. And I heard Belichick say

476
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: in his press conference that it's not something they haven't

477
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: seen before. You just don't see a lot of it. Okay,

478
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: So the flip side of that is the Ravens are

479
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: gonna see some concepts that they have not seen before. Defensively, Yeah, well,

480
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: Lamar's gonna see some things like, wait a second, they've

481
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: got this guy reading, They've got this guy coming down. Okay,

482
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: this is different. They're doing something different on my reads.

483
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: So I still think that Lamar's gonna run for a

484
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: hundred Okay, I do think the house some way. He

485
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: just breaks a few. Yeah, I just I think the

486
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: Ravens are good enough in the secondary, and now I've

487
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: got Marcus Peters along with Marlon Humphrey. I think the

488
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: Ravens are good enough in the secondary to make life

489
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: maybe not a nightmare for Tom Brady, but a little

490
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: bit more difficult. Okay, so I'm going one hundred yards

491
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: more likely to happen. Lamar jacksone hundred yards. I still

492
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: think the pitchers win a game, but I think Lamar

493
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: will get a hundred yards. He'll kill move the ball,

494
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: all right, Next one more likely to happen. We talked

495
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: about James Bond because he's the second most popular British

496
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: icon ever behind the Beatles in my opinion. But all right,

497
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: you can have Shakespeare and stuff. But yeah, but I'm

498
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: talking about fictional character pop culture. That's culture culture all.

499
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: It's so James Bond, Sean Connery, we all agree is

500
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: the best one. Some people don't think so, but come on,

501
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: get with him. It was the second best. It's Roger Moore, really, yeah,

502
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: Roger Moore. To me, it's Roger Moore. I don't know why.

503
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just the era that I grew up in.

504
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: I'm I can't remember. Did I just elbow play Bond

505
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: yet or is he going to? Oh? I don't know

506
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: if that's official. I thought that was coming. I was

507
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: very curious. Just rapped shooting on the next one, which

508
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: comes out in the spring. He craigs. I think it

509
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: more of it has to do with just the romanticism

510
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: of when you saw those. A lot of it does.

511
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: But I'll say this because I was a nerd Bond

512
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: fan when I was a kid, and Sean Connery, and

513
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: really I grew up with Roger Moore. But Sean Connery

514
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: is the best. But I like, I think Pierce Brosen

515
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: is a good Bond. He just had horrible scripts. So

516
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: I think scripts have a lot to do with it.

517
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: Roger Moore's scripts as he went on through his Bond tenure,

518
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: were horrible, horrible scripts. I know they're based on the movie,

519
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: but it's so loosely so I think Brosen and with

520
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: Daniel Craig's scripts would have been great. I kind of

521
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: like Daniel Craig, I really do. Yeah, I like Daniel

522
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: Craig too. I just don't if for some reason I

523
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: just always see Connery and Roger Moore. Of course, that's

524
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: what it is, all right, Thanks Johnny. Hey, if the

525

Speaker 1: might appear. It's like that whole thing with your car mirror.

548
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,440

Speaker 1: I mean, hey man, you know, right in the middle,

553
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the college football season. What

554
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: what a season it's been so far. It's been a

555
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch, it really has. Now we

556
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: We always have important business that we discussed, and probably

557
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: the most important business is how do you get to

558
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: that game Academy Sports and Outdoors Texas Bowl. Well, you're

559

565
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: and see one of the best best college football games

566
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: in the country, one of the biggest games of the postseason. Uh.

567
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: It's been a top five matchup in terms of attendance

568
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: each and every year since these two great conferences got together.

569
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: And I can promise you this year will not disappoint

570
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,479
Speaker 1: at all either. Um. You know, coming off come off

571
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,239
Speaker 1: of last year, it's got pretty high, pretty hard by

572
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: pretty high bar to set after what was arguably the

573
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: best game was on the field of all last year, UH,

574
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: with Baylor squeaking it out over Vanderbilt to shootout. So

575
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: that was a heck of a football game. Not fun,

576
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: it was a heck of a football game. And I

577
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: remember when it was an ounced. I remember thinking Baylor Vanderbilt. Man, hey,

578
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: they haven't played much if at all. Okay, this could

579
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: be kind of interesting, and then thinking leave second, some

580
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: offensive firepower here, This could be kind of fun. I mean,

581
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: because of the ball game. You want to I think

582
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: people want to see some They want to see some

583
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: points scored, a little bit of defense here and there.

584
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: If you have that, but have some points scored, especially

585
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: with two teams haven't played a lot. In Vanderbilt, Baylor

586
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: gave that to its no question, Johnny, the uniqueness of

587
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: the Bull season as you get these matchups that don't

588
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: typically happen, UM come together in the postseason, UM and

589
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: celebrate that everything that's great of about college foot ball

590
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: now culminating with the playoff, which UM is certainly shaping

591
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: up to be a very interesting stretch run here. But

592
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, we're really excited this year's game moving a

Speaker 1: You can wait till Friday too. I gotta ask you

642
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: this from a Bowl perspective. Do you find yourself now

643
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: you don't have to say whether particular teams or not,

644
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: but do you find yourself rooting in some sense against

645
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: some teams and rooting for some teams because you want

646
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: a particular matchup in the Bowl? Do you find yourself

647
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: doing that at any point? I mean, look, we're fortunate

648
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: enough in this situation, Johnny, that two great conference partners,

649
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: Big twelve in the SEC, the elite of the college

650
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: football universe. Are there matchups that would be a lot

651
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: more locally relevant? Are there matchups that certainly would be, um,

652
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, more compelling than others. I think you can

653
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: make a case for that. But honestly, we've been very fortunate.

654
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: Since this game moved to that matchup in twenty fourteen,

655
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: it's been one of the biggest games in the country.

656
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: It's it's produced great, great matchups. Every single game has

657
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: gone down to the wire or at least a fourth

658
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: quarter and it's been an opportunity for us to really

659
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: showcase Houston as a premier destination for college football. You know,

660
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm a Longhorn, Yeah, so I love one anytime I

661
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: can see the long Horns. But they're playing pretty well,

662
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: even though they had a tough loss last week and

663
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: at TCU UM. And you know, I mean, anybody in

664
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: this region had an opportunity to host A and M

665
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: in Texas, we'd welcome that stands up and say if

666
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: you guys want to come play in Houston at RG

667
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: can make that happen. I know Chris doug Conte and

668
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: I know Ross Bjorkaer has a lot of wishes about

669
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: it on a whole lot of stages. Has are plenty

670
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: of fans throughout this great stay, so if it happens here, great.

671
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: But you know what, we're very blessed with the matchups

672
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: between these two conferences. And I mean just look at

673
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: it this year. You and I've already talked about this.

674
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: There's a ton of great matchups just to staring at

675
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: this right now, based on who may be there come

676
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: to Sember eighth. Well, I think one of them you

677
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: sort of alluded to in talking about Texas. You talked

678
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: about the win last week for TCU. Yeah, I think

679
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: TCU would be a really interesting team to be in

680
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: the Texas Bowl. And I know there a lot of

681
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: options of Bowl games that TCUs played in the past,

682
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: but getting TCU here would be pretty interesting. I mean,

683
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: Gary Patterson as a coach, Max Dugan had one heck

684
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: of a game as a young and that's the other

685
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: thing too with this game. I don't know that people

686
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: who have realized this, but just in my head going back,

687
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: you've seen at minimum a second round pick at a

688
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,239
Speaker 1: minimum in every Texas Bowl dating back the last four

689
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: or five years. Yet Joan Williams a corner for Vanderbilt

690
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: last year. In one year, you had Patrick Mahomes Jamal

691
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: Adams lad for net Fournett in that game against LSU

692
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: in Texas Tech a few years you got Miles Garrett

693
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 1: the number more overall pick in the Kansas State game

694
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: against A and M. So you're seeing top notch talent

695
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,479
Speaker 1: as well. And if you get tc you get Jalen

696
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: rigor So one of the better receivers in the country.

697
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: But TCU, it's very interesting, and I know I know

698
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 1: how you are fletched whatever matchup you get, like you said,

699
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 1: you come from elite conferences, You're gonna get a good

700
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: matchup either way. But obviously let's go to Texas, Texas

701
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: A and M thing. I know it's probably difficult to

702
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 1: talk about, but how unbelievable would it be? Because this

703
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: feels like the perfect opportunity for those two teams to

704
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: kind of dip their toe back in the water and say,

705
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: all right, we'll play in a bowl game on the

706
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: on the season record. It doesn't matter a whole lot,

707
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 1: but it's really gonna matter when these two I mean,

708
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: could it, could it happen? It could? I mean it

709
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: certainly is something that's not into our control. When I

710
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: say could it happen, I'm not saying like, you know,

711
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: could the sun come up the next say well, yeah, sure,

712
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: there's a possibility. But I'm talking about the realistic possibility.

713
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: Is something happening. You know, we saw it in twenty

714
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: fourteen when you talk about just throw the records out

715
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: and you see what the two teams on the chest are.

716
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: Texas and Arkansas played in one of the great great

717
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: rivals and all of that doesn't happen anymore, you know. Um,

718
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: the way the way as you know, Johnny, we have

719
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: a selection on the Big twelveth side, we have the

720
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: third selection after the CFP. On the SEC, it's a

721
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: we're part of the pool and so we don't have

722
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: a selection. So ultimately it's not on our control. Sure.

723
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 1: What we do, um know is that, as I said earlier,

724
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna have great matchups and the SEC, I mean,

725
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: my goodness, wide open right now. It's certainly top half

726
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: all but but when you start looking at you know,

727
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: teams like A and M right like um, you know,

728
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: Mississippi State, like Kentucky, like Tennessee. You know who had

729
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: a great win last week, even Auburn. You know, Auburn's

730
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: gotta play two top teams down the stretch, and um,

731
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: you know they've they've had a great they've had a

732
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: great start to their year, but would have liked to

733
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: have won the two games they lost. So you know,

734
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see. There's there's just so many possibilities. Um,

735
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 1: when you look at the SEC and really the Big twelve,

736
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: it's it's just so early to tell. And that's what

737
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: makes the back half of the season, um a lot

738
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: of fun. That's what makes the college football regular season

739
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: the best in all sports. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I

740
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 1: mean you bring up Kentucky. I mean Kentucky is because

741
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: of injuries at quarterback. They're playing their their best athlete,

742
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: the watch shiver Limb Bowden. They're playing in that quarterback

743
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: and he's completing like three passes a game. But Kentucky

744
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: just dominated Missouri. And Missouri is a really good team,

745
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: but not going to a bowl game this year. They

746
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: dominated Missouri the other day. And that's why I love

747
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: about it. There's just there's a compelling story throughout, no

748
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: matter what you and who you put u in that

749
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: in that game. In the Texas Ball, I mean last

750
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: year in Baylor and Vanderbilt, you're okay, and then you

751
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: see the athletes on both sides just making plays up

752
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: and down. You've got over, you know, whatever the over was,

753
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: they hit it and I think in the second quarter.

754
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: So you get a really really exciting game. I love

755
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: the matchup of the coaches. And I know we've had

756
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: Texas in here, We've had LSU in here, We've had

757
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: A and M in here. You know, it's obviously the

758
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: proximity of those teams to either for the kickoff game

759
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: or for the Texas Bowl. They've been great. I kind

760
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: of like it, Fletch, when we get a team that

761
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: doesn't normally coming into this area, a team like Vanderbilt

762
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: last year. You know, it doesn't normally come into this area,

763
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: comes down here to play a bowl game, and I

764
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: don't imagine for them that was a pretty cool trip

765
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: well and no question, a great opportunity for those student athletes.

766
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: Kansas State similarly a few years ago when they came

767
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: in and beat A and m He mentioned Miles Garrett

768
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: in that game, playing in it even though he knew

769
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: he was gonna be the number one pick. Um. These

770
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: games matter. It's it's a really big deal to these, uh,

771
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: these student athletes, these coaches, these fans. Um, you know,

804
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: let's get to Houston Methodist Minutes. Torn pictorial injuries very

805
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: much on our minds right now, so we'll bring in

806
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: doctor Patrick McCullough of Houston Methodist. How's it going, doctor,

807
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: it's going well, Mark, all right, we've got a very

808
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: famous injury this week in this category, but the Texans

809
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: have suffered a few over the years. So what happens

810
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 1: when you tear your peck? There are varying degrees, I

811
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: gotta think. Yeah. So peck ruptures are something that's seen

812
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: in very muscular usually men, and typically it's going to

813
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: be in a bodybuilder, a weightlift or a football player

814
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: because you have to have a strong enough muscle to

815
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: be able to pull that off and end up with

816
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: a peck rupture. So the muscle tears its alf or

817
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 1: is it the tendon? What happens when you tear your pack, Well,

818
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: it can tear in a couple places. So what we'll

819
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: often see in an acute injury and a football player

820
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: is where they've torn the tendon right off of the

821
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: arm bone. So if they're going to make a form

822
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: tackle or they're trying to make a swim move and

823
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: the arm gets pulled back, then they may feel a

824
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 1: pop and they could see some bruising on the arm

825
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: as well as on the check. That's actually a best

826
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: case scenario because then we can anchor that tenon back

827
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: down to bone, But it could also tear from where

828
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: the tendon attaches to the muscle or even within the

829
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: muscle fibers themselves. All right, so you clean all this

830
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: up and reattach everything. What's the recovery like from an

831
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: injury like this, well, for getting back all of your

832
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: power and strength for bench pressing, and for playing at

833
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: the highest level. If you've torn the ten and off

834
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: the bone or the muscle off the tendon, then surgery

835
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: is usually indicated to repair that. You'd spend the first

836
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: six weeks have kind of letting that heel but not

837
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: letting it get stiff. You then work on getting your

838
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: motion back and around three months start doing strengthening. But

839
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: because these are often very high level performers. Then you're

840
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: going to need more time to get back to that

841
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 1: same level, which is why in the NFL we typically

842
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: see about a six month recovery before they're able to

843
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: do all the powerlifting and explosive moves that they need

844
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: to be effective. Doctor, great information as usual, Thank you
